Vol 4 Chapter 1053: Interception plan

"This is a bit difficult. There are tens of thousands of possible combinations of hyperspace channels. I don't know the direction of Ulysses' escape, and I don't know where he will appear." Lang Xiaonian expressed helplessness.
Superlight spacecraft cannot be tracked in real time, and will only be discovered when they pass through certain important hyperspace nodes.
Moreover, Ulysses can also selectively avoid hyperspace nodes that may be discovered.
Therefore, without knowing the destination of Ulysses' retreat, it is impossible to calculate his evacuation route.
This is indeed a difficult problem, and everyone is thinking about it.
After a while, Han Youwei suddenly raised a finger and said: "If I were Ulysses, what I want most at this time... should be his own fleet. If he is bringing his own Pegasus Third Fleet , Instead of the sub-fleet, you may not need to run, and you can counterattack in place and wait for support."
"Indeed, send a message to the earth and let the headquarters confirm with the photosynthetic civilization the position of the third fleet of Pegasus. This main fleet suddenly lost the fleet commander, it is impossible to do nothing." Fang Yuan immediately issued an order.
Zhao Anya started to contact the Earth Headquarters.
After waiting for almost twenty minutes, I finally received an answer from the Earth Headquarters.
"After we destroyed the star gate of v838 Monoceros, the Palese civilization lost the fastest hyperspace channel to reach the galaxy. The Third Fleet of Pegasus could only detour to the galaxy and converge with Ulysses. According to the photosynthetic civilization According to intelligence, the third Fleet of Palese Pegasus was discovered in the α554 Centauri star field half a month ago."
Fang Yuan looked at Lang Xiaonian, no need to speak, Lang Xiaonian knew what he should do.
He immediately began to make gestures on the star chart, and his lips kept moving, apparently calculating data.
Almost ten minutes later, he turned his head and said: "We are now in the Scutum spiral arm, and the Palese Pegasus Third Fleet is in the Centaur spiral arm. The Scutum spiral arm is connected to the Centaur spiral arm, collectively called the shield- Centaur arm.
"With Ulysses' position, if he wants to rendezvous with his fleet, then we can indeed intercept in the direction of the centaur's spiral arm.
"According to the distance of the hyperspace route, if we want to intercept, our speed is not enough."
"How much speed do you need?" Fang Yuan continued to ask without being discouraged.
"Calculated based on the ultimate speed of the Ulysses pilot destroyer, we must at least reach a curvature speed of 40 times the speed of light before we can hope to intercept him in the star field near β206 Centauri." Lang Xiaonian replied.
"This seems to be okay. The counterattack speed is not enough, but the mining ship can reach 20 times the speed of light, plus the captain's "photon jump", wouldn't it be 40 times the speed of light?" Eve suddenly felt that this could be done.
Zhao Anya shook her head and said: "It is impossible to do this. If Fang Yuan uses all the star power on the'photon transition', even if it is intercepted, how can he compete with Ulysses? What's more? Even if it is in full bloom? A comparable level of combat power. And, are you planning to open a mining ship to fight someone else's main battleship?"
Eve think about it? Have an idea again: "Then we install the curvature engine of the mining ship on the counterattack? Then the counterattack has the latest curvature engine, and the curvature speed should reach 30 times the speed of light? The captain only costs. A little star power can reach 40 times the speed of light? That's not enough."
"This plan is still dangerous? The key is that it is difficult to make a quick decision to catch up. Once the third Fleet of Pegasus arrives, it will definitely be destroyed." Zhao Anya still puts safety as the first consideration.
In a team, does someone need to consider security issues? She is the person in charge of this work.
After Fang Yuan pondered for a moment? He looked at Eve and asked, "Are you sure you can install the curvature engine of the mining ship on the counterattack?"
"No problem! It's just a small operation, and it's the curvature engine of the Palestine civilization. Don't transplant it too easily." Eve patted his chest to ensure, very confident.
"Wait a minute! Even if we can intercept Ulysses? But it is not enough for Fang Yuan to confront Ulysses. The Counterattack is definitely not an opponent of Ulysses' destroyer, and will be sunk as soon as it meets. "Zhao Anya reminded.
"Then... Then I will also transplant the triangular matrix shield to the counterattack? This way the counterattack has the most advanced shield system. And... I know, there is energy? When the consumption increases, the energy will definitely be too. Increase? The anti-matter reactor is also transplanted to the Counterattack." Eve is going to hollow out the mining ship.
"Let’s make the decision. I’ll start preparing to disassemble the equipment now. I’ll try to use this time? I will increase my combat power again? I will try to lose Ulysses in seconds." Fang Yuan got up and left the bridge after he finished speaking, and took the Zro star. The source takes away.
...
Eve immediately began to lead the engineering team excitedly, preparing to transplant the curvature engine, triangular matrix shield and antimatter reactor.
Fang Yuan went into a training room, opened communications, and connected to the Earth Curvature Laboratory.
Before long, the image of Yang Yuping appeared on the wall screen.
"What is it for me? Do you know that such communication will consume one percent of my computing power?" Yang Yuping looked impatient, as if Fang Yuan's communication interrupted his work.
Fang Yuan raised the triangular pyramid container in his hand and said: "We have got the Zro star source. According to the data, the Zro star source can increase the energy level of carbon-based life. Human beings are also a kind of carbon-based life. OK?"
"Young people, don't always be rash. This kind of substance discovered for the first time requires many experiments to verify the effects and side effects before it can be used. You need a scientific spirit, do you know?" Yang Yuping said in a lesson. .
"I don't have time to do that. Half a month later, there is a very critical battle. Only a slight increase in combat power can be insured." Fang Yuan explained.
"I still don't know your combat power? You can't pinch the star rating. What kind of battle needs to be improved to fight? Do you want to challenge the constant star?" Yang Yuping said casually, apparently pumping I took part of the computing power used for communication to work, and did not think about this issue carefully.
"Yes, it's best to drop Ulysses in seconds." Fang Yuan replied with his hands folded.
Yang Yuping suddenly reacted: "What? You have a planetary star, but you want to lose a constant star in seconds. When did your brain suddenly change?"
"Just tell me. Can you help? If not, I'll try it myself." Fang Yuan held up the Zro Star Source, ready to open it directly.
"Just make it up! Forget it, I'll help you do the test with 10% of the computing power, and take this thing to the counterattack small laboratory, equipped with experimental equipment according to my requirements." Yang Yuping finally decided to help.
There is a laboratory on the Counterattack, where you can do some simple experiments in outer space.
In Yang Yuping's current form, he can complete the experiment remotely with a portion of his computing power.
