Lin Xiaoting was only responsible for arranging the battleships to provide cover. As for how Yang Yi used this operation, he did not ask, and Yang Yi did not give more explanation. It's not that Lin Xiaoting can't believe it, but it's unnecessary. Besides, if someone settles accounts after the fall, Lin Xiaoting can still shirk responsibility without knowing it. Although all the troops in the third theater are used, the military is the boss, and all nine theaters have to obey the command and dispatch of the military. You know, the warships and legions in the nine theaters belong to the Federation, and they serve the Federation during the war, at least in legal terms. The theater command has no right to mobilize troops without authorization, let alone arrange combat tasks for the troops without authorization.
Although these regulations are mostly empty papers, they have never been implemented. After all, the commanders of the nine theaters are all important members of the military and can directly issue orders to the combat troops. However, the regulations are written in black and white. If someone takes it out. Speaking of things, even if Zhan Ruilin came forward, it might not be able to settle. Lin Xiaoting is only responsible for arranging the breakout operation, which has nothing to do with Yang Yi's actions.
After all arrangements were made, the action proceeded as planned.
It was originally a secret operation, so Yang Yi and the others did not make a loud noise. As the small warships arranged by Lin Xiaoting set off one after another, the "Xinghai" disguised as a reconnaissance ship also left the space port of the Third Theater Command and followed the large forces to fly outside the home galaxy.
This is a long journey.
Although in peacetime, a small warship can leave the home galaxy with only one space jump, but now it is a time of war, direct space jump will cause obvious space fluctuations, and all jumping routes are cut off by the enemy, and the risk of jumping is too great. .
To be on the safe side, all warships can sail to the periphery of the home galaxy in a normal way, that is, near the orbit of the outermost planet Acarius, and then the space jump route will be determined according to the actual situation. It’s just that for most warships, it takes a lot of time to collect and obtain the necessary parameters for space jumps, especially the coordinates, before they can safely make space jumps.
Obviously, this is a ghost gate.
In addition to delaying a lot of time, no matter what method is used, even passive detection equipment, as long as the collection and acquisition of space parameters will inevitably cause interference to the space, and the battleship itself is the source of interference, which will affect the surrounding space, and can also be affected by the enemy. Find.
Prior to this, almost all warships that tried to break through were intercepted at this time.
Obviously, this time is no exception.
Although he hopes that all warships can successfully break through, Yang Yi knows very well that the more than 100 small warships sent by Lin Xiaoting may be wiped out.
It's just that sentimentality is useless.
Two days later, the "Xinghai" reached the orbit of Akarius.
This is a giant planet and the outermost planet in the home galaxy. Although it is huge, it is of little value to the human federation. The point is that this is a single planet with no satellites, and the giant planet is made of liquid hydrogen and cannot establish a base on its surface. Although hydrogen is a very important resource for many long-distance spacecraft, that is, it can synthesize water with oxygen, and water is the most critical material for long-distance voyages, but the most indispensable thing in the universe is hydrogen, and oxygen is present on many planets. It’s not scarce. When it came to the homeland galaxy, the Human Federation built a factory dedicated to extracting hydrogen near Akarius to serve the long-distance spacecraft. It's a pity that this space factory orbiting the Arcarius star lost its value after the original equipment was fully popularized. Although the Human Federation once planned to build a military base based on the site of the factory, it was never able to execute it. The main point is that the cost of building a military base here is too great. Just transporting various materials and equipment is a huge expense.
For thousands of years, this planet has rarely been disturbed.
The last time human warships came here was a thousand years ago, during the Beacon Star offensive and defensive battle, Xiao Wentian led the fleet to battle with the Silicon Magic fleet, and achieved a decisive victory, forcing the Silicon Magic Alliance to enter its homeland. The galaxy attacked the Beacon Star before, which kicked off the attack and defense of the Beacon Star. For more than a thousand years thereafter, no warships of the Human Federation appeared near Akarius.
After sailing to a distance of about 100,000 kilometers from Akarius, the "Xinghai" entered the orbit.
Although Akarius is not of much value, as a giant planet, it interferes with the surrounding space extremely severely and plays an excellent role of cover.
Next, there is still waiting.
Although Yang Yi allowed Allen to control the speed of the "Xinghai" and arrive at the same time with other warships, other warships need time to determine the spatial parameters.
Of course, for the "Xinghai", this is not a problem at all.
As the most advanced warship of the Star Weaver family, the "Xinghai" is equipped with a set of extremely advanced space jumping devices, which can jump in space without restriction, and can also determine its own space parameters. When he came to the vicinity of Akarius, Yang Yi asked Allen to prepare for the space jump. Although according to the plan, the "Xinghai" will perform space jumps with other warships, at least until the other warships have determined the space parameters and can perform space jumps, but as long as necessary, "Xinghai" can perform space jumps at any time. , To leave the home galaxy, that is, to break through the encirclement outside the home galaxy set by the Silicon Charm Alliance.
For Yang Yi, the waiting time passed very slowly.
When the patrol ship appeared, the "Xinghai" had been near Akarius for about ten hours.
Hearing the alarm, Shen Chengwen and Otis rushed over.
Unlike Yang Yi, Shen Chengwen and Otis did not waste any time. To be precise, both of them were using their precious time to improve their abilities. According to Shen Chengwen's arrangement, the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade participating in this operation were in groups of five to conduct combat training with the female warriors arranged by Otis to find the correct way to fight the strong. Of course, female warriors such as Otis can also learn a lot of practical experience from the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade. In addition, this kind of direct-hands-on training can also enhance mutual understanding and trust. Although the female warriors are very powerful, the Star Weavers form an alliance with the Human Federation and obviously cannot keep the soldiers of the Human Federation out of the battlefield. If we have to fight side by side in the future, then establishing a relationship of trust at this time will certainly have great benefits.
Of course, this kind of trivial matter does not need Yang Yi to intervene personally.
When the two came in, Yang Yi glanced back, and his eyes fell on the projection screen in front of him.
Is it a patrol ship, or a patrol ship of the Silicon Magic Alliance, not very big, but the patrol ship is originally a small battleship, far inferior to the battleship, and it is impossible to build it as huge as a battleship. Like the Galaxy Alliance, the patrol ships of the Silicon Magic Alliance are mainly used to perform reconnaissance and security missions, and they do not have too strong combat effectiveness. Simply put, after discovering the target, what the patrol ship has to do is to report the situation immediately, not to engage with the target. Naturally, it does not need too strong combat power. What it needs is speed and communication equipment. Although patrol ships are useless in frontal engagements, they have irreplaceable value elsewhere.
"Major?"
"How about it?"
"Even if a sneak attack is launched, the certainty is not very high, there is only less than 10% probability.
Yang Yi nodded slightly, and said nothing, Allen also closed his mouth wittily.
Shen Chengwen was very puzzled, and looked at Yang Yi without understanding.
"I asked Allen to analyze whether we are sure to destroy the patrol ship before it sends a signal." Yang Yi looked back at Shen Chengwen and Otis and said, "Obviously, we can only wait patiently. That is a ship. Ordinary patrol ships, as long as they are not too close, they will not find us."
Otis nodded, expressing that he understood what Yang Yi meant.
"Just wait and do nothing?" Shen Chengwen asked.
"I have made Allen ready. If there is no other way, I will take the initiative and make a space jump to leave this ghost place."
Shen Chengwen was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded.
"Of course, you should know that if we make a space jump in advance, our whereabouts will be exposed, and we will even be watched by the main fleet nearby." Yang Yichang exclaimed, "So it's not a last resort, we can't do this, now I can only wait patiently, hoping that the patrol ship is only conducting routine patrols and will leave soon and will not carefully search the low orbit area."
"I hope so." Shen Cheng murmured after hearing it.
Otis sighed secretly and prayed secretly.
Although the "Xinghai" has advanced performance and is equipped with the most advanced concealment equipment of the Zhixing clan, as long as the patrol ship gets close enough, it can detect the space interference generated by the "Xinghai" and discover the "Xinghai". "The number, at least knows that there is a small warship near Akarius.
Of course, this probability is very low.
Akarius is a giant planet with a low-orbit area equivalent to more than ten times its volume, and a patrol ship certainly cannot search a complete low-orbit area in a short time. If this patrol ship only patrols here routinely, and it has searched the low orbit area before, it will not be redundant. According to normal circumstances, this patrol ship would not even enter the orbit of Akarius, but would fly away directly from the vicinity.
Maybe this is just a chance encounter.
Of course, Yang Yi and they all hope so.
The question is, is there such a coincidence
Although the Silicon Magic Alliance dispatched tens of thousands of patrol ships to monitor the home galaxy, for a star system and the largest star system in the North Fourth Region, 10,000 patrol ships are not too many. Distribute these patrol ships at equal distances, and the distance between two adjacent ships is more than 100 million kilometers. Normally, it takes about ten days for a patrol ship to fly back and forth, while Yang Yi and the others only took ten hours to come here.
If it wasn't a coincidence, the patrol ship came to the vicinity of Akarius star in a targeted manner.
If so, luck wouldn't be so bad.
