Chapter 588 The Foundation Reappears
Before the 'Red Hand' special strike team entered the jump, Amber and the others also received the latest news from the research ship ahead.
The Foundation's fleet has released several small reconnaissance ships converted from civilian ships. At the same time, the combat ships have also found a position to complete their deployment. It is estimated that after the other party confirms that there is no danger, they will send the scientific research ship currently guarded in the middle of the formation to the ruins. location.
"The time for our jump is almost a standard day. If we calculate it this way, by the time we arrive, the people from the Foundation will have almost entered."
Ramos, the commander of the 'Red Hand' special strike team, said that he was one of the first captains to join Atlas besides Randall and Cleeves.
Later, he showed outstanding abilities in the 'Battle of Three Idiots' and the A. Bawa Ku Asteroid Fortress Defense Battle, so he was later promoted to a unit commander under the Asteroid Fortress Defense Fleet.
This time, when Amber was 'organizing the troops', through screening among the 'reserve commander reserve talents', Ramos finally stood out and became the commander of the 'Red Hand' special strike unit.
Upon hearing the words of the new commander, Amber nodded and replied:
"Then it depends on whether the gate of this Forerunner ruins can be blocked for a while. If it can't stop the opponent from cracking it, then we may really have to be prepared to be attacked first."
——
"Fuck! They really got there first!"
When the 'Red Hand' special strike team escaped from the jump and received several messages from the research ship, Amber suddenly felt that she was not very lucky today.
The Quest for Truth Foundation changed its usual cautious style. After the unmanned reconnaissance unit confirmed that there was no threat near the research institute, the entire Foundation fleet came forward and surrounded the research institute.
Immediately afterwards, the foundation's research ship quickly docked at the research institute and began to release personnel who wanted to enter the internal area of the research institute.
Although the gate confinement of this research institute seems to have been running, it did not last too long in the face of the Foundation's crackdown before it was opened - according to the news from the scientific research ship, the Foundation's fleet seems to have no connection with this research institute. None of the institute's defensive firepower was triggered, and the entire institute seemed to be undefended against them.
Although the escape coordinates selected by the 'Red Hand' special strike team are called backup concealment coordinates, they actually only increase the distance from the research institute to prevent the opponent from attacking first, and cannot really play a concealment role.
Especially in the 'hollow area' where this Forerunner Research Institute is located, the movement of a small fleet jumping collectively is as eye-catching as a torch in the dark night.
So Amber knew that the Quest for Truth Foundation must have discovered the strike team. In this case, Amber did not intend to sneak over secretly. Instead, after confirming the safety of the surrounding airspace, he directly sent the strike team along the shortest track towards The location of the research institute rushed over.
"Boss, what should we do next?"
Ramos, the commander of the strike team, had actually guessed Amber's thoughts at this moment, but for the sake of safety, he still asked.
"What else can we do, attack fiercely!"
"Yes, Boss! Attack!"
After hearing the order that reassured him, Ramos also excitedly issued an attack order to the strike team.
After staying in the Atlas Group for such a long time, many Atlas employees, including Ramos, have actually developed a certain degree of contempt for other private units.
In their view, except for the two serious national forces, the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire, other civilian forces would no longer be able to compete with Atlas.
Therefore, in these battles where the opponents are civil organizations, pirates, and rebels, Atlas commanders will be born with the psychological advantage of ‘confidence of victory +1’
As the 'Red Hand' special strike team entered combat speed and continued to get closer to the area where the research institute was located, the picture captured by the optical sensor soon appeared on the main screen of the flagship bridge. Because the light in this hollow area is too low, the picture displayed is also a composite picture that has been restored and brightened by the shipboard control personality.
In the center of the picture, the Entat 032 Research Institute, which has been lifted off its disguise by the Quest for Truth Foundation, is quietly staying in this space.
The entire institute is shaped like a giant gyroscope. The center of the institute is a sphere composed of two concentric rings rotating around the same axis. Each ring is approximately five kilometers in diameter, and the two rings are more than ten kilometers in diameter. Long spiral arms extend from the ring.
The overall shape highlights an abstraction - but this is the architectural style of the Jelam people.
In the airspace around the research institute, the fleet of the Quest for Truth Foundation has also adjusted the axis of the battleship to the direction of the 'Red Hand' strike team. Judging from the blue light flashing behind the front silhouette of their battleship, the opponent's battleship has also entered. Acceleration state.
"The size of the enemy fleet has been confirmed! Requiem-class battleship x 2, Dawn goddess-class heavy cruiser x 3, Fury-class light cruiser x 8"
The Tactical Information Coordinator loudly reported the situation of the detected Foundation fleet. Judging from the overall number of warships, it was only much more than that of the 'Red Hand' strike team, but the expressions of everyone on the bridge remained calm.
If it were Amber and Atlas in the past, when they saw this kind of formation, their hearts would still be a little drummed, but today is different from the past. When they saw the fleet of the Quest for Truth Foundation again, Amber only asked Ramos asked a question:
"In the first round of attacks, can we try to cause more than 40% of the enemy's battle damage?"
"Promise to complete the mission, Boss!"
"Are you so confident now that you can let your subordinates command the battle? And this is when the paper strength of the enemy and ourselves is close?"
In the back seat of a modified two-seater heavy armored combat boat, Saleh asked through the image displayed inside the armored hatch of the distributed aperture system, looking at the two fleets that had entered into a firefight in the distance.
"After all, I have to let the people below take over the regular command. I am just one person. Do I need to be responsible for all the battles in Atlas? Then why should I recruit so many people and pay them high salaries? ?”
Amber answered while controlling the two-seater combat boat, using the attitude control nozzle to control the orbit using compressed gas power in covert action mode, and approached the institute in a huge arc from the other direction.
As the combat boat got closer to the research institute, Amber also released its stealth and turned its axis 180°, using the main propulsion array to start decelerating.
"Saleh, is the back door you mentioned reliable? We will be there soon!"
"It's reliable. There is a quick access to the upper area of the institute. After entering, you can go directly to the core area of the institute!"
After hearing Saleh's affirmative answer, Amber no longer hesitated and directly controlled the combat boat to shoot several fixed carbon fiber cables towards the outer wall of the research institute, followed by a 'side parking' to dock the two-seater combat boat. At the edge of the quick access passage pointed out by Saleh.
Soon, the armored hatch of the combat boat was opened. Amber, who had already put on a psychic combat suit, and Saleh, who was wearing a Forerunner combat suit, floated out of the combat boat and followed a carbon fiber rope to the ship. This is the location of the 'back door'.
"Okay, Saleh, open the back door quickly~"
"Give me two minutes!"
