Chapter 637 Icebreaker
"Report, received urgent message from Boss from the fleet!"
"Read."
[It has been confirmed that the 1st, 2nd and 3rd fleets of the Federation Navy are all guarding the 'Pillar of All Beings' area and will immediately launch a full-line attack according to the pre-war task assignment. ]
After seeing this urgent message, Guterres felt a little mixed. He was partly thankful, but more of a worried person.
He was glad that he did not have to fight his seniors on a frontal front, but at the same time he was worried about whether Amber and the others would be able to escape unscathed when they encountered three elite fleets of the federal navy.
But obviously on the front line, Guterres is not the only one who cares about Amber.
Randall and Cliffs, who were also responsible for commanding part of the fleet, as well as Isabel and others who were responsible for tactical intelligence and friendly force liaison, also became nervous after seeing this message.
Because the fleet composition of Amber's side can be said to be full of BUFFs. Among the rookies, new ships, and new systems, he, the fleet commander, has the most experience.
Therefore, the combat situation envisioned at the beginning was only to fight against one or two federal fleets returning to defend at the same time with the support of the "Eternal" super flagship.
Like the current situation where Marshal Trafalgar personally led three elite fleets and set up an ambush more than ten days in advance. It’s not that he didn’t consider it, but everyone, including Amber and Guterres, I feel that under the current strategic fraud, the probability of this happening is really too small.
It’s just that ‘Murphy’s Law’ also applies to this universe. The less Amber and others wanted this to happen, they finally let this least likely situation happen.
“Fuck Boss, it’s going to be difficult!”
Cliffs clenched his fists and hammered his legs. The worry on his face was clearly visible to several officers around him.
"Cliffs, calm down first and pay attention to your expression management"
Guterres's voice sounded on the communication channel, with a calm and unquestionable tone. This most senior naval officer immediately played a role in stabilizing the morale of the military at this moment.
The saying "A family with an elder is like a treasure" is very appropriate to apply to Guterres. Even if they are on different battleships, he can easily guess what other people's expressions are like now.
"You are the backbone of your respective fleets. You must stay calm and remain calm no matter what situation you encounter!"
Hearing the words of the navy veteran, Randall and Cliffs also realized the problem. They immediately resumed expression management and suppressed their worries.
"Senior, what should we do now? We can't provide any support here," Randall asked in the communication channel.
"Execute the Boss's order. Now we are acting according to the plan. If there are no other accidents, it will be the best support for the Boss and the fleet!"
"Yes, senior!" ×2.
Guterres nodded subconsciously, and then asked the nearby communications officer to bring in all ten fleets on the front line, including the Renaissance Alliance.
When all the green icons representing each fleet in the communication channel lit up, Guterres's whole temperament also changed instantly, as if he had returned to commanding fleet operations in the federal navy.
"Attention all troops, according to the order of Supreme Commander Amber, a full-scale offensive will be launched on the frontal front! The feint attack operation 'vaudeville' is cancelled! From now on, it will switch to the 'breaking point' operation!
According to the 'Breaking Point' combat plan, the Supreme Commander has granted me the power to command the fleet. Each fleet must unconditionally execute the tactical orders issued by the flagship. Any violators will be punished in accordance with Atlas wartime regulations. The punishment is to be removed from duty and imprisoned. If the entire ship disobeys, it will be sunk on the spot!
Do you understand everything? ! "Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" ”×N
In the chorus of answers, a long-lost feeling returned to Guterres, and his whole person began to exude a high-spirited temperament.
The old navy man knew very well that the 'breaking point' combat plan not only represented Amber's trust in him, but also represented his test of himself, so he had to hand in an 'answer sheet' that satisfied the Boss.
Soon, the battle alarm sounded among all the battleships.
After all crew members changed into cabin suits, the oxygen in each cabin was completely exhausted, some key cabins were also injected with inert gas, and the isolation doors between cabins were lowered.
The originally bright bridge has also been adjusted to a relatively dim color. This is also to allow everyone to fully focus on the workbench in front of them.
Guterres, who also put on the cabin suit, opened the "breaking point" combat plan on the mask of the cabin suit that only he could see, and received a preset order from Amber after activating it.
After seeing this secret instruction, even Guterres, an experienced naval officer, almost lost control of his expression and raised his eyebrows a few times.
“As expected of the Boss”
Putting away his sighs, Guterres quickly contacted George, the vice president of Atlas Mining and the commander-in-chief of the site, who was at an unknown location through the encrypted real-time communication line granted to him. .
The latter's voice soon sounded in the encrypted line: "Mr. Guterres. I didn't expect to really receive this communication. Does that mean?"
"Yes, Mr. George, according to Boss's reservation order, please start executing the 'Icebreaker' plan now! The relevant verification code has been sent simultaneously!"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Yes, the verification code has been received. Atlas Mining's first engineering team is guaranteed to complete the task!"
As the brief encrypted communication ended, George also turned his attention back to the outside of the helmet visor, just like the same large group of worker ants, attached to an engineering team on an 8-kilometer-diameter ice crystal.
The ‘Atlas Mining First Engineering Team’, composed of the old miners Amber rescued from pirates, is currently the team with the strongest comprehensive operating capabilities in Atlas Mining.
Although there are only 108 people, in the past two years of work, this group of miners has grown rapidly. Many of them have also chosen to undergo a certain degree of human body modification, allowing them to control a certain number of engineering robots to work simultaneously.
Just like now, three engineering ships are surrounding the ice crystals, and the engineering machinery on these engineering ships and the 'worker bees' released by the 'hive' are approaching the ice crystals one after another to perform operations.
At almost a speed visible to the naked eye, the 'backside' of the ice crystal was gradually dug out and embedded into a number of fusion furnaces and energy pipelines, and finally connected to twelve sets of plasma propulsion arrays.
Outside the propulsion array, there is also a circle of disposable large-scale working medium rocket engines.
"Boss! The progress of the operation of 'Ice No. 1' is already 85%. Do you want to send part of the team to 'Ice No. 2' as planned?"
The voice of a foreman sounded on the communication channel, sounding a little excited.
George also quickly replied: "Yes, just follow the operation plan and let the 'Alex' take its team to make preparations first!"
Not long after, George, who had been staying on the rocker-type 360° observation deck on the command ship, saw that one of the engineering ships recovered the personnel and equipment, and slowly adjusted its direction amidst the constant flashing of the vector control nozzle. , and in the light of the main propulsion array, it headed towards another giant ice crystal in the distance.
And further away, huge ice crystals one after another cover almost the entire space
