Chapter 642: Poseidon team used thermal resistance and cut off our logistics.
While Amber led the fleet towards the assembly center, the special agent ship 'Polarized Light', which had already positioned the assembly center and transmitted the accurate coordinates back to the fleet, quickly followed the latest instructions and conducted a complex operation. The orbit was adjusted, and it came to a 'triangular' position with the Atlas Fleet and the Federation Navy Fleet, and began to monitor the First Fleet pursuing the rear.
According to Tom, the captain of this spy ship and the commander of the entire spy ship fleet (although there are only 5 ships), the Polarized Light is actually hiding in this position to monitor the federal fleet. , much safer than opening a path in front of the fleet.
Whether on the ground, in the ocean, in the sky, or in the vast universe, vanguards and vanguards in battle are always in a high-risk environment, because no one knows what "surprises" are waiting for them ahead.
You may even think that you are sneaking quietly, but in fact you have been exposed to the enemy's reconnaissance, and then after entering the enemy's attack range, you were suddenly swept into pieces by a jet of heavy metal particles.
Now, although the 'Polarized Light' seems to have left the fleet and is monitoring the enemy fleet alone, it is not so easy to be discovered.
The interstellar dust cloud of the 'Pillar of All Beings' was originally at the edge of the gravity well of the 'Eye of Serpents', so the effect of gravitational wave radar in this area can be said to be extremely poor. In addition, there are a large number of dust clouds and various The existence of interference from different sources has greatly reduced the detection of fleet-level targets in this area. As for finding a hiding boat, it is even more difficult.
At present, the 'Polarized Light' not only activated the covert action mode, but also hid behind several huge ice crystals. The surveillance of the battlefield was entrusted to dozens of probes linked by transparent carbon nanotubes.
And this is just one of the reconnaissance methods of the 'Polarized Light'. As early as when it arrived at this location, the spy ship released 12 self-powered spy satellites.
These 'little things' remotely controlled by neutrino communication found some clinging objects such as gravel and ice crystals according to the preset settings after being dispersed, or they were directly fixed to the micro-power thrown by the 'polarized light signal' Camouflaged on a meteorite.
The huge reconnaissance network composed of spy satellites and probes also allowed the Polarized Light to firmly lock onto the movements of the federal navy fleet, and follow Amber's instructions to focus on the movements of damaged ships in the fleet.
After many actual battles, Tom has obviously gradually figured out the positioning of the spy ship. It is much more concealed than ordinary reconnaissance ships. It not only allows the spy ship to do some dirty work such as 'subversion behind enemy lines', but also allows the spy ship to Ships can perform many extremely dangerous reconnaissance missions with a very high survival rate.
Moreover, after extensive modification, it can even be said that the internal structure has been completely reborn. Apart from still looking like a 'Dragoon-class' destroyer, this spy ship has nothing to do with the latter
At this moment, while the Polarized Light was conducting reconnaissance, a group of "worker bees" attached to the ship also took this opportunity to start mining on the nearby ice crystals to replenish some working fluid water and coolant for the ship. and purified water for personnel drinking.
Because these worker bees are small enough, unless the other party sends another reconnaissance ship to 'close', it is impossible to detect the mining activities of this group of 'worker bees' at this distance.
Entering the light-controlled bridge, you can only see the faint light in front of the workstations of each battle station. The holographic projection platform in the middle of the bridge will also be temporarily closed to reduce the energy supply demand of the entire ship, thus making the hidden ship Battleships minimize all energy reactions.
Captain Tom just sat on his command seat, quietly watching the composite images returned by the spy satellite. After being the captain of the spy ship for so long, this man and Randall came from the space elevator star port together. The young officer who jumped out was much calmer.
Time passed by like this, and while everyone on the bridge looked at the federal navy fleet that was getting closer and closer, praying in their hearts that the other party would just pass by and not find themselves, the scene that the spy ship had been waiting for for a long time also appeared. Finally appeared.
"Captain, the opponent's damaged ship has moved and seems to be leaving the formation!" the intelligence officer suddenly said with excitement.
"You should calm down after seeing it, don't be so excited." Tom frowned, and then called out the shipboard control personality that hid the virtual projection.
"Measure the trajectories of these damaged ships and see if they intersect with the areas marked by the Boss."
Under normal circumstances, a stream of data would flash near the ship's control personality as a calculated 'effect animation'. However, the entire spy ship is currently in low-power mode, so there is no ship around Tom. A virtual image containing a controlled personality.
"The calculation is completed. The orbit of the damaged ship completely intersects with the marked β area. It is being re-calculated. The calculation is completed and the result is correct!"
After hearing the last words of the shipboard controller, Tom also nodded, and then looked at the communications officer who was already on standby: "Send a message to Boss and use the encrypted channel."
"Yes, Captain!"
The communications officer saluted and quickly began to operate. Soon, the 'Polarized Light' sent a triggered pulse neutrino communication to Amber's flagship. The content was also very simple:
"The enemy's damaged ship is maneuvering towards the beta area"
With the forward of the federal fleet maintaining strict signal detection, this communication signal was naturally captured by an electronic reconnaissance ship deployed in front of the fleet.
It's just that under the disguise of Atlas's neutrino communication, which was adjusted by Lilith herself, this communication signal was naturally regarded as a ray of the pulsar by the electronic reconnaissance ship, and then filtered out. Among the clutter.
'Eternity', bridge.
Ramos: "Boss, after receiving the encrypted communication from the Polarized Light, the other party's damaged ship has indeed gone to the β area!"
"That means the opponent's logistics team is indeed hidden here!"
After hearing Ramos' words, Amber couldn't help but wave her fist slightly. Her experience and memory from her previous life finally came in handy in this fleet battle.
Marshal Trafalgar was undoubtedly the most famous fleet commander in the early stages of the previous game "Starry Sky OL", and players were very concerned about this man who was the first 'Fleet Warfare Technology Inspector' at the time and was also a high-risk 'punisher'. Marshal Trafalgar, the target, also has in-depth research.
The battle between the combined fleet formed by players and the fleet commanded by Marshal Trafalgar is the most important and also the most difficult content of the guild war in the first season of the game.
The gameplay is very simple and unpretentious, full of the style of "second games" in the ancient times.
That is, the fleets of different guilds fight against the fleet commanded by Marshal Trafalgar. Finally, the guilds are ranked according to the value of the participating ships and the battle loss ratio, and are included in the first season guild battle points with a weight of 30%. The idea at the time of planning was the same as the literal meaning of the rules. The lower the total value of the ships participating in the battle and the higher the settlement battle loss ratio, the more points will be obtained.
But the problem is that when the first season of guild battles started, the entire "Star Sky OL" server had only been open for one month.
The most passionate players have just started driving on the whiteboard again. This is the highest driving level a player can obtain while ensuring that they are learning skills every day.
Even 'Heavy Cruiser I', 'Battleship Control IV', 'Long Range Target Locking Research I', 'Signal Analysis III', 'Track Budget III', 'Ballistic Analysis II', 'Weapon Upgrade Research I' ', 'Controlled Pulse Theory II' is a skill level that is not fully developed.
Not to mention the large player force, they are still hovering at the destroyer level. Many players have no money to buy a destroyer even if their skill level meets the requirements
Amber's 'Pink Rabbit' guild is also in the same situation. Although the president and a few Kryptonians have opened whiteboard heavy cruisers, the problem is the proportion of light cruisers, destroyers, and frigates among the remaining players in the guild. It's 1:8:1.
In other words, the entire guild fleet is actually a rapid strike formation with several escort teams.
And the Marshal Trafalgar they faced was commanded by a fully staffed "Old Federation" naval fleet - according to the plot, it was composed of a group of elites from the Old Federation navy who left after the establishment of the New Federation.
In this case, the player's fleet's troubles with Marshal Trafalgar can no longer be said to be an attempt to kill a stone with an egg, but simply to bring humiliation to oneself.
On the forum at that time, one could see videos almost every day of an entire player guild fleet being wiped out by a salvo fired by the fleet commanded by Marshal Trafalgar.
The kryptonians of the "Pink Furry Rabbit" finally gave up after they bought the highest level of human and ship insurance for all the guild participating players with a wave of their hands, and then were killed by the group eight times in a row.
They quickly united a large number of kryptonians to put pressure on the officials, and discovered that the game planning team leader had actually planned an ancient "naval combat" mobile game.
In that game, a very difficult "different color activity" was also launched on the server, which directly persuaded a large number of players to quit
The final result of this incident was that the official added a "plot kill" and set Marshal Trafalgar's fleet to be in a state where it had just escaped the pursuit of the "New Federation" fleet.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Not only did the number of capital ships be cut in half, but the number, accuracy, and frequency of the main guns that the fleet could fire were also greatly reduced. Then all plasma torpedoes and anti-ship missiles were 'lightened', and the ship-borne HCP was directly removed. The number was reduced to only a quarter.
After cutting off the 'Lich King' with a knife that was comparable to the one that killed the Lich King back then, Marshal Trafalgar, the boss of the guild war, was barely able to engage in battle. Otherwise, like before, the fleet would be completely destroyed in the first round of salvos. The process of destruction is indeed no gaming experience for players.
With the process of 'circulation', players finally had room to operate, and various targeted tactics were quickly developed with a huge player base.
What ultimately proved to be the most effective was a group of 'unknown players' who were highly suspected of coming from the Naval Command College, Annapolis Naval Academy and Kuznetsov Naval Academy. The tactics developed to attack the logistics squadron.
Because in the game, in order to reflect the gameplay, the logistics ship can directly carry out unscientific air supply work during the battle. From a certain perspective, it is like a traditional "nanny".
Therefore, after giving priority to killing the logistics squadron, Marshal Trafalgar's fleet will lose the ability to recover instantly, and players can then kill the marshal by force.
In order to find the location of this logistics squadron, a large number of players, including Amber, went directly to the War History Museum and began to frantically review all the previous battles commanded by Marshal Trafalgar. In the end, these players really figured out this location. Some command habits of a naval legend.
After ‘talking about ancient times’, let’s get back to the topic.
Therefore, Amber, as the fleet commander of the 'Pink Furry Rabbit' and a member of the public at that time, was of course very aware of Marshal Trafalgar's command style and habits.
The three areas α, β, and Ω he circled on the star map were also calculated based on memory, where the federal navy's logistics squadron might be located.
This is why Amber was so excited when she learned that the damaged ships of the Federation fleet were moving towards the beta area.
Because this means that the information he has about Marshal Trafalgar is valid!
Different from the "nanny" position in the game, in the universe Amber is currently in, the logistics squadron of the human navy does indeed carry out serious logistics supply work. In addition to the conventional supply ships in the logistics squadron, A group of combat prepositioned ships deployed in the warring star area will also be gathered together.
In addition to storing strategic supplies in advance, these prepositioned ships can also provide emergency wartime maintenance for the fleet. This is also the most important reason why damaged warships rush to the logistics squadron.
For Marshal Trafalgar and the three naval fleets under his command, this logistics squadron is undoubtedly very important.
Although the warships of the combat fleet have the ability to self-sustain for a certain period of time, you must know that Trafalgar lurked here more than ten days in advance. Not to mention the consumption of materials these days, the fleet alone in this interstellar The latent process in the dust cloud will cause a lot of non-combat damage.
The proton annihilation bomb assembly center used as a 'bait' is obviously unable to provide logistical supplies for these warships.
In other words, this large number of logistics squadrons lurking in the β area are the ‘lifeline’ of the three federal fleets.
Thinking of this, Amber no longer hesitated and ordered continuously:
"Pass my order to the rearguard fleet and start executing the 'isolation tactics'!"
"The 'Poseidon' squadron is ready to dispatch, complete the emergency acceleration under the 'partition cover' of the rearguard fleet, and then activate the covert action mode to attack the beta area for me and steal Trafalgar's logistics squadron!"
