Chapter 831 The Lost Fleet (4)

830. The Lost Fleet (4)

"You said you discovered 200 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers? Are all the crew members dead?" Holographic Projection Among them, Tang Xiao was so frightened that he almost cried out.

Now that his dark side force is becoming more and more powerful, there are definitely not many situations where he can lose his composure like this.

"Indeed, I am investigating the reason why this fleet is here. But the top priority now is to send reinforcements as soon as possible to receive this fleet. I don't have many men left." Severance - said Tann.

"How many more people do you have?" Tang Xiao asked.

"Except for the crew members left behind on the Plague, I can send out up to 800 people, plus the 500 B-1 combat robots originally used to do chores, and can activate up to five battleships." Seve Lance Tann replied, "According to calculations, the closest distance to our current location is the Halm galaxy, which is located in a void that is not directly connected by hyperspace channels."

"Halm Galaxy?!" Tang Xiao quickly turned back to check the star map, and then he said with a smile on his face, "The Harm Galaxy is close to the Seriya planet, which is less than 10 seconds away. In other words, you made this random jump! We’re in the central area! It’s not far from our control area!”

“Yes, but there is no direct connection to the hyperspace channel. It is estimated that it will be difficult to sail directly here. Only the best navigators can. Yes, or... use the force to sense it." Severance Tann said, "We don't have much time. The Republic fleet may follow my whereabouts and come here at any time. Moreover, the Jedi Order can definitely pass. There are people who can use the force to navigate."

Tang Xiao's face became solemn, and he used the force to sense the hyperspace channel. This happened to be in his own power blind spot. To put it simply, he couldn't. But there are definitely many people in the Jedi Order who know this. The overseas exploration plan proposed by Jedi Master Jolus Serbaos relied on the Jedi Master’s Force to navigate. Therefore, many Jedi Masters at that time specially learned this ability.

Among them is Obi-Wan Kenobi - he is also one of the participants in the overseas exploration plan. Before the war broke out, that is, in the plot of "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones", he could do without relying on instruments. Directly using Force navigation to find the Kamino planet that does not exist on the star map relied on the ability he learned during the overseas exploration plan.

“Contact Cunte immediately and ask him to come back to me as soon as possible!” Tang Xiao made a decisive decision and immediately turned around and issued an order through the mastermind, “Don’t wait, dispatch a transport fleet immediately without alerting the Republic. When going to the Seriya system, you cannot go to the Harm system, which is still under the control of the Republic. Everything must be done in secret."

"Then I will continue to look for the information left by this fleet." Si-Tann nodded and said.

"Katanaflleet." Tang Xiao suddenly said a name, "That's the name of this fleet."

Severance Tann was startled, " Do you actually know the origin of this fleet? "" This happened almost twenty years ago. Due to the news blockade of the Galaxy Republic, almost everyone has forgotten about this fleet that was famous at the time - Black. Chao, Blade Fleet," Tang Xiao said slowly. Neither he nor Tann had much to do now, so he began to tell the information he knew, "To be precise, it was 25 years ago (46BBY). , a brand new fleet established by the Galactic Republic.”

"Before, as we all know, the main battleship of the Justice Fleet of the Galactic Republic at that time was the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser. However, the old Dreadnought-class at that time was very inefficient. A 600-meter-long battleship actually required a crew of 16,000 people. This The internal environment of the warship is extremely poor, and it cannot carry out long-term operations - this warship cannot transport much supplies for 16,000 people," Tang Xiao said.

Severance Tann nodded in agreement. If it were her, she would definitely not be willing to command such a warship to fight, because it is estimated that the crew will be hungry two or three days after departure. That is to say, the Galactic Republic, which occupies the entire galaxy, can tolerate the existence of such warships because they can get supplies anytime and anywhere.

“Therefore, Rendili Interstellar Dynamics, the company that produces the Dreadnought-class, has made a major modernization of this type of warship. It has strengthened the automatic control equipment and intelligent AI, optimized the internal structure, and combined the requirements of the warship. The crew was reduced to 2,204 people... This also increased the warship's combat efficiency by at least five times, making it the most advanced warship at the time. This type of warship had high hopes from the Republic's Navy and ordered it from Rendili Interstellar Power Company at one time. 200 ships were built, and they were officially delivered on that day 25 years ago. "

"The Republic established such a fleet, named after the fleet flagship Blade, because these warships are all. The fleet was painted in gray and black, which was different from the red and gray paint commonly used in the Republic. However, on the first day of its maiden voyage, an accident occurred.

"What happened to cause such a fleet to disappear directly?" Severance Tann asked.

“When the fleet made its maiden voyage, this fleet almost caused a sensation in the entire galaxy, because at that time, this fleet was a real invincible fleet. They could attack any part of the galaxy in one day The galaxy launches an attack and will directly destroy all targets listed as enemies. The first voyage is scheduled to circle around the core circle to the main galaxy in the inner ring and then return to Coruscant. However, after the fleet sets off and enters the hyperspace channel, it will immediately be launched. Missing, and all contact was cut off."

"This incident became a huge scandal in the Galactic Republic. A total of 200 main battleships disappeared under everyone's nose, and they have never been found. This kind of thing put the Galactic Republic, the Judiciary Fleet, the then Speaker and Rendili Interstellar Power Company into a passive position. This also caused the then Speaker to lose to the Stark Hyperspace Battle in the election two years later. Phoenix Valoran, who has gained a lot of fame, had an absolute advantage over all his competitors in previous public opinion polls."

"Not only that, the battleship manufacturer Rendili Interstellar Power Company. It was also a shame. Many congressmen blamed the disappearance of the fleet on the automated operating system that Rendili Interstellar Power Company had previously boasted. They believed that the failure of the automated operating system caused the fleet to lose control and disappear. As a result, the Republic's military order has since been lost. He turned to the Quat Power Shipyard, and only a small number of orders for the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser were placed in Lundili's hands."

Tang Xiao said this and smiled sarcastically, "To be honest, compared to boasting. As for the Special Dynamics Shipyard, I am even more reluctant to face the warships of Rendili Interstellar Power Company on the battlefield, because their warships are simple and unpretentious, but efficient and reliable. After all, they are the three major industries now. Among the giants, Kuat Dynamic Shipyard has the shallowest background and foundation, and their rise has not been long.”

[Picture 1 attached to the Easter Egg Chapter: The approximate location of the Blade Fleet. The yellow circle is the current control area of the Fourth Civilization, and the red circle is the approximate location of the Blade Fleet. The Harm Galaxy is too small and not marked on many star maps. It took me a long time to find the reference object of Seriya. Only then did I realize that the Blade Fleet was really near the Fourth Civilization! 】
