Chapter 832 The Lost Fleet (5)

831. The Lost Fleet (5)

"So what is the reason for the disappearance of this fleet?" Severance Tann has been completely He asked, intrigued.

“Cerebral plague.” Tang Xiao said, “This matter allowed the Senate Intelligence Bureau of the Republic (The Senate Bureau of Intelligence, SBI [Note 1]) to directly intervene in the investigation. On the basis of the almost unlimited authority it was given. , they searched almost every person related to the Blade Fleet, but still found nothing until finally, they found a group of cerebral plague virus carriers in the space port. "

"Is it Jia? The kind of plague that once broke out on Planet Bim?”

"Yes, this plague caused the planet Jabim to lose one-third of its population, which shows how serious this plague is. Moreover, people suffering from cerebral plague will first have abnormal behavior, and then it will get worse, and finally fall into Complete madness, attacking everyone indiscriminately to alleviate their own pain," Tang Xiao explained, "This is also a blessing for Coruscant, because these cerebral plague carriers have just arrived in Coruscant. , so the cerebral plague virus has not spread in Coruscant."

Then he continued: "And the SBI investigation can only go so far. They found that some of the cerebral plague virus carriers were in Taipei the day before. They had contact with the crew of the Blade Fleet who had been partying all night long at the airport, and they may have brought the virus into the fleet. But they had no idea what happened inside the fleet afterwards, because there was no one among the 440,000 people in the Blade Fleet. People can come back. So SBI turned to investigate the source of the cerebral plague virus, trying to find someone to be responsible for it. This is another story."

"After the Blade Fleet disappeared, it was once regarded as a threat. As the biggest treasure in the entire galaxy, many people believe that if this fleet has not been torn apart by hyperspace, it must still be hidden somewhere. As long as this fleet can be found, it can reach the sky in one step. However, no one has found it. Coupled with the Republic's intelligence blockade, this matter has long been forgotten." Tang Xiao finally looked at Tann with a half-smile, "But it seems that the one who rose to the top is you."

Ser. Frances Tann nodded and said: "It seems that this is indeed my lucky day. I actually found this blade fleet that the entire galaxy is looking for. I will bring this fleet back intact."

"You'd better do this, Tann. You should understand that your series of battles almost ruined my big event." Tang Xiao said coldly.

"Yes..." Severance Tann lowered her head.

"Okay, let's go to work. I will come in person when Cun Te comes back. Now the first transport fleet has set off, but I'm not sure if they can reach your location in time." After Tang Xiao finished speaking, he cut off the communication.

Severance Tann let out a long sigh of relief. She found that her back was completely soaked with cold sweat. She found that the pressure brought by Tang Xiao on her was getting bigger and bigger. She knew that the dark side of Tang Xiao or Darth Malthael was getting stronger and stronger. When he displayed it unscrupulously, such oppression could completely crush a person!

She came to the console of the battleship. The engineer had been working just now, and had already passed the command system log of the battleship and found that the last hyperspace jump command of the battleship came from the flagship. And he has also found the location of the fleet flagship, the Blade.

Severance Tann immediately followed a team into the flagship Blade, and immediately began to clean up the battleship, and entered the bridge to crack the control system and activate it.

Because this is the fleet of the Galactic Republic after all, even if the warship is on standby, it cannot be activated and controlled unless it has a key authorized by the Republic's military. Therefore, it needs to be cracked, which takes time, and time is what Tann is most worried about.

Through the deciphered message from the flagship Blade, Severance Tann finally put together the last piece of the puzzle of the entire incident.

Because it is a great honor to be selected as a crew member of the Blade Fleet, before the maiden voyage of the Blade Fleet, the crew members partied all night, drinking and picking up girls. This resulted in many of them being infected with cerebral plague due to contact with patients, and all crew members had been concentrated before the fleet set off, so the cerebral plague virus spread very widely invisibly. Afterwards, when the crew arrived at their posts, many people had actually behaved abnormally, but these behaviors were ignored by careless officials as the crew members were still hungover. At that time, corruption was rampant in the Republic's judicial fleet. The officers were not thinking about how to improve their combat effectiveness, but how to live their own lives well. Naturally, they would not ruin everyone's happiness at this moment.

Then things happened just as they were about to make the first hyperspace jump. The crews of dozens of warships in the fleet went crazy and rioted and quickly lost control, and some other warships There were also instances of crew members going crazy.

Only then did the fleet commander realize that something was wrong. After confirming that it was cerebral plague, he asked all warships to immediately seal off the rescue cabins and hangar platforms to prevent the virus from spreading to other planets. At the same time, the fleet commander asked all warships to close their bridges to prevent crazy sailors from occupying the bridge and causing more terrible consequences.

But in fact, judging from the records, the fleet commander himself was already a little incoherent at the time, and it was obvious that he was also infected with cerebral plague. However, it can also be seen from his series of decisions that this is a serious and responsible commander. His first consideration is to prevent the virus from spreading and causing more casualties.

However, things did not develop as expected. Cerebral plague spread faster and wider than expected. There have been more than 30 battleships with cerebral plague patients on the bridges, and they began to go crazy. Attack other people.

Once the battleship is controlled by brain plague patients who still have some intelligence, it will be bad if they open fire on other battleships, and what is even worse is that these brain plague patients will directly drive the battleship away.

So the fleet commander decisively made a decision that could preserve the fleet to the maximum extent. He ordered all warships to move closer to the flagship to form a dense formation, and then the flagship issued a synchronized jump command to drive the fleet away from Coruscant. Prevent the virus from affecting the capital of the Galactic Republic, which has a population of one trillion.

The synchronized jump command is a commonly used command when a large fleet jumps. In order to ensure that all warships' hyperspace jumps are synchronized, this command is issued by the flagship and enforced by other warships in the formation.

But when the fleet commander issued the jump order, he was already a little delirious due to the influence of the cerebral plague virus - he did not explain the destination of the jump. At the same time, the pilot of the flagship was also infected with cerebral plague, so he directly issued the command to jump into hyperspace without conducting navigation at all.

At the same time, they never thought of asking for help. Maybe it's because the fleet commander forgot, maybe because he still has the last hope, and wants to limit this matter to the Blade Fleet so that it won't become a scandal. Maybe it's because of the influence of cerebral plague... This Nothing is known anymore.

Finally, the entire fleet began random hyperspace jumps without navigation. And because the fleet was too large, the hyperspace jump was completely out of control. It took them several days to escape from hyperspace.

When the fleet left the hyperspace jump and appeared near the Halm galaxy, there was no one alive in the entire fleet...

The Blade Fleet has completely become a missing fleet.
