Chapter 325 Magician Lilith
“What?! Where did so many fleets come from in this remote place?”
The puppet master was confused, and so was the fleet commander of the Quest for Truth Foundation. .
As the captain of a retired Federation Navy battleship hired by the Foundation at a high price, the latter has never fought in the serious large-scale fleet battles between the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire, but for We have gone through a lot of small-scale fleet battles such as annihilating pirates and rebels.
This kind of experience is enough for his re-employment after retirement.
But when he heard the tactical information coordination officer report that more than 80 unidentified warships had been discovered, he still panicked.
Although the Quest for Truth Foundation is a big business and the funder behind it is not short of money, it has only built a fleet of less than 200 ships of various types, and most of them are still They are all small boats such as armed merchant ships, frigates, and destroyers.
There are only more than 90 ships dispatched for this mission to explore the ruins.
Although it sounds nice to have completed the blockade of this space area, in fact it is mainly because Wang Liangsi's side is deserted and no one comes here at all.
More than 80 unidentified ships have been launched at once. If there is a war with someone, it is still unclear who will win.
However, anyone who can become the captain of a federal battleship is definitely not a straw bag. Even if he is a straw bag, he is still a relatively big straw bag.
So the fleet commander of the Quest for Truth Foundation reacted quickly after remembering that a large number of warships in the fleet had just reported problems with their fire control systems.
"Please inform me that the entire fleet will conduct electronic warfare virus scanning on the central system, and activate the third set of backup encryption rules for all communications. At the same time, we will work hard to identify unidentified ships. It is best to obtain long-wave radars. Results other than detection!
If the fire control and long-wave radar units have problems at the same time, and when so many warships are collectively 'sick', combine it with the one received on the international rescue channel. With no beginning or end to the distress signal, the fleet commander felt that there was a high probability that his fleet was under electronic attack.
This was not a new trick, and even the fleet commander himself had done so before. Used such tactics
Before he retired, he participated in a battle to encircle and suppress the rebels. His squadron was too aggressive and was trapped in the system by a larger number of rebels when the friendly fleet still had several days to arrive.
After a fierce battle, the squadron not only suffered heavy losses, but the flagship was also directly destroyed by a heavy particle cannon that penetrated the bridge and CIC due to "careless positioning".
After losing his command, he led the remaining friendly forces to deal with the rebels in the galaxy. Finally, he took advantage of the rebels' lax defense against electronic warfare attacks and successfully spread the power of the then-leading federal forces. G9 series of electronic warfare viruses.
The rebel fleet 'discovered' the 'friendly fleet' that was supposed to arrive two days later on the radar, and finally successfully led the fleet to support it until the friendly forces arrived.
Back to the present, this The fleet commander knows that if, in addition to long-wave radar, other detection methods, especially optical and infrared detection methods, do not detect anything, it can almost be concluded that the other party is just relying on the electronic warfare virus to bluff.
In his mind, this possibility was almost 100%.
"Commander Andal, it seems that you have a good grasp of the current situation?"
The Puppet Master, who has unusual perceptions, quickly captured the fleet commander's emotional changes. , after finding that the other party slowly calmed down from being nervous and slightly panicked, he floated to the other party and asked.
“I can’t say that I have everything under control, but based on my experience, this is very likely to be a ‘tactical deception’ based on an electronic warfare virus.”
Andal said Pointing to the situation map of the nearby space simulated on the holographic projection platform, he continued:
"To be honest, it is too strange that more than 80 unidentified ships suddenly appeared in this place
Even if there is a 'third party' in this ruins as you just said, it is impossible for the other party to Even the regular army of the Federation cannot have such efficiency in summoning a support fleet at such a fast speed."
As Andal said this, he heard the tactical information coordinator continue to report, saying that other battleships had sent back Observation results.
“Let it out, let us see what the situation is.”
The fleet commander of the Truth-Quest Foundation said, and then the next second his words were stuck. in the throat.
Because in the many images displayed, a large number of ships were indeed found. These results from synthetic aperture radar, optical, and infrared/ultraviolet detection equipment were gathered together and synthesized through the shipboard control personality. It was like a slap on Andal's face.
“This”
Andal was speechless for a moment, because this was indeed a result he had never thought of.
“Commander Andal, it seems that your judgment was wrong.”
The puppet master's voice sounded. He floated quietly near the captain's seat, looked at the unknown fleet found on the screen and said:
"Retreat, forget it if it is just the loss of combatants, these are very serious. Good to add, but the Foundation's fleet must not be lost here."
"Are you sure?" Andal looked at the on-site executive officer with some surprise.
This is not the first time that he and the puppet master have worked together. He understands the other party's method of doing whatever it takes to get the things in the ruins.
So when the other party offered to retreat, he still felt a little abnormal.
"Okay, let's retreat. We can't deal with the things in this ruins yet"
——
"Boss, the opponent's fleet has retreated."
He Sa Amber, who was on her way to the think tank center, quickly received the communication from the Polarized Light. After the foundation's warships entered the jump one by one and left, Tom and the others dared to use conventional communication methods.
"I understand, you continue to maintain covert action mode and wait for my instructions before heading to the open platform at the bottom of the ruins."
"Roger that, Boss!"
After ending the communication with Tom, Amber continued in her mind:
"Good job, Lilith."
" This is the latest electronic warfare virus developed by others. In addition to conventional interference methods, the 'image synthesis function' to tamper with the personality of the shipboard controller is the real 'killer weapon'.
But Master, you let the 'polarized light The decoys released before are also an integral part. If the opponent's detection unit does not find any targets, I will not be able to simulate the targets of so many warships for them."
Ever since Amber tasted the sweetness of using inflatable baits last time, Oens and Cliffs, who were 'trapped' at the time, have been trying to continue to develop this thing.
The equipment on the 'Polarized Light' is one of Orns's achievements based on Cliffs' suggestion.
The stealth configuration and plasma torpedo-sized decoy can adjust its course through its own small Hall thruster after being released.
After receiving the predetermined signal, the bait will unfold the folded frame, use the built-in compressed gas bottle to quickly inflate and enlarge to a size of hundreds of meters, then open the corner reflector and simulate a heat source, which is worthy of Said to be a fully upgraded version of what Amber had used before.
After completing the jump and entering covert action mode, the 'Polarized Light' actually released multiple such decoys and sailed towards the predetermined location.
In its undeployed state, the decoy, which is no more than the size of a plasma torpedo, will not be discovered by the Foundation's patrol fleet at all.
In this way, with the bait deployed in advance and Lilith’s electronic warfare virus, a perfect tactical deception was formed.
