Chapter 1228 Catch the prey
Sagittarius spirals in the dark cosmic night sky.
The human fleet rushed for thousands of light years and gradually approached the Talindar fleet.
A Pales fleet gradually appeared on the optical detector of the Shenzhou.
"Catched it! I saw it in front!" Ye Zheyu was the first to discover the Talindal fleet from the naked eye level.
Fang Yuan heard Ye Zheyu's report and looked up at the picture released by the detector.
In the picture, there is an endless cosmic background.
In a very far place, there are several very tiny spots of light moving.
These light spots are very small and difficult for ordinary people to notice.
"Get closer to the picture." Fang Yuan ordered.
The screen on the screen begins to zoom in, bringing those light spots closer.
As the picture enlarges, the tiny spots of light gradually become larger and clearer, and finally they can be identified as the light of the spacecraft engine.
When a warship is conducting curvature flight, it cannot completely turn off the propulsion engine, and it will run at a low power, so the engine light emitted is not large.
After the picture is closer, it is clear that it is the light of the warship, which basically means catching the prey.
"Youwei, start the photon transition and stop them." Fang Yuan gave an order after seeing the engine light clearly.
The human fleet burst out with a bright band of light, speeding up to catch up.
As we approached, the picture became clearer and clearer.
First, you can see the engine light clearly, then slowly see the outline of the battleship around the engine light, and finally see the complete battleship.
"The target is confirmed, it is the battleship of the Talindar fleet." The reconnaissance team reported.
"Conduct interception." Fang Yuan issued an order in a steady tone.
The fleet continued to accelerate, crossed the Talindar fleet, crashed directly from their warships, smashing their warship effects like bubbles, and then continued to chase forward.
After the images of the Talindar fleet shattered like bubbles, the human fleet did not stop chasing and continued to accelerate.
"The large curvature blocker is ready." Fang Yuan's expression on his face did not change any changes because of the image of the Talindar fleet's shattered image. He continued to issue an interception order.
No one in the human fleet raised questions.
The reason for this is that the Talindar fleet seen by the naked eye is the real Talindar fleet, but the real location is different from the location you see.
Because under curvature navigation, the curvature speed has exceeded the speed of light.
When the human fleet saw the Talindal fleet from optical detection, the Count Talindal fleet was actually no longer in that position and needed to continue chasing forward.
"The prediction distance is 3 light seconds, 2 light seconds, 1 light second..." Lang Xiaonian calculated the star map and predicted the distance to the Talindar fleet.
This distance can only be predicted by the collected information, and it is impossible to obtain an accurate position from the optical level.
However, the position prediction of curvature flight by higher civilized warships is already very accurate, and the error is within a controllable range.
"Start the large curvature blocker!" Fang Yuan made a quick decision to issue an order.
Buzz!
The Shenzhou emits a huge energy that distorts the curvature of the space and blocks the curvature engine for curvature drive.
Buzzing...
Under the action of large curvature blockers, the curvature flight of the human fleet was subject to great resistance, and the curvature speed began to decrease rapidly.
"Currency reduction, 20 times the speed of light, 10 times the speed of light, 5 times the speed of light..." The curvature engine group informed the fleet's curvature velocity in real time, and kept all warships in the fleet at the same curvature velocity.
As the curvature speed decreases lower and lower, the load on the curvature engine is also increasing.
This process consumes a huge amount of energy, especially the energy reduction speed of Shenzhou, which is almost out of reach.
Because Shenzhou not only needs to maintain the power of the curvature engine, but also needs to maintain the operation of large curvature blockers.
The two are in opposition to each other, which is a huge internal friction.
However, it is necessary to capture a fleet of curvature flights.
The one who can do this is at least the flagship battleship.
The Shenzhou is more special. It is a star destroyer with fast speed and strong firepower. It is also equipped with a large curvature blocker. It is a very ferocious hunter in the universe. The disadvantage is that it is not worthy of cost performance.
As the fleet's curvature speed became lower and lower, the soldiers on the human fleet became a little nervous.
Because it is difficult to observe the fleet of Count Talindal with the naked eye before the curvature speed drops to the critical point.
Therefore, no one knows whether the arrest was successful.
This process is a bit like a blind man guessing the location of his prey and then catching him.
Of course, it is said to be blind, but the target position is also calculated through rigorous calculations.
However, it is not entirely certain before the answer is revealed.
"3 times the speed of light in curvature..." The curvature engine group once again reported the speed.
"Catched it! See it!" At this time, Ye Zheyu suddenly shouted.
Fang Yuan looked up and saw that Paleser's warship appeared 70,000 kilometers away from the Shenzhou.
This time it was a warship that was visible to the naked eye. As the curvature speed became lower and lower, the outline of the warship became clearer and clearer.
The current Shenzhou has opened a large curvature blocker and formed a curvature blocking field.
The curvature blocking field covers a distance of 100,000 kilometers, just covering the warship in front of it in the curvature blocking force field.
With the blockade of large curvature blockers, the curvature speed of the spacecraft in the range continues to decrease, and finally drops below the speed of light and stops operating.
The battleship moves forward to propel the engine.
On the screen, you can clearly see every detail of the target warship.
At this time.
Fang Yuan frowned, feeling something was wrong.
"Why is there only one warship? Is our net leaking?" Eve said it directly, with a confused tone.
Something is indeed wrong.
There was indeed only one warship caught in front of him, not a fleet.
Fang Yuan looked at Ye Zheyu and asked, "What did you see before is the engine light of a warship?"
"No, I saw three points. After getting closer, I saw five points. It was impossible that there was only one ship." Ye Zheyu was also very strange.
He was very sure that he did see five engine lights before.
In other words, there are at least five warships.
Moreover, in the dark cosmic night sky, due to the distance and the light being too dark, and the size of the warships is different, the engine light emitted is also different.
Usually, seeing a spot of light may cause a enemy fleet to be captured.
When you see three light spots, or even five light spots, you can basically be 100% sure, that is a fleet.
Ye Zheyu saw three light spots at the beginning, and when he got closer, he saw five more light spots.
From an observational perspective, this is a sign of discovering a fleet.
However, it is a bit strange that only one ship has been captured.
