Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1098 Fire

The pirate task force was not too far away from Roman's transport fleet, and the task force was hiding behind a star.

Transport ships also have radars, but radars have many blind spots, and stars are one of them.

Therefore, when energy waves are emitted from the perspective of the transport spacecraft, they will not be able to penetrate the stars, and the area behind the stars will become a blind spot.

The radar performance of the transport spacecraft is not top-notch, and most of the time the transport spacecraft will not turn on the active radar.

Because active radar consumes too much energy, it will greatly reduce the service life of the engine and energy system. Moreover, 99% of the time, active radar is useless because the radar detection distance and area are not infinite.

Radar detection also has an angle. It is not like a star that releases energy waves in 360 degrees without blind spots.

After all, how much energy does a star have? How much energy does a spacecraft have?
It mainly relies on channel beacons. There are beacons on interstellar channels, and these beacons also have radars. The beacons mainly serve as a guide for the automatic navigation of spacecraft. The radar of the channel beacon is intermittent scanning, and the scanning angle and direction are set according to the automatic program.

The main function of the navigation beacon is to scan some unknown meteorites and asteroids. The speed of these meteorites and asteroids is not very fast, generally only tens or hundreds of kilometers per second.

The scanning distances of channel beacons are also different. The system classifies the targets into dangerous, suspicious, and safe based on the scanning results, which refers to threats to the waterway.

The danger is the direction of the target, and the trajectory will affect the course.

Doubtful means uncertain, and safe means there is no danger to the waterway.

Taking all of these factors into consideration, it is impossible for civilian spacecraft to detect the hidden pirate task force.

The Roman transport fleet sails automatically according to the plan. The speed and direction are automatically controlled by the system, so not many people on duty are needed. Other people on duty can do what they like.

Of course, the pirate task force did not turn on the active radar in order to hide, so they would not notice that there was another fleet not far from where they were going to ambush.

This is Wang Muxue’s Ninth Fleet. Wang Muxue obtained the coordinates of the latest pirate task force and had no way to comment on Zhang Bozhen’s intelligence system.

There are also specific action times and action plans.

"Beep beep! Beep beep beep!" Shortly after the Roman transport fleet arrived at the ambush circle, the active radar of the Roman transport fleet sounded a warning sound.

The fleet's security officer quickly turned on the system and found unknown energy fluctuations coming from one side.

The characteristics of the energy fluctuations were identified as energy fluctuations from an unknown spacecraft engine.

The energy fluctuations of man-made spacecraft and various man-made engines have different characteristics, which are different from the energy characteristics of natural energy fluctuations, such as solar storms.

So the security officer followed the procedure and sent questions to the unknown direction of the energy fluctuations, asking who the other party was.

The Roman transport fleet was not afraid because the distance between the two sides was very far, hundreds of millions of kilometers. Of course, the other party would take a long time to respond, after all, the other party received the signal and fed back the signal.

However, the Roman transport fleet still activated the emergency system, asked everyone to be on standby, and began to preheat the energy engine.

This is also the process. Be prepared at all times when encountering unknown energy signals.

Forty minutes later, there was no reply from the other party.

The commander-in-chief of the Roman transport fleet ordered: "Start the first-level plan, start the energy engine, and move forward at full speed."

"Security officer, continue to contact the other party!"

"Intelligence officer analyzing the opponent's data characteristics!"

As soon as the commander-in-chief finished giving the order, the helmsman replied: "I have started the engine and started to advance at full speed."

The security officer replied: "I have sent a contact message, but there is no response from the other party!"

The intelligence officer replied: "According to our calculations, the enemy's speed is four times faster than ours. At the current speed, we expect to make contact in six hours."

"Request radar illumination!"

The commander-in-chief gave the order: "Turn on the radar in thirty minutes!"

If the radar actively illuminates the other party, it is very likely to cause misunderstanding. The reason why it is thirty minutes is because the time for the second contact is about this time.

That is to say, the distance between the two sides is such that the time it takes for the energy wave to be transmitted is fifteen minutes.

Thirty minutes later, the commander-in-chief gave the order: "Turn on active radar illumination!"

It takes a certain amount of time for information to be fed back after radar irradiation. This is unlike aircraft radars on planets. After all, the distance between planets is only a few tens of thousands of kilometers at most.

About half an hour later, the intelligence officer saw the feedback data from the radar and immediately reported: "Commander-in-chief, according to the data, it is a battleship, a C-class battleship of the Empire. The data similarity is 99.8%, and it is suspected to be pirates."

"Send a distress signal, contact the company, contact the military, contact the Transportation Security Administration, contact the insurance company."

"The spacecraft's engine is in burst mode. Notice to the entire team." The commander-in-chief gave the order loudly.

"Yes!"

"Calling the company headquarters, calling the company headquarters, this is the Green Vine transport ship of Roman Company, number GA345D21, currently..." Then the three transport ships began to contact the company, the Department of Homeland Security, and the insurance company.

There is a space quantum communication module on the spacecraft, so it is easy to communicate.

The Department of Homeland Security first confirmed that there was no action plan filed for any warships in the relevant star region.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport confirmed that there are no plans for any civilian spacecraft to fly in the relevant star region.

At this time, a voice came from the public communication channel: "Haha, you fat sheep, you can't run away, we are the Skunk Pirates!"

"And there are the Scythe Pirates!"

"And there are the Violent Bear Pirates!"

"And the Blood Blade Pirates."

"And the Steel Fang Pirates!"

"And there are the Wizard Pirates!"

This sound was also heard by people from Roman's head office, the insurance company, the Department of Homeland Security, and other departments because these departments were communicating with the spacecraft.

"Fat sheep, run as fast as you can. We are not interested if you don't run!"

"Haha, three transport ships, we're rich!"

"Surrender, you fat sheep, you can't escape!"

"Haha, haha, you Alliance trash, here we come!" The pirate battleship kept sending these signals.

The people on the three transport ships felt their scalps tingling because the active radar detected the number of the enemy's warships and synchronized the detection data to the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, companies, and insurance companies.

Wang Muxue was a little bored. Although she knew that pirates had appeared, she had not received the distress signal sent by the Roman transport ship.

This distress signal is sent out in the form of energy waves, and the channel space beacon will continuously relay it, mainly to see if there is anyone who can be rescued nearby.

The Ninth Fleet came out for a show this time, so there is no sailing plan, and the military doesn't care much about the Ninth Fleet, so it seems like it's left to fend for itself.

Finally, fifty minutes after the Roman transport fleet sent the distress signal, the Ninth Fleet received the publicly sent distress signal.

Wang Muxue looked at the time node, it was just right, everything was going as planned, and the Ninth Fleet also received the energy fluctuations from the pirate fleet and the Roman transport fleet at the same time.

"Start the first-level action plan!" Wang Muxue gave the order directly. "Start the fleet energy engine!"

"Turn on the active radar detection system to actively detect distress signals and suspicious signals!"

"Send a communication request to the Roman transport team!"

"Activate the battleship's energy shield!" Wang Muxue gave orders in an orderly manner.

The Ninth Fleet has one main battleship, two A-class battleships, four B-class battleships, and six C-class battleships.

All energy systems are turned on, and the weapon system, radar system, and energy protection system are also gradually turned on.

Now the Ninth Fleet is not afraid of being exposed, because the energy fluctuations of the Ninth Fleet will not be discovered by the pirate fleet and the Roman transport ship until fifty minutes later.

At that time, the Ninth Fleet was already sailing at full speed.

Because the distance between the two sides is quite far!

"Connect me to the military headquarters!" Wang Muxue directly asked him to connect to the military headquarters.

"General Wang?" The allied military was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

The three transport ships of the Roman Consortium encountered interstellar pirates, who were chasing them.

The Union Department of Homeland Security, the Union Department of Transportation, and the Union Parliament are already convening emergency deployments.

The reason why the Alliance Military is anxious is that once the Roman Consortium's transport ships are attacked by pirates, the military will be faced with a huge public opinion storm.

At this critical moment in the election, if the military fails to deliver, many politicians will come out and say they want to cut the military's budget.

The Alliance Parliament and the military have never trusted each other, and now that they have this opportunity, they must teach the military a lesson.

So when the military saw the location displayed when the Ninth Fleet was in contact, the officer in charge of the contact couldn't believe his eyes.

Because the spatial position synchronized when the ninth piece was contacted was actually at the scene of the incident, it can be said that it is very close.

"General Wang, where are you now!" Although the officer in charge of liaison had seen the location information shared synchronously by the Ninth Fleet, he still asked quickly.

"Our Ninth Fleet is conducting routine military exercises. Fifty-three minutes ago, we received a distress signal from three transport ships of the Roman Group. We also discovered targets suspected to be pirates. Now the Ninth Fleet is handling the relevant situation according to the procedures!"

"The data has been synchronized to the military headquarters. The active radar detection data will be updated in forty-five minutes." Wang Muxue reported in a businesslike manner.

"General Wang, I am the Chief of Staff of the Alliance Fleet Command. According to the active radar detection data of the three transport ships of the Roman, it has been confirmed that they are the six pirate groups of the Pirate Alliance!"

"Now the headquarters requires you to rescue the three transport ships of the Roman Group at all costs and strike against the pirates at the same time!"

"The headquarters is applying to the parliament for permission to use the main guns!" The Chief of Staff of the Alliance Fleet Command gave a direct order.

Because the commander of the Alliance Fleet Command is meeting with the Department of Homeland Security.

The Chief of Staff of the Alliance Fleet Command has considerable authority, and he authorized the Ninth Fleet to do this within his authority.

"I understand!" Wang Muxue replied immediately.

"The Department of Homeland Security has sent the terminal addresses of the space quantum modules of the Roman Group's three transport ships." The Chief of General Staff also sent the terminal addresses of the quantum communication modules of the three transport ships.

This would allow the Ninth Fleet to communicate directly with the three transport ships.

The Ninth Fleet rushed towards the pirates with great momentum. The warships of the Ninth Fleet were much more advanced than those of the pirates!
"I am the commander of the Ninth Fleet. Please answer if you hear me. Please answer if you hear me!" Wang Muxue directly contacted the three transport ships through the quantum communication module.

The commander-in-chief of the three transport ships of Roman Transport Company was a little dumbfounded, but now all the communication signals and all the situations of the three transport ships are shared with the Department of Homeland Security and the insurance company, and there is no way to operate privately.

Now the public communication channels of the three transport ships have been shut down. This was done remotely by the company, mainly to prevent pirates from hearing the relevant arrangements during communication.

This means that even if the commander-in-chief of the transport team wanted to contact the pirates, he would not be able to do so.

"I am the commander-in-chief of the team. May I ask if you have any instructions?" The commander-in-chief had no idea the location of the Ninth Fleet!
"Change the route, we are very close to you." Wang Muxue directly sent a route data.

"Execute the order!" Before the transport team's commander-in-chief had time to give the order, the company's president directly gave the order remotely!

The president of the Roman Group already knew that the Ninth Fleet was not far from the transport fleet.

Roman's three transport ships began to change course.

The pirates behind had just discovered that the transport ship had changed its course, and at this time the energy fluctuations of the Ninth Fleet also reached the pirates.

At the same time, there is a call from the Ninth Fleet!
"Please show your identities, we are the Ninth Fleet of the Alliance!" Such a voice came from the public channel of the Pirate Alliance Task Force.

At the same time, there is the beeping sound of being scanned by active radar.

That is to say, the task force was being scanned by high-power radar.

Moreover, the task force discovered that the sound came from right next to them.

And that huge energy fluctuation was also on his side.

"Woc!"

"What the f*ck is going on!"

"Why is the Ninth Fleet here!"

"Why is there a Ninth Fleet!" The captains of the Pirate Alliance Task Force went crazy.

"What the hell is going on!"

"What the hell are you doing, Pirate Alliance Council!"

"Why is there a Ninth Fleet!" The leaders of the six pirate groups roared in the communication channel.

Last time, the Ninth Fleet destroyed two pirate groups and put down the rebellion of the Red Earl!

The ferocious fighting style is terrifying for the pirates to think about!
The strength is really top-notch!

The most crucial thing is the Ninth Fleet, which is right next to us.

There was chaos inside the pirate task force, and they would definitely not be able to outrun the main battleships of the Alliance.

As for fighting, they will definitely not be able to defeat the main battleships of the alliance.

"I suggest fighting!" Charlie, the leader of the Skunk Pirates, was going crazy. It was his first mission and he encountered such a desperate situation.

"Fuck off, I'm leaving first!" The leader of the Magician Pirates left a word and ordered the warship to start turning.

At this time, Wang Muxue had already received authorization from the Alliance Council: "Strike hard against the pirates!"

And authorized the battleship's main gun and super main gun system.

At this time, they happened to receive the information from Yang Bo, which was that the pirates were about to disperse, and he also transmitted the data of the pirate task force.

"Ninth Fleet, assault formation!" Wang Muxue immediately gave the order, and the main guns of these warships fired at the same time.
