Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 881 Weighing the pros and cons
"This is just received." When Lin Feng walked over, he handed the portable optical computer in his hand to Yang Yi.

While Yang Yi was browsing the information just received, Lin Feng opened the star map, and marked the route and several pre-planned routes on it.

The news was sent by Yuyang from the Moheng galaxy, and the reconnaissance teams arranged by Shen Chengwen had completed their missions and started to rotate as planned.In other words, these reconnaissance teams will always be active in the periphery of the Moheng galaxy, conducting continuous monitoring of several main directions.

It can be said that this is a crucial step.

Only after this line of defense is completed, will it be possible for the enemy to believe that the fast battleship Yang Yi and the others are on is part of this line of defense.

Of course, Yang Yi never contacted Yuyang.

According to Yang Yi's arrangement, he would contact Yuyang only in case of an accident.In other words, Yuyang only needs to regularly report to Yang Yi about the situation in the rear, and does not need to know about the situation on Yang Yi's side.Of course, for Yuyang, no news is the best news.

After reading it, Yang Yi walked towards Lin Feng.

"These are the routes I planned based on the information provided by the Expeditionary Army, the Weaving Star Clan Legion, and the Silicon Charm Legion. Take a closer look."

Yang Yi nodded slightly, he kept staring at the star map.

There are three routes.A route that directly points to where Yang Yi is going is also the shortest route.One made a detour, but it still broke through the defense line of the Silicon Magic Alliance from the front, and would go deep into the central area of ​​the Northern Alpha Galaxy.The last one is the longest, avoiding the defense line of the Silicon Charm Alliance, and entering the central area of ​​the Northern Alpha Galaxy from the north.In addition, several star systems are highlighted on the three routes.

After watching for a while, Yang Yi's brows were also locked together.

"This route is the most direct, but as you have seen, the route has to pass through five space nodes, and the situation of these five star systems is not certain. It is impossible to be sure whether there are enemies stationed, and there is no guarantee that it will not follow Enemy encounter. Of course, this route is the shortest and takes the least time. Although the speed of this warship is not fast enough, and the jumping distance is not far enough, but when necessary, we can drive a space fighter to break through, and maybe we can catch up with the enemy It’s only possible to reach the destination before.” Lin Feng sighed and said, “The risk is indeed great, but the rewards after the adventure is successful are also great, at least it can save a lot of time.”

Yang Yi nodded slightly, but did not express his opinion.

"This route is a little farther away, but it still needs to pass through the enemy's defense line. In order to avoid those star systems that may have enemy garrisons and reduce uncertainties, we made a few turns. Of course, at the speed of this battleship , the delay won’t be too much.” Lin Feng paused for a moment, and then said, “It’s just that this route still has to pass through three space nodes with uncertain factors. At least based on the information we have so far, we It is impossible to be sure that there are no enemies in these three star systems, but the probability of existence of enemies is slightly lower. Simply put, if our luck is not good enough, it is still possible to expose our whereabouts when passing through these star systems.”

"Obviously, we can't count on luck." Yang Yi sighed when he said this.

"Then, we can only choose the farthest route." Lin Feng also sighed with a wry smile, and said, "This route avoids all the star systems with uncertain factors, so it circles a big circle .Although the safety is the highest, the voyage is also the farthest and takes the most time. If it is conservatively estimated, even at the fastest speed, it will take about half a year to reach the destination. Although judging from the current situation, this route is the most Safety, as long as we take appropriate measures, we can minimize the risk, but no one can guarantee the situation half a year later, and no one can guarantee that the enemy will not adjust the defense deployment during this period. Because it is far away from the area under our control , so after going deep into the Northern Alpha galaxy, we can’t get exact information.”

"That is to say, it still depends on luck."

Lin Feng nodded, indicating that was exactly what he meant.

Yang Yi pondered for a while, but finally sighed.Obviously, he didn't know which route to take, or he couldn't make up his mind.

"Need my advice?"

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded towards Lin Feng.

"Obviously, no matter which route you take, there are risks, and they are uncontrollable risks. It can be said that we don't know what will happen next, and we can't guess it. However, we must not stand still because of this. , this is not your style." Lin Feng paused for a moment before saying, "Since the risk is uncontrollable, why don't we look at it from another angle? To put it simply, the more time we spend on the road more, the greater the probability of encountering unexpected situations. Obviously, what we need to consider is actually just to find a balance point, a balance point that can reduce the risk to a range that we can bear and spend the least time. Although in the end It depends on luck, and you obviously don't want luck to determine the fate of all of us, but we have no other choice but to abandon this operation. Obviously, you will definitely not abandon this operation."

"You mean we have to weigh the pros and cons?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.

"If you really can't make up your mind, you can actually..."

"Obviously, it's not just our trouble."

Lin Feng looked at Yang Yi very puzzled, obviously she couldn't keep up with Yang Yi's thinking speed.

"Now, the Phantom Ghost King is also weighing the pros and cons." Yang Yi smiled lightly, and then said, "She knows that I am back, and also knows that my strength is far above her. After the previous fiasco, she There will definitely be a re-evaluation. To put it simply, it is to fight us as long as possible, or launch a large-scale attack as soon as possible. If the consumption continues, she may not be able to win, maybe she will be able to live for a while. A decisive battle with us as soon as possible is also a gamble. And the probability of winning is also very low. How do you think she will choose?"

"This……"

"In other words, what is the ideal choice? Obviously, there is no ideal choice, so she will definitely do both."

"What do you mean?"

"If it can be dragged on, the Phantom Ghost Emperor will definitely choose to drag it on. It's very simple. We are fighting with our backs. Even if we have the support of the Dragon God Queen, we are not the masters of the Northern Alpha Galaxy. Maybe it won't be long before we will fight with the Dragon God." The ghost populations ruled by the empress clashed. In fact, because there are not enough resources, the conflict will be inevitable, and it will happen sooner or later. Obviously, as long as the current front can be maintained, then the advantage is in the hands of the phantom king , we will definitely run out of resources first. The problem is, we will definitely not wait until that day to launch an attack, so the Phantom Ghost Emperor will also be ready for a decisive battle with us."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, and said, "It's just that she won't take the initiative, but will wait for us to launch it."

"That's right, but she will definitely make full preparations, such as forming enough silicon demon legions and mobilizing enough silicon demon warships. More importantly, she will pay close attention to our every move and monitor the scouts we send out. Detachment, collect information related to us. Simply put, if a decisive battle is inevitable, even if she will not take the initiative to provoke the war, she will take the initiative to seize the initiative on the battlefield by actively attacking when necessary."

"That is, she will attack when necessary."

"Then, the question is, under what circumstances would she attack?"

"Is this related to our operation?"

Yang Yi smiled lightly and said: "There is no direct relationship, but there is an indirect relationship. That is, no matter how covert our actions are, we must be under the surveillance of the Silicon Phantom Alliance, but we don't know it. More importantly, Phantom The Ghost Emperor obviously doesn't know that we are on this battleship, nor does he know where this battleship is going, but treats this battleship as a patrol ship wandering around the periphery."

"That's what we want to achieve."

"The question is, can we take this battleship and reach our destination without being discovered by the Phantom Ghost King?"

"This……"

"Obviously, this is absolutely impossible. To put it bluntly, as long as we break through the enemy's line of defense, the Phantom Ghost Emperor will know that we are on this battleship."

"Are you going to give up?"

Yang Yi shook his head slightly, and said: "You said that I have to weigh the pros and cons, and my decision is to let this battleship attract the attention of the Phantom Ghost Emperor and buy us enough time."

"This……"

"We're taking the third route, but it's just this battleship. When we reach the next space jump node, let all officers and soldiers bring sufficient supplies, and then leave the battleship."

"Only by space fighters?"

Yang Yi nodded and said, "It will take more time, but it must be more hidden."

"The problem is that other officers and soldiers only have ordinary space fighters. The space jump distance is very short, most of them are only a hundred light-years at most, and it takes a lot of time to replenish the original energy after each jump. More importantly, not only can we not avoid To open those star systems with uncertain factors, you have to pass through more star systems, and you are more likely to encounter the enemy, and the probability of being discovered is even greater."

"If it's just space fighters, that's true."

"Could it be..."

"And the two of us."

Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Yi in surprise.

"We take turns to explore the road in front, and after confirming the situation of the jumping node ahead, let the officers and soldiers follow up. The emperor-class fighter plane we drive can complete the space jump outside the star system, and can also avoid the space inside the star system. Enemy, the probability of being discovered can be controlled."

"This……"

"Of course, we have to be fully prepared for possible unexpected situations, at least let the officers and soldiers retreat when they encounter trouble. After setting the course for the battleship, you have to contact Yuyang and let Yuyang arrange it Respond to work and wait for news from us."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Lin Feng didn't talk too much, and she wasn't the kind of person who likes to talk too much.
