Chapter 357 The Uninvited Guest

Not long after the four fusiform battleships penetrated into the solar system, there was another distortion at the space point just now, but this time the scope of the space anomaly was much larger than last time, and it lasted longer. When it was calm, fourteen spaceships appeared there silently.

The fleet that arrived later did not speed up to leave immediately, but adjusted its formation and flew towards the solar system at an extremely slow speed.

Li Kei is the captain of the reconnaissance team. He is very indifferent to the mission directly ordered by the military department. A primitive planet, some unknown number of armed forces, just because the six armed spaceships of the security company have not returned, they need to be dispatched For the reconnaissance squad, the four reconnaissance ships are the reconnaissance force of the standard squadron configuration, which is a waste of resources.

Why did the military, which has always been tough, bow to those rich guys this time?It really confuses him.

A pure soldier would not know the meaning of the earth to Ao Tuo, and even Gou Lan. He just simply felt that if the consortium was allowed to join the army, it would definitely not be a good thing for the soldiers.

As an old officer who has served in the army for nearly 30 years, although Leakey despises the armed forces entrenched in this galaxy, he will not be careless because of this. This has something to do with the missions he has always performed and the special warships he commands. .

In his military career, there were many soldiers who turned into space dust because of some simple tasks, because the spaceships they drove were too fragile, negligence was almost synonymous with death, and Li Kei did not want to follow these people follow suit.

According to intelligence, the third planet in this galaxy is the target that Otto cares about.But there are no rules, guarding a planet must be near it, maybe once entering the solar system, it will encounter the opponent's probe, and once the scout ship exposes the target, in addition to relying on speed and flexibility to avoid the pursuit of the opponent's ship, it can only turn around and escape.

In order to increase the success rate of his mission, and also for his own life, Li Qi and his team are extremely careful.For example: when entering the solar system, they all cut in at extremely small angles.Even if the speed is slow, they always move towards the earth under the cover of meteorites.In order to prevent the enemy from detecting it, apart from shielding the system, they didn't even open the active scanning and protective shields, and the detectable area became extremely small.

All this is just to discover their main force before the opponent, then judge the strength of the enemy, and decide whether to use the extra-galactic fleet to attack.

Instead of five groups of meteorites, relying on their cover, Li Qi's scout ship entered the ring of Jupiter.

The four reconnaissance ships have a division of labor. There will be reconnaissance ships to investigate the areas in the solar system that are most likely to hide spaceships. If they are not found, all the reconnaissance ships will search the earth from different directions.Leakey's battleship is responsible for scouting Jupiter's ring and its vicinity.

Really bad environment, there is nothing but some gravel and dust.The reconnaissance ship flew around Jupiter, and Li Kei asked his men to control the search area as much as possible, limiting the scanning range to around Jupiter.Leakey was sure that as long as there was a spaceship hidden near Jupiter, he would be able to find even a large piece of metal.But after a lap, except for a few pieces of metal occasionally found, but that volume can't be a spaceship.If metal the size of a bathtub could make a spaceship, Leakey, an experienced scout captain, would need to retrain.

After searching Jupiter's rings, Leakey flew towards the earth according to the plan in advance.There are very few meteorites here, so it is of course impossible to fly over in such a blatant manner. In this case, the scout ship has other options, such as simulating a meteor and flying to the earth.The simulation function of the reconnaissance ship can successfully imitate the information fed back after the meteor is actively scanned, but this function is not without flaws, as long as the opponent uses the most common optical detection, the truth can be discovered.

Fortunately, the optical detection range is short, so as long as the scout ship doesn't encounter the opponent's detection device too unluckily, the chance of being discovered is extremely small.

At this time, it has been nearly thirty hours since they entered the solar system.

Being on alert for a long time will make everyone feel tired, let alone Li Kei, an unreplaced captain.Although he can occasionally close his eyes on the seat to rest for a while, even when his eyes are closed, his brain is always thinking about the details of this task. Can he rest like this?
"Captain, the contact time is up, can you connect to other ships?"

Li Kei's communications officer reminded him.This is the agreement of all scouting ships before the mission, because to keep secret, the ships cannot communicate casually, although Li Kei does not think that this force entrenched on the earth can have theater-level equipment to detect communication signals (all civilizations) Most of the communication methods are different, and the difficulty of detecting wireless communication signals is greatly increased. This kind of equipment can only be equipped by large fleets), but he still issued this order out of habit.

However, it is not enough to completely cut off communication between the four ships. In case a certain scout ship has discovered the other party's fleet, the other ships will go to the earth to look for it, so all the captains agreed that after entering this galaxy for [-] hours, they will use encrypted The method is to contact each other once, and if found, it is better to report to other ships.

Because according to the flying speed of each ship, [-] hours is enough for all the scout ships to scout the responsible target. If there is something that should be discovered by them, it is almost the right time to make contact.

"Okay, call the other members immediately." Li Qi ordered decisively.

The communications officer began sending connection requests to the other three ships.During the first request, the No. [-] reconnaissance ship got connected, but after sending out three consecutive connection requests, no other reconnaissance ship connected.

When the communication officer sent out the second connection request, Li Kei's hairs stood on end. When the third request did not respond, he immediately screamed: "Quick! Quick! All warships speed up immediately, at the fastest speed Evacuate this galaxy, mission failed."

Others on the bridge also realized that something was wrong, and at the same time as Leakey issued the order, they immediately acted quickly.The captain of the No. [-] reconnaissance ship also heard his order, and he issued the same order to his crew in the ship without even disconnecting the connection.Just kidding, once this kind of reconnaissance ship is discovered by the enemy, unless it can escape immediately, it will definitely shoot one by one. Its firepower and defense power are simply not worth mentioning.

Li Kei's heart jumped wildly. In his 30 years of military career, he participated in hundreds of battles, but none of the missions were so weird. The two scout ships disappeared without a sound. How did the other party do it?
"Turn on all the detectors, scan the surrounding airspace with all your strength, put away the meteor simulation function, and run the propulsion engine at full capacity." Li Qi tried his best to calm himself down, and issued orders to his subordinates one after another.

When the reconnaissance ship accelerated at full speed, the huge force generated pressed him tightly against the seat, unable to move, and his beating heart eased a little.

His subordinates kept reporting various parameters to him, and so far everything is normal.But it was the perfectly normal parameters that terrified Li Kei.

The detection and scanning capabilities of the reconnaissance ship are even better than that of the main battleship, but when the scanning is fully turned on, nothing is found. Isn't this a ghost?If there is really nothing abnormal, why did number two and number four not respond?
His spaceship was already at full speed, and Li Kei felt the seat vibrate slightly. Without acceleration, he could stand up from the seat freely. It seemed that it was not only the seat that was vibrating, but the whole body of the ship. All trembling.

"Captain, I found the position of the third ship, do I need to inform them to keep the same course as ours?"

"No need! Inform them and leave this galaxy at the highest speed." Li Ke replied without thinking.

"I found an unknown target." The observer on the side suddenly interrupted.

Leakey rushed over to the observer and stared at the screen in front of him.The three little red dots are constantly chasing towards the flying direction of my spaceship. The speed is not slower than that of my own scout ship, but because my spaceship is already flying straight at full speed, they can only follow behind at a certain distance. See It seems that if you want to catch up with yourself, you may not be able to do it.

"Notify No. [-] that our ship has found three targets and is being chased by them." Li Qi gave the order, keeping his eyes on the screen.

"Can you detect what ships these are?" Leakey asked his men.

Another subordinate was busy on his console for a while, and a picture popped up on his screen. Three black dots could be faintly seen in the picture, but it was impossible to see the shape of the black dots with the naked eye.

"Zoom in! Use all the techniques to zoom in on them! I want to see exactly what kind of spaceship they are." Li Kei wiped the sweat from his forehead and ordered anxiously.

The image was clear for a while and blurred for a while, and the men under the screen did not operate at all. This is because the brain in the spaceship is processing the image. It is not easy to get a clear image in this situation.

"Report to the captain, the third ship has lost contact."

"Report to the captain, a strong energy reaction was found at the location of the third ship."

"Report to the captain, the third ship disappeared from the scan."

Three reports made Leakey almost jump.There was nothing around No. [-] ship just now!And after focusing on the trackers behind him, he never heard any new discoveries reported by the observers. Could it be that it was some kind of new stealth ship that made the three scout ships of our side disappear?But I've never heard of that civilization having this kind of technology!

"Accelerate! Accelerate! Continue to accelerate if you don't want to die. Lower the shield and send all the energy to the engine. Damn, we don't need anything now, just speed."

Li Kei yelled hysterically, no matter how long a soldier has been in the face of death, not everyone can deal with it calmly.

There was a tremor in the bridge, which was no longer a tremor, Li Qi was a little unsteady.
