The Composite Evolutionaries dismantled the gravitational catapults at the core of the Evolutionary Starship and evenly arranged them in areas of the Milky Way where several civilizations were relatively concentrated, but they did not designate who would manage them. They turned back to the Extinction Realm and placed the brand new, upgraded

The upgraded gravity catapult was re-stuffed into the belly of the Evolver starship, leaving a lot of trouble to other civilizations in the galaxy.

Whoever can control the gravity catapult can become the overlord of the galaxy before the composite evolution returns. Everyone has this idea in their mind, but only true madmen will actually take action for this goal.

When the Liuma sailed at warp speed near the gravity catapult, the gravitational wave radar showed two fleets confronting each other. Each of them had more than fifty large and small starships, each of which spread out in a straight formation.

It shows a menacing momentum at a close distance of ten light seconds.

"Attention all ships, I am the captain." Alex immediately started the ship-wide broadcast: "The area around the gravity catapult is not very safe, and a fight may break out at any time. Boss Ming, please go to clear the cannon, Mr. Jin, please find the red and green

Stay with Xiaoxiao in the medical room."

After he finished speaking, Amy whistled softly. "Well done, that's what a captain should do. But is it necessary to hand over the zeroing cannon to Boss Ming? I can definitely control the zeroing cannon at the console."

"You are not familiar with the Zero Cannon, but I know that weapon very well. Its power can be enhanced by the additional computing power, which significantly increases the control time and the level of technology that can be suppressed. According to this principle, the underworld boss is the most suitable to use

That weapon." Alex also said: "Once involved in a battle, I will go to the mine cannon. Recently I have begun to learn the advanced tactics of the computing stick 1. The mine cannon needs talents like me.

.”

"There don't seem to be any powerful starships here." Amy said this, but still set the Liuma to emergency maneuver and defense status, which means to prepare the engine at full power and at the same time use the reserves of the shield and particle reverse thrust engine.

Full of energy, she turned on all the projection screens on the bridge, displaying all information about the starship itself and the surrounding environment.

Just the Liuma's own flight control, shield, communication, reconnaissance and energy systems have thousands of different parameters. If you add in the situational scanning of the surrounding environment, the amount of information doubles. Amy is processing it at the same time

All the parameters, only one hand was used to steadily control the spherical rudder, and the other hand pointed at the projection screen for Alex. "Look, these two ships are the biggest threat, but they are not conducive to performance.

The position is slightly blocked by the barrier satellite ship. This shows that they are still more afraid of losses and want to play conservatively. If they really want to fight, it will not be like this."

"Who are those on both sides? Can't you give way?" As soon as Alex finished asking, two calls rang at the same time. One said that he was the Trade Alliance, the star governor of the gravity catapult in the Beolo sector, and the highest local commander.

authority; the other side says that they are free natives, the original residents and defenders of the Gravity Slingshot, and they are resisting bandits for the benefit of all travelers.

"Which side is connected?" Alex pinched his nose and said to Amy: "Sister, whose starship on both sides do you think is more powerful, and who is more likely to win?"

"Well, it's really hard to say." Amy shook her head: "The level of the starships on both sides is not very good. This low-level battle situation can happen in any situation. Half and half, there is no significant difference, no matter what you want

It doesn’t matter to us whether we choose one or neither. The worst thing we can do is make a circle at warp speed, go to the opposite side, and then get close to the gravity catapult.”

"Okay, let's take a detour. The automatic system of the Composite Evolved Man is working on the gravity catapult, right?"

"Yes. When the Evolver starship separated the gravity catapult, it left behind an automatic response control system and a high-speed communication mechanism connected to the computing power network. What happens here can be known within a few minutes.

"Amy said as she pulled back the spherical rudder to make the Liuma retreat. This was equivalent to first showing an attitude of not interfering, and then finding a suitable angle to use warp speed to bypass the fleet.

"Huh?" Amy suddenly said, then quickly raised the spherical rudder, and at the same time increased the power of the particle reverse thrust engine, causing the Liuma to suddenly start to accelerate. "The natives are preparing to activate the war shackles! Alex, do it

Be prepared."

"Attention everyone, the Liuma may start maneuvering at any time. Wear your space suits and don't take it lightly." Alex raised the spherical rudder in front of him and said to Amy at the same time: "Now you go and put on the full space suit.

Then you can take over the control of the spacecraft from me. Don’t argue, if you don’t change it, I can use the excuse that the evolution plug-in can support it, so I won’t change it.”

"Drag you backwards first. Don't get caught in the first wave of attacks. Wait until I come back." Amy almost jumped up from her seat, turned over and jumped over the console in front of Alex.

Then she opened the hatch and ran to the rear cabin. She brought her own exclusive space suit from the destroyer unit. Protection was secondary, but mainly because it was equipped with a system that could assist starship control and command.

While Amy was going back and forth, the battle situation suddenly changed. First, a special gravitational wave swept across the battlefield. The warp control system immediately alarmed and pushed back from the standby state. This gravitational wave comes from a type of gravitational wave commonly known as

The "War Shackles" device is specifically designed to destroy the conditions for starships to enter warp speed. Even approaching the speed of light will face major risks, so that no one can leave the battlefield at high speed.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides opened fire. One of the characteristics of the light speed energy weapon is that it is impossible to know that it is launched before it arrives. Only the continuous shield can respond. Alex, a bystander, also received the information

The impact could only propagate at the speed of light, and there was no way to respond in advance. When he saw the energy beam hitting the shield on the projection screen and both sides falling into a sea of ​​fireworks at the same time, the attack had actually been completed long ago.

After the raid, the hit rate of direct-fired energy weapons will drop significantly as the fleet maneuvers. At this time, both sides begin to launch various aircraft with autonomous maneuvering capabilities for close attacks. These are not missiles that explode once.

The finished model consumes too much in the space environment. If the hit rate cannot be guaranteed, it will be a huge burden on manufacturing, preservation and transportation. At present, the aircraft launched by both sides are mainly on the electronic warfare side, detecting and interfering with the other party's scanning equipment, affecting

The shield should preferably fly in against the direction of the thrust engine and destroy the power of the starship.

"Mutual sex..." Alex felt his scalp numb and restless when he looked at the battlefield from a distance. When the starship was designed, the shield must cover all directions, but it would be weakened in the direction of engine propulsion.

Minimize the impact of the shield on the flight system. Some starships that pursue maneuverability do not even allow the shield to cover the engine's output nozzle, and would rather expose flaws to pursue maximum propulsion efficiency. This gives the dogfighting aircraft the opportunity to attack weak points.

Chance.

As long as there is room for ordinary battleships, there will always be a few special close-in defense guns to protect the thrusters. However, not all the two sides participating in the war used battleships. Most of them were armed ships transformed from civilian ships. Characteristics of civilian ships.

In order to be stable, there are generally redundant and dispersed thrust engines, so it is difficult to use close-in defense cannons for targeted protection - even if you want to, there are not so many installation locations! Forcibly installing them, space and energy supply will also be a problem.

, it will also affect the effect of the weapon, and by the way, the mobility will be lost. When facing a salvo of energy weapons, mobility is the dodge rate. If it can be solved with thrust, don't leave it to the shield.

Shields are often hard to count on. At the moment of the war, two starships on both sides exploded. The out-of-control nuclear fusion engine turned into a shining little sun, and the particle thrusters erupted ruthlessly in all directions, destroying the entire star.

The ship exploded directly like a balloon filled with glittering fragments of confetti. There were very few flames and no sound, but the scene was not lacking in shock at all.

The fleets of both sides are expanding outward. After all, being dense means looking for a fight. The energy weapons of both sides are shooting probabilistically, guessing the opponent's next maneuver direction, and then attacking as early as possible. Since the distance between the two sides is more than twenty light seconds,

The position of the enemy ship that can be seen is all twenty seconds ago. It takes another twenty seconds for the energy weapon to fly over at the speed of light, so the delay of the strike is at least forty seconds. Except for the first wave of strikes, the hits of subsequent energy weapons

The rates are a bit appalling.

However, as the dogfighting aircraft approaches the enemy ship, the information delay will be reduced a lot. These aircraft are equipped with instant communication equipment that uses the principle of quantum entanglement to send back the actions of the enemy ship at the same time. Although the energy weapon strikes, it will still

It takes twenty seconds, but shortening the time by half means that the probability of hitting is increased by 8 times in space.

The battlefield is rapidly expanding, and the scope of the impact is also increasing. The two sides are firing real fire, and it seems that they are going to fight for life and death. At the same time that Amy returned to the bridge, an energy beam that broke away from the battlefield came from Liuma.

The number flew nearby and instantly illuminated half of the projection screen, slightly startling Alex.

"Sure enough, it was a bad battle." Amy's evaluation was still very straightforward: "This kind of shooting without the support of computing power is just trying your luck... Okay, you go change your space suit quickly, and then come back."

"Come back? Don't you need me to stand by at the mine cannon?"

"There is no need to go so early. I will tell you in advance if necessary. I will tell you about the situation on the battlefield here so that you can better understand the captain's responsibilities. Since you have chosen the captain's path, you must be energetic and calculating.

The integration of forces inevitably involves crisis management."

"Okay!" Alex agreed. He transferred the control of the bridge directly to his sister, then opened the sliding door on the wall behind him and took out the space suit directly from inside. His space suit was given by the Environmental Circulation System

, there are three sets here on the bridge.

Amy fixed herself on the seat, first ensuring that the inertial damping was in effect. Then, she patted the chest of the captain's space suit, and two observation eyes the size of ping pong balls rose from her shoulders. They were projected with red gratings.

He scanned the screen and then transmitted the battlefield information to Amy's brain-controlled body through the space suit.

"Actually, a better mode is to use the touch interface directly, allowing the system to communicate directly with the brain-controlled body, eliminating the need for display and translation. However, the battlefield situation is not bad this time. Using indirect scanning will help you understand." Amy

He touched the back of his head and said: "I will explain the operation to you. You have to look at all the battlefield information simultaneously and understand what I say. This is a test for you."
