Chapter 374: Division Tactics
Time flies. When the main bodies of human civilization and Nair civilization set out on their journey again with the help of the red dwarf star, the atmosphere of war has also been pulled to the extreme.
Those who stayed behind knew that the artificial intelligence fleet was coming.
A large number of probes were sent to the starry sky by the coalition headquarters to detect the direction of the artificial intelligence fleet, and try to detect its existence before the fleet slows down.
At this moment, the six fleets of the coalition also gathered near the orbit of the second planet and waited quietly.
One day, two days, three days.
While waiting, suddenly a message came back from the sent probe.
As the headquarters of the entire coalition fleet, the Tianqin naturally received the information at the first time.
"Marshal Yue, the artificial intelligence fleet has been discovered. Our 7th probe team and the 15th probe team have been sunk by them! The fleet is 177 astronomical units away. According to the probe data, the other party has no signs of entering a deceleration state. At this moment, it is rapidly advancing into the binary star system at 30% of the speed of light!"
The information was immediately interpreted and then echoed in the Tianqin command center.
177 AU away, if the fleet does not slow down, it will arrive at the location of the coalition fleet in 81 hours.
It seems that this artificial intelligence consciousness is still as crazy as before, and it probably intends to get closer and slow down.
At this distance, it should have observed the existence of planets here on the red dwarf. Sure enough, after a while, the staff member who just broadcast the news spoke here.
"Report! According to the 13th exploration team, the enemy fleet has slightly adjusted its course and is currently heading towards us. Based on its maneuvering situation, experts estimate that the artificial intelligence consciousness should have discovered our planet."
Yue Yuan did not speak just now, but after hearing this, he spoke.
"Okay! Order the Fifth Fleet, the Sixth Fleet, and the Fourth Fleet to prepare. I want them to enter the accelerated state in 24 hours, and accelerate the target to 1% of the speed of light. The route coordinate formula is ㏒"
The so-called route coordinate formula is a dotted line on the star map. As the order says, let these three fleets go out along a route.
From the star map, the three fleets are mutually supporting, and the connecting line is in a triangle, but it is not a straight line, but a curved line that expands as it goes further.
The purpose of Yue Yuan's move is to use the fleet's tail flame to tell the artificial intelligence consciousness: We are here!
From the previous rear-end arrangements, Yue Yuan has roughly understood the nature of this artificial intelligence consciousness, that is, recklessness. Relying on its absolute advantage in warships, it does not take the Nair civilization seriously at all.
Therefore, as long as it finds the Nair civilization fleet here, it will most likely come over with the same momentum as before.
Sure enough, not long after the three fleets began to accelerate the next day, the few surviving probes that were not blown up found that the artificial intelligence fleet adjusted its posture again, spread out its entire fleet, and then covered the three fleets that were accelerating.
"Tell the fourth, fifth, and sixth fleets to follow the plan and not to fight." After seeing the three fleets accelerate, Yue Yuan gave another explanation.
At the same time, he also notified Manyuemei and the Governor General of the Nair people, asking them to start moving according to the battle plan.
The coalition fleet and the artificial intelligence consciousness fleet have not really met so soon, but the coalition obviously cannot wait in place for the other side to kill, so the fleet must move before they really come into contact.
The tactics of the coalition headquarters are very simple, that is, let the fourth fleet, the fifth fleet, and the sixth fleet, each of the three fleets, launch the first round of attack from the outer edge of the artificial intelligence fleet.
Just like peeling a watermelon, attack from the three outer edge points, and then quickly attack from each outer edge, pull away, and then make a circle to the rear of the artificial intelligence fleet.
While the three fleets are carrying out the first round of attack, Yue Yuan's first fleet, Manyuemei's second fleet, and the third fleet of the Governor General of the Nair people will also carry out the second round of attack at that time.
Like the first attack, it is also a touch and go, but the route after leaving the battle is different from the first three fleets.
Coming out from the outer edge of the AI fleet, the first, second, and third fleets will turn in space and then turn back to the orbit of the second planet.
At this time, the fourth, fifth, and sixth fleets will once again use the same tactics to raid the AI fleet from the rear.
The Allied Command calls this stage of tactics the split harassment tactics, which takes advantage of the fact that the AI fleet cannot be separated too much, harassing it so that it cannot play the advantages of a large fleet.
For a period of time thereafter, the Allied Command will use this tactic until the second planet is lost.
At that moment, Yue Yuan's first fleet and Manyuemei's second fleet will head to the second battlefield, and at the same time, the other Nair fleets will also make a desperate attempt to block the pursuers and desperately cover the evacuation of the two fleets.
In this way, the AI fleet will be lured to chase the second battlefield.
It is precisely because of this plan that in the first stage, the two human fleets will not try their best to avoid being discovered by the AI consciousness that the two human fleets are much stronger than the Nair civilization fleet.
As time passes, the distance between the two sides is also rapidly narrowing.
At this moment, a voice sounded again in the Tianqin command center, "General Yue, the AI fleet is slowing down."
Hearing this, Yue Yuan turned his head to look at the large screen displaying synchronized information, and saw that on the large screen, the posture of 50,000 warships changed almost in just a few seconds.
They turned their bows at the same time, opened the lateral steering thrusters at the same time, and pointed the stern main thrusters in the same direction, and burst out long flames at the same time, just like a well-trained army.
At this point in time, the unmanned probe team sent out before had basically been killed by the small spacecraft dispatched by the AI fleet, so this angle was obviously taken by the telescope of this fleet.
50,000 flames erupted almost at the same time, and the photons in the entire space suddenly increased a lot. The scattered photons crossed the distance of several astronomical units and came to the receiving equipment of the coalition warships, which made the appearance of the entire fleet brighter.
The commanders in each warship also saw a vast expanse of white from their respective bridge screens.
To be honest, looking at the AI fleet from this angle really has a sense of grandeur.
The coalition command knew that this time the artificial intelligence fleet's deceleration would not reduce its speed to a very low level, because they did not take the coalition fleet seriously at all. It did so only to prepare for arriving at the second planet in the near future.
