Chapter 868 Supporting Fleet G
"What's the situation?" Yang Hui received the news and immediately convened a general meeting to summon all senior generals of the Promise Corps. Howard Glass also brought senior political circles to attend the meeting.
The topic was naturally the G Fleet's request for help. Because of the barrier of the FOLD fault, the communication between the 25th Fleet and the G Fleet was not real-time, but delayed by five days.
"It's not optimistic." Howard Glass shook his head, "This is the G Fleet's distress communication, take a look."
Yang Hui walked into the conference room and sat down. The lights dimmed and the screen began to play the G Fleet's distress communication.
"Help! Help! Those bugs have occupied the Main Island! Please! Ah~..."
It was a very short communication, with a dim red light as the background. Behind the person who sent the communication was a mess. Broken pipes could be seen hanging randomly without anyone managing them. Behind them, there were wounded people lying on the ground or walking slowly with each other. The video was shaking a lot, and the picture was not very clear. There was also a sound of constant impact on the battleship armor, and then... it ended.
From the last picture, it can be seen that the communication was suddenly interrupted. It should be that Vajra broke through the armor of the battleship and directly attacked the bridge. The person who appeared in the video... should also be in danger.
"...Is this the communication from five days ago?" Yang Hui frowned and asked Howard Glass.
"Yes, although the G fleet is not far from the 25 fleet, all communications are blocked due to the existence of the FOLD fault. If it weren't for Captain William's desperate breakout to the 25 fleet for help, we might not know that the G fleet was attacked by Vajra." Howard Glass said.
Yang Hui has also studied the communication methods of this world, and all of them use FOLD technology for long-distance communication.
Hyperspace resonance crystals, also known as FOLD crystals, vibrate at a specific wavelength to cause space resonance, thereby making next-generation communication and hyperspace navigation possible. Crystals increase the Fold communication capacity by more than 10 times.
This technology itself is very advanced and can achieve real-time communication tens of light years away. Even the most advanced quantum communication equipment in Promise Fortress has a maximum real-time communication range of less than one light year.
But this technology has a fatal flaw, that is, encountering the FOLD fault, which is an environment that is likely to be encountered in the universe. Once the FOLD fault is encountered, not only will the communication be blocked, but even the FOLD jump cannot be carried out. The only way is to find a way to bypass the FOLD fault.
This is why Captain William of the G fleet only successfully arrived at the 25th fleet five days after the breakout.
Of course, it is not that there is no way to solve it if it is just communication, but it is very troublesome. It is necessary to arrange Relay Pod, that is, relay communication relay device, at the FOLD fault in advance to avoid communication delays caused by the Fold fault, but that is a device that will only be used when necessary, and it will not be arranged in advance in general.
"It's difficult."
"Yes, in five days, they should have..."
Everyone present knew that five days was enough for Vajra's army to completely destroy the G fleet. Even if they went to rescue, they would probably only find floating wreckage and corpses.
"How is Captain William?" Yang Hui asked.
"He is not in danger of death. He is just weak and dehydrated after a long flight and lack of water and food. He will recover after a rest." Howard Glass said.
"Is he in a coma now?"
"Yes."
"Did he reveal the details of the G fleet before he fell into a coma?"
"No, he was already in a coma when he was taken back to the 25th fleet."
"Well..." Yang Hui thought for a moment and decided directly, "All troops are ready for battle. Rebil, Fleet, Gerhard, and Char, you will set off immediately as the vanguard, deploy Relay Pods along the way, keep communication open, and the rest of you will return to your respective posts immediately to prepare for the expedition!"
"Yang Hui, is it really necessary?" Howard Glass wanted to object. After all, five days have passed, and the G fleet is likely to have been destroyed. He has experienced the strength of Vajra. It was just a very small-scale attack that almost caused huge losses to the 25th fleet.
The G fleet was attacked by a large army. Even if the technical level of the G fleet was not comparable to that of the 25 fleets, he did not think that the G fleet could survive in front of such a dominant race. The human race was still too young.
Moreover, even if the G fleet was still holding on, they would not necessarily be able to help the G fleet repel the attack of Vajra, and they might even get themselves involved.
"We must go." Yang Hui said firmly, "The G fleet is also a part of the human race. If humans cannot unite in the universe, how can we meet greater challenges? So even if there is a very slim hope, we must go to rescue."
"... I understand. I will be responsible for notifying the citizens, and the fleet's expedition will be left to you." Howard Glass agreed with Yang Hui's statement and agreed that the fleet should go out to rescue the G fleet.
Now, Howard Glass and the senior officials in the political circle can leave. They only need to know the big decision of the fleet's direction, and then they can deal with the part of the work they are responsible for.
At the same time, all the members of the four fleets of Rebil, Flit, Gerhard and Char also left. During this period, their fleets were on duty and were always ready for level 3 combat, so they could attack immediately without any other cumbersome procedures.
The rest of the people were other fleet members who took turns to rest.
"Are we going to face Vajra's army now? Is it too early?" Kati was a little worried. Having experienced the ELS war, she knew very well how small and powerless the young human race was in front of the universe's dominant race.
"This step will always come. After the fleet is fully upgraded, we will not only have the choice of shrinking our defense when facing Vajra." Yang Hui said to everyone.
"Will the G fleet really be destroyed so easily? Is it their conspiracy?" Malu asked.
Everyone who knew the true thoughts of the crazy people in the G fleet couldn't help but think of this question.
"It is very likely that they took advantage of the opportunity of being destroyed by the Vajra attack to hide in the darkness. I even suspect that they have made some progress in the research of FOLD waves and singing. This attack was deliberately intended to attract Vajra, or... a play they wrote, directed and performed by themselves." Yang Hui speculated that in the original plot, the 25th fleet arrived at the place where the G fleet was attacked, but did not find the G fleet's flagship Macross Galaxy, and even did not find the wreckage. It disappeared directly.
It suddenly appeared in the last battle, and it was in good condition. It was obvious that it had not experienced serious damage, or it was completely repaired, so Yang Hui made such a speculation.
"So we must go this time. If we are lucky, we may be able to catch them before they hide!"
