Space dust with a diameter greater than 2.5 microns is already considered a "meteorite".
High-speed ships can use information flow radar to identify these "meteorites" in advance, and then turn slightly to avoid them.
If the flight speed of the ship has not approached the speed of light, it can also be destroyed in advance with energy cannons to carry out obstacle-breaking work.
But the faster the speed, the harder it is to turn. At the same time, the barrier-breaking performance of the energy cannon will drop significantly, because the energy cannon itself is a light-speed weapon.
If the meteorite distribution area is too large, and the coverage area is greater than the maximum turning radius of the ship in the state of infinitely approaching the speed of light, it will become very troublesome.
In the past many years, the Red Front Legion has already started the cleaning work of many passages, and now there is only a small gap in the last window area, and the final cleaning work will be completed simultaneously.
The strategic position of this shortest path is the most important, and it is the "main channel" mentioned by Ren Zhong, so it is also reasonable for the Administration and Logistics Department to send a giant transport ship from the center as a scientific research spacecraft.
At the end of other secondary alternative channels, there are also other scientific research ships going to do final cleaning.
No one knew that Ma Xiaoling's transport ship was not loaded with cleaning equipment such as micro-robots at all, but filled with tightly sealed large boxes with force field shielding functions.
……
In the office of the dean of the School of Biology of the Chifeng Academy of Sciences, the white-haired Werther Hatton was walking back and forth with great anxiety.
As the project leader for Space Dust Virus, he completed his work many years ago.
But out of responsibility for his own work, and out of his inner desire to make contributions, Vettel Hatton pays attention to things beyond his own authority.
He wanted to know how Ren Zhong planned to use these viruses, and tried to give suggestions.
But his suggestion fell into the sea, and he has not received a response until now.
Vettel Hatton's anxiety at this time is that because the space dust virus project is subject to the highest secrecy regulations, he cannot disclose related matters to other people.
Similarly, he was not qualified to find out the strategic plan related to it, so he simply fell into a frozen sleep at the beginning.
He just woke up recently, but he checked his personal assistant, and there was no new important information.Many years have passed, and Lord Marquis still hasn't summoned him.
Obviously, Lord Marquis has either forgotten about it, or he doesn't want to talk to him at all.
This has become the obsession and trouble in Vettel Hatton's heart, lingering in his mind and lingering, which only makes people miserable.
He even felt that Ren Zhong was deliberately "hiding" from himself because of this matter.
This is not normal.
Because Ren Zhong in the past is very approachable, the people below who want to find him, as long as the reason is not too ridiculous, usually will not be rejected.
This is obviously not normal now.
But Vettel Hatton finally found an opportunity to meet with Ren Zhong.
On this day, just as he was in the activated state, the routine genetic stability test of the biological planetary ship Shi Lin was handed over to him. He happened to see Ma Xiaoling off, and he stopped by to check the situation.
Regarding how to use the space dust virus accumulated through untold hardships, Vettel Hatton has two ideas.
Either distribute these viruses evenly outside the legion's garrison.The advantage of this is that no matter which direction the enemy appears from, they will be intercepted by the dust virus and will be obviously damaged.
However, the average plan also has shortcomings. According to the data simulation, if it spreads evenly, the concentration of the virus floating in space will be low, and it will be difficult to deal a fatal blow to the first-class empress and the starry space beasts with powerful physiological functions. The lethality is only about It can be equivalent to the degree of a severe cold in humans.
There is no way, this kind of strange life in half-energy state and half-material state is too difficult to manufacture. It can only be synthesized by biological means, and the output is very unstable. It cannot be mass-produced like chemicals.
With the current maximum productivity of the legion, it can only do so much.
If the stored virus is precisely placed in a small area, and the sublimator's expeditionary force hits head-on again, a large amount of dust virus can sneak into the body of the mother emperor ship and the starry sky behemoth at the same time, and then bloom in more spots, and quickly explode and multiply. There is a high chance of causing fatal damage to it.Even if it fails to kill in the end, if it is carried over, it can still be severely injured.
But the problem is that it is difficult to determine the precise direction of the Ascendant Expeditionary Army.
Vettel Hatton believes that if you choose the second option, the best layout area is right in front of the legion garrison, which is the only way for the army of sublimators to come straight.
Probabilistically speaking, this is the optimal solution.
"Is this what you think, Mr. Hatton?" Ren Zhong asked with a smile after listening to the other party's explanation in an absolutely safe space without eavesdropping.
Vettel: "Yes, Lord Marquis. We have paid a huge price for the synthesis of dust viruses, and we really cannot easily waste such a long-term inventory."
Ren Zhong shook his head, "According to the rules, since I have made it clear that I don't want to discuss this matter with you, you still keep thinking about it, and even ask me repeatedly, which has seriously violated the relevant provisions of the highest management code of the Red Front Army. But I I don't intend to hold you accountable, and likewise, I don't intend to let you know the truth. You just need to remember that you are a scientist, not a military strategist, and you have specialties in your field of study. Don't use your hobbies to challenge other people's majors. Even if you made it itself, your professional field is only in making it. As for how to use it and how to use it, it is someone else's business."
Vettel was stunned for a long time.
In fact, he also wanted to ask why he couldn't use the free jump method to directly drop it into the center of the formation of the Sublimator Expeditionary Army, just like the special operations team used to drop the gaseous planet when they killed the mother emperor ship named Obscure Gu Thorn.
But then he thought about it, maybe Ren Zhongben had such an arrangement, and he really shouldn't ask.
But this is because Vettel thought too much, and Ren Zhong didn't consider repeating the old tricks.
Ascendants have a very strong learning ability and will not fall into the same pit twice.
Even if the sublime has not yet mastered the free warping technology, he must have been able to recognize the changes in the information flow projected from the subspace into the three-dimensional universe. Within a certain range, he must be able to predict the ships of the Red Front Legion in advance The time and place of jumping out of the warp.
Therefore, the best way is to throw the virus progenitor into the universe, and wait for the other party to hit it by itself.
Ren Zhong knew that the Sublimator Expeditionary Army would definitely appear from the rear.
His basis is... foreknowledge.
Chapter 646 Suspicion Chain and Optimal Solution, Baihuang and Shilin
Twenty war empresses, two planetary-level omnics, and two planetary-level psychic descendants.
A total of 24 powerful individuals from three different human branches are gathering together in the information flow network to discuss an important matter.
What they discussed was the next plan of attack.
If this is a pure army, composed of only one side, there will be no such situation that requires discussion to make a decision.
Whether it is the ascendant or the other two parties, each has its own absolute power system, only the high-ranking person needs to make a decision, and the lower-ranking person can only strictly implement it, without discussion.
But after the tripartite alliance, there are bound to be some differences and disputes.
For example, at this time, the mind demon's thoughts are to ignore everything, and just charge straight towards the Red Front Legion's garrison.
Mind Demons believe that for this kind of unscrupulous enemy who can come and go freely, fight if he can beat it, and run away if he can't beat it, the more fancy the moves, the easier it will be cracked and targeted.
So the best plan is actually no plan, just keep rushing and it's over.
Maybe the Red Front Legion will run away, but there is no other way, they have to admit defeat.
But if the Scarlet Front Legion stays to fight, they have a chance to crush them.
But wise men from the Pilgrim faction have a different opinion.
After a comprehensive calculation, the wise men believed that the Red Front Army should also be ready to run away, but they didn't plan to run away without a fight. Instead, they were going to try to fight like they did in the Seventh Star Cluster to see if they could Get some benefits, and then make a decision according to the changing situation.
Therefore, the wise men proposed that they are willing to contribute a new type of stealth technology to help the expeditionary force disperse quietly, approach slowly from all directions, and then act suddenly to completely surround the Red Front Army's garrison.
The wise man analyzed the free jumping technique of the Red Front Legion, and found the flaw of this seemingly invincible technique, which is the acceleration period.
Planetary ships and fortress ships with huge size and mass must go through relatively long and continuous acceleration if they want to enter the warp space.This acceleration mileage will take at least ten light years.
Then, if the encirclement can be secretly reduced to a spherical shape with a radius less than ten light-years, there is a chance to intercept the Red Front Legion before all members of the Red Front Legion jump into the subspace. At least it can also cause serious damage to it.
It has to be said that Pilgrim got the point.This is indeed a feasible solution in a sense.
The only loophole in this plan is that the wise men miscalculated the technological advancement speed of the Red Front Legion.
When the original starship spent hundreds of years to accelerate, the acceleration distance was as long as more than fifty light years.
When the Red Front Legion left the Seventh Star Cluster, the acceleration distance was shortened to fifteen light-years with the advancement of technology.
The acceleration distance considered by the wise men is ten light-years, which can already be called "conservative". They overestimated the scientific research strength of the Red Front Legion, but in fact they still underestimated it, and it only takes three light-years.
Of course, to realize the wise man's plan, a sufficiently large "army" must be left on the original route of travel as a bait for a frontal assault, and the mother imperial ship must be sacrificed to consume the energy and supplies accumulated in the "hump" , to create a sufficient number of huge but hollow guises as "fake soldiers".
However, the wise man's plan was jointly opposed by the mother imperial ship.On the one hand, these selfish long-lived beings are reluctant to part with the savings they have accumulated through untold hardships. On the other hand, if the Chifeng Army cannot be wiped out, it will only cause certain casualties to them. Meaning, it will kill Hundred Emperors instead.
In the process of breaking out of the Red Front Legion, one's own side will inevitably suffer heavy losses due to the weak forces in the area.
Ascendants have dealt with the Red Front Legion the most times, and they are deeply impressed by the cunning and strength of this enemy.
According to the information provided by Baihuang, the Red Front Legion really has no intention of fleeing, and is still building a huge project on the spot. It seems that they intend to stay and do a battle with the expeditionary army, which is a bit like waiting for rabbits.
Therefore, it is either just to pretend to scare away the Red Front Army, or to create a fighter capable of wiping out the enemy.
So the idea of the sublime is more interesting, born out of the wise man's proposal, but it has more reference value.
The sublimator decided to leave only one mother ship and continue to advance in a straight line.
The task of this mother ship is to use up all the energy and materials in the "hump", and then create an extremely large number of "fake soldiers".
The shape and scale of these "fake soldiers" refer to the other nineteen royal ships, one hundred starry sky behemoths, two omnics, and many vassal troops.
At that time, the mother imperial ship will stop in place when it is five light-years away from the Red Front Legion, and confront it, neither actively attacking nor withdrawing.
As for the real heavy soldiers, with the blessing of the pilgrim's invisibility technology, they will spend 30 years quietly touching the rear of the Red Front Army's garrison, and keep getting closer secretly.
When the distance between the large army and the Red Front Legion's garrison was shortened to within two light years, they spread out quietly, turning into an invisible net to envelop the entire Red Front Legion garrison.
At the same time, the Empress who was in charge of luring the enemy from the front moved forward slowly, and finally formed a closed pocket formation with the large army, firmly locked the Red Front Army in it, and then encircled and wiped it out as a matter of course.
As long as there is a tendency to encircle and suppress, even if he has no choice but to take Chi Feng Hou Renzhong's terrifying true free jump warship, he still has to slip away, but at least his wings can be cut off, and this can also be interrupted. The trend of cancerous tumors continuing to grow in one's own territory, at least to say, can regain the stability of thousands of years.
Or, when this guy is hurt, it will naturally make him put away his contempt, and then it will be the time for Baihuang to perform, to really instigate this strange native human who has no loyalty to the mechanical empire.
It is conceivable that if Marquis Chifeng can really be drawn into the alliance, then the difficulty of destroying the Machine Empire will decrease exponentially, and the end of the Four Kingdoms Era in the Gupan galaxy will be greatly accelerated.
And if Marquis Chifeng is only a polished commander, he can be easily controlled.
In short, the whole set of tactics that the intelligent beings in the sublimation came up with can be described as extremely cunning and treacherous. Relying on their own technical advantages, as well as the technical deduction of the enemy, as well as the ability to cover up intelligence, they were born in the absence of terrain. In the case of interfering factors such as climate, weather, etc., an ambush war was planned that would be effective once it was fought.
Of course, this tactic also has chance.The premise of everything is that the Red Front Legion will not flee, and the mother imperial ship that confuses the enemy must be strong enough to prevent being easily seen through, and the Red Front Legion must not be as reckless as it was in the Seventh Star Cluster. The main force must press in and rush out to touch the frontal "big army".
In that case, everything will be revealed.
The most important thing is that there must be a hapless mother-in-law who can do the job, but can't refuse the most dangerous "fake soldier" status.
This unlucky guy is none other than the double-eyed beast.Whoever made it rough and fleshy, the most able to carry it, and has the guilt, must make up for it.
Only this kind of tactic can save the Hundred Emperors who are in deep siege.
The double-eyed beast has to admit it.
……
Ren Zhong didn't know the decision-making process of the expeditionary force, but he knew the result.
He didn't want to admit one thing, but it was the truth.
As he acquires the ability to predict, the connection between his thinking and the flow of information in the universe becomes deeper and deeper, and his ability to see through the logical dynamics of everything in the universe becomes more and more powerful. powerful.
A large number of detection devices ambushed along the way have provided him with enough detailed information.
Between the lines of the communication between Baihuang and um, eh, eh, too much information related to sublimators was leaked.
Ren Zhong could easily see through the movements of this expeditionary force dominated by the sublimated ones.
Wise men and god-level devils are variables, but the weight of these variables is not enough to change the ending.
Regardless of how the Joint Expeditionary Force plans the chain of suspicion and how to find the optimal solution, the final result must come from behind, and the Joint Expeditionary Force will definitely crash into the dust virus trap head-on.
This is an inevitability of cosmic logic and technology orientation, just like magnets must attract opposites and repel likes, which cannot be violated, and there is no second possibility.
However, if Ren Zhong wants to further expand the results of the battle, there is still one last piece of the puzzle.
This puzzle piece is not in his hands, nor in Yang Misi's hands, but in the hands of Baihuang and Shi Lin.
But it is impossible for him to ask Baihuang for it.
Although this guy has been living, he is actually very "fragile" and is still on the dividing line between self-destruction and living.
If Ren Zhong took the initiative to try to get more secrets of the sublimator from it, and took action, even if it was just a small move, it would immediately become the last straw that broke the camel's back.
It depends on Baihuang's own understanding, and it also depends on whether Baihuang has any kind of friendship with Shi Lin.In short, Baihuang took the initiative to send it off.
……
"I am a dignified mother ship, and I demand more freedom. You have broken your promise, and I am unable to move here."
On this day, Baihuang protested through the communication channel that Ren Zhong opened up for it alone.
A tedious day with a lot of work finally ushered in a little fun.
He secretly smiled in his heart, feeling a sense of pleasure that the plot had succeeded.
If Baihuang keeps holding back, then he has nothing to do.
But once Baihuang speaks, it means that it has a plan, and its plan is exactly what Ren Zhong wants it to do.
