While making the final preparations before deployment, already clad in armor and standing in the boarding shuttle ship’s cockpit, Hou Sheng said, "After all, Source Star’s foundation is still shallow, I suppose they didn’t have time to update their systems and are still using outdated radar technology from the colony, it’s no wonder they’re blind."
"He deserves his misfortune," Wu Moyou chuckled repeatedly, "If I were him, I would rather give up on South Nine C, and just float steadily in space. Once approved, holding dozens of star systems, even being a carefree lord is much better than now."
While the three Storm commanders were leisurely criticizing Ren Zhong’s "foolishness," the Source Star commercial fleet on the other side was making intense preparations.
The long-range missile operations department started the countdown.
"The information flow reflectance is about to exceed the enemy’s conventional radar baseline. Twenty, nineteen... ten, nine, eight... three, two, one..."
Suddenly, alarms blared within the Storm Assault Fleet.
The radar operator almost thought he was seeing things.
Just a second ago, his screen was empty.
The next moment, densely packed light spots suddenly appeared on the radar scan.
These light spots were traveling at 0.28 times the speed of light and were about to reach the Assault Fleet in ten minutes.
As time passed, the number of light spots increased.
After five seconds, the increase finally stopped at exactly eight thousand.
According to calculations from the trajectory tracking AI, the movement trajectory of these eight thousand light spots seemed uniformly aligned, but actually hid a pattern. They were approaching a thousand assault ships in groups of eight and would arrive almost simultaneously. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The automatic calculation info group immediately uploaded the intelligence to Wu Moyou.
Just a moment ago, Wu Moyou was full of confidence, but now his face turned pale.
At the same time, he received more bad news.
The intelligence department, fully responsible for tracking enemy movements, suddenly informed him that Source Star’s fleet had vanished without a trace, which was completely illogical.
There was only one explanation, that Source Star had mastered ship invisibility technology far superior to the Storm Pirate Group.
"All fleets, release anti-missile decoy missiles! Quickly charge the anti-missile beam cannon! Fire the anti-missile barrage cannon!" Kali Claudie urgently commanded while turning to Wu Moyou and nervously asked, "What’s happening?"
Wu Moyou shook his head repeatedly, "I don’t know, I’m not sure. Since Source Star has such invisibility technology, then their reconnaissance radar technology shouldn’t be that far behind. We might have been under their surveillance all along."
Having already activated the boarding shuttle ship and separated from the Assault Ship, Hou Sheng puzzledly asked, "Then why aren’t they fleeing? Instead, they’re charging straight at us?"
Kali Claudie and Wu Moyou exchanged a glance, reading unexplainable fear in each other’s eyes.
In that instant, the roles of hunter and prey reversed.
Meanwhile, Zheng Tian had already begun issuing orders, instructing the entire fleet to release blast interference devices to completely cut off the opponent’s information flow communications, suppress the enemy ship’s AI computation power, while switching to radio communications and silicon chip AI on their side.
Seven seconds later, the combat command system displayed that this series of orders had been fully executed.
Zheng Tian ordered again, "Full assault, speed up!"
The two thousand modified armed battleships, which had been operating with 50% payload for eight years, finally fully ignited their medium thrust engines and gravity engines, entering augmented state and running at full capacity.
The armed battleships began accelerating from 0.15 times the speed of light, heading straight for the Storm Assault Fleet.
The shuttle ships led by Ren Zhong and Ma Xiaoling had quietly approached the Assault Fleet for an ambush, close enough to be visible without optical equipment, forming a spoon-shaped battle formation.
The originally orderly fleet formation suddenly became chaotic.
One after another, barrage cannon shells were fired out, forming a covering barrage in front of the fleet formation.
One after another, small missiles with large reflective areas, trailing conspicuous flames and continuously emitting interference information flow, were launched, breaking through the barrage clouds and electrically shooting towards the QS-22 missile direction.
Afterwards, the sides of the bottle-shaped assault ships began sequentially ejecting medium, and the ships began to turn while still moving forward with inertia.
The Storm Assault Fleet did not seem to intend to engage the mysterious missiles head-on, trying to retreat and sneak away.
Behind these bottle-shaped Assault Ships, huge force field shields were resolutely deployed. freewebnøvel.com
Within the encrypted radio communication channel, Ma Xiaoling worriedly said, "Won’t our missiles be blocked by these interception systems?"
Ren Zhong smiled and shook his head, "Impossible. The QS-22 missiles have completely locked onto the enemy ships, even without information flow scanning guidance, solely relying on inertial guidance, the hit rate is over eighty percent. Besides, we’ve also equipped radio radar, this technology may be primitive, but they seem to lack radio interference systems, leaving them firmly locked onto. As for these intercept missiles, they’re just flashy but useless trinkets. The terminal attack speed of the QS-22 is 0.31 times the speed of light, far faster than the intercept missiles. As long as their beam cannons can’t charge in time, they will undoubtedly hit."
Before Ren Zhong’s words finished, a dense meteor shower appeared from the horizon.
The QS-22 missile group crossed a vast distance in a very short time, guided by the kinetic energy section at the front, they fiercely broke through force field shields one after another, slamming into one assault ship after another.
In the blink of an eye, at least six thousand of the eight thousand QS-22 missiles accurately hit, brutally piercing many assault ships. On average, each assault ship took at least two direct hits.
However, these missiles did not detonate immediately. The detonation of the missiles was up to Ren Zhong and others lurking nearby.
