Chapter 480: War Restarts
The fleet directly passed the destroyed sixth planet base and rushed towards the second planet base in a step-by-step manner.
The second planet base of the interstellar trading market is now located at a 97-degree angle with the main sequence star and the sixth planet base. Therefore, the course of the first fleet of mankind is not directly towards the main sequence star, but draws an arc route in space like the orbit of a planet.
The relative position of the planet changes with time. If it is a few years later, the second planet base will go around the back of the star. Of course, the so-called back refers to the thirteenth planet where humans are located.
"Marshal Yue, the number of reinforcement fleets of the interstellar trading market has been found. The number is about 3 million. It is currently accelerating from the back of the yellow dwarf to its second planet base. Counting the number of fleets stationed at its second planet base, the number of enemy battleships in this battle is at least 14 million." During the voyage, the personnel in charge of the probe discovered a new situation.
Humans do not know that the interstellar trading market is the Chiyan civilization, so in daily addressing the enemy, they still call it the interstellar trading market.
"Well, six million to fourteen million, the advantage is mine." He had not really entered the battle state yet, so at this moment, Yue Yuan looked at the star map information on the big screen with his hands behind his back. After a pause, he asked: "Have you checked the satellites of the gas planet in the orbit of the seventh planet?"
"We have checked it. There are no hidden fleets or resource development bases. There are some enemy detection ships, but they have all been cleared by our detection ships." A person in charge of intelligence answered.
After the planetary bases that humans have attacked, they will not ignore them anymore, but will continue to send out detection ships. Once they find that those planetary bases have signs of enemy re-development, they will trigger the battleship squadron to continue bombing them, or directly attack and destroy them on the resource transportation route.
The purpose is obvious, which is to compress the opponent's resource mining area as much as possible.
"Report! Another large enemy fleet was found at the position of 0125, **26**, z5687. Judging from its scale, there are at least nine million battleships. Judging from its course, if it does not turn around, the target should be our rear area." At this time, the person in charge of the detector just now spoke again.
At the same time, the large screen in front of Yue Yuan also refreshed the star map. In the star map, he could clearly see the location of the new fleet.
At this moment, the star map shows that the thirteenth planet where humans are located and the twelfth planet are on the same side of the star, while the planets on the tenth, ninth, and sixth orbits are on the right side of the star facing humans.
The left and right here are determined by the left-hand rule. The direction of the planet's rotation is the same as the four fingers on the left hand, which is clockwise, and the direction of the thumb is the direction of the main sequence star's north pole.
The universe is not divided into up and down, front and back, but left and right.
The second planetary base of the Chiyan civilization is on the sixth orbital planet. The first, second, and third orbital planets are now on the back of the star, and the fleet that appears in the report now comes out from the left side of the star.
Although the direction of this fleet is the rear of mankind, it cannot be ruled out that it is coming to attack the first fleet of mankind.
Seeing this situation, Yue Yuan immediately asked the communicator to notify the thirteenth planetary base and let the second fleet be ready to attack at any time.
In these years, humans have not only completed the maintenance and repair of the fleet, but also added about one million warships. In addition to the six million ships brought by the First Fleet, there are still 3.18 million ships at the base. In addition, there are three flagships equipped with strong artificial intelligence at the base, namely the Deep Sea, the Vast Sea and the South Sea. It should not be a problem to resist a fleet three times larger than their own.
Yue Yuan was not worried.
"Keep moving forward. How much time do we have to engage the enemy?"
"50 minutes, Commander Yue."
"Yes"
Yue Yuan nodded, turned back to his seat, and prepared to enter the battle state. He understood that judging from the defensive strength of the opponent's second planetary base, the Interstellar Trading Market did have some strengths to show in that battle.
You must know that after the first war, the number of warships that retreated from the Interstellar Trading Market was about 11.33 million, and now there are more than 23 million warships. In just a few years, humans have only built one million new warships. Even if the Interstellar Trading Market has more resources, it only has three warship manufacturing bases. It is impossible to produce ten times more warships than humans in a short period of time.
If so, humans will definitely not be able to outstrip the opponent in this war.
But Yue Yuan also had a question in his mind. Since there were so many resources, why didn't they attack humans with all their strength? You know, if there were another 10 million warships at that time, it would be hard to say whether humans could hold on.
"I guess they are also worried about whether humans have other fleets to attack their core areas," Yue Yuanxin said.
When humans came to this star field and announced the war against the interstellar trading market, they showed that they were well prepared and had sufficient excuses. This inevitably made the interstellar trading market think that humans were well prepared, and it was reasonable to put a large fleet in the core area for defense.
But they may not know that it was this decision that made them miss the opportunity to defeat humans in one fell swoop.
If they missed this opportunity, the situation would be reversed.
Just like now, they have fallen into a passive position. Or in other words, since the end of the first battle, they have gradually turned from active to passive. Of course, that was just a turning point. The transfer of initiative was actually formed gradually during the competition between the two sides between the small fleets and the exploration spacecraft.
And after the sixth planet base was completely destroyed by humans in orbital bombing, the roles of offense and defense really changed.
"Marshal Yue, the enemy fleet is coming!"
A report shouted the prelude to this battle.
"Okay, keep the spherical formation unchanged for the time being, tell the East Sea and the West Sea to proceed according to the plan." Yue Yuan responded, and at the same time, he turned around and sat down, raised his hand to press the physical silence on the seat handle, and the brain also issued a command to the chip to enter the combat state.
The same is true for other personnel.
Then a familiar scene was staged in the Tianqin command center. The positions of the personnel were quickly wrapped by a one-way transparent cover, and then various mechanical arms, life support equipment, buffer auxiliary facilities, etc. were extended from the ground to fix the personnel one by one.
