Chapter 1374 Dense Fire Network

The lieutenant general explained away the suspicion of attacking his own prisoners of war.

But the major general hesitated for a moment and sighed helplessly - this explanation was a bit forced after all.

The lieutenant general looked at him and said calmly, "The operations department specifically emphasized that the opponent's strength is amazing!"

"Although I'm not sure how strong they are...the Operations Department didn't say anything."

"But for such a powerful team to allow them to escape unscathed would be irresponsible to the Federation."

"To put it more seriously, the Operations Department will investigate in the future and I may be suspected of dereliction of duty or even delaying military flights."

"Speaking more broadly, once they return to the other side, the Federation will face a huge threat!"

"Don't forget, the other party has our regiment-level ship, which involves the leakage of federal technology."

Having said so much, he has indeed found enough reasons for himself.

But then again, if he thinks his behavior is natural and justified, why does he need to explain so much?

After all, it does take a certain amount of courage to fire at one's own soldiers.

At the same time, Qu Jianlei and others suddenly discovered that there were many colorful lights in front of them.

"Artillery blockade," the fourth master immediately made a judgment, and understood the other party's intention, "it's not too stupid!"

In fact, when everyone took these more than 400 officers and soldiers as hostages, they were not sure about the federal reaction.

The social atmosphere of the Federation is not as iron-blooded as that of the Empire. However, that is due to the system, and the same cannot be said for the army.

Qu Jianlei believes that different armies have different characteristics, and both the Fourth Master and Xiao Moshan agree with this.

So they really didn't expect the federal military to be afraid of the hostages.

However, after communicating with the opposite military throughout the whole process, I feel that the effect is pretty good, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

Qu Jianlei is really not surprised that there is artillery fire blocking the front. This is already very gentle, right?

Generally speaking, intercepted artillery fire poses a greater threat.

There are barrages and the like, like a big net or even a city wall, blocking the way.

As for the artillery fire pursuing from behind, the escapees can choose the direction of maneuver and increase their speed while returning fire, which poses less of a threat.

But Qu Jianlei had communicated with Xiaohu before, and now he was confirming, "Are there any questions?"

The big-headed butterfly turned twice, "Don't worry, without this kind of self-confidence, what kind of independent personality do you still pursue?"

Qu Jianlei turned his head to look at Hill and shook his head slightly, "Old Xiao, please take him back... The Federation has given up on them."

Hill had been in a daze, but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he answered simply, "No, the Federation will not abandon anyone."

"They just did what they were supposed to do, to prevent you from returning!"

He was another sentimental guy. Qu Jianlei shook his head and didn't bother to say more to this guy.

"Take it down, we're going to start sprinting."

During the sprint, a series of Xiaohu's abilities would be exposed, and he didn't want this guy from the federation to know.

Xiao Moshan also knew what was about to happen, and the artillery blockade was not static.

When the firewall is completed, it will slowly advance towards your own side, which is the "barrage advancing slowly".

The wall of fire approaches step by step and can force the starship back bit by bit.

So the most important thing right now is time!

He grabbed Hill's collar and dragged him out of the room, "Be honest, if you want to die, we still have to go back to the empire."

Although the two have a good relationship, they are just like-minded. Since their respective camps are different, he can still keep public and private affairs separate.

Hill didn't struggle. His cultivation was forbidden and he couldn't struggle against the opponent at all, but he shouted.

"Boss, can I have a chat with you?"

"Talk to me?" Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, "What status do you have that qualifies you to talk to me?"

"I know a lot of top-secret federal information," Hill shouted outside the room.

"Be honest with me," Xiao Moshan raised his hand and flicked the other person's forehead.

"Don't I know your character? Don't play tricks."

"I'm not playing tricks," Hill was still shouting, "I can still share information that will help humans resist the star beasts!"

"Huh?" Qu Jianlei exclaimed. In his plan, after returning to the empire, these prisoners will be handed over to the military.

Then it would be good to get some information from the other party before handing over.

"Old Xiao, take him away first. I'll go over and take a look later."

He still has to stay in the control room and break through the fire wall with Xiaohu.

If you want to destroy the wall of fire, you must not only hold up the protective cover and avoid the artillery fire as much as possible, but also destroy the fire launch point.

The firepower that can implement blockade at the front is basically the front firepower point.

Because we are so close to the passage, the fire points and fire platforms are unmanned.

This measure is not surprising. Just like in a battle on Blue Star, there must be minefields in the forward positions of the two opposing sides.

This is a means to prevent the enemy from advancing, but space mines are not very effective, so a large number of unmanned firepower points are installed.

The key is that these firepower points are all remote-controlled, and some also have their own smart programs.

The stealth performance of the firepower points is good, but once the warship actively detects it, except for a few special types, it is basically impossible to hide it.

The troublesome thing is that these firepower points have very strong defenses.

But for Xiaohu, this is not a big deal. As long as there is a control system, it can find a way to deal with it.

However, there are quite a lot of these firepower points and firepower platforms, and it would be very difficult to remove them one by one.

Because they are frequently affected by energy turbulence, these weapon systems do not reserve a lot of energy blocks and ammunition.

This is a bit close to a disposable weapon, and you don't feel bad if it is damaged.

However, even so, the firepower points deployed here still take into account the influence of energy turbulence and electromagnetic rays.

This is caused by the development of science and technology, and it is also the reason why wars cost money.

Because of this, it is not easy to hack into these systems.

Many control systems are very simple - on the battlefield, durability is the best choice.

However, for Xiaohu, the simpler the system, the more difficult it is to invade.

There are also some weapons that use intelligent programs and are very tightly packaged, making them very difficult to invade.

There are indeed many difficulties, but if Xiaohu puts his best effort into it, it won't be too difficult.

The main reason is that the regiment-level ship has enough space and good stability. Qu Jianlei even moved out a set of computing units for support.

But having that strength doesn’t mean you have to do that.

Both Qu Jianlei and Xiao Hu are used to developing insignificant ways, and it is impossible for them to completely expose their trump cards.

Therefore, this attack must have a certain degree of control. While ensuring that it can break through the blockade, the power of the attack must be reduced as much as possible.

Qu Jianlei watched Xiaohu's operation for a while, and felt that it was pretty much the same, so he didn't bother to observe anymore.

Anyway, it was easy for them to communicate, so they turned around and went to the room where Hill was being held.

In the room, Xiao Moshan was telling Hill about the tragedy that happened on Planet 4.

Their identities had not been revealed before, so it was impossible for him to tell the story, but now he could.

Hill looked shocked when he heard this, "How can you Empire people... be so cruel?"

"Don't force me to beat you!" Xiao Moshan said coldly, "If you didn't stir up trouble, would this happen?"

Hill shook his head slightly and didn't say anything else. He still felt a little disapproving: After all, you Imperial people are too barbaric!

When he thinks this way, he is naturally looking at the problem from the perspective of federal society. The cultures of the two countries are different after all.

Qu Jianlei walked over and sat down, "What information do you have that you can share with us?"

Hill was still shocked by the news about Star No. 4, and was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.

"Boss, please wait a moment. I want to ask first, are you evil...which department of the empire do you belong to?"

"I need to know who I disclosed the information to, otherwise I would rather not tell."

If someone else spoke like this, Qu Jianlei would have plenty of ways to deal with him, but this guy... has a similar temperament to Xiao Moshan.

So he answered casually, "It's just a small social organization...have you ever heard of Digital Phantom?"

"No," Hill shook his head honestly, "I have paid close attention to the empire's information, but..."

"I would like to ask, does your organization have a history of two hundred years?"

Two hundred years is not an arbitrary number. Organizations with a maximum lifespan of three hundred and less than two hundred years can generally be regarded as emerging organizations.
