Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 26 Finding the Enemy
Coming out of the jump passage, the "Shadow" released a hundred small detectors, and launched a dragnet search in an area with a radius of 1000 million kilometers.Twelve hours have passed, and there is still nothing found, not even the trace of the "God's Footprint" being here.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Feng briefly explained the situation in the third war zone to Yang Yi.

Although Zhan Ruilin has been hibernating most of the time in the past 500 years, relying on the authority he fought in the Fifth Greenwich War and his close relationship with the Hidden Eldar royal family, Zhan Ruilin's status in the third war zone Unshakable, even Du Wantu can't match it.Under Zhan Ruilin, there are three generals, Du Wantu, Luo Zhenyu and Lin Xiaoting, and the three of them are at odds with each other.

In fact, Du Wantu, Luo Zhenyu and Lin Xiaoting are all rising stars.

All three were born after the war, Luo Zhenyu was the oldest and Du Wantu the youngest.

Luo Zhenyu was able to become the commander of the war zone garrison force because of the glory of his ancestors, that is, Luo Zhenyu's great-grandfather Luo Zhanlie was Zhan Ruilin's confidant and beloved general. He led a legion to defend the frontier base of the watch star at the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War, and finally died tragically in battle. .In the final correspondence, Zhan Ruilin assured him that he would treat the descendants of the Luo family favorably.That's why the post of commander of the garrison has always been in the hands of the Luo family.

The Lin family has no past, it was just an ordinary family before Lin Xiaoting.The Lin family was able to grow and become one of the three major forces in the third war zone, all thanks to Lin Xiaoting.That is, Lin Xiaoting is the No.1 who successfully piloted the "Fire Phoenix" after the Fifth Greenwich War.It was Lin Xiaoting who successfully launched the "Fire Phoenix" that had been silent for 500 years, that Zhan Ruilin formed the special investigation team and appointed Lin Xiaoting as the first captain of the special investigation team.Since then, Lin Xiaoting spent nearly a hundred years of hard work to be promoted to general and transferred to the theater command.In a sense, Lin Xiaoting owes his success to Zhan Ruilin, so he has the closest relationship with Zhan Ruilin.

Du Wantu is an alternative, and its success is related to the largest local war after the Fifth Greenwich War, namely the "Watching Star Battle".In this war for the colonial planet, Du Wantu, as the fleet staff officer, commanded the fleet to defeat the Yanluo tribe army after the fleet commander and chief of staff were killed one after another, and captured the watch star, opening up a vast territory for the human federation. territory.Shortly thereafter, Du Wantu was promoted to major general and served as the chief of staff of the Third Fleet. He commanded the fleet to win several small-scale wars, and was promoted to admiral through hard work and became the commander of the fleet.Because the promotion of generals is under the control of the military department, the relationship between Du Wantu and the military department is extraordinary.

It can be seen that Luo Zhenyu's family background is the strongest, but it is already dead.

Although Lin Xiaoting has outstanding demeanor and outstanding military achievements, his family background is too weak, and he completely relies on Zhan Ruilin, so his strength and confidence are slightly insufficient.

Du Wantu has military achievements, has the support of the military department, and also holds real power. It can be said that he is at the height of the sun.

"The third war zone is in such a mess, why doesn't Marshal Zhan Ruilin come forward to take care of it?"

"How?"

Yang Yi looked at Lin Feng puzzled, if he knew how to deal with it, would he still ask?

"Nominally, all the troops of the Federation are under the command of the military headquarters, but in reality, the nine major war zones are divided into battles, and it is difficult for the military headquarters to speak up." Lin Feng sighed and said, "This is the legacy of the Fifth Greenwich War. No one can easily change the current status quo. The emergence and growth of Du Wantu is also the inevitable result of this status quo. The military department has been trying to integrate the theaters, deprive the commanders of the theaters of command, and at least integrate the nine major theaters. Even if they know Du Wantu Wantu is ambitious, and it is impossible for Lin Shuai to take the risk of confronting the military to deal with Du Wantu. As for Luo Zhenyu, Lin Shuai naturally cannot back down on the promise he made in front of everyone."

"You can only support Lin Xiaoting."

"Three-legged, three-party check and balance, at least the current situation can be maintained. Unless the balance is broken, Lin Shuai will not come forward to rectify it."

Yang Yi nodded slightly, understanding what Lin Feng meant.

"We are just soldiers, and it is not our turn to consider these issues."

"Yeah, I think too much." Yang Yi smiled lightly and said, "To be honest, if I were you, I wouldn't have anything to do with the Luo family."

Lin Feng forced a smile and thanked Yang Yi for his understanding, but he had nothing to say.

18 years ago, Lin Xiaoting's promise of marriage was also forced by the situation, and he regretted it later. Otherwise, two years ago, when Lin Feng vowed to marry only the pilot of the "Frost Snow Tiger", he would not have witnessed it on the spot. It's even more impossible to let it go, I'm afraid Lin Feng would have been married off long ago.

At this time, a piece of light and shadow swayed, and Allen appeared in front of the two of them.

"Colonel, second lieutenant." Allen is an artificial intelligence who knows how to read words and expressions. Lin Feng's attitude towards Yang Yi has changed a lot, and he has been more polite to Yang Yi.

"Have you found anything?"

"Two minutes ago, probe No. 2 sent back a video, and then lost contact."

Lin Feng's brows twitched a few times, and Yang Yi's expression also became tense.

Without Lin Feng's instructions, Allen called out that video.

It is a small celestial body, that is, a large meteorite. The shooting location is a bit far away, and the celestial body gradually becomes larger, indicating that the probe is flying towards the celestial body.About half a minute later, the screen shook violently, and as a shadow passed by, the screen disappeared.

"what is that?"

"A celestial body, or a spaceship-level spacecraft." Allen played it again, and stopped when the shadow appeared.

Lin Feng frowned, stared for a while, and then looked at Yang Yi.

"That celestial body?" Yang Yi focused on the celestial body.

"Celestial body No. 4447828 is within the jurisdiction of surveillance post No. 4447, 1.4 million kilometers away from the post. It is an E-class celestial body with a long diameter of 170 kilometers, a short diameter of 86 kilometers, and a mass of 24.67 billion tons. It has a molten iron structure and has no atmosphere and earth Magnetic field, surface gravity 0.03G..."

"Wait. Can you measure the mass of a celestial body through the acceleration of the No. 87 probe when it flies past?"

"Hold on."

This kid's mind is quite flexible.Lin Feng slightly nodded towards Yang Yi, expressing his approval.

Yang Yi didn't feel complacent, and didn't even pay attention to Lin Feng. He had a very bad feeling, because the celestial body No. 7777914 was also a molten iron structure, and its size was similar to that of No. 4447828.Is this just a coincidence, or is there some connection between the two?

"Second Lieutenant, the measured mass is 18.88 billion tons."

Yang Yi immediately frowned, and looked at Lin Feng at the same time.

"Beast den?" Lin Feng said in a low voice.

Yang Yi nodded and didn't say much.Only when the interior is hollowed out can the quality of the celestial body decrease, which is the main manifestation of the celestial body being occupied by silicon beasts.

"Allen, adjust the route, activate the 'magic cloak' system, and fly in a concealed state."

"clear."

"Get ready for the 'Fire Phoenix', upon arrival..."

"Captain, be careful."

Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, then looked over at Yang Yi.

"Our task is to find clues to the 'God's Footsteps' and the 'Ice and Snow Tiger', not to deal with a den."

"Do you think that the nearby surveillance post should be notified?"

"There is no need for this for the time being, and there is a den in the missing area of ​​the 'God's Footsteps', there may be a connection between the two, we have to go and find out." Yang Yi paused for a while, then said, " I just think that there is no need to go to war for a den. If it has nothing to do with the 'God's Footsteps', it is not too late to call the police and let them send people to destroy the den."

Lin Feng thought for a while, nodded slightly, and gave Alan an order.

The "Shadow" began to accelerate, and at the same time, obvious energy fluctuations appeared on the surface of the spacecraft. After just a few seconds, the spacecraft disappeared.

This is a scout ship equipped with a "magic cloak" cloaking device.

Using the "magic cloak", the "Shadow" can achieve invisible light, infrared rays, and energy field stealth. Because it is a small, thousand-ton spaceship, the space distortion caused by the "Shadow" is minimal.Only the high-precision spatial distortion detectors found on S-class battleships can detect the "Shadow", as well as some high-level silicon beasts that are extremely sensitive to spatial distortion and are extremely rare in nature.

"How do you know it's a den?"

"guess."

Lin Feng looked at Yang Yi in disbelief, it was definitely not just a guess.

"Before I was exiled, I served in the field team of Outpost No. 7777. At that time, I followed the team leader to repair a detection device on a celestial body. I didn't know that the celestial body had been occupied by silicon beasts. That celestial body was also a molten iron structure, and About the size of this."

"and then?"

"We escaped luckily, but when we returned, the outpost had already been attacked. In order to pass back the news of the enemy's invasion, we did not participate in the battle. When we were retreating, we were attacked by enemy planes and the spaceship was destroyed. I followed a Team members entered the escape pod and woke up on the lava planet."

"So you're sentenced to desertion."

Yang Yi smiled wryly, he had nothing to say about it.

"This matter has nothing to do with the theater command. I have read the relevant information." Lin Feng paused for a moment before saying, "The third fleet arrived first, commanded by Du Wantu himself. The report submitted by the third fleet According to the report, all the officers and soldiers of Post No. 7777 were killed."

"It turned out to be him!" Yang Yi clenched his fists, trembling with anger.

Noticing the change in Yang Yi's expression, Lin Feng was also shocked, and hurriedly said: "Unfortunately, we can't prove that Du Wantu did it. There is no conclusive evidence, let alone you, even if my grandfather comes forward, we can't prove it." How about Du Wantu. He is the commander-in-chief of the Third Fleet, and you are just a small soldier. No one will sin against a small soldier, let alone accuse him."

"I understand, thank you."

Lin Feng was taken aback again, not knowing why Yang Yi wanted to thank her.

Yang Yi forced a smile without further explanation.

Although what Lin Feng said was correct, Yang Yi could not bring down Du Wantu with just one word, but he finally knew who his enemy was and who he should seek revenge on.
