Chapter 238 Sophon’s Blind Spot

Deterrence Era 17, outside the Oort Cloud, the Gravity

Since the pursuit fleet set sail, the Gravity has been sailing in deep space for a full 16 years. Now it is only 3 astronomical units away from the human federation fleet.

At this time, they had already crossed the Oort Nebula, the Human Federation fleet and the pursuit fleet, becoming the first human spacecraft to cross this border.

At that time, no one had any sense of traveling through a nebula. Occasionally, a frozen comet without a tail would pass by at close range, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, and could not be seen by the naked eye.

After passing through the Oort Nebula, the Gravity entered outer space in the true sense. At this time, the sun had become an ordinary star in the direction of the ship's stern.

Like other stars, it has lost its real sense of existence and seems to be an illusion in the distant void.

There is a bottomless abyss in all directions, and the only physical existence that can be determined by the senses is the water droplet and other battleships flying in formation with the Gravity.

The entire pursuit process is a process of acceleration and communication between the two fleets of the pursuit fleet and the Human Federation.

It is impossible for the human federation to carry out unlimited acceleration, which will exhaust fuel. After losing the ability to maneuver, even if it escapes pursuit, facing the vast space desert ahead is tantamount to suicide.

During the voyage of more than ten years, the pursuit fleet has been telling them that there is no point in escaping. Even if they get rid of the Star Alliance pursuit warships, the water droplets will definitely catch up with them and destroy them.

When they return to the solar system, they will get a fair trial, which if realized will greatly shorten the pursuit time, but the Human Federation has always ignored it.

Just two months ago, when the distance between the pursuit fleet and the Human Federation was shortened to three astronomical units, something not too unexpected happened.

The pursuit fleet entered the sophon blind zone, their real-time communication with the Star Alliance was interrupted, and they could only use neutrino communication.

At this time, it will take one year and three months for the message sent by the pursuit fleet to reach the solar system, and it will take an equally long time to receive a reply.

Entering the blind spot does not have a fatal impact on the mission of pursuing the fleet, but it makes the task much more complicated.

In the past, relying on the Sophons who had sneaked into the Human Federation fleet, the pursuit fleet could always understand the situation inside all the Human Federation ships, but now the Human Federation has begun to present a black box state to the pursuit fleet.

Secondly, the water droplet loses the real-time control of the three-body world, and its behavior is completely controlled by the built-in artificial intelligence, and unexpected situations may occur.

The above situation prompted the commander of the pursuit fleet to decide to speed up the mission. The pursuit fleet speeded up again and approached the target faster.

As the pursuit fleet rapidly approached, the Human Federation contacted the pursuit ship for the first time and proposed a solution.

That is to put two-thirds of the suspects on the space shuttle, leave the Human Federation's Star Destroyer strike group, and be picked up by the pursuit fleet, while the remaining one-third continues to fly to the target in deep space.

In this way, mankind retains an outpost and seeds in the interstellar space, and retains an opportunity for exploration.

This request was firmly rejected, and the pursuit fleet stated that all members of the Human Federation were suspected of murder and must be returned to the solar system to face trial.

Because they are people who have been alienated by space, they are no longer considered a part of human society, let alone explore the universe on behalf of human civilization.

The Human Federation obviously realizes that there is no point in escaping and resisting. If the pursuers only have solar system battleships, they can still fight to the death.

But the two water drops traveling together have made the strength of both parties disproportionate.

In front of the water droplets, the three Star Destroyer strike groups of the Human Federation were just a bunch of paper targets, with no possibility of escape.

Therefore, when the two sides were fifteen astronomical units apart, the Human Federation surrendered to the pursuing fleet, gave up escaping, and began to decelerate at full power. This drastically shortened the distance between the two ships, and the long pursuit was about to end.

Everyone in the pursuit fleet woke up from hibernation, the battleship entered combat mode, and the spaceship that had been deserted and silent for more than ten years became full of popularity again.

What the people who woke up faced, in addition to the pursuit target in front of them, was also the fact that they had lost real-time communication with the Star Alliance.

The latter did not mentally close the distance between them and the human federation. On the contrary, like a child who was temporarily separated from his parents, he was even more frightened and distrustful of the wild children he encountered who had no parents at all.

Everyone hopes to bring the members of the Human Federation to justice as soon as possible and then return to the solar system.

Although the two ships are in the same vast and lonely outer space, they are sailing in the same direction at about the same speed.

But in terms of spiritual pursuit, the fleet and the human federation are embarking on two completely different voyages. The former is active, and the latter is passive.

However, at this time, the pursuing fleet suddenly encountered numerous strange things, such as micro-meteors passing through the armor, a person's legs suddenly disappearing and then reappearing, and even part of the battleship disappearing.

These strange things made people on the ship panic. The most strange thing was the situation reported by Colonel Devin, commander of the 12th Military Police Brigade of the Solar System Fleet.

His mission is to disarm the Human Federation and arrest all suspects after the pursuit fleet catches up with its target.

This man can be said to be a peerless murderer. Just for combat needs, he has basically implanted bionic organs all over his body, including infrared and thermal devices implanted in his eyes.

He once participated in the Battle of Doomsday and Operation Space City America 7, and was personally awarded the award by Marshal Sai of the Solar System Fleet.

After watching the famous Bronze Age trial, he often made some tough remarks, believing that the death penalty should be reinstated in the law for the events of the Dark Battle.

So psychiatrist West was surprised by this, because according to the doctor's records, he was the person with the highest psychological stability coefficient in the entire pursuit fleet.

"Doctor, what I'm about to say may sound funny, but it's true. I met Park Yijun yesterday, that bastard from the Human Federation."

"Colonel Dai, you are talking about Park Yijun, the Chief of Staff of the Human Federation Command, right?" West asked.

"Yes, it's him. I have been using sophons to monitor the Human Federation before, and I can confirm this."

"Colonel, this is an illusion you have when you are tired. Trust me, don't worry, this is normal. I suggest you get more rest. After all, we have plenty of manpower now." West smiled.

"Doctor, I am a survivor of the Doomsday Battle. I was thrown out of the explosion and curled up in a rescue capsule not much bigger than your desk. I floated in the orbit of Saturn for a month."

"I was almost dead when I was rescued, but I still had no mental problems, and I didn't have any bullshit hallucinations... I believe what I saw, Park Yi-jun is on the Gravity."

Devin said as he stood up and left. When he walked to the cabin door, he turned around and said, "If I meet that bastard again, no matter where he is, I will kill him."
