This made Grobal, who was prepared for a possible blockade, feel a little uneasy.

At every moment, the VE-1 squadron as an early warning aircraft takes off, setting up a dragnet around SDF-1, trying to uncover the Geraldi fleet that may be ambushing in the surrounding space.

The result was nothing.

Grobar played with the pipe in his hand and couldn't help but ponder.

If no interception is encountered in the subsequent voyage, then the area where a blocking battle may occur is probably when SDF-1 is about to enter the asteroid belt.

It is true that if SDF-1 can successfully rush into the asteroid belt, it will definitely be able to use the complex environment of the asteroid belt to hide its existence as much as possible, and use the resources that the surrounding asteroids may contain to supplement itself.

But conversely, imagine that the Gerati aliens can also take advantage of the complex environment of the asteroid belt to hide their existence, set up a fleet that is powerful enough, and wait for SDF-1 to fall into its trap.

"Is there only one step between heaven and hell?"

Grobar held his pipe in his mouth and his eyes gradually became sharp.

"But, we have to take this step!"

The battle call order was issued from the bridge and was instantly transmitted to all pilots, including He Ming.

"The battle begins again!"

The pilots who received the summons did not hesitate and gathered towards the combat analysis room.

When Grobar arrived with Hayase Misa, all the pilots were in place except those who were on guard duty.

After saluting, Grobar put down the pipe in his hand and looked at Misa Hayase.

The latter opened a projection pattern.

It is not difficult to see that this is the sailing route map of SDF-1 in recent days.

"Everyone, thanks to your hard work some time ago, we were able to successfully use Jupiter's gravitational slingshot to speed up our return to Earth. However, this does not mean that we will be able to return to our beloved home immediately."

After Grobal made a brief opening statement, he went straight to the topic.

"Before that, we still need to stay in the asteroid belt for a period of time, and then use this time to collect as much resources as we need to prepare for the final journey home."

This is the original plan.

When executing the Jupiter gravity slingshot, a rough plan was formed.

The key is Grobar's next speech.

"In recent days, everyone who has participated in the warning mission should have discovered that the fleet of the Gerati planet did not launch an attack when SDF-1 left the orbit of Jupiter, as we speculated. On the contrary, it continued to attack for several days.

There’s an eerie calmness.”

"Therefore, after combining relevant intelligence, we speculate that the fleet of the Gerati aliens is not retreating, but is concentrated near the asteroid belt, waiting for SDF-1 to fall into its trap."

As soon as Grobar's words came out, there was a flurry of discussion.

Grobbal didn't stop.

Because this is news that is urgent enough for everyone.

There are naturally ways to avoid the Geraldi star fleet.

But that also means that SDF-1 voluntarily gave up the resources in the asteroid belt, and instead embarked on a terrifying path that is more distant, has a harsher environment, may even exhaust resources, and stage unimaginable tragedies.

In space navigation, as long as the spacecraft deviates slightly from the predetermined course, it means that more fuel and resources will be consumed to return the spacecraft to the predetermined course.

However, SDF-1's current resource reserves do not allow SDF-1 to have such a situation.

"Captain. What's next will be a fierce battle?"

Roy Falk asked.

After his speech, the whole place fell silent.

"Yes. It was a fierce battle."

Grobbal acknowledged this.

This does not require the use of any lies to modify or cover up.

The pilots who can sit here are all experienced pilots.

At the same time, they are also the last batch of elite pilots in mankind.

Grobal has great trust in them.

"I understand! Please give the order, Captain!"

After Roy Falk finished speaking, he sat down and waited for Grobar's order.

The same was true for the surrounding pilots, who were calmly waiting for Grobar's orders.

Grobar nodded, raised his hand to salute the pilots, and then gave the chance to speak to Misa Hayase.

"What's your name, get out of the queue!"

What no one expected was that the first person named by Hayase Misa turned out to be.

Everyone moved their eyes to look at the young man sitting behind Roy who kept a low profile.

Among all the pilots, there is no other memory of He Ming except the battle on Jupiter where he led the drone swarm to complete the raid mission.

"Is that the boy?"

"Are we going to use drone swarms again?"

Pilots, you look at me and I look at you, all trying to guess the purpose of calling someone by name.

"yes!"

He Ming stood up straight.

"You are responsible for leading twelve QF-3000E drones to conduct reconnaissance and collect the enemy's various data, electromagnetic characteristics and other relevant intelligence. Do not engage with the enemy unless necessary!"

"yes."

He Ming accepted the order.

"In addition, because of the particularity of this mission, the twelve QF-3000Es have also been modified accordingly. After entering the relevant space, they will actively receive and search for relevant information about the space, and send information to the rear

Send back relevant information. Therefore, you only need to be responsible for monitoring and guiding the flight of the QF-3000E."

"What if there's a fight?"

"You can abandon all QF-3000Es without hesitation and return immediately. In everything, your safety is the priority."

He Ming frowned.

This mission is not so much about going out for reconnaissance as it is about luring a snake out of its hole?

Without the direct control of the intelligent AI cube, the twelve QF-3000Es are neither strong nor weak.

The only difference is whether there will be casualties when engaging the enemy.

He Ming sat down and met Roy's eyes as he turned around.

"Is it really bait?"

With this thought, He Ming gained some confidence.

However, He Ming's bait is not so easy to "swallow".
