Sagittarius spiral arms, the dark night sky of the universe.

The human fleet rushed for thousands of light years and gradually approached the Tallinndal fleet.

On the optical detectors of the Shenzhou, a Palese fleet gradually emerged.

"Caught it! In front, see it!" Ye Zheyu was the first to spot the Tallinndal fleet from the naked eye level.

Fang Yuan heard Ye Zheyu's report and glanced up at the screen shot by the detector.

In the picture, there is an endless universe background.

At very far away, there are a few very tiny spots of light moving.

These light spots are so small that it is difficult for ordinary people to notice.

"The picture is zoomed in." Fang Yuan ordered.

The picture on the screen began to zoom in, bringing the light spots closer.

As the screen zoomed in, those tiny light spots gradually became larger and clearer, and at last it could be recognized that they were the light from the spacecraft's engine.

When the warship is flying in curvature, the propulsion engine cannot be completely shut down, and it will run at low power, so the engine light emitted is not large.

After the screen is zoomed in, it is clear that the light from the battleship is basically equivalent to catching the prey.

"Youwei, start the photon transition and stop them." Fang Yuan gave the order after seeing the engine light clearly.

The human fleet burst out a bright band of light, speeding up to catch up.

As it gets closer, the picture becomes clearer and clearer.

First look at the engine light clearly, then slowly see the outline of the battleship around the engine light, and finally see the complete battleship.

"The target is confirmed to be a battleship of the Tallinndal Fleet." The reconnaissance team notified.

"Intercept." Fang Yuan gave the order in a steady tone.

The fleet continued to accelerate, past the Tallinndal fleet, directly ramming their warships, smashing their warships to pieces like bubbles, and then continuing to chase forward.

After the image of the Tallinndal fleet shattered like bubbles, the human fleet did not stop pursuing and continued to accelerate.

"Prepare for the large curvature blocker." The expression on Fang Yuan's face did not change because of the destruction of the Tallinndal fleet's image, and he continued to issue intercept orders.

No one in the human fleet raised any questions.

The reason for this is because the Tallinndal fleet seen by the naked eye is the real Tallinndal fleet, but the real position is different from the position seen.

Because of the curvature of navigation, the speed of curvature has exceeded the speed of light.

When the human fleet sees the Tallinndal fleet from optical detection, in fact, the Tallinndal fleet is no longer in that position and needs to continue to chase forward.

"The predicted distance is 3 light seconds, 2 light seconds, 1 light second..." Lang Xiaonian predicted the distance to the Tallinndal fleet by calculating with the star map.

This distance can only be predicted by the collected information, it is impossible to get an accurate position from the optical level.

However, the prediction of the position of the warships of advanced civilization on the curvature flight has been very accurate, and the error is within the controllable range.

"Start the large curvature blocker!" Fang Yuan promptly issued an order.

Hum!

Shenzhou emits a huge amount of energy, distorting the curvature of space, blocking the curvature of the curvature engine from driving it.

Buzzing...

Under the action of the large curvature blocker, the curvature flight of the human fleet received great resistance, and the curvature speed began to decrease rapidly.

"The curvature is reduced, 20 times the speed of curvature of light, 10 times the speed of curvature of light, 5 times the speed of curvature of light..." The curvature engine group informs the fleet's curvature speed in real time, and keeps all warships in the fleet at the same curvature speed.

As the curvature speed decreases, the load on the curvature engine becomes greater.

This process consumes a lot of energy, especially the energy reduction rate of the Shenzhou ship, which almost broke the table.

Because Shenzhou not only has to maintain the power of the curvature engine, but also maintain the operation of the large curvature blocker.

The two are opposed to each other, which is a huge internal friction.

However, this must be done if you want to capture the fleet that is flying with curvature.

At least the flagship battleship can do this.

The Shenzhou is more special. It is a star destroyer with fast speed and strong firepower. It is also equipped with a large curvature blocker. It is a very fierce hunter in the universe. The disadvantage is that the cost performance is not flattering.

As the curvature of the fleet decreases, the soldiers on the human fleet become a little nervous.

Because before the speed of curvature drops to a critical point, it is difficult to observe the Count of Tallinndal's fleet with the naked eye.

Therefore, no one knows whether this arrest was successful.

This process is a bit like a blind man guessing the location of his prey and then catching it.

Of course, it is said that he is blind, but the position of the target is also calculated and deduced through rigorous calculations.

It's just that you can't be completely sure until the answer is revealed.

"3 times the speed of curvature of light..." The curvature engine group announced the speed again.

"Caught it! I saw it!" Ye Zheyu suddenly shouted at this moment.

Fang Yuan looked up, and he saw that the battleship of Palese appeared 70,000 kilometers away from Shenzhou.

This time it was a warship that was visible to the naked eye. As the curvature speed became lower and lower, the outline of the warship became clearer and clearer.

The current Shenzhou has opened a large curvature blocker, forming a curvature blocking field.

The curvature blocking field covers a distance of 100,000 kilometers, which just shrouds the front warship in the curvature blocking force field.

With the blockade of the large curvature blocker, the curvature speed of the spacecraft within the range continued to decrease, and finally fell below the speed of light and stopped operating.

The battleship moves forward with propulsion engines.

On the screen, you can clearly see every detail of the target battleship.

At this moment.

Fang Yuan frowned, feeling something wrong.

"Why is there only one battleship? Did our net leak?" Eve said directly, with a confused tone.

Something is really wrong.

There was indeed only one warship that was captured in front, not a fleet.

Fang Yuan looked at Ye Zheyu and asked, "What did you see before was the engine light of a battleship?"

"No, I saw three points. After getting closer, I saw five points. It is impossible to have only one ship." Ye Zheyu was also very strange.

He was pretty sure that he did see five engine lights before.

In other words, there are at least five warships.

Moreover, in the dark night sky of the universe, because the distance is too far, the light is too dark, and the size of the battleship is different, the size of the engine light emitted is also different.

Under normal circumstances, seeing a light spot is likely to capture an enemy fleet.

And seeing three points of light, or even five points of light, it can basically be 100% sure, that is, a fleet.

Ye Zheyu saw three light spots at first, and when he got closer, he saw five more light spots.

From an observation point of view, this is a sign of the discovery of a fleet.

However, only one ship has been caught now, which is a bit strange.
