Chapter 1206 Gravitational Slingshot
"Based on my calculations, they launched a battle near Phoenix Star and launched an attack on the Yingzhou border, and the risks they needed to bear are extremely close to."
As Cheriel said, he displayed the names of the pirates on the holographic screen.
"If we carefully distinguish, we can find out. These pirate groups that have been trying hard to stay in the eastern part of Yingzhou since half a month ago are extremely close to our hostile forces. It is hard not to doubt their purpose."
This time, Xuanyuan Xue didn't say anything, and she was still thinking, looking at the girl standing in front of her, waving squarely in front of her.
He already understood why Zhang Changzhi attached so much importance to this girl.
He hasn't seen Cheriel's ability in combat command yet, but with his strategic ability, this girl might be better than her brother Al Weilun!
Unfortunately, two months ago, their Thunder Hammer Mercenary Group was likely to poach the brother and sister together. This is a buy one get one get one, which is a good deal.
"I cannot be 100% sure about my judgment. However, before entering Yingzhou, it is necessary to formulate one to three combat plans in case."
"The so-called "beware of danger in times of peace, and be prepared to think about it, and be prepared for any danger. Even in a safe environment, you must think about the possibility of danger. This is the truth that military strategists have recognized since ancient times."
"I agree with this."
Xuanyuan Xue's eyes revealed a strong sense of school examination: "So what are you going to do? Based on the total number of opponent's warships exceeding 5,000, how are you going to deal with this war?"
At this time, Cheriel took a special glance above. When Cheriel found Zhang Xin and was listening quietly, more confidence was gathered in her eyes.
"I have studied the ship data of both sides and found that the range of our ships is generally higher than that of our opponents. This is because our ships are young and well maintained."
"Is there a seven percent range advantage? But this is not enough to be an advantage on the battlefield."
Xuanyuan Xue crossed his hands and fingers, questioning again: "In terms of the speed of the warship today, it takes less than three seconds to reach 30,000 kilometers. How many warships can we sink on the opponent during this period? Thirty or fifty? You know, the concept of our ship design is to advance, not to retreat, so it is impossible to keep a distance at all times. With the number of our naval guns, it is impossible to carry out intensive interception bomb design."
"I know this, but this time, although we cannot choose the time when the battle will take place, we will decide where to start the battle."
Cheriel's lips slightly raised: "This is the draft combat plan I have formulated before. Please check it out."
While she said, she used her slender fingers to transmit a document to the personal terminal interface of several people present.
And just a moment, Xuanyuan Xue raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did you use a gravitational slingshot?"
Although Xuanyuan Blood had already tried his best to suppress it at this time, the amazement in his words was still so strong that even deaf people could hear it.
Zhang Xin also raised his eyebrows and eyes slightly, showing an unexpected look again.
The so-called "gravity slingshot" is a method in ancient times when humans used the gravity field of the planet to accelerate the space exploration ship and throw it towards the next target to save navigation time.
This method has the same relative velocity as the planet, but the speed has increased significantly compared to the sun and the surrounding ladders.
In that era when the space propulsion system was inefficient and humans had not yet fully entered space, there was also the theory of "Horman's transfer orbit", which also used the "gravity slingshot" to allow spacecraft to change orbits in a more energy-saving way, accelerating or decelerating during the period.
He already understood the core points of Cheryl's combat plan.
It has to be admitted that in terms of talent alone, the Earth Federation, which has a huge population base, is indeed far better than the Dome Star.
For example, if Cheryl in front of him had a talent like this woman, if placed in the Star of Twinkle, she would definitely be able to surpass the top ten pillars of heaven and even compete with him on the battlefield.
"So I am going to set the target of the next curvature voyage near the planet Shuangxian 3. When fighting here, as long as we can enter the near-Earth orbit of the planet Shuangxian 3, we can use the gravitational slingshot here to obtain a speed that is not inferior to the warships when they retreat!"
Cheryl was a little harder on the projection star map, causing many ripples.
"Considering that our third temporary preservation fleet and all major mercenary groups have excellent shooting accuracy. This seven percent range advantage is enough to send the opponent to hell while maintaining a low casualty rate!"
"It seems that the master has found another good helper."
At this time, not only was there waiting for people, but even Ye Ruo couldn't help but exclaim "tsk tsk" in Zhang Xin's ears.
"Even I can tell that her combat plan is reliable and incredible."
At this time, Zhang Xin stood up: "I think this plan is very good and can be used as a priority option. What do you think?"
When Wei State heard this, he answered without hesitation: "I am deeply impressed by the talent and imagination of the Lord, Admiral Cheriel."
Xuanyuan Xue also nodded slightly: "Just follow her plan! However, although my personal opinion is that the success rate is very high, but as a precaution, there are still two registrations."
※※※※
Just a few minutes later, in the Yingzhou Star Domain, somewhere in the dark void.
Ruolin stood beside the porthole on the side of the bridge with her hands on her back, looking at the newly-sized fleet outside.
"It is expected that the only ships we participated in the battle include 700 warships of the Black Sail Guard, 250 warships of the Red Fox Group's Private Army, 220 warships of the East China Sea Group, 870 warships of the Ghost Pirates Group, and 650 warships of the Bone-breaking Pirates Group. This is all thanks to our careful preparations before the war, which has exceeded 5,600 ships of the total number of ships participating in the battle this time!"
At this time, near the combat command platform not far away, a masked man in black was making the final pre-war summary.
"And the Wei Yan Group, including the third temporary preservation fleet, the 700 warships, the Thunder Hammer Mercenary Group, the 440 warships of the Light Mercenary Group, and the 450 warships of the Keel Mercenary Group. In addition, according to the information, the other party has temporarily hired three medium-sized mercenary groups located in the Yingzhou border area and ordered the Wei Yan Group to gather all its subordinates in this area to Shuangxian 3 planets. This can make the total number of their warships reach 3,900."
While speaking, the man used a coach to hit the holographic map hard: "I expect that the opponent is already alert to our actions, and this place is the foothold for the other party's next curvature voyage."
"Is it three thousand nine vs five thousand six? It doesn't seem to be an advantage,"
Ruolin frowned slightly: "Karsa, both the quality of the opponent's warships and the level of combatants are above us!"
