This way, when the Machine Calamity fleet returns in the future, they can salvage these probes and easily read the information. This will allow them to know what they have done in the star system during this time, and even… know which direction their fleet has fled.
Just as even the Machine Calamity fleet cannot completely eliminate their own spy probes, I am even less likely to eliminate the spy probes left behind by the Machine Calamity fleet.
Space is too vast, and spy probes are too small. The deep space of the universe will completely conceal their tiny figures, preventing them from being detected by the outside world.
Moreover, the Machine Calamity fleet will inevitably do this, because it costs nothing and is very effective.
So, what should I do?
If the main fleet and the disguised fleet separate inside the star system, it will not have any camouflage effect, because those probes will inevitably be able to detect which is the real main fleet and which is the disguised fleet.
In response to this situation, Li Qingsong came up with a solution.
Since separating inside the star system will expose the main fleet and the disguised fleet, then…
I won't separate!
My disguised fleet and the main fleet will maintain the same course and escape together!
I will separate when I reach space that you cannot detect!
The reason for this approach is that Li Qingsong can confirm one thing.
That is, the probes that the Machine Calamity fleet must have left in the V432 Pegasi star system cannot have long-term acceleration capabilities, and cannot always follow our fleet for close observation.
The reason is very simple: our fleet needs to accelerate to 8% of the speed of light. In this process, the thrusters need to be at full power for as long as ten years.
And this will consume a huge amount of fuel.
Even if those spy probes have enough fuel reserves, then enough fuel means enough mass. Providing propulsion and acceleration for such a huge mass will cause the exhaust plume to be extremely bright.
The main thing that spy probes rely on to survive in space is stealth. And a bright exhaust plume will expose them.
So, at this moment, the following situation will occur: if your probes want to follow my fleet, they will inevitably be exposed, and I will inevitably be able to destroy you.
If your probes do not follow my fleet, then they can continue to hide, but they will get further and further away from my fleet, until they can no longer see the details of the fleet except for the light of the exhaust plume, and cannot distinguish which is the real main fleet and which is the disguised fleet.
Since you can't tell the difference, I can truly separate the disguised fleet from the main fleet.
It was out of this consideration that Li Qingsong let a total of six fleets leave together.
With the fierce propulsion, with the speed gradually increasing, and with the fleet gradually moving away, the light of V432 Pegasi gradually dimmed, and the figures of countless large planets, asteroids, comets, etc., gradually disappeared from Li Qingsong's vision.
In the past hundreds of years, my all-out efforts seem to have not caused any externally visible impact on this star system.
No matter how strong Li Qingsong's industrial capabilities are, they are still too small compared to these natural celestial bodies.
"That's good, that's good…"
Li Qingsong sighed and cast his gaze towards the distant and vast universe.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
At this moment, the distance between the fleet and the V432 Pegasi star system has increased to about 3 trillion kilometers, about light-years. The speed has accelerated to about of the speed of light, not yet reaching the original 8% speed of light.
At this moment, the fleet has not yet left the gravitational boundary of V432 Pegasi.
Although this place is vast and empty, Li Qingsong knows that in those corners that even he cannot detect, there may be tiny celestial bodies hidden that are still controlled by the gravity of this huge star and are still revolving around it.
However, for probes, a distance of about light-years is already far enough.
Then, let's carry out the fleet separation work here.
With an order from Li Qingsong, a total of six main fleets quietly changed their ejection direction.
So, in the next moment, the six fleets that had been together for ten years parted ways and flew in different directions, with the distance between them getting further and further.
In a hurry, another 3 years or so passed.
The latest novels are first published at !
At this moment, Li Qingsong, who is located in the main fleet, can no longer see the traces of those branch fleets.
At this moment, the fleet's speed has finally accelerated to the original speed of 8% of the speed of light, and the distance from V432 Pegasi has also reached about half a light-year.
At this moment, Li Qingsong's fleet entered inertial navigation mode.
After flying for a while, Li Qingsong's fleet turned on random maneuvering mode.
At the same time, if my preset program does not malfunction, those disguised fleets should also have turned on random maneuvering.
Many thrusters were turned on again at low power, starting for a total of 10 days, applying a course deviation of about 5 kilometers per second to the fleet in a randomly selected direction, and then turned off again.
In the future, Li Qingsong will carry out multiple random maneuvers to ensure that the course of his fleet cannot be tracked.
Time is still passing slowly. After 46 years, Li Qingsong received a clone consciousness link from the V432 Pegasi star system.
At this moment, the distance between Li Qingsong and the V432 Pegasi star system has expanded to about 3 light-years.
This means a communication delay of 3 years, that is, this consciousness connection from the clone in the V432 Pegasi star system started 3 years ago.
And the condition to awaken the hibernating clone is to observe the approach of a suspected Machine Calamity fleet.
This seems to mean… that the time for the Machine Calamity fleet to make a comeback is more than ten years earlier than my original estimate.
Li Qingsong sighed secretly.
"Fortunately, in recent years, I have always gone all out and never slackened, so I was able to escape before the Machine Calamity fleet arrived with such danger…"
Just as even the Machine Calamity fleet cannot completely eliminate their own spy probes, I am even less likely to eliminate the spy probes left behind by the Machine Calamity fleet.
