Chapter 498 Defensive Counterattack (1)

At this moment, the warp level value on the flight status indicator was close to 0. At the same time as the damage control system issued a warning sound, the hull turbulent again, and the left and right displays connected to the battleship sensor system flashed and then changed It's all white.

"Morning Star" escaped from the virtual space and appeared in the real universe.

The crew in the damage control management position immediately reported the injury: "Captain, the sensor system has been damaged by the EMP impact, the main engine is overloaded, the railgun arrays on both wings are offline, and the radar and communication systems have also been affected to varying degrees."

"No problem."

There are detectors to assist in the investigation. It doesn't matter whether the sensor system and radar equipment of the "Morning Star" are malfunctioning or not. When the crew reported the injury, he had already released 4 detectors, started wide-area scanning, searched and intercepted By.

"Defense team, immediately open the star ring and activate 'Aurora'."

"Yes, Captain." As soon as the words fell, a member of the defense team pressed a key button.

The deadly "Morning Star" ship's belly position spewed out streams of white air, and the dots of light lit up. The four beams were erected from the folded state, and the two ends were unfolded into a ring-shaped structure.

As the crystals inlaid on the surface light up dots of starbursts, the cracks on the outer surface of the star ring radiate a circle of colorful rays of light. They are composed of multiple particles constrained by a force field, and they look like a sheet of paper from a distance. The long aurora net quickly spread towards the bow and tail of the battleship.

However, the expansion speed of the "Aurora" shield is fast, and a warning signal from the detector is even faster.

Before Tang Fang could react in time, one, two, three... a total of three blue beams of light shot from a very far distance, and precisely hit a point on the star ring on the bottom of the "Morning Star" .

The colorful particle tide is like a stirred water surface, suddenly losing its balance. The three beams of light scattered the particle tide before the shield was formed, and hit the main body of the star ring.

A dazzling flash erupted from the belly of the "Morning Star". The star ring was injured and broken, and the shield energy of the corresponding part could not be sustained. Create a defensive gap.

Inside the bridge, red spots flickered on the indicator of the shield system where it was hit by the beam of light. The "Aurora" shield that should have existed in a spindle shape was exposed like a cracked eggshell, and a large piece was exposed.

Affected by it, the strength of the entire shield is also greatly reduced, only 30% of the previous level.

The battleship was recoiled by the emp, the main system was down, and now the "Aurora" shield has also suffered heavy damage.

In a very dangerous situation for a while.

Tang Fang never thought that such an accident would happen. According to the current scientific level, it is true that the warp speed interception equipment can interrupt the warp speed of the warship, but it cannot accurately measure the coordinate point of the intercepted warship leaving the virtual space. This gave some warships a chance to escape from the sky or to fight back. Unless the intercepting party has a large number of troops and lays a net, it will be difficult to attack the warships that have just left the virtual space in the first place.

The shield system of the "Morning Star" is derived from the universal force field generator, which is the same as the antimatter auxiliary propulsion system. It exists as an independent module in the battleship, and does not belong to the same energy supply chain as the main engine, which ensures that the "Morning Star" is intercepted by the enemy. It can also turn on the shield to protect itself at the first time.

But what is puzzling is that within less than a minute after leaving the virtual space, the "Morning Star" was hit by the enemy's precision attack, and according to the scanning results from the detector, the number of enemy ships was not many, only a few 5 ships.

Since the other party is not in the interception mode of casting a wide net, it can only explain one problem, they can predict the appearance position of the "Morning Star" to the greatest extent.

This is not the most surprising thing, according to the super performance of "Aurora". Even if the shield is not fully formed, the battleship-level weapons of national navies such as the Star Alliance, the Silver Eagle Group, and the Phoenix Empire. Without a number of more than a dozen, it is impossible to blast through the shell of "Aurora".

But now it is. Only 3 warships of the opponent activated their main guns, and they successfully tore through the unformed "Aurora" shield, and blasted a corner of the main structure of the star ring. One can imagine how powerful their main guns are.

Not to mention the destructive effect it caused, just from the attack method, it is easy to feel that the enemy ship is unusual, because it is an energy type attack, not a live ammunition like a rail gun, and it is also different from a plasma weapon. According to the reconnaissance According to the data sent by the detector, Emma analyzed that it should be a high-energy laser.

Combined with the image of the enemy ship captured by the sensor device of the detector, it made him feel even more strange. I am afraid that the person who attacked this time was far from being as simple as he imagined.

It was a silver battleship with a body length of about 170 meters and a triangular pyramid shape. The snow wolf totem was vaguely visible on the ship's side.

In Tang Fang's memory, none of the warships of the same specification that are still in service in the various navies in the Hillenbel region match their appearance, which shows that the enemy is not from the military, but should be the private army of someone or a certain force.

"Tang Fang, what should we do?"

Aros interrupted his contemplation, and the usually stable veteran showed a little worry. After all, the scene in front of him was too appalling. This was the first time that the "Morning Star" had been seriously damaged since the transformation was completed.

"Driving team, activate the anti-matter auxiliary thruster, direction 100, angle 30, and move forward at full speed."

At the same time as the order was issued, Tang Fang had released 63 Corruptors, 42 Flying Dragons, 35 Viking fighters, and 3 Ravens, and they flocked to the 5 triangular warships behind the "Morning Star" in a fan-shaped formation.

He couldn't be careless about the changes just now. The origins of the next five warships are a mystery, and with such power, in the current situation where the "Aurora" shield is damaged, if he is not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

The antimatter auxiliary thrusters at the tail of the "Morning Star" ignited, the battleship turned, and flew forward in accordance with his instructions, while the human and insect air forces behind them accelerated in the opposite direction, splitting into five groups and heading towards the enemy ship.

The heavy missile launchers on both sides of the triangular warship's bow burst into flames, and missiles with a length of several meters swarmed out, rushing straight towards the mixed air force of humans and insects. A scaled-down triangular warship of about 18 meters was put into the battlefield, followed by the heavy missiles and fired away.

An Raven projected a fixed-point unmanned target drone, and the laser weapon received a radar synchronization signal to launch an intercepting laser towards the front heavy missile.

If it is an ordinary heavy missile, it will naturally be destroyed if it is hit by the laser of the fixed-point unmanned target drone. A jaw-dropping situation happened. The protrusions on the surface of the heavy missile glowed red, and the surface of the missile was actually interwoven into a protective cover composed of a rhombus matrix. The intercepting laser emitted by the fixed-point unmanned target drone hit it with a rippling surge, and then disappeared without a trace. The missile continued to accelerate forward.

The speed of the Viking fighter and the flying dragon is very fast. The mt50 Lanzel flying mine is used to bombard the main body of the triangular warship. They are the main force against the triangular warships.

With 150 units of human and insect air force against 5 triangular warships and their combat aircraft, it shows that Tang Fang attaches great importance to the enemy.

The speed of the flying dragon is very fast, and it is difficult for general battleship masters and string guns to accurately lock them, but the weapon used by the small triangular cone aircraft is a honeycomb laser emitter. Through rapid rotation, the maneuvering space of the flying dragon can be compressed to the maximum extent to suppress firepower.

A flying dragon fell into the fire range of the turret surrounded by two small triangular aircraft, and the fiery red laser beams rained down, shooting countless scorched black holes on its body until it was smashed into a sieve and turned into pieces floating in the void. Meat.

At this time, a flying dragon leaped out from the bottom, turned around in the air, and the tail structure sprayed out a semi-sensing blade insect with extremely high kinetic energy towards the target.

The honeycomb laser emitters of a small triangular aircraft were destroyed and caught fire. But the other blade worms were bounced off by the diamond-shaped matrix on the surface of the aircraft, and at this moment, a Viking fighter jet swung and passed by above. Two mt50 Lanzel flying thunders hit the place where the blade worm just hit.

The antimatter warhead exploded under stress, and flames emerged. The diamond-shaped matrix was like overwhelmed glass, and it shattered into countless light spots of different sizes in an instant.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the flying dragon shot out a group of blade worms again, piercing through the pitch-black shell of the small triangular cone aircraft, sending out a series of explosions, and burning it into raging flames.

The small triangular aircraft next to it had no time to turn around, and a pair of 50mm rapid-fire guns suddenly protruded from both sides of the main engine under the wingspan of the tail. The armor-piercing bullets were poured out continuously, and the flying dragon screamed again and again. The scales on the body surface were like broken eggshells, and blood splashed everywhere. Congealed into clusters of blood beads.

The Corruptors at the rear finally approached the frontline battlefield. The front end opened a huge beak, and the liquid sacs on both sides wriggled for a while, and the slurry wrapped in parasitic spores was shot out, and it smashed into the bow of the small triangular cone aircraft, and the corrosive slurry was painted into pieces. .

The sorting balance of the heavy particles that make up the rhombus matrix was broken, and the rapidly penetrating slurry corroded and disintegrated the rhombus matrix layer by layer. The original golden shield became dull, and two mt50 Lanzel flying thunders drew a line After the beautiful arc shattered the rhombus matrix, it shredded the small triangular aircraft.

What the pilot of the Viking fighter did not expect was that the moment before the explosion of the triangular cone aircraft, he did not forget to turn the honeycomb laser launcher on the bow of the ship, and use the most central main gun to scratch the right wing of the Viking fighter, making it He lost his balance and was hit by a heavy missile, turning into a violent flash of light in the cold and dark void, and throwing out countless fragments with fire and electric arcs.

Because the small triangular cone aircraft disintegrated and exploded, a large amount of smoke and dust flew outwards. When the first Corruptor flew obliquely, it was hit by a heavy missile rushing out of the smoke.

This heavy-duty missile with a shield is, to put it bluntly, a suicide drone. It is filled with a small fusion core inside, and its explosive power can catch up with the nuclear bomb.

The same flash as before illuminated the void for several kilometers, and the entire body of the Corruptor was engulfed by the huge fireball and turned into nothingness.

At this moment, a dazzling blue-blue beam of light pierced the surging flames, and under the refraction of the billowing smoke clouds, a round of gorgeous halo spread out. Then, without slowing down, it pierced through a Corruptor 5 kilometers ahead, and continued to cross nearly At a distance of 100 kilometers, it hit the shield on the upper surface of the Morning Star, splashing a faint blue light like a splash of water.

A Raven flew out from the rear queue and took the opportunity to lock on to the triangular battleship. The ejection bay in front opened, and the Raven bomb with a diameter of several meters ignited and went away. A more dazzling flash than a heavy missile explosion.

At the same time, two Viking fighters cut in obliquely, and six mt50 Lanzel flying thunders roared out. At the same time, the 40mm Gatling cannons on both sides of the nose splashed two rows of light rain, hitting the crow accurately. The explosion point of the bomb.

The continuously flickering flames illuminated the surrounding void, drawing waves of flames like gushing springs on the glass frame of the Viking fighter cockpit.

Affected by this, even if the defense power of the rhombic matrix of the triangular warship is much stronger than that of the small triangular aircraft. But in this way of hitting the surface with points, it is inevitable that local damage will occur. After a few diamond-shaped shields flickered. The binding force field was overloaded and collapsed, and the disordered heavy particles were blown away by the shock wave generated by the Raven bomb and the mt50 Lanzel fly thunder. Like the golden silk flocks lifted into the sky, it diffused into the surrounding void, then became dark and silent.

The armor-piercing bullets with extremely high kinetic energy took the opportunity to drill into the interior of the diamond-shaped matrix, and hit the metal shell of the triangular warship, leaving a row of densely packed bullet holes.

The pyramid warship was 170 meters in size, and the 40mm armor-piercing projectiles fired by the Viking fighters were difficult to cause fatal damage, but it sounded the alarm for the drivers. They can ruthlessly crush pirate warships and even conventional naval fleets, but they have no advantage in the face of Captain Tang. These small flying units can also break the diamond matrix and endanger the battleship itself through cooperation.

The essence of the rhombus matrix is ​​a kind of heavy particle shield. Through the restraint devices all over the surface of the ship, they are arranged, rectified and rectified by force field, so that it forms a certain thickness of colloidal heavy particle area. Not only can it effectively resist energy weapons, it can also defend against kinetic energy bombs.

The successive bombardment of the astonishingly powerful Raven Bomb and 6 mt50 Lanzel Thunderbolts caused blast damage and heat radiation to cause a very high load on the rhombus matrix of a certain block. Thus breaking the defense, causing the restraint device to be overloaded, and the rear 40mm cannon firing seemingly disorderly, has actually seriously damaged the restraint force field generator on the surface of the hull in this area, that is to say, before replacing the damaged restraint device, There will be a gap in the diamond-shaped matrix covering the entire hull. This situation is similar to the state of the "Morning Star".

Vikings and Mutalisks are very flexible. It is difficult to replace the restraint device damaged on the surface of the hull in a combat state, and the triangular warship was forced to do nothing. Only 6 small triangular cone aircraft can be released as a backup to reduce the pressure on the main ship. Then it broke through the smoky air battlefield at the maximum speed, and chased after the "Morning Star" that was speeding up and escaping.

The Pyramid battleship and its fighter group have the ability to match the enemy and the air force of the Zerg II race. Mi's light destroyer specifications, this scene really gave Tang Fang an unexpected and reasonable "surprise".

Sure enough, the entire universe is not as calm as it appears on the surface, but dark and treacherous. In those unknown areas hidden in the dark, there are really people, or forces, who can compete with him.

This is different from the previous situation when facing the Lancelot Guard Fleet in the Megall star system. At that time, the human and Zerg Air Force also fell into a hard fight when facing the "Silver Wheel", and even fell behind. In the end, because Dunbar Taylor rebelled and used the ground-based super-large-caliber heavy particle cannon to break through the defense of the "Silver Wheel" and kill Lancelot.

The shield of the "Wheel of Silver" comes from the ruins of Epsilon, which belongs to the wisdom of the ancestors. As for Lancelot's guard fleet, it looks majestic, but in fact, it is a four-faced pile of money piled up by a local rich man. , no matter plasma cannon, laser cannon, or quantum radar array that can perform wide-area scanning, these technological equipment represent the most cutting-edge science and technology, but there are still many technical difficulties that have not been overcome if we want to move from laboratory products to practical equipment Therefore, in Tang Fang's words, the guard fleet that the Young Duke is proud of is flashy, rich and willful.

But right now, these triangular warship forces that broke out halfway have truly mastered the craft of warships that surpass the current technological level.

Heavy-duty missiles equipped with fusion cores and diamond-shaped matrices; aerospace fighters equipped with honeycomb-shaped small-caliber laser launchers and rhombic-shaped matrices; integrated micro-carrier platforms, advanced warp interception equipment, ultra-high-power nuclear fusion plasma engines, and large-caliber lasers Triangular warships with weapons and large rhombus matrix;

From the above, it can be seen that this unknown force has at least the following technologies:

First, the miniaturization and high efficiency of laser weapons have successfully solved the problem of heat dissipation and core overload under high-frequency shooting.

Second, the miniaturization, practicality and multi-purpose of nuclear fusion technology.

Third, the very mature shield technology can be refined or simplified.

Fourth, advanced warp interception equipment can implement precise interception operations.

Fifth, the existence of the micro-carrier platform means that the internal space of the 170-meter-long warship takes up less space for each system module, with higher efficiency, and even the number of crew members is greatly reduced.

At this moment, Tang Fang stood in front of the battle console, staring at the battle images on the big screen of the bridge No. 2 in silence. He actually felt shocked deep down in his heart, but he knew very well that he had to show a calm side. Because only in this way can the nervousness of Claire and the others be soothed.

Encountered interception, the shield of "Aurora" was damaged, the enemy ships were chasing after him, and the technology was terrifying... I am afraid that no one would be happy in such a situation. (to be continued)
