Chapter 500 Defensive Counterattack (3)

This kind of redirection has a nickname in the organization, called "Big Mac". Its warhead is actually very small, which is a small fusion core. Once detonated, the high concentration of hydrogen and helium particles will produce a fusion reaction, which is powerful enough to compare For nuclear bombs, its propulsion system adopts a mixed fuel mode, which also takes up little space.

What really takes up space is the version diamond matrix and the system responsible for guiding tasks.

Compared with the conventional weapons of the current human countries, the "Big Mac" has a very high technological content, just like its nickname "Big Mac", which does not only refer to its size and weight, but also represents its high cost and high technology. content.

From the point of view of size alone, "Devil Bat" is only equivalent to the light-drive class warships of various countries' fleets, but its actual performance far exceeds that of conventional battleships.

At the moment when railguns dominate the main weapon systems of warships, the fact that the "Big Mac" can become one of the main gun-level weapons of the "Plutobat"-class destroyer is enough to show its power.

24 "Big Macs", as long as one hits the "Morning Star" itself, it can tear the hull of the ship and cause fatal injuries.

He couldn't understand, no matter what, what happened on the other side covered by the "Aurora".

How did Black 3 know that besides corruptors and flying dragons, Tang Fang also has disposable consumables such as explosive mosquitoes. Compared with the former, they are faster and more powerful, and they are waiting for a rabbit, a diamond-shaped matrix of "Big Mac" Just because it can barely withstand the lightning strike of mt50 Lanzel, doesn't mean it can also withstand the successive attacks of exploding mosquitoes.

"Morning Star"'s successful escape was like a loud slap in the face. Black 3 was very angry. He didn't know that Tang Fang didn't feel very well, at least he couldn't be happy. The "Big Macs" were killed.

This cost him nearly 2,000 gas. At the moment when the system resources are seriously shrinking, it makes people feel distressed.

Fortunately, the "Morning Star" has entered the asteroid's gravity circle, even if the enemy ship continues to launch redirection. It is also difficult to bypass the "Aurora" and directly threaten the main body of the battleship, unless the "Spirit Radiation" can penetrate asteroids tens of kilometers thick.

the other side. The combination of 20 flying dragons and 8 Viking fighters and 15 "Dark Moth" air-space fighters are also coming to an end. There are still 14 flying dragons and 5 Viking fighters. Although the last 4 "Dark Moth" are still in the corner Recalcitrant, it is only a matter of time before defeat is expected.

Considering the difference in the number of units between the two parties participating in the war, and referring to the immediate battle damage, the combat performance of the Wyvern and Viking fighters is extremely limited, even if they are slightly stronger than the "Dark Moth".

More than 30 kilometers ahead. A large number of Corruptors, 2 Ravens, and 15 Viking fighters formed an encirclement and suppression force less than 5 kilometers away from the fourth Netherbat-class destroyer.

The mt50 Lanzel flying thunders landed on the surface of the diamond matrix one after another, bursting out one after another.

Lessons learned from the past, the "Ghost Bat" turned its main gun and began to fight with the human and insect troops. On the one hand, they delayed their rush to help the "Morning Star", and on the other hand, they tried their best to weaken the opponent's effective strength.

The remaining three Pluto-class destroyers continued to move forward, pressing down on the "Morning Star" that was forced to land on the asteroid in a zigzag shape.

As an "Abyssal Knight", Black 3 never hesitates on the battlefield. Now that he has decided to use beheading tactics, he will not give up halfway. Tenacity and determination are the qualities that a general must possess.

Watch from afar. The size of the asteroid is not small, with a diameter of 100 kilometers. Because the main thruster and the first auxiliary thruster group of "Morning Star" have not resumed operation, the antimatter auxiliary thrusters alone cannot make a normal landing, so they can only use the method of forced landing Landed on the ridge of a large crater.

During the taxiing process, the star ring under the belly of the "Morning Star" was damaged for the second time, and most of the shields below the chassis disappeared. Fortunately, Emma set the forced landing location in advance through simulation calculations, so that the "Morning Star" The bow of the ship is just on the ridge of the crater. Together with the damaged star ring, the hull is supported, ensuring that the upper shield is set on the battleship like a half eggshell. to defend against threats from above.

In addition to the damage to the star ring at the bottom during the forced landing, the ship's electrical system, warp engine, and plasma storage tank were also damaged to varying degrees. Until the "Morning Star" came to a stop, more than a quarter of the subsystems on the bridge issued an alarm, and a few devices were directly paralyzed, caught fire, and gave off a burnt smell.

The lights on the ceiling flickered a few times and then resumed operation. The large screen No. 1 returned to normal from the blurry screen. In the slightly shaking screen, 3 Netherbat-class destroyers attacked with the momentum of Mount Tai.

Tang Fang did not rush to deploy troops to deal with the coming threat, but looked at both sides of the combat command platform and the equipment pool in front, and asked in a deep voice, "Is everyone alright?"

"without."

"fine."

"No problem..."

Claire, Yuffie and the others supported the equipment around them and stood up, responding to his question.

Crash landing is not a fun thing, since the invention of the aircraft, no one likes it.

"Damage control team, report casualties."

A crew member who had just got up from the ground in the equipment pool in front quickly pressed a few buttons on the console, turned around and reported back: "According to the information collected from various districts, only 8 people were slightly injured, and there were no serious injuries or deaths."

Only then did Tang Fang heave a long sigh of relief. Don't look at his calm face. In fact, it was all for Zhou Ai, You Fei and others. He is also a human being, and he will be afraid. Emma said that he is not in the way. Facing the forced landing operation.

"Stay well on the bridge."

Leaving this sentence behind, he turned around and walked towards the elevator behind him. Now that the "Morning Star" has landed safely on the asteroid, protected by "Aurora", there will be no accidents for a moment, and there will be no worries. It is also time to fight against this mysterious enemy. The battle is finally over.

He wanted to know where these people came from and why they killed him.

"Tang Fang, I'll go with you."

Howson crawled out from behind the weapon console, panting.

There is a bruise on his forehead, which was knocked against the corner of the console during the forced landing, which is funny and hysterical, like an irritated grizzly bear.

"Honestly stay on the bridge, this time is no better than before." After finishing speaking, he walked out the door without looking back.

In the past, when fighting against the Monya government, the various weapons of the human race were enough to crush the opponent, as long as they were not brain-dead. Without carelessness, the chance of casualties is very small, but today is different. That mysterious enemy has a battleship manufacturing process that far exceeds the current level of human technology, no matter whether it is a large or small laser cannon. It is still heavy guidance, which can easily kill ground units such as siege tanks and Goliath armed robots.

He didn't want his men to die in the battle. It was far better for them to stay in the ship than to go to the battlefield to cause trouble for him.

When the elevator was driving down, it received the scanning data obtained by the detectors arranged around the asteroid. Emma gathered these data together and carried out the most detailed mapping and modeling work to grasp the entire asteroid. Geographical environment and characteristics.

Judging from the infrared scanning image and spectrum analysis data sent by the detector, there is ice on the asteroid. Based on the shape of the edge, we can generally infer its origin. It should be that an asteroid or a comet belonging to a certain star system collided with something and broke into several pieces, and was not captured by a massive celestial body during the flight. Out of the star system, it became a low-speed wandering asteroid in deep space.

In addition to the asteroid data, the detector also obtained the latest movements of the three "Plutobats".

Perhaps because they knew that it was difficult to do anything in a short period of time, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of spare parts to improve the defensive power of the "Aurora" shield. After the three "Ghost Bats" flew close, they did not launch an attack immediately, but activated their auxiliary propellers. Slow down.

Tang Fang thought for a while, and quickly figured out the opponent's plan.

The mooring posture of the "Morning Star" made it impossible for them to bypass the "Aurora" shield to attack the hull itself in a high-altitude environment, and the army had to be dispatched. In the way of ground warfare, the gap between the edge of the shield and the ground of the asteroid is about 4 meters, to carry out a tough battle, or a landing battle.

After the "Morning Star" made an emergency landing, while Black 3 was disappointed, he was also faintly happy. Tang Fang used the asteroid as a cover to make up for the deficiencies in the shield, and was willing to be a shrinking turtle.

"madness!"

This is his comment to Captain Tang. Because judging from the current battle situation, that kid himself pushed himself to a dead end.

From the perspective of ordinary people. Hide and defend, waiting for the rescue of the Star Alliance Navy. This approach is very correct, but it is a pity that he got the wrong target. "Ghost Bat" not only carries air-space fighters like "Ghost Moth", but also a certain number of ground vehicles and an elite army.

Back then in the space environment, the reason why Black 3 ordered the five Hades-class destroyers to ignore the human and insect air forces and carry out uninterrupted attacks on the "Morning Star" was because Tang Fang would start the warp speed engine to escape, and planned to rely on speed The advantage is to catch up, and after the two sides meet the ship, they will launch a landing battle to capture the target alive.

Later, because the Netherbat-class destroyer that fell at the back was blown up by the air force of the human and Zerg races, knowing that the opponent had the capital to fight to the death, he chose to treat it cautiously and planned to use the "Big Mac" to solve the "Morning Star" , of course, this plan ended in failure.

Just when he couldn't figure out what means the opponent used to successfully intercept more than 20 "Big Macs", the "Morning Star" actually did an unexpected and expected thing---it made a forced landing on the on the asteroid.

As a result, it was impossible to turn on the warp drive and escape from the battlefield, and the "Morning Star" suddenly changed from a bird to a turtle. Since Captain Tang intends to hide and defend, the "Underworld Bat" naturally doesn't need to contain it anymore. It only needs to put down the ground troops, and then return to space to fight with those biological battleships, waiting for the moment when the "Morning Star" falls.

Black 3 has great confidence in its own ground forces. The "Morning Star" was refitted from the Charles Federation Lightning Python-class destroyer. There are more than 200 people at full strength. Excluding logistics and technical positions, the number of people who are truly capable of fighting is less than a hundred. Could it be that the elite army carried by the Bat-class destroyer can't handle a mere lightning python?

Indeed, at the beginning of the battle, the sudden arrival of the human and Zerg Air Force surprised him severely, and he also wondered their origin, because he couldn't figure it out, and he could only attribute it to the "Morning Star" except "Aurora". In addition to the shield, there is also a device that can make objects in a certain area around it invisible. In addition, the air force of the human and insect races belongs to the frigate of "Morning Star", and it can also perform collective jumps through another device. It's not an incomprehensible novelty. Black 3 knew that a silver-ringed Ypsilon relic could do it, and during the battle just now, he had personally seen a "Morning Star" hull with a similar structure.

As a "Morning Star Foundry", it's normal to deploy a frigate around the car, but you can't get the army to make a collective leap, right?

Ever since, Black 3 felt that he was sure to win, with the combat effectiveness of his own army. I'm afraid the battle here will be over before the Covenant Navy leaves the house.

Throughout the entire battle process, Captain Tang showed a strong ability to command on the spot. But he was so unlucky that he was listed as a target by the Lord.

The person the Lord wants to kill. No one has ever been able to survive, it has been like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.

As an "Abyssal Knight", he will not and will not allow himself to fail.

Loyalty and victory are the two most powerful words when he swears allegiance to the organization.

The fourth Netherbat-class destroyer, which was battling with the human and insect air forces in the distance, was gradually exhausted, and the escape speed of the heavy particles that formed the diamond matrix far exceeded the replenishment speed of the battleship. Even if the main gun is released again, it can deal a fatal blow to the Corruptor, but it will not be able to reverse the decline. After all the Moth-class aerospace fighters in the rear battlefield were wiped out, and 12 dragons and 4 Viking fighters joined the battle, the situation became even more serious. Seriously, the pilot could only try his best to drive the warship closer to the asteroid, hoping that the first three warships would lend a helping hand after they finished launching land units.

As a special warship mounted on the Hades-class aircraft carrier, the Hades-class destroyer can not help but deploy a micro-carrier platform, and is also equipped with a rapid delivery system for marines and vehicles.

Asteroids have low gravity. The three Netherbat-class destroyers easily descended to a low-altitude range, hovering less than 20 kilometers from the forced landing position of the "Morning Star".

Accompanied by fountain-like high-pressure airflows, a gap was opened in the center of the cabin near the tail of the triangular conical hull chassis. And expanding outward, the keel of the hull is surrounded by rows of marines in power armor.

The machinery used to fix their bodies inserted flat jet devices into the grooves on the back of the power armor, and then these marines were collectively airdropped, and with the help of the jet devices on their backs, quickly landed on the surface of the asteroid.

When the second batch of marines was air-dropped to the ground, the area in front of the projection cabin also opened to both sides after a high-pressure airflow was ejected.

Instead of dropping marines, a slender cone of light is projected inside the ship, and then. A combat vehicle descended at an extremely fast speed, changing from fast to slow at a distance of less than 5 meters from the ground. It landed firmly on the ground.

The equipment of the marines airdropped to the ground by the Hellbat-class destroyer is different from the conventional power armor of any country in the Hillenbel region, and it is also different from the battle armor of Black 3. The main body is more metallic and modular, a bit similar to the early models of Thor's Hammer power armor in "Halo", of course, the details are more rough.

Their full-face helmets are the most characteristic. The facial structure is not a mirror that can be opened and closed, but a blood-red mask made of different materials. There is a cross track in the center of the mask, and the bright red lens can move up, down, left, and right on the cross track. Sliding, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

As for weapons, there are two types, one is a light Gauss rifle with strong piercing ability, and the other is a portable 20mm caliber Gatling machine gun designed to deal with lightly armored vehicles.

There are three types of vehicles: one is a semi-enclosed air-cushioned combat vehicle, and the main gun is a laser weapon, which can be used for combat or transport marines.

The other is more sci-fi. It looks like a small mech for land combat. It is about 5 meters long and has two wings on the back. It can glide for a short distance and can also be used as a shield defense. The weapon is multi-purpose light guide, which is different from being able to load The 25mm caliber Gatling cannon with the same type of ammunition, and judging from the folding structure of the outer ends of the two arms of this small mech, it seems that it can also carry out hand-to-hand combat.

The last type of vehicle is very rare, only 6, mainly because they are too large, with a diameter of about 15 meters, and the appearance is like a tortoise shell with a cross slit in the middle. When the slit is opened, the four tortoise shells are upward. Lifting, like a metal umbrella, at this time, the propellers at the four corners can be ignited and lifted into the air, turning into a low-altitude aircraft.

When it lands on the ground and the slit is closed, the tortoise shell shrinks and stitches together, and a large-caliber turret rises in the center, while the track and suspension system pop up below, thus turning into a heavy tank.

In the organization that Black 3 belongs to, the code name of the above-mentioned type of power armor is "Evil Spirit", the air-cushion tank is "Black Fire", the broken-wing mecha is "Snake Eagle", and the tortoise tank is "Warden".

Nearly 300 Marines, plus 21 "Black Fires", 36 "Snake Eagles" and 6 "Wardens" were dropped on the asteroid, surrounded on three sides and flocked to the location of the "Morning Star".

Including Marine Corps soldiers, these ground combat forces basically have the ability to glide, and the marching speed is extremely fast in a low-gravity environment, and a distance of 20 kilometers can be reached in a short time.

After unloading the ground troops, the three Hellbat-class destroyers immediately increased the thrust of their engines, slowly lifted off, and moved to the fourth Hellbat-class destroyer, which was in a precarious situation.

The "Warden" is the largest and the heaviest among the ground vehicles, but because of its low-altitude flight capability and super long range, it is easy to slow down at a distance of 14km from the "Morning Star", which started the first ground battle. gun.

Unlike ordinary heavy tanks, the "Warden" main gun has a large caliber but a short bore, and its ammunition is not conventional shells, but fusion warheads filled with high-temperature plasma.

When the warhead fell, the surface of "Aurora" seemed to have a volcanic eruption. The rapidly expanding hot cloud stirred the mixed particles on the surface of the shield, forming waves of seven colors. (to be continued)
