Chapter 553 Warp Speed Intercepting Drones
At this time, there was a shaking under the feet, which was caused by an attack satellite not far away being blown up by the Corruptor, and a large number of debris hit the side of the ship.
When the displacement compensation system of the "Eternal Night" adjusted the position of the battleship and stabilized again, Piccolo Fred glanced at the virtual sand table on the combat command platform and found that the "Morning Star" had retreated to the G-25 area. [Dancing eBook]
"Huh?" He had a bad feeling in his heart, and immediately ordered the bridge staff to display the latest movement of the "Morning Star" on the No. 2 big screen, and then found a suspicious situation.
A gap was cracked in the center of the cylindrical shelter on both sides of the bow of the "Morning Star", and two rows of high-pressure gas were sprayed out, and then peeled off from the hull, and the tail thrusters of the two missile-like flying devices were ignited and shot out in the void A { 3w. neon light rushed to the distance at an extremely fast speed.
After a while, the flying device stopped hundreds of kilometers away from the "Morning Star", the propellers turned off, the shell of the projectile cracked in an orderly manner, stood up like an open umbrella, and slowly rotated.
Through the image magnified countless times by the optical camera, you can see the flowing silver light lines of the "umbrella handle", as well as the faint blue e character on the umbrella surface.
"It's actually two Ypsilon devices!" Piccolo Fred was taken aback.
At this moment, the intelligence officer reported another situation: "General, a large-scale space-time oscillation has been detected. It should be a warp speed interception device similar to a torque regulator and an inverse curvature scrambling system."
"Warp interception device?"
Bick Fred scanned the virtual sand table, noticed the coordinates of the two Ypsilon devices, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He understood... That kid actually wanted to intercept the first fleet of the Evil Night Army.
Not to mention how he learned about the transition path of the First Fleet, this battle plan alone is shocking. "Morning Star" actually wanted to intercept nearly a thousand warships of the First Fleet by itself. Is that boy surnamed Tang crazy? Even with the warp speed interception equipment of the Ipshidragon, what will the "Morning Star" use to fight the First Fleet?
The First Fleet has nearly a thousand warships, even if they are intercepted, there will be a period of "stiffness". so what? The group of biological battleships is held back by numerous space-based defense facilities, garrison fleets, and the Tulip Ship. The bow cannon of the Morning Star is powerful, but facing thousands of battleships, if it is allowed to attack freely, it can sink dozens of ships at most. This is the limit, once the ships of the First Fleet regain their ability to operate. One can imagine what will happen to those waiting for it.
Reality didn't give him much time to think. With the rapid increase of signal sources on the ship's warp sensor display, afterimages flashed one after another in the dark void of G-25 area. forced out of virtual space,
The emp shock wave overloaded the equipment in the ship and temporarily entered a paralyzed state.
Small and medium-sized warships such as Sea Dog-class frigates and Seahorse-class destroyers have weak shielding effects against strong electromagnetic pulses, and the portholes are completely dark. It's like a coffin.
Manatee-class heavy assault ships, seal-class heavy interceptors, sea lion-class cruisers and other battleships with better security systems have portholes and indicator lights that turn on and off, like haunted ghost ships.
A large hole was dented in the "Aurora" shield on the bow of the "Morning Star", and the wrath of the stars was aroused again, like a spewing volcano. The particle beam drew a long blue and rainbow road, piercing through a sea lion-class heavy cruiser and two seahorse-class destroyers along the way, and finally blasted the bow of a manatee-class heavy assault ship, before it disappeared after a few flashes. trace. The wreckage of the battleship overturned to one side while the flames were transpiring, leaving behind.
The streamer flashed again in the distance several kilometers in front of Ypsilon intercepting the drone, and another battleship formation was forced out of the virtual space. temporarily paralyzed. They are battleship battle formations composed of Walrus-class battleships, Sea Lion-class cruisers and other main battleships, with a total of 400 ships.
The last one to appear was the Poseidon-class aircraft carrier "The Messenger of Doom" belonging to the First Fleet of the Nightmare Legion and its combat escort formation.
Dupont Cataland is a white man in his 50s, with a sharp face and calm and wise eyes, even though the car was forced out of the virtual space and the battleship was paralyzed. Reading the full text of the latest chapter did not show any fear or nervous expression, which made people doubt whether he was a person or a statue sitting on the captain's seat, and he was able to ignore the crisis.
Although "The Messenger of Doom" is a main aircraft carrier. The safety protection measures for electromagnetic pulse are in place, and the "hard straight" time will not be longer than medium-sized warships such as the Manatee-class heavy assault ship and the Young Sea Lion-class light cruiser, but as the flagship of a fleet, it is naturally the most vulnerable to hostile battleships. Special attention to firepower.
Everyone knows that killing the command unit of a fleet is far more cost-effective than destroying some capital ships.
In stark contrast to him, the bridge staff, including first officer Hatherine Kagome, were all pale and bewildered by the scene in front of them.
Who would believe that a thousand-class fleet can be intercepted by only one destroyer?
According to common sense, if you want to intercept a fleet like the First Fleet of the Eye Army, you must first find out the fleet's transition path and the coordinates of the end point, and then you need dozens of interceptor ships to form a warp interception line.
Based on the battlefield situation of "Mubarak", Tang Fang and his gang simply do not have the ability to set up a warp interception line, and the distance from the warp interception net outside the sixth planet to the third planet "Arumega" is very short. Generally speaking, unless the warp speed interception line is set up in advance, it is impossible to force a thousand-class fleet sailing at an ultra-low warp speed out of the virtual space, causing a war that affects the entire ship. The emp hit the storm and formed such a big strategic advantage.
Some people looked at the battleships tumbling away in the lingering flames, wondering if they would end up like that.
More people turned their attention to the two warp speed interceptors on the periphery of the battleship cluster.
"What's that? It doesn't look like human creation."
"Look at that character, this... this should be something from the Epsilon people."
"Two Ypsilon warp interceptors of more than 20 meters can actually force a conventional fleet out of the virtual space. This...is too powerful."
The first mate, Hatherine, looked at Dupont Catalander who was silent, and immediately gave an order to the ship officer: "Tell the carrier air wing to attack immediately, and must hold the 'Morning Star'."
The energy system, power system and part of the ship's electrical equipment of the "Misfortune Messenger" failed, but the hangar, dock and other modules were in order to deal with emergencies such as interception. Adopting an independent energy supply mode, the "Skyhawk" class aerospace fighters will not be affected by EMP shock waves, and can conduct emergency operations to buy time for the fleet to resume operations.
"General...General..."
After giving the order according to the emergency plan, she looked at the captain's seat again, wondering why the always calm and experienced commander lost his mind in such a tense situation. It doesn't suit who he is.
"I'm wondering... what the hell is that kid planning."
"'Morning Star' is indeed a powerful battleship, a comprehensive combat unit that combines defense, attack, and interception. Its value can even be compared to a fleet. But value is one thing, and the role it can play on the battlefield It is another matter. For evenly matched battles, if it participates in the battle, it will naturally be the only magic weapon for victory. However, in the current battlefield environment of the size of the group fleet, it will not have the effect of one ship determining the outcome. Like that stealth warship. It can affect a local battlefield, but it can’t sweep thousands of troops. It still needs many biological warships as the main offensive force to subvert the 'Mubarak' line of defense."
"If I'm not mistaken, the main gun of the 'Morning Star' cannot operate continuously. There must be a period of charging time between two shots. Without the main gun, the 200mm rail gun that comes with the Lightning Python class destroyer alone is not enough to deal with it. The fleet poses a threat. Also, what does he mean by sending those two triangular warships to the other side? Sniping the battleship battle formation of the Second Fleet?"
"The battle has been going on so far. Do you still think that kid came to 'Mubarak' looking for death because he was full?"
Hatherine shook her head: "Those pirates, and we all seriously underestimated his strength."
Du Pont said: "Not only us, but also the Star Alliance, and His Majesty the Emperor, and even the Monya Empire who knows him best."
"With his ingenuity, would he be reckless to send only one warship 'Morning Star' to intercept an entire conventional fleet? Does he think that the Epsilon shield can withstand the indiscriminate bombing of thousands of warships? ? What is he thinking? Or what is he planning?"
His thinking is similar to that of Piccolo Fred. They both think that Captain Tang, who can push the "Mubarak" defenders to this point, is not an arrogant person. But a cunning and ferocious dragon.
Hetherine said: "In any case, there are nearly 500 'Skyhawks' and a small number of independently powered weapons holding down the 'Morning Star', unless he orders the biological battleship to abandon the attack on the final line of defense and instead attack us. This is a useless move."
According to the calculations of the damage control system, the "Bargainer of Doom" and some large ships will resume action in 4 minutes, and the weapon system will also go online in 7 minutes. In such a short period of time, it is impossible for the "Morning Star" to have What a big deal.
She doesn't believe that 500 aerospace fighters and some capital ships' independent power supply weapons can't hold back the opponent's footsteps. If the "Bargainer of Doom" can't survive the disaster, it can only show that they have a bad luck.
Despite what Dupont Catalander said, she still thinks that the next attack target of the "Morning Star"'s bow main battery will be the "Doombringer" most likely, because if it were her, she would definitely do so .
Dupont Cataland does not agree with her above statement, although it is indeed true from a logical point of view, he does not think that the kid will not count these situations, judging from his daring to attack "Mubarak", That's a guy who doesn't follow the usual path. Obviously, things like "logic" don't apply to him.
"Hatherine?"
"What's up?"
"If an irrelevant person asks you how much you earn in a month, how do you answer?"
Hetherine thought about it, and said honestly, "5000sld."
The meanings of sld and myd are similar, except that the former represents the currency of the Sulu Empire and the latter represents the currency of the Monya Empire.
"Since even you understand the importance of hiding your strength, let alone a little fox like him."
DuPont has seen the fleet's financial expenditure statement more than once. Hetherine's salary is deducted from personal income tax, insurance, pension and other personal contributions, and it is actually received. Higher amount of noble allowance.
Her eyes widened, and she stammered, "You...you mean...he...has he got any tricks yet?"
Biological battleship, biological fortress. 'Aurora' shield, Wrath of the Stars, stealth warship, Ypsilon warp speed interception drone, unknown golden armor combat unit... Just take out one of these, it is enough for the major forces to compete for the first place Bloody baby. Could it be that this is not his full strength?
"Can't you see it?"
"What can't you see?"
Dupont Cataland said with a sullen face: "He wants to show his prestige, and the defenders of 'Mubarak' are the most suitable objects to sacrifice the flag. In other words, his goal of this battle is to destroy the entire Eye Army. Erase it from the world!"
Hetherine's expression became very exciting, like a piece of "nine-layer skin" steamed with rice, leeks, gardenia and other ingredients, emotions such as disbelief, astonishment, panic, bewilderment, etc. were stuck on her face layer by layer .
She never expected that guy's ambition to be so great.
The 500 aerospace fighters are like worker bees leaving the hive and starting to work. They fly out from the 10 ports on the surface of the ship, like a torrent of steel passing through the gaps between the ships, heading for the "Morning Star" at the front, and the two Iraqis. Psilon warp intercepted the drones swarming away.
The scene is spectacular. The recruits who have just joined the army, or the hot-blooded teenagers in front of the TV will feel hot and excited when they see it, and they will be proud of the strength of their country's army.
Although it is not their country, but the country of the rich and powerful!
Hetherine is past the age of passion, and besides, she is a woman, not a simple mind. A vigorous male animal. Of course, she is not a woman with big breasts and no brains... Her breasts are not big. The hair is not long either.
At this moment, she felt that those fighter planes were more like a group of moths flying to the flames than any air combat lions or sky eagles.
What's even more tragic is that the person who sent them to die was none other than her!
She thought about it and thought it was normal. Only by sacrificing some people will others win the chance to live.
It's a pity that the members of the Air and Space Fighter Combat Wing don't know what their superiors think. Of course, even if they know, they are powerless to resist.
The first thing to change is Ypsilon's warp speed interception drone. A circle of faint blue light sprinkled from the edge of the canopy, and a spindle-shaped shield spread out on the surface. The large-caliber cannons used by aerospace fighters for long distances were bounced off it, and even the missiles could not hurt it in the slightest.
It is really speechless that the 20-meter-long warp interception drone is equipped with an energy shield.
But in the next second, something even more speechless happened. They not only have energy shields, but also have attack capabilities. The crystal structure at the tip of the umbrella will shoot out a series of slender pulsed lasers every second. The space fighters had no time to dodge, and they exploded into colorful fireworks one after another, as bright as neon lights.
Everyone on the "Belief of Doom" was stunned, and Hetherine looked at the big screen blankly: "Then... what is that thing?"
"I'm guessing...they're two drones, Ypsi Dragon combat/interceptor drones," DuPont said.
Although his guess was not entirely correct, it was not far from the truth.
These two drones not only have interception and attack capabilities, but also have reconnaissance capabilities. They can capture and measure the weak warping effects of virtual space like warp probes. The range of action is quite wide, not to mention Tang Fang When the attack was launched, several protoss detectors had been installed near the warp speed interception network on the sixth planet of "Mubarak". The data is aggregated to the "Morning Star" combat command platform.
The "Cupids" of the "Lost Land" team and the joint restoration of dozens of Ypsilon ruins, which can be installed on the "Morning Star" by Tang Fang, are not ordinary goods.
For example, these two warp speed interception drones are comprehensive aircraft that integrate warp speed detection, interception, and close-in defense capabilities. They are also relatively advanced equipment in the Ypsilon weapon system, and they are used to deal with human spaceflights. Fighter, one can imagine what the situation will be.
The "Doombringer" is about 40 meters longer than the "Eternal Night", and it is equipped with a total of 480 "Skyhawk", "Warhawk", and "Falcon" class attack aerospace fighters, as well as other equipment such as communication relays. Auxiliary aircraft such as drones, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, unmanned fighter jets, and engineering tug boats.
In order to delay the Morning Star, Hatherine released all 480 attacking aerospace fighters in one go, of which 48 Skyhawk fighters from 2 squadrons were sent to deal with warp speed interception drones.
The pilots thought it was a good job, at least better than chewing on the tough bones of the "Morning Star".
Facts proved that they were very wrong. In less than a minute, all 48 Skyhawk fighters were destroyed by the pulsed laser beam of the warp interceptor drone, and none were spared.
The equipment used by human nations to intercept warships sailing at a warp speed, except for the warp speed interception network built by space-based warp speed interception equipment attached to the edge of the star system, only light interceptors and heavy interceptors in the warship system remain. Even the smallest morning mist-class light interceptor produced by the Republic of Date in the series of interceptors in the Hillenbel region is more than 130 meters.
However, the current Ypsilon intercepts drones at a warp speed of only more than 20 meters, and also has shields and offensive capabilities. How can this prevent Sulu Empire officers like Lu Yongjun and Hetherine from being shocked and terrified. (to be continued...)
