Chapter 825: Khanos Naval Battle (5)
No one knows why His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been reluctant to order a breakout when things have developed to this point.
That old man, what was he thinking? Concerned about the lives of his subordinates, unwilling to see his Skywalker Guard disappear under the tide of history, or are there other considerations?
The "Mirror Light" has two bridges in total. One is a conventional bridge, which is in charge of the captain, and cooperates with the staff to carry out tasks such as navigation and combat. The other bridge is a backup bridge, which is usually vacant, and only the Skywalker Guards encounter it. During the war, Henrietta will arrive at the backup bridge so that he can grasp the battlefield trends in real time and make strategic decisions.
Given the current situation, Henrietta certainly wouldn't have the heart to sit in the viewing cabin and drink tea... In fact, even if he had the heart, Gilcott would carry him to the backup bridge.
Compared with the conventional bridge, the space here is narrower, there is not much equipment, and there are not many staff members. Except for the monitor in front of the equipment pool, from the ceiling to the four walls, and then to the floor, it seems to be transparent and can be intuitively viewed Seeing the scene outside is roughly similar to the embedded panoramic projection of the "Seraphim".
The lights in the hall are very dim, only the flashing images on the monitor cast criss-cross light and shadow on people's faces.
Gilcott's complexion was very bad, as was his eldest son Oscar, and the expressions of Henrietta's other three cousins were also worrying, a little pale with little blood visible.
The staff in the equipment pool are all juniors of the old-school forces, and they dare not speak. They just frequently look at the few people sitting around the combat command platform from the corner of their eyes.
The news of Melore's death was like a dagger full of poison, piercing into the bodies of several princes and close juniors, slowly eroding their hearts, and there was a kind of continuous pain.
He is not a person with outstanding ability, but he is an admirable person.
Henrietta said that he was willful, but in fact it was not a reproach, but a kind of brother's doting on his younger brother, because Melore has been so willful since he was a child, like a real man. Dare to say no to unfair things instead of becoming a calculating, slick and cunning politician.
Smartness is a gift, kindness is a choice.
His princely status. And Henrietta's love for him allowed him to be a man without any scruples.
In fact, by doing what Mellor did, he might not be fulfilling Henrietta's childhood dream and turning it into what they once dreamed of. Admire people.
Forced by the situation and unable to control herself, Henrietta had to shoulder the burden of the regent,
To become a qualified politician, only in this way can he hold up a sky for Mellor, so that he can grow to his heart's content, without being weighed down by those tangible or intangible things.
Gilcott and others were saddened by Mellor's death. He was actually even more sad, but he was used to hiding his emotions. Don't let sadness be written on your face. And... Melore has been implementing his outlook on life and values until his death, which is very admirable. If the two of you change your life, you should do the same...
Although he left a little suddenly, did not say goodbye to his children, and left some meaningful words, but he was able to complete his life journey like a real man without too many regrets and guilt, and it was worth it.
With this in mind, Henrietta behaved more calmly, not as emotionally as Gilcott, Oscar and others. Treat Giuliano's betrayal and Rothgar's siege more rationally.
Political struggle itself is the art of betrayal and compromise, and war is the continuation of politics. Therefore, he was not surprised that someone in the camp of the old forces betrayed, just like he also installed his own people in Cabreto, such as Jacob and his subordinates who were on duty at the missile base.
He was just a little surprised that it was Giuliano who picked up the dagger and stabbed it into his vest. It's a bit ironic that it's still at the special moment of Melore's death...
Elena is not here, went to the guest room to rest.
Although the girl was safe and sound, Melore's death put a lot of pressure on her. She was exhausted both physically and mentally. Touching the scene makes people fall in love, which only adds to the sadness, so Kylinia takes her away, leaving Tang Lin and Bai Hao behind.
"Father, the reconnaissance ship sent a warning that Servis's 'Black Steel' is approaching Kudelia's 'Ye Liuli'."
As the eldest son of Gilcott, Oscar is also the number one powerful figure in the United Kingdom of Turanx, but here, he can only play the role of a liaison officer, reporting the war situation to Henrietta and others.
Gilcott lowered his head and scanned the electronic sand table, frowning and asked, "Is the channel still open?"
Oscar shook his head and said dejectedly, "Not yet."
Due to the different specifications of the warships and the different positions of the battlefield, the distance between the "Mirror Light" and the "Ye Liuli" is relatively far. There are more battleships in the battleship, and fewer Skywalker Guard battleships.
There are 300 warships under Giuliano's command, which is more than twice the number of non-rebellion warships. Although the Skywalker Guard and non-rebellion warships encountered a surprise attack at the beginning, the losses were a bit heavy. Later, relying on the performance gap of the warships, it gradually reversed The situation prevailed, but under the oppression of the Sons of War and the Lionheart King's independent fleet, they were unable to defeat the rebels in one go. Today, there are still about 130 warships still capable of fighting.
The news of Mellor's death hit Gilcott, Oscar and others very hard, but it also reminded them.
Melor was dead and could not be brought back to life, and his beloved daughter was still suffering physical and mental torture on the battlefield, and the "Ye Liu Li" suffered heavy damage and was in danger of being destroyed.
They can't save Melor, at least they must save Kudelia's life - this is the idea of everyone present. So Gilcott ordered to expand a channel to take the "Ye Liuli" into the defense core of the Skywalker Guard, and then transfer her to the "Mirror".
Facts have proved that this matter is not easy. Even if the "Mirror Light" is also invested in the plan as a force, it still cannot quickly open the airspace between the "Ye Liuli" and rescue Kudelia.
Perhaps aware of their plans, while Servis's "Black Steel" was on the battlefield, Rothgar sent another fleet to snipe at the "Mirror Light" to thwart the rescue plan.
"Tell Antley to activate the original reactor, add zero elements, and switch the shipboard plasma cannon to mixed mode. Even if it is forced, you must break through the enemy's defenses and rescue Kudelia."
Antley is the captain of the "Mirror Light" and a son-in-law of Henrietta. There is more than enough stability, but not enough opportunity to change. If it is a balance of power, you can continue to accumulate advantages through conservative and meticulous operations, and eventually expand to victory. But in the face of the current embarrassing situation, it might be a good choice for him to command the breakout battle. If he sails against the current and advances bravely in the rapids, he will inevitably be hindered by his personality flaws.
Yes, Antley lacks the courage and courage to break the boat.
In fact, not only Antley is lacking, but also Oscar.
"Father, isn't it a bit risky to start the primary reactor in advance? Once the zero elements are consumed too much, it will definitely have an adverse effect on the mirror light system."
Same as Antley. Oscar's thoughts are also very delicate. Many times, people who have a good relationship with the two of them will smile and ask if they were twin brothers in their previous lives, otherwise why their personalities are so similar.
"I'm worried... this is a conspiracy deliberately set up by Rothgar, just to force us to consume a large amount of reserve energy and functions, so that we can gain the upper hand in the subsequent firefights."
The faces of the princes next to him changed slightly when they heard the words, and they nodded slightly, expressing agreement with Oscar's worries.
Gilcott frowned and looked at Henrietta.
The old man didn't speak, just squinted his eyes. Nodded slightly.
"Let's send the order." Gilcott said: "Melor is dead, we can't just watch Kudelia go with him."
Oscar clenched his hand on the edge of the combat command platform, nodded, and connected to the first bridge. Deliver Gilcott's order to Antley.
It can be seen that the activation of the original reactor is a big project, and the resource management team, ship officer, gunner, logistics quick response team, engineering team... are all busy.
Tang Lin originally focused on the surrounding environment, carefully observing the battle between the "Mirror Light" and its frigate and the rebels under Giuliano's command, silently making comparisons, imagining that if the "Angel" only relied on those two medium-caliber Positron Cannon. How long will it take to kill those warships blocking the way and clear out a space corridor leading to the "Ye Liuli".
It wasn't until Gilcott mentioned the terms "primary reactor" and "mirror light system" that his interest was aroused, and he asked Henrietta, who was squinting at the battle scene, "What is a proto-reactor, mirror system?" What kind of thing is the photosystem?"
He originally thought that the reason why Henrietta called the "Mirror Light" was because the light curtain formed by the starlight shield looked like a bright mirror from a distance, but now it seems that there should be something else It is said that Henrietta named it "Mirror Light" because of the existence of the mirror light system.
Bai Hao was also surprised, and turned to look at the old man, waiting for his explanation.
"Actually, 'Apophis' and 'Mirror Light' have similar origins. They are both half-relic warships cast on the basis of the wreckage of the Ypsilon battleship, supplemented by human technology...Of course, they are not Perhaps compared with the real relic warships like the "Angel" and "Seraphim", although most of the aerospace technology mastered by human beings is copied from the Epsilon, after all, the time to enter the universe civilization is still short, Man-made systems cannot be perfectly integrated with Ypsilon equipment. However, this semi-relic warship is still the top warship in human society."
Tang Lin and Bai Hao nodded to express their understanding.
Henrietta continued: "The semi-relic warship, as the name suggests, part of it is the remains of Ypsilon, and part of it is a human creation. The original reactor and the galaxy shield that Gilcott said are both parts of the relic of Ypsilon... Let's put it this way, the 'Mirror Light' was originally a severely damaged Ypsilon battleship, but some equipment was still usable, and after artificial repairs, it became what it is now, and can be used by humans."
"The so-called primary reactor is actually a functioning Ipsilon zero-element reactor. Whether it is energy processing and conversion efficiency or output power, it is far superior to man-made equipment. It can be used to overclock the engine thrust of a battleship, and it can also be used to Supply weapon systems, shorten the recharge time of energy weapons, or strengthen the galaxy shield."
"As for the mirror light system... perhaps in the near future, you will be able to see its power with your own eyes."
Henrietta's tone was very calm, as if she was describing an unimportant matter. But Tang Lin and Bai Hao, who were the audience, were very shocked.
They are not powerful enough to shock the "Mirror Light", because no matter whether it is the "Angel", "Seraph", or the "Angel", or "Nightmare". It is not worse than "Mirror Light", on the contrary, it is stronger.
It's just that they are all complete Ypsilon battleships, and because of Tang Fang's existence, there is no need for drastic modifications. can be manipulated by humans.
But for relatively unspecial people like Henrietta and Psalmwell, they don't have a treasure trove like the "Lost Land". Last year's zero turnover is a good reference.
It is difficult to obtain the ruins of the Ypsilon battleship. Is there any equipment in the ruins that can be used? It is a test of rp and face.
Under such a harsh premise, and with the current level of human science and technology, it is conceivable how difficult it is to combine man-made equipment with Ipsilon equipment to turn precious waste products into a space battleship that can soar in space. difficult things.
Not to mention that the renovation project is very risky, and it is likely that a lot of manpower, material resources and time will be invested, but the result is that the bamboo basket fetches water in vain. Hardware conflict. been artificially damaged.
Tang Lin and Bai Hao would not be surprised if people armed with God came up with this kind of thing, because they have seen all kinds of counterfeit technologies in their hands. If Praisewell came up with such a thing, such as the "Apophis", the two would not be surprised, because His Majesty the King has the technical support provided by Mr. J.
Henrietta is different. The old-school forces and the Armed Forces of God are neither friends nor foes, so the other party will naturally not provide them with technical assistance. In such a situation, it is really surprising and shocking that the old man's technical team can transform a warship like the "Mirror Light".
Think about it. As the head of the old school, Henrietta has a profound heritage.
A magnetic levitation chair that can prop up an energy shield and turn into a small shuttle; a "Mirror Light" refitted from the wreckage of the Ypsilon battleship, and then think of the spar that was handed over to Tang Fang at the beginning . And that conversation.
Tang Lin always felt that there was a secret hidden in Henrietta's heart, which might be related to the ruins of Ypsilon... Moreover, the Olipold family had too many quantum teleporters, not only from the new faction, but also from the old faction.
Henrietta didn't know what Tang Lin was thinking, and continued: "Although the 'Apophis' and the 'Mirror Light' are both semi-relic warships. But the focus of the two sides is different... To be precise, the basis of transformation is different. The Ipsilon part of the 'Mirror Light' is mainly internal equipment such as the primary reactor, the galaxy shield generator, and the mirror light system. The 'Apophis' is different, and its transformation basis is more external... ...To put it simply, if the 'Mirror' is a holy shield, the 'Apophis' is a magic sword."
"The holy shield and the magic sword..." Tang Lin nodded if he realized something. Henrietta introduced it in detail. Except for the mirror system, it perfectly answered his doubts. The words just now all show that after Melore's death, the old man has completely disregarded them, regarded them as his own, and gave the era to the young people.
It's really great...
The hero who died in Mellor, Henrietta is also a hero, just like what Tang Fang said, there are many kinds of heroes, visible, invisible, famous, unknown, and those who play big swords , the one holding the pen...
Bai Hao didn't think too much. After listening to the discussion on the Holy Shield and the Demon Sword, he turned his head to the big screen.
While a few people were talking, the primary reactor of the "Mirror Light" was already online, and the shipboard plasma weapon system was like a shot of adrenaline, and its combat power more than doubled.
In the past, it was powered by artificial reactors, and the output efficiency of high-energy plasma was relatively low. The interval between two naval gun attacks was relatively long, and its power was also inferior to large space-based plasma cannons. After all, one is in shipboard mode and the other is in base station mode.
It is different now, there is almost no recharging time, the attack speed of the plasma cannon is equal to the replacement speed of the cooling core, and its power is even closer to the medium-caliber positron cannon used by the "Angel" for self-defense, which is only faster than the "Angel of Quantum" "" has a weaker plasma cannon.
When Henrietta told Tang Lin the difference between the "Apophis" and the "Mirror Light", Bai Hao witnessed the heavy plasma cannon on the bow blasting the belly armor of an improved archbishop-class heavy cruiser. Explosion directly destroys the energy core and power system, sending the rebels inside to the west.
The optimization direction of the improved archbishop-class heavy cruiser is not the weapon system, nor the power system, but the armor and shield. In the face of energy weapons, the current magnetic shield has limited effect, but the armor of the improved archbishop-class heavy cruiser is really comparable to that of a battleship, not to mention the important parts of the ship's belly, which are generally reinforced However, at this moment, it was pierced by the plasma beam of the "Mirror Light".
Doesn't this mean that even an improved battleship can't withstand a blow from the main gun of the "Mirror Light"? (To be continued.)
ps: Have you seen Old Paoer, Mellor is. As for Henrietta's prototype...
