One Thousand Two Hundred and Thirty-Nine, Whatever Method You Use

The Leishan accelerated at full speed, and the alien warship did the same. Although the two warships were facing each other, their flight directions were exactly the same. As a result, the encounter was greatly delayed. It was almost two hours later that the enemy ship was barely within range.

This period of time was unexpectedly long, so long that Ye Han was very dissatisfied, but he knew very well that this was the limit of the Leishan.

The speed of the warship is not impossible to increase, but once the acceleration exceeds the design limit, the warship structure will be irreversibly damaged, and the reaction chamber of the thruster will also be damaged by the micro-nuclear explosion that exceeds the limit.

If it was a war related to the survival of mankind, Ye Han would definitely not mind exchanging the warship for victory, but now it was just an insignificant pursuit battle, and he would naturally not risk chasing the enemy ship at the risk of destroying the warship.

In Ye Han's mind, today's pursuit must be a risk-free battle. If there is a possibility of endangering the Leishan, he would rather give up the pursuit and let the enemy ship escape.

It is under this premise that the Leishan brought the enemy ship within range.

At this time, the speed difference between the two sides was not too big, and the Leishan was only a little faster than the enemy ship.

This was not the speed limit of the Leishan. To be more precise, as long as the Leishan had fuel, it could continue to accelerate. The reason for the speed limit was that the reaction chamber had limited bearing capacity and that the warship could not fully accelerate at such a long distance.

For example, from the Earth to Jupiter, the warship accelerated in the first half, but after half or two-thirds of the voyage, the warship had to slow down and prepare for entering Jupiter's orbit in advance.

The first to fire was still the laser cannon, and the three laser turrets fired frequently, and the laser beams never left the enemy ship.

The alien warship was also not ambiguous, and the thin light kept greeting the Leishan.

Because the distance was still far, no matter whether it was the laser or the thin light, it would not hurt to hit the enemy ship.

Ye Han was not interested in this meaningless artillery battle. After only a short while, he fired smoke bombs impatiently. Several smoke bombs flew in front of the Leishan, and after exploding, they formed several dark smoke screens, which blocked the Leishan tightly.

The smoke screen did not distinguish between friend and foe, blocking the aliens, and naturally blocked the Leishan. However, the designer had thought of this long ago. When the Leishan fired smoke bombs, it also fired two special missiles. After flying out of the range of the smoke screen, it flew along the sides of the warship.

This thing is a pair of small satellites with engines. It has few functions, but it is very useful.

Then Ye Han used the old method again,

using radar to locate the target and using artillery shells and missiles to launch a sneak attack.

However, the situation was once again beyond Ye Han's expectations. Even if the line of sight was blocked by the smoke screen, the aliens' firepower was still accurate, but they just couldn't penetrate the smoke screen.

This situation caught Ye Han's attention. He speculated that there were two possibilities. One was that the aliens calculated the position of the warship based on the speed and trajectory of the Leishan; the other was that the enemy ship behind informed the enemy ship in front of the Leishan of its position... No, there was another possibility, which was to infer the position of the Leishan through the trajectory of the shells!

Ye Han took the time to pay attention to the rear. The enemy ship that was left behind by the Leishan was still struggling to catch up. In addition, the "abandoned pawn" actually gave up escaping and turned around and was flying back.

So he pointed to the asteroid No. 4 and said, "It ran back just after we left. There must be something wrong with this place! He Lu, write it down, and we will go again later."

After that, he turned his eyes to the front again: "Let's move too."

"Yes!" He Lu agreed and made arrangements. The side engine on the port side suddenly exerted force, pushing the Leishan to the right.

The enemy ship's firepower still fell in the original position, and Ye Han was relieved immediately.

Even if the enemy ships informed each other, it would definitely not be so timely. It was enough to understand this: "Have you figured out the pattern of the enemy ships?"

"No, it's just a small-scale irregular maneuver." He Lu said.

"Calculate the probability, the electromagnetic cannon will fire five or seven bursts, you can do it yourself." Ye Han said.

Small-scale maneuvers are easy to deal with, even if there is no pattern, the possibility of hitting is relatively high.

As for large-scale maneuvers, hehe, the aliens don't dare to do it at all, because both sides are within the effective range of the opponent, and the change of direction must be frequent, otherwise it will give the enemy a chance to hit.

Some people may think that variable speed linear motion is also a way.

This can indeed avoid most shells, but it can never avoid missiles, so there is a reason why the aliens fly like this.

After receiving the order, He Lu calculated for a while, and after getting the results, he fired nearly 20 electromagnetic shells at the enemy ship in one breath, which far exceeded Ye Han's expectations.

However, Ye Han also saw the calculation data. The hit rate of the electromagnetic cannon seven bursts was only 32%, but the current hit rate was 76%.

If more shells are added, the hit rate will be improved, but the improvement is relatively small. The hit rate of forty shells is only 88%.

Eighteen shells are the balance point between the number of shells and the hit rate. Instead of firing forty shells at once, it is better to split 88% into two 76%.

After the electromagnetic gun opened fire, Leishan moved a little further to the lower left to avoid the enemy ship from noticing its true position.

Before the warship arrived, Ye Han found that the enemy ship's movement trajectory suddenly changed. It no longer maneuvered in the previous way, but quickly evaded to the left and flew out of the range of the shells in one breath.

Ye Han almost popped his eyes out: "They saw it, they must have seen the shells!"

It's so painful, even the shells of the electromagnetic gun can be seen? What's wrong with this eye?

Luo Qi considered his tone and said, "It's so dark? You can't see it, right?"

Ye Han's face became more serious: "You mean, the aliens have radar?"

"I think so." Luo Qi said.

"Impossible." He Lu retorted, "If they have radar, how could they not know where we are?"

"Don't argue." Ye Han waved his hand to interrupt, "I don't care about this. It's better for the enemy ship to dodge the shells. He Lu, bombard it hard and drive it aside."

He Lu immediately understood: "Yes!"

The target of the Leishan is not the enemy ship, but the escaping alien spaceship. If the enemy ship can be forced away, why bother to fight the aliens?

Ye Han estimated that the enemy would not realize this negligence for a while, and planned to seize this opportunity to get rid of the enemy ship. The problem is that the speed difference between the two sides is not much. It will take a lot of time to catch up with the enemy ship, not to mention surpassing the enemy ship.

At this time, the asteroid No. 4 is already a million kilometers away. If the stalemate continues, it is unclear when it will catch up with the target.

Ye Han gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "He Lu, artillery shells and missiles, whatever method you use, destroy the enemy ship as soon as possible, understand?"

"Understood, missiles ready - fire!"
