Chapter 216 Space Battle
The five combat spaceships are approaching the 200-kilometer range of the Razer modified ship. The main laser cannons on the battleships have long been charged and are waiting to enter the combat distance at any time. As long as they enter 150 kilometers, they will attack immediately.
"The rear gauss gun is aimed at the left one, and three seconds later, the blasting projectile is fired!" Captain Hope looked at the scan data on the display screen, and commanded with disdain on his face.
At this time, the distance between the two sides did not enter the attack range of the five combat spaceships, but it did enter the attack range of the Razer modified ship Gauss gun. This is the gap between the civilian spaceship and the warship. The gap of 50 kilometers is life and death gap.
Following Captain Hope's order, the rear weapon bay of the Razer conversion ship was opened, and the hidden rear main Gauss gun protruded from the weapon bay.
The weapons control crew locked the attack on the front left of the five combat ships, which didn't even have the energy shield on.
The energy shield consumes a lot of energy. Under normal circumstances, the energy shield will only be turned on just before the official battle.
According to the judgment of the five combat spaceships in the rear, they did not even enter the attack range, and they made a wrong judgment that the Razer modified ship was armed, so how could the energy shield be turned on in advance.
This is also a common problem of interstellar mercenaries. They are more interested in past experience and do not have mandatory combat rules like the army. Therefore, there will always be some subjective judgments of combat personnel, which will affect the outcome of the battle.
David was also looking at the display screen. The rear gauss gun displayed on it was fully charged when it was hidden, and it was activated as soon as the weapon bay was extended.
Gauss gun, also known as coil gun, uses the principle of electromagnetic force to launch objects to launch warheads. It is a kind of kinetic energy weapon.
Because the Gaussian cannon is a greater threat to the Zerg under the same energy, even if the warhead fired by the Gaussian uses a first-grade warhead, it can cause fatal damage to the second-grade Zerg.
If a light ship like the Razer corvettes is loaded with energy weapons, it is almost difficult for its main gun to kill the third-level Zerg, but if it is equipped with a Gauss gun, it can kill the second-level warhead when using the second-grade warhead. Dead tertiary zerg.
Only the energy weapons loaded on medium and large warships can pose a threat to the third-level Zerg.
Therefore, the Razer modified ship will keep two Gauss guns instead of using energy weapons, because the battle target of this Razer modified ship is not other ships at all, but the Zerg.
On the Razer modified ship, ten second-grade warheads are installed, and the cost of these second-grade warheads is very high.
Because of the secondary-grade materials required for warheads used in spaceship-grade gauss guns,
Almost the same as the second-grade material of a heavy weapon, plus the rest of the materials added, as well as special craftsmanship, this second-grade Gaussian warhead is more expensive than a second-grade heavy weapon.
The remaining first-grade warheads have 200 pieces, which is equivalent to 200 first-grade heavy weapons.
David has only learned about this in the past few days. Through his authority, he has discovered many powerful functions and a large number of combat readiness materials.
Of course, there is no need to use a first-class warhead to deal with this kind of ordinary civilian modified combat spacecraft.
With the slight tremor of the Razer corvette, David knew a blaster had been fired.
A demolition bomb is a warhead specially developed for destroying a spaceship, causing a violent explosion after impact to destroy the enemy's spaceship.
"There is an attack!" In the battleship on the left, the crew who operated the scanning device issued a terrified warning sound.
"Evasion, prepare to ram!" the captain of the battleship shouted.
It's just that it's too late. The Gauss gun has a range of 200 kilometers. It only takes two seconds to hit the target. Unless a military spacecraft with high flexibility can make evasive actions, civilian spacecraft can't react at all.
The intended impact did not occur, and the attack brought only a devastating explosion.
The blasting bomb broke through the outer armor of the left battleship with terrifying potential energy. The defensive layer, which was said to be able to stop several rounds of attacks, was easily broken by the blasting bomb.
The blasting bomb that entered the spaceship automatically detected a suitable explosion position and exploded immediately.
This explosion is not an ordinary explosion, but a super explosive produced by mixing krypton crystal powder with other materials.
With a bang, the left battleship first collapsed inside, and then suddenly exploded outward. All the crew members turned into cosmic dust before they could even react.
Explosive bombs are real military supplies, and if Kathor Superman is not fighting the Zerg on the Battle Star, he will not get this kind of military supplies.
But David doesn't have to be heartbroken. There are still 500 explosive bombs in the ammunition depot. It is estimated that as long as he does not often fight in the air, these stocks are enough for him to consume for a long time.
"Damn, how can their spaceship have long-range main guns?" Captain Grove cursed loudly.
After scolding, he didn't have time to feel sorry for the loss of the battleship, because since the opponent's range was so far, then he would attack one after another.
"Send me long-range missiles, launch all one group, and order the rest of the spaceships to accelerate immediately and approach the enemy ship!" Captain Grove immediately made a judgment and issued a new order.
He bought the long-range missiles from the black market. The price was very expensive. Usually, he was reluctant to launch them once, but when it came to life and death, he did not hesitate to launch all of them.
Only his main spacecraft was equipped with long-range missiles. I saw five launch holes opened on the side of the spacecraft, and five long-range missiles flew out, dragging their tail flames into red light and flying towards the Razer modified ship.
The remaining three combat spaceships received orders to turn their engines to the maximum and speed up to enter the attack range.
As for the main spaceship of Captain Grove, he did not approach immediately, but slowly retreated. He needed to observe the reaction of the other party.
If the Razer conversion ship can dodge missiles and beat three combat ships, then adding his main ship won't help.
In addition, Captain Grove was extremely suspicious that the Razer refitted ship was a real warship at all, otherwise there would be such a long attack distance.
Captain Grove is familiar with the spaceships of the interstellar mercenary group. Unless it is a large mercenary group related to a large consortium, it is impossible to have the ability to attack at a distance of 200 kilometers. This is the attack distance of a light warship.
It is precisely this psychology that made Captain Grove flinch.
"Eject the decoy bomb, aim the rear gauss gun to the right, and fire it!" Captain Hope looked at the five light spots that were approaching very quickly on the display, and judged that five seconds had passed since the first Gauss gun was fired, and the second time was ready. It fired, so Shen Sheng ordered.
The Razer converted ship fired five small decoys, which mimicked the Razer converted ship's signal, towards the five long-range missiles.
The five long-range missiles are several generations different from the small decoys on the Razer modified ship, which makes the long-range missiles fly to the five small decoys without any hesitation, and the five long-range missiles collide with the five small decoys in the air. explode.
In the midst of the explosion's flames, a detonator shot through the flames and shot to the right battleship.
Although the scan of the battleship on the right found a burst bomb, it was still unable to avoid it, and could only rely on the energy shield to resist.
"Turn the hull around, the front gauss artillery combo!" Captain Hope ordered immediately after completing the second attack.
The gauss gun is very strong, but it also has flaws. The main gun needs time to recover each time it is used. The interval between two consecutive attacks takes at least five seconds, and as the attack continues, the interval will increase. the longer.
The Razer refitted ship flexibly turned around in the air, and the front Gauss gun protruded from the weapon bay and fired immediately. At this time, the explosive flames of the five long-range missiles in space had not dissipated, and a burst bomb passed through the flames again.
"Crash, crash!" the captain of the battleship on the right warned loudly.
He believed that with the energy shield, the attack of the enemy ship could be completely blocked.
The blasting bomb hit the energy shield, causing the energy shield to sway continuously, and then the violent explosion made the energy shield crumbling.
Just as the captain of the battleship on the right breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the screams of the crew operating the scanning device.
"Attack, attack!"
The captain of the battleship on the right didn't even say a warning, because he knew very well that the current energy shield could not stop another attack at all.
In the desperate eyes of the crew members, a blasting bomb flew into the cabin, and then the explosion swept the entire combat ship.
"Put away, turn the hull, and prepare for the next round of attack!" Captain Hope ordered again.
The Razer refitted the ship back to the hull, and the two engines performed regular acceleration, which soon increased the speed.
The remaining two combat ships watched as they were getting closer and closer to the 150-kilometer attack range, but found that the Razer modified ship suddenly accelerated and quickly abandoned them.
"Captain, can't keep up with the enemy spaceship, request to retreat immediately!" A combat spaceship captain asked Captain Grove.
When the speed is far inferior to the opponent's spaceship, and the range of weapons is also very large, the battle is almost inevitable.
Because they can't catch up, they can't hit, they can only be beaten passively.
Looking at the battleship that was shot just now, it was destroyed in just two hits. The opponent's attack power was too strong. This time, the mission was to die.
"Allow you to abandon the ship and escape from the ship wearing exoskeleton armor!" Captain Grove saw it clearly, and he ordered in a deep voice.
It is impossible for these two combat ships to escape. The speed of the Razer modification ship is too fast, and it will be destroyed sooner or later.
As long as you keep the armored soldiers on the spaceship, the rest of the crew doesn't matter, just move on.
Captain Grove's order made the ordinary crew members on the two spaceships pale, and looked at the armored soldiers on board with fear.
The soldiers paid no attention to these ordinary crew members. On weekdays, they were brothers. When it came to life and death, they could only take care of each other.
"You can't leave me!" On the left side of the battleship, a crew member yelled frantically, hugging a soldier's exoskeleton armor.
The soldier grabbed his arm and threw it out.
The crew's bodies collided with the ship's wall, making the sound of bones breaking.
For a while, the cabin was quiet, and all the ordinary crew members did not dare to make a sound.
The soldiers were very fast, opened the hatch and rushed out.
"I can't live, you don't want to live either!" The crew member who operated the laser cannon murmured with determination in his eyes.
Just as the scanning crew gave a loud warning again, a laser was emitted from the laser cannon and swept across several soldiers.
The spaceship was then destroyed by two blasting bombs before and after, and the shock wave of the explosion made the fleeing soldiers unstable.
For the armored soldiers who were swept by the laser cannon, the exoskeleton armor was not able to completely block the attack of the laser. The armor shell on the exoskeleton armor was melted, and the internal temperature quickly reached a thousand degrees because the temperature control device was destroyed.
Several armored soldiers did not even scream, they were ignited by the high temperature, and only the destroyed exoskeleton armor shell was left in space.
The armored soldier looked so fragile in front of the spaceship-level weapons.
Of course, most of the armored soldiers managed to escape. When the last combat spaceship was destroyed, only the remaining thirteen armored soldiers were using the power engines on the exoskeleton armor to fly towards the main spaceship with all their strength.
"Sir, what should I do with these armored soldiers?" Captain Hope asked carefully after he quit his command state after the battle was won.
It was only then that David realized that he had underestimated Captain Hope.
From the air battle just now, although the performance of the spacecraft here has an absolute advantage, Captain Hope's calm command is also an important condition for victory.
After hearing Captain Hope's question, David's attitude towards him was also much better.
"Captain Hope, is it okay to kill them?" David asked with a smile.
"My lord, they are robbers, any treatment you do is reasonable!" Captain Hope replied respectfully.
"Then it's up to you to kill them all!" David decided.
"Yes, my lord!" Captain Hope responded. He turned around and commanded loudly: "Change the alloy warhead, take those armored soldiers as the target, and shoot the two Gauss guns in turn!"
At this time, the enemy is no longer a threat, and the last combat spacecraft has already withdrawn to a distance of 300 kilometers, and there is no threat to the Razer modified ship.
But it doesn't mean that the Razer modified ship can be hunted down at this time, because with the existence of these armored soldiers, all the armored soldiers must be eliminated before they can be pursued.
Don't look at it from a long distance, the armored soldiers can't pose a threat to the spaceship at all, but once the armored soldiers are approached, these armored soldiers will be a disaster to the spaceship.
In fact, the reason why Captain Grove let the armored soldiers leave the spaceship is exactly what he thought, which can prevent the pursuit of the Razer modified ship.
Thirteen soldiers were flying towards the main spaceship, but found that the distance between them and the main spaceship was getting farther and farther.
"We were used by the head of the regiment!" A soldier looked at the direction of the main spaceship and cried in despair.
Just as he finished speaking, his body suddenly burst open, and the exoskeleton armor was not able to block an alloy warhead fired by the Gauss gun.
