From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 123 Amber, Hit Mas!

The main screen of the bridge was magnified optically, and the Swift Strike, three thousand kilometers away, had obviously reacted and began to slowly adjust the ship's axis with the help of the attitude nozzle.

Because at the current level of human technology, the main body of the heavy particle cannon is an acceleration track directly connected to the fusion furnace.

Therefore, on warships equipped with heavy particle cannons, this killer weapon is arranged on the central axis of the ship.

This also means that when attacking, the warship must face the enemy with the bow.

The greater the instantaneous power of the fusion furnace on the warship and the longer the acceleration track, the faster the muzzle velocity of the heavy particle cannon will be, and the greater the power will be.

The HIPW35 heavy particle cannon equipped on high-speed frigates such as the Confessor has a maximum initial velocity of 1,600 kilometers per second at full power shooting.

At the level of the Empire's heavy cruiser, the maximum initial velocity of full-power shooting is 2,000 kilometers per second, and the number of equipment is not 1, but 4.

The initial velocity and power of the heavy particle cannon at the battleship level are even greater.

As the Swift Strike turned, Amber also issued a new order.

"Helmsman, keep the axis unchanged and make a clockwise lateral maneuver, with an angle offset of minus 10 degrees!"

After hearing this order, Major Randall quickly understood what Amber meant.

He wanted to avoid the axis of the other warship.

Although the Glory of the Past, which was in the 'outer circle', had to completely avoid the direction of the Swift Strike, which was in the 'center of the circle', it was impossible to accomplish at the current angular velocity.

But this was not originally done for evasion, but to buy time for the gunners to shoot.

The attitude nozzle on the starboard side of the Glory of the Past immediately started working, and this time it was not the pulse jet for fine-tuning just now.

Instead, it was a long-term jet for emergency braking.

The entire frigate looked like it was pushed from the right by Fujiwara Takumi and began to drift in space with a radius of 3,000 kilometers.

"Captain! The electromagnetic reconnector has been charged!"

Although the opponent has been prepared and started to adjust the bow, Amber should replace the alloy rod loaded in the electromagnetic reconnector with a programmed self-forging warhead.

In this way, even if there is a near miss, the self-forging warhead will attack the side or even the main propulsion array at the moment of passing the target.

But thinking of the famous "micro-control master" who ordered the replacement of ammunition twice in a row at the critical moment of the battle, and the final result of that famous battle.

Amber felt that maybe he should trust the gunner again?

After all, it was the first time for the opponent to operate the gun, and some mistakes were inevitable.

So he finally gave the attack order without hesitation.

"Fire!"

The people on the bridge only saw a flash of lightning on both sides of the panoramic porthole, and two faintly visible lines of fire disappeared in front of the battleship.

"High magnetic field reaction detected in the alert direction! Ultra-high-speed flying objects approaching! Number 2, presumed to be enemy electromagnetic reconnection guns!"

The tactical information coordinator on the Swift Strike was sweating profusely at this time, and his voice became a little trembling.

The heavy metal particle jet that just passed by made everyone on the bridge, including Captain Klein, still a little unrecovered.

Most people actually closed their eyes in despair when they heard "presumed to be enemy heavy particle cannons!"

Some members of the Empire State Church even silently began a brief last prayer.

After all, their own warship had just left the jump and was lying sideways for people to shoot.

But after a violent shaking, everyone on the bridge found that they had survived, and the scene seemed a little awkward for a while.

On the bridge that fell into silence, only the shipboard control personality was left, and he was still faithfully reporting the damage to the ship while conducting damage control arrangements.

And now, two more electromagnetic reconnection guns were fired one after another.

"Quick, helmsman, emergency turn! Leia! How long will it take for the deflection field to activate?!"

"It will take another ten seconds, Captain!"

Hearing the answer from the shipboard control personality, Captain Klein couldn't help but squeeze the armrest of the captain's seat tightly.

"The attack is about to hit! 8! 7! 6!"

"Everyone, be prepared to resist the impact!"

On the other side, Amber, who was already floating in the air, couldn't help but squeeze the back of the captain's seat during Tom's countdown.

"5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Missed the target!!"

The bridge of the Glory of the Past fell into a dead silence at this moment, as if someone had pressed the mute button.

A moment later, Amber's roar resounded throughout the bridge.

"Gunner! I'd rather trust Chuichi Nanyun than you!"

Amber covered her forehead in pain, then pushed hard on the captain's seat, and while floating towards the rear passage, she did not forget to continue issuing a series of orders:

"Temporarily cut off the energy supply of the weapon unit, and activate the deflection field! The power of the entire ship is distributed to the deflection field generator and the power unit at a ratio of 8:2!"

"The heat sink is reopened, the main gun is forced to dissipate heat, and prepare for the second round of attack! Electromagnetic reconnection gun, load programmed bullets for this round of attack!"

"Maintenance team, prepare for the HCP attack, I will arrive at the hangar soon!"

"Liya, pre-energize the ejection track at the bottom of the battleship, and start the electronic warfare attack at the same time!"

"Major, increase the speed and approach the enemy ship. Captain Margaret will temporarily take over the command."

Amber's figure disappeared on the bridge. Everyone only heard his last muttering before the communication channel was cut off:

"Forget it, forget it. There is no chance of three times. I will definitely hit it next time."

Turning his head to look at the gunner in the gunner's seat, wearing a fully enclosed helmet and drooping his head, Major Randall couldn't help but comfort him:

"It's okay. Didn't you hear what the captain said? There is still one chance? If you can't hit it next time, it's not too late to be frustrated."

"Thank you, Major, you are really good at comforting people."

Amber left the bridge and grabbed the transmission handrail and quickly rushed from the bridge to the hangar at the bottom of the battleship.

The people in the maintenance class still lived up to expectations. Although they were facing an Imperial HCP, they still successfully completed the attack preparation.

After seeing Amber floating over, two maintenance soldiers who had been prepared in advance dragged a set of heavy hydraulic anti-gravity suits to meet them, and then quickly assisted Amber to put them on.

After doing all this, Amber boarded the standard configuration "Fanatical" in the Gunakuli at the fastest speed.

Then she was lowered to the electromagnetic catapult channel at the bottom of the battleship through the elevator.

"The vector nozzle inspection is completed, and the weapon unit rapid self-inspection begins! Enable the air combat call sign."

Amber paused for a moment, and then thought of her ID that once killed all the enemies.

"Spectre!"

The scene in the full-circle cockpit has now become a vast universe, and the circular coordinate axes are rotating as the battleship adjusts its posture.

The enemy search system connected to the battleship through the data link marked the enemy battleship 3,000 kilometers away as a red triangle.

"The subcritical reactor is working normally, the weapon unit self-inspection is completed, and there is no abnormality! No bad points are found in the plasma propulsion array! The attack inspection is completed!"

"Understood, the electromagnetic catapult channel is fully charged, and the ejection opportunity has been handed over to the pilot!"

Lilith's voice sounded. With the computing power of the battleship-level processor, she can now appear in the bridge and Amber's HCP cockpit at the same time.

At the same time, Lieutenant Commander Randall at the helm also pushed the car clock to "Forward Three".

The main propulsion array of the Glory of the Past burst into a dazzling blue light, and the entire warship suddenly accelerated under this huge thrust.

Seeing that everything was ready, Amber in the Zealot's cockpit punched the virtual button on the right side representing "ejection" without hesitation.

"Amber, call Phantom, attack!"
