Chapter 201: Having a Generation Gap Means You Can Do Whatever You Want

Whether it is a large-scale battle between the main fleet or a fight between several warships.

Before the stage of mutual fire, the two sides are still searching and testing each other, which is boring and tedious, but at the same time the atmosphere is extremely depressing.

Everyone hopes that their ship can be the first to find the trace of the other party.

In this way, they can enter the combat position faster and fire before the enemy.

Now that heavy particle cannons are the main weapons of human military warships, for ships that have not had time to open the deflection field, one shot can often decide the outcome.

And this time, the goddess of luck is still on the side of Ares.

According to the conclusion drawn from the continuous tracking of the nanotube external detection unit, the destroyer of Mary Bay Industries that pursued Ares chose to pursue the inflatable bait released.

The bait with no electromagnetic wave signal, no infrared characteristics, no power and painted with space war is, to some extent, not much different from the warships that have entered the stealth action mode.

This also means that the other party must at least chase within 20,000 kilometers of the bait before they can find out that they have made a mistake in their target.

At this time, the distance between them and the Ares is not something they can catch up with in a short time.

So what the Ares has to do now is to find another destroyer that may be "waiting for the rabbit" on the border line.

And the "professional team" of Yaoguang Defense has also helped a lot in this regard.

Like most private military companies of this era, the ships under Yaoguang Defense have participated in the most intense battles, attacking pirates during escort, or assisting their employers in exchanging fire with ships of other forces or private military companies.

They are more familiar with directly entering the shooting phase after deploying the formation.

Rather than playing hide-and-seek in the vast universe.

They have done more professional battles such as ambush or counter-ambush.

It's just that the targets in the past were ordinary armed merchant ships or pirate ships, not military-grade warships with optical stealth and black body coating.

So when the temporarily transferred destroyer arrived outside the border area, its captain was also confused.

He received news that a ship in covert action mode was approaching the border area. At present, only an approximate location was known, and the target might be a bait.

So now the destroyer needs to search in this area. If it is confirmed to be the target, it will immediately send a signal to the Freedom Radical and launch an interception operation at the same time.

"I didn't say that this mission was so difficult before I came. No, I have to report it and ask for more money when I go back."

The captain complained while giving instructions:

"Turn on the long-wave radar and scan the approximate location of the target first.

Prepare the heavy particle cannon for launch, and when the approximate location of the target is found, cover the shooting in diffusion mode."

This set of operations was learned by the captain on an internal forum.

In addition to the captains of various private military companies, the users of this forum also include some retired or even active federal navy captains.

It can be regarded as a place where you can learn real dry goods.

This method was also revealed by a captain of a destroyer suspected to be in active service in the Federal Navy.

The diffuse shooting mode of the heavy particle cannon, although it is difficult to cause any damage to combat ships, can easily destroy bait targets.

Because the baits released by these ships are usually inflatable baits for easy storage.

Facing the heavy metal particle flow, there is basically no resistance.

And if you win the jackpot and really meet the target who is ready to escape.

Then the characteristics of the heavy particle cannon when shooting can also force the opponent to open the deflection field for defense.

Even if this is a diffuse shooting that does not cause any damage.

As long as the opponent opens the deflection field, after being swept by the heavy metal particle flow, it will immediately become the "brightest star in the night sky", allowing the party to obtain the exact position and facilitate the next round of attack.

At that time, as long as it can be delayed until the friendly forces arrive, it will be impossible to be overturned.

His destroyer can also find an opportunity to board and finally capture the target.

The entire combat process quickly passed through the mind of the destroyer captain.

He even thought about the scenario where his request for additional money was approved after the war, and he would get a large commission.

"Long-wave radar detected a suspected target! Adjusting the axial heavy particle cannon of our ship to prepare for diffuse shooting! 321 fire!"

The voice of the tactical information coordinator pulled the captain back from his beautiful fantasy.

As the entire ship shook slightly, a flash of white light flashed at the bow.

A "tide" formed by countless heavy metal particles rushed towards the target area.

"How is the attack effect?"

"Captain, no deflection force field reaction was detected, but the target is still there! The position is roughly calculated, and the target has left the boundary area!"

"What?!"

The captain of the destroyer sat up straight.

His first reaction was whether his gunner missed the target, but he quickly denied this idea.

After all, this was a diffuse shot, and the approximate area of ​​the opponent had been obtained.

If AOE can miss the target, then this gunner is not just a technical problem.

Just as the captain was thinking about what was going on, the tactical information coordinator's somewhat frightened voice sounded:

"High magnetic field reaction appeared in the target area, judged to be electromagnetic reconnection artillery shooting! Ultra-high-speed heat source detected, number 8! Contact expected in 11 seconds!"

"Fuck! This is a real target! Quick! Turn on the deflection force field, the communicator immediately notifies friendly forces!"

The captain of the destroyer began to panic, because he found that the captain of the other side was a real ruthless person, or an experienced guy.

General captains, after detecting signs of heavy particle cannon firing, will be eager to turn on the deflection force field to prevent themselves from being hit by a single shot.

But this one is obviously different.

Most likely guessed that they were a round of "throwing stones to test the water" type of diffuse shooting, so he chose to use armor to resist.

This also allows the opponent to allocate sufficient energy to the weapon unit, so as to fire back at a faster speed.

"Captain, communication is blocked, the other party has activated electronic interference!"

"Flare! Fire flare!"

"The launch request is rejected! The enemy's electronic warfare virus has been launched through the public frequency band, and the shipboard control personality is performing full system disinfection!"

While the captain covered the space suit mask in pain, the bow deflection force field generator of the destroyer was also activated, and a layer of invisible force field began to rotate slowly clockwise.

When not attacked, the deflection force field is in this state.

Only when it touches something will the spectacular scene of "electric snake dancing wildly" appear.

11 seconds passed quickly in the tense mood of everyone on the bridge.

But everyone imagined that the high-speed penetration rod of the electromagnetic reconnection gun was intercepted by the deflection force field, and the spectacular scene of white light bursting out at the bow did not appear.

Instead, the entire destroyer shook violently several times, followed by several explosions, which were transmitted along the hull to the ears of the bridge members.

The image of the shipboard control personality also suddenly appeared in midair, and then the 3D model of the destroyer was presented on the holographic projection platform.

I saw that several areas on both sides of the ship were marked in red, which symbolizes "damage".

"Warning, the port side charged particle cannon is damaged!

Warning, the port side electromagnetic catapult track is damaged!

Warning, the right side of the main propulsion array is damaged, and the number of bad points is 8%!

"

The pleasant voice of the shipboard control personality sounded, but the content reported made the captain of the destroyer sweat.

The opponent's electromagnetic reconnection gun's continuous firing was not aimed at the bow at all, but directly aimed at the side and fired the programmed warhead.

The self-forged warhead produced a side explosion at the moment it passed over the hull. Although the power of the destroyer-level high-charge warhead can be blocked by the side armor of the same-level warship, the fragments arranged on the hull will suffer.

"Captain, a high-speed object has been detected leaving the enemy ship. It is determined to be an enemy HCP. The number 2 is wrong, 3!"

"Strong electric field reaction appears in the target area, and their heavy particle cannon has opened fire!"

"Emergency evasion! The HCP squadron will attack immediately after the evasion is over to intercept the opponent!"

As soon as the destroyer captain finished speaking, two white and blue "beams" crossed a distance of 8,000 kilometers and accurately hit the bow of the destroyer.

The frenzied electric snake instantly covered the entire bow. Although the shipboard control personality immediately lowered the light intake of the external monitor, the people in the bridge were still flashed by the sudden burst of white light.

Then, the voice of the shipboard control personality sounded again.

"Warning, the deflection field generator is overloaded and temporarily offline!"

This destroyer of Yaoguang Defense is similar to Mary Bay Industries. They are both the previous generation of Peregrine-class destroyers of the Federal Navy.

In terms of performance, there is still a big gap with the newly retired Petrel class proposed by Amber.

Under the double salvo of the main gun, the old model deflection field generator of this destroyer could not bear it directly.

Although the main gun of the Haiyan class also needs to be forced to dissipate heat at this moment, and the superconducting battery stack needs to be recharged before it can fire again.

But the opponent has other weapons to use, and also launched HCP to outflank.

"Damn it, when mobilizing, they didn't even mention that the other warships are generational gaps with us. Now we can only hope that the friendly forces of Mary Bay Industries can find the movement here in time."

The captain of the destroyer prayed silently in his heart, and then waved his hand and issued the latest instructions:

"HCP squadron, hurry up to cover this ship. If the electromagnetic catapult track on the left cannot be used, just detach from the side hatch!

Helmsman, control the ship to approach the border area, and hide directly in if the situation is urgent!"
