Chapter 375 Sniper, Then Single-Machine Breakthrough Into the Atmosphere

"Master, the long-range electromagnetic gun assembly has been launched!"

"Very good. The trajectory and posture assistance of the aircraft depend on you, Lilith."

"Don't worry, Master, just fly and leave the rest to me!"

Lilith's voice showed a rare sense of 'reliability', which also allowed Amber to temporarily put aside her worries and began to fully control 'ATLAS' and began to maneuver heavily under the pursuit of three cruisers.

In fact, luck was also on Atlas's side at this moment.

The orbital assault ship that launched the tactical nuclear bomb had actually lost control of its posture under Amber's previous attack, so the trajectory of the tactical nuclear bomb launched did not rush directly into the atmosphere like a conventional attack.

Instead, after making a large circle, the attack trajectory was re-adjusted with the assistance of the attitude control engine, which also gave Amber time to try to intercept.

Otherwise, if the orbital attack ship dropped the bomb directly under normal circumstances, Amber knew that he would be too late to intercept it from such a distance.

At this time, he had to confirm that the fighting will of these orbital attack ships far exceeded his expectations.

Not only were they all trying to launch orbital strikes under his attack just now, but in the end, this ship also dropped the last tactical nuclear bomb when the ship's attitude was out of control and the crew began to abandon the ship and evacuate. .

While Amber was sighing, the long-range electromagnetic gun fired by the 'Icarus' support device quickly approached his direction.

This set of support equipment is specially used to support 'ATLAS' in the battle on the planet orbit. It has eight sets of components with different functions built in. It will maintain optical stealth maneuvers on a certain orbit to ensure that Amber's body is always supporting. within the range.

Finally, in situations like the one just now, the corresponding components are ejected to support Amber's operations.

And support on the planet's orbit is not all. The 'Icarus' support device can also install a heat-insulating shell with an aerodynamic shape on the outside of the ejection components according to Amber's needs, so that these components can break into the atmosphere and support Amber. Fighting on the ground.

As for why Eugene and Orns from the Atlas Equipment R&D Center would come up with such a thing, it was mainly because everyone in the Atlas combat force was aware of Amber's incredible combat power.

So after some discussion, a battle plan with Amber as the core was put together.

Under normal circumstances, Atlas's combat troops still fight according to the normal mode, but once it is time to open up the situation or put out a fire, Amber will enter the battle and become the only 'Big C', and all participating troops will also We will act with 'assisting Amber' as the highest priority.

"Master, the long-range electromagnetic sniper gun has entered the predetermined distance and begins the docking procedure!"

"Understood~"

Amber controlled the machine body to make a defensive barrel roll with a huge trajectory. While avoiding several ship-borne heavy particle cannon shots in advance, it also shortened the distance from the long-range electromagnetic sniper cannon.

Soon, as the booster rocket on the long-range electromagnetic sniper gun completed its final deceleration, a series of explosive bolts also exploded, throwing away the booster rocket on the assembly.

At the same time, Lilith also controlled the huge HCP 'ATLAS' to shoot out an extremely long carbon fiber cable, and successfully connected with an electromagnetic interface on the component.

Immediately afterwards, the carbon fiber cable was quickly retracted, and within a few seconds, the huge electromagnetic sniper cannon was pulled to the front of the body.

Amber controlled the robotic arm to firmly hold the right handle of the electromagnetic sniper gun. Another robotic arm stretched out from the back of the body and connected to an interface to complete the fixation.

At this time, the overall length of the electromagnetic sniper cannon, which had been unfolded from the folded state during the docking process, greatly exceeded the full length of 'ATLAS'. From a distance, it looked more like a heavily armored lancer in space.

"The long-range electromagnetic sniper gun has been powered on! The heavy-duty guidance penetration rod has been loaded! The real-time position of the target has been obtained through the data link. The preview trajectory calculation is completed!"

Only Lilith could calculate the trajectory of a heavy-duty penetration rod in low orbit after being affected by the planet's gravity in such a short period of time.

An ever-changing 'arc' appeared in front of Amber's eyes. The end of this 'arc' had fallen to the other end of the planet, and its end point was the tactical nuclear bomb that was about to enter the atmosphere.

"I am great, no need to say more!!!"

In a heartfelt sigh of admiration, Amber pulled the virtual trigger.

An electric arc also flashed on the extremely long acceleration trajectory of the long-distance electromagnetic sniper cannon, and then a slender alloy penetrating rod was sent out at an extremely high speed. At the same time, it moved along the predicted path under the influence of the planet's gravity. The arc of the ballistic trajectory quickly crossed the twilight line, and then disappeared at the other end of the planet.

"The target's strong magnetic field response was detected! It was determined to be an electromagnetic reconnection cannon shot!"

"Activate the deflection field for tactical evasion!"

The captains of the three cruisers issued the same order almost at the same time. If it were a general electromagnetic reconnection gun attack, they would not be so overwhelmed by the enemy.

But after encountering the heavy-duty HCP driven by Amber, and watching Amber use the anti-ship penetration rod of the electromagnetic reconnection gun to 'open can' one orbital assault ship after another, their attack on this thing has already had a shadow. .

However, the high-speed flying rod completely ignored their existence and passed directly over the shortest attack path between the three ships.

When the tactical information coordinator reported that the target attack failed, the captains of the three cruisers were relieved and wondered why the target, which had been attacked with extremely high accuracy before, suddenly missed, and missed so much.

However, the next second, the captain of the heavy cruiser suddenly reacted.

"Fuck! We are not the target."

"It will hit the target soon. The current trajectory and the target trajectory coincide with each other without error!"

"54321, hit!"

Just like the kinetic warheads used by Amber's interceptors in her previous life to deal with nuclear strikes, the heavy penetrator, which flew almost a quarter of the distance around the low orbit of Pella IV, also hit the tactical nuclear bomb hard at the predetermined intersection.

The tactical nuclear bomb in orbit was almost broken into two pieces in an instant. The internal components were thrown out like flowers from the sky while the bomb body was unbalanced.

In this case, a two-phase bomb, that is, a tactical nuclear bomb with a hydrogen bomb as the warhead, is generally used, and the nuclear fission + nuclear fusion reaction required for its detonation is out of the question.

"Huh, it actually worked."

At the moment when Lilith told him that the interception was successful, Amber felt as if his whole body had been drained of energy.

He really wanted Lilith to take over the control of the machine and then completely relax.

But the last sentence that Baninger said before cutting off the communication seemed to ring in his ears again, making it impossible for him to really relax.

After a while, Amber, who had readjusted his state, refocused his mind and controlled the machine to maneuver towards a lower orbit.

"Eugene, Owens, this thing had better be as reliable as you said."

Soon, the three cruisers chasing Amber saw their target begin to fall into the atmosphere, and at the same time, red light appeared around them due to the friction of the atmosphere.

On the other side, Cliffs, who was leading the fleet maneuver, also received the message from Amber.

"I'm going to the ground to put out the fire. I can't provide support for the subsequent battles. The fleet battle depends on you. Cliffs!"

Looking at this message, Cliffs, as the fleet commander, also sighed helplessly.

"Boss, you really know how to put pressure on me"
