Chapter 514: You Are Weak in Slashing and Poor in Thrusting

For ordinary humans who do not need to sit in the HCP cockpit and endure the physical and mental pressure, the HCP duel in space - especially the 1V1 duel - looks very beautiful and elegant.

Push the throttle to the 'combat thrust' position, causing the long blue wake ejected by the plasma propulsion array to make the HCP speeding through the cold universe look like a comet.

And two such 'comets' draw huge arcs to intersect, stagger and intersect again in the cosmic background. Coupled with the beams of directed energy weapons flashing between them from time to time, to onlookers, Excellent viewing angle.

But for the pilots sitting in the HCP cockpit, fighting for their lives against the enemy, such a battle obviously has nothing to do with aesthetics and elegance.

Both sides are facing high pressure that ordinary people cannot bear, trying their best to deal with their opponents, hoping to deceive their opponents through their own tactical actions, and then use their own maneuvers to obtain better attack positions - such as the rear hemisphere of the enemy HCP , and finally seize the opponent's flaw to defeat the enemy with one strike.

Unfortunately, the pilots on both sides thought so, so for them, the duel between HCPs was a process of constantly trying to bite each other's rear hemisphere.

However, compared with traditional air combat in the atmosphere by tactical aircraft such as aerospace fighters, HCP combat in a zero-gravity environment is obviously more complex in terms of maneuverability.

Often you manage to bite the six points of the target, and the long-range weapon in your hand locks on the target with the guidance of your pupils. But just when you are about to fire, the opponent's body makes a 180-degree turn without changing its course. , the shield placed in front of you once again made you miss the opportunity to attack.

As for the passionate knife-fighting drama that the public imagines? In most cases, it doesn't actually happen.

Although the plasma heavy sword also has a directional magnetic field used to restrain high-temperature plasma, the problem is that the structural strength of this heavy sword lies here. Even if there is a directional magnetic field, the result of two heavy swords slashing against each other, It would also end with both swords breaking after swinging the sword several times.

Therefore, hand-to-hand battles between HCPs rarely involve stalemates or passionate fights. Instead, the winner can be decided at an unexpected speed.

The battle between Murat and Johnny Letting is basically this process.

It's just that from the latter's perspective, he was simply being teased unilaterally by the opponent. His attacks could never find the correct direction, but the burst shots from the opponent's electromagnetic rifle bit him like gangrene in the bones.

The ghost-like maneuverability of the whiteboard 'Holy Shield' also made Johnny Letting know for the first time how powerful this world's top pilot is.

Of course he can perform this kind of maneuver on his own, but only if he drives a fully equipped machine body as he does now and completes it with the help of additional 'all-round propulsion' components.

Although Johnny Leiting knew that Major Murat had undergone human enhancement surgery, at this moment he felt that even if he was the same as the other party, he would not be able to activate a whiteboard machine to this extent.

He also realized that the sentence "it is never the equipment that determines the victory of the battle, but the people" is not just words.

The 'genius pilot' quickly glanced at the multi-function display, and then found that he was in the same situation as the Stark squadron he had fought before. Most of the weapons and equipment were judged as 'destroyed' by the combat system.

The electromagnetic rifle in the hands of the 'Holy Shield' driven by Murat may not be able to cause effective damage to the body under the protection of the deflection field and heavy shield.

But in the process of taking advantage of every opportunity, the attack efficiency of Johnny Letting's external weapons and equipment is still enough to achieve this.

And this also intuitively showed to Johnny Redding how deep the long-range shooting experience of the HCP unit commander opposite him who seemed to be a little careless.

After all, compared with 'light speed' weapons such as charged particle cannons and high-energy lasers, the piercing rod fired by the HCP's special electromagnetic rifle has a very slow attack speed.

Johnny Leiting never thought that he would be in such a passive situation in the HCP battle, and he felt extremely aggrieved when he was beaten unilaterally but could not retaliate even if he fought back. .

Not to mention, the pilot of the HCP opposite, which was as slippery as a swimming fish, kept saying rubbish on the public channel such as: "You can't even drive it, so why are you talking about its performance~".

This directly caused Johnny Redding to quickly lose his mind.

"It's so frustrating. Rather than being played by the other party like this, it's better to rush in and die!"

I saw that the fully equipped 'Sacred Shield' he was driving suddenly abandoned all external equipment, and then pulled out the plasma heavy sword that had been powered on and preheated from the weapons container that was about to float away, and directed it towards Miu. He rushed in the direction of pulling.

"Ho ho ho ho~ Are you charging towards me? Instead of running away, you choose to get closer to me. Do you want to decide the outcome in hand-to-hand combat?"

Murat's somewhat despicable voice once again sounded on the public channel, and for some reason, the Atlas veterans among the people watching the battle always felt that Amber's shadow was gradually reflected in Murat's verbal harassment.

After hearing this, Johnny Redding, who was already suffering from some dementia, raised his heavy slashing sword to his chest with red eyes, pointing the tip of the sword forward in a stabbing posture.

When the two 'comets' met again, Amber, who originally planned to talk to Murat and the others because of some matters, rushed to the heavy cruiser immediately after hearing that there was a lot of excitement.

Thomas, the captain of the heavy cruiser, was already overwhelmed by the sudden increase in security pressure on the ship due to the continuous high-level visitors.

When Amber boarded the ship, his eyesight went dark, and he hurriedly began to arrange security work. After all, if something went wrong with this heavy cruiser now, the Atlas Group's "high-end combat power" would be needed. Served in one pot.

Although with Amber's current strength, if there is any emergency, it is more likely that he will protect these security personnel.

And when he walked into the Gnaku where a large number of onlookers gathered, he happened to hear Murat's 'sharp comments' during the battle on the public channel.

"You are weak in slashing, ineffective in thrusting, your body posture is loose, your reactions are slow, and none of your movements are decent. How dare you say that you are 'as good as any so-called ace'? Just have your sweet dream!!!"

As Murat said his last words in an angry voice, a burst of dazzling blue light burst out behind him controlling the whiteboard 'Sacred Shield'.

Under the mapping of the on-board operating system, the machine body completed an unpretentious and clean horizontal slash in an extremely neat and natural posture at the moment when the two sides crossed each other at high speed at a dangerous distance.

The combat system also immediately determined that this sword directly cut off Johnny Leiting who had no time to make defensive movements.

Soon, the two HCPs that had been taken over by the combat system returned to the heavy cruiser's gnaku through the return channel, and a group of small autonomous robots also broke away from the ship and flew towards the area where the two had just fought. .

They were responsible for picking up the weapons and equipment that Johnny Letin had just abandoned. After all, although this machine body was temporarily assigned to Johnny Letin, it still belonged to Atlas' company assets.

So this 'genius pilot' had better pray that these recycling robots can retrieve the things, otherwise he will have to add an 'equipment loss compensation' to the Renaissance Alliance before he has finished training.
