Chapter 579 Firefight 2
Although Perrin's response was decisive and theoretically feasible, it was still far from her ideal when it came to implementation.
Even if the transport flagship could quickly complete a large-angle turn under the impetus of many auxiliary engines, the transport ship was still a transport ship after all.
The overall construction concept was not based on maneuverability as a priority.
The nearly full-load state made the huge and bulky ship structure bear a greater load when turning rapidly.
In addition, after turning the course, the full speed was accelerated without delay, causing the entire ship to be at a critical point where it could collapse at any time.
Even if the perfect onboard life support system could minimize the physical load of the crew and ensure the safety of life on board, the unbearable ship structure also made a series of metal twisting creaking sounds.
Being in the ship at this time was like being in a submarine that was constantly sinking into the deep sea and being squeezed by endless sea water.
The unparalleled fear, powerlessness and suffocation were unimaginable to ordinary people.
The alarm sounded in the bridge, becoming even more shrill and piercing.
"Turn off the automatic error correction program, adopt full manual operation, and continue to maintain the acceleration state!" Perrin, who had already decided to fight to the death, gave the order decisively.
The vertical pupils like a leopard shrank tightly, and the cold eyes swept away the initial panic, with a glimmer of cruelty and madness.
The crew members who were swept by his cold eyes all had their hair standing on end, and they dared not hesitate or delay for a moment.
They were afraid that if they moved a little slower, the female beast would pounce on them and bite their necks off.
Such reckless and crazy operations also had an immediate effect.
Just when most of the captains of the entire transport fleet had just received the order to disperse and break out, and had not yet reacted to issue specific orders.
The flagship at the core of the fleet array had completely completed a large-angle turn.
Driven by the main engine with full power, it forcibly knocked away the multiple transport ships that were blocking the road ahead and could not avoid it.
Relying on the solid shield, it rushed out of the fleet array in an extremely arrogant manner.
Even the escort fleet that was further out had no time to react, and naturally could not make an effective interception.
They could only watch as this seemingly bulky super-large transport ship rushed out of its own encirclement frantically.
Looking at the real-time image on the projection screen, Anderson's eyes flashed with shock.
Before he could completely come to his senses, a roar resounding through the bridge was heard from a certain exclusive temporary communication frequency band.
"Anderson, what are you doing? You are a waste!"
"Hurry up and stop all the other transport ships. If you let another one run away, I will twist off your head and use it as a wine jug!"
"Leave this one that escaped to me, you don't have to worry about it."
The holographic projection that was so fine that it was visible appeared in front of the command seat.
The leader of the Ansai Star Pirates, the lion-headed half-orc Oheim with a head full of golden mane, roared viciously.
Anderson suddenly saw the bloody mouth in front of him, and his face twitched, but he had to respond repeatedly until the projection disappeared, and then he slapped the armrest of the command seat.
However, he didn't know that just after Oheim hung up the call, his fierce expression immediately subsided, and a flattering expression appeared on his face. He hunched his strong body and immediately dialed another secret communication.
"Boss, everything is going according to plan, and the flagship has broken out of the encirclement."
"It's going smoothly, and there will definitely be no problems. You can rest assured that I will do the job."
"I know this matter myself, and my loyalty is witnessed by the star sea..."
That nodding and bowing look, how could it be the spirit of a star gangster boss.
On the other side, Perrin, who had just commanded the flagship to break out, didn't even have time to breathe.
"Damn it!" Looking at the four ferocious warships chasing closely behind her on the projection screen, she seemed extremely angry.
Although she had never paid much attention to the Ansai Star Pirates, she had heard of them. They were just an ordinary interstellar pirate gang.
Who would have thought that when they really met them this time, they found that the Ansai Star Pirates not only had a large number of divine ships, but also the performance of their warships seemed to be very good.
At this time, she had estimated the performance of the four warships that were chasing them just by looking at their speed and maneuverability.
Fortunately, the divine main guns of these looting warships were still a little behind the military-grade warships.
Any heavy divine weapons were important controlled items of various civilizations. Large ships were allowed to be built and sold by civilians, and there were also many that were privately converted into warships.
But if they were equipped with military-controlled super-standard weapons, it would definitely involve the forces behind them.
On the other hand, high-end defensive equipment, such as the divine shield array, did not have so many restrictions.
It is precisely because of this that the transport flagship can rely on the extremely strong divine shield to maintain its position under the pursuit of four warships.
Groups of hot plasma, wrapped in golden divine power, cross the starry sky and continuously bombard the divine shield, with light splashing everywhere.
In a short period of time, it is difficult to cause substantial effective damage.
Even if the attack continues, it is probably difficult to completely break through the shield before the energy reserve is exhausted.
After all, although the energy consumption of maintaining the shield is greater, the divine crystal reserve of the transport flagship is undoubtedly much more abundant than that of the four warships, which is also Perrin's only hope.
What really made her anxious was the enemy's relentless pursuit, which made the flagship always in a state of warp interference.
And further behind, there were more pirate warships chasing them.
Once their speed was slowed down and they fell into more firepower range, no matter how strong the divine shield was, they could not withstand the concentrated fire of the main guns of the warships.
In addition, the tonnage and structural disadvantages of the transport ship made it difficult to maintain an excessively high-speed navigation for a long time even if its power equipment was sufficient.
As time went on, its energy consumption and hull load would increase step by step.
In contrast, the pirate group's warships with smaller tonnage, tighter structure and better maneuverability were designed for this kind of high-speed cruising.
Especially after leaving the safe channel, collisions with small celestial bodies began to gradually appear.
Even with advanced detection equipment, Perrin's transport ship could not avoid these space junk 100% in advance.
Not to mention that when passing through some meteorite-dense areas, the huge transport ship had no space to adjust and dodge.
Not only did it affect the speed, but the energy consumption also began to rise rapidly, which is the main reason why ships would not leave the safe channel at will when sailing normally.
At this time, the transport flagship, which was in a panic, had already deviated from the range of the safe channel.
In addition to avoiding direct collisions with larger celestial bodies, Perrin had no time to dodge the collisions with other small celestial bodies.
The damage to the divine shield caused by this was not even less than the bombardment of the enemy ship.
On the other hand, the four warships that were chasing closely behind the transport flagship were almost equivalent to moving forward with a huge shield on their heads. They did not need to bear any collision risks at all, and they could naturally maintain a high speed without any scruples.
If it continued like this, the transport flagship where Perrin was would not be able to hold on until it approached the star gate security area, and even before the divine shield was broken, the unbearable ship structure would collapse in advance.
