Chapter 498： Defensive counterattack (1)

At this moment, the warp speed level value on the flight status indicator is close to 0, and the damage control system emits a warning sound. At the same time, the hull bumps again, and the lights on the left and right displays connected to the battleship sensor system flash and then change. It's gray.

"Morning Star" escaped from virtual space and appeared in the real universe.

The crew member of the damage control management post immediately reported the injury: "Captain, the sensing system failed due to emp impact, the main engine was overloaded, the two-wing magnetic railgun array was offline, and the radar and communication systems were also affected to varying degrees."

"It's okay."

There are detectors to assist in the investigation. It does not matter whether the sensing system and radar equipment of the "Morning Star" malfunctioned or not. When the crew reported the injury, he had already released 4 detectors, started wide-area scanning, searched and intercepted By.

"The defense team, immediately open the star ring and activate the Aurora."

"Yes, Captain." As soon as the voice fell, a member of the defense team pressed a key button.

A piece of deadly "Morning Star" ship belly spouted out a white air current, dots of light lit up, the four beams were erected from the folded state, and the two ends were unfolded into a ring structure.

As the crystals embedded in the surface light up the starburst, the cracks on the outer surface of the star ring radiate a circle of colorful light. They are composed of multiple particles constrained by the force field, which looks like a picture from a distance. The long aurora net quickly spread to the front and rear of the battleship.

However, the expansion of the "Aurora" shield is faster, and a warning signal from the detector is faster.

Just before Tang Fang could react, one, two, three... a total of three blue-blue beams of light were shot from a very far distance, precisely hitting a point on the underside of the "Morning Star" star ring. .

The wave of colorful particles is like a stirred water surface, suddenly losing balance. The three beams of light took advantage of the fact that the shield was not yet formed, breaking up the particle wave and hitting the main body of the star ring.

A dazzling flash of light exploded under the "Morning Star" belly. The star ring was damaged and broken, and the shield energy in the corresponding part was unsustainable. Form a defense gap.

Inside the bridge, the red spot on the indicator of the shield system that was hit by the beam of light flickered. The "Aurora" shield that should have existed in the spindle shape was like a broken eggshell, exposing a large piece.

Affected by this, the strength of the entire shield is greatly reduced, only 30% of the previous level.

The battleship was recoiled by emp, the main system crashed, and now the "Aurora" shield has also been hit hard. For a while, he fell into a very dangerous situation.

Tang Fang never thought that such an accident would happen. According to the current scientific level, the warp speed interception equipment can interrupt the warship's warship navigation without falsification, but it cannot accurately measure the coordinate point of the intercepted warship leaving the virtual space. This gave some warships the opportunity to escape to the sky or fight back. Unless the interceptor has a large amount of military power and lays down a net of heaven and earth, it will be difficult to attack the warship that has just left the virtual space in the first place.

The shield system of the "Morning Star" is derived from the universal force field generator, the same as the antimatter auxiliary propulsion system. It exists as an independent module in the warship and does not belong to the same energy supply link as the main engine, which ensures that the Morningstar is intercepted by the enemy. It can also turn on the shield to protect itself in the first time.

What is puzzling is that less than 1 minute after the "Morning Star" left the virtual space, it was actually hit by the enemy with precision, and according to the scan results from the detector, there were not many enemy ships, only a small number. 5 ships.

Since the opponent is not in a wide-spreading interception mode, that can only show one problem. They can predict where the "Morning Star" will appear to the greatest extent.

This is not the most surprising place, according to the super performance of "Aurora". Even if the shield is not fully formed, battleship-class weapons of national navies such as the Star Alliance, the Silver Eagle Regiment, and the Phoenix Empire. There is no number more than ten, so don't even think about breaking through the "Aurora" shell.

But it is now. The opponent only had 3 warships to activate the main guns, and smoothly tore the unformed "Aurora" shield, and also exploded the main structure of the star ring. One can imagine how powerful its main guns are.

Not to mention the destructive effect it causes. From the perspective of the attack method, it is easy to feel that the enemy ship is unusual, because it is an energy-type attack, not a live ammunition like a magnetic rail gun, and is also different from a plasma weapon. Emma analyzed that the data sent by the detector should be a high-energy laser.

Combined with the image of the enemy ship captured by the detector's sensor equipment, he felt even more weird. I am afraid that the person who came this time was far from simple as imagined.

It was a silver warship with a body length of about 170 meters and a triangular pyramid shape as a whole, with a snow wolf totem vaguely visible on the ship's side.

In Tang Fang’s memory, none of the warships of the same specifications that are still in service in the navies of the Hellenberg region meets their appearance, which shows that the enemy is not from the military, but should be a private army of someone or a certain force.

"Tang Fang, what should I do?"

Aros interrupted his contemplation, and the always steady veteran showed a little worry on his face. After all, the scene before him was too appalling. This was the first time that the "Morning Star" was hit hard after the transformation.

"The driving group, start the anti-matter auxiliary thruster, direction 100, angle 30, and go forward at full speed."

At the same time when the order was issued, Tang had released 63 Corruptors, 42 Flying Dragons, 35 Viking fighters, and 3 Ravens, and flocked to the 5 triangular warships behind the "Morning Star" in a fan-shaped queue.

The accident just now cannot be attributed to his carelessness. The origins of the next five battleships are a mystery, and they are so powerful. Now that the "Aurora" shield is damaged, the accident is the result of ship destruction.

The "Morning Star" rear anti-matter auxiliary thruster was ignited, the warship turned, and followed his instructions to fly forward, while the air force of the people behind and the Zerg Clan accelerated in the opposite direction, splitting into 5 packs towards the enemy ship.

The fire of heavy missile launchers on both sides of the bow of the triangular pyramid warship appeared, and missiles several meters in length swarmed out, rushing straight to the mixed air force of people and insects. At the same time, the bottom hatch of the ship opened, and several aircraft were long. A reduced version of the triangular pyramid battleship of about 18 meters was thrown into the battlefield, followed by the heavy missile and shot off.

A Raven projected a fixed-point unmanned target drone, and the laser weapon obtained a radar synchronization signal, and launched an interception laser towards the front heavy missile.

If it is a general heavy missile, it will naturally be inevitable to be destroyed if hit by the laser of the designated unmanned drone. The jaw-dropping situation happened. The red light on the protrusions on the surface of the heavy missile was intertwined on the surface of the missile to form a protective shield composed of a diamond-shaped matrix. The interception laser fired by the fixed-point unmanned drone hit it with a rippling wave, and then disappeared without a trace. The missile continues to accelerate forward.

The speed of Viking fighters and flying dragons is very fast. The mt50 Lanzel flying thunder is used to bombard the main body of the triangular pyramid battleship, while the flying dragon surrounds the small triangular pyramid aircraft by virtue of its mobile and flexible advantages. As for the slower Corruptors, they lag behind. They are the main force against the triangular pyramid battleship.

With 150 units of human and zerg air forces on the 5 triangular warships and their combat aircraft, it shows that Tang Fang attaches importance to the enemy.

Flying dragons are very fast, and it is difficult for general battleship masters and string guns to accurately lock them, but the weapon used by the small triangular pyramid aircraft is a honeycomb laser transmitter. Through the rapid rotation, the flying dragon can be compressed to the maximum extent and the firepower can be suppressed.

A flying dragon fell into the fire range of the turret surrounded by two small triangular pyramid aircraft. The flaming laser beam rained down, shooting out countless scorched holes in its body, until it was smashed into a sieve and turned into floating debris. meat.

At this time, a flying dragon sprang out from the slanting down, and turned around in the air. The tail structure sprayed a semi-sensing blade insect with extremely high kinetic energy towards the target.

The honeycomb laser transmitter of a small triangular pyramid aircraft was destroyed and caught fire. But several other blade worms were bounced off by the diamond-shaped matrix on the surface of the aircraft. At this moment, a Viking fighter turned and swept over. Two mt50 Lanzel flying thunders are in the center where the blade insects just hit.

The anti-matter warhead exploded under stress, and flames emerged, and the diamond-shaped matrix looked like overwhelmed glass, which was shattered into countless light spots of varying sizes in an instant.

Taking this opportunity, the flying dragon once again shot a group of blade insects, piercing the dark outer shell of the small triangular pyramid aircraft, sending out a series of explosions and burning them into raging flames.

The small triangular pyramid aircraft next to it was unable to turn its head, and a pair of 50mm rapid-fire guns suddenly appeared on both sides of the main engine below the tail span. Armor-piercing bullets were continuously thrown out, and the flying dragons screamed again and again. The scales on the body surface are like broken eggshells, and blood splashes all over. Condensed into a ball of blood beads.

The Corruptor from the rear finally approached the frontline battlefield. The front end opened a huge beak, and the liquid sacs on both sides squirmed, and the slurry that wrapped the parasitic spores shot out. It hit the bow of the small triangular pyramid aircraft to shatter, and the corrosive slurry was coated into a piece .

The sorting balance of the heavy particles that make up the rhombus matrix is ​​broken, and the rapidly penetrating slurry corrodes and collapses the rhombus matrix layer by layer. The original golden shield becomes dull and dull. Two mt50 Lanzel fly thunders are drawn together. The beautiful arc, after blasting the diamond matrix, shreds the small triangular pyramid aircraft.

What the pilots of the Viking fighter did not expect was that the triangular pyramid aircraft did not forget to turn the honeycomb laser transmitter on the bow of the ship, using the central main gun to scratch the right wing of the Viking fighter. Lost his balance, was hit by a heavy missile, turned into a violent flash in the cold and gloomy void, and threw out countless pieces of fire and electric arcs.

Because the small triangular pyramid aircraft disintegrated and exploded, a large amount of smoke and dust was sprayed outwards. When the Corruptor was flying diagonally upwards, a heavy missile rushed out of the smoke hit the tail.

This heavy-duty missile with a shield is literally a suicide drone, which is filled with a small fusion core and its explosive power is chasing the nuclear bomb.

The same flash of light illuminates the void for several kilometers, and the entire body of the Corruptor is swallowed by a huge fireball and turned into nothingness.

At this moment, a dazzling blue blue pillar pierced the surging firelight, filled with a brilliant halo under the refraction of the billowing smoke, and then the remaining speed was unabated, passing through a corrupted person 5 kilometers ahead, and continued to cross. For a hundred kilometers, it hit the shield on the upper surface of the Morningstar, splashing a faint blue light surge.

A raven flew out from the subsequent queue, and took the opportunity to lock the triangular pyramid battleship. The front ejection bay opened, and the raven bomb with a diameter of several meters ignited away. Under the guidance of the enemy laser, it hit the triangular pyramid battleship chassis and caused a fire. The flash is more dazzling than a heavy missile explosion.

At the same time, two Viking fighters cut in obliquely, and while six mt50 Lanzel flying thunders roared out, the 40mm Gatling cannons on both sides of the nose spilled two rows of light rain, accurately hitting the crow. The blasting point of the bomb.

The continuous flashing fire light reflected the red surrounding void, drawing waves of flames like springs on the glass frame of the cockpit of the Viking fighter.

Affected by this, even the diamond matrix of the triangular pyramid battleship is much stronger than the small triangular pyramid aircraft. But in this way of hitting the face with a point, it is inevitable that local damage will occur, and a diamond-shaped shield flashes a few times. The binding force field was overloaded and collapsed, and the disordered heavy particles were blown away by the shock waves generated by the Raven bomb and the mt50 Lanzel flying mine. Like golden silk fluffs that rise into the sky, it diffuses into the surrounding void, then becomes dark and silent.

The armor-piercing projectile with extremely high kinetic energy took the opportunity to drill into the diamond matrix and hit the metal shell of the triangular pyramid warship, leaving a dense row of bullet holes.

The triangular pyramid warship is 170 meters in size. The 40mm armor-piercing projectile fired by the Viking fighter is difficult to cause fatal damage, but it is a wake-up call for the pilots. They can ruthlessly crush pirate battleships and even regular naval fleets. They have no advantage when facing Captain Tang. These small flying units can also break the diamond matrix and endanger the battleship itself through cooperation.

The essence of the rhombus matrix is ​​a heavy particle shield, through the restraint devices all over the surface of the ship hull, they are arranged and rectified with a force field to form a thick colloidal heavy particle area. Not only can it effectively resist energy weapons, but it can also defend against kinetic energy bombs.

The blasting damage and heat radiation caused by the powerful raven bomb and the continuous bombardment of 6 mt50 Lanzel flying thunders caused extremely high loads on the diamond matrix of a certain block. This breaks the defense and causes the restraint device to be overloaded, while the rear 40mm cannon fire seems to be disorderly, but it has seriously damaged the restraint field generator on the surface of the hull in this area, that is, before replacing the damaged restraint device, There will be a gap in the diamond matrix covering the entire hull. This situation is similar to the state of the "Morning Star".

Viking fighters and flying dragons are highly flexible. In combat, it is difficult to replace the damaged restraint devices on the surface of the ship's hull. It can only release the 6 small triangular pyramid aircraft in reserve to reduce the pressure on the main ship. Then, he broke through the battlefield filled with gunpowder at the maximum speed and chased after the "Morning Star" that was speeding up to escape.

The Pyramid warship and its fighter group have the ability to compete with the enemy and the Zerg Air Force. The two sides fought back and forth. Although humans have no battle patrol and the insect swarm has not formed a scale, the opponent's Pyramid warship is only 170. Mi's light destroyer specifications, this scene really gave Tang Fang an unexpected and reasonable "surprise".

Sure enough, the entire universe is not as calm as it seems on the surface, but the dark tide is turbulent, and the storm is treacherous. In those dark unknown areas, there are really people, or forces, who can compete with him.

This is different from the previous situation in the Megall star system when facing the Lancelot Guard Fleet. At that time, the Human and Zerg Air Forces also fell into a bitter battle when facing the "Silver Wheel", and even fell into the wind. Dunbar Taylor turned against the water and used the ground-based super large-caliber heavy particle cannon to break the defense of the "Silver Wheel" and kill Lancelot.

The shield of the "Silver Wheel" comes from the relics of Ypsilon and belongs to the wisdom of the ancestors. As for Lancelot's guard fleet, it looks majestic, but in fact it is simply a wealth of money piled up by a landlord. Regardless of plasma cannons, laser cannons, or quantum radar arrays that can perform wide-area scanning, these scientific and technological equipment represent the most cutting-edge science and technology, but there are still many technical problems that have not been overcome in order to move from laboratory products to practical equipment. Therefore, in Tang Fang's words, the guard fleet that the young duke is proud of is flashy, rich and willful.

But at the moment these triangular pyramid warship forces that have been blasted out halfway are truly mastering warship craftsmanship that surpasses the current technological level.

A heavy-duty missile equipped with a fusion core and a diamond matrix; an aerospace fighter equipped with a honeycomb-shaped small-caliber laser transmitter and a diamond-shaped matrix; integrated miniature aircraft carrier platform, advanced curved intercept equipment, ultra-high-power nuclear fusion plasma engine, large-caliber laser Weapons and a triangular pyramid battleship with a large diamond matrix;

From the above, it can be seen that the unknown force has at least the following technologies:

1 The miniaturization and high efficiency of laser weapons have successfully solved the problem of heat dissipation and core overload under high-frequency shooting.

Second, the miniaturization, practicality and versatility of nuclear fusion technology.

Third, the very mature shield technology can be refined or simplified.

Fourth, advanced warp speed interception equipment can implement precise interception operations.

Fifth, the existence of a miniature aircraft carrier platform means that the internal space of the 170-meter warship takes up less space and is more efficient for each system module, and even the number of crew members is greatly reduced.

At this moment, Tang Fang stood in front of the combat console, staring at the battle image on the bridge No. 2 screen in silence. In fact, he felt very shocked deep in his heart, but he knew he must show a calm side. Because only in this way, can the nervous mood of Claire and others be soothed.

Encountered interception, the "Aurora" shield was damaged, the enemy ships were chasing after him, and the technology was terrifying... I am afraid that no one would be happy even in this situation. (To be continued)
