Volume 3 Chapter 55: The Outbreak of War (8/25)
The commander of the Third Squadron of the Sixth Fleet saw on the large screen in the mothership's main control room that the enemy fleet had begun to prepare for battle in a hurry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the enemy fleet appeared to be a little flustered, it still reacted quite quickly, which showed the quality of the opposing soldiers. However, it was interfered with and the communication was not smooth, which made the other party look a little chaotic.
This deputy commander of the fleet is an artificial human. The appearance of androids is not the same, but most of them have one thing in common: indifference.
He stared at the big screen for a moment, and soon, he received reports from four more groups of mothership formations. After reading it, he said indifferently: "Order the assault fleet to complete the combat formation on the way forward." Inform the Han Wu: Our troops have encountered the enemy and have taken control of the situation. ”
The two motherships under his personal command carried a total of sixty-two assault fleets. These fleets will all be put into battle, and the strength will reach more than 31,000 capital ships. This force seems to be less than the enemy fleet in front of it. But let's not forget, he also has two motherships, and the combat effectiveness of the main battleship is also far superior to that of the local capital battleship.
Not to mention that his two motherships have actually suppressed the entire battlefield.
However, he still needs to know how many troops there are in the place: "Is the detection result out?" How many ships are there on the enemy? ”
"Report to the commander, the local ships are about forty-five thousand capital ships. There were about 30,000 small warships. ”
A schematic diagram of both types of battleships is shown on a large screen. One is the capital ship of Pontutru, which is only a little more than four thousand meters long, and the other is even smaller, with a length of only seven or eight hundred meters, which should be an auxiliary warship.
Pontutru's capital ship, the alien, is quite peculiar. The main body resembles an elongated mortar shell, the hull is octahedral with a conical shape in front, an octahedron in the middle, and six balanced rudders in the rear. In the middle of the hull there are two concentric rings with a diameter of more than two kilometers.
The deputy commander of the fleet had already memorized the information of this main battleship. Those two rings were the main points of fire for Pontutru, and more than 2,200 twin high-level laser guns were mounted on them. And the firepower points on the hull are only more than 900. Of course, the most powerful firepower output of this type of battleship is located in front of the battleship. There's a giant laser launcher with an excitation energy level of more than thirty. However, the main gun's attack range is very narrow, only a three-degree circle to the front end.
The deputy commander looked at the picture of the assault fleet flying towards the enemy fleet at high speed on the big screen, and watched the main warships reorganize at high speed. He also ordered: "Order the Ma Dai to prepare for replacement." ”
At this time, the Pontutru fleet on the opposite side was in chaos.
They didn't detect the enemy when they spotted it. Instead, it was interfered with by a high energy level that the enemy appeared.
Although they cannot be detected due to interference, they can still determine the coordinates of the enemy through the reaction of the interference source's energy field. At this point, the enemy was less than sixty light-seconds away from their base, and that distance wasn't that far. Because the other side sails very fast.
This is a group army-level fleet of the Pontutru Empire, with more than 70,000 warships and warships. This is a formidable military force throughout the Pontutru system. But now they are in a state of blind movement. The governor of this army group was not incompetent. He knew that under strong interference, he would not be able to effectively command the fleet.
The only way to deal with interference is to release a communication signal that is stronger than the energy level of the interferer. If it was in space, he would be at a loss, but here is their base. He knew that his flagship could not have sent out such a communication signal, so he had not even thought about going to that flagship.
The Spaceport's powerful detection system soon detected the Aurora fleet.
The governor stayed in the main control room of the spaceport, and kept issuing orders with a fixed face: "Send a communication to the headquarters of the military region about the encounter with the enemy." Number of enemies. ”
"Order the First Fleet to assemble on the right flank of the spaceport and the Second Fleet on the left flank. The rest of the fleet confronted the enemy head-on. ”
"Your Excellency Governor, the enemy's interference is too strong, and the effective range of the base's communication signal is only eleven rays!" The Minister of Communications in the spaceport said with a panic.
The Governor glanced at him, quite dissatisfied with the minister. Thinks he is not worthy of being a Pontutru known for his bravery at all. His timidity reminded the Governor of the slaves: "Drag him down!" The Ministry of Communications is now in charge of the Deputy Minister. ”
"Governor ......" The minister wanted to say something, but he had been punched directly in the mouth by the governor's guard, and eight teeth fell out, and only blood spit out of his mouth, no words.
The governor didn't even look at the minister who was towed away, and continued to order: "Order the field communication ship, and the situation of the base must be reported to the headquarters." Although the minister's panic displeased him. But the problem that the other side said was a problem that had to be solved.
Under strong interference, the communication signal of the spaceport decays too quickly, and even if the communication signal is transmitted, it will not be able to accurately send out the effective signal due to interference. So he could only let the Occupy Communications Ship complete this task.
His adjutant listened to his order and reminded: "My lord, the enemy's interference range is very large, and it takes a long time for the battlefield communication ship to leave the interference area for normal navigation. ”
"Let them jump!"
"But it's dangerous." When the adjutant heard this, he immediately disagreed. "My lord, the energy level of the Leap Energy Field activated by the communication ship is very low, and it will be very vulnerable under strong interference."
"As long as one ship can succeed, they will complete the mission."
The adjutant opened his mouth, but could not say anything. Eventually, he said, "Yes." ”
The Spaceport's reconnaissance department reported loudly: "Lord Governor, the local fleet is within effective range of our fleet. ”
"Order the fleets to fight autonomously." The Governor said coldly. He knew that if he could be on the flagship, he could make the fleet more flexible, but the flagship's command system had completely failed under such strong interference. The command of the fleet under its banner also does not work at all. Now the orders of the fleet commanders had to pass through the spaceport before they could be transmitted to the warships.
But while it was possible to command the fleet, there was a potentially fatal delay in between.
The deputy commander of the Aurora fleet was calm, having just received a report that the enemy fleet had fired its first salvo.
The distance between the two sides is still more than forty lightseconds, and such a salvo of laser light can be calmly avoided by the assault fleet.
"Mardai Report: All Assault Fleet Dropped."
The deputy commander's face was grim, and he almost immediately ordered: "Order the Ma Dai to act as planned immediately." ”
"Yes."
After a while, the space where the Mardai was located was slightly distorted, and the entire mothership suddenly disappeared into space. A few seconds later, at a distance of about twenty lightseconds on the back of the Pontutroux spaceport, a void also distorted slightly. After the space warp, the Mardai appeared.
The distance from which the Mardai appeared was within the effective detection range of the Pontutru spaceport.
It suddenly appeared on the other side of the spaceport, and even the normally calm governor of Pontutru was dismayed, and in this direction, they did not deploy any troops.
The main control room of the Mardai was also busy.
"The replacement is complete, and the energy shield is urgently activated."
"The structure of the whole ship is normal!"
"The thermal system is storing energy normally."
The captain of the Mardai listened to the various reports in just a few seconds, and Xuaner ordered: "Turn the rudder 90 degrees." The target enemy spaceport is to fire freely from the main guns of the whole ship. ”
The spaceport of Pontutrum is even larger than the New Earth. But there are a lot of berths in the middle, so it's basically hollow. This makes it a lot of targets.
After the order of the captain of the Mardai was given, the main brain immediately began to calculate, so that the firepower of the whole ship would not attack the same target repeatedly.
The battleship was turning, all the main guns received orders from the mastermind, and the turrets rotated and began to aim at the target.
The muzzles of two of the main guns in the bow of the ship slammed back, leaving room for distortion. Two conglomerated energy particles shot away at several times the speed of light at one of the berths of the Tutru spaceport.
Almost at the same time, the other main guns on the Mardai also began to attack. Each turret has nine main guns, and each turret is assigned dozens of targets at the same time.
The Mardai sailed at high speed, dodging hundreds of massive laser beams launched from the spaceport.
The main guns outside the ship constantly fired shaped shells. After firing five shots from the main gun on one side, the main gun was fully charged, and it maneuvered again, allowing the spaceport to enter the main gun range on the other side of the hull.
Just seconds after the first batch of energy cannons broke out of their guns, the Pontutru spaceport erupted in a cloud of light. A single energy cannonball hits the entire shipyard.
In just two minutes, the ship's main guns were fired. At this time, the spaceport of Pontutru had no strength to fight back, and the first target of the Mardai's attack was its defense system.
Millions of rounds of energy balls hit the designated targets without exception. The Pontutru spaceport does not have any maneuverability at all, it is just a target.
After all the energy balls emitted by the Mardai were hit, the spaceport continued to explode. However, before the Mardai could detect the specific extent of the damage to the spaceport, the Pontutru fleet that had been deployed on both sides of the spaceport had already rushed over.
"Report, the enemy fleet launched a salvo attack!"
