Volume 3 Chapter 57: Mothership vs. Planet: Victory on the Horizon (7/25)
"Marshal, the observer has sent a message that the main forces of the 1st Military District of Pontutru have moved. ”
After annihilating all the main fleets of the four military regions of Pantutru, Zhuang Bifan did not let the expeditionary fleet directly attack the base areas of the other military regions, but each fleet was replaced by the edge of the remaining military regions of Pantutru and advanced. They attack only military installations in those military districts, and all industries that have a military role.
It will even attack the army camp on the administrative planet from space.
Each mothership operates independently, each commanding its own assault fleet, and each assault fleet directly replaces or jumps to the vicinity of the target.
The expeditionary fleet advanced from the periphery of the Pontutru Empire to the center, destroying all the space ports of the administrative planet in its path. All Space Factories and Surface Factories have also been attacked by Doom.
This forced the Pontutru military, which wanted to concentrate its forces against the Aurora fleet, to disperse its forces to protect the important administrative star.
Zhuang Bifan has read the information. Intelligence shows that there is a group army of nearly 20,000 Pontutru warships near the administrative star of the capital of Pontutru, and there are also five artificial satellite defense fortresses with a diameter of more than 500 kilometers, such as the equatorial synchronous ring. And, of course, high-level ground defense systems.
The Pontutru Capital Star belongs to the First Military Region, which originally had more than half a million capital warships, and now those warships have been scattered to dozens of important administrative stars. The capital city of Nimea has more than 20,000 capital warships, which is already quite a strong defensive force.
However, Zhuang Bifan did not take that bit of strength into account.
The Hanwu and Song Xian carried a total of 74 assault fleets, with a total of 37,000 capital ships.
"Order: The Han Wu and the Song Xian are in a state of special combat readiness. Twenty minutes later, the rear mothership launched the space replacement according to the predetermined plan. He has been waiting for this for more than three days.
"Order, the expeditionary fleet to complete the fleet recovery within two hours, and start the launch of Project Four. ”
Twenty minutes passed, and the captain of the Hanwu saluted Zhuang Bifan and said loudly: "Report to the marshal, the Hanwu has completed the special combat readiness response!"
Zhuang Bifan asked, "How is Song Xian preparing?"
"Song Xian reported that the super-level combat readiness response has been completed. ”
"Inform Song Xian, and the space will be replaced in a minute. ”
"Yes!" the captain of the Hanwu immediately turned around and walked towards the center console, thinking that the Song Xian would convey Zhuang Bifan's order.
A minute later, the captain of the Hanwu directly ordered: "Start self-space replacement, coordinates ......"
"Short-distance" space displacement with a short time in between. In just over twenty seconds, Hanwu and Song Xian appeared in space about thirty light-seconds away from Nemea. They appear on the inner side of the planet's orbit.
The replacement was completed on the Hanwu when the siren sounded.
The communication group immediately reported loudly: "Our ship has entered a strong interference zone, and the interference energy level is 5.8. The source of the interference is the synchronizing ring of the Nemea star. ”
The purpose of activating strong interference near the planet is probably only one, and that is to prevent the local fleet from moving directly to the vicinity of the planet. It's just that they probably didn't expect that there would be teleportation technology that would not be disturbed and was stronger than spatial jumping.
"Start the jamming system. Drop assault fleets and floating attackers. ”
The communications group repeated his orders while conveying them to all positions on the ship.
"Enemy satellite fortresses produce a strong energy fluctuation signature. It is suspected that the attack is being prepared, and the target of the attack is the Hanwu!"
"Order the off-ship assault fleet to move away from the mothership as quickly as possible. The Hanwu prepares for evasive maneuvers. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Pontutru Satellite Fortress opposite him sent out a beam of Rayser with a diameter of at least one kilometer, and the extremely large speed of light was like a light knife stabbing straight towards the Han Wu.
However, that kind of attack will not have any effect at all, the attack density is too low, and no matter how strong the energy output is, it will not help against long-range targets.
Zhuang Bifan thought that he could avoid being hit by evading. The reconnaissance group raised the alarm: "Enemy satellite fortress attacks are always directed at our ship. Twenty seconds later, our ship will be hit. ”
Zhuang Bifan was taken aback and immediately ordered: "Stop sending the assault fleet." Activate Extreme Protection. ”
Within three seconds, all the hatches of the assault battle ships were closed. The energy shield outside the ship is getting stronger and stronger, and there are even signs of materialization.
The pillar of light emitted by the fortress satellite of Pontutru was indeed like a light knife half sweeping across the sky and directly hitting the Hanwu, no matter how the Hanwu maneuvered, the speed of light was like a huge rope connecting the Hanwu and the fortress.
The energy shield outside the Han Wu slowly brightened as it absorbed the energy of the Raythor Light Pillar, and began to glow outwards like a huge light bulb.
It was a beautiful sight, but it was a dangerous signal for the Han Wu: "Energy Shield's energy loss rate is 2.4." After eighteen seconds, the attacking beam energy cannot be neutralized. ”
Zhuang Bifan did not react to this. Now it's just a matter of who can't hold it first between the Hanwu and the main guns of that fortress. When the shield energy is reduced to a threshold, the pillar of light emitted by the fortress will break through the shield barrier and shine on the Hanwu.
And the energy-absorbing armor on the Hanwu doesn't know if it can block such a high energy.
At most, there will be a result after eighteen seconds, whether it is the failure of the fortress of Pontutru and the return of the Hanwu that is seriously injured or even destroyed, the result will be known.
While waiting, every second is longer than a year. Zhuang Bifan was even ready to be directly replaced outside the ship.
The countdown was displayed on the big screen, and finally disappeared at six turns five. The reconnaissance team reported in a relaxed tone: "The main artillery of the enemy fortress has stopped projecting energy. ”
The main cannon of that stronghold will not be able to withstand the longer energy release time, or the main cannon's energy reserves will be depleted. If they knew that they would be able to successfully destroy the Han Wu in six seconds, I wonder if they would have crashed into the wall in frustration.
But Zhuang Bifan will not give them that opportunity: "Order, main artillery attack, target Nimea Star concentric ring!"
Relatively speaking, in order to attack a target that is close to the target, it does not take too much computing for the master of the Hanwu to transmit the attack data to the control system of each turret.
The turret on the Hanwu shook and shot out the high-speed energy ball, but the hull was still maneuvering, but the maneuvering no longer affected the delivery of the assault fleet and floating attackers.
But soon, the reconnaissance team issued another warning: "Nemea Star concentrically circled towards the Hanwu and Song Xian. ”
Zhuang Bifan also did not react to this.
As soon as the warning words of the detection team fell, the concentric rings of Nemea suddenly exploded in many places. The Hanwu main gun attack hits.
Zhuang Bifan watched as the concentric ring, which was more than thirty kilometers in diameter, broke in the [explosion] explosion and slowly collapsed.
At the same time, countless mushroom clouds erupted on the surface of Nemea, which were energy clusters that fell into the planet after losing their target. However, most of the explosions take place on the surface of the sea, and I don't know if such a violent energy reaction will have an impact on the climate of Nimea.
But now Zhuang Bifan can't care about that.
"Stop the enemy's interference! Our interference sources will suppress the enemy. ”
The concentric rings were destroyed, and the laser light that was supposed to track and shoot lost its follow-up energy and turned into a straight line that cut through the void diagonally, but when it passed through the original trajectory of the Han Wu, it was still the void that was cut.
"Report, a strong energy level quantum detection energy has been found on the surface of Nemea, and our interference cannot be suppressed. The enemy's three fortress energy reactions are aimed at our ship. ”
There are only three satellite fortresses that can be seen from the front of the Hanwu, and it seems that the other party intends to concentrate on killing the Hanwu first.
He had just taken out the concentric rings of the planet Nemea in order to deprive Pontutru of the ability to track and shoot, but now it appears that they used the surface detection system to provide guidance to the satellite fortress and the space warship.
Of course, he will not take the same risk as he did just now: "Attack with floating attackers, target enemy satellite fortresses." The main artillery attack, the target enemy attacking the fleet. ”
As a result, the mobile attacker in front of the Hanwu spewed thousands of kilometers of tailitis and retreated at high speed, and a cluster of concentrated particles with greater mass and higher speed flew towards the satellite fortress with almost no evasion ability.
Obviously, those satellite fortresses also detected Han Wuhao's attack. As they fired a giant beam, they formed an energy shield outside the fortress. After getting the huge pillar of light to pierce the shield of the fortress, the energy loss is less than 5%.
Of course, that kind of energy shield can't consume the energy shell outside the particle cluster. Ten kilograms of compressed particles at eight times the speed of light could penetrate the shield as easily as a sewing needle inserting water into tofu, almost penetrating into the very sturdy armor of the satellite fortress at the same time.
Several balls of light grow from the surface of the satellite fortress from one or more rapidly growing clusters, and finally the ball of light covers the entire surface of the fortress. At least from the Hanwu.
The three satellite fortresses had stopped attacking, and Zhuang Bifan did not know the result of the attack for the time being, and did not continue to attack them. On the contrary, after discovering them, he wanted them to outflank the Pontutru fleet. The assault fleet that has been put on the mothership has not yet been fully reorganized, and there are not enough troops to stop it for a while.
Those Pontutru fleets had already fired a salvo at Han Wu from afar. Looking at their posture, they are going to rely on ground guidance to shoot at the Hanwu. If it was an ordinary laser cannon, Zhuang Bifan was not worried about how much of a threat that such a salvo could pose to the Han Wu.
However, Pontutru's capital ship has a large laser emitter with a diameter in the bow. Tens of thousands of warships were aiming and firing with such main guns at the same time, and Zhuang Bifan also had to worry about whether the shield of the Hanwu could hold up.
At this time, the reconnaissance team suddenly reported: "The frontal surface detection system of Nemea has been destroyed by the Song Xian." ”
Zhuang Bifan looked at the Nemea Star on the big screen, and found that some mushroom clouds appeared on the surface, thinking that the place where the attack was was was located was the location of those detection systems.
In the image displayed on the large screen, the light on the three satellite fortresses has dissipated. Reveal the tragic situation after being attacked.
