Chapter 17 Desperate Pursuit
Although the two sides separated again, the Kimek escort did not choose to retreat as Fengyu expected, but continued to chase after him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even in order to cooperate with the battleship in a pocket formation, the mobile suits of the MG Brigade had to suppress the speed and move slowly at a speed of 200 kilometers per second, without the slightest intention of giving up. This situation puzzled Fengyu.
After the "Tempest" entered the optical stealth state, it has been cruising at a distance of 100,000 kilometers from the L4 base. With the flight speed of 350 km/s of the Haag "Berserker", it will take a full 4 minutes to fly.
And during this time, the Kimek convoy, which is sailing at 200 kilometers per second, will be pulled away for a full 36,000 kilometers. At such a distance, unless it is a 2000mm electromagnetic railgun with no dead angle at the L4 base, conventional weapons cannot pose a threat to the "Storm" at all, and there is no point in chasing it at all.
If at the beginning, because of the downfall of a MG belonging to the "Tempest", the Kimek escort was a little overinflated, at that time they chased and fought hard, there was some reason. But after Fengyu gave them a blow to the head just now, knocking down a double-digit MG as interest, the Kimek escort team couldn't take advantage at all, and there was no reason to continue to fight like this.
Tactically underestimating an opponent is suicidal, but anyone who makes such a mistake will probably end well. With the experience of the second-generation R particle protective film, Fengyu believes that the other party must have some hole cards that have not been revealed. It's just that he can't see any clues at the moment, so he can only wait and see.
As the number one military power in the human world today, the UAC Federation often has military science and technology that is ahead of other countries. Fengyu believes that in addition to the second-generation R particle shield, it is not surprising that the Kimec Guardian will use other new technologies.
However, as long as the regular flight speed of these ships is still limited to 200 km/s, there should be no major problems. Fengyu believes that even if the UAC Federation has the ability to equip the battleship with a range of more than 30,000 kilometers, it cannot guarantee the hit rate in the face of the "Tempest" in an optically invisible state.
Four minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the distance between Fengyu and the Kimek escort team was also smoothly widened to nearly 40,000 kilometers, but the other party still had no intention of giving up, and still followed far behind. Looking at this stance, unless the "Tempest" enters the curvature flight, they will keep catching up.
Faced with this situation, Fengyu once again estimated the chances of the Kimek Escort. Now the other side is definitely going to take advantage of the opportunity of the "Storm" to recover the mobile suit and take the opportunity to shorten the distance between the two sides.
The time it takes for the Storm to recover a Mobile Suit is 20 seconds, and two Mobile Suits can be retrieved in two cabins at the same time per unit of time. It would take four rounds for a total of 80 seconds to recover all the remaining seven mechs.
During this time, the pocket formation of the Kimek escort can chase for another 16,000 kilometers, and the distance between the two sides will be reduced to less than 20,000 kilometers.
At a distance of 20,000 kilometers, the diameter of the main gun diverges to 40 meters, and the power of hitting a battleship is only one-tenth of that of usual. However, although the power has become smaller, the hit rate has been greatly improved due to the large divergence of the diameter. If there is a sufficient number of warships, there is a real chance to hit the target at a distance of 20,000 kilometers with a covering strike.
And theoretically, shelling at this distance would still pose a threat to the "Tempest", after all, the battleship usually does not turn on the R particle shield in the optically invisible state, so as not to reduce the coverage of the shadow zone. At this time, even if you are hit by a particle beam cannon 20,000 kilometers away, you may be injured.
If it had been any other time, the Tempest might not have taken such a small injury seriously, but now it was a year-long appointment, and every second counted. Fengyu doesn't have extra time to return his ship to the factory for repairs, so it's the right choice to not be injured as much as possible.
Of course, this is only a theoretical assumption, and Feng Yu knows that the other party's purpose will never be to shell the "Tempest" with a particle beam main gun at a distance of 20,000 kilometers. Awa-ker's one-year appointment is top secret, and the Kimek escort has no way of knowing about it, and it is impossible for it to carry out such a targeted arrangement.
In his opinion, the other party should have a more powerful means. It's a pity that Fengyu doesn't have the ability to predict, and he doesn't know that the Kimek Escort has been reequipped with a terrifying weapon of mass destruction like an electron cannon.
However, he did think of a solution, which was to rely on Haag's "sense of crisis" to judge the current state of affairs.
While waiting for the "Tempest" to recover, he contacted the "Berserker" by means of mental power access: "Haag, is there a warning from your 'sense of crisis'?" I think the performance of the Kimek escort team is very abnormal, there must be some backhand! ”
"I think so, too, but at the moment, I don't have any sense of it."
At this moment, the Kimek convoy is still more than 25,000 kilometers away from here, and there is no intention of firing with the main gun for the time being. The mobile suits on Fengyu's side are all in the shadow zone of the "Tempest", and they can only rely on psychic access to maintain communication.
Luo Yunxi, on the other hand, controls the overall situation with his "reconnaissance" ability, paying attention to the dynamics of the Kimek escort. It's a pity that she didn't think about the problem of the battleship's main gun, so she didn't pay attention to those details, otherwise she would definitely find that the enemy's ship's main gun port was a little different from before.
The normal gun launch port of a battleship is flush with the bow of the ship, because particle beam weapons do not rely on the barrel to constrain the direction of chemical energy release like traditional gunpowder weapons, nor do they rely on the barrel to accelerate the metal projectile like a Gaussian gun. The firing principle is to accelerate the high-energy particle clusters provided by the R particle generator in a small particle accelerator in the fire department, and then shoot them out of the muzzle.
And the positive electron cannon, although there is little difference in the working principle of the fire department, is that there is an additional positive electron generator. However, because the positive electrons annihilate the negatively charged R particles, the emitter must be constructed of a pure neutral substance that is not charged, and it must also extend beyond the R particle guard.
At the beginning, in the second battle of the AN Barrier Zone, the NO fleet did not dare to open the R particle shield in order to allow the yang electron cannon to fire normally, otherwise the annihilation effect that occurred in their own area during the launch would be enough for them to damage themselves by 800 before injuring the enemy by 1,000.
Now, the Kimek Escort has adopted a second-generation R-particle protective film, which can make the R-particle protective layer adhere to the outer wall of the battleship. In this way, they only need to extend the main gun port forward by half a meter, and then isolate the cover of the R-particle shield in that position.
Therefore, as long as you zoom in on the overall image of the bow of the battleship, you will find the difference in this detail. It's a pity that this extension of only half a meter is like a two-centimeter-long short hair standing up on the head of a two-meter-tall destroyer, and if you don't get closer, you can't see it clearly, so you can't blame Fengyu and Luo Yunxi for ignoring this detail.
At this time, listening to Haag say that he didn't sense the danger, Feng Yu also temporarily put his mind at ease, after all, the veteran's ability is still very trustworthy. On the last trip to New America, if it were not for Haag's "sense of crisis", perhaps the "Tempest" would have already collapsed in the M320 star field or the too beautiful WH airspace.
Because of his relationship with Fengyu, Haag was placed in the third round to be recycled. The first two wheels were recovered by four MGs of GMP people, and the last one was the "Storm" No. 3 unit driven by pure mental power.
However, the moment Haag's Berserker was recovered into the Tempest's rearmament bay, an unspeakable threat of death hit his mind, making it impossible for him to sit still.
For the first time, for the first time, he used the special communication permission given to him by Fengyu to cross the team channel and directly connect to the bridge broadcast system, "Listen to my instructions, don't ask why!" Turn off the R particle generator immediately, and the left full rudder 'accelerates' forward, leaving the shadow area in 10 seconds! Act now! ”
