Chapter Seventy-Four: Four Generations of Mass Production
The MS-102 prototype was designed at a speed of 230 km/s, and the fourth-generation MS after mass production has to consider the cost, which is certainly not so fast, but it will not be much worse. According to www.biquge.info feeling after the actual hand-to-hand fight of Fengyu, the speed of the mass-produced model should be 200 kilometers per second.
At the same time, compared with the diverse weapons of the prototype, the production model still uses the traditional UAC old three, namely a 40mm particle beam rifle, an alloy saber and a shoulder quadruple rocket. Of course, this is the MS-A general-purpose weapon, and the other three models will naturally be adjusted, but in general, they still follow the habits of the past, and are not equipped with the amazing particle beam lance and particle beam sickle that were used in the original prototype.
However, the two melee Vulcan cannons with a range of only two kilometers on the head of the prototype have been retained to improve the aggressiveness of the fourth-generation MS melee combat.
Even as an ace pilot, Fengyu struggled with the fourth-generation mass production model for the first time. The XME-250S engine no longer has much advantage in front of the opponent, and it is not as easy as before in the face of group fights, so that he can no longer see the other party as a set of numbers as before.
What's more, the two new warships of the 1st formation inherit the carrying power of supernova and superstar, which can carry 6 and 2 mobile teams respectively. As a result, the number of squads of the entire mobile squadron reached 28 instead of the previous 20. This is also in line with the needs of the changing times, the iron ball has withdrawn from the main battlefield, the battleship has been reduced to a support, and the mobile suit has become the absolute main force, so it is natural to increase the number of its establishment.
The number increases, the speed increases, the firepower increases, and after the superposition of several indicators, the combat effectiveness of the 1st formation is almost twice that of the other formations. In the face of such a powerful opponent, Fengyu decisively gave up the plan to let the "quasi-ace team" play, and was ready to carry the battle alone.
Because this battle is actually very simple, not to kill the enemy, but to deter.
After receiving Fengyu's instructions, the "Tempest", which had been swaggering at a distance of 30,000 kilometers from the 9th Fleet base, re-entered the optically invisible state to avoid being sunk. Knowing that there was no chance to play, the Awoken pilots came to the bridge to watch the battle, and by the way, they learned about the superiority of the fourth-generation aircraft that was about to become the mainstream of the space battlefield.
From Luo Yunxi's perspective shared by the Psychic Imaging System, they can clearly see that Mobile Suit WS is not easy to fight under the siege of the fourth generation of MS. Without an absolute speed advantage, the previous scene of slashing one by one can no longer be reproduced, but it looks a little embarrassed because of the sudden attack of the two-barreled melee Vulcan cannon in the head of the fourth-generation MS.
However, the biggest problem with the Vulcan cannon is that the recoil is too large, and it lacks shooting accuracy, but it does not bring substantial damage to Fengyu.
To the onlookers, Feng Yu seemed to be just a little struggling, but his real feeling was that he was so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood. It's not that he lacks battlefield dominance without the advantage of his body's performance, but that something is wrong with his body.
After being hit by a concussive bomb before, his internal organs have been damaged, but it is not serious, as long as he rests for a few days or simply soaks in the nutrition tank for a few hours, he can fully recover.
But he chose to continue fighting. When faced with a fourth-generation MS with almost the same performance as Mobile Suit WS, the opponent has a numerical advantage, and in order to maintain those slight speed advantages, he has to keep the engine running at full capacity, and every maneuver is used to the extreme.
As a result, Fengyu's body was subjected to too much load, causing the originally minor internal injuries to deteriorate into internal bleeding. Especially when he tried to storm an MS, the other party saw that he couldn't parry, and suddenly launched a head melee Vulcan cannon attack.
This was also the first time Feng Yu had faced this weapon in person, and seeing the fiery red bullet chain coming straight to the head of his car, he had to use pulse excitation to accelerate without giving him any time to react. In this way, the overload caused by the pulse excitation is not only for the body, but also for his body, which further aggravates the injury of the internal organs, and he really almost vomits blood.
Fortunately, this blow was a wake-up call for him to focus more on defense in the rest of the battle, rather than blindly chasing to kill Liwei. In this way, in the fifth minute of the battle, the four generations of MS that Fengyu fell did not exceed the number of slaps. If the same time had been used to deal with three generations of MS, he would have collapsed a mobile squadron long ago.
In order to look at the production machine as a set of numbers as before, the Mobile Suit WS would have to be upgraded and at least need an engine of more than 300 km/s. And, of course, to have a healthy body.
And in this current battle, in the face of 140 fourth-generation MS, Fengyu has no chance to defeat the other party even if he is exhausted.
While the 1st formation and Fengyu were fighting extremely closely, the 5th formation, which returned together, did not participate in the battle, but flew directly back to the base around the battlefield to take over the defense of the 4th formation. At the same time, a red and blue exclusive custom model was finally ejected from the flagship of the fleet.
Although it can be seen that Fengyu has some difficulty dealing with the fourth generation of MS, the commander of the 9th Fleet is still reluctant to lose too much after all. You must know that the supply of the fourth-generation mass-produced model is now in short supply, and the first round of refitting has not yet been completed, and only one reinforced squadron is given priority to the first-line fleets of the two major theaters of New Asia and New Africa, and even the fleets of the native New American Galaxy are still waiting in line for redressing. At this time, the lost fourth-generation MS cannot be replenished, unlike the third-generation models that are on the verge of obsolescence.
Therefore, when he went to the WG1 Shipping Center before, he learned that the pilots of the 2nd and 3rd formations were all safe and sound, but they were only confiscated and destroyed, and the commander of the 9th Fleet actually felt a little grateful to Fengyu in his heart, thanking him for not killing him and leaving the most valuable human resources. As for the loss of the three generations of MS, it can be replenished with a report, and it is not a big deal.
Now, the fleet commander is not ready to continue to sacrifice the precious four generations of MS, but intends to have the ace pilot come forward and make a break with Fengyu. It is said that this "Storm" has become a Super Ace, and if he can be killed here, it will be a strategic victory, which can fully make up for all previous losses, and the 9th Fleet will not only not be disgraced, but will also become the first fleet to defeat a Super Ace.
As for why he has such confidence, or because "Storm" is a well-known stream-of-consciousness trump card, and martial arts is not his forte. The reason why the 9th Fleet was cut off by him last year was not because of Fengyu's good technology, but because of the concussion bomb he carried. In other words, if there were no concussion bombs, Fengyu really couldn't help that trump card.
And today, the lone ace of the 9th Fleet, is their chief ace pilot. The Fleet Commander had every reason to believe that this Stream of Consciousness ace under his command would be able to defeat a stream-of-consciousness ace who had just been hit by a concussion bomb before.
Another ace showdown is about to begin.
