Chapter 21: The Awakened Debut
Although he had learned about the M8 star field beforehand, when the "Pirate" fleet first entered NF-01, Fengyu was still attracted to this strange star field. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
M8-type stars are themselves small, only one-tenth the diameter of the G2 type stars of the solar species, which is equivalent to the size of Jupiter, the largest planet in the heliosphere. Such a small star also has planets orbiting, and one of them is simply the size of Jupiter. Visually, the satellite, which is closer to the "pirate" fleet at this time, seems to be larger than the NF-01 star, which makes people feel a little confused.
In the orbits of the many moons of this type of Jupiter, dozens of space cities are located at the L4 and L5 Lagrangian points of these moons, orbiting with the moons. These are the large industrial and mining bases of NO.
In fact, the current technology of mankind is not able to mine the mineral resources on giant planets such as Jupitus, and such giant planets are gas planets, and there are no metal minerals to mine. NF-01's main mineral mining takes place on the second and third planets, two terrestrial planets with low temperatures.
Since NF-01 has a complete industrial chain from mining to industrial products, it requires dozens of processing plants with different functional properties to achieve, and naturally it cannot be satisfied by one or two space cities. One of the characteristics of terrestrial planets is that the number of satellites is very limited, and there are not enough Lagrange points to build space cities.
As a result, the giant planets with dozens of satellites at every turn are the dense area of the space city, just like the seventh planet night star in the Tianjing star field, and the entire industrial chain of the night star shipyard is built by a large number of space cities, providing various types of warships for the new Asian military.
Therefore, the fourth planet the size of Jupiter is used as the post-processing base of NF-01, and a large number of space cities are responsible for different links in the industrial chain.
The purpose of the "Corsair" fleet's trip is to destroy these space cities and destroy the industrial chain of NF-01. As for the armed convoy that is nothing more than a roadblock in the process of achieving this goal, it is slaughtered.
NO's fleet is stationed in these Space City areas, and will not sail until a caravan is about to ship a large amount of cargo, escorting the caravan to the nearby Earth Federated Control Zone and back. Such escorts are carried out about 4 times a year on a quarterly basis, and each time takes nearly two and a half months. Over the course of a year, the fleet stayed in port for a little more than two months. It's not easy to meet them in the harbor.
But the luck of the "pirate" fleet seemed to be good, and a sixth chance was met by them. Although the task of destroying the space city will be simpler without an armed escort fleet stationed, it is obviously more meaningful for the "pirate" fleet, the newly debuted captains and pilots, to have a small scale and intensity of actual combat. Both Fengyu and Groningen are happy to see this happen.
However, the luck of the "pirate" fleet does not seem to be very good, and they enter the channel of NF-01 with high-speed ships on guard, and they are unable to carry out a sneak attack after revealing their whereabouts. And compared to the young "pirate" fleet, this escort fleet of NO, although not very strong, is obviously more experienced.
The high-speed ship that spotted the "pirate" fleet immediately flew back to the base in a short curvature to inform the fleet, and by the time they entered the star field, the escort fleet was ready.
Fortunately, Fengyu and Groningen also wanted to train the fleet's actual combat capabilities through a frontal battle, and they did not regret such a situation.
So just when both sides were in formation at the same time, the debut of the "Pirate" fleet began.
A defensive array of 500 iron balls was densely laid out over there, and 15 third-generation MSs were pressing behind the iron ball array. However, when they saw a full 200 third-generation and semi-mobile suits with R-particle shields appearing on the opposite side, despair suddenly enveloped the escort fleet.
However, this was only the beginning, and as the battle broke out, they really saw the perversion of these pilots. Iron Ball's particle beam rifle had little effect on the R particle shield, and the pilots on the side of the "pirate" fleet who couldn't bear it immediately retreated and were replaced by other mobile suits. The only 15 of their mobile suits always missed, as if they were cursed, and they always hit each other.
This is the effect of "must flash".
Awoken pilots are unable to use this Awakening ability against up to 500 Iron Ball pilots, but they can interfere with the more threatening Mobile Suits in the rear.
On the other hand, on the side of the "pirate" fleet, the threat posed by long-range firepower is greater, and the pilots with "must hit" mainly attack the opponent's MS, while other pilots fire at ordinary iron balls. After a wave of attacks, dozens of iron balls were blown up, and the MS was also shot down as many as 6, which was completely a one-sided slaughter.
Seeing this scene, Fengyu's expression who stayed in the bridge of the flagship to watch the battle was also very exciting, mixed blessings.
Happily, these first-time pilots have performed far better than expected, with no casualties appearing so far, and only a few mobile suits in front of them were wounded by the shattering of the R-particle shield, but fortunately they were able to withdraw in time. This is also thanks to the formation and the usual drills are well done.
As for worry, it's because of Fengyu himself. He found that compared to these rookies, his awakening ability didn't seem to be so useful, and his outgoing personality was not like "Flash" and "Hit" These abilities can play a winning role, except for providing some simple assistance like a high-hanging satellite.
He could imagine how passive he would be in battle if he encountered a ranged ace with one of these two abilities, and if he didn't get it right, he would be knocked down. This devastated him.
The battle progressed quickly, as the opposing side lacked the decisive force to disrupt the array of awakened pilots, which allowed the young pilots who were participating in actual combat for the first time to calmly put into full play what they had learned in their usual lives.
Even if the NO side directly launched the battleship's main gun fire, because of the remote distance, it gave the mobile suit enough time to dodge, and failed to change the passive situation of this escort fleet.
As time passed, NO's 15 MSs were quickly cleared by the Awakened pilots with "Must-hit", leaving only a few hundred Iron Balls with low combat effectiveness.
With Fengyu's order, the mobile array of the "pirate" fleet began to press, approaching the opposing warship.
At this moment, an inconspicuous high-speed ship quietly approached the battlefield.
Feng Yu glanced at it vigilantly, turned to Groningen and said, "It seems that there are still masters here, it's time for me to play." ”
