Chapter 43: Windfall

The system AI in this era is not high, and if the turret fire is completely controlled by the system, then the system will let each turret shoot the nearest mobile suit according to the proximity principle. www.biquge.info The artillery fire matrix formed by such an attack will give priority to the closest and most threatening enemy to the ship. When Monica's "Illusion" is activated, if the system automatically fires, it will only shoot down the three or four Mobile Suits closest to the Tempest.

Arthur, the chief fire controller of the "Storm", must have his own merits as an awakened person, but he lives in the shadow of the "storm" on weekdays and does not have the opportunity to show his strength. Its awakening ability is named "Bloom" by Clegg Psychic Power Coverage Lock, combined with the Psychic Power Imaging System and the sister version of the Psychic Power Piloting System - Psychic Fire Control System, which can replace the system to assign firing targets to the turrets of the whole ship.

With the cooperation of "Illusion" and "Bloom", the "Tempest" completed the most glorious attack on Mobile Suit by a warship in the history of space warfare.

It's a pity that no one except the "Storm" can see the mystery of this wave of attacks.

This wave of shelling of the "Tempest" and the inexplicable downing of the EM prototype completely destroyed the morale of the pirate pilots. And at this time, their numerical advantage has almost disappeared, and the number of people who have been shot down in front and behind has exceeded half of the total number of airframes, and at this time there are only less than 10 more than the opponent.

Faced with this situation, the pirate pilots, without exception, all chose to flee, throwing off their armor and flying towards their own warships.

Fortunately, the commander of the security company and the head of the caravan are still sober-minded and know the truth of the poor and the poor. This is a caravan, not an Earth Federation's bandit fleet, and there is no need to wipe out a pirate.

Moreover, the opponent still has a full 13 warships, and with the limited number of mobile suits in the caravan, it is impossible to completely annihilate the opponent, if the opponent is forced to rush and fire the main gun salvo again, the caravan will have to lose one or two ships before it can stop. For businessmen, this kind of thing is not worth the cost.

So under the constraints of the commander, the pilots of the caravan drove the pirates out of the distance with long-range fire, and then abandoned the pursuit.

Seeing that this battle had been fought like this, the pirate leader knew that his side had no chance of winning. More than half of the Mobile Suits, including Haag's EM prototype, were shot down, and two warships were sunk due to the explosion of their main guns, and the fleet's losses were very large, even exceeding the bandit fleet that encountered the Earth Federation in previous months.

This result can be said to be very incredible, but now is not the time to investigate the reason, since the caravan consciously wants to end the battle, the pirate leader can't ask for it, taking advantage of the fact that the losses are not further expanded, he quickly gathered the remnants of the defeated army and quickly withdrew from this airspace.

Next, the caravan cleaned up the battlefield a little, recovered the several mobile suits that were downed on their side, and saw if the pilots had a chance to save them, and the bodies of those who had died should also be collected.

And the "Tempest" also took this opportunity to secretly recover the "Storm" No. 3 aircraft on board, and no one knew from beginning to end that this destroyer was actually the absolute main force in this battle.

Still, the caravan leader sent a message of congratulations and thanks. In the somewhat inexplicable nature of the victory, the caravan could only attribute part of the victory to the "fearless" assault of the Tempest.

Luo Yunxi also said a few words modestly, saying that such achievements were all due to the poor quality of the pirate pilots and the luck of his own battleship. Only by saying this can the caravan be prevented from delving further into the reasons for the victory.

As for what was going on with the EM prototype, the person in charge of the caravan naturally did not come to ask Luo Yunxi, but looked back at the video data in confusion. However, the video was not recorded, and the area where the EM prototype was located in the middle was blurred for a moment, and when the picture was restored, only the wreckage that had been cut into two pieces was visible, and it was completely impossible to see how it happened.

In fact, it is not that the image was not recorded at all, but at that moment, the "Storm" No. 3 in the optically invisible state swept past the EM prototype at high speed, and the shadow area covered it for a moment, causing it to be unable to be displayed in the captured image of the optical sensor. And because the process is so short-lived, the picture is blurred by only a few tenths of a second, almost exceeding the limit resolution of the human eye's 24 frames per second.

If the person in charge of the caravan asks each ship to review the video data for comparison, it will be found that the time point of the blurring of the picture is surprisingly consistent, and if the analysis continues, it will come to the conclusion that the light blocking effect of the R particles will be concluded, which will lead to a deeper discussion.

However, the caravan leader blamed the problem on the failure of the optical sensor or the system, and gave up further research. As a pragmatic businessman, he is not a curious person, as long as the battle is won, he has no interest in delving into the process of fighting.

Naturally, the merchants did not need to review the whole battle, they only needed a victorious result. However, the commanders of the four warships of the security company have more doubts about the issue of the EM prototype, and they also have the desire to continue to delve into it. It's a pity that he doesn't have time for the time being, and recovering the wreckage of the downed mobile suit and collecting the body of the pilot is a top priority. After completing this, the caravan will continue to travel, and it will not be appropriate to stay in this place of right and wrong. So he could only put this question aside for the time being, and wait until he had time to study it later.

As for the "Storm", in order to recover the "Storm" No. 3 aircraft, Luo Yunxi pretended to collect the wreckage of the EM prototype to cover people's eyes. Who wanted to really recover the wreckage, but there was a windfall - Haag.

Yes, Haag is not dead. Even though the EM prototype was cut in two, and even the cockpit was cut open, he survived.

Turning their gaze back to the previous battle, just as everyone's attention was drawn to the "Tempest" that had burst into the pirate maneuvering array, the attack of the "Storm" 3 finally descended on the EM prototype.

Haag's hunch told him that he couldn't dodge the blow, so he gave up his senseless resistance and instead curled up in the cockpit with minimal volume. When Storm 3's 189W Super Alloy Saber sliced through the cockpit, the blade slashed a few centimeters above his head, nearly cutting through his airtight suit.

Some pilots are reluctant to fly a mobile suit in an airtight suit, believing that this will affect their flexibility. Among the ace pilots, there are quite a few people who have this kind of thinking and habits, but they do not include Haag, the "survival stream ace".

He has been in the army as a pilot for more than ten years and has seen too many things.

Although according to probability statistics, among the mobile suits that were downed on the battlefield, the proportion of pilots who could survive in the end was no more than 10%, while 30% of the pilots were directly killed by the opponent's attack, and the other 50% were killed by a small injury in the process of being knocked down, and the blood in the body was drained by the vacuum of space.

But in the end, half of the pilots were frozen to death or suffocated. The part that died of suffocation was because they did not wear airtight suits, and those who froze to death were even more unlucky, because they did not receive timely rescue, and eventually died due to the loss of body temperature.

Haag's skills aren't great, so there's no such thing as a nuance in handling that can make the difference between victory and defeat in an airtight suit. He would rather be on the safe side, and it was this mindset that saved him today.

And, of course, his sudden awakening of premonition and good luck, which combined with his ability to survive the attack of Storm 3.

It's really not easy, it's not easy!

After being recovered by the Tempest, Haag immediately expressed his desire to see the Storm.
