Chapter 9: Twin Dwarf Planets

A binary star system is a common combination of celestial bodies in the universe, consisting of two objects of relatively close mass, which may be a double star or a double planet. The orbits of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info double stars are consistent, pulling and interfering with each other.

The pair of double dwarf planets located in the discrete disk of the K field are like Pluto and Charon in the solar system. When Pluto was discovered in 1930, the existence of Charon was not known until 1978, when astronomer James Brown. Christie found a lump on the side of Pluto, which he thought was a moon and named Charon, also known as Charon. In this way, in 2006, after mankind's in-depth understanding of the universe and further observation of Pluto, it was finally realized that Charon is not a moon, but another dwarf planet with the same orbit as Pluto. This is known as a double dwarf planet system.

By the same token, the dwarf planet behind the poacher base was well hidden, and the Night-Star destroyer's observation capabilities were limited, so it wasn't until after the war that the companion star hiding behind it was detected through an abnormal energy response.

It has to be said that the poachers are not fuel-efficient lamps either, and have cunningly chosen such a double dwarf planet system as their base. Not only that, but they also placed the automated smelting base on the dwarf planet on the closer side of the K-star, and the military base on the back one, and then the fleet simply hid in the airspace between the two dwarf stars, using the gravitational balance of the L1 Lagrange point to moor.

The person who chose this base must have been a military genius who had prepared early for the possible surprise attack today. If this person is still in the poacher fleet, then this battle is not going to be easy right now.

Realizing this situation, Zhu Nan frowned, but at the same time did not forget to issue a new order, "Let the mobile team come back, and the commando team will suspend the airdrop." ”

Earlier, Fengyu, who had successfully landed on the surface of the dwarf planet, also sensed that something was wrong. Even if the poachers base had no air defense, the deployment of the mobile team was too easy, and more than a minute had passed between the time the MGAS-01 ship entered the airspace and their arrival at the surface, and the opponent's defenses had not appeared so far.

"All on alert! Don't act rashly just yet! Kuba you're back! He hurriedly gave a series of instructions.

Although the MW pilot jumped out, he didn't dare to joke with his own life when he heard Fengyu give such a cautious order. Besides, the Mobile Suit of the Hoarder fleet had not yet been discovered, and he was not happy to ask him to fight against a pile of cold buildings.

At this time, the order from the battleship came down, and the mobile team, which knew the specific situation, immediately returned home.

It's just that no matter how small a dwarf planet is, it can't be underestimated, and one-tenth of the normal gravity is not large, but it will also affect the flight speed of the mobile suit when it takes off. In the absence of any power aids, the acceleration process of flying back to the position of the MGAS-01 ship at an altitude of 2,000 kilometers from a completely stationary state is quite time-consuming.

Generally speaking, if a mobile suit is put into a surface battle, there will be a special supply pod to deliver a back-mounted booster to them for return. However, the supply pods must not be dropped as soon as the battle starts, and can only be a target for beating, which is usually not dropped until the end of the battle. And the current situation is obviously more special, they have no time to wait for the booster.

Three thousand kilometers in space, that's just a minute away, and at this time, the lack of MGAS-01 ships will soon be besieged by the opposing mobile suits, and the situation is not good. Fortunately, the twenty mobile suits dispatched by the poacher fleet at the first time were all iron balls, and they did not have the ability to fight ships. Pilots are generally unlikely to be on standby at all times, and it is estimated that the humanoid mobile suits that pose a threat to the battleship will have to wait for a while before they can go into battle.

Fengyu's mobile team is to return to the battleship to escort the opponent's humanoid mobile suit before it arrives on the battlefield.

With a first cosmic velocity of 1.4km/s, there is no stress on a mobile suit capable of cruising in space at the fourth cosmic speed, all that is required is acceleration time. With the power of the mobile suit high-power vector vent on the sole of the mobile suit's feet, it takes about 5 seconds to accelerate from a standstill to 1.4 km/s in gravity of 0.1 g. Further acceleration is possible, so it is expected to take no more than two minutes to reach an altitude of 2,000 km.

This time would be very good under normal conditions, but now it is in a state of war.

A minute later, the Raider fleet's first twenty iron balls had been intercepted from a high position, blocking the mobile team's way back.

At this time, there were still more than a thousand kilometers from the MGAS-01 ship.

The Hoaarder fleet's planetary and fire-class destroyers have begun to lay siege to the Mobile Warships.

"Except for MR, rush up to it all! Close combat! Fengyu made a decision without hesitation.

Kubanoy naturally liked this kind of command, and immediately increased the engine output, taking advantage of MW's speed advantage to rush to the iron ball first, which also attracted the opponent's concentrated fire. However, for him, this was not a big deal, and the vector vent on one side of the body activated, and he instantly moved several meters laterally, easily avoiding the first wave of fire.

And at this time, Shirley, who was dragging behind, also fired, and the three weapons were set on fire in a zigzag shape, and an iron ball was knocked down without accident.

Although the other three pilots rushed upward, they were not completely idle, and the 40mm Gauss machine guns on their shoulders rose one after another, suppressing the iron ball above.

Although the enemy iron ball has an absolute advantage in numbers, it also clearly feels the pressure and begins to fight and retreat.

At this time, the defects of the cheap cannon fodder body of the iron ball are particularly obvious. The main engine vent is located at the bottom of the fuselage, while the 40mm particle beam rifle is mounted on the top, and there is a large shooting dead space under the fuselage. Therefore, they cannot fly upwards in a normal posture, so they can only hit their bodies horizontally, using the side vents of the body to provide upward power.

Humanoid mobile suits do not have this problem, although the main engine vent is also under the feet, but its arms can move freely, and there is no such thing as a blind spot.

In this way, it is too easy for the mobile team to catch up with the iron ball. Seconds later, the fastest MW had a handsome crash, and Shirley had taken down the second target with her powerful ranged firepower.

Later, the other three MA and MT also entered the flock and slaughtered the iron ball.

Feng Yu once again found the pleasure of the melee mode in the pilot assessment, a knife and an iron ball, no different from cutting a watermelon. At this time, he was a little envious of MW, who had dual melee weapons, and saw that Kubanoy actually came to a whirlwind slash handsomely, with a particle light knife in his left hand and an alloy saber in his right hand, and he actually slashed down an iron ball at the same time.

However, his envy was soon distracted by the deteriorating situation of the battle, and in the space above his head, thirty iron balls were once again ejected, forming a new line of defense. And it is estimated that in a while, the last wave of ten humanoid mobile suits should also appear, and then the trouble will be really big.

After a quick look at the surroundings, after the frantic attack just now, most of the first wave of poacher iron balls had been shot down, and only single digits were left at this time. He immediately updated the combat order, "Keep rushing upward!" Leave these guys to mr to solve! ”

I have to say that Colonel Zhu Nan's decisiveness and iron blood have had a great impact on him, and after a while, his sense of smell on the battlefield has become more and more sensitive.

Now is the time when every second counts, and there is no room for hesitation.

As Fengyu's most loyal supporter, Simon Planet did not hesitate to give up an iron ball that was about to be pursued, and accelerated upwards.

And Kubanoy has always been the kind that is not very ruly, he is chasing an iron ball, and he is about to succeed, of course, he will not give up easily. Fortunately, he was fast enough to get his goal in a few seconds, and he didn't delay the fighter too much.

On the contrary, Abdul, who had always been calm, hesitated for a moment, looked at the number of iron balls left with some concern, and then looked at Shirley, who was still dragging a few kilometers below, and hesitated.

"Go ahead, just six iron balls, I'll take care of it." Shirley seemed to know what he was thinking, and took a position in the optical communication channel at the right time.

Abdul gritted his teeth and drove the MT to catch up with the three teammates who had already rushed some distance.
