Chapter 23: Ricochet Attack
Before the L4 base of the Kimek Escort was converted into a fortress, it was just a small drum-shaped space city with a length of 5 kilometers and a maximum diameter of only 3 kilometers. The Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info was now expanded into a spherical military fortress with a diameter of 5 km, and some structural modifications were required.
In order to facilitate the transportation of materials, several square wells were opened on the outer wall of the original space city as transportation channels. Each of these square wells is fifty meters in diameter and runs through the outer walls and the inner "surface" of the Space City.
As long as the "Storm" No. 3 plane passes through the square well, it can smoothly reach the inner "surface" of the space city, and then go up to the central axis area, and the whole distance is only a few kilometers. If it is not blocked, it will only take more than ten seconds to break into the central axis area.
However, as a military fortress, L4 Base could not have exposed such a fatal flaw. In every square well, there are strict defenses. Although the square shaft entered by Unit 3 is only three kilometers long, it is divided into three sections, each of which is separated by a heavy gate.
On the one hand, these gates are used to prevent the intrusion of external forces, and on the other hand, they are airtight to prevent the loss of atmosphere inside the space city. In addition, in front of each gate, there is a horizontal tunnel perpendicular to the square well, and there is a Gauss Vulcan gun turret on each side of the tunnel to implement the fire blockade in front of the gate.
When the emotional personality just rushed into Fangjing, he didn't notice this, and almost suffered a big loss because of it.
When he saw the first airtight gate from a distance, he first fired with a 180mm Gauss cannon on his shoulder, trying to break the door with one shot. However, the cannon only dug a large hole in the airtight gate, but failed to penetrate it. According to Fengyu's experience in fighting ships for many years, he saw that the metal plates around the crater had not been significantly deformed, indicating that this gate was very thick and could never be penetrated by three or five cannons.
Usually it is necessary to use a ship chopper to deal with a gate of this thickness, but the emotional personality is a little reluctant. According to the system's ranging, the distance from the space side of the square well to this airtight gate is only a short 300 meters. By analogy, there must be more than one airtight gate in this square well, and the emotional personality estimates that there are almost three or four square wells in the whole square well.
The number of ship-cutting knives that the "Tempest" brought with it this time was limited, and the combat mission was heavy, and it could not get the supply of such strategic materials, so it could be saved. What's more important is that at this moment, there is only a ship chopping knife on the No. 3 fuselage, and at most it can only cut through one door, and you still have to find another way later. Instead of using it in the first place, it's better to keep it for a rainy day.
In this case, after the shelling was ineffective, Unit 3 could only hold the Alloy Saber and go straight to the first gate, preparing to break it with the 189W Super Alloy Saber, which claimed to be able to cut through everything.
However, this huge airtight gate was two meters thick, and was the same level as the battleship's armor plates. Even if the 189W Super Alloy Saber can indeed pierce it with a single sword, it will be difficult to continue to make a cut in the two-meter-thick alloy steel plate. There is no inertia of slashing, so you can only cut hard, which is more time-consuming. Even without interference, it would have taken half a minute to make a cut in the airtight gate that was large enough for the passage of Unit 3.
At this moment, the Gauss Vulcan cannons on both sides of the corridor opened fire.
At this time, the "Storm" No. 3 was basically completely stationary because it was cutting the airtight gate. No matter how good the speed of this super model is, there is not enough room to maneuver in such a narrow square well, and it will inevitably be shot.
Fortunately, the caliber of the Gauss Vulcan cannon is only 60mm, and the power is very limited, and the 52ti super alloy armor plate used by the No. 3 machine can only leave shallow dimples on the armor plate, as if it was bitten by a mosquito a few times, only itching and not painful.
However, if other super models were hit by Gauss Vulcan at such a close range, they would also be very injured, and the No. 3 machine was a special case. Instead of threatening other mobile suits with lethality, the Gauss Vulcan Cannon uses continuous metal projectiles to continuously hit the opponent's body, so that the pilots in the cockpit are subjected to continuous concussion and impact and cannot drive normally.
To put it bluntly, the Gauss Vulcan Cannon is a weakened version of the concussion projectile that hits the target, causing it to appear in what is called a "hard stun" state in combat terms, and then uses other weapons to deliver a fatal blow.
In the turrets on both sides, in addition to the Gauss Vulcan cannon, there is naturally a high-power 210mm Gauss cannon, which is used to mend the knife.
However, this trick obviously did not work for the No. 3 machine. This fuselage has no cockpit and no pilot, and the psychic driving system will not be "hard stunned" by the continuous attacks of the Gauss Vulcan cannon. Unless it is a weapon of the power of the concussion bomb, it will cause the system to crash and restart.
Although the sensual personality could not dodge the Gauss Vulcan cannon attack at close range, but only let this attack last for half a second, he decisively gave up the 189w super alloy saber still embedded in the airtight gate, and retreated into the shooting dead angle of the turrets on both sides of the tunnel, escaping the deadly attack of the 210mm Gauss cannon.
Then the emotional personality begins to reflect on the mistakes they have made, and there are two of them. First of all, you should not use a physical weapon such as an alloy saber to cut the airtight gate, but an energy weapon such as a particle light knife, because the energy weapon will not get stuck and can get out at any time.
The second mistake was naturally too careless, and I didn't even notice the corridors on both sides. This is mainly related to the design of the square well, and the searchlight shining outward on the wall is a harsh and strong light source, so that intruders entering the square well cannot find the two horizontal corridors hidden behind the lights without looking very closely.
After a few seconds of introspection, the question before the sensual personality was how to destroy the two turrets. Only with the interference out of his way could he slowly deal with that damn airtight floodgate.
This is a very headache. Due to the limited space of the square well and the corridor, the "Storm" No. 3 could not exert its mobility, and if it wanted to enter a position that could attack the turret, it would inevitably be attacked by Gauss Vulcan cannons and even 210mm Gauss cannons.
"What would he do if he were a rational personality?" The emotional personality is the reluctance to turn to the rational personality for help. Each other is part of Fengyu's main personality, and there is no reason why he can't think of a way.
But in the end, his stubbornness didn't waste much time, as one of Fengyu's personalities, relying on the perceptual left brain to think, even if the logical ability is slightly poor, but the imagination is unlimited.
It really makes the emotional personality think of a method that makes people very speechless - ricochet attack!
A ricochet is a projectile that is shot out after hitting a hard object and collides elastically, changing its course and flying in other directions. This is a very dangerous thing to do in shooting, and it is easy to cause accidental injury.
In many shoddy film and television works, someone holds a gun and slams it at the iron door and lock at close range, violently unlocking it. In fact, if you shoot at an iron door and lock at this distance, there is a good chance that the person who shoots will be injured by the ricochet that bounces back, which is no different from suicide.
The emotional personality noticed that both the square well and the four walls of the Yongdao were very strong, and there were countless ricochets from the Gauss Vulcan cannon before. So he asked the system of No. 3 to restore the length of the tunnel and the position of the turrets on both sides, and calculate the reflection angle, and then use the shoulder 180mm Gauss gun to aim at the preset point to fire, so as to use ricochets to attack the turrets in the blind spot of each other's firing.
After firing a shot, the No. 3 machine poked its head out sharply, quickly glanced at the effect of the gun, and retracted while the automatic turret needed time to aim and shoot. Then adjust the shooting angle and start again.
After repeating this three or four times, he really broke the turret on the left.
However, at this time, the emotional personality also realized that there was a problem, that is, he did not need to use the stupid method of ricochet attack. The Gauss turrets on both sides of the tunnel are fixed gun emplacements and cannot be moved, while the square shaft is not large, but it is 50 meters high and wide, and the No. 3 machine can freely decide from which position to rush out.
When the No. 3 machine rushes out, the Gauss turret needs to adjust the muzzle for aiming, which takes a certain amount of time. However, the emotional personality can adjust the muzzle angle of the 180mm Gauss gun on the shoulder in advance, and fire at the moment of rushing out, which must be faster than the opponent.
After thinking about this, the Gauss turret in the tunnel was no longer a threat, and the No. 3 machine rushed out decisively, preemptively killing the remaining turret with one shot.
Then, he can slowly deal with the airtight floodgate in front of him.
