Chapter 90: Fengyu's persistence
While the "Tempest" was waiting for the return of the personnel who had entered the space city of the Kimek cultivation base, the reinforcements of the Kimek escort team had already completed the encirclement of this airspace, and secretly sent five minelayers to surround this airspace with dense space mines.

Under normal circumstances, mine-laying work would not have been able to conceal the Tempest. However, before Luo Yunxi's spiritual power was mainly focused on the interior of the Space City, only a small part was left in space, covering a radius of about 20,000 kilometers, because this was the latest standard distance between the two fleets when the two armies faced off.
Once upon a time, when mobile suits were not the protagonists of space warfare, the standard distance between the two fleets was 6,000 kilometers in order to be able to inflict effective damage on enemy ships with their main guns. At a distance of 20,000 kilometers, the particle beams seriously fired by the battleship's main guns could no longer cause damage to the enemy ship, which could be regarded as an escape distance. As long as the two sides are 20,000 kilometers apart, the defeated side can enter the curvature flight and flee.
However, because of the birth of Fengyu, the status of mobile suits has been changed, and the combat mode of space warfare has been changed, so that the distance between the warships of the two sides has been widened more and more, until today's 20,000 kilometers.
So Luo Yunxi set the warning range on the line of 20,000 kilometers, as long as the Kimek convoy battleship appeared, the "Tempest" could respond at any time without worrying about being damaged by the battleship's main gun.
The problem is that the UAC people seem to be very aware of the Tempest's style of operation, allowing battleships and troop carriers to go into a warning distance of 20,000 kilometers and minelayers to lay mines at a distance of 20,000 kilometers.
If the "Storm" was not in an optically invisible state, it should be able to see this scene through the optical sensor, but at this moment, they were shooting themselves in the foot in the invisible state, as long as Luo Yunxi's spiritual power did not cover the place, they really knew nothing.
In fact, Haag and Falls, who were sitting in the airports at both ends of Space City, saw the actions of the UAC minelayer, but these two were newcomers on the "Tempest", and they didn't know much about Luo Yunxi, only that this beautiful captain could "see" things outside in an optically invisible state, but they didn't know the specific details. So they mistakenly believed that the "Tempest" had learned of this situation and had its own arrangements, and they could not take the initiative to contact the destroyer in the optically invisible state, so they did not give a timely warning.
When Fengyu drove the "Storm" No. 3 into space, he found that the minefield had been basically completed, and the only gap was still blocked by the Kimek escort, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart.
After Fengyu returned to the "Tempest", he immediately called an emergency meeting of the think tank on the bridge to discuss countermeasures.
At this time, the main control screen showed that the Kimek escort had completed the ejection of the mobile suit, and more than 400 MG production models and prototypes were densely packed with a large airspace.
With an inner diameter of 20,000 kilometers and a depth of only 1,000 kilometers, the minefield is like a thin spherical shell, enveloping this airspace. Located in the center of the sphere is the Kimek cultivation base Space City and the optically invisible "Tempest".
Despite the fact that the thickness of the minefield is very limited, it is enough to block the "Tempest" who is in a hurry to leave. And if Fengyu and the others want to clear mines, they will inevitably be besieged by those GMP people and fall into a bitter battle.
"What to do? Anyone who has a good idea can talk about it. Fengyu believes that at this time, we need to work together to find the best way.
"Let's get closer and use the turret to clear the mine, anyway, the minefield is only that thick." It was Forth who spoke, and these days he had also studied some books on the command and tactics of fleet warfare, in order to be able to speak at such times.
Who knew that as soon as the words came out, Monica preemptively refuted this suggestion, "This method doesn't work!" With the turret for demining, we had to get close to the minefield, and in this way, we gave the Kimek convoy a clear range of attack. Two or three salvos from their main guns, we're done. ”
To be honest, in terms of actual combat experience, Monica, who is an intelligence officer, is even richer than the pilot Forth Ears. She followed Fengyu to travel north and south for several years, and she had never seen any kind of big wind and waves, and even stayed alone on the sunken transport ship to guard the third-generation jump engine. On the "Storm", she is already the third person after Fengyu and Luo Yunxi, and her reputation is even higher than that of Merkel, the first mate who has no chance to command the battle.
Rejected by his girlfriend, Forth shut his mouth in embarrassment, not daring to use his half bucket of water to embarrass himself in front of a group of battle-hardened veterans.
And at this time, Haag, who is more senior than Fengyu in terms of military age, also spoke, "In fact, there is really a simple way, which has actual combat cases." In the war between the new European Union and the UAC in the New African galaxy, a military base was blocked by the UAC fleet with a minefield. Later, the base commander brazenly detonated the base's power furnace, triggering a nuclear explosion. Let the nuclear blast blaster demine. ”
"Wouldn't that be a lose-lose situation? And what about the warships of the new EU? Can you escape? First mate Merkel immediately asked when she heard this.
"Of course, he escaped, and the commander announced the countdown to the base's nuclear explosion to the UAC fleet. The UAC warships were unable to intercept the new EU warships because they wanted to fly out of the danger zone as quickly as possible, so both sides eventually fled the nuclear zone. The new European Union, at the cost of a base space city, has kept a fleet, which can be regarded as a very successful case. Although the base commander who blew up the space city died in the line of duty, he was posthumously awarded the rank of lieutenant general. ”
At the beginning of Taiya WH, Fengyu used the "New Asia" nuclear explosion to expel the UAC fleet guarding the entrance to the fixed wormhole, which can be said to be the same as the case mentioned by Haag. The effective killing distance of the "New Asia" nuclear explosion on the warship is 20,000 kilometers, while the power furnace of the Space City is one size larger than that of the New America-class mothership, and the killing distance reaches 30,000 kilometers.
If Fengyu really detonated the Space City, the Kimek cultivation base, the Kimek Escort Team would have to take the initiative to open a safe passage to escape unless they were willing to bury the "Tempest". In this way, the "Tempest" should be able to break out of the encirclement and escape with minimal cost.
However, such a brilliant solution in the eyes of everyone was vetoed by Captain Morgan, "Detonate a civilian space city to deal with the fleet?" Once this method is used, the righteousness of the awa-ker no longer exists, and what justice is still advertised? Even if the GMP project of Gemec Pharmaceuticals violates human ethics, there are many more people in this cultivation base who are innocent, and they are all innocent. And you can all see that this space city doesn't have many spaceships prepared, and it can't save many people at all. It's going to be a massacre! ”
After the old man finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Fengyu.
The Storm is the ship of the Storm, where he has absolute authority and everyone will listen to him. As long as Fengyu decides to do something, others will support it unreservedly, whether it is right or wrong. Even as an awa-ker director, in this place, at this time, Captain Morgan can only give his own opinion, but he cannot influence anyone but the investigation team.
Feng Yu smiled at the old man when he heard this, "That's right, you all know my past. My parents, as well as Luo Yunxi's parents, both died in the Lanthanum L4 incident. That's when I was determined to fight to the end. If I do this kind of thing today, which I don't even despise myself, what reason will there be for me to continue walking and fighting in the future? ”
Another thing Fengyu didn't mention, but everyone knows it, that is the "Storm Gate". In the E2 star field of the New Asian Galaxy to clear the pirates, the commander of the Mobile Force at the time, Major General Pan Ke, ordered Feng Yu to attack the civilian space city where the pirate fleet's family lived, but Feng Yu refused to obey. So now that he can call the shots, how can he do such a thing as detonating the space city of the Kimek cultivation base.
As Captain Morgan said, except for the researchers in the GMP project laboratory who have a reason to die, most of the people in Space City are innocent, and they are all pioneers in the field of genetic medicine to fight the disease for mankind.
Maybe losing your life in order not to hurt these people seems stupid to most people, but this is the justice that Fengyu insists on! It's the bottom line that he won't cross no matter what!
Whether a person is great or not does not depend on his origin, not on his status, but on whether he has an uncompromising persistence!
