Chapter 67: The Secret Weapon

Using pulse excitation, the Mobile Suit WS is boosted to more than 300 km/s and flies the last 1,000 kilometers in just three seconds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoOf course, this is the time taken to fly in a straight line, and it is impossible to operate so smoothly in practice.

How far you can use this impulse boost to advance depends on Fengyu's personal ability and luck, as well as the opponent's reaction.

Because of Fengyu's sudden speed, it disrupted the rhythm habit formed by the other party for a minute and a half before. Not every pilot, every battleship fire controller has the same personal abilities and military qualities, and the time required for each person to react and adjust their operations is different. As a result, the originally dense firepower network was instantly torn apart, revealing a huge void.

Seizing this opportunity, Fengyu took advantage of the timeliness of the pulse excitation to complete the full 500 kilometers of sprint. Then the pressure disappeared suddenly, and only dozens of fires were left in front of him, most of which were 40mm particle beams that the R particle shield could block, and he only needed to pay attention to dodging the kinetic energy attacks of a few Gauss machine guns and Gauss cannons.

And the hundreds of turrets of 16 warships, the main force that previously formed the fire network, can no longer threaten the mobile suit WS of Fengyu. This is because the distance between the two sides has been shortened, so that the 80 MSs of the 4th formation have become a barrier to the wind and block the shelling route of their own warships.

500 km, which is already a melee combat distance. Mobile Suits at full speed are as fast as lightning, and the average pilot can't even lock on to his target unless the ranged ace strikes in person.

For MS pilots, the next step is the terrifying "Storm" slaughter time, and what should be considered at this time is how to avoid his edge.

Even though most of the pilots of the 9th Fleet are elite pilots or even high-level pilots who have been through many battles, they still feel as fragile as an iron ball pilot when facing Mobile Suit WS. Non-ace and ace are a completely different realm, and the difference in realm cannot be made up by experience and courage.

For Fengyu, it is the complete opposite, and it will be a good time to relax, which can relieve the tense nerves a little.

Next, he does not plan to go all out, but is ready to leave the opportunity to the "quasi-ace squad". He could see that after using pulse excitation from a distance of 1,000 kilometers, the UAC pilots had been disorganized, and had completely lost the calm demeanor of an old first-line fleet.

In the face of such an opponent, although they are inferior in numbers, I believe that the Awakened pilots can still control the situation. Coupled with Fengyu sweeping the formation on the side, if nothing else, it is likely to be another undamaged battle.

When the Mobile Suit WS flies the last 500 kilometers and forcibly inserts itself into the pilot array of the 4th formation, the rational personality stops the hard work of ballistic prediction and instead leisurely watches the battle as a bystander, occasionally reminding the emotional personality to support a certain "quasi-ace squad" member who is in danger.

And the emotional personality represents the proud side of Fengyu's character.,I've never been interested in things that lack challenges like abusing vegetables.,Simply cooperate with the requirements of a rational personality.,Basically, I don't make much moves.,Just interspersed back and forth.,Disrupt the opponent's formation.,Drive the UAC pilot to fight with the "quasi-ace team".

In this way, without Fengyu's work, the mobile suit warband actually had a stalemate for quite a while. UAC pilots found that their casualties were far less exaggerated than they had just feared, and every ten seconds an MS was shot down by an aqua blue mobile suit of unknown model by the opponent, which was far less efficient than the "Storm" himself.

Although defeat is a matter of time or time, no matter how you look at it, it can still last for about ten minutes. At this time, they received a communication from the base commander, telling them to keep this state and hold on, the secret weapon prepared by the base was in place, and they could come to their aid immediately.

This battle was commanded by the commander of the 4th formation, and the base commander did not intervene in the air battle except for directing the main artillery of the fortress to shell the "Storm", and at this time this communication was suddenly inserted, obviously there was something hidden.

Even the pilots didn't know what this secret weapon was, but they had heard of such a prototype weapon before, which was specially designed to deal with those difficult ace pilots.

Even if the UAC is a big family, ace pilots are still in short supply, with an average of 1.5 per first-line fleet, and second-tier fleets and local garrison fleets are even more difficult to find. When "Storm" rose to fame and became the most famous ace pilot in recent times, the UAC New African Front lost two ace pilots in his hands, regardless of NO's retired aces.

So this mysterious weapon was developed, and one was secretly issued to each first-line fleet, which was specially used to deal with the enemy's ace pilots. It's just that this weapon has not yet been put into actual combat, and what the name is and what the effect is, ordinary officers and men at the grassroots level do not know at all, and only a few high-ranking people in each fleet know about it.

Taking the 9th Fleet as an example, only the commander and deputy commander of the fleet and the commander of the base knew about this weapon, and even the commanders of the formations did not know about it. Other than that, only the operator of the secret weapon knows. The operator did not belong to the 9th Fleet at all, but was part of a weapons research institute in the UAC and was responsible for using, commissioning, and improving the new weapon.

As a result, even Awa-ker, who has always been known for his excellent intelligence capabilities, does not know what this secret weapon is.

Hearing that the secret weapon is about to appear, the morale of the pilots has increased slightly. It's just that before the Mobile Suit WS is taken down, their confidence is reserved, and it is impossible to pin their hopes entirely on a prototype weapon that has not yet been officially put into production.

However, even so, the pilots of the 4th formation still showed a completely different mental outlook from before at this moment, and their combat style became more tenacious and tenacious, restoring the true colors of the pilots of the first-line fleet, but the aggressiveness was still slightly lacking.

Fengyu's rational personality, as a bystander, noticed this change for the first time and immediately became vigilant. The sudden resurgence in morale without the defeat of any of the Awakened pilots must have been the result of some kind of good promise from the rear commander to regain their confidence.

At that moment, he saw a strange flying machine flying out of the 9th Fleet Base Air Harbor, similar in size to a mobile suit, but shaped like a cannon, with a black hole in the front of it.

The rational personality further carefully discerned that it was really a cannon, and judging by some of the characteristics it displayed on the outside, it should be a kinetic weapon, not a particle cannon.

Space self-propelled cannons?

Feng Yu was a little puzzled, artillery fighting mobile suits has never been reliable, could it be that making such a space self-propelled cannon can hit mobile suits at close range?

And according to his simple knowledge of various particle cannons, Gauss cannons and electromagnetic railguns, he knows what important parameters these cannons should have, so as to exert some performance.

For example, as the main gun of a battleship, the firepower part is a particle generator and a particle accelerator, and the larger the space occupied by the firepower part, the larger the caliber of the main gun, the higher the particle rate of fire, and the stronger the lethality.

Another example is the Gauss cannon, which uses an energized solenoid to generate a magnetic field to accelerate the metal projectile and provide it with huge kinetic energy, and the size of the solenoid also determines the power of the weapon.

In addition, the electromagnetic railgun, which can only be installed in large military fortresses such as the "Right Eye of Tianjing", relies on the magnetic force of Loren to propel the cannonball, and the power of the cannon is determined by the overall strength of electricity.

Judging from the size of the small space self-propelled gun in front of him, the electromagnetic railgun is completely impossible, and the shells fired by the electromagnetic railgun of this size are estimated to be only a joke, even the eliminated iron balls can be easily avoided.

If it is a particle cannon, according to its caliber of about 1600mm, the overall size should be several times larger, otherwise the particle beam shot can only be used to tickle the mobile suit, or even inferior to the 40mm particle beam rifle.

If you exclude the above two, then this is a Gauss cannon.

But the rational personality still thinks it's wrong.

The Gauss gun emphasizes not the rate of fire, but the huge kinetic energy lethality, which is a medium and close-range weapon, and a few thousand kilometers is the limit. Because the projectile travel speed is slower than that of particle beam weapons, it is easy to dodge if it is too far away. This is also the reason why Fengyu was still able to walk leisurely in the face of the hundreds of turret fire coverage of 16 warships just now.

For this reason, it was impossible to use the Gauss gun as the main gun of a battleship, because it could not shoot at enemy ships thousands or even nearly 10,000 kilometers away. Therefore, no one has developed a large-caliber Gauss cannon at all, and the dual-wielding 180mm Gauss cannon in the hands of the Earth Federation long-range mobile suit SR is already the largest caliber Gauss weapon visible at present.

So what can the 1600mm caliber Gauss gun do? Could it be that the cannon was fired directly at the close range of the "Tempest"?

The problem is that the "Tempest" has now entered optical invisibility, and this space self-propelled cannon must be used against mobile suits, which really doesn't make sense.
