Only a minute had passed, and the "Tempest" had no suspense in advancing more than 5,000 kilometers under artillery fire, entering an area with a radius of less than 20,000 kilometers centered on the "secret of Dijing." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the thinking of the UAC people, led by Admiral Goering, there was no reason for the end of the journey of the "Tempest" to be in such an awkward position. Either stay away from the danger zone of 100,000 kilometers, or simply attack close and fight to the death.

However, the "Tempest" stopped advancing at this distance, made a 90-degree turn in place, and circled in orbit with a radius of 20,000 kilometers, neither forward nor backward.

At this distance, the range of the side turrets was out of reach, and the bow gun could not penetrate the R particle shield even in the direction of the fortress, and the "Tempest" could not do anything except to be passively beaten and become a moving target for the electromagnetic railgun without dead ends.

It's just that Luo Yunxi just did this, and under her command, the "Storm" was like a satellite orbiting around the "Secret of Dijing" with a radius of 20,000 kilometers.

For her, doing so was like dancing on the tip of a knife, putting the Storm in extremely dangerous situations.

20,000 kilometers is a very ideal shooting distance for a 2000mm electromagnetic railgun, the shell flies out from under the flap until it reaches the target area, and it only takes 7 seconds for the head and tail to go.

Seven seconds is simply not enough time for a ship with a large individual and difficult steering to react properly.

Even if the Tempest was piloted by the Awoken, the "Acceleration" ability of the chief pilot, Dennis, could help the ship increase its speed beyond the norm, and indeed avoid the opponent's attacks. However, with Dennis's mental strength, he could only support the acceleration of the "Tempest" three times at most, and after three rounds of shelling, he was no different from an ordinary driver.

And in fact, Dennis was no longer able to use the three "accelerations" in this fight, but only one last. The previous two had been consumed in the battle against Admiral Goering's chain defense, and his mental strength had not recovered at all.

Of course, as Haag returns to the ship, he is also an alternate pilot with the extraordinary speed increase for the "Tempest", and can help the ship evade it two or three more times. But it only adds up to four shells, that is, four minutes of fighting.

Four minutes is not enough for the "Tempest" to fly even 100,000 kilometers out of the danger zone. Not to mention that Luo Yunxi didn't plan to run in the first place.

However, don't forget that at this time, the "Tempest" was still in a state of optical invisibility, and the UAC people could only set the range of attack within the approximate range of 500 meters in diameter, which greatly reduced the hit rate of the shelling, and the number of times that they needed to rely on "acceleration" to save their lives would not be very large.

However, because the "Tempest" is facing the "Secret of Jikyo" sideways, the cross-sectional area has been maximized, which is as much as three times that of the vertical direction. Calculated by the maximum coverage of the electromagnetic railgun three-gun salvo, the odds of hitting this stealth battleship have increased more than threefold.

According to the calculations of the system on the "Storm", at this time, the hit rate of the enhanced 2000mm electromagnetic railgun with no dead angle of the "Secret of Dijing" is almost one-fifth, that is, it has to carry out an "acceleration" evasion every five minutes on average.

Five minutes multiplied by four times basically means that the "Tempest" can only hold on to this distance for about 20 minutes, and if you are unlucky, you may not survive for 15 minutes, and if you are lucky, you can hold out for half an hour at most.

Even so, the destroyer remained steadfast in its two-kilometer radius, neither advancing nor retreating.

This behavior of the "Tempest" is simply unreasonable in the eyes of the UAC people, and even a rookie who is on the battlefield for the first time will not do such a thing. And Admiral Goering knew better that Luo Yunxi could not make such a senseless mistake, which could only be the need to execute a certain tactic.

However, what kind of tactic this was, Admiral Goering could not figure out. Although he is the number one general of the human race, this does not mean that he is omniscient, there are always some things that he does not know, such as the ability of the Awakened.

On the battlefield, the unknown is the most terrifying thing, which means that anything can happen. The reputation of many famous generals is ruined in a certain gutter and capsized, which is a lesson in blood.

Faced with this anomaly, Admiral Goering immediately realized that his previous judgment must have been negligent.

If the Storm is not the main force attacking the fortress, but the co-ordinator responsible for covering or cooperating, where will the real threat come from?

The "compound eye system" covers the entire L2 airspace, even if a meteorite flies by, it will be captured, and even if there are other invisible targets lurking on the side, it will be captured by the energy sensor, and it is impossible to get close to the "secret of Jijing" unnoticed.

After a brief analysis, Admiral Goering finally thought of the most unlikely possibility - the attack would take place inside the fortress!

He immediately connected to the communication of the maintenance room, "Immediately violently dismantle the 'Storm'!" Don't think about recycling the whole machine. ”

However, he received no response, and the maintenance room remained silent.

So Admiral Goering called up the operation interface, and after simply pressing a few buttons, he called up the monitoring screen of the maintenance room. The footage captured by the surveillance probe made his heart sink to the bottom.

I saw that the "Storm" No. 5 that should have been fixed to the stand was gone, and the mechanics and researchers in the maintenance room all fell in a pool of blood. Most of the corpses were broken in two, and the cross-sectional surface had been charred and coulked, which should have been a phenomenon after being attacked by a particle light knife.

The door to the maintenance room was forcibly broken, leaving a 20-meter-high hole, which immediately reminded Admiral Goering of the appearance of the No. 5 machine from there.

This maintenance room belonged to the Mobile Suit R&D department, and there were no other mechs in it at the time of the incident, so naturally no one could stop the 5th machine that went on a killing spree.

Of course, unless the "Grim Reaper" is here, it won't help if other pilots are there. Taking a step back, if the "Grim Reaper" is really here, I'm afraid he will be killed before he even enters the cockpit.

In any case, the No. 5 machine, which had once lost control, was now restarted, and although it was not clear how the other party did it, Admiral Goering knew that he had been fooled from the beginning.

At the same time, in the bridge of the "Storm", a figure with aqua blue hair was standing by Luo Yunxi's side, instructing the pilot to make evasive actions from time to time.

There is no doubt that he is Fengyu!
