Volume 11 The Warriors Who Believe in Innovation Chapter 56 Children of War (8) Nightmare, Again

In an era when Minovsky particles, GN particles, and phantom particles can disable radio wave-induced weapons, the concept of long-range guided missiles and high-precision induced artillery shelling has long since disappeared. Bombarding each other with missiles and artillery shells that do not spare targets to compete for victory is a combat mode that has long since disappeared. It's ironic to get close enough to list each other's combat power at a distance that they can see each other--- but advances in technology have brought a pre-medieval battlefield model into the universe.

But even if the war turns out as mentioned above, the production of ultra-long-range missiles has not been suspended --- from Abawa. This has been the case since the beginning of the library, and these missiles are also considered to be one of the main armaments of space warships. To understand it, you can think of the fact that in ancient battles, the stone thrower and the giant crossbow were always regarded as precious heavy firepower. Even if there is no way to make a precise point-to-point inducing attack in a radar-induced way, as long as you capture the enemy's optical position, obtain the coordinates, and set an orbit that has a high chance of hitting the target, the missile will rush towards the opponent. This is the same as the direct-shipping heavy* of the old days, where destructive power alone can become a complete threat, especially against large missiles used in ships, as long as two direct hits are enough to bury a warship. Moreover, the missile launches of many ships are mostly invisible, and unlike the beam naval guns that expose the shooter due to irrepressible heat and flash as soon as the cannon is fired, many long-range missiles will not have such concerns.

It was these long-range anti-ship missiles that caused Ptolemy to shake violently and make Catoro play a big loop inside the ship. This long-range missile for the ship traveled in a straight line through the wreckage-strewn moving reef and directly hit the wreckage of the battleship to which Ptolemy was attached.

"What's going on?!"

The question of Lasse, who was at the helm, was not a meaningless cathartic statement of fear because he had been attacked, but a real question. The wreckage reef zone where Ptolemy is now sailing is a very special location, because the last moon offensive and defensive battle of the Pandora Revolution produced a large amount of wreckage on important communication lines near the moon, and unlike the private small business, the big corporations stationed on the moon have the financial resources and the political influence to incite the government to deal with the wreckage. Therefore, with taxpayers' money, part of the debris that can be destroyed by the atmosphere of the Earth's sphere without recovering profits is loaded with cheap thrusters and pushed to the earth for atmospheric crash and incineration. The moving wreckage reef has always been guarded by colonial commune and federal government ships to make sure that the process of movement is not exploited and that no hapless traders will be damaged by it, and now there are missiles being fired from the narrow gap...

Based on the results of the long-term tailgating observations, the "beacons" attached to Ptolemy and the subsequent coordinates found over time, the battleship "Enkidu", disguised as a duty ship of the colonial commune, fired a total of ten missiles. Two of them missed their target, three crashed into the wreckage prematurely and became meaningless wreckage due to the activation of the warhead silencing program, and the remaining five crashed into the former ghosts, successfully detonating the warhead.

In an instant, the clumps of flashes of light continued to expand, and the diffused shock waves interfered with each other, causing the shock waves that greatly exceeded the speed of sound to peel off the outer walls of the wreckage, and the huge heat energy melted the structural materials, and even some of the wreckage was detonated with the remaining residual energy or ammunition, thus further inducing an explosion.

Some of these wreckage, which had been destroyed in previous battles, but may have not been detonated by the turbine or completely detonated by ammunition, still retained the rough shape of the battleship, but were also engulfed in fireballs and debris in the next moment, and then most of them soon burst into flashes, and red lotus bloomed from them, causing a rush of water like a volcanic eruption to flash into the universe.

This was the worst-case scenario for Ptolemy, who had just relocated the external surveillance camera with Harrow and the Heavy Gundam on duty, intending to temporarily break away from the wreckage circle and change course. The external surveillance cameras operated by the Harrows were composite sensor terminals that operated from a distance with transmission lines, and were originally scattered around to monitor the direction of the dead end. The Ptolemy who contained it was equivalent to temporarily losing the ability to temporarily monitor the surveillance blind spots caused by battle damage, and the heavy Gundam that was originally on guard around had just returned to the ship, and the successor O-Raiser had not yet been on the ejection track, and the hangar and ejection track at this time were the most vulnerable, but the missile was killed in front of it at this moment.

The wreckage in the quiet embrace of the universe suddenly disintegrated, sending a large amount of flying debris violently into Ptolemy's hull. Broken armor plates, half a cannon barrel, a refrigerator in the canteen and other wreckage dragged like a group of meteors into the hull of the ship, and the objects that were not fixed in the hull were all shaken by bullets, and the passengers were also moving like pinballs between the ceiling and the floor, and the ship was in chaos. The bottle of nutritional jelly that Mirena had just grabbed fell off her hand and smashed on the back of Lasse's head, Ian and Shaci, who were preparing to eject Raiser, were knocked into the bulkhead, Louise grabbed the railing, and although Filut on her side grabbed the ship's passage to issue an alarm, she was thrown into the air by the continuous violent concussions. Du Luohua, who had just come out of the cockpit--- showed his acrobatic skills rolled several laps in the air and then caught her with a flying pounce, and then the two of them hit 00's head together and knocked Shangguan Ling, who was overhauling the sensor.

Hiro was slammed into the control mechanism of the air gate, and Dio, who was about to curl up into a ball, grabbed Hiro. In the hangar, pulling the fixing cable of the machine made a tense scream. The maintenance machine controlled by the Harrow activated the jets to try to stabilize the body, and Du Luohua and Sha Ci, who had stabilized their figures, immediately ran to the cockpit, and the emperor, who was just about to walk towards the bridge, hit his head on the ceiling even if he was pulled by Lockon.

The screams and shouts, the roars, the sirens and the chirping of the Harrows mingled through the pain of the impact. A blast wave of red-hot wreckage swept across the front of the bridge, and countless red-hot afterimages burned at the bottom of Lasse's retina, making him feel as if he was walking directly above an erupting volcano.

"Turn back, Milena, alarm !!"

Rose, who was sitting in a chair because of the strap, shouted and pulled the rudder without waiting for the Emperor's order, pointing Ptolemy in the course he thought he should appoint. Ptolemy's bow was lifted up like a cobra, and then turned sideways--- in the process of the wreckage spreading in the shape of scattered bullets, he was able to reduce the shell area to a minimum, and then aimed at the gap and rushed out! The judgment of the pilot, who had gone through the war, allowed Ptolemy to escape from the wreckage area despite being hit by the flying rubble on the stern of the ship.

"Anti-air !!"

Throwing himself over the head that had been struck by Mirena's jelly bottle, Lasse, who was acting as the temporary commander, began to shout.

"There's no enemy around!" Milena's answer struck Lasse's ear.

"Attack from outside the range of the probe!"

"Impossible!. Look for me, there must be enemies disguised as wrecks or ships from colonial communes around! ”

With a headache in his head, Lasse confirmed through the monitor the fact that the impact of the wreckage was gradually disappearing and scattered, and then moved his gaze to the screen of the enemy finder. The impact on ship missiles, and definitely not on a small scale of two or three rounds. There must have been enemy ships that fired multiple missiles from close range. Because the recovery of the external surveillance machine driven by the Harrows has reduced the detection ability of Ptolemy for less than 40 seconds, it is impossible for someone to launch a missile and retreat outside the surveillance range in this time.

"It's not a decoy missile, it's impossible for a guy like a rocket to be so accurate, and it's from a long distance... Oh, my God! ”

After unconsciously putting his thoughts out of his mouth, Lasse felt a chill. From a long-range attack--- if there is no enemy at close range, one can only think of this: the enemy has found the absolute coordinates of Ptolemy, and launches the missile at the moment when the obstacle on the ballistic trajectory is clear.

True, the enemy knew the correct coordinates of Ptolemy. And in this environment full of wreckage, it should be impossible to find Ptolemy, there is only one way...

"In an instant... Or Mary ... Damn it!!! ”

"High heat target, rapidly approaching !!!" Milena shouted again.

"Quantity 3, rapidly approaching the middle from the rear of the ship!! Predict the moment of contact T-260!"

"It's a mobile suit!! There is a Mobile Suit level Minovsky particle diffusion!! There is also the GN particle diffusion mode, the P-21! is the enemy's MS unit!! ”

"Flying at this speed in the wreckage...

The emperor who rushed to the bridge looked at Milena in the report with a blue face.

"This speed of advancement, this way of advancement!!... Milena felt a shadow gradually emerge in her memory, making her unconsciously grasp the handrail, and the green tendons on the back of her hand were exposed.

The mobile suit leading the charge towards Ptolemy had a livery that seemed to suck in all the starlight around it, a pair of wings twisted at odd angles stretched out over the shoulders, and the back was supposed to be a light emitted by a jet device to make people realize that it was not some kind of supernatural object. From time to time, navy-blue mobile suits step on the wreckage and perform a gorgeous "dance assault" that uses reaction force to gain more speed

At the end of its dance, Ptolemy was emerging from the turbulence to target the Celestial Order's warship, which had nowhere to hide, and the pilot laughed twistedly, gripped the lever firmly as he ran his finger over the coat of arms on his chest, which had been split in half by a letter I:

"Celestials, let's see if your divinity is stronger, or if we are destined to return!"
