Chapter 20: The Hibernators
This is a very long-distance push. The data on the tactical view shows that the jump speed of 5 AU/s has clearly jumped out of the wormhole galaxy.
Lynch and Cadia landed almost at the same time, and Lynch quickly saved and uploaded the coordinates. Three hundred kilometers away, a grandiose, high-tech brood sparkles in a tactical view. This is not the light of the star, but the light of the special material of the brood itself.
Almost simultaneously, the brood swooped out three hibernators, a cruiser, two frigates.
Fortunately, Lynch secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
THE SPEED OF THE HIBERNATOR IS NOT PARTICULARLY FAST, NOT COUNTING THE MINIATURE JUMP ENGINE, CRUISER 220M / S, FRIGATE 550M / S.
The fleet landed. Lynch gave the order: "Fleet broadcast, all hands towards DMZ01, wait for the order to jump!" ”
"Why? Aren't we going to war? No. 10 Kadia questioned.
"Yes, brother, can't we beat three of our ten ships?" Russo asked.
"Number 10, it is very stupid to question the commander on the battlefield! Think about the bet with Oak! "Lynch doesn't have a good air.
His tactics are not complicated, he wants to test the speed of the hibernators.
"Report to the flagship, please answer the tactical ideas, so that all ships can cooperate!" After a moment of silence, Kadia said coldly.
Lynch shrugged, thinking that this chick was still quite studious. All the previous orders, Kadia carried out meticulously. Asking questions now, Lynch doesn't think he's questioning him, but feels like he's learning from him.
"Hehe, that's good. Fleet combat broadcast, it is obvious that the resistance of the hibernator to electromagnetic, explosive, thermal, and kinetic energy has reached 66.66%. Our firepower can't destroy one ship without letting the other two ships go. Don't ask me why I know the data, just keep it in mind. In such a situation, we must disperse the enemy. And the key to dispersing the enemy's various defeats is to require us to move accurately! Now it's time to move! After the three hibernators draw closer to us, we jump away, and the hibernators return to their brood. Due to the speed of the corvette, after several cycles, the corvette will not be able to support the cruiser in the future. This gap is our chance to focus on the Hibernator Cruiser with all our might! Who else doesn't understand? ”
It's a simple tactic, but who can think of it? The commanders of the nine warships were a little strange in their hearts, how did this student named Lynch learn these tactics!
Great God, this is Great God! Commanders 3, 5, and 9 mentally compared Lynch to Colonel Wirther, and even General Leblanc. I was surprised to find that the command tactics of the colonels and generals were easy to understand, in other words, they could do it themselves. But this Lynch...... Rambled! No wonder Colonel Werther wants to give orders, and in case of accidents, absolutely obey Lynch's command!
The Hibernator frigate can reverse jump thirty kilometers, and with the micro jump engine started, it will reach a speed of 2000+ m / s. So Lynch believes that the frigate will be approached to a hundred kilometers, which will be a fairly safe border distance.
When the hibernating frigate chased a hundred kilometers, Lynch decisively ordered: "Target DMZ01 point, jump start!" ”
The battleship did not react, and Lynch was taken aback. A huge warning sign suddenly pops up in the tactical view: Unknown magnetic field interference, the ship cannot jump!
"Report the flagship, can't jump!"
"Me too, I can't jump!"
Lynch was momentarily stunned, this was a situation that had never appeared in a game in his previous life!
The Hibernator frigates are approaching step by step, and if they are allowed to follow them to a range of thirty kilometers, even if one or both frigates can be killed, the result is the same as the entire fleet surrendering here!
What to do, what to do!
"Report flagship, what do we do now?"
The fleet members kept reporting, and their voices became more and more flustered.
"Kadia!" Lynch took a deep breath, his voice low and compelling, "You are equipped with a miniature jump engine and an inertial stabilizer, and the vertical ninety degree direction of the connection between the Hibernator warship and the fleet, and push at full speed at all costs!" ”
At this moment, all the members of the fleet were silent. They all believe that this is Lynch's order to abandon Kadia 10, hoping that the rest of the team will have a chance to escape.
Kadia thought the same way, she didn't do it immediately, she just froze for a moment.
"Don't think about it!" Lynch seemed to guess everyone's thoughts, and shouted with all his might, "We can't jump out of the range of magnetic interference, but I guess we can." Trust me, Kadia, you're the fastest! This is the only chance to survive! Scythe class 7, lock on to the flagship and turn on the remote shield repair stance to attract hibernators to chase us! ”
Inspired by Lynch's battle with Oak, Cardia did not have all slewing stabilizers in her low slots, but an inertial stabilizer. IN THIS WAY, WITH THE ADDITION OF THE MICRO JUMP ENGINE, HER MAXIMUM SPEED WILL REACH 3000 M/S, WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE SPEED THAT CAN DETERMINE THE LIFE AND DEATH OF A FLEET.
With a fierce bite of Cadia's silver teeth, she immediately turned the bow of the ship and moved away from the fleet at a ninety-degree angle to the trajectory of the fleet's advance. The tail of the Rift Valley-class suddenly erupted, spewing out blue flames in the sky, and Kadia sped away.
Lynch stared at the data in the tactical view, letting sweat run down his forehead. At this moment, a hand was heavily placed on Lynch's shoulder. He looked back and saw that it was Russo.
"Brother, it's okay, you're the best in my heart anyway!" Russo nodded heavily and solemnly.
Lynch looked at Grant.
Grant's frightened eyes flickered, and he said in a trembling voice, "Lin ...... Lynch...... I don't ...... either Unafraid! ”
"Damn!" Lynch slapped Russo's paw away, and said in disgust: "See, Lao Tzu's goosebumps, get out of the way!" ”
He didn't have time to be comforted by the two sullen assistants, and by this time, the hibernating frigate had already approached eighty kilometers. FORTUNATELY, SINCE THE OVERALL SPEED OF THE FLEET IS ONLY 200M/S, THE FRIGATE DOES NOT START THE MICRO JUMP ENGINE. ON THE CONTRARY, IT WAS A CRUISER, AND THE SPEED AT THIS TIME EXPLODED TO 1000 M/S.
Getting closer, the Hibernator frigate finally erupted, activating the miniature jump engine.
"Kadia! 200 kilometers to save and upload the bitmark DMZ02! ”
No one spoke, and the fleet broadcast only Lynch's urgent roar. Kadia turned pale and bit her lip tightly, eager to fly behind the battleship and add another thrust.
The Hibernator frigate, which activated the miniature jump engine, instantly pulled another ten kilometers closer. Lynch was in a hurry, and the calculated data made his heart cold, and the hibernator chased exactly thirty kilometers before Kadia could reach his goal. As a result, it will not be possible for the fleet to make a jump.
"Overload (Note 1)! Kadia, overload propulsion engine! ”
Kadia was stunned, reacted, closed her eyes and prayed silently, activating the micro-jump engine overload. The blue flame of the rift-level jet is huge, and the speed quickly reaches 3500+m/s.
At this time, Kadia was exactly 150 kilometers from the fleet. Lynch sighed, he wanted to pull it a little wider to give him more time, so that he would not be unable to reach the minimum jump distance of 150 kilometers due to the delay in the distance of the jump preparation in an emergency. But there is no hurry, and they will soon be overtaken by the Hibernator frigate.
"No matter, Khadia, record now! Save and upload the current bitmark as DMZ03, save the whole ship! Target DMZ02, fleet jump start! ”
The fleet made a collective U-turn. The Cliff and Assassin commanders were in a mess at this point, and they looked at the Hibernator drone in fear in the tactical view, and they really felt the urge to roar loudly to release the pressure.
A pale red stance is quietly permeating, it is the anti-jump stance of the hibernators! At this most critical moment, the last Cliff Class was ready, and it almost entered the jump channel!
"I'm a bear on it!" Lynch was so excited that his legs couldn't support him and he fell to the ground weakly. Shocked, Russo and Grant rushed up to pick him up.
Lynch smiled bitterly: "Literacy...... We are the king of solitary waves, and we are scared! What a ......" finally held back a barrage of expletives.
He understands that this kind of performance is already considered to be of excellent quality. It's not a game, it's a real world. Once captured by the hibernators, it is death, and there is no more Lynch in the world.
Lynch landed.
"Kadia, turn off overload, turn off the micro jump engine, and cruise around the Exploration Class 1." Lynch knows now is not the time to show emotion. He bit his cheek and swore fiercely that he would kill these hibernators, and there would be no attrition!
Lao Tzu led the team for the first time, give face!
The fleet landed.
"Fleet combat broadcast, extension of the target DMZ03 and DMZ02 lines, cruising 200M/s propulsion!"
Temporarily safe, Lynch silently made a plan. He's going to go around in circles around this unknown magnetic field and break the hibernators!
