Chapter 17: Artillery Battles
Noichi didn't even care at this time that he had become the focus of the entire archipelago, because a cannonball landed on the side of the pirate ship, and the column of water that stirred up was poured on the bow deck. Barry and Arcier also hurried into the cabin, Barry operated the boat, Achill controlled the cannon, Yege and Lingxi were also in the wheelhouse for the time being, and Noyi was on guard.
The first shot was just proofreading, and with the calibration of the first shot, the patrol boat fired the first rapid-fire at the corsair, and the 30-caliber rapid-fire guns burst into bursts, two of which blew a large hole in the bow. Fortunately, the Corsair itself is also a patrol boat eliminated by the Federation in the past, although the technology is old, there is no problem with the hull life and strength, and the two rapid-fire guns are still no problem as long as they do not shoot at the lethal parts. Achill gritted his teeth, and also fired back at the patrol boat, after a burst of rapid fire, there was also a shot next to the side of the patrol boat, of course, it did not cause any substantial damage to the patrol boat, although the pirate ship's rapid-fire gun is also 30 caliber, but the rate of fire is much lower, plus the patrol boat is stronger and faster, the pirate ship is very disadvantaged. After a few rounds of fire, the pirate ship received several shots, but the patrol boat received only two shots.
Just when Achill was in a hurry to fire and was about to fire again, Lingxi opened his mouth and shouted: "Brother Archier, the muzzle of the cannon is 214 degrees 13 minutes, and the angle is 43 degrees 05 minutes!" Archer shouted with a spirit: "This, this cannon is too old, not accurate to the score!" Lingxi shouted again: "The sutra has changed, the muzzle of the cannon is 217 degrees, and the angle is 45 degrees!" Archer hurriedly manipulated Lingxi's data, and as soon as the cannon went out, the cannonball smashed next to the window of the cockpit of the patrol boat, scaring the helmsman of the patrol boat on the opposite side, and subconsciously turned around. Achill was pleasantly surprised: "Lingxi, you are an intelligent assistant!" Lingxi shouted again: "216 degrees, 47 degrees" This time Achill did not hesitate any longer, and fired the cannon at a faster speed, this cannon hit the flue heat vent of the patrol boat, although the rapid-fire gun caliber is small, but there are still some fragments after the explosion, and the engine below immediately reacts, and the speed of the patrol boat decreases.
Achill no longer hesitated, adjusted the rate of fire to the fastest burst, Lingxi shouted a series of angles again, "bang bang bang" a burst of fire, three shells pasted the face of the patrol boat's cockpit, one of the shots finally penetrated the cockpit, blowing one of the crew members inside in two on the spot, and several crew members were injured. The patrol boat was temporarily muted, and just now Eric's command boat came with another patrol boat of the team, and two cannons rained down on the pirate ship, and the fragments of the explosion shattered the glass in the cockpit, but fortunately, Night Song and Noyi were wearing battle armor and holding steel plates as shields to protect the rest of the people in the middle. The pirate ship with Lingxi's help was launched into the cockpit of the patrol boat again, and the crew of the first cabin of Eric's command boat just now was basically killed or injured. The other patrol boat was so frightened by two insidious shells that it turned around and ran after being fired at the heat vent in the power compartment. So there is a comical scene in the sea off Coppertooth, where a battered pirate ship is chasing after a well-established patrol boat.
In the command cabin on the Steel Rainbow Bridge, the guard's face was also a little unsightly, this was the naked face of the Bronze Tooth City, so he asked cautiously: "Lord Security Officer, do you want to use the weapons on the Steel Arc?" "It turns out that this steel rainbow bridge is called the Arc of Steel. Noge felt the solidity of the huge steel bridge under his feet, and his eyes were a little cold when he looked at the real-time video, and Noge spoke: "Let the arc of steel sweep, is there any AI on that ship." "This ship is too weird, it's not like a human being who controls the gun, but artificial intelligence, and such a patrol boat, I'm afraid no one in the most wealthy federation wants to install an expensive artificial intelligence."
With Noge's order, the probe on the top of the steel arc command module was opened, and various sensors scanned the pirate ship, and the data was quickly transmitted back, and then transmitted to the intelligent host protected by the underground layer, and after a while, the conclusion was fed back to Noge's hands, and the steel arc artificial intelligence analysis, 99.99999% of the opposite side may not exist artificial intelligence.
Nog nodded, as long as it's not the people of the Federation or the Empire who bring artificial intelligence to pretend to be pigs and tigers, it seems that there is a sharpshooter on it, then it's better to die. Norge spoke: "Use the small laser cannon of the Arc of Steel to destroy it." As soon as the guards were about to go, an emergency call sounded, the level was still very high, and Norge immediately connected it according to the procedure, and the holographic projection showed the face of Pinol, the director of the Fortuna Trade Hall of Coppertooth City, but this face was extremely ugly, Pinore said: "Noge, my son is on that pirate ship, no matter what, you have to save me." Nogg's brows finally furrowed, and he stopped the guards and said, "I'll find a way." Pinore roared, "That's my son!" I'm just such a son, I don't care, you have to save me! Someone was arrested under the nose of Coppertooth City, how did you become a security officer?! If you can't save it, I'm not done with you! Don't ask me for half a penny! "Pinore hung up the communication over there, and Nog also had a headache, this Pinore doesn't want to offend anyone, Coppertooth City has done a good job in trade over the years, and this person's credit is indispensable, after all, he is in charge of the money bag, but this son is too stupid, three patrol boats and so many battle armor soldiers, and he was arrested when he said he was caught? Noge pondered for a while and shouted: "Let the "Cog" class frigate go up, rely on the help, and the elite battle armor troops will board the ship to save people." ”
A large warship was dispatched in the harbor of Tongzhi City, this is a real foreign naval ship, the "gear" class frigate of Tongzhi City, with a displacement of about 3K tons, a length of about 100 meters, a wide hull, and a large number of weapon platforms on both sides, with small energy shields, laser close defense guns, and 30 caliber rapid-fire guns, and a 76 caliber naval gun in the bow, carrying four anti-ship missiles at the same time. This is the absolute capital ship of Coppertooth City, with a large number of equipment, except for a small number of "Coppertooth"-class destroyers, this is the strongest battleship in Coppertooth City.
As soon as the gear-class frigate was dispatched, Archer and Nuoyi were dumbfounded, this is not an opponent of the same level, the main gun of the 76 can basically put the pirate ship into the soul with one shot. Moreover, such ships are basically equipped with low-level artificial intelligence, and the control accuracy and reaction speed of all weapons are far from comparable to ordinary small boats. The gear-class frigate slowly approached, after all, it was a frigate built privately by Coppertooth City, and it was incomparable to the capital ships of the Federation and the Empire, but it was powerful enough in the archipelago, and it also made a lot of adaptive designs for the situation in the archipelago, such as the mechanical arm on the side of the ship, and the landing springboard. Night Song guessed a few points, why didn't the other party use the arc of steel and the main gun of the frigate to sink the pirate ship, this stunned pervert is only afraid that it is not a simple character, after checking on the personal terminal, Night Song is very determined, and safely put on the mask of the Valkyrie who sprays black, so as not to cause more waves if his identity is revealed.
When the Cog-class frigate approached, it shouted over a megaphone: "Opposite corsair, surrender immediately and be inspected." Barry turned the bow of the boat and sped away, no one dared to think about the consequences of being caught, except for Night Song. Archer also saw that it was strange, the other party didn't seem to dare to open fire, so he had the courage to let Lingxi report the data, and fired a series of shots at the bridge of the frigate, and the cannonballs were quickly resisted by the close defense cannon and the energy shield, which was so, the captain of the frigate was still taken aback, but he didn't expect the other party to dare to open fire, and this cannon was so accurate. If it weren't for the cog-class frigates, which are known for their support and defense, I am afraid that they would also be bitten. The captain shouted in surprise and anger: "Speed up and lean on me, the battle armor team is ready, and board the ship immediately after the mechanical arm captures it!" ”
The frigate increased its horsepower and soon approached the pirate ship, and the mechanical arm immediately spun to grab the pirate ship. The pirate ship's hull was quickly locked, and the steel claws scratched two holes in the side of the ship. Then a sliding door opened on the side of the frigate, and a group of battle-armored soldiers rushed out of it. This group of heavy soldiers is very different from the previous patrol boats, the battle armor has been significantly strengthened, the power core is larger, the strength and defense are stronger, and the battle armor soldiers led by them are holding large shields with energy shields, the two behind are holding combat knives made of high-strength alloys, and then behind are soldiers with large-caliber rifles, which is a targeted special operations squad at a glance.
Yege's brows also furrowed a little, such a team is very difficult to deal with, of course, she is no problem if she is not injured with Titan Alloy Battle Armor, but now I am afraid that it will be difficult for Nuoyi to do it, and I don't know how long it can be delayed. Before Night Song could think about it, he saw Nuoyi rush out like a cannonball, and his target was the Bronze Tooth City Battle Armor Squad on the springboard under the mechanical arm. The springboard extending from the sliding door is not wide, and the entire battle armor squad is marching forward in a column, and Nuoyi is very keenly aware that if the soldiers of the entire squad are spread out on the front deck of the pirate ship, it will be too difficult for him to deal with it, and to attack and defend the duel on the springboard, he will always only face the first soldier in front.
Yege was also impressed when he saw Nuoyi's choice, well, an excellent mecha master not only needs excellent technical skills, but also needs to have a strategic judgment and use of the entire battlefield. As soon as Nuo Yi jumped on the springboard, the first shield soldier jumped in eyelids, such a strong jumping ability, what model of the opponent's battle armor is so powerful! How does it look so weird and yet ... Slightly tattered?
