Chapter 553: Warp Speed Interception Drone

At this moment, there was a shaking under his feet, which was caused by an attack satellite not far away being blown up by the Corruptor, and a large number of debris crashed into the side of the ship.

When the displacement compensation system of the "Eternal Night" adjusted the position of the battleship and stabilized it again, Bick? Fred's eyes swept over the virtual sandbox of the operations console and saw that the Morning Star had retreated to the G-25 area.

"Huh?" He had a bad feeling in his heart, and immediately ordered the bridge crew to display the latest movements of the "Morning Star" on the large screen No. 2, and then, a suspicious situation was discovered.

A crack cracked in the center of the cylindrical shelter on both sides of the bow of the "Morning Star", spewing out two rows of high-pressure gas, and then peeling off from the hull, two missile-like flying devices with tail thrusters ignited, shooting a neon in the void, rushing into the distance at great speed.

After a short while, the flying device stopped several hundred kilometers away from the "Morning Star", the thrusters turned off, and the shell of the missile body cracked in an orderly manner, erected like an open umbrella, and slowly rotated.

Through the image magnified countless times by the optical camera, you can see the flowing silver light pattern of the "umbrella handle", and the dark blue ε characters on the umbrella surface.

"It's actually two Ipsilon devices!" Vick? Fred was taken aback.

At this moment, the intelligence officer reported another situation: "General, a wide range of space-time oscillations have been detected, and it should be a warp speed interception device similar to a torque regulator and a warp scrambling system. ”

"Warp speed interceptor?"

Vick? Fred swept over the virtual sand table and noticed the coordinates of the two Epsilon devices, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He understood...... That kid was going to intercept the First Fleet of the Night's Legion.

Not to mention how he learned about the First Fleet's jump path, such a battle plan alone is shocking. "Morning Star" actually wanted to intercept nearly a thousand warships of the First Fleet by himself, was that kid surnamed Tang crazy? Even if there is warp interception equipment of the Ipsilons, what will the "Morning Star" use to fight the First Fleet?

The First Fleet has nearly a thousand warships, and even if they are intercepted, there will be a "hard stun" time. So what? The cluster of living warships was dragged down by many space-based defense facilities, garrison fleets, and tulip ships, and the bow cannon of the Morning Star was powerful, but in the face of thousands of warships, it was allowed to let it attack, and it was already the limit to be able to sink dozens of ships at most, once the ships of the First Fleet regained their ability to act. One can imagine what awaits it.

Reality didn't give him much time to think, as the signal source on the ship's warp sensor display increased rapidly, the dark void in the G-25 area flashed one afterimage after another, and the vanguard fleet belonging to the First Fleet of the Night Legion was the first to be forced out of the virtual space, and the EMP shock wave caused the ship's equipment to be overloaded and temporarily paralyzed.

Small and medium-sized warships such as the Fur Seal-class frigates and Seahorse-class destroyers have weak shielding effects on strong electromagnetic pulses, and their portholes are pitch black. It's like a coffin.

The portholes and indicators of warships with excellent security systems, such as Manatee-class heavy assault ships, SEAL-class heavy interceptors, and Sea-Lion-class cruisers, are sometimes bright and dark, like haunted ghost ships.

The "Aurora" shield in the bow of the "Morning Star" caved into a large hole, and the wrath of the stars was ignited again, like a spitting volcano. The particle beam carved a long path through a Sea Lion-class heavy cruiser, two Seahorse-class destroyers, and finally blasted the bow of a Manatee-class heavy assault ship before disappearing after a few flashes. Leaving a few specks of light and flames in the steam, the wreckage of the battleship capsized to one side.

The distance of several kilometers in front of the Ipsilong interceptor drone flashed again, and another battleship formation was forced out of the virtual space. Temporarily paralyzed. They are battleship battle formations composed of main combat ships such as Walrus-class battleships and Sea Lion-class cruisers, with a total of 400 ships.

The last to appear was the Poseidon-class aircraft carrier "Doom Bringer" and its combat escort formation, which belonged to the First Fleet of the Night Legion.

DuPont? Cataland is a white man in his 50s, with a well-defined face and a calm, wise gaze, even when the car is forced out of virtual space and the battleship is paralyzed. There was no expression of fear or nervousness, which made people wonder if he was a person or a statue sitting in the captain's seat, and he could see the danger as nothing.

Although the "Doom Bringer" is a main aircraft carrier. The safety protection measures for the electromagnetic pulse are in place, and the "hard stun" time is not longer than that of medium-sized warships such as Manatee-class heavy assault ships and young Sea Lion-class light cruisers, but as the flagship of a fleet, it is naturally the most vulnerable to special attention from hostile firepower.

Anyone knows that it is far more cost-effective to take out the command unit of a fleet than to destroy some of the capital ships.

In stark contrast to him, including the first mate Hatherine? Kagome, including the bridge crew, turned pale with fright from the scene in front of them, and looked at a loss.

Who would believe that a thousand-class fleet can be intercepted with just one destroyer?

According to common sense, if you want to intercept a fleet like the First Fleet of the Night Legion, you must first find out the fleet's jump path and destination coordinates, and secondly, you need dozens of interceptor ships to form a warp interception line.

In the form of a battlefield for "Mubarak", the Tang gang did not have the ability to set up a warp interception line at all, and the distance from the warp interception net on the outside of Planet 6 to Planet 3 "Arumega" was very close. Generally speaking, unless there is early preparation and a warp speed interception line is set up in advance, it is simply impossible to force a thousand-ship fleet sailing at ultra-low warp speed out of the virtual space, causing an EMP shock storm that affects the whole ship, and forming such a great strategic advantage.

Some people look at the ships that are tumbling away in flames, wondering if they will end up like that.

More people cast their eyes on the two warp interception devices on the periphery of the warship cluster.

"What's that? It doesn't look like a human creation. ”

"Look at that character, this ...... This must be the Epsilon thing. ”

"Two Ipsilon warp interception devices of more than 20 meters can force a conventional fleet out of virtual space, which is ...... That's too powerful, isn't it? ”

First mate Hatherine looked at Dupont, who was silent? Cataland immediately ordered the ship's officer: "Tell the Carrier-based Aircraft Wing to attack immediately, and must delay the 'Morning Star'." ”

The "Doom Bringer" energy system, power system and some of the ship's electrical equipment failed, but the hangar, dock and other modules encountered interceptions and other emergencies in order to cope with it. The independent energy supply mode is adopted, and the "Skyhawk" class aerospace fighters will not be affected by the EMP shock wave, and can carry out emergency operations, buying time for the fleet to resume operation.

"General...... General ......"

After giving the order according to the emergency plan, she looked at the captain's seat again, not understanding why the commander, who had always been calm and sophisticated, could lose his mind in such a tense situation. This is not in keeping with his identity.

"I'm thinking...... What the hell is that kid scheming? ”

"The 'Morning Star' is indeed a powerful warship, a comprehensive combat unit that integrates defense, attack, and interception, and its value can even be compared to that of a fleet. But value is one thing, and the role it can play on the battlefield is another. For evenly matched battles, if it participates in the battle, it will naturally be the only magic weapon to win, but in the current battlefield environment of the scale of the group fleet, it will not have the effect of determining the outcome of one ship, just like the stealth battleship. It can affect the local battlefield, but it can't sweep thousands of troops, and it still needs many living warships as the main offensive force to subvert the 'Mubarak' defense line. ”

"IF I GUESSED CORRECTLY, THE 'MORNING STAR' MAIN GUN DOES NOT OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY, THERE MUST BE A PERIOD OF CHARGING TIME BETWEEN TWO FIRES, AND WITHOUT THE MAIN GUN, THE 200MM RAILGUN THAT THE LIGHTNING PYTHON-CLASS DESTROYER COMES WITH ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH TO POSE A THREAT TO THE FLEET. Also, what did he mean by sending those two triangular cone battleships to the other side? Sniping the battleship battle formations of the Second Fleet? ”

"The battle has been going on so far. Do you still think that kid came to 'Mubarak' to die? ”

Hatherine shook her head, "Those pirates, and us. Du Yan zhòng underestimated his strength. ”

Du Pont said: "It's not just us, but also the Star Alliance, and the Emperor Xià, and even the Mengya Empire, who knows him the most. ”

"With his ingenuity, would he be reckless in sending only one battleship the 'Morning Star' to intercept an entire regular fleet? Did he think that the Ipsi Dragon Shield could withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of thousands of warships? What the hell was he thinking? Or what are you planning? ”

What does he think with Vic? Fred was similar, and both believed that Captain Don, who could force the Mubarak defenders to this point, was not an arrogant man. Rather, it is a cunning and ferocious dragon.

"In any case, there are nearly 500 Skyhawks and a handful of independent energy supply weapons holding the Morningstar in tow, unless he orders the Living Battleship to abandon the attack on the final line of defense and attack us instead," Hatherine said. It's a stinky move that doesn't make much use. ”

According to the calculations of the damage control system, the "Doom Messenger" and some large ships will be able to move again in four minutes, and the weapon system will also be launched in seven minutes.

She did not believe that the independent energy-supplying weapons of 500 air-space fighters and some capital ships could not hold back the opponent's footsteps, and if the "Doom Messenger" could not survive in this way, it would only mean that they had a bad year.

Despite DuPont? Cataland said that, she still thought that the Morning Star's bow main gun would most likely target the Doombringer next time, because if it were her, she would definitely do it.

DuPont? Cataland didn't agree with what she said above, although from a logical point of view, he didn't think that kid would have been able to ignore these situations, and judging from his daring to attack "Mubarak", it was a guy who took an unusual path, and obviously, "logic" did not apply to him.

"Hatherine?"

"What's the matter?"

"If someone who doesn't have anything to do asks you how much money you make a month, how do you answer?"

Hatherine thought for a moment and said honestly, "5000SLD." ”

SLD has a similar meaning to MYD, except that the former represents the currency of the Sulu Empire and the latter represents the currency of the Monya Empire.

"Since even you understand the importance of hiding your strength, let alone a little fox like him."

DuPont had seen the fleet's financial expenditure statement more than once, and Hatherine's salary was actually 8564.68 after deducting personal income tax and personal contributions such as insurance and pensions, which did not include various benefits, privileges and other resources that were unattainable to commoners, as well as higher amounts of aristocratic allowances.

Her eyes widened and she stammered, "You...... You mean...... He...... Is there any means he has not yet used? ”

Bio Battleships, Bio Fortresses. Aurora shield, Star Fury, stealth battleship, Ipsilon's warp interceptor drone, gold-armored combat unit of unknown origin...... These random ones are enough to make the major forces fight for their heads and blood. Could it be that this is not all his strength?

"Can't you see it?"

"Can't see anything?"

DuPont? Cataland said with a gloomy face: "He wants to establish his authority, and the defenders of 'Mubarak' are the most suitable objects to sacrifice the flag." In other words, his goal in this battle is to wipe out the entire Legion of Doom from the world! ”

Hatherine's expression became extremely exciting, like a piece of "nine-layer skin" steamed with rice, leeks, gardenia and other ingredients, and the feelings of disbelief, stunned, frightened, and dazed were pasted on her face layer by layer.

She never imagined that the guy was so ambitious.

500 air-space fighters flew out of the 10 ports on the surface of the ship like worker bees leaving the hive and starting to work, like a torrent of steel passing through the gaps of each ship, swarming towards the "Morning Star" at the front, as well as the two Ipsilon warp interceptor drones.

The scene is spectacular. Recruits who have just joined the army, or enthusiastic teenagers in front of the TV, will feel hot and excited when they see it, and they will be proud of the strength of their national army.

Although it was not their country, but the country of the powerful!

Hatherine was past the age of enthusiasm, and besides, she was a woman, not simple-minded. A male animal with strong blood. Of course, she is also not a big-breasted woman...... Her breasts are not big. The hair is also not long.

At this moment, compared to the air battle lion and the sky eagle, she felt that those fighters were like a group of fire-fighting moths.

What's even more tragic is that the person who sent them to death was none other than her!

She thought about it for a moment and thought it was normal. Only by sacrificing some people will others be given a chance to live.

It's a pity that the people of the Aerospace Fighter Combat Wing don't know what their superiors think, and of course, even if they do, they are powerless to resist.

Mr. Rate has changed to an Ipsilon-warp interceptor drone. A circle of faint blue light sprinkled from the edge of the umbrella cover, spreading a spindle-shaped shield on the surface, and the large-caliber cannon used by the air and space fighters from a long distance hit it and was ejected into it, and even the missiles could not hurt a single bit.

The warp interceptor drone more than 20 meters long is actually equipped with an energy shield, which is really speechless.

But in the next second, something even more speechless appeared, they not only have energy shields, but also have the ability to attack, the crystal structure at the tip of the umbrella will shoot out a series of slender pulsed lasers every 1 second, and the front air and space fighters have no time to dodge, they will explode into colorful fireworks one after another, as gorgeous as neon.

Everyone on the "Doom Bringer" froze, and Hatherine looked at the big screen with a blank expression: "That...... What the hell is that? ”

"I guess...... They were supposed to be two UAVs, combat / interceptor dual-purpose UAVs of the Ipsi Dragons. ”

His guess, while not entirely correct, is not far from the truth.

These two UAVs not only have interception and attack capabilities, but also have reconnaissance capabilities, which can capture and measure the weak warping effect in virtual space like warp probes, and the scope of action is quite broad, not to mention that the Tang side has already planted several Protoss detectors near the warp speed interception network of the 6th planet of "Mubarak" when it launched an attack, even if it is not arranged, the warp interception drones on the two wings of the bow will also summarize the measurement data to the "Morning Star" combat command platform as soon as possible.

The "Lost Land" and the "Cupid" and SCV jointly restored dozens of Ipsisauron relics, which can be valued by the Tang side and installed on the "Morning Star", are not ordinary goods.

For example, these two warp speed interception drones are integrated aircraft that integrate warp speed detection, interception, and close defense capabilities, and they are also relatively advanced equipment in the Ipsilong weapon system, and they are used to deal with human air and space fighters, so you can imagine what the situation will be.

The "Doom Messenger" is about 40 meters longer than the "Eternal Night" and is equipped with a total of 480 "Sky Eagle", "War Eagle" and "Falcon" class attack air and space fighters, as well as other auxiliary aircraft such as communication repeaters, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, unmanned fighter planes, and engineering towboats.

In order to delay the Morning Star, Hatherine released all 480 attack air and space fighters in one go, of which 48 Skyhawk fighters from 2 squadrons were sent to deal with warp interceptor drones.

The pilots thought it was a beauty difference, at least better than gnawing on a hard bone like the "Morning Star".

It turned out that they were very wrong, and in less than a minute, all 48 Skyhawk fighters were destroyed under the pulsed laser beam of the warp speed interceptor drone, and none of them were spared.

The equipment used by human countries to intercept warships in the warp speed navigation state, excluding the warp interception network built by space-based warp speed interception equipment at the edge of the star system, only the light interceptor ships and heavy interceptor ships in the warship system remain, and even the Morning Mist-class light interceptor ship of the Republic of Date is the smallest in the Hillenbuir region interceptor ship series, which is more than 130 meters.

And the current Ipsilong warp speed interception drone is only more than 20 meters, and it also has a shield and offensive ability, how can this not shock and fear Sulu Empire officers like Lu Yongjun and Hatherine. (To be continued......)
