Chapter 498: Defensive Counterattack (1)
At this moment, the warp speed level value on the flight status indicator was close to 0 points, and at the same time as the damage control system issued a warning sound, the hull of the ship was bumped again, and the displays connected to the warship's sensing system flashed on the left and right, and then turned white.
"Morningstar" broke away from virtual space and appeared in the real universe.
The crew member of the damage control management post immediately reported the injury: "Captain, the sensing system was malfunctioned by the EMP impact, the main engine was overloaded, the 220mm railgun arrays on both wings went offline, and the radar and communication systems were also affected by different ranges. ”
"It doesn't matter."
With detectors to assist in the reconnaissance, it did not matter whether the "Morningstar's" sensing system and radar equipment were out of order, and when the crew reported their injuries, he had already released four detectors to start wide-area scanning and search for interceptors.
"Defense team, immediately open the star ring and activate the 'Aurora'."
"Yes, Captain." As soon as the voice fell, one of the crew members of the defense team pressed the key button.
The dead silence of the "Morning Star" erupted from the belly of the ship, white air currents erupted, sporadic lights up, and the four beams were erected from the folded state, and the two ends were unfolded into a wheel-like structure.
With the crystalline body embedded on the surface of the bright pen qu pavilion www.biquge.info a little starlight, the cracks on the outer surface of the star ring radiated a circle of colorful light, they were composed of multiple particles constrained by the force field, looking from a distance like a large net of aurora that was getting longer and longer, quickly spreading, the end of the battleship.
However, the Aurora shield expands quickly, and a warning signal from the observer is faster.
Just before Tang Fang could react, one, two, three...... A total of three pillars of cyan blue light shot from a very long distance, hitting a point on the underside of the "Morning Star" star ring.
The tide of colorful particles is like a stirred water surface, and it suddenly loses its balance. While the shield was still in shape, the three pillars of light dispersed the tide of particles and hit the main body of the ring.
A dazzling flash erupted from the belly of the "Morning Star", and the star ring was injured and broken, and the shield energy in the corresponding part was unsustainable, forming a defensive gap.
Inside the bridge. The red spot on the indicator of the shield system that was hit by the pillar of light flickered, and the "Aurora" shield that should have been spindle-shaped was like a broken eggshell, revealing a large piece.
Affected by this, the strength of the entire shield has also been greatly reduced, only at the previous level of 30%.
The battleship was subjected to EMP recoil, the main systems were shut down, and now the "Aurora" shield has also suffered heavy damage, and for a time it has fallen into a very dangerous situation.
Tang Fang never thought that such an accident would happen, according to the current scientific level. Warp speed interception equipment can interrupt the warship's warp speed navigation, but it cannot accurately calculate the coordinates of the intercepted warship out of virtual space, which gives some warships the opportunity to escape from the sky or fight back, unless the interceptor has a large number of military forces, laying a net of heaven and earth, otherwise, it is difficult to strike at the warship that has just left the virtual space at the first time.
The Morningstar's shield system is derived from the Universal Force Field Generator, similar to the Antimatter-Assisted Propulsion System. As an independent module, it is stored in the battleship and does not belong to the same energy supply chain as the main engine. This ensures that even if the "Morning Star" is intercepted by the enemy, it can turn on its shield to protect itself at the first time.
What is puzzling is that less than one minute after the "Morning Star" left the virtual space, it was actually hit accurately by the enemy, and according to the scanning results transmitted by the detectors, the number of enemy ships was not large. There are only 5 of them.
Since the other side is not in the wide-net interception mode, it can only show one problem, they can predict the direction of the "Morning Star" to the maximum.
And that's not the most surprising part, according to the super performance of the "Aurora", even if the shield is not fully formed. The battleship-level weapons of the navies of countries such as the Star Alliance, the Silver Eagle Regiment, and the Phoenix Empire do not have more than a dozen quantities, so they don't want to blast through the shell of the "Aurora" at all.
But the current situation is that the opponent only has 3 warships to activate the main guns, so they tear the unformed "Aurora" shield and blast a corner of the main structure of the star ring, you can imagine how powerful its main guns are.
Not to mention the destructive effect it causes, judging from the attack method alone, it is easy to feel that the enemy ship is unusual, because it is an energy-type attack, not a live bullet like a railgun, and it is also different from plasma weapons, according to the number sent by the detector, Emma analyzed that it should be a high-energy laser.
Combined with the image of the enemy ship captured by the detector's sensing equipment, it made him feel even more weird, I am afraid that the person who attacked this time was far from as simple as he imagined.
It was a silver battleship with a body length of about 170 meters and a triangular pyramid shape, and the snow wolf totem was faintly visible on the side of the ship.
In the memory of the Tang side, none of the warships of the same specification still in service in the navies of the countries of the Hillenbuir region matched their appearance, which shows that the enemy did not come from the military, but should be the private army of someone or a certain force.
"Tang Fang, what should I do?"
Aros interrupted his musings, and the normally steady veteran's face showed a hint of apprehension, after all, the scene before him was too appalling, and this was the first time that the Morningstar had been severely damaged since the transformation was completed.
"Driving group, activate the antimatter auxiliary thruster, direction 100, angle 30, full speed ahead."
At the same time as the order was issued, the Tang side had released 63 Corruptors, 42 Wyverns, 35 Viking fighters, and 3 Iron Crows, and flocked to the 5 Triangular Cone warships behind the "Morning Star" in a fan-shaped queue.
The accident just now is not for him to be careless, the origin of the next 5 battleships is a mystery, and it is like a lot of power, in the case of the damage of the "Aurora" shield now, once careless, it will be the end of the ship's destruction and death.
The tail antimatter auxiliary thruster of the "Morning Star" ignited, and the battleship turned and flew forward according to his orders, while the air force of the Worm and Bug behind accelerated in reverse, dividing into five packs towards the enemy ship.
Heavy missile launchers on both sides of the bow of the triangular cone battleship burst into flames, and missiles several meters long swarmed out, rushing straight towards the mixed human and insect air force, and at the same time, the bilge at the bottom of the ship opened, and several miniature versions of the triangular cone battleships with a body length of about 18 meters were thrown into the battlefield and shot away after the heavy missiles.
An iron crow projects a fixed-point unmanned target aircraft, and the laser weapon obtains a radar synchronization signal and fires an interceptor laser at the front heavy missile.
If it is an ordinary heavy missile, it will naturally be destroyed if it is hit by a laser of a fixed-point unmanned target aircraft, however. A jaw-dropping situation occurred, and the bulges on the surface of the heavy missile were so bright that they were woven into a protective shield composed of a diamond-shaped matrix on the surface of the missile, and the interceptor laser launched by the fixed-point unmanned target aircraft hit it with a ripple-like surge, and then disappeared without a trace, and the missile continued to accelerate forward.
Viking fighters and wyverns are fast. The MT50 Lanzel Mine was used to bombard the main body of the Triangular Cone Battleship, while the Wyvern was able to maneuver and surround the small Triangular Cone Aircraft, while the slower Corruptors were left behind, and they were the main force against the Triangular Cone Battleship.
With 150 units of manpower and insect air force, the five triangular pyramid warships and their combat aircraft showed that the Tang side attached great importance to the enemy.
The speed of the wyvern is very fast, and it is difficult for the main warship and string cannon to accurately lock on to them, but the weapon used by the small triangular cone is a honeycomb laser emitter, which rotates quickly through guò, which can compress the space of the wyvern to the greatest extent. Carry out fire suppression.
A wyvern fell into the turret's range of fire surrounded by two small triangular cone aircraft, and a flaming laser beam rained down, shooting countless blackened holes in its body until it was smashed into a sieve and reduced to minced flesh floating in the void.
At this moment, a wyvern sprang out from the diagonal bottom, spun in the air, and the tail structure spewed out a semi-perceptual blade worm carrying extremely high kinetic energy towards the target.
The honeycomb laser emitter of a small triangular pyramid vehicle was destroyed and caught fire. But several other blade insects were catapulted by the diamond-shaped matrix on the surface of the aircraft, and at this moment. A Viking fighter jet spun and swept over, and 2 MT50 Lanzel Mines hit the Blade Worm just now.
The antimatter warhead exploded under stress, and the flames surged, and the diamond-shaped matrix was like an overwhelmed glass, shattering into countless spots of light of various sizes in an instant.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Wyvern once again shoots a group of blade worms. Piercing the pitch-black shell of the small triangular cone aircraft, it emits a series of explosions that burst into flames.
The small triangular cone next to it didn't have time to turn around, and a pair of 50mm rapid-fire guns suddenly poked out on both sides of the main engine under the tail wingspan, and armor-piercing shells were continuously spilled. The wyvern screamed again and again, the scales on the surface of his body were like broken eggshells, and the blood splattered in all directions, condensing into a ball of blood.
The Corrupt in the rear finally approached the front line, the front end opened its huge beak, and the liquid sacs on both sides wriggled, and the slurry wrapped in parasitic spores shot out, and smashed into the bow of the small triangular cone aircraft, coating the corrosive slurry in one piece.
The balance of the heavy particle ordering that makes up the diamond-shaped matrix was broken, and the slurry that penetrated inward quickly corroded and disintegrated the diamond-shaped matrix layer by layer, and the original golden shield became dull, and the two MT50 Lanzel Flying Mines drew a beautiful arc, shattering the diamond-shaped matrix and tearing the small triangular cone aircraft apart.
To the surprise of the Viking pilot, the triangular cone aircraft did not forget to turn the honeycomb laser emitter in the bow of the ship at the moment before the explosion, and used the most central main gun to scratch the right wing of the Viking fighter, causing it to lose its balance, and was hit by a heavy missile, turning into a violent flash of light in the cold and dark void, and throwing countless fragments with fire and arcs.
As the small triangular cone disintegrated and exploded, a large amount of smoke and dust flew outward, and the first corruptor was hit in the tail by a heavy missile that burst out of the smoke as it flew diagonally.
This heavy missile with a shield is, to put it bluntly, a suicide drone filled with a small fusion core core that explodes with a power that rivals a nuclear bomb.
The same flash of light illuminated the void for kilometers as the Corruptor's entire body was engulfed in a massive fireball, turning into nothingness.
At this moment, a dazzling pillar of blue light pierced the surging firelight, and a brilliant halo spread out under the refraction of the billowing smoke cloud, and then the remaining speed did not decrease, piercing through a corruptor 5 kilometers ahead, continuing to cross nearly 100 kilometers, hitting the shield on the upper surface of the Morning Star, splashing a splash of blue light.
An Iron Raven flew out of the rear queue, taking the opportunity to lock on to the Triangular Cone battleship, the front ejection bay opened, and the Iron Raven bomb with a diameter of several meters ignited away, and collided headlong on the chassis of the Triangular Cone battleship under the guidance of the enemy's laser, triggering a more dazzling flash than the explosion of a heavy missile.
At the same time, two Viking fighters cut in diagonally, and at the same time as six MT50 Lanzel Thunderbolts roared out, the 40mm Gatling cannons on both sides of the nose spilled two rows of light rain, accurately hitting the blasting point of the Iron Raven bomb.
Continuous flickering firelight reflected the surrounding void, drawing waves of fire in the glass frame of the Viking fighter's cockpit.
As a result of this blow, even the Triangular Pyramid Battleship's diamond matrix is much more powerful than that of a small Triangular Pyramid Aircraft. However, in this way of striking with a point-breaking surface, it is inevitable that there will be local damage, and after a few flashes of a diamond-shaped shield, the binding force field overload collapses, and the disordered heavy particles are blown away by the shock and detonation waves generated by the Iron Crow Bomb and the MT50 Lanzel Flying Thunder, like golden silk wool in the air. Diffuse into the surrounding void, then darken, fall silent.
The armor-piercing projectile containing extremely high kinetic energy took the opportunity to drill into the diamond-shaped matrix and hit the metal shell of the triangular pyramid battleship, leaving a row of dense bullet holes.
The Triangular Cone is 170 meters in size, and the 40mm armor-piercing shells fired by Viking fighters are difficult to cause fatal damage, but they are a wake-up call for pilots who can ruthlessly run over pirate warships and even conventional naval fleets. There is no advantage in the face of Captain Tang, these small flying units can also break the diamond-shaped matrix and endanger the battleship itself.
The essence of the diamond matrix is a kind of heavy particle shield, which is used to arrange and rectify them with a force field through the restraint devices all over the surface of the hull, so that it can form a certain thickness of glue flow heavy particle area. Not only can it be effective against energy-type weapons, but it can also defend against kinetic bullets.
A series of powerful Iron Raven Bombs and 6 MT50 Lanzel Thunderbolts. The resulting blast damage and thermal radiation cause an extremely high load on the diamond-shaped matrix of a certain block, thus breaking the defenses and causing the restraint device to be overloaded, while the 40mm cannon fire behind it seems to be disorderly, but in fact it has severely destroyed the binding force field generator on the surface of the hull in the area, that is, . Before the damaged restraint device is replaced, there will be a gap in the diamond-shaped matrix covering the entire hull, which is similar to the state of the "Morning Star", which can be described as Captain Tang's "return to the other in the other way".
Vikings and Wyverns are highly flexible, and it is difficult to replace damaged restraints on the surface of the hull in a combat situation. The Triangular Cone battleship was forced to have no choice but to release the reserve six small Triangular Cone aircraft to reduce the pressure on the main ship, and then break through the air battlefield filled with gunpowder at maximum speed and chase after the "Morning Star" that accelerated to escape.
Although the human race has no battle patrols, and the insect swarm has not formed a scale, but the other party's triangular cone battleship is only a 170-meter light destroyer, this scene really gave Tang Fang an unexpected and reasonable "surprise".
Sure enough, the whole universe is not as turbulent as it seems on the surface, but the dark tide is turbulent, the turmoil is treacherous, and in those unknown areas hidden in the darkness, there are really people, or forces, who can compete with him.
This is different from the previous situation when facing the Lancelot Guards in the Megal star system, when the human and insect air forces also fell into a bitter battle in the face of the "Silver Wheel", and even fell behind, and finally because of Dunbar? Taylor turned against the water and used the foundation super-large caliber heavy particle cannon to break the defense of the "Silver Wheel" and take out Lancelot.
The shield of the "Silver Wheel" comes from the Epsilon Ruins, which belongs to the wisdom of the ancestors, as for Lancelot's Guard Fleet, it looks majestic, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a rich man who uses money to build up four dislikes, whether it is a plasma cannon, a laser cannon, or a quantum radar array that can implement wide-area scanning, these scientific and technological equipment represent the most cutting-edge science and technology, but if you want to move from real products to practical equipment, there are still many technical problems that have not been overcome, therefore, The Guards Fleet, which the young duke was proud of, was, in Tang Fang's words, flashy, rich and capricious.
But at present, these triangular cone battleship forces that have been killed halfway have truly mastered the warship technology that surpasses the current level of science and technology.
a heavy missile equipped with a fusion core and a diamond-shaped matrix; an air-space fighter with a honeycomb small-caliber laser launcher and a diamond-shaped matrix; Triangular pyramid warship integrating a miniature aircraft carrier platform, advanced warp interception equipment, ultra-high-power nuclear fusion plasma engine, large-caliber laser weapons and a large diamond-shaped matrix;
From the above, it can be seen that the unknown force has at least the following technologies:
First, the miniaturization and high efficiency of laser weapons have successfully solved the problem of core core overload under heat dissipation and high-frequency shooting.
Second, the miniaturization, practicality, and multi-purpose of nuclear fusion technology.
Third, the very mature shield technology can be refined or simplified.
Fourth, advanced warp speed interception equipment is capable of carrying out accurate interception operations.
Fifth, the storage of the miniature aircraft carrier platform means that the internal space of the 170-meter-long warship takes up less space, the system modules are more efficient, and even the number of crew members is greatly reduced.
At this moment, Tang Fang stood in front of the combat control platform, staring at the battle image on the big screen of Bridge No. 2 and was silent, he actually felt very shocked in his heart, but he knew very well that he had to show a calm side, because only in this way could he calm the nervous mood of Claire and the others.
Intercepted, the "Aurora" shield was damaged, the enemy ship was in pursuit, and the technology was terrifying...... I'm afraid that no one would be happy in such a situation. (To be continued......)
