Chapter 291: Peripheral Clearance
"Give me the right to drive!"
With Mu Chen's order, the workbench of the previous year sank rapidly, and an operation bin rose up.
Mu Chen bent over and sat in, holding the familiar control panel in his hand, and continued in his mouth:
"Order two Dreadnought-class space carriers to follow the Grim Reaper and destroy the Zerg forces I missed, and the others ......"
A smile appeared at the corner of Mu Chen's mouth, took out the beef jerky in his pocket, and pinched one and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Others, fasten your seatbelts, fix your body, whoever dares to spit in the command room, I'll let him wipe the toilet for a year!"
The crew members who had served with Mu Chen before immediately understood that Lord Death was going to do it himself, so he quickly pulled out the seat belt behind the seat and fixed himself, and then invariably took out a roll of tape from his pocket and sealed his mouth.
The new crew members are a little unclear, but they also follow the example of their predecessors to fasten their seat belts, as for the tape that gags their mouths, forget it, they have undergone long-term space combat training, and they have never seen any big scenes, how can they spit it out?
But soon these new crew members began to regret it, why did sitting on the Grim Reaper feel like a roller coaster?
I know that the performance of the Reaper is good, but what is the reason for this acceleration beyond the limits of the human body? Why is adrenaline starting to get disobedient?
The Grim Reaper space carrier was like a chicken blood, from a static suspension state to an extremely fast speed, and the huge feeling of pushing back made several crew members who had no time to react directly unconscious, if they hadn't fastened their seat belts in advance, I am afraid that they would have begun to float all over the world at this time.
The Grim Reaper, with two Dreadnought-class space carriers, began to spin at high speed around the periphery with the blood-colored planet as the axis, and the launch rights of the "bayonet" laser weapon were also handed over to Mu Chen.
The six-pointed star in his left hand lit up in Mu Chen's pupils, catching the swarm of insects in front of him, and then the high-speed flying Grim Reaper sent out a series of lasers, accurately hitting those giant horned flying insects.
Soon the giant horned flying insects were eliminated one after another, but the crew in the command room completely became the audience, and they didn't have any chance to perform at all after Lord Death's shot, Mu Chen did all their work alone, and the efficiency was much higher than them.
The crew members were shocked by the non-human piloting skills of Lord Death, and their hearts were somewhat steady, but more of them desperately resisted the urge to vomit, they all knew that Lord Death seemed to have a bit of a habit of cleanliness and couldn't see disgusting things, and the crew would be glared at by him fiercely when they sneeze in the command room, if they really vomited in front of Lord Death, I am afraid that they would not want to lose a layer of skin.
The newly joined crew members silently took the tape from the hands of their seniors and sealed their mouths tightly, "Lord Death never jokes" is clear to everyone, saying that if they wipe the toilet for a year, it will definitely not be a day less.
No one wants to be the laughing stock of the entire fleet, let them wipe the toilet for a year, this is more terrible than dying on the battlefield, and the next life will not be able to forget this shame.
The two space carriers followed by the Grim Reaper worked hard to catch up with Mu Chen's speed, aiming is impossible to aim, the automatic aiming system can't lock the target at all at this speed, fortunately, the Zerg army covers the sky and the sun, everywhere, and you can hit some with your eyes closed, as long as you pay attention not to accidentally injure friendly soldiers.
The three space carriers were like a huge meat grinder, leaving patches of insect swarm and mutilation wherever they passed, and the pressure on the flight force composed of space fighters was suddenly reduced a lot.
Mu Chen also casually opened the energy shield of the ship's hull, although this shield could not defend against the Sonic weapons of Proxima Centauri, it still had a strong defensive effect against the high-speed impact of the Giant Horned Flying Insect and the corrosive liquid sprayed out.
It's just that the rate of energy consumption is greatly increased......
[Please note that the Reaper's energy is 24% remaining, which has reached the danger value, and the backup energy pool has been activated, and it will take an hour to recover to 50% ......]
There is bad news from the auxiliary system, the energy is not enough.
Although the capabilities of this new indomitable space carrier have been improved in all aspects, the only fatal weakness is that the energy consumption speed is too fast, 200 main guns will consume more than 20% of the energy in a salvo, and the huge hull also needs a lot of energy to support in flight, and the energy shield generators distributed in each corner of the battleship will also consume a lot of energy.
Even if the backup energy pool is activated, it will still not be able to meet the needs of the Reaper at this high cost.
"Two Dreadnoughts are in front of the Reaper, just like I did before, take on the main attack, and I'll take you in battle!"
Mu Chen had no choice but to make such a decision, the speed of the three space carriers slowed down, and the two Dreadnought space carriers overtook both sides of the Death, forming an inverted triangle formation, still with the blood-red Zerg base as the axis, clearing those giant horned flying insects from the outside.
Mu Chen's Grim Reaper spaceship had a breathing time, following behind the two Dreadnought spacecarriers, firing a few laser beams from time to time to eliminate enemies that might cause a crisis, and reducing the strength of the energy shield to increase the energy recovery speed as much as possible.
[The main energy pool is being recharged, and at the current recharge rate, it can recover to 50% after 20 minutes......]
"20 minutes?" Mu Chen calculated in his heart, it should be about the same, and it is not too much of a problem to let the two Intrepid space carriers buy themselves 20 minutes.
The Grim Reaper began to fight on the battlefield, and only when the swarm could threaten the fleet, it would take action to clear the threat, and the performance of the two Dreadnought space carriers was basically satisfactory to Mu Chen, and the three warships worked closely together, and the speed of clearing the swarm did not slow down too much.
Just when Mu Chen thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, the blood-colored planet suddenly cracked from the equatorial position, and a huge flying centipede came out of the crack......
"Spicy chicken thighs! What the hell is this Nima!? Mu Chen looked at the huge centipede in front of him, which was 1,500 kilometers long, and couldn't help but be surprised.
This giant zerg was not even mentioned in the information provided by Proxima Centauri, and Mu Chen did not have any information about it at all.
The length of 1,500 kilometers is longer than that of the Death space carrier, and although the width is not as wide as that of the Death, there are tens of thousands of dense pairs of insect feet lined up on both sides, which makes people feel creepy to watch.
The head of the flying centipede was hundreds of cubic meters in size, and there were sixty pairs of black eyes on it, each of which was the size of a table of eight immortals.
There is also a big mouth with canine teeth on the head, and if you bite into it with this big mouth, I'm afraid it won't end very well.
The flying centipede's flight is also very interesting, like a sea snake, twisting this huge body, countless pairs of insect feet can control the direction of progress while attacking, and the flight speed is terrifyingly fast, almost in the blink of an eye, it came to the vicinity of the three space carriers.
"Speed up and dodge, first find out the path of this crawler!" Mu Chen immediately ordered.
The captains of the two Intrepid space carriers were also taken aback by the behemoth, and as soon as they received the order, they kept increasing their flight speed and speeding up to escape the area.
But everyone didn't expect that this huge flying centipede seemed to be eyeing these three warships, closely following them, chasing after them.
"It's not okay to go on like this!" Mu Chen said with a frown.
Looking down at the replenishment of the battleship's energy pool, it had just reached 40%, which was almost enough.
"The two Intrepid space carriers flew separately, and I used the Grim Reaper to lure this beast away."
As soon as Mu Chen's words fell, the two captains of the Dreadnought immediately said, "No! Your Excellency, if you want to lure this reptile away, you should let me do it! ”
"Yes, your mission is to lead us to victory, in case something happens to the Reaper......"
The killing in Mu Chen's eyes leaked out, these two bastards actually dared to disobey their orders at this time, I'm afraid they haven't died!
"Lao Tzu is the commander, carry out the order!" Mu Chen said undoubtedly: "The speed of the Death is faster than your Dreadnought, and there will be no problem in the short term. ”
Even the captain had no choice but to obey the order and control his warship to leave from two directions.
And the Grim Reaper still fled in space with the flying centipede.
Anyone with such a big guy behind their butts will feel nervous, and Mu Chen will feel the same, especially when he finds that the speed of the Reaper is actually slower than this flying centipede, this sense of crisis is even stronger.
Mu Chen could only mobilize all his energy, open the energy shield on the tail of the mothership, resist the attack of the flying centipede as much as possible, and use himself
, trying not to let the stern thrusters suffer direct damage.
Once the thrusters are damaged, I'm afraid this battle can basically be over, without propulsion, the Reaper will soon be surrounded by swarms of swarms, this space carrier can not withstand so many swarm attacks in turn, it is estimated that the only fate is to die with the Zerg army.
If Mu Chen was the only one on this battleship, there would be nothing to do if he had to choose to die together, but now there are not only his sister Mu Yue, his girlfriend Laura, but also the wolf girl who has always been obedient to Mu Chen, as well as hundreds of thousands of crew members, no matter what, they can't be allowed to do anything, Mu Chen can only stubbornly insist.
But the situation became more and more critical, and after a failed dodge, one of the thrusters on the tail of the Grim Reaper was bitten off by a flying centipede.
The Reaper's flight speed dropped instantly, and the hull of the ship shook violently, apparently affecting its balance.
"Horse-stepping! Isn't this reptile afraid of being hot? After eating so much Lao Tzu, why didn't you burn it to death! ”
Mu Chen knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would be more seriously injured.
Mu Chen pushed the power to the end, grabbed the control disc with both hands and pulled it back, and the Grim Reaper made an unbelievable move in everyone's surprised eyes.
This 1,000-kilometer-long super battleship actually made a backflip in the air, you must know that this is not a space fighter with a body size of only more than 100 meters, manipulating such a behemoth to do such a difficult flight action, or in the case of damage to the battleship's thrusters, it is obvious that Mu Chen has begun to play with his life.
Mu Chen instantly opened the energy shield on the front of the battleship, and then the impact came, the head of the Death Battleship had a huge ramming angle, made of high-strength alloy, and it also opened a sharp front, like an extremely sharp giant axe, directly from the neck of the flying centipede.
The entire space battlefield seemed to be still at this moment, and the Zerg army and the real fighting space flight troops all listened at the same time, and their eyes watched the movement on the Grim Reaper's side without blinking.
In everyone's worried eyes, the collision angle of the Grim Reaper battleship actually directly pierced the body of the flying centipede, and then under the action of the thruster, the entire space carrier passed through the body of the flying centipede and split the flying centipede in two.
The body of the flying centipede writhed violently, and the green slime in its body sprayed out, like a huge watering can, and the green slime was thrown all over the sky.
The huge centipede's head had lost its vitality by this time, and its large mouth full of fangs opened and closed helplessly a few times before it stopped moving.
The crew of the Reaper fleet cheered instantly, thinking that the battle would be over like this, but who knew that in the case of certain death, Lord Reaper turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop and made a Jedi counterattack.
The crew of the Grim Reaper, who escaped alive, wanted to hug each other and cry, but they were still wearing seat belts and tape on their mouths, so they could only express the joy in their hearts with their eyes.
But Mu Chen didn't relax, the flying centipede that lost its head was not dead yet, and the huge body didn't know how much corrosive mucus was filled with, and it didn't stop for a long time, this kind of indiscriminate attack was extremely terrifying, the hull of the Death space carrier was almost full, and it was even more dark green in front of him, disgusting.
Mu Chen activated the automatic cleaning function, and soon the clear liquid flowed from the windshield in front of him, washing away the dark green slime.
Space fighters do not have this function, some fighters with destroyed anti-corrosion coatings are stained with this green slime, like dry wood in an open flame, quickly corroded into a ball of scrap metal, and the pilots inside can't even start the ejection system, and the mucus corrodes the escape hatch.
Mu Chen controlled the rickety Death and dropped a small directional nuclear bomb on the body of the flying centipede, this nuclear bomb is not radioactive, but it can generate huge heat, it is an upgraded version of the high-temperature incendiary bomb, after hitting the flying centipede, it will cause an explosion, burning the reptile in a very short time.
"Made, I knew this thing was so easy to use, why did I waste so much energy?" Mu Chen looked at the flying centipede that had been burned to a pulp in a short period of time, and couldn't help but muttered to himself.
"Two Dreadnoughts, you help me carry them for a while, and I'll go to the maintenance ship for a simple repair." Mu Chen said hello to the two Dreadnought motherships, and flew towards the Luban maintenance ship on the periphery of the battlefield.
