Chapter 160: Earth Spike!
After the second round of planetary engine cannon salvos, the entire Zetarian fleet had turned into an expanding cloud of metal, spreading through the universe.
The metal cloud was composed of the vapor formed by the high-temperature vaporization of a large number of Zetari warships from the plasma explosion, as well as a large amount of liquid metal fragments mixed with it.
In the metal cloud, the wreckage of the Zetarian warship continued to explode in collisions with liquid metal fragments, and the resulting firelight revealed the pale outline of the cloud again and again, like a gloomy face that appeared from time to time in the dark night. In between the firelight, the glow of metallic magma turns the clouds into a bloody sunset.
In the dead silence of the metal cloud, only one warship remained largely intact, and that was the Zetarian flagship, the Templar One.
Under the protection of more than 200 frigates and destroyers in the entire third platoon of the Zetarian fleet, the Templar One finally survived with great difficulty under two rounds of intensive artillery fire from the Wandering Earth.
Although it is said that it barely survived, Temple One is now scarred and on the verge of destruction.
The hull was littered with holes of various sizes, and only the area near the bridge was kept sealed by fire doors.
The engines of the entire battleship were completely shut down, and they did not dare to show the slightest sign of being able to move.
The Dead Blade General's strategy is obviously helpless, which is to let the Templar One hide in this cloud of metal, pretend to be the wreckage of the scrapped battleship by completely turning off the engine, and lure the Wandering Earth side to board the ship, or simply rely on playing dead to find a chance to escape.
If it is the former, there are two generals on the temple one, he and Proxima Centauri in the night, which will definitely give a little color to the boarding troops on the wandering earth.
Even at the last moment, he could activate the self-destruction device of Temple 1 and pull the enemy's boarding force to accompany the burial, which can be regarded as a way to die without losing face.
As for simply ignoring the matter, the Dead Blade General could only think about it, after all, the energy shield of Temple One was still open, and it could not be more conspicuous to continuously burst out sparks when it collided with the surrounding metal fragments.
Naturally, the command on the wandering earth also observed such a situation, and their initial judgment was the same as what the Death Blade General thought, is it a good time to board the ship?
However, Moss cautioned: "The ship's energy reactor is still overloaded and may explode at any time, so it is not recommended to board the ship at this time, which may lead to the total annihilation of the boarding force." ”
"So, or can you just keep your distance and blow it off?" Luo Feng pondered and said, "That's going to waste a lot of ammunition." ”
If there is anything missing from the super planetary fortress of The Wandering Earth, it is a powerful main artillery weapon that can correspond to the size of the Wandering Earth.
The firepower of 10,000 planetary engine cannons is terrifying, but after all, these are only secondary guns, which have good lethality against small warships such as frigates and destroyers, but when used to deal with large warships above cruisers, the power of a single shot is still not enough.
The main reason why Templar-1 survived was this, the plasma shells fired by the planetary engine cannon were only able to continuously consume the energy of its shield, and did not have the power to penetrate its shield with one or several shots.
In this way, the energy shield of Temple One can still be recharged and deployed from time to time, and only when the shield is about to be fatally hit, it can barely survive the baptism of 10,000 rings of the Spring Festival, as the last surviving Zetari warship to hide in the metal cloud.
Another round of fire to blow it off is not impossible, but it would be a bit of a waste of ammunition.
You must know that planetary engines can only be launched by consuming superconducting ores, and they are still non-renewable resources, of course, they hope to save and not over-consume them on the Temple One, which is close to paralysis.
The Ark is the first to take care of the Cosmic Cube on another Earth, preventing possible fish from slipping through the net and snatching the Cosmic Cube and running away.
At this moment, Qiao Lu suddenly interjected: "Although we don't have a main gun, don't we still have bayonets?" ”
Hearing him say this, Li Yiyi on the side suddenly shivered.
In fact, it wasn't just him, everyone else also thought about what Qiao Lu wanted to do.
Luo Feng also smiled slightly: "I knew you would say that." ”
Moss also calculated the result in an instant: "It is estimated that the use of a beam slash from the steering engine will reduce the consumption of superconducting ore by 73.2% compared to using the planetary engine cannon to force a shield breakdown, and this attack method is recommended." ”
At this time, in addition to actively turning off the engine to pretend to be scrapped, the metal cloud surrounding it also made it difficult to move an inch.
If it wants to move, it must use a high-energy laser to carve a way through the clouds, otherwise the constant impact of metal fragments will slow it down to an unacceptable level.
It can be said that the current Temple No. 1 is already a lamb to the slaughter, just waiting for the wandering earth to give it the final blow.
But Qiao Lu chose the most gorgeous way to die for it.
Earth Spike!
The Wandering Earth's steering engine started to turn the Earth, turning the Northern Hemisphere to the back, turning the 10,000 Earth cannons back into planetary engines, switching to ordinary ore fuel to accelerate the Wandering Earth, and crashing headlong into the metal cloud where Temple One was located.
The cloud of metal that would make it difficult for any starship to move is completely unhindered by the Wandering Earth, and in the face of the tremendous thrust provided by the planetary engines, the impact of small metal fragments is no longer enough to constitute much of a deceleration.
Therefore, even after crashing into the metal cloud, the forward momentum of the wandering earth did not weaken at all, but actively collided in the direction of the dense metal fragments, stuffing them all into the veins of the southern hemisphere.
This is also a way to collect space resources, and it is much more efficient than the space engineering team.
Qiao Lu once again drove the Wandering Earth, rampage through the metal clouds, and soon came to the vicinity of Temple One.
At this time, the Dead Blade General was still waiting for the arrival of the Wandering Earth boarding force, holding the controller of the detonating Templar No. 1 energy reactor tightly in his hand, ready to die with the enemy at any time.
However, after waiting for a long time, what appeared in front of him was not a small landing craft, but a whole wandering earth approaching him!
"What do they want to do!?"
Even the battle-hardened Death Blade General couldn't help but panic at the moment, he thought he had seen a lot of wind and waves, but he really hadn't seen this scene before!
The earth is directly riding on the face, what else can he do?
