Chapter 36—Going to Danger
"What are we doing here?" Erich had never experienced anything like this.
"Of course, I went to the enemy line to observe it." Zhang Chuanlan said with a smile, as he spoke, he pressed a few buttons on the console, and the spacecraft became optically invisible, "I want to personally test the attack capability of the Davian fleet." ”
Erich knows this isn't the first time he's done this. Although he knew that Zhang Chuanlan was calm and calm, he still felt that Zhang Chuanlan was crazy at this time. As a German soldier, he could not understand Zhang Chuanlan's chivalrous and heroic spirit of the Oriental, and he believed that the commander should stay firmly in the position of commander in the rear and sit in the headquarters.
"Davian! You're surrounded by me! After all, Zhang Chuanlan is young and vigorous, and he is trying to establish communication with the Davian battleship. In fact, he himself did not hold out any hope of being able to contact Davian. Because the Davian does not use electromagnetic waves to communicate, the Commander Whirlwind does not have a Davian translation function at all.
It only takes a minute for the Commander Tornado's reflex device to be charged, and its conventional propulsion system is faster than any spacecraft on Earth, so Zhang Chuanlan naturally has his reasons for daring to be so arrogant.
"One, two, three, four...... Enemy ships come in four colors. "The Commander Whirlwind has approached a fairly close distance, and Zhang Chuanlan is carefully observing the Davian battleship." Obsidian, turquoise, yellow sand, emerald. Sure enough, it was these four colors. As I expected, each of Davion's vassal states had their own warships. ”
"You don't have to expect it, the information from Christina says." Erich complained ruthlessly, "You haven't read the information she sent, have you?" ”
"Uh......" Zhang Chuanlan was quite complacent just now, and was a little embarrassed at this time, "It's okay, we will definitely get new information." ”
"Here, let me see how their defenses are." As he spoke, he pressed the laser cannon fire button.
The Commander Tornado is used as a commander's vehicle to keep the commander in a safe position at all times, so mobility and safety are its strengths. Its small hull doesn't carry much firepower, just two laser guns and a 150mm electromagnetic gun.
Two lasers hit the Obsidian battleship's shell, as if it had disappeared, leaving no trace.
As mentioned earlier, obsidian, a specialty of obsidian, can absorb waves of any wavelength and convert them into electricity. Zhang Chuanlan: These two lasers provided some charge to the Obsidian battleship at best. And the obsidian soldiers in the battleship did not notice anything unusual, so they did not react in any way.
"This ...... It's strange," Zhang Chuanlan scratched his head, "What's going on?" ”
"The enemy seems to be ignoring us, let's try to hit the blue one again."
Zhang Chuanlan shot several lasers at each color battleship, but there was still no effect, and the enemy did not react at all. Davion's fleet floated silently in space as if all had died suddenly.
"They don't take me seriously." Zhang Chuanlan looked at Erich and felt a little frustrated, "What do you mean, ignore me." ”
"Now that we're all here, let's get closer and take a closer look at what the laser looks like." Erich calmly calculated the risks and benefits, and instead advised Zhang Chuanlan to come closer.
The Commander Whirlwind released several camera drones and approached the Davian battleship first. They sat in front of the console and looked at the blue battleship on the screen as if it was made of some kind of crystal, and a small pit appeared when the laser hit it, and soon the right became as smooth as ever. Erich took out his notebook and wrote down what he saw in his operational notes.
"What is this, self-repairing armor, it seems that the enemy's technological level is not so bad." Zhang Chuanlan nodded approvingly, even forgetting that they were enemies. Earth's fleet uses nanobot-layered composite alloy armor that can be repaired completely unless it is directly penetrated and the projectile remains in the armor.
The laser hit the Yellow Sand battleship, burning spots one after another. These ships look as if they have somehow been made out of dry sand in the shape of battleships. It appears that its elemental composition is the same as that of the earth's sand, and the laser seems to burn out the glass. It does not appear that the use of ultra-high-power lasers will not cause effective harm. Erich shook his head, as if he felt that the principle was too simple to be worth it. Still, he made a note of the discovery.
What happened to the Emerald Battleship was even more bizarre. The speed of light in this green jade-like thing seemed to be small, and the laser hit it and made the entire battleship a little brighter, and slowly returned to its original shape. Although this change is not visible to the naked eye, it is only discovered using image chromatic aberration analysis. It appears that this green substance has an extremely high scattering rate of light, dispersing the energy of the laser into every part of the shell.
Zhang Chuanlan looked at the warships, and the laser weapons didn't seem to be of much use to them. No wonder they didn't react. However, there are also kinetic weapons on the Commander Whirlwind, although the caliber of 150mm is a bit small, but it is better than nothing.
A high-speed projectile was shot, and Zhang Chuanlan suddenly regretted it a little. This will alarm the enemy fleet anyway. The projectile pierced a small hole in the Emerald Battleship in an instant, and although the explosion could not be heard, smoke came out of the small hole, which seemed to have an effect.
Zhang Chuanlan slapped the button, the engine of the spaceship was quickly increased to full power, he poked Erich, who was still looking down at his notes, and said with a smile: "The exciting part is here, let's go." ”
The King of the Sands, the Obsidian Empire's Grand General Teremgar, is training troops aboard the Obsidian flagship Blackstone. Although he was forced to merge into the Obsidian Legion and had to command the battle on the Obsidian battleship, it was much more comfortable than staying in the Obsidian Palace. His obsidian soldiers didn't seem to want to listen to him, and he knew that if he had a conflict with Nethrian, they would never listen to him, the general. He sighed and continued to wave his claw-like hand to direct the formation.
Suddenly, a voice drilled into his brain, and it could only be the spiritual connection of the Emerald Mage. "The Emerald fleet is under attack." The voice said softly, as if the attack was not violent, because it sounded unflustered. The Emerald Battleship will use protective magic to enhance its hardness during combat, and because they are anchored above their planet at this time, they did not expect to be attacked, so they will be penetrated by Zhang Chuanlan with a small-caliber electromagnetic cannon. But there was nothing to panic about, and the ship's mage blocked the small hole with a spell.
Teremga looked up, the other three kings were in Obsidian's palace, saying that this was the case, but in fact, Karré and Isna were equivalent to being placed under house arrest. Despite not liking the Obsidian King, he represents Davion's dignity here and does not tolerate any provocations.
He ordered a search for the barrier, and soon spotted the Commander Whirlwind. He was furious that such a small spaceship would dare to fly into Davion's hinterland. His violent temperament prevented him from seriously speculating on the intentions of such a ship. Just destroy it, and Teremga orders the entire ship to open fire.
The various stones and crystals blessed by magic emitted dense energy projectiles, flying towards the Commander Whirlwind like a torrential rain. Zhang Chuanlan calmly watched as the nearest energy projectile swept through the porthole, and at the same time controlled the joystick to dodge all attacks.
"How about trying the firepower of enemy weapons?" Zhang Chuanlan actually had time to look at Erich and speak, "Looking at this kind of firepower density, it is estimated that the power will not be very high." ”
Erich was staring at the image from the rear of the spacecraft on the monitor, helping Zhang Chuanlan with the operation. He didn't take his eyes off the screen and said calmly: "It's better not to, it's not wise to do this." The benefits are too low, the risks are too high. ”
The Commander Whirlwind sped over Obsidian, with an entire fleet chasing after it. The firepower poured by Davian's fleet was enough to exterminate the ants on a planet, and I don't know if Zhang Chuanlan's piloting skills were excellent or if he was lucky enough, the Commander Whirlwind still miraculously did not get shot. Dense pillars of light continued to pass near the ship, but the ship's reflexing mechanism had already been charged.
Zhang Chuanlan pressed the folding button, and at the same time, their good luck came to an end. A pillar of light finally hit the tail of the ship, and the jumping mechanism was completely extinguished.
