Chapter 32: The Destruction of the Fleet
"General, they sent a shuttle, and Major General Huang Wu plans to come and see him in person."
"Oh, I didn't expect this Huang Wu to be quite sensible, much stronger than his brother Huang Wei." Shen Shan smiled.
This is the first time in a few days that Shen Shan has shown a smile, and everyone has become relaxed when they see it, and they have echoed it and started a little joke.
"How long will it take for the Warhorse Galaxy's fleet to enter the queue?" Shen Shan asked.
"At the moment they are slowing down, and they will be fully in the queue in about an hour."
"Very well, when they are in the ranks, they will immediately count the number of people and equipment in the fleet, and then report to me."
"Understood, General!"
A white shuttle soon came to the middle of the 7th Fleet, and compared to the giant ships around it, the shuttle was like an inconspicuous flying insect, shuttling freely between the huge ships.
After passing one ship after another, the shuttle finally approached the core of the entire fleet, and an exceptionally large red battleship appeared in front of it, which was the flagship of Shendan, the Yanlong.
As the flagship of the entire fleet, the Yanlong is usually at the very center of the entire queue, and the other ships are guarded around the flagship to prevent the flagship from being the first to be attacked.
To get close to the flagship, the shuttle inevitably had to pass through the gaps of many ships to arrive.
Shen Dan and the others had already seen the shuttle through the screen, and Shen Dan ordered: "Tao Ji, you take someone to greet you, don't let General Huang Wu think that we are rude." ”
"Okay, I'll go right away." Tao Ji agreed, took a few officers and left the bridge, and then got into the transport vehicle used in the ship and drove to the designated hatch.
Shen Shan turned his head and looked at the shuttle on the big screen, and began to think about how to appease and win over Huang Wu.
At this time, I saw that the shuttle had turned off its engine and was heading towards the Yanlong by inertia. The operator on board the Yanlong has already signaled the towing to the shuttle, and when the driver on the shuttle releases his authority, the operator can directly control the shuttle and guide it accurately into the tarmac.
"Shuttle, please answer, please release the guidance authority. Shuttle, please answer ......" The operator on the Yanlong shouted several times, but the shuttle never responded.
"What's going on? Having problems with communication? Feed! Feed! Hey...... "Despite the operator's efforts, there was no response from the shuttle.
At this time, even Shen Dan and the others on the bridge found that something was wrong, and there was no response from the shuttle, and if it continued like this, the shuttle would directly collide with the Yanlong.
"Send someone right away to see what's going on? Is the shuttle out of order? Shen Shan ordered.
The captain of the Yanlong hurriedly ordered: "The mecha on standby will attack immediately, stop the shuttle, don't let it crash into the Yanlong, immediately!" ”
The mecha unit that received the order immediately sent two mechs to fly towards the shuttle one on the left and one on the right, intending to intercept it directly.
At this moment, all the screens in the bridge began to flicker, and the image suddenly became distorted and blurry, and then there was a flash of light, and all the screens turned black.
What surprised everyone even more was that not only did the various display screens go wrong, but the indicator lights of almost all instruments and equipment began to flash irregularly, followed by a piercing noise coming from the communicator, making everyone cover their ears.
"What's going on?" Shen Shan asked in surprise.
Seeing this, the captain hurriedly rushed to the console, pressed the button with his hand a few times, and then no matter which button did not respond, all kinds of machines became abnormal.
At this time, someone said: "The communication equipment is all out of order, and the system is down!" ”
"There's a problem on my side, too!"
"It's the same here, it's all out of order!"
Shen Shan suddenly realized that it was not good, stood up abruptly and said, "Not good! It's a super magnetic storm! With that, he hurried to the porthole and looked around, only to see that the lights of the other ships had been extinguished, and the whole fleet was plunged into darkness.
At this moment, the lights in the bridge also suddenly went out, but the emergency lights soon came on, and everyone seemed to smell a trace of blood on the red light.
"Shuttle! There's a magnetic storm bomb on the shuttle! Someone exclaimed.
At this time, Shen Shan had already realized that the danger was approaching, but due to the impact of the magnetic storm bomb, the various equipment on the ship was now in an abnormal state, and even if he wanted to take action, he could not do it.
"We've been fooled! This is Huang Wu's conspiracy! ”
What will happen next, needless to say, everyone can guess, Huang Wu's fleet will attack immediately, and the 7th fleet at this time is a group of live targets that will not move, and they can only be slaughtered by others.
At this time, Shen Dan's heart was full of remorse, and he said in his heart: "How could I believe Huang Wu, obviously his brother is Huang Wei......"
In normal times, it is difficult for a weapon like a magnetic storm bomb to cause damage to the fleet, as long as the fleet opens up the radiation field of defense, weapons such as magnetic storm bombs are basically ineffective.
However, no one in the 7th Fleet, including Shen Dan himself, thought that Huang Wu would launch a sneak attack, and this time the entire fleet was interfered by strong electromagnetic waves, causing the equipment to enter a bad situation where it could not be used normally.
"How long will it take for the system to get back to normal?" Shen Shan asked anxiously.
The captain wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "It will take about ten minutes." ”
"Ten minutes...... Everyone ...... quickly" Before Shen Dan's words were finished, a dazzling fire appeared outside the porthole, and everyone had to quickly cover their eyes with their hands.
Immediately, the entire bridge shook, like a boat bobbing in the wind and waves.
Many people fell to the ground, including Shen Dan, and his head hit something so hard that he felt dizzy, and the scene in front of him seemed to be spinning rapidly.
Soon another dazzling light came in, and the huge hull shook again, and everyone was thrown to the ground, and the screams resounded across the bridge.
As the safest bridge of the whole ship, this is not the case, let alone other places, especially those who are in the maintenance cabin, the violent shaking instantly turned the cabin upside down, all kinds of machinery and equipment and countless parts and tools flew around, and the slightest touch could kill them.
A mecha that was about to be put on the shelves for maintenance had not had time to fix it, and it was shaken and fell down, "Boom! With a loud bang, it slammed into the floor, and the various lines that had been torn off flew around with electric sparks, igniting the leaking engine oil.
With a "bang", the flames quickly spread all over the maintenance room, and many people were instantly engulfed by the fire, and the screams echoed in the repair cabin.
However, compared to the other warships, the Yanlong was in the best situation, after all, there were many ships guarding it around it, blocking most of its attacks.
The ships on the periphery of the fleet bore the brunt of the blows from the Warhorse Fleet, and the beams of particle cannons shot at these ships, destroying the unprepared ships one by one.
The huge shock wave from the explosion affected other ships, and many ships collided with each other and caused huge casualties, and the entire 7th Fleet became extremely chaotic.
However, the impact of the magnetic storm was not permanent after all, and the systems of some ships gradually returned to normal, so they immediately opened their defenses and turned around to launch a counterattack.
Originally, the 7th Fleet had an absolute numerical superiority, but in the previous battle, nearly half of the ships were damaged to varying degrees, and Huang Wu's fleet was unprepared for the attack, and the 7th Fleet was completely suppressed at once.
Both sides exerted all their strength, desperately beckoning each other with all kinds of weapons, and the intensity of the battle has reached a fever pitch.
As time passed, the number of the 7th Fleet was gradually decreasing, and the flagship of the Shenshan was finally revealed, becoming one of the battleships at the forefront.
"Concentrate your firepower and sink the opponent's flagship!" Huang Wu ordered in a loud voice.
A dense salvo immediately headed towards the Yanlong, although the Yanlong had already opened the defensive field at this time, but the defensive field could not withstand such a dense attack at the same time, only to see a series of explosions on the Yanlong, and the hull of the ship suddenly became full of devastation.
The violent explosion shook the inside of the ship, and even the bridge became extremely chaotic. Shen Dan fell to the ground in the earthquake, and was hit on his forehead by something unknown, and his face was covered in blood.
The officers around him desperately tried to help him up and go to the nearest lifeboat, but at this time, the Yanlong would definitely not be able to save it, so he had to escape quickly.
However, Shen Shan waved his hand and refused the help of others, panting and saying, "Don't ...... Forget...... Leave me alone...... Run away......"
"If the general doesn't leave, how can we escape by ourselves! General, come with us! ”
"No...... No need...... I...... Yes, there is...... You guys go ......."
Everyone tried to persuade them repeatedly, but Shen Shan was unmoved, and only told the others to escape quickly. Everyone saw that Shen Dan had made up their final decision, and they knew that no matter how much they persuaded them, they already knew Shen Tanning's unbending temper.
"You ...... Run...... Go back to the imperial capital...... Tell ......" As soon as Shen Dan said this, another violent explosion sounded, and a hot air rushed into the bridge, and everyone hurriedly fell to the ground.
"It's on fire! Run! I don't know who shouted, but everyone looked up and saw that a flame had rushed in along the pipeline overhead.
In the firelight, everyone finally looked at Shen Dan, only to see Shen Dan looking at everyone with a firm gaze, nodding slightly, everyone understood, so they had to grit their teeth, hold back the tears in their eyes, and run towards the escape pod closest to the bridge.
Shen Dan sat on the floor, watching everyone's backs disappear into the firelight, when he took out a small syringe from his sleeve, pulled off the top cover, and stabbed himself in the heart.
