Chapter 130: Hidden Weapons
In the clouds below, the figure of Kazran's reinforcement fleet loomed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Zhou Xin's attention had been focused on the Kazlan defense line, which had been reduced a lot, he noticed it as soon as the shadows representing reinforcements appeared below. Looking at those little black spots, Zhou Xin said to himself thoughtfully: "Are the reinforcements finally here?" Could it be that the mothership has completed its charge? Well, it doesn't look like it in terms of time, is it a new weapon from Kazlan? While guessing, little by little, the black dots under the clouds changed into the shape of a battleship.
As soon as he saw the shape of the battleship, Zhou Xin's heart was slightly disappointed, because he was already familiar with that shape, and now there were hundreds of ships on the screen that were stubbornly resisting the enemy's attack. That's right, judging from the shape, the reinforcements coming from below are just ordinary warships, and there are not even special places.
However, Atlas's next reminder lifted Zhou Xin's mood a little, "Brother Captain, it's Kazran's stealth battleship." β
"Stealth battleship?" Zhou Xin thought about it and said, "Do you want to have another sneak attack?" β
"Now, the sneak attack doesn't change anything." Dart continued, "At most, it's just a matter of relieving the pressure on the front." Andβ" Dart glanced at the stealth warships that were flying towards the battle line, and a worried look on his face, "And with such a few warships, it is still a question of whether their sneak attack will be successful." β
At this time, there were no new black spots under the clouds, and the shadows that appeared in front of everyone were still sparse, and it was not necessary to count them to know that the number of battleships was not much.
Zhou Xin frowned and looked at those so-called "reinforcement fleets", and said with a tone of serious doubt: "Indeed, this is a little too little, Atlas, are they more than fifty?" Could it be that the number of stealth warships has not been replenished since the last sneak attack? Also, it is estimated that the Kazlan side has been in a hurry to build ordinary warships in the past few days, and there should be no time to build stealth warships. β
"Brother Captain, there are only forty-three." Atlas gives accurate data.
"What's the use of just a few stealth warships?" Spred also said with disbelief, "Could it be that the Kazrans believe that they alone can turn the tide of the war?" β
"It's more likely that they don't have any other forces to send, so they can only send out the only stealth warships they have at hand." Dart's ideas are decidedly more pessimistic. Regardless, everyone in the command deck didn't believe that the reinforcements below could really change the tide of battle, believing that it was just a last-ditch effort by the Kazran side.
However, the next move to reinforce the battleship surprised Zhou Xin and them. They did not attempt to go around the rear of the Eun's fleet as they had done in the previous sneak attack, but stopped on the inside of the line after flying to the same height as the Kazlan Line. The next few minutes passed, and the stopped stealth ships stopped making any moves, but watched like spectators as their comrades in front of them were crushed by twice their number of opponents. At the same time, the Kazrans continued to shrink their defensive lines, and the broken ring they had seen before was gradually coming together.
For the next few minutes, the stealth ships did not make any attack except for a slight change in direction of some of them, and everyone in the command deck began to wonder if they were actually reinforcing the fleet. However, just when everyone's eyes were all focused on those dozens of warships, no one noticed that the Kazlan battleships on the front line began to change their orientation, slowly changing from front-facing outwards to side-facing outwards.
"Are they really not reinforcements, but warlords?" After watching it for so long, Dart finally couldn't help but blurt out.
"No, it won't." Zhou Xin replied, "Do you still want to escape at this time?" Don't they know that if they run away this time, then there will be no country in the future? β
"And they-" Just as Spred was about to say why they had been slow to act, suddenly the stealth ships began to attack the rear of the Kazran front. As you can see, their attacks were not violent, each warship only fired dozens of missile-type ammunition, and after this attack, they stopped moving again. However, no one found that the size of these "missiles" launched from stealth warships was much larger than the size of the conventional ammunition used by the Kazlan warships, almost four or five times the size of the latter. However, despite their size, these missiles were not slow, and they reached the front line of fierce fighting in just over a minute.
To Zhou Xin's surprise, the reaction of the battleships that were fighting on the front line, at the moment when the stealth battleship attacked, it was as if they had suddenly encountered something terrible, they actually turned around and began to flee as quickly as possible, completely ignoring the Ewen battleships that were still violently attacking them behind them, and some of the battleships even crashed directly into the beams flying sideways on the battlefield because of their hurried U-turns. But even then, they didn't care, and continued to retreat at high speed in the face of smoke and fire, and the entire remaining fleet fled the front line of fierce fighting like a crowd of fleeing people. The fleet, which had been stubbornly resisting, completely changed its appearance at this moment.
"What's going on?" Everything that happened suddenly made Zhou Xin not understand what was going on at all, and he couldn't help blurting out. However, no one could answer his question at this time, because everyone in the command cabin was shocked by the actions of the Kazran fleet at this moment, and no one knew what was happening.
However, it didn't take long for the unusual move of the Kazlan fleet to be justified. The missile launched from the stealth warship more than a minute ago exploded in the direction of the Eun's fleet after passing through the fleeing Kazlan fleet, not far behind them.
At this moment, Zhou Xin and the others were still immersed in the previous amazement, and they didn't think at all about how powerful the special missiles launched by those stealth warships were. By the time they reacted, there was the bright band left on the screen, and the band was so bright that everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.
At the same time as the bright light erupted, the Voyager's siren also sounded in the command cabin, "Warning, warning, a high-energy ray burst at an extremely close range has been detected, and the ship is turning on the protection, the ship is turning on the protection." "At the same time as the warning sounded, the windows in the command cabin for direct observation of the outside world were also blocked by the deck. The alert was repeated twice before changing the content, "Warning, a shockwave is coming, please be prepared for the shock." Hearing this, those people who were still standing in the command cabin sat down instantly, and everyone, including Zhou Xin, clutched the seats under them. The second warning sounded, the shockwave collided with the Voyager. However, this time the impact was not as violent as Zhou Xin imagined, just like the shaking of the boat. After more than a dozen seconds, the shaking stopped, and the Voyager's warning sound stopped.
After a few minutes of chaos, calm finally returned to the command module, and Zhou Xin, who had come back to his senses, finally had time to figure out what had just happened, "Voyager, how could it suddenly detect a high-energy ray burst?" As soon as he exited, he thought of the attack a few minutes ago, "Could it be the attack of the stealth battleship before?" β
"It's the explosion from before." The Voyager confirmed Zhou's thoughts.
"Nuclear weapons?" Zhou Xin thought of this for the first time.
"It's a type of nuclear weapon." Atlas added, "Actually, the weapons they use are something we saw not long ago. β
"Just met?" Zhou Xin recalled for a while, and then asked the letter suspiciously, "Could it be the asteroid explosion before?" β
"That's right." The little girl replied, "The same explosion from neutron matter." β
Hearing this answer, Zhou Xin still didn't react, "Hasn't the previous asteroid been determined to be Kazran's nuclear experiment base?" Aren't they all destroyed, where did they get the neutron matter? Then he understood, "Could it be that they have a similar base hidden in their own homeland?" As he said this, his words revealed excitement that could not be concealed.
"Now it seems that this is a very likely." Dart replied thoughtfully, "Of course, there is also the possibility that the laboratory does not exist, and that these neutron substances are stored by them just in case. β
"In any case, at least it shows that the Republic of Kazlan still has a certain amount of neutron material stored today, and that is enough." Spred happily answered.
"I just don't know if they'll be consumed in the next battle." Dart turned his gaze back to the battlefield on the screen. At this time, the bright light that had been shining in the previous picture had gradually dimmed, and the entire battlefield once again appeared in front of everyone. Hearing this, everyone in the command cabin also focused their eyes on the screen again.
At this moment, the battlefield that was originally full of war has long been completely calm. The Kazlan battleship, which had been fleeing rapidly until the explosion, had stopped at this time, and even secretly changed direction and turned its bow to the Ewen fleet when Zhou Xin and the others didn't see it. If you look closely, you can also find that even if the "neutron bomb" began to flee as soon as it was launched, the Kazlan fleet was inevitably affected by the explosion, and the tail of many warships, especially the engine vents, were more or less damaged by the high temperature and shock waves, and some warships whose power systems were damaged in the previous battles were directly killed in the explosion. Therefore, the remnants of the Kazlan fleet on the screen now looked a little miserable, somewhat similar to the Community fleet that Zhou Xin and the others had seen before.
Look at the Eun fleet, like the Kazlan fleet, they all stopped at this moment, and the heavy artillery fire they had seen before disappeared without a trace. In the front part of the fleet, most of the front-row battleships were affected by the explosion, and there were serious distortions, and some of them could not even see the shape of the original battleships at all. Continuing outward, behind the wreckage of the battleship, which was no longer completely disfigured, were some warships with slightly deformed heads, but the whole was still relatively intact. Then there were the ships that were only affected by the aftermath, and on the surface there was no damage, but this was only a small part of the fleet.
"Huh?" The moment he saw the Eun's fleet, Spred suddenly wondered, "Look, is the Eun's fleet retreating?" How did they manage to retreat so far in such a short time? Hearing his question, many people in the command cabin also showed puzzled expressions.
After a while, Dart was the first to react, and then, Zhou Xin thought for a while and understood. Sighing in his heart for those Eun people, Zhou Xin replied, "It's not that the Ewen fleet has retreated, but that all the battleships near the location of the explosion have disappeared in the previous explosion. β
While Zhou Xin answered, Atlas also pulled the probe's lens closer. At this time, everyone finally saw that in the empty space between the two fleets, a large number of irregular fragments were flying in all directions. Moreover, most of the debris was concentrated on this side of the fleet near Eun. When the camera focuses on the area near the center of the explosion marked by Atlas, not even the tiny fragments are visible.
"It's so powerful." After carefully observing the battlefield, Dart frowned and analyzed, "The ray power of the Kazlan mothership is almost comparable, but I didn't expect that they would not be willing to show this weapon until this time." β
"I really didn't expect that they would be able to hide." Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "In the previous battle, no matter how critical the situation was, they only dispatched a few motherships to relieve the siege at most. Now that I think about it, if they had used this weapon at that time, the effect would have been much better than that of the mothership. β
"The only explanation, I'm afraid, is that the Kazlans didn't want to expose the existence of this weapon at the time." Dart replied, "If it weren't for the sudden change of tactics of the Eun, leaving the Kazlans without retreat, perhaps they would still be fighting as they did before, and would not have exposed this weapon to the Eun." β
"But now they've been forced to expose it." After listening to Dart's analysis, Zhou Xin turned his gaze back to the battlefield on the screen, "Then, it depends on how the Ewen people will deal with it next......
