Chapter 29: Cosmic War (1)
Looking at the battle in New York City below, it was almost over, but in fact, for Li Nan and them, the real battle had just begun.
Li Nan didn't care about the battle on the ground at all, because there was no suspense at all. And the real meat drama is the battle in the universe. If you follow the plot, you just need to block the exit of the portal, then take back Loki's scepter, and finally use the scepter to close the portal.
But since Li Nan intervened, then the matter would not end like this, this time Li Nan came to the Marvel world specifically to officially fight the Kitari people in space.
After all, Li Nan's ship mother has no experience in fighting in the universe at all, among which Sebros and Arden's spear are better, after all, they are the warships of the star spirits, and they still have enough information for space operations.
And Nova, as an engineering ship, her ontology's combat effectiveness is actually not strong, but she has a full set of Tyranid Empire technology, and battlecruisers can also be produced quickly. In addition, during the time she followed Li Nan, she cracked a lot of technology, and her technology tree has been updated many times, so she still has a certain amount of cosmic combat ability.
As for Kunming and Tian Yuan, the positioning of the two ship mothers is high-level combat power in the atmosphere, so they can ignore the matter of space combat for the time being. After all, they are not space warships that fight against space, but ships that specialize in fighting in the atmosphere.
And this battle is mainly for Dingyuan to gain some experience in space combat. After all, although it has been transformed into a Gorgong-class battlecruiser, it is also transformed as a blueprint of the White Star, the general flagship of the Empire.
But Dingyuan's original foundation was just a sea ship before World War I, and after transformation, it became a space warship, but after all, it was just a sea ship, so there was no information about space operations at all.
And soon he will have to fight with Emon's Void Fleet, if Dingyuan fights this powerful fleet without experience, then he may be defeated because he is not suitable for the battlefield.
In the battle at that time, Li Nan estimated that Dingyuan was the main force in the battle. Because the two Star Spirit Ships are too powerful, even if they reach level 50, Sebros can only summon a third of the hull, not to mention summoning the hull.
And don't think about the spear of Arden, as the strongest ark of the star spirit, it is only a dozen levels now, and now her only combat power is to be able to provide some combat power stored in her, of course, it is also limited by the number of battle elves. As for the ship's outfit, I'm sorry, the Arden's Spear hasn't even been able to convert into a ship's outfit right now.
Therefore, these two ship girls are only able to take the route of the riot flow for the time being. Sebroth was already able to summon all kinds of astral warships, but the spear of Arden could not even summon all the combat units in his body.
As the hatch opened, Dingyuan walked from the battleship to the platform where the armored infantry was stationed, and then handed over the command of these battleships to Nova who was inside.
Taking advantage of the fact that a group of enemies had just been eliminated, and there were no enemies on the other side of the portal, Dingyuan, who had already summoned the ship's outfit, rose from the platform and rushed into the sky under the impetus of the jet engine on the fixed waist, turning into a white light and quickly passing through the portal.
Coming out of the other side of the portal, it was a boundless cosmic space. After passing through the portal, Dingyuan has been transformed from a humanoid ship girl form to a complete hull form, which is the first time that Dingyuan has completely projected the hull after the transformation.
On the other side of the portal, the Kitari soldiers and the Great Kun with solo aircraft were gathered near the portal, waiting in line to teleport. And at the moment when Dingyuan rushed out of the portal, the huge hull suddenly appeared in front of the portal.
After many transformations, the hull of Dingyuan at this time is much larger than the original hull of the White Star. The length of the battleship's hull is 20 kilometers, and the width of the hull is 18 kilometers at its widest point, which is four times larger than that of the White Star.
At this time, the size of Dingyuan's ship was already much larger than that of the alien Leviathan, even compared to the Mother Ship of the Star Spirit Clan, it was only a circle.
When the hull was revealed, Dingyuan opened the shield of the battleship at the same time. The Kitari troops gathered near the portal collided with Dingyuan's hull the moment they unfolded their hull, and then were violently impacted outside Dingyuan's shield and turned into a ball of fire.
In the next moment, hundreds of beams of light shot towards the hull of the Dingyuan, which suddenly appeared. Li Nan was not the only one who could block the door, and when the five battlecruisers appeared at the exit of the portal on Earth, the Kitari had already defended the portal on their side.
Nearly a thousand auto-defense turrets were placed a hundred kilometers away from the portal, all of which were aimed at the portal, and if something that was not a Kitari came out of the portal, they would attack it as soon as possible.
At the moment when a large number of beams hit the shield, there were silent ripples on the shield, but the shield still successfully resisted all the beams.
"Defend the laser cannon group, let's fight back." Dingyuan was standing in the empty bridge and said to himself. As a ship mother, as long as she can project her own hull, then she can control the hull of the entire battleship freely.
As Dingyuan spoke, a number of turrets rose in the hull of the Dingyuan, and these batteries were all triple small-caliber laser cannons. It can be regarded as a defensive weapon on the Dingyuan, after all, it is only against some automatic defense guns, and there is no need to use large-caliber turrets at all.
The batteries then quickly shifted their positions, aiming at the Kitari defensive batteries. When the second wave of beams was fired from the turrets of the Kitari, the turrets on the Dingyuan also shot out beams of light. The beams collided with the Kitari turret's attack, and both beams canceled each other out.
However, the Dingyuan's turret was obviously a little faster than the Chitari's turret, and while the Chitari's turret was still cooling, the Dingyuan's laser cannon crew had already fired a second wave of beams.
In the next second, the defensive turrets that had been thrown by the Kitari were instantly pierced by the beam, and then these turrets exploded one after another, turning into fireballs.
At this time, I also saw the environment on this side of the portal, and the situation here was not the same as the scene I saw through that small portal. Except for a small number of large kun transports, there is only one mothership.
But Li Nan found out through Dingyuan's vision that he was completely deceived. It is true that the enemy only has one mothership, but there is a huge space fortress behind the mothership. From the outside, there were at least a dozen huge warships docked in the huge starport, and the number of small warships was even more.
When the hull of the Dingyuan appeared in space, the warships docked in the starport had already left the port one after another, and quickly surrounded this side.
He Dingyuan was not frightened by the opponent's formation, and quickly cleaned up the fixed forts for the defense, as well as those Kitari soldiers and Da Kun who had slipped through the net, these cannon fodder units of the enemy, scattered around the number were not many, and most of them were concentrated near the portal, which was convenient to pass through the portal.
When Dingyuan first appeared, nearly seventy percent of these cannon fodder were destroyed, and the rest were also used by Dingyuan to use close defense artillery in a short period of time.
Now, in the space of the portal, there is no trace of the enemy at all. After doing all this, Dingyuan opened his own subspace and quickly launched the battlecruisers stored in the subspace.
Soon, a total of 55 warships and warships were launched by Dingyuan. Among them, 1 Golgong-class battlecruiser and 10 standard battlecruisers are in one formation, a total of 5 formations.
The warships of these formations, for Dingyuan, are equivalent to carrier-based aircraft carriers, and they are acting as frigates in Dingyuan at this time. And the one who controls these fleets is the battle goblins of Dingyuan.
After these warships were launched, they quickly set up a dense formation to protect Dingyuan in the middle. Although it is said to be a dense formation, in fact, the distance between the battleships is still very wide, at least it can ensure that its own artillery fire will not accidentally injure its own people, at least there are no friendly troops in the attack range of the main and secondary guns.
Then, these frigates also released the carrier-based aircraft in the battleships, and the number of carrier-based aircraft released by ordinary standard battlecruisers was 500, while the number of carrier-based aircraft released by the Goregong-class battlecruisers was 2,000.
It's not that there aren't more fighters, but this number is the maximum within Dingyuan's control. As the battle goblins of the ship's mother, they have the ability to act alone, and they can also control the battleships and fighters on their own.
But in this case, they can't bring out their best abilities, and fighting separately is the best explanation for their state.
Only under the coordination and control of the ship mother, these battle goblins can give full play to their maximum ability, coordinate the operation, and the formation or something needs to be controlled by the ship mother.
But in addition to controlling their own ships, the ship's mothers also have to finely control the operations of these battle goblins, so that they can't control too large a force at once.
And beyond this maximum value, it's not impossible, but in this case, it will lead to a great weakening of the ship's control over the fleet, although the number is more, but the combat effectiveness may not be able to improve.
And this time, as his first cosmic war, Dingyuan showed his strongest strength at the beginning. Beiyang Naval Division, where Dingyuan once belonged, and she also used this name to name her fleet.
And most of these carrier-based aircraft are modified Wraith fighters, which have been specially modified for space operations. And the weapons have also been replaced with 3 small beam cannons, as for weapons such as missiles, they actually do not play a big role in the universe, because the speed is too slow compared to beam weapons, and the propulsion speed of these live weapons is too slow, and they will only be used in certain situations. For example, when beam weapons are limited or ineffective.
At this time, the troops of both sides had also completed their respective formations, and then the vanguard troops advanced towards each other.
Compared with the small planes with a body length of about 10 meters on Li Nan's side, the main fighting machines of the Kitari people are still those biological weapons and large kun that fly the aircraft.
However, it is different from those who enter the earth. For example, the flying machines were not single-handed, but small three-person flying machines, and in addition to the Kitari soldiers who operated the flying machines, there were two soldiers in the rear, each controlling a fixed beam gun.
The armor of those big kuns has also been modified, and the biggest difference is that more than a dozen beam guns are installed on each side of the body, and those beam guns are also controlled by Kitari soldiers. At the same time, there is also a main gun on the head armor of the big kun, which is a large-caliber beam cannon, which is obviously used for ships.
And the reason why these things are not in the troops that enter the earth shows that these are beam weapons that are not suitable for use in the atmosphere, but there is no such restriction in space.
As for the legendary humanoid armor, such as the Gundam and the like. That kind of flashy thing is simply impossible to appear on the battlefield of actual combat. Of course, if it is used to play handsome, people who are not afraid of death can try it. Because compared to airplanes, the practicality and maneuverability of this humanoid armor are too poor.
At this time, Dingyuan had already pressed all the troops in the direction of the enemy. First of all, the fastest are the carrier-based aircraft, which have a total of 35,000 units. And the enemy's cannon fodder is only about 200 big kun, and there are more than 8,000 flying machines.
Generally speaking, Dingyuan's side is more advantageous. Because at this time, the enemy is still just a mothership for the time being.
For the safety of the fortress in the rear, in fact, this portal is still far away from the fortress, and it will take a certain amount of time for their fleet to rush from the fortress.
Therefore, the Kitari sent a mothership not far from the portal to drop troops into the portal.
Therefore, Dingyuan just wants to solve this lone mothership before the enemy's rear troops converge with this mothership. You must know that this ship is just a weak chicken that was solved by a nuclear bomb in the original plot.
And the Kitari had apparently discovered Dingyuan's intentions, and they had the same intentions. Because they knew that they would be the enemy's key targets, the cannon fodder units they sent did not care about the carrier-based aircraft groups in the front row at all, but intersected with them and went straight to the fleet in the rear.
These cannon fodder are just the enemy's combat weapons, and the real target is the fleet in the rear. Both sides have such a purpose, so they don't pay attention to the enemy's cannon fodder at all, and at the same time they are very confident in their own battleships.
