Chapter 341: Planetary Airborne
Yu Yucheng smiled modestly and said, "Please, let's go to the bridge to talk." ”
After speaking, he led the way in front, and Xin Lonely followed his peers unhurriedly. Yu Xucheng was followed by two soldiers, both wearing silver-black armor, with their heads exposed, a man and a woman, with a small golden sword logo engraved on their chests, obviously both members of the Sky Sword Battle Band.
On the way, Yu Yucheng also introduced that the man of the two was his adjutant, and the woman was the deputy head of the Sky Sword.
Xin Lin nodded to the two, he had already probed each other with telepathy, and knew that these two had martial saint-level cultivation, especially the female martial saint named Constance, who cultivated the "Seven-Colored Stellar Flame", and the thermal energy force reached the realm of an intermediate martial saint, and her strength should not be underestimated.
"With such a strong cultivation, if you can be the deputy head of the Sword of the Firmament, your strength must be extremely strong, but it is not on the list of superheroes of the Federation, it should be deliberately hidden." Xin Lonely said secretly.
Half of the top powerhouses of the Federation are in the military, and many of them are low-key and unknown to outsiders, and it is understandable that the Super Energy Center has not exposed them.
Both of them were quite curious to observe Xin Lone, Constance was even more eager to try, both were martial saints who cultivated "Seven Colors Stellar Flame", she had long heard of Xin Lone's name, and now that she saw this first-day talent of the Federation with her own eyes, she couldn't hold back.
Xin Lin ignored her provocation and just spoke to Yu Yucheng.
According to Yu Yucheng, this planetary-class battleship is called the "Hidden Sword", which is his ship, and is now the flagship of the entire fleet.
As one of only a dozen planetary-class battleships in the Federation, the Tibetan Sword has a mass of more than 8 million tons, is 1,500 meters long, and is equipped with two ultra-high-power particle cannons as the main gun, as well as 18 heavy turbocharged laser cannons, 32 light point-fire laser cannons, more than 200 navigation launch tubes, and 1,200 warplanes.
The crew of the Tibetan Sword was as many as 2,000 people, and when they walked on the way to the bridge, the soldiers they met saluted Yu Yucheng, and then recognized Xin Lin and cast surprised glances.
Soon after, the group entered the spacious bridge, and Yu Yucheng waved to the operator to excuse himself, and then invited Xin Lin to watch in front of the battle table.
A hologram is projected, with a huge Xuanhuang star in the center, and two fleets in the planet's space orbit.
The two fleets are like satellites of the planet, orbiting it, and the distance between the two is stable at more than 20,000 kilometers, forming a state of confrontation.
With the technology of the Federation's steel-maned empire, the range of battleship artillery is usually not more than 10,000 kilometers, and the distance is more than 10,000 kilometers, and the energy beam will lose its lethality and accuracy due to diffusion and energy reduction, and missiles and fighters are even more out of reach, so the battlefield range when the two sides exchange fire is usually far less than 10,000 kilometers, within 1,000 to 8,000 kilometers.
The distance of several thousand kilometers allows missiles and fighters to be used.
In fact, even the stellar warships of the Galactic Empire will not have a range of more than two orders of magnitude from the Federation, reaching a distance of up to one-third of a light second, that is, 100,000 kilometers.
Yu Yucheng pointed to the fleet of the Steelmane Empire and said: "This is the fleet of the Mowei Clan, this clan has been fighting on the front line all year round, and its strength is among the best in the entire Steelmane Empire, their fleet is not large, but the battle is very high, so we don't dare to act rashly." ”
Xin Lin nodded slightly, the system of the Steelmane Empire is different from that of the Federation, the fleet and the legion are all based on clans, and they fight separately in peacetime, and they will unite multiple clans to fight together when needed.
He had long heard the name of the Movi clan, and anyone who knew anything about the history of the Federation knew about the existence of this powerful clan, and countless Federation soldiers had died at the hands of the Movi clan's fleet and legion, which could be described as a blood feud.
"At present, we and the Mowei clan are waiting, and before Xuanhuang Star decides who belongs, neither side will start a war lightly."
Yu Yucheng said with a heavy face: "The main fleet will not easily leave the front-line fortress, lest the front-line be empty and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. Once Xuanhuang Star has a result here, the backward side will not give up easily, and a big war will break out at any time, and we are fully prepared. ”
"The Xuanhuang Star has been the fuse of the war, affecting the course of the upcoming seventeenth large-scale battle, and even the rise and fall of the Federation and the Steelmane Empire."
"Therefore, we must take the Xuanhuang Star at all costs."
Speaking of the back, Yu Xucheng's face was already full of seriousness, and there was a resolute light in his eyes. Xin Lin nodded in understanding, and asked directly: "General, then what should I do now?" ”
"Your mission is to infiltrate the Xuanhuang Star, and the first priority is to communicate with those unknown energy creatures and find a solution." Yu Yucheng said: "Previously, I sent three teams of the Sword of the Firmament and a group of scientific researchers into the Xuanhuang Star, but now they have lost contact, if you can, I hope you can save them back." ”
"I see." Xin Lin said.
The members of the Sky Sword Battle Group are at least all military generals, and the total number of the three squads is thirty-six, plus the scientific research personnel, the total number of people is more than fifty, and it is not easy to rescue them, maybe they have all been sacrificed.
Yu Yucheng continued: "The energy creatures in the clouds will attack all the targets that enter them, but their number is limited, I will send unmanned fighters to attack from different positions, lure them away, and cover you into the Xuanhuang Star. ”
He glanced at Constance next to him and said, "Constance landed with you, and there is also a squadron of the Sword of the Firmament, a total of sixty interstellar warriors will accompany you." ”
An interstellar warrior is a general-level interstellar soldier.
"Xin Shi, this operation is led by you, including Constance, who is under your command, she has a lot of combat experience and serves as your deputy." After Yu Yucheng finished assigning the task, he asked again, "Do you have anything else to add?" ”
Xin Silence groaned and said, "I'm used to fighting alone, can I carry out the mission alone?" ”
Before Yu Zhicheng could speak, Constance was dissatisfied and mocked: "Boy, this is a battlefield and not a ring, and people who fight alone on the battlefield will not live long." You haven't even killed a steel-maned orc, you don't know how ferocious and powerful they are, it doesn't matter if you lose your life, but don't miss the big things of the Federation! ”
She thought that Xin Lin was very arrogant, and looked down on herself and the Sky Sword Battle Group, if it weren't for General Yu's presence, she would have been angry a long time ago.
A young man in his thirties who dares to point fingers at the Sword of the Sky with a little strength?
Xin Lonely was unmoved, he just felt that when he came into contact with those energy creatures on the Xuanhuang Star, it was very likely that he would have to rely on Ao Qing's space jump, and if there were outsiders present, he would inevitably have scruples and tie his hands and feet. On the other hand, he also thinks that the interstellar wars will not be very helpful to him, and may become a burden.
He didn't explain, his eyes fell on Yu Yucheng, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
"Are you sure you want to fight alone?" Yu Yucheng asked seriously.
"Yes."
Yu Yucheng thought for a moment and guessed that Xin Xiao might not want to expose his abilities, and finally nodded: "Okay, I agreed." However, Constance still had to infiltrate together, and after landing, they would separate from each other on the mission. Constance, you are in charge of search and rescue, and you are free to move around. ”
"Yes, General." The Constance Center was extremely dissatisfied, but did not dare to disobey the order.
After the discussion, I consulted Xin Lian, and after learning that he didn't need to rest, he didn't waste any more time and immediately started to act.
The group went to the battleship hangar and prepared to pilot the fighter to land on Xuanhuang Star.
The hangar of the Hidden Sword is divided into ten floors, each floor has an area of tens of thousands of square meters, and a full 1,200 titanium-winged fighters are parked in the hangar, and sixty fully armed interstellar warriors are already in the ranks, waiting to leave.
Xin Xiao observed these fighters, the length of the titanium wing fighter is more than ten meters, the shape is like an eagle with open wings, the overall structure is triangular, the lines are simple, the whole body is silver, with a strong mechanical creation style. The price of a titanium-winged fighter is no less than that of power armor, both in space and in the atmosphere, they have extremely high speed and maneuverability, they are one of the main weapons in interstellar warfare, and they are no less important than warships.
Sometimes, the outcome of a war depends on the number of fighters.
According to the battle plan, the fleet will send a thousand fighters to cover Xin Lin and others to infiltrate Xuanhuang Star, more than half of these thousand fighters are unmanned, divided into ten fighter formations, and launch an attack on the clouds of Xuanhuang Star within a range of 1,000 kilometers to attract the attention of pure energy creatures.
When necessary, the drone can go directly into the clouds and cause more movement by self-detonation.
And Xin Lin and the others took the opportunity to enter the planet from a position far away from the battlefield to avoid the attacks of these energy creatures. In addition, the Steelmane Empire will not sit idly by and watch the people of the Federation land on Xuanhuang Star, and will definitely send warplanes to interfere, which has happened many times in the past.
Xin Xiao visually measured the volume of the fighter, his heart moved, and he turned his head and said, "General, I need another fighter in case I need it, and it can be put into my subspace." ”
"Yes." Yu Yucheng nodded in agreement, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Can your subspace fit a small quantum repeater?" ”
Xin Xiao suddenly understood the other party's thoughts.
After landing on Xuanhuang Star, because the clouds shield electromagnetic signals, it is impossible to contact the fleet, if you can bring a quantum repeater, then this problem will be solved. Quantum repeaters act at an ultra-long distance, which has nothing to do with electromagnetic signals in ordinary space, and can easily bypass the barrier of clouds.
However, the volume of quantum repeaters is very large, and the farther away they are, the larger they become, and the volume of common models is more than thousands of cubic meters, and a warship can only carry one for maintaining a quantum network. There are also miniaturized quantum repeaters, with a volume of about 500 cubic meters and a connection distance of only a few tens of light years, but it is enough.
With the growth of the slender telekinesis, there are now hundreds of cubic meters, which can't accommodate a small quantum repeater, but Ao Qing's dimensional space can!
Ao Qing's dimensional space volume reached a thousand cubic meters, which was more than enough to put down a small quantum repeater.
Xin Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "If it's a small quantum repeater, I should be able to bring it." ”
Yu Yucheng was overjoyed, he originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect that the subspace of Xin Lonely was really so big. He immediately ordered his adjutant: "I remember that there are two spare small quantum repeaters on the Hidden Sword, go and dismantle one immediately, install a miniature nuclear reactor to provide energy, and bring it to Xin Lone." ”
"Yes." The adjutant took the order and left.
Half an hour later, a quantum repeater was delivered to the hangar, shaped like a giant antenna receiver, more than fifteen meters high, and the base was already equipped with a power supply, which was turned on to radiate signals outward.
Through the quantum repeater, it can be connected to the quantum network for tens of light-years, connected to other quantum repeaters, and then connected to nearby communication terminals in the form of electromagnetic signals, converted into quantum signals, and sent to distant space. Theoretically, just one quantum repeater would be needed to provide the entire planet with the communication needs.
Each quantum repeater is equivalent to an information node, and the quantum communication network of the federation is composed of tens of thousands of quantum repeaters.
Xin Lin stepped forward and reached out to touch the base, Ao Qing had already been instructed to activate the dimensional space in time to contain the huge quantum repeater.
Seeing the disappearance of the quantum repeater, everyone shook their heads in admiration and envy.
Everyone knew that Xin Lin had obtained the Qingkong Sapling in the Qingling Clan before, it was a subspace equipment, but he didn't expect the capacity to be so large, more than five hundred cubic meters! The average subspace equipment can have ten cubic meters and is worth tens of billions, and there is no market, and money can't buy it, so how much can the subspace equipment with a capacity of more than 500 cubic meters be worth? It is estimated that there are more than trillions!
Everyone watched Xin Lin put away the quantum repeater, and conveniently put away a titanium wing fighter, and looked at each other, obviously Xin Lone's subspace still had a surplus.
Yu Yucheng didn't say anything more, and waved his hand directly: "Let's go!" ”
"Yes!"
Constance boarded the fighter with sixty interstellar generals, and Xin Lin also sat on it, and the Lone Star armor was connected to the control platform of the fighter, and a large amount of information was displayed on the screen in front of him. The fighters of the interstellar era have long abandoned the backward manual operation, but connected the signal with the driver's nerves and adopted the thinking control method.
The pilot of the fighter can control all the functions of the fighter just by being conscious.
Therefore, the faster the pilot's mind reacts, the greater the combat effectiveness of the fighter can be exerted, which is why the Force Warrior is more suitable for piloting the fighter than ordinary people, and the Warlock is a better pilot than the Force Warrior.
Xin Lin learned to fly fighter planes in the Force training camp, and the moment the light brain was connected, the information flowed into the brain without any discomfort.
He skillfully started the engine, and with a thought, the fighter jet was launched out of the hangar and into space.
The 1,000 fighters participating in the cover took off from nearly 100 warships and soon converged in space, forming a formation of ten fighters flying towards Xuanhuangxing at high speed. The fleet's orbit was located in the outer space of 5,000 kilometers from Xuanhuang Star, and as soon as the fighters broke away from the fleet, the steel-maned imperial fleet in the distance immediately reacted and sent a considerable number of fighters to intercept it.
"The enemy is coming!"
Constance's voice rang out in the communication channel.
Xin Xiao looked into the distance, adjusting the detection field of the fighter plane, and thousands of strange fighters appeared on the screen. The shape of these fighters is completely different from that of the Federation, the whole body is black and flat, the diameter is about fourteen meters, slightly larger than the titanium wing fighters, the middle is raised, and the front end sticks out of the long spikes, like a huge ray flying upside down.
In fact, the Steelmane Empire's fighter is called the Black Ray!
"Continue to advance towards Xuanhuang Star, the first to fifth formations are ready to meet the enemy, and the rest of the formations are covering and interfering with the clouds." Constance expertly gave the order.
The top speed of the fighters in space reached Mach 30, and six minutes later, the group reached the clouds above the Xuanhuang Star, and the Black Ray fighters of the Steelmane Empire also arrived.
The formation of Federation fighters dispersed, firing at the clouds within a range of hundreds of kilometers, and thousands of missiles were dropped, detonating in the clouds, and instantly boiling, and huge tentacles like tornadoes appeared.
In the storm, several unknown energy creatures were revealed, each of which could control silicate particles within a radius of more than ten kilometers, sometimes conglomerating, sometimes roaring, and various forms appeared in turn, constantly changing, waving their teeth and claws at the group of planes in space.
Immediately afterwards, two groups of fighters with very different styles went head-to-head.
Just in an instant, beams of light swept across the sky, and more than a dozen fighters were exploded by concentrated fire, and debris was scattered everywhere, because sound could not be transmitted in space, and the explosion of fighters looked like a silent firework.
Xin Lin and the other interstellar warlords followed behind the formation, did not participate in the battle, calmly waiting for the opportunity to infiltrate.
More than half of the fighters were unmanned this time, and after they were shot down, their bodies fell into the clouds, and they were immediately devoured by energy creatures and torn to pieces.
Xin Lin had already raised his telepathy to the maximum range, centering on himself to form a mental force field with a diameter of 10,000 meters.
The fighters in front struggled for tens of seconds, and the formation shuttled back and forth to exchange fire, and soon there were casualties.
"Be careful, there's a team of black rays coming." Someone in the communication channel suggested that a team of thirty Black Ray fighters seemed to have noticed that Xin Lin and the others were a little abnormal, and suddenly broke away from the firefighting space, rounded around from the side, and quickly closed the distance, and hundreds of energy beams poured out.
"Meet the enemy!"
Constance shouted, and the two sides faced each other head-on, firing without hesitation.
In the cockpit, Xin Lone's heart was clear, although it was the first time for him to participate in a real war, there was no tension on his face, and the entire fighter was under control. Within 10,000 meters ahead, the route of the four Black Ray fighters clearly appeared in his mind, and Xin Lin calculated the advance amount in an instant and gave the order to fire!
At the same time, the electromagnetic field in the brain domain rotated at high speed, and an invisible magnetic net shrouded forward, invading the four black ray fighters, causing their speed to stagnate.
The beam of energy fires out, hitting the first black ray with incredible precision, blasting it in a tenth of a second.
The fighter without a shield could not withstand the close-range bombardment of the laser cannon at all, and Xin Silence continued to fire, maintaining a rhythm, and the beam followed like a shadow, catching up with the second black ray.
And then the third, then the fourth!
When the last Black Ray was hit, it was only a kilometer away from Xin Lone's plane, and Xin Lin could see the steel-maned orcs in the cockpit with a horrified expression on their faces, and then they were engulfed in flames, and their bones were lost in the explosion.
Within a second, four fighters were shot down, and a hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the black ray formation, which surprised both the enemy and us around them, and they all looked sideways.
Xin Lonely didn't have time to pay attention to other people's thoughts, and with a thought, the laser cannon of the titanium-winged fighter turned around, slightly maneuvered to the side for thousands of meters to the left, and immediately opened fire again, shooting down two black rays again. The powerful and amazing firepower made the steelmane realize the extraordinary nature of this titanium-winged fighter, and more than a dozen black rays around him evaded the pursuit of Xin Lone, and while pulling the range, they fired back and launched dozens of missiles without hesitation.
After a dazzling period of maneuvering, the silent titanium-winged fighter seemed to have long eyes, dodging all attacks unscathed.
On the contrary, the Black Ray fighters were shot down one after another, and none of those who entered the range of Xin Lonely escaped alive.
In just half a minute, Xin Lin shot down seventeen black rays, and the results were brilliant!
The rest of the Blackrays were also wiped out by the interstellar warlords led by Constance, and a squad of fighters from the Steelmane Empire was wiped out, relieving the pressure.
"Well done!" Constance praised in the channel.
The soldier speaks with strength, and Xin Lin single-handedly kills half of the attacking enemies, more than she and the other interstellar generals combined, and no matter how much dissatisfaction she has, she has to be convinced now.
Constance also shot down three black rays, but they were a little insignificant compared to Xin Lone, but he sighed in his heart, the warlock was indeed more suitable for piloting the fighter than the Force Warrior.
Moreover, Xin Silence is also an unavoidable electromagnetic warlock on the interstellar battlefield!
"Xin Lone, you're ready to land!"
Yu Xucheng's voice came from the communication channel, he controlled the information on the entire battlefield on the flagship, at this moment the battle between the enemy and our fighters entered a white-hot state, fighting together, and could not be separated in a short time, it was the right time to get rid of the interference and enter the Xuanhuang Star.
"Follow me." Xin Xiao did not hesitate, immediately adjusted the direction of the fighter, drew a huge semicircle in space, and fell straight down at high speed towards a calm cloud.
Behind him, Constance and sixty interstellar warpers lined up in a line to follow.
The Xuanhuang Star quickly enlarged in front of his eyes, and soon occupied the entire field of vision, and the location chosen by Xin Silent was far away from those energy creatures, located near the equator of the Xuanhuang Star, and the telepathy was integrated into a bundle, extending to a hundred kilometers away, and no anomalies were found under the clouds.
"Slow down." Xin Xiao said loudly.
The clouds of the Xuanhuang Star are silicate particles of iron and magnesium, three times denser than air, and the fighter planes rushing into it at high speed are almost like hitting a wall, which is tantamount to killing themselves.
Sixty-two fighters slowed down in unison, and in ten seconds, the speed dropped from Mach 30 to Mach 10, which is still a very alarming speed. As the Xuanhuang Star got closer and closer, the density of the atmosphere became larger and larger, and the friction on the fuselage of the fighter produced sparks, as if a faint flame was ignited.
"Boom!"
With a dull bang, the fighter plane shook violently, its speed dropped rapidly, and scorching flames rubbed out of the shells of countless silicate particles, dragging out hundreds of meters long tail flames, like meteors descending.
Xin Lin looked around, and the outside was yellow-brown, and the visibility was less than 100 meters, as if it was surrounded by a thick fog.
He didn't dare to be careless, and telepathy integrated a line that kept scanning like radar, searching for traces of the enemy in the clouds. Fortunately, those energy creatures did not attack, and they were obviously attracted by the movement on the other side of the battlefield, and they had no time to worry about the invasion here.
The fighter plane sped through the clouds for a minute, and the shell was already potholed and mottled, and it looked like it was about to fall apart.
Suddenly, the clouds disappeared, the light shone brightly, and his vision suddenly opened up, and a huge beautiful world came to him before his eyes, and he held his breath.
"Xuanhuang Star has arrived!"
