Chapter 108: Florine's Hornet's Nest (Part I)
Finally seeing the stellar light that can be seen with the naked eye, the demon king octopus waved his tentacles excitedly, ready to start the great cause of fighting behind enemy lines.
However, in the face of the Florin Republic, where everyone in the outside world is silent, will things be as easy as they think?
Naturally, this is impossible, and Florine is a natural trap, with the highest density of alert nets in all MR clusters, or simply gapless alert nets. Therefore, before the huge swarm has fully completed the jumping action, the alert ship on duty has already received the data sent back by the sensor and issued an intrusion alarm before it can be notified!
At the time of the alarm, the alert ship did not even know what was entering the warning circle, only that according to the results of the data calculation, the total mass of the unidentified objects entering the warning range had exceeded the standard for issuing an intrusion warning, and this was enough.
The Republic of Florence is a special country throughout the Galactic Era.
Their xenophobia is not only due to feminism, MR247 is also a wealthy galaxy.
The so-called wealth is not gold or star crystals, it refers first and foremost to energy. MR247 has 6 solar masses and less than standard radiation per unit area, making it ideal for the development of L2 or even L3 facilities, and it can be said that once technology allows, MR247 will be one of the first three stars to build L3 facilities in the entire MR cluster in the human-controlled area. Even now, it is one of the few stars to have completed the L2 project.
So what does L2 bring to the table? An extra resident star!
The MR247 Stellar L2 project, combined with the artificial tide-controlled celestial body, Sakura Port, has created a new planetary environment.
This self-modified resident star is much better than most naturally occurring habitable or easily modified planets, increasing Florin's domestic demand market several times.
L2, a resident star and a Gaia-like planet, Florin must have enough force to keep herself safe. Florin's territory is limited to MR247, and with the limited land and economic support, it is natural to create an armed force that can resist all aggression.
Only emphasizing local defense, not pursuing decisive battles abroad, step by step, Florine has become the current small aircraft specialized country, with the technology generation gap that can throw off the two generations of the outside world. How much is there still a bit of demand for large ships? Titan Heavy Industries also took advantage of this to build a large shipyard industrial chain in Sakura Harbor that can manufacture heavy cruisers and their support equipment and parts, and exclusively monopolized Florin's warship purchase orders. Naturally, Florin saved the technical research and development expenses to pay for countless ship branches, and at most added the annual guaranteed amount for the purchase of ships from Titan Heavy Industries.
Ultra-light armies dedicated to homegrown defense may be vulnerable outside, but on the territory of the Republic of Florins, they have an advantage that is hard to ignore—any inconspicuous passing celestial body may hide unimaginable destructive power, whether it is a group of drone armor that has been sitting still for hundreds of years, or an antimatter bomb bunker that completely violates the Interstellar Covenant.
After all, they have L2, they can produce antimatter bombs by themselves, even if they are reported outside, they can only fight with words, as for economic sanctions, the elements of Florin's territory are complete, and there is no dependence on the outside world.
Because Florin is not afraid of sanctions, and the territory is only one point of MR247, it is difficult to judge the bottom line of their antimatter strike, and any force that wants to invade this place will think about whether it will happen "Florin's army thinks you are very powerful and throws a few antimatter bombs at you" and something like that.
The cost of using antimatter bombs is very high, and this will be discussed later, but the first to contact the swarm at this moment is the γ017 mecha detachment of the γ patrol branch.
The mecha detachment is equipped with twelve third-generation living mechs and twenty-four long-fire mechas, which is just on the average level of the Florin mech squadron.
Xiao Kui is the captain of the γ017 mecha detachment, and he thought that he was assigned to the γ patrol branch line where the line did not include any jump circles, but he was just waiting to retire, but he didn't expect that there would be an enemy situation at this time!
"One million kilometers away from the warning point, the whole team checks the connection status of the reconnaissance network."
"I have already picked it up, but I don't see the enemy." The vice-captain Tianmei spoke out first.
"The alert has not been lifted, the enemy must still be there, contact the alert ship to inquire about the situation."
Florin's mecha unit and the alert ship are separated, and the mecha unit is stationed in a customized drifting cabin, which is based on the star as the orbital movement of the drifting cabin, which is only used to provide the mecha troops with temporary mecha storage, minimum living needs and a certain communication ability, so the mecha troops also need to consult the alert ship at any time after dispatching to obtain more detailed information.
The work of the liaison alert ship is completed by the communication machine in the long-range fire mecha, which is said to be a communication machine, but in fact it is no different from other long-range fire mechas, but the difference in the position of a different class.
"Captain, the alert ship has replied to the message, and the new coordinates of the center of gravity of the suspicious material at the early warning point have been sent to all the mechs, and they said that the scouts in the entire defense area have not taken images corresponding to the target, and the enemy is likely to be stealthy."
"Incognito? Optics? Xiao Aoi looked incredulous.
"That's what the cordon ship should mean."
Optical stealth is not a high-tech, but it has not been used in large-scale military applications in space. First of all, there are too many ways to break optical stealth, and even as long as it is close enough, it does not require professional equipment, and it can be caught through conventional radars and sensors.
In addition, optical stealth paint and anti-radar paint are conflicting, and the choice of optical stealth paint is equivalent to retaining only the anti-detection means through the shape means, and it will be very disadvantageous during the battle. After all, aiming elements such as heat source and mass center of gravity cannot be hidden in battle, and without an anti-radar coating, even the size cannot deceive the enemy, and the first wave of the existence of capital ships and the like will be killed.
"In that case, the center of gravity of the other people locked on the alert body moved, I'll take a closer look."
The vice-captain immediately retorted: "Captain, let me go, my baby is better." ”
Although there are some suspicions of refuting face, in fact, Florin's system is that the vice-captain is the elite of the battle, and the captain is stricter in terms of mental assessment, so the vice-captain will be equipped with better mechas.
"Hmm...... You be careful. ”
The vice-captain didn't reply again, and directly asked the mecha to speed up to the front of the team.
Vice Captain Tianmei and Captain Xiaokui are all using three generations of biological mechas, but even if they are all three generations, the difference between them is also very big based on biology, all the mecha piloted by the vice captain can reach more than 120% of the ordinary third-generation machine in terms of energy reserve and energy recovery, and individual meritorious elite mecha may be more perverted, don't look at the 20% increase It doesn't seem like much, but it means that the ability to be limited in other mecha can be used more often, For a small and flexible object as a mech, one more means can greatly increase the survival rate.
Tianmei sat in the mecha, calmly analyzing the situation, and there was a lump of living bodies lying on her head.
This dango-shaped creature is the doppelganger of the "baby" in her mouth, and the operation of the biological mecha is completed through the brainwave induction of the driver and the "danzi", without considering the delay of physical operation. Well, the risk of a backlash to the human brain must be taken.
Tianmei naturally didn't want to die just by looking at the enemy, she couldn't rush directly to the coordinates of the center of gravity, in that case, it would take close to two hundred seconds to go back the way she came and reach the speed when she entered, unless she could destroy all the invaders alone, there was no chance of survival.
She closely followed the displacement of the center of gravity of the mass of the intruder, gradually approached the target, and began the first action at a distance of 500,000 kilometers.
The mecha accelerated, its legs opened, and dozens of objects with a length of just over thirty centimeters flew out. The leg is useless in space warfare other than providing additional propulsion vectors, and is a discardable part of the body, and support weapons are generally stuffed into it as long as they can be stuffed into it, not closer to the cockpit.
The things that are launched can only be called missiles, not missiles at all, and there are few in human society that are equipped with missiles with a range of less than 2 million kilometers in space.
Most of the initial velocity of the missile is given by the mecha, but what is more than 30 centimeters and more than 10 kilograms at most, the speed on the road is maintained to adjust the track, and the quality that can be used for attack in the end can be basically ignored. Naturally, it could not have been attacked by penetration and blasting.
After releasing the missile, TiMi changed course and again reduced its speed to a cruising speed of 3,000 kilometers per second, attempting to pass over the side of the suspicious target.
Then, not surprisingly, after a few minutes of flight, the missile was the first to do its job.
This missile, which has a special term "mark" in the Floryn unit, is a composite biological and chemical weapon, and it has two warheads. One is the release of special gases, in view of the near-vacuum environment of space, a few kilograms of gas can be diffused to a very large area, all the organic matter contaminated with gas particles will be aged due to the action of the catalyst, peeling and other conditions, of course, too small a dose has no effect in actual combat, but it is enough to let the reconnaissance equipment get more information in the reconnaissance network. The second is the liquid part, which will only be released in the event of an impact, which is not only highly corrosive, but also extremely radioactive, which will "infect" the area near the bomb area into a radiation source.
The missile is a meritorious achievement, but unfortunately the biological mecha itself does not have the ability to analyze data and other abilities, and the feedback of the missile has to be sent to the alert ship through the reconnaissance equipment before it can return to the battlefield, and Tianmei, who acts alone, does not know that it has been born.
At this time, Tianmei and her mech finally discovered the flank of the center of gravity of the target mass, and the poor living mecha electronics captured the gravitational pull.
It's not that Florin's electronic technology is not good, but in order to make the biological mecha have stronger combat and recovery capabilities, all the mechanical and electronic equipment has to be further reduced, and their precise radius of action is only sixty percent of that of a conventional mecha.
In short, the gravitational force generated by the mass of the object is captured, indicating that it is very close to the target, and the target is still invisible, which has confirmed that the enemy is a stealth force.
Now that the mission has been preliminarily completed, is the next step to find a large force to deal with the problem, or to further confirm the target?
Before Tianmei could make a decision, the swarm helped her decide.
Two plasma beams appeared out of thin air and were narrowly dodged by Tianmei.
"Enemy attack." Tianmei commanded the mecha to enter a state of maneuver to evade evacuation, and sensed a more serious problem, "Instead of intercepting the mecha with a beam cannon, a plasma beam was used, and the target was not a human!" Bugger??? ”
The human offensive and defensive systems have been studied over and over again, and if it is a human fleet, if it is a human fleet, it will definitely use a beam cannon that can see the hit, and will not use a plasma weapon whose trajectory is slower than that of particle weapons.
The swarm realizes that they have been discovered, and it is impossible for Tianmei to run away like this.
The Phantom Worm has finally waited for the place where it comes into play, and the Phantom with the speed mutation superpower is definitely a nightmare for all kinds of fighters in the past battles with humans, and there will be no accidents in MR247.
Then a few Phantom Worms chased out and were educated by Tianmei.
Different from the mecha in the outside world, in the face of the plasma mass of the phantom insect, the biological mecha tried to dodge once, and found that the plasma mass corrected the trajectory, and after it seemed to have the ability to attach, it sprayed a beam of energy from its left arm and directly split the plasma!
Tianmei didn't use a laser sword or anything, what was hidden in her left arm was a whip with a solid body, soft and hard, and it was said that it could split the corvette's armor after adding energy, but unfortunately no one in the outside world had tried it, and only Florin natives knew whether it was true or not.
As the moving mech splits several plasma balls and kills a phantom insect with a large gun in his hand, the Demon King Octopus finally realizes that he has jumped into a strange place, where there are quite suspicious mech troops.
