Chapter 61: The Scarred Hammer
The so-called special emergency strategy is actually very similar to the decoy bomb of the Earth era, which throws some discarded parts, maintenance machinery lubricants, backup gas containing ships, and even flour into space.
This is a tactic that seriously violates the interstellar convention, and it is not surprising that space junk that is too small, especially metal objects such as military screws on battleships, can easily cause immeasurable damage when the ship is sailing at cruising speeds above cruising, and it is not surprising that it penetrates the frontal armor and causes dozens of deaths in the hangar when it is out of speed.
Fortunately, we are pirates, and the binding force of the interstellar covenant mainly depends on the mood, and now the Heavy Hammer has been broken by the shield many times, and the red alarm light has been showing a sense of presence, and Dorotai only hesitated for a moment, and gave instructions to the hangar department.
When the enemy fleet opened fire again, the nearest frigate was only 380,000 kilometers away from the Hammer, and compared to the electronic main guns, which generally exceeded the ballistic speed of 200,000 kilometers per second, it could only be regarded as a medium-range battle, but even so, the ships that were a little farther away still missed in the process of the Hammer's turn, causing the round of attack to still barely break through the shield, leaving a red spot on the armor.
At the end of the shelling, Pan Vin began to give orders.
"The main thruster group is opened, 30% thrust, and the hangar executes a special emergency strategy."
Pan Wen didn't think about the interstellar convention at all when he gave this order, the second world is just a pile of data, the interstellar convention is just a shackle for normal NPCs to abide by, and those bits and pieces of garbage are naturally handled by "gods".
The direction of movement of the Heavy Hammer was originally in the direction of the Fat Dun, and after the order came out, there was no need to do a maneuver, and it directly turned around and sprayed a light cyan plasma flame from the tail. At the same time, the isolation areas on both sides of the hangar stretched out of the hull, and a bunch of small and messy objects were scattered inside, and while the armor crackled and spread out in the second half of the hull, a large amount of gas was released into space, and the gas released in a few seconds exceeded the total capacity inside the hangar.
To put it bluntly, the special emergency strategy is a tactic that simulates the atmosphere in a space combat environment, and the atmosphere is the nemesis of all high-energy weapons, even the top-level full-size main gun, which will become lethal at only three to five hundred kilometers in the standard atmosphere. The gases released by ships in space cannot reach the thickness and pressure of the real atmosphere, and will be diluted in a very short time, so flour and other objects that are easy to diffuse with the help of artificial air flow become an effective supplement, and when passing through the wake, the flour is heated and the surrounding gases undergo some reactions, becoming a more uniform density simulation environment. Parts and lubricants are unique in emergency strategies, as some of them are not bounced off by the hull itself, and a liquid film is formed under the action of gas resistance, which can make the simulated thin bodies and dust masses have substantial defense.
Of course, as far as the battle at hand is concerned, the contingency strategy can only weaken the attack of the first group of enemies by two to three percent, and the remaining two frigates of the second group on the other side will not be affected.
The purpose of Pan Wen's request to implement the emergency strategy is not actually to reduce the number of attacks to avoid damage, mainly because the tail jet will weaken the shield energy utilization in the PP direction, and attacks in this direction only need fewer attacks to break the shield. Unlike the auxiliary propulsion ports that are located in all directions of the hull, the main thruster group requires a process to increase and decrease thrust, and sudden closure is likely to cause an explosion in the part that produces the plasma reaction from the inside, so it is not possible to turn off the thrusters every few seconds and open them again after shelling.
The Hammer's shield was unable to withstand each of the first few rounds of attacks, and in order not to be seriously injured in the direction of the PP, it had to resort to unconventional methods.
The Hammer, with 30% thrust on its main thruster, would increase its current speed by 10% in about 3 minutes, and in the same three minutes, the enemy's distance would be reduced by 200,000 kilometers, and a theoretical fourth group of enemy ships could appear.
It was of little use, so I had to do nothing.
In the next three rounds of attacks, the Heavy Hammer suffered a lot. As the spills gradually spread and gradually lost their weakening effect, the main thruster group near the upper left side of the thruster group was blown up, and several internal compartments were set on fire. The No. 11 secondary gun on the port side also followed in the footsteps of the No. 4 secondary gun on the starboard side, and the mechanical device jammed.
But in the face of such a loss, Pan Wen not only did not get nervous, but smiled after the destructive results of the third round of attacks came out.
Win!
"Turn off the main thruster group and keep the direction of movement turning 180 degrees. The Kuroshio, Fat Dun, and Scalpel split ships locked on to the No. 3 target, and used the firing time of the Fat Dun as a reference to their respective cooperation. ”
Maybe the commander of the enemy fleet was a dead brain, and he had to kill the Hammer, which seemed to be a little unbearable, and as a result, the Scalpel split ship, which stayed in place and hovered and slowed down, didn't care at all!
On the other side, the three rounds of shelling did not last for forty seconds, but the Fat Dun and the Heavy Hammer were moving in the opposite direction, and several minutes ago they were reducing the distance at a speed of more than 4,000 kilometers per second.
"Boss, the missile will attack target 14 in 40 seconds, you pay attention to the time." After receiving the order, Doris told the good news through the Fleet Channel.
"Got it, good job."
In order to defend against electronic warfare means, it is not possible to change the target after launching a missile. Pan Wen didn't know if Doris had delayed the launch or if she was using Meng like him, but the result was here, and the timing of the attack was just right.
The attack of the Fat Dun, the Kuroshio and the Scalpel split ships were partially avoided, but they only broke the shield and left some meltdowns on the armor, without causing much trauma.
It doesn't matter, the corvette is assigned to a light ship, not only is the total capacity of the shield energy slightly lower, but the recovery ratio of its shield per second is also slower, generally around 20 seconds, and it cannot be reduced to less than 15 seconds through the ability improvement of various personnel. Until then, the next round of attacks will arrive.
When the Heavy Hammer was sprayed in the face again, the pirate fleet led by Pan Vin launched a formal counterattack against the remaining Gabry Federation convoy.
After a few pillars of light, the No. 3 ship, which had not had time to recover its shield, was reduced to wreckage.
"Below is the No. 14 target, which will be attacked in coordination with our ship."
The commander of the opposing side was obviously not very good at his head, and when there were only four medium-sized frigates left, he did not run away, and once again brazenly attacked the Heavy Hammer.
At this time, the distance between the Heavy Hammer and the remaining two enemy ships in the first group was almost at the edge of the maximum effectiveness area of the main guns of both sides, and the two frigates in the second group were slightly farther away, but they were aiming at the side of the Heavy Hammer, which was larger against the enemy.
After a round of artillery fire, the 5,000-point shield of the Heavy Hammer was broken again under the attack of the remaining four enemy ships, but fortunately, the evasive action played a little role, but the result was only to leave traces on the outer armor again.
As he was about to change hands to attack, Candace sent a message from the scalpel: "Boss, a fleet of five targets has been discovered, moving towards the theater of operations, and the position has been passed to the ships. ”
It's finally here.
There is still a period of time before Pan Wen's prediction, but he guessed correctly, the fourth fleet was found by the scalpel on its own initiative to find the enemy, and at this time, it was still nearly a million kilometers away from the center point of Pan Wen's fleet, and it was impossible to catch up with the next scene.
The latter scene will probably make the "elite" of the Gabby Federation remember it for a long time.
The two hundred missiles that had been fired at the beginning of the war finally entered the penetration phase, and when the secondary gun rays generated during interception appeared around the 14th target, the Heavy Hammer opened fire with the fleet.
The pillars of light emitted by several main guns take advantage of the enemy's interception of missiles to strike, which is a very classic way for the capital ship and the support ship to cooperate with each other, without requiring much success, only to start destroying the outer armor and allowing the enemy ship to produce a small amount of vibration.
After being hit, the bow of the No. 14 target ship was damaged, but it still did not give up the interception action. Unfortunately, the delay of only one second has already had an incremental effect at this time, as the missile group gets closer, the secondary gun needs a larger angle of movement to intercept the next target, and even in the beam launch, it will be more difficult to hit due to the relative angle of movement of the missile.
The results are obvious, the fat dun is only equipped with conventional warhead missiles, but the strike force generated by the penetration speed of nearly 10,000 kilometers is much higher than the effect of energy weapons, the first hit missile did not have time to trigger through the ship, the second hit directly blew up hundreds of square meters of structure on the back of the hit area into fragments and sprayed out, and there were more than 20 rounds in the wreckage that passed through and exploded, and they didn't have eyes to see, and it is estimated that only a few screws or something are left for recovery.
After the explosion of target 14, a miracle occurred, and target 15 actually made an obvious turning action!
Number 14 is the flagship!
"Captain Doris, thanks to you, the outcome of the battle can be determined sooner." It will take a while for the fourth group to join the battlefield, the situation in front of them is clear, and Pan Wen does not hesitate to praise Doris, luck is also a kind of strength.
The heroic Doris is easier to let go when chatting with Pan Wen in private, but she is not used to being praised in front of other captains, so she hummed twice in the channel as a response.
The rest can be said to be fine, but the remaining two frigates of the second group of enemy ships actually fired a salvo at one of the scalpel's split ships at the last moment!
These two shots simply shattered Pan Wen's heart.
The Scalpel's split ship is almost a simple medium-sized heavy fireship, but it is a beam main gun remote control type, and the shield can barely withstand a full-size cannon attack, not to mention the recovery speed.
Fired from the two main guns in front of the starboard side, giving it a big hole! There is no need to go to Candace, the captain of the scalpel, to confirm the location, the energy storage facilities and shield core system inside must be useless.
"Don't let go of the 12th, 13th, or 15th! Attack the 12th first. "The Heavy Hammer has already suffered a lot of external injuries, and for no reason, it has lost hundreds of additional star coins, which makes Pan Wen quite angry and determines the final fate of the enemy.
