Chapter 223 Energy Crisis

With the last MS trying to escape, along with the mothership next to it, in a dense barrage of bullets containing various beams, live ammunition, and guided weapons, there was not even a scum left that was directly bombarded. This encounter, in which both sides made unexpected mistakes and kept making mistakes, finally came to an end. It's just that when a certain ion turned off the communication jamming and gradually weakened, and the participating troops began to be busy with the aftermath cleaning and rescue work in an orderly manner under the guidance of signal flares, a certain commander who should have been happy about this great victory in the battle was not in a very comfortable mood at this moment. After all, although from a tactical point of view, this battle was indeed won quite beautifully, from a strategic point of view, it is likely to be a huge defeat of losing watermelons and picking sesame seeds.

Looking out the window at the considerable number of countless shimmering metallic wrecks of broken machinery and the human corpses floating in space that had long been invisible and burned and cut by the explosion, she was full of emotion at this moment, and after letting out a sigh containing a variety of positive and negative emotions, she did not fail to return to reality under the repeated contradictory painful thoughts and the examination of deep conscience. After all, "man is not for himself, and heaven and earth will be destroyed!" "Judging from the previous situation, my situation is still very serious. To complete the first step of the mission, it is not easy to arrive on time!

Misato Katsuragi: "Hinata-kun, how have we lost in this battle so far?" ”

Hyuga: "The loss of energy exceeded two-thirds of the projections, the ammunition reserves of each ship were less than one-half, fifteen fighters were completely destroyed, and thirty-seven were damaged to varying degrees during the battle, twelve of which could not be repaired in a short time, 18 pilots were killed and 29 were seriously and lightly injured. In addition to these combat losses, there were 128 non-combat injuries, including interior decorations shattered due to large-angle maneuvering, more than 15 unsecured personnel were seriously injured by falls, and abnormal wear and tear caused by the collision of some food ingredients in the warehouse. ”

Misato Katsuragi: "Good! Hinata-kun. But now I want to know more about the remaining energy, is it enough to fly to a predetermined place on Earth? ”

Hinata-kun: "If you look at the theoretical data, I'm afraid it's really difficult!" However, if the ship's auxiliary systems were turned off and everyone wore spacesuits, the energy saved would still be enough for us to get there on time. It's just that the only uncertain factor, perhaps is not knowing what the energy consumption of the other two warships is? ”

Ibuki: "The interference has been lifted, and the tactical command system has been successfully rewired." The data sharing system was successfully connected, and the actual situation of each warship was successfully synchronized! ”

Misato Katsuragi: "Well, it doesn't look too bad! Although the condition of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River is much worse than ours, and the consumption of energy and ammunition is more seriously wasted by those student soldiers, it is not enough to drag us back. As long as everyone is patient for a while, this difficulty will still be easily passed!" However, the so-called world is unpredictable, not to mention that it is a complete stranger and has no intelligence to support it. Soon, when everything seemed to be in order, an unexpected crisis occurred without warning.

Aoba: "This? How can it be! To the southwest, an unidentified object was found rapidly approaching, confirmed to be a Nazca-class high-speed combat ship based on peripheral drone image transmission, number 3. At the current speed, it will enter the detection range of the opponent's radar in three minutes! ”

Misato Katsuragi: "Nani? Why did you find out! Damn it! It must be the action of those ions. Why didn't I notice earlier, what a miscalculation!

Ibuki: "The ships have sent in to ask if they should retreat immediately, or prepare for a new attack?" ”

Misato Katsuragi: "Damn it! It's just a little bit close! Reply to them, stop bothering with the wreckage and escape pods, and abort the cleanup mission immediately! The squadrons immediately return in order of priority, repeat, return immediately! Two minutes later, the ships went into stealth and moved at full speed according to the set goal! ”

Hinata-kun: "But there are still a lot of wreckage fragments of our fighters outside that have not been fully recovered, plus those fish that may have slipped through the net hiding in the escape pod, so let's leave without cleaning up the traces, I'm afraid there will be a great possibility of leaking in advance!" And the use of stealth systems is already energy-intensive, so wouldn't it be even worse to have to go full speed ahead? ”

Misato Katsuragi: "I can't care so much!" Energy matters, wait until you are out of danger before you plan for it! Our top priority now is to get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible and avoid this unnecessary conflict as much as possible! As for the stuff that might leak us. Actually, you don't have to find and destroy them one by one! Look, isn't the big killer in this arsenal just enough to wipe that area off the star map? As long as the time and explosion range are calculated when launching, we will be all right if it does not affect us! ”

As she said these words, she crackled on the keyboard in front of her, and a three-dimensional dynamic map of a missile that was listed as the highest authority appeared on the tactical screen in front of everyone. And with a series of three-row twelve-digit passwords entered, the strategic-level vacuum implosion bomb that completed the final unlocking authority finally revealed a hideous face as the launch hatch opened.

A few minutes later, the wreckage of MS, MA, and even large warships that could not be seen everywhere was like the gravel battlefield of the Shura Field, and at this moment, a ZAFT fleet that had been attracted by the colorful light in the vicinity before and wanted to take a look, after some careful and meticulous search and examination, finally found some suspicions from the wreckage that had been reduced to space junk after being melted by explosions and high temperatures floating in space. When I was about to send MS to further send the survivors who were talking nonsense on the public rescue channel back to the mothership to be investigated by relevant professionals to find out the ins and outs of the matter, the strange energy fluctuations that inexplicably appeared on the radar and the instant expansion of the small black dots that suddenly appeared in front of them made these unlucky people who had just touched the surface of the truth of the matter before they realized that death was about to fall on their heads, and they were forcibly sucked into another world in such a daze!

At the same time, when the huge black ball gradually disappeared, through the last real-time video transmitted back before the nearby drone lost contact, the people who watched the whole process of this desperate blow were completely shocked, and finally slowly came back to their senses with the sharp siren of less than 50% of the battleship's energy. Of course, compared to the facial expressions that are still a little stiff and stunned, and even the eyes still show the kind of fear, surprise, and unbearable feelings from the heart, Misato Katsuragi, as the commander-in-chief on the bridge, will be much calmer. After all, in the immersive virtual training process, in order to pass the final assessment test that can be called perverted difficulty, this level of destructive weapons is not less than to greet those NPC fleets.

Misato Katsuragi: "Tell each ship to turn off the stealth system, change to cruising speed at full speed, and continue to move towards the target." Also, let the gendarmes cooperate with the ground crew to go to the hangar to disassemble the Tiberium standard power module on the tactical mecha space warfare backpack. As long as all those things are loaded into the power furnaces of each battleship, theoretically even a few more battles of that scale will be more than enough. ”

Aoba: "This method does work. However, those guys in the army who admit their reasons for death, without receiving orders from their immediate superiors, will probably never agree to this kind of decision to dig up people's ancestral graves. And that person has been locked up by you, even if she is released now, I'm afraid she won't be easy to talk about when she is angry. So in that case, do you want to change the object to the Morphing Fighter? ”

Misato Katsuragi: "Never! The Shapeshifter has proven its immense superiority over the world's human weapons in previous space wars! As a high-low match, the tactical mecha is far inferior to the former in terms of protection, mobility, endurance, and destructive power. Therefore, just because someone objected and refused to cooperate, I would never accommodate the matter of losing the watermelon and picking up sesame seeds!

Enforce the ship's state of emergency, issue non-lethal electromagnetic pistols to the gendarmes and cooperate with the dismantling work of the logistics personnel, and if anyone dares to obstruct and delay in this process, they will be locked up for me first! ”

"Hey, I didn't expect that after so many things, your temper is still as hot as ever! When will the problem of not using your brain and liking to do it be clear! You will never succeed if you come so hard! Don't forget, although the well-trained soldiers are armed with five inches, there are so many of them that even if they fight ten to one, they can still have three or four left. Once there is an accident between the two sides in the course of the conflict, it will cause a riot, and if the gendarme can't suppress it, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble! Therefore, my honorable commander, leave this matter to me, and make sure that everything will be back to business as usual in less than half an hour. ”

I don't know when I arrived here, and after changing the sloppy style of the past, Blessing Ryoji, who was wearing a camouflage military uniform, said this in a mocking tone, and without waiting for everyone to react, he walked up to someone by himself, straightened his hat with both hands like a couple in love, and whispered something in his ear that made the other party angry and blush, and then strode away from the bridge with an awkward atmosphere.

A few minutes later, somewhere on the battleship didn't even have a design drawing, it didn't even have a design drawing. At this moment, as the blessing of the supreme person in charge of the operation intelligence, after a rapid tapping on the touch screen keyboard in front of him, finally with the progress bar behind a few large Chinese characters in the communication reached 100%, a familiar and somewhat unfamiliar face appeared in front of his eyes. said that the person was familiar, naturally there was nothing to say, after all, Li Feng, as the top boss, was not very recognizable to the public. As for why the stranger is probably related to his current tattered clothes, which seem to be roasted by smoke and fire, and are similar to beggars' clothes.

Li Feng: "Don't laugh!" Don't ask me how I got this way! What to report hurry, I'm in a hurry! ”

Blessing Ryoji: "Eh! Here's how it goes. {100 words omitted below}. ”

Li Feng: "These two people really don't give me peace of mind!" But the method of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall is also quite creative! I approved it, and the order of formal authorization would be communicated in five minutes. As for the work of enlightening Kilian, I will do it after the communication is over, you don't have to worry that she will come out and get in the way, don't worry about doing it boldly. Whoever dares to oppose it is looking for death, and you can play with them however you want. Compared to all this trivial, I really have an important task for you to deal with right now!

Didn't you want to ask me why I became this embarrassment! Hey, that's too careless! Just a few minutes ago, on the way to the shipyard to participate in the launching ceremony of a new warship, TMD was actually ambushed on his own turf, and he was almost kidnapped, and he felt ashamed to say it! As for the attackers, don't think about it, I'm sure you'll guess it. That's right, according to genetic identification, it has been confirmed that they are those guys left behind by the Killian army! So you should know how to do this, I don't believe that these remnants of extreme green cultists who dare to die have made such a big news, just to rush to death, and have no other purpose. ”

Blessing Ryoji: "So, before the secret investigation, do you want to communicate this matter to Major General Kilian?" With her help, I think it will be twice as effective with half the effort! After all, according to the data, the most unlikely person in the army to be infiltrated is her top boss. ”

Li Feng: "For the time being, I still don't, although I also think that the black hand behind the scenes can never be her." But before figuring out the size of the other party's organization, it is not a good idea to rashly startle the snake. After all, more than a quarter of this army believes in the Green Cult, and if you accidentally let the other party notice, I'm afraid all of you will be in danger of your life! Hey, you blame me for it! If it weren't for the soft roots of her ears, she agreed to her request under the soft grinding and hard bubbles, and let her choose the soldiers who were insufficient to replenish by herself, where would there be these troubles now!

! Sure enough, people who are recruited without sufficient scrutiny are unreliable! However, when did this wave of terrorists come up and take root, and miraculously escaped the liquidation after so many rebellions, and the intelligence department, which has not been very bright, has not even been aware of the system of peeping into people's hearts, and I still can't figure it out! Damn, I shouldn't have let anyone who has anything to do with the Middle Eastern Green Cult get on board, I'm really self-inflicted! ”
