Chapter 122: Wang Xiaoming's Divine Spear
Wang Xiaoming is a Marine who is mainly responsible for piloting fighter planes, and currently works on the Kraken under the female pirate Fiorine.
The employer is a beautiful cold face queen, but the job is not easy to do. He and his colleagues have been living in the Hymer galaxy for almost 200 days, and when they have nothing to do in space, they can always watch some expired shows and gamble on snacks with their teammates. The danger is to go down to the planet beneath your feet with your friends every two months to protect the developers and equipment on the ground, and then you have to deal with insects that can emerge from anywhere.
Ground duty has nothing to do with the primary duty of piloting fighter planes, but most Marines have to accept the fate of wearing many hats for the sake of higher salaries than ordinary crew members and technicians.
After two shifts, five of the comrades-in-arms who served on the Kraken at the same time as Wang Xiaoming have remained in the atmosphere forever, accounting for a quarter of the number of the Kraken team. That's a terrible number, but thankfully there were no more surprises in the second half of the most recent shift as the ground base improved day by day.
On the Kraken today, Wang Xiaoming, as usual when he rested, was chatting with his comrades-in-arms in the leisure area watching the "news" program that came synchronously from a certain ship a few days ago.
"Wow, this reporter's ass is so big!" A shiny bald head pointed at the female reporter on the big screen to comment.
"I think Her Majesty's ass is bigger." Her Majesty is the private name of the crew for Fiorline.
Wang Xiaoming took a sip of the distilled water in the bag in his hand, shook his head, and swept his eyes to a female crew member playing games with her hips crossed in the corner of the leisure area, feeling that her comrades-in-arms were quite good.
The Kraken uses a female-oriented name, and the crew members on the ship are still only a very ordinary ratio of eight men to two women, which makes most of the crew members a little **. But this does not mean that they will always remain in ** state, in fact, many of the female crew members are quite open, and it is not uncommon for a very small number of them to have relationships with the opposite sex of the whole ship during a long journey.
I thought that today would be the same as usual, but before lunchtime, the yellow light lit up on the ship!
"All crew members, please note that there is an abnormality in the Hymer satellite number E7, this ship will cooperate with the Mermaid to check, everyone will arrive at the post to rest on the spot, and there may be a battle."
Wang Xiaoming looked at his comrades-in-arms who were also unknown with question marks in his head, and complained as he walked.
"What does E7 have to do with us, the guys above don't want to develop all the satellites of Hemer."
"Huh!? I think I've seen it in Nana's room, and E7 seems to have bugs too. ”
The crew called Nana had access to relatively complete information, but Wang Xiaoming was not impressed, and directly excluded the captain and first mate, who were either navigators or tactical squads.
"I won't fight the bugs again, D21's is enough." As a flight pilot, Wang Xiaoming is most annoyed to go to the ground to fight insects, these ghosts are elusive, and they don't know when they will be moths.
The bright bald guy patted Wang Xiaoming's shoulder: "Don't worry, brother covers you, you just hide behind." ”
Many of the marines have both driver's licenses and personal combat licenses, but there is also a difference, the driver's license is a full-time general license except for the BOSS level subsidiary license, and Wang Xiaoming's driver's license is only an auxiliary license with expert-level small aircraft specialization, but his comrades-in-arms admit that he is more talented in fighter piloting. His personal combat license is a scumbag, only an ordinary rank, and his body is weak, so he can only be responsible for pulling the trigger in ground combat.
The Marines were in their respective positions in combat configuration, with several of them patrolling the ship's main aisles, and the rest of them donning outer space combat suits in hangars and waiting for orders.
After resting on the spot for about two hours, the ship's radio finally sounded again.
"Marines pay attention, immediately go to the No. 1 parking area to board and prepare for departure, and the rest of the hangar personnel pay attention to the impact of the hangar opening and closing."
"It's a space operation." Wang Xiaoming said something through the communication point of the combat uniform, put the spear in his hand back into the gun rack, checked the small gun in the holster on the side of his leg, opened the door of the individual weapon room and trotted out.
A few people with him also made the same move, talking in the team channel as they walked: "Strange thing, how could you come to E7 to carry out space operations." ”
The previous notice stated that only two ships came out, and they sailed safely for several hours, which meant that it was not an attack by hostile forces at all, and at this time, it turned out that the E7 was not a landing operation, but let the marines board the fighters.
"Mind it, you'll find out when you go out." Some players with bigger nerves are more open-minded.
The fighter equipped in the Fiorian fleet is the very popular "Meteor" D-type fighter, it is very small, the full load tonnage is only 80 tons, and the powerful fighter is not compared, it is popular in the market is that in the same price of ordinary fighters, the "Meteor" D-type has the highest pilot survival rate - that is, except for the survival rate, other models should not be compared.
As a piloting expert, he understands that most of the fighters in heavyweight space battles are not used for combat, but purely to disgust others or force the other party to use the fighter plane. In this kind of operation, the advantages of the "Meteor" D's small size and many means of driver protection can be easily implemented, and there is no need to worry about hanging up in the next second, and the actual combat level can also be more fully reflected.
However, all of Wang Xiaoming's self-confidence was shattered when he saw the combat prompts in the cockpit.
"An unknown creature appeared in the E7 low orbit area to attack the miniature defense aircraft deployed by our side, and judging from the last intelligence sent by the defense aircraft in the area, the creature used high-energy plasma as a weapon, and it itself is quite resistant to laser weapons. Combat missions of the fighter unit: 1. Collect the wreckage of the defense aircraft as much as possible (the movement track of the defense aircraft has been marked); Second, in the event of an abnormality, it will assist the ship to lock on to the target in the shortest possible time; Third, when possible, use the method of encirclement and suppression by squads to obtain target samples as much as possible. ”
"Xiao Ming! It's a bug, my brother hasn't fought bugs in space, what should I do? ”
Wang Xiaoming heard the voice of his teammates, came back to his senses and replied with a wry smile: "I haven't fought bugs in space either, bugs can kill micro defense planes before they get enough information, we must at least treat them as fighters." ”
During the air battle, Wang Xiaoming was the deputy captain of the Kraken fleet, and no matter how helpless he was, he had to give a basic action strategy.
In the history of the battle between humans and bugs, bugs have always been at a disadvantage in outer space, so there is no historical record of how the bugs' air forces were. Such records have made it impossible for later generations to obtain much effective information, and since humans have not been exposed to over-evolved insect swarms for a long time, it is almost impossible to find people who have had actual space combat with insects.
“…… That's all there is to it, everyone, the hangar will immediately lift the gravity control and prepare to go. ”
Half a minute later, more than a dozen small fighters came out of the belly of the frigate Kraken and rushed towards the E7 low-orbit area.
The low-orbit area belongs to the combat dead end of the battleship, which is mainly to avoid the attack from the ground, the ground railgun in human society is quite outrageous weapons, because there is the earth as the carrier, their size and equipment complexity are far higher than that of space weapons, even if the attack penetrates the atmosphere, it can still leave a surprise to the battleship. The same is true for bugs, which often attack in low orbits when they evolve against humans on the ground or in water.
Based on the above reasons, in addition to the information support from the synchronous orbit (the synchronous orbit is 20 to 40 times higher than the ground in the low orbit), the fighters have to rely on themselves for the first time, and no one knows how much information support can have in the rear in the face of bugs.
"This is the Mermaid fleet, have you received the Kraken fleet?"
"The signal is clear."
"We're going to patrol orbit in the southern hemisphere, and you're going to the north...... F*CK! The messenger of the Mermaid fleet suddenly roared.
"Mermaid fleet, what's going on with you?"
"We are being ...... Rumble...... Ziz. ”
…… Finished.
"Let's go." The captain gives instructions.
The altitude of the low orbit is only one or two thousand kilometers above the ground, and although there are still many gas molecules here, which have an impact on the maximum speed, the fighter can still penetrate half a planet in tens of seconds. During this time, the secondary guns of the two frigates in synchronous orbit fired dozens of times in a row, but there seemed to be no intention of stopping, and everyone in the fleet realized that the situation was serious.
Battlefield data is synchronized and organized very quickly, and the Kraken's fleet has all the information they can get before they approach the battlefield - at the cost of the Merfolk's five fighters.
"Yes...... Bugs with superpowers. ”
The bug's bio-plasma can track metal surfaces, and its ballistic speed is only slightly faster than that of electromagnetic close-in weapons, but with the addition of a superpower that can instantly and dramatically change the speed and angle of inertia, the combination becomes quite terrifying, and the fighter has an acceleration process, let alone the speed of throwing off the bio-plasma in a low-orbit environment.
When a turtle-shell-shaped phantom insect suddenly folded in the direction of the fighter unit that had just arrived, I don't know if it was a coincidence or a sudden inspiration, the fighter piloted by Wang Xiaoming suddenly shot out a laser, and at a position nearly 1,000 kilometers in front of the phantom bug's starting point, it hit the phantom worm and the plasma ball that didn't have time to leave the body at the same time!
Even Phantom Bugs, which have a shell that can withstand high-tech attacks, cannot survive the loss of control of the plasma, and the hit bugs immediately turn into fireballs and fall into the atmosphere.
"Holy! How do you do it! ”
"Concentrate, don't die!" Wang Xiaoming yelled at his teammates who were too big-eyed, "It takes time to launch plasma, staring at all the bugs!" ”
There are still more than twenty phantom insects left on the field, and the fighters are responsible for locking, and they can't hold out for long with the continuous fire support of the frigate's secondary guns, but the difficulty of the battle for the fighters is that any phantom insect in the back may suddenly switch speed and rush to the face or even the back to attack, which is undoubtedly a battle that they will remember for a lifetime.
