Chapter Eighty-Eight: Destroying the Stars!
The active enemy seeking signal will be detected by any ship within a radius of several million kilometers and can be counterlocated immediately, so under normal circumstances, pirates will not easily turn on the active enemy because they cannot control the overall situation.
But danger always comes with benefits, when the active pursuit of the enemy is opened, the effect of any stealth means will be greatly reduced, if it can be close to 400,000 kilometers, it may be discovered at a distance of 2 million kilometers when it is actively seeking the enemy.
The "fooled" gunboats in front were specially selected "brainy" pilots, and their loss of contact showed that the fleets were obviously hostile, so there was no need to worry about hitting the wrong people.
The orbital fleet led by Kareda is very straightforward, since the enemy does not have an absolute advantage in numbers, the area around the completely investigated Hemer Star is her home field. Judging the approximate movement speed of the other side by the time difference between the two gunboats lost contact, it is estimated that when they have arrived at a suitable position, they can take the initiative to seek the enemy to grasp the intelligence first, and the initiative is their own.
Because Haimer Star is a gaseous star, the outer layer is a thin atmosphere, this part will weaken the effectiveness of high-energy weapons, the fleet will not enter, and the opponent's route is not directly opposite D21, and there is no blind spot for the enemy.
"Your fleet is approaching private territory, we suspect that your fleet has bad intentions, please immediately recover all fighters and leave the range of Hemer Star by the same route, otherwise we will not rule out the possibility of using force to expel you."
After the orbital fleet's initiative to seek the enemy was opened, the invading fleet wanted to continue to pretend to be an unwitting passing fleet, but it was directly issued an official ultimatum.
Retrieving the fighter jet and wasting time on a call to get a chance to get closer seems feasible, but it is the worst option that can be adopted in the current situation. In the case that the orbital fleet has already begun to seek the enemy, it is believed that all the ships of the orbital fleet have already locked on to the target when the conflict is launched, and even if the sudden attack is fierce, I am afraid that it will not take any advantage.
There is no choice but to follow the open and take the initiative to seek the enemy, and the front is just up.
When the Enemy Seeking mode was turned on, the owners of the attacking fleet almost cried!
They had done a lot of preliminary work and came with confidence, but at this time they began to regret that they should not have gathered a fleet that was barely stronger than each other for more benefits.
It turns out that there are many stones in the halo of Hemer, whose main elements are metal, and some of which have a small amount of radiation. Similarly, some of the many moons of the Helmer Star do not have an atmosphere, and from time to time there are base metals such as open-pit iron ore and copper ore. When taken together, the enemy radar is unable to accurately select the correct target from a large number of suspicious objects in a short period of time.
The only thing they have confirmed now is the port on the D21 orbit, but if they want to make a fortune, this thing can't fight yet!
No matter how you look at the disappearance of the entire target fleet, it is an ambush, not a simple warning. The shipowners began to suspect that there were ghosts in their ranks, but the enemy was just holding back for the time being.
There are only a few minutes left to confront the D21 directly, and that is likely to be the moment when they are attacked.
There are still calm guys in this fleet, and seeing that the situation is already very unfavorable and everyone is likely to be a little impetuous, he stood up to appease everyone's emotions in the united front band:
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems to be unfavorable now, but you are very clear about the strength of the target, and it will definitely not be stronger than us. The remaining few minutes are enough for the system to identify at least two or three targets, and there is no possibility of passively taking a round of beatings, and when they fire, can't you lock the target? ”
"No. 3 is right, the battle of the Grand Fleet cannot be completed in three or five minutes, and relying on small means can only take a little advantage, everyone appeases the crew, we will definitely take the target."
The words of the two had just had some effect, and there was an explosion in the formation in front of them.
It's empty thunder! Only this shady thing can make the fighter explode for seemingly no reason.
"All fighters slow down and clear the minefield! The fleet slows down and maintains formation, paying attention to missile strikes. ”
No. 1 immediately issued an order, such a large fleet does not need to care about missile attacks at all, but except for the last few seconds when the tracking guidance is activated, the air mine can hardly be detected by means other than optical imaging, and it is even more dangerous. The difference in strength between the two sides cannot reach the crushing level, and the air mines cannot be taken advantage of by any means before the war with the enemy's main fleet. It doesn't matter if you postpone the engagement time for this reason, anyway, MR251 can't find support for the target that shouldn't be there every day, and postponing the engagement can also allow the system to better dig out the target fleet one by one.
It is very troublesome to eliminate air mines, although the air mines will explode when touched, but they themselves do not have even a weak magnetic signal, and the size is only about 0.2 to 0.3 cubic meters. What's even more outrageous is that it is currently on the completely backlit side of Hemer, relying only on the little reflected light from the halo belt and the outer rarefied atmosphere, making the search more difficult.
Because they couldn't judge how big the minefield was, and they were unwilling to retreat and go directly to D21 from the other side, the fleet behind had to carefully adjust their speed to delay the time to get close to the minefield, so that the fighters could better ensure safety.
The demining work lasted for half an hour, and after nearly 100 warplanes cleared more than 1,000 empty mines on the passage ahead, they repeatedly confirmed their safety before the fleet accelerated to the target area again.
If they knew that there were less than 2,000 empty mines in the entire Hemer Star for millions of kilometers, they might be able to kill a few shipowners directly.
After a significant amount of time in the airfield, the reconnaissance system finally identified a total of twelve targets from the surrounding environment, three on the back of D21 and the rest in the vicinity of the D23 satellite.
"Two, use that method, I hope it will have the effect you said." Nine goals is not a small number, and if it can be solved, it can completely change the balance of power.
"Hmph, then let you see the real means of warfare."
No. 2 said a lot, as if he had really participated in some national war, but in fact, he only knew the tactics from the information, and whether he was really useful and used it.
Not long after the call ended, small objects flew out from both sides of a ship with a semicircle on its sides, adjusting its attitude in the air and flying in the direction of the outside of Hemer, and the whole launch process lasted for several minutes.
When the number of frigates reaches more than three and is piled up, missiles and other support weapons are of little use only by relying on a large number, and when there is no external interference, the interception strength of the three frigates can almost guarantee that no more than one missile will explode at a distance of 1,000 kilometers in any case, which ensures that the electromagnetic effect will not achieve the maximum effect on all ships in any case, let alone ordinary warheads.
The missile targets that were launched were not the nine warships near the D23 satellite at all, but ...... D23 itself!
That's right, the second is someone who has some connection to Pan Wen, the owner of the Basedo-class Star Destroyer. This time, he's going to change the tide of battle with the starship's special abilities. D23 is a small rocky surface satellite with no atmosphere, only one-third the size of D21, which is suitable for the performance of a star-destroying ship.
Ten minutes passed, and D21, which had already risen from the other side of Hemer, sent two more warnings, and announced that a strike was about to be launched on the fleet, of course, no one paid attention to him, and the owners of the entire fleet were waiting for the final result of the little things.
After approaching D23 at high speed, the missile group reduced its speed, attacking D23 from the other side of the nine target ships, and the thousands of missiles were divided into two waves, the first wave directly blew up some huge holes on the surface of the satellite, and the latter directly drilled into the holes when the dust and debris had just risen, and then ...... There seems to be no response.
The nine target ships seemed to have discovered the situation, and as they moved away from D23, they launched a direct main gun attack on the fleet group.
It's a pity that D23's position is farther than D21's away from the invading fleet, and at this time, the distance of nearly 800,000 kilometers leaves enough time for the target to react, except for a bright light on the edge of the shield, this attack has no result.
In the united front band of the invading fleet, someone scolded: "What the hell are you fighting? None of them reacted at all! ”
At this distance, they didn't take each other seriously at all, but what was the matter with their own people?
"What's the hurry, that's the planet! It's not a stone in your house. "The tone of the old man who was the second has also changed.
"Okay, then it depends on what you get ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, D23 began to change dramatically.
The surface of the satellite cracked in several places, revealing a semi-liquid substance with red light inside, and in just a few minutes, the cracks spread all over the entire D23, and the red part was still devouring the normal surface.
Hiding in the fleet somewhere in the halo, Kareda couldn't help but be moved, the attacking fleet would be willing to pay this cost to gain a tactical advantage, it was simply unexpected.
"See, don't worry about the nine ships for the time being, let's go and kill the D21 orbit first, and occupy the port."
"Don't you really care? What is the principle? "Someone raised a lot of questions about ship owners, and even though they were born in a high-tech society, they couldn't know everything.
"Hahaha." No. 2 smirked triumphantly, and realized that everyone was a black shadow and a number, and others couldn't see his expression, and tried to explain in an easy-to-understand way, "I turned the D23 into a big magnet, and they have to leave at least 100,000 kilometers to get back the accuracy needed for the main artillery attack, and at their current speed 100,000 kilometers is enough for them to fly." ”
"The core bomb you used? Which factory will sell this to you? "A direct attack on the planet's core is a serious violation of the Interstellar Covenant, and the black manufacturers of Segeis don't have the technology to make such a completely banned thing.
"Of course, it's the channel provided by 'that person' who wants us to do something, don't you give us any help?"
Someone who said this was cold all over his body, "that person" was the relative of the target chick, and he even took out this thing in order to kill the target: "Damn, that little slut will sell us sooner or later, and we have to plan well after this is done." ”
Seeing that these guys seemed to be chatting, No. 1 quickly stopped: "Okay! Don't talk nonsense, get ready to fight. ”
In the current situation, when they reach the position where they can attack the D21 orbit, they must be in the situation of being encircled, but at this time, no one is worried about whether they are encircled or not, and the nine battleships cannot be targeted, which is enough to completely change the balance of strength between the two sides, and the rest is to see who is lucky enough to survive to the moment of sharing the spoils after the war.
……
When the invading fleet was full of war, a more personal conversation was going on on the other side.
"Honey, what do you want me to do with them?"
