Chapter 1: The Song of the Dead (Part 1).
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass
"Electric warfare officer, turn on the electronic warfare radar, prepare for directional communication jamming of shortwave communications on the ground, and at the same time intercept and change the content of the communication. ↖ ↖ ↖ Tweets ↖." The old captain's gaze finally slipped to the electric warfare officer. The newly appointed electric warfare officer shook violently and immediately straightened up.
"Yes, sir!" The electric warfare officer replied loudly, his voice filling the entire bridge. It can be seen that the newcomer is nervous before the battle, this is not a good sign, the old captain is slightly worried, but this is not a big deal, as long as the ability to resist pressure in the heart is good, it will not collapse in the face of pressure, and it is not a bad thing to be slightly excited.
"Take it easy, second lieutenant. Don't be so nervous, it's just an ordinary ground attack, and we're not in any danger. The old captain still opened his mouth to comfort him, not only to the electric warfare officer, but also to every crew member in the bridge. The old captain stood up from the captain's seat and looked at the watch on his wrist, there were still ten seconds before the start of the shelling, and the three-dimensional projection screen following the old captain's footsteps showed the charging of the electromagnetic railgun capacitor bank. An electromagnetic railgun has five capacitor banks, and the two capacitor banks are charged with energy to launch a low-energy launch, which cannot penetrate the energy shield of the Pilgrim battleship, but depending on the situation, the armor-piercing high-explosive shell is fired at the Pilgrim battleship that has lost its shield, so that the shell stops exploding in the Pilgrim battleship and will achieve amazing results. Three capacitor banks are charged with energy to carry out a single launch called charged fire, this kind of artillery can make the cannonball easily penetrate the energy shield of the Pilgrim battleship, but the cannonball will be blocked by the heavy armor of the Pilgrim battleship and cannot carry out a fatal blow to the Pilgrim battleship, so the charged launch is usually paired with the low-energy launch, and the use of different types of special warheads to hit the Pilgrim fleet is the favorite tactic used by captains who have participated in more than two battles to defend the solar system. Finally, all five capacitor banks are charged with energy to fire cannonballs, which are called Super Launches. This firing method will cause a great load on the electromagnetic railgun launch system of the battleship, and if the energy accumulated by the capacitor bank cannot be controlled in time, the capacitor bank is likely to explode, so this firing method is not often used. However, this time the situation was special, and if you want to launch a 300-ton-weight ferrous core tungsten alloy shell to the ground 400 kilometers below, there is no way to launch it except for super launch.
"Three seconds before launch, the No. 1 capacitor bank failed. Emission energy reduced to 106.75%. The adjutant looked at the information displayed on the superconducting plexiglass screen in front of him, and reported a little nervously, "The target has been locked, prepared, and launched." ”
The adjutant gave the order, and in the weapons control center, the chief of the armed forces immediately clicked on the firing contact on the console that kept flashing a red aperture, and the data signal was transmitted in the silica light at the speed of light, and the firing code of the electromagnetic railgun was activated almost instantly.
On the outer body of the battleship "Roger Young". The cyan glowing launch indicator turned red for a moment, and then the entire frigate trembled violently, and a blue-white electric light flashed out from the electromagnetic railgun acceleration track that completely occupied the bow position.
The old captain felt a deafening loud bang rumbling in the bridge, and all the crew subconsciously covered their ears, and the next moment was transmitted to the violent shaking like an earthquake. The three-dimensional projection screen next to the old captain flickered and flickered, as if it might be half extinguished at any time, and the lights in the bridge also flickered and dimmed, and the emergency indicator lights at the edge lit up. The buzzing impact alarm also began to buzz.
The alarm was disarmed, and the capacitor banks two to five began to charge. Prepare for the second shelling. The old captain sat down firmly in the captain's seat, and without waiting for the vibration to pass, he immediately pinched the Adam's apple generator and gave orders to the adjutant.
"Hull Surveillance Officer, immediately send a maintenance team to the capacitor bank to check the cause of the failure and carry out repairs."
"Yes, sir." The Surveillance Officer who received the order immediately began to create a call with the maintenance team closest to the capacitor bank. The captain turned his attention away from the Surveillance Officer and looked at the floor-to-ceiling light side window facing him. The thin white clouds floating on the brown earth were bombarded by three electromagnetic railguns and formed a hollow cloud shape.
"Third officer, scan the ground and confirm the ground situation." The captain waved his finger at the third officer, and before the third officer could respond, the map on the electronic sandbox immediately began to change, scanning the circular radar area. Three huge pits appeared on the plane of the electronic sand table, and the three-dimensional projection image without physical objects alone was terrifying, let alone what it would look like with your own eyes. The captain's brow furrowed slightly, and two subtle vertical lines appeared in the center of his eyebrows. Standing up from the captain's seat, the captain walked briskly to the side of the electronic sand table, flicked the image on the electronic sand table, cut and zoomed in, and an area was extracted from the main body by the captain.
The captain took a closer look at the area, then took a deep breath before turning to look at the second officer.
"Inform the Moon Laurel Base, just say that the second step of the operation has been completed."
"The message has been sent and is awaiting a response." The second pair of fingers typed quickly on the board, and soon a communication was written, and he replied to the captain's order after clicking send.
"The battleship retreated, ready to withdraw to the assembly point, a position to be taken over by the next wave of fleets." The captain ordered the first mate, but before the first mate's answer sounded, the shrill sirens instantly filled the entire bridge.
"Alert, a large number of Halo fighters appear at a distance of one kilometer on the port side, and the target is us." A battlefield watchman nervously reported to the captain what he had detected. The old captain, who had already turned around and wanted to return to the captain's seat, immediately walked back to the electronic sand table, looked at the radar scan image of the automatic tracking of local combat units on the electronic sand table, his brows really rose, and an inexplicable nervousness appeared in his heart, I don't know why a Halo fighter attack group with a number of thirty would bring him so much pressure.
"The whole ship is on alert, all members are in place, and the combat squad is notified to prepare for close shelling." The captain commanded loudly from the bridge, "The battleship turns, the course is 1-0-1, and the bow is facing the Halo group." Medium-range artillery is equipped with air-burst shells and is ready to be fired, anti-aircraft missile launchers are raised to prepare for anti-aircraft operations, and short-range rapid-fire guns and defensive machine guns are all on standby, ready to meet the impact. ”
The barrage of orders did not receive a single response, but tension immediately rose in the bridge, which had already relaxed the atmosphere, and the slowly rotating gears and taut axles spun at high speed. The Roger Young is now a sophisticated combat machine, and its well-trained crew steered it into combat condition in the shortest possible time. The power of a frigate with full firepower cannot be underestimated, but it still can't be overly confident, the thin armor is the biggest and most fatal weakness of the frigate, the power core and the fast neutron value-added reactor are not protected by the "Athena" armor plate at all, once hit by the plasma howitzer on the Halo fighter, it will be a shipwreck.
The tension in the old captain's heart kept rising, and as he watched the pilgrim aura fighter attack group getting closer and closer, sweat seeped from his forehead and flowed down his slightly pale sideburns.
"Don't be nervous, senior. The show has just begun! The captain of the "Sovereign" suddenly thought that the old captain had sent out a video call, and there was not too much nervousness in his tone, but another feeling of challenging the limit. The young captain licked his lips and patted the shoulder of the first mate beside him.
"The adjustment was like 1-1-0, with our port side facing the Pilgrim fighter attack group, the second shelling was delayed for five minutes, and the units moved into combat positions." The young captain stood in front of the captain's seat and shouted loudly to the crew on the bridge, "I have no other requirements, go all out." will not retreat. The power hub injects 60% of the power into the deflection shield, and the engine stalls only leaving the emergency engine ready to turn on at any time. ”
"The enemy has been engaged. Pilgrims fire plasma howitzers! "The port side was hit, but the armor plate didn't break through." Weapons control center, here is the bridge, the counterattack begins with the free fire of the units. ”
The operational commander can bypass the captain's instructions and directly issue a counterattack command for self-defense to the combat command center, and he is directly under the direct command of the adjutant. Although he must obey the captain's orders, he is not under the control of the captain in terms of action.
"The weapons control center received, the counterattack has begun." The voice of the chief of weapon control came from the headphones, and the deep voice seemed to show the courage of a veteran who had gone through vicissitudes.
In the depths of space, a battle is taking place over the blue planet. The halo fighters flashing with purple light shuttled back and forth between the two dark gray huge battleships, and a string of purple plasma cannon bullets bombarded the titanium alloy armor plate spliced into the block, bursting out with bursts of orange-yellow fire, and the two battleships were naturally full of firepower, and the close defense machine gun sprayed a series of 75mm armor-piercing shells chasing the figure of the halo fighter in space, and the close defense rapid-fire gun was spraying 120mm light armor-piercing shells to debris the debris of the halo fighter airfield.
"The No. 22 passage in Area F on the second floor was broken down, emergency sealing was carried out, and the air pressure door was closed. There were no casualties. "This area can withstand another attack, and once a shell penetrates in, it will explode in the internal structure, and if the frame is destroyed, the internal skeleton of the warship will collapse." ”
The nervous voice of the monitoring light sounded, and the old captain's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Manually operate the battleship to move in a small area, do not consider the pressure on the battleship's structure, and maximize the artillery fire as much as possible. Thirty-five percent of the electricity is sent to the deflection shield, which directly crashes into the Halo if necessary. The old captain was also slightly angry in his heart, and such emotions had not come out for a long time. When he participated in the defense of the solar system, he fired at the frigate guns of the pilgrims, and the shells of the plasma cannon pierced the connecting bracket of his frigate, which made the battleship disintegrate from the middle section The old captain was not as angry as he is now, but at this time, the halo fighter in the eyes of the old captain is like an annoying little fly, and he can't relieve his anger if he doesn't kill them all.
The huge battleship began to move slowly, the electric thrusters in the tail began to emit blue-white flames, and the fast neutron value-added reactor was running at high speed, and the huge energy was transmitted from it, providing a steady supply of energy for the power hub to produce more efficient and purer electricity. The clicks delivered to the deflection shield capacitor were gradually withdrawn, and finally disappeared completely, losing the protection of the deflection shield of the deflection plasma, and the "Roger Young" was immediately hit by several plasma energy bullets, but fortunately they were all in some painless places. After a simple compartment isolation, it was fine. The speed of the battleship was getting faster and faster, and the first mate had already stood up from his seat, and with a gentle push of his hands towards the air in front of him, the inner surface of a hemisphere appeared in front of the first mate, and the transparent sphere was marked with a scale with white scales. The first mate took a deep breath and stretched out his right hand. The five fingers were lightly imprinted on the scale mark, and immediately a white halo dispersed, and the battleship control system was completely taken over by the first mate.
"Urgently turn one hundred and thirty degrees to the left, get out of the interference of the Halo fighter attack group, and the rapid-fire guns at close range each find the target and fire a salvo." The way the captain gives orders changes with the change of the control mode of the battleship, and the command mode that originally pointed out the course and entered the parameters into the computer for automatic processing changed as the battleship could maneuver flexibly, and the rapid maneuver in a small area no longer used the course, but used the angle, elevation angle and depression angle. Left-leaning and right-leaning.
The battleship immediately moved, from the two-ship battle formation quickly out of the battleship, the battleship quickly reached a speed of 400 meters per second under the push of the electric propulsion device, this new type of propulsion device will be very different from the previous old-fashioned gas propulsion device, the first jet out is no longer the original energy, but the energy is processed and modified into more efficient electrical energy, with electric energy to stimulate the high-speed movement of the plasma, after acceleration and outward spraying so that the speed of the battleship has been greatly improved. Secondly, the layout of the internal compartments of the battleship, as well as the frame structure, have been greatly changed. The more streamlined frame structure can not only withstand the shear stress of greater acceleration, but also provide more space for arranging more cabins to improve the living environment of the crew. And the main thing is. The compression of the frame structure greatly reduces the use of steel materials, which is undoubtedly a reduction in the weight of the battleship and also reduces the cost, not enough for the Admiralty did not intend to let the battleship travel lightly, in order to maintain the original weight, the Admiralty added a layer of vacuum armor and a layer of passive tension steel armor plate to the inside of the external titanium alloy combat armor plate. However, this layout is only maintained in critical areas, such as the second control center and the electromagnetic railgun, which are destroyed in one hit.
The "Roger Young" quickly turned the bow of the ship, and a Halo fighter did not have time to dodge. Suddenly hit the electromagnetic railgun launcher on the starboard side of the "Roger Young", and the violent collision directly smashed the Halo fighter into pieces, and a burst of purple fire broke out in the dark space and then turned into fragments and fell to the ground. This collision did not cause the "Roger Young" to suffer any damage, the hard titanium alloy combat armor plate easily dissipated the kinetic energy generated by the impact, and the numerous steel frames connected under the armor plate dispersed the impact energy of a single armor plate into dozens of parts and transferred it to the passive tension steel passive armor plate under the vacuum armor.
Slight shocks were transmitted to the bridge. However, no one was worried about how much harm the installation would do to the "Roger Young", but the creaking of the steel frame structure coming out of the passage sounded itchy to the root of the teeth. The old captain was accustomed to such a voice, but the new crew did not get used to such a harsh sound, and blocked their ears one after another, and the work at hand stopped.
"Don't worry, the steel frame structure can still support such a twist, and the battleship will not disintegrate, so bear with me." The old captain pinched the Adam's apple generator and shouted to the crew, "First mate, start the emergency engine to stop the battleship, and we will use gravity to fight with our backs to the ground." ”
"Yes, sir." The first mate endured the unhappiness in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, he called up a three-dimensional projection model, on which a large number of symbols were marked and below, there were corresponding contacts, each of which represented the injection command of an emergency engine. Of course, the first mate is familiar with this, and how to adjust the attitude of the battleship is also a sophisticated skill trained under high pressure, and he quickly clicked on the three-dimensional projection screen a few times, and the outside of the battleship suddenly lit up with a blue light, and the high-energy chemical fuel collision reflected that the engine that was originally used to carry out emergency evasive actions in space combat helped the battleship to stop steadily with its back to the ground at this time, and the seventeen halo fighters that were far behind followed closely, But by the time they found themselves pulled by gravity and falling to the ground, it was already too late. All Halo pilots are desperately controlling the fighter to slow down and prevent it from rushing into the atmosphere due to excessive speed, and the Halo fighter without special armor plate protection or aircraft carrier delivery is unable to withstand the high temperature generated when it rubs against the atmosphere.
The Halo fighters whose fuselage was rapidly decelerating stopped one by one beside the "Roger Young", and although the speed of the fuselage did not decelerate to zero, the speed that was too slow was no different from stationary. A triumphant smile tugged at the corner of the captain's mouth.
"The main electric engine is driven at full speed,told the weapons control center. Swatt off all the small flies around the ship before it gets out of gravitational control. The captain walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling observation window, and most of the moon in the distance was hidden in the shadow of the earth, but a protrusion on the moon's boundary was still noticeable, it was the dock space station suspended at the halfway point between the earth and the moon, from where he had come from and was about to withdraw after two shellings.
At this time, the "Roger Young" seemed to have become a moving war machine. Strings of high-explosive armor-piercing shells erupted from the close-in defense cannon and rapid-fire cannons, and the surrounding Halo fighters that were just about to start out of the attack range of the "Roger Young" were hit without waiting for the acceleration to be completed, and bursts of support exploded around the "Roger Young", and the purple fire was like fireworks, which was extraordinarily gorgeous in the dark starry sky.
"It's out of gravity, sir." The first mate wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported to the old captain.
"All seventeen Halo fighters around it were shot down." The lieutenant received a report from the weapons control center, and the radar next to the third officer showed the same result.
"The ammunition consumption is not too serious, and the same attack can hold out for another twenty-one times, but the degree of damage to our hull has been systematically assessed as mild, with a coefficient of 56. The recommendation is to return to the factory for maintenance, replacement of external armor plates, and repair of damaged hulls. The good news came one after another, and the hull monitoring officer immediately opened his mouth to report, and the parameters displayed on the screen in front of him were not optimistic, although the damage coefficient of the full score of one thousand had just reached 56, but this value was enough to make the battleship disintegrate in space due to a small negligence. The monitoring officer couldn't help but be a little worried, and with a wave of his hand, he called up a three-dimensional projection window and clicked on the maintenance of the capacitor bank, "The cause of the accident has been found out in the No. 1 capacitor bank. It is because the power is overloaded and stored because the power components in the capacitor bank are burned, and the accident is judged to be non-grade. The maintenance team has been evacuated from the site after replacing them with new components. ”
"Very well, so that the electromagnetic railgun can perform a super shot." The captain nodded, turned around and walked back to the captain's seat and sat down, "Send the ammunition from the second ammunition storage depot to the landing gear and deliver supplementary combat consumption to the first ammunition depot to prevent the next wave of enemy attacks." The medium-range projectile artillery was replaced with armor-piercing high-explosive shells to cope with the emergency, the battleship control was returned to the computer, and we returned to the original position. ”
The captain issued the order. The crew of the bridge was busy again, the first mate pulled his hands back, and the manual control interface in front of him disappeared in favor of a huge three-dimensional projection screen showing course information and the ship's attitude adjustment parameters. The adjutant gave orders to the Logistics Department for the delivery, while the two hull surveillance officers carefully searched for the rest of the ship's damaged parts and notified the maintenance team to make simple repairs to them.
The battleship began to turn slowly. The slight distortion of the overall structure of the hull has just caused the computer to make adjustments that limit the speed of the battleship to 150 meters per second. The floor-to-ceiling observation window was aimed at the position it had just left, and the electric propulsion engine in the tail began to transmit power, and the battleship, which had escaped gravity, lost itself towards the assembly point more than 200 kilometers away. The captain's gaze penetrated the heavy floor-to-ceiling observation window and looked out of the window, the "Sovereign" in the distance was a little strange, and the counterattack seemed to have stopped, but the surrounding halo fighters did not stop attacking, and a powerful plasma grenade bombardment burst out of orange-yellow fire on the side of the destroyer "Sovereign", deflecting the shield to complete the effect, and the titanium alloy combat armor plate on the outside could not resist the direct attack of the plasma grenade.
"Quickly connect to the bridge of the Monarch." Seeing this scene, the old captain suddenly became nervous, the inexplicable panic that appeared before the battle began is now finally fulfilled, it is impossible for the new warship that has just been completed for only two months to fail, and there is only one explanation for the "Sovereign" to stop attacking.
"The request has not been answered, sir, the other party's communication system is malfunctioning." The second officer shouted nervously as he looked at the warning on the screen, and the captain in charge of the communication channel on the side also took off his headset and turned his head to look at the captain.
"None of the communication channels can create a link to the 'Sovereign'. Each layer of their heavy titanium battle armor plate was isolated from the interior of the battleship. ”
This is the most common joke in the fleet, and is often used as a metaphor for the sense of security that comes with the heavy armor of the Admiralty's new warships, but at this point the words of the communications officer change their taste. It was really like being isolated from the world, and the crew of the "Sovereign" was really isolated from it by a solid copper wall. The old captain gritted his teeth tightly, looked at the "Sovereign" in the distance, and couldn't help but feel anxious.
"It's a live attack! Prepare for defense now. The deflection shield is 100% activated, and the battleship is ready to evade the emergency situation, all external sensors are activated, and the attack rain scene is detected and immediately evaded. The captain stood up from the captain's seat and quickly gave the order, the attack that could make a space battleship with a length of 800 meters and a weight of 500,000 tons completely incapacitated is not something that plasma weapons can do, unless it is a nuclear weapon and total destruction, otherwise this is a graphite bullet.
The captain's heart grew more and more nervous. Looking at the approaching "Sovereign" outside the floor-to-ceiling observation window, the heartbeat exceeded one hundred and twenty beats per minute.
"Make an emergency turn, start shooting around with a radius of one kilometer around the 'Sovereign', and each Halo fighter must be destroyed with one hit." The captain's gaze quickly fell on the first mate, and his eyes flashed eagerly.
"Yes, sir." The first mate nodded, and entered the parameters of the surround into the screen in front of him.
"Small anti-aircraft missiles have been set up." At this time, a prepared prompt dialog box suddenly popped up on the screen in front of the adjutant, "The anti-aircraft missile radar is turned on for target locking." ”
Several auras on the screen, which were quickly highlighted by the symbols. Although they kept turning to escape, they didn't wait for them to escape the onset of the search radar. Small anti-aircraft missile launchers, already protruding from the hull, have aimed the launch pipes around the "Sovereign". The dust cover was lifted, and dozens of small anti-aircraft missiles with a length of only about five meters burst out of the borehole, which was not found on the old "Hui Yu" class I frigates, which were specially arranged on the Type II frigates with loose internal structure in order to enhance their medium-range air defense capabilities, which also made the "Hui Yu" class II frigates have more than one level of medium-range ability to strike small targets in space.
The missiles flew several hundred meters forward and then split into six waves, each with three missiles in the group. Missile swarms chase escaped Halo fighters in a cat-and-mouse game in space. The high-pressure gas cylinder kept spraying high-pressure gas to change the flight trajectory of the missile, and even if the Halo fighter was flexible, it was not as fast as the small anti-aircraft missile with small size and fast speed, and the six Halo fighters were destroyed in a short time.
"Approach cautiously and be prepared for rescue. The rear deck 'Night Owl' fighters were notified that they were ready to take off for space operations. The old captain gave the order cautiously, even if it was well thought out. The old captain still felt that the order he gave was inappropriate, but there was no way, the "Sovereign" could not be saved with a few small anti-aircraft missiles.
Just as the "Roger Young" was about to approach the "Sovereign", a violent explosion broke out in the belly of the "Sovereign", and the violent explosion made the entire battleship tremble violently, and several pieces of titanium alloy combat armor plates that had been loosened on the outer surface immediately fell off and floated into space.
"An explosion was detected in the vicinity of the life support system." A radarman immediately reported loudly, and at the same time, the stylus in his hand clicked a few times on the portable terminal to sort out and extract the intelligence information for recording.
"Did you find an escape pod?" When the old captain looked at the third officer, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
"No signs of escape pods have been found, no signs of escape pods have been found around the 'Sovereign'." The third officer immediately shook his head after looking at the data displayed on the screen, "Even if there are those who escape, they should be destroyed, and it is impossible for them to escape from the blockade of the Halo fighter." ”
"It's close, five hundred meters away from the 'Sovereign', the anti-collision alarm is turned off, and the manual control system is connected." At this time, the voice of the first mate sounded in the driver's seat next to him, and the first officer stood up from his seat again, and the control interface that had disappeared before reappeared.
"Deflect six or three degrees to the left and prepare for emergency evacuation." The adjutant looked at the floor-to-ceiling observation window and replied, "Five Halo fighters are coming towards us. The Night Owl fighter has taken off to meet the enemy, the melee defense system is 67 percent ready, and a small portion of the ammunition that has just been consumed has not been transported to the intended location. ”
"The ammunition in transit is rationed nearby, and all available weapons are fired immediately." The captain immediately gave the order after listening to the lieutenant's report. But a thought suddenly crossed my mind, like a flash of lightning. The captain didn't let the thought slip through his mind, but grabbed it fiercely. The captain lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head sharply and said loudly to the energy monitoring officer in the corner of the bridge, "Scan these five Halo fighters as a whole to monitor whether the plasma energy is evenly distributed. ”
"Yes. Sir. The monitor nodded and clicked on the input board in front of him, and after a few pieces of data were entered into the preset algorithm, the monitor clicked enter. The electronic warfare radar in the bow of the ship immediately monitors the energy of a 100-by-100 square area of space. In the process of monitoring, the captain walked to the side of the electronic sand table, pushed the three-dimensional projection image with both hands, and tracked the figures of the five Halo fighters to enlarge the image.
The five Halo fighters were arranged in a standard "weapon" shape, and the four Halo fighters defended the middle one closely, as if they wanted to protect something. The captain suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, and the source of the uneasiness was the "dog" in the middle.
"Captain. The results of the scan are out. At this time, the monitoring officer shouted to the captain, and at the same time, his hand quickly clicked on the input board, turning the blurred data parameters on the screen into a specific energy distribution map, "The four Halo fighters in the corner are no different from ordinary Halo fighters, but the one in the middle is a little strange. ”
Then a character was finally entered, and the surveillance officer's right hand printed on the superconducting plexiglass screen, pulled the image from the screen, and then waved it in the direction of the electronic sandbox. The image jingles and disappears into thin air, while the color of the models of the five Halo fighters on the electronic sandbox changes. The white flocculent, which represents the energy of the high-energy plasma, is not reflected in the belly of the Halo fighter in the middle. It stands to reason that the Pilgrim's space battle fleet relies entirely on the energy provided by high-energy plasma, whether it is the opposing system of the battleship or the plasma cannon and fixed defensive weapons of the ship's attack. All of the energy is provided by plasma, and the captain doesn't know how the pilgrim controls the high-energy plasma whose activity is so unstable, but all the pilgrim weapons that the captain has seen, from aircraft carriers to halo fighters, without exception, are filled with plasma energy, and the middle halo fighter lacks the full body coverage of equal quantum energy, which means that ......
"Small-sized anti-aircraft missiles immediately lock onto the target. All the weapons of the whole ship that can be used for close defense immediately open fire, and carry out a saturation attack on the five Halo fighters, the focus of the attack is the Halo fighter in the middle, and it must be destroyed when it is close to the battleship a hundred meters! The captain's heart suddenly brightened, and the root cause of the cessation of operation of the "Sovereign" was paid to the surface. Graphite shells that can destroy electrical systems are the ones who started this incident. But why? A question arose in the captain's mind. How could a pilgrim get his hands on the deadliest weapon against human technology? The main reason for the destruction of human warships is nothing more than hitting the central chain of command or various vital points, or a large number of plasma cannon shells burning the human warship into a puddle of liquid.
But now there is no time to think about these questions, the captain stared closely at the enlarged image in the landing observation window, five Halo fighters with purple light were speeding towards the "Roger Young", led by two who had already entered the defense range of short-range weapons, and five hundred meters was the defense limit of short-range weapons. And the three Halo fighters that followed also all rushed into the attack range of the "Roger Young".
"Attack begins!" The adjutant pinched the Adam's apple generator and issued a command to the weapon control center, and dozens of weapon control officers of the combat squad immediately controlled the control stick in front of them, turning the firing direction of the close defense machine gun and rapid-fire gun, and the next moment, the "Roger Young" was like an angry beast, and the machine gun bullets and rapid-fire shells flew towards the five Halo fighters like invisible bullets. There was no room to dodge at all, but the five Halo fighters still did not give up the possibility of taking the "Roger Young" chance. The formation immediately dispersed, and the five Halo fighters dodged the attack from the "Roger Young" in different directions.
"Target 5 hits, confirm that the target is silent!"
"Target No. 3 hits, confirm the target to silence!"
"Target 2 hits, confirm that the target is silent!"
"Target number four hits, confirm the target to silence!"
"Target No. 1 hides in the shooting blind spot and gets out of the shooting range!"
The next moment the good news keeps coming. The only thing that worries the captain still happens, the Achilles heel of the "Hui Yu" class II frigate is not the power control system that is easily interfered with, but the blind spot of the firing boundary close to the electromagnetic railgun, because there was an accident in the past when the controller misoperated the rapid-fire gun hit the electromagnetic railgun and caused a huge explosion, so on the mass-produced "Hui Yu" class II frigate, the two rapid-fire guns located on both sides of the electromagnetic railgun and the main body of the battleship were canceled. And this has also become the only blind spot in the entire frigate.
"The emergency engine on the right side will be activated immediately, and the battleship will make an emergency evasion!" Without waiting for the first mate to adjust the attitude of the battleship, the captain immediately waved his hand vigorously and shouted at the same time, "Dodge that Halo fighter, the nearest defensive weapon will destroy it immediately!" ”
"But making an emergency evasion is likely to lead to the disintegration of the warship." The first mate hesitated, but the adjutant did not, and any officer of the same rank could take over his duties when the senior officer had doubts about the captain's orders. The adjutant immediately waved his hand to call up the list of emergency engine starts, although he was not a professional battleship pilot. But as the captain's successor, the lieutenant will be involved in all aspects.
Fingers slide across the three-dimensional projection screen, a series of contacts turn from blue to red, and the emergency engine activates instantly. The five emergency engines lined up on the right side of the "Roger Young" spat out blue flames at the same time, and the huge battleship moved sideways quickly like leaves in a torrent, and the halo fighters that were originally flying close to the outer armor plates of the battleship were immediately exposed to the firing range of the close defense weapons.
"Fire!" The adjutant shouted loudly towards the weapons control center with his Adam's apple intercom, and in an instant, several close-range defensive cannons and rapid-fire guns opened fire. The Halo fighters covered by the barrage were powerless to fight back, and were shattered into pieces by hundreds of shells almost instantly.
"Target number one hits. Confirm that the target is silent! ”
The last key symbol on the screen in front of the three pairs disappeared, indicating that the five Halo fighters coming towards the "Roger Young" had all been destroyed. There was a burst of cheers from the bridge, although everyone didn't know why the captain was nervous about the five Halo fighters, but everyone trusted the captain's intuition and judgment, and some of the crew members slightly felt the threat of the five Halo fighters to the "Roger Young" and the sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe that they had just walked back from the Ghost Gate.
The captain also breathed a sigh of relief, and did not cheer loudly like the young man. If it was more than ten years ago, I guess I would have shouted loudly and hugged each other with the crew of my group. But now not back. The crew members of the same group as him are long gone, and his position is rising higher and higher, but there are fewer and fewer friends around him. A faint sadness lingered in the captain's heart, and he let out a long sigh and shook his head slightly.
"Sir."
It was a voice that sounded in front of the captain, and he looked in front of him with some confusion. All the eyes of the crew were on themselves, and everyone was smiling, and their eyes were full of trust and happiness.
"Give orders, sir. We need you. The adjutant stood up, stood upright towards the captain, and gave a standard military salute, then his tense body relaxed slightly, looked at the captain in the captain's seat, and continued in a soft tone, "Sir, you are not alone, you still have us. ”
"yes, we're still here."
"Sir, give the order!"
"Sir!"
"Sir!"
The crew shouted to the captain one after another under the leadership of the lieutenant, and their tones were full of excitement and excitement. Gradually, the captain was also infected by this excitement, he suddenly felt as if he was a teenager younger, changed back to his own youthful era, churning blood kept flowing in his chest, and a smile appeared on his face, looking at a group of young people who were younger than himself in their teens or even twenties, the captain's heart was full of emotion.
"Hurry up, boys and girls, we still have a task to do." The captain stood up from the captain's seat, and said loudly to the dozens of crew members in the bridge with a red face, "How about the halo fighter that is ready to tow and surround the 'Sovereign'?" ”
"All have been shot down, our pilots are the best!" The second officer gave the captain a thumbs up, signaling that the captain's Halo fighters had been dealt with. The captain nodded, then waved his right hand forward.
"First mate, take us home."
