Chapter 161: It's Gone Again
With McMillan's order, the speed of the 12 T-34Js was increased again, reaching the true ultimate speed.
More than 100 times the speed of sound, what concept, can move dozens of kilometers in an instant, this is the speed that interstellar navigation really needs.
Of course, this speed is relatively low, and if you want to really realize the leap between galaxies, you still need to use a lightspeed converter.
Reaching its ultimate speed, the Coalition attack ship quickly caught up with the Covenant fleet, which was still fleeing for its life, and when the distance between the two was reduced to only 472 kilometers, the Coalition fleet finally opened fire.
Tens of thousands of purple rays of light burst out, completely enveloping a meteorite belt around it.
Huge meteorites shattered apart, split apart in a complete vacuum, turned into powder, and eventually became part of the cosmic dust.
Among the large number of rainbow cannons, five bright pure blue pillars of light ran through them, which was naturally the fire of the plasma pulse cannon.
All the firepower was instantly concentrated together, heading towards the area where the American fleet was located, and sealing it in an instant.
This dense firepower hit the area so wide that the Covenant's escape has become pointless.
"Sir, all our paths are sealed." The observer looked up in some panic and looked at the surveyor's prediction data displayed on the large screen.
"Turn on the backup ion grinder." However, in such a dangerous situation, Colonel Miller remained calm, and he gave an order to all the captains with a serious face, "All warships pay attention, accelerate and hide behind that satellite, and use the terrain to avoid these laser cannons." ”
"Yes!" As a result, the lower end of one of the main ships of the Covenant changed again, and a thin pillar of translucent light shot out.
The translucent pillars of light were able to resist the front of the fleet in time, completely canceling and decomposing the pillars of light of several plasma crushers.
The nuclear explosion occurred again, and the white light shone again, illuminating the entire starry sky. Only this time the light is much smaller than before, because there is only one ion crusher firing, which makes it possible to produce fewer hydrogen atoms capable of nuclear fusion.
"Damn*, they even have a spare one." Colonel McMillan really scolded his mother this time.
You must know that before, the firepower of their plasma pulse cannon had completely blocked the Star Alliance battleship, and it was irrational that the other party could still maintain the limit of firepower when it was dangerous.
"Sir, this central nuclear explosion has once again interfered with the operation of the surveyor, and we have lost the position of the Covenant warship." At this time, the observer again sent a message.
"Sustained indiscriminate fire coverage." McMillan said with a gloomy face.
Tens of thousands of rainbow cannons shattered everything around them, and the universe shone with a light as dazzling as a supernova explosion.
However, these firepower did not hit the United States in the slightest. At this moment, the Star Alliance warships have all accelerated and hid behind a satellite.
"Shh~Woo" A major couldn't help but whistle, and he said with an exaggerated face, "Sir, you are really smart, you can even think of such a method." ”
All thanks to the wit of Colonel Miller, an American with German tradition, who was prepared for everything, was able to resolve the previous crisis.
"We're not out of danger right now." The other major shook his head with a calm face, "The firepower of the Ripper 51 is not as good as that of the other party, so I would have replaced the ion crusher with a pulse cannon if I knew it." ”
"Is the Ion Crusher recharged now?" Colonel Miller asked a fire controller.
"No, it will take 10 minutes at the latest, but all the secondary guns are in place and ready to fire. Sir, do you want to fight back against them? ”
"Don't." Colonel Miller immediately shook his head and vetoed the proposal, "Remember, our mission is to hold back or kill this fleet of the Central Alliance and prevent it from supporting that vein star. So now~ immediately turn on the lightspeed converter for me and enter the jump mode. ”
"Sir, are you sure you want to enter the edge of the original wormhole, it will take a lot of energy to get there, and the previous use of the ion crusher consumed a lot of energy from the battleship." The observer hesitated, and he told Miller the news.
There may not be enough energy, a situation that Colonel Miller did not expect. He couldn't help but hold his chin and think for less than a minute.
"All warships take the order and enter light-speed jump mode."
Then he raised his head and gave the order without hesitation.
The energy problem can be solved later, and for now, it is better to get rid of these 12 crazy T-34Js first.
When it comes to this issue, even Colonel Miller will be a little annoyed.
Their main cannon is an ion crusher, which takes too long to recharge; The secondary cannon is a particle laser cannon, which is too powerful for a shipboard weapon. At the beginning, Miller had proposed to his superiors the issue of replacing the main gun and the secondary gun, but they rejected the proposal on the grounds of financial problems.
The weapons are not as advanced as the enemy, and in the event of a real firefight, they will be at a disadvantage, even if they have 10 more ships than the other side, which is one of the reasons why Miller resorted to guerrilla tactics.
And at this time, a system prompt sounded:
"The energy shield has been continuously maximized.
Look for the wormhole...... wormhole location confirmation,
Lightspeed converter started,
set the jump site,
Coordinates are reconfirmed.
After 10 seconds, enter the speed of light jump, so be prepared.
10、9、8、7、6、5、4、3、2、1~”
Soon, dozens of lights lit up, and 22 Star Alliance warships disappeared over the satellite out of thin air.
Two minutes later, the fleet of the Central Alliance once again passed through the fusion nuclear explosion area and arrived at the place where the original Star Alliance was located.
"They've been here...... Belch...... Sure enough, he fled again. One of the Dawn observers called up the previous data, and he was a little speechless.
"Let those bastards escape again." McMillan's fist squeaked, and he was already out of anger.
Every time they approached the vein star, they were disturbed by this fleet, and their way was blocked; When it was time to really fight each other, these Americans fled.
So it has been dragged in this area, and the electric vein Z43 vein star is simply close in front of you, but it is out of reach.
But even if they knew that the other party was doing this, they couldn't do anything about it.
This is the case with interstellar warfare, where mobility plays a large part of the equation.
"Keep going, take advantage of this opportunity to hurry towards the Vein Star." After Colonel McMillan gave this order, he continued to look at the screen on the instrument with some helplessness.
He knew that the other party would come back soon.
ps: Thank you for the reward of "Won the Library", uh, Saturday and Sunday evenings are more normal.
