Chapter 12: Honkai Medium Red Mercury and the Sword of the Sky (No. 12) 1
"The attack is expected to begin in twenty seconds, and the warheads are ready to open fire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" The first mate tapped his finger on the three-dimensional projection screen, and after the meeting, he reported the situation to the captain.
"The battleship's emergency engines have been fully activated and can be started at any time, and the main engine will be suspended with the rotation of the earth when the main engine is turned off." The first mate continued with the adjutant's words.
"Contact has been made at the Laurel Base, which will monitor the entire battle." The second officer glanced at the spectrum analysis chart that jumped slightly on the three-dimensional projection screen, and turned to the captain.
"Hello sir." The captain saluted the spectrum analysis chart.
"No need to be polite, Mr. Colonel." The spectrum analysis map began to beat sharply, and a young woman's voice came out, "Focus on the battle, the success or failure of this battle is crucial to our future." ”
"Yes, sir." The captain nodded at the spectrum analysis chart.
"The battlefield scanner is complete, sir, the radar will cover the battlefield." The third officer stood up from his seat, drawing red dotted lines on the three-dimensional projection of the electronic sand table, which is the combat range of the battle, and all non-own combat units that enter this range will be recognized and make an automatic defensive attack.
"Good." The captain nodded, then stood up from the captain's seat, as if he had exercised the qi of the dantian, and shouted his voice to every part of the battleship without the use of amplification equipment, "The battle begins!" ”
"The battle begins command confirmed!" The first mate shouted into the ship's communication system, "The first wave of attacks begins, and the automatic defense system is handed over to the computer." ”
"Order confirmed." The chief of material control of the weapons control center shouted to the controllers of the weapons control center, "Eight main guns on the left and right sides are fired in a salvo, and the electromagnetic railgun is fired in a salvo, and the target is the 'Tower of Babylon' transit space station." ”
"Starboard main gun firing ready."
"The port side main gun fire is ready."
"Electromagnetic railgun firing ready."
"Launch!" At the command of the chief of the armed forces, eight medium-range main guns distributed on the port side of the destroyer "Atlantis" fired a salvo, and the warhead of the armor-piercing high-explosive bomb weighing six tons flew at a speed of 1,034 meters per second toward the "Tower of Babylon" space station 20 kilometers away. Subsequently, the depths of the barrels of the upper and lower electromagnetic railguns also glowed with electric purple light, and in less than a second, two white rays of light shot out from the electromagnetic railgun generating device, like two lightning bolts piercing straight towards the "Tower of Babylon" in the distance.
It seems that dozens of seconds of time were wasted to confirm the order, but in practice, it will be found that the well-trained crew speaks quickly and accurately without jamming every word as if they were radio announcers. The simplicity of English also makes it possible to answer all the commands in English during the battle, and often one "ready" can quickly respond to many commands.
The expected explosion did not appear, and the seemingly defenseless "Tower of Babylon" was attacked by the electromagnetic railgun, and the ultra-high-energy energy shield unfolded, just like the A.T. position in "EVA", and the two electromagnetic railgun shells did not even make the energy shield overload turn red, and the two shells bounced away at a certain reflection angle, and then the armor-piercing high-explosive shells that followed produced a violent explosion on the energy shield.
"The first wave of attacks is complete, the maximum attack value reaches 1121, the attack is invalid, and the estimated loss of energy shield energy is 0.01%." The adjutant looked at the data displayed on the superconducting plexiglass screen in front of him, and said with some shock, "The energy shield energy of the space station is too high, and our shipboard weapons can't break through it at all." ”
"There must be weaknesses." The captain said with a frown, while manipulating the screen in front of him a few times, "Prepare for a second wave of attacks." ”
"Sir, the enemy is beginning to counterattack, and the radar has detected a large number of 'Hummingbird' light space fighters coming towards us." The third mate said suddenly.
"The short-range automatic defense system is 100 percent operational, and the close-in rapid-fire guns and defensive machine batteries have protruded from the hull." "The ammunition supply system is in good condition, the elevators and conveyor belts on all floors are in good working order, the third ammunition depot is open, and spare ammunition is being transported to the various weapon modules. ”
"Prepare for defense, deflect the shield thirty percent on, make a minimum defensive stance, and delay the second wave of attacks by ten seconds." With a wave of his hand, the captain waved away a three-dimensional projection screen that had completed the operation and did not know what it was, and at the same time ordered to the adjutant.
"There are still five seconds left and right for the main guns to be reloaded, and the electromagnetic railgun is 23.4% complete." The adjutant looked at the data on a screen next to him and frowned and reported to the captain, "The second wave of attacks is eight minutes away from starting. ”
"We need support sir." The third officer opened his mouth and suggested to the captain.
"The proposal is dismissed, we have to stick to it on our own, the base does not have the extra forces to help us." The captain looked at the third officer and said, "Demarcate the ship within five kilometers of the center as a locking area, and the missile launcher is filled with ship-to-air missiles for long-range defense." ”
"The order has been given, sir, the missile launcher is thirty seconds away from being reloaded." The hull monitoring officer immediately reported to the captain on the operation of the ship's weapons systems.
"Mr. Colonel, the third officer's proposal has been decided to be adopted after deliberation, and we will assemble two frigates and one destroyer to arrive in the combat area as soon as possible to assist in the attack, and the estimated arrival time is still an hour." The young woman's voice came from the loudspeaker on the bridge, and as soon as the words fell, there was a slight commotion in the bridge.
"Thank you, sir." The captain thanked the floor-to-ceiling observation window, he knew that the laurel base could hear it, so regardless of whether the other party answered or not, he immediately ordered, "The battleship began to move, the course was 2-7-0, and the 'Tower of Babylon' flew around with a radius of twenty kilometers, and the second wave of attack changed the mode of attack, and the main gun on the port side continued to fire a salvo." ”
"I'm working as a chief." The first mate began to be comfortable with the route data, and then clicked the enter key, "The main engine is running without abnormality, but the engine team in the power room reported that the nuclear fission value of the fast neutron value-added reactor of the second engine has been somewhat low recently, and it may be that the fuel is close to the critical value and cannot support the nuclear fission reaction." Second, there is a risk of downtime at any time for the main propulsion. ”
"Don't bother, it's important to fight now." The captain shook his head, the ship had not been filled with new fuel since the Fourteenth Battle of the Solar System, such a risk could arise at any time, and although it made the captain feel disgusted by the appearance now, he still looked at the first mate with a determined gaze, "Now pray that the engine will be turned off when we return to the dock." ”
"The four main guns on the port side have locked on to the target and are ready for firing." First mate report.
"The operating attitude of the battleship has been adjusted, the orbiting flight has been set, and the battleship has been orbiting according to the predetermined orbit." The third officer looked at the three-dimensional three-dimensional projection report on the electronic sand table, "The combat area has been redemarcated, and the spherical space position with a radius of 40 kilometers centered on the 'Tower of Babylon' will be the combat area, and all man-made objects in non-own space will be classified as destruction targets. ”
"Four artillery salvos, fire!" As soon as the captain gave the order, the naval gunnery officer in the arms control center immediately clicked the launch button, and the four main guns spewed out fury in unison, the flame plasma quickly dissipated in the vacuum, and the four warheads with a total weight of twenty-four tons rushed towards the "Tower of Babylon".
As expected, the Energy Shield was passively activated, and the four shells exploded violently after hitting the Energy Shield, creating huge ripples visible to the naked eye.
"Link the camera on the port landing gear and transfer it to the floor-to-ceiling observation window." The captain walked over to the floor-to-ceiling observation window and pushed forward with both hands.
"Transfer complete." The adjutant responded, a new figure appeared on the floor-to-ceiling observation window, the captain's arms were spread, like an iron cloth shirt practicing qigong, the picture on the floor-to-ceiling observation window immediately became larger, the digital visual completion system was automatically activated, and a white tick line like a head-up display appeared on the floor-to-ceiling observation window.
"Sir, enemy planes are coming!" As soon as the captain's actions came to an end, the third officer immediately reported in a loud voice, and at the same time, the enemy attack alarm in the bridge also quickly sounded.
"Prepare for the onslaught, what about the automatic defense system?" The captain walked quickly back to the captain's seat and sat down, fastened his seat belt, and asked the lieutenant.
"Fire has been fired, and enemy aircraft are engaged." The first mate replied in a loud voice.
Outside the battleship, a series of orange fires shot out from different positions of the battleship, shooting towards the "Hummingbird" light space fighter chasing from the rear of the battleship. "Hummingbird" is a bit like Japan's zero war in World War II, in order to pursue the highest mobility and almost completely abandon armor, so the "Hummingbird" has to be forced to dodge the "Atlantis" when it is not close to the "Atlantis" artillery attack, the "Night Stalker" pays attention to armor defense when shooting, so there is no big problem with taking one or two shots, but the "Hummingbird" is not. A "Hummingbird" that did not dodge the artillery fire was hit by the auxiliary balance wing on the right side, and the control engine exploded instantly, and the flames swallowed the entire "Hummingbird" in an instant like popcorn, and the driver did not even have time to scream in the communication channel.
The computer-controlled short-range defense system had a very high hit rate, and nearly 30 "Hummingbirds" were destroyed before they could get close to the "Atlantis", but even so, nearly 80 "Hummingbirds" were successfully close to the "Atlantis".
"Enemy attack begins!" The third officer looked at the image on the electronic sand table beside him and reported loudly, and the next second, the rumbling sound began to echo inside the battleship, of course, the vacuum could not transmit sound, but the inside of the battleship was filled with oxygen and nitrogen mixtures that supplied breathing and maintained air pressure, and violent vibrations and sounds were transmitted to the bridge from time to time.
"Explosion in D-12 area." A hull monitor officer looked at the ship's interior and reported to the captain, "The nearest emergency maintenance team has arrived, but the repair may be progressing more slowly." ”
"The titanium alloy combat armor plates in the F-13, F-14, and F-15 areas are seriously damaged, and the titanium alloy combat armor plates in the B-9 area have fallen off, and the crews in this area have received evacuation orders, and the B-9 area is ready to be depressurized and closed." Another hull surveillance officer continued.
"It's not going to be good, sir." The adjutant said solemnly, "We will be consumed little by little." ”
"No, the destroyer won't be able to beat a group of fighters." The captain shook his head, "The defense system continues to return fire, how is the port side main gun?" ”
"It's loaded." The adjutant responded.
"Launch now." The captain said.
"The third round of attack, a salvo of four main guns on the port side, fired." The lieutenant repeated the captain's words and ordered towards the arms control center.
"Launch, launch." The chief of the armed forces said to the main artillery artillery officer as if urging, and the artillery officer immediately pressed the launch button with a red light on the screen, and another round of salvo fire, still without any effect, the "Tower of Babylon" is like a mountain that is still not moving, and the space elevator connected to it is still running.
"What's that?" The captain shifted the position of the camera, and had not noticed the flickering line due to the huge body of the space station.
"I don't know, the adjutant shook his head, there was no mention of it in the intelligence." The adjutant shook his head, but then news came from the Laurel Crown base.
"Mr. Colonel." The young woman's voice sounded again, "That's the space elevator, the ground is connected to Crescent Island, in addition to the space transport machine, the means to reach the space station is to take the space elevator." ”
"Space elevator?" The captain lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Change the target of the attack and focus the attack on the space elevator." ”
"But it's too far away, sir." The adjutant frowned and said, "The catapult can't be aimed at such a target. ”
"If you can't aim, you have to aim, that's our only chance." The captain unbuckled his seat belt and stood up from the captain's seat, "Third mate, calculate the time remaining to pass this section." ”
"Three minutes to go, sir." The third mate responded after a few strokes on the three-dimensional projection.
"Then within these three minutes, knock that bullshit elevator down for me!" The captain pointed to the space elevator and couldn't help but expose his foul language.
"Yes, sir!" The adjutant replied loudly, "I'll take control of the L1 main gun on the port side, and the quadruple main gun shells have been loaded." ”
The adjutant was like a skilled main gun controller, and he quickly manipulated the control board in front of him.
"Visual aiming is activated with a magnification of one hundred and eighty times." The adjutant muttered quietly, and there was a bated breath in the bridge, and everyone looked at the adjutant, "Aim." ”
The aiming baseline on the screen is aimed at the space elevator twenty kilometers away, from a distance, the space elevator is like a filament flashing with blue streamers, but after magnification, the majestic side of the space elevator is immediately revealed, like a thick steel pipe, the external fixed armor and links that are combined with the modular layers are all huge monolithic cast metal parts, this space elevator is about a hundred meters in diameter, it looks indestructible, but in fact it is fragile and not low, connected to the stationary orbit" Tower of Babylon: "The space station needs to have a great pull so that the space station will not be thrown out by gravity because it deviates from its orbit.
"The computer is calibrating it for me." Fine droplets of sweat oozed from the adjutant's forehead, and he shivered as he aimed at the baseline, but the circle in the middle kept shrinking.
"There is still a minute and twenty seconds to get out of the firing position." The third mate reminded in a whisper.
"Calibrated complete. The first shooting began. The adjutant let out a sigh of relief, trying to calm down his somewhat overly fast heartbeat, and then lightly clicked the launch button. The L1 main gun, which was constantly doing precise calibration, immediately erupted into anger, but at this time, a "hummingbird" fired a "magnetic nail" short-range anti-ship missile at the landing gear under the L1 main gun, and at the moment when the L1 main gun fired, the missile hit the landing gear, although the "hummingbird" was immediately beaten into a bunch of parts by the close-in rapid-fire gun, but the violent explosion also interfered with the launch of the main gun.
"The landing gear of the L1 main gun exploded, and the shell deviated from its original trajectory." The three officers reported loudly, and at the same time, a red ballistic prediction line appeared on the three-dimensional projection, "The cannonball will pass by the space elevator." ”
"Immediately activate the air explosion mode, which will automatically explode when approaching the space elevator." The captain quickly gave the order and tried to salvage the defeat.
"It's already being done!" The adjutant responded anxiously, his tight teeth gurgling, "It's set!" ”
As soon as the voice fell, four sparks immediately erupted around the space elevator in the distance, and then a burst of metal parts fell off, and the space elevator kept flashing electric lights on the line, and then the elevator had a large-scale power outage, but the collapse ended here, and the elevator did not collapse.
"The main body of the elevator is intact, but the internal structure has collapsed more seriously." The third officer did a radiographic scan of the space elevator, "I am afraid it will take a month for them to use the space elevator again." ”
The space elevator's huge figure obscured the space elevator, and the battleship moved away from the firing position.
"That's enough." The captain let out a sigh of relief, "No matter what, we also have to leave some assets for the Admiralty, what we have to accept is not a ruined earth, but a new home." ”
The "hummingbirds" around the battleship have been wiped out, and before there is no new situation, the "Atlantis" is also helpless against the "Tower of Babylon" transit space station, and all attacks are of no use to the "Tower of Babylon" energy shield, except for cruising around and waiting for reinforcements, the "Atlantis" can do nothing.
The military green camouflage painted containers are stacked like a small mountain on this small new military port, waiting for huge military cargo ships to transport them to an unknown secret military base, but it is clear that several huge ships moored in the military port do not mean to be loaded now, probably just a few days after entering the port, the captain will allow the crew to take a few weeks off on land, and then return to the freighter to see that it is a nearly year's work.
Ye Zifeng cautiously walked forward on the passage in the container group, the rifle in his hand was equipped with an optical sight module and a muffler, which was used for close-range assault operations, and there was no Kawasaki Kanae figure beside him, before entering the military port, Ye Zifeng asked Kawasaki Kanae to find the hidden commanding heights by himself. The function of the sniper is not to raid but to shoot stealthily, such as the weird actions made by some FPS players that clearly violate the rules of combat in reality. But that's just a game, holding a sniper rifle weighing dozens of kilograms in reality is just for entertainment, but in reality, no one really dares to do this, even the sniper elite in the special forces will not compress the combat distance of sniper operations to less than 500 meters, less than 500 meters, sniper rifles lose the advantage of concealed shooting and long distance.
