Chapter 3: The Night of Steel and Fire (Part 2).
"Sir, the ships have arrived at their designated positions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info just got a link with the Earth side. The colonel's adjutant was making a final report to Ye Zifeng, five hours had passed since the "Stalingrad" fleet reached Jupiter's defensive orbit, and the ship's super-powerful radar had detected the rapidly approaching "Infinite Intelligence" fleet.
"Go to the home screen."
"Yes." The colonel's adjutant responded, and immediately someone pressed the enter key, and the layout diagram on the main screen immediately flashed, and a figure in a light gray military uniform appeared. As soon as he saw this figure, the officers in the bridge who were doing whatever they were doing immediately stood up, staring at the figure on the screen with burning eyes, and Ye Zifeng was no exception, but his eyes were not so enthusiastic.
"Take a break." The figure on the screen spoke, and the clear female voice ran through the entire bridge. When the crew heard the order, their bodies immediately relaxed, and they each returned to their positions to continue their work, only Ye Zifeng walked to the screen and gave a standard military salute to the figure.
"Commander-in-Chief, what's the matter?" Ye Zifeng asked in a serious tone.
"You have placed the Stalingrad so far ahead. Why? The figure remained the same, as if he wasn't asking another important question that affected the entire battle situation.
"The armor of the 'Stalingrad' is ten meters thick, and it is naturally better to attract enemy fire." Ye Zifeng is still serious, facing this figure as if he is facing a great enemy.
"Hmm. I don't care how you arrange your troops now, I only have one order, defeat the enemy, and let those pilgrims have no return. β
"Understood." Fine droplets of sweat began to appear on Ye Zifeng's forehead.
"Hehehe, when did Xiao Fengfeng become so serious, γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Ye Zifeng turned off the communication with a snap, and the screen switched back to the array diagram again.
"What do you hear?" Ye Zifeng turned to the bridge and asked with a gloomy face.
No one answered, everything was as before, everyone was doing their job, and the whole bridge, although people came and went, everything was in order, and there was no confusion at all.
"Very well, Colonel Sakurai, I'm going out for a while."
"Understood, sir." The colonel's adjutant surnamed Sakurai responded to Ye Zifeng's words.
"Hmm." Ye Zifeng nodded and walked out of the bridge.
Turning on the phone, Ye Zifeng clicked on the contact app, and the animation effect flashed, and Ye Zifeng began to look for the person who called him "Xiao Fengfeng" in the contact list. Finally, the word "sister" appeared in the options bar, Ye Zifeng hesitated for a moment, and pressed towards the name.
"Toot ~ Toot ~. Hello. The other party said hello very politely, and Ye Zifeng's heart of asking the guilty teacher before immediately flew out of the clouds, and he didn't know what to say at this time.
"Haha, Xiao Fengfeng, I scared you, hahaha." The other party seemed to be very happy and smiled. Ye Zifeng was immediately shocked by this psychotic aura, and being able to hold the mobile phone was already considered to be Ye Zifeng's profound skills.
"What's the matter, Xiao Fengfeng, what are you looking for me?" The girl on the other side asked with a grin.
"That, please don't call me Xiao Fengfeng in front of so many people in the future, okay. You know, I don't even let my sister call my name in front of the crew. Ye Zifeng helplessly wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"What? Our Generalissimo Ye is still shy? β
"Hey, can you not use the word 'shy' to groom me."
"What are the consequences of using it? I'll try to use it if it's acceptable to me. β
Ye Zifeng wiped his sweat again: "Okay, let's get down to business, I don't believe you called just to laugh at me." β
"It's obviously you calling." On the other side, there was a shy voice.
Ye Zifeng had a chill: "I'm going to hang up the phone if there's nothing to do." β
"Hey, wait. As soon as you say it, I really think of one thing, although it has nothing to do with you. β
"Oh, let's hear it." Ye Zifeng came to be interested.
"Ha, Xiao Fengfeng is good, don't speak, listen to my sister tell you." The other side laughed twice, "The news came five hours ago that the oxygen circulation system on the Jupiter orbiting space station has failed, and it is now being urgently repaired. β
"What does this have to do with me?"
"It doesn't matter if you say it."
"What caused it?"
"It was a cyclonic explosion on Jupiter, and the high-pressure gas even pushed the space station twenty meters out of orbit."
"Cyclone explosion?"
"Yes, a cyclone explosion."
"Cyclones explode too?"
"I don't know, that's what the people at the institute told me."
Ye Zifeng felt a little wrong, but he couldn't say why: "Before the cyclone exploded, did any abnormal signals be detected around Jupiter?" β
"No, the cyclone explosion happened suddenly."
"I recommend sending someone for an examination immediately, to scan everything."
"Huh? What's wrong? β
"A bit of a bad premonition."
"Your hunch is generally accurate, so I'll contact you and ask someone from the Jupiter orbital space station to check it."
"Just tell the 'Nibelungen' fleet to send warships."
"However, Anthony had left with the fleet an hour earlier, and had taken two thousand Thunderstorm satellites with him as he left. Said you wanted him to go to the minefield."
"What? This idiot! Can you reach him now? β
"Sunspots erupted ten minutes ago, you should know that."
"I don't know. So how did we get in touch? β
"We're all on the far side of the earth, and we're not affected. And the performance of the Admiralty's special communications satellites is not covered. The girl's voice was full of pride, as if she had built all the communication satellites.
"Damn it!" Ye Zifeng cursed, "Okay, as soon as there is news, notify me immediately." β
"Understood, Captain."
Ye Zifeng hung up the phone, there was still a trace of helplessness in his heart, and he was about to return to the bridge, when the mobile phone suddenly rang a short ringtone, Ye Zifeng opened the phone and clicked on the information icon:
"As of 23:56 on August 17, 2013, your available ordinary pre-deposit balance is 1.89 yuan and special pre-deposit balance is 0.00 yuan. Text QXYET to 10086 to cancel this SMS, and send HF to 10086 to check your current monthly credit usage for free. β
At this time, the only remaining bit of helplessness in Ye Zifeng's heart had disappeared without a trace. His face was gloomy and trembling, the brushed steel shell of the Admiralty's customized mobile phone in his hand was pinched by Ye Zifeng, and the mobile phone screen made of carbon fiber was also slightly bent, as if it would be crushed if he used a little force.
"I just charged the 20,000 yuan phone bill a year agoγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Ye Zifeng clenched his teeth, but then his whole body relaxed, the helplessness in his heart emerged again, he sighed long, and began to move towards the bridge, still thinking about why the mobile business would extend to space.
"Report an update." As soon as Ye Zifeng walked into the bridge, he immediately opened his mouth to ask about the latest battle situation.
"There were still ten minutes before contact, and EVA said that the carrier-based aircraft was ready to take off. We are at the top of the list. The weapon system is fully operational, and a full self-inspection a minute ago showed that the weapon system is non-anomalous and ready for use. β
"What about Ye Shi?"
"The Chief of Arms will take the next transport plane to the outpost."
"When will the next transport plane take off?" What is the number? β
"Now. The number is DGH7800."
"Well, I'm relieved she's gone. Command the ships to prepare for close combat, giving them priority to the use of armor-piercing torpedoes and electromagnetic railguns. Shiva-class nukes can be used if necessary. β
"Got it, sir." Colonel Sakurai stepped back and delivered the order.
"It's five minutes before contact." A lieutenant shouted.
"The electromagnetic railgun is starting to charge." Ye Zifeng ordered.
"Charging begins. Ten percent complete. Shell reloading. Twenty percent of the charge is complete. β
"When is EVA expected to be completed."
"Twenty seconds left. The ship's five electromagnetic railguns can be charged at the same time. β
"Why is it so fast, I remember it takes five minutes for the electromagnetic railgun to be charged?" Ye Zifeng asked the question in his heart.
"The boat is big and has a lot of energy. And the technology is also advanced. EVA REPLIED.
"Hmm. Got into range? β
"It's early!" EVA said helplessly, "This is not light, even in space, kinetic energy will be consumed." β
"If it's already in range, launch it immediately."
"Got it, Captain."
As the machine started again, the turbid air currents around it began to spin faster, and the "woo" roar was deafening, but this of course would not be noticed, because there was no one on the planet at all.
The text is flickering with lines and curves, and a progress bar on top is moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye. In the inner core, a subtle and unknown chemical reaction is underway, and the red liquid-like substance is slowly accumulating.
The air flow around the device spun faster and faster, thunderstorms began to appear, and blue lightning streaked through the air, and the entire swirling air flow developed to the level of a cyclone. Not long ago, almost an hour ago, a huge cyclone had formed here, and the dense air pressure finally exploded, and the shock wave even shook the space station drifting in Jupiter's defensive orbit, pushing the multi-million ton space station twenty meters away from orbit.
The progress on the progress bar took another step forward, and at this moment, an orange-yellow light swept onto the device, flashing by.
"Toot toot γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»." Sirens blared on the frigate "Kevin", blaring sirens, and everyone in the bridge of the "Kevin" fell silent, all staring at the image sent back twenty seconds earlier on the main screen. Captain Bird, who was nearly fifty years old, stood up from the captain's seat. There was an indescribable surprise in everyone's heart.
"Quick, hurry up and contact the space station, just say find a similar target."
"Yes, Captain." The lieutenant in charge of communications quickly answered, clipped the headset with the microphone to his head, and kept tapping the keys on the mechanical keyboard.
When the last hit enter was pressed, the lieutenant reported loudly, "Send, Captain." β
"Hmm." Captain Bird took a deep breath and sat back in the captain's seat, "Turn off that damn siren." Now the whole ship is on standby, all kinds of weapons are unlocked, ready to fire at any time. β
"Yes, Captain." The bridge was busy again.
"Stationmaster, latest observation. Kevin's said they found a similar target. "In the huge circular central control hall, hundreds of computers are in operation, and hundreds of space station workers are in front of their computers, their fingers clicking on the keys on the keyboard.
"In the future, there will be such things without going through me, and will be sent directly to the commander-in-chief."
"Got it, stationmaster." The station's staff responded to the stationmaster's words, compressed the received images and band scans, and sent them to a Yahoo mailbox in China.
The icon of the mailbox flashed, Ye Kexin moved the mouse, and clicked on the letter sent to be attached. When I opened the attachment again, the computer even stuck.
"Really, a computer of more than 20,000 yuan is unreliable." Ye Kexin pursed her little face, looked at the contents of the attachment carefully, and then, a smile climbed onto her face, "Xiao Fengfeng really guessed correctly this time." β
After that, Lin Kexin closed the email and clicked the forward button. In this way, a document with the classified title of Class A was passed through on a public website and then leaked from a private room in the Shangri-La Hotel on Youyi Road in Harbin.
"Sir, just now the commander-in-chief sent a piece of information from his personal mailbox, and the data level is A-level." EVA suddenly appeared on the armrest of the captain's seat, startling Ye Zifeng.
"A-grade?" Ye Zifeng wondered.
"It's A-grade." EVA replied calmly.
"What's the content?"
"I didn't check, the subject says it's just for you to watch."
The corners of Ye Zifeng's mouth jumped, and the corners of his eyes were full of the emotional faces of the crew, and Ye Zifeng couldn't sit down. turned around and walked out of the bridge, all the way to the elevator, the elevator opened immediately, Ye Zifeng walked in, and clicked the button marked with an X pattern on it. This is the button that leads to the captain's room.
As soon as he walked into the captain's room, Ye Zifeng couldn't wait to turn on the computer, and a huge screen immediately appeared on the originally empty office, and the icon of the mailbox in the corner of the screen was flashing.
Select, click. The screen flashed, and an unread letter immediately unfolded:
"Dear little maple maple:"
Ye Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and then read it with the thought of turning off the letter.
"You asked me to scan the cause of Jupiter's cyclone explosion, and now there's a little breakthrough. The details are in the annex. After coming back, there was a party that said it was to celebrate the end of the summer camp for you and Little Shishi.
Note: Mom and Dad said they wanted to wear formal attire, although they didn't know what formal attire was. Also, although the uniform of the fleet is considered a formal attire, you should never wear it, it will be considered a psychopath. β
It was the first time Ye Zifeng saw such a short letter coming from Ye Kexin's mailbox, and when he was surprised, he clicked on the attachment icon that had been flashing.
A picture filled with cloudy gas popped out of the paperclip-shaped chart, and a lilac machine-like object could be faintly discerned in the middle. The whole body is oval-shaped, with several circular holes similar to vents, and there are no parts in these cavities, and a large amount of turbid gas is sucked into them, causing a large vacuum area to form around the instrument. There are no buttons on the instrument, only a numerical meter, and what is written on it is not clearly illuminated.
"You can tell from the color that this is a pilgrim's thing." Ye Zifeng muttered to himself, and clicked on the next picture at the same time.
It is a constantly scanned graph, with a table of undulating curves on a planar Cartesian coordinate system drawn across a grid, with horizontal and vertical coordinates next to it indicating time and energy variations. As can be seen from the diagram, the energy generated by this instrument is regular, and every hour passes, the energy gathered in it will reach its peak, and finally be released within ten seconds. Although this is only a computer-drawn image, it is basically credible because it is based on the conclusion that was reached after observing it for a period of time. Even if the grid behind this chart is dense, and most people will be upset after reading it, Ye Zifeng is still very keen to find that the latest energy release is surprisingly consistent with the time of the cyclone explosion.
"Looks like this thing is the culprit." Ye Zifeng made up his mind, and then he was about to start writing an email for Ye Kexin to salvage this thing from the surface of Jupiter, but the attachment icon below the email was still flashing, and there were still attachments that were not watched.
"Well, what is it?" Ye Zifeng also clicked on the attachment icon with this curiosity, I thought it would be a report that integrates mathematics, chemistry, space physics, quantum science and English, but at this time it was a three-layer cream cake decorated with pineapples and strawberries, although Ye Zifeng jumped, but Ye Zifeng still observed that this attachment actually made it 10G in size, if it was just a picture, could you use a covered capacity, you know, the previous two pictures add up to a total of only 568M, That's almost a double of the first two pictures combined.
"What the hell is my sister doing?" The corners of Ye Zifeng's mouth jumped, and then he found that there were still a few lines of text under this picture:
"Brotherγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"Brother!" Ye Zifeng exclaimed, in fact, he couldn't blame Ye Zifeng for being so surprised, since Ye Zifeng was conscious, this sister who was two years older than himself had been calling herself "Xiao Fengfeng", and a more formal title like "younger brother" was the first time it came out of Ye Kexin's mouth, ah, it should be said that it was the first time that it was written from Ye Kexin's pen.
"γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»Do you know what day it is?"
"What, days?" Ye Zifeng thought about it carefully, but didn't come up with an answer.
"It's your birthday."
"Ah, my, birthday?" Ye Zifeng exclaimed again, and it is true that Ye Zifeng basically has no impression of his birthday, as if he has not had a birthday before and has to be reminded by others to remember, and has the idea of "Ah, it turns out that today is my birthday".
"This is a birthday cake for you, although I know you can't eat it, but do you remember the metal box I gave you when you were eight years old, that is the newly formed consciousness EVA, which means that EVA was also born on August 17, so you can give her this cake. It's all made up of equations, with an updated database and an up-to-date vocabulary list, and EVA will be smarter when eaten. Your dear sister, Ye Kexin. β
"It's very touching, but why do you suddenly feel like you don't want to talk to her?" Ye Zifeng tilted his head, looked at the cake on the screen, and then knocked on the hemisphere on the foot of the table, "EVA, come on." β
"What's the matter, sir." EVA appeared with zero time difference, and almost at the moment when Ye Zifeng's voice lived, a three-dimensional projector on the corner of the table was projected.
"Come in this monitor, I've got something good for you." Ye Zifeng pointed to the screen in front of him with an obscene uncle's expression on his face.
EVA looked at Ye Zifeng, there was a slight difference in the data set operation, and he showed a flattering expression on his face, and categorically rejected Ye Zifeng's request: "Yes, I want to contact." I'll go first. After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, you go in and take a look, my sister has a surprise for you."
"Huh? A surprise from my sister? EVA immediately shifted to another shape, and the light and shadow flashed into the monitor, "Wow, what a big cake." Is this for me? β
"My sister said it was for you, you can eat slowly, and after eating, write an eight-hundred-word impression for me to see." Ye Zifeng got up, "I'll go back to the bridge first." β
"Well, I know, thank you sister for me." EVA responded in a sweet voice, before starting to nibble on the cake. Ye Zifeng couldn't bear to turn around and walked out, and there seemed to be a scream of cake behind him.
"Commander-in-Chief Ye Kexin:"
"First of all, EVA just ate the cake you gave her, and I would like to express my gratitude to EVA for the cake while mourning for it. After that, I suggested that the machine be salvaged immediately and studied. It looked like it was made by a pilgrim. β
"Whew~" Ye Zifeng breathed a long sigh of relief, "Colonel, let the carrier-based aircraft take off, provide protection for the fleet, and let him intercept the enemy's carrier-based aircraft inside the fleet." Help me connect the ships in the queue. β
"It's connected, sir." Colonel Sakurai responds to Ye Zifeng's order.
"Hmm." Ye Zifeng pressed a button on the captain's seat, "Ladies, there are other captains, I am the fleet commander of the 'Stalingrad' fleet, Ye Zifeng, here for pre-war mobilization. According to the latest data, it was only two minutes from contact, and I believe that the captains of the front line could already observe the fleet of pilgrims with the naked eye. And I can tell you very clearly that you have seen a small part of this huge fleet, and even though we have annihilated a tenth of the Pilgrim fleet in previous battles, they still have such an absolute superiority in the number of the fleet that I have no absolute guarantee that we will win this war. Although this sounds a bit desperate, I have to say that the final calculation given by the ground command center is that we have a 49.9% chance of winning this war, which is already a very high number, although we will still pay a certain price for this war, but I ask you to think about the planet behind you that we have protected for 22 years, and the vast majority of the six billion people living on it do not even know that there is such a powerful force in space protecting them. Among these unwitting people are your family, friends, and loved ones. Once our front collapses, the flames of war will burn to the earth, and the earth, which the pilgrims call holy places, will be enslaved, our relatives will be slaughtered, the earth will be bloody, the smoke screen of the fire will obscure the sky, and there will be no more earth. Is this what you want to see? I don't want to see it anyway. So I decided to stay and use my battleship, my body, to keep the enemy out of Jupiter's defensive orbit. There is still a minute and a half to go before the contact, and this is the end of the pre-war mobilization. β
"With all due respect, sir. Your pre-war mobilization was not taught by a physical education teacher? Sakurai wiped a cold sweat on the side.
"Our PE teacher is very busy, he taught me all the subjects, and it is understandable that I didn't learn this subject well." Ye Zifeng also said from the bottom of his heart. After that, he let go of the finger that had been holding the button, sighed softly, and then called out from the armrest: "EVA, come on." "There was no response.
"Hmm." Ye Zifeng was puzzled for a moment, "The cake is so delicious?" β
Saying that, Ye Zifeng picked up the tablet on the side and wanted to call directly from within the system, but before he could enter the management authority account, the new icon in the lower right corner of the screen suddenly lit up, and Ye Zifeng clicked on it.
"Xiao Fengfeng, I have already sent someone to salvage according to your words, and it is expected to be completed within three hours. As much as I would love to accept your thanks, I would like to ask, what cake? β
βοΌβ Ye Zifeng immediately became alert and stood up, "Sakurai, I'll deal with something, and you will command during my absence." β
"Is this good? Sir? Sakurai hesitated.
"No problem." Ye Zifeng ran towards the outside of the bridge without looking back, but as soon as he ran two or three steps, the bridge suddenly fell into darkness, and the gravity blast door that was supposed to open and close automatically did not open because Ye Zifeng was standing in front of it. There was a slight confusion in the bridge.
"What's going on!" Colonel Sakurai stood next to the captain's seat and shouted, "Activate the backup power and see why." β
"No, you can only turn on the emergency system to supply electricity. All access to the system was denied and it was confirmed that it was a hacker. I need the highest level of permission to see the password he set. A crew member replied to Colonel Sakurai's words in the blue-purple glow of the emergency lights.
"Try it with my permission." As he spoke, Sakurai pulled a mechanical keyboard from the side and typed in his account and password for administrator privileges, but the words "Not connected, access denied" were still displayed on the screen. Ye Zifeng sat back in the captain's seat, picked up the tablet, and sent a message to Ye Kexin:
"EVA was hacked, is there a way to reply quickly, if not to give me that password." With a touch of the send button, the highly sensitive capacitive touch screen immediately responded, and the ultra-high-speed wireless network converted the letter into an electric signal, which was transmitted to Ye Kexin's mailbox at the speed of light.
"Sir, it's already in contact."
"Contact me at the Arms Control Center and let them fight back immediately. Carrier-based aircraft also took off. Ye Zifeng gave up the move of returning to the captain's room and sat back in the captain's seat.
"No, sir, the order can't be delivered." The crew shouted in a bit of panic.
"All calm down. Communicate by wired telephone. β
"But will the wire be cut off?" There was still a hint of concern in the crew's tone.
"No, wired communication is a separate network of its own, and that is for emergencies. Deliver orders quickly. Ye Zifeng said in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir." The crew responded, ran to the wired telephone in the corner of the bridge and began to relay orders, and the entire bridge seemed extremely quiet, except for the shouts of the crew.
"Won't the Arms Control Center be unable to operate weapons?" Colonel Sakurai asked with some concern.
"No, the weapon system on the entire 'Stalingrad' uses independent energy sources, although there is a link to the main system, but the main system will be disconnected from the main system at the moment when it makes an unconventional command to the ship, so now all other weapons can be used except for electromagnetic railguns and nuclear bombs, which cannot be used." Ye Zifeng seemed extremely calm at this time, and there was no panic and worry of the other crew members in his tone, and not even a trace of trembling appeared, which is exactly what Mr. Ye Zifeng valued, he was calm and calm in the face of danger.
"Sir, the Arms Control Center has begun to fight back, but the hatch of the carrier-based hangar cannot be opened, and the carrier-based aircraft cannot take off." After the crew conveyed the order, they reported to Ye Zifeng.
"yes, I see." Ye Zifeng replied, and the crew member returned to his position after giving a standard military salute.
"But I'm still a little worried." Sakurai continued.
"Worried about what?"
"Will hackers control electromagnetic railguns to attack their own warships?"
"No, the electromagnetic railgun and the nuclear bomb have been taken out of the control of the main system and a wall has been built with the main system. And as far as I know, the Pilgrim has not mastered hacking technology, so it must be humans who attack us, so he will not destroy the last line of defense of humanity himself. Ye Zifeng was full of confidence. This is, the mail icon on the tablet flashes up.
"Xiao Fengfeng, is the system already self-closed? That's right, this is the self-healing function of EVA, EVA will self-close itself to isolate the attack of the hacker system. This self-healing only takes about five minutes, so I don't recommend you use that thing. But if you must use it, the password is your birthday. β
"Hmmγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Ye Zifeng pondered for a moment and gave up the idea of using "that" thing, "Start the third backup energy source, at least let the command system in the bridge work." β
"This requires a password, sir." One of the crew members clicked on the interface to activate the third energy source.
"The password is f3489hghegwg." Ye Zifeng said the password word by word, and at the same time as Ye Zifeng finished speaking, the crew member also finished typing. There was a burst of noise from the operation of the system, even if the sound was muffled, but such a large system began to operate, and the sound generated by the hardware could not be completely eliminated. The originally dark bridge was lit up, and the mercury-filled incandescent lamps were lit up again, and the emergency lights were automatically extinguished by this light.
"The system is 23.5 percent restored, and although some of the systems are in a state of inconnection, the doors can be opened. The system starts a self-test and is expected to fully recover after five minutes. β
"Open the observation window."
The protective layer of the observation window cast by the 500 mm thick titanium alloy battle plate slowly opens from the middle, and the vast space of the universe reveals its true face little by little from the cracks in the protective layer, and the bridge in the middle and rear of the battleship can observe all the weapons firing in the front half of the battleship, at this time, dozens of 115 mm quadruple close-in defense guns are spitting out anger, and a fast-moving "halo" fighter plane is hit by a heavy high-explosive shell weighing 20,000 pounds, which instantly turns into a fireball, and the body decomposes. The finished parts floated across the bridge at breakneck speed.
"Engine System Recovery."
The 50-millimeter rotation caused the cannon to spray armor-piercing high-explosive cannon bullets into space, forming a chain of bullets, chasing one "halo" fighter plane after another shuttling back and forth in the fleet. Explosions occurred from time to time, orange-yellow flames illuminated the entire observation window, even the refining operator could not destroy every "Halo" fighter, and from time to time green energy bombs fell on the hull of the "Stalingrad", burning the titanium alloy combat armor plate one after another black traces.
"The armor of the top twenty-three sectors is only one meter thick, and it is expected that it will not withstand the next attack."
"Notify the personnel in that area to evacuate and carry out containment treatment."
"Yes, sir."
"Forty .8 percent system recovery."
"The ship performs dodge maneuvers in a small range to avoid direct attacks from enemy warships as much as possible."
The enemy's first battleship was already close at hand, but those destroyer-class battleships with a length of only three or four hundred meters were like a pufferfish in the air for the "Stalingrad" with a length of 22.4 kilometers.
At this time, the armor-piercing torpedoes on both sides of the hull drilled up, aimed at the battleship and activated the instantaneous acceleration engine, and the entire torpedo suddenly turned into a streamer and crashed into the battleship, and there was not only one such torpedo. With a series of explosions, the battleship's energy shield turned blue to red, and finally shattered into countless pieces with the effect of shattering glass pieces, and the ship was exposed from the shield. For this kind of battleship without energy shield protection, it became the best target for missiles, and a large number of "Nemesis" ship-to-ship cruise missiles flew towards the battleship, a series of explosions, countless fragments tore the whale-like pilgrim battleship into pieces, and the blue-purple fire replaced the previous orange-yellow fire light to reflect the entire bridge.
"The first target was destroyed, and there was no fatal damage to the ship." A captain in charge of battle statistics reported. There was cheering in the bridge.
"Fifty percent system recovery. System recovery begins to accelerate, and another unknown system steps in and establishes a connection to the main system. β
"All let go, that's our people."
"Yes, sir."
"It seems that there is no danger." Colonel Sakurai stood behind Ye Zifeng, a smile on his face again.
"It's not that simple, the tentacles of the 'Shadows' are getting longer and longer, and this is just a warning to us." Ye Zifeng held his chin with both hands.
"You mean to say that there are moles among our people?" Sakurai exclaimed quietly.
"Not really." Ye Zifeng was still pondering, and this was a crew member who reported:
"It was discovered that an 'Albatross' transport plane had been hijacked by the 'Halo' fighter and was flying back in a positive direction, and it was out of the range of the close defense gun."
"Look at the number of that transport plane and get in touch with him."
"It has been confirmed, the number is DGH7800. Attempts have been made to contact him, but there has been no response. β
βDGH7800οΌ This number is familiarγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Sir, this is the transport plane that the Chief of Armed Forces is on." Colonel Sakurai reminded in a whisper.
"This girl, immediately send someone to catch up with him, intercept him, and bring him back to the ship."
"Someone has already gone."
Ye Zifeng looked out of the window again, two pitch-black "Night Owl" fighters approached quickly, Ye Zifeng could even see that the melee combat missiles hanging under the wing of the "Night Owl" fighter had left the plane and flew towards the "Halo" fighter, but soon, two "Halo" fighters came to support, and the advanced "Halo" fighters had already destroyed the "Night Owl" fighters with superior strength, and no one escaped.
"Damn it!" Ye Zifeng shouted, "Immediately track the transport plane with the number DGH7800, and immediately send personnel to board the ship as soon as the signal stops." β
"No, sir, this, it's too hard!"
"I'm just going to push the limits and do it right away."
"Yes, sir."
Ye Zifeng tried his best to calm down his excited mood, and stared at the battle outside the porthole with a gloomy face. This is, one of the crew members shouted:
"Unknown signal source was found, and this was confirmed, confirmed to be ZGH1221 'Night Stalker'."
"Didn't ZGH1221 go missing during Operation Night Raid?"
"The signal was sent from the opponent's largest warship, and because of the modified signal transmitter, the signal is not clear, but it can be determined that it is the signal of the ZGH1221."
"What's the content?" Ye Zifeng frowned slightly.
"Here is ZGH1221, please answer when you receive it, whatever fleet warship you are, please inform the 'Stalingrad' at once, I am Sergeant Jim of the 12th Class of the 3rd Squadron of the 1st Aviation Group, and Sergeant Nicholas. We have occupied a hangar that the enemy cannot recapture at the moment, so please board the ship immediately and carry out the seizure operation. Repeat γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
There was silence in the bridge, and Ye Zifeng was full of contemplation and gloom: "Have you traced the foothold of DGH7800?" β
"Found it, it's the biggest ship. In one of the hangars on the right side of the battleship. β
"Smack" Ye Zifeng stood up from the captain's seat, "Prepare a squad for me, assemble in ten minutes, is the tarmac ready?" β
"Regained control, sir."
"Well, the target is the largest ship in the Pilgrim fleet, which is now tentatively called the flagship. I'll go personally. β
"No, I firmly oppose this proposal! Sir! Colonel Sakurai was startled and immediately stopped in front of Ye Zifeng, who was about to walk out of the bridge.
"During my absence, Colonel Sakurai was promoted to captain, the command of the 'Stalingrad' was taken over by Colonel Naoto Sakurai, and the fleet acted according to the previous plan." After Ye Zifeng shouted at the bridge, he looked at Sakurai, "This is an order." β
"But, sirγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Sakurai still wanted to stop Ye Zifeng, but was pushed away by Ye Zifeng. Ye Zifeng left the bridge without looking back.
"It's time for a mission." An army lieutenant walked into the lounge of the first platoon and fourth squad of the first battalion of the 332nd regiment of the 56th brigade of the 40th space combat division, and saw a group of strong men with squirming muscles all over their bodies playing billiards while drinking beer, and shouted.
"Stand upright." A missionary who appeared to be a squad leader shouted at the sight of the lieutenant, and everyone immediately stopped their entertainment and stood in different directions.
"Take a break." The lieutenant spoke, and the brawny men immediately gathered around.
"Gear up, and in ten minutes there will be a Kitty Hawk troop carrier waiting for you in the B343 hangar on deck 07." The lieutenant looked at the report in his hand and read it out.
"What's going on, sir?" The squad leader asked.
"Someone can explain it to you when you go." The lieutenant turned to leave, and at the same time did not forget to remind, "Don't be late, this is a direct order from the captain." β
A group of strong men watched the lieutenant leave.
"Your prophecy is accurate, Frank."
"What else do you need to say?" Frank smirked.
"Don't talk nonsense, didn't you hear what the chief said? Hurry up! β
Frank first put on a white space combat suit with red stripes, and then put on a light armor weighing five kilograms over the space combat suit. Carrying the supply backpack to his shoulder, securing the magazine box at his right waist, the Batter-ASS-UP-A1T was carried behind him, and he picked up an electromagnetic pistol, weighed it in his hand a few times, and inserted it into the pistol magazine strapped to his leg. Finally, the helmet was put on and sealed with the space combat suit.
"Ready." In the break room, the motorized infantry shouted together.
"Act now!" The squad leader took the lead and rushed out of the lounge.
Wait for me, Ye Shi.
Ye Zifeng said silently in his heart. Beneath the combat boots, the soles of synthetic rubber collide with the metal floor with a clattering sound, echoing in the unmanned metal corridor along with the sound of shotgun bullets being pushed into magazines.
