"Target: Forward Native Species Aggregate, Concentrated Heavy Ship Missile Launch!"
With Hu Yan's order, as well as the crew on the bridge and Bahamut's own operations, large pieces of armor on either side of the bow of the Bahamut were opened, and two missiles facing it were ejected from it with launch brackets. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Then, the two heavy anti-ship missiles flew towards the enemy that had been locked on before, located in front of the battleship.
In this regard, the aggregate of the native species that was about to be hit by the missile in front did not rely on wisdom, but instinctively, shooting ~ a lot of vine arrows to intercept the two missiles.
In fact, the more high-end the battlefield, the smaller the scope of application and the frequency of the missile. Because compared with instantaneous energy weapons, projection weapons with high cost performance, missiles really have too many shortcomings.
Although the missile is likely to be the most powerful of the single attacks. But being able to intercept them easily is one of the most important fatal problems, because the cost of a missile per shot far exceeds that of other weapons, and if the accuracy and performance are really not guaranteed, there is no need for it to exist.
This can be seen from the history of modern scientific and technological military development, although the existence of missiles still has a fairly strong threat to warships, but if you want to successfully threaten the enemy with missiles, you must either exceed the enemy's reaction time (supersonic missiles), or you can directly drill the enemy's loopholes and blind spots (ultra-low-altitude missiles).
Perhaps modern warships have all kinds of shortcomings and defects, but in the interstellar age, the various anti-aircraft phalanx installed on the battleship can really hit as many conventional missiles as there are coming. What's even more extreme is that you can even put a defensive cover on yourself directly after going to the battlefield, and you don't need to defend against the enemy's attack, you only need to detonate the missile.
Once this happens, instead of using missiles that can sink the opponent with a single shot but never hit, more people will still use projectile and energy weapons, which are less powerful, but at least can do real damage.
From here, it can be seen that missiles are actually the most important weapons with spears and shields to some extent. If a missile can bypass the opponent's defensive circle, the missile is the best weapon, but if it can't, it is the worst weapon.
So although the higher you go, the less common the use of missile weapons becomes, but in fact, after reaching a peak, you will find that missile weapons have not disappeared, but have become more terrifying.
The development of missiles is inevitably aimed at defensive measures against them, so the simplest example is, since it can't penetrate your air defense circle, then I won't hit it, and it is enough to directly let the missile's killing range exceed your air defense range (nuclear missile). Or simply do not go from the main plane, but directly bypass the air defense circle (jump missile) from other spaces. Even Fu Dao Civilization simply installed a force field directly on the missile, and a missile was pushed over by a force field wall......
Moreover, unless they are used for auxiliary functions such as inducement and containment, and there are also conventional missiles that simply form a sea of missiles, the more missiles are aimed at effectively killing the enemy, both in terms of technology and cost, it is extremely exaggerated. After all, since a lot of money has already been spent on this (the cost of missiles...... The traversers who were able to launch missiles on the sky ~ the continent in World War II, why don't you go to heaven? Even if you have to spend a little more, you have to make the money worthwhile.
It can be said that the current GM research institute is facing a war situation that has been in a state of ineffectiveness of conventional missiles from the very beginning. It is not that conventional missiles fail to achieve results, but that large conventional missiles aimed at important targets are intercepted and destroyed by the wave of the native sea, which can be said to be the first sea, almost before they reach the effective killing range. Although the killing range of a heavy ship-to-ship missile can be guaranteed, if it does not hit a valuable target, it is simply a waste, after all, the cost of a heavy ship-to-ship missile is enough for Xue Feng and others to build a small missile that is enough to kill all targets within the killing range several times.
In this case, the Bahamut still launched the ship's heavy missiles, and naturally has confidence in these two missiles. The two heavy ship-to-ship missiles did not live up to the expectations of others, and began to evade them with the help of their central thrusters (the missiles were large enough) before they detected the interception.
However, it is basically too late, and the speed of the missile does not need to be said, even if the speed decreases because it is a heavy missile, but it is not something that can be turned at will like a PT. Therefore, it is seen that these two missiles are about to rub and collide with the outermost vine arrows. Although it was not a direct hit, the damage was enough to detonate the two anti-ship missiles in advance.
Just before the collision, suddenly the vine arrow seemed to hit something, and a translucent shield suddenly appeared in the front of the two anti-ship missiles, and then, as if the missile had been pushed, it flew over the piercing of the vine arrow safely.
That's right, in order to keep the cost of heavy ship-to-ship missiles from going down the drain, Xue Feng and the others stubbornly depicted an offset defensive magic array in it. As a result, the missile will not be intercepted and detonated in advance in the face of an attack such as a grazing bomb.
Well, it's an offset defensive magic array, not an absolute defensive force field. At present, Xue Feng and the others have not given the missile, even if it is the strongest heavy anti-ship missile at this stage, the residual power of the force field generation device, even if it is the defensive magic array, the choice is the offset class with the lowest cost and the lowest energy consumption.
At this point, the costs were not in vain, and after dodging a halfway interception of the Native Species Aggregate, two heavy ship missiles successfully hit the Native Species Aggregate located in front of the Bahamut. Then, under the illumination of a ball as bright as the sun, at least five or more native species in the nearby area were turned into dust, and all other native species in the vicinity were also dissipated.
Although the space-time splitting missile is indeed extremely powerful, it can destroy almost any enemy within the effective killing range. However, in the face of an enemy with a certain degree of immortality such as the Native Species Aggregate, the effect of the Space-Time Splitting Missile, which relies solely on spatial cutting and some additional damage, will be reduced by countless times, just like skeleton soldiers will have a huge bonus in the face of bows and arrows. Therefore, in the face of these enemies, the shaped energy missiles developed by Xue Feng and others for large-area destruction can give them more effective damage.
As for the reason why the proto-species aggregates were bombarded with heavy ship-to-ship missiles, there is naturally no need to say much, although as the monsters of sin, the strength of these aggregates is probably the weakest, but the characteristics of the huge body, the immortality and the need to fight again are really good at blocking the road.
Although the four special secondary guns of the Bahamut are still in full swing, the slow attack speed (at least faster than the ancient siege crossbows...... ), and the fact that it can only hit one target per shot, weakens the one-hit kill effect of this secondary cannon against aggregates countless times.
Thus, shortly after departure, the Bahamut was surrounded by a large group of aggregates, and the siege crossbow was no longer locked on to the target at all, but aimed at the front of the battleship, and did not waste any time in bombarding it, opening the way for the Bahamut as much as possible. Eight secondary guns, as well as anti-aircraft guns on both sides of the ship, fired incessantly, and even so, the battleship was blocked in its path.
Ascending to the heights? Ahem, I'm sorry, the height of this different dimension is actually quite limited, and the height of a huge warship of 3,000 meters is at least about five or six hundred meters, and the space occupied is really not small. The most important thing is that in this extradimensional space, native species can fly. That's right, this is their home turf, so what's so surprising that they can fly here?
In fact, if the Bahamut had completed the installation of the main guns originally planned, the situation would have been a little better now. After all, while it's definitely not as powerful as the Steel's Toronim Burst Cannon, it's enough to take out at least two or three aggregates every half minute (twelve barrels in turn).
Just two heavy anti-ship missiles did not open up the way, but this is far from the limit, followed by the previous two anti-ship missiles, are located behind the original launch port of the two launch ports ~ shot out of the other two focused heavy anti-ship missiles.
Having said that, in order to make up for the lack of high-power weapons, Xuefeng and the others directly ~ connected ~ simply doubled the scheduled heavy missile launchport. As for where did these missile launch arrays come from?
Do you remember the original Shiranui and Kuroshio numbers?
That's right, in order to complete the construction of the Bahamut in such a short time, Yukikaze and his group of machine girls frantically dismantled the joint air defense ship into pieces, and then installed all the useful parts on the Bahamut (although it will take some time to disassemble and refit, but compared to construction, the speed is still much faster). At the beginning, when it was decided to dismantle the battleship, although Shiranui and Kuroshio agreed, they still had extremely complicated feelings, and even said goodbye to their comrades, and said goodbye to themselves but they were still alive (the battleship is equal to the exclusive body of the machine girl) and so on, and in the end, they didn't participate in it, but took charge of other affairs.
Well, so the launch ports of heavy missiles in Bahamut are not four, but forty!
It's just that although there are so many heavy missile launches, the Bahamut is loaded with less than 200 heavy ship-to-ship missiles. Therefore, if you can save money and save the missiles, you will need more heavy missiles to open the way on the road after that.
The anti-aircraft guns on the Bahamut were naturally inherited from the Shiranui and Kuroshio, and unless they were partially distributed in necessary places, most of them, along with the original energy pipelines, power sources and other equipment, were concentrated on both sides of the Bahamut.
Thus, a considerable part of the anti-aircraft fire can be seen concentrated on the protruding area on both sides of the standard hull of the Bahamut. It's just that, compared to the 3,000-meter-level hull of the Bahamut, after being turned into an add-on, only two or three hundred meters of this protruding air defense area remains, but it doesn't seem too abrupt, or because the aesthetic concept of Xuefeng and others is not bad (Anne was kicked to the side), and the protrusion of the short wing is still quite beautiful~.
As for Shiranui and Kuroshio, they naturally came with them, and when dealing with the native species in close proximity, most of the pressure was borne by the two of them. That's right, Shiranui and Kuroshio were the anti-aircraft fire manipulators of the Bahamut at this time!
Just as the Bahamut blasted out of a road again at this moment, and flew forward at an unabated speed, suddenly the bridge crew reported: "The flank of the battleship has found a close enemy!" The native species aggregate is approaching the warning area ......! ”
Before the crew member could finish his report, a shaking, not too violent, struck the entire battleship. Because of its absolute defensive field, even if it was attacked, the Bahamut was never shaken. And the current vibration, coupled with the decrease in speed, clearly shows that an idea proposed by Xue Feng and others has come true.
"Confirm that the vines of the aggregate are beginning to wrap around the force field! We were caught~! ”
Since the aggregate can shoot vines as sharp arrows~, it can naturally use these vines to wrap something. After all, that's one of the real uses of vines. And now, because the Bahamut's fire is concentrated in the front, the native species aggregates on both sides are approaching a dangerous distance. While the Aggregate's attack is not worth mentioning in the face of the Bahamut, its possible vine entanglement is the most troublesome and deadly offensive.
The hundred-meter-tall aggregate of native species is a formidable enemy for both PT and Noah-class warships, but for the huge Bahamut, it is nothing more than a dwarf worth mentioning. But when the first aggregate wraps its own vine, it means that more native aggregates will be able to wrap around it. Perhaps in the face of the strong power of the Bahamut, a dozen aggregates of native species did not play a role at all, but what about hundreds, thousands?
Once dragged here, not only the end of the Bahamut, but also the end of the earth and even the universe will come.
However, for this reason, Xuefeng and others have long been prepared for this situation:
"The first wave of PT troops will attack and clear all the vines for us!" (To be continued.) )
