Chapter 2: The Invisible Enemy
The 10-kilometre-long ship floats like a narrow island in the Atlantic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the sea and the sky, its existence destroys the harmony of nature.
The USS Wanderer, the former flagship of the 2nd Fleet, had to land on Earth for some reason. In the middle section, surrounded by layers of composite armor, is the command center of the giant ship.
"General, you're too casual!" , the tall, thin and mean chief of staff raised his voice very high, and his face was full of mourning his misfortune and anger.
"What do you say, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff?" , on the command chair sat the round captain, his face was shiny and lively, he was a small snack shop owner. The man had no scruples about nibbling on the drumsticks while responding to the anger of the human form, without any nervousness.
"You don't realize the severity of the situation!" , Kim Jong-tae's eyes are like blades.
"I think everything is going well." , Zhang Zhen chewed chicken attentively, as if he was treating a cherished career.
"The Wanderer has lost its flagship status, aren't you sober?" , the honorific title was omitted from the words, and he was about to lose it.
"Isn't that great? The backbone of the Wanderer will blossom throughout the army, and we will be able to eat anywhere in the future. ”
Seeing that smile that didn't matter to himself, Kim Jong-tae was depressed for a while. He grabbed the heartache and thrashed it.
"Oops! What's wrong with you? Who you off like this ... Yuanpan hurriedly stood up and helped.
Hearing his last words, Lao Jin finally couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground.
"Quick! The military doctor, the chief of staff fainted. ”
There was a great chaos on the bridge. This is no less than a major event of the enemy attack, and the bridge crew, composed of the vast majority of rookies, looked at the busy medical guards curiously, and most of them seemed to be full of curiosity when watching the show compared to the nervousness that made people shudder.
In front of the communications console, the liaison non-commissioned officer turned off the alarm that kept beeping. He didn't even glance at it, the alarm was not an in-board emergency announcement, but from a Viking-class assault ship on patrol.
"You, don't be stunned there, come and help!"
"However, I am also responsible for external liaison."
"Don't worry so much, first lift the chief of staff on the automatic stretcher. What about military doctors? Where are the medics? Call her ... ”
Enemy encounters, identified as Emergency, glow red in the corner of the console until someone discovers its presence, and ten minutes have passed.
。。。。。。
Earth-Moon Lagrange point. This is a natural graveyard in the universe, and any object that does not have enough power will be captured by the gravitational pull of the Earth and the Moon and left forever.
The Solar System Space Army has built a huge spaceport here. Hundreds of high-spec railguns and large-caliber laser guns are always ready to deal with intruders.
The space port is designed as a semi-permanent fortress.
A large fleet was passing near the fortress. A battleship more than 20 kilometers long, a space carrier with a scale of 15 kilometers, a light and elegant cruiser, a destroyer that wins by numbers. They passed by the fortress as if no one was around, and they didn't even set up the necessary defensive formation.
The Spaceport Command, the Defense Commander, and the staff members stared at the unidentified ship group with frightened eyes, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
"Should... This group of ships does not belong to any part of our army. The confidential staff officer's tone was full of bitterness.
Now that the garrison fleet is not in the port area, it lacks mobile combat power, unless they take the initiative to enter the range of the fortress guns, and the fortress has nothing to do with these uninvited guests.
"Commander, you can't let them be so unscrupulous!" , and finally someone in the staff couldn't stand it.
The bald-headed commander turned around suddenly, and the anger on his body made his staff take two steps back.
"Don't let them be unscrupulous! What do you want? We can't reach them, and we can't stop them. Do you want to use a shuttle against a battleship! ”
“。。。。。。”
Looking back with hatred, sweat is flowing into his neck. He stared at the screen with wide eyes, as if he was about to destroy the uninvited group of ships with his gaze.
It's troublesome, and it's not as simple as it seems. At least the information about the spaceport was leaked, and the fact that these guys in front of them was so blatant is the evidence. The question is not who they are, but how they will use this intelligence.
Is the main force of the 2nd Fleet also targeted?
In any case, having lost the intelligence advantage, the initiative has changed hands, and the battle has not yet begun, and the side has lost half of it first.
The huge group of ships left without a hitch, without even sending a communication to the fortress, which was completely ignored.
In the command room, people couldn't help but take a long breath.
"Can you track their whereabouts?" It was only then that the commander remembered that he was not really running out of things to do.
"You don't need to track it, you just need to watch it." , The reply of the confidential staff officer was very rude, and no one cared. The restlessness of Rarity is spreading indefinitely.
The wide-field monitor shows a magnified blue planet. The unidentified group of ships turned into unrecognizable black dots, merging into the gentle blue.
。。。。。。
Waves of energy spread across the void. The assault ship is like a small boat in the angry sea, trying to maintain the set course in the midst of the turmoil.
It is still a two-ship formation, but it is mainly based on the No. 3 ship, supplemented by the No. 4 ship.
Edlaide, the best assault captain in the USS Wanderer frigate, has a promising future. He stared at the No. 3 ship in front of the starboard side in confusion.
"So far, all the judgments of the No. 3 ship have been extremely correct, and they have taken the lead. What else are you worried about? The soft and waxy voice and steady words come from the navigator Avina. Every word and movement of her is reminiscent of maturity.
"No, I don't understand, is the little girl on the No. 3 ship pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? I've never seen her so reliable. Edlaide didn't take his eyes off Ship 3, as if he were answering Avina's question, and as if he was talking to himself.
"Hehe... Captain, it's really a character who doesn't admit defeat. Her laughter was so pleasant.
"It's just not used to being surpassed." , was said to be the center of the matter did not blush, the young captain calmly admitted it. This innate frankness and sincerity won him the favor of many people.
"It's not necessarily Jasmine who is in control of the No. 3 ship now."
"You mean the guy who was demoted?"
The main engine erupted with a dazzling blue glow, and the unidentified group of air and space fighters turned into small clusters of light in the blink of an eye, no longer posing a threat.
"Well, I'll admit that I wasn't inexperienced enough to detect the enemy's presence in the first place. What the hell are you? Experience is amazing? Why was he demoted if he was so capable? Jasmine's expression was not good, and her tone was even more hurtful.
His slender eyes were fixed on the console in front of him, and his hands were busy. The actual control of the two-ship formation fell into his hands, and an appropriate plan had to be put together.
"I'll talk to you!" , the captain raised his voice an octave.
"I said, Captain, can you not do it, the gunnery chief is busy! It doesn't matter if he makes a mistake, the lives of his brothers are still missing. Seeing the wind and steering the rudder, the bear complained in and out of his words.
"You guy, who's the captain, how did you help him?"
"I don't help my relatives." , Rolling his eyes, the bear was calm in the face of the captain's anger.
“。。。。。。” , momentarily angry, Jasmine glared at Ivan fiercely. The bear turned his head away from her.
The accident brought him back to his old feelings. Dark Universe, Unknown Dangers. It's uncomfortable to be stared at all the time, but it can stimulate tension. For the first time since his dismissal, this feeling was the first time.
The situation was uncertain, and there was no need for his class to figure out what was going on. The enemy is the Empire, and the momentum is great. The 180 Thunderbolt-class aerospace fighters speak for themselves. At least 2 space carriers are involved in the attack, and the possibility that the enemy is not doing its best cannot be ruled out.
The noisy communication circuit over long distances is a sign of enemy proximity. Fortunately, he had already passed on the news of the attack, and now he was mainly fighting for survival.
"Here they are, ready to fight."
Liao Fan's voice was so calm, it was hard to imagine that he was making a declaration of imminent battle.
The supernova seemed to be bright and bright, and the formation completed the process of acceleration, attitude change, and acceleration again.
"Liao Fan, what are you crazy about, you haven't seen the enemy yet, why do you want to enter the battle state." Jasmine wrote disbelief on her face.
"Ship No. 4, prepare a salvo of main guns, and the target is under my control." , Naturally issued orders, and there was no scruple about Shangguan beside him.
"Ship No. 4 understands... What's wrong with your captain, why didn't she get in touch. ”
"You have to take care of it! The old lady was tired of talking and panicked, so she found someone to do it for her. ”
“。。。。。。”
Liao Fan adjusted the synchronization rate of the perception system to the maximum. Don't let go of every detail of the outside world.
There was no sign of the enemy, but communication jamming continued.
There are only two possibilities, one is that the enemy's jamming power is far above the level of an assault ship and can be completed without getting close, and the other is that the enemy is invisible.
The alarm suddenly appeared in his heart, and he controlled a total of 10 magnetic railguns and laser cannons of the two ships, and scattered them in 10 directions around the route.
"Dispersion of fire? You're sick in the head! Give me the command, or I'll enforce it. ”
Ignore Jasmine's angry scolding and ignore the captain's request for him to return command.
At the moment of the scattering of fire, the front of the formation was biased towards the bottom of the sky, and the disturbance was fleeting.
That's the enemy, stealth bombers. Neither visible light nor radar beams can detect its existence. It only manifests when it attacks or moves quickly. The enemy is the killer in the space battleship.
The system prompts that Jasmine is forcibly removing his control privileges, and as long as he enters another check code, he will lose control of the formation.
The railgun is ready, and the laser cannon is fully charged after 10 seconds. The enemy will definitely act.
The stealth ship's code of action is feminine, and once it is disrupted, it will inevitably abandon the original plan. That's the opportunity.
The formation's firepower was reset to concentration, and the target was in the empty void. He was eighty percent sure that the enemy would disengage through this path, and the question was the timing of the launch.
If you fail to kill the opponent, the initiative will go back to the enemy. As a veteran, he wouldn't let that happen.
"I don't know what to call a guy, I was almost deceived by you!"
Jasmine dropped the sentence viciously, and reached for the console with her right hand.
The next second, he will lose control of the formation. But that's okay anymore. Because the order for a salvo was given.
The scarlet line of fire was concentrated at one point in the void. The water rippled and shook where it should have been empty, and then a strange-looking spaceship appeared in pitch black. The spears of the line of fire pierced the strange ship.
The formation quickly overtook the location of the strange ship. Two beams of bright white light continued to shine on the piercing part of the enemy ship. First, the hull turned from black to red, and the crack instantly extended in other directions.
The artificial supernova bleached the rear of the formation, and the starry sky was tarnished.
"Killed!" , Ivan shouted excitedly in his ears.
"Ship No. 3, where are we headed? According to the existing route, the formation will leave the Earth's gravitational sphere after 1 minute. ”
Edlaide's voice pulled Liao Fan back to reality. It's been a long time since he's made such a brilliant fireball, and he's fascinated by it.
Skillfully operated with both hands, the long-set rear endurance was sent to the ship's system after the OK key was pressed.
Error message asking for permission from the captain. Only then did he realize that control had been taken back.
"Ship 3, what's going on? We're about to leave the Earth's gravitational sphere. The formation is not suitable for that. ”
“3。。。 Ship No. 3 understands that the course is being reset. ”
Jasmine is at a loss.
"Alright, Miss, give the permission back to the fox! Otherwise, it will really fly out of the earth. Xiong Youzai is swimming, and he has no consciousness as a navigator.
"What is called returning, it was originally my permission." Jasmine doesn't realize that setting the course should be the bear's job.
"Don't ink, it's not easy to fly out and come back." , the unscrupulous bear continues to be a matter of business.
With a crisp system prompt, Liao Fan regained control of the formation. After the course setting was accepted, the two assault ships made a mysterious amplitude in the void, facing the earth again and diving into the atmosphere.
