Chapter 221: The Fleet Rushing to Death (4)
Chapter 221: Rushing to the Grim Reaper's Fleet (4)
Boomer is a veteran of the Dawn of Civilization and a father of five children. The eldest son of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is sixty-seven years old this year (the standard time, equivalent to about thirty years old for humans), and is an engineering technician. Before Boomer left Peach Blossom Garden, he was undergoing a blue-collar technician rating, and if he passed, he would be qualified for the Honorary Citizen Assessment, and he was expected to enter the legendary heavenly Honor Generation Ship.
Boomer's wife died of medical malpractice at an early age, and the maintenance of several children was entrusted to Boomer's shoulders. Unfortunately, Boomer himself was discharged due to injuries, and although the prosthesis did not affect his work, he was forced to retire from the army on the grounds that Boomer could no longer be qualified for high-intensity combat missions.
The wife died unexpectedly, the burden on the family was heavy, and the pitiful monthly veterans' allowance was simply not enough for the family's expenses. Everyone who went out to look for a job hated Boomer's disability, and coupled with the violent nature of Boomana's soldiers, even if he found a job that barely made ends meet, he couldn't last.
In desperation, Boomer thought about robbery and other dark deals, but the soldier's situation made him unbearable, and he failed to succeed again and again. I remember one time Bulma robbed a single mother, and in the end he found that the family was even poorer than him, and when he relented, he not only did not bring anything with him, but gave the only property he had to others.
Under the heavy pressure of survival, several children began to go out to find jobs to support their families, and sometimes even saved some pocket money to help Bulma and relieve his drinking addiction. Boomer felt that he was very incompetent as a father, especially when he saw his fifteen-year-old daughter belittled in the tavern again. Since then, Boomer has secretly vowed that he would give up his life in order for his children to get ahead and live a better life.
Star God blessed, just when Boomer was confused and hesitant, a message was displayed on the Internet. Civilization needs volunteers to form a shadow fleet to divert the enemy's attention, to buy time and create opportunities for the transfer of the main fleet. Although he knew that this was a life of death and life, Boomer did not hesitate to sign up.
In his opinion, the fate of a soldier should be to die heroically on the battlefield, with the stars as a companion, and live forever, rather than being embarrassed to grow old and rot in a rusty economic cabin. Moreover, joining the Shadow Fleet by himself also provides a rare opportunity for several children. As a father, he was able to help his children in the last days of his life, and Boomer would feel at ease that he had done at least for a few of them.
"Toot toot toot...... Bite! A pleasant voice sounded in Boomer's ears, and the green energy grid was fully lit up, indicating that the third wave of charging had been completed. Boomer hurriedly pressed the fine-tuning button of the propulsion engine, and the hideous muzzle emitting blue flashes slowly turned under the impetus of the attitude correction engine, and quickly calibrated according to the coordinates given by the command center. Boomer let out a long sigh of relief as the crosshair on the sight turned from red to blue, and all the preparations were finally completed.
"Dash...... Da ...... The red indicator light ...... flashing constantly, indicating that the main gun is in the active state, when the command is fired, the indicator light will have a brief transition from red to yellow, and then directly from yellow to green, when all the main guns of the entire formation will attack at the same time.
"Tick! ......" The green light lit up, Boomer quickly reached out and gently pressed the activation button, and the whole giant cannon shook violently, and the huge reaction force knocked Boomer into the air. Then the entire operation room began to shake violently, and a huge crack tore open on the nearby cabin, and the air in the cabin poured violently outward, and Boomer was violently ejected like a weightless feather.
The cannon went through three rounds of heavy fire, and the huge reaction force directly destroyed the main structure of the cannon. The energy cannon is different from laser weapons, and no amount of power will produce a reaction force. The powerful energy beam emitted by the energy cannon will have a strong impact on the space around the barrel, and the reaction force is transmitted to the entire cannon from the space of the cannon.
It was not easy for Boomer's crew to complete three salvos, and many more of the cannons began to malfunction at the end of one round, and disintegrated in the air just after two rounds of fire. After the third salvo, the number of huge guns in the entire formation was already one in ten, and the firepower of the fleet suddenly dropped by several levels.
Boomer felt that he was flying lightly, ** began to freeze gradually, and faintly could see countless bright lights flying around him, and then his body gradually stiffened, and his mind began to become sluggish. He knew that his blood was cooling rapidly, and that he was about to stiffen.
"Little ones, this is the end of my father's life, you must live a brilliant life......"

"Have you counted the number of enemies?" Pino carefully inspected the battle formation of the fleet and asked Elo without looking back.
"It has been calculated, so far, the enemy has gathered around this ship has exceeded 50,000 integrated fleets, and the number of warships has exceeded 100 million." Elo said heavily.
"Hey, you really look up to us, so many warships are enough to kill the entire galaxy, it's not a waste to use it with us" Pinault
"What's even more terrifying is that the reconnaissance department found that the number of enemies has not decreased, but is still multiplying, and it seems that the enemy intends to fill the entire starry sky with warships. We've not destroyed as many new enemies," Elo added.
"So what, we can't go back anyway, wouldn't it be better to be able to attract more enemies? The harder it is on our side, the easier it will be on the main fleet's side," Pino suddenly laughed heartlessly.
"Report, detected that the stability of the battlefield space is gradually increasing" The staff officer sent a report at an inopportune time.
"Trouble," Pino's face darkened.
"What's wrong?" Elo doesn't know why.
"I said why can't the enemy fight back, they used the Boleves Space Reinforcement, and the enemy intends to trap us here. Misstep, blunder! In the end, it is not the foundation of civilization, although I know the role of the space anchor, but the level of science and technology is there, I can't imagine that the enemy will have this trick," Pinault said with annoyance.
"It's okay if it's blocked, we can't escape anyway, and I don't plan to escape" Elo seemed to be talking to Pino, and seemed to be talking to himself.
"After the space anchor is used, our hyperspace communicator will not work," Pinault said solemnly.
"This is not good news," said Elo, who also felt the seriousness of the matter. The Shadow Fleet has been in communication with the Golden Crow Fleet since its departure, and the sudden loss of contact is too detrimental to the transmission of intelligence and strategic guidance.
"Ministry of Communications, try the hyperspace communicator and it won't work," Elo shouted directly into the distance.
"The signal has completely disappeared and it is impossible to send a message"
"It seems that we can only move in earnest, order the fleet to closely surround the shield range of the mothership, with the First Fleet as the lead, the jump engine begins to warm up, and we rush out!"
