Chapter 42: Planetary Fortress
Integrating Ji Yun into the Tenth Fleet, it can be seen from this order under the command that they have seriously considered Ji Yun's combat effectiveness, especially the combination of him and the three Xuan Neng pilots, which must be to ensure that the planetary fortress is not lost.

A space battle, on such a large scale, that the command can devote a little attention to a single person, this is undoubtedly an invisible and illustrious honor.
The dispatch of troops on the battlefield has always been based on the corps or fleet for the senior officers of the command, when has there ever been a target for individuals? But as a mystical master, he has such an honor!
Where, when, and what kind of mission each mystic master appears on the battlefield has extraordinary significance. Because, they are the top combat power of this era!
Ji Yun changed his previous laziness and sat in the command chair in the middle of the main control room of the Hades Tiger Ship, staring at the planetary fortress.
Planetary fortresses, one of the most powerful offensive and defensive combat forces in human interstellar civilization, each one represents extremely strong firepower, endless morale, astronomical cost, and of course, it also means huge energy consumption.
The planetary fortress in front of him was surrounded by more than 500 warships of the Tenth Fleet. In front of the massive fortress, these ships do not appear crowded, leaving enough room for firepower to allow the fortress to exert its powerful long-range attack power.
The entire planetary fortress is constructed of countless circular turret bases that rotate along the direction of latitude. Each turret base rotates along a vertical axis in the center of the planet. Ji Yun knows that each layer can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise. The densely packed turrets include light energy cannons, magnetic railguns, and even fission cannons, all of which vary in size and size.
The faint red light on the base of the turret indicates that each turret can spit out brilliant firepower at any time and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
The artillery strike control of the planetary fortress is not aimed by manpower, but by the optical brain.
On each ring of artillery fire belts of the fortress, there is an extremely long-range light cannon, and it is this kind of turret that gives the planetary fortress an extraordinary attack range. But it also has a significant weakness - when the enemy penetrates close enough, the various types and specifications of batteries will lose the advantage of long-range strikes.
Just as Ji Yun was carefully studying the characteristics of the protected target, Colonel Chang Tian's voice sounded in the fleet command channel:
"Captains, please note that our radar has detected the enemy's whereabouts, and the estimated number of warships is around 40,000. Captains are requested to be ready for battle in case of a sneak attack from the enemy's flanks and rear. ”
"Forty thousand!?"
Presumably, there were not a few captains on the battlefield who were as amazed as Ji Yun, but no one panicked in addition to being surprised. The fleet of the Great Chinese Kingdom contains only 30,000 warships, but with the existence of planetary fortresses, there is no obvious difference in the combat power of the two sides.
Sure enough, on the planetary fortress at the back of the center of the Great Huaguo Fleet Group, on the arc in the direction of the Wright Fleet, the ultra-long-range light energy main cannon instantly released the energy that had been accumulated for a long time!
After all, this place is still in the outer space of the farmer planet, and the thin air particles make the sound of artillery fire come from the outside of the battleship, stirring on the high-strength glass of the main control room, sounding dull and heavy.
At this moment, the energy burst from the fortress eclipsed the light of the distant stars! Hundreds of pillars of light energy passed through the vast starry sky left between the warships in front of the Great Hua Kingdom, and rushed towards the direction of the Wright Nation fleet without hesitation.
This distance is too far, Ji Yun, who stayed near the fortress, looked at the end of the artillery fire from afar, only saw the white afterglow, and could not even see whether the opposing fleet was damaged and exploded.
The fleet of the Wright Kingdom never expected that the Great China would transport such a behemoth from the rear! Caught off guard, I suffered a big loss!
If the radar system of the Tiger Ship is advanced enough, it will definitely be able to find that this first round of artillery fire has swept away dozens of warships in the Wright fleet! From this, Ji Yun also knew that the radar system equipped in the planetary fortress must be the best! Come to think of it, such a super long-range attack weapon must find a way to equip it with the best radar!
Don't look at the insignificance of these dozens of numbers compared to those 40,000, you know, this is completely outside the range of the opponent! Fleets generally put defensive warships in the direction of advancement, and resist the main artillery attack with their thick energy shields. Unexpectedly, the main cannon of the planetary fortress is so powerful! Shields, which often require more than two guns to peel off, are shattered like glass under this super cannon fire.
This is still the damage caused by Wright Country when he detected powerful energy fluctuations and tried his best to avoid them!
At this time, the planetary fortress was to the Wright fleet what the archers were to the cavalry in the age of cold weapons, and before they could get close, they launched a merciless attack. When they rushed closer, their own cavalry was able to meet them.
The Planetary Fortress undoubtedly gave Dahua a great upper hand.
On the huge planetary fortress, the ring-shaped turret platform began to rotate, revealing another arc of ultra-long-range light energy turrets, and once again started the next round of artillery attacks!
The fortress is like a small planet, and with the change of longitude, the number of turrets distributed on each turret platform is different, and the speed of rotation is also different. As a result, there is a time lag in the frequency of the countless main cannon attacks on each floor of the Planet Fortress, and it seems to be staggered.
Turning to the main gun behind the fortress is just the right time to cool down and maintain a constant attack power.
Ji Yun watched the performance of the planetary fortress here, and was extremely shocked, and he had more confidence in this war. But it wasn't so easy on the other side of the Lite Country, they were blinded by the sudden and powerful firepower, and by the time they quickly changed course, they had already lost thousands of warships!
Before he even saw the appearance of the other party, he suffered such a heavy blow! This made the command of the Wright Fleet extremely unacceptable!
He scolded a group of pig-headed scientists in China for eating dry rice! Not for anything else, just because their radar is much behind Dahuaguo, so far, even the other side has not been able to detect what is attacking them, only can see the dense Dahua fleet on the radar screen, but these fleets on the radar have obviously not yet reached the distance of firing, and they are quietly watching their own brilliant fireworks. Each firework represents the fall of a battleship, and this is the battle that has just begun!
They can only guess that the other party is likely to have a planetary fortress! This speculation made the commander of the Wright Fleet's fleet break out in a cold sweat.
He had no choice but to adjust the course of the fleet, changing from the original straight course to encircling from top to bottom. However, Dahua had long expected them to make such a move, and the fleet arrangement suddenly made adjustments, giving way to the gap between the original parallel artillery fire trajectories and forming the artillery fire trajectory gaps in the diagonal line.
Finally, the Planetary Fortress came into range of Wright's radar. When they found that huge light point appeared on the radar, the commander, who confirmed the guess in his heart, no longer hesitated, and ordered the already scattered fleet to move forward at full speed and enter his range as soon as possible!
At this time, there is no better way, if you don't close the distance as soon as possible, your own side is a live target of Dahua, and the proportion of battle losses must be extremely ugly. He knew that if he came face to face with the fleet of the Great Hua Kingdom as soon as possible, those fleets would definitely block their way to attack the fortress, and at that time, the long-range attack of the planetary fortress would throw a rat trap, fearing accidental injury!
Will he just break in? Of course not, if this is the case, anyone who has passed the psychological quality can become a commander! At the same time, he gave two other orders.
These two orders will be the variables in the direction of this war.
