Chapter 281: In One Move
As the light of the stars disappeared behind the massive gaseous planets, an overwhelming storm once again obscured the heavens and the earth, and another long night began
"You're all ready to fight in the ship, I'll be waiting for you at the wreck of the Prometheus at the door, and when the ship floats out of the ground, I'll control the pile of things to join you."
In the past five and a half days, in addition to picking up girls, Mao Dong has also analyzed all the details and further improved them through discussions.
Cai Tingting will obviously not be able to help in the battle, she will be the only one among the reincarnators who will act with the ordinary crew. If it goes well, the veterans will take the Titan Reincarnators upside down...... But there is one thing that cannot be avoided: the alien that has not appeared since the battle six days ago is still uncertain, Zhang Haolin does not believe that an A-class reincarnator can be killed so easily in the case of escape, this giant beast is likely to take advantage of the big battle between the two sides to come to the ordinary crew to pick up the cheap, and the crew who have no ability to resist must be properly arranged.
According to Wen Yu, the alien had never used a spirit scan, but it could accurately find the location of its prey and sense the presence of the enemy, and the reincarnators had already made a lot of speculation about the source of its information...... Infrared, ultrasound, sound, smell and even radiation, everything is possible. Weng Wei used a series of spells to isolate the transmission of sounds, smells and temperatures, and in addition to this, the crew was also placed in the middle of the base, and the passages in all directions were filled with a large amount of sand to the point that only one and a half meters of space remained, and humans had to bow their heads and bend over to travel here...... Even if the aliens found them, they wouldn't be able to get in.
ββ
Now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Dust storms blow violently, and the climate has been like this since ancient times in a place where there is not a lot of life and far from the stars. Zhang Haolin stood in a leeward position outside the base gate, holding a pile of Prometheus parts and debris as large as a small private car, looking at the flat ground in front of the base.
The ground trembled again, several air columns erupted from the ground like fountains, the ground covered with dozens of centimeters of thick soil slowly cracked, and another Titan warship that had been sleeping for thousands of years slowly floated out of the big pit on the ground, and under the action of the vector anti-gravity engine, it faced the 16-level wind and floated impartially upward.
Several liquid gold tentacles extended out of Zhang Haolin's arm, wrapped around the magnetic alloy garbage pile weighing dozens of tons, first controlled the magnetic field to squeeze the lump to shrink its windward area, and then exerted force upward, dragging a large piece like a small car, flying in the direction of the spaceship.
From a distance, Zhang Haolin and the items under his control flew out of the base next to the hangar like a small shuttle, and in a few minutes they merged with the massive battleship...... But the work of the parties has only just begun, the magnetic field around the battleship is violently distorted, and the metal garbage that has just been crumpled into a ball begins to disintegrate around the spaceship, unfolding and peeling off piece by piece, driven by the magnetic field, bending and curling, connecting into pieces...... Finally, it covered the surface of the battleship, forming two large wide metal bands, like a scarf or a piece of gauze, around the ring-shaped ship's hull, protecting a large area of anti-gravity engines at one end of the Titan battleship.
Fly to the other end of the ship with the remaining metal plates, and wrap this section of the engine with a metal scarf again, the most dense engines in the symmetrical parts on both sides of the spaceship, all blocked by a layer of metal plates.
β¦β¦
This thin layer of metal was not even as strong as the original protective layer on the surface of the engine, and the reincarnators did not intend to rely on this layer to make them immune to enemy attacks...... In fact, this kind of large starship is generally used as a cross-galaxy force transport or as a railgun to carry out over-the-horizon bombing outside the atmosphere, and even if there is a battle, it is in the desert space, and there is generally no need to worry about crashing. So, the design and construction did not take into account the possibility of the anti-gravity engine being attacked during take-off - if an interstellar war was fought to the point where even the enemy on the edge of the hangar could not be destroyed, would there be any point in continuing?
Flying vehicles and equipment are generally considered to avoid being attacked, rather than racking their brains to make a thick-skinned type that is safe from an attack...... That's a complete scrap of the cost, and the cost of construction will rise exponentially.
Zhang Haolin's series of tasks were completed, and the operation of emptying the cargo compartment of the spacecraft was just over, and he took the last remaining scraps, entered the spacecraft through the open hatch under the spacecraft, and put the last some metal plates in the spaceship.
"Alright, let's get ready."
There was still no trace of the enemy in Wen Yu's mental scan, but everyone knew that those deadly missiles would always shoot at them in the next moment, hitting the ship in an instant.
"Be ready to turn the direction at any time, and as soon as the enemy's direction is determined, immediately turn the ship towards them!"
"Don't worry, you're ready." Mao Dong sat in the wide driver's seat for the Titans, like a doll lying in the cradle, and he made an OK gesture to his teammates: "Whether you can return safe and sound depends on this battle, come on, everyone!" β
β¦β¦
The spacecraft continued to rise slowly, and it had reached an altitude of 100 meters, Zhang Haolin couldn't help but think of a possibility: If the Titans didn't attack this time, what should they do, should they land and pick up the ordinary crew members to get on board and try again? The main quest is to "hand over at least one Titanian corpse to the human crew to bring back to Earth", so it is likely that the human crew will also be an essential part of completing the mission - at least one human crew member must be alive to take on the responsibility of bringing the corpse back.
Of course, the safest plan is to take one or two crew members with them, but this time they are preparing to use the spaceship to carry out a suicide attack, and it is impossible to drive the ship to crash over while protecting ordinary plot characters...... As a result, I could only choose to separate the reincarnation and the plot characters completely, and I fought with all my might.
"It's coming!" Wen Yu shouted, and immediately shared the direction of the abnormality within the mental scanning range to his teammates through the link, the direction of the missile attack and the direction facing the spaceship were unfortunately just the opposite, Mao Dong's subordinates kept operating, the spaceship's anti-gravity engine vector changed, and in the slight elastic deformation of the hull structure, the battleship began to slowly try to turn around.
"I went." Zhang Haolin dropped a sentence, turned around and drilled out of the spaceship from the opening again, and ran to the dense position of the engine on the left side of the spaceship. The missile approached the battleship in the blink of an eye, still two on the left and one on the right...... He'll have to work hard to stop the enemy's weapons from destroying too many engines, and if the ship falls before it can even turn around, the suicide impact becomes a joke!
The short stick-shaped object slashed in front of him at high speed, tilted upwards under the offset of the magnetic field's efforts, and still violently slammed into the edge of the protective belt that Zhang Haolin had made from the wreckage of the Prometheus, exploding a fireball in the storm, and being blown out quickly.
Under the intervention of the reincarnation, one of the two missiles failed to hit the best strike position, and only destroyed a few sets of anti-gravity devices, but the other missile set to fall hundreds of meters away hit the metal protective belt heavily, the Prometheus's fragile metal plate protection was extremely low, and it was easily burned out of a large hole, and the fireball still managed to destroy a large number of anti-gravity engines, the lift on this side was no longer enough to push the huge body of the battleship, and under the action of the seriously uneven lift on both sides, the spaceship began to tilt to the right!
ββ
"Don't be nervous, everything is planned!"
Zhang Haolin comforted his teammates in the spaceship through the spiritual link, and jumped forward on the ship's hull against the strong wind, and soon ran from the less damaged side to the other side that was seriously damaged, stretched out his hand to activate the ability, stabilized the almost severed magnetic metal wrapping, and the ability poured out without reservation, and the distortion of the magnetic field pushed so violently that it caused a discharge phenomenon at the edge of the metal plate, and under the wrapping of the wreckage of the Prometheus, the tilt of the battleship actually slowly stopped, a reincarnation, Relying on his own strength and the anti-gravity engine that is only a little more than half left, he forcibly maintains a starship in mid-air......
Fortunately, the material used by the Titan warship is less dense, and the interior is empty and there are no extra facilities, although it is hundreds of meters long, the total amount is less than 1,000 tons, and under the condition that most of the total amount is borne by the anti-gravity engine, Zhang Haolin was able to use his ability to support the other end of it.
The lift of the engines was now almost in balance with the gravity of the ship, but with the help of a small but significant ability of the electromagnetic anomaly, the battleship continued to rise tenaciously at an almost imperceptible speed, while continuing to slowly turn aroundβthirty degrees, sixty degrees, ninety degrees, one hundred and twenty degrees...... Everything went according to the script, but the second wave of the enemy's blow had already arrived, and the ship had to turn almost a hundred and seventy degrees in the direction of the enemy, and it could not crash yet!
"Wow yes !!" Zhang Haolin desperately used his ability to finally increase the height of a few meters, staring intently at the two death-like missiles flying towards the battleship, and at the same time as the fireball exploded, he decisively changed the upward lift to a horizontal tangential force, and cooperated with the steering engine of the spaceship, trying to compress the time for the spacecraft to adjust its direction...... With only a quarter of the engine left, the ship is starting to fall down at 50% of the "LV_223-gravity acceleration", but as long as the turn is completed before it falls to the limit altitude, the plan can still be carried out!
160 degrees, 165 degrees......
"That's enough, come in!"
Zhang Haolin dispersed his ability and rushed to the opening in the middle of the spaceship, the moment he drilled into the spaceship, Mao Dong pressed the button to start the jump engine, and in the air more than seventy meters above the ground, the jump engine at the tail of the spacecraft burst out with dazzling light, accompanied by a fluctuation in space, the huge energy hidden in the quantum ocean was pierced and leaked, pushing the battleship, not only stopping the falling trend, but also rushing towards the direction of the source of the missile with amazing acceleration!
The jump engine does not rely on the recoil force under the conservation of momentum to accelerate the spaceship, so the people in the spaceship will not be overloaded like a car suddenly starts, Mao Dong jumped out of the driver's seat, everyone gathered around the most vulnerable part of the front of the spaceship, Zhang Haolin waved his hand to transform the remaining scraps into an eggshell to wrap everyone...... Everything is ready, just waiting for the battle.
ββ
The spaceship accelerated wildly, and it took less than a second to break through the speed of sound, cutting through the sky and flying in the direction of the Titans like a meteor, and four seconds later, four obvious targets appeared in Wen Yu's mental scan.
The spiritual scanning range of the Titan Reincarnation team is nearly one kilometer farther than Wen Yu's, and this short kilometer usually has a crushing intelligence advantage...... But this time, everything happened so suddenly, they didn't even react to protect the team with a spiritual shield, and when they found that the human side was rushing over in a battleship, the distance between the two sides had shrunk to four kilometers, which was exactly the limit of Wen Yu's spiritual scanning!
"There are four, one spirit is about fifteen hundred, two are around seven hundred, and the last one is probably the old friend who shot down our first battleship last time, and the weakest one."
"Okay, no nonsense, our goal is-" Zhang Haolin touched the detonation button with his finger and said the last sentence in the dark: "Kill them all!" β
ββ
"Boom-" Hundreds of bombs of all sizes installed in and out of the spacecraft were detonated at the same time, and the battleship had reached six times the speed of sound under the propulsion of the minimum power of the jump engine, which was not even a drop in the bucket compared to its theoretical maximum speed, but the key was that it was too reluctant for such a big guy to fly like this in the atmosphere against the air, and if it continued, it would turn into a fireball and disintegrate!
Fortunately, its mission was accomplished, and in this series of continuous sounds, the battleship was reduced to hundreds of pieces under the dual effect of the resonance caused by the explosion and the propulsion of the engine, and smashed towards the mountain in front of it, and a small metal egg flew out of the fragments of the spaceship, drawing a graceful arc, enveloping the five human reincarnators and flying towards the Titans at an astonishing speed.
Originally, Zhang Haolin also controlled other metal fragments wrapped outside the battleship to bombard the enemy, but the two metal scarves wrapped around the battleship had already fallen off from the battleship under acceleration and attack, and now they had to rely on their own strength to fight the enemy without fire cover.
This was just a small accident, and it was the opposite of how much he couldn't catch up with the enemy before, and now Zhang Haolin has to consider the problem: their speed is too fast at this time...... Flying to the ground at this speed, they will crash into the mountain wall and turn into five puddles of flesh, and the violently consumed electromagnetic ability is activated again, and the metal sphere capsule that envelops the five people begins to slow down, and with the help of air resistance and the cover of a huge number of battleship fragments, they quickly drop from six times the speed of sound to two times the speed of sound, and now, they are only a thousand meters away from the enemy, and it only takes two seconds to make head-on contact!
"It's all set!" Zhang Haolin reminded for the last time in his spirit, the metal egg shattered under the control of the magnetic field, and the five people inside returned to the cold air from the protective cabin that was hot with the air, and fell to the ground in two groups: Wen Yu is a non-combatant, she doesn't need to rush to the enemy's side to fight hand-to-hand, and after giving herself a slow fall, she will distance herself from everyone under the air resistance, while the remaining four people are riding broomsticks, rushing towards the hostile reincarnation at supersonic speed like a wild horse.
