Chapter 3: Space Combat Squad
The Empress of the Sun turned on the curvature and reached the speed of light in a very short time. Twenty-eight days later, the Empress of the Sun slowed down in the 19th Sector and resumed its normal power.
Although the 19th District is remote, the civilization density is much higher than that of the 8th District, and there are many non-human civilizations here, most of which have migrated from extragalactic galaxies. However, most of them have already surrendered to Miashk.
"Look for it with your eyes wide open! No suspicious target must be spared. Brian stared at the stereoscopic image of the celestial bodies of Area 19 projected on the console. There are bright flashes of light that are systematically marked on the planet of the existence of civilization. It's not easy not to disturb the inhabitants here.
"Three hundred unmanned reconnaissance ships have been deployed and are receiving information."
"Captain, there's an urgent report from the power compartment!" Messenger reports.
"Open!"
A particle light screen formed in front of everyone, and the situation in the power compartment began to appear.
"We are running out of energy!" The first mate was surprised.
"How is that possible!" Brian didn't believe that there was no problem with the energy carried by the Empress of the Brilliant Sun going around the galaxy, not to mention that they had only traveled half of the galaxy.
"Captain, there is a serious malfunction in the power compartment, and energy is constantly leaking out in the curvature shuttle. Now it is necessary to replenish the energy and repair the power compartment! "The commander of the power compartment has finished reporting.
"Where can I refuel my energy?" Brian calmed down, conflicted inside. Now the situation in the Nineteenth District is quite tense, and the civilization that has surrendered has a grudge against the monopoly of the Empire, and now that the Empire has sent in a terrifying starship, it is already good if they don't resist, do you still expect them to help?
In the stereoscopic image of the console, a red planet slowly grows larger, which is due to the proximity of the Empress of the Sun.
"What's that?" Brian pointed at it.
"Miso, once an industrial planet, is now abandoned, with zero signs of life."
"Is it possible to find energy?"
"There are a couple of abandoned nuclear power plants, so you can try your luck."
"Zoom in."
The surface of Miso is little by little, the red ground is full of ruins, the steel buildings that have not been fully weathered have long been embroidered, and the signs of industrial civilization still exist, but they have indeed been abandoned for a long time.
"Move, stop!"
In the stereoscopic image, there is a huge clearing, which is a former landfill, and the terrain is flat for landing.
"Just land there, all on alert!" Brian ordered.
"It's like the end of the world." Standing on a small hill next to the landfill, looking around, there are two of the tallest steel towers on Miso not far away, except for ruins and ruins, but they only add to the sadness of this apocalyptic scene, because they are so lonely. Ai Yuan couldn't help crying, "It's hard to imagine what happened here that day. ”
Hae Sung put his arm around her and didn't speak. This desolate scene also complicated his heart.
Feng Yuan looked at the lovers, staring at the ruins in the background, and there was an indescribable desolation. Soon, he thought about whether the earth, which was being abandoned by human beings at the moment, would end up like this!
In fact, a life with feelings will have a sense of loss and sadness when they see such a scene. It's just that there are too few people who understand.
The repair of the power compartment will take some time, and the people sent out to find energy have not yet brought back any good news.
"Captain, unidentified spaceship has been discovered!"
"If it's a spaceship from another civilization, leave him alone." Brian changed his previous caution, he deeply blamed himself at the moment, such a serious mistake of energy leakage actually happened when he was the captain of the ship, which was not only a dereliction of duty, but also a discredit to the queen.
"It's coming straight at us!"
"What?"
"Understood, get there right away!" Feng Yuan received the order from the control cabin and immediately called the team, "Attention to the space combat team, quickly assemble in the tail cabin!" ”
The members of the space combat team who were walking outside heard the captain's order and all returned to the starship as fast as they could.
"There's a ship trying to get us closer, and we can't tell if it's friend or foe at the moment, but from what I know about Area 19, it's very likely." Brian paused, looked at the space battle team that was hurrying over, and continued, "At the moment, the only one on the Empress of the Sun who can fight is you, I want you to welcome the ship, and if it fires at you, you will destroy it, understand?" ”
"Understood!" Eight people spoke in unison.
"Get on board!" Feng Yuan ordered, he looked at the loaded sub-particle fighter and found that there was one more.
"Feng Yuan," Brian called out to him, "the One is a drone, it can lead the way, and you must protect it before approaching the enemy ship." ”
"Understood, Captain."
"Space Battle Squad, let's go!" Brian ordered.
Nine sub-particle fighters were sent to the suspension acceleration orbit by the robotic arm, the hatch opened, and under the action of the fluid pressure difference between the two ends of the orbit, the sub-particle fighters ignited, accelerated, sprayed out two green belts, and flew away from the mothership.
The shape of the sub-particle fighter is very similar to binoculars, the driver's seat is in the middle, the rear of the 'mirror tube' on both sides is equipped with a three-stage hydrogen engine, the maximum speed is 20 times the speed of air sound, and the front of the 'lens tube' is equipped with two sub-particle cannons, which have the ability to reduce the cover of particles and the destructive power of long-wave lasers, which is the best weapon for small aircraft. There is also a small protective cover generator in front of the driver's seat. The whole aircraft only needs one person to operate, which is flexible and durable.
Nine warplanes flew off into the distance in unison, weaving between the two towers, with drones at the front, and Feng Yuan in hot pursuit.
It is worthy of a supercomputer-controlled drone, and the flight path is so complicated to calculate. Feng Yuan felt that just keeping up with it would require his full attention, let alone dedicating his energy to consider the threats around him.
Indeed, the drone took them around between the ruins and the ruins for a while, as if in circles. However, this is a roundabout tactic to reduce the chance of detection.
"Damn, how did the one at the front lead the team, I almost crashed to death!"
"It doesn't seem like the captain is leading the team."
"It's a drone!"
After some time, their good fortune seems to be gone.
"Captain, do you see that?" Ai Yuan sent an urgent message.
"See." Damn, there are three black dots on the display that are rapidly approaching the cluster. Or was discovered. Feng Yuan enlarged the image, and the system quickly processed the information of the enemy plane, it was three Avengers!
Feng Yuan remembered the captain's special explanation, and immediately decided, "Ai Yuan, you come to pick up my position, everyone follows the No. 1 plane, and leaves one person with me." "These three tails have to be disposed of first.
Ai Yuan was the only girl in the space combat team, and Feng Yuan didn't want her to risk too much.
To his surprise, two sub-particle fighters flew with him towards the Avengers.
"Captain, the three of us will always be together." Ai Yuan said firmly.
"That's right!" Hae-sung's voice also came.
Feng Yuan was helpless and moved, "Okay! Quick! ”
A few seconds later, the Avenger's hideous black body appeared in the trio's field of vision. The batteries on both wings were quickly raised.
"It's Gaia machine guns! Be careful! Haecheng recognized the round turret. The Gaia machine gun is the only metal bullet cannon still in use, and its most striking feature is its rate of fire, which increases over time, from the initial 500 rounds per minute to a terrifying 5,000 rounds per minute, resulting in an astonishing amount of destructive power, which can smash a concrete building into powder in a dozen seconds. Moreover, the bullet uniformly uses large-caliber tungsten bullets, and the heavy metal tungsten not only increases the destructive power, but also increases the flight inertia of the bullet, and the penetration of the protective cover is also greatly enhanced.
Sure enough, the Avengers struck first, angry tongues of fire erupted on the turret, and dense tungsten bullets flew like meteors. Where the fire crossed, the sound of metal striking and gunpowder explosions was deafening.
"We can't let them concentrate their firepower and fight separately." Feng Yuan took advantage of the flexibility of the sub-particle fighter to successfully flash several metal tongues of fire.
"I want this!" Eren lunged at an Avenger, and when its Gaia machine gun gun was aimed at her, it swooped down again. Two Avengers circled left and right, chasing her. Tungsten bullets shot downwards and hit the rubble, causing many dangerous buildings to fall with a bang.
"You go help her, I'll do this!" Feng Yuan accelerated towards an Avenger that was turning. The weapons of both aircraft were fired at the same time, and the Gaia machine guns roared like thunder, and the sub-particle cannons hissed like chainsaws. Feng Yuan flew sideways, the fuselage dodging two tongues of fire vertically, and then the scorching subparticles poured on the Avenger's unshielded fuselage......
The two Avengers were still in hot pursuit and swooping after Ehime.
Ai Yuan drove into the aisle to fly close to the ground, because the wings of the Avenger were too long, the pilot of an Avenger did not consider that the aisle was too narrow, and directly crashed into the plane and died. The other was switched to sideways, and the Gaia machine gun was aimed at Ehime's plane.
At the critical moment, four beams of subparticles were dropped from the sky and hit the Avenger, and a terrifying spark bloomed behind Ai Yuan.
"Homecoming!" Feng Yuan saw that the enemy was completely wiped out and did not stay. Three fighters rushed in the direction of the group's departure.
"Sixteen times the speed of sound!" Feng Yuan suddenly had a premonition in his heart.
"Don't be so fast, they're in front of you, and they won't lose it."
However, Feng Yuan's hunch was right. He received an urgent message from the No. 4 aircraft, and he hurriedly asked about the situation of the drone, but unfortunately, no one replied.
By the time the three of them arrived at the location where the group was located, a fight had already started. Quite a few Avengers and flying robots, and they can't find any trace of their teammates at all.
"I saw it, and there it was!" Hae-sung told Feng Yuan.
The two sub-particle fighters struggled to move forward under fire, and the color of their shields was already the weakest purple. One of them is a drone.
"Open the shield and follow me!" Feng Yuan opened fire as he flew towards his own fighters.
"It's too messy, so many enemies!" Ai Yuan didn't dare to gasp and followed closely behind the captain.
Dense artillery fire hit the shield, shaking the sub-particle fighter to the ground. Just as the three of them were desperately trying to meet with the two fighters in front of them, a huge object appeared above the three of them, and most of the sky was blocked by it.
"What's that?"
"As big as the Empress of the Sun!" The attention of the three was drawn to the sudden appearance of the behemoth.
That's right, it's a starship, the shape is a rare symmetrical clover, each 'leaf' is slightly folded upwards, and the shell is unusually grayish, absorbing all the light.
At the bottom of the clover starship, a huge ball of light was forming, and a beam of light shot outward, hitting the two sub-particle fighters that were moving forward one after the other. The drone and the six-plane disappeared just like that.
"No!" Feng Yuan couldn't accept it when he saw the drone and his teammates being destroyed like this. Damn, I'm fighting with you!
"Wait a minute, Captain!" Ai Yuan wanted to stop him, but it was too late. She and Haicheng had no choice but to rush forward at full speed to cover.
Feng Yuan approached the enemy ship, and strangely, the white ball of light at the bottom of the starship disappeared, and the starship had no intention of attacking him.
You will pay for your actions! Feng Yuan was now bent on avenging his teammates, and he flew around the enemy ship, ignoring the Avengers' attacks, and aimed the subparticle cannon at the enemy ship and opened fire......
After a few laps, the sub-particle cannon was red-eyed, but the starship was still intact.
"Captain, stop, there's no way we're going to beat it."
"As long as it uses that thing again, we're dead!"
Brian also received an order to retreat at this time.
Feng Yuan calmed down, although he was sad, he couldn't risk his best friend's life. So, he ordered, "Retreat." ”
