Lin Youde was speechless, what the hell, if this is a deception, it seems to be too inferior.

"I'm just saying we should get rid of the ship's name and ship's number, right?" Nhleko complained, "You have to keep the gunwales and say it's going to bring good luck or something......"

"I didn't say that." Lin Youde immediately denied it.

"That's what the crew wants." Xia Yongzhi helped, "You are still coaxing along." ”

The Pop messenger came again: "We're about to be overwhelmed, please help, we'll pay the credits!" ”

"Commander, we are soldiers," Enleko said sternly, "even if we take off our uniforms and brush off the ship's number, we are still soldiers, how can soldiers ignore the safety of civilians?" ”

"We'll be out of the pirate ship's warp damping field in thirty seconds."

Xia Yongzhi reported.

That's when something magical happened, and the pirates began to turn their fire on the Enterprise.

"The shield capacity is starting to increase, and the pirates are firing mass bullets and plasma ammunition at us, and the temperature in some areas of the shell is rising, presumably from laser weapons."

Xia Yongzhi's report suddenly became urgent and urgent, and at the same time as she reported, the pirates' communication also came: "Human Starship Enterprise, you have good things in your ship that someone bought at a large price, if you hand it over obediently, we will spare you from dying!" Jokes, you all have to die if you don't pay it or not. ”

"Damn, boss, hurry up and tell the poppers that we'll help get the credits!" Enleko urged, "Anyway, it's going to be a battle, so spend some money!" ”

De Niro focused on another matter: "Now that Popper's merchant fleet and pirates are in contact with us, what about the remaining warring party?" Do you want us to reach out to them? ”

Lin Youde is also pondering this question. The situation in front of us is so strange that it is understandable that pirates are fighting merchant fleets. What is the origin of the fight on both sides of the remaining side?

"I analyzed the design style of the ship," Noah now plays in the normal battleship master computer. "It's not the same as the ship style of the known races of the Galactic Council, but the design style of the spaceship is very strange, and it may be the unique design of which faction."

Xia Yongzhi's side has completely entered the combat state: "The Italian cannon is loaded, and the action is fast!" The carrier-based aircraft are ready to go out to destroy the opponent's carrier-based aircraft, and judging from the current situation, the ship has the advantage in terms of shield capacity and firepower projection power. ”

"Do we have the upper hand?" Lin Youde asked in an uncertain tone.

"Yes, we have the upper hand, won't you see the results of Noah's analysis for yourself?"

At this time, Lin Youde had already checked the results of Noah's calculations by himself, and indeed the Enterprise did not consider the Italian cannon. It has a slight advantage in terms of firepower projection efficiency and so on.

While the pirates had one ship slightly larger than the Enterprise, several of the others were much smaller than the Enterprise, and the larger ship might not be as powerful as the Enterprise, which had been reinforced with special firepower, because it was carrying a large damper that was far more effective than a normal warp damper.

In fact, at this time, the enterprise number with full firepower will know which side is more powerful at a glance.

"Judging from the wreckage, the opponent's firepower was originally stronger than ours, but it lost a lot in the battle with the other two sides." While analyzing, Noah marked the wreckage identified by the enterprise's reconnaissance equipment, and also provided a download of the wreckage's appearance image.

"The Italian cannon is loaded." Nhleko reported, "Ready to launch at any time." ”

Xia Yongzhi opened fire without saying a word.

This time it was also a "shotgun", spraying all sorts of miscellaneous things from Italian cannons and rushing at the target at the speed of light. In an instant, the shield of the target ship was reduced to a small capacity.

Xia Yongzhi immediately adjusted the external fire of the Enterprise, locking the attack on the small ship, and after a few seconds, it was reduced to fragments.

"Italian cannon reloading."

At this time, an enemy ship was specially marked by Noah, and Xia Yongzhi immediately said, "I know I noticed it." It's not that easy to get on the board. However, deck officer, the enemy may want to engage in broadside combat, so organize a defense. ”

The Enterprise's firepower has been adjusted again. Considerable firepower was concentrated on enemy ships that wanted to take sides.

In hand-to-hand combat like this, the maneuvering and dodging of large ships is of little significance. Because enemy ammunition hits you almost instantly, the art of command becomes the art of pure firepower.

Because both sides have been shining laser weapons at each other. Therefore, it is necessary to rotate the hull to ensure that the laser weapons do not continue to illuminate the same position, and at the same time increase the difficulty of the enemy to continuously illuminate the ship's equipment with laser weapons - after all, not all equipment can hide under the armor with anti-laser coating, and the most important ones in the exposed weapons have shields, and they will be in a state of dealing with energy beam weapons until the main shield fails, and these devices will generally be safe as long as they are not continuously irradiated. But in addition to these devices, there are other things on the hull shell that are not important enough to be protected by shields, but if destroyed, they will affect the combat effectiveness of the ship, and the target of laser weapons is often this secondary equipment.

As a defender, rotating hulls are one of the most effective ways to protect this secondary equipment.

How to effectively organize the firepower of the battleship under the condition that the hull is constantly changing speed and rotation, and arranging the output target and output sequence of each turret are the most important responsibilities of the ship commander in hand-to-hand combat.

Through Noah, Lin Youde knew that Xia Yongzhi's brain was going all out, commanding the huge group of weapons on the surface of the Enterprise.

In order to reduce her burden, she handed over all the weapons operated by the Tula people to the Tula people, and only gave them a general order, while the remaining weapons controlled by the fire control computer were all arranged by Xia Yongzhi to shoot targets and shooting schedules.

On a real warship, these weapons groups are usually in charge of a sub-commander, and Xia Yongzhi's can focus on target designation and ship control, but now the Enterprise is desperately short of personnel. Lin Youde couldn't help but think that it would be good to let the Tula people send more dolphins on board when he was in Tula.

However, in order for dolphins to operate human weapons, they have to modify their weapons, at least install a system compatible with the dolphins' brains, and the software upgrade is simple. However, the hardware upgrade work is complicated and time-consuming. The Dolphins now operate Tula weapons mounted directly on the warship, with each dolphin responsible for a weapon group.

The Tula are focused on dealing with carrier-based aircraft that will swing around. Together with the combat boat that took off from the Enterprise, the inside of the Enterprise's shield was secured, so this time the Enterprise did not open a series of holes in the combat boat that was rushed into the shield like the last time when the Wyvern was singled out.

However, the ship's damage management system continued to report damage. Damage management robots are always busy.

When the pirate ship that wanted to come up to pick up the side disintegrated directly, Enleko reported: "The Italian cannon has been loaded, and this time it has more large pieces of ammunition. ”

"Got it." Xia Yongzhi responded by adjusting the course of the ship's hull, pointing the muzzle of the Italian cannon at the flagship of the pirates, so to name it.

This time, Xia Yongzhi didn't even shout the password to open the cannon, and directly let the Italian cannon fire according to the recorded shooting Zhu Yuan.

The pirate flagship's shield lost a long strip of capacity, and then the immovable ship began to turn - the pirates were heading in roughly the same direction as the Enterprise to ensure that the Enterprise was always covered by their warp damping field, but after eating an Italian cannon, they directly coaxed and began to turn and prepare to run away (the pirate ship happened to be caught in the warp damping field of the Pop merchant ship). The devil knows why the merchant fleet drove a warp damping field).

Seeing that the flagship began to run, the other small pirate ships immediately gave up attacking the Enterprise, and also drove away from the Enterprise at full speed - but this was obviously just a habitual action, and it didn't take a few seconds for the pirate captains to realize that the Enterprise did not have a warp damping field, so they simply turned off their damping field, set the warp engine, and fled.

One of the ships was shielded by the Enterprise before it could run, and then it disintegrated.

The warp engine, which had already been activated, suddenly lost a stable energy supply, causing a small space concussion, and the uncontrolled gravitational waves spread out to the surrounding area. This triggers the bell slow effect.

Noah immediately gave an estimate of the slow clock, and the clock of the Enterprise affected by the gravitational wave was roughly a millionth of a second slower than the non-affected clock.

"We can use Ansebo to communicate with the future." Enleko said excitedly, "I want to say hello to the world in a millionth of a second." ”

There is now a perception in the galactic scientific community that one day Ansebo will be able to communicate with ships in warp speed. The reason for this is that the current Ansebo communication has actually crossed the temporal distortion created by artificial gravitational waves - in fact, the entire galaxy is in a de facto temporal distortion, but the magnitude of the distortion is very, very small, and almost negligible.

This theory is extended outward. Time travel is feasible because Ansebo communication itself is communication across time. Ansebo passed through the temporal confusion caused by gravitational waves and realized instant communication across the galaxy.

Of course, these are all conjectures of scientists. For the general public, time travel or something is just a talking point.

However, Lin Youde now has a guy by his side who is said to be able to travel time.

[It's not that I can travel in time. 】

Lin Youde decided to ignore this issue for the time being.

Xia Yongzhi asked him at this time: "The enemy is about to leave the warp damping field of the Pop people, should we open our own damping field and continue to pursue them?" ”

"No, I don't have to." Lin Youde shook his head, "Don't rush to fire at the pirates after the Italian cannon is loaded, we still have unknown friends to deal with." ”

"Understood."

Lin Youde once again turned his attention to the fleet of unknown ships and ship design styles that had never been seen before, they had a total of four ships, and when Lin Youde and the others attacked the pirates, these unknown guys did not move the Enterprise - in fact, they stopped attacking the pirates and the Pops.

The moment before the pirate flagship turned on the warp speed, he sent a message to Lin Youde: You wait for me, and I will come back.

Noah didn't wait for Lin Youde's instructions, so he replied, "Okay, I'll wait." Remember to bring me meat as a gift. ”

After the pirates left at warp speed, Lin Youde instructed Noah: "Contact the Poppers and see what they know about these four ships." (To be continued......)
