Chapter 240: Battle of the Divine Citadel - The Victory of the Fried Rice
At this time, the Divine Citadel was like a super-large fireworks, and although Jace's cannonball was blocked after hitting the shield of the Destiny Transcendental, its powerful kinetic energy was still not completely absorbed by the shield, and a "small part" of kinetic energy was successfully released from the projectile.
Although it was only a small part of the projectile, it was also extremely powerful kinetic energy, which was converted into light and heat after hitting the shield and released, increasing the brightness of the inside of the fortress by several orders of magnitude! It was as if countless oversized flashbangs appeared in the entire castle at once, and those who took pictures couldn't see anything clearly.
If it weren't for the strong light protection system on Shen Chao's helmet, which helped them block 99.5% of the light radiation, they would have been temporarily blind by this time.
Seeing that the first round of shelling was not effective, hundreds of Jace fighters immediately rushed out of the battleship, all of them carrying pulse-jamming torpedoes and plasma torpedoes to rush towards the enemy.
It appears that they are trying to get these planes close to the Manifest Destiny and release these torpedoes at close range, in order to destroy the Destiny Transcendent's shields and armor at close range.
In the face of such tremendous pressure, the Destiny Transcendent quickly jumped into battle and unleashed her prowess as a unique supership among the galaxy's most intelligent races.
I saw that she launched an equally large number of fighter jets out to meet the enemy fighters, delaying the opponent's interference methods, and on the other hand, the main and secondary guns were full of firepower, and the Jace battleship on the opposite side launched a confrontation.
The Destiny Transcendent methodically began the battle against the enemy's 26 warships on its own. Anyway, at this time, the fortress has been completely blocked.
Under such circumstances, Jace's huge fleet outside could not enter the Citadel, the Destiny Transcendent could not get out, and neither side could get any outside support.
So there's nothing more to say now, let's fight! The Destiny Transcendent can only survive by overturning nearly 30 times the enemy in front of it, and the same is true for Jace on the other side. This makes the overlord who is trying to crack the security system of the Citadel not far away a bit like a soy sauce.
In other words, the ratio of 1 to 26 is indeed a bit desperate, even if the other party is a cruiser one level lower than her relative to her, but it can't stop the ants from biting the elephant.
It makes sense of common sense. In the face of such a superior number of cruiser enemies, any dreadnought should soon be in a tragedy. For example, the Touareg dreadnought that had just been tragic on the outskirts of the Citadel just a few minutes ago, such a ratio of enemies to friends meant that the firepower was one-sided.
Although the firepower of ordinary dreadnoughts is more than ten times stronger than that of a single battleship of the opponent, the number of main guns is limited after all, and the charging is slow and the steering is troublesome...... The overall firepower and protection cannot be compared with such a detachment in any way.
So, as a rule, a dreadnought encounters such a situation alone is basically equivalent to a death sentence. But the Destiny Transcendent is not an ordinary warship after all, let alone an ordinary dreadnought.
Not much smaller than the Overlord, she has the largest Mass Effect Core in the galaxy, and the shield strength generated is much stronger than that of the opponent's entire fleet. The firepower is even more powerful.
Although the firepower of the main guns of the Jace cruiser on the opposite side was also extremely powerful. The salvo is very powerful. But the Destiny Transcendent resisted, and quickly launched a powerful counterattack.
With a round of fire from hundreds of secondary guns on her hull, the tide quickly reversed. Under precise fire control, and absolutely powerful firepower, 4 of Jace's cruisers were immediately torn apart by the powerful firepower of the Destiny Transcendent.
One of these cruisers was clearly hit in the power core, and immediately exploded like a high-yield hydrogen bomb. It's hard for the average person to imagine what it would be like for a Mass Effect battleship to explode after being hit at the core. …,
At the moment of the explosion, Shen Chao's eyes were full of white light, and nothing in the outside world could be seen. This is also because they have military-grade light protectors on their helmets.
This protection helps them block more than 99.99% of the light radiation generated by the explosion when the outside light exceeds the safety threshold. Otherwise, they would all be permanently blind by now.
The explosion was accompanied by a large shock wave, and the cruiser that was hit was only 3 to 4 kilometers away from the nearest armguard, and the huge ball of light from its explosion hit the armguard. Then there was a strong linkage effect within the fortress.
After the white light disappeared, Shen Chao, who was knocked to the ground, got up and glanced at the location of the original few Jace cruisers, where there were two more Jace battleships, I don't know if they were swept up by the explosion just now or killed by the firepower of the Destiny Transcendent.
Not only that, but there were also large scorched black marks on the first cantilever of the fortress guard area near the center of the explosion, and it seemed that the blocks within a few kilometers of the explosion center had been completely destroyed! The kind that doesn't even have rubble left!
As I mentioned earlier, the arm guard that was affected was 3 or 4 kilometers away from the exploding Jace cruiser! At least 2 kilometers in the middle is free of air and does not propagate shock waves.
So the effect of that exploding cruiser on the following should be the effect of an ultra-high-altitude air explosion. Theoretically, the impact on the ground is relatively small.
In this way, the intensity and scope of the light radiation produced by the explosion of the two Jace cruisers must be very exaggerated. It should have reached the level of a 10-million-ton hydrogen bomb!
This yield is thousands of times that of the atomic bomb that fell on Hiroshima, if it weren't for the distance, and the sphere of influence of the main explosion of the frigate was mainly the vacuum inside the fortress, Shen Chao and they should have been blown up to the sky by this time!
"Damn it, get the good stuff." Let's go ......" Shen Chao immediately pulled Alice and Custer after thinking about this, opened a space-time door and immediately passed through it as fast as he could.
He suddenly remembered that the energy cores of most of the warships in this world were light element fusion cores, and some of them were even equipped with antimatter energy cores that had become popular in the past two years.
Either way, it will explode upon being hit, releasing a ruining energy. The core of the wrecked cruiser was clearly a fusion core. So the explosion effect is relatively "small". But even this is already a threat to them who are not far away.
In this way, the current Divine Citadel is too dangerous, even their location has suffered a huge impact of the explosion just now, and if this battle continues, the Divine Citadel will soon become a place full of super explosions.
In such an extreme environment, although their chances of survival will be higher than those of ordinary people in the Divine Citadel, there will be no essential difference. It has become impossible to observe up close.
As soon as he passed through the space-time gate, Shen Chao immediately beckoned everyone to stay away from the opening direction of the space-time gate, hiding behind the prepared prefabricated bunker, if there was a big explosion near the space-time gate opening area of the opposite plane, they would not be torn apart by the explosion that rushed over.
When they crossed back, they didn't forget to pull the equipment line back, so as long as Shen Chao kept the space-time gate open, they could continue to observe the movements inside the Divine Fortress.
Shen Chao gated the space-time control at a diameter the size of a football, and only pulled the control line over, although there would be some time difference, but it did not affect their observation.
At this time, the battle inside the fortress had just begun, because the explosion of the Jace cruiser just now slightly blocked the view of the warring parties, and the powerful light radiation interfered with the detection devices of both sides at close range, so the battle only started again after the explosion. …,
Because the formation was very dense, when the cruiser exploded just now, several nearby Jace battleships were affected, and the two Jace cruisers, which were already dissatisfied with the shield and were too close, were swept into it by the violent explosion. Dozens of warplanes from both sides were also affected in the explosion just now.
Jace lost 4 cruisers in the first round of firefighting. In addition, the shields of several other Jace warships that were too close were obviously weakened a lot by the explosion just now, and the overall protection level of the Jace fleet dropped a lot.
Despite this, there was only a slight pause on both sides, the Destiny Transcendent activated the backup detection equipment, and Jace adjusted the formation slightly, and then the second round of firefighting began.
Due to the incredible number of secondary cannons of the Destiny Transcendent, there were hundreds of them. Therefore, the attacking Jace fighters did not last long, and it only took a few minutes to be wiped out under the double suppression of the Destiny Transcendental's secondary artillery crossfire and fighter group.
Jace's fleet managed to launch only a few pulse torpedoes into their designated locations before they were completely wiped out, and as they exploded, they unleashed powerful pulses of electromagnetic interference that weakened the Destiny Transcendent's shields a bit.
If it were an ordinary cruiser, a random pulse torpedo would have zeroed out its shield, turning a battleship into a living target without shield.
But such a powerful blow only weakened the shield of the Destiny Transcendental. Judging by her fighting stance, it should be that the shield still has a great deal left.
It can be seen that the name of the Destiny Transcendent is not blown out, and this super dreadnought really has the strength comparable to the overlord in all aspects. After this, the Destiny Transcendent's powerful main cannon was also fully charged, and began to pour fire on the Jace fleet.
The Destiny Transcendent's main gun fire poured down on several Jace battleships very quickly. Looking at her foaming rate, the main gun definitely did not have full charge energy, so it was impossible to increase the projectile to the highest speed.
But even so, the Destiny Transcendent's firepower is still extremely powerful, capable of reaching the level of ordinary dreadnoughts, and a single shot can break through the powerful shields of the Jace cruiser and tear the unprotected hull to shreds. RQ
