Chapter 77: Black Darkness (2)
"Antimatter Mine Position Broken Through!"
"The enemy uses the Space Disturbance Technique, and there is a huge gap between the Ninth and Fourteenth Fleets!"
"The Sizla Silver troops have arrived, the enemy has used the Eltreum class, and the defense line is difficult to maintain!"
It was less than five minutes before Roger personally flew the plane to attack, and the entire battlefield situation took a sharp turn as expected.
Noriko Takaya and GUNBUSTER are indeed many, much stronger than in the original book, and Kasumi Amano has been able to keep up with her operations, which shows that in the past fifteen years, my sister has indeed never slackened.
Jung had already abandoned the disguise of Sizla Black and directly used the Brave King form, although Kashiwahara still drove the seemingly normal Sizla Silver, but the results of the other members of the "Silver" team combined were even less than a fraction of her captain's.
Not to mention Roger's side, with the DG real body and the home field bonus, he seems to have been completely surpassed by his own students before, and his strength has really shown his leapfrog growth. With the power of one man and one machine, almost a quarter of the position was guarded......
It's a pity that the enemy is also several times stronger than in the original book. With the comprehensive suppression of tens of billions of orders at every turn, and the decisive use of dimensional techniques, even if the Silver Heart Fleet risks the same fate to intercept the enemy, it is still very likely that it will not be effective at all.
From beginning to end, the purpose of the cosmic monster side is quite clear.
Whether it's a ramming, a light bullet, or a self-detonation, the only target is the Buster III.
Relatively speaking, the killing and damage of individual human fleets does not seem to be within the opponent's combat range at all.
"In a good place, the miracle of your excellent student may actually be realized."
In this case, it can still appear to be at ease. Probably only DG. Even the outer electromagnetic shield of Unit 3 had been completely shattered once in the eleventh batch of attacks of the Cosmic Monster. Fortunately, the strengthened dimensional shield inside is still powerful, so that the body of the third machine has not been impacted so far, but it is enough to make the human side led by Admiral Tashiro have a false alarm.
"There are still 17 minutes left until the implosion, and at any cost, you must stick to the body of the third machine!"
The old admiral was full of neutrality, and tens of thousands of warships of all sizes in the whole fleet were even more indiscriminately bombarded at the enemy at any cost, without any self-protection action or formation at all. Unfortunately, this kind of attack can barely be used when used in the Super Exelion class, but when the enemy finally appears in the Super Eltreum class, or even the thousand-kilometer satellite class, a whole fleet salvo can only kill one or two of the opponent at best, and only worsen the situation.
When the first cosmic monster finally succeeded in hitting the body of Unit 3, there were still a full sixty-five seconds left before the scheduled implosion time.
On the surface, it seems to be only about a minute at best, but in fact it is extremely dangerous time.
Or it should be said that if it weren't for the fact that the Cosmic Monster side was forced to use a giant entity when it broke through the defense, and the BUSTER No. 3 with a total length of 869 kilometers would have a limited bomb area under the attack of the giant Cosmic Monster, I am afraid that the Samsara team and the Silver Heart Fleet would have tried their best to reverse the current battle situation that was obviously heading towards defeat.
For example, a thousand-kilometer-level (I don't know if the so-called galaxy-level in the setting) huge cosmic monsters can only launch direct attacks at the same time at best, and other cosmic monsters can't intervene at all - of course, the enemy will never be so stupid, this huge parabolic antenna-shaped cosmic monster is currently held together in groups of two for transportation penetration operations......
"Is this a blessing in disguise?" Emptying the enemy in front of him again, Roger did not suffer any damage to himself or his body, but the black pressure in the field of vision was full of enemies, and there was no figure of his own warship at all.
The other reincarnation team members and plane heroines were obviously not so easy, so the next one could only be DG, "Didn't you think at all that the size of the No. 3 machine, like the mass-produced Sizla, was a supporting product in the same system project from the very beginning?" β
"Eltreum, are fourth- and fifth-generation warships like Exelion included?"
"Nonsense, what's the practical point of creating a warship alone that is completely incompatible with the existing military power? This is not the Yamato model that a bear throws into a bathtub. β
"Then there is only the last question, will the enemy break the jar and rush to carry out a large-scale directional self-explosion? It won't cause a chain reaction, but it will be enough to disperse the formation of the No. 3 machine or the Silver Heart fleet? β
"I'm finally able to ask a question that has been a little bit brainy...... However, instead of worrying about this, it is more practical to directly guard against the opponent's total destruction from the three thousand auxiliary detonation points at the same time......"
Well, no matter how you look at it, it is true that DG's thinking is relatively clear and comprehensive.
As she herself said, it is not easy to formulate a plan for the complete destruction of the human side, and the problem that Roger just thought of from the battlefield had already been proposed and simulated in the early stages of the drafting. The response was surprisingly simple β
Until the implosion is fully carried out, as long as the composite shroud and sufficiently thick armor can withstand it on its own, the core retraction furnace will not be affected in any way. On the other hand, self-detonation or light bullet saturation attacks that can reach the "effective" level will inevitably cause early retraction under the measures of self-disarming of the shield and armor.
Not having to wait for that minute or so is a great thing for the human side.
"It's no wonder that this kind of suicide attack has always had a market in terrorist activities throughout the ages......"
Although there was obviously a consistent reluctance in his tone, Roger's side had clearly understood the problem of the completeness of the plan in this regard. As for whether it is really necessary to inspect the three thousand auxiliary explosion points around the entire silver heart...... This obviously belongs to the category that DG can do with his doppelganger, where is his turn to worry about?
In short, with fifty seconds left before the implosion time, another wave of attacks from the cosmic monster came to naught.
On the side of the Silver Heart Fleet, nearly 6,000 warships were half-destroyed, and nearly 10,000 Sizla crews could not be put into battle again, and countless people were wounded.
But, as Noriko Takaya declared before the war, even though the entire fleet had already suffered such huge losses, so far no one had been killed.
A miracle seems to be right around the corner.
Forty-five seconds to the end, the cosmic monster side changed back to the super Exelion-level intensive charge, and the Sizla White troops led by Linda were all forced to withdraw from the battlefield after the death, and a quarter of the Sizla Silver remained, and the Sizla Black troops suffered the lightest losses under Jung's care, intentionally or unintentionally, but only less than half of them were still able to hold on to the battle.
ROGER HAS TAKEN OVER MORE THAN TWO-FIFTHS OF THE TOTAL AREA OF THE DEFENSE, AND THE OTHER THREE-FIFTHS ARE MAINTAINED BY GUNBUSTER AND THE SILVERHEART FLEET.
The True Meteor Butterfly Sword and the Super Polar Lightning Kick appeared in the sky above the third machine at the same time, and the cosmic monster still failed in this round of attacks.
In the countdown of twelve seconds, four thousand-kilometer-level cosmic monsters simultaneously WARP-OUT, launching their first long-range beam attack in a regular tetrahedral vertex formation.
This sudden attack even exceeded DG's pre-battle calculations, and the enemy's concentrated fire attack was quite powerful, but after DG and Eltreum's emergency calculations, it was found that these four beams only cleverly avoided the direct attack on the core retraction furnace of the third machine, regardless of whether the human side maintained the shield and armor or not, they obviously only played a "peeling" role......
"It's insidious, these bugs." A suspicious twist appeared near the Venerable Gundam's right fist. Routinely, there is no such thing as a special move, and the glowing beam in the face of Roger disappeared without a trace.
βBUSTER-SHIELDοΌβ , the heroine of the plane, uses a relatively safe way to attack. Behind GUNBUSTER is Eltreum and a large number of remnants of the fleet, and although Noriko Takaya is a daring artist, she must also consider whether her comrades will be implicated if she fails to meet them, right?
Jung's Cizla Black was much more bold, and the other black-painted production machines had already flown out of the war zone on their own. As always, it does not conform to the combat style of the reincarnation on the intellectual side - "SIZZLER-BEAM!! "Attack after attack, meet and finish.
After that, for a full ten seconds, there was no fourth voice in the communication channels and psychic links.
"BUSTER III is alive!"
"Retreat, start!"
Admiral Tashiro did not hesitate to give the long-awaited final order, although the Sizla silver piloted by Kashiwahara seemed to have suddenly lost contact, but her safety alone could not be compared with the future of the entire human race, so the old admiral did not have any distraction in this regard.
At least, on the surface, yes.
Fortunately, soon, the latest battlefield information came from the first officer's seat: "Lieutenant Colonel Kashiwahara was found half a kilometer away from the port side armor of the No. 3 plane, and the physiological index was normal. β
The identification signal belongs to Kashiwahara and not to Sizla Silver?
"I'm sorry, DG, but it looks like I'm going to have to ask you to reorder it again."
Accompanied by a slight cough, Kashiwahara's voice also sounded in the spiritual connection.
DG's battlefield surveillance clone soon obtained a directional video signal, and on the black armored shell of the third machine, a huge "crater" was in the middle of a huge "crater" that was obviously no less than that caused by the Super Eltreum-class full-speed collision and self-explosion, and Kashiwahara was half-sitting there, and his coat gradually changed from an ordinary pilot's suit to a spacesuit.
Judging from this information, although it is obvious that the Sizla Silver did not directly intercept the enemy's beam attack like the other three directions due to problems such as the performance of the body itself, it seems that this last shot did not really penetrate near the retraction furnace - a little calculation also shows that this half-kilometer "shallow pit" is at least dozens of kilometers away from the retraction furnace - and then although the body itself has been completely finished, the nearby DG cells are obviously still active enough, Therefore, Kashiwahara can even be included in the list of survivors without exposing the transformation of the big sword.
Then, the attacks on the cosmic monster's side finally stopped.
"The enemy's main force, hold still."
Maybe it's a struggle between continuing to fight and escaping? One coach was visibly overly optimistic.
The careless guy didn't notice at all that after Admiral Tashiro gave the order to start the retreat, the "system successfully activated" prompt that should theoretically have appeared immediately did not sound for a long time.
This time, from the position of the first officer, it was unbelievably bad news.
"The control stick activation rate is only 97%, and the retraction cannot start."
"Ninety-seven percent? What the hell is going on with this figure that is one percent lower than the so-called original book?! β
In the spiritual link, Roger's thunderous voice roared.
No one answered him directly, and the camera, still from the site of Kashiwahara's wreck, shifted slightly to the left and right.
There was an open space near the crater, and the control rods at the edges were all over the place.
Those damn guys, did they even think about this kind of detail?
"Eltreum, all non-combatants off board!"
"Near the third plane, all the warships and crews have been evacuated!!"
At the critical moment, the first to react was Admiral Tashiro.
"Old man, be a hero with me again."
After the old admiral gave the order, he slowly leaned back in his chair, and the first mate, who was supposed to be sitting in his place, had quietly stood behind him on the right side at some point, just like the scene that had never been thunderous for decades. "No problem. But you remember one thing wrong, it was the young people who became heroes before, and it wasn't our old man's turn once. β
Inside the command, there was calm.
There was also calm in Eltreum.
Numerous lifeboats have long been lit up with striking yellow lights at the entrances, but all the dinghys are empty.
"Report to the Admiral, there are no non-combatants on our ship!"
"You ...... Okay, whatever......"
Admiral Tashiro did not straighten up the upper body leaning on the back of the chair with a solemn appearance, but instead gently pulled the brim of the military hat on his head to the bottom of the head twice, "The shipboard retracts the furnace engine, and starts at full power!" β
"No, this time, we still want to come!"
In the communication channel, Noriko Takaya's voice resounded throughout the fleet.
On the stereoscopic projection of the headquarters, the serious face of the first heroine of the plane wearing a blue headband also appeared.
"Takaya, carry out the order!"
"No, Admiral, you or anyone else has no experience in detonating black hole bombs, and Eltreum's adventure will most likely only be exchanged for more respite from the cosmic monsters!"
Then, the voice of the pilot of the second BUSTER also sounded, "Moreover, the next work of resisting the enemy's main force also needs to be led by the flagship." β
"You two, don't take this chance to die with us useless old men!" Not only did the old man Tashiro continue to have a high tone, but even the content did not have the sense and composure of the past.
Therefore, this kind of stopping line can't sway the heroines of the plane, and Noriko Takaya has already used a low-power BEAM to blast a road to the retraction furnace, manipulating the body to move forward in a straight line, so the side of Amano Kasumi, who has more room to answer the flagship, is obviously much calmer. "Of all the warships and crews in the fleet, only the GUNBUSTER is equipped with a double retraction. We are the only combat unit that can ensure that the mission is completed while still having a safe chance of returning. β
Eltreum Command, silence.
"GUNBUSTER, ENTER THE FOURTH ARMOR LAYER OF MACHINE THREE."
The old admiral closed his eyes helplessly, and the first mate behind him still stood straight, "Captain, even if Eltreum pursues with all his strength now, I'm afraid it won't be too late to get there before GUNBUSTER." β
"I know the way, the hateful first cut and then the play."
β¦β¦
THE BEAM BOMBARDMENT OF GUNBUSTER JUST NOW WAS NOT A PURE DESTRUCTIVE INTENT IN ITSELF, AND WITH THE COOPERATION OF THE MANY BACK DOORS RESERVED BY THE DG FOR EACH ARMOR LAYER, THE TEMPORARY DESCENT PASSAGE WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE GUNBUSTER'S HUGE BODY.
Even, it doesn't matter what a body looks like.
"Hey, if it's a parody of the original, you should have deformed the body and rushed in directly."
WITH JUNG'S FLAT VOICE, SIZIRA'S BLACK FLASHED NEXT TO GUNBUSTER ALMOST INSTANTLY.
Therefore, it was Kasumi Amano who answered her, "In the same way, you should have chased and fallen from behind us, instead of teleporting so directly." β
Then, instead of proceeding directly, the creak of the previous finely shredded metal deformation gradually began to sound.
High temperature and high pressure, compressed to 1/30,000 of Jupiter's original volume. It seems that it is really difficult to tell whether the heavy armor that built the large size of the Buster III was used to prevent more aether impact or to restrain the internal pressure.
"The surface temperature is 1,600 degrees Celsius, and the external pressure is 15,600 TPM, and the details of the original work are always reproduced amazingly consistently."
My sister's voice shattered the silence that had existed within the spiritual link.
This is a public channel, and Kashiwahara has not taken the initiative to speak out for a while because of the self-blame caused by his mistake just now, which almost caused a catastrophe. As for Roger, he's probably spent most of his time with DG, so there's no need to count on it either.
What will happen next is clear to both Jung and Noriko Takaya and Kasumi Amano.
What they know better is that the other party who has made a decision must not be easily dismissed in a few words, even if the communication signals between the two planes and Eltreum are still interacting in real time, but with DG's intelligence control, all this is not a problem.
Then, with the "explanation" of my sister just now, the squeezing dislocation sound that clearly came from the shell of the body continued to become louder. Since the threshold for self-repair of damage has not yet been reached, the DG cells attached to both bodies are not activated.
"IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE GUNBUSTER CAN FULLY WITHSTAND THE PRESSURE ON JUPITER'S SURFACE."
This line, which is completely contrary to the original book, can obviously only come from Jung's mouth, and the plane heroines also know very well that her body wearing the black vest of Sizla is at the level of the Brave King or above. It's just that due to the excessive consumption in the previous battles, in order to accept supplies and temporary repairs, it is often changed back to the mass-produced Sizira shape.
So from just now, it was actually only the GUNBUSTER side that made the metallic distortion sound, and although Sizirahei still maintained a mass production attitude, in fact, judging from the outer armor that twisted on its own on a small scale from time to time, it was clear that Jung had already used the DG prototype-level heat and pressure resistance standard.
Noriko Takaya, who hadn't taken off her serious expression until just now, suddenly smiled, "No matter how strong your body is, you still can't go down with us." β
Without waiting for Jung to speak, the second half of the sentence from Kasumi Amano was tightly connected, "It takes a lot of time to make a retraction furnace out of thin air, and even with the full assistance of DG, the possibility of your machine producing a second retraction furnace before we land is still zero." β
"Have you forgotten that I can also do solo WARP or FOLD myself?" Jung wanted to make his tone as relaxed as possible, but no matter how he listened to it, it was still clearly mixed with a lot of gnashing of teeth.
Noriko shook her head and smiled, and it was still her sister who answered, "It's a pity that in order to determine the retraction effect, the person on the mission must use the naked eye to confirm that the detonation is successful before leaving." Regardless of whether WARP or FOLD is activated, the collapse effect caused by the breaking point will be severely affected. 12,000 years of drifting, you don't know the reason, right? β
"I can still leave with the instructor, and even if the mission fails, it may not have any negative impact on me."
"However, you promised to protect the earth and protect this plane on our behalf, right?"
"I regretted it."
"Well, let's ask you again."
"It's fraud!"
On Jung's side, there was finally a creaking sound of the outer armor twisting under the weight, but both Noriko Takaya and Kasumi Amano knew very well that this was not due to the rapid increase in the pressure of the surrounding environment as the two planes gradually approached the surface of Jupiter.
The source of the pressure and distortion that was enough to overwhelm Sizlahei was Jung himself.
Now is not the time to congratulate Jung on the success of the spiritual force field, this former ordinary high school student, and now the newcomer's intellectual side reincarnation is immature, the most important thing at present is to persuade her to leave here sensibly, calmly and objectively?
So, my sister used the most powerful magic weapon, "...... Actually, Jung, have you ever thought about what 97% just now? β
"You...... You ......"
"Yes, what if a large retraction furnace is still not enough to cause the chain reaction of the third machine?"
With a bang, the holographic projection screen in the upper left corner of Jung's head directly collapsed into spiderweb-like cracks under the action of an unknown force.
Then, after choking for more than ten seconds, Jung's voice resounded with great difficulty and intermittently:
"Give it to me...... Remember...... I'll be sure to ...... it myself Welcome, to you...... ...... coming back"
The first to respond to Jung's sentence was the unpretentious smile on Noriko Takaya's face, "It can't be just, it's just you." β
"Hmmm......"
The smile still shone on the stereoscopic projection of the Eltreum headquarters, "See you again, Jung." β
"In that messy original book, there is only one sentence, which really suits me." Next was my sister's flat voice, "I won't say goodbye, I'll go back when I go." β
