Chapter 68: Thunder (I)
The Corridor of Seina was an extremely important route of passage in the eastern region of the Iserath Empire. On both sides of the corridor, there are large and small meteorite objects and a large number of neutron stars and white dwarfs, and some old stars are no longer able to release warm sunlight, constantly collapsing inward, and releasing various rays outward. Countless of the harshest space environments are concentrated here, creating large areas of unnavigable areas. And the Saiina Cloister is in it, and it is a fairly safe passage.
From the hinterland of Iserras to the kingdom of Meenran, if you don't pass through the Corridor of Saina, it will take at least three days or so to go around a large circle at the speed of an ordinary ship. Before the war began, Iseras had inaugurated the corridor, making it an important military artery from Iseras to Meenland.
It can be said that the importance of the Saiina cloister is no less than that of a wormhole with a short thread.
As early as two days earlier, the local fleet stationed in the Saina Corridor had been put into combat readiness, and the local fleet, numbering about 1,200 old warships, was divided into two parts, each stationed at each end of the corridor, and no fleet was allowed to pass. Even the military fleet would never have been able to pass through this corridor without an order from the Imperial War Department. Half a day earlier, the Thirteenth Fleet, the closest garrison to the corridor, had already left for the corridor to assist the local fleet in garrisoning the corridor.
In other words, the total number of warships responsible for guarding the cloister has now reached more than sixteen thousand. Countless heavily armed warships hovered at both ends of the cloister, creating an extremely tense atmosphere. The ship in charge of reconnaissance has an extremely long cruising radius, and within a radius of 300,000 kilometers from the exit of the corridor, don't try to hide any spaceship.
……
At this time, on one side of the corridor, in the chaotic area about four million kilometers away from the corridor, there was a fleet struggling to pass through this extremely harsh starry sky. The number of this fleet was about 2,000 ships, and it was arranged in a shuttle-like formation in an extremely neat manner. In the middle of the fleet, hundreds of Swordfish-like ships were carefully protected, as if they were made of fragile glass that would shatter at the touch of a touch.
Most of the ships in the fleet are Chu Tang's Wumu-class warships, but their exterior livery is completely different from that of Chu Tang, Berwick, and Mai Yahe, the three national fleets that use Wumu-class warships, but they are all painted in purple. At the front of the fleet are more than a dozen large warships that have never appeared in any country before, larger than the Wumu class, but more agile and maneuverable, also painted in purple, and at first glance they are extremely good warships.
"Watch out for the meteorite on the right front, prepare for the second main artillery attack."
With the captain's order, the bow of the large battleship located on the far right opened a gun port, and a gun muzzle about 80 cm was exposed, shining with a trace of blue light. The recharge time is extremely short, only about ten seconds to complete the charge.
"Launch!"
I saw a sudden shock from the muzzle of the cannon, and a thick blue beam of light shot out, bombarding a celestial meteorite several times larger than the spaceship with extreme accuracy. The speed of the galloping meteorite slowed suddenly, and after a few seconds, a dazzling red ball of light erupted, and then the meteorite split apart and flew in all directions. A few small fragments flew towards the fleet, and were quickly shattered by the ship's secondary bombardment.
This is only a certain part of the fleet, in fact, the entire fleet is almost constantly using all kinds of weapons to bombard the meteorites that are constantly rampage around. In addition to meteorites, all kinds of cosmic rays are also extremely terrifying, as well as those interfering wave lines, as long as the distance between the spacecraft is more than ten kilometers, it is difficult to establish communication. Even if it's a fluke, the quality of the communication can be painful.
In front of the tip of a large battleship, Gu Yi sat in the captain's seat in the command room, frowning at the meteorites speeding on the screen.
"Hey, Lorraine, are you sure we're really okay going through this kind of?"
Lorraine was tapping something on the light brain at one end of the command room, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head and smiled: "Anla, the environment of this place is a hellish and difficult existence for those spaceships of Zhao Song in the past, and even the Weilong battleship, and it is simply wishful thinking to want to pass through." But don't forget, most of our current warships are advanced Wumu-class warships, and their defense and attack power are several times that of Weilong warships. Not to mention the fact that there are such newest warships...... Tsk, what a good ship. I heard the eldest sister say that the information of this ship seems to have been brought by Lord Shirumis when he came to the base last time, and it is the boss's most outstanding work, but unfortunately it is too difficult to manufacture, I have asked the shipyard to stop the manufacture of the Wumu warship, and fully produce this new type of warship, and in more than a month, only sixteen ships have been built. According to my estimates, the power of this new type of warship is definitely ten times more than that of Wumu-class battleships! ”
Gu Yi asked, "By the way, I don't know the name of this new warship." ”
Lorraine shook his head: "I don't know, there is only a code name on the information, not a proper name." All in all, this ship is super powerful. ”
"I know that the new warship is very powerful, although I haven't experimented with it, but I can see it from some data." Gu Yi shook his head: "I mean those Wumu-class warships, I'm worried that they won't be able to withstand the penetrating attack of the cosmic rays here." ”
Lorraine glanced at him disdainfully, and said with some arrogance: "Don't worry, before these Wumu spaceships set off, I have already added the latest livery to their appearance, which is the livery of a new warship, which can effectively penetrate the cosmic rays of hell." I really don't know how the boss researched these paints, I dare to say, if this kind of paint is bought on the market, it will definitely go crazy, whether it is a state or a commercial organization, it will be crazy to buy, and the profit of a year will be billions of imperial gold dollars. ”
"Well, you're an expert in this area anyway, and I just need to be in charge of the fleet and containment work."
As he was speaking, Gu Yi's gaze fell on the swordfish-type spaceships that were protected by layers on the screen, his expression was a little worried, he got up and walked to Lorraine's side, and whispered: "Hey, I said that your self-detonating spaceships are not safe." How I look at it, it feels like a huge bomb, and if it explodes now, the plasma burst will be enough to destroy the entire fleet here. ”
"Oh, I said why are you like this, don't you look down on my skills?" Lorraine was a little annoyed by what Gu Yi said: "If you do this again, I will stop the manufacture of new warships when I go back, and continue to build you the Wumu class......
"Don't, don't. I'm sure you're not made yet, are you? Lorraine...... Loga ...... Uncle Luo! I'm begging you, okay? Although Gu Yi is usually cold, as the only fleet commander in the base, the quality of the battleship is the thing he attaches the most importance to, and when he heard that Lorraine was going to change the battleship, he immediately became anxious.
Lorraine glanced at him: "I can't afford to be your uncle, otherwise when Zhao Song recovers, Marshal Qi won't eat me." ”
Marshal Qi is Qi Daoxue of Berwick, he is Gu Yi's father, in order to train this son, Gu Yi was kicked by Lorraine to Iseras in the early years, and followed Aurelia to organize a rebellion.
In the midst of Gu Yi's worries, the fleet shuttled through this dangerous starry sky without danger, and continued to advance towards the middle of the Saiina Corridor.
After more than ten hours, the fleet was gradually approaching the corridor, all kinds of interference and rays began to weaken, and the reconnaissance range was also released.
"The whole fleet stopped advancing, the engines went into standby, the ships maintained communication, and except for the main personnel on duty, everyone else took turns to rest. A003, A004, A005 sneak in three directions and move slowly in the direction of the corridor, maintain communication, and conduct reconnaissance of the corridor as much as possible, be careful not to alarm the enemy. ”
The order was forwarded from the flagship to the ships, the fleet slowly stopped, and some of the ships on the periphery continued to maintain an attack state, knocking out the meteorites that did not fly long at any time. The other ships went into a semi-resting state, ready for the coming big battle. The three new warships in front of them quietly advanced towards the corridor to conduct reconnaissance.
Half an hour later, Gu Yi's face was a little unsightly.
Soon, the top brass in charge of the operation gathered in the conference room of the flagship for discussion.
said that it was a meeting, but in fact, there were only four people: Gu Yi, Lorraine, Hua Yonghao and Hiluffis. According to the original plan, Gu Yi led the fleet to contain the enemy's escort fleet, and Hua Yonghao was responsible for leading the mecha force to assist Shirumis and kill the enemy's high-ranking mecha warriors. Lorraine was responsible for remotely controlling the self-detonating fleet and bombing the enemy's transport fleet.
The four of them gathered in the conference room, and the other three were a little puzzled when they saw Gu Yi's face.
"Old Gu, what's going on, are we late, the fleet has already passed?"
As soon as Hua Yonghao's voice fell, Lorraine immediately said: "This is impossible, when we entered here, we also got in touch with the 'Cook Lady' side, saying that the speed of that fleet is very slow, and it will not be able to reach the corridor until six hours at the earliest, how can it have already passed." ”
Syrophys looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Gu Yi shook his head: "No, the fleet has not yet arrived, but the situation is a little abnormal. ”
"How is it not normal?"
Gu Yi said: "According to the intelligence obtained from the reconnaissance, there are at least sixteen,000 warships stationed at both ends of the corridor. Judging by the number of the ships, it should be the thirteenth fleet of the regular fleet of Isseras. This fleet has always been stationed at the military base on the right side of the cloister near Meenland, ready to support the Maynland front or the Berwick border, and will not be used easily, let alone to protect a transport fleet. And now this fleet is here, do you think it's normal? ”
Everyone's faces suddenly became extremely ugly.
