870 Race against the clock

The main guns on the battleship and the levitating shield did not start, but the light-speed torpedo, which had long been ready to fire, started the engine and disappeared in the unfolding colorful light.

Scissors fired ten light-speed torpedoes in one go, and grinned with grinning: "When I didn't use crystal missiles, I thought light-speed torpedoes were very good, and when I used up crystal missiles, I realized that light-speed torpedoes were cattle at all." ”

After listening to this, everyone didn't understand the consciousness of the scissors, and even Jiang Xue gave an inquiring look, only Ye Fei understood the meaning - the starting speed of the light-speed torpedo is too slow, as powerful as a cow, but the speed is slow.

"Be content." Ye Fei replied thoughtlessly, his tone full of anxiety.

The scissors tried to pull the corners of their mouths, but they couldn't laugh.

The loss of the fleet was so big, he could imagine how much pressure Ye Fei had in his heart, but unfortunately he was just a weapon operation officer, so he couldn't help Ye Fei at all, let alone say something to persuade Ye Fei to look away.

With more than 1,000 casualties on three warships, how could such a big hurdle be so easy to pass?

If you change to other commanders, you may not take this casualty in your eyes, but Ye Fei has been in the army for more than 20 years, and how many heavy casualties have the troops he led?

But Scissors believes that Ye Fei can adjust his mood, but it just takes a little time.

The reconnaissance satellite was killed by the Atlanteans, and it was not possible to see if the light-speed torpedo had hit the target, and after more than twenty seconds, several flashing bright spots suddenly lit up in the dark universe ahead.

The Ares is still flying upside down, and the enemy is constantly approaching. The Ares is also constantly flying, the distance between the two sides has not narrowed, and it takes less than ten seconds for the light-speed torpedo to hit the target after flying away from the Ares of War, but the light of the target explosion takes more than ten seconds to catch up with the Ares flying away.

"Hit!" Scissors waved his arm excitedly, "It's a pity that only sixteen enemy ships were killed. ”

The optics put the magnified image on the main screen, and the sixteen destroyed enemy ships were crystal clear.

The crystal missile can only be regarded as a light missile in the human missile family, and if it is not for the advantage of the crystal engine, the performance of this missile can only be described as poor at home, and it is completely subgrade. Destroying an enemy ship at a time is not bad.

And light-speed torpedoes are not. This thing is used to deal with bone mounds, not to mention the rough skin and thick flesh, and the explosive yield of the warhead is also terrifyingly high, which is still the light-speed torpedo currently in use has been miniaturized and improved. If it is replaced with the first generation of light-speed torpedoes. It can be used directly as a power shock ship for a while.

When the scissors fired the torpedo, they deliberately aimed at two targets in a straight line. Originally, I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect to make a contribution in one fell swoop.

"If only the explosion could kill a few more enemy ships." Scissors said greedily.

"It's really not possible, after all, it's a big guy dealing with planets." Ye Fei pretended to be relaxed and said.

His mind was still haunted by the sinking of the three warships. But he understood that the facts that had happened could not be changed, and how to get the remaining battleships out intact was the most important thing he needed to do.

So Ye Fei tried his best to adjust his mood, put all the questions that he shouldn't think about behind him, and tried his best to get rid of the influence of negative feelings, and now it seems that he has finally had a little effect - his mind constantly echoes the words that Wu Han once said, and now that he thinks about it, the retired Commander-in-Chief Wu is so wise that he has long seen Ye Fei's weakness.

"Report, the Zhishen replied, the second echelon, the third echelon have converged with the Zhishen and are killing the remaining enemy forces."

It's a long story and a short story, and when the Ares firing back to the carbine, the five battleships in front have already gathered together.

"What about the next few echelons?" Ye Fei asked indifferently.

Ruan Peng immediately checked the positions of each ship: "The fifth, sixth, and seventh echelons have completed their contractions, and the Thor is on the way, and it will arrive in twenty seconds at most." ”

After the contraction of the scattered fleet, two echelons of the front and rear were again formed.

"Order the second echelon to rescue the friendly forces, and after completing the mission, move forward, and keep a distance of two light-seconds from the first echelon." At present, the position of the second echelon is roughly equivalent to the airspace where the Rain God and the Ceres blew up, and even if the explosion covers a wide area, some lucky fighters should have escaped.

If it weren't for the fact that he had rescued these warriors, Ye Fei would have stayed behind and rubbed against the Atlanteans, and would have caught up with him at a faster speed than light.

Ruan Peng immediately conveyed the order, and received a reply later: "The second echelon reports that the Flame God is rescuing the Ceres." The Ceres was damaged and had no repair value, but the enemy failed to destroy the core area of the Ceres, and only more than 20 people died in the power area. ”

Human warships focus on offensive power and more on survivability.

The highly integrated maneuvering system frees up a lot of manpower, allowing a battleship to require less than five hundred members, freeing up most of the space in the battleship.

Don't look at the total length of the Ares class reaching more than ten kilometers, but most of the space on the ship is occupied by various compartments of the armor layer and vacuum, and only the core area located in the middle of the battleship is the area where the crew works and lives.

In order to ensure the safety of the core area, the outer armor of the core area is not much thinner than the outer armor of the battleship, ensuring that the core area still has a certain protection ability in the event that the enemy penetrates the outer armor.

It's a pity that the main power area is outside the core area, and the power area must be manned during the battle, otherwise the sacrifice of more than 20 people on the Ceres, can also be avoided.

"Great!" Ye Fei suddenly felt that the pressure on his shoulders had been reduced by half, "How is the situation on the Rain God?" ”

The Rain God activated the self-destruct system, naturally it would not be as lucky as the Ceres, and Ye Fei was not asking about the battleship, but about the crew of the fleeing battleship.

Ruan Peng shook his head: "The situation is not very good, the Saturnalia has just rescued some of the personnel on the Rain, they said that although the Raingod gave the order to abandon the ship before the self-explosion, many people failed to get out of the battleship in time, and the Raingod was besieged by the enemy at that time, most of the lifeboats were destroyed by the enemy, and only the personnel who left in the air supremacy and assault ships were lucky to escape...... But several battleships fled too quickly and flew into the danger zone, and they have not appeared until now. ”

"Hopefully they started the crystal engine." Ye Fei asked in a low voice. "Is there a count on the number of survivors?"

Most crystal missiles can pass through the danger zone, and it is also possible for the crystal engine to allow the ship to be lucky to pass through the danger zone, but once the ship is out of the speed of light, what awaits the battleship is likely to be the result of ship destruction and death.
