It is common to use missiles against MechWarriors, but the images of using a large number of medium-range missiles against a MechWarrior have been few in the nearly twenty years since MechWarriors appeared.

"The missile model is the Imperial 2075-B supersonic medium-range missile, with a maximum range of 2,500 kilometers, a maximum cruising altitude of 160 kilometers, a hit accuracy of 50 meters, a maximum cruising speed of Mach 2.27, and a current cruising speed of Mach 1.93, an estimated strike time of thirty-six minutes and thirty-two seconds, and a number of ...... One hundred. ”

This number has left many people in a lost voice.

As a matter of fact, for this war, which has lasted for more than 20 years, 100 medium-range missiles can be described as a drop in the bucket, and the number of missiles used in a local war may exceed this number.

The so-called hypersonic missiles are actually very common on alien planets, and many missiles on Azure stars that cannot reach supersonic speed can easily achieve supersonic speed when used on alien planets, which is determined by the atmospheric environment of alien planets.

But when the target of these hundred missiles was just a mecha warrior, it was enough to shock everyone.

But everyone can understand this behavior of the Empire.

The Imperial 2075-B supersonic medium-range missile is the Imperial missile that first appeared on the alien battlefield in 2075, and according to estimates, the cost of a single missile of this kind is not less than 10 million federal coins, which may theoretically be less when converted into resources for the Empire, because the Empire is a feudal monarchy.

A hundred is about a billion.

And the cost of the Imperial Mecha that was broken by Ji Xinghe in this pursuit battle is estimated to be at least 350,000 Federation Coins, which is the cost of a regular-level Imperial Mecha, and the noble Mecha is even more expensive.

After the comprehensive upgrade, the total cost of Xingyue exceeded 120 million.

A total of 191 aircraft, not considering the cost of the noble mecha will be higher, according to the cost of the regular-level imperial mecha, it has also exceeded 6.6 billion.

6.6 billion has already been defeated, and at least four billion worth of mecha corps will be destroyed, so what's the problem with adding another billion investments?

"If these missiles fall on the heads of our ground forces......"

There are many people who feel fortunate that the money of the empire is not endless, and that more is spent here, and less is definitely spent elsewhere.

When the scientific and technological level of the two sides is similar, the war is not actually fought by troops, but by money, and strictly speaking, resources.

Whoever has more resources will have more ferocious firepower.

In the face of an innumerable number of missiles, no amount of ground troops will be given in vain.

"Will we be able to intercept it?"

"We can't intercept it, and we need to apply for higher permission support."

In the battle center of the Xinyue Fox space battleship, the relevant personnel have contacted the general command center of the Nantianmen space station.

"There are three options."

Although there are still more than 30 minutes left, it is already very urgent, and the Nantianmen Command Center came up with three sets of plans at the first time.

"First, immediately attack the Imperial Mecha Corps that is pursuing Major Ji Xinghe, they must have the ability to accurately guide these missiles, as long as they are defeated, with the highest speed of Major Ji Xinghe's mecha, they can completely avoid all the missiles."

"Tell me about the problem."

"For the time being, we can't be sure what kind of technical means the Imperial Mecha Corps uses to carry out precision guidance, if it is that Marquis-level Imperial Mecha, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be destroyed by our aerial firepower."

"Let's talk about the second option."

"The second option is to launch a full-scale interception program, where we can deploy three space warships to provide support, and activate four hidden missile launch bases that can carry out interceptions, and the interception rate is only 92 percent after calculation."

"Tell me about the problem."

"Our missile launch sites will be exposed, and we are not sure what kind of warheads these hundred Imperial missiles are carrying. If it is a high-explosive warhead that appeared before, that is, it is equipped with 200 small-caliber high-explosive bombs, combined with its own guidance system, it can carry out two precision strikes within a radius of one kilometer of the precision strike target, and the hit rate is extremely high. If the interception is not successful, Major Ji Xinghe's sacrifice rate is very high. ”

"What about these two programs at the same time?"

"It can be done at the same time, but we can't solve the root of the problem, that is, we can't guarantee the complete destruction of the precision guidance capability of the Imperial Mecha Corps, and we can't guarantee the interception of all missiles."

"The third option."

"Let the Xinyue Fox force down and leave with Major Ji Xinghe."

"Question."

"The problem is that the distance between the Imperial Mecha Corps and Major Ji Xinghe is very close, they have missile launchers, Marquis-level mechas, and Earl-level mechas, and if the Xinyue Fox forcibly lands, it is very likely that it will suffer a fatal blow."

The heart moon fox space battleship was a mecha warrior, but when the dust storm dissipated and they came to support, they did not land and sent mecha warriors to help Ji Xinghe fight the group, and it was because of this.

If you can solve the problem with firepower, why let the mecha warriors fight hard?

Whether it is the cost of the mecha or the lives of the mecha soldiers, it is more valuable than the short-range and medium-range missiles used in fire attacks.

The really expensive missiles are intercontinental missiles, each of which costs more than 100 million federal dollars, has a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, and is within strike range from any position on the alien surface.

However, in such a battle, the use of ICBMs is not possible and necessary.

The staff officers discussed nervously.

The technician reminded: "The success rate of the full interception procedure can be maintained at 92% within five minutes, and the interception success rate will plummet after five minutes." ”

It's hard to discuss any effective results at this time, and it's about an active ace mecha warrior, if there is a miscalculation, the consequences are unbearable and unwilling for many people.

The Federation's active ace mecha warriors finally became ten, and the curse was broken, and if Ji Xinghe died, this curse would be a very serious blow to the Federation mecha warriors.

A lieutenant general, who took over the command temporarily, made a decision.

"Order the Heart Moon Fox to immediately open fire and destroy all the vehicles of the Imperial Mecha Corps pursuing Major Ji Xinghe."

A staff officer reminded: "But if the Heart Moon Fox opens fire, the role they can provide in the process of intercepting missiles in the future will be reduced." Moreover, our full-scale interception program will be affected, and the success rate will be significantly reduced. ”

"Do you have a better way?"

“……”

The lieutenant general confirmed his order: "Heart Moon Fox, open fire immediately." ”

In the fifth second after the order was given, the Xinyue Fox, which had been prepared for a long time, opened fire, and in the thirty-ninth second after the order was issued, the first round of artillery fire had already bombarded Ji Xinghe's back.

The Imperial Mecha Corps, which hastily launched anti-missile missiles, could not intercept all the artillery fire under the attack of this speed.

Thundered......

A loud bang rang out, and the earthquake trembled.

Ji Xinghe, who was running wildly all the way, saw that the mecha corps behind him had been flooded with dust, as if it was a dust storm again.

But soon, one after another Imperial mechs smashed through the flying dust and continued to chase towards the location where Ji Xinghe was.

"All enemy vehicles were destroyed, and the number of remaining mechs was ninety-eight."

"The trajectory of the 2075-B Imperial missile has again been corrected, and it can be determined that the enemy's precision guidance system is on those mechs."

"The Moon Fox still can't complete the landing, and the time for landing and take-off is enough for the Imperial mech to get close to the Moon Fox and attack."

"Apply for a second fire strike."

The second round of artillery fire quickly smashed down, but it had little effect, and the high-speed moving Imperial mechs were difficult to hit, just like the previous Imperial cannonballs could not hit Ji Xinghe.

The lieutenant general again ordered: "Immediately launch a full-scale interception." ”

"Yes."

Three space warships flew through space at a faster speed than the missiles, and then launched interceptor missiles based on the calculated trajectory of the missiles.

There are also four missile launch bases that were previously placed by the Federation along the Empire's missile trajectory and have been hidden for many years without being used, let alone discovered, and were also activated in this interception operation.

Compared to the value of Ji Xinghe, even if these four missile launch bases are discovered by the empire because of this, the Federation will also make money.

The dual anti-missile system from the sky and the ground controlled hundreds of anti-missile missiles to fly to a hundred Imperial missiles one after another.

At a distance of more than 1,300 kilometers from the Jixing River and at an altitude of 153 kilometers above the ground, six Imperial medium-range missiles were the first to be successfully intercepted. Unable to fly to the predetermined coordinates, they exploded in the alien sky, and the fragments did not cause any casualties, as the ground was empty.

"The scheduled strike time is 30 minutes, and the number of unintercepted missiles is ninety-four."

"The scheduled strike time is 29 minutes, and 90 missiles have not been intercepted."

"The scheduled strike time was 23 minutes, and sixty-five missiles were not intercepted."

“……”

"The scheduled strike time is ten minutes, and thirty missiles have not been intercepted."

The efficiency of interception is very low, but this is not because the relevant technology of the Federation is backward, but because the target of the Empire's attack this time is not the focus of the defense of the Federation's anti-missile system.

It can even be said to be a defensive blank area of the anti-missile system, if it weren't for Ji Xinghe, who has now become an ace mecha warrior, his status is no longer the same, and there will definitely not be three space warships that come over to intercept and support like ships in space.

Located on this part of the road, the missile launch base that the Federation has spent an unknown amount of resources to hide will not be activated because of this.

In the same way, if it weren't for Ji Xinghe being strong enough, the empire would not have provided medium-range missiles as fire support again if it sent a mecha corps to pursue it.

It's not just about cost, it's about efficiency.

The same amount of firepower against the Federation's ground forces can cause far more casualties.

And if these firepower are used to deal with Ji Xinghe, it is very likely that it will end up with no return.

In the past twenty minutes or so, not only have more than sixty missiles been successfully intercepted, but the Imperial Mecha Corps that pursued Ji Xinghe has also suffered heavy losses.

After destroying their missile launcher, the Heart Moon Fox had descended to a flight altitude of one thousand meters in the face of only the Imperial mechs left without long-range combat capabilities.

Their artillery strikes became more accurate, and only sixty of the remaining Imperial mechs remained.

But they are still in pursuit, and the trajectory of the Imperial missiles that are getting closer and closer is constantly correcting, suggesting that they still maintain the ability to provide precision guidance for those missiles.

The lieutenant general again ordered: "Dispatch individual starships." ”

"Yes."

Whether it is a space warship or a missile launch base, it has lost its interception capability at this time.

But the Federation also has individual starships.

A total of forty individual starships, flying out of the three space battleships, plunged headlong into the alien sky in space, chasing the Imperial missiles flying in the sky and began to intercept.

Cannons, missiles, and their own jamming bombs are their interception weapons, but missiles with speeds of more than Mach 2 are not easy to intercept.

"The scheduled strike time is five minutes, and five missiles were not intercepted."

"We ...... Can't stop it. ”

Hearing this, many people in an area of the command hall of the Nantianmen space station suddenly fell silent. In fact, the success rate is much higher than the calculated 92%, but the remaining five missiles are still fatal to Ji Xinghe.

The correspondent suddenly shouted.

"Report, the Heart Moon Fox applied for a forced landing."

"Report, there is a lone starship pilot who applied to ram the Imperial missile."

"Report, three more individual starship pilots, applying to ram the Imperial missile."

These three reports represent that some people are willing to choose to sacrifice their lives in order to rescue Ji Xinghe.

The lieutenant general once again made a decision: "Reject the landing application of the Heart Moon Fox and pass the application of four individual starship pilots." ”

"Yes."

"Wait."

Ji Xinghe, who could hear the voice of the command center based on permission, once again disobeyed in public.

"I don't want anyone to die for me, and while I know it's unlikely, at least for now, I don't think it should be," he said. ”

The lieutenant general frowned: "Major Ji Xinghe, it is necessary for me to remind you that you do not have the authority to give orders and refuse orders. ”

This may be the biggest contradiction between some of the real power figures of the Federation and Ji Xinghe before, even higher than the contradiction between war and peace talks.

"But I can turn around."

Saying that, Ji Xinghe turned around, and he rushed towards the sixty Imperial mechs that were pursuing him.

"Ji Xinghe!"

The lieutenant general roared angrily.

Ji Xinghe's voice was very calm: "Someone once said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, this sentence can be used three times in a person's life, I think, this is my first time." ”

Ji Xinghe, who turned around and charged, was not looking for death, nor did he really believe this sentence, his voice continued to sound in the battle center of the Xinyue Fox, and sounded in a certain area of the command center of the Nantianmen space station.

"Nuwa, activate the communication signal shielding."

In a transport vehicle that has activated the full stealth mode, the response sound of the intelligent system Nuwa has not been transmitted to the communication system.

It directly executed Ji Xinghe's orders.
