Chapter 621: To the Distant Guest
"Commander, the target enemy ship is 1.5 million kilometers away and has been locked."
"Commander, the S-missile has been launched and is expected to hit the target in 380 seconds."
"Commander, the maneuvering behavior of the target enemy ship has been detected, and the trajectory is predicted...... The trajectory of the S-missile has been corrected. ”
"Commander, the ship has been detected, the shield has been activated, and the main gun charge has been released."
"Commander, the enemy frigate has been detected to accelerate ......"
"Commander, it has been detected that the enemy's capital ships and motherships continue to turn and maneuver, and the trajectory has been predicted......"
On the second floor of the command center, all the generals have chosen the command channel of an "Eagle" battleship to "listen" - they will not interfere with any actions of the commanders below who have completely taken over the battleship, but simply want to be there.
After all, these commanders below...... In addition to having rich experience, everyone also has superb skills and a good foundation in science and engineering.
From the very beginning, they were not so-called fighter test pilots! It's the fleet commander!
That's right, not the commander of the ship, but the future commander of the fleet - at least, the head of the "tactical squad" in charge of several warships.
Today is their first battle, and there is no reason to interfere with them halfway through, let them adjust the muzzle by five millimeters.
Ye Ming was no exception, he just connected to the channel of the Y18 battleship, and then quietly listened to the communication between Yang Wenzhi and Smir, as well as Aita's report.
Ye Ming's gaze stayed on the holographic projection on the conference table.
At this time, the holographic projection is already covered with countless points of light.
The blue dots of light that converged in the "cluster" represented the human Auriga's fleet, and it was obvious that the Y18 battleship had broken away from the formation and was heading straight for the red dot in front of it at a very fast speed.
These red dots, naturally, represent the "dangerous" executor fleet, of which the darkest and largest are the motherships, followed by the capital ships and destroyers, frigates, etc.
Around that red dot, there are many tiny little red dots, representing the space fighters released by the Executor - their target is the small green dots scattered around the Executor's fleet - human probes.
As the fleets of the two sides approached, rays of light also rose from the Auriga's fleet, and the first batch of twenty-four rice grains were released one after another like fireworks.
At the initial low velocity, the rice grains began to change their attitude under the guidance of the high-dimensional detector with the swarm radar network, and then entered the acceleration stage.
And almost at the same time, the main guns on the opposite side lit up, and almost instantly, the twenty-four warships of the Aurigaya fleet all raised their high-dimensional space membrane shields at the same time.
At this moment, everyone's eyes instantly looked at Ye Ming.
Facing everyone's eyes, Ye Ming's face was expressionless, but the hand under the desk was already quietly clenched.
3.
2.
1. Nod right away
At the end of the countdown, the light of the executor fleet came as promised, and in addition to the missing main guns, the few hit main guns were directly submerged in the shield.
A moment later, there was fierce applause in the room, and everyone let out a long breath at the same time, and a smile began to rise on their faces.
"Awesome!"
"But that's it!"
"I feel like I have a big chance of winning!"
"Mr. Ye, what does it mean that the main cannon charge has been lifted just now?"
Facing everyone's gossip, Ye Ming also exhaled slowly.
The effectiveness of the high-dimensional space membrane shield means that human beings have at least a certain degree of initiative on the battlefield.
"At present, the main gun and the shield are the same energy storage system, and after the shield is turned on, it will take a while for the main gun to fire, and there is also a vacuum period in this."
"Will the new battery be able to solve this problem when it comes out?"
"It's a huge way to alleviate the problem." Ye Ming's words were concise, and then he looked at Director Niu: "Did you find it, the other party's main gun is faster than light." ”
Director Niu nodded immediately: "The distance just now was five light seconds, and it took them less than four seconds to hit." ”
"The faster the speed, the lower the energy." Ye Ming stared intently at the battlefield projection, and after being silent for a few seconds, he said softly: "Next, it's our turn." ”
Accompanied by Ye Ming's voice, I saw twenty-three blue-purple rays of light rise instantly.
……
In the communication channel of the Y18 battleship, or the "Zhiyuan" ship, Major Smir was shouting.
"Fack! Did we get hit just now? ”
"Yes." Yang Wenzhi replied in a deep voice, intently looking at the data feedback in the battle interface.
"What kind of weapon?"
"I don't know, but according to Aita's warnings, this thing is faster than the speed of light."
"Fark!"
"But it's not powerful enough - it!" Yang Wenzhi was talking, and he also groaned.
In the holographic projection, twenty-three rays of light swept over the side of his battleship.
At this moment, his heart instantly rose to his throat.
4,3,2,1。
Four seconds later, there was a cheer in the hall, and several high-pitched voices instantly rose and rang in Yang Wenzhi's ears through the headphones.
"We've hit the mothership!"
"I hit the battleship!"
"I hit it too!"
Hearing the shouts of his comrades-in-arms, Yang Wenzhi subconsciously clenched his fists, and his mood was relieved!
Although the "Zhiyuan Plan" was carried out, their ship had to rush into the enemy warship group at high speed to fight bayonets, so it had to retain enough energy to complete the defensive approach maneuver, so it did not carry out a coordinated salvo.
However, this tactic of concentrating the main guns of several warships to carry out a saturation all-round attack on a certain battleship was proposed by him.
Since it works in real combat, it's good!
It's just that...... If you destroy the opponent's mothership like this, will it seem like your own battleship rushes over a little bit?
Therefore, while being happy for his comrades-in-arms, Yang Wenzhi even felt a little regretful.
However...... In the next second, Aita's voice rang out.
"The target is not destroyed."
The cheers in the command hall came to an abrupt end.
The regret that Yang Wenzhi had just raised disappeared in an instant, and then turned into nervousness.
"Aita, report on the enemy ship's defenses." Yang Wenzhi said in a deep voice.
"Commander, the enemy ship has been detected to have a high-energy particle resistance device, which previous attacks failed to break."
Listening to Aita's explanation, there was silence in the channel.
"It seems that you really can't underestimate the enemy." Yang Wenzhi said softly.
"Don't worry, we still have rice grains - look, rice grains are here!"
With Smir's voice, several points of light were like meteors, approaching behind him.
This is the rice grain accelerating.
The speed of the rice grains is getting faster and faster, and in just an instant, it goes hand in hand with the Zhiyuan, which has reached its maximum speed, three thousandths of the speed of light.
Then, without the slightest intention of staying, they instantly surpassed the Zhiyuan and disappeared into the vast starry sky as meteors.
"Well, let's go ahead with our mission."
During the conversation, the warships of both sides continued to approach, and at this time, the main battleships of the other side had clearly shown a diagonal turning posture.
Judging by this stance, there is no doubt that their tactics are similar to those of the Krons and Tara in their previous battles - they use a constant "circle" to approach the enemy, rely on high-speed movements to avoid attacks, and then look for opportunities to open fire.
And the "small tonnage" destroyers and frigates of the other side are heading towards the human fleet.
……
The clock ticked by.
After the first wave of large-scale firefighting, the attacks of the two sides became tentative, and from time to time a ray of light passed by the "side" that was 108,000 miles apart.
"Attack detected, shield activated."
Aita's voice rose again, which meant that the Zhiyuan had been attacked again.
Three seconds later, the shield was lifted, and Yang Wenzhi looked at the energy storage system in silence - in just ten minutes, Aita activated the shield three times to avoid damage, although the shield was only activated for a few seconds each time, but this had already consumed one-third of the energy storage.
And they are still 700,000 kilometers away from the main forces of the local fleet.
"Aita, can I manually control the dodge?"
"Yes, Commander."
"Cancel the auto-shield, and when an attack is detected, it will prompt you in full screen in red."
"Roger, Commander."
"Aita, set the threshold for the maximum G-force that the ship can withstand."
"Roger, Commander."
"Well, nice to work with."
"Happy working together, Commander."
As Aita's voice fell, Yang Wenzhi exhaled slowly.
He closed his eyes, and after a moment, opened them again, reached out his hand, wiped the sweat from his clothes, and then held the ship's controller with precision—something very similar to a gamepad, but much more high-end than a gamepad.
"Man, are you going to manually handle the boat?"
"Yes."
"Will it work?"
"I don't know." Although Yang Wenzhi was answering in his mouth, all his attention was focused on the front of him.
In an instant, a patch of red rose in front of me.
Without any hesitation, he pressed the ship's controller.
Almost a second later, an incandescent glow passed by.
This time, it's a real rub shoulder.
"Aita, do a good job."
"Commander, as a reminder, if it's a similar dodge, my reaction time will be reduced by 170 milliseconds."
"No, Aita, you don't have human intuition." Yang Wenzhi stared at the six destroyers in front of him that were almost oncoming, his whole body instantly tensed, and he subconsciously pressed the control.
The next moment, six rays of light passed by again.
"Look."
"A good start." Aita's voice was devoid of emotion.
……
On the second floor of the command hall, almost everyone's attention stopped on the battleship Y18.
The Y18 battleship, which was alone in the depths, had already come to the center of the fleets of both sides.
The other human warships began to move in a "serpentine" position to constantly avoid damage, as well as to carry out occasional attacks with their main guns - no way, the main guns of humans are all fixed and forward-facing.
Such a design, in addition to greatly simplifying the design of the ship, so that small ships can also have high-power main guns, can also fire at the enemy at the first time, grasp the opportunity.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the side firepower is insufficient, and once the opponent implements the spiral surround type melee combat plan, it will be very passive.
Time passed slowly, and light continued to rise in space, but so far, not a single battleship has fallen.
"I can understand why the Krons and Tara have been fighting for months."
General Qin exhaled slowly, and then looked at Ye Ming: "If we stay on the defensive, will we be able to drag on for a few months easily?" ”
"Theoretically, so. But in fact......" Ye Ming's eyes fell on Y18 and said softly: "Our current energy storage system is not enough to support us to carry out high-intensity circulation. ”
After a pause, Ye Ming continued: "At present, more than half of the battleships have only half of the energy storage, and if the energy storage is finished, they need to withdraw and rest and wait for the energy storage system to recharge." ”
"Hmm...... And what about the other party? ”
"The other party...... We can't say for sure at this time. Ye Ming's eyelids raised and looked at the dense small dots of light in front of him: "Let's take a look at the effect of rice grains first, the opponent's defense system is not our shield, it should be a high-density energy field or something." ”
"You mean you can't defend against rice grains?"
"Probably not."
In a simple exchange, Ye Ming saw that the six destroyers that the other party came to "intercept" the Y18 fired a salvo again.
In an instant, Aita reported the direction of the attack - if it could be described as passing by before, then this time it was a passing pass!
The nearest aggregate particle is less than 100 meters away from Y18!
After a few seconds of silence, Ye Ming looked at General Qin: "Let the fleet help cover the Y18 with firepower?" ”
"Good!"
……
Yang Wenzhi held his breath, and there was silence in the channel.
He didn't know what these enemy destroyers were here for, but from the performance...... The other party is constantly attacking himself. Well...... This feeling reminded him of those martyrs who broke in alone.
Isn't he doing the same work as the martyrs now?
"Dude!" Yang Wenzhi called Smir.
"Yes."
"Can you help me figure out what the other party's boats are for?"
“…… What do I think? Greeted by us? ”
"It's not...... it! Before Yang Wenzhi's words fell, he saw that the battleship in front of him instantly rose with ten thousand rays of light!
He leaned back meaningfully!
At this time, Smir's roar rang out: "Rice grains! They're intercepting rice grains! ”
In fact, there was no need for Smir to remind, Yang Wenzhi knew the other party's purpose.
Yes, the destroyers and frigates of the opposing side, and the capital ships of the opposing side, formed a trapezoidal defensive array.
And at this time, all the enemy warships ...... All fired at the same time.
Countless rays of light lit up the entire night sky.
At the same time, Aita's voice rang out.
"The rice grains were intercepted, and four have been lost."
"Six have been lost."
"Eight have been lost."
Yang Wenzhi bit his lip and listened to the constant report, he pressed the turn button hard, and his eyes were only left on the mothership that was hiding surrounded by layers of warships.
At this moment, twenty-three rays of light rose instantly, illuminating the night sky behind him.
In the channel, the voices of comrades-in-arms were heard.
"Yang Wenzhi, the brothers have covered for you."
