Lan Yu and Lynn are too familiar with this world.

They had played this space battle game countless times in a virtual warehouse. It's all too familiar.

At this moment, the spaceship has become their body, the energy vein is the blood flow, and the pulse of the nuclear reactor is the heartbeat. As long as they are in the spaceship, the two can forget about the cold city. Forget the good memories of the past, forget the injustices suffered in the city. Forget what you have been through.

Standing by!

They are familiar with the speed of operation on the panel.

One cold prompt after another sounded.

Engines primed! Checking currents!

The fusion reactors of all warships activated the magnetic restraint device, and the power belonging to the stars was pumped into the steel body of the battleship by energy veins.

Guidance systems checked! Propeller systems engaged (propulsion system activation)!

The tail plasma thrusters began to spew out orange-red plasma, propelling the massive hull to move slowly.

Plotting course! Adjusting rudder!

The gravitational wave detector detected the gravitational waves emitted by the enemy fleet as it moved, and determined the general direction of the attackers. In the next second, the attitude adjustment engines on both sides of the ship began to spew flames, pushing the hull to slowly turn in the direction of the enemy fleet's attack.

Weapon Equipment System armed! Thrusting forward!

In the hangar of the aircraft carrier, electromagnetic cannon ammunition, plasma torpedoes, metallic hydrogen charge missiles are mounted by ground service robots to Stellar Wind fighters and Meteor attack aircraft.

In the turrets of each ship, mass shells are carried onto the automatic loader...... The plasma tail flame of the battleship became more and more intense.

The fleet gradually divided into two groups, with three battleships as the core, including heavy cruisers, a small number of light cruisers and destroyers, with an artillery fleet at the forefront.

Sailing behind was a mobile fleet that included aircraft carriers, air defense cruisers, destroyers.

"I'm 100 percent sure that the other side is a military idiot, and we will win this battle." Blue Feather and Lynn quickly analyzed the situation.

"But we still need to use a little brain, if the other side has a brain, they will definitely hand over the command to the fleet's AI. So we have to induce the other side to command indiscriminately. ”

The primary target of the aircraft carrier duel is the opponent's aircraft carrier, and the principle is "the enemy discovers first, attacks the enemy first, and attacks the whole deck." ”

Each more than the enemy increases the chance of winning by 30%, and if you do it all, the battle is won.

The best-case scenario is that when your strike group starts attacking enemy aircraft carriers, the enemy is still unaware of it, and there is not a single air defense fighter over the fleet, so you can only rely on the anti-aircraft guns on the ships to resist the attack.

Better yet, the enemy "just in time" spotted your attack group and started releasing the swarm, but not completely when it was released - the deck was filled with planes full of ammunition and fuel!

This is how the mobile fleet of the Combined Fleet failed at Midway, and Soryu, Wyvern, Akagi, and Kaga all sank in this battle.

"All you have to do is take advantage of the other person's mentality. Zhao Yunfei must have regarded this as a simulated world rather than a real battlefield, so he would attack the flagship Musashi first, ignoring our aircraft carrier formation, and we would use ourselves as bait. ”

The two immediately commanded the fleet to adjust its formation, and ordered the gunner fleet to guard the Musashi in the center and set up an anti-aircraft formation.

…………

In the bright sunlight of space, the huge Saturn fleet lined up in a long column to advance to the inner solar system, and Zhao Yunfei, who served as the supreme commander of the fleet, received a report on the condition of the reconnaissance plane:

The enemy flagship, the Musashi, led two Bismarck-class battleships to form an artillery strike formation, which was at the forefront of the aircraft carrier formation. The enemy commander was located in the command tower of the Musashi.

Zhao Yunfei smiled with satisfaction: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, AI, all-round assault." Let the aircraft carriers destroy their flagships for me. ”

"Commander, the priority target of the attack should be the enemy aircraft carrier."

"Oh, then divide your forces and attack. Aren't their aircraft carriers less carrier-ready and brittle? By the way, let's leave a little fighter jet to protect us. 80 bars. ”

The AI silently deduced the battle situation, and thought that this combat plan had a certain feasibility, so it no longer prompted: "The battle order has been issued." ”

In the hangars of the four Essex-class ships, the flashing alarm bells of red lights began to flash and explode, and the ground service robots were busy preparing for the fighter jets to take off. Clone pilots in flight suits hurriedly grab their respective helmets and backpacks.

The energy output of the aircraft carrier's fusion reactor has been increased by half, and the energy is supplied to the electromagnetic acceleration position. One fighter after another ignited their engines and flew out of the hangar with the help of electromagnetic acceleration!

After leaving 80 fighters to defend the fleet, Zhao Yunfei's fleet had 160 fighters and attack planes respectively, and now the aircraft group has formed two formations, each with 80 star pirate fighters and 80 Sky Raider attack planes, each flying to the artillery bombardment fleet and the aircraft carrier fleet to attack.

Earlier, on the other side of the battlefield.

The fleet of the Inner Solar System Federation has 130 Stellar Wind fighters and 130 Meteor attack aircraft. It may seem that the number of carrier-based aircraft is less than that of the other side, but the fleet has received reinforcements from the base - a full 200 Stellar Wind fighters and 80 Meteor attack aircraft will fight in conjunction with the fleet.

Lynn gave a crazy order to the fighters on the base side - a one-way attack, no need to return!

This is because the fighters in your base are fully intelligent, and there are no human pilots.

Although the number of carrier-based aircraft on both sides is 400: 260. The actual number of available aircraft is 400:560!

Moreover, Blue Feather's fleet also has an advantage in the quality of carrier-based aircraft.

Lan Yu immediately made a fleet dispatch: "All 130 fighters belonging to this fleet will go to the artillery fleet to assist in air defense, 100 fighters on the base side will assist in the air defense of the aircraft carrier formation, and the remaining 80 fighters will cooperate with 210 attack aircraft in the enemy fleet." ”

…………

The first to be attacked was the Blue Feather Fang's Inner Solar System Federation Aircraft Carrier Fleet.

The fighters of the two sides fought, and the Stellar Wind fighters and the enemy Star Pirate fighters writhed and entangled in the air, and from time to time various debris and wreckage exploded, captured by Jupiter's gravity, and crashed into its tumbling clouds......

The enemy Star Pirate Fighter's shipboard armament is 6 12.7mm railguns and 4 20mm railgun guns of the Stellar Wind Fighter. In terms of firepower, it is clear that the latter is superior.

What really separates the two is the defense and maneuverability, the Star Pirate Fighter's defense is much stronger than that of the Star Wind Fighter, and it can even resist 12.7mm rail weapons, but the latter's weapons are 20mm railguns!

Not to mention the anti-aircraft firepower of the fleet, no matter how hard you are, you can still be as hard as close defense weapons?

In addition, the heavy defense reduced maneuverability and made it easier to be attacked, so the agile Stellarwind fighter gained a performance advantage over the Star Pirates.

Taking advantage of the gap opened by the fighters, the Sky Raider attack group immediately dispersed, braving the electromagnetic bombs rushing up below to attack.

The 127mm large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, located on the anti-aircraft cruisers on the periphery of the fleet, together with the anti-aircraft guns of other ships, desperately carried out interceptive fire and waved a huge advantage.

The artillery fire dragged the blue tail flame towards the enemy planes, and from time to time several unlucky asteroids were "accidentally injured" by the artillery fire. It was immediately shattered into countless frozen fragments.

The blazing barrage forced the enemy attack formations to disperse, which created an opportunity for the next stage of air defense of the fleet area.

The pilots of the attack aircraft, who were anxious to directly attack the aircraft carriers that were being defended by the cruisers and destroyers, were mercilessly killed by intensive anti-aircraft fire.

A total of 12 attack planes pounced on the Kaga, and the fleet AI immediately mobilized the aircraft carrier frigates' close-in defense guns to lock on to them.

Ball after ball of fire exploded in the path of the attack, and only 3 of them successfully fired metal hydrogen torpedoes on the way. The three space torpedoes ignited automatically, swooping down on the deck of the Kaga.

A torpedo passed through the cover of the outer ships and hit the port side of the Kaga impartially.

But the Kaga was born as a battleship, and its defensive capabilities were extraordinary. The torpedo only managed to penetrate her titanium armor and break an airtight door.

Damage control online! ）

The automatic damage drone rushed out and sprayed aerogel at the damaged hull. Soon the outer surface of the aerogel froze in the cold of space, blocking the hull gap.

While the Kaga was busy with the loss, another 12 Skyraider attack planes carrying space torpedoes fell from the sky, and the close defense guns were cooling down after the overload fire just now.

Twenty-four Stellar Wind fighters arrived in time - their squadron had already dealt with the opposite Star Pirate fighters, freeing up their hands to deal with the attack aircraft.

The fighters hit the attack planes, and the automatic combat AI commanded them to block the way of the Skyraider attack planes with their excellent maneuverability, and launched the interstellar missiles they carried in unison.

The Skyraider attack aircraft tried to fire jamming bombs, but they didn't want the numerical control system to be subjected to electromagnetic interference from the fleet. In the panicked shouts of the clone pilots, the 7 Skyraiders were instantly hit, exploding into a cloud of dust in space.

The Clone Squad Commander lamented, "Mission accomplished! Return! ”

Hearing the order, the small group broke away from the attack trajectory and returned in the direction where the mothership was located.

This was not the whole story of the fleet disaster, and at the same time as the Kaga was attacked, the White Dragon was also being attacked. Her fighter jet, who was in charge of protection, was entangled by the Star Pirate Fighter Plane.

A full 36 attacked her, and although 16 were taken out by the air defense cruisers in close cover, 20 managed to release torpedoes.

Attitude adjustments, engines at full power, and the ship's handful of human crews had to enter the deep-sea chamber to prevent being squashed.

Nine torpedoes headed for the starboard side of the White Dragon, and 11 torpedoes attacked the upper deck, but the White Dragon spun like a spinning top with its high maneuverability in the "Forward Four" state, and in the end only seven torpedoes managed to hit her.

Unbeknownst to the commander of the group responsible for the attack, the White Dragon was an armored aircraft carrier in heavy armor. If the average aircraft carrier is a squid, the White Dragon is a nautilus with a thick shell.

Three torpedoes managed to kill and injure the White Dragon, and one torpedo hit the compartment where the White Dragon's life support system and gravity system were located, completely destroying them. However, it doesn't matter, the human crew has already entered the deep-sea chamber!

Another torpedo hit the armor that protected the fusion reactor, evaporating half of the titanium protective layer. Another torpedo penetrated the fusion reactor through the gap.

Fortunately, the starship's AI successfully shut down the fusion reactor before the torpedo hit, so that the entire space carrier was not destroyed.

Four of the space torpedoes failed to penetrate the armor of the White Dragon, they hit the upper deck, the hangar, the bow, the fuel compartment.

The best result was nothing more than blowing up some of the modular buildings on the upper deck. The pilots who dropped the bomb had hoped that the torpedo would have penetrated the fuel compartment directly, but he did not expect that the armor here was so thick that a single torpedo could not penetrate it at all!

"Damn, what kind of aircraft carrier is this? Why is it so hard? ”

"Damn, this must be an armored aircraft carrier."

On the other side, the attempt to attack the Akagi failed, and the defenses there were too strong.

At this point, the group lost its offensive ability and had to slip away, leaving only 57 fighters to evacuate with scars, and 103 fighters to be forever accompanied by cold dust clouds.
