Chapter 64: Flagship Air Defense Battle

Shelling of the fleet, the flagship Musashi.

The huge hemispherical transparent curtain wall is full of strange wars. Every engagement scattered in Jupiter's orbit is brought together in one place through sophisticated sensors and calculations, and transformed into a complete picture of the war that can be admired at a glance by the flesh:

The warring sides are connected to each other by flashing lines of fire. The fire of the close-in electromagnetic cannon turned into arrows made of beams, smashed into brilliant fragments on the titanium alloy armor, or exploded, engulfing the entire ship like a miniature supernova.

This is the space battle that is taking place in the aircraft carrier formation, and the two nodded with satisfaction when they saw this.

Suddenly, the AI adjutant reports an emergency.

A virtual screen popped open, which was the display screen of the gravitational wave radar, and one after another silver points of light jumped into the aperture in the screen - the arrival of the enemy attack aircraft group.

The enemy commander stared at the incomparably huge Musashi and his eyes widened in disbelief:

A huge command ship more than a kilometer long at the end filled his field of vision. At this distance, all he could see was an endless expanse of iron-black hulls, dotted with towering defensive forts that spewed devastating electromagnetic projectiles that lit up the dark space like lightning.

Even though half of the massive battleship was in the shadow of the universe, enemy pilots could still make out the dots of light on the deck.

How huge a battleship should be. Is it enough to cast such a terrifying shadow? …… Thousands of lights are scattered on the vast curved surface of the battleship, as if it were a floating city.

"Three-way bomb against the air, fire!"

The cannon entered the firing position under the drive of the powerful knob, the servo drive made a squeaky sound, and the first shot of anti-aircraft fire was the 460mm main gun.

It launched a Type 3 projectile with a number of magnetic metal hydrogen projectiles in its body. The overall length of the artillery shell is 1.6m, the weight is 2000kg, and the body contains 996~1200 submunitions, which are spread in space.

These small metallic hydrogen projectiles are highly unstable and will explode upon impact, which can be called space mines specially designed to deal with fighter aircraft.

The worst thing is that they are attracted by the heat of the fighter's engine, and hitting the fuselage of the fighter can destroy the target immediately, but will not affect the heavily armored fleet.

In the cloud of metal hydrogen projectiles, nearly ten enemy planes were destroyed in an instant. The commander of the enemy aircraft formation immediately ordered all the crews to increase their horsepower and break through to the enemy fleet.

The Stellar Wind fighters defending the artillery bombardment fleet failed to entangle all the enemy planes - Zhao Yunfei sent an elite formation to the artillery fleet where they were located.

Quite a few Star Pirate fighters broke through the interception, protecting the Skyraider attack aircraft and began to attack the battleship cluster.

Enemy fighters and attack aircraft flew over the three battleships, firing at key targets. Blitzes of energy and beams as bright as stars form a colorful labyrinth of colors in the universe above the base.

Two Star Pirate fighters focused on a group of anti-aircraft guns, destroying it, bursting into lightning-sized arcs from its wreckage.

A metallic hydrogen torpedo exploded in the soft underbelly of the upper deck defense of the Musashi.

"Shock Prepared!"

"Boom!"

The explosion spread along various pipes and cables within the base, causing a chain explosion that blew robots and equipment in all directions. At the place where the shell was blown through, the escaping air pushed the powerless robot into the bottomless universe outside with a "whoosh".

In the midst of this chaos, two black figures appeared very calm, busy patrolling around. Even the occasional shaking of the deck underfoot, the swaying of the whole ship under enemy torpedo bombardment, was nothing more than the sound of firecrackers to them.

"At least forty enemy aircraft broke through the interception of fighters," the AI reported. At the moment they are on the offensive. ”

"Order all tactical aircraft squads to take off at once!"

That's right, as a battleship, the Musashi actually carried twelve Stellar Wind fighters to resist enemy aircraft attacks, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

After giving the order, Lynn ignored it and ran straight to the hangar.

Lan Yu immediately stopped him: "This is a violation of military regulations, and the Supreme Commander must not risk going to the front line." ”

"War is an art, and art is not subject to rules."

Lan Yu said in surprise: "Then I'll go with you." ”

Lan Bing directly grabbed the corner of his clothes: "What are you doing?" ”

"Don't worry, I've played this game a thousand times when I was on Paradise Island."

Blue Feather took off the gloves made of psychic blocking alloy, took out the magnetic confinement box from the Infinity Safe, and handed the microscopic stars and black holes to Blue Ice. He took out another small box - it contained the runes of the world.

"Throw them into the reactor unit when necessary."

…………

Space was torn apart by two flashes of light, and then quickly bridged. Two Stellarwind fighters slammed into the Starpiracy swarm with their respective wingmen with ease, each barrel spewing tongues of fire.

Four starfighters, only four. Enough is enough!

Anti-aircraft artillery fire shone in all directions. Battleship debris thundered down, plasma engines roared, and even more harsh was the buzz in the cockpit.

The surrounding space was crowded with heavy warships, and the near-miss fire of the electromagnetic close-in guns made the cockpit sirens scream.

Directly ahead, a small blue and white dot of light split into four straight ion engine trails - four Star Pirate fighters spotted them.

"Don't hedge, cut in a small radius! You spin and wrestle and play our mobility. I'm going to play BZ tactics"

"Identification code 4-0-4-0-4." The group swept backwards from the side of the plane, and Lynn reported the identification code to the AI, otherwise he could be accidentally injured by anti-aircraft fire.

A Star Pirate fighter swooped in from nowhere, using a 12.7mm rail-mounted weapon to fire at Lynn.

Its wingman sneaks up from the other side. Lan Yu, who was guarding the side, sneered and fired at it repeatedly. The other party realized his mistake and hurriedly started the attitude to adjust the engine to disengage.

Just before the enemy plane was about to fly out of range, it turned into a cloud of phosphorescent ash that quickly spread.

Its long plane hurriedly twisted its fuselage and fled, but its engine was destroyed by anti-aircraft fire, and it lost power and crashed on the deck of the Musashi.

Four tail-chasing star pirate-style spirals descended and skimmed the Musashi's metal horizon. The electromagnetic projectiles fired from the wingtips fired with lethal accuracy, and the close defense batteries that tried to intercept them were blown up in an instant.

Then they pulled the plane up and flew off the surface of the Musashi. Coming straight at the two of them, the dazzling beam of energy cut through the temporary calm of the universe.

Obviously, this is a group of veterans, and the tactical level is much higher than that of the sneak attacker just now.

The two men ordered their wingmen to continue their level flight, and they climbed upwards, preparing to dive and attack at height.
