Chapter 3 The Powerful Railgun

Wei Yue's two interstellar frigates had naturally discovered the Potbelly King, but they never dreamed that this HY-23-shaped ship would be equipped with an additional powerful weapon system.

Isn't it a hooligan to install a railgun on an interstellar cargo ship that is more powerful than the firepower of a regular warship?

Before the commander of the starship could react, the two ships were hit by a series of cannons, and each of them was not badly damaged.

The reason why Naoki, who acted cautiously, was in a hurry to open fire was to seize the fleeting opportunity and use one shot to obtain the maximum result.

Unfortunately, the result was not ideal, not exactly as Naoki expected, so that both interstellar frigates were incapacitated at the same time.

Wei Yue's interstellar frigate, the armored defense is really amazing!

"Damn, I underestimated them." Naoki scolded secretly.

Lechuan said: "Good job, I dare to conclude that they have been shocked at this moment." ”

"I used most of my energy, and I should have been able to achieve more lethal results."

"With a small half of energy left, you still have a chance."

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance......

Xun He reminded loudly: "The enemy warships have begun to counterattack!" ”

Naoki immediately replied: "The energy shield is opening!" ”

Obviously, the Potbelly King really has no chance, and the remaining energy is enough to activate the energy shield.

The enemy's artillery fire bombarded the Potbelly King one after another, and although Mu Bai tried his best to control the ship to dodge, it was still hit by a lot of firepower.

The energy shield is decaying layer by layer, the inside of the ship is shaking violently, and the sirens are sounding one after another.

Lethe Chuan calmly faced and ordered: "Fight back!" Give them some color! ”

Naoki was surprised: "What do you use to fight back?" ”

"What's the use."

"Without energy, you can't use any weapons."

Lechuan said without hesitation: "Use the energy for returning to the sea first!" ”

"Brother Chuan, are you sure?"

"If the ship can't be saved, will you keep the energy for the return voyage as a family heirloom?"

Naoki smiled bitterly: "Even if you use the energy for the return flight, you may not be able to repel the other party." ”

Standing in the shaky command room, Lechuan's heart was very steady, and he slowly spoke: "The other party doesn't know our situation, so in terms of momentum, we must not lose." ”

The enemy's target is the Circular Flying Machine, and as long as the Potbelly King can keep the Circular Flying Machine, this battle will be considered a victory.

As for the rest, even if the Potbelly King is crushed, it is not unacceptable.

Fear of death is not the style of the Divine Hand Group, and there is no way back now.

"If we can intercept the enemy for one more second, the people on the aircraft will have a better chance of escaping." Lethe explained.

"The energy shield is running out and the return-to-home energy is being activated." Naoki reported as he made a quick move, "I'm about to fire again, this is the last shot." ”

The final shot, once again in a series of two interstellar frigates of the enemy, it turns out that miracles do not happen easily.

Although this cannon caused great damage to the two starships, it still did not destroy them together.

The enemy's counterattacks followed, and the Potbelly King could only resist with its hull, and it suddenly fell into a desperate situation.

What's even more desperate is the news from Xunhe.

"The aircraft has been destroyed!"

Lethe suddenly raised his head, and on the big screen, the circular flying machine had exploded, scattering into countless fragments and flying in space.

In this case, it is impossible for the people in the aircraft to survive.

The operation failed, and Lethe slammed his fist on the command platform.

"The enemy is turning ships and fleeing." Xunhe added.

Hearing this good news, Lethe couldn't be happy at all.

The other side has already achieved its goal, perhaps because the ship is seriously damaged and feels invincible to the Potbelly King, or maybe there are other warships in the rear to take over the battle, and they need to retreat.

It is also possible that on Wei Yue, something very important is happening at this moment, and they have to return to help.

In any case, it is obviously wise to give up entanglement with the Potbelly King at this moment.

Of course, these decisions were based on the premise that they didn't know anything about the Potbelly King.

There was silence in the command room of the Potbelly King.

After a while, Mu Bai turned his head and looked at Lechuan: "Brother Chuan, what should I do now?" ”

Lethe took a deep breath.

Now that the potbelly king's energy has been exhausted, the only remaining backup energy is only enough to support the most basic equipment of the ship's hull, and even navigation is a problem, and it is simply impossible to pursue the enemy in vain.

Moreover, the hull is badly damaged, which can cause collateral disasters at any time.

What to do...... Lethe stared at the big screen in front of him, silent.

Suddenly, his pupils dilated slightly.

"Ah He, zoom in!"

Xun He didn't know why: "Where do you want to look?" ”

"Focus on the bottom left."

"Is it here?"

"yes, do you see?"

"Huh? It seems like there is an escape pod. ”

In the footage, a capsule-shaped escape pod can be faintly seen, drifting aimlessly. There was a person lying inside, and even if he couldn't see his face clearly, he could guess his identity.

Lechuan was in a good mood, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Misfortune and fortune are relied on, blessing and misfortune are lurking, there are always things we don't expect." ”

Naoki on the side spoke: "The Potbelly King can't sail anymore, how do you get that escape pod back?" ”

"It's a simple question."

"You're going out?"

"Or else?"

"This is very dangerous, especially when the Potbelly King is in this state, if there is a slight mistake, it will be difficult for us to rescue, and you may not be able to come back."

Mu Bai stood up and took the initiative to propose: "Brother Chuan, let me go." ”

Lethe Chuan snorted and said, "What, do you want to be a hero to save the beauty?" ”

Mu Bai was suddenly speechless.

Naoki said: "Brother Chuan, there is a certain distance from the target location, we only have one usable plane, you have to be more careful." ”

Lethe waved his hand and turned to leave.

Naoki turned to Mu Bai: "Brother Chuan has always been arbitrary, even if it is a meeting, as long as he decides something, no one can change it, and the more dangerous it is, the more so." ”

Mu Bai nodded subconsciously: "I know, but this is not good." ”

Naoki said: "You cooperate with Brother Chuan here to rescue, I'll go see if there is any way to save the Potbelly King." ”

The Potbelly King opened the emergency hatch, and Lethe piloted the only space plane, leaving the ship and flying to the location of the escape pod.

The vast starry sky, hugging left and right.

The aerospace plane rushed to the side of the escape pod, and through the transparent protective cover, Lechuan saw Rin Qiu lying in the escape pod, and his deep and unfathomable eyes were also staring at him at the moment.

There was no need for any communication, she knew what he was here for, and he knew that she understood what he was trying to do.

Both sides are smart people.

Lethe stopped the plane, found a good angle, and tried to throw the hook, hooking the escape pod to pull back the Potbelly King.

Not only is the escape pod shaped like a capsule, but the surface is as smooth as a capsule, and nowhere can the hook be hooked.

Lethe felt that things were more tricky than he imagined, and in this space, a small thing required a lot of energy to complete.

After some trying, I really couldn't see any signs of success, so I had to think of another way.

Lethe looked at the woman in the escape pod again, and Rin Qiu was still staring at him, she was unhurried, as if she was an outsider watching a play.

"Look at this guy, it seems that I think it is my duty and responsibility to save her......" Lechuan muttered, "The pampered eldest lady is really an alternative ......"

For the sake of now, we can only take a risk.

After checking the spacesuit and confirming that there was no problem, Lethe left the plane and swam towards the escape capsule along the tow line of the hook.

The hook of the space plane was suspended on the edge of the escape pod, and Lethe came close and tied the hook to the escape pod with his own hands.

Rin Qiu silently watched Lechuan's every move, and the two couldn't talk, everything was tacit.

After working for a while, the escape pod had been circled horizontally and vertically by the towing rope of the hook, and Lethe was just about to fix the hook when a light suddenly flashed above.

When I looked up, I saw that the plane had exploded, and the debris was scattered, and some of it was flying in this direction.

Lethe Chuan was shocked, and hurriedly touched the bulkhead of the escape pod, and went around to the bottom to dodge.

What's going on?

Panicking, Lethe's mind raced as he noticed that the hitch's tow line was beginning to fall off.

The aerospace plane was destroyed, the hook lost its support and was already useless.

When the wreckage of the space plane floated away, Lethe turned back to the top of the escape pod, and when he looked up, he could see a battleship in the distance, slowly approaching.

Wei Yue really has a backhand, this battleship is clearly coming for the Potbelly King!

The Potbelly King has no power to fight back, and now it can be described as a lamb to the slaughter.

Suddenly, Lethe's heart was like ashes.

"Drawing a tiger is not an anti-dog, it's us."

Lechuan smiled bitterly in his heart, now he couldn't do anything but wait for death to come.

Retracted his gaze, and through the transparent protective shell of the escape pod, he saw that the autumn inside was still calm and unfazed.

There was neither panic nor fear, nor the slightest feeling of gratitude or guilt.

makes people feel that things have come to this point, and Lethe and the Potbelly King have ended up like this, which is a matter of course in her eyes.

Those beautiful eyes are like bottomless ancient wells, hidden hidden mysteries that are difficult to explore.

Lechuan was a little angry and a little helpless. At this point, any emotions are vain, and soon everything will disappear.

In a trance, the light flashed continuously!

Lethe Chuan looked up in amazement, and the dense railguns swept through above, and it was actually the battleship that bombarded Wei Yue!

Looking back, I saw that the Potbelly King was rapidly approaching, and the artillery fire had not stopped.

The additional railgun, bombarding indiscriminately, was obviously a giant cannon that needed time to pour energy, but at this moment, it was as sudden as a Gatling gun.

In an instant, I don't know how many cannons were fired, and Lechuan was so shocked that his jaw was about to dislocate.

If it's not dazzling, it's dreaming. Even if the energy of the Potbelly King is fully loaded, even several times higher, it can't withstand such a toss.

Fantastic!

In the face of absolutely powerful artillery fire, no matter how strong the battleship is, it will be blown to pieces in an instant.

The enemy did not resist, and several artillery fires bombarded the energy shield of the Potbelly King, unscathed, and then it was overwhelmed by the Potbelly King's railgun.

The scene can be described as miserable.

Saved, Lechuan let out a long sigh of relief and gave a smile to Rin Qiu in the escape pod.

Rin Qiu still had a cold look, if she hadn't blinked, Lechuan would have thought that he had sacrificed his life to save a puppet.

What a quirky woman.
