0781 Battle of the Behemoths VIII

0781

Shortly after Colonel Tagate said this, a beam of light, thicker and brighter than any previous beam, plunged into the battlefield from the edge of the battlefield and struck the ring ship with precision!

When hit by the beam, the shield of the circular spaceship immediately revealed its full appearance, enveloping the entire shield, and from a distance it looked like a flat spinning top. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The place where the conspicuous shield came into contact with the beam of light continued to burst out with dazzling sparks of energy, like a small sun!

It's just that this didn't last long, but in three or four seconds, a huge explosion occurred, and a huge ball of light appeared at the point where the beam came into contact with the shield, engulfing the ring spacecraft in an instant, and then, a shock wave formed by pure energy radiated visibly to the naked eye, covering a range of nearly 100 kilometers!

But fortunately, at this time, even the "Dawn" had already left its original position, reversed its direction, and moved closer to the fleet, without any impact.

"This ......" The captain of the "Aurora" looked at everything happening in the distance in amazement, and muttered, "The system detected a large-scale nuclear fusion reaction, but it was obviously a beam attack......

"Didn't we just talk about it? Orbital ion cannon system. "Your Excellency Brigadier General is very ruthless, and directly uses the ion cannon system we have deployed in satellite orbit to bombard the Sijing Man Ring Spacecraft. In space, the power of the ion cannon is not affected by the atmosphere and can be fully exerted. Although it is only a relatively old Type 5 gun, after all, the Type 5 ion gun is also the last one that can attack the ground at full power, and the later models can only fire at space targets. ”

"Orbital ion cannons? Didn't Your Excellency the Vice Admiral dare not use it easily because of the space fleet of the Sijing people? ”

"But we have now annihilated this space fleet of the Sijing people. At least for a short time, the Sijing people will not be able to threaten our space-based weapon systems. After seeing this cannon, Colonel Tagate was also extremely relaxed, "Even if they form a space fleet and want to destroy our orbital facilities, they will have to deal with us first, just like those robots back then." ”

"Sir, the energy reaction is over!" While Colonel Targate was talking to the captain, the crew, who had been observing the results of the bombardment of the orbital ion cannon, reported loudly.

"Put the image on the home screen." The captain said casually as he straightened out his spacesuit, "At most, there are only some fragments left, right?" Maybe even the debris had evaporated away, and the ring-shaped ship looked so fragile. ”

“…… That doesn't have to be ......," Colonel Tagate said in a rather surprised tone at this point, his gaze fixed on the main screen.

Following his gaze, the captain also looked at the home screen.

On the screen, the light had dissipated, and in a metal mist formed by evaporation, the circular spaceship of the Sijing people slowly flew out of the mist, and then descended towards the earth's atmosphere.

At this time, the ring spaceship, which used to look fantastical and weird, is now gone, it originally looked like a circle and annular outer structure, full of tattered gaps, and the position where it was hit by the ion cannon before, the circle is still missing a large section, just like the circle drawn on the drawing paper has been erased off a line.

Most of the eight symmetrical sharp corners are now missing, and the damage is quite severe, making the outer ring look even bare.

As for the central structure, which resembles a human heart, it is also badly damaged at this time, and it is more like a "heart" that has been dissected for medical research. Even the colored "bands of light" between the ring and the central structure are gone, and it seems that the central structure and the outer ring are almost completely separated.

"Isn't that too sturdy?" The captain was stunned again and said, "It's the first time I've seen something that can still exist under the full power of the rail-ion gun!" ”

"This is the first time you've seen it, but you've only been cultivated in this world, not to mention that you seem to have experienced a hundred battles." Colonel Tagate kicked the captain angrily, anyway, the other party's position was at the bottom right of him, and it was very convenient to kick him, "Connect with Commodore Towin for me, I want to talk to him." ”

On another screen, the image of Commodore Towin soon appeared, and when he saw Colonel Tagate, he smiled slightly and said, "Well done, Colonel, I knew I could trust your ability to destroy a planetary assault mothership with a single ship!" You've done a great job of using your ship's performance! ”

"It's just a risky attempt, sir, for this the 'Dawn' may have injured the main structure, and it needs to be returned to the dock for careful inspection and maintenance." Colonel Tagate replied very insincerely, and then asked solemnly, "For that thing, the ion cannon didn't kill it in one shot, do you have any other plans?" ”

"Not really." Brigadier General Towin spread his hands and said, "I didn't expect the Type 5 Orbital Ion Cannon to shoot at full power, but it didn't destroy the ship with one shot. The Sijing Craft was stronger than expected. It wasn't as fragile as it seemed, it was stronger than any of the Sitter weapons Iron Eagle had destroyed before, and its shield was better than we had guessed, so the Ion Cannon could only damage it with one shot, not destroy it with a single shot. ”

"Can't you do it again?" Colonel Tagate asked, "It's already badly damaged, its shield is overloaded and gone, just give it one more ion cannon and it's going to be finished!" ”

"All we have is an orbital ion cannon like this." Brigadier General Towin said, "I remind you that the development of the orbital ion cannon system has been delayed due to the fact that resources are inclined to the construction of the space fleet, and our manufacturing capacity is not enough to carry out two such huge projects at the same time. You know that. ”

"Okay, I know." Colonel Tagate sighed, "This is my suggestion to the lieutenant general, that instead of spreading resources and causing all projects to move slowly, it is better to concentrate on one project." ”

"In addition, Iron Eagle was under a lot of pressure in the face of the space blockade of the Sijing people at that time, so the lieutenant general agreed to your suggestion." Brigadier Towin continued, "So for this reason, although our space fleet has been preliminarily completed, the second gun of the orbital ion cannon system is still under construction, and it is expected that the completion time will not be until the middle of next month, when the first trial operation can be carried out, and the recharging time of this cannon is not short, I used full power before, and it will take half an hour to recharge." ”

"By that time, the ringship had already taken refuge in the clouds." Colonel Tagate sighed again, "So what are we going to do now?" Do you just watch it fly away and do nothing? ”

"As you said, the 'Dawn', the closest to the Ring Spacecraft, has structural hidden dangers inside the hull due to the previous high-speed maneuvering operations and multiple overload maneuvers, and I can't agree with you to risk a sudden disintegration to pursue the enemy ship." Brigadier Towin said as he teleported a holographic simulation to Colonel Tagate, which simulated the flight paths and flight speeds of several Kodiak-class battlecruisers, "On my side, because the distance is too far, it will be too late for us to catch up." ”

"There's also the Vostok." Colonel Tagate glanced at a point of light on the mock-up that almost coincided with the Dawn and said, "They are far enough, and they have not undergone an overload maneuver, and they have the ability to attack the Ring Ship." You don't have to get too close, you just need to attack the ringship with a coaxial laser cannon. Now that the ship has lost its shield, Vostok still has a chance to destroy it. ”

"The 'Vostok' received the order and is accelerating into the attack position, and the coaxial pulse laser cannon is released from the insurance." As soon as Captain Targate finished saying this, a piece of information was inserted into the communication channel, which was the communication of the captain of the "Vostok" who had rushed to meet the "Dawn", because the communication between Towin and Targate at this time was an internal communication of the fleet and was not encrypted, so they heard the conversation between the two fleet commanders.

At the same time, the "Vostok", which was originally flying towards the "Dawn", began to change its orbit, changing its course to the direction of the circular spacecraft.

"......" was silent for a few seconds, and Brigadier General Towin nodded, he said, "Captain, be careful, don't get too close, we don't know if the Sijing people only have those starships that we have annihilated at the moment." So you do as the Colonel said, attack the Ring Ship with a coaxial pulse laser cannon from a safe distance. ”

"Yes, sir."

"Vostok" did not accelerate, but opened all the cover plates of the attitude adjustment engine, and flew towards the Sijingren ring spacecraft at the first cosmic speed, everyone did not see the real combat method of the ring spacecraft, so in order to prevent accidents, for example, although the ring spacecraft was heavily damaged, but did not lose too much combat effectiveness, "Vostok" made all preparations to avoid the enemy's attack at any time.

Sure enough, when the "Vostok" was about to slow down and stop to attack with a powerful coaxial laser cannon after approaching the distance of 800 kilometers of the circular spacecraft, the circular spacecraft, which looked dilapidated and could only move slowly, had an extremely strong energy reaction in the hollowed-out area of its central structure.

In an empty space between the central structure and the outer ring belt, that is, where the previous sharp corner is located, a path formed by colored light flow appears, connecting the ring belt and the central structure, forming an energy loop.

At the same time, at the top of the central structure, a bright light also began to shine, as if all the energy that appeared before had gathered there, and then, a brilliant and colorful light flow gushed out, just like the light wave that swept away nearly five hundred missiles in one shot before, that light flow rushed towards the "Vostok"!

Fortunately, the "Vostok" has been prepared for a long time, even if Commodore Towin does not remind the captain, and the captain is also a newly cultivated high-level clone, but for these biochemical clones, a lot of experience does not necessarily need to be learned on the battlefield, when they are just embryos, the knowledge and experience required have been entered into the brain that is still developing and forming, just waiting for them to learn how to use it in actual combat.

What's more, the gathering reaction before the ring spacecraft fired was too strong, and the gathering speed was relatively slow, which gave the "Vostok" more time to respond, so the colored light flow was avoided by the "Vostok".

But it wasn't easy.

Unlike the main weapon of the Planetary Assault Mothership, the Plasma Beam Weapon, you only need to avoid the direction of its bow pointing, because the firing range of the plasma beam is coaxial with the Planetary Assault Mothership, which is the same as the coaxial laser cannon of the Kodiak-class battlecruiser, which seems to shoot in a straight line with the long axis of the hull as the barrel.

But this annular spacecraft is different, the launch port that emits the color light flow is just a sharp angle shaped device, and there is no acceleration channel such as a gun barrel, the color light flow is directly ejected from the sharp corner shaped device, directly erupted, there is no so-called muzzle pointing, so there is no so-called anticipation according to the muzzle and muzzle of the enemy's weapon to avoid the attack.

The "Vostok" was able to dodge this cannon, but it was more due to the captain's improvisation, coupled with a little luck, that it was able to avoid this fatal blow. Otherwise, with the energy reaction of that colored light stream, a single shot could make the six-hundred-meter-long giant ship "Dongfang" disappear in an instant, and it will be completely evaporated!

"Adjust the angle, the coaxial laser cannon is ready to shoot!" After dodging this cannon, the "Vostok" immediately entered the firing program, and the captain's roar resounded in the communication channel, "All the extra energy is supplied to the coaxial laser cannon!" After that thing fires such a powerful shot, it will definitely take a lot of time to fire again, so let's take this opportunity to kill it first! ”

However, the truth is quite cruel!

Before the "Vostok" coaxial pulse laser cannon was charged, the crew in charge of the detection equipment shouted again, and the sound was transmitted to the public communication channel, and even the personnel on the other ships could hear it: "The target has a high-energy response!" Recharge again! The charge reaction is too fast! It will fire before we fire! ”

"'Vostok'! Immediately make an emergency evasion, don't stop! Without waiting for the captain of the Vostok to give an order, Colonel Tagate took the first step and gave him an order with a communicator, "Stop charging the coaxial laser cannon!" While evading, use the main cannon to attack the ring ship! ”

Targate's order was given quite in time, and the captain of the "Vostok" believed his words, so that less than a second after this order was given, the "Vostok" moved again, this time in a sideways way, without the slightest pause!

The colored flow of light fell short again, but this time the distance with the "Vostok" was also one step closer! (To be continued.) )
