Chapter 825: The Battle of Kehanos (5)
No one knows why things have come to this point, but His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been slow to give the order to break through.
The old man, what the hell was he thinking? Concerned about the lives of his subordinates, he doesn't want to see his Skywalker Guard disappear under the tide of history, or is there something else to consider?
The "Mirror Light" has a total of two bridges, one is a conventional bridge, which is in charge of the captain and cooperates with the crew to carry out navigation, combat and other tasks, and the other bridge is a reserve bridge, which is generally vacant, only when the Skywalker Guard encounters a battle, Henrietta will arrive at the reserve bridge in order to grasp the battlefield movement in real time and make strategic decisions.
With the current scene, Henrietta certainly wouldn't have the heart to sit in the capsule and drink tea...... In fact, even if he had the mind, Gilcott would have carried him to the reserve bridge.
Compared to the conventional bridge, the space here is a little narrower, there is not much equipment, and there are not many staff, except for the display in front of the equipment pool, from the ceiling to the four walls, to the floor, as if transparent, you can see the scene outside very intuitively, roughly similar to the embedded panoramic projection of the "Seraph".
The lights in the hall were dim, except for the flickering images on the displays, casting criss-crossing light and shadow on people's faces.
Gilcott's face was very bad, as was his eldest son Oscar, and the expressions of Henrietta's other three cousins were equally worried, a little white, and there was not much blood to be seen.
The staff of the equipment pool were all juniors of the old-school forces, and they didn't dare to speak, but they frequently looked at the few people sitting around the combat command platform out of the corner of their eyes.
The news of Melol's death was like a dagger full of poison, piercing into the bodies of several princes and close juniors, slowly eroding their hearts, and there was a kind of continuous pain.
He is not a man of great ability, but he is an admirable person.
Henrietta said he was willful, but that was not a reproach. It is a kind of doting affection of an older brother for a younger brother, because Melol has always been so willful since she was a child, like a real man, daring to say no to unfair things, instead of becoming calculating. Sleek and sophisticated cunning politician.
Being smart is a gift, and being kind is a choice.
His status as a prince, and Henrietta's affection for him, allowed him to be a man without scruples.
In fact, Melol did not do this to realize Henrietta's dream of youth, and become the person they once longed for and admired.
Because the situation is forced, I can't help myself. Henrietta had to shoulder the burden of being regent and become a qualified politician, only in this way could he hold up a piece of heaven for Melore, so that he could grow to his heart's content, not being bent by those tangible or intangible things.
Gilcourt and the others were saddened by Melore's death, and he was actually more saddened, but he was used to hiding his emotions. Don't let grief be written on your face. And...... Melol continued to implement her outlook on life and values until her death, which is very admirable. If both parties switch lives. I guess I'll do the same myself......
Although he left a little suddenly, he didn't say goodbye to his children and leave some words that sounded meaningful, but he was able to complete his life journey like a real man, without too many regrets and guilt, and it was worth it.
With that in mind. Henrietta is more calm, can not be as emotional as Gilcott, Oscar and others, and more rational towards Giuliano's betrayal and Rothgar's encirclement.
Political struggle is in itself the art of betrayal and compromise. And the war is a continuation of politics, so he did not surprise that there were people in the camp of the old forces who betrayed, just as he also installed his own people in Cabreto, such as Jacob and his subordinates who were on duty at the missile base.
He was just a little surprised, the person who picked up the dagger and stabbed it into his vest was actually Giuliano, and it was a bit ironic that he was still at the special moment of Melore's death......
Elena was not here and went to the guest room to rest.
Although the girl was in danger, Melol's death put a lot of pressure on her, both physically and mentally, she was already very tired, and she couldn't help much about the war, and it was easy for Gilcott and others to touch the scene and increase their sadness, so Kelinia took her away, leaving Tang Lin and Bai Hao.
"Father, the reconnaissance ship has sent a warning that Servis's 'Blacksteel' is approaching Kudelia's 'Nightglass'."
As the eldest son of Gilcott, Oscar is also the number one powerful person in the United Kingdom of Turanx, but when he is placed here, he can only play the role of a liaison officer and report the war situation to Henrietta and others.
Gilcott lowered his head and swept the electronic sandbox, frowned and asked, "Hasn't the channel been opened yet?" ”
Oscar shook his head and said in frustration, "Not yet." ”
Because of the different specifications of the battleships and the different battlefield positioning, the distance between the "Mirrorlight" and the "Night Glass" is relatively far, compared to the "Mirrorlight" which is heavily guarded by the Skywalker Guard warships, there are more battleships of the 23rd Ranger Regiment next to the "Night Glass", and there are fewer Skywalker Guard battleships.
There are 300 warships under Giuliano's command, which is more than twice the number of non-rebel warships, although the Skywalker Guard and the non-rebel warships were attacked by surprise at the beginning, and the losses were a bit heavy, and then they still relied on the gap in the performance of the warships, and gradually turned the situation around and gained the upper hand, but under the pressure of the Children of War and the Lionheart's independent fleet, they could not defeat the rebels in one go, and now there are about 130 warships that are still capable of fighting.
The news of Melore's death was a big blow to Gilcott, Oscar and others, but it also gave them a wake-up call.
The people of Melol cannot be resurrected, and his beloved daughter is still suffering physical and mental torture on the battlefield, and the "Night Glass" is in danger of destruction.
They can't save Melor, at least they have to save Cudelia's life - that's the idea of everyone present. Gilcot then ordered a shipping lane to be opened to pick up the Nightglass into the core of the Skywalker Guard's defenses, and then transfer her to the Mirrorlight.
It turned out that this matter was not easy, even if the "Mirrorlight" was also invested in the plan as a force, it still could not quickly open up the airspace between the "Night Glass" and rescue Cudelia.
Perhaps sensing their intentions, Servis's "Black Steel" was thrown into battle at the same time. Rothgaard sent another fleet to snipe at the "Mirrorlight" and thwart the rescue plan.
"Tell Antley to activate the native reactor, refill the zeros, switch the shipboard plasma cannon to hybrid mode, and even if it is hard, it will give me a break through the enemy's defenses. Rescue Kudelia. ”
Antley is the captain of the "Mirror Light", and also a son-in-law of Henrietta, more than calm, but not enough change, if it is a balance of power, through conservative and meticulous operations to continue to accumulate advantages, and finally expand to victory, but in the face of this embarrassing scene, let him command the breakout battle may be a good choice. If you sail against the current and advance bravely, you will inevitably be hindered by character defects.
Yes, Antley lacked the courage and courage to break through.
In fact, it is not only Antley who is missing, but also Oscar.
"Father, isn't it a bit risky to start the original reactor early, once the zero element is consumed too much, it will inevitably have an adverse effect on the mirror light system."
Same as Antley. Oscar's mind is also very delicate, many times. People who have a good relationship with both of them will smile and ask if they were twin brothers in their previous lives, otherwise why their personalities are so similar.
"I'm worried...... This is a deliberate conspiracy set up by Rothga, precisely to force us to use up a lot of energy and functions in reserve energy so that we can gain the upper hand in the subsequent firefight. ”
The faces of the princes next to him changed slightly when they heard this, and they nodded slightly, agreeing with Oscar's worries.
Gilcott frowned. Look at Henrietta.
The old man didn't speak, just squinted his eyes and bowed slightly.
"Tell the order." "Melol is dead, and we can't afford to watch Koudelia go with him," Gilcott said. ”
Oscar's hand on the edge of the combat command table clenched it vigorously and nodded. Connect the first bridge and convey Gilcott's order to Antley.
It can be seen that the commissioning of the original reactor is a major project, and the resource management team, ship officers, gunners, logistics rapid response teams, and engineering teams ...... It's all busy.
Tang Lin originally focused on the surrounding environment, carefully observing the battle between the "Mirror Light" frigate and the rebel ships under the command of Giuliano, silently making comparisons, imagining how long it would take for the "Zo Angel" to take out those roadblock warships and clear a space corridor leading to the "Night Glass" if it only relied on those two medium-caliber positive electron cannons.
It wasn't until Gilcott uttered the terms "original reactor" and "mirror light system" that he was intrigued, and asked Henrietta, who was squinting at the battle, "What is a native reactor and what kind of thing is a mirror light system." ”
He originally thought that the reason why Henrietta called "Mirror Light" was because of the light curtain formed by the Starlight Shield, which looked like a bright mirror from a distance, but now it seems that there should be another statement, and the reason why Henrietta named it "Mirror Light" is because of the existence of the mirror light system.
Bai Hao was also surprised, and turned his head to look at the old man, waiting for him to explain.
"In fact, the origin of the 'Apophis' and the 'Mirrorlight' is similar, both are based on the wreckage of the Ipsi Dragon battleship, supplemented by human technology, and a kind of semi-ruin warship...... Of course, they can't be compared with the real relic warships like the 'Angel' and the 'Seraph', although most of the aerospace technology mastered by mankind is from the Ipsilons, but after all, the time to enter the cosmic civilization is still short, and the man-made system cannot be perfectly integrated with the Ipsiloon equipment. However, this kind of semi-ruin warship is still the top warship in human society. ”
Tang Lin and Bai Hao nodded in understanding.
Henrietta continued: "The Half-Ruined Battleship, as the name suggests, is partly the ruins of the Epsilon and partly a human creation. The original reactor in Gilcott's mouth, along with the Galactic Shield, is part of the Epsilon Ruins...... Let's put it this way, the Mirror Light was originally a badly damaged Ipsi Dragon battleship that could still be used with some equipment, but it was later repaired and turned into its current appearance, which can be used by humans. ”
"The so-called primary reactor is actually a functioning Ipsilon Zero Element Reactor, which far surpasses man-made equipment in terms of energy processing and conversion efficiency and output power, which can be used to overclock the engine thrust of warships, or to supply weapon systems, reduce the charging time of energy-based weapons, or strengthen the galactic shield."
"As for the mirror light system...... Maybe not long after. You can see with your own eyes its power. ”
Henrietta's tone was soothing, as if he were narrating an inconsequential matter. But Tang Lin and Bai Hao, who were the audience, were very shocked.
They are not shocked by the strength of the "Mirror Light", because whether it is the "Block Angel", "Seraph", or "Right Angel" and "Nightmare Number", they are not worse than the "Mirror Light", on the contrary, they are stronger.
It's just that they are all full-fledged Ipsi Dragon battleships. Because of the existence of Tang Fang, it can be manipulated by humans without drastic modifications.
But for relatively unspecial people like Henrietta and Zanggowell, who don't have a treasure trove like the Lost Lands, how difficult it is to get a broken ship of Epsilon, the Babylon Star System's 0 transaction volume last year is a good reference.
It is difficult to obtain the ruins of the Ipsi Dragon Battleship, and whether there is equipment in the ruins that can be used is a test of RP and face.
Under such a harsh premise, and then with the current level of human science and technology. How difficult it can be to combine man-made equipment with Ipsilon's equipment to turn a precious scrap into a space battleship that can soar through space.
Not to mention that the renovation project has a high risk, and it is likely to invest a lot of manpower, material resources and time, but the result is that the bamboo basket is empty, and instead of completing the modification, the original Ipsilon equipment may be intact because of unpredictable hardware conflicts. Damaged by man.
If it was someone armed with God who made this kind of thing, Tang Lin and Bai Hao would not be surprised at all. Because I have long seen all kinds of copycat technologies in their hands. If Zanggo Wil had come up with such a thing, such as the "Apophis", it would not have been a surprise to them, because His Majesty had the technical support provided by Mr. J.
Henrietta is different, the old-school forces are friends and enemies with the Armed Forces of God, and the other party will naturally not provide them with technical help. In such a situation. The technical team under the old man can transform a battleship like the "Mirror Light", which is really surprising and shocking.
If you think about it, Henrietta has a deep background as the head of the old-school forces.
A maglev chair that can prop up an energy shield and turn into a small shuttle; A "Mirror Light" converted from the wreck of the Ipsi Dragon battleship. I thought of the spar that I gave to Tang Fang at the beginning, and that conversation.
Tang Lin always felt that Henrietta had a secret hidden in her heart, perhaps related to the ruins of the Ipsilon...... Moreover, there are more quantum teleporters in the hands of the Olibald family, not only the new forces, but also the old ones.
Henrietta didn't know what Tang Lin was thinking, and continued: "Although the 'Apophis' and the 'Mirrorlight' are both half-ruin warships, the focus of the two sides is different...... To be precise, the foundation of the transformation is different. Unlike the Epsilon part of the Mirrorlight, which is mainly the original reactor, the Galactic Shield generator, and the Mirror Light System, the Apophis is more external...... To put it simply, if the Mirror Light is a holy shield, the Apophis is a magic sword. ”
"Holy shield and magic sword...... Tang Lin nodded thoughtfully, Henrietta introduced it in detail, in addition to the mirror light system, it perfectly answered the doubts in his heart, whether it was arranging the two of them to the spare bridge, or what he said just now, it all showed that after Melol's death, the old man had completely seen it, regarded them as his own people, and gave the era to the young people.
It's really great......
Melol's dead hero, Henrietta is also a hero, just like Tang Fang said, there are many kinds of heroes, visible, invisible, famous, nameless, broadsword, pen holder......
Bai Hao didn't think about it so much, and after listening to the Holy Shield and Demon Sword Theory, he tilted his head to the big screen.
While a few people were talking, the original reactor of the "Mirror Light" had been launched, and the shipboard plasma weapon system was like a shot of adrenaline, and its combat effectiveness had more than doubled.
In the past, it was powered by artificial reactors, and the output efficiency of high-energy plasma was low, and the interval between two attacks of naval guns was relatively long, and the power was inferior to that of large space-based plasma guns.
It's different now, the charging time is almost none, the attack speed of the plasma cannon is equivalent to the replacement speed of the heat dissipation core, and the power is even more than the medium-caliber positive electron cannon used by the "Angel Block" for self-defense, which is only weaker than the plasma cannon of the "Angel Quan".
When Henrietta told Tang Lin about the difference between the "Apophis" and the "Mirror Light", Bai Hao witnessed the heavy plasma cannon in the bow of the ship blast the belly armor of an improved Archbishop-class heavy cruiser, directly destroying the energy core and power system, and sending the rebels inside to the western sky.
The improved Archbishop-class heavy cruiser was not optimized for weapons systems, nor for power systems, but for armor and shields. In the face of energy-type weapons, the current effect of the magnetic shield is limited, but the armor of the improved archbishop-class heavy cruiser is really comparable to that of a battleship, not to mention the important part of the belly, which is generally reinforced, but at this moment, it was pierced by the plasma beam of the "Mirrorlight".
Doesn't this mean that even an improved battleship cannot withstand a blow from the main gun of the "Mirror Light"? (To be continued.) )
PS: Have you seen the old guns, Melol is. As for the prototype of Henrietta......
