Him and their stars

Chapter 745 Special Space Crystal

Hearing the three-digit number, Soback's first reaction was to drag the Blizzard and flee.However, he quickly realized that in order for the Marauders to survive in the harsh environment of the Milky Way, there was no large number of assault ships and destroyers in the fleet.If a three-digit number really comes, it means that the main fleet is overwhelmingly overwhelmed.

Just to deal with these two ships?Not so!

Even so, Colonel Sobaek quickly ordered the crew to adjust the engine to the maximum power.

"Your Excellency, are you going to prepare for a tactical charge?" A young and energetic second officer said with longing, "Our glorious Imperial Navy is ready to perform its duties!"

This guy came aboard at the Gate of Glory, just graduated from the Naval Academy, and was born in a military family, full of romantic fantasies about shrouded in horse leather.

It's so convenient when escaping!Sobaek rolled his eyes in concealment, but he couldn't say the words, so he could only let the survivors' marines on the destroyer hide on the spot and set up a temporary artillery position.As for the Blizzard on its own side, it leaned towards the direction of the Scarlet Throne, but the rhythm was vaguely slow, and it always felt a little awkward.

Of course, it is difficult for a dreadnought and a cruiser to form a coordinated formation. Once they encounter an enemy, the two ships are destined to deal with the enemy alone.Yu Lian on the boat over there did not express any dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry. Didn't that guy say that the enemy will focus their fire on the biggest target. That dreadnought is our natural barrier. If nothing can be done, most of the crew will support your decision." Hong Shan said the captain.

Sobaek glanced at the other person, a little hurt.Although this guy looks like "I am your loyal old subordinate", doesn't the implication mean that he has to make his own decisions?But in this way, isn't it only me who is responsible?
Tsk, I thought that we have fought side by side so many times, at least we should have some love!

While Colonel Sobaek was mourning, he received an image signal from the Scarlet Throne.The latter is closer to the transition channel, and has thrown out several automatic detectors in advance, and now has captured the true colors of the enemies drilled from the gravity well.

"Also, it's really a stone!" Sobaek couldn't help being startled.

To be precise, it was a large group of densely packed crystal-like UFOs.They come in all sizes and shapes, and indeed look like a large shard of shattered glass floating in space.It's just that the smallest of these crystals is the size of a fighter jet, and the largest is almost comparable to a light cruiser.

When these colorful crystals leap out of the passage of the gravity well, they are like a storm gathered by fragments of gemstones, colorful and beautiful, as beautiful as a dream.

On the surface of the planet, it is difficult to see such a magnificent spectacle, and it is only possible on the universe.

If it weren't for these gorgeous crystals, which rushed towards him like locusts, Yu Lian would have stood at the porthole of the bridge, hugged Feifei, and used them as the background to take a selfie of himself.

"Hey, space crystal group? This thing appears now?" Yu Lian was a little surprised.

This is a unique creature of the New World, and it is also a kind of space Leviathan.Of course, whether it is a living thing or not, even after fifty years, the academic circle has not come to a conclusion.

After all, all their body compositions are very different from what everyone has previously known.Their body crystals really couldn't see the metabolism and digestive system that carbon-based creatures should have.However, this crystal biome seems to have the nature of living in groups to keep warm and cooperate with hunting, and it can even reproduce through division.

For these space crystals, metal substances are their food.And the refined and smelted ship shell is of course equivalent to carefully cooked delicacies.Therefore, the ships that occasionally pass by their territory are naturally the top prey that are automatically delivered to their door.

In the last world line, this thing was recognized by the public and regarded as one of the most dangerous natural disasters in the universe. It was more than thirty years ago.However, Yu Lian vaguely knew that this thing had actually appeared many times, some of which were even manipulated by humans.

Among other things, there will be a snake head in the future, and I don't know that he has made a py transaction with the cosmic crystals. He can really control a huge crystal group to fight, and he can be regarded as a one-man army.

...Of course, that buddy was killed on the spot by the great elder eggplant of the Ethereal Temple with a spirit seed storm, including people and crystal groups, that's another matter.

In other words, if that guy hadn't stood on the largest crystal to pretend to be aggressive, but was caught in a series of crystal explosions that were triggered, he might still be able to save his life.

In short, although these strange crystal flying objects look like a pile of crystals, they are easy to be confused with the unique natural phenomena in the crystal asteroid belt, but they are indeed not ordinary creatures. They have the characteristics of wild animals seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages Instinctively, if you really encounter a large warship, you will back away.

After all, attacking ships is for hunting, and hunting wild animals is for survival rather than "battle honor".No matter how fierce and crazy the wolves are, when will they attack lone tigers and bears again?
But now, they did rush towards their side.The reason is simple!These crystals are manipulative.Yu Lian quickly made such a judgment. He was even [-]% sure that these things should have been released by the Great Khan of the Predator.

...Well, anyway, the predators now even have the star map of the New World, and they have control over some space crystals, which seems very reasonable.

"I've never seen such an enemy." Feifei frowned and said in a low voice.

Yu Lian thought that it would be fine if I had seen it, but he had to be steady at this time.He looked at the people on the bridge who were already in their positions, and he recognized the tactical literacy shown by everyone, so he gave an order: "Turn off the main guns of positrons and ions. Transmit all the energy to the shield system. Thank you Doctor, can you do it?"

Dr. Xie Yiwei, who was on standby in the chief engineering command room, said: "Yes. When we were repairing and preparing in the Abyss Nebula, we carried out debugging in this area. Besides, I am also the designer of the Empire!"

One of the biggest features of imperial warships is the versatility of energy pipelines.That is to say, no matter how urgent it is, the energy of the engine, artillery, and even the living area can be completely supplied to the engine, and of course it can also be converted in the opposite direction.Because of this, the survivability of imperial warships is also the best in the entire universe.

As the former chief designer of the Hand of Glory Design Bureau, even if Dr. Xie Yiwei is not an expert in energy circuits, at least he knows how to modify it.

Yu Lian nodded, and said again: "Close the armored gun door of the turbolaser group. All members of the secondary battery group are on standby, ready to use the live ammunition Phalanx to defend against the air."

Seeing Agnes' puzzled expression, Yu Lian said, "Those things are like a pile of glass shards, and they have special defense against energy weapons!"

The logic of this remark seems to have too much to complain about, but no one raised objections.Just look at it, those densely packed crystals are still pouring out of the transition channel, the number has exceeded four digits, but the largest is the size of a destroyer.Bombing with the main gun does have the problem of hitting mosquitoes with the cannon.

"Prepare to intercept missiles." Yu Lian ordered again.

This kind of missile is a kind of sub-munition. A mother bomb will be equipped with at least a thousand steel ball bombs. It is very effective in intercepting the fighter planes and jumping gang landing craft of the enemy fleet.It should be no problem to deal with these crystals.

"Launchers No. 5 and No. 6, intercept the firing of the bullet gun!" Agnes, who had already played the guest gunnery chief, repeated Yu Lian's words, and then delegated the firing authority to the gunners of each missile launcher.

The Scarlet Throne was already slowing down at this time, and the two magazines in its abdomen suddenly opened.Thirty-six interceptor missiles, carrying hundreds of steel nail bombs, roared into the distant void.

Yu Lian continued to order loudly: "Launchers No. 1 to No. 4, fill with interceptor cluster bombs! Continue to launch!"

Originally placed on missile launchers 1 to 4 are electromagnetic radiation shells used to destroy ship shields, and nuclear fusion missiles used to break armor.Now, it still takes a little time to temporarily replace it with an interceptor missile.

Fortunately, the mercenaries on the ship and the "students" sent by the Toss merchant group performed well, at least two-thirds of the efficiency of the elite soldiers of the empire, and it only took two minutes to complete the change.

However, before everyone could throw these missiles out, Vega, who was sitting on the radar officer's seat, said loudly: "There is a high-energy reaction ahead! This..."

He was a little speechless for a while.Since it was a high-energy reaction, it was the opponent's bombardment, which can also be judged from the energy readings read by the ship's radar.However, the quality readings fed back made him unacceptable.

This is not a shell, even if it is a heavy assault landing craft with enhanced armor and ramming angle, it is at this speed.

But just like that, its forward speed is astonishingly fast, and the shells of the rail gun are nothing more than that.

More importantly, the opponent was indeed launching an attack from a super long distance, and the range could even match the main guns of the dreadnought ship.

What the hell is this?The little friends on the Throne felt their scalps go numb.

It is also very understandable that people will have such a reaction when they encounter an unknown and powerful enemy.

But at this moment, the interceptor missiles launched by the Throne collided with those intensive high-energy reactions.At this moment, the flames of the explosion soon formed a surge of blazing light, which made the friends on the bridge almost unable to open their eyes.

It took several seconds for Vega to react. While cursing himself for his gaffe, he hurriedly prepared to check the radar, and said in surprise, "Gao, the high-energy reaction has disappeared?"

Is this intercepting shells with missiles?What's the difference between that and shooting a bullet to intercept another bullet?It's so unscientific!

However, before everyone raised any doubts, Yu Lian had already given the next step: "Launchers No. 3 and No. 4 will launch all missiles in the direction of eight o'clock, and the delayed explosion will be set at 4 minutes. The ship will sink for 12 minutes." In a standard position, take the initiative to meet up with the Blizzard."

He paused, and then ordered: "Tell Colonel Sobaek on the Blizzard that UFOs will launch active collision attacks outside the range of their main guns. Please be prepared to intercept and prevent impact."

It was only then that Vega suddenly discovered that after the explosion just now, the number of densely packed enemies fed back from the radar was much less, and they were clearly intercepted by intercepting missiles.

Only then did everyone realize that it wasn't the crystals that launched the shelling, but that they allowed themselves to hit themselves at the high speed of the shells.
