The last human in the universe

Chapter 73 Close Combat (Please subscribe for the first update!!!)
During this period of time, the large-scale deep-space detection radars and high-precision telescopes equipped in the space carrier have continued to operate, and they have begun to collect all information about deep-space civilization.Even, in order to better accomplish this task, people have launched several spy satellites in advance.

The spy satellites that had been deployed to Deep Space Star before also joined the intelligence network.

A large amount of information began to flow to the combat command room of the space carrier. Under the analysis and processing of Zhao Changxing, the war commissioner, and the combat staff, it became one after another combat information, which was passed on to the combat spaceships that were actually responsible for the attack.

The so-called strategic fulcrum responsibility of the space carrier is not for nothing.In addition to the responsibilities of materials, repairs, emergency repairs, logistics, etc., it also needs to assume the responsibility of the command center, and the responsibilities similar to the "early warning aircraft" of the earth era.

With the intelligence support of the space carrier, these 20 combat spaceships all have their own clear goals.

Cheng Kaitian's No. 7 spacecraft directly selected a core base surrounded by a large space base ruins.

Everything that is arranged at the core must be of vital importance.Once attacked by a cluster of projectiles, the wreckage of the destroyed outer bases will become their armor, which can still provide them with protection.

In the face of this kind of target, neither hydrogen bomb nuclear missile nor projectile cluster attack has any effect.

In this case, the battleship needs to be dispatched.

"At 7 o'clock, angle 35.6, Stinger rockets, attack!"

Cheng Kaitian, who served as an intelligence officer, correspondent, observer, and commander, gave an order to attack while paying close attention to whether the enemy had any intention of launching a counterattack in a zero-gravity environment.

"Yes!"

The attacker quickly adjusted the angle, pressed the launch button, and one of the 1 "stinger" rockets equipped on the belly of the Wu-100 combat spacecraft immediately flew away from the launcher.

The initial speed of the spaceship plus its own thrust has increased its speed to an extremely high level.Like a stinger, it quickly flew towards the target.

Obviously, the faster the rocket, the lower the probability of being intercepted.So the fighters must find ways to increase its speed.It is the most economical to use the initial velocity of the spacecraft to increase the speed of the rocket.

In addition, there are ways to increase the speed of the rocket, such as using the gravity of the planet and the speed of the enemy target.In a complex battlefield, every commander must learn to flexibly use environmental factors to create favorable conditions for himself.

Every commander has received rigorous training in this area.

Cheng Kaitian's grades have always been excellent, this time, he almost achieved the ultimate, making the rocket have the highest speed.

At this moment, it quickly flew towards the target base surrounded by many wreckages at an ultra-high relative speed close to 7 kilometers per second.

Each "Stinger" type rocket is loaded with 76 kilograms of high-explosives in its warhead, and is equipped with damage-destroying devices, as well as functional modules such as target locking and tracking.

In terms of specific power, no matter how fast the electromagnetic gun projectile is, no matter how high the energy it possesses, it cannot compare with high explosives.Since the cluster of electromagnetic cannon projectiles can't destroy you, then use high explosives, which can always destroy the target!
Under Cheng Kaitian's close attention, in less than a minute, the stinger rocket hit the target accurately, and then burst into a big burst of flames.After the flames, he could clearly see the wreckage flying around and a large amount of leaking gas.

Obviously, the explosion had torn apart the opponent's "armor", exposing the most vulnerable inside.

Cheng Kaitian cheered up, and immediately shouted: "Accelerate at 5 o'clock, power 20! Machine guns attack freely!"

The reason for accelerating in another direction is mainly to avoid being swept by the explosion fragments.

The Wu-1 spacecraft has a certain thickness of armor. Of course, it is impossible for this armor to protect against electromagnetic cannon projectiles. In fact, there is no armor with practical application significance, but it is still possible to protect against the impact of explosion fragments.However, since it can be avoided, there is no need to bear it.If the engine is accidentally damaged, it will be over.

At this moment, under the operation of the machine gunner, the high-firing multi-barreled machine guns also equipped on the belly of the spaceship began to roar.

Every minute, the high-speed multi-barreled machine gun can fire 1 powder-powered bullets with a mass of up to 300 grams.In a relatively static state, the velocity of the bullet is as high as 3.9 kilometers per second.From this calculation, the kinetic energy of each bullet is 1.5 kilojoules.This is of course not comparable to the electromagnetic gun projectiles, but with their specially designed structure, they also have the ability to tear thick steel plates.

In particular, combined with various environments in the battlefield, there are speed bonuses such as the gravity of the planet, its own speed, and the speed of the opponent. When it hits the target, its relative speed is as high as 4.3 kilometers per second. Calculated in this way, its kinetic energy is Up to 36 kJ, even more than some railgun projectiles!

Without the thick external "armor", its internal targets are absolutely powerless against such powerful bullets.

Under the bombardment of 300 rounds per minute, in just a few minutes, the base that was originally intact under heavy protection became a ruin.

After confirming that the target was destroyed, Cheng Kaitian quickly turned his attention to the next target.

At this time, the intelligence network suddenly fed back a message to Cheng Kaitian.

"There are rockets flying towards us!"

Before he had time to think, Cheng Kaitian immediately issued an order: "Maneuver at full speed! Dodge the attack! Machine gunner, at 6 o'clock, intercept the target!"

Combat spaceship No. 7 immediately entered a state of full acceleration.This sudden acceleration immediately pushed the fighters who were suspended above the seats and were not flying away because of the seat belts, to the seats.

The acceleration of a combat spaceship is not comparable to a bulky target like an space carrier.Their sense of pushing back is much better than that of airliners in the earth era.However, the fighters have all received rigorous training, and this level of gravity will not affect their movements.

Accompanied by a silent explosion in space, the rocket turned into a ball of flames and disappeared.At the same time, inside the spaceship, Cheng Kaitian also heard a burst of intensive crashing sounds.

Apparently, some debris hit the ship.

"There must be no electromagnetic artillery projectiles in it... Our spaceship armor can't hold it..."

Cheng Kaitian prayed silently.

In the battlefield, projectiles are running rampant, and wreckage is flying around.The radio waves criss-crossed and criss-crossed, extremely complicated.

Cheng Kaitian concentrated on finding and destroying the target, while avoiding the enemy's attack as much as possible.

The enemy obviously also has a certain system combat capability, and is also trying to launch an attack on its own side at this moment.Electromagnetic artillery projectiles, rocket launchers, laser beams, etc. are equally powerful.

But Cheng Kaitian's luck is not bad, so far, his spaceship has not suffered much damage.

but……

The arrival of a message filled him with deep pain.

"Spaceship 16 was hit and lost maneuverability."

On such a chaotic battlefield, losing mobility is basically a death sentence.

If the damage is not significant and the ship's engineer can handle it, then fine.If it can't be dealt with, then a few electromagnetic cannon projectiles, or a rocket, can reimburse the entire spacecraft.

On the battlefield, due to limitations in technology and spaceship performance, human civilization at this stage basically does not have any ability to rescue friendly troops.

People have not found any method to achieve effective rescue of friendly forces through tactical methods below the current level.After all, this is the first close-range space combat in the history of human civilization. All the theories and tactics that support people's combat come from simulation and speculation.

Every soldier knew in his heart that once he entered the battlefield, his life depended on the safety of the spaceship.As for the safety of the spaceship...to be honest, it depends on luck.

Once the spaceship is damaged, there is no way out but to wait for death.

But the soldiers still set foot on the battlefield without hesitation.

"Spaceship No. 16, battle damaged."

A rocket from a deep space civilization accurately hit the No. 16 spacecraft, which had lost the ability to escape and intercept, and directly blew it up.

For the first time since the beginning of this war, human civilization has died.

Suppressing the pain in his heart, Cheng Kaitian's expression became more serious.

"Keep attacking!"

The fierce fighting is still going on.After several hours, Cheng Kaitian observed that the fuel reserves were running low.There are only a few rockets and bullets left.

"It's time to return."

After getting permission from the headquarters, the No. 7 spacecraft restarted its engine, carefully left the battlefield, and returned to the space carrier with the last bit of fuel left.Before him, several spaceships had returned ahead of schedule.

Of course, there are also some people, some spaceships, who never come back.

Spaceship fuel is limited, how to balance acceleration and fuel consumption, and balance the contradiction between ammunition consumption and combat effect is also a big question.Obviously, Cheng Kaitian's achievements in this first practical battle are still excellent.

"Doctor! Doctor! Come and do a physical examination, and the engineer will come and inspect the spacecraft! Replenish ammunition, refuel, hurry! Standby operator is ready!"

Like the stars holding the moon, Cheng Kaitian and the three were directly dragged into the hospital.The spare fighters will take over the duties of Cheng Kaitian and the other three after the spaceship is repaired, and continue to drive the spaceship to fight.

The high-intensity and highly tense battle finally came to an end.Although there was no injury, Cheng Kaitian still felt as if he had collapsed.
