As the main weapon of the battleship, the neutral particle cannon is far more powerful than the rail gun, but it also has a drawback.

That is the issue of frequency of transmission.

Under normal circumstances, after the first launch of the neutral particle cannon, it takes a certain amount of time to recharge before the next launch. Mesti was obviously dazzled by anger, so much so that he forgot about it for a while.

But know that a tiny bit of difference is a thousand miles away.

The environment they are in right now is not safe. On the contrary, they are facing the attack of several warships. Even if the main weapon is delayed for a while, it may change the whole battle situation.

After all, judging from the extent to which the battleship defense system was activated, the enemy should not be underestimated.

If I knew it would be such an embarrassing situation, I shouldn't have used the main weapon when attacking the Shenzhou just now.

The effect can be achieved simply by relying on secondary weapons.

It's just that now that things have happened, it's useless to worry about it.

We must find a way to survive this wave of attacks as soon as possible.

For this, Mesti had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked in a cold voice: "How long is the neutral particle cannon's cooldown?"

"Report to the Bishop."

"About one minute and thirty seconds left."

The ordinary pioneer who used all four arms to operate the battleship did not dare to hesitate in the face of this question, and quickly opened his mouth to give an accurate answer.

Everyone knows that the boss is very unhappy right now.

If he hit the gun at this time, it would be impossible to return to the pioneer empire alive.

But thinking of this, he couldn't help sympathizing with Uzi.

Because judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the intelligence information given by Uzi is wrong.

And it was his mistake that caused the current predicament.

With Bishop Mesti's character, he will definitely not let this matter pass easily.

Hearing his subordinate's answer, Mesti shot out a coldness from the eyes under the huge shuttle-shaped crown, and then forcibly pressed it back, ordering with a little helplessness: "Using the secondary weapon to counterattack must completely give I destroy them and let them know who is the real master of this star system."

"It's His Excellency the Bishop."

The ordinary pioneer who was ordered to be in charge of the operation dared not hesitate, and immediately activated all the rail guns on the battleship, and launched an attack on Lei Zhan, Zhang Jingtong and them at the same time.

Battleships can be used as ace equipment in interstellar wars.

But there are also weaknesses.

That is the defense system of the battleship itself.

The battleship built by the Herald Empire is about 2000 meters long, and it still belongs to the category of medium-sized battleships.

So it doesn't have an energy shield itself.

It is embarrassing to rely on a defense system composed of close-in guns and other weapons like a small warship to deal with attacks.

of course.

This defense system should not be underestimated.

Under normal circumstances, the enemy's attack can be easily intercepted.

Unless you encounter a large battleship.

But in any case, the defense system of battleships has limits.

Sorry if this limit is exceeded.

The attack will be directly applied to the hull.

At that time, it will have to rely on the resistance of the warship's own materials, as well as the efficiency of repairing the spacecraft and personnel.

Lei Zhan, Zhang Jing and the others attacked at the same time.

In addition to the seven heavy rail guns, it also includes a large number of space torpedoes, and the attacker flying device carrying the hydrogen bomb.

When so many attacks are applied to the Herald Empire battleship from different directions, its own defense system is simply unable to intercept them all, and it is normal for fish to slip through the net.

Immediately afterwards, Mesti felt the shaking coming from inside the battleship.

Apparently it has been attacked.

Let's talk about the battleship's counterattack against heavy hammer cruisers such as the Azure Ark.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the main weapon of the battleship is the neutral particle cannon, then Lei Zhan and Zhang Jingtong will 100% follow in the footsteps of the Shenzhou.

There is no chance of escape at all.

In addition, the crews in their warships are almost fully loaded, and it is unknown how many core members of the Alliance Space Force will die.

The key point is that without the alliance fleet, human beings will no longer be able to compete with extraterrestrial civilizations.

The final result can be imagined.

But it happened that the direction of things on the Shenzhou changed.

The Shenzhou wasted the opportunity of the neutral particle cannon to attack, and successfully won the life for other warships. After all, it is not very difficult to resist the attack of the rail gun.

Besides, no one knows railguns better than they do.

At most, it will cause a little damage to the battleship, which is basically harmless.

On the contrary, Mesti has a completely different style of painting.

……

"alarm!"

"alarm!"

"The battleship is under attack!"

"The hull has been damaged, please repair it as soon as possible..."

……

"asshole!"

"It's just a low-level civilization, how dare to act recklessly!" At this moment in the core control cabin of the battleship, Mesti felt the shaking of the hull from time to time and the system broadcasting in his ears, and his anger value can be said to have reached its peak: "immediately Check the damage to the warship and send maintenance ships and frigates to support it."

"It's His Excellency the Bishop."

"The power of the -1 engine on the port side of the battleship is damaged."

"Eight anti-aircraft guns were damaged."

"Report to the bishop, the neutral particle cannon is ready, should it be launched?"

Mesti, who was immersed in the damage of the battleship, suddenly gained strength after hearing such a report, as if his mood improved a lot.

Without any hesitation in the next second, he immediately ordered: "What are you waiting for, destroy all these low-level civilized battleships for me."

"Yes."

"The target is successfully locked, and the neutral particle cannon is ready to launch..."

Ordinary pioneers in charge of weapon system operations immediately locked onto the target after receiving instructions from their superiors.

Just when he was about to press the launch button, there was another shaking inside the battleship, and at the same time, a new system announcement sounded in the core control cabin.

"The main weapon is damaged and cannot be fired!"

"The main weapon is damaged and cannot be fired!"

"The weapon is damaged, so the neutral particle cannon can't be used?" Mesti was startled when he heard this sentence, and then he reacted, and a roaring voice suddenly sounded in this space: "You guys How do you operate the battleship, it can actually damage the main weapon, so don’t rush to find a solution.”

"The maintenance ship has already headed to the damaged location." The ordinary pioneer next to the console said weakly.

But at this moment, Mesti didn't know how to describe his mood.

It can only be said to be unlucky.

It seems that since he entered this star system, he has never encountered anything satisfactory.

Obviously, the enemy battleship can be easily destroyed by using the neutral particle cannon, but the main weapon was damaged when it was about to fire, and the day lily might be cold when it is repaired.

After all, without the firepower of the main weapon, the performance of the battleship will be greatly weakened.

Now facing so many small interstellar warships, it is really unpredictable what the final result will be.

If it was said that Mesti was very confident about his galaxy invasion at the beginning, then now he began to feel worried.

If he really fell into the hands of such a low-level civilization that was unknown and even unrecorded, he, Mesti, would definitely become the biggest joke in the history of the Herald Empire.

As a member of the royal family, he must not bear this kind of shame.

But this time he only brought one battleship, and there is no way to find support right now.

I can only hope that the remaining defense system and weapon system of the battleship can last longer, and when the maintenance personnel repair the main weapon neutral particle cannon, then they may still have the possibility of a comeback.

Will key enemies give them this time?
The answer is obviously no.

But as these thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, a name appeared in Mesti's mind again.

Uzi.

Yes.

If Uzi hadn't provided wrong information, how could his pride as a pioneer empire have fallen into such a situation.

Someone has to take this responsibility.

The thought stayed here, and Mesti immediately locked his eyes on Uzi: "I almost forgot about you. Are you guilty of putting the warships and soldiers of the empire in such a dangerous situation?"

When Mesti said these words, he deliberately activated his own spiritual power.

It is the congenital suppression of ordinary pioneers with the help of the fusiform crown, which brings a certain amount of mental deterrence and torture to the opponent.

And because this kind of mental deterrence torture is extremely painful for ordinary pioneers, no one dares to resist, so that the pioneer empire has existed for countless years, and the royal family still controls the entire civilization.

Originally, Uzi was still operating something, but after feeling the mental coercion exerted on him by Mesti, he immediately let out a scream and fell to the ground struggling in pain.

Judging from the violently trembling translucent wings on the back, it shows that this feeling is really uncomfortable.

Uzi is well aware of his current situation.

With Mesti's ruthlessness and current emotions, he is likely to be tortured to death here, and the other pioneers around him will not have the slightest sympathy for him.

But since he had expected this kind of thing to happen, how could he be unprepared.

He has been operating the battleship just now, and his purpose is for the present.

So at the critical moment, he suppressed the pain in his body, and quickly replied: "My lord bishop, the information I gave is not wrong. Now there are no life forms in the living planets in this star system."

"The data detected by the battleship is the best proof."

"Right now, these are just poor creatures who survived in space by chance, and they are not a threat to us at all."

That's right.

Uzi never thought he was wrong in his judgment.

He very much believed that with the effect of the transformed asteroid, the civilization on that living planet would have no way to resist it.

So just now he used the function of the battleship to try to scan the blue life planet in this star system, and it turned out that his judgment was correct.

By scanning.

Not only did he discover that the elemental substances exclusive to the Herald Empire had covered the whole world.

And no carbon-based life forms have been detected.

What does this mean?
Obviously the civilization on the planet has long been extinct.

At present, only a very few people survived by avoiding in space when the catastrophe happened.

Not at all to worry about.

After all, without the support of civilization, relying on a small amount of personal strength, the resources will soon be exhausted and the combat capabilities will be lost.

Unfortunately he made a mistake.

That is, Mars and the Moon were not scanned.

Mainly based on some of the information he stole from Earth and Stars, human beings simply don't have the ability to migrate between stars, so naturally they didn't think about it.

In fact, his judgment was not wrong.

Because if human beings did not have Xu Lei and future technology, the entire civilization would have ceased to exist.

How can there be today's events.

However, no matter the Taiyin City on the moon or the Martian City on Mars, they are all in a completely independent space, and there are eggshell defense devices made of special materials outside the city.

It's really unlikely that the scan of the battleship will have any results.

In his great anger, Mesti had already wanted to kill Uzi.

Want to get rid of each other directly.

Anyway, for members of the royal family, this is basically a matter of thought, not to mention that this Uzi has committed public outrage.

But after listening to what Uzi said, he couldn't help hesitating.

It always feels like things are not that simple.

After a little hesitation, he finally temporarily stopped mentally oppressing Uzi: "I hope you'd better not be lying to me." After saying such a cruel word, he immediately walked towards the location where Uzi was just now.

soon.

As Mesti moved his gaze to the screen in front of him, he was immediately attracted by the data on it.

Ordinary pioneers may tell lies.

But the data is real.

Judging from the data obtained on the screen in front of them, the only living planet in the star system where they are located is already filled with elemental substances synthesized by the pioneer empire.

And this special substance is extremely deadly to other carbon-based life forms except their pioneers.

A civilization can easily be wiped out with only a small amount.

The engineers in the Herald Empire originally developed this special element substance for the purpose of invading other galaxies and plundering resources faster.

It can be said that it has made great contributions to the pioneer empire.

Right now, this substance is filling the entire planet, which proves that there is no civilization on it.

So what is currently attacking them can only be the little fire left by the civilization in this galaxy.

Figured this out.

Metis' mood immediately improved a lot.

But having said that, there is still one troublesome thing right now.

The enemy's attack is still going on, and it is very likely that the battleship will suffer more damage if the main weapon is damaged.

It will be very difficult to repair at that time.

The key is to waste time.

Just when Mesti temporarily let go of his murderous intent on Uzi and was a little worried about the situation, he saw that Uzi had stood up from the ground at some point, and deliberately walked over and said softly: "Master Bishop, our battleship is now Although it has lost the most powerful main weapon, the neutral particle cannon, it still has an absolute advantage in speed."

Perhaps because of being aroused by Uzi's words, Mesti subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. As long as we speed up to the planet of life, the enemy's warships will not be able to catch up, and it is also a taboo place for them."

"At that time, we will have enough time to repair the battleship."

"Victory will still be ours."

After Uzi finished speaking, Mesti's eyes became brighter and brighter.

I have to say that this is indeed a good method.

For the planet filled with the elements of the pioneer empire, these civilization fires that survived by chance dare not set foot at all, as long as they can be given enough recovery time.

Packing a few small battleships can only be so easy.

After thinking about it for a while, Mestidang decided to make a decision, and immediately ordered: "The battleship speeds up and sails to that blue planet for me."

"It's His Excellency the Bishop."

At first, everyone was worried about the situation they were facing, but now that they finally had a solution, why would they hesitate? Even if they followed the instructions and increased the power of the engines on both sides of the battleship, the speed of the battleship suddenly increased a lot.

As for Uzi, he was slightly relieved seeing this.

He put forward this suggestion to resolve the crisis situation, although not to mention earning some credit for himself, at least his old life was saved.

Previously, Mesti planned to destroy these small warships first.

After all, he also has this strength.

Therefore, the battleship is basically in a state of mooring, and does not fly and move much.

Therefore, Lei Zhan Zhang Jing and the heavy railgun, the main weapon of the heavy hammer cruiser, can attack the battleship, otherwise, I am afraid that they will not even be able to see the tail lights of other battleships.

But when the battleships of the Herald Empire accelerated, they quickly left the attack range.

According to this flying speed, it won't be long before entering the Earth's atmosphere, where it will have a head-on conflict with the almost one billion mechanical life forms living there.

However, this operation did catch Lei Zhan and the others by surprise.

According to the battle plan drawn up by Xu Lei, after the Shenzhou was attacked, they had to do their best to destroy the warships of the extraterrestrial civilization. Seeing that they had gained the upper hand and caused damage to the warships of the extraterrestrial civilization, they suddenly found that the enemy had disappeared.

What's the matter?
……

……

"Captain, what should we do now?"

Azure.

In the core control cabin, as the captain, Lei Zhan listened to his subordinates' questions, but he was also speechless.

The launch speed of the tungsten alloy shells of the key heavy-duty railguns is limited. Taking the current situation as an example, they cannot catch up with the medium-sized warships of extraterrestrial civilizations.

After all, they are equipped with anti-matter engines.

It can be seen that the opponent's flight route is obviously aimed at the earth and stars. In case of various strikes on the earth and stars at that time, it will cause a lot of damage to human civilization.

The key will also pass Mars and the moon along the way.

If the enemy discovers the human civilization that exists on these two planets, it will be a huge disaster.

Even launching an orbital gun is unbearable for a planetary city.

Because the people living there are ordinary human beings, as carbon-based lifeforms, they are very fragile. Even if they are injected with gene optimization fluid, they still cannot become powerful existences like mechanical lifeforms.

Lei Zhan thought that he was not very good at commanding operations.

Since Xu Lei is not online right now, he can only ask the opinions of other warship captains.

And the first person he connected to was Zhang Jingtong.

"Uncle Zhang, do you have any good suggestions in this situation?" When Zhang Jingtong's figure appeared on the screen, Lei Zhan went straight to the point and asked the core of the problem.

Since Zhang Jingtong's actual age is much older than Lei Zhan, Lei Zhan always calls him Uncle Zhang.

Invisibly, the relationship has also been shortened a lot.

Zhang Jingtong put forward very good suggestions in the battleship arrangement before, which shows that he still has great talent in this area, so Lei Zhan wanted to get some ideas from him.

And just as the connection between the two of them started, the captains of other warships joined in one after another.

It's a pity that Zhang Jingtong shook his head when he waited for this.

"no way."

"We can't catch up with each other at all, so we can't stop and intercept."

Although Zhang Jingtong is unwilling to tell everyone this cruel fact, it will hurt everyone's self-confidence, but the reality is like this.

The performance advantage on the battleship cannot be compensated by any strategy.

In any case, the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations have already rushed out of their encirclement, so no matter whether the opponent is going to attack the moon or Mars, they can only watch.

To use one word to describe it, it is unmatched.

With the planetary defense systems in the orbits of Mars and the moon alone, there is no way to stop it.

no doubt.

After Zhang Jingtong finished speaking, everyone became silent.

But just as hope was about to be shattered, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the screen.

"You all performed well, don't worry, the victory will still belong to us humans." Xu Lei in the core control room praised the battle just now on the Tiankun, which was some distance away from Lei Zhan and the others.

After he, Xingtong and other crew members on the Shenzhou arrived at the Tiankun safely, they immediately checked the battle after the destruction of the Shenzhou, and saw that Lei Zhan Zhang Jing and the others were doing damage to the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations while ensuring their own safety. , and force the opponent to accelerate out of the attack range, which can be said to be quite unexpected.

It simply exceeded his expectations.

So this praise is necessary.

It’s just that everyone is worried about the safety of the planetary city right now, and they are really not in the mood to accept this honor, so they can only ask: “Mr Xu, the warships of extraterrestrial civilizations have already gone to the planet, and everyone’s situation is very pessimistic now. "

Of course Xu Lei knew about this.

But he didn't act too nervous.

Because according to his analysis, the extraterrestrial civilization has used Pluto to transform the environment of the planet Earth, and now they are so anxious that they can only go to the planet Earth.

As long as the moon and Mars remain silent, they will not be discovered.

And when the extraterrestrial civilizations really reach the planet, then it will be their dead end. You must know that the mechanical life forms living on the planet cannot find a chance to participate in the war.

This wave of extraterrestrial civilization is simply a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

In order to reassure everyone, Xu Lei no longer kept his secrets, and immediately said: "I have notified the moon and Mars to temporarily shut down the planetary defense system, and all planetary cities remain silent."

"As for our next task, that is to give the extraterrestrial civilization a catch."

After hearing Xu Lei's arrangement, everyone's emotions were mobilized again in an instant. Thinking of what will happen at that time, they immediately felt a sense of impatience.

For the next time, I don't care about the damage left by the battleship when it responded to the attack of the extraterrestrial civilization, and returned to the planet as quickly as possible, preparing to trap the extraterrestrial civilization on the planet as Xu Lei said. .
