From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 201: Generational difference means being able to do whatever you want
Whether it is a large-scale main fleet decisive battle or a battle between several battleships.

Before actually entering the stage of pouring firepower on each other, while both sides are still searching and testing each other, it is boring and boring, but at the same time the atmosphere is extremely depressing.

Everyone will hope that their own ship can be the first to discover the other party's traces.

This will allow you to get into combat position faster and fire before the enemy.

Now that heavy particle cannons are used as the main weapons of human military warships, for ships that have not had time to open the deflection field, one shot can often determine the outcome.

But this time, the goddess of luck was still on Ares's side.

According to the conclusion drawn from the continuous tracking by the nanotube external detection unit, the Mary Bay Industrial destroyer chasing the Ares chose to pursue the target of the inflatable bait released.

A decoy with no electromagnetic signal, no infrared signature, no power and painted in space warfare is, to a certain extent, no different than a warship that enters covert action mode.

This also means that the other party has to catch up to at least 20000 kilometers away from the bait before they realize that they have mistaken the target.

At this time, the distance between them and Ares was beyond their reach in a short time.

In addition to captains of various private military companies, the users of this forum also include some retired and even active federal navy captains.

Because the baits released by these ships are usually inflatable baits for convenient storage.

The heavy particle cannon's spread shooting mode, although it is difficult to cause any damage to combat ships, can easily destroy decoy targets.

Like most private military companies in this era, the most intense battles that Yaoguang Defense's ships have participated in are attacking pirates in escorts, or assisting their employers in exchanging fires with ships of other forces or private military companies.

The heavy particle cannon prepares to launch, waits for the target's approximate location to be found, and then carries out coverage shooting in diffusion mode. "

The news he received was that a ship in covert action mode was approaching the border area. Currently, he only knew an approximate direction, and this target might also be a decoy.

This method was also revealed by a suspected captain of an active destroyer in the Federation Navy.

It's just that in the past, the targets were ordinary armed merchant ships or pirate ships, not military-grade warships with optical stealth and black body coating.

The captain complained while giving instructions:

The 'professional team' of Yaoguang Defense also helped a lot in this regard.

It is not that they have never done more professional battles such as ambushes or counter-ambushes.

So what the Ares has to do now is to find another destroyer that may be waiting on the border.

What they are more familiar with is to directly enter the shooting stage after deploying the formation.

"Turn on the long-wave radar and scan it first to see the approximate location of the target.

Facing the flow of swept heavy metal particles, there is basically no resistance.

Therefore, the destroyer is now needed to search this area. If it is confirmed to be a target, it will immediately send a signal to the Liberty Radical and launch an interception operation at the same time.

Rather than playing a game of hide and seek in the vast universe.

It can be considered a place where you can learn real things.

"I didn't say this task was so difficult before I came here. No, I have to report it and ask for more money when I get back."

So when the temporarily transferred destroyer arrived outside the border area, its captain also fell into a bit of confusion.

This set of operations was learned by the captain in an internal forum.

And if you win the jackpot, you really meet the target who is ready to escape.

Then the characteristics of the heavy particle cannon when firing can also force the opponent to activate the deflection field for defense.

Even if this is a spread shot that doesn't cause much damage.

As long as the opponent activates the deflection force field, it will immediately become the "brightest star in the night sky" after being swept by the heavy metal particle flow, allowing the opponent to obtain an accurate position for the next round of attacks.

At that time, as long as we can delay the arrival of friendly forces, it will be impossible to overturn.

This destroyer can also find opportunities to engage in gang-hopping operations and ultimately capture the target.

The entire combat process quickly went through the destroyer captain's mind.

He has even thought about the scenario where his request for more money after the war was approved and he received a large commission.

"The long-wave radar has detected a suspected target! The ship's axial heavy particle cannon is being adjusted to prepare for spread shooting! 321 fires!"

The voice of the tactical information coordinator brought the captain back from his beautiful fantasy.

As the entire ship shook slightly, a white light flashed at the bow of the ship for a moment.

A 'tide' formed by countless heavy metal particles swooped towards the target area.

"How effective is the attack?"

"Captain, no deflection field response has been detected, but the target is still there! The rough position calculation is completed, and the target has left the boundary area!"

"What?!" The captain of the destroyer suddenly sat upright.

His first reaction was that his gunner had missed the target, but this idea was quickly dismissed by him.

After all, this is a spread shot, and the opponent's general area has been acquired.

If AOE can miss, this gunner's technical problem will not be as simple as that.
Just as the captain was thinking about what was going on, the tactical information coordination officer's somewhat horrified voice sounded:
"There is a high magnetic field reaction in the target area, which is determined to be an electromagnetic reconnection cannon shot! Ultra-high-speed heat source detected, number 8! Contact is expected in 11 seconds!"

"Fuck! This is a real target! Hurry! Activate the deflection field, and the communicator will notify friendly forces immediately!"

The captain of the destroyer began to panic, because he found that the captain of the other party was a real ruthless person, or an experienced guy.

Normal captains, after detecting signs of a heavy particle cannon being fired, would eagerly activate the deflection field to prevent themselves from being engulfed by one.

But this one is obviously different.

They probably guessed that they were launching a round of "throwing stones to ask for direction" style spread fire, so they chose to resist with armor.

This also allows the opponent to allocate sufficient energy to the weapon unit to fire back at a faster rate.

"Captain, communication is blocked and the other party has activated electronic jamming!"

"Flag flare! Fire the flare!"

"The launch request was rejected! The enemy's electronic warfare virus was released through the public frequency band, and the shipboard control personality is undergoing system-wide anti-virus!"

While the captain covered his spacesuit mask in pain, the destroyer's bow deflection field generator was also activated, and an invisible force field began to slowly rotate clockwise.

This is the state of the deflection field when not under attack.

Only when it comes into contact with something will the spectacular sight of 'electric snakes dancing wildly' appear.

The 11 seconds passed quickly in the nervous mood of everyone on the bridge.

But everyone imagined that the high-speed penetrating rod of the electromagnetic reconnection gun was intercepted by the deflection force field, and the spectacular scene of white light erupting at the bow of the ship did not appear.

Instead, the entire destroyer shook violently several times, followed by several explosions, which spread all the way along the hull to the ears of the bridge members.

The image of the shipboard controller suddenly appeared in mid-air, and then a three-dimensional model of the destroyer appeared on the holographic projection platform.

Several areas on both sides of the ship were marked in red, symbolizing 'damage'.

"Warning, the port side charged particle cannon is damaged!
Warning, the port side electromagnetic ejection track is damaged!
Warning, the right side of the main propulsion array is damaged, and the number of dead pixels is 8%!

"

The sweet voice of the shipboard controller sounded, but the content of the report made the captain of the destroyer break out in a cold sweat.

The opponent's burst of electromagnetic reconnection cannon was not directed towards the bow of the ship at all, but was aimed directly at the side and fired programmed warheads.

The self-forged warhead produced a side explosion the moment it passed the hull. Although the power of a destroyer-level high-charge warhead can be blocked by the side armor of a warship of the same level, the fragments arranged on the hull can be Suffered.

"Captain, a high-speed object has been detected and separated from the enemy ship. It is determined to be an enemy HCP. The number is 2, which is incorrect, 3!"

"A strong electric field reaction occurred in the target area, and their heavy particle cannon opened fire!"

"Emergency evasion! The HCP squadron will attack immediately after the evasion is completed to intercept the opponent!"

As soon as the destroyer captain finished speaking, two white and blue 'beams' spanned a distance of 8000 kilometers and accurately hit the bow of the destroyer.

The frantic electric snake instantly covered the entire bow of the ship. Although the shipboard controller immediately lowered the light input of the external monitor, everyone on the bridge was still flashed by the sudden burst of white light.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the shipboard controller sounded again.

"Warning, the deflection field generator is overloaded and temporarily offline!"

The destroyer of Yaoguang Defense is similar to Mary Bay Industrial. They are both the previous generation Peregrine-class destroyers of the Federation Navy.

In terms of performance, there is still a big gap with Amber's recently retired Haiyan class.

Under the double salvo of the main gun, the destroyer's old model deflection field generator could no longer withstand it.

Although the main gun of the Haiyan class also needs to be forced to dissipate heat at this moment, and the superconducting battery stack must be recharged before it can fire again.

But the opponent had other weapons that they could use, and they also ejected the HCP to outflank them.

"His grandma didn't mention the generation difference between the other's warships and ours when he was mobilized. Now we can only hope that the friendly forces of Mary Bay Industry can detect the movement here in time."

The destroyer captain prayed silently in his heart, then waved his hand and issued the latest order:

"The HCP squadron immediately dispatched to cover the ship. If the electromagnetic ejection track on the left side cannot be used, just escape from the side hatch!

Helmsman, control the ship to approach the border area. If the situation is urgent, just hide in! "
