Spore Story

Chapter 921 Intercepting the Swarm

==========
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the altitude of the double moon star low orbit: 577 kilometers.

The battle between the two warring parties has entered a fierce stage. Even if they try their best to avoid it, under the trend of war, the friends have also begun to suffer heavy casualties:
Due to the lack of dodge, a Freedom-class defense ship was hit by more than 60 plasma balls, corrosion balls and other weapons. When the ship suffered extensive damage and had to plan to withdraw from the battlefield, a group of small Zerg broke into the ship , causing the hull to collapse.

In less than 2 minutes, the hull of the battleship was torn apart, and then fell to the ground under the action of gravity, and only a few of the few rescue capsules ejected by the crew members were recovered, and most of them died in the densely covered Under the stray bullets of space.

At the same time, the drone swarm has also continuously compressed the range of the Zerg, until the area with a radius of about five kilometers is crowded with Zerg.

However, with the increase in the density of the swarms, although the effectiveness of the bombardment of the friends is also increasing, it is more of an increase in the attack of the swarms per unit area.The number of Zerg is more than that of the friend fleet, so after the Zerg formation is dense, it will be more beneficial to the attack of the Zerg.

However, that is only on the premise that there are no accidents.

The Zerg formation is getting denser and denser, and if the mass-energy weapon hits, the lethality it can produce will be huge.At this time, the insect swarm was still shrinking to increase the bombardment intensity per unit area, so the Third Fleet, which was hidden at an altitude of more than 1000 kilometers, planned to continue to wait, but soon, optical instruments quickly discovered the crash of the Freedom-class ship .

"We can't wait any longer, otherwise even if we win, I might be punished! The pressure on the First and Second Fleets is too great."

Thinking this way, Lan Ying waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

Immediately afterwards, a group of carrier-based aircraft carried by the support ship Dongshan suddenly started in an area less than 200 kilometers away from the swarm, but only a moment later, the engines of these carrier-based aircraft stopped working.

Is it broken?
of course not.

With the help of the initial speed generated by the thrust brought by the sudden start of the engine, the carrier aircraft formation began to accelerate towards the swarm under the attraction of gravity.And because all the systems were almost completely shut down, the process of approaching the Double Moon Star like a meteorite made the insect swarm in the fierce battle completely unresponsive.

Sitting on the bridge of the Dongshan ship, Lan Ying was also relieved after receiving Chi Yu's report that everything went well.

The most problematic part of the whole process is actually the moment when the carrier-based fleet starts the engine. Since they have never done similar sneak attacks before, the friends have no experience in this, and they privately speculate that the short engine start is the most important. It is easy to expose the position of the carrier-based fleet.

However, it took less than 10 seconds to start the engine for a short period of time, and there were only 30 drones in the entire team, and the distance in this vast universe was more than 200 kilometers. The detection technology of bugs seemed not so sensitive.

"With this experience, I believe that we will be able to complete similar tasks more smoothly in the future." Sitting on the bridge, Lan Ying imagined that if everything goes well, perhaps in the future, the Friends Fleet will need to set up a weapon that is good at sneak attacks. force.

If possible, she is even considering transferring all of her Shadow Clan students to this unit.

But the focus right now is whether the battle will be successful.

At a distance of 70 kilometers, the carrier-based aircraft formation was actually ready to drop bombs, but Chi Yu did not issue an attack order. He was looking for the best opportunity to fight and was unwilling to waste this great opportunity.

Chi Yu's thinking is different from Lan Ying's. Even if the sneak attack is successful, he thinks that the Zerg will be all prepared for the sneak attack.In this way, unless there are more excellent special-purpose airframe equipment troops in the future, opportunities like this will be a one-shot deal, so he is absolutely unwilling to take it lightly.

"The distance is 50 kilometers, captain. If you get closer, you will probably be discovered!" The psychological factors of some teammates seem to be a bit unreasonable. It took about 10 seconds, so they obviously began to worry about whether they would be too late to activate once the distance was too close, because that would completely become a target.

But Chi Yu, who has been fighting on the front line from the very beginning, obviously has no such psychological pressure: "It's not enough now, let me take care of my own hands, don't delay the whole team!"

"……Yes."

With a distance of 30 kilometers, looking around, the large part of the swarm like a dark cloud shrouded in low orbit is already clearly visible.Similarly, if there are bugs looking at the top of their heads at this time, they may be able to see the bright spots in the cabin of the carrier-based aircraft formation if they have particularly good eyesight.

But even at this time, Chi Yu still did not issue an attack order.

Even if the attack starts from here, with the speed of the mass-energy missile, it will take 3 minutes to reach the swarm.And at such a short distance, once the missiles are launched, the carrier-based aircraft formation will definitely be discovered. Although escape can be easily achieved, the missiles will be avoided by the Zerg if they are not handled properly. In this way, the best results cannot be obtained. Wasted this precious mass-energy missile...

Calculating in his heart when is the best balance between safety and victory, Chi Yu's forehead also began to ooze drops of sweat.

The rolling sweat droplets affected his vision, so that he had to blink, but it also caused a short-term loss of vision: "It seems that when the war calms down during this period of time, we can consider de-energizing. Liuyuan, the boy's energy After melting, I don’t need to worry about sweat drops, it seems that I have to work hard.”

"team leader……"

"Wait!"

"But the distance has already entered 20 kilometers..."

"I said wait! You don't want to listen to orders, do you?"

"Do not."

It was rare that he interrupted his subordinates ruthlessly, and Chi Yu's heart was probably the most nervous in the whole team.Because he not only has to consider the results of the battle, but also is responsible for his subordinates.

At this time, two groups of flames seemed to erupt again in the first and second fleets in the distance, and exclamations came from the brigade's communication.If you look carefully, not only a Freedom Class was destroyed, but even a Meteor Star was destroyed.Although the two warships are both slender and slender, their volumes are quite different, Chi Yu recognized them at a glance.

But even so, Chi Yu didn't intend to waste this sneak attack opportunity in a hurry.

His carrier-based aircraft formation carried nine D-type mass-energy bombs this time, and each fighter plane also carried two B-type and two C-type bombs.Ideally, they could even destroy everything within a four-kilometer radius disc.As it happened, in order to give full play to their numerical advantages, the insect swarm gathered into a disc shape with a radius of about five kilometers.

Of course, that's just an ideal state after all. In fact, in Chi Yu's view, if he can wipe out 60% of the insect swarm with the force of his own team, it is already blessed by the elders.

But soon, he had to choose to attack as soon as possible.

He has already contacted the Third Fleet, and even learned that the command of the First and Second Fleets planned by the other party intended to use himself as bait to attract the attention of the swarm, and let the drones slowly squeeze the swarm together to play The maximum power of mass-energy bombs.However, as the First and Second Fleets successively saw a total of three warships destroyed, nearly ten warships seriously injured, and the rest all slightly injured, they were obviously a little bit impatient.

The pressure immediately fell on Lan Ying, who was sitting on the bridge of the Dongshan ship nervously waiting for news. As a last resort, she had to ask Chi Yu again, but she still did not urge her.

But although it was not a urging, Chi Yu looked at the distance and the battlefield situation. Even though his personal ability does not belong to the command system, he himself cannot see the specific battlefield situation, and he feels that the first and second fleets should not be allowed to wait any longer.

So, he connected the brigade communication.

"distance?"

"The distance is 11 kilometers, the captain..."

"Needless to say, activate the locking device and start the official attack after entering the 9-kilometer area!"

"Yes!!"

At this moment, everyone's enthusiasm recovered, and with the faint light flickering, the locker in the cockpit began to demarcate the approximate attack range of each aircraft based on Chi Yu's mental power connected to the team's command system, followed by This is the standard, starting to calibrate the Zerg target points within the range that can exert the maximum power of mass-energy weapons.

This action was completed in just over 1 seconds with the pure computing power of the 30C-level artificial brain.

The next moment, the distance has entered the range of 10 kilometers.

Under Chi Yu's order, all the manned and unmanned aircraft in the carrier-based aircraft formation no longer cared about concealment, and started their engines one after another.

The bug swarm seemed to be completely attracted by the first and second fleets, and did not make any countermeasures until half a minute after the sneak attack formation started the engine.Or even though they found the carrier-based aircraft squad, they just ignored them as the same existence as the drone formations that were compressing the distance of the swarm.

"What a satisfying response!"

Smiling and nodding, the distance is already close to 9 kilometers. Although the current situation can continue to break in, if you wait a minute longer, the pressure on the first and second fleets will increase. What's more, the altitude has dropped to more than 1 kilometers at this moment. If they continued to wait, everyone would have to face the danger of gravity dragging the fighter plane into the ground.

"Number 01, a D-type mass-energy missile, launch!"

"Number 02, a D..."

……

When the huge disc-shaped UFO in the sky suddenly seemed to be a few complete balls dropped by PS, the battle was actually close to the end.

As Chi Yu thought, the Zerg didn't care about the sudden appearance of [-] space fighters. The Zerg swarm was in the tens of thousands, so it didn't matter.As for the mass-energy weapon, although I have seen it in the previous meteorite attack, I didn't pay too much attention to it because the number is too small.

But it was completely unexpected that the Friends of the Clan would use a sneak attack tactic to send this kind of weapon into the swarm that happened to be dense.So when the first wave of full-D mass-energy missiles were sent into the nine areas of the swarm, about 40% of the swarm was wiped out in this attack alone.

The pressure on the first and second fleets dropped suddenly, and many people, like the worms, hadn't figured out what was going on. The second wave of C-type mass-energy bomb attacks appeared among the worms again.

Although the power has been reduced a little, the number has doubled, and the attack range of each missile is reasonably distributed by taking advantage of the great opportunity that the bugs have not yet reacted.

So after one round, the bug swarm was gnawed away by less than half.

Looking from the ground at this time, the huge disc-shaped insect swarm looked like poor-quality briquettes, with only a few scattered parts left, which looked quite pitiful.

And taking advantage of this great opportunity, the First and Second Fleets began to change their formations, using concentrated superior forces to nibble away at the swarms that had been blown into small groups by the mass-energy bombs.In the same way, the Dongshan carrier-based aircraft team, which has made great achievements, saw a good opportunity and directly let the drones protect themselves, and then began to throw the remaining B-type ammunition at the small-scale insect swarms.
