The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

【clear. 】

Hearing the unsuspecting answer on the other side, the affairs officer from the Ansador family showed a strange smile on his face, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear:

"I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to issue orders to the army in the name of the president of the Atlantic Federation..."

----------

The picture in front of him trembled for a while, and then became clear again.A large number of mechanical fragments and wreckage floated around, exuding a dangerous and tragic atmosphere.

"Ha, ha, ha..." Oregana took a few deep breaths, tremblingly touched a wooden stick and bit it in her mouth, "I'm so scared to death..."

[What the hell are you scaring me to death! 】Responding to the roar of the war scythe coming from her newsletter【Is this how the precious Titan ship is used? ! 】

"We know where the limit of this ship is, and we won't mess around," she checked the system and saw that the damage was within the acceptable range, so she waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's only the emergency hull energizer that was burned, we still have to deal with it." More than 80.00% of combat power is retained."

The emergency hull energizer is the ultimate defense equipment that can only be equipped by the flagship. It is developed from the basic damage control system. It combines the internal force field stabilization system with the electromagnetic molecular hull enhancer to minimize the core structure of the ship. Hurt.As long as it is activated, the force field inside the hull will be strengthened to an extremely terrifying level within 20 seconds. In the previous test, a Najafa-class dreadnought even relied on this equipment to withstand a round of iron damage. Spears' Kinetic Lances.

However, once the emergency hull energizer is activated, the surge of the energy flow is equally frightening. All the conductive materials known so far cannot withstand this surge, so it can only be activated for about 20 to 20 seconds. In [-] seconds, the system will definitely burn out, and it will be impossible to start it again before the overhaul.

By the way, on the Tiamat Titan, the switches of the emergency hull energizer and the micro-jump thruster are tied together, and can be activated by the big red button on the armrest of the captain's seat.Under normal circumstances, the emergency hull energizer is a device that can be activated to allow the ship to flee the battlefield in a critical situation, but in the hands of the legion master, it has other uses.

"What is the origin of this thing?" The nano-armor repairer is repairing the damaged armor on the bow, and the broken and peeling armor plate is gradually being restored with the efforts of nano-machines. Without the help of the logistics ship, this will take a long time. .This allowed Oregana to observe the wreckage scattered around——

There is no such thing as a ship's passageway at the break inside the battleship, only the torn mechanical structure and the buffer structure used for defense.Crystals of unknown names and properties exist throughout the wreckage, and only after careful analysis of the wreckage will it be possible to know what they are.

The life detection system was scanning the wreckage carefully, but there was no response.And judging from the data, it's not that "all living bodies died under the blow of the "Day of Judgment" doomsday weapon", but that "there never existed from the very beginning".

Is it an unmanned ship?Or are the life forms on the ship a never-before-seen type?The legion commander prefers the former.

"What do you think?"

[Not sure, if it is the master behind BETA, there is a saying that it is silicon-based life?But we know nothing about this life form beyond science fiction. 】Scythe of War released a few camera drones to observe the wreckage from all directions, but this is not an antique appreciation. You can’t see much information with a magnifying glass. 【However, we have to study this wreckage later. The battle has not yet been completed. Finish. 】

"Well, where is the next support location?" asked the Legion Commander, "Essex?"

[The battle around Mars is very fierce.] Essex, as the commander-in-chief of the campaign, has shown her strength. She is able to command the air force to attack the enemy while making overall arrangements. 【There are three motherships there, currently One Molo has already been sunk. 】

"Understood, let's go there as soon as possible." The legion leader activated a capacitor, and a huge amount of energy poured into the main capacitor, replenishing the energy margin that was already on the dangerous border as much as possible. "It will take about... four minutes and 30 seconds. "

Use the only two Titan ships as a firefighting team, put them into a certain battlefield when the situation is not good, and forcibly turn the tide of the battle with their powerful firepower.This method seems to be very effective now-the conventional/flagship mixed force directly annihilates a small group of enemies, and when encountering a strong enemy, it calls the final decisive weapon to enter the field to make a final decision.

But no one thought that there would be a super flagship of a third-party force on the battlefield, which forced the Tartarus fleet to put two Titan ships into the same battlefield at once. Although the enemy ships were wiped out with overwhelming firepower, this However, the two titan ships were trapped in the same battlefield, unable to make a transition in a short period of time.

[The final Yan World has 2 minutes to start the jump engine, let me go to support it first. 】

"No, you stay where you are and stand by," the legion chief stopped him, "There should be more than one of that kind of thing just now, if it appears again, your gravitational radar should be able to find its location as soon as possible. Save your doomsday weapon until then Reuse."

The super flagship represents the strongest combat power, and they are the pinnacle of fleet power with the strongest firepower and defense, just like the battleships in the old navy.But even if the firepower and defense are ridiculously strong, they will never dispatch a single ship. Any commander with a clear mind will prepare a fully functional escort fleet for them.It is not unheard of to use this kind of ship for single-ship battles, but the end is not very good, and it will even be made into a meme. (meditation)

Oregana thinks that she uses this idea to analyze the fleet configuration of unknown alien forces. Although it is a bit arbitrary, the deviation should not be very large-the basics of space warfare are like this, jumping, contacting the enemy, firepower and protection, artillery and lightning strikes Combat, whether you use lasers or supergravity cannons, basically cannot escape from this category.Then the fleet composition will not deviate much.

【learn! 】

The Halo fleet is being reorganized, and the two logistics ships rescued the surviving crew from the broken flagship. General Anteo Dingfar hoisted the flag of the general on the second ship and continued to fight.Several night-class ships also entered the battlefield and began to transfer the wreckage of unknown warships. Although many parts of the hull were lost in the exchange of fire, and were even smashed into two pieces, its size was right there. It's a headache for night-class drivers.

[We detected a very clear G-element response signal when the unknown warship entered the battlefield. This is the data received at that time.] General Antio Dinfar uploaded the data collected by the previous detector to the command network [this Could it be BETA's reinforcements? 】

"It's possible," Oregana nodded, "but I always feel that something is weird."

At the beginning, everyone thought that BETA did not have the ability to move faster than the speed of light, did not have the ability to communicate faster than the speed of light, and even lacked the ability to communicate between planets.This is reasonable. The BETAs on Earth have been fighting with light-level and heavy-ray-levels for decades. The BETAs on Mars didn’t come up with an air defense method until the night god rides on the face; the collected The G element is also transported by a slow-moving projectile that makes it impossible to imagine that it is an interstellar vehicle. Dark Rock drove a Fin Whale-class industrial command ship along a line and grabbed hundreds of projectiles with a flagship-class traction device. body, thanks to this, Tartarus now has enough samples of G element to study for half a century.

After hundreds of projectiles were caught, BETA tried to launch an "armed transport ship" with defensive firepower. It was this "armed transport ship" that caused a series of troubles.

The armed transport ship full of G elements was blown up on the tiny satellite of Mars. The sudden resonance between the explosion of G elements and the BETA lair made a bell-like sound in the subspace, and then the dark worms and unknown warships entered the solar system almost simultaneously.If it wasn't for the unidentified battleship just coming in or a dark worm killed by a single shot, Oregana thought there was some dirty PY transaction between them.

And now, the appearance of this battleship let everyone know that BETA—or the things behind BETA, not only has the ability to move faster than the speed of light, but also has attainments beyond imagination in graviton physics.This means that they are not far behind Tartarus in terms of technology, which makes people start to worry about how many such warships they have and how long they can be deployed in this star field.

If they can put five of these warships into the solar system to fight in ten hours, I am afraid that they will have to pay very serious losses to win; if ten ships enter the field, they will have to rely on the firepower of the fortress for positional warfare , and if there were twenty ships, there would be a nightmarish rout.

Thinking of this, Oregana sent an encrypted message to New Eden's headquarters.

If we really want to reach that point, we have to give them an Alternative5 that leaves no one behind, put everyone on board (tentatively named [Solar Ark Class]), and then blow up the star gate and run away.

[Could it be...will it develop into a three-party melee? ] General Antio Dingfar didn't seem to have thought of that situation.

"Maybe, or maybe it will be worse. But anyway, we have to wipe out the dark worms first." The legion leader hinted at him, and then started the jump engine "Let's go, Tiamat, let's go !"

The huge dark red battleship entered the transition state very quickly, it seemed that it only took one-third of the time for ordinary titan ships to start the transition.A few seconds later, she had already entered the orbit of Mars, and the fierce cluster laser main gun began to carve deep scars on the mothership class. The pulse lasers all over the body flickered like festive fireworks, and the air team of the dark worm attacked The momentum was contained in an instant.

Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Tiamat's bow shone with dazzling golden light again...

Chapter 325 Chapter 296: The Break of the Battle

The majestic fleet slowly passed the wreckage of the giant beast, and the victor's posture was undoubtedly displayed.But they were all injured, energy sparks jumped from the broken parts of the armor, and many battleships even lacked a few turrets.

"All fleets count battle damage!" Tiamat was naturally among them. Almost all the turrets on her bow were lost in the malicious collision of the unknown warship. The legion leader did not try to repair them with the equipment at hand—— That's a waste of effort. "The warships above the neutral point should go to the frontline base for repair immediately, and the medical department will save the wounded as much as possible! Is the subspace observation tower online? Don't let go of any space signal, there may be more than one wave of enemies. If possible, according to space fluctuations Reverse where the jump started."

The fight against the Dark Worm, while stressful, was actually pretty solid thanks to the right gear and tactics.When the commanders mastered the rhythm of the battle, the dark worms were doomed to be defeated.So that the battle in the later stage does not look like a confrontation between the two armies, but more like a fight between an agile hunter and a monster.

There are even dragon shooting guns that can be activated every once in a while. (nod)

However, the loss situation is not easy to be optimistic. The star ring community lost a flagship and double-digit conventional/auxiliary ships, most of which lost their repair value, and the casualties were also staggering. Realize now that stealth escape pods don't always work, or rather, most of the time in the heat of battle.

Maybe people didn't specifically target the escape compartment, but the large number of stray bullets and fragments created by the high-density mutual bombardment can easily tear these fragile compartments and the more fragile occupants inside to shreds.

General Anteo Dingfar was very frustrated by this. Well-trained soldiers are an incomparably important asset to the army.Although it is said that human life is the number in war, he has no way to quickly adjust his mentality to the state of a steel commander.

The staff bearers from Katari suffered relatively light losses, and they fought against heavy aircraft carriers scattered everywhere.This dark worm is the same type as the one that first invaded the Katari galaxy, with a smaller body and weaker firepower, so the Staff Bearer troops did not lose flagship ships.

As for the several troops that Tartarus put into battle... because of Tartarus' combat traditions, they lost a large number of battleships, four Molo-class dreadnoughts turned into stardust, and Dominique of the Dark Angels The battle damage of the Si-class battleships reached more than [-]%.

"The battle damage of the Dark Angel is terrible in terms of numbers..." After reading the loss report, the legion leader pulled the data cable from the back of his neck, "but we can't feel the tragic feeling after the bloody battle at all."

[Give up, no matter how we fight, we won't feel miserable. 】

Oregana shook her head, after setting the automatic navigation program, she turned and walked out of the bridge, went to Ganaku to take the shuttle to leave Tiamat.This titan ship will go to the temporary anchorage of the earth-moon system, where the logistics ship and engineering machinery will repair the hull as much as possible, replace the damaged external viewfinder and automatic anti-aircraft gun.

During this time, she decided to go to the wreckage sorting office to conduct some analysis on the unknown warship.

[Legion Commander, we are already in place. 】The person who sent this communication is Lao Lu Kruzer. He has recently shifted his work focus to civil affairs. At this moment, he has led two Solar Ark-class colony ships to this galaxy. Once things start to deteriorate, these two colony ships Will take on the heavy responsibility of taking everyone away.

Thanks to the wise designers and reviewers, the Solar Ark-class colonial ship has an excellent, beautiful and humorous crew cabin design, and two ships are enough to take away all the people in this world. (forcing true)

"Be ready to act at any time, contact the agents of the Ansador family on the ground, if you really want to implement this plan, they will assist in the transfer of personnel." Oregana urged, "Check the personnel transportation module and life perception Radar, there must be no mistakes in this."

【clear. 】But there was a trace of uneasiness in Kruse's voice 【However, it is hard to imagine that the evacuation work of so many people can be completed quickly. 】

You must know that evacuating a large number of people is a difficult task in itself.Kruse still remembers that when he lived in PLANT, he conducted evacuation training every quarter. This was because the structure of the colony itself was not solid. In the event of an accident, everyone must go to the escape facilities near their homes as soon as possible to be rescued.But even with such high-frequency special training, the effect each time is not satisfactory.

Can people on this earth really respond quickly?

"Don't worry, the local army can play a role in guiding the people," Oregana comforted him, "Besides, you can't underestimate the adaptability of people in this world. After all, except for a certain Atlantic Federation, basically all regions Everyone has the experience of being driven away by alien creatures. When it comes to escaping, they have a lot of experience and skills."

【Everyone in this world has had a hard time...】

On the screen captured by the external viewfinder, Oregana can see the broken artificial facilities in the earth's orbit, which are the colony ship assembly workshops on the Lagrange point. At this moment, these assembly workshops have basically been destroyed. Years of money and manpower went up in minutes.The Earth fleet is rushing over from another space station, maybe to save people, maybe to rescue equipment, but no matter what the purpose is, there is a high probability that they will not get what they want.

In the next second, the scene trembled, and hyperspace ripples filled the field of vision. A few seconds later, what was in front of me was completely different—the rust-colored Minmatar control tower stood alone in the void, and the huge frequency The shield covered all the space facilities within the range, including the research laboratory that was fixing the wreckage with several tractor rays.

Outside the frequency shield, the Great Red Spot was clearly identifiable, and the roaring storms on this gaseous planet never stopped, and the tumbling air currents made its surface look the same for no two seconds.There are very deep considerations for anchoring the control tower near gaseous planets - BETA does not have the ability to land on gaseous planets, and it is far away from the Earth's circle. Various researches here will not be disturbed, and if something goes wrong, you can do it without hesitation blow up.

"Boss, are you here?" Waiting for the arrival of the legion leader in the research laboratory were 76 and her two brain worms.She looks good, and her two dull hairs vibrate vigorously from time to time.It's worth noting that every time her fur flutters, the cerebrum's tentacles tremble twice, which seems to be some kind of special way of communication?

Psionic tentacles and psionic furry? (convinced)

"Well, what did you find?" The legion leader walked into the research room, pulled out a cable and connected it to the data port on the back of his neck, and casually browsed the information he now knows.

"Look at these crystals," 76 sat down beside her, and turned on a holographic projection, which showed the crystals exposed from the breach of the wreckage of the unknown warship. "It's the first time we found something of this structure on a ship. "

That was the area torn apart by the 'Iron Spear'. A terrible wound was engraved on the hull. Compressed by abnormal gravity, the surrounding sections looked hideous and terrifying.

"On a ship? In other words, has this been found elsewhere?"

"That's right," 76 nodded vigorously, and then, a brain worm tapped the touchpad with its forelimb, and called up a set of images "In the lair of the heavy brain class. In the ruins of the lair that we conquered before, we found There are a large number of structures that emit the same energy response and spectrum as this one."

Just by looking at it, you know it's the same thing, just like you know it's a road roller when you hear the sound of the drum and the engine.

"In other words, is this really something related to BETA?"

The self-discipline engineering machinery cut through the thick metal plate, and took out the blue-white radiant crystal from the cavity.The beautiful crystals really make it impossible to connect with the disgusting and ugly alien species of BETA.However, if the Protoss held a piece of this thing in their hands, there would be no sense of disobedience. (meditation)

"Very strong G element response, their technology tree is very high in this regard. Found it, it is a graviton reactor!"

The G element can be used to control gravity, which means that this battleship is indeed using this energy source.It seems that after the discovery of the G element, all the development of this alien civilization revolves around the G element.Whether it's the graviton reactor unit or the powerful supergravity cannon, they all revolve around this thing.

Thinking about it, with such a convenient thing, it is a normal choice to design and develop all around it, but from the perspective of outsiders, I always feel that they rely too much on the G element... Maybe these aliens Look at the G element, just like humans look at boiling water or explosions?

Crystals are part of the energy storage system and defense system. The crystals rich in G elements are not only used as 'fuel', but also as key nodes to stabilize the internal force field to ensure the integrity of the battleship structure.

"It seems to be a very convenient design?" 76 thought for a while, "Should we try it next time..."

"We don't want it. This design seems very convenient, but it is actually very dangerous. They are able to do this based on the extreme stability of the energy storage system." Oregana immediately shook her head and vetoed "and we have no way to do this." , Our energy system has a higher output, so arranging energy pipelines in this way will not only reduce the efficiency of energy transmission, but also easily explode.”

"Ah~"

The legion leader stopped talking, and she devoted all her energy to the analysis of the wreckage.

The more she analyzed, the more Oregana realized that this weird warship was even more bizarre than imagined.The armor structure has worked hard on heat dissipation and light reflection. It should be used to defend against lasers, and its efficiency is much higher than expected; as for kinetic energy bombs, it mainly relies on the buffer structure behind the main armor for defense. Passive way of confrontation, but with a buffer structure with an average thickness of more than one kilometer, the effect is actually surprisingly good, and the absorption and dissipation of heat energy is also...

"It depends on its size again. This thing looks like a bug." The warlord curled his lips, showing an expression like a child quarreling. "This design is too clever."

"After all, with such a large body, there is no need to use it for nothing. The ship is already so big, so it must not be a waste with thin skin and big stuffing. The tonnage must be used."

That's what I said, but I always feel that it's pretty stupid to do so.Oregana stroked her chin and pondered for a while, feeling that she couldn't imitate this kind of design—simply expanding the hull would increase the manufacturing cost of the fleet, and maintenance and other issues were also troublesome and made people want to cry.

And the most important thing is that if you do this, your combat effectiveness will not be improved much, it is just a waste of money...

"There is no crew cabin, and there is no life support system within the cognitive range. Do you think this is really an unmanned ship?"

As the scanning progress increased, the internal structure diagram of the battleship began to be slowly completed.Unlike the intricate passages that can be seen in common ship interior design drawings, there are basically no personnel passages in this battleship. After careful investigation, the small passages left behind are found to be used for repairing machinery.There is even no life support system. Even Oak's boat will have a bellows filled with Squigs, which means that this boat doesn't even plan to do it.

"No, look here."

"?"

"If you think of these as information pathways, you can see that they all end up in the same place."
