The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Next to her, there were twenty doomsday dreadnoughts, and the escorting cruiser fleet surrounded them like sucker fish around a tiger shark.

Oregana was sitting on the captain's seat, five data pipelines were connected to the back of her neck, and the indicator light was flashing red.She watched the chaotic scene become stable when she jumped, and the familiar starry sky appeared in front of her eyes, and she exhaled slightly.On her port side, a whole fleet of warships had jumped out, and King Kong Gai's rounded hull looked safe.

"Huh?" Liu Lizi said in surprise. She zoomed in on the fleet and found a large warship with a different style from the middle. "That's... Andromeda?"

There are four 406mm triple beam compression impact gun turrets, which are all placed on the upper part of the hull according to the arrangement of surface ships, in an arrangement of two front and two rear; it is still the same towering battle bridge as the Yamato, but the energy detector It shows that there are multiple layers of shields placed on the bridge to protect the safety of the headquarters - although it feels like putting it inside the hull can save a lot of work; then there are the two huge gun ports on the bow - the two-chamber wave burst Radiator:

Abbreviation, diffusion wave cannon.

Although it is not as good as Yamato's wave cannon in terms of output and single-target attack, it is surprisingly effective in clearing miscellaneous soldiers in a large area.

"Well, it's Andromeda." Oregana raised her eyebrows slightly, with a surprised expression in her eyes, "The League of Nations sent their flagship? We clearly said that this is just a small-scale assembly."

"[Found the dark worm mobile unit, the size is unknown, there seems to be intelligent individuals, hope to get reinforcements]." The expression on Liu Lizi's face seemed to say 'Why are you so stupid' "Hearing this sentence, the integration All the military departments in the civilized circle were blown up. Then the next sentence is [Please send the defense fleet to the assembly point as soon as possible]——If you were the commander of the League of Nations, what would you think? Ah, not only the League of Nations, Look over there..."

Look in the direction Liu Lizi pointed - emmmmm, it's the Gamilas fleet, four Jericho special-class first-class spaceships have arrived, and they are still special defense models with shields in front.

Thinking about it carefully... it seems that the stimulation is very big... (covering face)

The last time this kind of assembly notice appeared was when the MUV world was undergoing a major retreat. The three-way melee was in a mess. The lost fleet of silicon-based civilization, the dark worm swarm, and the fleet of the Consolidation Department were in the same galaxy. Face to face, the colonial ship behind was desperately trying to find people, and finally when the retreat limit was reached, there were still a bunch of personnel transfer ships who had not had time to return to the ship and jumped away by themselves.

Although it was advertised to the public that this was a victory for Si Guoyi, no one in the know would feel that Thanossi.

But now, the commanders at that time received this order again, and all their scalps were numb...

In short, all those who could be quickly mobilized to the scene were pulled over.

The breath of war has not had time to disperse among the civilians in the Civilization Circle of the Consolidation Department. The fleet has already assembled on the outskirts of the galaxy. As time goes by, more and more warships are present.

[The jump is over, we have arrived at the assembly point. 】

[Long live Camilas! ! 】

[This is the flagship "Montgomery" of the Eighth Fleet of the Second Space Region of the Joint Army. I am Lieutenant General Natal Bakilulu, and the fleet has arrived! 】

[Stand bearer troops have entered the target area, and the command is handed over to Warlord Oregana. 】

According to different cultural traditions, design concepts, and combat requirements, the battleships built one after another complete the transition. It looks like a military parade of all nations——

Troops from the United ZAFT side arrived in batches, and the first to arrive was the latest hyperspace combat MS——ZGMF·W-NX-3 'Mystletainn' (note).This type of MS is a new type of MS manufactured after ZAFT and the United obtained the technology of miniaturization of the leap engine, inertial stabilization system, power furnace and shield system used by the cavalry carrier aircraft, and tried to imitate the tower Loth's aircraft carrier tactics.

(Note: ZGMF (Zero-gravitymaneuverFighter) W (WARP jumping type), Mystletainn (Mistletin, the sword of mistletoe in Nordic mythology))

This type of MS is equipped with high-output particle cannons and electromagnetic cannons on the shoulders and waist, and pop-up light blades on the wrists, but it does not use armored shields-even if the designers rack their brains, they cannot design a The armored shield that blocks the plasma cannon spit out by the 200-meter dark worm seems cumbersome even with the shield, so it is simply not installed.

Then he took a rocket launcher loaded with seven fission bombs, which looked no different from ordinary mobile suits, but its performance had far surpassed that of the past, and it was closer to the cavalry carrier-based aircraft. (So ​​I've been complaining about it all the time—then why are you still in human form!)

But the researchers said - we have replaced the joystick with force feedback, which is easy to operate!And we will definitely point out the technology of brain control one day in the near future to replace force feedback!I don't know how convenient it is to train pilots in the future, let me tell you!At that time, just take any high school student who doesn't know where, and just plug it into the cockpit to fly up and fight bugs!

emmmmm... [A 16-year-old engineering student cut off Jin En once he stuffed it into it] I really don't know how to talk about this matter at this time. (cover face)

Because it has become rich recently, and the progress made in human-computer interaction (neural link) (it seems that the doll is easier to adapt to the driver, in other words, the driver's training has become easier), and the original tradition, A considerable number of people in the military are still optimistic about humanoid weapons.A total of more than [-] of this type of MS were produced——

As for whether humanoid weapons will be replaced in the future, it depends on whether the neural link system makes a breakthrough first, or whether a new type of MA equipped with heavy firepower, shields and jumping engines is built first.In Oregana's view, once this MA is created and put into production, MS may have to step down from the stage of history.

However, the basic technical level is not up to standard, so the output of this type of MS is still lower than that of the cavalry carrier-based aircraft, and the pilots cannot adapt to the manic driving style used by clone pilots, but this does not prevent the pilots from being happy. Pilot their new mechs.

They walked around in place for a while before they docked on ZAFT's two 'Perch'-class battle barges. This type of battleship is less than 600 meters long and can carry 540 'Mistlettins'. It is modular. From the design point of view, it can be converted into a large-scale MA carrier ship at any time. The designer also considered a lot of content. (far eye)

Communications came in one after another, and intelligence exchanges became more intensive, and intelligence from the front had been passed on to the various commanders.

But the most basic enemy intelligence is still not available, and everything still depends on the results of the Blood Ravens who are still on the front line.

Oregana looked at the fleet assembled around, each battleship was separated very far, looking like a vast chessboard from a distance - every battleship was supported by a shield, and the nano-armor was full of energy.You must know that when you have not yet entered the battlefield and are still gathering at the assembly point, it is also very dangerous for the fleet, because you don't know if something will come to you, and you must fight well at this time Prepare.

The fleet is majestic, and it looks pleasing to the eye. Although so many came by accident, Oregana has more confidence in her heart.She looked at the communication from the front line and said:

"Commander Ray Za Baler is commanding the battle on the front line. The engineering troops of the Blood Ravens have built fourteen star bridges. The scout ship set off two hours ago... We think he has found the location of the suspected enemy gone."

Although it is strange to dispatch four scout ships at a time, it may be due to a deviation in the analysis of the signal, and multiple targets were scanned as a result.Scattering all the scout ships was the right choice. Although he is still very young, he has begun to approach Kruzer in terms of the way of thinking about battle——

Steady and cautious, but at the same time has the flair and flair to strike hard at just the right time.

Perhaps their Primarch was such a man. (meditation)

"Fourteen star bridges?" Liu Lizi's eyes widened, "So many?"

"Well," Oregana's expression gradually disappeared, and the red coat of arms on her forehead began to become more eye-catching. Her brain has been connected to the Tiamat, like a part, simultaneously operating the battleship and processing news and communications from all parties.Although his face became somewhat similar to Nagato's, his mouth kept pressing, "Not only that, but he also mobilized a large number of air mines from the rear to the front line."

If Nagato Yuki is a three-nothing with no mouth, no heart and no expression, this guy is nothing at the moment--the mouth is constantly pushing, and the excited mood of this guy can be seen from the coat of arms of Khorne, but he just has no expression ...

To be honest, what's the point of being expressionless?The brain is used as a supercomputer, so is it still lacking such a little computing power?Once the gate of Oregana Promenade is closed, the energy transmission and life support system inside will be cut off, will the extra computing power be able to maintain the expression?

no! .jpg

Maybe it's tradition. (far eye)

"Interesting... We probably know what he's going to do."

"I don't quite understand. What are you going to deliver with so many star bridges?" Liu Lizi has seen the warhead warheads before, and she is familiar with it, but she still doesn't know what Lei is thinking. The same goes for Konglei, are you planning to use hyperspace warfare at such a long distance? It doesn't feel very reliable..."

Is it possible to use a large number of star bridges to send a bunch of empty mines to blow up at the same time?But this is unreliable... Although the power is sufficient, this kind of attack is very slow, far from meeting the requirements of the 'tactical' level.

After the first thought of this fighting method, someone immediately thought how terrible it would be if this fighting method was used to fight against conventional civilizations - Starbridge couldn't throw the fleet into the planet's gravitational circle, but It is entirely feasible to project to the near and then rely on the terminal guidance of the warhead to carry out ultra-long-distance planetary bombing.In order to deal with possible attacks, there are now jump interceptors used to induce [drop bombs] near the home star and colony star of each civilization. The impact on shipping is less than expected, and it also increases the difficulty for smugglers. Everyone In fact, quite satisfied.

This is an attack at the strategic level, and the reason for thinking of this way of fighting is that when the planet is the target, the planet does not move.The orbit of a planet is fixed. When you know how long it will take for the 'cannonball' to arrive, you can completely guess where the planet's precise position is, and then aim at the right position at the right time to launch it, and it will eventually arrive. near the planet.

But tactical strikes against a fleet are different, people... can run away... (cover face)

"The distance is a bit far." Oregana smiled. "Even if the reconnaissance ship is projected through the star bridge, it will take six to seven hours. In other words, it will take such a long time to project the air mine."

"This batch is empty mines, but they are unguided. Although they do damage in a large area, but..."

"Air mines actually have a lot of uses." Oregana explained, "If the enemy's position has been determined, then launching an air mine first is equivalent to opening the way with artillery before charging. The loss ratio is usually better than just going straight in."

"Although this time it is too far away, it takes more than six hours for the 'cannonball' to land from the chamber. However, if the opponent is really squatting on the spot as he predicted... It is a truth in the world to be smashed by the artillery, Even if something is being projected, the reaction time is less than 20 seconds."

"Hmm..." Liu Lizi showed a thoughtful expression, "A squat with a monthly unit? It feels incredible."

"The question now is whether the bugs are actually there."

"That's right. All the preparations are based on the guess that 'the dark worms are still in ambush'. If they have already left, there will always be an embarrassing feeling of fighting wits with the air." The leopard shook Tail, nodded and said, "But the biggest loss is embarrassment. In fact, it's already a super profit."

"Look, the fleets of other civilizations in the Consolidation Department have completed their assembly. It looks like a lot."

Indeed, the fleet is magnificent and magnificent, with more than a thousand warships of various types, among which there are even large ships full of power like the Torment class. They are fully armed and ready to go into battle at any time, and they look dazzling.

Liu Lizi tilted her head and whispered:

"Well, it's quite a large fleet." From the very beginning, when Oregana announced to notify other civilizations in the command department, Liu Lizi felt very strange, "But, is it necessary? I think Blood Raven can handle it completely. This matter is over, there is no need to ask everyone to help."

In her opinion, although a fleet of dark worms running around is a headache, it is not enough to use a fleet of this size-an enemy tank unit operating in one's own defense zone is indeed terrifying, but this does not mean that you have to Use the battleship to use the main gun to blow up, this battle is too terrible.

Oregana sighed slightly, she is usually so smart, why can't she turn her head around now?

"After reporting to the command department, the fleet assembled by everyone can't be used for hunting at all." She called up the fleet list and sent it to Liulizi's terminal. "Look at those models, are they suitable for hunting and capturing warships?"

"Eh?"

Indeed, whether it is Gendaya's artillery group centered on the Torment-class warship, or the United ZAFT's air control force, or the star ring and Meow's attack force, none of them are fleets that are known for their speed.

As for Gamilas and the League of Nations...everything is soaring, so let's put it aside for the time being.

In short, this is a high-speed fleet that is more suitable for defense and frontal decisive battles, rather than pulling out to play hide-and-seek with bugs.This suits Oregana very well——

"As stated in our previous announcement, this is the defense fleet." She said, "It's just in case."

"Meow meow? What do you mean?" Leopard meowed, "Just in case?"

"What do you think would happen if there was only one 'monitor' at that time?"

"Wait? Are there many?"

"We don't know."

Oregana shook her head. Captain Orwell's words at the time [They are intelligent, understand tactics, and will find weak points to attack] left a deep impression on her.If it is said that the dark worms will find weaknesses——

Want to attack the core world of the Ministry of Consolidation?This is impossible, the first step is to find the way to the core world, which is very difficult - you can try to squeeze the wormhole, or try the star gate, anyway, Ligelu tried it before, but couldn't squeeze it .The second part is to break through the fortress group of the core world. Any parent galaxy has been fortified or semi-fortified. Both Genesis and Fortress are selling well. Your father can't even recognize it in seconds, and there are several overview forts waiting for you when you get closer.

But...if there were multiple watchers watching, they would have seen Ansador's ship take the survivors to the new planet, and from there back to New Eden through the star gate.

If they ran faster, they could have slipped away without a trace before the watchtower was erected...

"We just thought, if there was more than one monitor there at that time - the route we moved to that primitive civilization must have been exposed." Oregana regretted that she didn't conduct a careful scan there at that time. "We I'm really afraid that they will steal that planet, and then take advantage of the lack of defense to take the stargate..."

It's hard to imagine how terrible things will happen after the dark worm seizes a star gate, Liu Lizi swallowed:

"Don't they dare to chase after them? And... even if they really want to attack that galaxy, it will take a long time, right?"

"It's hard to say," Oregana shook her head, "That's one of the reasons why we called for support. Let's do some calculations—if the other party's target is really that galaxy, from the coordinates provided by Lei and Li Gelu The data provided to calculate ... not good."

Her face was still as expressionless as before, but the crest of Khorne on her forehead glowed like a pulse, a testament to her inner turmoil:

"We only hope that Blood Raven's scouts can find a dark worm fleet in two hours, instead of a space distortion left by the jump."

Chapter 537 Chapter 486: Six hours of bombing

Although the "Montgomery" used the latest technology, its internal structure was the same as before. Taking the bridge as an example, only a shield controller and a space navigation navigator were added.

Although the designer was thinking about [everyone can stay in a familiar place and operate the ship], but when they got the new ship, they found that it was not much different from the previous one, and many crew members jokingly called it [there is no such thing as using a super ship by yourself]. The feeling of technology].But for Natal Bakilulu, sitting in a place she knows well in these stressful times is just perfect.

She leaned her upper body slightly on the chair in the captain's seat. The ergonomically designed chair relieved the pressure on her shoulders and waist.The scene at this moment reminded her of the time when the United and ZAFT were still at war, when the Cruze team attacked Heliopolis, and she and the Archangel were trapped in the bombed port.

At that time, my young self was the officer with the highest surviving rank, and was forced to take over the command. Outside, ZAFT's most prestigious star commander (ZAFT's favorite Lulau Lou Kruse desu~) was watching, Apart from surrendering, the only option is to start the Archangel and rush out.

While waiting to draw energy from the energy pipeline in Heliopolis to start the battleship, I leaned on the chair of the captain's seat like this, trying my best to calm down my nervous mood-a few years have passed, and I have suffered from several high The gold-containing military exploits, as well as being sent to the Tartarus Naval Academy (specialized in the external department) to learn the course of super-light long-distance combat when the military of the joint military exchange and learning, plus some backstage at home relationship, successfully embarked on the post of general officer.

Perhaps for the people in the family, being a general can bring some benefits to the family.But to be honest, Natal herself doesn't like those twists and turns. She is a traditional soldier. Wearing the rank badge of a general and holding the admiral's staff also means heavier responsibilities.

This is also the reason why she is willing to personally lead the fleet here to fight together.

Just when Natal Bakilulu was quietly adjusting her inner tension, CIC said:

"The Second Flying Squadron has returned to the ship." This was a young man, he frowned slightly, as if the voice from the earphones was very loud, "Everyone...sounds very excited."

The new bridge is located inside the hull and is protected by multiple armors and shields. If necessary, the bridge can even be used as a lifeboat to fly out directly, so there is no need to sit in the bridge wearing a spacesuit like in the past.And past experience has proved that wearing a spacesuit in the bridge does not improve your survival rate, so everyone wears military uniforms.

As if trying to cover up something, Natal straightened her admiral's hat, sat up straight, and said in a cold and majestic tone that fit the image of a 'general':

"What's so exciting? Are they all rookie pilots?"

CIC shook his head with a wry smile. He has been with him for a long time, and he understands what his boss is thinking.So, he purposely said in a relaxed tone:

"No... but, you know, General. Pilots... are basically excited all the time."
