The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

【Yes! 】

One squadron leader answered decisively, while the other squadron leader had a smile in his voice:

[I don't think it can spare its mind to hit us when facing a Titan. 】

"I think so too."

The Tin Woodman shrugged noncommittally. Immediately afterwards, the turbidity in the outer subspace had calmed down, and the leap force field collapsed. Feeling the tremors from the outside of the hull, the scene suddenly became clear——

A ten-kilometer-long battleship with an irregular shape is surrounded by a large number of small ships, and it has large and small damages on its body.As soon as the Tin Woodman looked at it, he knew that it was dug out by the graviton weapon.The surrounding airspace is full of wreckage, and the distortion of space is like twists being fried in a frying pan. This is the impact of ATA's attack on the battlefield.

After the fleet entered the battlefield, the Radam's movements were a little slow, and it took several seconds to set up the counter-drive. The light warships scattered around, ready to attack from all directions, and the flagship aimed at Axi. Si, the antimatter cannon that can be used all over the body emits a dazzling red light.

The Tin Woodman issued an order, and the turret on the Axis, which was about the size of a battleship, pointed steadily at the enemy ship, and the muzzle glowed green:

"All fleet, the battle begins!"

【learn! 】

The bombardment fired by the Radam flagship felt like missiles fired from the main gun. Those antimatter bombs circled the universe, not from the front, but from all directions to attack the Axis——

This trick is surprising. If a ship is designed to face the enemy in a certain direction, then the surrounding defense capabilities may be lower than the enemy face, which means there will be a concept of 'weakness'.For example, the tail thrusters that cannot be perfectly protected no matter what, if that place is hit, at least you have to lie down for a while... But anyway, warships with long combat distances are usually not stabbed around the back, even if It is a missile, and it is difficult to turn around and hit after a high-speed penetration, because high speed and rapid steering usually lead to structural fracture.

And even if you really got to that position, ready to start stabbing, there is a special stern anti-aircraft gun system waiting for you-everyone knows that it is terrible to go around behind the chrysanthemum, how could it be possible to make it a blind spot for air defense?

But Radam's antimatter cannon is different...God knows how this thing can turn at a large angle at such a high bullet speed. Although the accuracy of the end is not very good, it can be fired in one direction After that, the fact that the entire enemy ship can be washed in an instant is really a bit of a keyboard.

If it was a dreadnought, it would probably have lost half of its life in this round, right?It is true that these small antimatter clusters cannot continuously break through the shield, armor and internal force field, but if some external components on the surface of the hull—such as observers, turrets, attitude stabilizers, etc. are destroyed, the entire ship will be destroyed. The combat effectiveness of his body will instantly drop to a level no different from that of a coffin.

But this was a Titan, and the shield was intact after a round of shelling, and now it was the Tin Woodman's turn to fight back.

She activated the miniature jump thrusters, and the tens of kilometers long giant ship trembled slightly under the strong power, and started to move forward at an astonishing acceleration for this size, aiming directly at the Radam flagship.

When the turret locks onto the enemy ship, the attack begins.The giant particle cannon burst out with destructive brilliance, and the fierce shelling was like the heavy punch of an experienced boxer in the arena, beating the Radam flagship one after another.Flames continued to erupt on its outer armor. The armor that could resist the Song of Heaven without too much damage, however, continued to have terrible breaches under Axis' onslaught.

After all, although everyone is fighting antimatter, the output and convergence rate are completely different.On the one hand, it is a simplified version of the flagship gun that reduces the constricting ring and is powered by the power furnace of the battleship, focusing on space projection capabilities; on the other hand, it is a top-equipped flagship gun that increases the constricting ring as much as possible and is powered by a Titan-level power furnace. Focusing on face-smacking at conventional shelling distances, the effect is of course very different.

Red and green light beams were constantly flashing between the two battleships. In addition to the main guns, the secondary guns also started firing uninterruptedly after entering the range.If the main cannon is a heavy hammer that smashes the armor, then the secondary cannon is a dagger aimed at the gap in the armor. Under the control of the machine soul, these cannon fires are thrown at the attitude control nozzle on Radam's flagship, although they hit The rate is not high, but just hitting can put pressure on the enemy——

Well that's enough.

One's own enemies are not ruthless, fearless, and unintentional three-style cosmic insects. They are afraid and have independent consciousness, but they just have the appearance of insects.This kind of enemy is easier to deal with than the guy who regards death as nothing and hits him directly in the face when he is disabled.

This is also something that recruits who join various battle groups after graduating from the Naval Academy will feel very early-the first actual combat object is usually a pirate who is doing trouble in a remote galaxy or a trade route, or where the patching team cannot Catching their prey requires help.Then these newcomers who enter the battlefield with nervousness will find that actual combat is often not as intense as internal exercises...

In the Tartarus internal exercise, the highest accident fatality rate reached 87.4% of the personnel participating in the exercise on both sides, and this will not be held accountable.On the contrary, if the flagship battle damage reaches one ship, then it will be held accountable. (looking at the sky)

The two warships approached in an arc while shooting, which was a way of moving to ensure the output of firepower without colliding with each other, and this caused the two sides to draw a huge circle.Radham's troops around and the disaster-class battleship formation entering the field were engaged in fierce battles, but they consciously avoided the battlefield between the two giants, and no one wanted to be shot to death by stray bullets after entering the battlefield.

The two giant ships tried to get behind each other, but the movement of the enemy ship became sluggish.Maybe it was because of the injury before, or maybe it was because of the big gap between its own performance and the Axis. After a few minutes of shooting, this behemoth showed signs of decline.It was punched with dozens of large holes all over its body, but it was still able to continue fighting, which may indicate that it is also a small fire juice with structural resistance.

Small fire juice, you also have structural resistance?

But this time I am anti-A. (nod)

The enemy ship's attitude control nozzles began to emit light, and it began to adjust its direction, trying to point the bow to the Axis.

As for what it wants to do, the Tin Woodman is of course very clear - if he bombards the enemy with a doomsday weapon, he will also turn the bow of the Axis towards the opposite side.

Is this the end?

Originally, I wanted to continue. Since the other party planned to use the doomsday weapon, we had to make a quick decision here.The Tin Woodman sighed:

"The firing mode of the main gun is changed, and the low power suppresses the shooting."

The Machine Soul immediately responded——

【learn!Do you want to use the doomsday weapon? 】

The so-called low-power suppression shooting is to reduce the output of the main gun to the battleship level, increase the rate of fire accordingly, and supply the saved energy to other places-such as doomsday weapons.

The Tin Woodman controls the steering of the battleship, aiming the bow at the enemy ship:

"That's right, the instrument of aurora is charged."

Several antimatter balls passed the port side of the Axis. It seemed that the Radam flagship had no time to control the trajectory of the shells. On the armor of the Axis.The Axis also responded immediately, the main gun fired a series of fine particle beams, and the line of fire whipped the opponent's body like a whip of light.

[The No. [-] secondary battery is damaged! 】

"Don't worry about such small things..."

Before the sentence could be finished, a large number of red arcs suddenly appeared directly in front of the enemy ship, and a mass of red light formed in the blink of an eye directly in front of the bow.And almost at the same moment, a green light group also appeared in front of the Axis, the astonishing energy formed a terribly high-intensity binding field, and a large amount of antimatter was concentrated in front of the bow, waiting for the moment of excitation .

Except for the color, the postures of the two sides were unexpectedly the same.

[The enemy's high-energy reaction! 】

Put the enemy ship in the front sight, inject a synergist to allow your brain to process more data in a short time, and the indicator light on the data cable interface on the back instantly changed from green to red.

The Axis was shaking, aching under the interaction of the enemy ship's blow and the rushing energy in its body. Feeling the pain, the Tin Woodman let out a soft breath.The spine creaked, and the skin shriveled as if it was set on fire.

No, it was not his own pain--the Tin Woodman knew that very well.

The pilot is integrated with the battleship, and most pilots have experienced this experience when trying to operate a super flagship with one person.

The power furnace is the heart, the countless energy pipelines are the blood vessels, and the thrusters are the wings.Any action is free, just like your own body.

I heard a 'sound'... In the universe where the waves of energy are tumbling, a piercing scream is expanding right in front of me.It was the enemy's shelling, which was coming straight at him.

But she has nothing to worry about—both herself and Axis are at their best right now:

"Overloaded thermal resistance! Aurora Instrument, launch!"

[Overload dynamic heat resistance, instrument of aurora, launch! 】

The loyal and reliable machine soul recited his own words, and the raging waves of antimatter suddenly erupted on the bow of the ship. The dazzling green light formed a dazzling rainbow in the universe, brushing past the opponent's antimatter flow, and the arcs of different colors were separated by only Hundreds of meters of antimatter flows jump between each other, and the energy field interferes with each other, causing the outer particles to become unstable, and a rainbow-like light band drifts to the scattered light particles in all directions, swaying like smoke and fog, just like that of Greenland. The dazzling aurora shines over the ice field.

Then, it was all over.

The instrument of aurora tore apart half of Radam's flagship, stabbing fiercely into the depths of the universe like a spear, leaving only dazzling spots of light that gradually dissipated.And Radam's antimatter cannon also accurately hit the bow of the Axis.

The tough hull withstood the impact.The cannon beam blasted a big hole in the bow armor, splashing out a large amount of dazzling spray. The impact was stronger than expected, and even the bridge shook violently.

Feeling the pain like a red-hot nail piercing his body, the Tin Woodman let out a soft cry of pain, and the voice of Machine Soul came from his head——

[The shield collapsed!The seventh to fourteenth compartments are damaged! 】

To be honest, the damage was not serious, on the contrary it was very slight.Only eight cabins were damaged, and the cabins placed in the bow, to a large extent, exist for being damaged-this is essentially a buffer measure, a part of structural resistance, and Right now it's just the cabin damage, and the absence of any functional issues is a good indication that the design is very sensible.

"It's okay!" She gritted her teeth and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "The main gun continues to suppress the mode and wipe out the remaining enemy troops! When the power furnace recovers, we will go to support 32!"

【Yes! 】

Go back to a few minutes ago...

The bridge of Valkyrie's flagship is full of tense atmosphere——

"At three o'clock! A large number of enemy ships are approaching!"

"Expand the air barrage!"

"The third round of anti-beam mine blasts! Open the drone cabin! Release all combat drones!"

It is not surprising to be forced to evacuate the transition interference area smashed by the seal jump maneuver in a conventional way, and to be overtaken by a flexible light ship-even if the escort fleet tries its best, it is still short of manpower. Stop all the enemies, while they fight, other enemies have rushed to the flagship team behind through the unobstructed universe.

The aircraft carrier formation continued to throw anti-aircraft barrage towards the rear, but not only the chasing light fleet, but also the huge Radham flagship was also constantly firing towards this side.The bright red and dazzling anti-matter beam hit the shield fiercely. Not long after, a Niddugal-class light aircraft carrier was penetrated through the hull, and large and small explosions burst out from the surface of the hull, and then the speed of the ship slowed down. , broke away from the front.

Polina watched the ship turn into a huge wreck in the dazzling flash, her face was neither an idol nor a queen, but the fierce expression was like a gangster holding a pistol to someone else's head——

Look, the induction force field has been pressed down, you are fucking finished!

"The shield reaches the critical value!"

The hull shook slightly, even without the adjutant reminding her, she knew that the shield of the hull had collapsed:

"What about the loss?"

"The No. [-] secondary battery is seriously damaged! The No. [-] air defense array on the port side has been hit!"

"Don't let the anti-aircraft barrage be empty!" Polina tightly held the baton, and ordered loudly, "Launch arrays from one to seven, fill the floating mines! Launch immediately!"

Floating drones have a long history, and even from a certain point of view, they are the predecessor of the Gallente drone combat system.Initially, this was part of a static defense system, used to hide somewhere, and when the enemy ship flew by, it would explode and kill the target; but now the model equipped by Valkyrie is modified from a fixed air mine Come, a light version that can be dropped by a battleship.

They are lighter than fixed air mines, and their power and range are smaller, but that is only relatively speaking. If a cruiser takes a shot at close range, it will also be easily broken by one shot.

The fire controller nervously reminded:

"Using mines at this distance, we will also..."

"You have to trust the armor of Hades." The damage to the air defense system on the port side made the barrage much thinner than before. The enemy did not miss this opportunity and attacked the port side in groups.Seeing this scene, Polina urged, "Do as I say!"

"Yes!"

The fire controller no longer insisted. Following a series of instructions, several cylindrical objects with a diameter of about five meters were thrown out from the launch channel on the port side. They were much slower than the missiles. Of course, such a speed did not cause Lada Tom's alertness.They avoided these inconspicuous little things, and shot the armor on the port side of the Hades class with antimatter cannons, causing greater damage, but in the next moment, these daring guys were all involved in the plasma vortex, There were no remains of the bones burned in the high temperature.

The turbulent flow of plasma gently brushed against the armor of Hades, and under the full power of the cooling system, it did not cause any major damage. It just burned the armor on the surface, leaving dark burn marks—but it doesn’t matter, This mark is mixed in the painting of Hades, and you can't see it unless you look carefully.

Seeing that the crisis on the port side was temporarily lifted, Polina breathed a sigh of relief. She paused for a while and asked, "Is it possible to repair the damaged air defense system?"

"It's all broken, it's impossible."

"Tsk..."

If part of the anti-aircraft firepower is missing, the emergence of a defensive vacuum is inevitable.If in normal times, this kind of vacuum area can be maintained by carrier-based aircraft, but now that most of the carrier-based aircraft has been lost——Radham’s flagship is really good at air defense—then the firepower vacuum area is really only Can leave it empty.

It's a dangerous hazard...but maybe not that dangerous?

She rubbed her chin and thought—the boss' fleet is about to enter the arena, which means that she only needs to hold on until Tiamat arrives, and this is not a particularly difficult problem.

This optimistic thought was maintained until the radar officer almost screamed and said the next sentence——

"A high-energy reaction is detected, the big guy is about to fire!"

"avoid!!"

Without too much time to react, Radam's flagship gathered unprecedentedly powerful energy and fired an astonishing antimatter cannon. The red beam of light grazed the port side of Hades, and the powerful heat not only The remaining several air defense arrays were destroyed, and a large hole hundreds of meters long was dug out in the sloping armor reminiscent of a roof.

The scorching metal fragments were blown away by the gas inside which expanded with alarming momentum, and the terrifying vibration swept the entire hull. The situation inside the ship can be said to be appalling.All the officers on the bridge who were not holding on firmly fell heavily to the ground, and were more or less injured.Polina had no time to deal with her bruised elbow, and shouted over the din of sirens:

"Report damage!!"

"Shot on the port side! The air defense array is completely wiped out! The area from 93 to [-] is depressurized!"

"The No. [-] hangar is damaged! We lost the remaining fourteen carrier-based aircraft!"

Polina reached out her hand to touch her temple, only to find it was sticky and slippery. She saw that her hand was covered with blood, and it seemed that she had hit her head just now.Enduring the pain, she called up the ship's information map, and the cabins on the outside of the front port side were almost all faulty red.

The only thing that can inflict such damage to a super flagship in an instant is the doomsday weapon.Thinking about it the other way around, after being hit by the doomsday weapon, the Hades class, which is not good at defense, was only damaged to this degree, which made me feel lucky.
