In the void, a heavily armed asteroid fragment was floating quietly. Far away from it, there was a ship with obvious characteristics of the human empire, but if you look closely, it was very different.
The most unique thing is that it does not have the crowded artillery deck of the imperial ship, and the entire hull looks a bit "empty".
However, as one command after another was activated, the movable armor plates on the front of the battleship's spine were unfolded and fixed.
Inside the ship, all personnel were at their posts and ready, the servo skulls were busily shuttled in the air, the mechanical priests were constantly monitoring, transmitting and adjusting massive amounts of data, and everyone was holding their breath and concentrating.
At the same time, the asteroid fragments began to wake up, and all the jamming devices deployed on it were activated. Hundreds of live ammunition and laser anti-aircraft weapons were put on alert, and a large amount of metal fragments were also released.
On the ship's detection equipment, it can be seen that there are interference clutter everywhere near the asteroid fragments, as well as various small obstacles, as if it is a battlefield full of debris.
But this does not prevent them from using the omnidirectional fire control system on the ship that was specially improved by Forge World to lock the target's position and even determine every point to attack.
After everything was ready, a low response began to sound on the bridge, as well as flashing warning lights, which was the signal for attack.
"emission!"
The next second, a torrent of plasma flames reflected on the outer shell of the ship. Silver-gray missiles with a triangular front half and a cylindrical rear half were ejected from the open launch port, like 72 missiles.
Sharp daggers are thrown at the target.
Their speed was so fast that they quickly traveled thousands of kilometers under the violent combustion of their plasma engines.
When these missile clusters approached a certain distance, the originally dead asteroid fragments suddenly boiled into flames, and the intensive interception firepower composed of lasers and bullets created a gorgeous scene in the void.
Those missiles shuttled through the dazzling dense barrage, and several of them were broken into pieces in the blink of an eye.
Through the surrounding detectors, it can be clearly seen that the missiles have begun tactical maneuvers and are rapidly approaching their respective budget attack points from four directions. It is at this time that the cylindrical engines behind them explode with explosive force after the last injection.
Their posture was completely separated, leaving only the triangular front half. At this time, their speed reached an incredible level, and the four small vector engines began to make final adjustments.
At this distance, the defensive firepower became even more intensive. The lasers continuously burned a terrifying scar on the projectile body, and then the flames instantly engulfed it.
But nothing seems to be able to stop these daggers from hitting their targets.
The 72 daggers finally turned into 47 curved streams of fire that rushed towards the dense barrage at a final speed of Mach 60.
The next second, the optical network disappeared, and the electromagnetic interference that had not stopped since the launch phase finally receded.
Looking from a distance, you can see incandescent bright spots appearing on the surface of the asteroid fragments, and the huge explosion pressure is presented in a slow-motion manner.
Just now, it was just a fragment the size of a battleship.
But now, the huge energy generated turns it into a small sun in just an instant.
This huge mass of plasma rapidly expanded outward like a thunderstorm cloud, sweeping away all the observation equipment deployed around it. Even the bridge of the ship launching the missile was illuminated with a silver light, and then the plasma was as full as soap.
exploded one after another, leaving only a spreading scar in the void.
Bang bang bang——
On the bridge of the battleship at the other end of the void, Soshyan clapped gently, and the surrounding White Temple Captains in white armor immediately followed suit.
Soon, there was a burst of applause on the bridge, and it stopped after almost ten seconds.
"Director Bangura, it seems that the short man's plasma missile technology has been thoroughly understood by you? Your efforts are worthy of this applause."
Hearing what Soshyan said, Bangura smiled and waved his hand to summon a servo skull holding a screen, which showed the structural cross-section of the missile.
"The legion commander has oversold me. The short people's technology in plasma is indeed very powerful, and it is not easy for us to understand it in a short time. However, the prototype ideas they provide are very good. I am not sure whether it is Reza's cleverness or what.
I modified the parameters of the missile and the number of engines, but the result was that the speed became slower... We used the original model provided by Duanren, and made some targeted modifications, using a black iron core in the guidance. This comparison
Wetware needs to be more flexible and smaller, so the breakthrough rate will naturally become higher."
"I have seen the power of the Viper guided missile destroyer. It is quite impressive. The short burst of firepower is comparable to some heavy cruisers... The manufacturing cost and cycle of the ship are relatively short. The only problem is the output of missiles."
"We are now working hard to expand the missile production line, but because there are too many precision parts, and the equipment required for high-pressure plasma is still under construction... But this problem will be solved soon."
"Then let's set a production plan for 12 ships first. Only when the number of these ships is large can they be effective. Build a squadron first, and then expand production while improving them in actual combat."
They are in a Dictator-class heavy cruiser, which is also the battleship that Ulan Huda will deliver to the Astral Knights Chapter. However, when Soshyan came last time, some interior parts were not completed, including two
The same goes for a Moon-class cruiser. By the time he returned from the Royal Court, all three battleships were completely ready for delivery. (It is mentioned in Chapter 2328, readers who have forgotten can read it)
Soshyan then named the Dictator-class Spinel, and the two Moon-class ships Topaz and Moonstone respectively. This is also the special naming method for the warships produced by Ulan Huda for the Chapter in the future -
—All named after gemstones.
After witnessing the success of the Furnace Plasma Missile, Soshyan waited for another week and watched two White Templar exercises. It was not because he had nothing to do, but because he was waiting for a force from Nessen.
The fleet from the system arrives.
A week later, the fleet arrived at the Bracato system. There were three Galaxy-class transport ships, one Goliath-class factory ship, and a dozen frigates and destroyers. Three of the Galaxy-class transport ships carried nearly five people.
One hundred thousand troops and all their weapons and equipment.
Soshiyang knew that his "run-in" with the White Temple was not enough. He needed to truly lead the soldiers to fight. At the same time, the auxiliary troops that the legion had "tempered" for a long time also had to be used for training. In fact
After seeing the armed forces of Ada and the Tau, Soshiyang had some new ideas about the planning and construction of military forces, but he knew that it was useless to just think about it. After all, he personally commanded Ada, and he, the Tau,
I fought it myself, and my views on these two companies are all based on "fighting". The experiences and results of other races may not be applicable to humans. The best way is to find our own localized and characteristic routes through actual combat.
