Sentinel 5, the "immune cells" broke through the not-so-strong armor on the outer layer of the hull. These ugly and ferocious monsters got into the hull and detonated the ammunition depot.
Ship No. 7 was destroyed by the concentrated fire of nearly a hundred monsters. Their continuous bombardments fired from a long distance almost all hit the transverse line, cutting off the entire battleship.
The most unlucky one was Ship No. 12. It was not lost to the enemy, but the continuous bombardment caused irreversible damage to the hull structure. The misplaced energy pipeline caused the failure of the condensation system and simulated gravity system, and then developed into a capacitor martyrdom.
The explosion broke the main shaft of the hull keel on the spot. After struggling for a few minutes, the battleship was unable to recover, and immediately fell silent, becoming nothing more than space junk suspended in place.
What's even more unfortunate is that their enemies are not other countries' fighter planes, but a group of giant cells that act on instinct.
If you are fighting with other countries, according to some basic conventions of the Galactic Civilization Council, even if the battleship is turned into irrescuable space debris, at least the surviving crew members on it will still have a chance to be rescued. During the battle, the enemy combat units
They rarely take action against the rescue department. Even pirates who do not practice martial ethics will follow this tradition in many cases.
This is to be convenient for others and convenient for yourself.
However, cells do not need to consider morality and worldliness. They do not even have the function of "thinking".
These things that looked like strange-looking evil demons just used a cold and efficient method to tear open the armor of the silent ship and slaughter the surviving crew members inside without restraint. Until their actions
time's up.
It was only confirmed later that none of the more than 2,000 crew members on the three arsenal ships survived.
They were not the first battleships in the combined fleet to be sunk. As early as more than an hour ago, the escort fleet responsible for intercepting the rear had lost nearly half of its ships. Even the New Shenzhou Honest Man, which was the core of the defense, had lost nearly half of its ships.
They were all seriously injured, and the captain, Colonel Bai Kelu, also died in the battle.
If those "cells" hadn't lasted only three to ten minutes, they would have been wiped out long ago.
If it were really a war between people, they would have lost their fighting capacity. However, their opponents were a group of monsters. These descendants of the pioneers of New China, looking at the remains of their commanders and colleagues, felt...
He was aroused to his bloody nature.
They left the damaged ships on standby to rescue their trapped comrades, and then reassembled the weapons, ammunition and intact components to create three semi-complete light cruisers. They gritted their teeth and came from behind.
Came over.
They don't know if they can make it to the battlefield, but what if they do? What if they can really come in handy?
On the other side, the loss of the arsenal fleet did not expand. The flagship Xiaguang also rushed over with the cruisers.
This was a decision that General Bazin made decisively just now. He had realized that compared to these old arsenal ships, the fast fleet he was under direct command posed a limited threat to the target.
In this case, why not act as a bodyguard? Who said that advanced high-speed battleships can't serve as bodyguards for old arsenal ships?
This group of new troops rushed directly to the battlefield in an almost brutal way, even using the hull to block the monsters' charge. For a time, countless dense fire nets emerged from the trembling gaps in the force field shield, and they were submerged into the enemy.
among the group.
The remaining old "sentinels" finally had a chance to breathe and continued shooting.
By the time everyone had crossed the orbit of the third planet, the Star Planter's energy barrier had successfully been reduced to 67%, which was already a very subtle figure.
However, so far, three arsenal ships, two light cruisers and five destroyers of the Community's battleships have been completely destroyed. Almost all the remaining battleships have been injured.
In addition, there are three arsenal ships and one cruiser that have completely lost their combat capabilities, but they can still move for the time being. They can only drag their scarred bodies and stagger away to the outside of the battlefield.
This is just the "passive" damage caused by the immune cells of the Star Planter.
However, this time, there was a strange exchange of luck and misfortune. The "immune cells" were not too interested in this kind of target that automatically escaped from their own warning range, and did not take the initiative to pursue it.
You must know that if the opponent is an enemy fleet, such a large warship that has been seriously injured and escaped will definitely be the hunting target of the small and fast fighter planes.
As a replica of the Weathership, the Xiaguang is claimed to be the most perfect heavy cruiser in the history of the galaxy. Although it has been running at the core of the battlefield, it is also the least injured. But even so, a few "immune cells" actually hit the bridge.
It almost broke through the blackout armor outside the porthole and shocked all the senior officers on the bridge into a cold sweat.
"...A juvenile body that acts based on instinct!" Brigadier General Bazin sighed.
Of course Deng Zhengqing understood what the other party meant: if this thing was still an adult, if it not only relied on instinct but knew how to fight back, the entire army would have been wiped out a few hours earlier, without even the possibility of escape.
"It is precisely because he is a juvenile that we took this action." Deng Zhengqing said.
At this time, an officer was heard exclaiming almost as if he was participating: "The second wave of enemies is approaching!"
Yes, these "immune cells" will not be able to move away from the body for more than ten minutes, but they will appear continuously.
Deng Zhengqing took a deep breath, nodded to General Bazin, and got off the command platform. At this time, he had already put on power armor. He was a member of the staff, but he was also the security owner of the battleship. He really wanted to be beaten by those
When monsters join a gang, they are obliged to lead stormtroopers to drive out the enemies.
In addition, most members on the bridge, including the elderly General Bazin, also wore the most basic space life-support suits.
Since the commanders are mentally prepared for the enemy to breach the bridge, you can imagine what the battle will be like.
At this time, Colonel Ducasse also sent a communication, indicating that his ammunition had arrived. This time, these old sentries could really declare that they had done everything they could.
"Of course, if it doesn't work out, we can still hit it with a boat." Colonel Ducasse said.
For some reason, Deng Zhengqing suddenly felt that this idea might be somewhat feasible.
"Shut up, you old guys with old arms and legs can't even run, and there's no ammunition left on the ship. If you want to collide, we'll have to do it," General Bazin said.
So, he waved his hand and asked Dukas to quickly withdraw from the battlefield with the scarred arsenal ships.
After today's battle, one senior officer of the New China Guard Fleet has died, and Commodore Bazin really does not want another one to die.
Just as the communication ended, he heard Deng Zhengqing next to him say to himself: "All battleships are at their limit. When the ammunition is exhausted, if the energy barrier of the Star Planter has not dropped below the safe value, we will need to step forward.
The Xiaguang is the only battleship that still has room to spare."
"...You're not really going to let me run into you, are you?"
"Even if it really hits, it won't have much effect. Unless it's a battle cruiser filled with high-explosive fuel." Deng Zhengqing quickly shook his head.
It means that if there is a battle cruiser, you will hit it, right?
Brigadier General Bazin looked at his young assistant as if he was meeting him for the first time. He always felt that this child was more stable than his peers, but it was still quite abnormal to go crazy.
Deng Zhengqing then said: "We also carry two anti-matter mines on board. The current strong magnetic field phenomenon cannot guarantee the automatic mines, but we can also try to get close to them and attack the energy nodes by bombing.
.”
"... Are we using our Xiaguang as an orbital bomber? Oh no, are we using it as the New Shenzhou 2?"
"It's not that serious. Theirs is close to the face. In our case, it can only be called close range at best." Deng Zhengqing said: "The real killing effect depends on them."
"I just hope that they have arrived where they should be." Brigadier General Bazin said.
Of course, these two people didn't know that thanks to a certain ancient robot lady who was not well-known to outsiders, the messages received by New Shenzhou 2 were also instantaneous. In fact, before they could send the message back, the light-wing ship had already
It expanded its wingspan again, and with the increasingly intense magnetic field interference and space radiation, it gracefully swooped towards the orbit of the second planet in the Tianshu galaxy, just like a petrel flying lightly in a storm.
There they prepare to meet the space Leviathan.
"At least we have to make sure that Leviathan's energy barrier drops below 60% before we can complete the breakthrough. Is that what you mean?" Captain Anne Romanova put her hand on the steering wheel and asked.
"Yes." Xiaobai nodded: "This is the result of everyone's calculation."
This is really the result of everyone's calculations. Miss Gray only provided the strength data of the force field barrier. So everyone calculated together for several days, and finally came to the current conclusion.
Of course, Miss Gray neither agreed nor objected to this result.
Since there is no objection, then go ahead! Professor Zinov said.
"However, we must ensure that No. 2 has a relative speed of 50,000 kilometers per second when it breaks through the barrier... and we must also see the disintegration collision angle of the bow open."
"Isn't that thing used to smash armor?"
"I have adjusted it...well, under the guidance of a master, I changed it to energy disintegration." Eisen scratched his head in embarrassment and said seriously: "No matter what, the limit of New Shenzhou 2 can reach Asia."
We can break through at the speed of light."
"But after the breakthrough, the ship must slow down within two seconds and keep flying parallel to the Star Planter." William Banner said.
Eisen was silent for two seconds, nodded extremely hard and said solemnly: "New Shenzhou 2 can do it!"
"I can do it too." Captain Anne Romanova added by the way, swinging the steering wheel leisurely.
"Don't worry, I will take action even if I can't do it." Miss Tai'a continued to meditate and concentrate. She didn't even bother to open her eyes this time.
So how should you act? Everyone is obviously very curious about this.
However, as Captain Anne started to accelerate again, everyone quickly returned to their positions. They had all put on their space power suits, and even set up locks and suction cups. Looking at Miss Taia,
Having already finished meditating, he opened the hidden hatch inside the door and pulled out a set of... heraldic machines!
"Heraldry machine?" Xiao Bai's eyes lit up, his face full of envy but he neither dared to be jealous nor hate: "I have never seen this model."
"The second-generation product used by the Azure Guard is said to be inspired by the Empire's Crimson Machine. Of course, the main designer is Uncle Ge."
Uncle Ge is Sonny Grant, the number one alchemist among the "Seven Sons of Lingyan".
"Through my connections with the division, I accepted a job from the Blue Guard to test a new heraldic machine."
Tai'a put on the heraldry machine and took out a giant three-meter-long horse-killing sword from his back. He briefly tested the weight and put it back on the fastener on his back.
Everyone on the boat couldn't help but become more curious about the "action".
She immediately realized that the expressions of all her friends looking at her were indeed a bit subtle, so she smiled and said: "Don't worry, after wearing the armor, not only will I take action, but I will also protect everyone."
I always feel that this sounds a bit unlucky, but everyone doesn't have much time to think about this issue. At this moment, the light wing ship of New Shenzhou 2 has entered a high-speed cruising state, and the ship spent another fifteen
Minutes later, they arrived at the orbit of the second planet. At this moment, at a distance of 16 million kilometers away from them, there was a planet that was completely red. Its texture was like a huge ruby, crystal clear.
, fragile yet coquettish, flowing with a thrilling and gorgeous color under the close illumination of Tianshu Star.
"I have never seen a planet so beautiful, so strange," said William Banner.
In fact, no one present has ever seen it, not even Xiaobai and Tai'a, two locals of New China. Even the scientific expedition team has never let an unmanned detector go so deep.
"If it were Uncle Ai, he would definitely like this." Tai'a said.
Uncle Ai is naturally the top thug among the "Seven Sons of Lingyan", Ms. Natalia Elenko.
Her biggest dream is to use glass as big as a millstone to grow jade or diamonds to press pickled vegetables. Then, she would also like to use rubies as big as the planet?
This short interlude ended quickly. Soon, everyone witnessed with their own eyes that the giant beast that looked like a giant jellyfish, but was full of divine majesty, had bloomed in everyone's eyes.
An orange-red glow.
That halo is indeed so gorgeous and holy. However, in the eyes of everyone on the New Shenzhou 2 ship, the truly majestic halo comes from the Xiaguang ship that has been following the Star Planter.
In front of that huge and majestic body, the Xiaguang was as thin as a leaf next to the giant whale... No, it was clearly like a paramecium. As long as there was a little bit of trouble, the tentacles made of those strong lights would be
Tear apart. However, they still forced themselves to a very close distance and dropped a powerful anti-matter bomb.
That moment of white light, in front of the bright orange-red halo of the Star Planter, seemed to disappear in just an instant. However, everyone on New Shenzhou 2 seemed to feel the moment when different fireworks came into view.
.
"Eisen!" Captain Anne shouted loudly to the technical geeks on the ship.
"The shield power has dropped to 57%... Wow, wow!"
"New Shenzhou 2, Advance 4!"
Before Eisen finished speaking, Miss Romanova had already pushed the steering wheel to the point where she could no longer push it. At that moment, all the light outside the portholes had become blurry. Even the gravity system on the ship was blurred.
It was simulated, and the crew members all felt that they were firmly pressed into their seats by inertia, and they were almost so squeezed that they even vomited out last night's extra meal.
