“The space ahead reacts, the space bubble is neutralized! The antimatter ignition is ignited! Torpedo No. 1 self-destructs!
“Torpedo No. 2 self-destructs!”
“No. 3, missed the target!”
“No. 4... has been confirmed to have been destroyed!”
The reconnaissance technical officer's report echoed in the Empire's bridge, and their voices seemed to be filled with a trace of unbelievable fear. Slowly, fear condensed into panic, and slowly formed in the Empire's bridge.
It created an atmosphere that was too heavy and depressing.
This is not their fault. Normal people will definitely react this way when they encounter a situation beyond their imagination.
However, not to mention the Bakvi people who turned into stupid birds one by one, the imperial officers on the ship were all elites, and they quickly gave their evaluation: "...then, that is a space shock bomb.
!”
“This makes no sense! How could it be a concussion bomb!” The gunnery officer at the front of the bridge tapped the keyboard and roared in frustration.
The technical content of the space shock bomb is certainly not low, but after all, it is just an ordinary weapon for the public. But now it has directly neutralized the most powerful effect of the space torpedo, making the long-awaited killer weapon become
invisible.
Normal people find it too difficult to accept.
Even Marquis Oregal took a total of three seconds to accept this fact. After he let out a long, turbid breath, a smile of appreciation appeared on his twitching cheeks:
"...Haha, what a headache! I can't believe that people on earth would actually think of using this method to create a space-shock isolation belt for defense! The Engineering Academy burned at least billions of golden dragons every year before they finally developed it.
Weapon. A weapon that costs at least 5 million gold dragons, can it be blocked by a space shock bomb that costs at most 10,000?"
He seemed to see a senior astral knight captain, who had gone through all kinds of hardships and suffered many hardships, and had repeatedly made military exploits in a life of nearly death, and finally had the atomic spear made by the royal master himself, and was recognized by His Majesty the Emperor.
I learned the invincible Instant Slash of Ten Thousand Dragons from Tongheyuan.
The Astral Knight Commander was very proud and wanted to establish a glorious career again. However, in the first battle that followed, he was killed with a blade by a dead man who had practiced dagger skills for half an hour.
It is true that the Star Knight Commander has become a joke, but aren’t they those who “cheer and cheer”? Isn’t it the entire empire?
When thinking of this, First Officer Rhea and the surrounding imperial officials felt depressed and speechless. The Bakvi people who were more emotional even wanted to cry.
...Of course, they didn't really cry. If they did, they would be so angry that the Empire's father would ask him to make roasted chicken wings on the spot. All of these business-savvy birds have taken emotional intelligence classes, so they should be
I think this feeling of wanting to cry but not being able to cry is the most appropriate.
Just when the sad and depressing atmosphere was about to turn into an avalanche, Marquis Odegaard spoke again.
"However, this is not a problem with weapons... The space shock bomb actually uses the principle of antimatter, and it will indeed cause space vibrations, but this kind of vibration is uncontrollable. But our space bubble generator is controllable.
It is possible to adjust the dimensional frequency band of the space bubble. Therefore, in theory, if more subtle and reliable adjustments are made, the shock bomb should be able to be avoided." At this point, the Marquis sighed: "It's just that, I
I really didn’t expect that the people on earth would think of such a method, even if they got the information from that stupid mantis Kolmo in advance, such a fantastic idea is worthy of admiration, and it will definitely become my lifelong enemy!”
The officers were slightly startled. Although they did not understand what they heard, they also realized that His Excellency the Marquis was telling them that it was not a problem with the design of the weapons or a lack of effort on their part, but that there are some experts on earth who are... experts?
This explanation is indeed very reasonable! At least it proves that everyone is not incompetent and the empire is not a fool. Everyone's mood immediately recovered a lot.
The first mate from Wolfgang was also listening in awe. He thought that the Marquis was indeed an elite astral knight with both civil and military skills. He even knew so much about weapons technology. It was right for the old people to invite him to inherit the family business. Only
However, is there something wrong in doing science popularization at this time?
“Your Excellency, we should now...”
Marquis Odegaard ordered expressionlessly: "Ignite the main engine and enter the second assault speed!"
“Understood! Main engine, ignite! Enter second assault speed!” The Wolfgang man quickly repeated the Margrave’s order loudly.
Immediately afterwards, the Marquis' subsequent order made him hesitate for a moment.
“Let Lenon’s fighter squadron take off! Be prepared to break out and escort!”
"Your Excellency..." The Wolfgang first officer wanted to ask what "breakout escort" meant. He was about to speak, but saw the Marquis tilting his head slightly and looking directly into his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a blade.
The first officer had no choice but to quickly convey the order. But after that, he lowered his voice and expressed his opinion: "Your Excellency, we still have four space torpedoes! It's okay..."
“The previous four were useless, but now the four are useful? Don’t forget, there is another enemy squadron behind us.”
The first mate had nothing to say.
"My original plan was to let this small fleet of Earthlings die here, and at the same time tear up the singing boy and throw them into the antimatter fuel depot, but now it's impossible... I'd better give it to myself
Save some dignity. After all, I am an Imperial Knight. Now that I have discovered the technical problems of the space torpedo, I must immediately pass this information to the country."
The deputy of the Volfgang People's Congress knew that everyone had mocked this portion, but you could not revenge in person. In any case, as a glorious empire holding a sword aristocracy, he could not be decent.
When I think of this, this rough and sturdy warrior, who looks like a giant wolf walking upright, wants to cry even more than the group of bumbling Bakvi birdmen.
“How is the communication situation with the seismic wave? Is it possible to connect to the mainland?” the Marquis asked.
"The interference is a bit serious, trying to connect..." the communications officer replied loudly, but felt helpless.
This is a binary brown dwarf galaxy, and in the middle of a battle, the interference will of course be serious! Moreover, this is the Far Coast Nebula, which is right on the edge of the empire's galaxy-level source mass wave center!
Fortunately, Marquis Odegaard is not that kind of very harsh boss, but instead asked in a different way: "...is it possible to connect to Kerna City?"
“…Xiaguan, please continue to connect.”
"Your Excellency..." the Wolfgang man advised in a low voice.
"I understand. However, the damage to the hull is not light now. It is too risky to try to return across the far shore nebula. We must first go to Kerna City for repairs and supplies." The Marquis said.
The first mate also sighed and had to admit again that what the Marquis said was always very reasonable.
“The energy center allocation has been changed, 50% is used for the ship’s shield!”
"Energy center rationing, fifty percent should be used for the ship's shield, increase power!" the first mate repeated the master's order. His voice was louder and more sinister, but if he listened carefully, there seemed to be a little bit of sadness and indignation.
Marquis Odegaard's judgment was correct and timely. Just when the shield had just finished powering up, several cannonballs from the zenith had already hit it.
Just now, when the concussion bombs and space torpedoes formed a space entanglement, the Earth Fleet did not wait and did nothing. It reorganized into a bombardment formation, crawled downwards into the space domain above, and finally crossed the barrier formed by the ice crystal meteorite.
.They were condescending and poured down all the artillery fire they could.
At this time, how could the people on earth still let the other party leave?
In just one minute, No. 24 was directly illuminated by more than ten rail artillery shells and seven or eight ion beams and positron torrents.
But even after she suffered so many saturation attacks, her shield was about to reach its limit. The armor on the left side was pulled out of the scar, but it was very shallow. A secondary battery turret on the front deck was chipped away and died in the battle.
It is estimated that it will not reach double digits.
However, counterattacks from the other side also followed one after another. Under a burst of artillery fire, both the Corsica and the Luoyang were defeated.
Obviously they had the upper hand, but in this round of artillery battle, the two sides could only be considered a draw.
“What a damn sunspot, the Empire’s ship is really tough!” Lieutenant Colonel Lapon swore.
Of course, in addition to the two cruisers, the destroyer group also launched a considerable number of proton torpedoes from a greater distance. However, the person at the helm opposite was obviously an experienced and skilled driver, and it was not easy to drive such a giant ship.
It was quite nimble, turning left and right in the chaotic asteroid belt. Although it still inevitably had some collisions with the big icebergs, it actually managed to avoid those torpedoes with a relatively slow firing speed.
“Dear boy, the imperial devils can really drive!” Lieutenant Colonel Kong Qingyu couldn’t help but show admiration.
The only thing an experienced driver can admire is another experienced driver whose driving skills are much better than his own.
“This also shows that the maneuverability of this ship is very good! If it is a county-class heavy cruiser currently in service in our country, even if it is controlled by Mihir or Masaki himself, it is impossible for it to make such beautiful battleship movements." Akinayama Hachiman said.
"Okay, what a good ship, I want it!" Eleanor's eyes were shining with desire. This look was so aggressive that other ordinary girls would probably also feel the same when they saw a set of Van Mieler jewelry.
That's all.
I really want it! Yu Lian thought. You know, the Clear Sky class is also a divine ship that has been in service for fifty years! It’s not that the empire has no money to replace it with a new one, but it’s just that it’s too perfect. However, it’s
We can't force the Imperial people on the ship to fight, they still have to do it! Yu Lian knew that his eyes might be glowing, but he still tried his best to calm down. While dodging the opponent's counterattack with all his concentration, he began to think of ways to break the situation.
method.
Well, if I remember correctly, the original design of the Clear Sky class was not completely without loopholes. No, in other words, this imperial warship is indeed perfect in terms of protection, but there are no protection measures for some special equipment.
It was done very well. However, this cannot be blamed on the designers of the Empire. All battleship designs in the galaxy have defects in this aspect, and it was not until thirty years later that there was a qualitative change.
Yu Lian simulated a Clear Sky-class battleship model in his mind and began to make calculations.
As for the other people on the bridge, they were full of admiration for the battleship and the Imperial crew inside, but they were even more determined to keep them here.
So, another impatient destroyer captain proposed the tactic of getting close to the lightning strike.
This is not surprising. You must know that so far, the greatest damage caused to an enemy ship was the close lightning strike of Centurion 927 "before his death". It is understandable that some brave warriors would propose this tactic.
Eleanor bit her lip, played with her braid, and then quickly rejected the proposal.
"Of course I want to keep the enemy here completely, but it is obvious that the enemy ship has used most of the energy supply on shields and close defense! And in such an environment, it is not that easy for the destroyer to get close.
, it’s too easy for enemy ships to seize the opportunity to intercept! I don’t think that the majestic Imperial Navy will fall into the same pit twice.”
In fact, if the ordinary crew members in the ship are also well-trained Imperial Navy soldiers, it will be difficult to fall into the pit even for the first time.
“…But, sir, there is a possibility of success!” the destroyer captain added.
"The possibility of success is completely out of proportion to the casualties that will occur!" Eleanor rejected the opponent with a firm attitude: "There is no need to show such determination to fight! It's just a small scene of an enemy ship, I
Eleanor Bonaparte, you have not fallen so low that you should become a death squad!"
