Earth Invasion

Chapter 178 The Fourth Planet Encounter

The happy days pass quickly, and the days of being practiced pass quickly.Because the sugar in your body is not replenished to the brain at all, it has been used up in your muscles.In a state of ignorance, the days passed quickly.

Zhang Maijue's past two months have been super fulfilling. His appetite has increased a lot, and his muscles have also bulged, and his whole body is darkened.He was now able to keep up with the great Assyrian force.In addition, although he can't climb the tree in a few steps like the Assyrians seem to know how to do it lightly, it's easier to climb up.

On the contrary, those Assyrian guerrillas trained by cook Ai Cixiu did not have such good luck.It takes less than two months to master the basic maintenance knowledge of exoskeleton and PA, and also to carry out the work on the map, learn the principles of various equipment and the theory of imaging feature judgment, and at the same time, use PA and The cooks spar.

It's been almost two months of hell.In this kind of ultra-high-intensity study, they have basically become a qualified fighter.In the case of being blindfolded, the electromagnetic gun, the armor plate of the PA, the metal hydrogen battery and the gas turbine module can be disassembled by the memory of both hands, and the PA that is only a skeleton can be assembled within half an hour. Put on the electromagnetic muscle, install the armor plate, equip the power module and enter the battle.

According to Ai Cixiu, they finally barely passed.

In less than two months, in the space of the Assyrian galaxy, the war between NATO and the space circle has finally begun to become serious.

Two weeks after NATO began the hunt, the Space Circle's patrol squadron also arrived on the gravel track of Ferjou, and the two sides began a long game of hide-and-seek.The environment here is so harsh that neither the long-wave radar nor the superconducting magnetic quantum interference measurement system of the two sides can guarantee to find each other at a relatively long distance.In addition to thermal imaging and ultraviolet imaging systems, the two sides can only use the wide-area radiation of heavy particle cannons to search for each other's traces.For a while, Feiru’s gravel track seemed to have become the vast North Sea during the Cold War. Submarines of the Soviet Red Navy and NATO nuclear submarines used sonar to search, track, and expel each other under the ice.

Of course, this kind of chase in space is more deadly and tragic than the chase in the depths of the ocean back then.At least at that time, both sides were afraid of each other's nuclear weapons, and they were unwilling to die with each other. Although they chased each other and collided from time to time, neither of them dared to shoot a torpedo.

And on Feiru's gravel belt, both sides tried their best to kill each other!
Finally, on April 2423, 4 in the Earth's calendar, the two sides had a fierce, squadron-scale encounter on the fourth planet in the Assyrian galaxy - the huge gravel belt of the planet Feru!

At that time, both sides were located at 127 degrees on the equator plane of Ferou.In a belt that is more than 3000 kilometers wide and can almost make the earth roll on it, it is encountered within an angle of one degree.

The specific coordinates of the two sides are that the fleet in the space circle is located at 127 degrees 03 minutes from the outer circle, while the NATO warship is located at 127 degrees 82 minutes from the inner circle. , the axial intersection angle of the two sides is 73 degrees, and the NATO squadron is performing an axis steering with the normal direction unchanged.If it wasn't for the NATO fleet commander who somehow made such a turn, the wide-area emission of heavy particles in the space circle would have taken the lead in finding them and launching a strike.

Being bitten at 6 o'clock in space combat is as dangerous as being harnessed to a gun hotline in air combat.

Feiru's mass is huge, and its gravitational force is also very strong. The speed on the ring belt without losing height is almost 8 kilometers per second. In order to be able to shuttle flexibly in this gravel ring belt, all Spaceships must make their motion normals coincide with the rotation direction of the planet.Because if you don't, you will face huge rocks and ice flying over 9 kilometers per second.

At 3:[-] p.m. Earth time, the space circle and the Alpamayo-class cruiser of NATO emitted heavy particle wide-area radiation almost simultaneously, and then discovered the ion wake of the other party almost simultaneously!

The navigation officers of both sides recorded the incident at the same time!

Before describing this battle, it is necessary for us to understand the situation of the contestants on both sides.

On the NATO side, the Alpamayo-class cruiser "Reckless", the Assault-class destroyers "Michigan", "Boxer", four Saxon-class frigates "Bunker Hill", "Ruby", "Little Bear", "Jin Kaili".Among them, the Assaulter class is a type of main destroyer built after the two sides split.The four Saxon-class ships have also been modernized and extended.The commander in command of this attacking fleet was an American rear admiral named Berrant, Ratcliffe.Graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, he grew up from an ordinary space navy sailor to a squadron commander. The characteristics of various ships are so rare that they belong to the standard, pendulum-like accurate commander.

As for the space circle, there are also the Alpamayo-class cruiser "Cartesian", the cutting-edge Wagner-class destroyer "Beowulf", "Suet Ball" and "Swan Lake".In addition, although there is one more destroyer in the space circle than NATO, they only have two Saxon-class frigates, namely "FF51" and "FF47".The commander of this squadron is also a major general in the space circle. His name is Utred Nakajima. He is of Japanese descent. Japanese who can't even write.He was a base member when the space circle was independent, and then he got on the spaceship, and gradually became a captain of the Space Force until the fleet commander.

In NATO, spaceships belong to the Navy, and D. S. A is the Space Force.The SCO Solar System Navigating Fleet is a joint defense system, and its main force, the Chinese Fleet, belongs to the Space Army. This is also the difference between the three parties.

On the scale of the two squadrons, this intense space station might not seem like much to write home about, but the location of the encounter puts this squadron-scale battle in the history books.Because, this is the first time that humans have fought in space on a dense gravel belt!
A major feature of this dense gravel belt of space warfare is the dense, floating silicate, carbonate and metal rocks, as well as ice.These sundries not only make observation difficult due to the heat, but what is even more troublesome is that they block the ray axis of the battleship's main gun!

The destructive power of the five-packed heavy particle cannon of the Alpamayu class is amazing when it shoots continuously.But the debris in space makes these terrible weapons a big discount.Not only plasma cannons and charged particle cannons, even laser cannons that can penetrate the deflection electric field and force the opponent to resist with laminated armor and cooling layers have been greatly affected.In other words, the impact is even greater, because there are a lot of ice in this ring, and those large ice cubes are good heat absorbers, and the smooth surface will deflect the laser light. If the tone is bad, the optical path may directly drop. size!

Although heavy particle cannons are powerful, cruisers are not star destroyers. Their heavy particle cannons can only work in pulses, and it is impossible to continue bombarding them.

It's almost a pure space battle with single-seater battleships and UFPs!
After the two sides discovered each other, the first action taken by the two fleet commanders showed a little difference between the two sides!
Bertrand Ratcliffe immediately ordered the main gun to be charged. His plan was very simple, to use the heavy particle cannon to sweep a path, and then focus fire on the opponent in the shortest possible time!The opponent has three destroyers, but only two frigates.Both the Wagner-class destroyer and the Assaulter-class destroyer gave up the boxer-class method of stacking heavy particle cannon firepower, and both are high-power heavy particle cannons.Said to be high power, when hitting the opponent's deflecting electric field, it is not much more powerful than the heavy particle cannon on the frigate.Almost needless to say, I have an extra heavy particle cannon on my side. If they focus on each other, the opponent will be the first to collapse.

This is also a typical American bull style.

The idea of ​​Uhtred Nakajima opposite him is more complicated.In the space circle, although he was converted from a base soldier to a space army, but because the space circle itself is on a satellite, Major General Nakajima is more sensitive to space navigation than Major General Ratcliffe. The complex situation of L5 is similar to this gravel belt, and Nakajima has also conducted special training and exercises in the L2 area.He understands the influence of the gravel belt better than Ratcliffe.

Therefore, his first thought was not to fire, but to deal with the opponent's single-seater combat boat and UFP.

He arranged the three destroyers and his flagship together as the main formation, and then tried his best to move his warships to places where the debris was dense, and at the same time released single-seat combat boats and UFPs.

In addition, he ordered the two Saxon-class "FF51" and "FF47" to take advantage of their small hull, high thrust ratio, and flexible maneuverability to load UFP on their backs, and began to think about maneuvering on both wings, ready to outflank the opponent at any time!
"Warning! Warning! High electric field ahead, high magnetic field response. It is judged that the opponent's heavy particle cannon is charged. Please deploy the deflection electric field and avoid it!" On the bridge of the "Cartesian", the shipboard control personality seemed to be convulsed Issue the highest level warning.After less than five seconds of charging, the first bombardment at a distance of [-] kilometers came.

Under the impact of the ultra-high-speed plasma flow rushed out of the nuclear fusion reactor, the tantalum alloy projectile turns into a flow of heavy particles with a temperature of hundreds of millions of Kelvin. Under the wrapping of the directional magnetic field, these tantalum atoms that should have become plasma still remain Maintaining its mass, it was accelerated to [-]% of the speed of light in the long acceleration orbit, and rushed towards its target with lightning wrapped in electricity!

Faced with this dazzling block of energy light, Major General Nakajima remained unmoved, and only ordered: "Turn down the light."

As expected, the pulse of the heavy particle cannon was disturbed by debris.These gravels are naturally evaporated, but they also interfere with the emission direction of the heavy particle stream.Let the originally concentrated jet become dispersed.In addition, these gravels have a small amount of elements such as helium [-] and hydrogen isotopes.Under the impact of hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature and one percent of the speed of light, a small fusion reaction occurred.Although these fusion reactions are insignificant, they are enough to make the repulsive force inside the heavy particle jet tend to disperse the heavy particle flow that is in a stable state with huge inertia!

As expected by Major General Nakajima, the flow of heavy particles that should have been converged has turned into a gust of wind, and a burst of blinding lightning flashed on the hemisphere deflecting the electric field.

"Thank the other party for clearing the way for us, now it's us! Shelling!"

The rubble in the ring was so dense that after the bombardment, the NATO warships were also maneuvering at the fastest speed. Of course, the bombardment of the "Descartes" and the three Wagner-class destroyers were also disturbed.Except for a flash of light on the other party's deflection electric field, it was as unscathed as a swallow passing through cooking smoke.

However, this cannot be said to be a tie!
"Heavy particle cannon charging, spread angle 1 degrees! 3% power, alternate shooting! Each ship's charged particle cannon, reconnect the cannon, don't stop, block the opponent! Reconnect the cannon, the laser cannon focuses on taking care of the opponent's UFP ejection compartment ! The reconnection gun is ready to compress the helium warhead! Once the opponent releases smoke and scattering colloid, blow it away for me immediately!"

Rear Admiral Uhtred Nakajima has released the UFP and the single-seater combat boat, but the opponent's battle boat is still in the cabin!What I have to do is to let them stay in the belly of the mothership obediently, and don't come out to make trouble for myself!

The dazzling trajectories of charged particle cannons and lasers interweave a dazzling picture in space, and the light like a heavy rain shrouds the battleships on both sides.There are also a large number of beams blocked by rocks and ice, turning into more brilliant sparks.The warships of both sides adjusted their distance and the frequency band of the deflection electric field, hoping that the electric fields of the two sides would not interfere with each other, and it would be best if they could be superimposed to make the energy of the electric field greater.

The rocks hit by the solid projectiles of the reconnection gun kept falling into the influence range of the deflection electric field, and the strong electric field vortex directly gasified these silicates and carbonate rocks, forming colorful vortices like fireworks!

This is war, war in the space age.People use nuclear fusion, a star-level energy, to fight in space with various dazzling directed energy weapons!If you want to select the most beautiful things that human beings can create, this cruel and beautiful picture scroll must be selected!
Gradually, Major General Ratcliffe finally realized what the hell people in the space circle were planning.
