too late, organism

In addition to the beacons, the Shinra infiltrators also began to develop those sensors into their own.

The Tau Army, who had nothing to do with the raiding imperial army and these annoying stealth warships, had to dispatch additional fleets again, trying to determine where the Imperial Expeditionary Force was as soon as possible for a decisive battle.

Chapter 351 335 Great Expedition Class "Battleship"

The speed of the remaining eight star rings started by the cat car is very fast. After all, this time, there is no need for the cat car to lead the technical masters to start from the first hard light drone by hand.

Just let a few starships run errands and bring the hard light drones made by the previous two rings.

Of course, the cat car will not waste the flagship of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, or the battle fortress.

No matter how you look at it, the shape of the cat car on this ship is very strange. On this kind of battleship with a sharp geometric appearance, there are a bunch of Gothic weapons and equipment that have been mentioned before.

It’s as if someone spread peanut butter on pizza and then icing on it, put strawberries in mapo tofu, dumped xiao long bao in soup for wonton cooking…

But it's strange, the two shipyards of this battleship are still very useful, so a group of mechanical priests don't know whether to be angry or cry, or simply crash.

Shen Luo Jiba dismantled the part transformed by the Mechanic God in the shipyard again, and then installed Shen Luo-style shipbuilding equipment and a large number of hard light generators.

If the original manufacturing AI of this battleship is still in operation, it will probably greet Shinra and the Mechanicus with unknown swear words. However, since the unlucky AI has long been dismantled, it is not yet known where it was thrown. Dust accumulates in corners.

So after a round of Shenluo's characteristic octagonal competition where whoever loses will be the host, a scolding Shenluo was stuffed into the host, and began to build a cat car customized for the empire. ".

The reason for the quotation marks is because the No. [-] and No. [-] ships of the Great Expedition class built on the Imperial Sanctuary are indeed the prototype ships of the Grand Expedition class battleships, and the tonnage fully meets the standards of the universe of stars, including weapons. Nothing was exceeded in the slightest.

But...these two battleships are scaled-up test ships.

If the ratio is not reduced, the size of the Great Expedition-class "Battleship" is basically the same as the Star Sea Empire's master ship, but the two shipyards have been removed, and the space has been replaced with six sets of power cabins to strengthen the engine's propulsion. The speed of this battleship can keep up with conventional fleet operations.

At the same time, the abundant energy means that this class of warships can be equipped with a better shield system.

Therefore, the Great Expedition-class "Battleship" is equipped with two sets of void shields and a set of Shinra's super shields.

Use the outermost Void Shield to resist high-speed attacks from enemy ships, and use the inner Shinra Super Shield to block low-speed attacks such as jumping and carrier-based aircraft raids.

If the void shield is overloaded daily and needs heat dissipation, another set of spare void shields will immediately come out to resist damage while the overload heat dissipation system, which is Shinra's traditional strength, is working.

Unless the opponent's attack is strong enough to tear apart two types of three-layer shields in one go, this class of warships can walk sideways on the battlefield. An exhilarating situation.

This battleship is equipped with a large number of high-level dual-purpose point defense systems. After being cast into the shadows by the orcs' Tiaobang, the Academy of Engineering came up with this high-level dual-purpose machine for air-to-air and low-speed vehicle harvesters and ground-to-ground infantry meat grinders. gun.

In addition to the powerful active and passive defense systems, the weapon system of this battleship is also consistent with the Shinra style. It is not full of macro cannons on both sides like an imperial battleship, and then a bunch of lance turrets are installed. And things like the Nova Cannon.

Because this level of "battleship" was designed into a loyal shape when it was designed.

From the top view and the bottom view, this battleship is a super-sized Imperial Skyhawk logo, and the eye on the left side of the eagle head is a large Gothic style church, and there is an emperor on it statue.

Unlike other Emperor statues, as the Emperor's good brother (not) best friend (none), the cat car will not let the Emperor just watch his little brothers smash the enemies of the empire, or those How the enemies of the empire climbed onto his beautiful battleship (actually a Shinra battleship).

Therefore, in the eyes of the statue of the emperor, a group of medium-sized gamma laser turrets with a forward 180-degree field of view were installed by the cat car, so that the emperor or the captain can perform what it means to kill you with eyes at any time.

And the pair of claws of the Skyhawk were also equipped with two sets of Shinra version of Purgatory Rays (the prototype was replaced by Tachyon Light Spear) by the cat car, and six sets of green-skinned orcs would do anything if they saw it The price wants to get the improved Nova Cannon.

After forcing his technical masters to burn more than 600 sets of thinking cores of his own, Mao · Morde · Great Exploiter · Che successfully obtained a laser from Shenluo Namen before using it, and then focused on it. A nova cannon improved by the crystal shooting technology.

The original combat method of the Nova Cannon was to accelerate the high-explosive shells and smear the opponent's face at a speed close to the speed of light.

And the Mechanicus has developed a variety of shells for this purpose, the most famous of which is the gravitational shell that can explode a small black hole. However, due to the lack of a stable chain reaction of this shell, it basically explodes shortly after the explosion. Because of insufficient mass, it evaporates into a piece of normal cosmic space again.

The Expedition-type Nova Cannon produced by the cat riders has inherited the glorious tradition of war bosses. While the Nova Cannon itself is accelerating, a secondary curvature engine is built into the cannonball, which can ensure that the Nova Cannon will The speed of the projectile increases to FTL levels.

At this speed, there is no need to buy any high-explosive bombs. As long as the four peddlers in the subspace have not distorted the laws of physics, this shell can basically send the opponent away as long as it hits.

At the same time, because it is difficult to judge whether the superluminal shell hits, the main cannon will immediately fire another tachyon light spear after the superluminal shell is fired, which is simply used to determine the impact of the bullet (replenish the gun).

The biggest problem faced by the Imperial Navy before when using the Nova Cannon, the accuracy problem, was also solved by the cat car after it was equipped with the gun control device of the Gu Juji-class Titan.

The observation equipment commonly used by the Imperial Navy is an observation equipment called a bird flutter, which allows Imperial starships to detect energy and heat sources on planets or deep in space, which makes them useful for detecting incoming enemies. ships or pinpoint critical installations on hostile planets.

But just like most of the equipment in the empire, this kind of sophisticated equipment often has some deviations due to interference or the unhappiness of the machine soul. At this time, it is up to the crew to open their eyes and think about the ballistic trajectory and shoot manually.

This is why Imperial warships especially like to install a bunch of macro cannons on both sides and shoot people close to each other.

Chapter 352 336 Forbidden Army: I can touch it!

However, although the Great Crusade class is good, this class of warships is not a battleship prepared for the decisive battle with the Tau Empire.

Speaking out may cause Tau to be sad, but just relying on the simplified version of the war boss-class battleships produced in the Halo factory, the Tau army can be smashed into space, and the rest is nothing more than a question of the amount of loss.

But the emperor was threatened by the dream warning, so naturally he had to take out something just in case.

So in addition to installing the six X-slot main guns, Eagle Wing Shanghai installed a dense array of macro guns, megaton cannon turrets, light spear launchers and other T-slot weapons.

After all, when you don't know whether the opponent is armored or shielded, you should install all the types of weapons that can be equipped, and it is common sense to beat the master to death with random punches.

Just as the No. [-] and No. [-] ships of the Great Expedition class were undergoing trial voyages, the War Council also began to send a fleet to conduct outpost operations.

Just relying on the Custodians to wash the deck and install bombs is not enough to deal with the Tau fleet. Even if so many Tau troops stand still and let the Custodians kill them, they can still kill the Custodians.

So there must be something more efficient to deal with the Tau army.

So the Imperial fleet began to conduct skirmishes with the Tau Army under the guidance of stealth frigates.

In order to determine the location of the main force of the Imperial Navy, the Tau Army Fleet had to separate several groups of small fleets to investigate the space area that had been cleared by the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

And the size of these fleets can't be too small, otherwise they will be smashed on the ground by those invisible frigates.

As a result, these Tau army exploration fleets became the targets of the first round of attacks by the War Council, and a strike group composed of a large number of moon-class cruisers, genuine war BOSS-class battleships, and stealth frigates began to attack these Tau army fleets at the same time .

First of all, after figuring out the location of the Tau Army fleet, a strike group composed of a large number of invisible frigates will follow behind the Tau Army fleet.

Then there is a strike group composed of Lunar-class cruisers and war boss-class battleships, which will end the FTL voyage as close as possible to the Tau fleet.

At the moment when the transition is over, the War Boss-class battleship will attack the Tau Army fleet at a long distance by relying on its own range far beyond the Tau Army battleship, while the Lunar-class cruiser will start to outflank the Tau Army fleet from both wings.

All the Tau fleet could do at this point was fight or flight.

If you choose to fight, then the moon-class cruiser will wait for the war boss battleship to continue bombarding the Tau fleet after outflanking the two wings of the Tau fleet, forcing the Tau fleet to disperse to face the outflank of the Imperial fleet.

And after the Tau army fleet is dispersed, the stealth frigate will cooperate with the Lunar cruiser on one side to attack one of the squadrons.

After destroying this fleet, empty out the remaining Tau fleets one by one.

If the Tau fleet chooses to evacuate when the main formation enters the field, the stealth frigate formation will continue to lay mines on their retreating channel, and use torpedoes to surprise the Tau fleet when necessary, to delay the Tau fleet's attack. Retreat and fight.

As long as the battle situation is hopeful, no warship commander will choose to run at super-light speed when he is likely to be hit.

Any super-light voyage, including curvature voyage and subspace voyage, after the ship is damaged is a matter of testing the integrity of the ship and the character of the captain.

Leaving aside the fact that ghosts and snakes will ask you to buy road money during the voyage in subspace, the impact on the structure of the warship is a very troublesome problem when the warship accelerates and decelerates rapidly.

After some battleships are damaged, they may still appear to be normal when sailing at sub-light speed, and they may even be able to fight normally, but once they enter the super-light speed state, they will be torn into a pile of pieces by the thrust of their own engines immediately.

Not to mention FTL while under attack, which is basically Russian roulette with five bullets in six holes.

So the stealth frigate can effectively delay and force the Tau warships not to flee faster than the speed of light.

And is there anything better in the world than chasing and bombarding a fleeing enemy ship?If there is, it must be chasing a group of fleeing enemies and bombarding them. Not only is there no risk, but it can also satisfy the hunting desire engraved in DNA.

The Imperial Expeditionary Force with a large number of ships attacked the more than [-] fleets sent by the Tau Army in one breath, and achieved extremely brilliant results, except for one of the fleets shouting that this was a trap. After seeing the Imperial fleet Just choose to run faster than the speed of light.

As a result, a quarter of the warships were lost before all the stealth frigates took action, and the rest of the fleet basically only had single-digit lucky ones who successfully escaped from the battlefield.

The loss of the Imperial Fleet was negligible, basically only a few dozen stealth frigates were lost, and more than a dozen Lunar-class cruisers were damaged to varying degrees.

When the skirmish battle was a great success, the imperial troops who were fishing for trouble in the Tau army fleet finally got the big prize.

When the six Shinra Imperial Guards followed the six Imperial Imperial Guards and teleported to the Tau Army battleship, ready to receive actual combat teaching, a group of Ethereals gathered for a meeting appeared in front of them with the flash of the teleportation.

These more than 20 ethers seemed to be gathering in that meeting room to discuss the next move of the fleet, and then twelve golden armored giants appeared in the meeting room.

There is no doubt that even if these ethers have grown a second head and additional appendages, it has not changed the overwhelming combat power gap between them and the Custodians.

Fortunately, after being knocked down one by one by the imperial guards, it was caught under the armpit and taken away like a chicken.

Those who were unlucky were punched and found that they had exceeded the carrying limit, and then they were filled with three feet by these forbidden soldiers as if they saw cockroaches. I don't know if they will see the god of the highest good way after these three feet go down. .

But what is certain is that these 24 ethers are all important people.

Because when the Custodians ran away with the ether teleportation, the entire Tau fleet seemed to be crazy and started chasing the invisible frigate.

Originally, after the Custodians were teleported, the stealth frigate left here at high speed, and set up false beacons with other stealth frigates in the fleet to interfere with the Tau Army's sight again when recovering the Custodians.

But I didn't expect that the forbidden army had touched a group of ethers as soon as they boarded the ship, so that the detachment where the invisible frigate was located had no time to set up false beacons.

So under the cover of other stealth frigates, this stealth frigate began to try to speed up its departure from the battlefield.

And the other stealth frigates in this detachment that did not carry the Custodians alternately canceled their stealth and continuously launched attacks on the Tau fleet to buy time for the frigate to evacuate.

Chapter 353 337 Vulcan: I'm going!

Because of the existence of the ether on the invisible frigate, the Tau army warship did not use powerful naval guns to attack the frigate at the beginning, and those Tau army fighters only dared to attack the propeller part of the frigate.

This gave the invisible frigate the opportunity to hasten its escape from the Tau Grand Fleet.

At the same time, those frigates in the same fleet that undertook the cover task also effectively delayed the pursuit of the Tau warships.

Although the equipment policy of small boats against cannons makes the firepower persistence of stealth frigates extremely poor, but when explosive firepower output is required, this extreme design can still play a role.

After a Tau Hero-class cruiser, which was trying to forcefully get stuck in the channel and stop the stealth frigate carrying the stolen ether, was destroyed by a torpedo salvo from another stealth frigate, it was attacked by that frigate with a heroic and fearless attack. The explosion caused by the head hammer of the battleship directly hitting the power cabin directly restored the entire cruiser to the state of entering the factory.

And this frigate formation is not the only one performing missions in this galaxy.

After discovering that the frigate was retreating with a high and limited cargo, the rest of the stealth frigate formation also began to engage in delayed operations.

So wave after wave of torpedoes fired almost close to the face caused the Tau fleet to fall into a certain degree of chaos.

At the same time, the Imperial Army troops touched 24 ethers, and the news that the frigate formation was returning with the goods was also sent back to the War Council.

At this time, the cat car is studying the flesh and blood of the Tau tribe infected by the subspace, and returned to the fleet to start working with the figure king Traasin to study how to make artificial souls, and introduce the consciousness of those space necrons into the artificial souls .

In addition, the command skills of the cat car have no other skills except for the brothers and me, fighting with the idea, and putting yourself in the bullet and shooting it out.

So after reviewing the battle plan, Maoche delegated the command of the battle to the War Council, and the person responsible for making specific decisions in this battle was Vulkan, the Lord of Fire Dragons.

After Vulkan learned that the fleet of the Tau Empire had fallen into chaos, and a part of the fleet was induced by the invisible frigate, it began to pursue.

He immediately began commanding the fleet to prepare for launching this battle aimed at destroying the mobile forces of the Tau Empire Navy, and made a little modification on the basis of the original plan to adapt to the current situation.

In the new plan, due to the different speeds of warships, the fastest stealth frigates are the first to move. The goal of these light warships is to harass the Tau Empire's large fleet before the main fleet engages.

After covering the escape of the stealth frigate carrying its vital cargo, regroup behind the Tau Grand Fleet.

After these invisible killers, there are faster imperial cruisers and Shinra's war boss-class battleships. These warships will fake the illusion that the main force of the Imperial Expeditionary Force has been dispatched, and will be in charge after the battle with the Tau Empire fleet. rout.

After all, when Titanium is strong, even the head of the army will give it for nothing, and it is normal for the imperial fleet to be defeated.

After the fleet retreated, the rest of the formation composed of the slow-moving BOSS-class battleships and imperial battleships were responsible for giving the chasing Tau army fleet a head-on blow, and then it was the popular split-up attack to make dumplings.

At the same time that the Imperial Expeditionary Force began to move, the pursuit of the invisible frigates by the Tau Empire fleet became more and more urgent.

At the beginning, the Tau Army fleet also tried to intercept this invisible frigate and hide those kidnapped ethers, so not only did they not use large-caliber naval guns and torpedoes, they only used small-caliber secondary guns to attack this frigate, and those The densely packed fighter jets also ordered the street to attack only the engine part of the battleship, trying to force the battleship to stop.

After it became apparent that it was impossible to stop the frigate and retake the ether, the Tau fleet also began to attack the frigate with all available firepower.

However, as an invisible frigate qualified to carry the forbidden army to carry out missions, the captain of this battleship is one of the first captains of Shenluo to drive an invisible frigate, although he was able to switch to a newer and larger battleship very early. command.

But the captain finally chose to continue driving the stealth frigate. According to him, "Only a fool will drive those live targets that don't run fast. I have this ship. I don't have any weapons that can sink her." invented."

Therefore, this invisible frigate has also become one of the warships with the longest service in Shinra. In several battles where Shinra almost lost its tonnage, this warship could either drive back with a ship of scars.

Or you can wait until the logistics fleet comes to the battlefield to collect the wreckage in a sinking state, and when you drag it back, you can see that the main structure of the ship is basically intact, and you can replace the exploded armored turret and power cabin, and it will be a good ship again. .

Even the naval logistics officer was joking with the captain after seeing the ship's repair records: "No wonder you kid refuses to change the ship. The money to repair this ship is enough to build another cruiser."

So this invisible frigate survived all the way, from Shinra's decisive weapon to ordinary configuration, and from the brink of collective retirement to returning to the ranks of service.

The war nun-class cruiser also survived the Thunder Warrior-class pocket battleship.

The result of all the hard work is that today, when facing the bursting barrage of the Tau Empire, this battleship is like a petrel in a storm.

The captain steered the battleship flexibly so that the battleship avoided most of the fatal attacks, and the few attacks that could not be avoided, the captain also accurately judged which attacks the battleship could withstand, and those attacks were the ones that the battleship could withstand. A warship cannot bear it.

Plus those damage control team members who already know the structure of this battleship better than the shipyard engineers, and the newly equipped hard light generator.

The pilots of the Tau Empire who were chasing this invisible frigate at close range were shocked to lose their eyes. This kind of bullet rain that even the chasing Tau Empire flying team would be hit by mistake, how could this warship be able to dodge?Why has it been hit many times, and the damage that would have exploded in the case of an ordinary frigate, but this battleship can still continue to soar like a ship that has nothing to do.
