The battle on the ground has come to an end, but the decisive battle at the Lagrange Point has just begun.
In the deep and dark starry sky, hundreds of long shuttle-shaped aircrafts sailed in a neat formation in the direction of the Lagrange hotspot. Looking at it, they looked like assault boats crossing the sea, sailing thousands of miles away.
Its name is "Albatross", numbered XTW-1, with a total length of 7 meters and a width of 3 meters. It is shaped like a rocket from the old era.
In fact, this thing is actually a modified version of the chemical-powered rocket from the old era.
The only difference is that the chemical power system is replaced by a more efficient plasma thruster, and the multi-stage rocket separation design is deleted.
More than half of the entire aircraft's volume is allocated to the power system. In addition, it is made of ceramic steel and can accommodate a crew cabin of up to 4 combat units.
After approaching the target, the landing craft will launch the crew capsule directly like a cannonball, and after approaching the target spacecraft, it will be firmly attached to it.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the landing module will be unlocked, and combatants carrying cutting equipment will be released to dismantle the shell of the target spacecraft, and then break in with weapons.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is probably the smallest air and space combat unit in the history of human civilization since the Three Years War.
If missiles and neutron torpedoes are not included in the statistics.
Of course, no matter how small this thing is, it is still compared to a starship that can easily travel several kilometers.
Faced with the radar search of the Lagrange point space station, it is impossible to avoid it simply by relying on its small size and anti-radar coating.
Not to mention that these hundreds of "albatross" had no intention of covering up at all. Not only did they just drive over so openly, they also formed a neat square formation in the air.
This is undoubtedly a provocation.
From the moment this fleet set off, the radar of the Lagrange Point Space Station focused on them.
However, the air defense system deployed on the outside of the space station did not fire immediately. Instead, it maintained surveillance and pre-aimed it with the mass accelerator of the point defense system, and calculated the Alliance fleet's cruising trajectory and possible avoidance routes through server simulation.
All preparations for firing had been completed, and the two sides faced off in silent silence for several days.
finally--
The moment the Alliance's landing craft array entered the boundary of the "parking orbit" of the Lagrange point, the mass accelerators aimed at the Alliance landing craft from a distance suddenly flashed faint blue like a gas stove.
Arc!
Tens of thousands of mass bombs were launched in an instant, forming an airtight net in the air!
In just half a minute, the space station at Lagrange Point pumped out nearly a destroyer's worth of working fluid!
And that overwhelming firepower carried enough power to tear apart an asteroid, and it blocked almost every possible maneuvering direction of the Alliance landing craft array!
Battles on an astronomical scale are so unpretentious.
All the fancy moves and techniques are useless in the face of a sufficient number of "powerful flying bricks".
Even if it's a deflector shield.
It can only carry two or three more rounds.
Tianren had already anticipated that the Alliance's landing craft might be equipped with deflector shields, so based on the simulation result of 100% destruction rate, an additional 5 times the amount of excess ammunition was added!
This is almost the limit of the amount of shells delivered by the Lagrange Point Space Station at one time!
If a few more tons of working fluid are added in a short period of time, it is possible to push the space station out of the gravitational stability range, and it will take a lot of time to correct and accelerate the coordinates.
After completing the shooting, the railguns pointing straight ahead immediately stopped firing, and the red-hot railgun barrels were raised gracefully and merged into the cooling tank, just like the action of closing the gun.
The dense rain of bullets is still flying, and it is expected to hit in two minutes.
At such a close distance, even if the Alliance discovers that the hail of bullets is approaching, they will have no time to dodge. They can only make a useless death struggle, or watch their spacecraft being sieved by the dense rain of bullets!
The distance is getting closer, and the two lattice clouds flashing on the radar screen are about to collide!
500km!
300km!
100km!
0km——
Hit the target!
Looking at the signal confirming the hit from the fire control system, the artificial intelligence consciousness running on the server of the Lagrange Point space station felt neither sadness nor joy.
That was the outcome that was already expected.
Before the artillery shell hits the target, it has already simulated the results of the firefight on the server, and now it is just making the calculation results a reality.
There is absolutely no chance that these spaceships will survive, not even a one in ten thousand chance.
However, just when it was about to lift the alert and move the camera away, the current on the intellectual plug-in suddenly fluctuated violently at a frequency called "incredible".
"How can it be?!"
An incredible scene happened.
I saw the lattice cloud representing the mass bomb on the radar screen, actually passing straight through the phalanx of the Alliance landing craft!
It felt like a punch on cotton, as if those shells hit not landing craft at all, but ghosts that looked like landing crafts!
That's a deception!
This is the only explanation!
There was no time to be surprised. The intelligent beings running on the server immediately updated the combat instructions, separated the rail gun barrel from the cooling tank, recharged the high-energy capacitor connected to the rail gun, and prepared to start the second round of shooting.
!
At the same time, it changes the firing mode from indirect fire to direct fire mode, using the infrared reflection radar on the artillery to actively search for enemies!
At the same time that the infrared reflection radar was turned on, the bright spots flashing on the radar dial instantly disappeared, replaced by a series of flashing dots less than 500 kilometers away from the Lagrange point space station!
The intelligent life running on the server immediately understood what was going on——
These guys not only used electronic warfare equipment to simulate a group of non-existent spacecrafts, but also used active laser irradiation to simulate the optical images of these spacecrafts on their optical cameras, even the spinning satellite in the background.
of earth!
From the moment the five hundred landing craft set off, they were doing this!
It is precisely because of this that it did not detect any abnormalities at all.
As for the real landing craft, it was hidden behind the false holographic image!
Of course, this was a few seconds ago.
The distance between the two sides is less than 400 kilometers, and they are still approaching at a speed of several kilometers per second!
Just when the space station at Lagrange Point finally discovered the landing craft fleet that was driving towards its face, the players dormant in the landing craft finally saw the majestic space fortress clearly.
The magnificent steel skeleton is connected in the air, just like an artificial planet!
"Fuck...this thing is really big." Looking at the front aerial image displayed on the tactical eyepiece, the wide-eyed quitting couldn't help but muttered to himself.
He thought that the Orion was already amazing enough, but he didn't expect that there was something even more exaggerated than that thing. From a distance, it looked like a mountain range in space!
The teasing sounds of teammates soon came from the communication channel.
Murderous Dagger: "After all, this is a shipyard in the People's Federation era. How can it be done without a little bit of reputation?"
Kidney Fighter: "By the way, after we win this place, it's time to open a new map, right?"
A strange combination of circumstances: "We will rely on this thing when opening new maps in the future."
First version: "My sword is so thirsty!!!"
Shanhe fell into a dream: "Captain!! How long until we arrive?"
A moment passed: "There are only the last 100 kilometers left before the target. Attention, all units! Activate the buffer mode of the safety seat——"
"Get ready for landing!"
As soon as Lao Bai finished speaking, an excited roar came from the communication channel.
"Ouch!!!!"
They have been hanging up in the narrow landing craft for several days, just to catch this trip!
Now the wait is over!
The distance of 100 kilometers passed in an instant, and the landing craft one after another suddenly rushed to the vicinity of the Lagrange Point space station like a space jump.
Forcibly landing on a star port in the People's Federation era is much more exciting than airborne landing on the ground from orbit.
Both sides have exceeded the speed of the second universe, and they are rapidly approaching each other at a relative speed of several kilometers per second!
It’s no exaggeration to say——
At this moment, the Burning Corps is no longer charging with the cannonballs, but is riding on the cannonballs and landing!
The distance between the two sides has reached its limit, and optical camouflage and electronic warfare interference have lost their effect!
After discovering the target, the point defense system deployed on the space station hurriedly opened fire to meet it. However, the speeding mass bombs could not even catch up with the exhaust of the landing craft. They could only watch helplessly as they broke through the mass bombs flying all over the sky.
Rush into the point defense system's shooting dead zone and start slowing down!
The space station at the Lagrange point is not a real war machine like the Orion. In the final analysis, it is just a shipyard equipped with a point defense system.
This shipyard is not equipped with torpedo launchers, nor does it have a reserve of neutron torpedoes.
Although the spaceships of the Human Federation era were all manufactured here, the supplies used by the spacecraft were not processed here, but were completed in the processing center at the end of the old-era space elevator.
In other words——
Tianren can no longer repeat the same trick as last time, actively detonating neutron bombs to clear the area.
This important piece of information is also provided to the alliance by the academy.
"Ready to fight!!!"
Lao Bai roared, then closed his mouth, waiting for the final collision.
The landing craft quickly split into two parts. Each landing module was thrown out from the hull and the buffer device was activated at the same time, spraying out a hot plasma plume in the direction of the Lagrange Point space station!
Even with the decompression of the buffer cabin, Lao Bai's eyes were instantly turned blood red.
The acceleration of dozens of Gs is no longer within the range that humans can bear. I am afraid that only the "super soldiers" with more than 50 points of physical fitness and strength attributes can withstand it!
The flashing arc was like a blue dagger. The moment Tu Qiong Dagger saw it, he stabbed at the fortress floating in the deep sky one after another!
The propeller of the landing craft exploded the moment it hit the armored surface, and the landing module that followed fell down on the exploded wreckage of the landing craft.
The jet-black steel armor was instantly evaporated by the hot plasma, creating fist-sized dents, even though the dents were only a drop in the bucket compared to the former's majestic size!
"Craftfire!!!"
Yelling loudly in the communication channel, Lao Bai took the lead and passed through the door of the landing module, carrying a welding gun the size of a laptop computer and striking it against the steel armor of the Lagrange Point space station.
Although the shell of the United Space Station is made of hard ceramic steel, no matter how hard the steel armor is, it cannot withstand the continuous burning of plasma!
As the trigger was pulled, tens of thousands of degrees of plasma slurry spurted out from the muzzle of the welding gun after electromagnetic acceleration, and soon a shocking scar was cut on the ceramic steel armor of the space station!
Soon, Lao Bai, who was holding a welding gun, cut a circular entrance into the connection part of the fortress!
Hanging the welding gun behind his back, he tore off the removed steel and threw it out. Then he took the aerospace-style heavy rifle specially made by Jushi Military Industry and led the three teammates behind him into the fortress.
The space inside the fortress was silent, without a trace of sound or air.
According to the academy's information, the last staff member of this space station died a century and a half ago.
Since then, this space station has no longer been visited by living people, and has completely fallen into the hands of "celestial beings"!
If you want to take this space station back from the hands of heavenly beings, you must enter the main control server of the space station and completely format the intelligent program that was born on the server!
or--
Destroy it physically!
The computer room where the main control server is stored is located in the deepest part of the space station and has been marked on all players' tactical maps.
After confirming his location through the map projected on the tactical eyepiece, Lao Bai immediately synchronized the action route to the three teammates beside him, and then headed towards the target area.
As the players expected, even if the walls and point defense systems of the fortress were breached, the heavenly beings guarding the fortress did not sit still and wait for death, but instead burst out with an extraordinary desire to survive.
These guys not only awakened the few androids and production robots in the shipyard, but even the "sex dolls" used by the intelligent shopping guides and distribution staff in the sales area were mobilized into the defense force.
Facts have proven that these non-combat robots can also develop combat effectiveness after the safety protocol is lifted.
However, due to the complete madness of the "celestial being", the originally serious battlefield suddenly became comical.
Players not only encountered self-exploding wastepaper baskets and charging cooking robots carrying spatulas, but also ran into androids wearing sexy suits and some weird gadgets.
It seemed that what they were rushing into was not the ancestral grave of the People's Federation of Aerospace Forces, but a large-scale intelligent equipment expo and the People's Federation of Era X-Pets Museum.
"Oh my god...why are there all kinds of messy things in this space station?"
Looking at the octopus-shaped monster that was emitting electric sparks, I couldn't help but complain in surprise, and at the same time lowered the muzzle of the gun in my hand.
He thought that being hit by a frying pan was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that even Squidward ran out, and his fighting power was not ordinary. He whipped two whips and almost knocked out a member of the team.
Keep people] and give them a concussion penalty.
Guangfeng dragged Daoxia Liuren out from the corner, checked his injuries, made sure he was fine, and put him aside.
This guy is probably reconnecting, and it will probably be fine after a while.
The scrambled eggs with tomatoes that stood nearby floated to the monster's body, and he kicked the tentacles as thick as thighs with his boots.
"Am I the only one wondering what this thing is for?"
Serving live octopus at the buffet?
Kuangfeng coughed slightly and said expressionlessly.
"...I think it's better for you not to be curious."
Just as everyone was talking, Elder Brother Fang's voice suddenly came from the captain's communication channel.
"... We have arrived near the main control server room. This is probably the last line of defense for the heavenly beings... Their resistance is stronger than we thought. We need reinforcements! You move faster!"
When they heard that the group was about to start, everyone immediately became energetic, including Dao Xia Liuren who was unconscious in the corner and got up.
The final BOSS is just ahead!
After replying "Copy that", Fang Feng looked at his teammates behind him and said calmly.
"Fang Chang needs reinforcements, we have to move faster!"
"Hurry up..." Quit smoking, pick up the rifle that fell on the ground, reload it, and throw it into the hands of the swordsman, "If you miss this, you will regret it for the rest of your life." ()
