Chapter 728: Difficult Choice: Prepare to Join the Gang
The Guangfu was directly bombarded!
Fortunately, Xie Yuan used the maximum level of overload protection to offset the large-scale lethality of this gun, and the ship was unscathed except for a slight shake.
But the price is that the counterattack power of the first group of bombardments is only 30% of the normal power, which can hardly break the defense on the opposite side. But because it was just hit, this means that the opposite side of the Restoration is exactly in the direction of the enemy ship at this time.
"Fire out the front guns and bow torpedoes!" Xie Yuan ordered decisively.
"Fire!!!" Regardless of his eyes that couldn't be opened, Kaiden loudly issued the authorization while his eyes were filled with tears and he was temporarily blinded.
"Brush!!!" 9 beams of light and 12 torpedoes with blue light in front began to move forward without any resistance like arrows.
"All hit!" Three seconds later, the shipboard supercomputer issued a report, "The surface of the enemy ship is damaged, and the weapon system and engine turbine are damaged to varying degrees. The damage estimate... is being calculated...
…20% and around 10. The enemy ship has begun to turn and leave the docking range, and is expected to leave the targeting range in 60 seconds.”
"60 seconds? That's enough!"
Xie Yuan nodded, and then ordered: "The No. 1 gun in the upper part of the front gun firing system, the No. 1 gun in the lower part ordered the electromagnetic gun tube to be offline, open the central axis main gun position energy storage system, and prepare to launch."
"Copy that!" Kaiden barely opened his eyes and immediately pressed the authorization button. He was already impatient after being humiliated by his enemies over and over again.
In fact, everyone in the command area, Adams in the engine area, Ada, the third mate in the captain's attendant's room, and Nilus stationed at the gun barrel all felt a little eager to try.
Because what is launched this time can be said to be the largest central axis main gun in the galaxy, the length of the gun barrel is already comparable to the length of the Collector battleship - this also means that the upper limit of firing power and firing distance has also been exceeded.
Cannon performance in the original version of Overlord.
It is known that the destructive firepower of the main gun of the Overlord-class Reaper flagship is currently set at 132 to 454 kilotons of TNT.
The current actual firing plan is to adjust the energy level to be consistent with the Overlord level, and to release it according to the lowest energy level standard-that is, the equivalent of a 132,000-ton TNT level...equivalent to a 100,000-ton nuclear warhead.
The energy level is concentrated in one click and broken.
Xie Yuan almost completely copied the energy dissipation and heat dissipation structure of the Overlord-class Reaper flagship on the Guangfu, and also connected the three plasma cannon barrels, two on top and one on bottom, in a targeted manner - the cannons can be fired when necessary.
Heat dissipation.
This central axis gun always had enough molten uranium-iron-tungsten alloy to fire one naval gun, so it quickly completed its alignment and pre-launch preparations within thirty seconds.
"The main gun has been charged!" the little angel announced at the right time, "the launch can be arranged."
"Agree!" Xie Yuan pressed the authorization button without hesitation.
Kaiden couldn't wait to open the authorization button, and was about to press it down——
"Captain! An emergency call request has been sent from nearby, and the sender is Commander Shepard." The little angel suddenly issued a notification.
Kaiden's hand suddenly stopped, and Xie Yuan sighed helplessly... He still had to face this problem after all.
"Come in." Kaiden couldn't refuse Shepard. Since it was Shepard who wanted to contact Guangfu urgently, he accepted Xie Yuan's nod and agreed.
Shepard, who was exposed on the visual screen, had a solemn look on his face: "Yuan, Kaiden, you cannot use the devastating central axis main gun power to destroy the Collector's cruiser."
"Why?" It was Xie Yuan who spoke, pretending to be confused. "Don't you know how many human residents this ship has robbed? If they are not destroyed, who knows how many more human bases they will harm."
"This is the key!!" Shepard said in a serious tone, "It is now full of kidnapped human residents, and they are trapped in pods. If the entire ship is destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people will be here too.
Deadly!"
"Wow!" As soon as these words came out, the crowd became furious.
Many people immediately started to look at Xie Yuan, their eyes burning, hoping that Xie Yuan could come up with a solution.
At this moment, the shipboard supercomputer began to report: "The enemy ship has 20 seconds left before it leaves the aiming range!"
"Did you know that if you missed this opportunity, we would have no choice but to fight with him - that's how they escaped last time."
Xie Yuan was still stubborn and looked at Kaiden and ordered: "Continue your work, deputy captain, this is a good opportunity that cannot be missed."
A war between heaven and man suddenly began in Caiden's mind: From a purely military perspective, these two hundred thousand people are insignificant - if we have the opportunity to destroy this scourge that continuously kidnaps humanity, we can save a lot of trouble.
More importantly, Xie Yuan, as the commander-in-chief, also agreed to the shooting down, which means that if we really want to find someone to share the blame, Xie Yuan will be the first to bear the brunt - and if we really want to go to a military court, apart from incurring notoriety, there will be nothing.
Troubled...because this is the most effective way.
Do you really want to do this?
This is 200,000 people?!
Kaiden, who knew the truth, couldn't make up his mind for a long time.
"Yuan, don't do this!" Shepard persuaded him earnestly, "We can do better."
"Humph, you have to be lucky. People are more important than ships at this stage." Xie Yuan finally stopped the launch process, but turned on the communication equipment and sent it to Adams, "Adams, prepare the shell casings."
"Are you sure, Captain?!" Adams heard Shepard's advice from the channel. In fact, he subconsciously gave up the incentive measures, but he did not expect that Xie Yuan directly proposed a particularly radical action plan.
"Since there are hundreds of thousands of people on board the Collector battleship, we have to take down the ship and rescue the people at any cost - all thanks to Bi Qi in the first battle."
Xie Yuan and Adams, as well as everyone in the command room plus Shepard, decided: "I will fight with the Collector today!"
"I will do my best to cooperate with you, Yuan." Shepard also promised Xie Yuan, "Trust me!"
Xie Yuanxin was so special - if this big holy lady hadn't suddenly sent a message, Kaiden could have arranged to press the button - and then just watch the fireworks, and everyone pretended to mourn for a while afterwards.
It's over, who would blame a captain and adjutant who didn't know the specific situation in advance - it's a good thing that you Shepard punctured the window paper, it doesn't matter if you hit it now, or if you don't hit it.
So what else can we do? We can only do it forcefully.
Xie Yuan first launched a mid-to-long-range naval battle with the Collector warship that had once again infiltrated the Reaper Herald, using maneuverability that was not inferior to that of the Collector warship to play with the T-front and reverse infiltration.
But then comes the main event.
Xie Yuan began the formation of the troops for the main event: "I will enter the shell shell later, and then use the main gun to penetrate the hull at the lowest power, and then let the first batch of jumping troops join in, and then the second
batch."
"What?!" Caiden was stunned. "You...the shell casings you are talking about are shot directly into the cannon - you are talking nonsense, I don't agree!"
"Your veto is invalid. I don't need anyone's approval to dispatch myself. That's it."
Xie Yuan didn't care at all, "Kaiden, seize the opportunity. Once I give the order to move forward on the enemy ship, you... you can release the second batch of gang-hopping troops."
"Who were the first batch of gang-hopping troops?" Kaiden wanted to ask clearly.
"Tatier and her team, 100 MEC series robots, and my disciple Shiri."
Xie Yuan had already made his decision.
Caiden felt his blood pressure rise again: "Not a single Marine is involved?"
In a sense, this is a sign of distrust of the Marines, which is tantamount to completely looking down on the Marines.
"You decide the candidates for the second batch of gang-hopping troops. I don't decide on the personnel."
After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Kaiden: "I don't mean to look down on the Marines. After all, it's best for mutants and space warriors not to participate this time - to prevent another infiltration like last time.
Tatir and Shiri have one advantage that cannot be compared with large-scale armies such as the Marine Corps - their ability to save lives is very strong, and I believe they can survive intact.
That’s the key!”
With that said, before Kaiden could answer, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "It is precisely because I trust you that I give you the responsibility of taking the helm. Fight well - the harder you hit me, the safer I will be."
After saying that, without waiting for Kaiden to react, he walked straight into the matrix, a white light flashed past with a "swipe" sound, and Xie Yuan disappeared.
"Alas! What evil have I done in my life!" Kaiden lamented in his heart, and then continued to control the ship.
"Brush!" When the white light flashed again, Xie Yuan had already appeared at the breech of the cannon. At this time, Xie Yuan was covered with a thick layer of power armor, and there were several flexible power mechanical arms behind him, which were very sensitive.
The ground was shaking everywhere, as if watching.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Adams's voice came from above, "Sit in a sphere, and then use the propulsion of the electromagnetic gun to send you to the enemy ship... No matter whether this works or not, you will die!
"
"There is no way." Xie Yuan walked slowly towards the sphere, climbed in lightly, and then the surrounding hydraulic valves restored the seal and decompressed the surrounding area. Then Xie Yuan's voice came from the radio, "The collector on the other side has
An awesome intelligence is in control, and he can calculate many things, but if I want to break the situation, I have to do something that is impossible in ordinary calculations - break the rules, and then I can see new breakthrough points."
"You know..." Adams hesitated, "Remember that you are the captain."
"I will never forget this" Xie Yuan said with a smile in his tone.
"Good luck to you." Adams ended the call.
Immediately, a huge manipulator grasped the sphere, entered the barrel of the orbital thruster, and began to reinforce and compact it.
Xie Yuan, who was in the dark, only heard a "Boom!" and suddenly became extremely hypoxic.
In fact, it was with this blast that the sphere Xie Yuan was on quickly left like a beam of light.
