Before the candidates for the new round of federal negotiation delegation were finalized, the alarm sounded once again throughout the base and fleet.
The orbital base and the fleet had changed positions, but the enemy still accurately rushed out from the storm clouds below and attacked the fleet. Having learned the lesson from the previous time, Crassus would naturally not make the same mistake as the last time this time, and arranged his arrangements early.
Four heavy cruisers were placed on guard at the periphery, and they moved ahead of time as soon as the target appeared, but all the first round of beam cannon shots missed. It was not until the target was far away from the storm clouds that the federal heavy cruiser was able to lock on, and the second round of focused fire hit accurately.
However, at this time, everyone from Crassus and Owen to the heavy patrol commanders and even the gunners widened their eyes and exclaimed: "What is this?!"
The underworld cannon that came to raid for the first time still had the style of the squirrel riding the cannon in the early days of Light Years. It just had an extra energy storage compartment and was covered with a layer of armor. So to be precise, it would be like a matchbox stuck on a cigar, or a long one.
Bar-shaped. The target that appeared this time is easy to describe, that is, the flying oil barrel.
In the final analysis, Chu Jungui was worried that the federal firepower was too strong, so he changed the armor of the Underworld Cannon from 40 meters to 60 meters. In this way, the Underworld Cannon, with a total length of less than 400 meters, now has a diameter of 240 meters. The two heavy ships
When the main patrol cannon comes up, you have to slowly skin the queen cannon one meter at a time. At first glance, it's a grinding effort.
The reaction of the federal fleet was extremely fast. Within half a minute, the entire fleet was moving. The main guns of half of the starships were fully charged and could be intercepted by turning around.
Countless high-energy beams formed a fire net, but were broken through by the opponent layer by layer. The front end of the Hades Cannon had been cut into an oval shape, but it was obviously still far from being penetrated.
On the orbital base, the Sword of Dawn is in a strange state. The middle and rear sections of the ship are slowly separating. However, there are still many structural parts connected in the middle. Countless engineers are flying around like worker bees to perform the separation of the ship's hull.
A big project. This is the really critical moment, but at this moment, the Queen of the Underworld strikes, and two of them come!
On the bridge of the Sword of the Dawn, the skin of Owen's right hand suddenly retracted, and his entire right hand turned into an extremely fine machine. He directly inserted his right hand into the console, instantly establishing a link with the entire starship.
The huge hull of the Sword of Dawn suddenly trembled, and the engine of the front hull suddenly started, instantly blowing hundreds of working engineers away! Some of them directly hit the rear half of the hull, and instantly turned into a thin mixture.
Paintings of metal and flesh, and some flying into space at high speeds. Although these people escaped the fate of being shattered into pieces, just looking at the acceleration, they knew that the inside of the armor must have turned into a puddle of inhuman flesh.
With the help of the huge thrust of the engine, the front hull of the Sword of Dawn successfully turned, and the huge reaction force threw the orbital base out. Its bow was already pointing in the direction of the attack of the Hades, and then the muzzle of the main gun flashed,
A raging wave of energy submerged the Underworld Cannon!
After the light passed, a Hades cannon had disappeared. Even though it could withstand the hard bombardment of several heavy cruisers, it could not block a blow from the main cannon of the battleship.
In the command module, Owen's eyes have turned silvery white, and countless data flashed inside. His face is now extremely solemn, staring at another underworld cannon. Just now, Owen used all the emergency energy reserves to reluctantly activate the main cannon.
One body was killed. But the problem was that the two underworld queens were attacking!
At this moment, the surviving Underworld Queen has broken through the federal interception fire network and reached the inner circle of the fleet. At the same time, she has also brought most of the fleet within her range!
The muzzle of the Hades Cannon finally lit up, and countless light spots were generated around it, converging towards the muzzle.
Owen's expression also became sharp, staring at the light from the muzzle of Hades' cannon.
At this moment, in Chu Jungui's consciousness, only one of the two independent visions of the underworld was left, and the energy alarm kept flashing, reminding him that there was only one cannon of energy left. However, there were three heavy cruisers within the range.
There is an orbital base, and there is also the Sword of the Dawn that is divided into two sections. The one that is closest at the moment and does not even need to be aimed is the front section of the Sword of the Dawn hull. Although the armor of the front section of the ship is the thickest, there is a third section.
According to the data from World War I, Chu Jungui knew very well that he could penetrate the armor without a shield.
The light of the underworld cannon became brighter and brighter. Just before it reached its peak, Owen's eyes suddenly flashed with cold light. All the lights in the command cabin were extinguished. Even the screens in front of most of the officers and staff were turned off. All energy sources
They all converge on the same place, the shield generator!
In an instant, the Sword of Dawn trembled slightly, everyone's hair stood on end, and a dim light began to shine on the surface of the ship. This was Owen's back-up plan!
Because the front section of the ship only accounts for two-thirds of the entire ship after the Sword of Dawn is separated, the energy required to activate the shield in an emergency is only half of the normal amount. After the shield is activated, it will take a certain amount of time to recharge to reach its peak state.
The speed depends on the level of the shield generator. The Sword of Dawn is naturally the top shield generator, and it only takes 5 minutes to charge the shield strength to the maximum.
Of course, it is impossible for the opponent to give himself 5 minutes now. Irving knows this very well, but he knows even better that the duration of one shot of the underworld cannon is as long as 12 seconds, and it only takes 5 seconds for the shield to appear from scratch. As long as the shield appears
, the power of the high-energy beam will be greatly reduced. Although it can still penetrate armor, there is not much power left. It can hit more than ten meters, and there will not be the terrifying penetration depth of more than 300 meters like last time.
The shield was raised, but Owen did not wait for the expected blow! He looked up and was shocked to find that the cannon moved slightly at the last moment, and then the torrent of energy passed by the front section of the ship.
It hit the separation surface of the rear hull!
Of course, there would be no armor layer on the separation surface, so Hades Queen's cannon blasted in solidly, going all the way in with a devastating force, penetrating the internal structure of nearly 1,000 meters, and almost blasting out from the other side.
Slowly dissipate.
After one shot, there was no movement from the Underworld Cannon, and its energy was completely bottomed out. Chu Jungui's field of vision was filled with error messages, and even his field of vision became blurry. Then he felt his eyes light up, and then completely
In the darkness, contact with the underworld cannon was lost.
Chu Jungui slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath. He first input all the recorded data into the master brain, and then analyzed the results of the battle. In fact, he did not need the master brain's conclusion. Chu Jungui could draw a rough conclusion by himself. This
Judging from the trajectory, one shot can destroy at least two engines, and it passes through the core area. Of the 70 subsystems of the starship power system and the 110 subsystems of the energy system, at least thirty or forty will be destroyed by one shot.
It was reimbursed. Moreover, this shot was deliberately aimed at the main structure of the ship. If we were lucky, the entire structure of the ship would be scrapped.
The only regret is that the beam cannon is not a particle weapon, let alone a space torpedo. It only punches a hole with a diameter of more than ten meters in the sky. The hole is deep, but it is not thick. Compared with the diameter of the ship body, which is often hundreds of meters, it can only
Consider it a small hole.
With some regret, Chu Jungui left the main brain room.
The opponent's adaptability was beyond his expectation. He actually activated the main gun and killed a Underworld Queen, which directly reduced Chu Jungui's victory by half. Otherwise, if two Underworld Queens attacked again, Chu Jungui would have to attack the front section of the ship.
Let's start. If two queens of the underworld are blasting at the same place, it will be useless even if the opponent activates the shield in an emergency.
However, this battle also gave Chu Jungui a lot of inspiration, many of which were engineering. For example, the Hades Cannon can only fire one shot anyway, so why use a qualified Alpha Core? The Alpha Core can fire hundreds of times in a row.
Well, this is a huge waste.
At this moment, Chu Jungui came up with an idea to produce a large number of Alpha cores with substandard purity. Since such cores are not of high purity, they will fragment or even melt due to impurities after dozens or even dozens of shots. But when used in the underworld,
If the rear cannons are mounted, it won't be a problem, there is no chance of them breaking apart.
Moreover, if the purity requirement for the production of components of the Alpha Core level is reduced by 1%, the production cost will plummet to one-tenth of the original value, and the production speed will be doubled.
But if a beam cannon of this quality is called the Queen of the Underworld, the Queen of the Underworld will probably be very unhappy.
Just do it, Chu Jungui threw the task to the wise man, and within an hour he had a complete and detailed production plan. In any era, wanting to improve accuracy is like climbing a mountain with bare hands, and if you lower the accuracy or purity,
It's as easy as bungee jumping.
Originally, Lightyear had already produced enough qualified Alpha cores for almost half of the Hades cannon. Now it is fully adjusting the production line, and all subsequent productions are downgraded cores. In this way, in the time that could originally produce two Hades cannons, Chu
Jun Gui can get three and a half cores.
Chu Jungui is already planning the next round of operations. This time, he will use four shoddy queens to give the federation a real surprise. Anyway, after the power cabin section was severely damaged, only the first half of the Dawn Sword escaped.
Not going anywhere. Of course, as long as the Sword of Dawn leaves the orbit of the planet, there is actually nothing Chu Jungui can do against her.
At the orbital base, Crassus came to Owen with a glass of red wine, handed the glass over, and said: "The battleship relies on the main gun, not the engine, so it is not a big deal."
Owen's face was expressionless, and he slapped the wine glass in Crassus' hand. The wine glass flew out with a roar and smashed on the floor-to-ceiling window. The wine splashed everywhere, like a blooming bloody flower.
Parked at the corner of the Federation fleet were two starships with graceful lines, but neither was very big, just destroyer level. One of them was Kun's flagship. At this moment, he was in his room, opening a window he had never used before.
Communication channel, send communication request solemnly.
After a while, a short-haired girl appeared in front of Kun. She looked at Kun with some confusion and asked: "I am Serena, who are you?"
Kun put on a bright and sunny smile on his face and said: "My name is Kun. In fact, it doesn't matter who I am. What is important is that I heard that you have a lot of shares in Light Years. Is it possible to transfer it? I am willing to pay the market price.
Acquired at a premium of 20%.”
"No sale!" Serena cut off the communication directly.
