Under the dark sky, the expedition fleet was ready to go. Outside the portholes, the dark red profile lights of friendly ships flickered on and off.
Gao Kai waved his arms and roared: "I emphasize again, our mission is to destroy, do you understand destruction? It is not to destroy the alien fleet but to destroy Europa. Everything must revolve around the core of destruction. You all understand.
No?"
"clear!"
"Set off!"
Fuel balls were ejected from the depths of the main thrusters of each ship at the same time. The laser flashed and the fuel balls exploded instantly. Each fuel ball exploded like a firecracker behind the tail of the battleship. Ten battleships advanced at the same time. The micro-nuclear
Exploding flashes of light come and go, and apart from being a little drab in color, they are no worse than holiday fireworks.
The battleship continued to accelerate amidst the slight vibrations caused by the explosion, speeding towards Europa, which was millions of kilometers away.
The expedition fleet has been under the surveillance of aliens. As soon as the operation started, it attracted the attention of aliens. According to the flight direction of the expedition fleet, the aliens determined that the human target was Europa in a very short period of time.
The alien fleet on Io immediately took off, and hundreds of warships entered the atmosphere. However, the alien fleet did not stay conservatively near Io and wait for the expedition fleet. Instead, it immediately set sail and rushed towards the expedition fleet.
Gao Kai, who witnessed this scene, sneered: "An attack against an attack? What a beautiful idea!"
"Commander, the observation team reported that the enemy ships on Jupiter's moon also took off, flying in the direction of Jupiter."
"time?"
"About eight hours."
"Continue to observe!" Gao Kai remained calm, but he quickly made calculations in his mind.
It will take approximately six and a half hours for the expedition fleet to arrive at Jupiter. Ninety minutes is enough time for the expedition fleet to completely raze Jupiter to the ground. As long as the enemy forces on the front are eliminated, the expedition fleet will face the undefended Jupiter.
zero!
Thinking of this, Gao Kai said: "Chief of Staff, just keep an eye on me. I'll close my eyes for a while. If you need anything, call me... let everyone take turns to rest. It's still early to leave, so don't be so nervous."
"Okay." Lu Zuo nodded in agreement.
The actions of both parties are under the supervision of the other party. There is no secret at all. It is not too late to wake Gao Kai if anything unusual is discovered.
In fact, Gao Kai couldn't sleep at all. The reason why he did this was to tell everyone through actions that there was no need to worry about the next battle.
He originally just closed his eyes and pondered his thoughts, but unexpectedly he actually fell asleep after a while, until Lu Zuo woke him up.
"How long have I slept?" Gao Kai asked.
"Three hours, and in half an hour we will collide with the alien fleet." Lu Zuo said with a smile.
"It's time to get up then." Gao Kai rubbed his face, "What is the relative speed now?"
"One hundred and eighty."
"It's fleet hedging again... Haha, isn't this similar to the Battle of Kuanglan?"
Lu Zuo also smiled: "It's quite similar."
"Then follow the planned tactics...Is there no fleet at Jupiter Zero?"
"The front is gone." Lu Zuo said.
"Aliens can't be so stupid." Gao Kai said, "Inform the troops that they are not allowed to approach Europa under any circumstances without my order!"
The alien fleet all flew away from Europa. It looked like they were going to fight the expedition fleet to death, but with a little thinking, you can figure out that the aliens' actions were completely unreasonable.
The entire alien fleet has left Europa, and there is nothing to say about defending against the enemy. The problem is that using hedging tactics is inappropriate. The expedition fleet does not need to worry about the alien fleet at all, as long as it avoids the alien fleet's route, it can rush directly.
Io, and the alien fleet even braked, turned around, and then accelerated again. By the time they got back to Io, the day lily was cold.
Based on this, Gao Kai judged that the aliens must have left some back-up on Io, such as another fleet hiding behind Io that the expedition fleet could not see, or Io's anti-aircraft firepower being particularly outstanding.
In short, Gao Kai never believed that aliens would be stupid enough to leave Europa there.
The distance between the two fleets was getting closer and closer, and their flight trajectories were highly overlapping. It would not be long before they collided with each other. Gao Kai did not want to get into unnecessary entanglements, so he ordered: "Inform all ships, don't move the cannons, and fire a round of missiles."
, and with a few rounds of rapid-fire cannons, hurry up and complete the derailment!"
The order was conveyed to each ship, and the 1020 rapid-fire cannons on the ten warships turned their muzzles and fired a series of angry shells at the enemy forces hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
Forty missiles followed closely behind, flying towards the alien warship at high speed.
After completing the first round of strikes, the expedition fleet immediately implemented maneuvers to avoid the front of the alien fleet.
Then there was another round of rapid-fire cannon, the muzzle of the gun shone with dense fire, and the shells that came out of the barrel hit the alien fleet like raindrops all over the sky.
Upon discovering that the expedition fleet had changed direction, the alien fleet immediately made adjustments and continued to block the expedition fleet directly in front.
Gao Kai simply ordered the fleet to stop shooting, and each ship made irregular direction changes.
No matter how strong the observation ability of aliens is, it is impossible to predict the movement direction of human battleships, right? When two fleets encounter each other, the probability of passing by is much higher than that of the battleships colliding.
Due to the large maneuver of the alien battleship, all the first batch of shells failed. After more than ten seconds, the second batch of shells spilled into the alien fleet. Unfortunately, two alien battleships were hit, and two bright flames exploded on the spot.
Although it failed to destroy it, it still penetrated the armor of the alien battleship, leaving a bullet hole as deep as two people.
If you don't know what's going on, it may be difficult to believe that a small rapid-fire cannon can cause such results, but if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising.
The 1020 rapid-fire gun is a 10-tube 20mm rapid-fire gun with a maximum rate of fire of 9,000 rounds per minute and an average of 150 rounds per second!
This kind of rapid-fire cannon originating from surface ships is mainly used for anti-missile, also known as close-in defense cannon. Not to mention the general situation, no one would use this thing to attack warships in most situations.
However, in the special environment of space, it is not impossible to use small-caliber close-in defense guns as offensive weapons.
There is no need to consider the issue of radioactive contamination in the universe, so the 1020 close-in defense gun is equipped with powerful depleted uranium shells with a warhead weighing about 150 grams.
The current relative speed of the two fleets is 180 kilometers per second. According to the kinetic energy formula, it can be calculated that the energy generated by the shell hitting the alien warship is close to the explosive power of 600 kilograms of TNT, which is enough to cause damage to the alien warship.
Until this moment, the aliens did not know what they were hit by. They only knew that they were attacked, so they immediately fired thin lights in the direction of the human fleet. The dense thin lights formed a defensive light network, but how could the light network be able to withstand the shells?
?
Unfortunately, the hit rate of the shells is too low and the power is not very good, so it cannot threaten the safety of alien warships.
But the missiles that followed were different. Although the number of these missiles was small, their speed was no slower than artillery shells. The alien's optical network only blocked a few missiles, and the remaining more than 30 missiles all hit the target.
