From black technology to super engineering - #787 - Chapter 785 War Ceremony

The brilliance of countless main guns illuminated the Home’s command module like daylight.

Cao Xingyu had already left the observation window. Firstly, the bright light outside was too bright and dense, and secondly, his heartbeat was too fast – he had to admit that the feeling of seeing the main gun so close to him passing by his eyelids was unbearable at all. No less than a bullet flying in front of the nose.

It can be said that several times, he could smell death.

Of course, since he dared to come here, he was not afraid of death, but being “intimidated” like this… was a bit unbearable for everyone.

Standing back in front of the projected star map, Cao Xingyu judged the current situation at a glance.

After the battle started, more than 500 warships of the enemy they were chasing had completed their turn, and together with the support fleet from the enemy’s base camp, they were quickly encircling the Homeship’s current location.

Even though… under the intensive firepower of the Ursa Minor Fleet, the Blue Star Fleet, the Silver Moon Kingdom Fleet and the Canis Fleet, the enemy’s warships have been reduced by one-third.

At this time, even a fool can see that the enemy is determined to kill the Home.

Pursing his lips, Cao Xingyu clenched his fists vigorously. He remained silent and just stared at Halko, who was standing opposite him.

The top commander of this ship, as well as the more than fifty warships currently remaining in the Blue Star fleet, is only one person, and that is Helko.

“Move down and to the left, turn, and activate the secondary battery.”

“Be careful to avoid the enemy’s main guns.”

“Activate the shield in five seconds.”

At this time, Herko’s face had no expression, but he was still giving orders in an orderly manner.

After a moment, the energy commander’s voice came: “Roger, the shield energy can still last for twenty seconds.”

Hearing this voice, Halko’s eyes finally froze for a moment.

But soon, he made a decisive decision: “Drive right away! Speed ​​up!”

Hearing Helko’s order to open the shield to avoid the enemy’s intensive attacks, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace…

Then, Yang Wenzhi’s voice quickly sounded: “Lao Hai, the enemy’s target is you… You can evacuate.”

“Understood, I’m planning to escape.” Halko smiled softly: “But it’s hard to say whether I can escape.”

After Halko finished speaking, the light curtain in front of him began to rise for a 20-second countdown.

——Since the enemy placed its main target on the Home, all the firepower of the enemy ships has also been concentrated on the Home.

Even though there are robots connected to Aita to help control the attitude of the spacecraft, firstly, there is a delay in the robots, and secondly… the enemy’s firepower is too intensive, so the Homeship often has to rely on advance shields to withstand the attack.

However, shields require energy after all.

20 seconds is the current “invincible” limit time of the Home.

“Hold on, the artificial jump generator is about to be assembled. Hold on for another two minutes, and Mars will enter the battlefield. By then, you will be less stressed.”

“Okay!” Halko said nothing and quickly pressed the shield termination control button.

Since there are still a few minutes, the shield must be used sparingly.

However… the moment the shield was terminated, a bright light rose again.

There was a violent vibration throughout the ship, and the alarm sounded shrilly.

At this moment, Halko’s pupils shrank to the extreme! He grabbed the armrest of the chair, stood up quickly, and shouted: “Report the damage!”

Soon, a nervous and trembling voice sounded: “Sir Reiji, the eighth section of the main armor was destroyed and the signal was interrupted!”

Halko immediately looked at Cao Xingyu.

In fact, Cao Xingyu regained his footing immediately without waiting for Haierke’s instructions.

With almost no thought, he called up the external modeling diagram of the battleship drawn by Aita based on the optical detector of the fleet, and then projected the image into the command hall based on conditioned reflexes.

In the stereoscopic projection, in the rear two-thirds of the extremely huge Homeship, with the head main control cabin as the base point, a huge hole with a diameter of nearly one meter appeared near the top of the ship with a trace of firelight. .

Compared to the huge Homeship, this small hole looks very inconspicuous, but it is particularly eye-catching.

The light of the main gun passed through the observation window again.

After a second of silence, Halko took a deep breath.

“All units on the Home, prepare the escape ship, and the rest of the rules will proceed as usual.”

After finishing speaking, Halko looked at Cao Xingyu.

“Xingyu…”

“I reject.”

After being slightly stunned, Cao Xingyu shook his head firmly.

Halko exhaled slowly, then discarded his helmet, put on the military cap that symbolized his war ceremony, and then sat back in the captain’s seat.

“Get to your seats, fasten your seat belts, put on your respirator, and get ready for G-forces.”

“Frontline headquarters, prepare to accept command of the Sword of Vengeance fleet.”

After giving the order, Halko looked towards the small observation window in front of him. It was as if he could see with his naked eyes that the fierce and fearless enemy ships were constantly on fire under the joint attacks of his own fleet and friendly fleets. Like an explosion.

After a moment, a smile appeared on his lips.

“fire!”

…

…

Planet Ella, Base 31.

All the executives were on their feet at this point.

If the battle reaches this point, everyone knows that losing is definitely a loss – as of now, if calculated based on the number of the enemy’s main flagships, then the enemy has eight hundred-ship fleets in the Sophie galaxy.

Now, the enemy’s eight fleets still exist, as do the eight flagships. In terms of overall number, the number of warships on both sides has been equal.

Even, as the battle continues, the human warships… will gradually gain the upper hand, until… they win the final victory.

But this is no longer important.

The important thing is that they must destroy at least one enemy flagship.

“Fire, keep firing! Don’t let it escape!”

“Aim for the head and tail!”

Hall supported the conference table with both hands, and his whole figure looked crazy and full of pride. It seemed that at this moment he had transformed into one of those peerless heroes in classical novels who single-handedly rushed into the enemy’s formation to take the enemy’s general’s head.

Although the enemy’s flagship has not yet caught fire, and the engine is still ejecting material and accelerating, everyone knows that this battleship has been hit at least four times before.

And being hit four times, he was still able to move, which is enough to show how safe and important the design of this ship is.

Then…there must be someone up there!

Thinking of this, Hall roared again: “Hit its main control cabin, hit its engine! Blow it up for me!”

“Hall, the enemy ship has been discovered jumping!”

“Just jump, don’t care!” Hall didn’t even raise his eyelids and continued to yell: “Fuck him!”

“But… the target is huge.” Dika’s voice was slightly frightened.

The next second, he placed the recently jumped target on the projection light screen.

I saw a huge mountain-like fortress appearing out of thin air in the vast starry sky.

In front of it, the well-known human battleships looked like children’s toys in comparison.

Hall’s pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant!

He clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably!

Orbital ship! The enemy also has an orbital ship!

How could the enemy… possess such a huge orbital ship in just a few years? !

At this moment, Hall’s mind went blank.

At this moment, Chao’s voice sounded calmly.

“Hall, kill the current target first, then turn around and attack the orbital ship. Now I will let the support ship speed up and crash into it.”

“Okay!” Hall woke up instantly, pounded the conference table hard, and roared again: “Kill the flagship first, and then turn around!”

After a while, countless main guns were activated again.

Finally, a dazzling fire flashed from the engine department of the enemy’s flagship.

At the same time, the human orbital ship also emitted a boundless light.

…

…

On the Mercury, Aita’s voice kept ringing with a heart-wrenching murmur.

“Warning, main engine damaged, backup power activated.”

“Warning, the main gun energy source has been cut off and the warhead has been offline.”

“Warning, the escape pod is damaged.”

“warn……”

Everyone was silent after listening to Aita’s prompt.

Etta’s prompt was, of course, not from Mercury, but from Home.

Quietly looking at the white noise in front of him, Ye Ming’s face was extremely gloomy, and his fists were clenched tightly.

He knew that Aita’s ability to send reports was already the limit of communication.

But…that doesn’t mean that there are still living people.

Under the enemy’s almost crazy, illogical, and even desperate attack, no battleship, let alone the Home, could avoid the fate of being hit.

Even because of the safety and redundancy design of the Home, it can resist longer.

Until… its main engine was hit.

Even if he was not on the Home, Ye Ming could imagine the consequences of the engine suddenly blowing up when a battleship accelerated at a speed of three thousandths, nearly 1,000 meters per second.

This universe is all about science.

No one can withstand the G-force impact caused by such drastic changes in acceleration.

In silence, the commanders present took off their military caps one after another, and then slowly lowered their heads.
