Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 734 Mobile Aircraft Carrier
Against the dark background of the universe, flashes of explosions replaced the shining stars, but in this vast, silent hell, you won't hear any deafening noises, only the slight vibrations coming from the metal along the soles of your feet, which is a bit chilling.

Every flash of light represents the passing of life. Looking at history, one will feel that human life was worthless in ancient times.

In fact, at any time in war, human life is worthless.

But there is one person who is not panicked, not afraid, and even looks at this war from a non-serious and non-serious perspective.

This person is Fang Lanyin.

Li Chengxi has always treated these as games and fun, but it is precisely because they are fun that he takes them seriously.

But in Fang Lanyin's eyes, it was a completely different scene.

Fang Lanyin was born when her father was 55 and her mother was 48. She was the youngest sister in the family, years younger than her youngest brother.

She is favored precisely because she is the youngest, but Fang Lanyin seems to have inherited the restless blood in her family.

The five-year-old rode a children's tricycle to the edge of the floating island and almost fell off, just because she wanted to see what was at the edge of the floating island.

Fang Lanyin became interested in machinery when she watched her father working at the age of eight. She began by disassembling and assembling her own tricycle, and fell in love with the precision of the gears.

At the age of twelve, Fang Lanyin could repair all the damaged flying motorcycles driven by nearby biker gangs. When she was fifteen or sixteen, she could repair all civilian machinery. Now she often goes to the planetary defense team's starship to help. Although she has no qualifications and cannot really do it herself, she has accumulated considerable experience.

Fang Lanyin has learned a lot of skills, but has nowhere to display them in Alan Star Chain.

Her excitement was not the enthusiasm for war, but a farewell to the boring life.

So you can see that her reaction is completely different from Alyssa's.

Li Chengxi drove the Manta Ray swiftly and turned the pirates' shuttle into fireballs from time to time.

Alyssa screamed when she first got into Li Chengxi's car, while Fang Lanyin cheered, even raising her hands to cheer.

——It may also be related to the fact that orcs can withstand stress better than humans.

And Li Chengxi...

Perhaps he was encouraged, and his actions became more and more aggressive. Not only did he cooperate with the planetary defense force to encircle and suppress the pirates, he was even bold enough to rush directly into the enemy's fleet, attracting a group of firepower before dividing and annihilating them.

This is not incomprehensible.

Think about it, when you are playing games, your teammates say "You are really good", and you say to a beautiful girl next to you "You are so awesome".

Those are two completely different experiences, and for Li Chengxi, it is the latter now.

Maybe it was the effect of hormones, or maybe it was just because they were in high spirits, but the Manta Ray shuttled through the wreckage-strewn battlefield like a shooting star, becoming the brightest thing in the entire scene.

The variable wings adjusted the direction of the engine jet and cooperated with the direction control nozzle. Without the constraints of air resistance in the void, the Manta Ray could make maneuvers that were impossible for airplanes. Every orange flash represented a kill, and it also made Fang Lanyin very excited. The number of kills soon reached double digits.

The price of such a ferocious operation is also obvious.

Li Chengxi glanced at the remaining ammunition. He had just replenished his 20mm machine gun shells in the morning, but now there were only 50 rounds left.

50 shells may sound like a lot, but in reality, it’s just a matter of one or two seconds.

The Manta is a general-purpose shuttle that can do everything. The shuttles used by pirates have been specially modified by them to enhance their combat performance.

At worst, the amount of ammunition after the modification is much greater than that of the Manta.

The only downside to physical ammunition is that it is very troublesome to transport and resupply, while energy weapons are much more convenient. Thanks to Fang Lanyin who specially used the fuel tank in the cargo hold to fill up the Manta Ray with liquefied magic power during the daytime maintenance, the "fuel tank" was basically full, and the ion beam also used the energy in the fuel tank, so it was still able to fire.

Without the machine gun, we would lose the means to quickly sharpen the enemy's shield and would not be able to take down an enemy in one encounter like we did just now.

This little difficulty obviously made it impossible for Li Chengxi to turn back, but it also allowed him to withdraw from the airspace where the fighting was most intense, thinking that he could have one more fun before going back.

At this moment, he saw several severely damaged shuttles retreating from the edge of the battlefield, flying towards the depths of the dark void, and the electric sparks that flashed from time to time were very obvious.

The ion beam couldn't penetrate the shuttle's shield in one go, but it certainly wouldn't be a problem for crippling it.

Just as he was about to chase her, Fang Lanyin suddenly said:
"There must be a mothership in the direction of those shuttles."

Li Chengxi was still unclear about the rules of engagement. Sending out carrier-based aircraft to fight would only be done when the distance was very close. In this context without missiles, everyone was firing their naval guns at each other.

The damaged shuttle would naturally retreat towards its mothership, and it certainly wouldn't be too far.

When Li Chengxi saw it, he immediately realized where his last 50 machine gun shells should be used. The Manta immediately made a U-turn, relying on the floating wreckage for cover, and followed closely behind the damaged shuttles.

Although naval gun battles are exciting, the thrill of a small shuttle blowing up a battleship is obviously more attractive.

So Li Chengxi did not destroy the damaged pirate shuttles immediately, but quietly followed them for almost three minutes.

The dark and deep background of the universe seemed like a natural camouflage. It was not until he saw the lights that suddenly lit up in the darkness to assist in landing that Li Chengxi noticed the outline of the pirate ship.

It seemed to be invisible, almost melting into the deep void. The radar confused it with the surrounding asteroids and could not detect it at all. If Li Chengxi had followed it too closely, he might have crashed into it.

"It's a mobile aircraft carrier. How could it be possible that they were so close?"

The mobile aircraft carrier that Fang Lanyin mentioned is equivalent to a light aircraft carrier with about 40 to 60 aircraft on board.

Compared with warships of the same level, the main gun and secondary guns were removed, freeing up a lot of space for carrying carrier-based aircraft, spare parts, fuel, etc., specializing in carrier-based aircraft-related capabilities. Its self-defense firepower is left with manual turrets and automatic defense guns controlled by machine souls. If it is discovered by a warship, it can only passively take the attack.

This type of mobile aircraft carrier is usually deployed in combination with warships, with the warships in the front and the aircraft carrier following behind. When they get close enough, the aircraft carrier releases its carrier-based aircraft.

A single light aircraft carrier lurking in the forefront is a style of warfare that has never been seen before. For example, America's aircraft carriers never go out alone, but as a whole aircraft carrier battle group.

The onboard radar on the Manta was very simple, but the planetary defense force's radar was not so easy to fool. Even they didn't notice it. The pirates must have mastered some unique technology.

Fang Lanyin was a mechanic, so naturally she was thinking about technical matters, but Li Chengxi had only one thought in his mind.

No, I have to go.

This mobile aircraft carrier is constantly repeating the operation of retracting and launching carrier-based aircraft. There are too many enemy aircraft around, and compared with ordinary warships, the mobile aircraft carrier has stronger air defense capabilities. The disc-shaped hull is filled with large and small gun barrels of different calibers.

The reason why they were able to destroy a light cruise ship before was because the cruise ship's tail was a weak point, and the mobile aircraft carrier did not have this air defense defect. If Li Chengxi dared to go over, he would definitely be shot into a sieve.

The performance of the Manta Ray restricted Li Chengxi's performance. Even if he could avoid anti-aircraft fire and destroy the weak parts of the engine, he would not be able to escape from the pursuit and interception of twenty or thirty shuttles around him.

The situation is here. Li Chengxi is not a player like Yang Yiyi who would just rush forward and be done for. His seemingly arrogant actions are based on confidence.

In that case, retreat quickly and report the news to the Planetary Defense Force.

Just as I was about to push the throttle lever, a red attack warning indicator appeared on the screen.

Damn, discovered!
