Chapter 235 Attack on the Return Trip (Part [-])
The order was quickly conveyed, but the order was questioned by the captain of the merchant ship.The defense cover of the base ship is strong, but not on the merchant ship!Their defensive shields can't even hold a single shot of the main gun.In order not to become cosmic debris, these people immediately contacted the command center, and the liaison officer became flustered for a while.The center gave them the answer that it must be carried out. The captains had no other choice. If they left the Habitat, the protection result would be unquestionable. Therefore, despite objections, they still obeyed the order.

The spaceship intercepted in front saw the fleet rushing over, and a dozen ships far away from ten times the range began to shell.

The light beams and energy clusters emitted by energy weapons will slowly attenuate as the distance increases in space. They can guarantee sufficient lethality within the range, but if they exceed the range too much, they will have no power at all.

Ten times the range, the destructive power of the main gun may only "blow" a piece of cloth, but it is not a small deterrent to those staying in the merchant ship. Someone actually asked the Habitat to fight back immediately through the liaison officer.

The range of the [-] neutron beam cannons on the Habitat is much longer than the main cannons on ordinary spaceships, but that is only about twice the range of these main cannons. It is a waste of energy to counterattack at such a long distance.

As the armed ships ahead opened fire, the unknown spaceships surrounding the fleet slowly approached the center.

The ships made some provocative maneuvers with their speed and agility, but none of them dared to get too close.

The ten torpedo-shaped spaceships following behind the fleet fired a few shots from time to time. Because the distance was much closer, these shellings could occasionally spark a burst of light on the defensive shields on the merchant ships.This is a normal reaction after the interaction of the two energies, but the people on several merchant ships couldn't hold their breath anymore, and someone asked Sun Xiang to hide in the Habitat.

Now is the time of war, of course it is impossible to let them enter the Habitat, Sun Xiang assured them that he would protect their safety, and only then calmed down the panic of these people a little.

Escorting merchants is not easy. These people will panic when there is any trouble, and they don’t like to obey the unified command. If the captains of the merchant ships are not experienced, some merchant ships may have already escaped from the protection area of ​​the Habitat. At that time, it would be a dead end. one.

Seeing that the Habitat did not respond to those provocative spaceships, several ships became even more arrogant. Relying on their quick turn and speed, they ran to the limit of the range of the beam cannon on the Habitat to fire a few shots, and then immediately shrank back. went back.

Fire at this distance can cause the defensive cover on the merchant ship to flash sharply every time, and it seems that it can break through those fragile defenses at any time.In fact, with this level of attack, even if the merchant ship does not open the defensive cover, it will be fine if it takes a few hits.Sun Xiang and the others knew about it, but the merchants in the merchant ship didn't understand. The liaison officer was flustered again. Sun Xiang ordered the liaison officer to comfort these merchants, but he ignored it.

Claude rolled his eyes a few times, and suggested to Sun Xiang: "Those bastards are too arrogant. Otherwise, firing a few shots at the nearest ones can also stabilize the mood of those merchants, and don't let them think that we are Nothing at all."

Sun Xiang was right after thinking about it, and agreed to his suggestion.

The fire control system is currently controlled by Xiaoniao. As long as the command is given, it will control the weapons on the ship to automatically lock and attack the target.

Claude said fiercely to the bird: "Fire!"

Twelve neutron beam cannons immediately moved from their hiding places along the track to the attacking position.In four or five seconds, the beam turret changed from standby to locked state.

Twelve beams of light shot towards three targets one after another. The three armed ships that were targeted were either far or near. The closest ship was given special attention, and the five beams of light went towards it.

When the first beam of light hit it, the spaceship's defensive cover fluctuated violently, and the four subsequent beams of light hit it almost indiscriminately, and the spaceship's defensive cover was instantly broken.A few seconds later, the entire spaceship was shaken, and continuous and violent explosions spread. Finally, after a burst of dazzling flashes, the spaceship shattered into fragments and blasted around. Only the original spaceship was left behind. One-third the size of the wreckage.

The other two ships were "taken care of" by four and three beam cannons respectively. Since they were located far beyond the range, after being hit by the beam cannons, only their energy defense shields were broken, and the hulls were minimally damaged, but not affect flight.

Even so, the two ships ran fast, and slowed down after running ten times the range. The shelling of the Habitat taught them a lesson. Arrogance has a price to pay.

Seeing that one of their spaceships had been destroyed, the interceptors immediately stopped their provocative actions.

Ten spaceships in front suddenly separated out, they bypassed Sun Xiang's fleet, and followed behind the fleet.

Everyone in the command center knew that they would not send ten ships to the back for no reason, there must be some action to do so.

The big screen in front of everyone is always monitoring the actions of these spaceships.As everyone expected, the heads of the ten spaceships split open suddenly, and cylindrical gun barrels protruded from the cracks. Thirty gun barrels protruded from the ten spaceships in total.

In the current era of energy weapons, it is rare to see such a hollow barrel, and it is such a large barrel.From the auxiliary equipment around the barrel, it can be seen that these guns are electromagnetic rail guns. They can use magnetic force to push metal projectiles forward, and the exit speed is many times faster than the shells propelled by guns on the earth. Energy weapons approach the speed of light much slower.

Railguns use solid projectiles. No matter how far away they are, as long as they are within the flight trajectory of the projectile, they can be counted as within the range. However, because the projectile speed is too slow, especially in space, the distance between the spaceships is tens of thousands. Tens of millions of kilometers are calculated, and even the light needs to run for a few seconds or ten seconds. The time required for the projectile fired by the railgun to reach the target is calculated in minutes. For such a long time, the target has long been It can hide from a long distance, so this weapon has not been used for direct attack in actual combat for a long time.Some minelaying ships in some armies are equipped with some, and they can carry out long-distance minelaying under some special circumstances.

Are these ships going to attack the fleet with rail guns?However, under the current distance, it takes at least two minutes for the railgun projectile to fly such a long distance. Even if the fleet turns slowly, it will be able to hide for such a long time. These attackers will not be unaware.

Since they showed the weapon after losing a ship, there must be something special about it.

Those ten spaceships didn't make everyone wait too long. It was obvious from the screen that the hulls of these spaceships shook one after another.
