This also made his frown never fade away since he set off.

Only then did he understand why Director Li was willing to take risks and take action personally this time.It seems that my level is not high enough and I don’t know enough. The senior officials of the empire have indeed concealed a lot of things. It’s no wonder that the royal family has always respected Xuanmen. If you think about it carefully, this is not as simple as a simple religious belief...

Yan Jishen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say a few words. Suddenly, a liaison officer came to Li Weihan and handed over a briefing on the latest information.

After briefly reading, Li Weihan smiled deeply at Yan Ji who was standing beside him and said: "The fleet received the message from Fengsui Fort, and there is still resistance there. In addition, there is good news. It is said that there is an immortal who is sitting in Fengsui Fort."

...................................................

“5、4、3、2、1……”

"put!"

Four "Flamingo 4" heavy-duty electromagnetic pulse torpedoes were released. Deng Yue'an was not prepared to let the fleet directly enter the strange spider web area ahead, but chose to fire directly to test.

Without atmospheric resistance, the torpedo, as the most commonly used vehicle in interstellar warfare, can complete long-distance tracking flights of thousands of kilometers with only a small amount of fuel. At the same time, its smaller size allows the torpedo to complete the difficult task of dozens of G's. Maneuver.

These space torpedoes quickly reach extremely high speeds driven by rocket engines and fly towards the predetermined position ahead.

Tens of seconds later, the first torpedo had entered the spider web area and finally exploded in a dense area of ​​silk threads, while the three surrounding it also detonated one after another.

Chapter 592 Attacking Fleet

Based on the information previously transmitted back from Fengsui Fort, the fleet made targeted adjustments in weapons and equipment.This powerful torpedo is actually a small nuclear weapon. After it explodes in space, because it is a vacuum environment, there is no mushroom cloud or shock wave, and its power is far less than that in the atmosphere. However, it can still release high heat, Powerful gamma rays and high-frequency electromagnetic waves, highly charged, fast-moving electrons will produce extremely powerful small magnetic fields, forming strong electromagnetic pulses.

The dazzling light flashed as the torpedo detonated, and then dimmed. The surrounding chaotic environment was like a thick layer of obstacles, constantly reducing the power of the explosion and electromagnetic waves.

Even so, under such a violent explosion, the power of the torpedo should not be underestimated. Large pieces of silk threads were obviously damaged, as if a beetle had torn a striking hole in the spider web, and a large number of silk threads were broken visible to the naked eye. damaged.The threads in the core area of ​​the explosion were completely wiped out.

Four torpedoes cleared a huge wire-free area.

At this time, the officers in the warship cabin who were watching this scene all breathed a sigh of relief, it worked!

It’s good if it’s effective, even if it’s less effective, it doesn’t matter.

However, their move obviously greatly stimulated the attention of the unknown being. Soon, the observers of the destroyers "Zhao Zhong" and "Khotan" located at the outermost edge of the formation issued an alarm to the fleet. , they discovered the UFO that was rapidly approaching the fleet using the cover of the surrounding chaotic area.

The fleet began to quickly adjust its position and spread out in a defensive formation. The destroyer formation guarded the periphery of the flagship and landing ship, facing the incoming target sideways.

12 space torpedoes were released one after another. At the same time, the ship's rail guns on both sides of the ship began to charge. This weapon is different from traditional gunpowder weapons. It is a weapon that launches tungsten or depleted uranium alloy shells through electromagnetic acceleration. .Compared with gunpowder weapons, both range and firing speed are much longer.

"2000 kilometers..."

"3000 kilometers..."

…………

"4500 kilometers..."

…………

"6000 kilometers..."

…………

"7000 kilometers, preparation for detonation..."

The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching. Because the radar was severely interfered, these torpedoes used optical mode. When the explosion was about to occur, everyone on the fleet closed their eyes. At the same time, they covered their eyes with their arms and made protective actions.

Fireballs then lit up in the distance...

....................................

On the beacon fort, Zhang Jing, who was still sitting cross-legged in the void, turned his gaze from that direction and shook his head slightly. The power of this space torpedo was indeed extremely powerful, even surpassing him to some extent. In terms of absolute damage, to be honest, even he couldn't withstand such a torpedo.

Zhang Jing does not know the mechanism of this weapon, but from the current point of view, he did underestimate the weapon system developed by modern human civilization.

However, although the absolute damage is strong, it is still useless if it cannot hit the target.Zhang Jing clearly saw that the fleet's second torpedo attack was obviously deceived by some illusions!

But the real danger is already approaching them...

While thinking about it, he turned his vision back to himself.

Compared with the initial time, the area of ​​the formation around him has been reduced by nearly one-third. The Tai Chi composed of thunder and the chaos on the periphery are wearing away like a millstone, and some weird shadows are wandering at the boundary between the two. However, As long as these shadows are close, they may be dragged back by the chains formed by the sudden surge of thunder. At this time, the tiger dragon on Zhang Jing's shoulder has also been released. As long as a monster dragged back by the thunder appears, it will He will pounce on it and tear it into pieces!

Except for the area where Zhang Jing is located, other surrounding areas are already covered with that kind of spider web-like structure. Zhang Jing can even see that in areas that cannot be touched by the array diagram, greater changes are taking place. The void and The boundaries of reality are gradually being worn away, and the existence hidden in the void is extending a considerable part of its body into the real world to project greater power.

Below Zhang Jing, a short but fierce defensive battle had just ended. Some soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Zhang Jing noticed that there were even soldiers behind the bunker with their left hands and right hands, seeming to be bowing in his direction and muttering something. What are you wearing?This is a typical Taoist etiquette. In Taoism, it means that all things carry yin and embrace yang. This etiquette is often used when praying in palaces.

The battlefield, a place of life and death, places great physical and psychological pressure on soldiers, especially when they are faced with strange creatures beyond recognition. It is extremely normal to pray for religious comfort.

There was a strong vibration on his knees. Zhang Jing withdrew his gaze and turned to the Tianchu Sword on his knees. The formation he used at this time actually aroused the power of the Tianchu Sword, which did not put any pressure on him. Big, this is why he can be so calm and calm at this time.

Even until now, he has consciously limited the power of the Tianchu Sword and maintained an overall state of being suppressed by the opponent.However, the Tianchu Sword at this time obviously did not want to be suppressed forever. Zhang Jing could feel the impatient excitement in the long sword.

"Wait a minute..." Zhang Jing reached out and patted the sword on his lap, squinting at the chaos in the distance.

.............................................................................................

The fire in the distance is gradually dimming, and the scorching heat is accompanied by electromagnetic pulses sweeping across everything in front. The preliminary damage assessment has come out, and the enemy targets in the target area have disappeared.

This result made many officers, including Deng Yue'an, feel excited. Facts have proved that human weapons have powerful destructive capabilities against these monsters!

Some officers already had smiles on their faces.

However, in the next moment, their smiles froze.

A shrill alarm sounded on each warship, and a large number of unknown targets were discovered again. However, this time, they did not appear tens of thousands of kilometers away from the fleet, but appeared directly less than 50 kilometers away from the edge of the fleet. within the area.

A large number of monsters like swarms swarmed out from such a close distance and rushed towards the fleet!

too close!It's so close!

Deng Yue'an issued continuous orders to deploy the fleet to immediately launch close defensive operations.

Chapter 593 An unexpected surprise attack

In the cosmic age, this distance can almost be said to be close to the face. It has broken through all peripheral and even middle air defense circles and directly entered the short-range air defense range of the fleet.

At such a short distance, powerful weapons such as heavy electromagnetic pulse torpedoes are completely ineffective, and there are even many other weapons that have lost the conditions for use before they are used.These overly powerful weapons will also cause damage to one's own ships if used at too close a distance.

The fully charged ship-mounted rail gun began to fire. This weapon, which uses electromagnetic force acceleration as a driving force, has powerful destructive power when facing physical enemies.Only this time, the incoming enemy seemed to have no actual form, and the railgun's shells caused extremely limited damage when faced with such opponents.

In fact, it is not the first time for human beings today, especially when facing special agencies such as the Fourth Division of the Special Crime Investigation Bureau of the Imperial Ministry of Justice, to face such incorporeal monsters.However, due to confidentiality considerations, this is indeed the first time for most fleet crew members to encounter such an opponent.

Fortunately, when we boarded the ship, Director Li of the Fourth Branch of the Special Crime Investigation Bureau proposed to arrange some subordinates with "experienced special operations" to go to each ship. At that time, he proposed that in case special creatures boarded the ship. , these people can strengthen the internal defense of the starship.

This was originally a casual move. After all, if that kind of thing really happened, it meant that the fleet's defense network had been completely breached and the entire fleet was on the verge of life and death.

However, at this time, these people really had an effect.

"Mr. Captain, please listen to what I have to say."

In the command tower of the destroyer "Lishan", Zhu Xuting was standing not far from the captain Huang Hai, observing the scene outside through the huge porthole of the command tower.

When he boarded the ship, he was assigned to the destroyer "Lishan". At this time, other of his subordinates were arranged in the next cabin and could provide nearby support at any time.

Seeing what was happening outside the porthole, Zhu Xuting couldn't help but said directly: "We have faced similar demons before. These demons have no specific form, such as physical strike weapons such as gunpowder weapons. There is not much to them." It has a big effect. Correspondingly, energy strikes such as jets, flames, high heat, and magnetic storms may have an effect on them. I suggest you adjust the weapon type."

Captain Huang Haizhong is a quite talkative person. He had chatted with Zhu Xuting for a long time, half out of politeness and half out of curiosity, especially about some of Zhu Xuting's and others' previous experiences in performing special missions. Quite interested.

Originally, everyone at the Fourth Branch of the Special Crime Investigation Bureau was extremely cautious when talking about such topics, but this time, due to the needs of the mission, they also needed to provide urgent science education to these fleet-related personnel who originally knew nothing about it. Some knowledge that might save lives in the future, so he chose to talk about what he thought was important without concealing it.

Therefore, in the eyes of these fleet members, Zhu Xuting, a member of the "special department" who was full of mystery in their eyes, naturally became a so-called "professional".

Therefore, when he reminded him at this time, Captain Huang Haizhong did not show much resistance and immediately adjusted his strategy, and the new order was immediately issued.

The multiple rows of lasers arranged on the side of the destroyer were immediately turned on, and several sword-like beams of light shone forward.At the same time, a dozen chunky, meteorite-shaped objects were continuously ejected from the side of the destroyer.

After these objects were ejected, the rocket engines at their tails started immediately, pushing them farther away...

Just when these meteorite-like objects flew to a distance of about [-] kilometers from the fleet, they came into contact with the forwards of those monsters. After about a few breaths, a violent explosion occurred, and these meteorite-like objects directly exploded violently. explode.

The "Meteorite 2 Space Mine" is a highly controversial weapon because humans have not directly participated in any real space wars before, and all weapons are basically produced during exercises and deductions.The space mines used this time are weapons of this type.

The appearance of space mines is designed in the shape of meteorites. Their original function is to be deployed near the enemy's important waterways or ports. The shape of the meteorites allows them to avoid enemy observation, and then gives them the opportunity to approach enemy ships or important enemy space facilities and detonate them. and destroy it.

However, this weapon that has not been used in actual combat was once regarded as useless, because the concept of this weapon originated from the mines in the navigation era. However, the area of ​​the universe is countless times that of the ocean, and it is easier to observe. During war, the enemy remains vigilant. Under such circumstances, these weapons disguised as meteorites may not have the opportunity to easily approach the opponent. Even in the vast universe, the chance of encountering the opponent is very slim.

In any case, it was indeed deployed on the destroyer as a weapon. At this moment, Captain Huang Haizhong, who was familiar with all the weapons on his ship, made his most correct choice since the battle!

Intense scorching heat was accompanied by an electromagnetic pulse that erupted about 25 kilometers away from the destroyer. For a destroyer, this was an extremely dangerous distance.Although the space mine is not as powerful as the "Flamingo 2" heavy-duty electromagnetic pulse torpedo as a nuclear weapon, it explodes because the imaginary target it faces is a heavily armed enemy warship and a well-defended aviation infrastructure. The power is also quite impressive.

Especially at a distance of 25 kilometers, almost at the moment of the explosion, the alarm in the destroyer began to whistle rapidly.

Just before the explosion, the destroyer Lishan, under the order of Captain Huang Haizhong, began emergency defense operations against electromagnetic pulses.

The sides of the destroyer's hull began to rapidly release plasma, a new material that can defend against electromagnetic pulses.When an electromagnetic pulse interacts with a plasma, the plasma has completely different properties than a general conductor or medium.

Under certain conditions, plasma can reflect high-power microwaves and absorb electromagnetic pulses, so that the microwave power transmitted into electronic equipment is lower than the interference or damage threshold; when the incident angle of high-power microwaves changes, plasma can change the intensity of electromagnetic pulses. Propagation direction to avoid damage to electronic equipment.

Even so, because the distance is too close, some more sensitive electronic devices will inevitably be damaged.

Chapter 594 Large Angle Maneuvering

Instrument damage warnings sounded throughout the ship, and all cabins were urgently assessing the damage.At the same time, damage control teams wearing special armbands began to rush into various key cabins to start emergency repairs.

Facts have proved that Captain Huang Haizhong's response at the critical moment had an excellent effect. A large number of monsters on the side of the destroyer Lishan were severely damaged, and a large number of smaller monsters at the front were almost wiped out. And empty.

Just taking a look at the results of the attack, and not even waiting for the damage to be assessed, Captain Huang Haizhong issued the follow-up order.

More than a dozen "Meteorite Type 2 Space Mines" were ejected, and soon, another round of explosions occurred!

However, on the other side of the fleet, the destroyer Changshan used more conventional close-defense methods. Rapid-fire cannons and laser weapon systems were used to attack the incoming monsters. However, the effect was obviously inferior to Li's. There are many mountain horns, and monsters that have broken through the defense network have come very close to them.

At this time, fleet commander Deng Yue'an also noticed the Lishan's successful method and immediately reported it to all ships. However, there was a certain delay in the ships relying on light communication to receive the signal. Although each ship then adjusted to defend. Strategy, a large number of space mines were thrown out, but serious consequences have already occurred!

At this time, sporadic monsters have already broken through the restrictions of the fleet's air defense circle. If the defenders on the Beacon Fort are present, they will definitely be able to identify these monsters as the "ghosts" they have dealt with many times.

The crew members were horrified to find that these incorporeal "ghosts" could directly break through the thick armor of the warship as if they were nothing, rush into the interior of the ship, and then grab the crew members they could find along the way, and then rush out from there. The other side of the ship roared out.

At this time, the rest of the fleet can often see a terrifying scene, which is a still struggling human figure, being dragged by the monster to fly in the universe, and then torn apart. Devouring them to pieces, the monster will then continue its second round of impact, looking for the next victim...

The internal defense forces of the fleet have also begun to operate. However, they soon discovered that firearms and weapons had no effect on these monsters. Bullets penetrated these incorporeal monsters and could not cause damage to them. On the contrary, the shooter would cause the opponent to attention, thereby being attacked.

At this time, the personnel of the Fourth Branch of the Special Crime Investigation Bureau who were arranged on the warship in advance played a considerable role. Among their equipment was an enhanced version of the electromagnetic rifle. Compared with the electromagnetic rifle equipped in small quantities by the Earth Defense Force, Their weapons have been specially improved and are not only smaller in size and can be carried by one person, but their power has not been weakened.

However, even so, when faced with this extremely fast monster that often bursts out of the bulkhead suddenly, leaving no one with time to react, the attrition caused is still extremely terrifying!

"Don't stop! Keep firing, don't let them rush over!!!" Cooperating with a subordinate, two electromagnetic rifles focused their fire and tore apart a "ghost" that had almost rushed in front of him. Zhu Xuting turned his head loudly and faced The weapons operator on the side shouted, his body trembling slightly.

The weapons operator's forehead was covered with sweat at this time, and his hands were indeed continuing the operation process without stopping. However, at this moment, another ghost rushed out from the bulkhead behind him!

This is not the direction in which the destroyer Lishan is facing the enemy. This ghost probably broke through the defense lines of other destroyers and then went around to the other side of the Lishan to launch an attack. We are just discussing at this time which friendly ship "slip through the net" "It was meaningless. When everyone was caught off guard, the ghost's claws swept across the weapons operator, and then rushed out from the other side of the destroyer...

The weapons operator immediately fell down on the operating table, with a look of horror still on his face.

Fortunately, the ghost was captured by the laser on the Lishan before it could turn around after rushing out of the Lishan, and was then burned in the air.

Unfortunately, this was already the fallen No. 2 weapon operator. Even so, the No. 3 weapon operator immediately stepped forward without saying a word and began to take over the work of his comrade, and the sacrificed weapon operator The body was placed next to him.

Strictly speaking, this is the first true interstellar war that the human world has faced.

The war has already reached its climax at the very beginning!

Fortunately, things seemed to be developing in a good direction. As the ghosts that broke through the front line were eliminated one after another, and under the continuous suppression of the surrounding electromagnetic pulses, the monsters had shown themselves to be powerless.

Of course, the fleet also paid a considerable price. In addition to the deaths of personnel, almost every warship suffered a certain degree of damage. This is an inevitable consequence of detonating space mines at close range.

Fortunately, electromagnetic pulse attacks are the main means of interstellar warfare, and current warships have considerable response to this, such as the use of shielding materials, the installation of filtering equipment, etc., which makes the damage generally within the acceptable range. .

In the control tower of the Songyue, Deng Yue'an was still looking at the scene outside the porthole with a solemn expression.

Suddenly, he issued a new order: "Recalculate the cosmic background spectrum and magnetic field change parameters in the surrounding area, pay attention to whether there are any special circumstances that exceed the average, and report to me any anomalies found."

Then, he quickly received a reply: "Your Excellency, Commander, the electromagnetic pulse interference we have received is too severe and we are unable to conduct calculations now."

Deng Yue'an sighed slightly when he heard this, and gave the order again: "Turn quickly, left rudder 90 degrees, tilt 40 degrees downward, sail at full power..."

Soon, the entire fleet began to turn. Carrying out such large-angle maneuvers in battle was not a pleasant experience. This meant that there may be more flaws in the formation. From this, the angle of attack when facing monsters Deviations had to occur, which also meant more casualties.

However, this is the army. Once an order is given, it needs to be carried out even if it is not understood.

Soon, Deng Yue'an's new order was issued: "Turn quickly, right rudder 70 degrees, upward bias 30 degrees..."

At this time, many crew members in the fleet had already noticed that the commander was leading the fleet to maneuver at a large angle.

But why do you do this? Are you avoiding something?

A few senior officers have begun to realize the problem, but most of the crew are still focusing on the monsters that have not been completely defeated.
