Chapter 1290 Meteor airborne, storm landing battle (4)
Depleted uranium bombs are generally artillery shells made of uranium 238. This stuff has high density, high hardness, and high toughness. It will 'self-sharpen' during flight. When it hits the target, it will vaporize and burn rapidly. It also has a 'self-ignition' effect. It can be said that it is Armor-piercing, burning and blasting in one go.
But this thing has a slight flaw.
Uranium-238 is a by-product of the huge nuclear industry. Without the nuclear industry to engage in it, it would be self-destructive. In addition, it contains radiation.
Although the radiation is very low, long-term exposure is definitely not acceptable.
America was in a dark mood every day, but the American soldier said that I was the radiation engineer?
Generally, the cannon shell chain of a space fighter consists of one tracer bullet, one high-explosive bullet, and two armor-piercing bullets to ensure the firepower configuration.
But Li Chengqi has complained more than once that the power of machine guns is too low, especially armor-piercing projectiles.
The cannon armor-piercing bullet used by Alyssa can be simply and crudely regarded as a piece of iron. It is definitely no problem to put it on the earth to fight an aircraft, but there is a shield here.
The armor-piercing ability of pure iron bullets is extremely poor. Li Chengqi wouldn't say anything if it has sub-caliber armor-piercing bullets. Damn it, it's like scraping.
So whether it was the Lionfish or the Manta Ray, Li Chengqi replaced the armor-piercing part of the cannon shell chain with high-explosive shells. It couldn't penetrate anyway, so it was better to use high-explosive shells to chip away at the shield, and then use the ion beam to take it away. .
However, when depleted uranium bombs that can penetrate armor, burn and explode in one go are added to the sequence, the situation is different.
The space fighter is too fast, and the shooting window is fleeting. The cannons with high firing rates generally cannot hit a few hits. As long as they are not continuously being fired, the space fighter's shield can withstand it.
When depleted uranium bombs are hit, it only takes one or two rounds to easily tear apart the shield and cause irreparable damage to the internal structure of the fighter. If it takes a few more rounds, it is not surprising that it will be broken into pieces on the spot.
Li Chengqi jerked the joystick, causing the lionfish to do a very lion-like head-bobbing motion, and the two fire dragons were thrown out on the spot.
The accuracy is not high, and the rate of fire is low. Almost in the blink of an eye, five or six space fighters that could not be avoided were destroyed.
This efficiency is definitely not as good as that of a missile pod, but it can be used to open cans.
For example, behind the space fighter, there is a battle cruiser with a large shield and a hard shield. It also sweeps away a shield that is silent and cannot be exploded by missiles. Depleted uranium bombs are almost useless.
Of course, Li Chengqi took the lead and rushed up alone, and the number of fighters of the Red Maple Republic that have taken off now has exceeded 400. The loss of a few space fighters is not painful at all.
Without a moment to mourn the death of his comrades, a formation of three space fighters approached from behind and above the Lionfish.
This is more or less like my teammates resisting and beating me up to deal damage.
Li Chengqi immediately flipped the fuselage and jerked the flight joystick. With the help of the purple flash of forced turning, the Lionfish drew a C-shaped trajectory and forcibly avoided the BZ attack of the three-plane formation.
The opponent also turned immediately. Since the current battle between space fighters is actually a dogfight in a circle, all space fighters have enhanced their turning performance compared to speed.
Besides, there are many friendly forces around, so there are plenty of opportunities to attack.
That's true, but this three-machine formation has no chance.
Two pink beams suddenly shot out from the dark cosmic background, accurately hitting the wingmen on the left and right sides. They did not explode on the spot because they were blocked by the shield, but they were already stuck in spin.
The lead aircraft in the middle wanted to maneuver to dodge, but suddenly saw a network of several pink light beams appearing in front of him, covering the direction of his advance like a cage. Ordinary space fighters do not have the ability to turn at sharp angles like a lionfish. The lead aircraft hit it on the spot and was cut into several pieces in an instant, and then turned into a cosmic fireworks.
The Lionfish has already turned back, jumping up and down among the guns with amazing ultra-high maneuverability. Any enemy aircraft in front of the Lionfish will first have to face the firepower output of two 30mm rotary cannons. , this means that there is no medium in the void and sound cannot be transmitted, otherwise they will hear the terrifying scream of "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong The fighter planes are a bit overqualified.
One thing to say, the cannon is indeed very exciting, especially when the shells are ejected when it is fired. Li Chengqi can squat in front of the monitor and watch it all day.
But this thing has a shortcoming that cannot be made up for.
Not enough ammo.
If you don't let go of the trigger, the logistics will definitely scold you, reloading for hours, and pretending to be cool for a minute.
The rate of fire is really too high. No matter how many shells there are, it is not enough to fire it. Moreover, the backpack created by Li Chengqi does not have magic settings such as space pockets. The total ammunition in the ammunition box does not even have 2,000 rounds. Even if Li Chengqi tried his best to shoot, but within one minute of the game, he was empty-handed.
But it doesn't matter, the cannon is gone, we have others.
At this time, Li Chengqi had penetrated very deep into the aircraft group, and it could be said that there were enemies everywhere.
At first, people didn't swarm him, but when they saw the lionfish misfiring, they knew it had run out of ammunition, so they all swooped down from above, forming four formations to catch Li Chengqi.
With a slight explosion, the two cannons were ejected together with the ammunition boxes, and the original positions of the cannons on the Lionfish's back now revealed two rectangular holes.
Immediately afterwards, two things that looked like arms stretched out from the hole, spreading their fingers towards the enemy planes diving from different directions above.
Each finger shot out a slender beige ion beam. With the slight movement of the fingers, the ion beam also stirred. The four space fighter formations were instantly strangled and turned into a row of orange flashes.
Immediately, the floating cannon that had just gone out returned to the bottom of the backpack to recharge, and the two arms flew out from the holes in the backpack, with two ultra-thick cables trailing under the wrists.
This thing is a trial version of the mental power Zaku's arm, which can be used as a line cannon. It is a countermeasure that Li Chengqi made to reduce costs.
Now Li Chengqi installs a backpack on the Lionfish, which is directly removed from the customized model. When the ammunition and energy are empty, he just throws it away.
Although he doesn't care about the money spent on buying models, doing this over and over again is not a long-term solution. The main reason is that creating a new backpack consumes the energy of the Swan every time. It is fine in the base at ordinary times, but once it is in combat mode, It would be inappropriate for Li Chengqi to use this energy again.
So a reusable method is needed.
So Li Chengqi found an online shop for custom-made models and told them to put two arms on my backpack.
Li Chengqi’s idea is that with arms, the lionfish can use gunpla weapon accessories. Li Chengqi now has a lot of these at home. Putting the accessories in will save energy consumption than stuffing them into a backpack. .
The store says there's no problem, so just ask.
People have such a good attitude, probably because Li Chengqi is very handsome.
For example, when paying.
