Chapter 39 Broken Satellite in Ancient Battlefield (please subscribe)
Half an hour later, the fleet passed through the wormhole. After the turbulent energy tide, the battleship radar immediately scanned the starry sky 10,000 kilometers away. Two pirate cruisers and 17 pirate gunboats were chasing the first one to cross. Destroyer and 5 frigates.
"The fleet is ready for battle!"
Li Qing looked at the communication screen sent by the fleet in front and immediately ordered the fleet to prepare for combat.
The captain of the destroyer under temporary command did not confront the pirates head-on, but fought and retreated. By flying a kite faster than the wild monster pirate fleet, he had already escaped for almost an hour and a half.
As soon as the fleet communication was connected, Li Qing immediately ordered the forward fleet to return to join him, and the headquarters fleet quickly stepped forward to respond.
Although these two pirate cruisers are cruisers, they are just destroyer-modified cruisers, and they cannot compare with him in terms of quantity or quality.
As the two sides approached, the hulls of the five destroyers flew sideways and diagonally, causing one of their guns to be pointed forward and start accumulating energy.
Twenty-one frigates left five escorting destroyers in front, and the remaining seventeen ships were divided into two groups, eight on the left and nine on the right to meet them.
The fifth-generation weapon itself has a longer range, and has a 20% range bonus from the psyker. While the enemy ship is still accelerating towards the enemy ship, the cannon that has been charged up early has already fired in advance.
A series of fire and six dazzling beams exploded, directly across the void and severely hitting a pirate-modified cruiser. The terrifying kinetic energy and neutron plume directly tore apart the energy shield of the pirate cruiser. The remaining power tore open the alloy armor and shattered the alloy armor. Debris flew.
The five destroyers have a total of 12 L-slot main guns, six of which are advanced kinetic energy rail guns, and the other six are neutron launchers, which can emit powerful neutron plumes.
There are a total of 60 M medium weapon slots, half of which are 30 are equipped with fifth-generation electromagnetic guns, and the other half are equipped with fifth-generation laser cannons.
Twelve L-slot main guns concentrated fire, almost tearing apart the armor of the modified pirate cruiser.
Fortunately, it has been modified and strengthened. If it is a destroyer, this firepower can directly tear open the armor.
After a round of shelling, they also entered the range of two modified pirate cruisers. As the dazzling light lit up, a total of fourteen dazzling lasers traversed the void, while eight missiles flew over with long tail flames.
There was a flash of white light, and fourteen laser beams hit the No. 3 destroyer hard. The huge power tore the No. 3 destroyer's shield on the spot, leaving fourteen melting holes half a meter deep in the armor.
The eight missiles arrived first, but were intercepted by the flame barrage of the P-slot close-in defense system launched by four frigates midway, and were destroyed midway.
"Destroyer No. 3 retreats, everyone, move forward!"
The L slot main gun has a range of up to 1,500 kilometers, and the M medium slot weapon has a range of about 500 kilometers. Although the opponent is a cruiser, it is just a modified destroyer, and its firepower is not as good as a real cruiser. In this regard, he has an advantage, so naturally he has Take advantage of this.
Soon the two sides entered the range of medium weapons, and Li Qing's side used the psyker's 20% range bonus to open fire in advance.
Li Qing didn't know how the opponent's warship was modified, so he was afraid of insufficient firepower, so he focused all 60 artillery pieces on the modified cruiser whose shield was broken.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the thirty metal shells and thirty lasers hit the target at the same time, and there was an earth-shattering explosion. The modified cruiser was torn apart by the terrifying power of the concentrated fire, and turned into a raging explosion of flames on the spot.
After concentrating fire and sinking one ship, the pressure was suddenly reduced. The firepower of the remaining pirate cruiser was no longer enough to pose a threat to the destroyer in a short period of time.
On the other side, sixteen frigates were surrounding seventeen pirate gunboats, and the two sides were entangled in a melee within a very small area.
Both frigates and pirate gunboats are small warships of the same specifications. They are equipped with small S-slot weapons. The ranges of laser cannons, machine guns, and point defense systems are all very close. As a result, frigate battles are mostly close-range and fast-moving mobile battles. .
When he destroyed a cruiser, the frigate equipped with all fifth-generation technology on the other side had the upper hand in a one-on-one confrontation with the pirate gunboats.
At this point, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, he won the battle completely and not a single ship was lost.
As he expected, seven minutes later, the second pirate cruiser was sunk, and five destroyers immediately joined the frigate battlefield, destroying the pirate gunboats that fell to the leeward one by one.
As soon as the battle ended, Li Qing found that his command skills and experience had improved a lot, and his basic naval command skills had reached level five.
Basic naval command skills LV5: speed +25%, weapon fire rate +15%, attack damage +10%, command ship capacity +450.
Coupled with the psyker skill bonus, the fleet he commands has +45% speed, +20% range, +15% weapon rate of fire, and +10% attack damage.
"It's getting stronger and stronger."
Li Qing smacked his lips and closed the properties panel with satisfaction.
After salvaging the battlefield, Li Qing was surprised to find that in addition to a pile of messy battleship wreckage, there was also a blueprint for manufacturing a second-generation laser cannon that could be used 25 times, as well as two data chips, one green and one white.
The second-generation laser sterilization paper costs 350,000 per time, which can be used 25 times for 8.75 million, which is a small profit.
After the two data chips were delivered to him, he used a decoder to extract the data and obtained a white skill chip and a green signal chip.
The whiteboard skill chip contains frigate operation skills. After use, 1,000 points of experience related to frigate operation skills will be added.
But this thing is only useful for captains, not commanders like him.
Although he also learned the skill of frigate operation, it was only for emergency use before. Not only does he not need to operate it now, but he probably won't have the chance to operate it again in the future. Naturally, there is no need to waste this thing, it can only be used by training his subordinates.
But all of his men are blank captains, and there is no value in training at all. They can only be saved for now, and they can be used later when there is a chance to recruit frigate captains with green or blue names or above.
As for the signal chip, this thing will give you a coordinate after decoding, and then you can find the coordinate location.
The result of the signal chip is uncertain. It may be that the coordinate location is just a treasure left by the ancients, or it may be a relic, an ancient laboratory, an ancient shipwreck, or even just an ordinary box, etc.
In the case of buried treasure, the act is called treasure digging.
In the case of ancient ruins or laboratories, this behavior is called grave digging.
Generally speaking, the final harvest can be determined by the level of the signal chip. There is no need to expect good things on the whiteboard. If it is a purple signal chip, there will definitely be top-notch good things.
The green chip is a little higher than the white board, but it is one level higher, and there is a chance that something of good value will be produced.
Li Qing used a star map to check the signal coordinates and found that the signal coordinates were not very far from here. Anyway, he was looking for a suitable galaxy to establish a base, so he decided to go and have a look.
However, after walking only a few galaxies according to the star map coordinates, Li Qing discovered a problem. The interference electrons contained in the nebulae in the nearby star field were rising rapidly. Not only were the ship's sensors severely affected, but the jump engines were also strongly affected.
After crossing about ten galaxies, he discovered that only the fifth-generation jump engine could jump here, and the jump distance and accuracy were greatly affected.
"Is this also the edge of the isolation interference zone?"
Checking the star map, the coordinates on the signal chip were only five hops away from here. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to move forward.
Drilling into the next galaxy, I immediately felt that the interference in the nebula had strengthened again. The sensor was suppressed to only one-third of its effectiveness. The fifth-generation jump engine was already in a state of intermittently working. It is estimated that if I enter again The next galaxy deep down will strike directly.
"Everyone has come."
It would be a pity to give up now, but Li Qing also set a standard for himself and continued to move forward, but if he found that the wormhole began to become unstable, he would withdraw, and he could not take risks.
Then it flew forward three galaxies in one breath. The jump engine had already stopped working and could not be used. Even the curvature of sub-light speed was greatly affected.
But the wormholes are relatively stable. According to the information provided by the Jialan team, the real isolation interference zone is when the wormholes are disturbed and become unstable, making it impossible to travel through. Now the wormholes can still be used, but the interference is serious , indicating that this place should be at the edge of the isolation interference zone. It is estimated that a few galaxies will officially enter the isolation interference zone in the future.
Fortunately, the coordinates on the signal chip are nearby, and should be at the edge of the isolation interference zone.
Half a day later, the fleet arrived at the edge of the galaxy. The large force stopped, and one expel and five guards dived into the wormhole.
An hour and a half later, the leading fleet sent him a response. After receiving the communication, he looked at the communication screen showing a group of players anchored not far from the wormhole, including two cruisers, eight destroyers, and forty escorts. Li Qing was surprised by the fleet and the debris all over the ground.
After a moment of silence, he ordered in the fleet channel:
"Destroyer No. 345 and frigates No. 1 to 10 will enter first, and the remaining warships will enter later."
Half an hour later, the wormhole shuttle ended. As soon as he came out, Li Qing checked the situation immediately. He was relieved when he found that there was no conflict. At the same time, the communication lighted up. He clicked on it and saw that an unfamiliar communication came in, revealing a man in a dress. The young man in dark green military uniform said:
"I am the commander of the fleet not far away from you. You can call me Thorn Bird."
"Jialan Team Li Qing!"
"I came here to dig a grave with the guidance of a signal chip."
"What a coincidence. I accidentally broke out a signal chip and came to dig for treasure."
"That's such a coincidence."
"It's a bit of a coincidence."
Li Qing checked the coordinates of the star map. The signal chip pointed to the position below the galaxy. He sent the coordinates and said:
"We shouldn't have the same coordinates, right?"
The Thorn Bird was obviously relieved and sent the coordinates:
"Although it is also in this galaxy, it is not the same location."
"Then let's each dig our own thing?"
"Okay."
The two said goodbye peacefully, and a fleet sailed to the left of the galaxy, while Li Qing led the fleet to sail downwards.
This so-called direction does not refer to the horizontal plane of each player's battleship as the standard front, rear, left, right, up and down, but the entire new bank system as the standard.
As we all know, the new Milky Way is also a huge flat disk with four spiral arms. This flat disk is used as the center line to divide it into upper and lower directions, and then the four spiral arms are used in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
Taking the galactic center as the base point, the spiral arm where the United Empire of Mankind is located is the Hercules spiral arm, and the set direction is the north of the galactic disk.
Of course, the southeast, northwest and northwest refer to the directional coordinates of the entire galaxy. This set of coordinates must not be used in the galaxy.
Within the star system, the upper and lower horizontal planes are still based on the Milky Way as the standard, but the southeast and northwest are anchored by themselves or the star in the center of the star system.
What he is using now is the southeast, northwest and northwest directions with himself as the anchor point.
The concentration of nebulae in this galaxy has actually affected the perspective of the naked eye. The picture transmitted through the sensor shows that the starry sky outside the battleship is covered with a light layer of fog. If you zoom in on the picture, you can find that the fog is composed of countless fine particles.
If you use scientific research-grade instruments to examine carefully, you will find that there are extremely small electronic connections between these particles.
In fact, this environment itself already has certain scientific research value. The outpost has been sending scientific research ships to conduct scientific research on the galaxies on the edge of the isolation interference zone. It is not known whether any valuable information has been discovered.
There are also wild monsters in this galaxy, and they are also affected by the nebula. The sensors are suppressed even more severely than him. During this period, they have two close encounters with the wild monster fleet and have already entered its radar detection range. In other galaxies, they would definitely be discovered, but in He is not found here at all.
In addition, there seems to be more than one kind of wild monster appearing in this galaxy. In addition to the common pirate wild monsters, there is also a wild monster with a battleship shape that is obviously different from a pirate gunboat.
The technological level is not much different from that of pirate gunships, but the fleet size is much larger than that of pirates.
In addition to scattered and scattered gunboats, pirates usually have a large-scale fleet of less than five destroyers converted into cruisers with twenty or thirty gunboats. However, this unknown wild monster does not have sporadic ones. Most of them are large-scale fleets, and the fleets are very large. There are at least four or five real cruisers, a dozen destroyers, and seventy or eighty frigates, with a total number of about one hundred.
When encountering this kind of fleet, Li Qing would always avoid it by turning around.
After walking and stopping all the way, I finally arrived at the coordinates of the signal chip. From a distance, I saw a common desolate planet floating alone in the starry sky. The orbit around the planet was full of broken battleship wreckage, one by one. A small fleet of wild monsters including cruisers, three destroyers and about ten frigates were wandering back and forth among the wreckage.
"Ancient battlefield?"
Li Qing was unexpectedly surprised.
"Why is there an ancient battlefield here?"
Judging from the battleship wreckage, it contained a large number of large battleships. Although no flagship wreckage was found, it can be seen from so many battleship wreckage that the scale of the ancient battle was absolutely huge.
The fleet stopped for a while to complete the scan, and Li Qing ordered the fleet to scan a circle around the planet from a distance.
However, as soon as they circled the planet to the other side, they saw that another piece of orbital starry sky previously blocked by the planet was filled with battleship wreckage, including several battleship wreckage that were larger than complete battleships.
"Hiss!"
What shocked him even more was that behind the battleship tomb, there was a broken satellite. (End of chapter)
