Chapter 698 Attacking the Pirate Group
Interstellar pirates themselves are not limited to humans, but also exist from various races, relying on the large-scale application of implants. The combat effectiveness of interstellar pirates is quite fierce. For battleships of the same level, the combat effectiveness of interstellar pirates is often higher than that of federal battleships. They also have richer combat experience, never follow common sense, and often use special tactics to overwhelm the federal fleet.
After setting the positioning of the No. 3 exchange planet, Lan Xuanyu ordered: "Turn on the stealth mode. Turn on the radar to the maximum level. Report any findings immediately."
A layer of faint light appeared on the surface of the Thirty-three-day Wings pirate ship. The next moment, the surrounding light seemed to be swallowed up by it, and it disappeared silently into the void of the universe.
The radar was fully turned on, exploring everything around it in a wide range, and everyone became excited. Entering an unsafe star field, battles may occur at any time. For them, this is the most exciting thing.
It would be the most wonderful thing to be able to rob a few interstellar pirates while completing the team mission!
The battleship flies very fast. According to Lan Xuanyu's calculations, they will reach their destination in up to twenty-four hours of flight time.
Four hours passed without any encounter. Everyone who was originally excited gradually returned to calm. Even in an unsafe star field, it seems that it is not easy to encounter enemies!
Just as everyone was gradually relaxing, Ding Zhuohan, who was in charge of radar detection, suddenly said: "We have discovered that there are UFOs in front of us, at the eleven o'clock direction, about two thousand kilometers away, and the number is Five.”
Lan Xuanyu also cheered up, "Be careful to hide." In space, two thousand kilometers is a very short distance. It takes less than a few minutes to get close.
After a slight pause, Lan Xuanyu said in a deep voice: "All weapon systems and defense systems are ready, the battleship is silent."
Everyone followed his order and immediately carried out a series of controls, the battleship The main thruster is slowly extinguished, and only four auxiliary thrusters with much smaller power are used to push slowly. In this way, the energy fluctuations generated will be smaller and less likely to be discovered by the enemy.
Discerning the flight directions of the five UFOs, the Thirty-three-day Wings pirate warship slowly flew towards the path that the other party must pass.
As the distance gets closer, what the radar detects becomes clearer. A picture was projected on the large screen in the porthole.
Five, five pirate warships.
Yes, it must be a pirate warship. The dark warship has a white skull pattern, no skull eyes, and a purple flame pattern, as if it is burning.
Bai Xiuxiu's voice came, "Purple Fire Pirates Group. A small and medium-sized pirate group. It has no more than fifteen battleships, and the flagship has a meteor-star attack ship. The others are meteor-star reconnaissance ships. The reconnaissance team we met should be the Purple Fire Pirate Group, which is extremely vicious and kills a lot."
This is the information obtained through the data search of the opponent's pirate group's marks. There is a database about pirates, which was also given by the Tang Sect. These things cannot be measured in value.
"Boss, do you want to fight or not?" Qian Lei turned to look at Lan Xuanyu excitedly.
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Get ready to fight."
The meteor star attack ship and the meteor star reconnaissance ship are different in terms of warships. Although they are of the same level, Against five, but with the high technology of Tangmen battleships, they should have an absolute advantage.
Ding Zhuohan immediately reported: "Except for these five reconnaissance ships, no other pirate warships have been found within a range of 5,000 kilometers."
"Received. Listen to my orders later, I will take control. Main controller. The weapon system is ready, and the main gun is charging. "
"There are still 541 kilometers to go, and we will enter the main gun range. ." Ding Zhuohan's voice was slightly trembling due to excitement. This is his first real Star Wars experience!
In fact, except for Lan Xuanyu, everyone else entered Star Wars for the first time. Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes slightly, "The main guns are locked on the opponent's central battleship. The main thrusters are ready."
The entire control room instantly became silent, everyone was busy with their work , waiting for Lan Xuanyu’s order.
Lan Xuanyu had already put on his helmet at this time, and various data continued to gather in his mind. Place your hands on the console on either side. Be prepared to respond at any time.
"The enemy has entered the shooting range." Ding Zhuohan's excited voice sounded.
Lan Xuanyu naturally saw it from the master brain’s data. But he did not rush to order an attack. Our side, which is in a state of invisibility and silence, has not yet been discovered by the other party. And this is definitely a good opportunity for them.
Annihilating pirate warships is not their purpose, their main purpose is to take advantage of others! Destroying the opponent has no actual benefits other than wasting ammunition and punishing evil and promoting good. Therefore, what he wants is not just to defeat the opponent.
The distance is getting closer and closer. Any stealth warship will also be discovered by the opponent's reconnaissance radar within a certain distance. The Tangmen battleship's stealth effect is already quite good.
"Ignite. Sprint with all your strength! Fire the main gun." Lan Xuanyu shouted and gave the order instantly.
The tail of the Thirty-three-day Wings pirate warship suddenly ejected a strong orange-red flame. The warship, which was originally sailing slowly, suddenly accelerated and at the same time it was instantly released from the invisible state. The front main gun flashed, and a huge beam of light was cut through. In the sky, five enemy ships headed straight for the distance and bombarded them.
The Thirty-three Heavenly Wings battleship suddenly appeared, like a monster suddenly appearing from the universe. The five pirate ships on the opposite side immediately spotted them.
The white protective shields bloomed from the five pirate ships almost at the same time, and then they showed the actual combat capabilities of the pirate warships.
The five battleships dispersed instantly.
"Boom——" The pirate warship locked by the main gun was unable to escape after all, and was bombarded by the huge energy of the main gun. Most of the protective shield was shattered almost instantly, and the meteorite-class reconnaissance ship was immediately thrown sideways and flew backwards. It's like a toy being thrown out.
"Full firepower, prepare to capture bombs." Lan Xuanyu controlled the Tangmen warship to increase its speed and rushed straight towards the five enemy warships. At the same time, the rain cover on the Thirty-three-day Wings pirate warship also opened. The yellow protective cover was obviously much thicker than the opponent's cover.
But to Lan Xuanyu's surprise, the warships of the Purple Fire Pirates did not fight back, but turned around and ran away. The five pirate warships fled directly in five directions, with no intention of exchanging fire with them.
Is it certain that a reconnaissance ship cannot defeat an attack ship? Not necessarily, it depends on the quality and attack strength of the warships on both sides. It also depends on the control ability. But relatively speaking, it is even more difficult for a reconnaissance ship to break through the protective shield of an attack ship.
These pirate warships have no intention of getting entangled, because they know very well that the opposite side should also be pirate warships, and once they fight, even if they can win in the end with their numerical advantage, they will probably lose several ships. Battleship. This is definitely not the fighting style of pirates. They never fight with their opponents to death, but pick up the weak ones.
They seemed to have long been accustomed to being suddenly attacked, so they immediately fled away without even a moment's pause or nostalgia.
Obviously not all pirate warships can escape, but in this way, it is extremely difficult for Lan Xuanyu and the others to annihilate all these pirate warships.
The meteor attack ship charging at full speed is extremely fast. Tang Sect's high technology makes this attack ship faster than the federal standard warship by at least 30%. This is more like a pirate battleship.
