Chapter 26 Humiliation
25. Humiliation
“Boss, it seems they are going to fight us!” A person on the three bounty hunter spaceships looked at him with some fear. The huge mothership in front of us, "Such a big spaceship can crush us with just a finger!"
"You coward, look clearly! There is such a big spaceship, but there are no There are no turrets, understand? This is just a civilian spaceship! What's the use of it?" their leader cursed.
“But there must be fighter jets in there!”
"So don't run towards their spaceship. Have you seen the mining station on the gas planet of Endor? Let's go over there and try their skills. If they are really good, then we can use the mining station directly. Just run away with the shield!" the leader said.
"Hahaha! That's right! If they were just a bunch of useless security guards, we would have made a fortune this trip!" Another person added with a wild laugh.
"But...Master Dooku just asked us to come and investigate..."
"Why are you so verbose? As stupid as a bantha! Master Dooku asked us to investigate, we Of course we have to check if these people have money!"
"Hahaha! Let's go eat meat!"
The three spaceships began to accelerate, rushing towards the interstellar mining station like three hungry wolves!
"Hahahahaha!!" Amidst the bounty hunters' wild laughter, two G-9 light cargo ships and a GX-1 transport ship headed towards the fourth civilization's building on the outskirts of the gas giant planet Endor. Go straight to the mining station!
A mining ship that was returning was not in a hurry to avoid it, and was suddenly hit by a dense burst of lasers. This kind of mining ship had almost no protection and was instantly blown into a ball of fire!
Almost at the same time, the huge hangar platform in the center of the mothership unfolded, and four squadrons of blade fighters filed out. The mothership's hangar can even take off and land cruisers directly, so these fighters don't even have to queue for takeoff.
A total of 48 fighter jets from 4 squadrons flew towards the threatened mining station.
"Boss! They are coming!"
"They are all light fighter jets! What are you afraid of! Kill a few of them first, and then we will run away." The leader of the bounty hunter is so tough that even if he wants to escape, he will have to pull him. A few backs.
In many places in the galaxy, bounty hunters and interstellar pirates are actually the same in many cases, it just depends on what job you are doing now.
Especially in the outer ring of the galaxy, where the Republic has no control at all, it is even more lawless.
The G-9 cargo ship was modified, and two turrets were added behind the cargo hold. After the blade fighter of the fourth civilization approached, the turrets began to rotate and then fired!
Explosive beams were launched one after another, like red meteors. The Blade fighters immediately formed into formation, and the 12 aircraft in each squadron spread out again, operating in a small group of four aircraft.
Far away, these fighter jets opened fire. Two six-barrel electromagnetic cannons sprayed out streams of flames, and countless bullets shot out, raining down on the target.
But at such a distance, these bullets cannot effectively hit at all. Even if a few bullets hit the bounty hunter's spacecraft, they were completely blocked by the deflector shield.
The firepower of the two G-9 modified spaceships was even more fierce. The blaster beams were continuously fired and soon hit a Blade fighter. Fighters without energy shields had no chance of survival. The blaster beam directly exploded the fragile shell of the fighter, and in a series of explosions, the fighter was blown into a ball of fire.
At this time, the larger GX-1 transport ship also turned around. This nearly 40-meter-long transport ship was modified and equipped with more laser turrets. All the approaching Blade fighter jets had no effect. It happened to be directly destroyed.
The two sides quickly closed the distance and entered a close combat, but the result of the battle was still disappointing! The Bounty Hunter's ship is bigger, faster, has more firepower, and its shields are nearly indestructible. Blade fighters equipped only with rudimentary electromagnetic cannons can't even cause effective damage to them.
Among these four squadrons, only one squadron's fighter jets are equipped with infrared laser weapons. Only the attacks of these fighter jets will actually cause the bounty hunter's spaceship shield to produce bursts of visible light. Visible ripples.
However, compared to laser weapons that require continuous irradiation, blaster weapons that explode in one hit are obviously much better, not to mention that the problem of the blade fighter's low power has not been solved yet.
Now even if the number comparison is 48 to 3, the Blade fighter jets are still shot down one by one. But the remaining fighter jets still rushed forward like moths to the flame, constantly launching attacks.
"Hahahaha! Boss! Their fighter jets are so weak! Hahahaha!!" The bounty hunter who was a little timid just now laughed loudly when he saw his opponent was so miserable.
"Humph! It turns out that the goods are made by powerful foreigners! Come on! Show them some color! Today we must let them use money to fill our cargo hold!" The leader looked fiercely.
Discovering the gap between the two sides, the three bounty hunters' spaceships became even more violent. They no longer even maintained their formation, relying on their deflection shields to run rampant among the Fourth Civilization's fleet.
In the command center of the mothership, Qi Jian looked at the fighter icons on the screen that turned red and disappeared, clenching his fists and shaking all over.
"Sir! Our fighter jets are no match at all! The performance gap is too big!" the adjutant next to him shouted with red eyes.
Bang! Qi Jian slammed his fist on the table. He was so hard that the holographic projection shook. "Tell the pilots to delay as much time as possible and lead the battle towards the mothership and into the close fire range of the mothership. They cannot break through." If you open the mothership's shield, we'll have to temporarily abandon the mining site!"
As he spoke, he turned to Clement and said, "Also, inform the engineering department to replace it with infrared laser weapons as soon as possible. Let our fighters have some resistance!"
Clement nodded silently.
Guan Yan, Feng Yongwang and others from the Scientific Research Department heard about the battle and came to the bridge. They originally wanted to see the performance comparison of the two fighters and get some actual combat data, but this result was disappointing. shocking!
“Do you understand?” Feng Yongwang said lightly, “Go back to work.”
After that, he left the bridge. His steps were staggering, and he knocked over a potted plant next to him without realizing it.
Seeing this, other people in the scientific research department didn’t say much, and left the bridge one after another, returning to their scientific research posts. They vowed to work around the clock and complete more technological analysis as soon as possible! Whether it's ghost fighters or light frigates, they need more and stronger spaceships!
Let today’s humiliation never happen again! Let our soldiers no longer fight a desperate battle like today, driving fighter jets that are an entire era behind.
