Chapter 1335. Secret Weapon (Part 2)
1335. Secret Weapon (Part 2)
The outer orbit of the planet Semels, the flagship of the main fleet of the Fourth Army of the Galactic Republic.
“Sir, for the three warships that appeared at the edge of the galaxy that you asked me to monitor, we already had drones approaching them, but they were quickly shot down. The optical images are now being transmitted, and there are still 5 minutes to receive them. "A radar soldier came to the fleet adjutant and said to him.
Soon, the optical image was transmitted, along with the most basic data.
Among the three warships, the middle one is 1,550 meters long. The overall shape is like one body and looks like a long sword. However, at the bow of the ship, a huge opening was installed somewhat abruptly, which somewhat destroyed the overall beauty of the warship.
The other two ships are 1,254 meters long. The upper part is rounded in shape, but the lower part is roughly rectangular. From a distance, it looks like a bird crouching on the ground.
The adjutant pondered, "These three battleships are obviously at the level of capital ships. Why not jump directly to the edge of the gravity well of the planet Semels and then join Trench's formation? This is the right way to break away from the formation. Want to watch a show from a distance? They are at the edge of the galaxy and can't do anything at all."
He walked towards the fleet commander, Admiral Davis, and wanted to ask for his opinion. , "General, I detected those three battleships..."
Before I finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!
The communications soldier loudly said: "General!! There is a situation!! All our clone armies have lost contact!! Master Ladul has also lost contact!!"
Admiral Davis was shocked, "This Impossible! We just received the report from the clone army 10 minutes ago! There is no way that anything can cause them to lose contact within 10 minutes! The movements of the three battleships were directly ignored by Admiral Davis.
Anyway, a new batch of reinforcements has arrived, and he still has 56 Jaeger-class battlecruisers and 120 small and medium-sized battleships in his hands. In the face of such a powerful force, the three thousand-meter-class battleships were all alone and would never cause him any trouble.
"Send additional fighter formations immediately! Conduct on-the-spot investigation of the war situation in the Capital Region!"
"What's the status of the war in the various directions of the natural army?" Admiral Davis immediately began to respond, "And Master Wilf Munn! Contact him immediately! Hurry!!"
However, misfortunes never come singly, and there was another incident on the adjutant's side. Got another news!
"Sir! It has been detected that the battleship in the center is charging!" the radar soldier monitoring the other side said loudly.
"Charging! No! When did this happen?!" The adjutant reacted immediately.
"According to the time, this is information from 16 hours ago! Because they are at the edge of the galaxy, 0.019 light-years away from us, it will take 16 hours for the data to be transmitted back at the speed of light!" said the radar soldier.
When the adjutant heard this, he didn't care anymore. He rushed forward and pulled General Davis over, almost shouting into his ear: "General! We are under attack!! "
"Attack? Where's the attack?" General Davis was staggered and furious. If the war situation hadn't been urgent, he would have slapped him in the face. However, before he finished speaking, the answer had already arrived!
It suddenly became bright outside the porthole window without any warning! An extremely dazzling orange-red light instantly shone on a Jaeger-class battlecruiser in the main fleet formation of the Fourth Army!
This light was so dazzling that some battleship operators who witnessed this scene through the portholes covered their eyes and screamed loudly. They were temporarily blinded by the strong light!
This light shone for about a second and then gradually extinguished, became thinner and dimmer, and became reddish in color. In the end, it was even clearly visible that this was not a separate light, but a direct ray of light. There is also a spiral energy trajectory surrounding this light!
As for the Jaeger-class battlecruiser that was illuminated, thick smoke began to billow from the hull! ! The deflector shield was destroyed, and many parts of the outer armor were also damaged. It is foreseeable that with the protective capabilities of the single layer of armor of the Jaeger class, it will definitely not be able to withstand it again!
"Where did the attack come from!!" General Davis grabbed the adjutant's shoulder like an angry lion.
"It should...it should be the one in the middle of the three battleships at the edge of the galaxy that launched it! We just received the news that this battleship was recharging 16 hours ago!" the adjutant said quickly, "16 They charged up an hour ago, and 16 hours later, the news of charging arrived almost at the same time! This is a light speed attack! "How is it possible that it's an energy weapon?" The range of energy weapons can span half of the planet system!" Admiral Davis turned pale.
His fear is not unreasonable, because the theoretical maximum range of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is 10 light minutes, and it is already difficult to guarantee the power at this range. And this is the range of a heavy turbolaser cannon!
The heavy turbolaser cannon does not fire pure light speed, but plasma explosive gas, so this is actually a sub-light speed semi-energy weapon.
As for the laser cannon, which is a pure energy weapon, the current technology of the Galactic Republic does not have a range that can exceed 5 light minutes!
But what was the range of the attack just now? 0.0019 light years! Equivalent to 16 light hours! It is nearly 200 times the maximum range of the Republic's laser cannon! !
Admiral Davis suddenly reacted and shouted loudly: "Quick! All battleships leave the place immediately! Move!"
However, his words were still a step late. The extremely dazzling light lit up again, and once again shone on the Jaeger-class battlecruiser just now!
This time, there was no luck. As the light shone, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser exploded from top to bottom, turning the entire thing into a huge fireball! ! A fireball mixed with countless molten armor molten iron! !
Admiral Davis's order was also implemented, and all the warships of the Republic fleet began to move away from their original positions.
Soon, the third and fourth attacks arrived one after another, all shining on the wreckage of the Jaeger-class ship that had just been destroyed. Obviously, the opponent also doesn't know the effect of the attack, nor does he know how many shots of this terrible laser weapon are needed to destroy a Jaeger-class ship, so he just keeps attacking the same place.
In the absence of hyperspace communication, it will also take 16 hours to transmit data back from here.
However, neither the Galactic Republic nor the Confederation of Independent Systems has tactical-level hyperspace communication capabilities, because this requires the construction of an independent hyperspace communication base station.
But that is exactly what it is. The Republic Fleet has no way to counter this ultra-long-distance light speed energy weapon shooting!
Because when you get the news that the other party is firing, the other party's attack also arrives at the same time.
After thinking about this, General Davis felt fear! If this weapon can be mass-produced, then all the current designs and tactical planning of the Galactic Republic's warships will be completely overturned!
"Send a combat formation immediately! Rush over and kill those three warships!!" Admiral Davis roared.
