Chapter 738 Beam Rifle
The people of Alan Starlink are simple and simple, with a bit of Texas heritage. There are quite a few civilian shuttles that follow the Planetary Defense Force to beat up pirates. In some star areas, there are even more space fighters than the Defense Force's space fighters.
But when it comes to being conspicuous, the Manta Ray is definitely on the list.
On the one hand, this is because the Manta Ray is an excavated antique, and its appearance is a style that was popular thousands of years ago. It's like driving a tank at a luxury car party. Of course it's more conspicuous than any other luxury car.
On the other hand, it's because the trajectory of the Manta Ray is too exciting.
Air combat is never a solo battle for air knights. Since World War II, all aircraft flying in the sky have adopted a formation flight mode. No matter how many aircraft are in formation, one person's energy and perspective are limited. Teammates can help to watch the blind spots, whether it is attacking or maneuvering in advance. It will be much more convenient.
Even a large number of civilian shuttles and even pirates know the benefits of formation flying. Even if they are separated from their teammates, they will find nearby scattered teammates to regroup.
As for the Manta, "Teammates will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword." There were lone space fighters or civilian shuttles trying to form a formation with the Manta, but they couldn't keep up with it.
The engine installed on the variable wing can achieve an effect similar to vector propulsion when driven by the rotating shaft. Although it is far less flexible than the direct vector propulsion of a space fighter, this design will be useful for other aircraft when placed on a shuttle. The peers form a flexible crush.
The pirate shuttle being chased by the Manta dived into the wreckage, hoping to use obstructions to interfere with the rays, but it was no use. The Manta was not fooled at all. It rolled and climbed, doing an inverted masturbation position, aiming its nose. The pirate shuttle.
With slight vibrations and subtle beeps, the pirate shuttle was overwhelmed by a series of cannon shells, and the shield energy dropped rapidly.
At the critical moment, another pirate shuttle rushed out of the smoke of the explosion. The ion beams on both sides of the body had begun to charge, as if the previous shuttle was just a fishing bait. When he came out again, he would strike with a sure blow.
Fang Lanyin could even see the look on the face of the pirate in the cockpit of the shuttle opposite, 'I succeeded! ’ expression.
However, a pink eye-catching beam penetrated the pirate shuttle from directly above, along with the previous shuttle whose shield was weakened by the cannon.
The high temperature instantly melted the outer shell of the pirate shuttle, and the lava-like red metal jet ignited the pipeline and exploded the fuel tank that stored the liquefied magic power.
Two orange flashes burst into large flames, licking the chassis of the Manta. As the engine roared, the Manta turned around and ran to the next target without even looking at the burning wreckage.
"Be careful of the nut coming loose! It's just spot welded on!"
"I know, I'm already very light."
Fang Lanyin was a little worried about the temporarily repaired fuselage solder joints, but Li Chengqi turned the joystick, and the Manta ray flashed through two ion beams in a posture that was comparable to a U-turn on the spot. Apparently, he didn't care whether the repaired part would come loose. .
The ion beam on the left side is no longer usable, but Fang Lanyin welded the beam rifle onto it.
This one is more heavyweight.
The beam rifle seems to require pulling the trigger, but that is actually just the finger adapted to the Gundam. After all, the beam weapon does not need to physically activate the primer.
Fang Lanyin disassembled the trigger and handle, then connected the controller that controlled the ion beam to the beam rifle, and finally welded the gun body directly to the left side of the body.
This thing is extremely powerful. Li Chengqi has tried to penetrate at most three shuttles with one shot, but he has never found its damage limit.
The only minor problem is that the beam rifle is hard welded to the body. Of course, the original fire control of the ion cannon cannot be used, which means that the beam fired will not fly according to the accuracy on the screen.
But the problem is not big. After all, it is fixed, and the trajectory is also fixed. If you don’t fly according to the target, you can just fire two shots to test the trajectory. Blind shooting without aiming is a standard operation, and it is still easy to do. Learned.
Even better is that this thing comes with its own magazine, which does not need to consume the energy of the Manta itself. Even though the number of 20 rounds is a little less, it is enough.
A row of rockets came from the front left. The Manta rolled down and avoided the rockets. At the same time, it also saw an aircraft much larger than the shuttle, which was roughly equivalent to a boat in a ship. 'This level.
Lifting the nose of the aircraft slightly, a rocket was fired from the right side of the aircraft and headed towards the aircraft. When the rocket exploded, the shield immediately appeared, but the metal jet tore a hole in the shield and hit the tail engine of the aircraft at an angle.
Although none of them exploded, Li Chengqi did not continue to care about it. After all, the space fighter following behind would not make it easy for the pirates.
Anyway, the opportunity was rare, so Li Chengqi put another high-energy rocket launcher into the screen and asked Fang Lanyin to weld it on the right side of the machine using the same method.
It also comes with its own magazine, with only eight rounds in total, which can be used interchangeably with the beam rifle to deal with different types of enemies.
Having said that, Li Chengqi never expected that the Creation Priesthood would be realized in this way. According to Viola's legend, Li Chengqi thought that the Creation Priesthood was the kind of existence that could shape a planet by itself.
Li Chengqi has tried it before. He stuffed the model into the screen, and it would only be enlarged proportionally, and it would not turn into a real Gundam. This is because he could not create something that he did not understand out of thin air.
But with the assistance of the Creation Priest, you can create something out of nothing by just consuming energy.
This is how beam rifles and high-energy rocket launchers came about. Li Chengqi had no idea about their internal structures, but that didn't stop them from turning into reality from models.
However, it is not possible to just plug the machine into it. If you want to use the ability to create a priesthood, there may be other restrictions. For now, I will mainly focus on fighting. I will study it slowly when I have time later.
Although the movement trajectory of the Manta Ray is very arrogant, it can also be seen that it has a clear purpose.
That's right, he was heading for the mobile aircraft carrier.
Use the last few cannon shells to blast away the meteorites blocking the way. A huge shadow appeared directly in front of the shuttle. It was at least a hundred times larger than the shuttle. On the huge saucer-shaped spacecraft, there were vague indicator lights and indistinct lights. The light of the airlock that stopped opening and closing came into view at this time.
But at the same time, the mobile aircraft carrier also discovered the Manta, a shuttle that was not its own. For a moment, it seemed as if all the anti-aircraft guns fired at the same time, and an overwhelming rain of bullets came.
"The mine is set to explode."
After Fang Lanyin said this, the Manta did not retreat this time, but flew head-on into the hail of bullets.
No matter how flexible Li Chengqi is, despite the performance of the Manta Ray, he will still inevitably be hit when faced with a dense rain of bullets. From time to time, the main control screen will light up with a 'shield energy reduction' prompt.
When flying directly above, the Manta's bottom magazine opened, and four jet-propelled mines fell out of it, colliding head-on with the shield of the mobile aircraft carrier, exploding a large cloud of smoke.
The people on the aircraft carrier bridge were momentarily blocked by the flames of the explosion, and could not see where the Manta Ray had gone. However, soon the entire aircraft carrier was shaking violently, and red warning flashes flashed back and forth on the bridge.
Having had the experience of using a shuttle to kill a cruiser, Li Chengqi now knew that the engine part of such a large ship was the most vulnerable, and the shield was also the weakest.
Normally, even if the shuttle's firepower hits the weakest engine part, it is impossible to penetrate the mobile aircraft carrier's shield. This thing is much stronger than the cruiser's shield.
But we have beam rifles.
The last few rounds were not left at all. From a distance, the tail of this mobile aircraft carrier seemed to be pierced by several long pink needles, and the engine and hull structure at the tail were twisted and deformed.
Losing energy supply, most of the anti-aircraft guns instantly misfired. The Manta flew to the top bridge and fired the last three rockets.
The metal that made up the bridge had no resistance when faced with 380mm rockets. The three rockets seemed to have crushed the bridge, and then the fuze was delayed before setting off. The surging metal jets and explosions instantly destroyed the bridge. , the main mobile aircraft carrier quickly disintegrated under the flames.
