Chapter 1087: The barrage on the port side is too thin
Battle alarms continued to echo in the cabin, and the gunners who had already taken their positions opened their visors to reveal their gun emplacements, and widened their eyes to search the star field below.
High-power searchlights were also turned on one after another, and eye-catching beams of light swept downwards.
If there was a warship hiding here, it would definitely be discovered, but neither the searchlight, nor the radar, or even the gunner's eyesight to detect the enemy, found nothing.
It seems that the shot fired by the St. Amber was an illusion.
The only thing that can penetrate the frigate's shield is the main gun of another battleship.
According to the specifications, the Swan's lance main gun has this ability to fire at close range, but the pink beam seemed to be inconsistent with the optical characteristics of the lance main gun.
The shipboard computer quickly compared the database and gave the answer "no result", that is, it could not find out what it was.
This is very strange. The database of the Constellation Alliance stores the warship parameters of all member states of the Constellation Alliance, and it also collects as much information as possible about the warships of other surrounding countries.
Nothing can be compared, there are only two possibilities.
Either it comes from a completely unknown interstellar country, or it is a special weapon made by an individual.
The possibility of the former is very low, the latter...
Can a personal hand-made weapon penetrate the frigate's shield?
What a joke.
However, just like a taunt, the pink beam was reflected on the bridge glass again. This time, the frigate on the left front was attacked, again from diagonally below.
"The gunner reported a purplish-red flash, but no visual sighting of the battleship."
"It's impossible for a battleship to remain invisible after attacking!"
Two frigates were damaged, but the location of the enemy warships could not be found, which was very strange.
However, the captain immediately realized that according to the order, it would be his destroyer's turn soon.
"The radar keeps tracking and notifies friendly forces to leave the meteorite belt."
The three warships immediately raised their heads. It was precisely because they activated the emergency avoidance that a pink beam of light was not aimed right.
The beam instantly broke through the destroyer's shield and hit the rocket launcher nest on the right side of the ship, causing the ammunition to explode.
However, this was not a big problem. The rocket launcher nests were all plug-in type, and the automatic damage control was activated, so the damage was quickly controlled.
"Report! The gunner sighted a space fighter!"
"Only space fighters?"
"Confirmed, there is only one unidentified space fighter."
This is even more wrong. How can a space fighter have such high firepower.
"Turn on the air-to-air radar, the gunnery chief assigns air defense tasks, and all gun positions can fire freely."
According to common sense, it is impossible for a space fighter to penetrate the shield of a battleship with one shot. Of course, the captain of the Star Alliance Army will not believe that a space fighter can pose a threat to a battleship. In contrast, there are still unknown battleships hiding in meteorites. The guess that Beli took over the Swan was more reliable.
"The main gun charging signal has been detected. It is the main gun of the light spear."
The three warships immediately evaded, and the beam of the light spear cannon made a stroke on the destroyer.
Just when he was about to fight back, he saw the Swan diving back into the meteorite belt, and the Star Cluster United warship was so angry that his teeth started to itch.
But he didn't have time to get angry immediately, because just as he avoided the light spear cannon, there was a sudden violent vibration in the bridge, and the alarm tone kept ringing in the terminal next to the captain's seat.
"Report damage."
"The port side was damaged, cabins No. 81 to 133 were damaged, a fire broke out inside the ship, and the automatic fire extinguishing device was activated."
"Where did the attack come from?"
"Directly below."
Immediately afterwards, the crew reported: "The gunner visually confirmed that it was an unidentified space fighter that launched the attack."
Now he had to believe it even if he didn’t believe it. The captain immediately turned to the gunnery chief:
"Chief Gunner! What is the gunner on the port side doing? Shoot him down quickly!"
"The barrage has been covered, but the gunner's response to the opponent's movement is too fast, and there are too many meteorites, making it difficult to aim."
A major role of the destroyer is regional air defense. It stands to reason that the anti-aircraft guns on the destroyer are enough to break approaching space fighters into pieces, but this environment makes it difficult for the anti-aircraft guns to be used.
"Confirmed again that the main gun charging signal is the main gun of light spear!"
When the destroyer was in dire straits, the Swan poked its head out of the meteorite again, fired a shot and ran away. It was really exciting.
The Swan doesn't care at all whether it can hit or not, I will hit anyway, you can do whatever you want.
Just after avoiding the main gun of the light spear, the pink beam appeared again, this time hitting the side and rear of the St. Amber in front of the destroyer, and almost hit the energy transmission pipe.
The good news is that at this time, the three warships have escaped from the meteorite belt, and the shield of the attacked frigate has been reloaded and returned to its hardest level.
But the bad news...
"The space fighter is catching up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pink beam of light hit the port side of the destroyer. However, due to the influence of the shield, the beam did not penetrate directly this time, but scattered. Large areas of pink light swept across the glass of the bridge.
This also caused the ship's system to sound an alarm and the shield energy to decrease.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The Swan drilled into the meteorite belt, not just to find cover.
As mentioned just now, the only way the Swan can threaten the three warships is the combination of Li Chengqi and the modified Lionfish, in addition to the main gun.
As for the artillery battle, the distance was too far. By the time Li Chengqi flew over, the Swan would have been beaten into pieces.
The meteorite belt gave the Lionfish perfect approach cover, although the size of the meteorite was unlikely to help the Swan block too much gunfire.
But it blocks the view and gives the lionfish a chance to get closer.
As soon as it entered the meteorite belt, the lionfish had already set off, and Li Chengqi controlled it to land behind a meteorite.
He was lying here and could clearly see three warships following the Swan into the meteorite belt.
The space fighter is small, so when it gets close to the meteorite, the opponent's ship-borne radar will think that the lionfish and the meteorite are a whole, thus ignoring them.
But you can't take action at this time. If you take action too early, the three battleships will run away. What they want is when they get in and chase the Swan, and they are surrounded by meteorites from top to bottom, left and right.
They are not as flexible as the Swan and can only use their shields to knock away meteorites. Although this is not a problem at all for two frigates and one destroyer, the impact will definitely reduce the energy of the shield.
What Li Chengqi deliberately waited for was for their shield level to drop to a certain level to ensure that the high-energy particle rifle carried on the lionfish's back could penetrate it with one shot.
However, the shields of such large battleships are also reloaded very quickly. Li Chengqi did not fire a few shots in total, and the shields of the three battleships were restored and began to rise rapidly, intending to escape from the meteorite belt.
I have to leave one behind anyway, right?
Li Chengqi thought so, so he controlled the lionfish to get out from behind the meteorite and chase after it.
This also caused the battleship's anti-aircraft gunner to visually confirm Li Chengqi and launch an anti-aircraft barrage.
"Brother Li."
In the communication, Fang Lanyin asked:
"Why do you always aim at the port side of the battleship?"
"Because the barrage on the port side is thin."
"?"
Is the port barrage thinner?
Cat girl question mark.
