Chapter 1281 Mirror Jammer
Ever since she boarded the Swan, it felt like there was some kind of magic spell. Alyssa was often chased by battleships, and she was in a panic every time.
This also caused the Swan to consume more smoke grenades than artillery shells.
Even if I could escape by conventional navigation when I went to pick up Shadow Tiger, and it was relatively easy, it was still an escape.
"The jump is about to end, the coordinates have been marked."
Alyssa looked down and saw that the jump position was just within the shelling range of the Swan.
"Activate the main gun and aim at the coordinates!"
As the weapons officer, Long immediately operated the main gun aiming joystick, and the Swan's solid bow opened, revealing the light spear main gun hidden inside.
At the same time, the Swan's attitude control nozzle was activated, allowing the Swan's bow to align with the coordinate point.
"The jump is over and the shadow of the enemy ship appears."
"Fire!"
Following Alyssa's command, the main cannon of the light spear was fired immediately like a bright light piercing the darkness of the void.
"The enemy destroyer was hit on the left side and the damage is being assessed."
"Free fire! Keep suppressing them!"
The three warships, which had just completed the jump and had not yet turned on their radars, were immediately attacked head-on by the Swan.
But after all, it was a formation of two frigates and a destroyer, and the shields were much crisper and stronger than those of the cruisers.
The Swan's main and secondary guns fired three salvos before it successfully defeated the destroyer's shield and caused some damage to it.
But at this time, the other side also reacted, and the two frigates immediately accelerated forward, blocking the destroyer behind them like holding up a protective umbrella.
"Engines fired, quarter speed, evasive maneuver."
"Understood, quarter speed!"
After talking for a long time, the Swan has not started its engine yet. After all, it was docking with someone just now.
Shadow Tiger's worst expectation came true. Agents from the Red Maple Republic intercepted Alyssa's message that she wanted to meet here and set a trap.
Intelligence warfare is like this. No matter how careful the plan is, it may fall apart because of a problem in one link.
The other party probably wanted to capture Shadow Tiger alive, so they specially brought a cruiser in the shape of the Spinning Water Federation to come over to connect. After all, if you just put two frigates and a destroyer here, the people connecting would not come over at all.
After ensuring that Shadow Tiger is under his control, these three warships will appear and sink the warship transporting Shadow Tiger.
The plan should be roughly like this, but they didn't expect to be discovered as soon as they appeared. The three battleships came out and burned incense to the cruiser.
Having said that, since it has been discovered, why didn't the Red Maple Republic send more ships?
Because it’s not necessary.
This kind of ship for covert operations behind enemy lines cannot be too large. At most, it is a high-speed destroyer. A formation of one destroyer and two frigates is enough.
Besides, if the fleet is really transferred here, what will happen to the front line?
As I said before, the mobilization of the large fleet cannot be hidden from anyone. If you mobilize a fleet and leave, the Spinning Water Federation will directly attack you. What will happen then?
For an agent, just abandon the front line?
So the Swan has to face these three battleships, and the Swan has no intention of running away this time. This is an enemy-occupied area. If you want to run, there aren't many safe places for you to jump. If you just run around and run to the system where the enemy fleet is stationed, you are surrendering yourself into a trap. The other party probably won't look at the face of your surrender. I'll leave you a whole body...
Therefore, it is best to destroy these three battleships here as soon as possible, and then find a safe route for the Swan to evacuate, making sure that there is no tail following behind, otherwise it will be difficult for the Swan to escape.
It is indeed difficult to resist three battleships with the Swan's specifications, but it is not impossible.
In the past, all the members on the Swan were basically concentrated on the bridge. That was because there were really not enough manpower, and no one was in charge of the anti-aircraft guns. They relied solely on the machine souls to fire them.
Now, of course things are different now.
It is indeed not close to the full complement of Swan members, but it can still exert its full functions. Some abilities that could not be used before can now be activated.
The three battleships that were hit also started to fight back, but the distance was still relatively far and the Swan was maneuvering in a zigzag, so the hit rate of the enemy's artillery fire was quite impressive.
Of course, as the distance gets closer and with the assistance of shipboard computers, the hit rate will increase. The Swan does have offensive and defensive capabilities that far exceed those of similar ships, but it cannot withstand the bombardment of three warships in turn.
At this time, you have to use other methods.
"Activate the mirror disruptor."
Alyssa picked up the microphone and started the ship's broadcast:
"This ship is about to enter jamming mode, and the mechanic team will be in place immediately."
While getting ready, in the eyes of the three battleships on the opposite side, the top of the Swan suddenly lit up with strong light, spread out like a water curtain, and suddenly split into three. From a distance, it looked like three identical battleships. Use the same motion to sail.
The principle of this device is very simple. It is the mirror image technique commonly used by mages, which confuses the enemy by refracting additional phantoms.
But mages only need to recite two spells to use this trick, and using this trick on something as big as a battleship is not as simple as the principle.
The Mirror Jammer is the latest research result of the Spinning Water Federation. Due to its high cost and difficulty in maintenance, it has not been put into practical use for the time being.
When the Swan was being refitted at the military port of the Spinwater Federation, it was installed conveniently. On the one hand, the Spinwater Federation felt that it was embarrassing that the granddaughter of our own hero drove a car that used the technology of the royalists of the Red Maple Republic. On the one hand, it is also based on the idea of collecting actual combat data.
As a result, there were only a few ships equipped with this device, and one of the spots was allocated to the Swan.
Its biggest problem is that it is unstable. During the startup of the device, a team of mechanics need to be fully monitored. Once there is a problem, parts must be replaced and repaired immediately.
But the effect is really good. At first, the opposite side could tell which one was the phantom and which one was the main body. However, as the Swan continued to evade and sail closer, and after jumping up and down, it was really hard to tell. Even the radar was affected by the absorber. Guan Guan can't see where the Swan is at all.
In this case, the more accurate the aim is, the more crooked the shot may be, and the mirror image disruptor is different from the mirror image technique. The phantom created by the mirror image technique will disappear after being hit, while the phantom created by the mirror image disruptor will disappear. Even if it is set on fire, it can still exist.
However, this thing only allows the Swan to gain a certain advantage, and it is not impossible to crack it.
The three-ship formation on the opposite side immediately dispersed, keeping close while increasing the distance between them.
This will allow the firepower to cover a wider area. As long as the killing range is large enough, the interference effect of the mirror shadow technique will naturally become less and less.
At the same time, the two sides were flying in opposite directions, and the distance between them was closing very quickly.
"A new target appears on the radar, and the opponent has released space fighters!"
Since the more accurate the naval gun's aim is, the more crooked it will be, then let the space fighter come forward and drop the torpedoes.
