Chapter 276 Nuclear Torpedo! (One more chapter)
The cannons arrived before the people!
The precise metal storm caught the Proxima civilization off guard.
The Proxima flagship, which had been showing off its might in the [Golden Crow] fleet with its range advantage, no longer had the energy to launch another attack.
Countless lasers and electromagnetic cannons were fired from its surface to intercept the incoming electromagnetic cannon projectiles.
However, due to "software problems", many projectiles still passed the interception net it laid and hit its surface directly.
The explosions and flames continued to appear on its outer armor, showing the power of the close-range nuclear explosion to the fullest!
Just a face-to-face encounter, the Proxima flagship, which was alone, fell into crisis!
At this time, Bai Yixiuan also reacted.
In line with the fine tradition of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Bai Yixiuan immediately gave an order.
Change direction and launch a counterattack!
The [Golden Crow] A21 battleship drew a smooth arc in the universe and rushed directly towards the gradually retreating Proxima flagship.
Of course, the Proxima fleet would not watch its flagship die in vain.
Almost at the same time, countless shells and laser beams were fired in the direction of the human fleet!
I don’t know whether it was accurate or not, but it was a huge show!
In an instant, the war entered a white-hot stage!
On the battlefield, countless electromagnetic cannon projectiles were flying everywhere, and high-energy laser beams swept towards the enemy ships and electromagnetic cannon projectiles like rain.
And in this extremely chaotic battlefield, a [Golden Crow] battleship went upstream against the endless electromagnetic cannon projectiles and high-energy laser beams, and rushed directly towards the Proxima flagship!
Zero’s terror was fully revealed at this time.
The 1,500-meter-long battleship, like a swimming fish, kept moving through the hail of bullets.
With the help of electromagnetic guns and high-energy laser beams, it constantly solves oncoming attacks and closes the distance between itself and the enemy flagship!
Bai Yixuan stared at the holographic projection in front of him, which was constantly flashing red light.
[60,000 kilometers! ]
[High-energy ion beam weapon, start charging... ]
[55,000 kilometers! ]
[Charging completed! ]
[50,000 kilometers! ]
‘Team Bai, the range is enough! ’
Hong Fan’s information flashed on the holographic projection!
At this moment, the scene of his own starship exploding continuously flashed before his eyes!
‘Fire! ’
Bai Yixuan issued his own order with a grim face.
In the distance, a flash of fire suddenly appeared on the exhausted Proxima flagship!
Boom!
A violent explosion rose from the inside of the enemy flagship armor, instantly tearing a huge gap in the tight armor!
In the gap, countless damaged parts sprayed out with the airflow.
But the enemy ship's escape did not slow down at all, but accelerated.
'Damn, isn't the fusion reactor here...'
Bai Yixuan looked at the picture in the holographic projection, with a bit of disappointment between his eyebrows.
Unfortunately, his luck was a bit bad.
'How long will it take to prepare the second ion beam! '
Hong Fan's response came immediately: 'Ten seconds! '
[49,500 kilometers]
[50,000 kilometers]
The numbers displayed in the holographic projection kept jumping.
The difference in the maneuverability of the starships was clear at a glance, and the distance between the two widened again. In a blink of an eye, the enemy flagship escaped from the range.
Bai Yixuan's face changed slightly.
It's too late!
'Team Bai! The second ion beam is fully charged! 'The message sent by Hong Fan jumped in front of his eyes.
Looking at the enemy flagship whose trajectory was gradually tilted, and thinking of the little things he had experienced with his old teammate Wu Ran, Bai Yixuan suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.
‘Hong Fan, let’s catch up…’
Before the message was sent, a highlighted prompt popped up in front of him.
[Jinwu A21, you are too far forward, retreat immediately! ]
This was the order from Zhao Zijie, the commander of the First Fleet.
Bai Yixuan looked a little dazed, and he glanced at the star map beside him.
As Zhao Zijie said, in the pursuit just now, he had unknowingly deviated from the main force and became a lone army deep into the enemy.
He took a deep breath of deep sea liquid and forcibly suppressed the complex emotions in his heart.
‘Jinwu A21 received, start retreating. ’
…
The withdrawal of [Jinwu] A21 was insignificant to the entire battlefield.
Lv Yongchang, who was in the flagship [Earth], looked at the enemy flagship that was shaky in the projection and heading towards Proxima b, and a hint of cruelty appeared in his eyes.
‘You killed so many of us, and you still want to go back alive? ’
‘Zero, prepare to use nuclear torpedoes. ’
As soon as the voice fell, a line of prompts appeared in the holographic projection.
[Nuclear torpedoes are ready, do you want to launch? ]
Nuclear torpedoes are the killer of human civilization.
Academician Qian Zhengyang successfully realized Lu Yongchang's idea.
A simplified version of plasma weapons.
With the help of a large-yield directional nuclear explosion, a beam of ultra-high temperature plasma flow is created at a very short distance!
The main part of the nuclear torpedo is an interstellar missile, equipped with a Hall propulsion unit of the same type as the [Golden Crow] battleship.
The overall size is close to 20 meters.
Even so, compared with a starship, its size and mass are still extremely small.
Under the action of powerful thrust, it can increase its speed to 5,000 kilometers per second in just a few seconds.
Such acceleration performance is terrifying!
Although the fleet's maximum cruising speed can reach 10% of the speed of light, that is, 30,000 kilometers per second, it is a speed that can only be achieved after long-term acceleration.
In war, in order to maintain their maneuverability, the speed of starships is often greatly reduced.
According to the data collected by Zero during this period, even the Proxima Fleet, which is known for its maneuverability, has a maximum cruising speed of only 2,000 kilometers per second in a war state!
That is why nuclear torpedoes have room to play!
Under the crazy stacking of materials by Mr. Qian, the performance of this interstellar missile far exceeds Lu Yongchang's pre-design.
Of course, the consequence of crazy stacking is that the output is scarce.
Even Zero only produced a few dozen before setting off.
Looking at the jumping prompt in front of him, Lu Yongchang retracted his distracting thoughts and solemnly issued his own orders.
'Launch! '
[Earth] A faint blue flame instantly lit up on the side!
