Chapter 1085 Find another way

Cruiser is the entry-level model in the battleship sequence. The most numerous in the army are destroyers, frigates and gunboats. When two fleets are arguing with each other, there is no place for cruisers in the battle line.

Light cruisers are further lightweight on the basis of cruisers, with enhanced speed and maneuverability. In essence, they are reconnaissance units, roughly similar to armored vehicles in the army.

Even if the Swan has been strengthened at all costs, it is impossible to fight against three regular army active warships. If there is only one destroyer, there is still a way to think of it, but with two frigates, there is really no way.

What's more, this cleaning team composed of three warships is obviously in the same group with the pirates.

They turned a blind eye to the pirates who also entered the artillery range and chased the Swan, while the pirates also aimed at the Swan. Damn, if there is no PY transaction, Alyssa will eat the captain's seat directly!

Fuck it, but there is still a way to think of it.

Alyssa immediately turned on the smoke generator, and behind the smoke wall of the smoke screen, a long and huge smoke dragon was dragged out, further interfering with the aiming of the Star Cluster Joint Forces warship.

As for the pirates, let them fight. Anyway, it is unlikely to hit the Swan, which is maneuvering at a large angle.

At this time, the door of the bridge was opened, and Emma and Sun Lin floated in.

"What happened?"

One of them was originally a senior researcher of the Molybdenum Group, and the other was originally a security captain. Neither of them could drive a warship, and they usually hid in their respective rooms.

Usually, when encountering pirates, they can deal with them in a few minutes. Either the pirates retreated because of the difficulty, or they were blown to pieces by the Swan. This large-angle maneuver made the two of them notice something strange, so they ran to the bridge to ask.

"The Star Cluster Joint Forces are here again."

Alyssa supported the seat belt that tied her to the seat, and one hand kept typing on the keyboard.

"Find a place to sit down and fasten your seat belts."

The Swan still needs to maneuver at a larger angle, so it would be better for them to sit down and wait than to let them go back.

When the two heard that it was the Star Cluster Alliance, they realized that it was not good, and quickly sat down and fastened their seat belts.

"Overspeed, see if you can get rid of them."

The biggest feature of the light cruiser is that its speed and maneuverability are the highest among all warships. Li Chengxi once said that the feeling of driving a light cruiser is not as heavy as imagined, just like driving a bomber, not a civilian airliner.

In fact, it is not a problem to imagine the Swan as an enlarged version of a shuttle. Its maneuverability is much faster than that of a warship that takes several minutes to turn around.

The large V-shaped engine bursts out with brilliant engine light and is in an overloaded working state, but it also gives the Swan a huge propulsion force.

The forward gear on the warship is generally one-quarter of the ship speed for the port departure speed, one-half for normal sailing, three-quarters for full speed, and the highest gear is overspeed, which is the so-called forward four.

The three-quarter gear is generally the combat cruise speed. The warship will not maintain this speed for too long. Over time, the damage to the engine is relatively serious. Usually, it sails at half the ship speed.

Speeding is only used when life is at stake.

By the way, the civilian ship did not speed.

The vibration can be clearly felt in the bridge. The engine's speeding is an abnormal acceleration mode, which increases the engine's power to the limit.

The temperature of the reactor is rising rapidly, and the energy of the magic storage pool is also decreasing rapidly.

The starlight gradually began to shift, and the beam cannon originally aimed at the Swan also deviated to the grandmother's house under the sudden acceleration. With the smoke screen blocking, it is safe for the time being.

After all, even if the Star Cluster Alliance Army is speeding, it will definitely not catch up with the Swan in terms of speed.

But it is only temporary.

The display on the side of Alyssa's captain's seat issued a beeping alarm, and then Fang Lanyin in the engine room sent a communication:

"The reactor will reach the overload limit in 20 seconds."

The reactor of the battleship is still very safe. Even if it exceeds the overload limit, it will not explode, but if it exceeds the limit, it may melt at any time.

The modification of the Swan does not include the main body. The main body includes the structure, reactor and engine, which are all original goods from the Storm Kingdom.

The current working state is equivalent to overclocking. How much the overclocking effect is and how long it can last depends on the physical condition of the engine. Even the products coming off the assembly line are somewhat different.

Alyssa dare not bet on how long the engine can last in this working state. If it exceeds the limit and melts, the Swan without the reactor will be a can floating in the void.

She stared at the countdown and ordered in the last five seconds:

"Half ship speed!"

Carlos immediately pulled the push rod back, but there was no air resistance in the void, and even if the engine power was reduced, the Swan would not slow down immediately.

The distance is enough now.

"Prepare for pulse flight!"

The engine light of the Swan began to flicker, and after three seconds, it started pulse flight and disappeared from this star field.

Use overspeed to increase the distance before the opponent can react, and then use pulse flight to further increase the distance.

This operation is correct, but if you can pulse flight, others can too.

What is needed now is the time difference.

Alyssa immediately connected to the communication in the engine room:

"Distribute the reactor power to the jump mechanism. After the pulse flight ends in ten seconds, we will immediately start the jump."

Starting the jump immediately after pulse flight will put a lot of pressure on the engine and energy supply lines, which is equivalent to using too much electricity in an instant and easily tripping.

Normally it would take a few seconds, but now I can't squeeze out a few seconds of gap.

Fang Lanyin immediately started working on her side. On Alyssa's monitor, she could see that energy was rapidly directed into the jump mechanism. Just when the pulse flight ended ten seconds later, the jump was fully charged.

She didn't even have time to see if the Allied Forces of the Stars were chasing after her, she immediately pressed the button.

The picture of the Swan was distorted, completely disappearing from the star field, and the bridge was shrouded in a white light.

After about ten seconds, the white light disappeared, and the Swan appeared in another star field.

Emma and Sun Lin looked at this scene and breathed a long sigh of relief. They thought they had escaped, but Alyssa knew that it was too early to say it was safe.

Sure enough, Anyun reported the next moment:

"Confirm the jump signal, the Star Cluster Alliance warship will be chasing you soon."

The process of jumping is to first send a signal at the jump site to confirm that the jump site meets the jump conditions, and then jump. Therefore, before the warships of the Constellation Alliance arrive, An Yun, as a psyker, can use the instruments on the Swan to amplify Discover your abilities in advance.

The Swan can jump again, but the opponent can also track the jump signal and continue chasing.

As a light cruiser, the Swan's energy reserves and reactor output are absolutely inferior to destroyers and frigates. If you continue to chase each other, you will fall into a war of attrition, which is very detrimental to the Swan.

But now there is no time for gravity navigation to erase the jump signal, which means that they may be overtaken wherever they go.

Going to the inhabited star system of the Spinning Water Federation can stop the Allied Forces of the Stars. After all, this is the territory of the Spinning Water Federation, and they don't dare to make trouble in public.

The problem is that the nearest inhabited Water Federation galaxy cannot be reached in a short time, and the Swan cannot reach it even if it runs out of energy.

This requires another way.
