Chapter 1091 Full Launch

The Swan, which had been trying hard to hide itself just now, now has a strong presence.

Not only were all the searchlights turned on, but all the lights on the surface of the ship were also turned on, not to mention that flares and signal flares were fired one after another, coupled with the tracer bullets continuously thrown by anti-aircraft firepower, the Swan looked like a float from a distance.

But you don’t say it, you really don’t say it, the speed of the crystal lifeform approaching seemed to be really slowed down by the strong light.

Crystal lifeforms are closer to some natural phenomena. Although the life detector will react, even the direct consciousness communication method such as psychic energy cannot communicate with crystal lifeforms.

The first reaction of these guys when they found the ship was to attack it. Sure enough, the most advanced attack method is collision.

If the anti-aircraft guns that could aim at the rear of the Swan had been fired, the gun barrels would have been red, and they should have retracted the gun position to release coolant long ago, but now even if the anti-aircraft guns melted down, they must not stop.

The barrage of bullets was like a fierce jab at the tsunami, raising the waves, but it was a purple-red wave made of crystals.

What's more disgusting is that when these guys get too close, the pulse flight can't be activated.

The Swan was chased so badly, and the Star Group Alliance warships that were not as fast as the Swan were even worse.

Among them, the frigate hit by Li Chengxi's side and rear had been hit by the crystal life form. The hull was covered with a large number of crystal structures. Assimilation has begun. This ship is no longer save, and even using an escape pod is useless.

After all, the crystal life form is chasing living things. Let's not talk about how they detect living things. Anyway, the thickness of the escape pod's bulkhead is definitely not as strong as the battleship. Even the battleship cannot be spared. The escape pod is just a snack.

Some shuttles and space fighters took off from the corroded frigates and tried to take the friendly warships to escape, but...

They couldn't take care of it.

The bow was hit by two shots, and the severely damaged destroyer was assimilated to a higher degree than the frigate. It was no longer possible to see what it originally looked like. It was like a large block of crystals floating in the void.

At present, only one frigate was still resisting, and the opponent had turned around at this time. The anti-aircraft fire, which was much more dense than that of the Swan, was madly pouring ammunition on the crystals that surrounded it. At this time, it didn't even bother to see if the approaching one was a friendly shuttle.

I don't know if the frigate saw the operation of the Swan, and followed suit, firing a large number of flares and turning on the searchlight, which bought precious time for the frigate.

If you pull the perspective up to a height high enough to see the entire occupation, you will find that countless crystal life forms are now divided into two groups, chasing the Swan on one side and the frigate that is trying to break away on the other. And it may be because the frigate had two teammates before. The number of crystal life forms on its side is obviously many times that of the Swan. Whether it can escape depends on fate.

On the Swan, Alyssa ordered the rocket launcher to turn around and fire all the rockets again. All the rockets that Fang Lanyin had reloaded with great difficulty were fired now.

Compared with small and medium caliber rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns, rockets are much more powerful, and the advantage is that the firepower density is extremely high, and coverage can be formed in a short time. This instant output capability is something that traditional artillery can never match.

But the problem is that it is gone after it is fired.

Rockets are much more troublesome to re-state than traditional artillery shells. Even our army, which is the best at playing rockets on the earth, needs special loading vehicles to assist. The rocket launcher of the Swan needs to be manually stuffed one by one.

The instantaneous firepower output made the crystal life form a little farther away from the Swan. If it could fire a few more salvos, it should be able to get out of the pursuit, but this density of firepower output can only be done once, not a second time.

The Swan took this opportunity to start the engine at full speed, and the advantage of the small ship and fast speed was reflected at this time.

But there is also bad news.

"Anti-aircraft guns overheat, emergency cooling!"

The temperature in the void is extremely low, but there is a lack of heat dissipation media, so heat can only be dissipated by thermal radiation, which is very inefficient. Therefore, the anti-aircraft guns on the warships are all cooled by water jackets, that is, a layer of heat exchange tubes is placed on the gun barrel to exchange heat through the coolant.

But this cooling method also has its limits. If the trigger is kept pulled, the coolant can't stand it. Almost all the anti-aircraft guns fired from the tail had to stop urgently and retract into the gun position to cool down.

And without the blocking of the anti-aircraft guns, the distance that the rockets just shot out was caught up by the crystal lifeforms.

About ten seconds later, a sharp alarm sounded on the bridge, the shield energy was being weakened, and a crystal lifeform had already hit the shield.

The crystal lifeform is hard and brittle, and it will shatter with just a little impact, but there are too many of them.

Now looking at the Swan from the front, it looks like its butt is blooming, and circles of purple-red crystals are constantly exploding out.

"How long will it take for the anti-aircraft gun to cool down?"

"The cooling system is working at full capacity, and it is estimated to take another 30 seconds."

It is not certain whether the shield can last for 30 seconds.

Alyssa was anxious and was considering whether to launch a fixed-point torpedo.

This method is to launch a torpedo in front of your route and stop it. When the Swan approaches, it will carefully pass over the torpedo and then detonate it.

After all, the torpedo tube cannot be fired backwards, so this is the only way to hit the mines.

The problem is that the Swan has no say on when the torpedo explodes after it is fired, and the torpedo is too small and cannot be detected by radar. Even if it is the torpedo fired by the Swan itself, it may not be seen.

Don't eat the torpedo you fired yourself, that would be funny.

This is a very risky approach, but it is worth a try.

"Set the torpedo flight distance to 500 meters and set the fuse to detonate!"

Long knew what Alyssa was going to do as soon as she heard it, and she could only rely on this risky method.

As a weapons officer, Long quickly set the torpedo, and then the torpedo tubes at the bow of the Swan were opened one after another, and all 12 torpedoes were fired.

After confirming that the torpedo was fired, the Swan's hull climbed upwards by 20 degrees, slightly staggered the trajectory of the torpedo, and then returned to level flight.

The Swan's engine was running at full speed at this time, and the acceleration performance was fully deployed. The distance of only 500 meters was almost passed in a flash.

There was no vibration, no orange explosion flash, and no sound of distortion caused by the hull being pierced. This flash showed that the Swan had surpassed the torpedo.

At this time, through the viewfinder, a large orange flash could be seen exploding from the crystalline life form chasing behind. The large amount of explosives in the torpedo caused the purple-red crystals to stop flowing for a moment.

This reduced the pressure on the Swan.
