Chapter 1107 Emergency Landing Operation (3)

The attitude stabilized again, the speed decreased, and the Swan ended the dangerous operation of skipping in the atmosphere, and the altitude was rapidly decreasing.

The bottom of the ship first touched the atmosphere, bursting with intense light and heat, and almost all ships would be burned at this step.

After all, most ships are designed for space travel and have not considered entering the atmosphere.

The Swan was originally the same, not capable of flying in the atmosphere, but it was modified at the royalist base.

It is now an assault landing ship with the appearance of a light cruiser and the combat power of a high-speed destroyer.

All equipment arranged on the surface of the ship, such as anti-aircraft guns, were all retracted. The huge ship, more than 300 meters long, fell into the atmosphere, like an oversized fireball, and was performing air braking.

The entire bridge was full of rumbling noises and loud noises. Although the modified Swan had the ability to enter the atmosphere, this was the first time. If the technical ability of the royalists was not up to standard, everyone would have to drown in the atmosphere.

——It's a bit romantic to say this.

Through the porthole on the bridge, we can see that the assault landing ship that was chasing the Swan just now also began to break into the atmosphere. From the ground, it looked like a group of fire meteors streaking across the sky, which was very spectacular.

In fact, this scene happened in every corner of this habitable planet. The Swan encountered only one of the powerful enemy landing ship fleets. This number of people is not enough to suppress a habitable planet.

It is the most dangerous when it is in the descent phase. There is no room for operation, and once something goes wrong, it is impossible to do it again. It must be successful once.

When I went to the Storm Kingdom before, I also broke into the atmosphere, but that time I used the Manta. The shuttle itself has the ability to travel back and forth in the atmosphere, which is completely different from the Swan, which was modified later.

So many people in the bridge prayed silently, praying that nothing would happen.

"You might as well pray to me."

At this tense time, the only one who was not nervous was Li Chengxi.

An Yun grabbed the holy emblem hanging around his neck. He has been wearing this thing since the prison.

"Will it be useful to worship you?"

"No, it's just a psychological comfort."

"..."

He was really honest.

The intense red light enveloped the Swan, and the vibration in the bridge made everyone very uneasy. As for the route?

Who cares about the route? Wherever it drifts to, it's fine. I hope it doesn't deviate too much.

Maybe the royalist's technology is really reliable, or maybe the Swan is blessed by the true God. In short, everyone saw the intense red light outside the porthole slowly disappearing.

They broke through the thermal barrier and successfully entered the atmosphere.

The four structures like half legs in front and behind the Swan began to rotate with the help of hydraulic power, and the engine nozzles were aimed at the bottom of the hull.

The floating engine started, further decelerating, and allowed the Swan to fly steadily in the atmosphere.

But now is not the time to rest assured.

The same operation also appeared on the assault landing ship not far away. They are specialized in entering the atmosphere, so of course there is no problem.

It is impossible to fire during the descent phase, which will completely damage the turret, but the thermal barrier has been broken, so we have to continue to join in the fun.

More than a dozen beams intertwined, and two of them hit the shield of the Swan.

"Secondary guns aim! Test fire!"

"Understood, secondary guns aim!"

Of course, the Swan would not wait to be hit. The two secondary guns on the bow turned and aimed at the nearest assault landing ship.

During the high-speed descent, it was still a gravity environment. This shot naturally did not hit the target, but perhaps because the assault landing ship was too close, it did not hit the targeted ship, but hit the one behind it.

The Swan can break into the atmosphere, but it is still a warship in essence, and its firepower is not comparable to that of a troop carrier such as an assault landing ship.

Once it ran down, the ship that was hit exploded on the spot, and countless large and small fragments were scattered, which could be fragments of the ship or the people on board.

The shipboard computer immediately recalibrated the shooting parameters, and Alyssa immediately issued a free fire order.

In the atmosphere, ion beams can be fired relatively accurately, but physical weapons are difficult to fire accurately because they are affected by gravity and air resistance.

But it's not a big problem. If we can't be accurate, we can just cover with firepower.

The anti-aircraft guns of the Swan were pushed out again, and they fired at the fleet of assault landing ships.

It's really a death wish for a fragile landing ship with weak firepower to fight with a warship, but now that it has broken through the heat barrier, it is still in the descending stage. It is unlikely that both sides will change their routes at a large angle, which makes maneuverability dispensable.

Simply put, both sides are now standing still and bombarding each other. Although the number of assault landing ships is large, their firepower and protection indicators are far inferior to those of the Swan. For a while, the sky was full of orange explosion flashes and a large amount of debris was thrown out.

Carlos, who was staring at the helmsman's panel, reminded loudly:

"Ten thousand meters!"

When it reaches a distance of ten thousand meters, the Swan's floating engine can really play a role and provide the Swan with sufficient maneuverability.

But at the same time, the assault landing ships on the other side that were hit after reaching this altitude were also the same.

After all, both sides used the technology of the Red Maple Republic.

They began to disperse and maneuver, which greatly reduced the hit rate of the Swan.

However, at this time, black clouds began to explode in the sky one after another. Alyssa knew at a glance that it must be the anti-aircraft artillery fire on the ground.

Because there are no missiles, the anti-aircraft artillery on the planet can only attack high-speed aircraft at about 10,000 meters, and it cannot hit higher.

The Swan does not have the emblem of the Red Maple Republic, and the people below also saw that the Swan was attacking the assault landing ship of the Red Maple Republic. The anti-aircraft artillery did not aim at the Swan, which was a blessing in disguise.

Because of the assistance of ground anti-aircraft firepower, the pressure on the Swan suddenly decreased, but the assault landing ship was also more scattered, and began to fly in a zigzag shape. While avoiding anti-aircraft artillery fire, the artillery at the bottom of the hull also fired back.

Yes, the assault landing ship is the only warship that will install the main weapons in the lower half of the hull. After all, what they do is to attack from below.

Alyssa opened the viewfinder under the hull and saw a large urban area below. From time to time, you can see the flash of artillery firing in the urban area.

"Search the coordinates, let's go find the factory that Benning mentioned."

Although the altitude of 10,000 meters is controllable, the buoyancy engine cannot maintain this altitude. After all, it is a buoyancy engine, not a scramjet engine.

It is wise to use the altitude to exchange speed while the altitude has not been completely reduced.

But soon, something went wrong again.

"A new assault landing ship appeared, right above our heads!"

Damn it, it's not over yet!
