Chapter 1236 Meteorite Belt Lightning Operation (11)
In the Star Alliance, the majority of countries are small countries like the Storm Kingdom that control one or two star systems. The Storm Kingdom is even considered a tall one among the short ones. After all, it is one of the few countries in the Star Alliance that can build starships and has complete independent design capabilities. For most countries, battleships are the pinnacle of combat power.
Compared with other little brothers in the Star Alliance, both the Swirling Water Federation and the Red Maple Republic are superpowers, and the gap in national strength in all aspects is ridiculous.
And how could a superpower have only a fleet on the surface...
"What is that? Call up the optical aiming instrument!"
If Alyssa hadn't been tied to her seat with a seat belt, she would have jumped up.
The optical sight of the captain's seat is wide-angle, and the magnification is not as high as the optical sight of the weapons officer.
Long immediately operated it and projected the image onto the main screen of the bridge.
Due to the distance, only a vague outline can be seen. The appearance looks like a starship, but there is a big difference. The part that should have been the bridge now looks more like an open crossbow structure.
No one else could tell what this thing was, only Alyssa's pupils shrank slightly when she saw this picture.
"Thunder Pattern Sea Snake? Has it been put into practical use?"
The Thunder Pattern Sea Snake is a ferocious sea monster that was originally distributed in the deep sea of the Whirlpool Federation, but it is now extinct because of its high aggressiveness.
It is said that this monster can absorb thunder, and when it is angry, the lightning it sprays is enough to penetrate the sky, and even in the void, you can see exaggerated discharge phenomena.
A few years ago, when Alyssa's grandfather James was still alive, he accepted the commission of the Whirlpool Federation and secretly collected some technologies. James told Alyssa that these technologies were used to build a powerful cannon.
This is the Thunder Pattern Sea Snake Cannon.
The ultra-high compressed ion beam brings unparalleled penetration ability, and even a starship can be penetrated with one shot.
This thing is too advanced, and there are big problems in all aspects. It is far from the stage of practical use. Now it is pulled out, in fact, it is only equivalent to the level of doomsday black technology.
Strictly speaking, the lionfish that Li Chengxi drove was also the black technology of the Red Maple Republic. Although the performance of this weapon far exceeded that of the current equipment, it was not practical for a long time. Everyone had some.
The Swirl Water Federation pulled this thing out, obviously ready to fight to the death.
Immediately afterwards, a communication prompt sounded in the bridge of the Swan. Vilania wanted to ask what the Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent was, but seeing this, she could only postpone it temporarily and put on her headphones first.
"The fleet commander ordered all ships to move forward and provide fire cover."
"Do as required, move forward at half the ship speed, and the artillery can fire freely."
"Understood, half the ship speed."
The entire patrol fleet left behind the mobile aircraft carrier behind, changed the previous posture of walking around the main fleet of the Red Maple Republic, and charged headfirst while launching free artillery fire.
It seemed that the super-powerful artillery fire that could penetrate the entire star system appeared again. This time, three light blue beams passed under the Red Maple Republic fleet, and violent explosion flashes could be seen. It should have achieved results again.
But it couldn't fire many rounds.
Alyssa didn't really know much about the Thunder Serpent Project, but even with what she knew, this super-powerful ion beam consumed a huge amount of energy, and the gun barrel used to accelerate the ion beam was not strong enough to fire too many rounds. A few years ago, when Alyssa heard about this, the gun barrel of the Thunder Serpent could only fire two rounds before it melted. Even if there is some improvement now, it will probably never exceed five rounds.
The fleet commander asked the cruiser formation to fire forward, probably to cover the retreat of the Thunder Serpent gun.
Not only the cruiser fleet, Alyssa saw the engine light in the distance begin to turn, and the main fleet of the Rotating Water Federation changed the standard bombardment strategy just now, and also rushed towards the Red Maple Republic in a group charge.
And the Red Maple Republic was hit by a sudden attack, and even the shield of the reactor jammer, which was far superior to that of the starship, was defeated, and it seemed to be in a certain chaos.
Damn, could their flagship be that reactor jammer?
If you think about it carefully, it is really possible. After all, that thing is extremely resistant to attack, and it is protected by a large number of warships. It is of course the safest to put the command center there.
——The result is now a miracle.
The fleet dispatch of the Maple Republic Fleet, which was originally very disciplined, has now gone wrong. Many ships have begun to fight on their own. Normally, someone should take over the command and stabilize the fleet soon, but it takes time to do so quickly. It is impossible to complete the transfer of command instantly.
So, if we don’t take advantage of it now, what are we waiting for?
“The main gun hits, and the enemy destroyer is on fire.”
There was a violent flash from the right side of the bridge, and the system automatically turned on the shading mode to protect the eyes of everyone in the bridge.
Alyssa knew that it was the friendly ship next to her that exploded. Although the Maple Republic Fleet was temporarily in a state of fighting on its own, it did not mean that they had no ability to resist.
It was indeed reckless for the cruiser to charge the fleet, but it could not stop now!
“Notify friendly forces, evade navigation, and fire the torpedo!”
Cruisers are different from ordinary warships. Ordinary warships have turrets in front and back, so they can maximize their firepower output when facing the enemy sideways. Cruisers only have firepower arrangements on the front.
From the perspective of firepower output, the cruiser is indeed not as good as a stronger warship, but it does not need to face the enemy sideways. The advantage is that it does not need to worry about the battle line and can give full play to the maneuverability of the cruiser.
The Swirl Water Federation should be waiting for this opportunity. Now everyone wants to melt the gun barrels and cannot stop. They must destroy the opponent's living forces as much as possible before the Red Maple Republic reacts.
At this time, An Yun reported:
"New jump signals appear, the number is about 50."
Reinforcements from the Red Maple Republic?
No, according to the intelligence, there are no reinforcements from the Red Maple Republic nearby.
Alyssa immediately reacted and it was the reinforcements from the Swirl Water Federation.
The next moment, more than 50 ship signals appeared on the radar, and turned green at the same time, which was a friendly force!
This batch of ships appeared on the right side of the cruiser fleet, and immediately cooperated with the cruiser fleet to attack the Red Maple Republic fleet.
50 ships may not sound like much, but they are basically battleships and starships, which not only greatly strengthens the insufficient firepower of the cruiser fleet, but also helps the cruiser fleet withstand a lot of counterattack firepower.
The Xuanshui Federation arranged 50 support ships to come, and the meaning is very clear.
What I want is not victory, but a great victory, an irrefutable victory that can boost the national spirit!
