Chapter 713 It's on fire

In the cockpit, the alarm sounded loudly, and the flashing red and yellow indicator lights reminded the driver that there was a hostile signal.

Alyssa shook her dizzy head and looked up at the display screen. At this time, it was like a radar, showing that several triangular targets were approaching rapidly.

This was obviously a bad omen.

Recyclers do fight over the issue of spoils, but when Alyssa escaped from the starship in a shuttle, a friendly company sent a small spacecraft to approach. Do you think this is a coincidence?

Alyssa realized in an instant that those guys were here to kill them all.

Although looking from the cockpit, only a large dark universe background can be seen, but more and more targets have entered the detection range, a total of sixteen targets, divided into two batches to attack.

This is a standard attack formation. Although it is not known where it came from for the time being, two squadrons have been sent up.

It is unlikely that this combat power can deal with the starship, but it is obvious that it is coming for Alyssa.

Sixteen against one, it would be a miracle if they can win.

Alyssa immediately grabbed the joystick.

In short, run first.

But the joystick had its own ideas. It did not turn right to escape, but turned left, as if it was going to confront the two squadrons of fighter aircraft that were approaching like the cavalry.

Having just escaped from the tiger's mouth, Alyssa's hair almost stood up in fear.

Alyssa tried to use all her strength to bend the joystick, but it was useless. The shuttle did not listen to her command at all.

"Run! You can't beat them!"

Unlike sitting on the out-of-control shuttle, this shuttle was obviously controlled by some kind of existence. Alyssa thought it should be the 'Creation Machine. God Crystal' that appeared on the screen before, so Alyssa bends the joystick while shouting, hoping to make the machine soul understand.

At this time, the oscilloscope on the side of the main control screen suddenly lit up, accompanied by a slight beep, and a man's voice appeared in the speaker below the oscilloscope:

"Who said I can't beat it? How do you know it's impossible if you don't try it?"

Alyssa was shocked on the spot. If you try, I will die!

However, the machine soul actually responded, and Alyssa hurriedly said:

"They have two squadrons! They are all experienced fighters. We should escape immediately!"

"Don't worry, I suggest you fasten your seat belt."

They can communicate, but they don't listen at all!

Not only that, as soon as the voice fell, Alyssa suddenly felt a strong acceleration, pressing her directly on the chair.

The four engines on the wings of the shuttle burst into brilliant light, and on the panel of the main console, one by one, the buttons that Alyssa didn't understand for the time being were pressed one by one, as if an invisible person was controlling the shuttle.

The screen representing the engine status instantly soared to the maximum power, and the speed was rising as fast as a stopwatch.

"No!"

Alyssa's scream echoed in the cockpit, but unfortunately, the void, like space, could not transmit sound.

–--——----

On the other side, Li Chengxi had completely entered the state. He even took the time to cut out the laptop showing Viola's picture and turned on the music player to play songs.

The fierce drum beats and screaming heavy metal music, with the volume turned up to the maximum, and the fierce engine roar in the Bluetooth speaker, Li Chengxi's adrenaline began to soar.

He remembered the scene of players driving spaceships in space in the game hall when he was a child, the excitement of experiencing flight simulation in the science and technology museum in middle school, and the magic moment on Anton Star in college.

This time, it was Li Chengxi who was ignited!

On the screen, the box representing the enemy aircraft was getting closer and closer, and even in the deep background of the universe, the strong light of the opponent's engine could be vaguely seen.

The number is indeed a bit large, but not an invincible number.

Turn the mouse wheel and select the weapon option called ion beam. The two ion cannons on both sides of the shuttle body quickly opened.

First, test the performance of the weapon.

Facing the incoming fleet for two seconds, the blue and white high-energy ions gathered into a beam, just like the tracer bullets in the machine gun, drawing several conspicuous shooting lines in the pure black background of the universe.

Because the distance was still far and it was so obvious, the attacked aircraft group instantly dispersed and easily avoided the ion beam attack.

However, when they stabilized the body again, they found that the Manta was gone.

Scanning the radar again, they found that it had gone up.

While the ion beam was fired, Li Chengxi quickly raised the nose of the aircraft, and under the rotating jet of the engine, the shuttle climbed vertically at nearly 90 degrees.

When the enemy aircraft noticed it, the Manta dived again.

Strong, too strong!

I don’t know if it’s because there is no air resistance in the void, the flying feel of the shuttle is completely different from that of the plane. The nose pointing is very flexible with the help of the direction control nozzles all over the fuselage. The strong sense of speed brought by the full engine thrust made Li Chengxi, who was looking at the screen, feel sweat in his palms.

This is much better than the experience of flight simulation driving.

The Manta, which re-entered the diving state, was like an eagle descending from the sky, fearlessly swooping down on the enemy aircraft group, as if they were the prey pigeons.

People are in the cockpit and the radar is flat. When they suddenly encounter an enemy plane that suddenly climbs and then dives, the only way to observe is to stretch their necks and look up through the cockpit glass.

But the veteran will tell you, look at the hammer, make a maneuver first.

Because while you are watching, the enemy's attack has already arrived.

Among the eight enemy planes that approached the Manta Ray first, three of them maneuvered to avoid it at the first time, and the remaining five still maintained formation flight.

It was obvious that they were newbies.

"What good players? A rookie who has flown the War Thunder for more than 20 hours will not do such a target behavior."

Originally, Li Chengxi was a little cautious when he saw that Alyssa said that the ones coming were all good players, but this test exposed him.

The muzzle of the ion cannon lit up the energy-accumulating light again, and as the body trembled slightly, several ion beams were fired at the stupid enemy planes below that had no time to maneuver.

Two eye-catching orange-red flashes immediately lit up in the pure black void, and the Manta Ray passed through the two exploding flashes without slowing down.

The power of the ion cannon is very high. Li Chengxi saw that when the two enemy planes were hit, a layer of something like a shield lit up, but they were defeated.

The problem is that this thing can't fire continuously. You can only hold the firing button for three seconds at most, otherwise it will overheat.

Although the void is extremely cold, due to the lack of a medium, it can only dissipate heat through thermal radiation, which is very inefficient.

Every time the Manta's ion cannon fires, it will be retracted into the cabin to cool down again. Although it doesn't take much time, the firepower sustainability is very poor, which needs to be paid attention to.

But it's not a big problem. You can still use it if you find the right rhythm.
