Chapter 715: Entering the Star Ring

In aerospace, there is a huge limitation.

This limitation is not the inability to create faster and more powerful aircraft, but the inability to create faster and more powerful manned aircraft.

The human body cannot withstand powerful overloads, especially when operating during overloads.

This is why the selection of pilots is extremely strict, and when selecting the best among the best, they must also conduct anti-overload training.

But the Manta doesn't need that.

This shuttle is like a seal that has been lifted. It can maximize its capabilities and make maneuvers that are impossible for a manned pilot to do.

Thanks to the maximum maneuvering overload of the Manta, it did not exceed the pressure limit of the void protective suit. Otherwise, Alyssa in the cockpit would not be dizzy and nauseated, but would be in a mess.

But this is definitely very difficult for the enemy.

The Manta Ray can fly in the void with incredible maneuverability, and a ninety-degree U-turn is just a basic maneuver for it.

Moreover, Li Chengqi's flying game driving experience is too rich.

He will take advantage of the large number of enemies and rely on the shortcomings of insufficient coordination between enemy aircraft to counterattack.

Space fighters often appeared chasing him. Just when he was about to take a shuttle, he suddenly noticed that they had turned around and one of his own was flying towards him. He quickly pulled the joystick to avoid it. Before he could recover from the G-force, he was suddenly hit by someone from nowhere. The Manta that came out was destroyed.

Another huge advantage is the issue of perspective.

Li Chengqi looked at the screen from a rear-end collision perspective, but of course the average driver could only look at it from the cockpit.

The viewing angles of the two are completely different. Even if multiple reflectors are installed in the cockpit, it is impossible to have a panoramic view of all the surrounding targets.

And Li Chengqi also made great use of this characteristic, often launching attacks from blind spots in his field of vision, knocking out one or two people every time he made a move.

The ion beam is powerful, but it cannot fire continuously, which is very strict for accurate shooting. Especially when flying at high speed, the shooting window is likely to be only a moment.

The space fighter pilots have never seen anyone so accurate.

But Li Chengqi felt that the shot was still wrong and not accurate enough.

This was mainly because the keyboard operation was uncomfortable and the key control was a bit anti-human. So when nearly half of the enemy's two squadrons of space fighters were slaughtered and even began to prepare to retreat, Li Chengqi decided to change the operation method.

"An enemy plane is approaching again!"

"Don't panic, just drive for a while, I have something to do."

"ah?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Alyssa saw that the operating lever that had been turning wildly just now suddenly returned to its original position and became motionless.

What are you doing at this time?

At this time, there was someone chasing behind her. Alyssa immediately grabbed the operating lever. She was really just like Carlos said, she just knew how to drive.

Alyssa stared at the reflector nervously, noticed the flash coming, and immediately broke the joystick and dived.

But her maneuverability was far inferior to Li Chengqi's, and the cockpit immediately vibrated.

The main control panel displays the message ‘Shield energy is reduced, danger, shield energy is reduced’

The main armament used by space fighters is weapons similar to machine guns, which have strong continuous fire capabilities but are not as powerful as ion beams.

The purpose of choosing this weapon is to improve the hit rate. After all, not everyone can bombard mosquitoes with a cannon while flying at high speed.

"You're not okay yet! I can't hold it anymore!"

"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

Over there, Li Chengqi slowly opened the drawer under the coffee table in the living room and took out a game controller.

This thing is a domestically made handle that I bought for playing horse-drawn carriage with Adas. It is a bargain.

The main reason is that Li Chengqi does not have such high requirements for the feel, as long as it feels comfortable to the touch.

But the keys are so anti-human, which makes it uncomfortable. Let’s try using a controller instead.

"I'm here, let go."

Thanks to the fact that all current controllers support one-click linking, Alyssa was hit again, and the shield was already at a point where it would collapse in the next moment.

At this time, the operating lever broke away from Alyssa's hand and became 'automatic' again.

Don't tell me, don't tell me, the handle really works.

Li Chengqi has always believed that playing shooting games with a controller is purely a brain defect, and no matter how skilled you are, it will never be as good as keyboard and mouse operations.

But controlling the manta ray is not a 'point' movement in conventional FPS games, but an 'axis' movement.

To put it simply, in general FPS games, you can turn around in seconds, but in driving simulation games, if you want to turn around, you have to turn the entire body.

At this time, using the mouse to operate is not accurate enough, not to mention the keys are too anti-human. When you replace it with a handle, the comfort immediately increases a lot.

There is no need to press keys anymore, but just push the joystick and you can move freely and enjoy silky smoothness.

Then Alyssa saw that the Manta used an even more exaggerated maneuver than before, flexibly dodged the firing line, and made a U-turn. The moment it met the enemy plane behind it, it turned into a A spark in the void.

"What kind of machine spirit are you! Autopilot is not that powerful!"

"I'm not a machine spirit."

Li Chengqi just replied, but then he stopped talking, and the machine rolled sideways at the same time.

Alyssa almost bit her tongue, but as the machine turned sideways, Alyssa saw a huge beige beam of light flying past through the cockpit. It looked like it was wiping the edge and riding on the face to output.

Alyssa immediately recognized that it was the secondary gun on her starship.

Under normal circumstances, without the captain's permission, the vice-captain can only control the starship's navigation and cannot use weapons other than anti-aircraft firepower, including main guns and secondary guns.

But he has obviously used it now, so there is only one possibility.

Manual operation.

This is reserved for the starship to have the ability to counterattack when the machine soul is disobedient. Usually only the chief gunner has this authority.

There is no chief gunner on Alyssa's ship. Usually, Long is in charge of this matter, but Long is now in a sleeping state due to injury. Carlos should have forcibly pried open the door of the secondary gun control room.

The specific reason is easy to say, and Alyssa immediately couldn't think about it, because Li Chengxi's operation of the Manta Ray was violent.

The dense artillery fire shot into the void like raindrops, and the Manta Ray seemed to be dancing in the rain. From time to time, you can see the turrets of the secondary guns above the starship turning, aiming, and firing, trying to block the maneuvering space of the Manta Ray.

Dodging blindly is not a long-term solution.

Li Chengxi glanced at the enemy aircraft displayed on the "mini-map" in the upper left corner, and pushed the joystick forward with his finger.

The body of the Manta rotated and dived vertically downward, and plunged into the star ring composed of a large number of asteroids in the welcome of artillery fire.

"Are you crazy!"

Alyssa swore to the sky that she blurted out this sentence completely instinctively.

Meteorites of all sizes quickly enlarged in front of her eyes, avoided, and enlarged again.

Even if she had to escape due to insufficient oxygen before, Alyssa did not drive the shuttle so fast. After all, with the strength of the shuttle's shield, it could not withstand the impact of hitting a meteorite at full speed.

And now, the engine icon shows that the speed has been pulled to the maximum. The Manta is traveling in the star ring. From Alyssa's first-person perspective, it looks like countless meteorites are about to hit her face.

No wonder she thinks Li Chengxi is crazy.

"You'd better save your energy and don't bite your tongue."

Li Chengxi is still calm. Anyway, even if the operation is wrong, it's not him who will die...
