Chapter 734 Mobile Aircraft Carrier

In the dark cosmic background, the flash of the explosion replaced the shining stars, but in this silent and vast hell, you will not hear any deafening noise, only the slight vibration from the metal along the soles of your feet, which makes people shudder.

Every flash represents the disappearance of life. Looking at history, you will feel that human life was worthless in ancient times.

In fact, no matter when in war, human life is worthless.

But there is a person who is not panic, not afraid, and even looks at this war from an unserious and unserious perspective.

This person is Fang Lanyin.

Li Chengxi has always regarded these as games and as fun, but it is because of playing that he will be serious.

In Fang Lanyin's eyes, it is a different scene.

When her father was 55 years old and her mother was 48 years old, Fang Lanyin was born. She is the youngest sister in the family, and there is also an age difference of 15 years between her and the youngest brother.

Because she is the youngest, she is favored, but Fang Lanyin seems to have inherited the restless bloodline in the family.

At the age of five, she almost fell off the edge of the floating island while riding a tricycle, just because she wanted to see what was on the edge of the floating island.

At the age of eight, she became interested in machinery by watching her father work. From disassembling and assembling her own tricycle, Fang Lanyin fell in love with the precision of gear rotation.

At the age of twelve, Fang Lanyin could repair all the flying motorcycles broken by the nearby motorcycle gangs. When she was fifteen or sixteen, she could repair all civilian machinery. Now she often goes to the starship of the planetary defense team to help. Although she has no qualifications and it is impossible for her to really do it, she has accumulated a lot of experience.

Fang Lanyin has learned a lot of skills, but she has nowhere to use them in the Alan Starlink.

Her excitement is not the enthusiasm for war, but the farewell to boring life.

So you can see that her reaction is completely different from that of Alyssa.

Li Chengxi drove the Manta Ray to dodge and turn, and from time to time turned the pirates' shuttle into a fireball.

Alyssa screamed when she first got on Li Chengxi's car, while Fang Lanyin cheered, even raising her hands to cheer.

——It may also be related to the fact that orcs have a higher ability to withstand pressure than humans.

And Li Chengxi...

Maybe he was inspired, his actions became bigger and bigger. He not only cooperated with the planetary defense team to encircle and suppress pirates, but also boldly rushed into the enemy fleet directly, attracted a group of firepower and then divided and annihilated them.

This is not difficult to understand.

Think about it, when you are playing games, your teammates say "you are really good", and say "you are so awesome" to a beautiful lady next to you.

Those are completely two different experiences. For Li Chengxi, it is the latter now.

Maybe it is the effect of hormones, or maybe it is because he is in high spirits. The Manta shuttled through the battlefield full of wreckage, like a meteor, becoming the brightest boy in the field.

The variable wings adjust the direction of the engine jet, and cooperate with the direction control nozzle. There is no air resistance in the void. The more the Manta can make maneuvers that aircraft cannot make, each orange flash represents a kill, and it will also make Fang Lanyin very excited. The number of kills soon reached double digits.

And the cost of a fierce operation is also obvious.

Li Chengxi glanced at the remaining ammunition. He had just refilled the 20mm cannon shells in the morning, but now there were only 50 rounds left.

50 rounds of shells sounded like a lot, but in fact, it only took one or two seconds.

The Manta was a general-purpose shuttle, a player who could do everything. The shuttle used by the pirates was specially modified by them to enhance their combat performance.

At the very least, the amount of ammunition after the modification was much more than that of the Manta.

The only disadvantage of physical ammunition was that it was very troublesome to transport and supply. In comparison, energy weapons were much more convenient.

Thanks to Fang Lanyin who specially used the fuel tank in the cargo hold to fill the Manta with liquefied magic power during the daytime maintenance, the "fuel tank" was basically full, and the ion beam also used the energy of the fuel tank, so it could still be used.

But without the cannon, it lost the means to quickly sharpen the enemy's shield, and could not take down a head in one encounter like just now.

This little difficulty obviously made it impossible for Li Chengxi to turn around and return, but it also made him withdraw from the airspace where the battle was the most intense, thinking about having another go before going back.

At this time, he saw several severely damaged shuttles retreating from the edge of the battlefield, flying towards the depths of the dark void, and the electric sparks flashing from time to time were very obvious.

The ion beam could not penetrate the shield of the shuttle at once, but this kind of disability would definitely not be a problem.

Just as he was about to chase, Fang Lanyin suddenly said:

"There must be a mothership in the direction of those shuttles."

Li Chengxi was not clear about the rules of engagement. He would only release carrier-based aircraft to fight when they were very close. In this background without missiles, everyone was firing ship guns at each other.

The damaged shuttles retreated naturally towards their own motherships, and they would definitely not be too far away.

Li Chengxi saw it and immediately realized where his last 50 machine gun shells should be used. The Manta immediately turned U-shaped, relying on the floating wreckage for cover, and followed closely behind the damaged shuttles.

Although the naval gun battle was very exciting, the pleasure of a small shuttle blowing up a warship was obviously more attractive.

So Li Chengxi did not kill the damaged pirate shuttles immediately, but quietly followed them for almost three minutes.

The dark and deep background of the universe was like a natural camouflage. It was not until he saw the lights that suddenly lit up in the darkness to assist in landing that Li Chengxi noticed the outline of the pirate ship.

It seemed to be invisible, almost melting into the deep void background. The radar confused it with the surrounding asteroids and could not detect it at all. If Li Chengxi had followed too closely just now, he might have crashed into it.

"It's a mobile aircraft carrier. How could it be so close?"

The mobile aircraft carrier Fang Lanyin mentioned is equivalent to a light aircraft carrier with about 40 to 60 carrier-based aircraft.

Compared with warships of the same level, the main guns and secondary guns were removed, freeing up a lot of space for loading carrier-based aircraft and parts and fuel, etc., specializing in carrier-based aircraft-related capabilities. Its self-defense firepower is left with manual turrets and automatic defense guns controlled by machine souls. If it is discovered by a warship, it can only passively take the beating.

This kind of mobile aircraft carrier is usually deployed in combination with warships, with the warship in the front and the aircraft carrier following behind. When it gets close enough, the aircraft carrier releases the carrier-based aircraft.

A single light aircraft carrier lurks at the forefront stealthily. This kind of fighting method has never been seen before. For example, America's aircraft carrier, they don't go out alone, they are all a whole aircraft carrier battle group.

The airborne radar on the Manta is very simple, but the radar of the planetary defense team is not so easy to fool. Even they didn't notice it. The pirates must have mastered some unique technology.

Fang Lanyin is a mechanic, so naturally he is thinking about technical matters, while Li Chengxi has only one thought in his mind.

No, I have to go.

This mobile aircraft carrier is constantly repeating the operation of retracting and launching carrier-based aircraft. There are too many enemy aircraft around, and compared with ordinary warships, the mobile aircraft carrier has stronger air defense capabilities. The disc-shaped hull is full of large and small gun barrels of different calibers.

The reason why a light cruiser was able to be killed before was because the cruiser's tail was a weakness, and the mobile aircraft carrier did not have this air defense defect. If Li Chengxi dared to go over, he would definitely be shot into a sieve.

The performance of the Manta Ray restricted Li Chengxi's performance. Even if he could avoid anti-aircraft fire and destroy the weak parts of the engine, he could not escape from the pursuit and interception of 20 to 30 shuttles around him.

The situation is here. Li Chengxi is not a player like Yang Yiyi who will rush forward and be finished. His seemingly arrogant operation is based on confidence.

In this case, retreat quickly and report the news to the planetary defense team.

Just as he was about to push the throttle lever, the red attack warning indicator appeared on the screen.

Damn, I was discovered!
