Chapter 168: Attacking the Interstellar Port

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The development of the Zerg has not been noticed by the base on the other side of the planet. If it were not for fear of alerting the enemy, those automatic monitoring stations would have been eliminated by the Zerg long ago.  On this planet now, there are only automatic bases of aliens and the booming Zerg, and the Zerg force is still gradually growing. You only need to wait for Li Ping's signal to attack.  When the time comes, what expressions will those aliens have when they are attacked from both sides? Haha, Li Ping thinks it must be very interesting. If they are messed with like this, they will basically regard him as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of him as soon as possible.  Li Ping will not let them catch him easily. Although he cannot compare with them in hyperspace jumping, in terms of maneuverability in space navigation, the Zerg have an absolute advantage.  However, considering that the capabilities of those mercenary warships are much stronger than those modified by Yu Pirates from civilian spaceships, the distance they can jump in one jump may be much greater than that of Yu Pirates.  Looking at the armor, Li Ping estimated that it didn't matter if they could withstand the stress of jumping a few times.  "Well, this issue should be taken into consideration, otherwise it will be bad if we are surrounded." Li Ping said to himself, he really had not considered this situation before.  At the same time, Crusu reported to Li Ping: "Master, all the shipworm energy cannons have been charged." The speed of fire of the energy cannon allows it to fire twice before the plasma cannon can be fired a second time.  If the Zerg can improve the efficiency of the energy conversion tissue of the energy cannon, it is not impossible to increase the rate of fire of the energy cannon.  "Then let's fire. By the way, don't aim at the warship this time, just hit the interstellar port." In order to make those aliens rush faster, Li Ping asked the shipworms to specifically aim at the interstellar port and fire.  The starport is under attack, and they will definitely be scattered on the road.  Because the performance of each spacecraft is different, some are fast and some are slow. As long as you give them enough pressure, the fast ones will definitely come first, and the slow ones will naturally fall behind. If they rely on this, the cluster advantage of their fleet will not be able to do anything.  Reflects.  If you are lucky, the Zerg may be able to kill one or two warships with the help of stress accumulation.  I don't dare to hope for a large warship, but I have some hope for a medium-sized one.  In Li Ping's fantasy, the warships had already fired the second wave of energy cannons. This time they fired after looking at their movement direction. Those warships had no choice but to watch, even if they risked their lives.  of watching the Starport being hit.  After being attacked multiple times in the same place, even the multi-layered armor of the starport could no longer hold up, and the first hole was opened in the armor.  As soon as the hole appeared, Li Ping saw a large number of debris and aliens flying out of the hole through the shipworm's visual organs.  Maybe aliens don¡¯t need oxygen, but they have no way to survive in the universe with their bodies. Not to mention that there is no gas in the universe, even low temperatures and vacuums of hundreds of degrees below zero are enough to kill these aliens.  There are a few aliens wearing protective suits inside. Although they are dizzy, they are indeed alive.  Probably the Zerg attack was too sudden, and most of the aliens inside didn't have time to put on protective clothing.  The few aliens who are still alive are all wearing protective clothing.  Li Ping never believed that aliens have three heads and six arms. They are just more technologically advanced. Without technological products, they would still not be able to survive for more than a few seconds in the universe.  "Without protective clothing, these aliens will die just like the people on Earth Huh!?" Li Ping, who was still cursing just now, suddenly discovered that there were still aliens alive without protective clothing!  It was not until dozens of minutes later that the reaction of life energy disappeared.  It seems that the alien is in good physical condition and has lasted for so long.  This also made Li Ping's curiosity increase.  He really wanted to know why the alien could survive in the universe for so long without protection.  After such a long time, those battleships were also ready and took out their trump card - laser cannon.  "The enemy's high-energy reaction has been detected." Shipworm Crusu warned.  Hearing Crusu's words, Li Ping basically knew what the battleships on the opposite side wanted to do.  If the mainstream weapons of Yu Pirates are laser cannons and particle cannons, then the mainstream weapons of mercenaries are laser cannons.  If he had not decided to attack with the idea of ??testing the power of the mercenary's laser cannon, even Li Ping himself would not have believed that even the Zerg could not have made such a hasty decision on such an action. It must have been  Li Ping will decide to act only after he has enough benefits.  "Let the tank shoot a few shots and try the power of this laser cannon." The tank Li Ping mentioned has a carapace twice as thick as that of ordinary shipworms. It has been responsible for Li Ping's location since it was born.  mothershipThe role of shield.  The shipworms with jets all over their bodies have very strong maneuverability in the universe. The moment Li Ping gave the order, these shipworms started to maneuver flexibly, with the tanks at the front and the mothership hiding behind.  middle.  After arranging the formation, Li Ping waited for the opponent to attack. He had always wanted to see how powerful the laser cannon, which was widely used by mercenaries, was.  Before waiting long, the tank reported: "Master, I have just received three powerful attacks, and the surface carapace was seriously damaged." "Under attack?" Li Ping asked with some doubts, but from the perspective of visual organs,  , there is no sight of the attack at all.  "Yes, Lord, this attack is similar to a laser weapon, but the energy density is tens of thousands of times different." Tank said his feelings honestly.  "That's it!" Li Ping figured it out now.  In fact, he was influenced by previous film and television works. Although he knew that laser cannons could not see the trajectory in the universe, he subconsciously distinguished laser cannons from laser cannons because laser cannons are much more powerful. In the universe,  There might be some traces in it.  Now think about it carefully, in fact, the laser cannon is not a laser cannon. At most, the laser cannon is pulse-emitted. It is just a pulse of firepower output, which contains more energy than the continuous output of the laser cannon.  In essence, both of them emit gamma photons, and it is impossible to show traces in a "clean" cosmic space.  "Tank, how powerful are these laser cannons?" Now that he knows this, Li Ping will pay attention to its power.  For the Zerg, power includes four aspects: range, accuracy, penetration and destructive power.  There are different evaluation criteria for each aspect, but for now, the only two things that can be estimated about a tank are its penetration and destructive power.  "Master, the penetrating power of this weapon is a little stronger than our ship-borne energy cannon, but our energy conversion carapace has a strong ability to absorb gamma photons. In terms of destructive power, it is slightly inferior to our ship-borne energy cannon."  Cannon. " "So, the laser cannon should be about the same as our energy cannon, and may be a little better in terms of accuracy." Li Ping secretly calculated various data and came to a conclusion that was neither good nor bad.  "Tank, how many more laser cannon attacks can you resist?" "Master, it's difficult to dodge this kind of attack at such a close range. If you are hit at the same point on the carapace continuously, I can resist it up to five more times."  Attack." Five times?  Yes, it is indeed a meat shield shipworm, it is meaty enough.  Li Ping just wanted to praise it, but the words stopped on his lips.  Judging from the way the corners of Li Ping's mouth turned up in the body of the shipworm, it must be something good.  In fact, it is indeed a good thing, and there are more than one.  The first thing is those aliens who traveled in vain.  A reconnaissance mosquito staying at a docking point on the galaxy route has discovered six spaceships, and they are all large warships over 4,000 meters tall.  What Li Ping is most afraid of is that these large warships remain in his hometown. If they are not attacked by massive warship insects, they really can't be defeated.  Now six of the eight large warships have returned. Even if the others return to Li Ping, there is no need to worry too much. At most, they will use the sea of ????insects.  Another thing is that the hatching of the other four shipworms has been completed.  These four shipworms are the 700-meter-level small shipworms that Li Ping began to hatch after he came to this galaxy. There is no way, there are still four shipworms whose consciousnesses have not yet had bodies, and they can only stay with their brothers.  Although it is only seven hundred meters long, this is a third-generation shipworm. It is much better than the second-generation shipworm that evolved after absorbing Knulla's crashed spaceship. It has a standard energy conversion carapace and a new type of high-temperature-resistant heavy armor.  The carapace gives it a defensive power that is not inferior to that of a large ship insect. It is equipped with second-generation energy cannons and third-generation plasma cannons, as well as a large number of particle cannons and laser cannons, making its firepower not inferior at all.  In addition to the slightly smaller insect sacs containing flying insects, their maneuverability is even much better than that of large ship insects. They also absorbed some suggestions from Bossi Passi, and each one has a large mental radar.  Of course, there are also improvements in appearance and the addition of a towing system, which have diversified the functions of this level of shipworm.  Li Ping planned to turn this length of shipworm into a low-end shipworm with multiple functions, low cost, and fast reproduction, and form a high-low match with the shipworms of more than two thousand meters.  Now that these ship bugs have hatched, they will come to support you. When the aliens arrive, your ship bugs will gather together and run away.  The advantage of the Zerg is that they are flexible and have almost zero logistical requirements. As long as it is not a particularly deserted galaxy, they can replenish their troops anywhere.  Li Ping was thinking beautifully, and the situation on the battlefield was alsoThere was a constant change, and the released mobile troops on both sides had met.  It was then that Li Ping discovered that these fighters looked very much like the ones in a movie he was familiar with. They were roughly the same.  Four small ion thrusters enable these fighters to move forward at extremely fast speeds.  The attitude adjustment nozzles all over the body allow it to turn around freely.  Fighters in the universe are different from those in an atmospheric environment like the Earth. There is no need to consider the aerodynamic shape. Only the torque effects of various thrusts need to be considered. Of course, the high and low temperatures in the universe, as well as various types of radiation, must also be considered.  Always be careful about the condition of your fuel.  Because on earth, if you don¡¯t have fuel, you¡¯ll have to skydive, as long as you¡¯re not in the middle of the ocean. But in the universe, if you don¡¯t have fuel, you can only keep flying like this and never stop, unless you are attracted by the gravity of some celestial body.  .  Therefore, even if high-density ion fuel is used, the actual range of these fighters is not far. They can only operate within two or three light seconds around the battleship, and no longer.  However, the same is true for the Zerg bugs, and the flying bugs are more maneuverable and flexible, while the flying bugs have the advantage in firepower and range.  But because the number of flying borers and flying insects of the Zerg race was large enough, no matter how different the changes were, he would not be surprised.  After they came into contact, Li Ping also learned about their attack methods, including four laser cannons in front of the engines, two unknown particle cannons on the nose, and a weapon that was probably an electromagnetic gun.  Moreover, the fuselage also carries a lot of mines, which are special mines for smaller fighter planes.  The flying boring's guide worms are slightly inferior to it, but the Zerg's guide worms are more numerous and can be used with confidence, while a space fighter aircraft more than 20 meters long cannot carry more than 50. This is counted by Li Ping himself.  of.  Although they killed many bugs, after their small mines were used up, the bugs took advantage and used wolf pack tactics to divide and surround these fighters.  These aliens did not expect that mere insects could be so powerful. It seems that the intelligence ahead was not exaggerated.  If I had known this earlier, I would have increased the garrison strength of the interstellar port based on that information, but now it is too late to say anything.  The battleships and shipworms on both sides have approached within 400,000 kilometers. At this time, the laser cannon and particle cannon have reached their optimal range, and the attacks suddenly became intensive.  The shipworm tank in front has been attacked by the third wave of laser cannons. The carapace in front is already pitted. The shipworm hiding behind occasionally shows its head to attack a few times.  The tank had almost reached its limit, and the four supporting shipworms were about to arrive. Li Ping thought, should he fire one last shot and run away?  Li Ping also didn¡¯t expect that they would ignore the damage caused by jumping stress and were determined to kill him.  If they desperately rush to get here only to find that they have escaped, they will definitely be so angry that their life span will be much shorter.  Li Ping thought that if he were an alien, he would definitely go crazy with anger. It is estimated that those aliens would be cursing him fiercely at this moment, and they must be thinking of cutting himself into pieces if they catch him.  Li Ping felt a little helpless when he thought about it, as a large group of angry mercenary thieves came towards him.  Regardless of the number, and putting aside the Yu Pirates, the mercenaries alone will suffer. After all, they are equipped with battleships.  Even if they are retired and old, battleships are still battleships. From the structural design, material selection, to the reliability of various systems, they are all different from civilian spacecraft. You can know it by looking at these battleships opposite.  .  "Well, this is just to avoid the sharp edge. It's not considered an escape. Well, it should be." Li Ping really didn't dare to take it lightly. After all, he had encountered countless unexpected situations, and it was not easy to escape from them.  He didn't want to have anything to do with these aliens anymore.  After comforting himself, Li Ping felt that his idea was quite reasonable.  On the surface, it looked like Li Ping was looking for an interface for himself, but in fact, he was planning another plan in his heart.  After thinking for a while, he decisively ordered: "Everyone rushes at the highest speed." After receiving the master's order, all six shipworms began to sprint with all their strength, regardless of the fact that the opponent's warships had slowed down.  The shipworms arranged in a row also spread out, forming a cone-shaped formation, with the tank at the arrow.  The flying boring and flying insects, from the moment the ship worm began to sprint, the attack suddenly became fierce, throwing out all the guide worms on its body without hesitation.  All of a sudden, everything in the middle was filled with bright light caused by the explosion of the guide worm.  This outbreak caused most of the fighter planes to be damaged and destroyed. The opponent only had three medium-sized battleships and several small battleships left. Only one small battleship was destroyed. It was more than enough to defend the interstellar port, but the charge of the shipworms  Let them stressThere was a huge increase all of a sudden.  Originally, ships would not fight very close to each other, because the range of weapons is very far. Only the low-energy particle cannons used by Yu Pirates have a relatively close optimal range. Like laser cannons, if they do not encounter a black hole or are attacked by  If blocked, it won't stop at all.  Moreover, once warships get close, they are prone to collision.  It is extremely serious for something of the tonnage of a battleship to collide. Even if it collides at a relative speed of several meters, combined with their masses, the energy contained in this collision will be astonishing.  Seeing the Zerg warships on the opposite side rushing towards them, these aliens couldn't help but be nervous. After all, they really collided with each other, and both ships would be destroyed and people would be killed. If they were only hit by gunfire, only a few crew members might be killed or injured in the end.  .  It is true to protect the interstellar port, but it depends on the situation. If it is a certain death situation to defend, they are also allowed to retreat on their own.  At this time, some mercenaries had already had such an idea in their minds.  Once you have an idea in your mind, you will show hesitation in your actions. This hesitation gave the Zerg an advantage. Basically, all the fighters released from the front line were wiped out, and only a few special fighters escaped.  Those fighter planes that escaped back were manned and had extremely superior performance. They wanted to escape, and even a large number of flying boring machines could not keep them.  But those that were destroyed were all unmanned.  These unmanned fighters are no less intelligent than the Zerg flying boring machines, and their costs are very low.  As long as there are no people, the cost of general weapons is not very high.  If they don¡¯t lose battleships, they won¡¯t lose too much. Dozens of unmanned fighter planes are all industrial products. They can make up for them by going back and not spending much money.  But if the pilot of the fighter plane or the spaceship is lost, it will have a huge impact on the mercenaries. Even if the battleship is lost a lot, it is not impossible for the mercenary group to be disbanded.  However, mercenaries will not choose to evacuate unless they have to, because credit is the most important thing to mercenaries. No matter what, if the task is not completed, credit will be lost, and credit will become less and less.  The missions and mission rewards are also smaller, so the cost invested in the purchase of weapons and equipment and training will be reduced. It is simply a vicious circle.  ;
