Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 318

Faced with the sudden barrage of four beams of light, the 1003 heavy frigate, which was not in good condition, did not choose to take the hit head-on. Instead, it used its excellent maneuverability to retreat into the shield range of the Bifang aerospace carrier platform and escaped the concentrated fire.

Four slender torrents of energy crashed into the second layer of the Bifang's shield, causing only minor ripples.

However, after calculation, the main control AI of the Bifang provided specific data on this round of attacks: the attack intensity that the guard-class shield could not withstand.

After confirming the data, another heavy frigate moved closer to the Bifang aerospace platform and began operations outside the Bifang's shields.

To alleviate the pressure on the Bifang's shield, Olivia adjusted its formation, completely removing the flagship from the shield range of the Bifang spacecraft platform, and positioning itself as a node of the second joint shield.

Meanwhile, in order to enhance strike efficiency, the joint shield was activated again, and all warships' engines were put into standby mode, supplying all energy to weapons, fire control, and shield systems.

Upon seeing the opposing fleet raise its combined shields, the silicon-based bio-captain pondered for a moment before turning the muzzles of the four floating cannons and firing at the fixed turrets on the rear hemisphere of the ship.

For cost reasons, none of the fixed weapons in space are equipped with shield systems; they are only equipped with low-power attitude stabilization nozzles and a solid-fuel engine.

However, faced with the "beams" that swept across like lightsabers, fixed weapons with limited nozzle rotation angles were successively taken offline, with only a few fixed weapons located at the edge of enemy crossfire escaping unscathed.

However, due to the weightless environment in space, the debris generated when the fixed weapons exploded flew at high speeds in space. Faced with a large number and dense amount of debris, the few remaining fixed weapons had no room to dodge and were forced to go offline.

Faced with these fragments, even a stealth reconnaissance ship in stealth mode, searching for a firing opportunity at the stern of an enemy vessel, could not guarantee that its optical stealth layer would not be damaged. It had no choice but to take evasive action and leave its original firing position.

While the stealth reconnaissance ship was dodging debris, the energy fluctuations from its tail nozzles were detected by the enemy's main ship, which was then followed by a precise strike from the floating cannons.

Faced with an imminent attack with no room to evade, the captain of the stealth reconnaissance ship had no choice but to order the shields to be deployed and electromagnetic interference smoke bombs to block enemy observation and withstand the attack.

The ship's 144 electromagnetic interference smoke bombs were launched instantly, forming a hemispherical smoke wall that was opaque and impenetrable to electromagnetic waves over a very large area.

When the beam of light pierced through the smoke and struck the shield directly, the collision between the two generated an extremely strong energy fluctuation.

After detecting this energy signature using sensors onboard the reconnaissance ship, the captain quickly overloaded the thrusters, giving the ship an extremely high initial velocity.

The sudden surge of G-force pressed him firmly into the captain's chair, rendering him immobile. After struggling to set the engine's operating program, the rush of blood blurred his vision.

In his last moments before losing consciousness, he managed to utter a sound.

"Control of this ship is transferred to the shipboard main control AI. Top command: Return to base!"

As soon as the voice faded, the captain fell into a coma.

[Captain unconscious! Nanoneedles injected and channeling administered.]

[Data link signal normal, torpedo warming up.]

Electromagnetic signal shielding is normal; flight route planning to begin.

[Five, four, three, two, one, a strong recommendation for "Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet"! Straight to the exciting part. Engines shut down, high-pressure gas thrusters activated, heading: X-axis -7 degrees.]

[Speed ​​stabilized, out of the range of space debris radiation, optical stealth system activated, preparing to disengage from the smoke.]

[Target shield coverage area switch detected, firing window established, torpedoes released.]

The launch hatch at the front of the stealth reconnaissance ship opened, and the last two heavy torpedoes were launched by the electromagnetic catapult.

Immediately afterwards, the high-pressure gas navigation correction system on the missile body was activated, propelling the missile body upward from the negative X-axis direction of the enemy.

The stealth reconnaissance ship also relied on the initial velocity provided by its previous stealth overload to glide out of the smoke.

After completing the course adjustment, the main control AI shut down the high-pressure gas thrusters, putting the ship into a complete gliding state.

Meanwhile, to avoid revealing the ship's position through electromagnetic waves, the main control AI shut down the radar array and communication system, retaining only the optical observation array to observe the surrounding situation.

Looking at the smoke wall in the distance and the reconnaissance ship that suddenly went offline, Lorraine and Olivia didn't pay much attention to it. After learning that no additional space debris had been observed, the two focused all their attention on the enemy warship.

"Xu Yun, what's the status of the carrier-based aircraft formation?"

"Commander, there are 17 carrier-based aircraft remaining, with sufficient ammunition, and resupply has been completed."

"Prepare to launch carrier-based aircraft to support the mech squadron's withdrawal, and simultaneously launch an attack from the vulnerable areas of the shield."

"receive."

"Air Commander!"

"Roger! Anti-ship munitions are fully loaded and ready for launch."

The hatches under the wings on both sides of the huge flying wing hull opened, and 17 carrier-based aircraft were launched in an orderly manner by electromagnetic catapult tracks, gliding silently in space in stealth mode.

At the same time, when the evacuation order was transmitted again via data link to the boarding team located inside the enemy ship, the pilot of JS047 was still trying to terminate the evacuation.

After the second evacuation order was issued, he abandoned the evacuation, uploaded his original code and historical data to his mecha through the quantum communication system, and then disappeared into the passage.

Immediately afterwards, the gate of the passage was lowered due to the detection of an airtight breach, completely isolating it from the hangar.

There were no enemies outside the hangar at this time, but the gate to the passage had already been closed, separating the hangar from the outside world into an isolated island.

Seeing this, JS047 easily found the maintenance tunnel next to the passage and used his dual-mode rifle to cut open the locked hatch.

After briefly confirming the target's location using the map in the maintenance tunnel, JS047 began to move forward cautiously but quickly.

Through the brief activation of the data link, he vaguely learned about the enemy's flagship. In order to end the battle with minimal losses, he chose to disobey orders and return to the enemy flagship's hull.

As it moved through the maintenance access route, JS047 shut down some of its own systems, transferring that energy to the observation system, which used its auditory system and magnetic field observation device to monitor the external environment.

As he made his way toward the main control room, he discovered that only a very small number of silicon-based lifeforms were still active inside the ship. Although most of them were maintaining equipment, some of the humanoid silicon-based lifeforms were behaving extremely strangely.

JS047 stopped and used a spying device to observe the behavior of these silicon-based organisms and their environment in detail, and stored the recorded data in a backup device.
