"This is the USS Enterprise. The coordinates... A UFO has been discovered and is approaching your ship at a speed of 60,000 kilometers per hour. Approval for firefight. Repeat, approval for firefight!"
"Frontier received it, the entire ship has entered the first level of preparation, and the mass bombs are being loaded..."
In the bridge of the Frontier, all the officers and soldiers on the ship were standing ready.
The images sent from the Enterprise showed that there was an anomaly floating behind the asteroid that seemed to be the characteristics of a harmonious civilization. Although this kind of observation anomaly has not happened before, no matter which time they made the same choice.
I would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go!
The Frontier, which bore the brunt of the attack, immediately started its auxiliary engine and adjusted the ship's bow in the direction of the asteroid. The Enterprise quickly moved closer to the Frontier, while the Judgment, which was relatively far away, began to slow down. The ship's bow was also aimed at the asteroid that was pushed in front, and at the same time, it opened the torpedo room at the bottom.
"The mass bomb is loaded."
"Capacitor charging begins..."
"Charging completed!"
"emission!"
Following the captain's order, the gunner sitting on the bridge pressed the button on the touch panel without hesitation.
White light flashed for an instant, and the fifty-meter-long cylindrical mass bomb was accelerated to the limit by the magnetic track and blasted towards the asteroid at an incredible speed. Under the effect of conservation of momentum, the starship suddenly froze.
Even everyone standing on the bridge felt the huge recoil coming from the bow of the ship.
The ten-ton heavy-duty tungsten core mass bomb is almost the most destructive means of killing on the Frontier. According to the ballistic trajectory and expected impact point calculated by the battlefield computer, if the mass bomb hits the target, the asteroid will undoubtedly be torn into pieces.
Looking at the holographic screen, Frontier Captain Yue Dongwen's eyes were fixed on the flashing blue dot in the star map, approaching the asteroid marked by the red dot, and his palms were almost sweating.
Suddenly, the vector parameters next to the red dot on the star map suddenly changed, deviating from the original orbit. Yue Wendong's pupils shrank slightly. It seemed that the insect ship should be equipped with some kind of battlefield scanning equipment... or organs.
The originally fatal blow was dodged, and the cylindrical mass bomb missed the asteroid in front and hit another asteroid in the Kuiper Belt, directly blasting it into pieces. .
Without any hesitation, Yue Dongwen made a decisive decision and gave the order loudly.
"Launch the carrier-based aircraft! Open the torpedo room!"
"yes!"
In the hangar of the carrier-based aircraft, pilots wearing helmets got on the Electric Ray A-1 one after another. Under the traction of the mechanical arm, one after another the carrier-based aircraft entered the tubular ejection runway. Under the acceleration of the magnetic rail, they were launched one after another in the direction of the insect ship.
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield.
The Judgment, which had already completed its firing preparations, launched a nuclear torpedo.
In space operations, the lethality of thermonuclear weapons can be said to be quite limited because they cannot form gas shock waves. But engineers from the future military industry have modified this nuclear torpedo. Behind the front-end medicine cover, there is a huge amount of metal with strong thermal conductivity.
It goes without saying how terrifying the metal jet driven by thermonuclear weapons is...
The engine of the nuclear torpedo flashed an orange-red tail light.
The nuclear torpedo with built-in guidance function, after two acceleration changes, bit the face of the asteroid, blocked all its possible escape routes, and directly hit the target! At the moment when the nuclear torpedo exploded, the metal jet that was heated to semi-vaporization instantly radiated terrifying energy in a fan-shaped direction toward the interior of the asteroid.
I saw that the asteroid with a radius of several hundred meters was as if a thermonuclear reaction had occurred inside. Curved lava-colored cracks leaked out on the surface, and the whole thing exploded into pieces in the slow-motion lens.
And with the explosion of this layer of cover, the insect ship hiding behind the asteroid and waving its tentacles was finally fully revealed in front of everyone.
"Hit target! Asteroid smash!"
"The body is exposed!"
"The target is confirmed to be a harmonious civilization insect ship, suspected to be a harmonious civilization colony ship!"
Although the target was hit, there were no cheers from the bridge of the Judgment.
Everyone knew that what was destroyed was just the disguise of the insect ship.
"Is this the legendary colonial ship... only so small?" Luo Hong's eyes were fixed on the squid-shaped insect ship on the screen.
It is hundreds of meters wide and high. If the tentacles behind it are fully opened, the length may reach two thousand meters or even three thousand meters. It is much larger than the Seagull class starship, but compared with the Envoy class, it is still a little thin. point.
His intuition told him that if it were a colonial ship from a harmonious civilization, it should be a little bigger than this.
But after searching the entire star map, the radio detection system only told him this information.
The insect ship blocking them was the only intruder!
"Prepare broadside fire!"
"The capacitor is charged!"
"emission!"
Aiming at the insect ship on the right side, the Enterprise's side armor bounced off pieces of scale-like steel plates, flashing continuously with bursts of dazzling white light, like neon lights flashing at midnight. The small mass bomb accelerated to the limit roared towards the airspace where the insect ship was located, almost blocking all its escape routes.
The volley continued for a long time.
Perhaps knowing that it could no longer escape, the insect ship simply gave up its meaningless maneuver, increased its speed and rushed towards the Frontier. Mass bombs hit its front end one after another, and the flesh-red armor was peeled off into layers of unknown flesh-like fragments.
At this moment, the front end of the insect ship suddenly turned red.
Looking at the image on the holographic screen, a warning sign suddenly rose in Luo Hong's heart. Almost subconsciously, he yelled at the combat personnel on the bridge.
"The bombardment is terminated! Expand the shield!"
The coverage shot of the mass bomb stopped, and a thin yellow film spread from the outside of the Enterprise. Almost at the same time, a red beam suddenly flashed and hit the side of the Enterprise's graviton shield.
Looking at the shield energy tank falling straight down, cold sweat broke out on Luo Hong's forehead.
If it hadn't responded quickly, the consequences would have been disastrous...
On the other side, all two hundred carrier-based aircraft on the Frontier have taken off.
Together with another two hundred unmanned wingmen, four hundred small aircraft formed a circular attack formation 700,000 kilometers ahead of the Frontier, turning into blue light spots and actively attacking the insect ship. Go up.
At the same time, on the opposite side of the insect ship, the flesh membrane on the side suddenly bulged, and then exploded. One after another, the miniaturized insect ships were ejected from the bursting flesh membrane. Under the influence of unknown driving force, they waved their slender tentacles towards the Frontier's carrier-based aircraft.
The distance between the insect ship and the Frontier is only one million kilometers.
The two sides have entered into a hand-to-hand fight...
