Starfighter

Chapter 3: Key signal

Views:

As a dazzling white light flashed, the "Faji" rushed out of the space jumping channel.

Although it is not the first time to take a space jump on the "Faji", as before, Yang Yi has a feeling similar to motion sickness.

"My goodness."

"Quick, get ready to fight!"

Hearing the exclamation of Zhong Lili and Lin Jia, Yang Yi quickly woke up. Seeing the scene ahead, he was also stunned.

The outpost was surrounded by dozens of warships from the Silicon Magic Alliance. The battle was still going on, with artillery shells and bombs raining down, and explosions continued. The outpost was also firing back, but the firepower was very weak, and it did not pose a threat to the surrounding enemy ships, and it was not even a tickle.

"The'hair bun' called'old mother', please answer when you receive it."

"Rookie, what are you doing in a daze? Are you planning to kill the enemy with your eyes, or are you planning to swallow the enemy with your open mouth?"

Pushed by Zhong Lili, Yang Yi suddenly recovered.

"You are in charge of the laser cannon above, and you are fighting the enemy!" Zhong Lili quickly opened the weapon control interface.

How dare Yang Yi hesitate and immediately activate the weapon control system.

"Faji" has two self-defense laser cannons, one on the abdomen and the other on the back, forming a full range of defensive firepower. In addition to the need for a pilot, the "Bun" needs two gunners, so a field team consists of three people.

The way to operate the laser cannon is very simple, just control it on the virtual interface, and the outside scene is directly projected in front of the operator.

"The enemy ship is out of range, don't fire, listen to my orders." Zhong Lili's tone was indiscriminate.

Yang Yi didn't say much. It was the first time he had operated a laser cannon, and it was also the first time he took part in battle. Naturally, he had to obey the commands and instructions of the veterans.

"The'hair bun' call..."

"Lin Jia, it's me, Lao Luo."

"Lao Luo, we are back, where are you?"

"Don't come over, get out of here quickly."

The projected image of Luo Zhanxing is very blurry, still shaking, and the communication quality is not very good, indicating that the communication has been disturbed.

"The enemy has conducted full-band interference and has not blocked directional communications for the time being. The outpost has been attacked and is about to fall. You have to run away and send the message to the theater command and the fleet command. The Silicon Magic Alliance invaded, the sixth Greenwich. The war has broken out."

"Lao Luo, I can't leave you behind, I..."

"This is an order, not for us, but for the entire human confederation. You must send the message to prepare the confederation for war."

"But… "

"No, but execute the order."

"Lao Luo..."

Luo Zhanxing has already turned around, but the communication has not been interrupted.

"Brothers, are you all ready? The gangsters of the Silicon Charm Alliance launched a surprise attack and wanted to destroy us in one fell swoop. Let's kill them now, let the gangsters pay the price for the aggression, and let the gangsters see how we are. Brothers, Come with me!"

The image disappeared and communication was interrupted.

In the distance, a group of soldiers dressed in space combat uniforms and armed with electromagnetic guns rushed out of the outpost, rushing to the enemy warships one after another.

Compared with huge warships, human fighters seem too small.

Even the laser cannons in the outposts cannot pose a threat to the enemy's warships. How can the electromagnetic guns in the soldiers' hands pose a threat to the enemy's ships

"Sister Lin Jia, rush over!" Zhong Lili yelled loudly.

"Faji" was far away from the battlefield, and the enemy ship was out of the range of the laser cannon. Now the firing is no threat to the enemy ship. Seeing the comrades who were getting along day and night rushing towards the enemy ship like moths to the fire, Zhong Lili was about to vomit blood, and she wished to rush up to fight the enemy desperately.

However, the "Faji" did not continue to advance, but began to turn.

"Sister Lin Jia..."

"Lao Luo is right. We must send the news back to prepare the Federation for war, otherwise more people will be poisoned."

"But… "

"We will avenge them, but not now."

"Faji" began to accelerate, but was affected by the battle, and the space was very unstable, unable to enter the jumping channel.

"Damn!" Zhong Lili cursed loudly, and hit the control panel of the weapon system with a punch.

Yang Yi's heart was also very heavy. The outpost was besieged by the enemy. The commander, Major Luo Zhanxing, led the last batch of officers and soldiers to launch a final attack. Even if there were some officers and soldiers alive in the outpost, they would be brutally killed by the enemy before the end of the battle. In the war between the two camps, because the essence of life is completely different, there is no such thing as receiving prisoners of war. In the five full-scale wars over thousands of years, neither side has received capture. Although I have only been here for a month, and the relationship with the veterans is not harmonious, apart from Lin Jia who has always taken care of him, there is also the hard-talked Zhong Lili, Yang Yi and the other officers and soldiers are very ordinary, but everyone lives in the same Under one roof, not all friends are comrades-in-arms. Thousands of comrades-in-arms died in battle, and even if Yang Yi was hard-hearted, it was difficult to calm down at this time.

Grief returned to grief, Yang Yi did not relax his vigilance.

When the "Fuji" turned, he turned the muzzle of the laser cannon to the rear, always aiming at the post and the enemy ships surrounding the post.

"Lili, it's not that I don't want to save them, but there is no way, we..."

"Sister Lin Jia, I understand, there is no need to explain." Although Zhong Lili has a straightforward character, it is not that she does not understand the priorities.

"carefully!"

Hearing Yang Yi's shout, Zhong Lili immediately opened the control interface of the laser cannon.

"At six o'clock, three enemy planes approached at high speed. Sister Lin Jia, we were found."

"I see, fire freely."

Lin Jia gave an order, and Yang Yi immediately pulled the trigger and fired at the front enemy plane. It was a bat-shaped space fighter, not only fast, but also very flexible. Although Yang Yi reacted quickly and the firepower of the laser cannon was fierce, he failed to hit the enemy plane.

"Rookie, take aim before hitting, don't waste ammunition!"

"Mind your own business."

Yang Yi could see clearly that Zhong Lili was also empty, and the speed of light shot by her passed by an enemy plane without causing damage to the enemy plane.

In fact, what a laser cannon fires is not a cannonball, but the speed of light, which is energy.

"Faji" has only one prime energy converter, which provides energy for all equipment including thrusters and laser cannons. In other words, if the laser cannon consumes too much energy, the energy provided to the thruster will be reduced, and the speed of the spacecraft will not rise.

"Rookie, you are so embarrassed to say me, I almost hit at least, how about you?"

"Fifty steps, one hundred steps, what's the difference between almost and a lot of poor, it's all missed." Yang Yi is fed up with Zhong Lili's cynicism, and he can usually restrain himself. Now he is very nervous, and he can't speak through the brain. , I told my real thoughts at once.

"You dare to laugh at sister, I..."

"Shut up both of you!" Lin Jia became angry. "Aim and fire again. Don't waste energy. Put on an oxygen mask and turn off the life support system after ten seconds. Those are three Firebat fighters. If you don't shoot them down, we will be finished."

How dare Yang Yi hesitate, immediately put on an oxygen mask.

With the protection of an energy barrier and shutting down the life support system, the temperature in the cabin of the "Faji" will not drop rapidly, and can be maintained for at least ten minutes, but the oxygen will soon be exhausted. In other words, Yang Yi and the others had to shoot down the three enemy planes that they were pursuing within ten minutes.

"Rookie, the enemy plane at three o'clock, you fire to the right, and I fire to the left to see how it hides."

"clear."

"Three, two, one, fire!"

The two squeezed the trigger at the same time, and the two laser cannons shot deadly beams at the same time.

After being attacked, the "Fire Bat" fighter immediately turned to avoid it, and as a result, it hit the beam on the right side and was cut in half by the high-energy laser.

"Sister Lili, how? I don't think you should call me a rookie." It was the laser cannon controlled by Yang Yi that hit the enemy plane.

"Rookie, just hit the enemy plane, your ass is up to the sky?"

"How many enemy planes have you fought?"

Zhong Lili was speechless, this was the first battle she participated in, and there was no record to show off.

"Have you two quarreled enough? There are two more..."

Before Lin Jia finished speaking, the spacecraft shook violently.

Two enemy aircraft approaching from the right were firing fiercely, and dozens of shells hit the "Bun". How dare Yang Yi and Zhong Lili delay, they immediately fired at the two enemy planes.

"Alarm, warning, No. 2 steering thruster failure, steering system failure."

The steering thruster was damaged, and the "Haji" was unable to maneuver and became a living target of the enemy aircraft.

"Go to the escape pod."

"Sister Lin Jia..."

"Leave me alone, I have to send the message." Lin Jia didn't look back, typing instructions on the control panel.

"No, I won't go, I want to go together, I won't leave you." Zhong Lili had already stood up, very stubborn, making it clear that she would not obey Lin Jia's orders.

"Xiao Yang, what are you doing?" Lin Jia suddenly turned around and looked behind Zhong Lili. Zhong Lili was taken aback, turned her head quickly, and found that she had been fooled.

Lin Jia didn't give her a chance, and when she turned her head, she slashed her palm on the nape of her neck.

All this came so quickly, Yang Yi just left his seat.

"Take her to the escape pod."

"But… "

"This is an order." Lin Jia pushed Zhong Lili into Yang Yi's arms. "Even if you flee the spaceship now, if the reinforcements fail to arrive in time, you will live a few more hours longer than me. Promise me, if you are lucky enough to survive, kill all the miscellaneous pieces of the Silicon Magic Alliance and avenge me."

"I'll be waiting for you in the escape cabin." Yang Yi knew what was important and didn't argue with Lin Jia.

After Lin Jia nodded and agreed, Yang Yi picked up Zhong Lili and ran towards the rescue capsule.

Outside, the two "Firebat" fighters had turned and flew back, continuing to fire on the "Bun".

In the cockpit, Lin Jia activated the directional communication device, pointed the antenna at the nearest post 7778, and sent out the news of the attack. The anti-interference ability of directional communication is very strong, but the communication distance is limited, theoretically it cannot be used for communication between posts. Lin Jia had no other way but to send the message with the mentality of a try, hoping that post 7778 would receive the signal.
