Chapter 291 Clearing the Right Half
Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of science fiction novels.
After confirming that the flagship had entered the attack range, the two assault ships guarding Xu Yun quickly moved forward and overloaded their shipborne laser main guns.
The sudden increase in firepower did indeed halt the pursuit of the enemy's space carrier and escort ships for a short period of time. The commander of the No. 3 space carrier took the opportunity to change position, sending the improved escort ship next to him forward to use its port-side weapons to block the enemy's advance and block the firing range of both carriers.
Just then, the No. 3 flagship, which was undergoing repairs, was hit by artillery fire. The salvo from the main fleet of the No. 1 team instantly destroyed the severely damaged No. 3 flagship, which broke into several pieces and drifted into space.
The fastest reconnaissance ship had already reached the stern of the No. 3 team's space carrier and launched four torpedoes into blind spots of some of the interceptor weapons.
The sudden torpedo instantly destroyed the main thruster on the left rear of the space carrier, causing it to veer to the right, and part of the ship was thus removed from the shadow of the escort ship.
Xu Ling controlled the space carrier and decisively opened fire. Four incompletely charged particle beams hit the unprotected hull, successfully damaging it.
The cost was that the already dwindling shields of our own aircraft carrier were destroyed by the enemy's frigate.
Xu Yun controlled the two assault ships to advance rapidly, and transferred the energy of the original main guns to the shield system. With the remaining but still relatively tough shields, they blocked the second wave of attacks from the enemy frigates in front of the space carrier.
Subsequently, the main fleet quickly advanced and regained control of part of the fixed defense system. After leaving two destroyers to suppress the remaining destroyers of Team 3 along with the fixed defense system, Olivia led her flagship across the fixed defense system to rescue her own space mothership that was being pursued.
Ophia looked at the increasingly powerful energy readings on the flagship screen and the escorting ships moving in front of the enemy space mothership, and decisively ordered the flagship's main cannon, which was not yet fully charged, to fire.
"Target: Enemy aircraft carrier's first main gun on the right side."
The flagship fired first, and an oversized armor-piercing shell struck the connection between the hull and the first main gun on the right, destroying the reaction chamber to which the main gun belonged.
The violent explosion caused the ship to veer off course, and then the three beams of light fired grazed the port side of the friendly aircraft carrier.
Two heavy frigates followed closely behind the flagship, and two high-energy armor-piercing shells penetrated several close-in weapon missiles. Although the trajectories were slightly deviated, they still hit the hull of the enemy space carrier.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of missiles entered the interception range of the space mothership, directly filling the interception channels of the space mothership.
Immediately afterwards, the secondary guns of the flagship and heavy frigates opened fire, hurling large amounts of plasma clusters and armor-piercing high-explosive shells at the space carrier.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Yun and Xu Ling intensified their electronic warfare efforts, regained control of a batch of fixed weapons, and ordered them to fire on the approaching frigates.
Using the time the flagship had to buy, the two assault ships, whose shields had already been breached, quickly completed an emergency cooling procedure, replacing the overheated and overloaded laser main guns with a new set of cooling fins.
"Cooling system replacement complete. Laser main gun is ready to fire, maximum irradiation time 10 seconds."
As Xu Yun watched his flagship's increasingly aggressive offensive, he calmly assessed the timing of the laser main cannon's attack.
"Commander, main gun charge is at 50%, reaching minimum firing power."
Upon hearing Xu Ling's report, Xu Yun quickly determined the appropriate time to fire and then found suitable attack angles for the two assault ships.
"Assault ship ready to attack; firing data has been uploaded to the system."
[Firing data completed; our ship has reached the designated position.]
"Reverse thrust system activated, retreat to target position, main gun ready to fire."
Countless fine blue lights shot out from the front of the aircraft carrier, propelling it diagonally backward.
Seeing that the space carrier of Team 1 was retreating, the deputy commander of the space carrier of Team 3 ordered the escort ships to advance.
"Even if it means death, I will tear a piece of flesh from the other person."
[Command received. Initiating overload of main gun firing unit. Anti-ship missiles and space torpedoes are all activated.]
The improved frigate of Team 3 emitted an even stronger blue light from its stern, propelling itself forward at an even faster speed. At the same time, all the missile launchers on the hull opened, continuously launching missiles outward.
"The assault ship fired according to the predetermined plan."
Seeing the enemy ships charging forward with their own firepower and the dense sea of missiles, Xu Yun was ready.
"All ships are prepared! Shock preparedness ready!"
In an instant, the tight-fitting combat suits worn by Xu Yun and Xu Ling tightened and pressurized to ensure that the blood in their bodies would not change its flow direction due to the impact. Then, the helmets of the exoskeleton armors dropped, activating the internal circulation mode.
The four-point seatbelts on the seats retracted at full force, pressing the two people firmly into their seats. Then, a single-person protective shield rose from the base, covering the two of them.
Once all measures were in place, the two assault ships opened fire simultaneously, their staggered lasers halting the enemy escort ships' advance.
"Buzz"
The sound of the cooling system operating at full capacity echoed within the ship, and four streaks of cyan light and a black shadow appeared simultaneously in space.
"boom!"
Two explosions occurred simultaneously on two ships, and the escort ship of Team 3 was destroyed by four particle beams. The space carrier where Xu Yun was located suffered damage to one of its main guns and lost four close-in weapon systems.
Amidst the violent shaking, Xu Yun managed to locate the custom button.
The instant the button was pressed, a large number of lasers converged in front of the airborne mothership. Subsequently, all of the airborne mothership's computing power was transferred to its own close-in weapon system, which was then overloaded.
In an instant, a dense array of lasers and close-in weapon systems emerged from the space carrier, blocking the enemy's missile barrage.
Immediately afterwards, several thick lasers appeared from behind the enemy space mothership, slicing through the enemy's sea of missiles and causing a series of missile explosions.
"Master control, prioritize intercepting enemy anti-ship torpedoes."
[The close-in defense system's interception weights have been changed and are being implemented.]
A series of explosions occurred in front of their own aircraft carrier, with debris flying wildly and constantly striking the hull. By the time the lasers of the point defense system cooled down and the missiles were reloaded, there were no anti-ship missiles left in space.
Seventeen sparks exploded on the hull of the friendly aircraft carrier, reducing the massive carrier to a medium-damaged state.
Two minutes later, Olivia's voice finally rang out on their own air carrier.
"Xu Yun, Xu Ling, are you two alright?"
Hearing the incessant alarm, Xu Yun and Xu Ling slapped the seatbelt buckles on their chests, freeing themselves from their seats.
