Chapter 413 Contact (5000 words)
Yang Bo was very nervous. After all, it was his first time to fight a spaceship head-on.
This spacecraft appears to be a private civilian spacecraft on the surface, but Yang Bo knows that this spacecraft has been modified.
The spaceship has a laser cannon, but it is not a high-power battleship laser cannon, but a modified laser cannon similar to the one captured by Yang Bo last time.
The reason why many illegal armed forces choose this kind of modified laser cannon is that it is impossible to find out the source of the laser cannon. For regular laser cannons, each system has a number.
Although Yang Bo's speed has reached an extremely abnormal level, he does not feel that high speed in the vast universe.
Because the surrounding scenery is so dark, if it weren’t for the instruments, I would almost feel like I was still where I was.
However, Yang Bo could find out through the beacon on the waterway that his current speed had reached more than 30,000 kilometers.
The radio communication signal released by the communication beacon allows the aircraft to measure its own flight speed.
This is more than 30,000 kilometers per second. This number seems to be a very exaggerated number to people on earth, but in the interstellar age, this is a relatively normal number.
With the development of science and technology in the interstellar era, whether it is the energy engine of a mecha or a fighter plane, it can produce extremely powerful explosive power.
“Launch.” The captain shouted loudly through gritted teeth.
“Thirty percent of my own energy has been consumed.” Yang Bo sensed the energy reserve in his body.
Laser weapons are difficult to dodge, because no matter what radar it is, the energy wave speed cannot be faster than that of the laser.
The main reason is that the mecha's radar is relatively rubbish, its detectable range is relatively small, and its recognition of cosmic dust or cosmic garbage and its feedback speed are relatively low.
“Report, can’t tell what the other party is?”
This distance is still a safe distance now, because the attack distance of laser cannons generally does not exceed 500,000 kilometers.
“Boss, the other party is only 1.1 million kilometers away from us.” Someone on the spacecraft reported.
“Report, deeper detection cannot detect it.”
Laser weapons are indeed more powerful on the ground, because the distance on the ground is not very far.
Everyone on the entire spaceship acted quickly. The mecha masters came to the mecha warehouse and activated the mecha.
Even at Yang Bo's current high speed, it would take nearly a minute and a half to get close to the spacecraft.
“Captain, the other side has locked onto us. According to calculations, after we changed course, the other side also changed course.”
Yang Bo discovered that in space, especially at this high speed, only a small amount of gravity is needed to make the mecha deviate from its course.
It took 30% of the energy to release the super power of gravity to assist the mecha in accelerating, to reach this point.
The captain is still struggling, because once the laser weapon is released, the energy fluctuations will be captured by the signal base station, and then there will be a lot of trouble again.
Even optical imaging is done through reflected light. Yang Bo’s photoelectric superpower can not only interfere with energy waves, but also interfere with light wave reflection.
In just a few seconds, Yang Bo was already close to a million kilometers away, which is considered a dangerous distance in the space lane.
Yang Bo felt a little uneasy, but more so, adrenaline surged because he didn't know when the opponent's laser weapon would be launched.
As for being in space, it doesn't matter, but it's rare to drive a mecha to this speed.
Since any imaging equipment passes through radar energy waves and then uses a certain algorithm to image through the feedback energy waves, the real visual distance is very limited.
The safe distance between the spacecraft is mainly to ensure the safety of both parties. Yang Bo has been using his photoelectric superpower to continuously interfere with the radar energy waves of the other side's spacecraft.
This also caused warships in the interstellar era to shoot at each other, a bit like the oldest artillery fire in the early days of the great voyage. Where they hit depends on luck.
Unfortunately, radar has many modes, and you need to know the other party's radar settings in advance. There may be hundreds or thousands of energy frequencies in one second.
“Captain, no hit.”
“The opponent’s speed is even.”
In space, if a laser is released from a long distance, the opponent will have a high chance of avoiding it. There are many methods, the most important of which is energy shield.
Logically speaking, light should be transparent. The white laser in the movie is due to the medium. The laser of the battleship is relatively powerful, so the laser can be seen, but it is not so conspicuous and is not white. In addition, There is still cosmic dust in space.
The mecha's instantaneous acceleration can reach more than ten Mach when there is gravity and air on the ground. This is driven by a powerful energy engine.
As Yang Bo watched the distance from the Lotte getting closer and closer, the mecha began to shake from side to side. The shaking relied on Yang Bo's own gravity.
With an energy shield, you are not afraid of air friction with the mecha or the fighter itself.
“Tsk, tsk.” Yang Bo used too much force for the first time and saw a laser flashing past him.
The time for people to respond is relatively short.
“Captain!”
“Everyone enter the combat position, fighter planes and mechas are in place, and all non-combatants enter the safe area.” The captain of the Lotte immediately issued an order.
Laser hitting long-distance targets relies on luck. It takes more than two seconds to hit 1.1 million kilometers, and laser weapons can only predict the opponent's trajectory before attacking.
On the Lotte spacecraft, the atmosphere was very solemn, and the staff responsible for radar data continued to operate the radar for detection.
"Laser cannon preparation." The captain looked at the other party's data and frowned slightly. It was more than 30,000 kilometers per second, so it was unlikely to be a man-made object.
Theoretically, as long as Yang Bo simulates the energy frequency of the opponent's radar, he can achieve high-tech stealth.
Because there is inevitably cosmic dust or some cosmic garbage in the universe. If you are unlucky and collide at such a high speed, the machine will be destroyed and everyone will die.
“The laser cannon is fully charged.” the weapons officer replied immediately.
If the mecha or fighter plane has an energy shield, the speed can be even higher and reach an incredible level.
Fighter pilots also came to the fighter warehouse and started the fighter planes.
"Laser cannon, attack at will." The captain felt a little numb now.
What is the aircraft with a speed of more than 30,000 kilometers per second and cannot be detected.
You must know that the spacecraft radar on Lotte is the most advanced radar to date. It has multiple detection bands and multiple detection methods, and can easily identify many aircraft.
The radar on the Lotte can be said to be more powerful than the radar on the main battleship. It is just that the power is not as high as the main battleship's radar, and the detection range is not as wide as the main battleship's radar. However, it should have an advantage over the main battleship's radar in terms of recognition.
“Captain, the No. 1 laser cannon missed.”
“Captain, the No. 2 laser cannon missed.” The next two subordinates’ voices made the captain feel that this matter was not simple.
“Captain, the trajectory of the suspicious target has changed.”
“Captain, the suspicious target is 703,000 kilometers away from us, and the speed has been reduced to 29,700 kilometers.”
“Captain, the suspicious target is expected to meet in twenty seconds.” In fact, the captain can see the data reported by his subordinates, but he only reports the key points in the communication channel.
“Old Wang, send a distress signal to the army, saying that our spacecraft is out of order.” At this time, Zhang Letian gave an order in the communication channel.
“Yes, boss!” When the captain heard this, he immediately sent a distress signal to the fleet.
Sending a distress signal to the fleet must have a legitimate reason. If a distress signal is sent to the fleet by mistake, it is a serious illegal act.
Because in the past, a very wrong distress signal was sent out to lure the fleet away, and then the pirates robbed other spaceships.
“Captain, the No. 1 laser cannon missed.”
“The No. 2 laser cannon missed.” The captain clenched his fists after hearing the words of the two weapons officers.
Limited by the modification of civilian spacecraft and its own energy system, as well as the reason of the laser cannon itself, it does not have as powerful firepower as the military laser cannon.
“The ship’s engines started at full speed.” The captain of the Lotte spacecraft decided to use his advantage.
You must know that in the vast starry sky, if you miss it once, it will be more difficult to catch up again.
“The speed of the suspicious target is reduced to 23,000 kilometers per second!”
“The speed of the suspicious target dropped to 20,000 kilometers per second!”
When the captain heard this, he couldn't help blurting out: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
“What kind of monster is this? Its speed drops by 0.30 thousand kilometers per second in two seconds!”
“The target speed is reduced to 17,000 kilometers per second, and contact is expected to occur in twenty seconds.”
“The target speed is reduced to 15,000 kilometers per second, and contact is expected to occur in 21 seconds.”
“The target speed is reduced to 13,000 kilometers per second, and contact is expected to occur in 23 seconds.”
A series of announcements made everyone stunned. In just a few seconds, the opponent's speed actually dropped from more than 30,000 kilometers to 13,000 kilometers per second.
This is beyond the capabilities of any aircraft on this interstellar side.
Reducing the speed in space also requires reverse thrust, so the acceleration time is relatively long and the speed reduction time is also relatively long. "The suspicious target is 103,000 kilometers away, and the optical detection mode is activated."
“Boss, the photos taken in the optical detection mode are very blurry.” The optical detection mode is only suitable for close-range observation.
The captain looked at the blurry photo and couldn't tell what it was.
“Start the spacecraft engine at full power!”
“The spaceship is accelerating.” The order given by the captain just now has finally begun to be carried out.
The acceleration of the spacecraft's energy engine does not mean instantaneous acceleration, but a process.
“The suspected target is 78,000 kilometers away.”
“The optical detection mode still doesn’t recognize the other party.” A staff member’s report made many people feel numb.
What is the concept of 78,000 kilometers? The earth is more than 300,000 kilometers away from the moon. You can see the terrain above with a better telescope.
Although the mecha is only over eight meters tall, don't forget that this is the interstellar era. In optical detection mode, it is still unable to identify each other at a distance of only one-fifth of the distance from the earth to the moon.
“The suspicious target is 52,000 kilometers away from us, and contact is expected to occur in 25 seconds.”
“Reduce the power of the laser cannon and fire with full force.” Everyone on the captain’s side was numb.
By reducing the power, the attack frequency of the laser cannon can be increased.
Yang Bo has no choice here. If he crashes directly into someone else's spacecraft at the high speed just now, it will be like an egg hitting a stone.
Of course it is possible that your own mecha may also destroy the opponent's spaceship, but don't even think about it.
So Yang Bo kept slowing down on the road, which caused Yang Bo to spend more and more time in contact with the opponent.
Suddenly, a light of energy appeared around Yang Bo.
“Been hit?”
“But why is the power of this laser cannon so low?” Yang Bo knew that he had been hit by a laser cannon, but this laser cannon did not break the energy shield of his mecha.
It’s just that the energy collision produced by the collision of the laser and the energy shield is so dazzling in the starry sky.
“Captain, the No. 2 laser cannon hit the target.”
“Captain, according to the energy fluctuation analysis, the opponent is using an energy shield, and it should be a mecha holding an energy shield.”
“Damn it!” Only then did the captain realize that the unknown suspicious target was actually a mecha.
The energy frequency of the energy shield can be known by comparing the energy fluctuation data generated when the laser cannon hits the energy shield.
“Boss, there is a suspicious target approaching us.” The captain quickly reported at this time.
“Old Wang, turn on the public channel communication mode and call the other party for me. If you have any requests, just ask!” Zhang Letian also had a premonition that something was not good. Guys who can fly at such high speeds in the starry sky are basically desperadoes.
Moreover, the advanced radar of our own ship cannot identify who the other party is, so the other party's equipment should be higher than what we are equipped with.
However, when Zhang Letian shouted in the public channel, Yang Bo was destined to not be able to hear it, because Yang Bo used his gravity superpower to deploy a gravity field around the entire mecha.
Otherwise, Yang Bo's mecha would not be able to slow down so quickly.
Zhang Letian also shouted in the public channel: "Who is coming? I, Zhang Letian, have no one else. I can give you whatever you want."
“I, Zhang Letian, am also an executive of Ping An Financial Company. If something happens to me, it will be difficult for you to escape the fate of being hunted down by the entire galaxy.”
Zhang Letian shouted on the public channel, and the captain was giving orders to the mechas on the spacecraft.
“Mecha is ready to fight!”
"The fighter planes are ready to fight!" So the spacecraft approached the direction from which Yang Bo came. The hatches here were opened one by one, and the mecha armor was hung inside the hatches.
Yang Bo has now seen the light of energy released by the spacecraft's energy engine from a distance.
Or the long tail flame is so conspicuous, you can see the hatch of the spacecraft open, and the mechas are watching eagerly, ready to go.
Occasionally, there is a laser that hits Yang Bo, but most of them are directly avoided by Yang Bo with his coquettish movements.
Yang Bo's mecha was spinning in the air, as if floating.
The trajectory is also erratic, but there is a center line, and that is the spacecraft.
The shortcomings of the laser have also come at this time. The laser locking attack is calculated in advance, and Yang Bo's mecha cannot lock at all, so the laser can only attack suspicious areas.
“The suspicious target’s speed dropped to 1,500 kilometers per second.”
“The suspicious target is expected to make contact with the spacecraft in twelve seconds.” The captain was waiting, waiting for Yang Bo’s mecha to slow down to a certain speed.
Then the fighters and mechas on your side can be dispatched.
“The mecha is in position, your main task is to hold down the suspicious target.”
"The fighters are in position. Your main task is to use your own laser cannon to attack possible targets." The captain wanted to use the mecha and fighter planes to hold Yang Bo down, and then escape with his own spaceship.
“Lotte, Lotte, this is the Alliance Ninth Fleet, what happened to you?” Finally, finally.
The distress signal finally received a response one minute after it was released.
There is nothing we can do about it, the distance is too far.
“We encountered a suspicious target, we encountered a suspicious target, please rescue, please rescue.” The captain of the Lotte quickly sent out a distress signal.
Then there is no more, because here is a distress signal sent through a communication beacon far away.
The communication beacons in the waterway cannot use expensive space quantum communication technology.
Although Lotte and the military have space quantum communications.
But not everyone can access the military’s quantum communication system.
“This **** military?” The captain of the Lotte hammered the metal panel of the console hard.
“Fighter planes dispatched.” At this moment, the captain of the Lotte saw that the speed of the Yangbo mecha had slowed down to a speed that the fighter planes could intercept.
The five fighter planes broke away from the spacecraft and rushed directly towards Yang Bo's mecha.
"I saw it, a white mecha, an energy shield in one hand, and a big ax in the other hand." Finally, a fighter pilot saw Yang Bo's true face from a distance.
This is what Yang Bo deliberately let the pilot see, because Yang Bo has light superpowers and can directly deflect or interfere with the light reflected on his mecha, so that even human eyes cannot see it.
Yang Bo didn't want to reveal too much of his strength, and he came out this time to change his identity to cause trouble. Without being seen clearly, how could he let others know that he was another person.
The laser cannons on the five fighter planes fired intensively.
Yang Bo saw five fighter planes roaring towards him, and suddenly released the gravity field, and the mecha accelerated instantly.
The first salvo of five fighter planes was dodged by Yang Bo.
“The mecha is guarding the spaceship and you are allowed to use any means.”
“The spacecraft performs spin orbit change.” The captain issued another order.
The captain saw that the current situation was not very good, so he left the mecha that was going to be dispatched directly on the spacecraft.
Yang Bo accelerated, then drifted, and successfully avoided the second wave of fighter attacks.
Then Yang Bo passed by these fighter planes.
This is what space war is like. Both sides are fighting. You rush to my side, and I rush to your side.
Because it is very inconvenient to slow down and turn around in space.
"How did he do it!" The captain was almost angry, because the trajectory of Yang Bo's mecha was too weird, and this trajectory could not be formed by human manipulation at all.
“Captain, the suspicious target will be contacted in five seconds.”
“Suspicious target will be contacted in three seconds.”
“The suspicious target has entered the laser cannon, and the shooting is in the blind spot.”
Seeing that Yang Bo was about to board the ship, the captain immediately issued an order: "The combat team of Mecha Team A will greet the battle, Team B will be on standby, and Team C will protect the boss."
"Formal contact with suspicious target." After the report was completed, a rapid alarm sounded throughout the spacecraft.
“Intrusion alarm, intrusion alarm!”
