Chapter 608 Close Combat
"Where am I? Have we reached the target?" In the medical cabin of the aircraft carrier, a man suddenly opened his eyes under the stimulation of electric shock.
"Sergeant Thor, we have reached the attack point. Please go to the battlefield immediately after your physical strength is restored." A cold electronic voice sounded in Thor's ears.
"We have reached the Zerg landing point so soon." Thor rubbed his forehead in surprise. He didn't have time to think about why he was awakened only after the battle.
After putting on his clothes, Thor staggered towards the fighter launch bay.
Although his body had been calibrated and activated before waking up, he was still a little uncomfortable after waking up from hibernation.
Fortunately, the medical cabin was not too far from the launch bay, and after a long period of training, Thor was already familiar with the way to the launch bay.
After staggering for a distance, Thor seemed to have regained the feeling of controlling his body, and his pace gradually returned to normal.
After jogging for dozens of meters, Thor came to the outermost honeycomb launch bay of the aircraft carrier. Corridors were suspended in the air, and each corridor was connected to hundreds of isolation doors leading to the launch box.
Thor skillfully entered his number and fingerprint on an isolation door, and the isolation door opened to both sides after the launch box was filled with air.
Through the open door, Thor had seen the shuttle fighter hanging on the ceiling in the launch box.
In order to facilitate launch and maintenance, there was no gravity in these launch boxes. Thor kicked his legs slightly and jumped into the air. When he sat in the cockpit and closed the door, the red light began to flash in the launch box.
As the doors on both sides of the aircraft carrier opened, the fighter piloted by Thor was ejected outside the aircraft carrier by the catapult like a cannonball.
There were thousands of fighters flying out of the same aircraft carrier as him, and the huge fleet merged together and rushed towards the battle zone in front of the fleet.
At this time, the Imperial Zeus-class battleship formation, which was advancing in a cone formation, also crashed into the Zerg fleet.
The crusher cannons on the upper and lower decks of the Zeus-class battleships aimed at the Zerg battleships in front of the battleships and spit out shells crazily.
As the shells of the crusher cannons just flew out of the barrels and ignited the thrusters, each cannon emitted a dazzling flame like the gunpowder cannons of the Earth period.
The armor of the Zerg battleships hit by these shells was torn apart one after another, and the combustion device in the shells instantly ignited the Zerg battleships from the inside.
The heavy armor shell fragments of the Zerg battleships flew all over the battlefield, and the smoke produced by the burning drifted disorderly into the universe along the holes blown open on the battleships.
The Zerg battleships also fired plasma shells at the Imperial fleet at the same time as the Imperial battleships opened fire.
The deadly balls flashing with blue light fell into the Imperial fleet like raindrops. Every time the blue plasma shells hit a battleship, the shield of the battleship would be directly torn apart. The subsequent shells hit the armor of the battleship, instantly dissolving a huge red round pit in the seemingly hard outer armor of the Zeus-class battleship. The armor in the round pit emitted a faint red light because it was melted.
The plasma shells that seemed to have little attack power were actually very deadly. Not only did the high temperature melt the armor of the Zeus-class battleship, but the special electromagnetic waves carried inside it also short-circuited all the electronic equipment near the hull of the Imperial battleship that was hit.
Accompanied by silent explosions and flashes, the Imperial battleships whose shields were torn apart and armored instantly turned off most of the lights and rushed to the side as if out of control.
This was because the thrusters on one side of them had stopped working, and the thrust generated by the thrusters on the other side allowed them to break away from the cone array.
There was only one consequence of breaking away from the main array. These battleships were quickly surrounded by Zerg battleships. When these Zerg battleships dispersed, only the debris floating in the sky was left.
Fortunately, the Empire placed the battleships with dimensional armor in front of the array, and the location of these battleships was the place that suffered the most attacks.
The dimensional armor on their bodies absorbed all the attacks for them, and the existence of these warships also minimized the losses of the Imperial Fleet before rushing into the enemy array!
"The warships of both sides are about to pass by at close range, all warships are ready to intersperse and fight!" Li Mingze looked at the Imperial warships that kept exploding on the screen without any regret.
The Zeus-class warships that received the order began to change their forms one after another. The heavy armor on both sides of the warships suddenly slid in the upper and lower directions, and a heavy artillery with a caliber far larger than the caliber of the weapons on the upper and lower decks slid out of the warships.
These artillery sacrificed the long barrel and range, making the power of the weapons reach an astonishing level. Of course, the extremely slow rate of fire also made the best use of these weapons only when the two sides were in close contact!
As the Imperial warships "drilled" into the Zerg fleet, the warships of both sides passed by each other at a distance of hundreds or thousands of meters.
The Empire's Zeus-class warships seized this fleeting opportunity, and the heavy artillery on both sides of the warships quickly fine-tuned the angle, aiming at the Zerg warships passing by on both sides and fired a fatal blow.
As the heavy artillery blasted out flames, these heavy crusher artillery shells with a caliber of 20 meters were shot out of the barrels in a spiral by electromagnetic acceleration. The alloy drill structure on their heads directly drilled through the armor of the Zerg warship, and when their heads entered the interior of the Zerg warship, they split like petals.
One by one, the sub-shells carrying compressed energy scattered from the opened petals into the body of the Zerg warship.
The explosion that followed shattered the entire Zerg warship. Their hard shells could no longer withstand the huge energy and impact force gushing out from the inside.
These medium-sized Zerg warships expanded outward like balloons. After expanding to a certain volume, their internal tissues turned into liquid and floated into the universe through the holes around the warships.
The smaller Zerg warships were even more miserable. The small Zerg warships hit by these heavy crusher artillery instantly exploded like watermelons exploded by bullets! Some of those sub-shells even shot directly through the thin bodies of these warships!
In just a few breaths of contact between the warships of both sides, the Zerg fleet had suffered heavy losses.
Millions of Zerg warships were blown into flying garbage in space by a single encounter before they lasted a quarter of an hour.
The Empire's Cone Formation Fleet was like a powerful meat grinder, and all the Zerg warships were shredded wherever they went! All that was left behind was the flying Zerg flesh and blood.
