Chapter 50: Revenge of the Snow Peak (I)

The commander of the Imperial Fleet was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the Xuefeng.

But he was stunned by the subsequent changes of the Xuefeng and the Redemption.

He had never seen a warship do such a thing in broad daylight.

The captains of the other warships were not much better, and the originally aggressive team just stopped.

The brief loss of consciousness of the Imperial Fleet gave the Xuefeng sufficient time to repair itself.

But Qi Yiming did not wait for the outer armor to fully recover. The moment the Xuefeng completed the assembly, Qi Yiming ordered the navigator to charge forward.

"Don't you like artillery battles? I'll show you what a real artillery battle is..." Qi Yiming stared at the battlefield situation map with gritted teeth.

When the Imperial Fleet was chasing the Xuanwu Federation, it had actually been divided into two temporary fleets and launched an attack on the fleet led by Zheng Hu from two directions.

At this time, the two temporary fleets had not yet merged.

Qi Yiming didn't even think about it, and directly ordered the navigator to drive the Xuefeng into the middle of the two temporary fleets of the Empire.

"What kind of divine command is this?" The commander of the Imperial Fleet looked at the Xuefeng that was rushing towards them in confusion.

"The commander on the opposite side must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, right? Isn't this just coming here to die? Then I'm being disrespectful..." said the commander of another fleet with a sinister smile.

As the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Fleet's expedition, Hongshan immediately took over the command of the other fleet.

"Attention, all ships, the cruisers are located on the negative layer of the enemy ships, and the rest of the warships are arranged upwards in order of level..."

The negative layer mentioned by Hongshan is based on the plane where the Xuefeng is located, that is, the 0th layer, with positive upwards and negative downwards.

Following Hongshan's order, the two temporary fleets of the Empire quickly formed a formation after a short shock, maximizing the firepower density of the Imperial Fleet.

Qi Yiming raised his lips, "This formation can greatly increase the front width of the fleet, so that each participating warship can include the enemy ship within the effective range of its main gun."

Although the battle atmosphere was tense, Qi Yiming did not forget to introduce the advantages and disadvantages of various formations in fleet battles to Chen Cheng and his wife.

"Captain, ignore the enemy's actions and separate the two fleets as quickly as possible..." Qi Yiming turned back and ordered the captain.

The captain rolled his eyes and thought: "Are we going to split the enemy's fleet? It's obviously going to die..."

But he still faithfully executed Qi Yiming's order.

"But Captain, aren't we a little reckless to rush in like this?" Hao Chenqi was a little worried.

And Chen Cheng was still immersed in the negative emotions of Zheng Hu's death.

"Hao Chenqi, you will take over the Redemption in the future..." Qi Yiming directly dismissed Chen Cheng: "As a captain, you are too incompetent!"

After saying that, Qi Yiming glared at Chen Cheng.

"I..." Chen Cheng wanted to say something, but heard Qi Yiming speak again.

"What are you talking about... We should remember the sacrifice of our comrades... But that was after the battle. You were actually dazed on the battlefield... Look back at those people on the Redemption. Aren't they your comrades? Did you think about them when you were dazed..."

Chen Cheng lowered his head and stopped talking.

Qi Yiming was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned around and looked at Hao Chenqi and continued the previous topic: "Whether it is reckless or not depends on the strength gap of the fleet... It seems that you still don't understand the capabilities of the Xuefeng thoroughly enough. It's not your fault. After all, this form of the Xuefeng today is the first time you have seen it."

After saying that, Qi Yiming ignored the couple and stared at the battlefield situation map in front of him.

At this time, the Xuefeng had already included the Imperial Fleet in the range of the main and secondary guns.

"The weapons chief is ready to test fire... Calibrate the minimum energy value required to penetrate the enemy armor!" Qi Yiming gave a clear and clear order to the weapons chief.

The weapons chief has also accumulated a certain amount of experience after many battles.

"Main gun No. 1 is charged to 50%, and it will fire immediately after locking onto the enemy ship... The secondary gun on the port bow executes the same order..." After receiving the order, the weapons officer issued instructions to each gun position through the command panel in front of him.

When the Xuefeng's power reactor is running at full power, it only takes 1 minute for the main gun to charge 50%, and only 20 seconds for the secondary gun to charge 50%.

After the first round of test firing, the main gun successfully penetrated the armor of a cruiser of the Imperial Fleet, but did not cause too much damage to the cruiser.

The secondary gun also penetrated the target's armor, but still did not cause too much damage.

Qi Yiming's order was that as long as the main and secondary guns could penetrate the enemy's armor, the weapons officer continued to reduce the maximum capacity of the main and secondary gun energy tanks.

It was not until the main gun was adjusted to 35% and the secondary gun was adjusted to 40% that Qi Yiming's requirements were met.

After the adjustment, the charging time of the main gun has been reduced from 1 minute to 40 seconds, and the secondary gun has been reduced to 13 seconds...

The adjustment of the main and secondary guns was completed, and the Xuefeng just happened to enter the open area between the two fleets of the Empire.

"Attention, engineering team, except for the energy required by each gun position, the rest of the energy will be transferred to the Guardian."

After the weapons chief completed the debugging, Qi Yiming gave the engineering team another order.

After the order was issued, the impact speed of the Xuefeng suddenly dropped, and the tail flame of the engine nozzle dimmed a lot. It can be said that the Xuefeng is still moving forward completely relying on its own inertia.

Hongshan really couldn't understand Qi Yiming's operation. What's the difference between this impact method and suicide?

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. After all, the Xuefeng had entered the range of the main and secondary guns of each ship.

"Attention, all ships, free fire..."

With an order, the Xuefeng seemed to become a huge magnet, sucking all the bursting laser beams around it.

"Even if your warship's outer armor is strong, I don't believe that you can become an immortal under the bombardment of more than a dozen warships' main guns?"

But the Xuefeng was like an asteroid, floating there, bearing the bursting lasers shot from all directions, and the scene imagined by Hongshan never appeared.

At this time, the Xuefeng was completely covered by the white light emitted by the bursting laser beam because it suffered too many attacks. The Imperial Fleet could not see what happened to the Xuefeng at all.

But Qi Yiming knew clearly what the Xuefeng was going through.

The armor value on the Xuefeng's injury monitoring panel had been jumping back and forth between 85% and 23% since the enemy fleet attacked.

After the Imperial Fleet attacked once, the Xuefeng's armor value dropped to 23%, and then instantly recovered to 85% in the next second.

In fact, this value cannot fully show the current status of the Xuefeng.

To be precise, the Xuefeng's armor value was cleared at the moment the Imperial Fleet's salvo arrived, but because the Guardian had an energy supply of 500% more than before, the production speed of nanorobots had reached an astonishing level.

Within one ten-millionth of a second when the Xuefeng's armor value was cleared, the nanorepair robots that had long been all over the Xuefeng's hull instantly restored the armor value to 23%, and then countless nanorobots were replenished in the next second, directly restoring the armor value to 85%.

This caused the value on the injury monitor to jump back and forth between 23% and 85%.

"What kind of monster is this..." Hongshan completely lost his composure and stood up suddenly from the captain's chair.

But the thing that made him collapse was still to come.
