Chapter 170 Silent Fireworks Show "Sea Battle"

In the pitch-black universe.

The semi-elliptical mothership, which is nearly 800 kilometers long and about 550 kilometers wide, is gradually slowing down towards the location of the earth.

At its bottom are disc-shaped city destroyers. When they reach the outer orbit of the earth, they will enter the atmosphere according to the established plan and descend over major cities.

But.

Swish-swish-swish!

But suddenly, four and three straight blue lights appeared "diagonally above" and "diagonally below" their navigation route, respectively, and instantly crossed the deep space of the universe.

Moreover, two of them were extremely fast, and they did not give them time to adjust and react at all, and they hit the same point at the front of the mothership.

Boom! ! ! !

The emerald green energy shield successfully blocked the continuous penetration of the "light", and then a violent explosion and ripples broke out.

Of course, there is no medium in space to transmit sound, so watching from a distance, it only feels like a gorgeous silent fireworks show.

Then, five huge balls of blue plasma hit the front point again, and explosions and ripples rose again.

However, the mothership's energy shield was still strong, with no signs of breaking or dissipating.

! ! ? ?

But the sudden attack successfully forced the mothership to change its course and further slowed down its original sailing speed.

It seemed that the harvesters in the mothership's control room received orders from the mother queen and were ready to get rid of the "little flies" who used some kind of concealment technology to launch a sneak attack on them.

After hundreds of years of secret observation, the harvesters concluded that the human beings on Earth were below the first-level civilization level and were the best species to be killed for fun and livestock slaves.

Even if human technology advanced by leaps and bounds during their decades of sailing, what kind of threat could it pose to them?

Humans have not even stepped out of the solar system, so the mother queen and the three billion harvesters on the ship have never regarded humans as a threat from beginning to end.

After adjusting the angle and using the trajectory to calculate the approximate positions of the seven hidden warships, the harvesters in the control room made a prompt decision and launched a round of tentative barrage attacks.

Swish, swish, swish!

The 10,000 turrets at the front of the mothership fired dense green energy cannon balls.

The momentum was amazing, and it was a visual feast if viewed from a distance. Unfortunately, this wave of tentative barrage attacks did not yield any "rewards" at all.

?

Is the speed of human ships also not to be ignored?

This deviated from their expectations, and more precise calculations and scans were required.

However, the human ships in hiding, that is, the Atlas fleet that was operating separately, had arrived at the designated space domain from the "upward" and "downward" directions, and the straight-line distance from the harvester mothership was less than 30,000 kilometers.

At this time,

Sailing in the bridge of the Aurora with a Fides-class and another Selune-class ship "below";

"The first main gun salvo was ineffective. Repeat, the first main gun salvo was ineffective. The fleet failed to penetrate the target's energy shield."

"Captain! The target has been detected to release high-frequency pulse waves. If we continue to cooperate with the fleet to fire salvos, our position will be completely exposed!"

The bridge cabin is compact and solid, with a closed observation window, and the rapid tone of the report resounds.

There are eight crew members sitting on both sides of the bridge, including the first officer, navigation officer, communications officer, and radar operator, who are responsible for navigation, communication, radar monitoring, etc. to ensure the normal operation of the Aurora.

And at the front of the bridge sits a helmsman and two gunners.

As for the overall command and decision-making, the captain named Sean Rice sits in the center of the bridge.

"."

The captain, who is about fifty years old and has a little white hair, looks extremely solemn, and uses his left hand to pinch his jaw to relieve the pressure.

Through the several holographic screens that appeared in front of him, Sean Rice could know all the dynamics at the first time.

Seeing the concise "20 seconds later, artillery fire" displayed on the communication screen, he gave the order:

"Continue to cooperate with the fleet to fire! And adjust the navigation angle of this ship, approach the space domain of 35.67.35, and keep a sufficient distance from the Fides and the Dawn."

"Yes!"

The helmsman and gunner who received clear instructions immediately operated the Dawn.

Boom. Boom.

Then, the instantaneous firing sound of the plasma main gun that completed the energy storage and the five parallel 460mm plasma secondary guns was transmitted to the bridge through the vibration of the ship body.

Not only that-

Swish. Swish.

There are also forty missile silos, which fired forty strategic-grade hydrogen bombs.

The Atlas fleet's first attack only used seven main guns, using extremely high temperature and high energy plasma clusters and 1.4 tons of needle-shaped tungsten steel bullets accelerated to 0.12% of the speed of light to test the mothership's energy shield.

Finding that the shield could not be broken by just one main gun salvo, the fleet followed the pre-planned strategy to approach the mothership, and then took out all the high-yield guys to continuously bombard the same point of the shield.

Yes, the energy shield can withstand the first round of salvos, and this result is also within Atlas' expectations, but

Everyone firmly believes that there must be a certain limit value, just like the "fatigue" phenomenon of metal gradually showing local permanent damage under the cyclic action, leading to cracks or fractures, the energy shield will also burst.

At this moment.

On the holographic star map in front of Sean Rice, a yellow light spot representing a salvo of artillery fire appeared, approaching the Reaper mothership marked by a red circle at a high speed.

Two needle-shaped tungsten steel bullets and a plasma artillery regiment hit the target first.

The second was more than 400 strategic-level hydrogen bombs driven by a micro-nuclear fusion engine at a speed of 65 Mach.

At this time;

"Captain! Detected that the target is trying to intercept our missiles. Two, thirty-four, and fifty-one failed, and the rest all passed the air defense firepower network!"

Beep——!

As the radar operator reported loudly, the holographic star map also issued a slight reminder, indicating that there are still more than 300 missiles carrying strategic-level hydrogen bombs that successfully hit the same point of the energy shield.

Ri~咻————! ! ! !

The "sun" glare when the total equivalent of TNT exploded was close to 100 billion tons, and it lit up the darker interior of the bridge through the closed observation window.

"."

After witnessing this scene, all the crew members fell into silence.

After all, the destructive power caused by the concentrated fire just now marked the first time that humans in the main universe unanimously set off a "huge wave" against the outside world.

Although the power of hydrogen bombs in the vacuum universe is weakened, the extremely high temperature, huge energy, radiation effect and electromagnetic pulse they release are still considerable, especially in the case of "face-to-face" explosions.

After the silence, the radar operator turned his attention back to the operating table in front of him, but soon, his originally solemn expression instantly turned into excitement, and he turned his head to look at Sean Rice and said:

"Captain! The second salvo of artillery fire worked! Repeat, the second salvo of artillery fire worked!"
