Global Travel: Empire of Stars

There are many benefits to upgrading a mercenary group, such as the maximum number of natural members. The most important point is that only by upgrading the mercenary group to level 10 in a row can you have the authority to purchase flagship warships from the military!

Whether it is a fearless battle cruiser or a heavy aircraft carrier, they are the soul of a fleet and a combat power multiplier!

"Now, kill them!"Lin Zhichen ordered with satisfaction.

"Zizzi~"

The electromagnetic gun is charged and launches electromagnetic projectiles at a distance of two light seconds.

Two light seconds is a distance of 60 kilometers. This distance is very close in space, but it is very far away for both parties in the battle. At least. With the pirate ship's radar, it couldn't even touch the edge.

Even under the clumsy shooting of the new crew, five rounds in a row missed, but the pirates were still patrolling leisurely, not even realizing that they had stood on the Death Scythe. Under.

The sixth round finally hit, and the damaged pirate ship had to slow down, but it immediately became an obvious target.

After the ninth round of shooting, the pirate ship finally turned into a ball of fire, but at this time its companions were still While wandering around in circles, they couldn't even figure out the location of the"Qinyuan".

The power of over-the-horizon strikes in space battles can be seen. Under the suppression of technology, the enemy can't even find the direction to counterattack.

After fifteen rounds of shooting, the new NPC crew, who were still promoted to junior gunners, finally sent the pirates back into the darkness.

"good! The actual training effect is truly extraordinary! If you expect virtual academy training, you may not even have mastered the skills at this time!"

Lin Zhichen nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face. Although he was already very fast, it was not fast enough. Now he was racing against time.

""Qinyuan" quickly stepped forward and put away a basic combat computer.

As a general shipborne combat computer, it can improve the efficiency of the use of some basic tactics. It has a significant effect in large-scale operations and is also a necessary equipment for ships.

This thing The price was not expensive, with a market value of 1 energy coin, which was better than nothing.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the"Qinyuan" continued to move forward.

Two weeks later, after destroying five wandering pirate fleets in a row, the"Qinyuan" finally encountered an important person. opponents.

In the continuous battles, two groups of NPC crew members, Link and Wu Tianyi, have been promoted to senior professional titles and given to the trio who are heading towards the asteroid belt.

At this time,"Qinyuan" On board the ship are all elites - a luxurious team composed of expert crew members!

"Unfortunately, I have not learned long-range psychic attacks. It is impossible for apprentice-level psychic powers to be directly projected thousands of miles away, and I cannot participate in interstellar wars."

On the interstellar battlefield, the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers is already a face-to-face battle. Under normal circumstances, the two sides start the battle at a distance of light seconds.

Lin Zhichen is a little regretful. He now has no strength, but time It was too short, and he could only use eleven.

But it was enough. After a period of training, he found that he could use his spiritual energy to deploy a spiritual shield and push away some meteorites approaching the frigate.

If If this ability is extended, then he can use similar means to push away the missiles that have locked on the frigate when enemy missiles attack, reducing his own damage.

"The bonus of psychic energy to perception is quite large, especially the precognitive ability similar to the sixth sense. Now I can react to danger one second before it approaches."

One second, at some point, is enough for a lot of things to happen

"Didi~" The shipboard radar sounded an alarm, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Report to the captain, the target was found in the third sector, 2 light seconds away from our ship!"The radar observer reported quickly:"The target fleet has discovered five pirate marauding boats and one pirate gunboat, over!"

"Finally arrived at the pirate base! Lin Zhichen finally became serious:"Rush along the side!""

"The"Qinyuan" quickly turned and sailed towards the pirate fleet.

Soon, even though it was covered by meteorites and interstellar dust, the other party also discovered the incoming"Qinyuan". The pirate NPC quickly discovered that they were approaching from its side. Facing the enemy ship from behind.

This position is quite dangerous in space combat, because the most vulnerable engine is exposed behind the hull, so the six pirate ships quickly turned off the engine and slowed down, while trying to turn the bow of the ship to get out of the awkward position.

But this By that time, the"Qinyuan", which was accelerating with the help of gravitational thrusters, had already reached the range and opened fire at a distance of two light seconds and about 600,000 kilometers.

What fired was a small electromagnetic coil gun.

Due to power issues, this type of electromagnetic gun fired The projectile speed only reaches three-tenths of the speed of light, which means it takes about seven seconds from firing to hitting the target.

This is also a flaw of kinetic energy weapons.

Of course, if it is a flaw, it is better than nuclear missiles, even if they are manufactured in the industrial age. The missile engine is still far from the speed of light, and it will take at least several minutes to fly after launch.

In this case, shortening the combat distance is the best way. While launching the attack, the"Qinyuan" did not slow down at all. speed

""Chi~"

The charged electromagnetic coil gun fired the alloy projectiles. After 3.45 seconds of charging, the fully charged rail gun fired a second wave of three projectiles.

After seven seconds of flight, the first The three metal projectiles launched finally arrived at the target star field. With the guidance of the basic combat computer and the skill correction of the artillery, the shells accurately hit the pirate ship.

Although the pirate ship is also a frigate, its overall performance is not as good as the federal standard ship. According to According to data from the Star Network, the performance of pirate ships in most areas is about 20% different from the federal standard fleet.

But this is not absolute. The pirate fleets refreshed by some old administrative planets have much higher technological performance than standard warships.

"Bang~"

The electromagnetic deflection shield only slowed down the forward speed of the projectile, and the high-speed projectile hit the hull.

At the moment of the collision of the projectile, the alloy cast hull armor was hit hard, and three explosions immediately exploded at the impact point of the projectile. There was a ball of fire, countless metal fragments splashed, and the armor was torn.

Such damage could not cause irreparable damage to the pirate ship. Soon, just over three seconds later, the second wave of three projectiles hit again Target.

One after another, the coil gun attacks left one damage after another on the pirate ship. The originally relatively flat hull side armor cracked and cracked one after another.

But it is a battleship after all, a solid hull. The structure still keeps the pirate ship intact. The three main guns on the hull rotate and aim at the approaching"Qinyuan". There are six pirate ships, a total of sixteen small main guns and one large main gun.

The updated pirate Most of the plunder boats carry the interceptor core, which carries a material accelerating cannon and two red laser cannons. The pirate gunships are equipped with a large material accelerating cannon and a small red laser cannon.
