"This is Enterprise, coordinates … UFO detected, approaching your ship at 60,000 kilometers per hour. Permission to exchange fire, repeat, permission to exchange fire! "
"Received, the entire ship has entered the first level of preparation, mass bombs are being loaded …"
Inside the bridge of the Frontier, all the officers and soldiers on the ship were ready.
The image from the Enterprise showed that there was an anomaly floating behind the asteroid that was suspected to be a characteristic of the Harmony Civilization. Although this kind of observation anomaly had not appeared before, they made the same choice every time.
They would rather kill a hundred innocents than let one go!
The Frontier, which bore the brunt of the attack, immediately started the secondary engine and adjusted the bow to the direction of the asteroid. Enterprise quickly moved closer to the Frontier, and Judgment, which was relatively far away, began to slow down. The bow was also aimed at the asteroid, and the torpedo compartment at the bottom was opened.
"Mass bombs loaded."
"Capacitor charging …"
"Charging complete!"
"Launch!"
Following the captain's order, the gunner sitting in the bridge did not hesitate to press the button on the touchpad.
The white light flickered in an instant, and the fifty-meter-long cylindrical mass bomb was accelerated to the limit by the magnetic track and blasted toward the asteroid at an incredible speed. Under the effect of conservation of momentum, the starship suddenly paused.
Even the people standing in the bridge felt the huge recoil coming from the bow of the ship.
The ten-ton heavy tungsten core mass bomb was almost the most destructive weapon on the Frontier. According to the trajectory and expected landing point calculated by the battlefield computer, if the mass bomb hit the target, the asteroid would undoubtedly be torn into pieces.
In front of the holographic screen, Captain Yue Dongwen's eyes stared at the flashing blue dot on the star map and approached the asteroid marked by the red dot. His palms were almost sweating.
Suddenly, the vector parameters next to the red dot on the star map suddenly changed and deviated from the original orbit. Yue Wendong's pupils shrank slightly. It seemed that the insect ship should be equipped with some kind of battlefield scanning equipment … or organs.
The fatal blow was avoided. The cylindrical mass bomb brushed past the asteroid in front and hit another asteroid in the Kuiper Belt, directly blasting it into pieces.
Without any hesitation, Yue Dongwen made a prompt decision and ordered loudly.
"Launch the carrier! Open the torpedo bay! "
"Yes!"
In the carrier-based aircraft hangar, the pilots with helmets sat on the Stingray A-1 one after another. Under the guidance of the robotic arm, the carrier-based aircraft entered the tubular ejection runway one after another. Under the acceleration of the magnetic track, they were launched in the direction of the insect ship one after another.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.
'Judgement', which had already completed its shooting preparations, launched the nuclear torpedo.
In a space battle, the destructive power of a thermonuclear weapon could be said to be quite limited because it was unable to form a gaseous shock wave. However, the engineers of Future Military modified this nuclear torpedo. Behind the front cover, a large amount of metal with strong thermal conductivity was installed.
It went without saying how terrifying the power of a metal jet driven by a thermonuclear weapon was …
The nuclear torpedo's engine flashed with an orange-red tail light.
The nuclear torpedo with a built-in guidance function, after accelerating and changing its orbit twice, bit the face of the asteroid, blocking all possible escape routes, and directly hit the target! Just at the moment the nuclear torpedo exploded, the metal jet that was heated to a semi-vaporized state instantly radiated terrifying energy into the interior of the asteroid in a fan-shaped direction.
The asteroid with a radius of hundreds of meters seemed to have a thermonuclear reaction inside as a series of magma cracks appeared on its surface. In the slow-motion footage, the entire asteroid exploded into pieces.
With the explosion of this layer of cover, the insectoid ship hiding behind the asteroid and waving its tentacles finally appeared in front of everyone.
"Target hit! Asteroid shattered! "
"Body exposed!"
"Confirmed target is the Harmony Civilization's insect ship, suspected to be a Harmony Civilization colonization ship!"
Although the target was hit, there were no cheers in the bridge of 'Judgement'.
Everyone knew that it was only the camouflage of the insect ship that was destroyed.
"Is this the legendary colonization ship … so small?" Luo Hong's eyes were locked on the insect ship shaped like a squid on the screen.
It was hundreds of meters wide and high. If the tentacles behind it were fully extended, it might be two or even three thousand meters long. It was much larger than the Seagull-class starship, but it was still a bit thinner than the Envoy-class.
Intuition told him that if it was the Harmony Civilization colonization ship, it should be bigger than this.
But after searching through the entire star map, the radio detection system only told him this information.
The insect ship in front of them was the only intruder!
"Prepare the side firepower!"
"Capacitor charging complete!"
"Launch!"
The right side of the ship aimed at the insect ship. The side armor of the Enterprise bounced off pieces of scale-like steel plates. Bursts of dazzling white light flashed continuously, like a neon flashing at midnight. The small mass bombs accelerated to the limit whizzed toward the airspace where the insect ship was located, almost blocking all its escape routes.
This round of volleys lasted for a long time.
Perhaps knowing that it couldn't escape, the insect ship simply gave up the meaningless maneuver and accelerated toward the direction of the Frontier. One after another, the bullets landed on its front, and the flesh-red armor was peeled off layer after layer of unknown flesh fragments.
Just then, the front of the insect ship suddenly turned red.
Looking at the image on the holographic screen, Luo Hong suddenly felt a sense of danger. Almost subconsciously, he yelled at the soldiers in the bridge.
"Stop the bombardment! Deploy the shield! "
The mass bombs stopped firing, and a layer of pale yellow film spread out from the outside of the Enterprise. Almost at the same time, a red beam suddenly flashed and brushed the side of the gravitational shield of the Enterprise.
Looking at the shield energy bar dropping in a straight line, Luo Hong's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
If it weren't for its quick reaction, the consequences would be unimaginable …
On the other side, the two hundred carrier-based aircrafts on the Frontier had all taken off.
Together with the other 200 unmanned wingmen, the 400 small aircrafts formed a circular attack formation 700,000 kilometers ahead of the Borderlands. They turned into dark blue specks of light and took the initiative to attack the insectoid ship.
At the same time, the flesh membrane on the side of the insect ship suddenly bulged and then burst open. Miniaturized insect ships ejected from the burst flesh membrane. Under the effect of an unknown driving force, they waved their slender tentacles toward the carrier-based aircrafts of the Frontier.
The distance between the insect ship and the Frontier was only one million kilometers.
The two sides had entered a close combat …
