As the Dan Slave's Son floated to the surface of the water, the hatch of the launch platform slowly opened up. The black shapeshifting fighter, carrying a heavy armored backpack, spewed out four bright flames and instantly soared into the sky. Under Xiao Ran's control, the shapeshifting fighter exploded at full speed, breaking through the sound barrier and quickly leaving the Dan Slave's Son. It quickly disappeared into the horizon.
In the cockpit of the shapeshifting fighter, Tessa's voice, which had become calm and normal, rang out through the communicator. "I'll send you the coordinates of the three warheads now. With your current speed, you'll encounter the first warhead in five minutes. After shooting down the first warhead, you must immediately turn and pursue the remaining two warheads."
"There are only 30 minutes before the two warheads reach the predetermined position. All the warheads must be shot down in orbit, so we don't have 30 minutes to use. The maximum range of the anti-air missiles on the fighter is only 80 kilometers. The range of 20 to 60 kilometers is a no-escape zone."
"At the same time, the speed of the missiles can't be compared to that of the rockets loaded with warheads. At the same time, due to the altitude of the rockets carrying the warheads, you can only intercept and attack the targets when they start to fall. You must pay attention to the distance and ensure your safety."
"Understood." Xiao Ran nodded. He pressed down slightly with his right hand and stepped on the pedals, causing the shapeshifting fighter's speed to slowly increase. The two fighter jets tailing behind also began to speed up, quickly flying toward the first target.
The positions of the three missiles had all appeared in the cockpit of the shapeshifting fighter, and three moving curves appeared on the screen.
After confirming the target, Xiao Ran began to control the shapeshifting fighter to rapidly ascend. Although the shapeshifting fighter's performance had not reached the level of completely escaping the Earth's gravity, or rather, it did not have the ability to enter space to fight, the limit of its flight altitude was actually very terrifying. It was probably not much inferior to a rocket loaded with a nuclear warhead.
Xiao Ran already had a complete plan to deal with the three nuclear warheads. In fact, in a situation where he did not know the yield of the nuclear warhead, the threat of the first missile was the greatest. This threat was not a threat to Xiao Ran, but a threat to the Dan Slave's Son once it exploded.
Therefore, Xiao Ran had to try his best to shoot down the first missile at the highest point where both sides could meet, so as to minimize the impact on the Dan Slave's Son. Even if the warhead did not explode immediately after it was shot down, and it fell into the sea and exploded, with the current distance, the Dan Slave's Son would not be too much of an impact.
The other two warheads were actually not that dangerous, so it did not matter much where they were shot. However, the best place to shoot them was at the highest point to minimize the impact of the nuclear warhead. Otherwise, the shockwave produced by the nuclear warhead's explosion would also bring a lot of trouble to the country on the other side.
A few minutes later, the alarm in the shapeshifting fighter's cockpit rang, reminding Xiao Ran of the appearance of the first falling warhead. If it were not for the lack of time, Xiao Ran would also choose to shoot down the warhead at the highest altitude in the atmosphere.
Through the enlarged image on the screen, the rapidly falling warhead could be clearly seen, and the angle of impact was just in the direction of the Dan Slave's Son.
If the warhead was not intercepted, even if it did not directly hit the Dan Slave's Son, the impact of the nuclear warhead would definitely engulf the Dan Slave's Son. The best result would be the Dan Slave's Son somersaulting in the sea. Somersaulting was not a big deal, but the thing inside the Dan Slave's Son could not somersault with it.
Facing such a threat while piloting the Dan Slave's Son, Xiao Ran also brought out his highest strength by activating the shapeshifting mode. A golden light burst out from his eyes, and the passage of time seemed to have slowed down in Xiao Ran's mind.
His calm and emotionless eyes completely locked onto the huge artificial object on the screen.
In Xiao Ran's eyes, the images recorded by the two fighters simultaneously appeared. Under the shapeshifting mode, the shapeshifting fighter gradually began to tremble as it flew higher and higher, and continued to climb towards the sky without slowing down at all.
One side was descending at high speed, while the other side was climbing at full speed in a straight line. The speed of both sides could be said to be very fast. It seemed that it did not take much time at all. A beep sounded in his ears, and a moving red square box lit up on the screen, reminding Xiao Ran that the target was already in the attack range. He only needed to lock on to the target to attack.
The distance between the warhead and the shapeshifting fighter was rapidly increasing every second. In Xiao Ran's perception, one second seemed to have become very long, but Xiao Ran did not start attacking blindly.
Until the shapeshifting fighter flew to a height almost the same as the falling warhead under the propulsion of the four thermonuclear energy engines, the shapeshifting fighter transformed into its fortress form. Four beam guns and two beam cannons suddenly lit up. Along with the laser Gatling gun in his hand, countless dazzling beams of light were shot at the warhead.
Beams of light shot out from the various muzzles of the transformable fighter. Even under the high-speed operation of the warhead, the densely packed beams of light still completely shrouded the warhead. However, it was only at this speed. Even without using any skills, Xiao Ran could easily hit a target that would not dodge at all under such circumstances with just his computing power.
After countless beams of light covered the launch vehicle with the warhead, a series of explosions occurred on the launch vehicle. In just a few seconds, the launch vehicle was completely blown up into fragments, scattering in all directions as it fell down.
"One."
After seeing that the target had changed, Xiao Ran did not stop at all. He controlled the transformable fighter to turn around and transform into the fighter form. He exited the transformable fighter state and rushed forward at full speed towards the other two warheads located at a higher altitude. He maintained his current altitude and started to pursue.
On the bridge of the Dan Slave's Son, when Xiao Ran finished off the first target, the other side also received the first-hand news. After seeing that one of the three tracks was broken, many people in the bridge let out a burst of cheers.
But Tessa did not show joy because only one target was shot down at all. Instead, she looked worriedly at the light spot representing the shapeshifting fighter on the logo map. She prayed secretly in her heart, "Is this the height that the shapeshifting fighter with space combat ability can reach? You must be careful. Even if you didn't shoot down those two warheads, you must be fine."
Now the height of the shapeshifting fighter is many times higher than that of an ordinary fighter. Tessa, who never thought that a fighter could reach such a height, was naturally worried about Xiao Ran's physical condition. In addition, the mission was to intercept nuclear bombs, so she was even more worried about Xiao Ran's safety.
However, compared to Tessa, Law, El Erf, and Lang Ba on the ship at this time were much more relaxed. They didn't take Xiao Ran's mission to intercept the nuclear bombs seriously. Law knew the performance of the shapeshifting fighter very well, and he also had a deep understanding of Xiao Ran's ability. He and El Erf didn't think that intercepting a few nuclear bombs was a difficult task at all.
For Lang Ba, Xiao Ran's combat power was something he looked up to. In his opinion, it was just a matter of flying around. There was no fluctuation at all when he fell into the game.
Twenty minutes passed in a flash, and Xiao Ran relied on the terrifying speed and straight line of the shapeshifting fighter to finally bring the remaining two missiles into his attack range. But this time, Xiao Ran did not transform the fighter into a fortress form. Instead, he maintained the fighter form and launched an attack directly.
Once transformed into a fortress form, the speed of the shapeshifting fighter will be greatly reduced, so it can only maintain the current posture and attack at high speed.
But at such a height, it was already the limit that the shapeshifting fighter could reach. At the same time, it had to maintain the full power of the four thrusters, which had made the shaking of the shapeshifting fighter more and more serious. Even the four engines were overheating at the same time.
Xiao Ran tried his best to control the stability of the fighter, and also kept adjusting the most suitable attack angle. But before Xiao Ran could quickly lock in, a bright light suddenly burst out in front of him. Xiao Ran also reflexively entered the shapeshifting state again, feeling the terrible destructive energy coming in his direction little by little.
He raised his left hand and pulled back, released the pedals under his feet, pushed forward with his right hand, then pushed forward with his left hand, and stepped on the pedals again. A series of actions were done in an instant. The shapeshifting fighter suddenly burst out with a red light and turned into a fortress form. After changing its angle, it transformed into a fighter form again and began to plummet.
Under the thrust of the four engines, it turned into a falling meteor and rushed straight to the surface. After completing all these actions, a bright, dazzling light began to sweep across the endless sky. The scorching energy seemed to cover the shapeshifting fighter in the blink of an eye, and the light engulfed the shapeshifting fighter in an instant.
In the bridge of the Dan Slave's Son, Tessa had yet to hear the report from the bridge crew. After seeing the three light spots disappear completely on the map, she suddenly stood up in disbelief and covered her mouth. Her eyes stared at the screen in front of her, and a line of tears flowed down her cheeks.
