1825 The End of the Space Station
Boom! The 17 large launch vehicles launched by the Guardian Empire flew straight into outer space, spewing long trails of flames! After breaking through the atmosphere, the first rocket broke off, and the second rocket continued to advance. After air friction and reducing the rocket's mass, it quickly accelerated to the second cosmic speed. After breaking free from Earth's gravitational field, the second rocket broke off.
At the same time, the fairing on the launch vehicle also broke off, revealing five Aerospace Combat Jets that were folded inside the launch vehicle! The Eon Ride Multi-Purpose Space Combat Jet Prototype 1! This type of combat jet was about 10 meters long, and its shape was similar to an angular cone. Propelled by the plasma thrusters, the Eon Ride Prototype 1 was very agile. It could reach a maximum speed of 11 kilometers per second, and it was also equipped with reverse thrusters in all directions, so it could quickly change directions at high speed.
The main weapon of the Eon Ride Prototype 1 was a heavy laser cannon at the top. In space, it had a maximum range of 200 kilometers. It was also the first mature space combat jet of the Guardian Empire. What? You're asking why this thing with a speed of 11 kilometers per second and a maximum range of 200 kilometers can't replace the Air Ride Prototype 2? Because this thing can't fly in the atmosphere at all.
This was the biggest difference between space war and ground war. In space, all data would be expanded to a terrifying extent. A battle between space battleships could have a range of at least 100,000 kilometers! On Earth, heavy cannons with a maximum range of tens of kilometers, tactical missiles with a range of hundreds of kilometers, and intercontinental ballistic missiles with a range of 10000 kilometers were completely ineffective in space.
The 17 launch vehicles sent a total of 85 Eon Ride Prototype 1 Space Combat Jets into outer space. These combat jets immediately adjusted their direction and fiercely charged toward the Athena satellite in the geosynchronous orbit!
And at this moment, about 600 kilometers above the ground, a large space station's alarm sounded. This space station was more than 400 meters long. It was a space station built through the combination of a large number of cabins, similar to Earth's technology in the 21st century.
The Exploration Military Space Station was the first step of the Yun Nation and the Red Police Corps into space. This space station was now a very outdated product in the Yun Nation, but it could still play a role. They had sent it to the world of Dragon Soaring Era to support the battle here.
"Pilots of the First and Third Aerospace Combat Jets, please head to the U landing platform immediately. I repeat …"
A group of pilots wearing tight spacesuits, sealed spherical helmets, and life-support backpacks grabbed the handles on both sides of the corridor and slid toward the target cabin in a gravity-free environment. After passing through the airtight cabin, these pilots came to the platform that had been vacuumed out. Here, dozens of W-type Space Combat Jets were hung on the hangers.
"The idiots from the Guardian Empire are here to deliver food again …"
"Of the Empire! This time, I'm going to shoot down five enemy planes by myself! "
"I'm just kidding … If you shoot down five enemy planes, I'll pay for your drinks for the next month!"
"I just need to shoot down one more enemy plane in this mission, and I'll be promoted to Major Pilot! "I'll be of the Fleet!" Jingzi, wait for me to come back, we'll get married … "The group of pilots was filled with a relaxed atmosphere.
"Of of Satellite of of of of the Fleet, Station, Jingthey Jingafter the Anti-Satellite, Earth Empire of of of of the Fleet, of the of the Fleet, of the Empire, and of the space, After trying to use anti-satellite missiles to no avail, they began to use carrier rockets to send Space Combat Jets to attack.
However, the transport capacity of carrier rockets was very limited. A dozen Space Combat Jets at a time could not threaten these Space Combat Jets that were based on the Exploration Space Station.
What was even more fatal was that the Space Combat Jets of the Red Police Corps were developed by the Yun Nation themselves. They were called Demolishers. The design of these Space Combat Jets was very mature, and they were all manufactured and assembled on the Exploration Space Station. They were eight meters long and 17 meters wide. Considering that they had to be transported by carrier rockets, they were much larger than the Aeon Ride I Space Combat Jets, which were strictly limited in size. Naturally, the combat power of the two sides was much weaker.
Since their performance was superior and their numbers were about the same, it was not surprising that the Aeon Ride I Space Combat Jets were treated as moving military medals by the Red Police Corps. Shao Liwen had built several carrier rocket launching towers at first, but after realizing that it was only a drop in the bucket, she gave up on the idea of fighting for outer space.
Following the commander's order, the W-shaped Demolishers detached themselves from their racks and accelerated to 5 kilometers per second. Following that, their plasma engines were activated, propelling the jets faster and faster. Within 10 minutes, all 60 Space Combat Jets took off to meet the enemy.
Both sides were very fast. In less than 5 minutes, the battle started near Athena's satellite array. The Aeon Ride I Space Combat Jets flew around agilely. Their heavy laser cannons kept firing, and beams of hot laser light shone on Athena's satellite. Immediately, one of the satellites was hit by the laser beam, and it immediately burst into flames from the inside. There was a series of silent explosions, and the burning flames were instantly extinguished upon contact with vacuum. Therefore, the scene that could be seen was the satellite rapidly disintegrating into countless pieces.
However, that was the extent of the Aeon Ride I Space Combat Jets' success. After this wave of fearless attacks destroyed one of Athena's satellites, they were immediately targeted by the Demolishers that pounced on them like hungry wolves. The Demolishers were equipped with one laser cannon and two electromagnetic cannons, and they easily broke through the Aeon Ride I Space Combat Jets' shields and destroyed them completely.
In less than 3 minutes, more than 20 Aeon Ride I Space Combat Jets had been destroyed. The remaining combat jets immediately scattered and started flying erratically, trying to evade the attacks. The main purpose of evading in space combat was to prevent the enemy's fire control system from locking on to them. If they were locked on, the laser cannons would instantly fire at them.
But this time, the Evernight Riders didn't recklessly attack the Athena satellite like before, nor did they recklessly attack the Demolisher. Instead, they pushed their engines to the max, prioritizing evasive maneuvers, like a swarm of flies buzzing around. But even so, it could only slightly delay the outcome of their total annihilation.
Just as the pilots of the Breakers were happily shooting turkeys, a jet-black space battleship suddenly appeared less than 20 kilometres away from the Explorer space station!!!
The entire space station was instantly filled with a piercing alarm!
"General!! There's an unknown space warship right next to us!! "a messenger suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Report!! There's no response from the radar!! "
"Report! X-ray scans are ineffective! "
"Thermal detectors are ineffective!"
"Gravity detectors are responding! Someone is manipulating gravity on this warship! "
The commander of the Exploration Space Station, Vice Admiral Fukushima, pounced on the screen and yelled, "Send the optical image over!!"
The image of the jet black warship immediately appeared on the screen. The main body of the warship was shaped like a curved sword, and there were two smaller warships on both sides and rear, arranged in a triangular formation. It looked smooth, menacing, and sharp. At first glance, it was obvious that this was a terrifying weapon! No one would think that this warship would suddenly appear 20 kilometers away from the space station, almost face to face, just to greet them.
Vice Admiral Fukushima felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him. He grabbed the microphone in a frenzy and roared, "Request reinforcements immediately! Request reinforcements! Get the Demolishers to return immediately!! Max out the energy shields!! Send the image to General Yoshida!! "
