She Is Not a Witch Chapter 111: The twisted thing bred in the dark
"The fleets are advancing according to the planned timetable, and will start attacking after the first round of irradiation." The rough voice came from the helmet, followed by a beep, and the call ended.
Jeremy, who was sitting in the cockpit, looked at the screen in front of him. The screen above three-dimensionally outlined the trajectory of his battleship and the scheduled battle point.
Through the orange-yellow helmet front cover, the picture in sight is covered with a layer of faint orange-yellow, and the bright yellow dot moves forward along the light blue line, towards the slightly The flashing red dot moves.
Looking slightly aside, there are many similar ones, but the same is true for the lighter yellow dots, which slowly move along the light blue line. After reaching the predetermined red dot, they turn green and stop.
"It's almost here." Jeremy said in a voice that only he could hear. There was silence in the cockpit, and he could vaguely hear his own heartbeat.
Closing his eyes slightly, taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes again and looked at the health value in the lower right corner of the screen, which showed that his heart rate was 19% higher than usual.
[Blood oxygen concentration][Adrenaline secretion index][Hypothalamus hormone secretion value]...
All the indicators are normal, showing his excellent physical fitness, but a few of them are slightly higher, which also means that this fighter pilot is not as calm as he appears on the surface.
There are tens of thousands of space fighters on standby in space battleships, and it is not known how many of them will be able to return safely after the war. In fact, he left a suicide note a month before departure, and he and his parents The family is waiting to say goodbye.
Although he has realized that this day will come sooner or later in the education he has received since he was a child, he still cannot be completely calm today. After all, the probability of his death on the battlefield is quite high.
"Grandfather and grandmother, I don't believe in God very much, and now I can only pray to you." He let go of his sweaty palm, then reached into the small pocket on the chest of the battle suit, tore open the zipper, revealing the inside A small and delicate pendant.
The pendant looks like a beautifully carved black griffin. The black lion is lying on its side, with wings on its back wrapping around its side, as if guarding and protecting something. The lion's expression is gentle and peaceful, not as it used to The ferocity and majesty of this traditional impression.
On the back of the black griffin, there are two hand-engraved names in silver cursive, which are worn and rounded, and the corners of the characters are a little off, showing its age.
[Jay Lanen & Fa Xiner]
The two names behind the pendant are the names of his grandfather and grandmother. It is said that they gave birth to three children, and their own generation is the fourth generation.
'Compared to my famous grandparents, I am just an ordinary person. ’ Jeremy rubbed the pendant lightly with his hand, and it took him a long time to put it back in his pocket.
'However, I will still remember that I have the blood of a brave lion flowing. ’ He calmed his slightly uneasy heart and adjusted his state.
['Black Pine' arrives at the target location, 'Black Pine' arrives at the target location, starts to charge the launch system, and the fighter plane in the cabin starts self-inspection. 】
The announcement resounding throughout the ship was constantly replayed, and Jeremy could see through the cockpit that the fighter ahead was slowly sliding towards the scheduled launch point.
A Fen Mielong class space cruiser has eight launch ports, four of which are located on the belly, two are located in front of the battleship, and two are located behind the side. What he is about to enter now is the launch port located in the abdomen .
'It's not a good or a bad starting point. ’ There is no need to rush directly into the sea of chaotic phantom like the front launch port, but it is not located at the rear, so it can be safer.
After the fighter planes in front slid out one by one, the fighter planes beside Jeremy also started to move, and the familiar comrades waved to him through the cockpit cover.
[Wishing us a triumphant return] This message popped up in the lower left corner of the screen, and then disappeared.
'Victory, um. ’ Jeremy also waved his hand in response, nodded to the other party, and then watched the other party’s fighter plane heading towards the launch port.
"Now, it's my turn."
He was talking to himself. The voice of the artificial AI in the battleship began to sound in his ears, instructing him to move the fighter plane to the track.
[The track is embedded, the final charging and inspection begins, the countdown is in progress...]
[Lieutenant Jeremy, do you have anything else to leave a message or report? 】
"No, it's time to start."
[Received, the fighter plane has entered the pre-launch state, I wish you a successful start. 】
The cockpit slowly sank into the fighter plane, the protective armor above the head was slowly closed, and it became pitch black, only the values on the screen were still emitting faint light.
[The supplementary light in the cockpit is turned on, and the outer protective armor of the fighter jet starts to charge, 3, 2, 1, the charge is complete]
[Engine No. 1 and No. 2 start to warm up, and the reactor is activated by 20%]
Complicated light blue patterns began to light up on the surface of the originally silver-white fighter plane, with patterns like wings and the appearance of the sun, and then the rays of light on these patterns became brighter and brighter, like a layer of pale gold glass light The membrane begins to cover the entire fighter fuselage.
[Annihilation cannon approaching, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, irradiation in progress]
On the screen, the gray-black dots representing the phantoms of chaos are submerged in the thick pillars of blazing light, and if you zoom in on the image, you can see the billions of phantoms of chaos among the high-energy annihilation particles Constantly writhing, like billions of maggots struggling frantically in boiling water.
After the particles in the annihilation cannon go through a super-long-distance trajectory, the particles in it begin to disperse thinly, and their lethality is not enough to make these chaotic phantoms directly 'evaporate' to death, but to keep them in the torrent of particles It took nearly twenty seconds to completely 'boil' and annihilate it.
This makes it miraculously effective in the face of large-scale, highly concentrated Chaos Phantoms, but for the frightened and frantically overflowing Chaos Phantoms, the efficiency is extremely low, and this is the time for the Space Fighter to appear.
[The countdown to the end of the irradiation, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the irradiation stops]
[Fighter launch ports 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, all activated, launch! 】
A faint blue electric spark shone on the orbit of the fighter plane embedded in the ground, and then the fighter plane shot out instantly, rushing towards the chaotic phantom overflowing in all directions like bullets.
The orange transparent metal goggles on the helmet reflect the light on the screen, and the scenery in it changes rapidly, from the dim launch position to the brilliant passage, and then into the dark deep space universe, and then to the bright front. Brilliant cannon fire shines.
The dome screen surrounding the cockpit truly shows the situation on the outside of the fighter plane. Jeremy can even see a little light blue wake ejected from the rear of the wing on one side of his fighter plane out of the corner of his eye.
[Enter high-speed stamping mode, accelerate forward 6]
The fuselage trembled slightly, and the instrument panel beside the screen began to rotate rapidly. It was originally just a little light green at the corner, and then quickly filled the vacant grid until it reached the limit of deep red.
In the space, thousands of battleships that were originally stagnant suddenly radiated countless swift silver stars like a honeycomb, and then these 'silver stars' were slowly dyed orange-red during high-speed flight, rushing towards the After being irradiated by the annihilation cannon, scattered and floating chaotic phantoms.
Compared to an hour ago, the number of chaotic phantoms in this airspace is now less than 2%, but the number is still astonishing. Fortunately, after a large area of space is freed up, it also gives the fighters room to evade.
[Approaching, the combat system has automatically assigned you a target. ]
Suddenly, more than 30 of the gray and black spots on the screen were marked, and three small golden arrows pointed to the target, so dozens of marks kept shining on the screen as the viewing angle changed, indicating attack this.
"Let's get started."
Recalling the process of training countless times before, Jeremy began to reduce the forward speed, and the muzzle below the fighter plane began to recharge. When speeding through the nodes in the trajectory, fire accurately, and the light gold impact torrent is fleeting, piercing through these chaotic phantoms, turning them into incomplete fragments.
The battle is not over yet. Although it has been broken into pieces, it does not mean that the Chaos Phantom has completely disappeared. If given a certain amount of time, they will gather together.
So, after clearing the area of the Phantom of Chaos, Jeremy began to signal to the support ships in the rear.
Soon, a brilliant stream of light illuminated the area, annihilating and cleaning up the remaining debris one by one.
[Number of cleaning targets: 32, the task is over, and the next stage of target distribution will start, please wait...]
【Assignment is complete, please drive to this area】
Afterwards, another area was marked on the screen, as well as chaotic phantoms flying in disorder. Although their number was only 21, not as many as before, but this time they were more scattered.
"Received the target." Jeremy replied in a low voice, then focused his eyes on the area on the screen, and began to turn the fighter plane, heading there.
In space, there are hundreds of thousands of fighters like Jeremy. According to the goals planned by the command system, they clean up the chaotic phantoms in the area with the precision and sharpness of a scalpel. It wasn't until the gray-black sea of chaos surged up again that these fighter planes began to retreat.
The first day of the campaign is over.
During the first day of battle, Earth civilization reduced the number of Chaos Phantoms by about 2.3%. Among them, one annihilation cannon was damaged due to overload, the battleship was not damaged, and 78 fighter planes were damaged. Compared with the total of about 420,000, it can be ignored Excluding.
The situation is very good, and many people in the Ivar galaxy began to cheer, thinking that this disaster can be passed safely.
On the second day of the campaign, the situation was similar to that of the first day, with about 2.6% reduction in Chaos phantoms, no loss of battleships, and 129 loss of fighter planes.
On the third day of the battle, 6 of the Annihilation Cannons were damaged due to overheating and were under emergency maintenance, but the rest of the Annihilation Cannons functioned normally, reducing the number of Chaos Phantoms by 2.1%.
On the fourth day of the battle, after overhaul, in order to prevent the expansion of the overheating problem and cause more damage to the annihilation cannon, the Orbital Command Headquarters recently replaced the 11 annihilation cannons in poor condition with spare parts. It only delays the approach of Chaos Phantom, and only reduces Chaos Phantom by 1.5%.
On the fifth day of the battle, unknown 'black matter' began to appear in the phantom of chaos, and 201 annihilation cannons were fired normally.
During the irradiation, these 'black matter' gradually revealed their true colors. According to the speculation of scholars and experts, the creatures or substances that should have been corroded by the chaotic phantom in the past time are now engulfed into space.
Although these substances are not very lethal, they have greatly hindered the irradiation efficiency of the annihilation cannon, so that only 1.2% of the chaotic phantoms were reduced on the fifth day, and the chaotic phantoms began to move closer to the space barrier. If they are not blocked, it is estimated that It will reach the outer orbit in 34 days at the fastest.
On the sixth day of the battle, the battle situation was sluggish, and the annihilation irradiation system only reduced 1.3% of the chaotic phantoms, and they began to gradually approach the sky barrier.
On the seventh day of the battle, under the order of the Supreme Command, the Incinerator-class space battleship began to project the fusion nuclear bomb it carried inside.
These nuclear bombs, which are wrapped in sealed armor and can temporarily isolate erosion, exploded the gray-black chaotic sea like a mountain blasting rock, turning the 'black matter' trapped in it into fine powder, which made the former Blocking Annihilation Cannon effectiveness increased.
On the eighth day of the battle, the mission was the same as on the seventh day. About 2.7 million nuclear warheads were thrown into space, detonated in 137 batches, and shattered the solidified black fog.
On the ninth day of the campaign, the overhauled and cooled Annihilation Cannon was recharged and irradiated again. On this day, about 2.2% of the Chaos Phantoms were reduced. However, due to the complexity of the combat mission, the Chaos Phantoms continued to approach the Space Fortress and began to accelerate !
On the tenth day of the campaign, the reduction was 2.1%
Eleventh day of the campaign, 1.9% reduction
On the twelfth day of the battle, the reduction was 1.7%, and the efficiency continued to decline. The floating smoke powder brought scattering and more consumption to the annihilation cannon.
On the thirteenth day of the battle, the space battleships leaving the port began to return to supplies in batches, mainly the nuclear missiles that had been consumed.
On the fourteenth day of the battle, the battle situation stagnated.
On the fifteenth day of the battle, the spare reserve fleet arrived at the front line and began to undertake the task of cleaning up.
On the sixteenth day of the battle, the Annihilation Cannon was activated again, reducing Chaos phantoms by 1.8%.
On the seventeenth day of the battle, the Supreme Command issued a warning, because the Chaos Phantom was stimulated to accelerate, and it was expected to arrive at the outer space fortress in five days.
On the eighteenth day of the battle, the fleet repairing supplies returned to the front line and began to violently block the approach of the phantom of chaos. The dazzling nuclear bomb explosion formed a bright light belt in space.
On the nineteenth day of the battle, the annihilation cannon irradiated, reducing the number of Chaos phantoms by 1.9%.
On the twentieth day of the battle, something strange was found again in the center of the phantom of chaos, and there seemed to be some kind of 'life' in it.
On the twenty-first day of the battle, the awakened 'monster' approached the space fortress.
——
"Warning, warning, all ships staying in the port should leave the port urgently!"
"The enemy has invaded the interior of the barrier and began to break through the central holy white barrier. If it breaks through completely, the self-destruct purification system will be activated~IndoMTL.com~ Please leave within three hours from the inside of the third barrier!"
On the outskirts of the barrier, a huge flesh and blood monster with a size of several hundred kilometers is attached to the cold black and smooth outer wall of the barrier. The eyeballs have a strange posture, which makes people shocked and frightened.
Surrounding the space barrier, hundreds of battleships and nearly 10,000 fighters are constantly shooting at it, but all of them have little effect. He seems to carry some kind of twisted and eternal attribute, although the energy irradiated on the body will hurt the body , will also be partially absorbed by itself and used for regeneration.
Looking closely at its body, including those 'arms' are made up of all kinds of remnants, among them are sky barrier personnel who have just died, corpses that are too dry to distinguish their original appearance, and even some special creatures The mechanical structure is very similar to those mechanical giant dragons that once roamed the outer reaches of the star system.
These things are spliced together in a messy and disorderly manner, and the 'monster' itself has no clear consciousness. It seems that it only relies on some instincts to yearn for the most core thing in the space barrier, and there is the throne of simulated gods. Plan, place the joint resonance center.
