There was no air in the cold starry sky, and the fierce shelling could not be heard, but the fires lit up one after another, and the battleship armor was torn apart by the flames generated by the explosion and thrown into the void.
The two frigates alternately covered and attracted firepower, withstanding the attacks of pirate gunboats and destroyers.
After four consecutive rounds of bombardment, the outer armor of the destroyer was completely torn apart, exposing the hull structure.
The shields of the two frigates were also exhausted and broken under the enemy's siege.
But the battle did not end. Instead, it became more and more fierce. Both sides seemed to have deep hatred and would not take a step back and attacked frantically.
Lasers and electromagnetic warheads flew across the sky, and after five more rounds of bombardment, a huge hole was blasted out of the destroyer's hull, with only the basic hull remaining. High-temperature ion energy penetrated the structural channels of the ship's hull, detonating the warship one after another. Internal energy storage room and ammunition depot, causing earth-shattering explosions.
As soon as the destroyer sank, Fang Chen immediately ordered the two scarred frigates to distance themselves.
This is the power of hero digitization. The armor of the T3 frigate, the worst of the two frigates, has been stripped away, revealing the pitted hull structure, which has been penetrated in some places.
But with the blessing of digital laws, as long as the hull value is not exhausted, as long as the internal ammunition depot of the battleship is not hit, or the power furnace is damaged, the battleship can still drive, and the speed is as fast as when it was intact.
As long as the ship's cannons are not damaged, they can continue to be used in combat.
Without destroyers, the remaining pirate gunboats cannot catch up with the frigates and can only be slowly destroyed by kites.
By this time, Fang Chen could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The bet was won.
Everything went as he expected. The remaining nine pirate gunboats chased but could not catch up, and could not run away. They could only be beaten passively, and he concentrated fire and sunk each one.
The destroyer on the other side has to suppress the remaining three frigates on the caravan side, and it can't free its hands at all.
The remaining three frigates of the caravan did not confront the pirates at all. The commander of the caravan probably gave up his previous plan to hold on and circled the caravan's transport ship, using the transport ship to resist the fire.
Unless all the remaining twelve transport ships are sunk, there is no way to deal with flexible frigates.
This method was used to delay time until about forty minutes later, a fleet consisting of a destroyer and more than a dozen frigates suddenly rushed out of the distant asteroid belt and headed straight for the pirate fleet.
Fang Chen received a message from Xie Shinan at the same time and knew that their reinforcements were coming.
What followed was a one-sided massacre. The remaining pirates were not as large as the reinforcements, and it was impossible to resist them when their technology level was two or three levels behind.
In just half an hour, the pirate destroyer was sunk and the battle was over.
As soon as the destroyer sank, three transport ships and two industrial ships arrived not far away. The industrial ships began to salvage the wreckage and scattered containers from the four sunk transport ships.
A frigate sailed towards two frigates moored not far away and stopped about ten kilometers away.
"Thank you Brother Fang for your help. This is the reward and hard work!"
On the communication screen, Xie Shinan expressed his sincere thanks to Fang Chen.
Fang Chen looked at the 150 million stars that were transferred to his account, with a smile on his face:
"The boss is very arrogant, so I won't be polite."
"You deserve it."
"By the way, we are going to go back to the base first. Brother Fang, do you want to come over and sit down?"
"Okay, I just want to go into the asteroid belt to find a place to mine."
"You want to mine? Where is your mining ship?"
Xie Shinan curiously glanced at the battleship radar, which did not show any mining ships nearby.
"It's tens of thousands of kilometers away. I stopped a little far from the battle just now."
"oh!"
An hour later, the scattered cargo had been put away, the two sunken transport ships were towed up by industrial ships, and the fleet began to return.
We plunged into the asteroid belt, turned left and right inside, and after about three hours we came to a huge meteorite in the asteroid belt.
This is a meteorite with a diameter of forty or fifty kilometers. They built a fixed base above the meteorite. There are a large number of forts on the base, and a dozen transport ships and several frigates are parked around it.
In the surrounding meteorites, Fang Chen's radar scanning range alone saw more than twenty small and medium-sized mining ships busy working, and from time to time, transport ships were seen coming from the depths of the meteorite belt.
The fleet entered the base. Fang Chen's two frigates were anchored at the base anchorage. A repair ship converted from an industrial ship came over and stretched out its long mechanical arm to repair the damaged hull of the battleship and remove the tattered armor.
It is worth mentioning that the armor layer of a battleship refers to the armor accessories equipped in the universal slot. Once the armor layer is broken and torn, if the loss is not significant, it will need to be repaired with the same grade of titanium steel alloy.
If the damage is too great and cannot be repaired, the wreckage must be removed, which means that the armor accessory has failed, and a new armor accessory needs to be obtained and filled in the general slot.
In other words, the additional armor in the general slot is consumable.
The two frigates have two T5-level medium armor plates, with a unit price of 24 million each, a total of 48 million.
6 T5-level small armor plates, priced at 8 million each, totaling 48 million.
Five T3-level small armor plates, priced at 2 million each, totaling 10 million.
The total replacement cost was 106 million star yuan. According to the agreement, Xie Shinan reimbursed him for everything.
In the end, the net profit from this battle was 150 million.
In addition, what makes Fang Chen most happy is that he has gained a lot of combat experience. This is also the main reason why he intervenes in this battle even though he doesn't have much money. Such a big battle has a tenfold bonus, and the massive experience makes him The basic naval skills are upgraded to LV10.
Basic naval command skills LV10: fleet speed +30%, fleet weapon damage +20%, basic command ship capacity 140.
At the same time, Fang Chen saw a new prompt in the system log:
"Your basic naval skills have been upgraded to LV10 and you will receive additional options. Please choose one of the following options as your first unique talent within 60 seconds. The timeout is random."
LV10 option 1: Fleet speed +10%.
LV10 Option 2: Fleet weapon damage +5%, hit +5.
LV10 option three: Fleet damage reduction by 5%.
LV10 option four (unique option of Eternal Light): Children of the Stars LV1: Ship speed +100%, startup speed +100%, weapon damage +100%, range +100%, dodge +10, hit +10, jump distance + 500%, jump penetration strength +5.
When he saw the fourth glittering option, Fang Chen's pupils suddenly opened in shock.
"This bonus..."
It was so outrageous that he had nothing to say.
After the shock, there was an indescribable surprise.
He had never seen or heard of such a strong bonus. Even those powerful spiritual ascenders, genetic ascenders, and mechanical ascenders had bonuses that were far from being so outrageous.
The key point is that this is only LV1. Fang Chen has a clear understanding. When he upgrades his basic naval skills to LV20 and LV30, the additional talents of this son of the stars will also become LV2 and LV3, and he will definitely become more abnormal by then.
"marvelous!"
