clear! "
The John Paul Jones received the attack order, and multiple combat units on the ship operated on their own without human control, and their neat movements seemed to be one.
"Artillery system locked!"
"Missile system locked!"
"Fire!"
The John Paul Jones is a Burke-class guided-missile destroyer of the US Navy. Its proud Aegis combat system radar was of no use when facing the reconnaissance ship of Planet G.
Fortunately, when the two sides are fighting at close range, the distance and position can be measured manually. There is not much difference with or without this radar system.
When Russell upgraded the warship, the John Paul Jones had a more powerful radar system, the triple main gun turret was slightly adjusted, and the main gun with a caliber of more than 400MM erupted in anger.
The warhead passed through the spiral rifling, roared across the sky, and after a rapid whistle, exploded on an alien reconnaissance ship.
Boom! !
Fire shot into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and large pieces of metal debris scattered around with the impact of the explosion.
Following closely behind are the vertically launched Tomahawk cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles.
Six missiles with long flaming tails rushed straight up and approached the two alien reconnaissance ships at extremely fast speeds.
In slow motion, the golden stigmata lines attached to the missile can be seen.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A white light flashed, and the roaring explosion was deafening. The location of the two alien reconnaissance ships was covered in scorching white flames and disintegrated into countless metal fragments.
"Reloading is complete!"
"Relock...!"
"Lock failed, target cleared!"
The waves on the sea were rough, and the white-flamed wreckage evaporated into mist. Of the original four alien reconnaissance ships, only the last main ship was left floating alone.
After a brief silence on the John Paul Jones and the Myoko, countless cheers of excitement rang out. Captain Nagata on the Myoko stood in the control room, looking at the greatly changed shape of the John Paul Jones, with emotions written all over his face. envious.
His instinct told him that he might have missed something.
In the control room of the John Paul Jones, intimidated by the cross pattern on Russell's back, the cheers here were much quieter. Each crew member clenched their fists and hammered each other, and bared their teeth to express their shock and joy.
The temporary captain Alex received many punches, but never fought back once. His fiery eyes were locked on where Russell was standing, and his eyes were filled with desire.
The desire for battleship cannons, this is a man's romance.
Although it is said that destroyers are more advanced and more in line with the standards of modern warfare, battleships only have thicker guns and are a living target against destroyers.
But in fact, no matter how long it takes for battleships to withdraw from the stage of history, their caliber, the theoretical concept of justice, remains enduring, guiding countries to pursue their pursuit of oceans and territories.
"Sir, if you encounter an enemy fire system lock, do you want to intercept and evade it?"
"unnecessary."
"Understood, activate anti-impact preparations and enter a defensive state."
"..."
The temporary captain Alex was confused. The next second, he saw most of the hull of the last alien reconnaissance ship emerging from the water. The final BOSS fire control system was all turned on, and hundreds of missiles were released in an instant. Earth-penetrating missile.
boom! boom! boom! boom----
The densely thrown missiles covered the area where the John Paul Jones was located. Most of the ammunition fell into the water and exploded, while the rest were embedded in the surface of the ship like nails.
The warhead exploded with a secondary impact, embedded deeply into the ship's hull, and then exploded simultaneously after being stationary for a short period of time.
Boom! !
The hurricane set off turbulent waves and shook thousands of hectares of water high into the sky. The scene was spectacular.
The John Paul Jones remained unmoved in its defensive state. It was as steady as an old dog in the face of the crazy saturation attacks, without even swaying.
The injured parts of the ship's body healed automatically, and were restored to the original state within a few breaths.
The temporary captain Alex's eyes were even hotter. Not only him, but the whole ship including the crew of the Myoko next door had extremely hot eyes.
want to!
They would never dream of operating this kind of battleship where only I can bully others and no one else can bully me.
Alex thought a lot about what it would be like if a battleship had the ability to heal itself.
It’s not that aircraft carriers are bad, or that cruise missiles are not advanced enough, but the battle that ends in an instant lacks passion and cannot give people the passionate heroics and hearty excitement of battleship bombardment.
He fantasizes about two armies facing off, controlling a battleship that can never be sunk, and running rampant in a hail of bullets. Every time a cannonball slides down the barrel, there is a burst of smoke and flames.
The First World War established the dominance of battleships. During the Second World War, their space was occupied by aircraft carriers.
The last time it participated in the war, the battleship served as a fire support ship and cruise missile launch platform. Its cost was not proportional to its role, and it sadly withdrew from the stage of history.
There are various reasons. In addition to the gradual increase in the strategic status of aircraft carriers, the emergence of new missiles and guided artillery shells has also caused the original advantages of large-caliber artillery on battleships to no longer exist, making them unable to undertake the task of destroying key enemy targets.
The most critical thing is that although the battleship has a large tonnage, strong firepower, and thick armor, it also has shortcomings such as large targets, vulnerability to attack, and poor air defense and anti-submarine capabilities. It is especially clumsy under air attacks.
Faced with flexible air firepower, the battleship became a living target on the sea. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the aircraft carrier's aircraft, it would only end up sinking.
Moreover, battleships are really too expensive!
It can be said that if Alex were asked to choose between a destroyer and a battleship, he would still choose the battleship.
Don't ask, just ask.
After being enchanted by the left side of the throne, Alex saw a battleship that only existed in dreams. Its advantages of powerful firepower and invincible armor were infinitely magnified, and he was almost greedy to death.
"This...sir, I am Captain Alex Hope."
Alex couldn't help but feel the heat in his heart. He took two steps forward and got behind Russell. He originally wanted to call him 'angel', but when he remembered the name of the ship John Paul Jones, he immediately changed his words.
"Hello, Captain! Goodbye, Captain!"
"..."
Alex's eyelids twitched. It was harder for Russell to communicate than he expected, but he still couldn't bear the desire in his heart. He swallowed and said: "Sir, the last enemy ship can allow me and my crew to come." Is it solved?"
In the control room, the crew members held their breath and turned red with excitement. They had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
"no!"
Russell turned his head slightly: "I am on a mission, and there are still research projects to be carried out in heaven."
After the words fell, the Deathstroke armor walked into the control room. The eight sharp blades behind his back were folded and folded. His cold eyes forced Alex to retreat, and he stood quietly in front of Russell.
Russell took out a piece of silver-gray metal ore from behind his butt—mysterious metal X!
The product of a certain advanced civilization, a magical metal that can only be used by mechanical life forms. It can bless mechanical life forms and greatly enhance the user's power, such as superpowers.
Superpowers vary from person to person. When Russell used the mechanical character card, he obtained the fused abilities from the mysterious metal X.
Russell used this prop to defeat his enemies twice.
For the first time, he used Skyfire's character card to snatch Megatron's body for fusion, and defeated the invincible Fallen King Kong.
The second time, he used the character card of Fallen King Kong, fused with McZod's metal body, and killed Godzilla.
Then it was gone, but there was still an 'Optimus Prime' lying in Russell's character card, which he would definitely still be able to use in the future.
"Try it and see what abilities you have gained."
Russell threw the mysterious metal
"Fusion!?"
Russell was surprised. He remembered that the superpowers given by the mysterious Metal X were not fixed. It was a coincidence that the Deathstroke Armor was the same as him.
Without Russell's words, Deathstroke Armor understood what he meant and placed the mysterious metal X on the deck.
"Who is that, and what abilities have you gained?"
"Sir, I can merge with any machine, such as...hey hey, this guy dressed in white."
John Paul Jones let out a heartfelt laugh, and heard the Deathstroke Armor take a few steps back, eight sharp blades ejected, the fire control system of the whole body opened subconsciously, the energy of long guns and short cannons was fully charged, and it was ready to go. .
"Death Knell, merge with it, no, I mean fuse."
They are all fusion abilities. It would be too much of a coincidence to say that it is a coincidence. Russell attributed the reason to the fact that he gave life to the John Paul Jones and the Deathstroke Armor, so they were treated equally by the mysterious Metal X.
It is easy to prove this conjecture. Go back to find Eleanor and Arnold and you will know.
Oh, and there is the T-1000, whose presence is so low that Russell almost ignored him.
"Sir, may I refuse?"
Unlike the John Paul Jones, which was full of promises, the Deathstroke Armor was very repulsive. Although he was a machine and had no gender, his purely male soul made him refuse to merge with a gay man.
Especially this gay guy's mouth opening and closing, making it awkward for him to listen no matter what.
"What do you think?"
Russell asked back, and the Deathstroke armor was silent for three seconds. The visor bounced off and threw the mysterious metal X in.
Only then did Alex realize that the interior of the Deathstroke armor, which had been talking all the time, was empty, with no mecha master controlling it.
"???"
He remembered that Russell claimed to be on a mission from heaven, so the angels in the myth took the technological route?
It turns out that what I read was a fake Bible!
In the control room, there were many people who had the same idea as Alex. Several marines with cross tattoos on their bodies found that they couldn't understand faith.
When the next Judgment Day comes, will God launch a great flood, send down the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, or explode the earth into high-energy particles with a dark matter annihilation cannon.
Times have changed!
Russell didn't need telepathy to guess what these people were thinking. In order to maintain the image of a cold angel, he didn't bother to explain more and let them continue to think wildly.
The mysterious metal
Fusion begins!
