"Og" is the name of a Reaper warship, inherited from its predecessor, the Leviathan - to be precise, he is the commander-in-chief of this Reaper fleet of 24,000 warships. Pioneer-class Reaper battleship! Its body looks broad and powerful, and its limbs are angular and elegant. Counting from the arms and legs stretched forward from the head, the entire body is 4.3 kilometers long.
Even when this body was still the Leviathan beast, it was still the Leviathan prince who ruled over countless races in hundreds of galaxies!
But "Og" is a "smart man". He is not mechanical and closed like his colleagues - except for executing massacres and hibernation, at other times even if the two Reaper warships are less than one light second apart from each other, There will never be any communication - this is where the Reapers, despite their superior intelligence, are like living tools. But "Ogg" is different. He comes from an ancient civilized world tens of millions of years ago. He knows the origin of the reapers and even occasionally has a few words with Master "Catalyst". This gives Ogg a kind of "universal" ability. The temperament of "I am alone and awake"!
I am not a simple reaper!
The Reaper warships above the "Overlord" level have very high IQs, and they can share information with each other as long as they need it, and can do so regardless of distance in a world with repeaters. Therefore, when the entire Reaper fleet operates, it is like a huge and dense instrument, precise, elegant and methodical - never making mistakes!
This is the nature of the Reapers and their pride - so. At present, the Overlord-class battleship in the Citadel is unknown. What it has done has been known to all the Reapers, and it has been sentenced to death. This can be concluded from the fact that he does not know the existence of this fleet. That guy has been kicked out of the communication network...
"Ogg" is like a link in this machine at this moment, lining up in the third row of the entire fleet. As the fleet's impact wave slowly enters the main battlefield, no one can tell that he is commanding this. A battle. By the way, "Og" has used its huge spiritual power to "modify" the outside world's perception of it - no matter how precise you use optical, electronic, electromagnetic, gravitational... instruments to test it, you can only It was discovered that it was a small Destroyer-class battleship, among the entire large fleet. An inconspicuous member. Lu Yuan can probably guess it, but he has to distinguish between warships. He doesn't have the time either.
Seeing the white cube fleet unfolding ahead, "Og" will not underestimate it - he is very clear-headed about this mission. Because there are not many Pioneer-class Reapers among the thousands of Reaper fleets, they always act as commanders in every world-destroying battle. "Ogg's" tactical processing is quite powerful. Whenever he encounters a real "difficult problem", he will take action.
Even so, in the past tens of millions of years, "Og" has only been dispatched less than five times - one of which was to face the race that created the Citadel and the Repeater...
"Testing attack." Following the order of "Og", he himself flew out with a group of small Destroyers. After gathering into a formation of hundreds of ships, he joined dozens of Overlord-class battleships and moved forward. Crossed the balance line between the two sides.
*****
Balance line. Generally speaking, it refers to the maximum effective range of our main gun multiplied by 2. Crossing the balance line means that the battle will start anytime and anywhere.
The 33rd floor command deck of the Dawn Mothership has been divided into several large command spaces by transparent walls. Lu Yuan, Yakumo Zi, Zhao Min and Annie each lived among them. In addition to the commander, each command space also has a varying number of auxiliary personnel running between various instruments. The transparent walls can absorb sound and fluorescence scattered by countless holographic screens, so that each other's command will not be interfered with.
However, the transparent walls and the staggered and staggered command space allow everyone to have a clear view and provide a more intuitive impression.
of all commanders. Only Lu Yuan occupied the highest command space.
He sat in front of the highest porthole and leaned on the sofa in the most relaxed posture. He only left a back view for everyone. As the Reaper fleet in the field of vision gradually overlapped with the holographic image on the screen, everyone on the command deck felt a little nervous... At this time, a leader sitting there with his legs crossed could give everyone a confidence.
"It's just a test." Looking at the small reaper fleet that broke into the battle area, Annie said in the channel. Yes... it's just a trial. We have seen this kind of scene many times in simulations. The dozens of Misaka sisters who served as adjutants secretly made faces at each other as they passed each other.
"Get ready to engage the enemy...fire!" Although the "Thunderstrike" battleship has all kinds of weird configurations, its effective range is the only one that is extremely far, twice the main gun of an ordinary Overlord-class Reaper battleship! In other words, when the Reapers thought they were crossing the line of balance, they were actually wandering under the muzzle of the torpedo ship. After the small fleet had passed about one-third of the way, Anne decisively gave the firing order.
The huge milky white cube suddenly extended countless colorful straight lines.
The Reaper squadron consisting of 48 Overlord-class ships and 512 Destroyer-class ships was well prepared. The moment they were attacked, they suddenly separated like an explosion!
To the naked eye, one would think they were scurrying about like headless wasps. However, in the computer analysis, it can be clearly seen that this squadron is divided again into dozens of smaller micro-fleets, grouped in threes and threes, and their flight trajectories circle around each other without intersecting, forming a huge tree. shape trajectory.
But what the Reaper warships don’t understand is that while they know nothing about the Dawn—even when they need to test the range and power of the main guns of the Thunderstrike warships—the Dawn knows nothing about their warship structure, combat flight speed, and tactical habits. , judgment logic, etc. are well understood! Even well-trained…
Therefore, when the torpedo ship's main gun fired for 1.13 seconds and the wave of bombardment arrived, "Ogg" was surprised to find that - as if it could hear the hands of a clock moving - with "tick", "tick", "Answer" three clear rhythms. He watched helplessly as a small Destroyer battleship was accurately hit three times in flight, and then exploded into a ball of orange flames!
The opponent even only fired once! This rhythm is completely based on the different types of main guns. The difference in flight speed is insignificant!
At this moment, the entire battlefield was filled with explosive fireworks as the Destroyer was destroyed! No matter how the flexible little spaceship tried to dodge, it could not escape being hit one after another by the mysterious rays, and then exploded... Hundreds of flame flowers bloomed on the battlefield almost at the same time. In the blink of an eye, all the Destroyers in the combat area were destroyed, leaving only the Overlord Reaper unscathed.
"What is this...?!" Ogg admitted. He was completely shocked by this volley!
The shooting distance is as long as 1.13 seconds, which is enough time for the 160-meter-long Destroyer to change direction 8 times. Fly thousands of kilometers away! However, the extremely flexible Destroyer warship can actually seem to be played by the opponent, without any resistance? The opponent seemed to have a deep understanding of the Reaper's behavior pattern - even "Og" himself, who was pretending to be the Destroyer, was hit twice in an instant and just barely dodged the third shot. certainly. Ogg's body is an ancient pioneer, and its shield and hull are incredibly thick. This kind of shooting has no effect on it...
"The shooting intensity is average, and the flight speed of the ray is about one-third of the speed of light..." Ogg hid himself behind a burning wreckage and silently assessed the opponent's strength. It would take three shots from the opponent's main gun to destroy a small warship, but of course "Og" wouldn't believe it. What he saw now was the maximum power of the opponent's main gun. "But... what is that?!" He was shocked and incredulous to see that another new technology seemed to have appeared in the galaxy!
In its electromagnetic and energy vision, Ogg can see when the opponent's matrix begins to fire. There are countless "lines" connected to the Dawn main ship at the core at the same time! At that moment, the core of each Lightning Strike battleship was extremely bright. When the shooting ends, the connection is disconnected. The core of the lightning strike battleship cools rapidly and even moves along the axis...
There is no doubt that that is wireless energy transmission technology! Every warship located on a matrix node is actually just a shooting terminal. What really powers them is the largest umbrella-shaped warship at the core!
Faced with this technology that was impossible to appear in the Reaper's evaluation, "Og" felt that its computing core was no longer enough. So while he quietly retreated, he ordered the remaining reapers to continue attacking! for this technology. He wanted to know more, and it would be better if the Reapers could obtain it...
"One ship is missing. Commander." A Misaka reported to Annie. Under her surveillance, the 512 destroyer warships of the squadron were all targets of this shooting. However, when counting the number of destroyed ships, only 511 were found, and one was marked "missing".
"It's just a rat, don't worry about him! ...The target is the Overlord-class Reaper. The parameters of the lightning strike ship remain unchanged. Keep shooting!"
*****
Five minutes later, there was only a piece of debris left within the balance line...
Under the continuous salvoes of 24,000 lightning strike ships, 48 Overlord-class battleships and 511 Destroyer battleships that did not retreat were destroyed one after another. The price paid by the lightning strike fleet was only that four battleships were "heavily damaged" - one was split in two by the Reaper's main gun, one had a huge metal bubble on its side, and the other two were also damaged to varying degrees. damage...
When faced with the main guns of the "Overlord-class" Reaper battleships, these "Thunder Strike" battleships without kinetic energy barriers began to show their fragile side. It seemed that when faced with a full blow from the death-scythe-like liquid metal flow, The alloy hull alone is almost fragile! The hull was cut into two parts by a terrifying Overlord-level main gun shot.
These four warships encountered a concentrated attack from the Reapers, who tried to use them to understand the characteristics of the Lightning Strike Fleet, so they looked very shabby and miserable. The Reaper's main and secondary guns were like giving a bath to a lightning strike battleship, testing them from beginning to end.
What makes the Reapers feel pity is that from beginning to end, no matter how miserable the appearance of these battleships, they have never been hit to self-destruction - the lightning strike battleship lacks a mass effect core and energy storage structure, and is nothing more than a piece of metal when not shooting. Pillars - just like a cannon without shells, it certainly cannot cause a chain reaction of explosions.
"Let them stay there and wait for orders, and don't participate in the next battle for the time being!" This was the order given by Anne to the four battleships. Obviously, these battleships that seem to be completely finished can actually continue to fight...
On the other side of the main battlefield, "Ogg" is also summarizing combat data. The remaining more than 20,000 Reaper warships that have not entered the battlefield are like 20,000 microscopes, collecting all the details of the battlefield. Regardless of the hidden or unhidden strength of the Lightning Strike Fleet, it was all calculated by "Og" at this moment... The direction of the battlefield will never follow one person's wishes.
"Our losses today are comparable to the total losses in the past ten million years!" The voice of the pioneer "Og" echoed in the silent Reaper fleet, and could even be heard by Ai Ziyou who was far away on the Dawn. arrive. "But I don't care! Because the game... has just begun."
With his voice and a large amount of data, a mad rush towards the Reaper fleet spread across half of the galaxy, and the mystery of the Dawn was peeled away layer by layer.
"Get ready, the next time is a general attack!" (To be continued)
