Chapter 221: The truth of the world's giant corporation! Fire! Shoot!
However, judging from what is happening now, the humans here seem to have developed a starship navy, which is more troublesome than the Reapers expected.
But the problem is not big.
After all, the human civilization here cannot even leave its own solar system. To put it bluntly, it is still a backward "native" who is not up to standard.
The Reaper Queen and the billions of Reaper bugs never considered humans as their number one rival!
Here, the Reaper civilization, which was attacked by the human fleet, began to respond quickly.
They adjusted the flight angle of the ship and calculated the approximate position of the fleet ahead based on the trajectory.
Then, under the command of the Queen, the Reaper decided to launch the first round of exploratory projectile attacks on the enemy in front of it.
Swish——! !
Instantly, the turrets at the front of the mothership clustered together and fired dense energy cannons forward.
Seen from a distance, these energy cannons shooting like raindrops look like blooming fireworks.
But the Reaper's bombardment may seem fierce, but it is actually useless.
Because they didn't lock onto the position of the Infinity-class fleet at the first opportunity, they just fired a salvo towards its approximate location.
The star field of the universe is so vast that even an inconspicuous area has an astonishingly large spatial range!
Therefore, the energy cannon fired by the Reaper mothership basically did not hit the corporate fleet, and only a small amount of energy splashed onto the hull.
But even so, it was of no avail. After all, this amount of damage could not even trigger the antimatter shield and almost dissipated on its own.
Seeing that the bombardment situation was somewhat different from what they expected, the Reapers immediately made further precise calculations and scanned the fleet information ahead.
They decided to change direction, first get rid of the attack lock of the human fleet, and then counterattack after scanning the specific location of the enemy.
At this moment, the gunboat, which had entered stealth mode, began to fly out of the hatch of the Infinity-class ship and flew towards the Reaper's mothership.
The Astartes warriors who were carrying out the decapitation operation were only more than 20,000 kilometers away from their destination!
At this moment, communication reminders from various combat units have sounded in the Infinity-class flagship command center.
[Report! The second round of salvo attack failed to take effect. Repeat again, the second round of shooting was ineffective. Our fleet failed to penetrate the enemy's energy shield.]
[Sir, we have detected that the enemy is releasing high-frequency pulse waves. They are trying to capture our location information.]
[Do we need to move and jump? If we continue to stay here and attack, we will also be counterattacked by the opponent! ]
【…】
At this moment, a lot of dense data and intelligence transmitted by various units appeared on the central console screen in front of Morgan Blackhand.
Listening to these chaotic and urgent messages, Morgan Blackhand, who was sitting in the command room, suddenly felt some empathy and understanding for his boss Leon.
Just leading this interstellar fleet is enough to make him feel extremely stressed, not to mention being in charge of such a huge global corporation. This position is not something that everyone can hold!
At this time, Morgan Blackhand, with a frown on his face, was learning about the various aspects of the fleet through the dynamic information on several holographic screens.
While paying close attention to the charging of the third round of energy cannons, he continued to speak until the "charging completed" prompt came, and then he gave the order:
"Continue to prepare for a salvo of artillery fire and adjust the sailing angle of the entire fleet. Pay attention, don't use the jump engine, use the antimatter engine to adjust the speed."
"Yes, sir."
After receiving Morgan's exact instructions, the helmsmen and gunners of each ship immediately operated their respective devices, preparing to carry out a series of operations in accordance with the information sent by the flagship.
Immediately, while the Megacorp fleet was moving to the right, the plasma cannon, electromagnetic accelerator cannon, M6A4 laser cannon, and Mark electromagnetic cannon that had completed charging began to fire.
Swish——! !
At this moment, the vibration caused by the energy cannon device caused the interior cabins of the entire fleet to show signs of slight vibration.
Thousands of secondary attack devices equipped with missile launch nests also fired thousands of strategic-level plasma bombs and tactical hydrogen bombs.
The first two attacks of the Universal Enterprise Fleet were actually gradually increasing artillery strikes, and they did not directly launch a big move right at the beginning.
This is to test how much energy cannon bombardment the Reaper civilization's energy shield can withstand, so that scientific researchers can do data analysis.
Therefore, the ineffectiveness of the first two attacks was within Morgan Blackhand's expectations.
This time, they will open fire at full power, concentrate all the output of this fleet on one point, and attack the Reaper's mothership.
A truth of Leon's is circulated among the world's giants: "Anything can be destroyed, it all depends on the energy required!"
Even the strongest metal will suffer local permanent damage under continuous force, leading to sudden fracture.
No matter how unpredictable the quantum Netherworld soldiers are, they can be transformed into elementary particles without any shape under the bombardment of extremely strong energy.
Logically speaking, the same goes for the Reaper's energy shield!
Soon, the holographic screen in front of Morgan Blackhand showed a real-time scene of the fleet's salvo, through the flying "light spots" on the screen.
He could clearly see that the energy artillery attack from the fleet of the Universal Corporation was rapidly approaching the Reaper's mothership!
The electromagnetic accelerator from the Infinity-class main gun first hit the tip of the enemy mothership.
Following closely behind were plasma cannons and laser cannons, and finally plasma bombs and tactical hydrogen bombs that flew at a speed of 70 Mach!
boom--!
In the silent cosmic battlefield, bursts of brilliant fireworks ignited. Morgan Blackhand, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, had already imagined the sound of artillery bombardment in his mind based on the scene before him.
At this time, the observer in front sent a message:
[Report to the Captain! ]
[It has been detected that the enemy targets are intercepting our missiles. Currently, 777 missiles have failed, and the rest have passed the enemy's air defense system. ]
【…】
As the observer's voice fell, there were some vibrations on the holographic screen, which meant that the missile strike was effective and the fleet's total attack volume had exceeded 80%!
boom--! !
When the last plasma bomb and hydrogen bomb fell on the Reaper mothership, the faint blue glow and the sun-like light complemented each other and instantly illuminated the dark star field.
Upon seeing this scene, the combatants in the fleet couldn't help but fall into a daze for a moment, and an indescribable tingling sensation on their scalp quickly swept through their bodies.
They had never felt so personally that the striking power of a global giant could actually bring such a strong shock to people!
You have to know that before this, no one has ever seen the scene where the Infinity-class battleship array opened fire at full power and poured all the energy cannons into one point.
Even veterans who have served on Infinity-class ships for more than 20 years have never seen the highest output of Infinity-class ships. The array of just two Infinity-class ships can cause such a shocking destructive effect. If the two hundred ships exert their power at the same time, they will destroy this huge mothership on the spot!
After a brief silence and stagnation, the employees on the fleet turned their attention back to their respective posts.
The observers who were in charge of checking the bombardment also presented their respective images to Morgan Blackhand:
"Report to the commander, the shield of the Reaper mothership has been broken, and our salvo attack was successful!"
The holographic screen showed that the energy shield of the Reaper mothership had reached its limit and began to collapse and disintegrate.
Like a broken mirror, layers of mesh shields were annihilated into ashes, exposing the entire mothership to the vacuum environment of the universe.
"As expected! The Reaper's mothership's shield has its limits. It can't possibly withstand continuous energy strikes."
Morgan Blackhand heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. This time he ordered the entire fleet to increase the offensive firepower to the maximum.
The full-power energy cannon, electromagnetic cannon, and fully loaded plasma bomb and hydrogen bomb were fired at once. It would take 15 minutes to recharge and load them again!
During this period of output vacuum, the giant enterprise's fleet can only rely on close-range air artillery and some long-range artillery strikes.
But this insignificant firepower attack cannot cross tens of thousands of kilometers and accurately hit the Reaper's mothership.
At most, it can be used to shoot down aircraft sent by the Reapers.
If this salvo attack still fails to break the Reaper's shield.
Then Morgan can only send out a flying vehicle controlled by AI and equipped with an antimatter shield to break the shield of the enemy mothership.
But this plan is not so easy to implement. After all, the Reapers are not fools. How could they watch the enemy's flying units approaching their own mothership so brazenly?
The aircraft that might have been used to break the shield was swept down by the Reaper's anti-aircraft barrage just halfway through its journey!
Therefore, it would be best if we could break through the Reaper's barrier shield with a volley of attacks.
At this moment, seeing that the shield of the Reaper mothership had been broken, Morgan Blackhand immediately issued a new order:
"According to the established plan!"
"Attract as much enemy attention as possible to create opportunities for our assault team."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order from the commander-in-chief, all the staff members began to control the ships and carry out a series of actions at their respective positions.
With Morgan's Infinity-class flagship in control, the rest of the fleet worked together perfectly and quickly attacked the Reaper mothership.
Beep!
Just then, a rapid, sharp prompt sound rang out.
The staff member in charge of observing the situation immediately reminded Morgan Blackhand:
"Report to the commander, the enemy has locked onto our position and has detected the location of the assault boat!"
This sudden bad news made Morgan Blackhand frown. He didn't expect the Reaper's reconnaissance technology to be so powerful.
If the commando team led by V was intercepted and failed to sneak into the Reaper's mothership, it would be troublesome!
They must draw the Reaper's attention as quickly as possible and create more opportunities for V.
"Full throttle, full speed ahead!"
Of course, the order Morgan Blackhand had just issued could not have been for the fleets to directly ram into the Reaper mothership.
Instead, the fleet array was divided into two directions, upper and lower, in a "drifting" posture, advancing towards the enemy's mothership respectively.
After all, the Reapers have released dense energy artillery at them, and Morgan must try his best to shake off these artillery attacks, find a suitable position again, and launch further counterattacks.
At this moment, the distance between the two fleets is neither far nor close. If a superluminal engine is used, it would definitely be unnecessary.
Therefore, the best option is to use conventional engine devices to complete the movement of the ship's position with less energy consumption and escape the enemy's fire attack lock.
At this time, the technological gap between the giant enterprises and the Harvester civilization was revealed!
Although both sides have hyperdrive engines, the Reapers' conventional engine devices actually use nuclear fusion technology.
The conventional engine of the world's giant enterprise is real antimatter technology!
The driving efficiency and energy gap between the two is still quite obvious.
What's more, the size of the Universal Corporation's fleet is far inferior to that of the Reaper Civilization's mothership.
Being big has big advantages, but being small also has small advantages!
When both sides started their conventional engines at the same time, trying to get rid of each other's firepower anchors, Morgan's fleet was definitely faster.
After Morgan Blackhand's order was issued, the fleet array of the giant enterprise began to disperse and deviate from the original sailing route at a very fast speed.
Standing on the center console of the flagship, Morgan could see through the holographic screen that the energy barrage released by the Reaper mothership was about to arrive near the Infinity.
At this moment, there was actually no need to look at the holographic screen. Everyone on the ship only needed to look at the observation window beside them to see clusters of dark green energy light rapidly passing by the Endless Level.
Faced with the counterattack launched by the Reaper mothership, the people in the Megacorp fleet seemed very indifferent and did not even bother to look at it.
Their antimatter shields can withstand a salvo of fire from 10 Infinity-class main guns!
As for the Reaper civilization's light energy waves, their power is probably about the same as the dynamic light waves of Superman in "Crayon Shin-chan".
Thanks to Morgan Blackhand's timely command, the counterattack energy cannon launched by the Reaper mothership basically passed by the Infinity and did not cause any substantial damage.
Here, after avoiding the Reaper's first wave of energy cannon attacks, the helmsman responsible for adjusting the direction of navigation also started the antimatter engine and carried out the first wave of acceleration.
In an instant, the entire cabin of the Infinity began to shake and vibrate, which was a direct feedback from the Infinity's accelerated speed.
The Reaper mothership, which was not far from the Infinity, began to be rapidly "enlarged" and appeared in everyone's sight.
Seeing that the distance between the two fleets had been maintained at about the same level, Morgan Blackhand nodded and spoke in a low voice:
"Send out the fighter squadron and hit them hard!"
As soon as the words fell, the officers below responded immediately.
"Yes, sir."
