Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women
Chapter 140: Sea of Insects
Four Interstellar Missiles collided with four biological plasma cannons, exploding!
Waves of ripples were generated.
The pulse lasers from the sixteen medium pulse laser secondary cannons also accurately hit sixteen very small biological plasma cannons.
That was clearly the attack of the T1 Zerg Hive Mothership.
The size and thickness, compared to the T3 Insectoid Hive Mothership, was like the difference between a toothpick and a bottle of cola.
At the same time, the seventy-two medium close-in defense cannons, firing at full power, also intercepted a large number of biological plasma cannons.
But even so, a few biological plasma cannons broke through the interception and hit the hull armor of the T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser.
“Warning! Star Shield is under attack...”
“Warning! Starship port side armor under attack! Port side hull armor strength remaining 93%!”
“Warning! Starship starboard side armor under attack! Starboard side hull armor strength remaining 98%.”
“Warning! ......”
These toothpick-like attacks were ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) like mere raindrops to the hull armor of the T3 Blizzard.
Zhao Chen didn't even feel any vibration on the Bridge.
“Interception rate 93%.” Zhao Chen looked at the number quickly tallied by the nearby crew member, and he showed an appreciative expression.
But Charlotte shook her head with some annoyance, seemingly not very satisfied with the number.
Then she looked at the Star Shield energy value.
Under that wave of attack just now, the Star Shield energy value dropped to ‘56%’!
This was the difference in attack intensity between the T2 Zerg Hive Mothership and the T1 Zerg Hive Mothership compared to the T3 Insectoid Hive Mothership.
So many attacks combined were still not as powerful as two shots from the T3 Insectoid Hive Mothership.
“Report, the swarm's distance from our Starship has broken through the alert range! At the same time, our Starship's forward path is blocked by the swarm!” the crew member reported nervously.
Now, if one looked towards the front of the T3 Blizzard, it was almost a 'darkness'.
The 'friendly fire' casualties from the biological plasma cannon attacks just now only formed temporary small gaps, which were again filled by the overwhelming swarm a few breaths ago.
The T3 Blizzard's firepower configuration alone was not enough to completely suppress such a large number of swarms.
At this moment, from the outside, it looked like a black abyss's giant maw was about to swallow the entire Interstellar Warship!
Hangar
“It’s over! It’s over! The biggest problem has appeared, insufficient firepower! Insufficient firepower!” A professor mentor jumped up and down in a hurry.
Another professor mentor sighed and said, “The most taboo thing when dealing with Interstellar Insectoids is insufficient firepower.
Facing Interstellar Insectoids, there must be enough firepower to suppress them, maintain the combat zone with the Interstellar Insectoids, and then continuously wear them down.
Once the firepower is insufficient and the Starship is approached by the Interstellar Insectoids swarm, it will be a disaster for the Interstellar Warship!”
A female student squatted in a corner and began to wail, “Wuwuwu... We escaped the planet, but we still can’t escape these damned bugs... Wuwuwu... I want to go home... I want my mommy...”
Sad emotions also began to spread among the students; some good friends comforted each other, and some good girlfriends hugged and cried.
The boy who had been scared into a princess carry by the bug's head earlier, having no other friends to comfort him, happened to meet eyes at this moment...
“Senior Su Lan... Are we... really unable to escape?” Xue Xiaoxiao hugged Su Lan's waist, saying with some fear.
Su Lan recalled the scene when that man bravely stood in front of her to block a T2 Zerg in the interstellar wreckage battle on the planet.
And the scene of him descending from the sky, standing on the shoulder of a black mech.
She had an inexplicable sense of security; she stroked Xue Xiaoxiao's head and said firmly, “I believe Student Zhao Chen... can definitely take us out!”
Zhao Wan'er, holding Xue Xiaoxiao and Su Lan's hands beside them, also said firmly, “I believe in my brother!”
“Hehehe... No matter how strong your brother is, can he be stronger than those bugs outside? Don't joke around, everyone just wait to die.
It's just a different place to die.” Zhou Min, sitting in the corner like a beggar, laughed foolishly.
Teacher Qin looked at the bad mood in the Hangar, feeling helpless.
She could only look again at the pitch-black'sea of bugs' outside the porthole.
Can that man... lead them through this'sea of bugs'?
Bridge
Charlotte and Zhao Chen almost simultaneously glanced at the weapon module interface next to them, which showed the status of all Starship weapons.
The top two options were in a red state.
They were the Blizzard-class Heavy Clustered Laser Bow Cannon and the 2500mm Caliber Medium Electromagnetic Cannon Main Cannon.
Blizzard-class Heavy Clustered Laser Bow Cannon: Resetting energy storage requires 200 seconds.
2500 Caliber Medium Electromagnetic Cannon Main Cannon: Reloading requires 20 seconds.
Charlotte's expression was solemn; she stared at the sea of bugs in front of her and decisively ordered, “Release Starship engine restrictions, increase speed to 300 knots per stellar speed!
Close-in defense cannons fire at full power, Interstellar Drones fully intercept T3 Exploding Beetles and T3 Corruptors!
Interstellar Missiles are to be launched towards four positions ahead of the Starship's direction of travel, one every ten seconds!
Sixteen secondary cannons await my command to attack!
Four main cannons are on standby at all times!”
Lilith, watching from the side, clenched her hands nervously; at this moment, on this stage, it was as if all the spotlights were on Charlotte.
At this moment, the T3 Blizzard seemed to have become one with this White Tiger General, the Starship's will embodied!
Four Interstellar Missiles were launched first, exploding at Charlotte's predetermined positions, clearing an open area for the T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser's path ahead.
At the same time, the close-in defense cannons continued to fire at full power, preventing the surrounding swarms from approaching.
Interstellar Drones also constantly maneuvered, escorting the hull; any Bug Unit that pounced and bit onto the hull was quickly and precisely cleared by the Interstellar Drones.
Suddenly, several explosive air currents appeared around the Starship, and the generated shockwaves even impacted the hull, so much so that Zhao Chen could hear the impact, and the entire Bridge shook a few times.
Fortunately, it wasn't too big.
Those were T3 Exploding Beetles!
At the same time, Zhao Chen saw a T3 Corruptor break through the firepower interception on the screen, opening its mouthparts and directly biting onto the hull armor, attempting to create a hole in the hull armor with its corrosive sulfuric acid.
But the next second, an Interstellar Drone that was originally preparing to return to the Starship Drone Hangar for ammunition resupply, rushed straight down and collided with the T3 Corruptor, causing an explosion.
Splashing the T3 Corruptor's green fluid onto the Starship's paintwork.
“Report, four main cannons are ready!” the crew member shouted.
Charlotte's pupils dilated, and she sharply ordered, “Four main cannons aim at the position ahead of the bow, initiate timed detonation, with a five-second delay between each!
Fire!”
The four 2500-caliber main cannons successively fired four shells, and then four explosive vortices appeared one after another in front of the T3 Blizzard-class.
Forcibly creating a path for the T3 Blizzard.
At this moment...
