An Unscientific Mechanic

"About half of them guard the fallen colony, and about half stay in the mainland..." Ian had already seen the Zeon fleet assembled in front. "Is Zeon's quality like this? There is no formation..."

More than a dozen Musais in front of the ship were strewn across the hull, pouring firepower at the support aircraft. Green light beams passed by the support aircraft sparsely. Many shells from the 120mm anti-aircraft guns hit the aircraft, but they were all killed by gn The position is blocked.

Suddenly, the navigation system started to alarm.

"What's wrong?" Ian looked down at the navigation data. "Oh... it's on the beam axis of the electromagnetic gun." The support aircraft raised its head sharply at 90 degrees, away from the beam axis of the electromagnetic gun.

"Captain, Lieutenant Colonel Ian has left the ray axis, but the Zeon fleet is still on the ray axis."

"What about the impact on ballistics?"

"Can be ignored."

"Then fire."

"Understood, everyone is in the impact position. There is still time to launch, 5... 4... 3... 1... launch!"

The muzzles of the two electromagnetic guns installed on the ejection deck of the Dawn Holy Sword flashed a dazzling arc, and the armor-piercing high-explosive shells with a diameter of 6000 mm passed through an accelerated trajectory of up to 50 meters and shot at more than 1 second per second. The speed of 3000 kilometers rushed out of the muzzle.

The battleship was also affected by the huge recoil, and it slowed down sharply. But it was offset by the thrusters that automatically compensated for the increased thrust in an instant.

"The projectile speed is 3,000 kilometers per second...Are all the people in Lockheed crazy?" On the way up, Ian saw the bow of a Musai ship hit by a shell, and it was instantly smashed into a pile of fragments. The huge impact caused the Musai to start to rotate instantly, and the flight attitude was controlled under the action of the attitude control nozzle after turning more than 270 degrees.

The two shells hit the colony beam cannon after flying for 2 seconds. Both shells hit the colony's beam cannon from the side. In an instant, two pieces of the side wall of the colony were torn off, and the shells exploded in the hollow in the middle of the colony after passing through the outer wall of the colony. The explosion of two shells with a charge of 4 tons of explosives produced a brief flash in the muzzle.

"Pass through? No...it's too long to delay the detonation of the fuze, and the time for the shell to pass through the outer wall of the colony is even less than one ten-thousandth of a second." Ian observed the shelling results with a long-range telescope. "Holy Sword of Dawn, the artillery shells have been replaced with impact fuzes. The minimum delay time of the delay fuzes is too long. Er..." Seeing the outer wall of the colony being torn apart by the kinetic energy of the artillery shells, Ian suddenly felt that the fuzes were not important.

"Correction, don't change the fuze. Anyway, it mainly relies on kinetic energy to kill people. The blasting power doesn't matter anymore."

"Understood, the shells remain as they are, the electromagnetic gun heats up, and the battery recharges. There are still 5 minutes before the next round."

"Captain, according to the flying direction of the debris, we found a Federation warship 1,500 kilometers away."

"What is the anti-air security doing?! There is only one?" Musai's captain stared at the Dawn Holy Sword, which was no bigger than a fingernail in the long-range view.

"Gunner, the destruction of the Iwo Jima just now should be a super-high-speed mass weapon?" The captain turned to look at the gunner.

"Well, most likely, the radar signal only exists for less than a tenth of a second. The detection range of our Musai-class radar is close to 300 kilometers, which means... the speed of the shell exceeds 3,000 kilometers per second. A spacecraft that can resist this kind of power, not even a space fortress." The gunner's face turned pale. "Moreover, judging from the frontal projection, it should be an enterprise-class special ship. Even if it is only equipped with a normal enterprise-class main gun, their range is more than 200 kilometers longer than the enhanced Musai main gun. According to the rate of fire of the federal naval guns, even if we approach at the maximum combat speed, we will have to carry 2 rounds of salvo to enter the effective range of Musai."

"...It's still the same situation. If you bring in two Orochis, isn't that thing said to have a range of more than 2,000 kilometers? Send a request for help to the Central Command, and the patrol fleet cannot complete the task of driving away the enemy ships."

"Captain, there is an order from the rear to destroy the enemy ship at all costs. The shelling of the enemy ship just now destroyed the Solar Rey..."

"Isn't Solar Rey more than 4,000 kilometers behind?? The shelling just now was not aimed at us?!" The captain was a little messy.

"The Solar Rey is seriously damaged, and another shot is in danger of disintegrating. The headquarters ordered all nearby combat units to intercept it, regardless of the fighter jet just now."

"Got it, got it, contact the surrounding ships. With the ship as the center, form an artillery formation as loose as possible," the unknown Captain Musai took off his military cap and took out his spacesuit. "The battle configuration inside the ship, all crew members wear space suits, and the maximum combat speed of the ship."

In less than a minute, the bridge crew changed into their space suits.

"Gunner, use missiles to attack the enemy first." The captain stood on the captain's seat.

"However, the maximum range of the missile has not yet been reached..." The gunner was a little embarrassed.

"Use inertial navigation to sail, and then start the engine after the radar that comes with the missile detects the enemy ship." The captain hated iron for steel. "Didn't you have any snacks after being bombed so badly in the Lumu space?"

The sixteen Musai who were performing patrol and sentry tasks formed a loose complex column, and then began to fire missiles at the Holy Sword of Dawn.

"Captain Bled, the enemy fleet is approaching and has launched missiles. It is expected to contact the missile in 3 minutes and contact the enemy fleet in 5 minutes."

"Understood, prepare for air-to-air battles and artillery battles, retreat the hull, and do not touch the enemy fleet before the second launch."

"learn."

"Captain, the enemy ms is approaching. It is estimated that it will enter the air defense circle of the ship in 2 minutes. The enemy plane is suspected to be equipped with large propellers, and its speed is very fast. It is suspected to be the kind of Zaku that the ms team mentioned is very flexible."

"The main target of the large-caliber anti-aircraft gun is changed to enemy ms, missile launchers, and deploy mines on the enemy's forward path."

"Understood, mines and missiles, launch."

The propellers at the front of the Holy Sword of Dawn began to spray, and the hull slowly accelerated in the direction. At the same time, the missile launcher fired 64 medium-sized missiles. The shells of the missiles exploded in a certain airspace, and each missile scattered 32 anti-MS mines.

On the display screen in front of the deputy commander of Dawn Holy Sword, the progress bar showing the charging progress of the electromagnetic gun is slowly advancing.

"Mr. Dali Lu Cao, the enemy ship launched a missile and is suspected of using inertial navigation to approach us, but the radar has not found it yet."

"Understood, the route remains the same. Zaku's sensors are enough to detect missiles. With the mobility of this high-mobility Zaku, the missiles will not hit us." Dalilu was full of enthusiasm for this high-mobility Zaku regeneration P equipment. confidence. "This machine is more free than the limbs I lost." Cao Chang, who had his limbs cut off when he was healthy, thought to himself.

"Dalilu, the missile should be here..."

"Strange..." Dalilu used the sniper on the beam bazooka to search carefully with the long-range optical sensor. "Mines! Feicha! Orbit change, hurry up! Mines!"

The four high-mobility Zaku quickly changed their orbits, trying to bypass the mine cluster.

"The range is too wide! All planes retreat! Go around it!" Dalilu found that the radius of this spherical mine group reached an astonishing 50 kilometers, and it was impossible to get around it in a short time.

"Captain Brad, the enemy plane has made a detour to avoid the mines. The computer predicts that the contact time is expected to be extended to 6 minutes."

"Enough." Brad looked at the charging progress of the electromagnetic gun. There are 3 minutes and 15 seconds left.

"Missile group, approach, enter the air defense circle in 15 seconds."

"Automatically attack."

The anti-aircraft guns all over the hull poured out barrages and began to intercept incoming missiles.

"The barrage on the port side is too thin!" The remaining missiles on the right side of the hull were far less than those on the port side, and Brad looked very anxious.

"Point defense missile launch!" The chief gunner decisively activated the missile defense system within 10 kilometers.

Dozens of short-range missiles sprayed out from the missile launcher, facing the anti-ship missiles that did not have anti-aircraft guns for the time being.

Seeing that the last missile of the first wave was intercepted less than 100 meters away from the hull, Brad let out a long breath.

"Second wave of missiles, approaching."

"SAM launches, a single ship cannot form a cross-fire network, and cannot intercept so many missiles." Brad ordered.

"Understood, SAM fired." The gunnery began assigning targets. Subsequently, the three 64-mounted missile launchers on the ship began to launch long-range air defense missiles at a rate of three rounds per second.

"Master of Artillery, why didn't you use anti-aircraft missiles just now?"

"Forget, there is no such thing as anti-aircraft missiles on the Magellan class. I am just a mere reservist. I have only received training on the Magellan class. I only received operation training on this ship a week ago."

Seeing the gunnery chief's mouth keep pushing, and the operation in his hand didn't slow down, Brad knew that this is another big guy who hides in the city...

"Deputy Commander, prepare to bombard the ship. After the second round of the electromagnetic gun is fired, the hull turns 90 degrees and retreats while bombarding the enemy ship."

"Understood, helmsman, prepare for a 90-degree turn, Otto, can you assign the main gun target?"

"The firing order has been set long ago, and we are waiting for the order." The artillery chief replied casually.

"There is still a distance to shoot, 3... 2... 1... launch!"

Two blue lights flashed from the muzzle, and the shells flew out, flying towards the colonial beam cannon.

"Enemy ship, high-energy response!" CIC's wailing came from the Musai-class bridge.

"What?!"

Radar warning beeps flickered.

"The shell fired by the enemy ship just flew past!"

"Ruined!"

Captain Musai called up the video sent by Kilian's personal guards who rushed to protect Solar Rey.

A Mobei class was smashed in half, and the wreckage at both ends flew away in a spin. The attitude control nozzles sprayed flames in vain to try to control the attitude. However, the broken hull could not link the ship at all. The nozzles on the front and back of the body are used to control the posture.

The end of the colony was directly hit by two shells, and a full third of the circular structure at the end of the colony was torn out.

"The gun body is overheated, and the forced cooling has started." After the gunnery chief finished reading the system self-inspection report, he stopped paying attention to the electromagnetic gun. "The enemy fleet is about to enter the range of the main gun, the energy injection starts, the fire control radar and the optical sighting system lock the target. Captain?"

"The bombardment begins, the left rudder is full! The anti-ship missiles are free to fire."

The tail nozzle of the Holy Sword of Dawn erupted with a huge tail flame, and the leading steering nozzle also operated at full power, twisting the hull.

The 8 main guns that can point to the starboard side are firmly locked on the intended target and are ready to fire at any time.

"The target enters the effective range, and the main gun fires."

24 beams flew to 8 Musais.

"The enemy ship fires!"

"It's too early! Avoid!" The Musai class began to evade maneuvers one after another.

A few seconds passed, and the beam passed across the Musai formation. Five Musai were hit head-on, exploded and sank on the spot.

"That ship, the main gun is not right, the range is too far, the power is too great, the range is at least 300 kilometers more than the enterprise class, the power is too great, a single hit can sink the Musai class?!" Dodged a catastrophe Captain Musey's face was a little blue. "Let us intercept this monster?! The whole ship retreats! Give the ms team a power and tell them to retreat, don't die, the solar rey has been destroyed."

The Musai class quickly turned to evacuate. After receiving the communication from the patrol fleet, the highly mobile Zaku of the Legion of the Living Dead retreated unwillingly cursing.

"The effect is too good, I thought it would confront the Zeon garrison fleet..." Seeing the Zeon fleet retreat, Brad took off his helmet.

"No, Captain Brad, we are indeed going to fight the Zeon Defense Fleet." The deputy commander sent Brad the long-range telescopic image. "The Zeon garrison fleet is pouring out, what should we do, Captain Brad?"

"Ghost knows!" Brad watched the formation of hundreds of warships gradually take shape, his expression gradually collapsed. "Contact Lieutenant Colonel Ian, let him come back, and have instructions for the next step. At the same time, contact Gaburo to inform the results of the battle and the consequences. Now, evacuate in the direction of the First Fleet at maximum speed."

Brad took another look at Zeon's grand fleet.

"Let's leave this mess to General Rebir, it's not something a captain like me can solve."

"The Zeon army is coming out in full force? I don't want the mainland?" Ian watched as they swarmed out from various docks and assembled into a large formation. Even three of the legendary Doros-class space aircraft carriers came out.

"Lieutenant Colonel Ian, please return as soon as possible, what should we do next?"

"I don't know." Ian looked at the assembled Zeon fleet and his mouth twitched. "The bastard of the Zabi family, don't you know how to surrender? Contact Gaburo and ask Admiral Garp to make a decision. If a fleet of this size merges with the fleet guarding the colony, the First Fleet will not be able to handle it."

"So, you directly destroyed Zeon's decisive weapon?" General Garp was very happy. "The overall situation is settled."

"But the Zeon fleet is swarming out, and it seems to be going to a decisive battle with the Federation." Admiral Garp's smile froze on his face.

"Fleet size, more than 200 cruiser-class ships, more than 40 battleship-class ships, three super-large aircraft carriers, and more than 60 transport ships."

Every time General Garp read a sentence, his face turned cold. Then I found out the size of the cover fleet that fell in the colony. More than 150 cruisers, more than 30 battleships, and more than 15 transport ships.

"Give Rebill power, bring the intercept point closer, and prepare for a decisive battle. Gaburo urgently starts processing the second Archimedes system. It doesn't matter if it's smaller, and it's sent to the universe as soon as possible." General Garp hung up the phone.

"Bastard of Zeon, don't you want to be native?"
