Chapter 249 The Intrusive Silicon-Based Life Form
When the second frigate was ordered to provide support, the 2001 frigate had already turned the surrounding 50-kilometer area upside down and successfully reduced the elevation of the area by 0.4 meters.
Faced with the still surging insect swarm, the two escort ships, under Platinum's control, sailed to the left and right, using the cannons on the sides of the ships and the turrets below the hulls to attack the ground.
With the more powerful radars mounted on the frigates, the two frigates easily searched all the suspicious areas.
Faced with the overwhelming laser beams, the two frigates only made slight maneuvers to keep the overheating rate of each mirror armor piece below 60%.
While the two frigates flew around the coast, Lorraine took control of the production center and hastily manufactured several incendiary bombs capable of short gliding.
These incendiary bombs consist of two parts: the bomb body and the power unit integrated into the glider.
The warhead inside the projectile can be divided into two parts: a thermite incendiary charge and an explosive napalm charge.
Twenty newly manufactured gliding incendiary bombs were neatly stacked near the cargo hold's stern door and installed on a temporarily modified catapult.
Then, the cargo hold tailgate below the hull slowly opened, and the robotic arm placed the incendiary bomb onto the catapult.
Under the action of the electromagnetic catapult, gliding incendiary bombs flew out one after another, and then the rudders and propellers started working, propelling the gliding bombs toward the biological warship.
Since the biological warship was completely incapacitated, the slow-moving glide missiles struck its surface smoothly.
The projectile's foremost part consists of a series of small thermite incendiary packs. When the projectile strikes the surface of the bio-warship, the impact fuse activates it, and then the high temperature generated by the thermite reaction melts a hole in the surface of the bio-warship for the incendiary projectile to enter.
Once the thermite incendiary pack has burned out, the high-energy explosive column located at the center of the projectile will explode. After detonating the napalm mixed with solid fuel, the shock generated by the explosion will scatter the napalm outwards, spreading it evenly inside the biological warship.
Seeing that the warship was motionless, Lorraine used a similar device to airdrop several small spider robots onto the surface of the biological warship.
These spider robots are equipped with different cutters or drills on their limbs, and the cut biological materials will be stored in the cargo hold under the belly of the machine.
The evacuation system for these spider robots uses a "skyhook" system.
After completing its collection mission, the spider robot will launch a helium balloon 152 meters into the air.
Then a medium-sized transport aircraft equipped with a special recovery device will hover here and use its robotic arm to connect the rope to a winch inside the fuselage.
Finally, using a winch, the spider robot below was detached from the surface of the warship.
Before the spider robot completed its collection mission, Lorraine used the information recorded in the database to develop an incendiary bomb with extremely strong adhesion and extremely high combustion temperature.
These incendiary bombs will be used for subsequent cleaning and burning of the ship's surface.
Just when Lorraine thought the battle was coming to an end, the two escort ships discovered that more enemy units had entered the battlefield.
"Commander, a cluster of silicon-based organisms has been discovered 134 kilometers from the coastline."
"Radar scans confirmed that the cluster contains 15 small war behemoths and 3 medium-sized war behemoths."
"Among them, the electromagnetic gun of the medium-sized war behemoth has a caliber of about 300 mm and is expected to fire at an altitude of 12000 to 18000 kilometers."
"600mm composite electromagnetic railgun ready."
"Roger that, begin loading ammunition."
The plasma gas generator is activated simultaneously with the ammunition loader.
When the plasma gas filled the gas chamber, the silicon-based biological cluster had already penetrated to a range of 100 kilometers.
Then, four 600mm high-explosive shells were launched, piercing directly into the silicon-based biological cluster. Cola Novels: This is where dreams begin, and where dreams come true.
The violent explosion blew away a large number of small and medium-sized individuals, but the large individuals and war behemoths were unaffected.
While waiting for the ammunition to be reloaded and for the plasma to fill the chamber, the enemy war behemoth retaliated based on the trajectory of the incoming ballistics.
Eighteen kinetic energy penetrators, each over 230 mm in diameter, hurtled towards them at Mach 7.
The point defense system mounted on the frigate did not even interfere with its trajectory in the slightest.
While the two frigates continued to evade enemy fire, the 380mm guns mounted on the lower part of the hull and the 130mm guns mounted on the sides of the hull continued to attack enemy units.
However, as the number of small and medium-sized individuals decreased, these war behemoths slowed their attack speed and used the small-caliber electromagnetic cannons they carried to intercept incoming shells.
As the flagship approached the coastline, the silicon-based biological swarm rushed into the 70-kilometer range of the two frigates, which were retreating while firing their cannons and missiles at full speed.
At this moment, Cleveland told Lorraine some good news.
The optical camouflage system has been installed.
Lorraine was overjoyed and immediately activated the optical camouflage system, instructing Xu Ling to control the warship to fly higher into the sky.
When the flagship ascended to an altitude of 26,000 meters, the frigate 2002 failed to evade and was forced to take a direct hit from a 240mm armor-piercing round.
Fortunately, it was equipped with a combination of active and passive electromagnetic armor. Dozens of steel plates ejected by the electromagnetic device effectively slowed down its flight speed, and the electromagnetic armor, which had entered a charging state, used a strong current to destroy the armor-piercing projectile.
[Electromagnetic armor unit 0345 in Sector B sustained 62.1% damage; 0.23% of the steel plate interceptors in Sector B were consumed.]
The nano-repair system has been activated and is expected to complete the repair work in 15 minutes.
Seeing this, Lorraine ordered Xu Ling to immediately stop climbing and begin adjusting the ship's attitude in preparation for firing.
Xu Ling then took control of the flagship and locked onto the three medium-sized war behemoths that were scattered below it.
After some calculations, Xu Ling found a shooting plan that would make the most of this sneak attack.
"Ready, enemy target locked."
"Fire!"
Xu Ling aimed at the enemy's largest war behemoth and pressed the red button on the control stick. Then, with a slight movement of his hands, he used the bow's steering thrusters and attitude adjustment nozzles to lock onto another war behemoth.
Xu Ling pressed the red button again, and a 600mm armor-piercing high-explosive round flew out.
At this moment, the third war behemoth had already sensed the danger in the air and raised its head to look up.
Through the high-precision optical observation device equipped on the flagship, Xu Ling could clearly see the faint light emanating from the electromagnetic cannon on its back.
Just as she was preparing to maneuver the flagship, Lorraine's order to fire was clearly transmitted to her ears through the ship's communication system.
Xu Ling gritted his teeth and controlled the ship to complete the aiming.
The moment she pressed the activation button, she activated 50% of the ship's propulsion nozzles, causing the flagship to suddenly fly diagonally forward, creating a 30-degree angle of incidence through the thickest bottom armor.
Then, Lorraine and the other two felt the flagship suddenly shake, followed by a report popping up.
【警告!舰体受损1.2%,C区0544、0545、0644、0645号电磁装甲完全损毁,C区钢板拦截物消耗量0.78%。】
[The nano-repair device has been activated and is currently patching the damaged area. Repair is expected to be completed in 23 minutes and 12 seconds.]
Immediately afterwards, a kill notification and a report popped up on Lorraine's data panel.
[Defeat 1 Medium War Beast]
[Medium-sized War Behemoth Analysis Progress - 2.3%]
