Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 172 The Battle of Leviathan ([-])

The flagship has sent a signal to all the fighters to leave the battlefield, but at this time, they have been unable to withdraw: after Leviathan launched a large-scale optical network attack, it changed its attack mode again—— It greatly reduced the power of single-shot shelling. The original beam of light, which was several meters in diameter, turned into a beam as thin as a steel wire, but the frequency of firing was greatly increased. For a time, a barrage of bullets from bottom to top covered the It swallowed up the entire airspace and swallowed all the fighters in it!
The first batch of fighter formations are all wiped out!
"These fighter jets are all 'Raven-class' and 'Night Owl-class'. They are not equipped with energy shield generators, and the fuselages are all made of lightweight structures. Even if the power of the beam is weakened to only one ten thousandth, they Even the armor can't handle it." Layton shook his head heavily.

The supercomputer on the flagship has analyzed the intensity of the two attacks just now. If the power unit of each "beam bomb" in the subsequent barrage attack is counted as "1", then the previous one needs to be charged for several seconds. The power of the crimson beam of light that can only be emitted is between "9800" and "11000", and the only one that can directly counteract this beam of light is the large energy shield equipped by the flagship of the fleet. Hold on for a while, and soon the shield will collapse because the energy conversion speed cannot keep up with the consumption, and then you will be shot down.

"The fleet has stopped!" Everyone only felt for a moment that this "Bronze Hammer" class autonomous supply ship, like all other ships, was hovering in the air.

"It should be because you don't want the fleet to cause too many losses, so you are going to carry out long-range strikes at this distance?" Ke Lan said.

"Well." Layton nodded, "If you fire the main cannon directly at Leviathan from this distance, the energy loss on the way is almost negligible, and there is no need to risk being shot down."

As Layton analyzed, the eight "Yu" class heavy cruisers lined up, and the main guns began to charge at the same time, and the target was exactly where the original Mitsui consortium base was located.

"The main gun 'Kaitian' of the 'Yu' class heavy cruiser is considered to be in the top five of the main guns of all the warships in the Ark. If eight guns are fired at the same time, even a monster like Leviathan will be killed. It pierced through in an instant!" Layton waved his fist vigorously, "Let this beast taste our strength!"

"But... don't forget, this thing has a shield." Ke Lan's expression was not optimistic, "We don't know what its shield generating mechanism is like, and what is its transformation efficiency...assuming its transformation efficiency can If it exceeds the charging efficiency of the eight gates of 'Opening the Sky', this attack alone may not be able to break through the defense."

The two most important indicators for energy shields are shield strength and energy conversion efficiency. The former tests the material strength of the shield generator. As long as the shield generator's tolerance limit is not reached, the strength of the energy shield can be unlimited. promote.The latter needs to rely on the power of the conversion device, the greater the power, the more energy provided to the shield generator per unit time.

Ke Lan never thought about the issue of energy storage from the very beginning—the energy crystals are everywhere in Leviathan's body, and after decades of digging by human beings, there is no sign of exhaustion of its reserves... Moreover, this is still so It is a mine located on the shallow surface. As for what lies deeper in Leviathan's body, no one has ever been able to know.

However, judging from the information currently available, at least the existence of ultra-purity crystals has been confirmed. If Leviathan uses this thing as an energy source, then its "endurance" is almost unlimited. Fighting a war of attrition with it is purely playing tricks on the class.

"Om-"

Accompanied by a low, beeping sound, the main guns of the eight "Yu" heavy cruisers fired at the same time, and eight beams of blue-blue light with electric light shot out quickly!

This beam of light is not a laser, but a plasma confined by a high-intensity magnetic field. Sexual consumables... Speaking of the gun barrel, in fact, the nature of this thing is closer to an "ablative" armor armor, which is used to protect the main body of the battleship firing the plasma cannon from plasma damage.

Eight beams of plasma beams bombarded the rising energy shield solidly, and the plasma splashed all over for a while, even Ke Lan and the others’ screens had a large snowflake-like interference, and then it directly became black screen.

"This power is too great... Even the drones used to monitor the battlefield and transmit video signals have been affected. That thing must be at least several kilometers away from the strike point!" Layton murmured, " I just don't know how the impact will be..."

Almost half a minute later, the real-time picture in front was transmitted again. However, what surprised Layton was that the energy shield on the surface of Leviathan was unscathed, and even the fluctuations that would occur when the subsequent energy supply was insufficient Neither situation occurred.

This means that Leviathan's shield still has enough power to face an attack of this intensity...

What makes the fleet even more troublesome is that no one knows what proportion of the "surplus power" it still has.

If the attack just now reached one-third of the shield limit or even lower, then there is no need to continue this battle, because even if all the weapons of the entire fleet fire at the same time, there is no way to break through it. Leviathan's shield.

"How is this possible... This guy's shield... is actually stronger than the 'Alpha Shield' carried on the flagship of the fleet? How is this possible?!" Layton seemed to have received a major blow, and the whole person was shocked. Become a little taken aback.

Ke Lan has heard about the "Alpha Shield" mentioned by Layton. It is said that this large shield generator was excavated from an A-level ruins. After imagining the price, he was able to enter the control center of the ruins from a secret passage full of traps, cutting off the energy supply of the shield.

"This is just the Leviathan that hasn't been fully resurrected..." Ivan sat on the seat, and the newly replaced mechanical prosthetic limb pinched the armrest of the seat without realizing it, "I can't believe it, If this giant beast is really resurrected, what will it look like..."

"..." Ke Lan didn't answer, but he knew that the Leviathan in this state is definitely not the same creature as the Leviathan it used to be. Crimson flesh worms in any form—all of these are the handiwork of the Alpha civilization. They are trying to use this method to create a brand new biological weapon based on the remains of the previous generation of Leviathan...

[PS The side effects of chemotherapy reappeared today... Ten fingers are completely numb... I can't even type on the keyboard. I have only finished two chapters now. I am very sorry... I can only use the second full attendance leave slip this month. It's gone... In addition, I may have to take a leave of absence in a few days. It has been half a year since the end of treatment, and I have to go for the second bone biopsy review. 】
