Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 173 The Battle of Leviathan ([-])

But now, the Leviathan, which is only a "semi-finished product", has already paid a heavy price for the most powerful First Cruise Fleet in the entire Ark.

Nearly a hundred carrier-based aircraft were completely destroyed, all pilots were sacrificed, and the main artillery bombardment of the eight heavy cruisers made no achievements... The balance of victory and defeat suddenly tilted to Leviathan's side.

"Leighton, let me ask you... Do you know what the First Fleet's trump card is?" The Hound turned his head and said to Layton who was lying in front of the screen.

"... I don't know this, old dog, you don't understand, these are all military secrets, and I only know the basic information about the 'Yao' class aircraft carrier battleship. There are more than this thing since it was built. It's been 20 years, and I've already upgraded it countless times..." Layton replied with a bitter face.

"Then what do you mean, is that the flagship still hides enough cards to turn the tables?" The Hound asked again.

"There must be a trump card... But in terms of destructive power, I'm afraid it will not be much stronger than the salvo of eight 'Kaitian' plasma heavy cannons... The power of the main gun of the 'Yu' class heavy cruiser is already second only to the flagship in the fleet. The main guns are gone... and the four Shun-class secondary battleships, although the number of guns is much more than that of the cruisers, but in terms of the power of the main guns alone, they are slightly inferior." Layton said, wringing his fingers , "To deal with Leviathan's shield, the entire fleet can directly pour artillery fire on this big guy at the same time. As long as the recovery speed of the shield cannot keep up with the speed of consumption, then there is a chance to damage Leviathan's body ..."

"But there is only one chance." Ke Lan gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, this is tantamount to being 'all in' directly. If you fail to break through Leviathan's shield, it means that it is impossible to cause any effective damage to it with the firepower of the First Fleet alone...Moreover, Even if the damage to the shields caused by the whole ship's fire can outweigh the recovery of the shields, the fleet must face the next two problems." Layton raised his mechanical hand, and revealed two iron-gray metal fingers.

"Which two questions?" Although the Hound used to be a senior officer of the field force, he belonged to the army, and most of the tasks he performed were ground annihilation warfare, and he knew little about the fleet.Although Layton was also from the army, due to his interest, he taught himself all the teaching courses for fleet commanders from elementary to intermediate levels. As for the advanced part, he had no chance to get in touch with it because of insufficient authority.

"The first question is the fleet's energy and ammunition reserves—even if the fleet's firepower can continue to weaken the strength of the shield, it does not mean that the shield can be broken immediately after exceeding that threshold, but the shield must be gradually reduced. The strength of the shield is suppressed until the energy conversion mechanism of the shield can't turn over, and the shield can be regarded as successfully penetrated. The second problem is that after the shield is penetrated, it is reserved for the fleet to attack Levy The window time of the tank body is probably only a few seconds. If it fails to destroy its shield generating mechanism or cause fatal damage to it within these few seconds, Leviathan's energy shield will be completely restored... ...This also means that all the firepower poured out before is tantamount to doing useless work."

"Just a few seconds..." The hound pursed his lips tightly, staring worriedly at Leviathan's huge body on the screen.

"Moreover... the fleet must also beware of Leviathan's counterattack... This guy is not a meat target. Just now the first wave of fighter formations were completely wiped out, which means that it is... stupid!" Layton was halfway through speaking, and his mouth Suddenly the word "grass" popped up!

Not only him, but everyone else also showed horrified expressions after seeing what happened on the screen!

Hundreds... no, thousands of "fighters" rose from the back of Leviathan. "Crow Class" and "Night Owl Class" are almost exactly the same, and the only difference is that these "fighters" are all crimson, and the material is closer to some kind of biological body...there are even some tendons on the surface of the body. Membranes and blood vessels are the same structure...

These "fighters" are also formed by those crimson flesh worms... They analyzed the structure of the fighter jets that landed on Leviathan's back, and perfectly imitated them!

"Gudong." A clear swallowing sound came from Layton's throat, his body trembled, and even the parts of the mechanical prosthetic body kept making clanking noises. After several seconds, he finally A sentence came out of his mouth: "If there are battleships shot down...they...can they also transform into a battleship?"

Hearing what Layton said, everyone else fell silent... If the First Fleet is killed, will they have to face ten...or even more when they attack Leviathan next time? The "First Fleet" that was "copied"?
Based on the volume of Leviathan, this consumption is probably just a drop in the bucket...

"There are also things flying out from the fleet...it seems to be...four humanoid mechas?" Ivan shouted softly.

However, what he said was not completely accurate. Although the four mechas had humanoid arms and legs, the torso of the main part was a streamlined cockpit that was very similar to a fighter jet, and there were mechanisms on both sides for storing limbs. See The appearance should be free to switch between humanoid form and fighter form.

On the back of the mech is also mounted a rocket propulsor that is larger than the main body, and a blue tail flame hundreds of meters long is drawn from the nozzle of the propeller. From a distance, it looks like a rocket. Meteor across the sky.

"The second and fourth-style 'Guardian' mecha was proposed in 924 of the New Era, and it took 944 years to complete a transformable mecha until 20...but I always thought that this thing was only a concept machine, I didn't expect them to put this thing into actual combat..." Layton murmured, but soon, as if he had discovered something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted loudly, "I'm not mistaken Right? The number of the captain's plane... is 'Zhai-167'?!"

"It seems right." The hound gave him a strange look and nodded.

"It's a house god, it's actually a house god! The pilot in that 'Guardian' mecha is a house god!" Layton's current appearance seems to be that kind of crazy groupie, although the ark on the ark The entertainment industry is far less developed than the old era, but the fanaticism of the star fans is completely comparable to that of the old era.

"House God? Who is it?" Zhuo Ligetu looked at Layton blankly and asked.

"The ace pilot ranked No. 11 in the Ark, Masayuki Takumi! He has served for 68 years and participated in [-] battles, big and small. Haven't been hit...note, I said hit, not knocked down!"

"I've heard of this guy in the army. At first I thought it was the people from the air force. Seeing what you said, this guy's driving skills are really good?" said the hound.

"I don't know how Yazhi's skills are in reality," Ke Lan said suddenly, "but in a game called "Ace Combat 19: Mech Warfare", the record for a single kill on Nightmare difficulty No.1 to No.9 are all created by him..."

【PSAll in=showhand, a poker term, the Chinese name is "Stuha", which means betting all the chips in your hand at once. 】

[The battle between the PPS Fleet and Leviathan was inspired by an old series "Knights of Sidonia", and the supporting role "House God" Masayuki Tami who appeared in this chapter is also a part of Knights of Sidonia The name is "Legendary Character", and the body number is "Zhai-167". In a sense, its degree of defying the sky is no less than that of the protagonist. Interested friends can search for this episode. There are a total of one or two seasons. It's one of my favorite battleships. 】

[PPPS is not feeling well, I will update one chapter today, and the remaining chapter will be added during the day. 】
