Chapter 1106 Emergency Landing Operation (2)

"Radar keeps tracking, enemy high-speed destroyer enters visual range."

"So they are finally chasing me..."

All the ships were temporarily unable to move due to problems with the reactors, and the Swan then used a pulse flight to accelerate its escape, which was indeed very conspicuous.

In the viewfinder, two high-speed destroyers passed through the smoke screen thrown by the Swan, but it was impossible to tell whether the rockets had any effect. All we could say was that it was better to have fired than not.

At this moment, Alyssa clearly saw the high-speed destroyer's main gun turret rotate and aim at the Swan.

"Keep throwing the smoke screen!"

Heavy aluminum canisters were ejected from behind the Swan, and almost at the same time as the smoke screen was formed, two triple-mounted ion beams pierced through the smoke wall, almost with a stroke of the gun.

"Lower height!"

The Swan took the opportunity to adjust its flight attitude and continued to descend.

At this time, Cygnus has been captured by the gravity of the planet, which is equivalent to being in a synchronous orbit.

At this time, the two high-speed destroyers also drilled through the smoke screen again. The main guns should still be charging, and this time it was the physical secondary guns that opened fire.

But under the influence of gravity, the trajectory of the secondary gun shells began to obviously move in an arc.

The warships' physical shells are basically smoothbore guns, but the shells are not fin-stabilized armor-piercing discarding sabot shells. After all, there is no need to do so. In the void environment, there is no gravity, so the shells will not move in an arc.

But when fighting in orbit close to a planet, the physical shells are affected by gravity, which is really a disaster.

In addition, although it has entered the visual range, this visual distance is what can be seen through the viewfinder, which does not mean that it can be seen with the naked eye. The longer the distance, the more serious the reduction in kinetic energy of the shells due to the influence of gravity. The shells fired basically fall into the atmosphere and burn up quickly.

Alyssa stared at the two high-speed destroyers that were chasing and firing from behind, and continued to give orders:

"Keep throwing the smoke screen."

If you use a smoke generator to draw smoke, it will be too conspicuous. Throwing a smoke screen can block the opponent's line of sight while trying not to be too conspicuous.

The Swan was already very fast, and it would take time for the high-speed destroyers to catch up with it. Releasing smoke screens several times in a row greatly interfered with the high-speed destroyers' shooting from behind, and also made it difficult for their onboard computers to accurately calculate the trajectory.

But this seems to be just a way to delay time. Is there any practical significance?

Delaying time is the practical meaning.

During this time, the Swan continued to descend in altitude while gravity navigating, and it had reached a level where it could see the details of the clouds on the planet very clearly.

At this time, the Swan had reached the exosphere, which is the outermost part of the atmosphere adjacent to the void space.

This is an extremely dangerous height for a warship.

High-speed destroyers do not have the ability to fly within the atmosphere. If they continue to approach, they will most likely be pulled down by the gravity of the planet.

Moreover, pulse flight and jump cannot be activated in the atmosphere, and it can only navigate using conventional power. If there is no time to escape, it will directly turn into a meteorite and fall into the atmosphere and burn.

The two high-speed destroyers were also very aware of this. Seeing that the Swan continued to descend in altitude, they could only fire a few more shots unwillingly and quickly speed up to escape the planet's gravity.

"Confirm that the high-speed destroyer has moved away."

An Yun's words made everyone on the bridge breathe a sigh of relief, but before they could breathe out, An Yun immediately said:

"New ship signals detected, the number is over twenty!"

Alyssa immediately turned the viewfinder, which allowed her to see that on the starboard side of the Swan, an empty area suddenly twisted, and then more than 20 ships appeared.

These ships are of uniform model, and most importantly, they are all painted with the emblem of the Red Maple Republic.

"It's actually an assault landing ship!" This side of the star gate is different from the other side. There is a habitable planet on this side.

To capture the other side, one only needs to wipe out the garrison troops, but to capture this side, one must consider the issue of habitable planets.

A planet that had long been colonized and transformed, with a population of at least several billion.

What's more, there are a large number of factories, military facilities and other extremely valuable targets on it, and we cannot ignore it.

A habitable planet is like a solid fortress in this galaxy. If you don’t take it, you won’t be able to truly control the star gate.

That's why the assault landing ship was prepared long ago.

These ships designed to break into the atmosphere were not here to capture the Swan. They were loaded with a large number of soldiers, weapons, ammunition, vehicles and other supplies, roughly similar to landing craft for beach landings.

It's just that they appeared in the planet's low-Earth orbit and collided head-on with the Cygnus.

Then these guys opened fire without hesitation.

The assault landing ship is also equipped with supporting firepower. Compared with real battleships, it is definitely weaker, but the number is there, and the Swan’s shield is not known for its strength.

Beige beams of light covered the Swan, most of them missed the target, but quite a few hit the target successfully.

The alarm sounding for the shield's reduced energy was incessant. If it continued like this, not only would the Swan be destroyed, but rushing directly into the atmosphere without a shield would also be courting death.

"Increase engine power, emergency evasion!"

The Swan, which was about to enter the atmosphere, had to accelerate again due to fire interference in order to gain a speed that would allow it to maneuver flexibly.

"Found it! Follow the route I set"

A bright glowing spot could be seen in front of the route set by Alyssa. Not long after, this bright glowing spot successfully entered everyone's field of vision.

That is an orbital space station, or it would be more appropriate to call it a spaceport.

It is impossible for a cargo ship to carry cargo directly to a habitable planet. All habitable planets have spaceports to receive and transfer cargo.

This thing is smaller than an average space station, but it is also equipped with a considerable degree of self-defense firepower.

Villania immediately sent an identification code, and several ion beams came from the direction of the spaceport, successfully destroying an assault landing ship that was chasing the Swan.

After all, this thing is just a super-large troop carrier and it can't engage in combat with a space station like a real battleship.

But don't count on the spaceport being safe. They've also been attacked, and they've already done the most they can by firing a few shots to help.

"Now is the time to descend!"

Swan readjusted its attitude for reentry into the atmosphere and descended rapidly.

The bottom of the ship touched the atmosphere, but perhaps due to the interference from the attack just now, its posture could not be adjusted properly, causing the Swan to jump forward in the atmosphere like a stone skipping stone.

"Steady the ship!"

If the Swan enters the atmosphere in the wrong posture, it may crash headfirst. Alyssa immediately connected the communication in the engine room:

"Send all your energy to attitude control, quick!"

The redistribution of energy caused the Swan's engine light to gradually dim, while the light from the attitude control nozzle became stronger.

After completely entering the atmosphere, the attitude control nozzles were no longer very effective, but fortunately, it has not yet completely entered the atmosphere, and with the attitude control nozzles working at full capacity, the Swan's attitude was gradually corrected.

At this time, the Swan was almost drifting all the way to the bottom of the space station. Several warships of the Red Maple Republic were besieging the spaceport from a safe range. I hope they didn't notice that the Swan was drifting by.
