Chapter 1128 High-Speed ​​Evacuation Operation (1)

Li Chengxi actually doesn't like using missiles. After all, in a world without missiles, it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

But even if we don't like to use it, we still have to have it. It would be painful if we can't use it when we really need it.

Alyssa glanced through the viewfinder at the sky dyed red by the explosion. She no longer had the energy to be surprised. After all, ever since she met Li Chengxi, there had been too many things that had torn her worldview apart.

Propelled by its booster rockets, the Swan flew higher and higher, but its floatation engine could not lift the Swan upright, so unlike conventional rockets that rise vertically into the sky, the Swan rose diagonally into the sky.

As the decision speed was exceeded, the shock waves at the front of the Swan's solid ram gradually overlapped and eventually turned into a heat barrier emitting a strong red light. The intense air friction caused the bridge to automatically turn on the light-shielding mode to protect the eyes of the crew members.

At this speed, aircraft within the atmosphere could no longer catch up, and as the vibrations in the bridge gradually decreased, the red flashes caused by air friction also began to slowly decrease, the sky gradually became thinner, and it successfully reached the edge of the atmosphere.

"Reach the turning point in ten seconds."

"Shut down the booster rockets."

The rocket engine gradually shut down, and the Swan now relied on the main engine and inertia to maintain its flying speed and began to adjust its flight attitude.

"The posture has been adjusted."

"Turning point passed."

"Circularized orbit."

"Understood, circular orbit."

Although it has now broken through the atmosphere and returned to the microgravity environment in the bridge, the Swan has not yet escaped the constraints of the planet's gravity.

Now the flight trajectory of Swan is actually a parabola. It will fly a circle and then fall back to the planet.

This is when the orbit needs to be circularized.

Similar to how artificial satellites do not fall from the sky, accelerating in a specific direction at the gravity turning point can turn a parabola into a circle surrounding the planet.

This is low-Earth orbit, and this is how everything from artificial satellites to space stations enter orbit.

The booster rocket had run out of fuel, and after continuing to burn for about thirty seconds, it completely shut down. Accompanied by a slight explosion, the booster rocket was discarded, and the orbit continued to be circularized relying on the power of the Cygnus.

It is expected that the orbit will be circularized in five minutes, at which time we will be able to use gravity navigation or directly start pulse flight to escape from the constraints of this planet.

This is also the reason why Alyssa doesn’t like going to the planet. It is too troublesome to break away from the constraints of gravity.

"The shadow of a ship appeared on the radar, right in front of our route, and within visual range."

After hearing An Yun's report, Alyssa called up the viewfinder and soon saw a 'big basket' floating in low-Earth orbit.

That is actually an orbital bomber. Its appearance is different from that of ordinary warships. It looks like an inverted basket. A bomb in the shape of a "javelin" is hung under the basket. When bombing is needed, all it needs to do is launch the javelin.

This kind of ship that is extremely specialized in a certain function is actually very fragile. Considering the working environment of the orbital bombardment ship, there will be several light cruisers guarding nearby.

This is because a light cruiser is flexible enough that a larger ship might be pulled down by the planet's gravity and eventually burn up in the atmosphere.

The Swan's radar detected the target in orbit, and the enemy must have also detected the Swan.

About three light cruisers emerged from the black cosmic background, clearly entering combat mode.

Alyssa didn't want to get entangled with them, but these guys happened to be blocking the route. The Swan was now at a critical moment in circular orbit and could not turn at will.

Then we can only charge forward.

Just as she was about to declare combat status, Alyssa suddenly remembered that there were still many civilians on the ship this time, so she picked up the microphone:
"This is Captain Alyssa of the Swan. Our ship is about to enter combat status. Shut down all unnecessary energy supplies." This felt a bit like a pilot flying a plane. Then the lights in the bridge of the Swan turned red, all anti-aircraft guns were pushed out of their positions by hydraulic presses, and began running self-inspection procedures.

Soldiers who had received artillery training also ran to the anti-aircraft artillery control room and sat in their gun positions, ready to take orders at any time.

"Main gun charging."

"Understood, main gun begins charging."

The Swan's sturdy ram opened up and down, revealing a huge black muzzle, and arcs of electricity began to gather.

Then, the main gun aimed at the orbital bomber and fired a test shot.

Because it is in low-Earth orbit, even the ion beam will be slightly bent by gravity, especially when firing at long distances. It can be said that the more accurate the aim, the more crooked the shot.

A test shot from the main gun flew under the orbital bombardier and missed the target at all.

The good news is that the enemy's counterattack shells were similar.

But the Swan has one advantage: its onboard computer is the most advanced model.

This is one of the many devices that the royalists replaced on the Swan. I heard that due to the high manufacturing cost, it will be difficult to put it into practical use in at least the next ten years.

Generally, the ship's onboard computer will recalculate the trajectory after a test shot is fired, and then make fine adjustments based on the experience of the gunnery officer.

There is nothing wrong with this mode, but general shipboard computers will not consider the impact of other factors.

Take gravity, for example.

So you can see that the three light cruisers fired back several times, but still couldn't even touch the Swan, even though the Swan didn't change its course at all.

On the other hand, the Swan's onboard computer also takes into account the parameters of gravity's impact on trajectory into its calculations, so one test shot is enough to calibrate all shooting parameters.

As the Swan's main gun was recharged, a huge spear-shaped light beam accurately hit one side of the orbital bombardment ship. The opponent's ship, which looked like an inverted basket or a brush, was not suitable for head-on confrontation. The shield flashed only for a moment and was then penetrated by the light spear cannon. The entire ship broke into two within a dozen seconds and fell into the atmosphere.

The remaining three light cruisers did not expect the Swan to be able to shoot so accurately, nor did they expect that the power of the lance cannon was far beyond that of ordinary light cruisers. As the Swan was approaching rapidly, they did not bother to recalibrate the shooting parameters on the shipboard computer, and relied entirely on the experience of the gunnery chief for fire coverage.

This operation seems reckless, but it is actually correct. If it is carried out according to the combat manual, I am afraid they will be named one by one by the Swan and become space garbage.

Beams of light flew past the edge of the Swan, but there were also shells and ion beams landing on the front of the Swan. For a moment, the flash of the shield and the flash of the ion beams or shell explosions made it almost impossible to observe the outside through the glass of the bridge with the naked eye.

However, the optical aiming system was not affected by this, and Long continued to fire back calmly.

This is a direct confrontation. There is no such thing as tactics. It's a test of technique and courage.

The fragments of the shells would penetrate the shield and hit the armor plate like raindrops, and the bridge would always be filled with a rattling sound like a rainstorm.

Alyssa stared at the screen displaying the Swan's ship data. The shield energy was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And at this time, good news came.

"Orbit circularization complete."

"Start pulse flight!"

"Understood, pulse flight preparation"

The engine at the tail of the Swan began to flash violently, and the engine light began to become intermittent. Three seconds later, the more than 300-meter-long Swan seemed to be stretched into a thin line and immediately disappeared from low-Earth orbit.
