Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

This isn't a no-go, it's a recommendation for the gem of a book, "Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet":

Using the sonar buoy, Lorraine discovered that the two torpedoes had not caused much damage to it, only slightly affecting the movement speed of this overlord.

【Countdown: 0:34:25】

"The target is fleeing westward. Unmanned combat vessels numbered one to nine, each launch an anti-submarine missile—fire!"

Then nine more streaks of fire shot into the sky.

【Countdown: 0:33:23】

Based on the sonar buoy's detection, Lorraine discovered that this overlord reached a speed of 63 knots instantaneously while dodging heavy torpedoes.

This maneuver also allowed it to escape the blast radius of all heavy torpedoes.

In order to drive them to the designated sea area, Lorraine issued the order to attack the unmanned torpedo boats Strike 1 through Strike 6.

【Countdown: 0:33:00】

The six unmanned torpedo boats that received the order set off simultaneously, but at different speeds.

Following the route planned by Cleveland, the six unmanned torpedo boats continuously dropped 300mm depth charges on the north, south, and east sides of the Overlord.

To ensure sustained firepower, the six unmanned torpedo boats left trails of water on the sea surface that resembled springs.

【Countdown: 0:30:00】

These six unmanned torpedo boats successfully drove the overlord 4 kilometers westward, but by then all of their depth charges had been used up.

To ensure the torpedo boat continued its westward movement, before other unmanned combat vessels could take over the task of driving it away, the six torpedo boats launched 12 heavy torpedoes at the torpedo boat before withdrawing.

However, the speed of these 12 heavy torpedoes was set at 30 knots, which is exactly the same as the Overlord's current movement speed.

【Countdown: 0:29:00】

The unmanned torpedo boats Strike 1 through Strike 6 withdrew from the battlefield in an orderly manner, while unmanned combat boats numbered one through nine formed three groups, maintaining a speed of 32 knots, and sailed around the hegemon.

Whenever they detect a shift in the position of the overlord or a slowdown in its movement, an unmanned combat vessel will launch a heavy torpedo traveling at full speed at it.

【Countdown: 0:25:00】

The seventh heavy torpedo exploded beside the Overlord, who, annoyed by the constant harassment, began to rise, preparing to swat all the buzzing "greenhead flies".

【Countdown: 0:24:20】

As soon as the overlords reached a depth of 200 meters, each of the unmanned combat boats launched a self-propelled underwater acoustic decoy to each of its left and right sides, and then scattered and fled in a chaotic yet orderly formation.

The Peregrine-20F anti-submarine helicopter, which was on standby at the stern of DDG-1, took off and flew toward the direction of the hegemon.

【Countdown: 0:24:00】

During their escape, these unmanned combat boats did not forget to cause some trouble for the overlord.

Huge sprays of water erupted from the stern of the unmanned combat vessel as a total of 11 heavy torpedoes hurtled toward the Overlord.

Among them, the unmanned combat boat that fled to the western sea area only dropped three heavy torpedoes.

Relying on instinct, the overlord, after withstanding a heavy torpedo, decisively fled to the western sea area.

【Countdown: 0:23:42】

The Overlord's route of action was not much different from the plan. The Peregrine-20F anti-submarine helicopter descended to an altitude of 30 meters and jettisoned the towed sonar mounted under the fuselage.

((((Na))))

【Countdown: 0:22:35】

At this moment, the overlord had already arrived within the blast radius of the first group of smart torpedoes in the western sea area.

【Countdown: 0:21:30】

Five seconds later, the Overlord, with its superior physical abilities and extremely fast reaction speed, managed to break out of the blast radius of one of the smart torpedoes, but the countdown for its separation was also significantly reduced.

In order to put more pressure on the hegemon, Lorraine ordered the four unmanned torpedo boats that were waiting in this area to enter the battlefield.

"Assault Units 7-10 are ready to enter the battlefield and fire freely."

【Countdown: 0:21:00】

Four torpedo boats stormed in from the north and south sides of the area, launching a fierce attack on this dominant force from four directions.

[Countdown to daughter body separation: 0:15:00]

Within one minute, a total of 24 depth charges and 16 heavy torpedoes were launched by the torpedo boat.

While dodging the torpedo, this overlord once again entered the kill range of a smart torpedo.

Based on images transmitted by the anti-submarine drone, Lorraine could clearly see the increasingly distinct outline of the sub-body of the Overlord's abdomen.

[Countdown to daughter body separation: 0:15:30]

Two Peregrine-20F anti-submarine helicopters, which were on standby at the sterns of DDG-2 and DDG-3, took off, ready to deploy towed sonar to accurately locate this dominant predator.

[Countdown to daughter body separation: 0:14:00]

Three Peregrine-20F anti-submarine helicopters, each equipped with a towed sonar, form a large triangle. Based on the information transmitted back by the three sonars, Lorraine can now know the exact location of the Overlord in real time.

Then, Lorraine opened the intelligence system and glanced at the countdown for the separated sub-body displayed on it.

"Um!!!"

At this moment, the intelligence system indicated that the remaining time for the separated sub-units was rapidly decreasing.

[Countdown to daughter body separation: 0:10:00]

According to the sonar transmitted from the bow of DDG-1, Lorraine discovered that this overlord was trying to create a raging waterspout.

"Judging from this, it seems to be trying to influence the torpedo's trajectory in this way."

[Countdown to daughter body separation: 0:8:00]

Because Lorraine needed to stay in front of the holographic sand table and keep a close eye on the Overlord's movements, Platinum quickly input the Overlord's biometric information into the anti-submarine missile carried by the flagship.

[Countdown to daughter body separation: 0:5:00]

With Lorraine's command, a total of 16 anti-submarine missiles were launched from the flagship's foredeck, trailing dazzling flashes of fire as they flew toward the Overlord, whose sub-submarines were about to separate.

[Countdown to daughter body separation: 0:0:00]

The overlord had just forcibly separated its daughter car, but it was met with 16 heavy torpedoes hurtling towards it at a speed of 86 knots.

[Operation Time: 0:40:05]

DDG-1号舰、DDG-2号舰、DDG-3号舰一共发射了48枚反潜飞弹，16~21号无人作战艇则是发射了他们携带的全部反潜飞弹。

[Operation Time: 0:41:35]

Faced with 72 high-speed heavy torpedoes, this overlord transformed its grief over the premature death of its daughter into a surge of rage.

Driven by extreme rage, this overlord unleashed power far exceeding its usual limits.

[Operation Time: 0:43:00]

With a short burst of speed of 80 knots, this overlord dodged all the incoming heavy torpedoes and then charged toward the unmanned combat boats No. 16-21 that were speeding toward it.

[Operation Time: 0:44:00]

After discovering that this dominant creature was charging towards unmanned combat vessels 16-21, unmanned combat vessels 1-9 launched their remaining two anti-submarine missiles to delay the creature's advance as much as possible.
