Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 243 Level 5 Flagship in Place

Upon receiving Lorraine's request, Ouyang Nian immediately began working, while Cleveland was also simulating the strength of the enemy's existing laser weapons.

After reviewing the damage report, Lorraine sent the complete design blueprints for this armor-piercing anti-ship missile to Yaoguang, instructing her to begin production of the missile.

Twenty-five minutes later, four WF-01 unmanned combat aircraft had arrived over Hongfeng Island and were entering the landing path as instructed by the air traffic control system.

Next, an improved version of the airborne command aircraft will take off from here to replace the airborne command aircraft that came from afar, and direct the subsequent swarm of unmanned combat aircraft to harass the unknown organisms in the sea.

After the four unmanned combat aircraft completed maintenance and refueling at Hongdao Airport, the four Qianlong fighter jets, which had undergone unmanned modification, were towed out of the hangar by logistics vehicles and began to be loaded with heavy armor-piercing anti-ship missiles.

[Countdown to the completion of the Level 5 flagship: 6 hours, 53 minutes, and 12 second]

Eight unmanned combat aircraft took off from the airport one after another, with four Qianlong fighter jets taking off first, carrying 12 anti-ship missiles and flying towards the area where the airborne command aircraft was located.

Four WF-01 unmanned combat aircraft followed closely behind, taking off and forming a V-formation, flying northwest at the most economical cruising speed.

[Countdown to the completion of the Level 5 flagship: 6 hours, 33 minutes, and 56 second]

The second batch of Qianlong fighter jets were in position at the airfield, with three anti-ship missiles under the fuselage gleaming. After the pre-takeoff preparations were completed, the engines started working, propelling the fighter jets forward.

The four fighter jets were arranged in pairs, staggered at the end of the runway.

[Cleared for takeoff]

As the command was given, the exhaust nozzles of the two leading fighter jets expanded, entering afterburner mode, and then began to move rapidly forward on the runway.

When the speed reaches the takeoff threshold, the robotic pilot pulls the control stick slightly backward, and the aircraft gently leaves the ground, flying into the sky at a small angle of attack.

After the two fighter jets in front left the runway, the remaining two fighter jets began to taxi on the takeoff runway.

One minute later, the four Qianlong fighter jets formed a four-aircraft formation at an altitude of 2 meters, and then began to climb and fly towards the combat area.

[Countdown to the completion of the Level 5 flagship: 6 hours, 13 minutes, and 01 second]

The third batch of Qianlong fighter jets, carrying anti-ship missiles, were parked on the taxiway, awaiting takeoff instructions from the air traffic control system.

At this time, the first batch of four Qianlong fighter jets had arrived in the designated airspace and entered their attack positions according to the instructions of the airborne command post.

This time, a single-aircraft formation and a three-aircraft formation were used to launch attacks from two different directions. However, this time the airborne command aircraft controlled the bombing interval between the two formations to 20 seconds, and the attack direction was also adjusted.

Following instructions from the airborne command aircraft, the two formations arrived at the left front and left rear of the unknown organism, respectively, and then launched their attacks according to the time recorded in the onboard computer.

The unknown organism still adopted the same strategy when facing the missile: it shifted its overall direction toward the direction of the incoming missile, preparing to use the laser cannons on its side to intercept the incoming missile.

Relying on its Mach 5.2 attack speed and unpredictable lateral maneuverability, only one missile was intercepted by the laser cannon this time, while the other two successfully hit the unknown organism after sustaining some damage.

0.8 seconds after the first batch of missiles exploded, a second wave of anti-ship missiles attacked from the left rear of the unknown organism. Readers are hotly debating: What exactly happened? Join the discussion at Cola Novels. However, due to the immense inertia from the turn, it was unable to make an effective evasive maneuver in time.

Just as it stopped spinning, eight out of the second batch of nine missiles hit it.

But just 20 minutes later, a second batch of fighter jets carrying anti-ship missiles arrived at the scene and began their attack as planned.

However, this time the attack method has changed again. A three-machine formation will launch the attack first, and then the three-machine formation will finish off the enemy.

However, only 8 anti-ship missiles hit their targets this time, and the 3 lost anti-ship missiles came from the first wave of attacks.

When the third attack echelon arrived on the scene, the air command sent a completely different operational order to the formation.

The attack will be launched simultaneously from four directions of the unknown organism, and the missile drop location will be shortened from 100 kilometers to 80 kilometers.

After receiving the order, the four fighter jets scattered, while the first jet to reach the attack location circled in place, waiting for the scheduled attack time.

Meanwhile, the first four Qianlong fighter jets that launched the attack have returned to base and are refueling and loading ammunition in the hangar.

One minute and 30 seconds later, the scheduled attack time arrived, and the four fighter jets entered the attack starting point at the same time, flying at low altitude along the attack route.

After dropping their bombs 80 kilometers from the unknown organism, the four fighter jets simultaneously performed a high-G maneuver, gaining 100 meters in altitude before turning back.

According to reports from a reconnaissance aircraft at an altitude of 10,000 meters, only 6 out of 12 anti-ship missiles hit their targets during the attack, and four laser generators were suspected to have been destroyed.

Next, Yao Guang increased the time interval between each attack batch, preparing to create the illusion of gradual weakening.

As the sun rose just below the horizon, the flagship's upgrade countdown had only two hours left.

After working through the night, Ouyang Nian successfully submitted a qualified design drawing for mirror-reflective armor to Lorraine.

During the communication, Lorraine could clearly hear the fatigue in Ouyang Nian's tone.

"You've worked hard, Ouyang Nian. Take a good rest. Leave the rest to us."

"Hmm... Phew~"

Ouyang Nian on the other end of the communication simply hummed in response before falling asleep.

At this moment, Platinum had just entered the flagship's command center.

"Bai Jin, please keep an eye on things for a while. I'll go carry Ouyang Nian back to bed and then I'll go rest for a bit."

After seeing Platinum nod in response, Lorraine yawned and left the command center, heading straight for the temporary design room on the lower level.

After carrying Ouyang Nian back to her cabin, Luo Lin returned to her own cabin with an energy paste in her mouth. After eating it, she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, two hours had passed. The flagship had just completed its upgrade, and he had been awakened by Cleveland's notification.

After a quick wash, Lorraine donned his power armor and drove an armored off-road vehicle, taking Platinum and Xu Ling with him to the shipyard where the flagship was located.

After the off-road vehicle passed the coal mine, the full view of the flagship, which is 465 meters long, 63 meters wide, and 54 meters high, came into view before the three people.

The entire flagship adopts a low-visibility paint scheme similar to that of 6th generation fighter jets, with the entire body consisting of two colors: dark gray and light gray.

When the off-road vehicle carrying the three people arrived at the bottom of the flagship, the entire flagship was conducting a self-check, and the outermost steel plate of the electromagnetic armor was slowly rising and falling under the control of the electromagnetic components.

In Bai Jin and Xu Ling's eyes, the entire flagship seemed to have come alive.
