An Unscientific Mechanic

"What's the situation of the Jetradi's main fleet now?" Ian wandered to the central CIC, where a large group of staff were analyzing the intelligence.

"The large-scale fleet identified as the Vanguard Fleet is still gathering on the outskirts of the galaxy, and the existence of the general flagship cannot be confirmed for the time being."

"Each battle group launched a guerrilla operation in its own defense zone to prevent the Jetra Emperor's fleet from collecting intelligence on the deployment of our fleet."

"In addition, there is information that a small-scale Jetradi fleet is equipped with a F OLD fault neutralization device, which once neutralized the artificial FOLD fault and entered the inside of the battle line."

"However, because it just entered the minefield and was blown to ashes by the reactive warhead carried by the mine, it is not possible to determine whether the FOLD fault that was neutralized at the scene died naturally or was neutralized artificially."

"Now the Ministry of Technology and the LAI Agency have dispatched a survey fleet to investigate."

"In addition, Ms. Sabel, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, believes that after the end of this war, the new unified government is likely to have serious social problems."

"The Social Science Research Office of the Ministry of Technology came to the same conclusion. In order to continue in this war, the New United Army gave up too much integrity."

"The most poignant of these is the large number of clone troopers that exist in various units now.

It is different from that during the great voyage period, when the genes of both men and women were randomly searched from the gene bank for matching, and the embryo cultivation in the artificial uterus was different from the somatic cell cloning that did not involve memory operations.

Now the New Consolidated Army has cloned a large number of rapid clones with complete Primarch memory. After the war, whether these ace pilots or soldier kings, I am afraid that there will be quite serious consequences. "

"So what now?" Ian slid over a series of materials that challenged the lower limit. Although I have read the information given by the intelligence department, it is still shocking to look at this matter from another perspective of other departments.

"Now they are forcibly ignoring the huge risks in the middle with their enthusiasm for defending their homes and the country. Everyone has been told about their identities and the fact that they only have a lifespan of five years..."

"I already know this, and there is no need to report again for the time being." Ian interrupted the words of the technical staff of the technical department.

"Then, the new unified government doesn't have too much to pay attention to, and most of the remaining intelligence is about the guarantee of the next battle.

The first is our army.

Half of the logistics support regiment of the Consolidation Department has been mobilized, and a large amount of military supplies and reproduction resources have been hoarded in this galaxy. According to the battle data of our guerrilla fleet, the "Active Diplomacy" battle group of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Jetra Emperors, the existing materials are enough for our continuous fighting for one month. "

"The various types of space-anchored combat platforms carried by our side are temporarily parked at the dedicated parking positions of the major planetary fortresses, and they will be deployed after the enemy's attack direction is determined."

"Regarding the consciousness upload of our army's combatants after they died in battle, because too many weapons related to space tearing and space devouring have been applied on the battlefield, conventional signal lines and even communications including quantum wave communications will become unstable. Previous Soon the technology department will launch the newly developed imaginary number circuit signal transmission system, which will form a trinity consciousness uploading signal system together with the quantum communication system and the subspace communication system.

In addition, conventional communication lines will also assist in uploading consciousness. For example, the laser communication system that is connected to nearby own units all the time. In the battleship of the battle group.

If all the above systems fail, it will be stored in the local short-term consciousness storage device first, if there is no consciousness storage device available locally. Then you can only upload your consciousness directly to the subspace. If you are lucky, you will be salvaged after the battle. If you are less lucky, you will drift to the brother units in the subspace. If luck is too bad, it can only be swallowed by the subspace. "

"In addition, because there are a large number of volunteers in this battle, a non-brain-inserted consciousness uploading device has also been developed, and its reliability is not as reliable as that installed by our army. After all, it is impossible to directly bind consciousness, only to recognize the characteristics of consciousness to forcibly upload.

However, even so, the casualty rate of volunteer troops should drop to a very low point. After all, most volunteer troops will not be arranged on the frontal battlefield. "

"..."

While browsing the public information in VEDA, while listening to the military report in the central CIC, the afternoon passed like this.

Wait, let's catch up on the homework that I missed in the last month. Ian returned to the viewing platform of the Enterprise, grabbed a coconut from the bar, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, brought a plate of watermelon, and poured himself a glass of whiskey. Coke, walked to the panoramic window, dragged a recliner and a coffee table, lay on the chair and counted the fleet while thinking about life.

Then, Ian's eyes fixed on the battleship group moored near Queen Star below.

I always feel that something is wrong.

Why are those new BATTLE ships so big?

Ian gestured repeatedly with his little finger up, and even the retinal HUD in his eyes showed that those Macross were at least half the size of the others.

Then, after retrieving information from VEDA, it was discovered that this is a close combat battleship upgraded by the New United Army based on the new BATTLE class, with enhanced firepower, armor, shields and power, a 1.5-level MACROSS.

The name is inherited from the concise and easy-to-understand quarter-level (QUARTER) MACROSS, because the new type of Macross is really 1.5 times the length of the new BATTLE level, although strictly speaking, except for the first ship of level 1.5, it is a real point Five times the new BATTLE class, which is about 2500 meters, and other follow-up ships have been enlarged to about 2800 meters.

The hands have changed from the original aviation arm module to something more like SDF-1, which are directly two improved and upgraded Uraga-class large aircraft carriers.

In addition, a rapid-fire quantum reaction cannon is integrated under each Uraga special modification.

The Uraga-class special modification specially strengthens the BEAM PIONT BARRIER, which can form a giant beam saber with a length of up to 40 kilometers in front of the two Uraga special modifications.

For the first time, the 1.5-level MACROSS is also equipped with a total of 120 triple-mounted heavy-duty ship-to-ship beam cannons, and the power and rate of fire of these turrets have also been upgraded. From the perspective of the shelling capability of conventional heavy naval guns alone, the shelling capability of this level 1.5 is about 6 times that of the new BATTLE level.

The sole purpose of the twelve 1.5-level MACROSS ships assigned by the New United Army to the Queen Star is to cover the elite commando team from breaking into the center of the enemy's formation and beheading the supreme commander of the Jetrati base fleet.

By the way, this configuration is similar to the arming idea of ​​the escort battleship directly under the Enterprise this time.

This time, the battleship group escorting the Enterprise also replaced the original high-power weapons with high charging time, such as triple-mounted three-barreled wave gun turrets, with castration power, but the rate of fire and heat dissipation are terrible. The low-power joint-mounted wave cannon.

The secondary gun has also been replaced by a quadruple-mounted supercharged laser cannon from the original heavy-duty turbolaser cannon.

The latter's single-barreled rate of fire has reached a frantic 360 rounds per minute, and its power is just enough to tear apart the main armor of the big ships of the Jetrati fleet.

Ian and Huang also hoped to decapitate the enemy, and rapid-fire weapons are the best choice to paralyze enemy ships and reduce damage.

After all, if the enemy's turrets on the surface of the hull are blown up, the enemy ship will not be able to fight.

But again, when the enemy fleet is obsessed with obsession, rapid-fire weapons are also one of the best sweeping weapons against enemy ships.

"Commander, emergency communication from the bridge."

"Take it here." Ian's mind hadn't returned from the level 1.5 Macross yet.

"Commander, there is a big loophole behind the defense line, and there are a large number of FOLD fault neutralization reactions in the space of the queen's star-earth-moon system."

"What? In this situation where the plural interferes with FOLD?" Ian suddenly felt that the coconut juice in his mouth was no longer sweet. "Send a reconnaissance force to find out the truth. The whole ship of the pro-guards is activated urgently, ready to rush to the final line of defense."

"Uh... it's a false alarm, it's the arrival of VAJRA's reinforcement fleet."

"..." Ian lay down again. "I just said that the Jetra Emperors don't have that strong technology..."

When Ian was preparing to study the optimal configuration of warships to deal with this kind of enemy facing several times...

"Report, there is a Jetradi fleet DE-FOLD in the VAJRA fleet."

"??? What's going on here?"

"The surrounding FOLD faults of the DE-FOLD of the VARJRA fleet were neutralized, and the nearby anti-FOLD devices shut down due to VAJRA's forced DE-FOLD overheating. Although the FOLD fault generator is still operating, it has not come to repair all the faults."

"I see, open the communication line with the headquarters of the new unified army, and prepare to return for help."

"The VAJRA army, and the Jetrati army from FOLD begin to fight."

The time went back to three minutes ago.

"This is VAJRA, I am the queen. We are back." The queen of the VAJRA galaxy group contacted the headquarters of the Queen's Star Defense Force of the New United Army in the image of Lanxi Meijiufen.

In just three sentences, President Glass and other high-level officials of the new unified government changed from the horror when they saw the FOLD fault being neutralized, the horror when they saw so many traces of FOLD that they were too lazy to count, to the panic when they saw that it was a friendly army. Surprise on.

Then, Queen VAJRA, who had a little understanding of the human concept of honor and disgrace, felt a bit slapped in the face when she saw a total of nearly 10,000 warships of various types coming out along the FOLD security field DE-FOLD that she had opened. .

I was obviously looking for a place for my tenant with good intentions to prevent my old house from being smashed, so why did I just lure wolves into the house by the way?

But Jetra Teijin, who just came out of DE-FOLD, was even more terrified.

During the tens of thousands of years when the Jetra emperors roamed the galaxy...

Not less beaten by VAJRA.

Every century, several four-digit numbered backbone fleets are delisted for attacking VAJRA.

By the way... In earlier times, primitive cultures were also treated this way.

It's just that the primitive culture is less aggressive and has more brains. If you get beaten a lot, you know how to go around.

Even imitated VAJRA to manufacture the human guardian device of the bird man.

So to the Jetradi... VAJRA is a creature that has been called "invincible myth" from their creator all the way to them.

Then, such a Jetradi Squadron with a total number of ships of just over 10,000 just jumped into the center of a large fleet of VAJRA with a single destroyer size of more than one million.

Numerous VAJRAs, big and small, stared at their scarlet eyes, looking curiously at this uninvited guest.

The commander of the Jetradi Squadron deeply reviewed his irrationality, and when he saw a FOLD safety circle near the target planet, he jumped in directly.

Although reckless...

But the commander found out very sadly, no matter from his own nature to be an admiral, or from the overall situation.

Why don't I dare next time.

Combat while forced to climb 3 light with regular thrusters is pretty stupid thing to do.

Then, when there is a gap in this weird FOLD fault that seems to be deliberately set up by humans, it is the only choice to let a squadron go to investigate.

It's a trap. A squadron is innocuous compared to the main force, and if it is lost, it is lost.

If it's not a trap, then you'll make a lot of money.

"Huh... Will the main force of Jetradi never lose money...Every dust of the era, falling on an individual is a mountain..."Political Order and Political Decay" obviously looks like an analysis of current affairs, why is it so? The emergence of such a philosophical language... Are the inheritors of primitive culture all such people..." The commander of the Jetradi Squadron gave a wry smile. "The whole ship and all the gun doors are open, let's fight out! Let's fight with the backbone of our Jetra Emperor! As long as we break through here, we can return to our team!"

However, the moment they launched their hostility, the VAJRAs, who sensed the hostility and switched to a combat state, immediately launched an all-out attack. No mercy.

The biological heavy particle turret on the VAJRA battleship turned around, aimed at the Jetrati battleship and started shelling. The VAJRA aircraft carrier turns around, the bow of the ship is aimed at the Jetradi battleship, and the hull is deployed up and down, the main gun is charged, and a large ship is fired with one shot.

VAJRA red individuals and VAJRA heavy artillery individuals use heavy particle cannons to shoot at the Jetra Emperor battleship, and VAJRA small yellow individuals hunt and kill the carrier-based aircraft released by the Jetra Emperor battleship.

In less than ten minutes, except for a few battleships that were beaten by VAJRA and lost their fighting spirit and dared not fight back, all the members of the Jetradi fleet were sunk by VAJRA.

At this time, the QRF unit of the new unified army and the fleet directly under Ian of the unified department had just arrived on the battlefield.

"Are you sure?" In the FOLD channel, a 1,500-kilometer Bodo-Zan mobile fortress is moving towards the Queen Star. In the central command room of the fortress, the Jetradi people who were soaked in the huge training tank asked the surrounding Jetradi commanders.

"Confirmed. The last FOLD communications from the Assault Scouting Fleet indicated that they were engaging the VAJRA, now that the gap in the FOLD fault has closed.

Considering that the shape of this FOLD fault is regular and its velocity is constant when it is generated. It can be considered as an artificial FOLD fault. "

A Jetradi commander reports with a tablet.

"Humans... even have such a dangerous manufacturing method... This is a feat that even primitive civilizations failed to achieve. Sure enough, they humans have stolen the inheritance of our creator..." Jie in the training tank Trady said. "Send a notice to the entire fleet. When this fortress arrives at the first battlefield, the first to fourth battlefields will start the general attack as scheduled."

"As you order, Commander."

—————————

"Enemy, the guerrilla fleet retreats."

"Our side also disengaged, and the damaged ships returned to the second line of defense for emergency repairs."

"There is a high-energy reaction behind the enemy fleet... It's not a large object that is DE-FOLDing. There are more than 30 million DE-FOLD reactions near him, and the number is still increasing. It should be the enemy's main fleet!"

"This ship has also observed it, what the hell is that!"

"Bodo-Zan level fortress? This big? Report to the headquarters! The enemy's main force has appeared in this direction."

"Commander, the enemy's main fleet has appeared in area N. It is 12,000 kilometers away from the first line of defense. It is approaching now."

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't play tricks and simply use N S W E to distinguish the general defense area... Is N area the enemy's main attack direction?" Ian sighed. Originally, Ian planned to divide the defense area into three layers of ABC according to the third-order Rubik's cube. Each layer has 9 small defense areas, a total of 27 defense areas. The queen star is in the middle B5 area, but found that such a division is too trivial, and it is not easy to form directly. The sense of direction, on the contrary, will interfere with the command of commanders at all levels.

So it was simply divided into 4 large defense areas, and they were directly named East E West W South S North N four areas. With the equator of the queen star as the node, the north is zone 1, and the south is zone 2.

"A report from the S area, found an enemy fleet, the total number is about 30 million."

"Region W and E region have reported that an enemy fleet has been found, with a total of about 15 million."

"Simultaneous attack from four directions...the emperor?" Ian looked at the emperor who was wearing a formal uniform.

"It's on schedule." Huang played with the command whip in his hand.

"President Glass?" Ian connected to the communication at the headquarters of the new unified army.

"Well, according to the schedule, the new unified army will be included in the command of the unified department. Commander Breetai will serve as the deputy commander to assist in the command." Commander Glass is sitting in the BATTLE FRIONTIER. "Send it to the whole army."

"Then the battle begins." The emperor's eyes sharpened, and the command whip in his hand quickly turned around. "Now, the entire army is under my command. The entire fleet, unlock the combat plan, and form the corresponding plan according to the plan B-34, forming the first line of defense against the Jetradi basic fleet.

The space anchor platform is deployed according to the D-92 plan.

The mine group was launched again according to the X-12 plan. "

The defense forces of the Queen Star go to the designated positions according to the predetermined plan to carry out defensive operations.

At this point, the second Queen Star offensive and defensive battle broke out in an all-round way.
