"They attacked the transport ship with anti-ship missiles before, but not only did they fail to kill me, I even managed to get onto this battleship and kill everyone on board. I'm guessing their next move will be even more violent. Will they rain down missiles on me, or will they just nuke me? Can they hack into the control systems of other ships?"
Chen Yan stood in the command cabin, without even looking at the corpse, and just asked Hope in a rather relaxed tone.
"It's impossible to hack. The ship's control systems are all independent, so physical intrusion is the only option. When we were investigating the ship's internal personnel layout, we were able to hack in an instant because it didn't involve the fire control system."
The answer given by 'Hope' was not beyond Chen Yan's expectations.
After all the confidential information of the battle group was leaked, the enemy could not remain indifferent.
Even if it is not possible to replace all electronic information and redesign the logic in a short period of time, it is entirely possible to temporarily replace information communication and information control through crude methods.
Apart from causing low efficiency, the other troubles are actually not serious.
If it's just for emergencies, it's not a big problem.
"So, this battleship's fire control system can be hacked, right? Just tell me where to physically hack it, and I'll violently dismantle the system according to your requirements, right?"
Chen Yan continued to ask.
"That's no problem. Please go to the control room and follow the steps I provide to perform a physical intrusion."
Looking at the text information appearing in front of him and the corresponding three-dimensional map leading to the control room, Chen Yan immediately took action.
The news of the battleship being attacked must have spread.
The other warships in the entire battle group must have known the situation of this warship, so he will inevitably face a more severe attack next.
The previous anti-ship missiles failed to cause any damage to him. In addition, this warship was obviously here to investigate the situation, but he took the opportunity to sneak up on it and caused a small wipeout of the opposite side.
With such a previous experience, the opponent will definitely increase the intensity of the attack, and the time left for him to respond will inevitably be very tight.
If they just traveled through the wasteland to avoid the attack, the damage they caused to the enemy would be too small. In Chen Yan's opinion, the most reasonable approach would be to use "Hope" to invade the fire control system of the battleship as soon as possible, and then fire all the long-range weapons equipped on the battleship to cause maximum damage to the entire battle group!
The prerequisite is to be fast!
The attack must be launched before the other ships in the battle group can react.
Otherwise, if the enemy decided to launch a covering attack and directly launched an offensive to sink the battleship, then his plan to use the enemy's missiles to attack the enemy's battleship would not be realized.
With these thoughts in his mind, Chen Yan reached the control room as quickly as possible.
Following Hope's request, they quickly completed the physical intrusion into the control room and connected the smart bracelet to the control cluster in the control room.
"Master, this ship has a total of 122 vertical launch units. Excluding empty bays, it is actually equipped with 96 missiles of various types. Seven Harpoon anti-ship missiles remain, and the remaining short-range weapons are ineffective. Only the two MK-45 5-inch 54-caliber naval guns can be attempted to control and fire."
"These two guns have a maximum range of twenty nautical miles, a maximum firing rate of twenty rounds per minute, and an actual magazine capacity of six hundred rounds. However, sustained fire requires a certain degree of control from you, the master. The fully automatic, non-sustained fire mode is entirely under my control."
Chen Yan's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation: "Lock on the current positions of the other ships in the battle group! Immediately attack the ships within the range of the naval guns! Do not stop the attack! This kind of naval gun is bound to have shooting errors! Calibrate according to the hit results!
Try to use up all your reserve ammunition! Launch all remaining missiles! Aim for warships outside the range of your guns! Remember to treat them equally, don't overthink the carriers. The enemy's carriers have incredibly strong defenses, and using all your missiles to attack them would be a waste."
"Master, it will take at least thirty minutes for the ship's guns to empty their magazines. Based on the current radar scans, as soon as we begin our attack, the blanket attack will sink our warship in five minutes and thirty seconds at the latest. This time can be shortened to three minutes and twenty seconds at the earliest."
"Um...I see. Then let's do our best. We'll use as many as we can. Anything we can't use will be wasted anyway."
As Chen Yan finished speaking, the warship, which had been silent because all the crew members had been killed, suddenly moved.
Under the control of 'Hope', the battleship's fire control system operates more accurately and quickly than manual control!
In less than ten seconds, all weapon launch platforms completed the final preparations before launch.
As for aiming, it is not difficult for 'Hope' at all. Unless they are too far apart, the specific locations of each combat unit in the battle group cannot be a secret to other friendly combat units.
Chen Yan left the control room and returned to the deck of the battleship.
Looking at the countdown of "hope" displayed on the contact lenses, when the countdown reached zero, the dense vertical launch units immediately began to launch one after another!
The same was true for the Harpoon anti-ship missile, and the ship's gun automatically changed direction and immediately fired the first shot!
This was an attack launched by a single warship against the entire battle group!
It seems that they are outnumbered but in fact the real gap in firepower is not as big as the gap in the number of warships.
Because aircraft carriers, as the core of a battle group, do not actually have much combat capability.
Its biggest function is to serve as a take-off and landing platform at sea, providing air control and long-range strike support through carrier-based aircraft. Its real naval combat capability is very general, otherwise it would not be necessary to have so many other warships to form a formation for escort.
As for the configuration of other destroyers and submarines, they are all within the saturation strike range of this cruiser.
The supply ships can basically be ignored.
So after a simple calculation, Chen Yan was very sure that the cruiser he captured, purely from the perspective of weapon configuration, could fully compete with the remaining warships in the battle group.
Unless the enemy has no moral principles...
"Master! Please retreat immediately! The enemy has deployed a tactical nuclear bomb! It will hit our current location in twelve seconds! That's two minutes and forty-eight seconds faster than I expected!"
Huh?! You really don't have martial ethics?!
Chen Yan immediately prepared to go to the wasteland world.
