Chapter 278 Is this the end?
At the same time as pulling the joystick of the starship, Olaya reached out and pushed a red button in front of him without any hesitation.
[Warning! ]
[The starship is detected to be inside the planet's atmosphere. This operation violates the basic protocol. Do you want to continue? ]
Baroka stared blankly at the line of text in front of him, and Olaya's previous words flashed through his mind.
After seeing the red button clearly, he shuddered violently, and his originally dull eyes quickly turned into horror and shock.
"Fuck!"
Baroka's dull eyes quickly turned into horror and shock: "Captain, you are crazy!!"
"According to regulations, the antimatter acceleration function can only be turned on outside the planet's atmosphere..."
"You can turn it on!"
Olaya interrupted Baroka's words, and at the same time lifted the corresponding restrictions with the captain's authority: "It just violated the environmental protection agreement."
In addition to the unconventional curvature propulsion system, the patrol starship has two different conventional propulsion systems, one of which is the Hall propulsion device with smaller thrust.
This device that relies on high-speed plasma to generate thrust has a very high propulsion efficiency.
The second is a propulsion system with greater thrust, built on an antimatter reactor. When protons and antiprotons annihilate, several charged and uncharged mesons will be produced. Uncharged mesons will quickly transform into high-energy gamma rays, while charged mesons have a certain lifespan. These charged mesons running at 94% of the speed of light can become the best propulsion material.
Since the antimatter propulsion system will produce a lot of radiation when it is working, in order to protect the internal ecological environment of the planet, this propulsion method is usually only used outside the planet's atmosphere.
But now Auraya obviously will not abide by this rule.
People are almost dead, who the hell still abides by the so-called environmental protection agreement?
[Countdown to start the antimatter acceleration system: 3, 2, 1...]
Boom! ! !
Before Baroka could react, the countdown had already returned to zero!
The light at the tail of the starship suddenly surged!
It was like a dazzling sun rising slowly in the atmosphere of the Swamp Abyss Star! !
...
"Ah!!!"
"Fuck! Fuck!"
Baroka was pressed down on the chair behind him by the strong push.
For the first time in his life, he experienced the feeling of flying in front of him and being chased by his soul!
He held the seat belt in front of him tightly with his dry hands, and looked at the rapidly changing scenery outside the porthole with horror and cursed:
"Mad man! You are a mad man!"
Olaya did not respond to Baroka's curse beside him - dozens of bright blue warning messages had been lit up on the screen in front of him.
The fire control radar of the Numabuchi Self-Defense Fleet had locked onto his patrol starship.
"Beep!!!"
A piercing long sound rang in the cockpit, and dozens of extremely obvious lights appeared again in the increasingly thin atmosphere.
Those were the antimatter missiles launched at him by the Self-Defense Fleet!
"If you don't want to die, shut up!"
Olaya looked tense, staring at the screen on the main console, and angrily scolded Baroka beside him with an ugly face.
"Beep, beep!"
A short prompt sounded, and the shipboard computer had already completed the target lock.
Olaya did not hesitate and directly pressed the attack button next to the joystick.
With a slight vibration coming from the deck under his feet, Baroka was horrified to see several blurry light spots flying out from his side, rushing straight towards the dim starry sky in front of him!
At this moment, Baroka finally realized his situation belatedly.
This is a battlefield of life and death!
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth silently.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dozens of light spots intertwined with each other, and the dazzling explosion flames bloomed in the upper atmosphere that was so thin that it was almost a vacuum!
...
"Did you stop it?"
In the Numabuchi Self-Defense Fleet, Endy looked at the rapidly spreading explosion flames outside the porthole with an ugly face.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy."
A colleague responded from the side: "The patrol starship is the support force of the Blay Alliance. It is a starship eliminated by the fifth-level civilization."
Endy fell into silence.
That's right.
Captain Olaya's patrol starship is a standard fifth-level civilized starship, while the starship of the Swamp Self-Defense Fleet is only a technological creation of the third-level civilization.
The performance of the two is completely not at the same level!
"The target signal has been re-detected!"
Another colleague exclaimed: "The first interception failed!"
Outside the porthole, a starship with a bumpy surface rushed out from the aftermath of the explosion!
Around the starship, a layer of shield with a faint green light was covered with layers of fine ripples on the surface-the previous attack did not have any effect on it, and did not even slow down the opponent's charge!
"Use the space-based defense system!"
Endy's face changed, and he issued the second order without any hesitation: "All warships, fire freely!"
"The chairman of the parliament ordered that Captain Olaya must be kept in the Swamp Star!"
The order was given, and the four-pointed flames lit up outside the porthole. In addition to the basic missiles, high-energy laser beams and basic electromagnetic naval guns also began to operate at full power!
At the same time, outside the thin atmosphere, several large satellites running in the planetary synchronous orbit began to adjust their directions and aimed their guns with a diameter of several meters at the cruise starship below!
A series of light beams with golden arcs on the surface descended from the sky, shooting straight at the patrol starship going upstream! !
At this moment, the saturation firepower of the Numafuchi Self-Defense Fleet and the plasma cannons from the sky complemented each other, and together built a set of defense network that could be called a net of heaven and earth! !
And right below the net of heaven and earth, a starship with a tattered surface and inconspicuous appearance was accelerating towards the deep starry sky under the propulsion of the antimatter acceleration system! ! !
The next second.
A large number of tiny points of light and a dazzling beam of light gushed out from this inconspicuous, shabby starship, and took the initiative to face the net in the sky!
The artillery fire and the fleet together formed a beautiful picture!
...
Boom!!!
The moment the two sides came into contact, an increasingly violent explosion broke out in the upper atmosphere of the Swamp Abyss Star!
At this moment, the sky of the entire Swamp Abyss Star became several times brighter! !
The light green shield looked particularly dim under the reflection of the artillery fire, and it was shaky like a candle that could be blown out by a gust of wind! !
[Warning! ! ]
[Shield generation unit is about to overload! ! ]
[Warning! Warning! ! ]
[...]
Inside the patrol starship, countless bright blue warning messages popped up on the screen of the main console like snowflakes.
Olaya pursed his lips tightly, and thick blue veins bulged out from his neck. His somewhat dry and thin hands tightly grasped the shaking joystick.
Under the attack of countless artillery fire, the old starship began to shake constantly, and at the same time, it issued a series of creaking painful groans!
As for Barroka...
As a congressman, he had never seen such a thrilling scene. At this moment, he closed his eyes tightly, and had already handed everything over to the illusory will of heaven.
Although the patrol starship was an obsolete product, it was after all a creation of the fifth-level civilization.
Facing the full-scale attack of the self-defense fleet and the space-based defense system, it relied on the shield system to survive!
Swish!
The light green shield flickered slightly, and under the gaze of everyone, the patrol starship successfully broke out of the second fire interception network!
Facing the self-defense fleet that was close at hand, Olaya only needed to gently pull the trigger on the joystick, and the weapons equipped with the patrol starship could easily tear these warships into pieces.
But Olaya did not do so.
The fault was only the Council, and these fellows were just executing orders from the top.
In a sense, the Council was just a chess piece controlled by others.
Thinking of this, Olaya pulled the joystick with a gloomy face.
Under the long-term acceleration of the antimatter acceleration system, the flying speed of the patrol starship has far exceeded that of the warships of the Self-Defense Fleet. As Olaya pulled the joystick, the patrol starship drew a graceful arc in the air, passing the Self-Defense Fleet and rushing towards the outside of the Swamp Star!
Looking at the Swamp Self-Defense Fleet that was far behind, the expression on Olaya's face finally relaxed a little.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, and his dry hands began to tremble slightly.
In just a few minutes of confrontation, his body secreted an unprecedented huge amount of hormones. After surviving the crisis, the hormone effect gradually subsided, and a strong sense of fatigue also surged into his heart.
But now is definitely not the time to rest!
The Council may organize a stronger counterattack at any time! !
Thinking of this, Olaya gritted his teeth hard, forced himself to drive the starship out of the Swamp Star!
Just as he was about to start the curvature engine, a warning signal popped up in front of him.
[Abnormal curvature fluctuation detected! 】
Densely packed light spots also appeared in the radar!
Tens, hundreds, thousands...
As the number of light spots continued to grow, patrol starships of similar shapes slowly emerged in the dim starry sky.
Olaya took a deep breath, and then slowly loosened his hands holding the joystick.
"Captain?"
Seeing this scene, Baroka on the side was anxious: "What are you..."
"That's the patrol fleet."
Olaya exhaled a breath of turbid air, and despair flashed in his eyes: "Each one is a level 5 patrol starship like mine."
Baroka fell silent instantly.
The communication channel was automatically connected, and a majestic voice came from it: "Captain Olaya, stop the starship immediately for inspection!"
"I didn't expect that even the patrol fleet was controlled by the Council."
Olaya shook his head bitterly.
He slowly closed his eyes: "Is this the end?"
A harsh alarm from the tachyon radar flashed by!
Olaya opened his eyes suddenly, but there was no display on the tachyon radar, as if the alarm was an illusion.
Looking at this very familiar scene, Olaya's originally dim eyes once again gave birth to a little hope!
"Yes..."
"Mr. Chen Fan?"
