Chapter 462: Cavalry (Part 2)



After testing the mecha's psychic jump and flight capabilities, Li Xin began to test the mecha's attack capabilities.

The location he chose to jump was a meteorite belt outside the planet, and this time he would use these meteorites as the target of attack.

In space, energy weapons are extremely useful, especially various lasers, such as X-lasers, gamma lasers, etc.

Because in a vacuum environment, there is basically no medium to block the laser attack.

Not only can it enable laser weapons to exert their maximum power, but it can also have a longer range.

The first thing Li Xin activated was the heavy X-laser cannon mounted under his left arm. This laser cannon was of the same caliber as the main gun used on the frigate.

“Squeak!”

Although sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum, Li Xin still dubbed it in his mind when launching it.

A dazzling red laser beam shot out from under the left arm and almost instantly hit a small meteorite in the distance at the same time.

After hitting the meteorite, the laser beam went straight through it, burning a large hole in its center.

Li Xin drove the mecha closer. It was an iron ore meteorite, about 80% of which was iron, and its weight reached tens of thousands of tons.

But even if it is refined iron, not an armor alloy smelted by modern technology, iron of the same quality cannot withstand such a shot.

Not to mention meteorites formed by the explosion of cosmic stars.

The power of long-range weapons is not small. After all, this is a main gun with the same power as the main gun of a ship.

However, relatively speaking, the frigate's firing rate is faster, at least more than twice that of the mecha.

The size of the cavalry is relatively small, and it is loaded with a large number of void shields, psychic jump engines, and other equipment. The energy it can supply to energy weapons is obviously not as good as that of a battleship.

But this is enough for the mecha.

This type of laser cannon does not pose much of a threat when attacking the enemy's void shield, but when the mecha directly passes through the void shield and comes close to the enemy warship.

At this time, using laser cannons to attack enemy warships are two completely different concepts.

At this time, one shot may be able to penetrate the enemy's external armor and directly destroy important facilities and equipment, such as the command center on the bridge, or the void shield generator, engine, and main gun energy source.

After testing the long-range weapons, Li Xin began to test the power of melee weapons. The ship-cutting sword had a blade that was more than 40 meters long. Including the handle, this weapon was almost the same length as a cavalryman.

This kind of weapon is enough to make people tremble just by looking at it. When the decomposition force field was activated, Li Xin swung it violently.

"brush!"

The meteorite in front of him, which was even larger than the mecha, was directly split into two halves, and the cut was very smooth.

The material used for the ship-slashing sword is extremely hard, and the existence of the decomposition force field makes this weapon almost unmatched.

There won't even be a burr where the meteorite is cut.

Decomposing the force field means tearing apart their molecular structure at the molecular level, which naturally makes the cut appear extremely smooth.

After feeling the power and speed of the cavalry, I realized that if the cavalry could go on the ground, it would probably be easy for them to defeat the centurions of the same level.

However, it is absolutely impossible for the cavalry to fight against the captains on the ground, because ground combat is not a simple comparison of strength.

Even though the cavalryman is so agile and fast in space, he simply doesn't have such agility and speed on the ground.

Once the rear engine starts, unless it flies directly into the sky, it is hard to imagine what the mecha will hit under this acceleration.

A stumble could cause him to slide onto the ground, shattering the armor without any problem.

Without turning on this power engine, under the influence of the planet's gravity, the heavy weight of the cavalry and the large engine behind it will directly make the cavalry lose its flexibility.

Long-range weapons are also not effective. Although they are powerful, they take a long time to recharge.

If the cavalrymen go down to the ground and fight the centurions, they may not be able to defeat them, because the two sides have different focuses.

After testing his favorite mecha, Li Xin waited for the cooling of the psychic jump engine, restarted the engine, and jumped back to the vicinity of the star base from a distance.

Only mechas can perform such flexible operations. Other warships simply cannot jump such a short distance.

Whether it is a frigate or a battleship, the shortest jump takes at least half a day. During this time, it can jump a long distance.

After returning to the vicinity of the star base, Li Xin got off the cavalry directly and prepared to inspect the work progress of the star base.

From the outside, this star base looks like a large fortress.

However, Li Xin's positioning of this star base is also a fortress.

With this star base, we can firmly control the alliance below.

At the same time, if enemies from outside the galaxy enter the galaxy, Li Xin’s fleet can also rely on this star base as a defensive stronghold.

This star base is currently much more resistant to attack than several battleships combined.

Because the star base does not need to consider movement, the power engine can be discarded and the base's armor defense can be continuously piled up, with armor thicker than that of a battleship.

Equipped with more void shield generators and relying on absorbing the sun's radiation energy, the star base also stores enough energy.

There are even more outrageous weapons, including large plasma jet cannons, heavy X-laser cannons, heavy gamma laser cannons, heavy kinetic rail guns, etc.

On one side of the star base, there is also a large aircraft carrier hangar.

Li Xin came to the hangar for inspection. Two large carrier-based hangars have been built in the entire star base.

Each hangar can accommodate at least hundreds of space fighters, and the speed of these fighters is much faster than that of mechas.

However, this refers to their normal moving speed. More than half of the space and energy of their carrier-based aircraft are supplied to the power system.

Rather than saying they are carrier-based aircraft, it would be more accurate to say that they are just a nose and a pilot attached to an engine, with some missiles and space torpedoes on board.

Carrier-based aircraft are not driven by psychics. If you want to attack enemy ships, you can only rely on super-high speed to approach the enemy, and then use missiles or space torpedoes to attack.

The pilots who fly space carrier-based aircraft are currently basically clones, or even not all of them.

Because for every carrier-based aircraft, there will be three unmanned wingman aircraft following.
