If traveling merchants can recognize mechas, how could these pirates who often plunder not know them?
Generally speaking, if possible, pirates will stay away from fleets equipped with mechas.
There is no way. The mecha can cause too much damage to these small ships.
If you want to deal with mecha units, you need at least a cruiser or a battleship.
Taking B-class mechas as an example, Li Xin’s Cavalry is more than fifty meters tall, while the C-class Ranger is only more than twenty meters tall.
A cruiser is generally two to three thousand meters long.
Battleships are even larger, with a length of six or seven thousand meters being the norm, and some even reaching tens of thousands of meters in length.
At this time, even a fifty-meter-tall cavalryman would find it difficult to destroy the battleship.
To make a simple analogy, a cavalryman attacking a frigate is like a person trying to sink a small fishing boat of four or five meters. It's very simple.
For a cavalryman to attack a destroyer is like one person sinking a fishing boat of nearly 20 meters, which is not very difficult.
But when it comes to cruisers, it's a different situation. It's like a person trying to sink a 60-70 meter tall ship. The difficulty level is much higher.
Because this kind of large ship has many cabins below the horizontal line, it is not easy to sink it.
As for battleships, they are even bigger. It is equivalent to a person wanting to build a large warship of more than 200 meters. Not to mention wanting to sink the ship, it would be good if he is not hit to death by the ship.
A water ghost cannot deal with a large warship, just as a Class B or Class C mecha cannot compete with a battleship.
It would take dozens or even more mechas to destroy a battleship.
This is why battleships are the main battleships of a civilization.
However, these are things that the pirates don't have to think about.
The only large ships these pirates have are destroyers, so what's the point of that?
The frigate was caught up by the mecha, and the weapons on the ship were controlled and fired at the mecha frantically.
But the Rangers are fast and agile, and they have thick void shields on the outside.
Even if you just stand there and let these weapons hit you, it will take a long time to penetrate the void shield. Not to mention that now, because of the Rangers' fast speed, these counterattacks will have difficulty hitting the mecha.
Among the close defense weapons of the Pirate Frigate, there are laser weapons. This type of energy flow has the fastest speed. It can basically lock onto the target, aim, and fire, which is equivalent to a hit.
But this also has a prerequisite, which is that you have to aim accurately and be able to lock on to it.
The speed of the mecha was so fast and the distance between the two sides was so close that these secondary gun-level weapons hit it a few times only when the mecha had not yet rushed nearby.
When the mecha approaches, these secondary guns have no time to adjust the angle, let alone lock onto the target.
The mecha brandished its ship-cutting sword and directly destroyed several secondary guns. Now these ships became toothless tigers.
Then, the mecha used the impact force brought by its high-speed flight to chop the ship-cutting sword directly on the outer armor.
"Click!"
“Boom!!”
A large hole was directly cut in the outer armor of the ship, and the air inside the cabin was instantly sucked away by the vacuum.
Not to mention the crew members inside, they were directly sucked out by the powerful suction force of the vacuum. Those who were unlucky would crash into the broken armor and turn into pieces.
The mecha was outside, swinging its ship-cutting sword continuously, and in less than a minute, it destroyed the frigate.
The ship's counterattack was like a tickle to him.
There is also a fixed process for mechas to destroy ships. For example, the first step is to destroy the ship's secondary guns and close-in defense weapons, and finally the main guns.
After destroying these weapons, the ships basically have no room to resist the mecha.
The second step is to destroy the ship's energy system and power engine. At this time, the ship is like an iron coffin.
Unable to escape, unable to attack, can only wait for death.
The third part is to tear open the ship's armor. The vacuum outside will directly suck out all the crew members like a pump.
For frigates, this can basically solve the problem. The same is true for destroyers. At most, there will be more cabins and more openings will need to be opened on the ship.
However, in most cases, the energy system is destroyed, and the raging energy flow will quickly detonate the ship, and basically there will be no survivors on the ship.
After destroying the frigate, the Rangers quickly left and headed straight for the next target.
On the flagship far outside the asteroid belt, Li Xin suddenly thought of something and contacted Matt in the rear.
When Matt's holographic projection appeared, Li Xin asked, "President Matt, are you interested in buying the battleship?"
Matt's eyes lit up, and he asked, "General, are you selling your ships?!"
He is now very envious of Li Xin's ships, even the frigates are pretty good.
After watching the battle just now, this frigate is almost as powerful as his old destroyer.
If you can buy it, you can definitely sell it for a good price elsewhere.
However, Li Xin shook his head and said, "Of course we won't sell our own ships."
"I'm asking about these pirate ships. Are you interested?"
When Matt heard this, his excitement immediately subsided a lot.
But his business acumen allowed him to seize the opportunity in an instant.
Although these pirates' warships are a bit old, they are still warships after all. Although Li Xin looks down on them, they are also good things for some civilizations.
At worst, this can be put on the interstellar market. There will always be people who need these warships.
After figuring this out, Matt wanted to make the deal, but he also wanted to lower the price, so he said, "General, these warships are too old. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to sell them even if we buy them."
When Li Xin heard this, he knew that Matt still had some ideas, so he said, "These warships are in pretty good condition. At worst, we can just take them back to the starport and repair them."
"This..." Matt hesitated.
Li Xin smiled and said, "Since they are all spoils of war, the price is negotiable!"
Matt was delighted when he heard this, but his tone, expression, and body movements remained unchanged. He said, "Since the general has said so, we can consider buying some of these trophy ships."
Li Xin smiled and said, "That's right, President Matt, you will definitely make a lot of money this time!"
