Chapter 274 In a Dilemma



Inside the battleship 【Golden Crow】, red lights flashed everywhere, conveying a sense of warning.

[Warning: You have been locked onto by an enemy ship!]

[Warning: Electromagnetic cannon attack detected en route!]

[...]

Bai Yixuan stared at the dense warning messages on the holographic projection in front of him and gritted his teeth.

Damn it, something really bad has happened!

Look at the messages from command center, is that even human language?!

Freedom to attack? More like freedom to defend!

Faced with the impending blow, he quickly suppressed his urge to complain.

'Defense!'

'Prepare to intercept enemy attacks!'

Bai Yixuan watched as the electromagnetic cannon projectile drew ever closer and quickly issued the order.

In any case, let's just get through the first wave of attacks first!

Target locked!

A few milliseconds later, a notification appeared in front of Bai Yixuan.

In the holographic projection, countless tiny red dots appeared instantly.

Those are electromagnetic cannon projectiles from the Proxima Centauri fleet!

[Weapon system charging...]

A slight buzzing sound came from the deck beneath his feet, and entered Bai Yixuan's ears through the deep-sea chamber and the deep-sea fluid.

At the same time, a faint red light appeared at the muzzle of the high-energy laser cannon outside the [Golden Crow] battleship!

A second later, another notification popped up in front of Bai Yixuan's eyes.

[Weapon system fully charged!]

[Automatic blocking function is now enabled!]

As the last notification faded from view, countless red beams shot out from the Golden Crow battleship where he was located!

Under Zero's control, the high-energy laser beams seemed to have eyes, precisely bombarding every electromagnetic cannonball heading towards the Golden Crow!

The whole process sounds long, but it actually only took less than three seconds!

Almost the instant Proxima Centauri b launched its electromagnetic cannon attack, all 120 Golden Crow battleships simultaneously activated their automatic interception function!

Billions of high-energy laser beams instantly formed an impenetrable defensive net in front of the fleet!

[Interception successful!]

A notification pops up in the holographic projection.

Before Bai Yixuan could even breathe a sigh of relief, the alarm sounded again!

[Electromagnetic cannon attack detected en route!]

[WARNING! You have been hit by a laser weapon. Please take evasive action immediately!]

In the holographic projection, several constantly flashing red dots appeared on the 3D model of the [Golden Crow] battleship!

[Armor damage level in the impact area: 10.7%]

[Update: Armor damage in the impact area: 21.6%]

...

The camera cuts to the outside world.

Perhaps realizing that electromagnetic railgun attacks were not very effective against enemy ships, the Proxima Centauri fleet quietly changed its attack pattern.

Electromagnetic railguns and laser weapons are being used in tandem!

Between the electromagnetic cannon projectiles, countless laser beams were emitted from the Proxima Centauri civilization's spaceships, heading straight for the [Golden Crow] fleet.

Without any reaction time, the high-energy laser beam shone directly onto the surface of the [Golden Crow] starship.

laugh!

Although the laser beam only lasted for a few milliseconds, the high temperature it generated still burned a small dent into the outer armor of the Golden Crow.

Inside the crater, the molten armor gradually solidified.

The once perfectly smooth surface of the starship now bears an unsightly scar.

But is that all?

Of course not!

The first laser disappeared, and the second laser followed closely behind, illuminating the same spot!

One, two, three...

Beams of laser light precisely struck the same spot on the Golden Crow starship.

The originally shallow "scar" has sunk in at a speed visible to the naked eye!

...

Seeing the rapidly increasing damage to the armor, Bai Yixuan's eyes showed a hint of panic.

But then he remembered how to deal with laser weapons.

The damage caused by high-energy laser beams mainly comes from the extremely high temperatures generated instantaneously.

Therefore, a clever solution was devised.

For these laser beams with relatively low power that cannot penetrate the spacecraft's protective layer in an instant, they can be easily dealt with as long as their attack area is dispersed as much as possible.

The method of dispersing the attack area is also very simple.

With the starship maintaining high-speed, irregular movement, the laser beams naturally could not consistently and accurately bombard the same area.

Thinking of this, Bai Yixuan quickly issued his orders.

[Golden Crow A21, moving forward four steps!]

The previously dim Hall thrusters suddenly emitted an extremely bright light!

With tremendous thrust, the 1500-meter-long [Golden Crow] battleship began to gradually increase its speed!

Following Bai Yixuan's decision, the remaining 119 [Golden Crow] battleships also entered the forward four state.

The laser beam continued to shine on the surface of the Golden Crow battleship.

As the Golden Crow's movement speed increases, the destructive effect of the high-energy laser beam becomes weaker.

At best, it can only leave thin "scars" on its surface.

While dodging laser beams and electromagnetic cannon attacks, each of the [Golden Crow] ships also occasionally took the opportunity to fire a burst of electromagnetic cannon fire at the Proxima Centauri fleet opposite them.

However, it is clear that such a scattered attack is like a tickle to the Proxima Centauri fleet, which is backed by the planetary defense network, and cannot cause any damage at all!

...

In the deep space at a distance of 0.95 AU from Proxima Centauri, 381 starships are rushing toward their destination.

Inside the human flagship, the Earth.

'Laser weapon?!'
