Chapter 291 Star Grabbing
There is no way, their fleet and leader are not there, not to mention lack of command, and no backbone.
Rather than fighting to the death and then really dying, it is better to leave a way out for yourself.
In this way, after a fierce battle, the Starport of the Western faction of the Marauders completely fell, and Beiliang took it with an extremely tough posture, without causing too much damage.
The main reason is that the Predator's mecha is too weak to protect itself, let alone kill the enemy.
In fact, they also have strong mechas and pilots. After all, there are so many people in the Western Predator faction, how could they not be strong.
It's just that the leader of the Predator never thought that something would happen to the star port, and he always brought the powerful pilot and mecha with him, and put them on the flagship...
During the period when the Mecha Corps captured the Starport, the two fleets in charge of the pursuit also went very smoothly, leaving the Predator warships in this starry sky.
Even the leader of the western faction failed to escape, and was intercepted by anti-jump missiles when the transition procedure was about to start, and there was nowhere to escape.
Feeling the threat of death, he tried to surrender to Beiliang at this time, but unfortunately he no longer had any capital to surrender, and was killed by the third artillery of the Tianying where Mu Qianye was, and became a dead bone in the ship.
This also meant the demise of the western faction of the Predator Desolate Clan, and it was also the most embarrassing war they had fought in recent years, being suppressed from beginning to end.
The most frightening thing is that even at the moment of being wiped out, they didn't know that their enemy was Beiliang, and they thought it was a force from other galaxies.
After all, Baisha hid it very well during the management of JK0810, and did not reveal anything related to Beiliang.
And all this happened too fast, the western faction disappeared before they found out the details of the forces behind JK0810...
Adding the North and South factions, it is equivalent to Beiliang annihilating the three Marauder factions in just a few days and officially taking over the Desolate Clan.
Of course, in order to grab time, the price they paid was not small, mainly reflected in the consumption of materials.
Take the first-level transition crystals as an example. In recent days, Beiliang and the foreign legion have consumed more than 5,000 pieces, and the second-level has about 900 pieces, and there are countless energy blocks.
You must know that other battleships cannot store Gott through decomposition and reorganization like the Exile. All energy needs to be put into the reactor to maintain operation, and all the energy burned is money.
In addition to the consumed ammunition, damaged weapons, particle shields, etc., Beiliang has directly consumed nearly 200 billion Star Union coins due to the war in recent days.
If they hadn't robbed the first batch of goods from the Law Enforcing Federation and replenished them heavily, they would probably have run out of ammunition and food by now.
This is also the disadvantage of more and more warships. The maintenance fee is too expensive, and the consumption of a war can almost buy a fleet.
Now Chen Han is more and more able to understand that many big forces can't afford good warships, but they can't afford them, and they need money to even move them.
After all, not every faction fights like them every day. If you buy a good warship and don’t use it, it’s a waste. It’s better to spend the money elsewhere...
Then there are only planets controlled by the western factions, there are several, most of them are resource stars, and there is no defense force. It is estimated that the people there do not know that their main force has been wiped out.
The most important thing is of course the inhabited planet below the star port, which is a vibrant blue-white as a whole. The data shows that the diameter is about 14963KM, and the mass is about 6.995×10^24KG.
This can only be regarded as a regular-mass planet, like JK0810, which is one-third larger than this.
For Chen Han and others, the bigger the planet, the better. Larger means more choices, and more diverse supplies.
As for the problem that the mass is too large and the gravitational force is too large, there is no need to worry too much.
First of all, as long as all livable planets can be defined as livable, all aspects of it will certainly not exceed the tolerance of normal creatures.
Even if it exceeds a little bit, it can be transformed with a planetary transformation device, and it doesn't take long for people to live normally.
Like the JK0810 with relatively high quality, Chen Han has gone in to experience it before, and he will not feel any discomfort without carrying the device.
This planet is smaller than JK0810, so naturally it doesn't matter.
After restoring the order of Xinggang and confirming its safety, Chen Han and Mu Qianye both stepped in and looked at it from top to bottom.
Although some places are a bit rough and cut corners, but in terms of overall craftsmanship, it doesn't look like the technology that a predator should have, and all kinds of facilities are extremely complete.
And it's not that there is no median star port here, but the original median and high positions are merged, resulting in only two parts from the outside.
There are hundreds of floors in the upper part, and the top few floors are the battleship docking area, which is dedicated to dealing with battleship affairs. Each floor has a height of two to three thousand meters.
This height is very reasonable. Although under normal circumstances warships will not enter the star port, the interior of the star port is generally equipped with a warship manufacturing plant. Without this kind of space, it is impossible to display it at all.
And every time the predator's fleet returns, it will carry a large amount of supplies, which needs to be hoarded in a large enough warehouse.
Although there is no large-scale warship manufacturing plant in the current Starport, the ambitions of the western faction leaders can be seen from the relevant details.
He has a long-term vision, and really wants to develop Xinggang and the planet, but it's a pity that he met Beiliang halfway...
The next five floors are not so high, only a few hundred meters, which belongs to the business district, where warship weapons are sold, such as main guns and auxiliary guns.
The lower floors are shorter, and they are the entertainment area and the residential area. It is not a problem to accommodate 108,000 people loosely.
The down ball is relatively pure, it is the fighter plane docking area, which can accommodate nearly 10,000 fighter planes or transport planes from the planet below at the same time.
It is worth mentioning that the largest transportation channel of the entire star port is in the middle, and light ladders of different sizes run through the entire star port.
Then there are various transportation ladders on each floor connected to the light ladder in the middle like a spider web, which is very convenient for transporting people or carrying goods, and can be accessed directly.
It is also because of this that Beiliang was able to take down the entire star port in a few hours with more than 500 mechs.
And apart from the battle zone, there is also the battleship docking zone, the other parts are basically undamaged, and Ke Ke can quickly repair it with the mechanical team.
After learning about Xinggang, Chen Han and Mu Qianye started to do business. They came to Xinggang's tens of thousands of square meters of the main station area, which is the control room, and let the predators who used to work here contact the planet below.
Soon a middle-aged man connected, he is the confidant of the leader of the predators and the person in charge of the planet.
Probably knowing that there was a big battle above, he looked at Chen Han warily.
Chen Han didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly stated that the main fleet of the western faction had been wiped out, and the star port was also controlled by them, and the planets below were required to surrender, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.
This man was very tough, and he stated that he would not surrender. Chen Han came whenever he wanted, and he waited below.
Because the leader of the predators told him before leaving that the main fleet was only retreating temporarily. If the enemy came down, they could not surrender no matter what, just delaying time.
So he didn't believe that his fleet had been destroyed, thinking that Chen Han was bluffing him.
And as the person in charge of a planet, even if he is a predator, he has two skills. There are more than a million mechas and hundreds of thousands of fighters on the ground, as well as a lot of defensive firepower. These are his confidence.
Not to mention an unknown force, even if the Federation of Law Enforcers wants to take it down, it has to weigh it.
After all, the ground is different from space. There is no such terrifying range suppression. As long as you dare to enter the atmosphere, you will basically be hit by defensive weapons. There is nothing to be afraid of.
After getting a clear answer, Chen Han didn't hesitate, hung up the communication directly, returned to the Exile, and issued an attack order to the Calamity and Khorne fleets.
In just half an hour, the two fleets patrolling nearby completed their assembly and entered the planet below.
Seeing that the enemy actually sent warships in, the person in charge of the Marauders on this planet was stunned.
He has already made preparations to prevent being landed. Every airspace on the entire planet is monitored and can intercept and attack at any time. It is impossible for the enemy to drop the mecha on the ground without bombing tens of thousands of fighter planes.
But he never thought that the enemy would actually send the battleship in.
After doing such a crazy thing, don't the enemies worry about the consequences at all?
Although he was completely puzzled, the person in charge of the Marauders on this planet quickly calmed down and ordered to intercept Beiliang's fleet.
The planet of the western faction has a complete defense system. In an instant, thousands of missiles of various types cut through the sky with long tail flames, attacking the fleet from all directions.
This is only the first batch, there will be more in the future, and the overall number exceeds tens of thousands.
At the same time, more than 100,000 fighter planes of various types were launched from all over the place and assembled, and the target was also the fleet.
Regardless of the relatively poor power of a single fighter, it may not be able to do anything to a battleship.
But if it is approached by 10,000 fighters, even a disaster-class or even an ancient-class warship will temporarily avoid the edge.
Not to mention that this is hundreds of thousands of planes, no matter how thick the particle shield is, it can't withstand this kind of salvo.
In addition, the laser anti-aircraft firepower originally used to intercept enemy planes on the ground also began to recharge, aiming at the position where the battleship came down.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most tenacious resistance that Beiliang has encountered since sending warships into the planet several times in recent times. This firepower is stronger than the star port and outpost above.
The main reason is that it is very simple to deploy defenses on the ground, the location is wide, you can place them wherever you want, and the ammunition is cheap.
There are many restrictions on the starport, and the requirements for range alone are extremely high, which cannot be compared with the ground.
Any defensive weapon is extremely expensive and requires other technical support, resulting in a big gap in perception.
However, the reason why Beiliang was able to quickly defeat the western faction of the predators was not due to luck, but to real strength.
Facing nearly 10,000 missiles, the Calamity and Khorne fleets directly deployed all their secondary weapons, with full firepower, and with the assistance of the extremely accurate radar of the reconnaissance ship, they carried out manual interception.
These are not fast missiles or light-speed missiles on battleships. The overall flight speed is relatively slow, allowing the shipmaster and geeks to have enough reaction time.
Especially the Type III omnics in the main control room, they can calculate the trajectory of the relevant missiles within a few tenths of a second of seeing the data, and assist in the interception, which has played a huge role.
In the next few minutes, missiles were forcibly detonated in mid-air from time to time, bursting into flames.
Either it fails, directly loses thrust, and falls to the ground.
In the end, there are less than a thousand missiles that can pass through the intercepting firepower net.
Apportioned to the Calamity and Khorne fleets, it cannot cause much damage to the medium-sized particle shield at all.
The same is true even with other laser weapons. After all, these are used to fight fighter planes, and the caliber is not large. From the beginning of the design, I never thought of using them to fight warships.
This led to a few rounds of firepower, and the particle shields of all the warships in Beiliang did not drop to 70%. Instead, the missile inventory of the Marauders on the ground was almost empty...
As for the fighter jets that took off, let alone.
They are indeed plentiful, and can deal considerable damage when close to a battleship.
But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, they have to be close. They are useless if they are separated by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of kilometers.
And without the cover of warships, it's not easy to get close to a fleet that is at least Crusader class.
What's more, their level is not very high, and they are generally revenge level. Even if they fly at the fastest speed, in the radar of the reconnaissance ship, that is about the same as the speed of a turtle.
After intercepting the missiles, the Calamity and Khorne fleets began to intercept the fleet, all kinds of secondary guns were about to fire, and from the beginning to the end, these fighter planes were not allowed to break through to the range of ten kilometers of the fleet.
If the marauders continue to rush forward without fear of life and death, trying to kill hundreds of thousands, they may have a chance to touch Beiliang's fleet.
After all, no matter how fierce the battleship is, its firepower is limited, and the secondary battery can easily be overloaded if it fires continuously for a long time.
It's a pity that the predators didn't have the courage to face death as home. The reason why they dared to charge at the beginning was because they relied on a lot.
After half or even 70% of the death had no effect, they couldn't stand it anymore, and began to collapse, fleeing in all directions.
No matter how the person in charge of the planet shouted and warned, they did not return to the battlefield.
After all, in their minds, it's not worth losing their lives for that little salary.
Chen Han didn't care about these scattered deserters, and ordered the fleet to continue to press down, and began to look for areas on the ground where a large number of mechas were deployed.
Following an order, the missile launchers of the two fleets of Beiliang were activated at the same time, and missiles of different specifications were pushed out like free money. In just ten seconds, more than 2,000 missiles were blasted out, overwhelming the predator's defense line. "Cleaning" a round.
No mecha can withstand this level of firepower, and it will instantly turn into wreckage. The fatal pilot can escape from the safety cabin, and the unlucky one can only become a mummy.
After killing a batch, the Calamity and Khorne fleets began to split up again, specifically looking for areas on the planet where there are a large number of mecha defenses, or around cities. When they encounter them, they will be bombarded, and the predators seem to be baptized.
In less than half a day, they let alone killed nearly 70% of the predator's mechs, and the exact number was beyond count.
In the end, the person in charge of this planet also found that Beiliang seemed to have no intention of destroying the city, so he withdrew the remaining mechas to each city, looking like he was going to stick to the end.
Facing the predator's sloppy defense, Chen Han was not in a hurry, and directly let the Calamity and Khorne fleets retreat and return to the star port above.
It's not that they don't have a way to break the situation, but that after this period of massacre, the fleet is too worn out and has no ammunition, so it is in urgent need of supplies.
In the control room on the top floor of Xinggang, Chen Han and Mu Qianye were sipping steaming cup noodles at the conference table in the middle, standing one by one and sitting very close to each other.
As the commander of the fleet, they have been fighting one after another in recent days, and they hardly eat much, which really starved them to death.
There are also a group of artificial technicians who are busy working around, and they can get familiar with all this as quickly as possible, so that the starport can operate normally.
"This planet and star port don't seem to have a name yet, let's choose one." Mu Qianye gracefully put down the plastic fork, suddenly raised his head, and glanced at Chen Han who was still crazily sucking noodles.
Although the Xinggang was taken down, they didn't even know their names, which is a bit unreasonable, and she didn't want to use the name given by the predators.
"They're all planets of predators, so let's call them looting stars." Chen Han raised his head, paused, said something vaguely, and then buried his head back into the bowl.
