Idle game leads to another world

Chapter 716: Full speed ahead

It seemed that pieces of meteorites were hitting his face like a heavy rain. Li Chengqi flexibly pushed the joystick, and the Manta Ray shuttled through the meteorites forming a star ring. It seemed very thrilling.

In fact, as far as Li Chengqi himself is concerned, it's not bad.

It looks like a meteorite is coming, but it is actually approaching at high speed. The difference between the two is that the latter will not move randomly.

Coupled with the wide viewing angle, it is not actually a matter of reaction to dodge, but before avoiding a meteorite, Li Chengqi has already seen the route to avoid the next five or more meteorites.

It reminded him of the pure joy of entering an arcade for the first time as a child and seeing someone playing Star Fox.

Just at this time, the death heavy metal in the playlist was finished, and the song "Flight Between the Stars" was randomly played, which really suited the occasion.

Of course, diving into the star ring is not simply about taking advantage of the situation.

The star ring composed of countless meteorites is a natural trench, which can perfectly resist the anti-aircraft fire of starships.

Although it was air-defense and anti-aircraft defense, it could not withstand the intensive firepower. Compared with dodging artillery shells, Li Chengqi thought it was easier to avoid meteorites.

Noting that the Manta entered the star ring, the three twin secondary battery turrets below the starship rotated and positioned. But the beam they fired couldn't even touch the side of the Manta.

Because there is no captain's authority, the fire control of the secondary battery can only be controlled by hand.

The void is too wide and too dark, and it is impossible to target the Manta in this situation, unless you have the ability to shoot mosquitoes with a cannon.

Since there were no subtitles in the cutscenes, Li Chengqi could only tell from body language that Alyssa had escaped from the starship, and did not know the whole story.

However, this did not affect his feeling that the people on the bridge would feel terrible.

"Slow down! Slow down!"

——Alyssa is also terrible.

This is Li Chengqi's third-person rear-end collision perspective, and what he sees is high-definition pixel style, and the sense of oppression is really not very strong.

But Alyssa was sitting in the cab, and the pressure was too strong. She always felt like she would be hit by a meteorite in the next second.

It can even be said that compared to straightforward death, this feeling of wanting to die but not succeeding is the most disgusting feeling.

As for slowing down?

It is impossible to slow down, and nothing can be done to slow down.

Ever since Li Chengqi touched the handle, he kept pressing the trigger button of the accelerator and never let go, always moving forward at full speed.

It’s not that there’s any tactical need, it’s just that the throttle is full.

But for Alyssa, the operation of welding the door shut and pulling the accelerator to full was too bad, and she fainted.

It was a good thing for Li Chengqi that she didn't speak. After all, when Alyssa spoke, the dialog box blocked the bottom of the screen, which was somewhat disturbing.

His attention was basically not on Alyssa. He gently pushed the joystick and pressed the RB button with his right hand to bring up the ability disk.

The starship's anti-aircraft fire no longer poses a threat. It depends on whether those space fighters are willing to pursue them.

"Echo 1 calls Falcon, you can retreat, we will take over from now on."

"Falcon Call Echo 1, that's our prey!"

"It's obvious that you are the prey, so don't show off."

"What did you say!"

An angry roar and the sound of keyboard smashing came from the communication channel, but Hall, codenamed Echo 1, pretended not to hear it.

Most of two squadrons were slaughtered by a shuttle, and you have the nerve to say that they were prey?

Although they are peers, Echo and Falcon belong to different recyclers, so there is no need to save any face.

Hall just gave the notification and then pressed a few buttons to change the channel:

"Echo 1 informs the whole team, be careful, this is not someone to be trifled with."

It's one thing not to save face for your colleagues, but you can't underestimate your opponents. The Falcon Squadron has many veterans, not just trash. Some of them even retired from the regular army. Even they were beaten badly. Of course you have to be careful.

"Echo 3 calls Echo 1. The radar shows that the target has entered the star ring. What should I do? Do you want to continue chasing?"

Echo 3 is a specialized radar machine that can track targets farther and more accurately than others.

"The captain's order is to destroy the shuttle. Let's pursue it."

After the announcement, Hall pressed the operating lever and plunged into the asteroid belt that formed the star ring. Others in the squadron also followed suit.

Flying into the star ring may seem like suicide, but the subject of avoiding meteorites is a required test for pilots in the regular army. Hall is confident that he can lead his squadron into the star ring and come out intact.

Immediately, the voice of his teammates came from the communication channel:

"Echo 5 calls Echo 1 for visual sight of the target engine light...he's too fast!"

"Impossible! Why can't I catch up! It's obviously just a shuttle!"

"Echo 3 calls Echo 1. The target data analysis has been completed and will be sent to the entire team."

Engine light analysis showed that the target engine was not registered and was not a popular model. According to the briefing before departure, this shuttle was brought back from the ruins. It was normal that there was no record.

But the point is data.

All the data of this shuttle are very ordinary, with no advantages or disadvantages. It is an all-rounder, but it can also be said that it is not good at everything.

The Manta is a general-purpose shuttle that can be used to carry a small number of passengers. It also has self-defense weapons and shields, and can also use the tail cabin to pull cargo.

And this general-purpose shuttle is definitely not as good as a professional space fighter in terms of combat capability.

Speed, engine power, rotation performance, rolling performance, directivity, etc., are far inferior to military space fighters in all aspects. The only thing that is better than space fighters is that the shield is slightly stronger.

This is because space fighters have specialized speed and flexibility to the limit, and protection is not very important in comparison. It is only used to bounce off small meteorites or fragments.

This is also why the Manta Ray can only kill one with one shot, while the space fighter's continuous fire weapon only reduces the shield when hitting the Manta Ray.

It's normal. No one requires a small manned spacecraft like a shuttle to engage in fierce armor-piercing confrontation. The real confrontation is also on the level of starships.

So speed and flexibility are the best life-saving talismans compared to protection.

But in this case, why can't our space fighter catch up even though it has better performance, even twice the data gap of that shuttle?

Hall glanced at the engine icon displayed on his screen.

"That shuttle didn't slow down at all. It was running at full speed all the time."

Even though crossing the star ring is a compulsory subject for military pilots, the requirement of this subject is just to pass safely, not speed.

Space fighters are too fast, and it is impossible to run at full speed when entering the star ring.

It's like when you see something on the road on the highway, you instinctively want to avoid it, but in the blink of an eye, the car has already hit the thing on the road.

With the space fighter moving at full speed, it is impossible for anyone to react and avoid the meteorite.

So after entering the star ring, the Echo Squadron always only flew at one-third of the speed, and couldn't even use half of the full speed.
