Chapter 461: Chosen as the target of attack due to its large size
The aircraft turned with difficulty amidst the hail of bullets and sped towards the aircraft carrier.
Su Nian stared at the display screen. The flashing red dots on it indicated that tracking shells were coming from behind.
"The tracking shells are approaching!" Su Nian warned loudly.
Cheng Yi quickly adjusted the mecha's defense system, trying to interfere with the tracking signals of the shells, but the shells seemed to have identified their targets and locked onto them.
"The interference doesn't work!" Zhao Yan shouted anxiously with sweat on his forehead.
Ye Yao gritted her teeth and controlled the aircraft to accelerate towards the reef.
When the aircraft was only a few meters away from the reef, Ye Yao suddenly flipped sideways, and the aircraft narrowly passed by the edge of the reef. At the same time, the tracking shells hit the reef directly, and with a loud "bang", flames shot up into the sky, the reef was blown to pieces, and debris flew everywhere.
"That was a close call!" Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief. But before they could recover, another wave of tracking shells arrived.
"Keep looking for cover!" Chu Feng commanded calmly. Cheng Yi quickly searched the surrounding terrain and shouted, "There are a group of small islands in front of the left, maybe we can use them!"
The aircraft rushed towards the group of small islands, shuttling back and forth between them.
Shells continued to explode on the island, raising clouds of dust and water.
Relying on their superb driving skills and close coordination, they made the tracking shells crash into the island time and time again, but the aircraft was also shaky in the fierce dodging process and the energy consumption increased sharply. However, they had no way out and could only try their best to move towards the aircraft carrier and start a thrilling life-and-death battle with the deadly tracking shells.
Zhao Yan's eyes widened with anger. He punched the bulkhead next to him and cursed: "Damn it! We've already flown back, but these bastards on the aircraft carrier are still bombarding us with shells. They want to beat us to death. Do they have any humanity at all?"
Zhang Meng's face flushed red, veins popped out on his neck, and he shouted, "They are just a bunch of mad dogs! We are already desperately trying to get back, but they are still wasting their shells on us. Don't they know how to conserve their strength?"
"When I get the chance, I will let them know the price of doing this!"
Cheng Yi was so angry that he stamped his feet. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. He spat, "These idiots! There are so many variables in this examination room. They will get their comeuppance sooner or later!"
After enduring a life-and-death flight of 20 minutes, the aircraft finally landed thrillingly on the deck of the aircraft carrier.
Everyone jumped off their mechas and aircraft and stepped onto the deck of the aircraft carrier.
More than a hundred mechas were scattered around, and they had no time to look elsewhere. They rushed straight to the depths of the aircraft carrier, as if looking for something key in order to reverse the situation.
The test watch suddenly vibrated violently, and an official message appeared clearly:
"Notice!
The location information of the aircraft carrier is now officially disclosed.
At this moment, the coordinate data of the 50 aircraft carriers in the examination room have been integrated.
With the help of the holographic display function of the test watch, the position of each aircraft carrier can be viewed, which is marked as a blue dot.
The blue dot will change in real time to reflect the dynamics of the aircraft carrier.
This is a completely new situation and a major test of your strategic adaptability and decision-making capabilities.
I hope all candidates will adjust their action plans in a timely manner based on this information.”
As soon as the news spread, the students started talking about it.
"What's the use of updating the position of the aircraft carrier? Can we blow it up? Our mechas have very few shells, but the aircraft carrier has endless ones, and there are tracking guns. We are exhausted just trying to dodge those shells!" complained a classmate.
"That's right. So what if we know our position? We can only hide within the range of the aircraft carrier. After all, they can see our position." Another classmate echoed, his words full of helplessness and anxiety. Everyone was confused and pondering about this new variable.
Su Nian quickly calculated in his mind that the aircraft carrier was equipped with various powerful artillery, pulse stun guns, continuous flame cannons, and terrifying tracking light bombs.
Among them, the one with the longest range is the interstellar shuttle, which can cross the vast abyss of the universe and its maximum range can reach as far as the radius of the first planet.
You should know that the first planet is 250 million times the size of the Earth. Considering the Earth's radius of about 6371 kilometers, the radius of the first planet is beyond imagination. Its circumference is 2xπxr.
This means that with the help of interstellar shuttles, the strike range of an aircraft carrier covers almost the unimaginable vast universe.
In this vast expanse, many planets rely on aircraft carriers for garrison. Those aircraft carriers are like steel behemoths in the universe, hovering or cruising quietly. Their powerful firepower networks crisscross and guard the safety and order of the planets at all times, and do not allow any threats to approach easily.
Fortunately, each aircraft carrier is only equipped with 3 interstellar shuttles!
Chu Feng and Su Nian knew very well that the launch of an interstellar shuttle required the commander's authorization. In this test situation, they had no choice but to crack it themselves!
The two quickly came to the control center of the interstellar shuttle. Chu Feng's eyes were determined, and his fingers moved quickly on the operating interface, trying to dismantle the layers of nested authorization encryption programs!
Su Nian was concentrating on the task, his brain working rapidly. With his rich knowledge and keen insight, he provided Chu Feng with key clues to the logic of the code from time to time. The two seemed to be racing against time in a digital maze.
Zhang Kuang, Zhang Meng, Ye Yao, Cheng Yi and Zhao Yan did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Zhang Kuang and Zhang Meng stood on the turret of the aircraft carrier, staring at the radar screen with sharp eyes. As the coordinates were made public, shells whizzed in from all directions like raindrops, including tracking light bombs and pulse shock cannons.
They skillfully operated the artillery system, adjusting the shooting angle and strength. Each shot was accompanied by violent vibrations of the gun body and dazzling flames, intercepting and destroying the incoming shells in mid-air.
Ye Yao was guarding the monitoring room, surrounded by densely flashing screens. She stared at the data and monitoring images without blinking, not missing any corner where danger might be lurking. From time to time, she loudly reported the direction, speed and type of the shells, providing accurate shooting guidance for Zhang Kuang and Zhang Meng.
Cheng Yi was in the core area of the aircraft carrier's defense system, closely monitoring the operating status of the automatic bulletproof system.
When a shell breaks through the fire network and approaches, the automatic bulletproof system will respond quickly and launch an interception barrage.
Cheng Yi is always ready to intervene manually when the system fails or faces a powerful attack, ensuring that the aircraft carrier's last line of defense is indestructible.
Zhao Yan was like the brain center of the entire team, constantly conveying instructions on the communication channel and coordinating the pace of action of all parties.
He knew very well that although ordinary artillery shells could hardly cause fundamental damage to an aircraft carrier, the interstellar shuttle had the power to deliver a fatal blow!
Since they can think of cracking the interstellar shuttle, other teams that have occupied the aircraft carrier earlier are very likely to be close to success. Once an interstellar shuttle is launched towards them, all members will face elimination!
Therefore, while they were doing their best to resist the artillery attacks, they always regarded guarding against interstellar shuttles as the top priority, and were always alert to any abnormal signals that might appear on the radar. They were as nervous as a string and dared not relax at all!
In the tense atmosphere, the ultra-precision detection radar system on the aircraft carrier suddenly issued a sharp alarm and the warning lights flashed wildly.
The expressions of the people on the bridge suddenly changed, and they hurriedly looked at the monitoring screen, only to see a high-speed moving light spot coming rapidly from the distant coordinates (8000, 6000, 4000) towards the direction of (3000, 1000, 500). It was an interstellar shuttle launched by an aircraft carrier!
At the same time, when checking the students’ location information through the test watch, it was found that the aircraft carrier at the coordinates (3000, 1000, 500) was densely packed with red dots representing students. A rough estimate was that there were nearly 500 red dots!
It was obvious that this was a heavily manned aircraft carrier that was chosen for its large size!!!
