2589. The end of "Eye" (Part 2)

After detecting the existence of Destruction battleship, the Eye of Palpatine immediately woke up like a wild beast!

It began to accelerate and move towards the Destruction battleship! At the same time, every turret on it began to fire wildly!

The Eye of Palpatine is like an unshakable mountain range, charging forward!

No, mountain ranges are an understatement. Because even the highest mountain range on Blue Star is less than half of it!

In less than 5 minutes, the Eye of Palpatine rushed out from the countless explosions and flames... unscathed!

Hundreds of thousands of induced air mines did not harm it at all!

Particle Beam Lance continued to illuminate, but more than 200 meters away from the Eye of Palpatine, a light blue light curtain suddenly appeared. The light curtain continued to produce violent energy ripples under the illumination of Particle Beam Lance. Deflector Shield! And it is Deflector Shield supported by three Executor-class Super Star Destroyer level reactors!

Countless attacks fell on the Eye of Palpatine, but its speed did not slow down at all.

Not only that, after continuously withstanding attacks, the Eye of Palpatine also responded immediately and began evasive movements with unimaginable flexibility for its huge body. This kind of action made attacks like Particle Beam Lance fail a lot.

The distance between the two sides has been continuously shortened from 5 light minutes to 4 light minutes. Most of the attack methods at this distance are not very accurate. Particle Beam Lance is already the best. However, the exchange of fire between them was still extremely fierce.

The conventional firepower of the Eye of Palpatine is mainly concentrated on the Group Four Turbolaser cannon array on the flank of the battleship, while the firepower directly in front is mainly the Super-Focused Laser cannon, and the range of the laser cannon is not far, so in the exchange of fire at this distance, the Eye of Palpatine is basically being beaten on one side.

But even so, its progress did not stop at all. In other words, the long-range firepower of an entire fleet of Kingdom of Dawn is completely insufficient to threaten its super-strong shield!

When the distance between the two sides was 3 light minutes, Swarm II Drones, which took off early, finally arrived at the position of the Eye of Palpatine. Tens of thousands of drones attacked the super battleship frantically. The plasma laser cannon fires continuously. The small beam seems insignificant, but with the help of the long-range energy transmission system, it has firepower far exceeding that of ordinary fighter jets.

A laser beam is extremely tiny, but tens of thousands of beams are continuously emitted, immediately completely illuminating the universe around the Eye of Palpatine!

But... the progress doesn't stop!

Cold sweat has begun to flow from Lin Nanyi's forehead. From the beginning of the war to now, the Eye of Palpatine has endured the indiscriminate bombardment for more than an hour! But there were no signs of damage at all!

Can it still be stopped?

According to the logic of its previous behavior, it is likely to turn around and leave after destroying the wreckage of Destruction battleship. And if you let it go this time, there won't be such a good opportunity next time.

If you really let such a super battleship run around within your control, the consequences will be disastrous!!

Lin Nanyi couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to have his fleet dispatched in advance. But he hesitated as soon as he raised his hand halfway... He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, closed his mouth and did not give any more combat instructions. Instead, let the fleet continue to act according to the established policy.

Kingdom of Dawn fleet After this adjustment and upgrade, it currently basically presents a three-level command mechanism. The highest level is Fleet Commander, which sits on the flagship and provides overall command.

The second level belongs to the former enemy command. This is a newly added first-level command level, with Aiken II-class command cruiser as the core for command. Aiken II-class was originally an armed colonial ship with very average firepower and protection. However, in order to coordinate colonial operations and the operations of other warships, Aiken II-class was equipped with powerful communication systems and sensors, and was also equipped with the most advanced battlefield analysis system.

Therefore, Kingdom of Dawn Navy, who originally had no interest in colonial ships, decided to transform Aiken II-class into a secondary command ship. This transformation was very successful. Aiken II-class is now responsible for the former enemy command in Kingdom of Dawn fleet, coordinating squadron operations on a regional basis.

The third level is the previous Sky Blue-class command ship. The relatively backward Sky Blue-class command ship is now mainly responsible for the combat command of more specific tactical formations.

In this battle to hunt down the Eye of Palpatine, Kingdom of Dawn fleet was divided into four squadrons, each of which was commanded by a Aiken II-class command cruiser. Lin Nanyi This time, he decided to trust his junior officers.

Swarm II Drones soon ran out of energy and began to return. Now the Eye of Palpatine is only 2 light minutes away from the wreckage of Destruction battleship!

At this time, Lin Nanyi saw that the surroundings became obviously brighter.

The squadrons have begun to open fire with all their strength! Yamato Cannon for Minotaur-class Heavy Cruiser, Fire Cloud Missile for Martha II-class missile heavy cruiser, Javelin Missile for Javelin-class missile frigate. There are even 50 Ogre-class Siege Cruiser aiming at the Eye of Palpatine and launching Super-heavy Proton Torpedo!

With an industrial planet at its back, even Ogre-class Siege Cruiser can get nearly unlimited supplies. So they kept firing Super-heavy Proton Torpedo in an extremely luxurious way. Even if one was lucky enough to hit, it would cause serious damage!

Countless transport ships began to shuttle between Kubindi planet and the fleet, transporting various supplies to the fleet.

In the middle of the fleet formation, Typhoon-class battlecruiser also began to launch Phase missile!

The fleet brought by Lin Nanyi includes 20 Typhoon class, plus the 15 ships from the original fleet of General Grievous, for a total of 35 ships. And this time, Vasari took out almost all of their Phase missile inventory without reservation.

After completing the research and development of Phase missile, Vasari is frantically expanding its production line. They dispatched Phase Engineer consultants to several of Kingdom of Dawn's most important industrial zones, with the goal of replacing more than 80% of the conventional missiles in Kingdom of Dawn Navy with Phase missile!

With this order alone, if Vasari were to establish a company, it would be at the forefront of the galaxy within a few years. However, they were not interested in setting up a company, they just centralized and nationalized management of the factory.

Countless Phase missile were launched among more conventional missiles. The Eye of Palpatine's point defense firepower fired wildly, intercepting a large number of missiles. But at this time, because among the countless missiles were Super-heavy Proton Torpedo launched by Ogre-class Siege Cruiser, the Eye of Palpatine focused its interception on Proton Torpedo.

However, this improved Super-heavy Proton Torpedo has Deflector Shield installed! Even though this shield is not very strong, it is more than enough to face Point Defense System! Therefore, the Eye of Palpatine had to invest more firepower to intercept.

So at this time, other missiles collided with each other, leaving countless violent explosions on the Eye of Palpatine and Deflector Shield! The missile is far more powerful than the Turbolaser cannon, and the explosion is more violent!

The Fire Cloud Missile equipped by Martha II-class missile heavy cruiser left behind a large radiation cloud after the explosion. These radiation clouds will not trigger Deflector Shield and can directly damage the rock formations of the Eye of Palpatine.

However, the special rock formation directly isolated Fire Cloud Missile's radiation cloud and was unable to cause any harm at all!

At the same time, Phase missile also flew over. Several thousand meters away from the Eye of Palpatine, the phase bomb in the missile exploded instantly, creating a small phase field and allowing the missile to instantly enter the phase space. When the effect of the phase bomb disappeared and the missile reappeared, it had already passed Deflector Shield and appeared on the outer rock structure of the Eye of Palpatine.

Countless explosions exploded on the rock layer, and Shale suddenly flew away.

Even though quite a few Phase missile failed to penetrate the shield, they still continued to bombard the Eye of Palpatine.

The distance between the two sides is 1 light minute!

At this time, inside the Eye of Palpatine, an extremely dazzling light suddenly lit up around the huge mechanical eyeball! The extremely huge core host at the core of the battleship began to run wildly, and extremely powerful electromagnetic waves began to spread instantly!!

Electronic interference!

Almost all the missiles in the surrounding area failed, either flying towards the void of the universe or turning into a pile of scrap metal.

At the same time, piercing sirens came from almost every battleship in Kingdom of Dawn fleet!

"The firewall has been attacked! Electronic equipment has been interfered with!" the adjutant shouted.

"Start the electronic countermeasures plan!!" Lin Nanyi said loudly.

In fact, these warships are okay. Twinblade-class EW light cruiser and Sentry-class Electronic Warfare Frigate, who are responsible for electronic countermeasures in the entire fleet, were directly hit by electronic interference! Countless fires burst out from the systems of many electronic warfare warships and were severely damaged!

At the same time, both the firing efficiency and accuracy of the entire Kingdom of Dawn fleet plummeted, and the missiles were even unable to get close! Whether it was Phase missile or a conventional missile, it turned into useless iron rods under the influence of electronic interference shortly after launch.

The fighter formation simply did not dare to take off! Almost all former enemies Commander believe that taking off a fighter jet under such electronic interference is tantamount to seeking death!

This time the confrontation can only be left to the battleship!

The Eye of Palpatine is still moving forward, Deflector Shield is still strong, and there is no sign of being penetrated.

"General!" The adjutant came over, gritted his teeth, shook his head and said, "No! Our side is completely at a disadvantage in electronic countermeasures! Each ship can almost only protect itself! The electronic warfare warships were seriously damaged!"

"The electronic interference of a super battleship directly suppressed our entire fleet?" Lin Nanyi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. The Eye of Palpatine and super AI combined with super energy, the result is an almost invincible electronic countermeasures capability!

That is to say, Swarm II Drones of Consul-class aircraft carrier uses Force control, which is not affected by electronic countermeasures. But the first wave of attacks just now showed that Swarm II Drones's attack power was simply unable to shake the Eye of Palpatine.

If the problem of electronic countermeasures cannot be solved, and without the attack of missiles and fighter jets, the offensive capability of Kingdom of Dawn fleet will be greatly reduced! By then, we don't know whether we can ensure that the Eye of Palpatine is destroyed before the wreckage of Destruction is completely blown to pieces!

Lin Nanyi decisively issued the order, "Command all Durov-class Battlecruiser to turn around immediately and use all your strength to strengthen Twinblade-class EW light cruiser!!"

The adjutant's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't expect that Dunov Class could be used in this way. He quickly responded, "Yes! Deploy it immediately!"

Dunov Class is generally used to assist the main battleships in the fleet, such as Divinity-class battleship, such as Titan warship. Dunov Class's advanced energy transmission system can increase the auxiliary object's engine power, replenish shield energy, increase the firing speed, and more.

But now, Lin Nanyi has taken a different approach and asked Dunov Class to assist the electronic warfare warship to enhance its own electronic countermeasures capabilities!

Although the electromagnetic environment on the battlefield is already very bad, even communications have been affected. But at least the fleet command has not been interrupted, and Lin Nanyi's instructions have been implemented.

With the reinforcements of all 10 Durov-class Battlecruisers, the 40 Twinblade-class EW light cruisers in the fleet were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and engage in electronic confrontation with the Eye of Palpatines with a more powerful energy level.

But this is still not enough.

Lin Nanyi continued to make arrangements for the land-based system on Kubindi planet to join in and launch a powerful EMP to counter the electronic interference of the Eye of Palpatine.

At this time, he also understood how wise it was for General Grievous to choose the battlefield at Kubindi planet. Judging from the current battle situation, if he really takes the initiative and runs to Targon Planet for a decisive battle with the Eye of Palpatine, I don't know who will lose or win, but what is certain is that the Eye of Palpatine will definitely not be able to retain it. If it wants to run away, it cannot be intercepted at all!

Lin Nanyi turned around and asked, "How is the situation Doomsday Battlefield class?"

T-series tactical robot, who was standing on the other side of him to assist the commander, immediately replied, "Two test firings have been carried out. Doomsday Battlefield class's EMP system cannot penetrate the rock formations of the Eye of Palpatine and has no effect."

Lin Nanyi's face darkened as he stared at the holographic battle star map.

Now Swarm II Drones has launched the third wave of attacks, but the Eye of Palpatine simply ignores these flies and just keeps moving forward.

And at this time, the Turbolaser gun array on the Eye of Palpatine had begun to fire at the wreckage of Destruction battleship! The sensor also detected the energy accumulation, and the Super-Focused Laser at the front of the Eye of Palpatine was charging!

There is no doubt that Consul-class aircraft carrier cannot be stopped at all!

Lin Nanyi slammed his fist on the console, and the hollow plastic plate made an imposing loud noise. He said loudly, "Notify all squadrons, all Hell-Angel Class Battlecruisers are dispatched, assault to the shortest distance, and launch Disintegration Beams!"
