It is very common to use missiles to deal with mecha warriors, but the sight of using a large number of medium-range missiles to deal with one mecha warrior has been rare in the nearly two decades since the emergence of mecha warriors.

"The missile model is the Empire 2075-b supersonic medium-range missile, with a maximum range of 2,500 kilometers, a maximum cruising altitude of 160 kilometers, a hit accuracy of 50 meters, a maximum cruising speed of Mach 2.27, and a current cruising speed of Mach 1.93. The estimated strike time is thirty-six

Minutes and thirty-two seconds, the number is...one hundred."

This number has left many people speechless.

In fact, for this war that has lasted for more than 20 years, one hundred medium-range missiles can be described as a drop in the bucket. The number of missiles used in a local war may exceed this number.

The so-called supersonic missiles are actually very common on alien planets. Many missiles on the Azure Star that cannot reach supersonic speeds can easily reach supersonic speeds when used on alien planets. This is the atmosphere of the alien planets.

Determined by the environment.

But when the target of these one hundred missiles was just a mecha warrior, it was enough to shock everyone.

But everyone can understand this behavior of the empire.

The Empire 2075-b supersonic medium-range missile is the Empire missile that first appeared on the alien battlefield in 2075. According to estimates, the cost of a single missile of this kind is no less than 10 million federal coins, converted into Empire dollars.

The resources may theoretically be less because the empire is a feudal monarchy.

One hundred coins is roughly one billion.

The cost of a single Imperial mecha that was defeated by Ji Xinghe in this pursuit battle is estimated to be at least equivalent to 35,000 federal coins. This is the cost of a conventional Imperial mecha, and noble mechas are even more expensive.

After the comprehensive upgrade, the total cost of Xingyue exceeded 120 million.

There are 191 in total. Not taking into account the higher cost of the noble mechas, based on the cost of conventional imperial mechas, it has already exceeded 6.6 billion.

6.6 billion have already been destroyed, and the mecha corps worth at least 4 billion will be destroyed. What's the problem with investing another billion?

"If these missiles hit the heads of our ground troops..."

Many people feel lucky that the empire's money is not endless. If you spend more here, you will definitely have to spend less elsewhere.

When the technological levels of both sides are close, the war is actually not about troops, but about money, or more strictly speaking, resources.

Whoever has more resources will have more firepower.

When faced with countless missiles, no matter how many ground troops you have, it will be in vain.

"Are we able to intercept?"

"We can't intercept it, we need to apply for higher authority support."

In the war situation center of the Xinyue Fox space battleship, relevant personnel have contacted the general command center of the Nantianmen Space Station.

"There are three plans."

Although there are still more than thirty minutes left, it is already very urgent. The Nantianmen Command Center came up with three sets of plans at the first time.

"First, immediately attack the Imperial Mecha Corps chasing Major Ji Xinghe. They must have the ability to accurately guide these missiles. As long as they are destroyed, with the top speed of Major Ji Xinghe's mecha, they can completely avoid all missiles.

missile."

"Tell me about the problems with this plan."

"We are currently unable to determine what technical means the Imperial Mecha Corps uses to carry out precise guidance. If it is the Marquis-class Imperial Mecha, our aerial firepower strikes will be difficult to guarantee that it will be destroyed."

"Tell me the second plan."

"The second option is to launch a comprehensive interception program. We can deploy three space battleships to provide support and activate four hidden missile launch bases that can implement interception. After calculation, the interception rate is only 92%."

"Tell me about the problems with this plan."

"It will expose our missile launch base, and we are not sure what kind of warheads these 100 imperial missiles are equipped with. If it is a high-explosive warhead that has appeared before, that is, it is equipped with 200 small-caliber high-explosive warheads,

Combined with its own guidance system, it can carry out a second precision strike within a radius of one kilometer of the target, with a very high hit rate. If the interception fails, Major Ji Xinghe's sacrifice rate will be very high."

"What if these two plans are carried out at the same time?"

"It can be done at the same time, but we cannot solve the root of the problem, that is, we cannot guarantee the complete destruction of the precision guidance capabilities of the Imperial Mecha Corps and cannot guarantee the interception of all missiles."

"The third option."

"Let the Xinyue Fox land forcefully and take Major Ji Xinghe away."

"question."

"The problem is that the Imperial Mecha Corps is very close to Major Ji Xinghe. They have missile launchers, Marquis-class mechas, and Count-class mechas. If the Xinyue Fox lands forcefully, it is likely to suffer a fatal blow.

"

There were mecha warriors in the Xinyue Fox space battleship, but when the dust storm dissipated and they came for support, they did not land and send out mecha warriors to help Ji Xinghe fight the group. This is because of this.

If the problem can be solved with firepower, why should the mecha warriors have to fight to the death?

Both the cost of the mecha and the lives of the mecha warriors are more valuable than the short-range and medium-range missiles used in fire attacks.

The truly expensive missiles are intercontinental missiles. Each one costs more than 100 million federal coins and has a range of more than 10,000 kilometers. Any location on the alien surface is within the strike range.

However, in such a battle, it is impossible and unnecessary to use intercontinental missiles.

The staff members discussed nervously.

The technician reminded: "If the comprehensive interception program is launched within five minutes, the success rate can be maintained at 92%. If it exceeds five minutes, the interception success rate will plummet."

It is difficult to discuss any effective results at this time, and it involves an active ace mecha warrior. If there is a misjudgment, the consequences will be unbearable and unbearable by many people.

The number of active ace mecha warriors in the Federation finally increased to ten, and the curse was broken. If Ji Xinghe died, this curse would have a very serious impact on the mecha warriors of the Federation.

A lieutenant general who temporarily took over command made a decision.

"Order the Xinyue Fox to fire immediately and destroy all the vehicles of the Imperial Mecha Corps that are chasing Major Ji Xinghe."

A staff officer reminded: "But if the Xinyue Fox launches an artillery attack, the role they can provide in the subsequent interception of missiles will be reduced. Moreover, our comprehensive interception plan will be affected, and the success rate will be significantly reduced.

.”

"Then do you have a better way?"

"..."

The lieutenant general confirmed his order: "Xinyue Fox, fire immediately."

Five seconds after the order was issued, the Xinyue Fox, which had been prepared for a long time, opened fire. Thirty-nine seconds after the order was issued, the first round of artillery fire had already hit behind Ji Xinghe.

The Imperial Mecha Corps, which hurriedly launched anti-missile missiles, could not intercept all the artillery fire under this speed of attack.

Rumble…

A loud noise spread and the earth trembled.

Ji Xinghe, who was running wildly, saw that the mecha corps behind him had been submerged in the dust, as if a dust storm had reappeared.

But soon, one after another, the Imperial mechas smashed through the flying dust and continued to pursue Ji Xinghe's location.

"All enemy vehicles have been destroyed, and the number of remaining mechas is ninety-eight."

"The trajectory of the 2075-b Imperial missile has been corrected again. It can be determined that the enemy's precision guidance system is on those mechas."

"The Xinyue Fox is still unable to complete the landing. The time between landing and takeoff is enough for the imperial mecha to get close to the Xinyue Fox and launch an attack."

"Apply for a second fire strike."

The second round of artillery strikes came down quickly, but had little effect. The high-speed moving Imperial mecha was difficult to hit, just like the previous Imperial artillery shells could not hit Ji Xinghe.

The lieutenant general once again ordered: "Initiate a comprehensive interception immediately."

"yes."

The three space battleships flew through space at a speed faster than the missiles, and then launched interceptor missiles based on the calculated missile trajectories.

There are also four missile launch bases that were previously deployed by the Federation along the Imperial missile trajectory and had been hidden for many years without being activated or discovered. They were also activated during this interception operation.

Compared to the value of Ji Galaxy, even if these four missile launch bases were discovered by the empire, the Federation would still make a profit.

The dual anti-missile systems from the sky and the ground controlled hundreds of anti-missile missiles to fly towards a hundred imperial missiles.

More than 1,300 kilometers away from the Ji Galaxy and at an altitude of 153 kilometers from the ground, six Imperial medium-range missiles were successfully intercepted first. They failed to fly to the predetermined coordinates and exploded in the alien sky. The debris would not cause any damage.

Any casualties, as the ground is empty.

"The scheduled strike time was 30 minutes, and the number of uninterrupted missiles was 94."

"The scheduled strike time was 29 minutes, and 90 missiles were not intercepted."

"The scheduled strike time was 23 minutes, and 65 missiles were not intercepted."

"..."

"The scheduled strike time was ten minutes, and thirty missiles were not intercepted."

The interception efficiency is very low, but this is not because the Federation's relevant technology is backward, but because the empire's target this time is not the defense focus of the Federation's anti-missile system.

It can even be said to be a defensive blank area of ​​​​the anti-missile system. If Ji Xinghe had not become an ace mecha warrior, his status is no longer the same. There would never be three space battleships racing in space to intercept and support.

.

Located on this section of the road, the missile launch base that the Federation spent unknown amounts of resources to hide will not be activated for this reason.

By the same token, if Ji Xinghe had not been powerful enough, the empire would not have provided medium-range missiles as fire support again after sending a mecha corps to pursue it.

It’s not just a matter of cost, but also an issue of efficiency.
