The wretched heir of the main god

"what happened?"

When all the people in the harbor had this idea, everyone who was looking up at the sky saw the rain of fire descending from the sky and destroying everything at the same time!

That was a vertical blow from outer space!

++++++

The Atlantic Alliance, which rushed to launch this war, made a fatal mistake from the beginning. From top to bottom, they forgot one very important thing: to destroy the enemy fleet, you don’t need to go through air combat. Clumsy means.

Before the war, the entire Earth Union, especially the upper layers of the Atlantic Alliance military, intentionally and unintentionally collectively forgot one thing: PLANT's greatest advantage is that they have height.

Height is potential energy!

Potential energy is energy!

And the potential energy height of tens of thousands of kilometers, itself is the most powerful nuclear bomb!

The weak Klein faction dare not use altitude as a nuclear weapon to threaten the earth unity.

But now PLANT is the Sara faction covering the sky with one hand, and Akafir, an absolutely rational evil, is behind the scenes.

After confirming that the main forces of the Zaft Space Force were basically assembled over Copernicus, the first, second, and third fleets of the Earth Joint Front entered the spaceport in the first time and were ready to launch into space.

In the past four months, the Atlantic Alliance military has received four more aircraft carriers. During the Zaft food crisis nearly two years ago, the Atlantic Alliance began its crazy armament.The government issued a large order for shipbuilding. At this point in time, the first batch of space warships was completed and put into service.The newly-built warships were quickly added to the three fleets, which brought their combat power to another level in a short time.

At this time, the Panamanian Cosmos Port has already gathered fleets. If you look down from the sky, there are as many as a swarm of warships.Covered with ocean surface near the port.Some of the warships have already docked on the side of the launch orbit, waiting to enter the orbit to accelerate the launch.

And at this time, thousands of kilometers of outer space above Barnabas.First, more than a dozen MA produced by the Atlantic Alliance appeared. They acted separately in space, first attacking the Earth’s joint reconnaissance satellites arranged here, and directly abolished the “eyes” of the Earth’s joint in this airspace.

In past battles, the Zaft military captured and recovered a large number of MAs repaired.Compared with MS, MA is small in size and light in weight, making it suitable for use as a one-off weapon for civilian cargo ships in space-taking into account the fact that there is no gravity and resistance in space.After completing the combat mission, these MAs can set the direction of travel, and the pilots can directly abandon the aircraft in space and let the recovery ship recover, and then the MA will fly back to the home port through computer autopilot, but this recovery cycle may require More than ten days.

In fact, this is what the Zaft army planned.

After destroying the reconnaissance satellites in outer space with the MA of the Great Western Alliance, a large number of modified special attack ships appeared in the sky soon.These special attack ships first forcibly landed in space, descending to low-Earth orbit, and then opened their abdomen toward the earth, exposing dense holes like honeycombs.

Then, a very short clear code without wires telegram spread in space.

"The hammer and chicken action begins!"

Chapter 62 Orbital Bombing

A big problem with the so-called strategic missiles launched on the earth is that a missile with a weight of more than ten tons or even dozens of tons, with a weight of more than 80%, is used to counter the powerful gravity, which is effective The weight of the "combat parts" is actually pitiful.

But when attacking directly from space to the ground, this problem does not exist at all.On the contrary, the gravity of the earth becomes the source of energy during orbital bombing.

Therefore, in the CE era, the three major rogue forces of the Earth united all attach great importance to the mastery of the "space power" in space.All have established their own space forces to protect their homeland from enemy orbital bombing.

Orbital bombing, in the eyes of the three major rogue forces, is second only to nuclear bombs, the second largest weapon of mass destruction, and it is "clean and pollution-free."At the moment when chain reaction was banned, it became the strongest weapon of mass destruction.

The vertical strike from outer space is the true face of today's action!In order to deceive others, Akafir deliberately named the action plan "Hammer and Cock", but judging from the results of the attack, this statement is equally relevant.

Strips of special metal rods flew out of the honeycomb holes in the abdomen of the orbital special attack ship, shooting like sharp arrows towards the Port of Panama on the ground.

The weight of each metal rod is more than five tons, and the tail is equipped with a booster rocket. When it is launched from a height of thousands of kilometers, it takes only a few minutes to reach the ground, including the acceleration of the earth’s gravity. Clearly, let me give you an approximate time).And the huge lethality brought by thousands of kilometers of potential energy transformed into kinetic energy, there is no shell of any warship or building in this world that can withstand this fatal blow from outer space.

These special attack ships, disguised as civilian ships, were secretly self-made by the Zaft military, and even concealed them from the pesky Klein faction.The weapon used by Zaft for orbital bombing is called the Sword of Upper Damocles by the military.

These metal rods used for orbital bombing have a special spiral shape, and their surface is wrapped with a special heat dissipation shell to prevent them from burning due to excessive temperature during the fall.

In order to improve the accuracy of the hit, the head is equipped with a guidance device, and the booster rocket at the tail has the effect of increasing the falling speed, and fine-tuning in the air with the wind wing mounted on the bomb body, and also correcting the orbit during the falling strike The role of.

A total of sixteen special attack ships participated in this "hammer and chicken" operation.The number of "Swords of Damocles" installed under the belly of each special attack ship ranges from two hundred fifty to three hundred.Sixteen special attack ships can throw more than four thousand "Swords of Damocles" at the earth at one time.

The target of this attack is the Panama Cosmic Harbor.

The Zaft military waited for several months, waiting for the moment when the warships gathered in the space port.

Three space fleets and two hundred large and small ships gathered here, arranged densely, are the best targets.

When countless swords of Damocles pierced the atmosphere and fell from the outer atmosphere more than 6,000 kilometers, without radar warning, mortals can see this terrorist force from outer space with the naked eye.

The scene of this artificially created meteor shower is spectacular.

Realizing that they were encountering an orbital bombing attack by the enemy, the United Earth Army immediately became a mess.

The sword of Damocles fell from a high altitude to the ground with a few minutes of warning time.However, two hundred warships gathered here, and within a few minutes, there was not enough time for them to disperse.What's more, these peerless weapons that have fallen from high altitudes have their own trajectory correction and target locking functions. They are weapons with automatic attack guidance capabilities. Their guidance methods fully consider the environment where today's radars are severely interfered. , The use of image television guidance means.

These space strikes from the outer atmosphere are like flaming arrows, piercing the clouds, and slamming into the bodies of the many warships that are docked at the center of the Barnabas Mass Accelerator.

Relying on the strong military production capacity during the half-year transformation, the biggest upgrade and transformation that the Atlantic Alliance has carried out to these space battleships is the installation of new PS armor.But the "Sword of Punishment" from space is simply not what ordinary PS armor can resist.

After accelerating thousands of kilometers, its own energy has reached a terrifying state.For every Atlantic Alliance warship that was directly hit, the PS armor of the hull was easily penetrated like an eggshell.Whether it’s an aircraft carrier, a cruiser destroyer, or a space aviation battleship (I don’t know what ship those battleships with positron guns and Gundams in the animation are classified into in the animation, let’s call this for the time being), I got this blow, luck Okay, it's just that the hull has an extra large hole through the hull and the structure is damaged.Even if it is just a seemingly small "through" hole, it is already a headache for warships that need to fight in the vacuum of space.A warship that has been hit by penetrating damage has its structure damaged. Even if it is repaired in the future, it is extremely dangerous to enter and exit the atmosphere for space operations.What's more terrible is that most of these warships are moored on the sea. After being penetrated, sea water floods in from the breach, causing short circuits, excessive water ingress, or even sinking. The consequences are not to mention.

This is still the least harm.

Many warships were pierced by metal rods directly through the ammunition depot, causing martyrdom, and the fusion engine was hit and the power room was completely destroyed.

The Atlantic united here, three fleets, more than two hundred ships, previously still a majestic, unparalleled huge fleet, after receiving the alarm, in just two minutes, it turned into a body ~ inserted~ The huge hole, burning with black smoke, covered the sea with scrap metal.

More than 4,000 metal rods fell from space like a bean. Due to the high speed, even with the ability to self-correct, the hit rate is not "too ideal" against the combined Earth ships that are evading urgently.Even so, nearly two-thirds of the ships suffered direct damage and were hit hard.

The Earth’s joint three major support fleets have been directly crippled around the mass accelerator platform before they even set off.

As for the mass accelerator that Atlantic United has spent a lot of money to build, it is also a key target and has been directly hit.The metal rods falling from the sky were smashed and shattered.

"Countless fireballs fell from the sky. Today is the judgment day of the Atlantic League! It is God's great judgment on our arrogance over the past hundred years!"

This is the words of Lieutenant General Short of the Atlantic Alliance who fortunately escaped the disaster.

The attack from outer space actually lasted less than a minute and ended.

But this minute is a minute of nightmare.

The first, second, and third fleets of the Atlantic Alliance each have five large aircraft carriers and one aviation battleship. The three fleets together have a total of eighteen super-large capital ships, plus cruisers, destroyers, and auxiliary supplies. There are more than 200 ships of various types such as ships and material transport ships.

In this minute, a total of nine aircraft carriers were directly hit by metal rods from space, two of which were destroyed by ammunition blasting, and two were destroyed by the fusion power module.The rest of the situation was a little better, but it was smashed so that there were more terrible holes through the body, and the structural strength of the hull was seriously damaged.

PS armor is indeed a very useful armor when it can counteract the enemy's kinetic energy weapons.But there is a fatal flaw. Once the upper limit of its absorption resistance is exceeded, the presence of PS armor has a serious impact on the "penetration reducing damage". These specially designed metal rods are deliberately designed to be brittle. It is in order to prevent the waste of potential kinetic energy caused by this "penetration".When it collided with the PS armor, the front end shattered, causing the metal rod to change its trajectory abruptly, changing from a straight line to a roll, causing the hull to absorb more hitting kinetic energy and suffer more damage.(Imagine the bullet deformed and rolled after hitting the human body)

In contrast, cruisers and destroyers with relatively weak armor are much less likely to occur due to this rollover effect when they are hit by a well-developed Sword of Moklis.

However, in any case, these warships that have been bombarded from space orbit head on, and those with the best luck have to return to the factory for overhaul. Within one and a half years, it is impossible to participate in the war again.

Compared with the terrible battleship loss, the casualties are even more terrifying to some extent.

With the production capacity of this world, three shifts during the war, the period for military industrial enterprises to produce a space carrier is about one year (refer to the production cycle of the Archangel in the animation, which is actually less than one year in the animation).

However, the training period for those crew members who can perform space combat missions is at least three years (natural persons). If they are replaced by adjusters, because their acceptance is faster, it also takes one year (refer to the space station elite technology in the stargazers). What the staff said.)
