Chapter 405 (1/2)
The asteroid belt between Mars' orbit and Jupiter's orbit is 1.5 astronomical units wide and more than 200 million kilometers!
There are more than 500000 asteroids or even more scattered in such a large area. It seems that there are many asteroids, but in fact, the space between each asteroid is very large, so it is difficult for a normal spacecraft to collide with an asteroid.
The cartel fleet has entered the asteroid belt shortly after leaving Jupiter's orbit.
However, the areas they have been driving in are only areas of normal density, which is a certain distance from the asteroid dense area where the 18th column is located.
At the speed of 211 kilometers per second, the cartel fleet will leave the asteroid belt in just three days.
The 3000 warships did not use the centralized formation, but spread out a great distance. This is to prevent the spaceship in front of it to stop suddenly, causing the warships behind to stop in time to collide.
”The enemy fleet has ten seconds to go! Everyone, get ready An astronaut, dressed in strong colonial armor disguised as rock, lies on an asteroid hundreds of meters in diameter with a telescope the size of a suitcase in his hand.
His voice will be in a daze state of pilots wake up, all people hit a spirit of excitement, silently prayed a few times, pressed the fighter's ignition switch.
The bottom of a black fighter, which was close to the back of the asteroid, began to fire, pushing it away from the surface of the asteroid.
It is impossible to find these fighters hidden in the back of asteroids and turn off their engines in such a complicated environment!
But when these fighters ignited, more than a hundred dots appeared on the radar of the alliance ship!
”No! A lot of high energy reactions have been detected! ” As soon as the radar officer of the alliance ship changed his face, two pairs of claws began to wave nervously.
But they found out too late! Hundreds of asteroids around were instantly detonated by the nuclear bomb embedded inside, and a large number of asteroid debris shrouded this star field in a blink of an eye!
All the space in front of the fleet's route is blocked by asteroid debris of all sizes!
Some people may wonder, these small pieces of asteroid directly hit the warship, not good?
Although the structure of asteroid fragments containing a large number of metal elements is not strong, it is not weak. Although they are in low-speed flight state, it seems that the damage is not great, but the fleet of the kage alliance is in a high-speed cruise state!
What would happen if we hit these asteroids floating in space at 211 kilometers per second?
You should know that the initial speed of the federal electromagnetic railgun shell has just reached 15 kilometers per second!
And these ships hit these pieces at 211 kilometers per second! Even if the strength of these fragments is not high, it is equivalent to a naked man rushing at a shotgun that has just been fired, and this shotgun is still equipped with armour piercing warheads...
if the kacz alliance warships do not slow down, it is estimated that these asteroid fragments alone can completely kill the fleet!
The kage alliance warship, which detected these meteorite fragments, made an emergency brake, and the thrusters in front of the warship spewed flames forward. Even all the shipborne weapons on the warship were started and fired wildly in front of the warship!
Although this braking method is effective, the effect is extremely limited.
