Chapter 1075 945: Aerial Combat and Black Technology

Sizzle——!

The [Shipborne Analyzer] spews steam.

"Set firing elements! Azimuth 27-00, elevation angle 06-80! Eight rounds rapid fire! ——Fire!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The terrifying salvo on the deck screeches together, the furious muzzle blasts obscuring the clouds, the violent barrel cyclones driving away the waves.

Neither the Duchy nor Federation have yet deployed their battleships as absolute main forces into the frontal battlefield.

No need to mention the [Legendary Battleship] which was revered as a national treasure thirty years ago.

In fact, with the advancement of human technology, weapons like the "Elemental Turbulence Bomb" that counter [Extraordinary Power] have gradually diminished the naval dominance of the [Legendary Battleship] as an Extraordinary Crystal.

Even excluding the unreasonable [Legendary Battleship Skill], the basic data of those "Old-fashioned Sailing Warships" might not even match a current ordinary battleship.

Yet, at the moment, a large number of cruisers from both sides are patrolling various routes, and a sudden encounter leads to a fierce battle shaking the sea.

After all, in the current war fueled by technological power, neither the Duchy nor Federation expect a swift victory for their side.

The leadership has a clear understanding that modern warfare is about economics, logistics, and technological reserves, otherwise there wouldn't have been a military arms race over the past twenty years.

At the current stage.

From east to west, in the Eritrean Sea, Treasure Sea, Black Sea, Golden Sea, Broken Star Sea...

The main strategy for both sides is to sever each other's maritime arteries, suppress the opponent's war potential, and eliminate their living forces.

Just like now, the two fast cruisers "Lion" and "Vanguard" from the Duchy's "Golden Sea Fleet" are meeting four Federation ships "Defliger", "Sedlitz", "Black Ice", and "Dahlias" in the Northern Sea area around Saint Domingo Island, an important goods hub.

The commander's "eight-round rapid fire" order is a means of sacrificing precision for rapid, intense fire suppression.

Similar to the relationship between burst fire, long burst, and automatic fire in rifle shooting, it seeks a balance between accuracy and firepower.

Also, in the sudden engagement, it abandons normal follow-up calibration, maximizing their firepower advantage.

[Federation Navy: Fast Cruiser: City Defense Class]

[Military Preparation]: 2 single-barrel 152mm/50-caliber main guns (range 12800 meters); 10 single-barrel 102mm/50-caliber secondary guns; 4 single-barrel 47mm rapid-fire guns; 2 450mm torpedo launchers.

[Duchy Navy: Fast Cruiser: Unremitting Class]

[Military Preparation]: Main guns: 4 twin-mounted 152mm 50-caliber cannons; Secondary guns: 4 single-mounted 102mm 45-caliber cannons; Anti-aircraft guns: 3 quadruple-mounted 12.7mm 62-caliber machine guns; Torpedoes: 2 quadruple-mounted 533mm torpedo tubes.

Leveraging equipment differences, on their territory managed for decades, two Duchy cruisers relying on the [Mind Network] to first spot the enemy, still hold the upper hand even when facing four ships.

Simultaneously, the two cruiser captains unhesitatingly launched half of their torpedoes at the Federation's flagship "Defliger".

A total of eight white water lines carrying destruction and death rush towards the Federation Fleet.

"The rear smoke stack is hit, the longboat is damaged."

Then, the commands on the radio come increasingly urgently.

"Full speed forward!"

"Full stop!"

"Forward!"

"Port slow ahead!"

"Both sides slow ahead!"

The engine orders are reported one by one, then quickly executed by the sweating sailors.

The cannoneers retaliating with the turret feel the "Defliger" below rise and fall, rapidly tilting left and right to perform sharp turns, greatly disturbing their shooting precision.

Finally.

Rumble——!

After the loud explosion, thick smoke rises.

"Report to the captain, the stern is hit by an eel!"

The Federation Navy prefers to call torpedoes "eels", while the Duchy calls them "trouts", perhaps this is a form of superstition in such a world where gods manifest.

For the navy in general, "torpedo" isn't a very auspicious term.

"Rudder angle indicator left 12°, still at left 12°, no movement! 'Defliger' has lost its capability to navigate, quick! Call for air support!"

At this moment.

Aiven, sitting at the helm in command of the New Continent war, has already observed all the enemy's intelligence within the "eyes".

In a layer of vision that others cannot see, endless electromagnetic waves are surging back and forth throughout the Material World.

In the timeframe of the "Electric Industrial Revolution," Aiven finally achieved his long-held dream.

In the Material World, whether it's radios, wireless communication, radars... the Origin is all based on Aiven's "pulse and signal transmission technology."

Thirty years ago, He could already use the power of [Badge Knight] and [Eye of Profound Wisdom] to directly read the electromagnetic wave information flying all over the sky.

Now, He has transformed directly into the "Information Omniscient," observing the intelligence carried in the electromagnetic waves as easily as reading a palm.

"Ha, using the same trick again. Command, let's have our air force formation on Saint Domingo Island take off! Let them see what the crystallization of black technology means."

Hence, above the Golden Sea, a total of five "Flying Mother Ships" descended from the clouds.

At least thirty "Sparrowhawk Type" Flapping Wing Machines dropped from the sky like dumplings.

At the airport on Saint Domingo Island, which seemed just for airships to take off and land.

Two flight formations with a total of twelve fixed-wing aircraft "F1 Horned Owl Type" quickly soared into the sky, rapidly gaining altitude in a spiral ascent.

Da da da...

The two aircraft cannons on each plane directly fired, biting toward the enemy's flapping wing machines like crimson venomous snakes.

In an instant, what should have been a sea-to-air advantage strike turned into an unexpected air combat.

"Sparrowhawk Type" Flapping Wing Machine length: 6.08 meters; wingspan: 7.82 meters; height: 2.20 meters;

Max speed: 212 km/hour; endurance: 2 hours; empty weight: 500 kg; max takeoff weight: 704 kg.

Designed by the "God of Deceit" Pyrmont, a new flying device based on biomimetic principles.

The advantage is that it can fly long distances with very little energy, and can hover directly in the air, possessing strong mobility.

Making its first appearance on the stage of war, the "F1 Horned Owl Type" fixed dual-wing fighter, length 5.72 meters; wingspan 8.53 meters.

Empty weight 321 kg; max takeoff weight 659 kg; max level flight speed 260 km/hour; practical ceiling 5774 meters; endurance 4 hours.

It has greater payload, faster speed, longer endurance, and higher ceiling.

Among them, the main role is played by two particularly noteworthy black technologies.

[Ogel Carburetor] is considered a milestone great invention in the history of internal combustion engines, invented by an [Electrical Engineer] named Ogel.

This filtering "black box" abandons traditional fuel pumps and carburetors, using a reinforced fuel tank and heating coils.

It compresses cold liquid fuel to extract vapor, then injects it into the combustion chamber for high-pressure vapor fuel injection.

In the initial experiment, it could enhance automobile fuel efficiency to 42 km per liter, with a consumption of 2.5 liters per 100 km, doubling the range of internal combustion engines, giving the "F1 Horned Owl Type" a significant battlefield advantage.

[Large Bundle Carbon Fiber] is a black technology material from petrochemicals, personally led by Olivia's research project.

Its diameter is 1/50 of a hair strand, density is 1/4 of steel, and strength is 7 times that of steel, with high rigidity and high corrosion resistance.

Can be widely applied to cars, airplanes, battleships, cruisers' hulls, shells, decks, frameworks, and rigid airship structures.

The war had not lasted even a minute.

Woo——!

A blazing fireball whistled as it plunged into the sea.

"Hahaha, comrades, well done! The first Silver Star Badge is ours!"

The commander of this air force formation, Lieutenant Colonel Tollop, Major Willmot laughed heartily.

The first shot down since the war began came from under their command, truly giving them a good face in front of Your Majesty.

Yet, no one noticed at this moment.

High above.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The fierce drum beats that rang only in the Spiritual Realm echoed endlessly in the sky, a slim figure in green holding a long spear and dancing.

The movements were flamboyant, filled with power and rhythm, but it was an ancient war dance unknown from which civilization.

"Hahaha, 'World Consciousness' really favors me, once thought it impossible to restore the position of [Demigod], now welcomes such a grand world war never seen before.

Blood, Death, and Flames, ah! Simply beautiful!

Perhaps war only needs to last for two years, no, just one year, for me to return to the throne of [Demigod]."

This figure appears to be a youthful archer shouldering a longbow, with a quiver at his waist and a spear in hand.

In reality, ranked 14th among the 72 Pillar Demon Gods is Demon God Lelakin, who will provoke wars, incite conflicts, leaving bones scattered everywhere, graves filling the wilderness.

And in this world war, there is more than one high-level Extraordinary eager for chaos.
