359. Victory
Nuclear fusion is the standard means of energy utilization in the human world, and most short-distance civilian spaceships use conventional fusion engines, while large spaceships or Sabre-class destroyers and above warships that require long-distance jumps are equipped with co-directional nuclear fusion engines that can constrain fusion direction.
As a war-level engine, it often operates in various extreme environments, so the safety requirements are much higher than that of civilian engines, and in normal battles, most of the results of engine destruction are just to abort the fusion reaction, and only in individual cases can it be detonated.
Of course, there is another reason that can also cause the engine to explode, and that is self-destruction.
At this moment, the imperial fleet on the battlefield is self-destructing, and the engines of 30,000 warships are simultaneously released from the constraints on fusion direction, and the out-of-control fusion engines are quickly weaponized, turning into orange light clusters in an instant, and all battleships, regardless of size, are vaporized by high temperatures at the same moment.
This was just the beginning, after vaporizing the Imperial fleet, the high-energy particles from the explosion rushed in all directions, and the nearest Praetorian Guard and Valkyrie bore the brunt, and the shields held up by these small and medium-sized warships could not resist for long in such a huge explosion, and were quickly blown to pieces. (Note)
Gao Shuai was a little farther away, but he opened the Vajra Circle with a defensive diameter of forty kilometers, and the attacks he could withstand were naturally greater!
As a space bridge, the front of the Vajra Circle is the entrance and exit for the release of the recovery warship, and the back of it is a space barrier to cut off the connection between the space in the ring and the main space, and maintain the stability of the space inside the Vajra Circle.
In other words, the Vajra Circle can be used as a high-level space shield, and the observer has done this before, and he has also blocked the ten batches of critical light speed cannons and sub-light speed cannons fired by Gao Shuai.
The damage of the Fifth Fleet's self-detonation was naturally far less than that of the Heavenly Court's light-speed cannon, but this time Gao Shuai was facing a continuous attack with a diameter of forty kilometers, and his strength alone was not enough, but fortunately, the soul power of Amlar was of great help at this time.
Continuously bombarded by high-energy particles in a large area, the space barrier of the diamond circle is like rubber that has lost its elasticity, and it is about to burst, at this time, the power of the solidified soul is continuously injected into the diamond circle with Gao Shuai as the intermediary, and the space barrier on the verge of collapse instantly regains its elasticity, and it can easily resist the remaining impact.
"Sure enough, it's the power of the almighty soul. "Although the Vajra Circle has completed the work of driving the soul power independently, Gao Shuai, as the intermediate conductor, still feels it very deeply - if in Ameral, Gao Shuai has already experienced the powerful power of the soul power, then at this moment he has experienced the convenience of the soul power.
The high-energy storm caused by the simultaneous detonation of engines by 30,000 warships finally subsided, and Gao Shuai retracted the King Kong ring, and the bright silver ring shrank back to his wrist.
Trus's Fifth Fleet was completely wiped out in one battle, which was the best result that could be conceived, and as for the Praetorian Guard that was lost because of this, Gao Shuai had already been mentally prepared.
The Praetorian Guard is an unmanned fleet and cannot be recreated, so this time the loss is irreversible, and before the battle began, Gao Shuai had already expected it, because long before the battle began, he knew that the death of Truss would cause the entire Fifth Fleet to self-destruct.
In fact, all of Gao Shuai's plans from the beginning were directed at the goal of killing Trus.
If a conventional war is conducted, even if Kolyagin can repeatedly recreate the Valkyrie, neither quantity nor quality can affect the overall course of the war, although in the military territory of the Gurbatov Empire, Trus's Fifth Fleet belongs to the edge of the main force, but after all, it is the regular fleet of a large member country, with the existing strength of the commander, it is impossible to win a head-on duel, whether it is from the comparison of the military strength of the two sides, or the tactical command of the commander.
After all, Gao Shuai only got three supernatural power modules, of which only Jizo can barely be called the main battle module, and the Praetorian Guard only has a small and medium-sized fleet that has been deliberately reduced by the observer, and it is completely impossible to compare with the opponent in terms of military strength. As for command ability, Gao Shuai will not be arrogant enough to think that he is better than a regular general who has experienced decades of real war.
Therefore, after several deductions, the best result that Gao Shuai finally got was only to rely on the asymmetry of information between the two sides, and when the other party did not know the Praetorian Guard and the supernatural power module, he first dragged the enemy on the frontal battlefield, and then the reborn Varvara launched a fatal blow, destroying the local flagship and killing Trus.
But this does not mean victory - in the eyes of the high marshals of the time.
In Gao Shuai's view, killing Truss does not mean the end of the battle, this is not an ancient war, even in Lanxing, after entering the modern war, the army's command system is becoming more and more strict and standardized, and the commander's death in battle will naturally have a subordinate officer take over the command, as long as there is no problem with the overall psychology of the army, there is no problem with the continuation of the war.
In other words, even if Trus is dead, the Fifth Fleet still has an absolute advantage in combat power, and just by changing the commander, the balance of victory will still be tilted in their favor.
After all, the Praetorian Guard did not have many warships, and they could not be recreated, and under the frontal resistance, they were consumed more quickly. As for Varvara, her fleet is smaller, and although it can be reproduced infinitely with sufficient spiritual power, that is only theoretical.
Jizo's abilities are indeed very powerful, especially in protracted warfare, and infinite regeneration is a nightmare for all enemies. However, the premise of this powerful ability is that the object of rebirth must have an unyielding soul, and only those souls who are still unwilling to admit defeat even if they die in battle, and even refuse the summoning of the soul sea are eligible.
From this point of view, the conditions under which this ability can be exerted are very harsh, because the temptation of the soul sea to the human soul is almost irresistible, and the return of the soul after death is imprinted in the depths of the soul, and it takes incomparably persistent belief to defy such instincts, not to mention that unlimited rebirth also means death again and again, for those souls, every time there is a rejection of the soul sea, the difficulty is growing in geometric progression!
Varvara may be tough enough, but that doesn't mean everyone else has the same willpower.
The result of the deduction made Gao Shuai very disappointed, this was already the limit of the resources in his hands, and at this moment, Shekretya, who accompanied him to carry out the weapon deduction, was full of joy.
"As long as Trus can be killed, the Fifth Fleet will be completely destroyed!" these were the words of Shekretya.
At that time, Gao Shuai was stunned, but Shekretya's next explanation was to make him re-examine the human beings of this universe.
Gurbatov, the tyrant of the Empire, his brutality spread to every corner of the galaxy, and the most famous atrocity was to throw those who were killed by him into the orbit of his throne, the first administrative star of the Empire, because there were so many races and countries that he slaughtered over the years that a planetary ring of human corpses was formed outside the first administrative star of the Empire!
Moreover, the tyrant's brutality is not only external, but also extremely harsh internally, especially his army, which cannot accept the defeat of his army, let alone the capture of his army and the prop of his warship as the enemy's boast of force.
In order to prevent all this, such as the surrender caused by the death of the commander, even if it was only possible under certain probability, Gurbatov brutally set up a self-destruction procedure for his fleet.
Gurbatov's brutality made Gao Shuai feel a little incredible, but no matter what, looking at the imperial fleet that had become cosmic dust in the distance, Gao Shuai's tense face still showed a smile: "This battle is won after all." ”
============
Note: Valkyrie is not only a general term for the combat units of the second sex, but also a title for a general like Varvara, which means that the title Valkyrie has a double meaning. Let's talk about it here, so as not to make some friends wonder when they read this.
PS: There is a small bug in chapter 351, Gao Shuai can't open Skynet now, he has to have Taishang, so the current Gao Shuai can only use the space barrier of the King Kong circle to protect the feminist number.
