Chapter 614: Long-range strike
The distance between the two fleets was getting closer and closer, and unlike the human fleet, the pirate fleet turned on its full power almost immediately, and galloped towards the human fleet.
And the speed of the human fleet is much slower, after all, the overwhelming enemy fleet on the holographic projection still gives people a great deterrent.
The distance between the fleets of the two sides has gradually shrunk from the initial 1.5 billion kilometers to 100 million kilometers, then 80 million kilometers, 70 million kilometers, and 60 million kilometers.
As the distance closed, the command centers of both sides also became tense.
"Release the probe!"
"Release the probe!"
Almost at the same time, Pruk and the human fleet commander made exactly the same decision.
You must know that at a distance of tens of millions of kilometers, even a Puluo-class spacecraft with a diameter of more than 200 kilometers is theoretically just a small dot, and there is no difference from ordinary satellite-class warships.
At this distance, both sides can launch strikes against their opponents with particle beam weapons and laser weapons.
But here's the problem, 50 million kilometers, although it takes more than 160 seconds to fly light, but when you see the laser beam or particle beam fired by the other side towards you, it means that the other party has already hit you.
In the end, the major civilizations came up with a solution, that is, to launch a probe, the probe is as close to the enemy's forefront as possible, and then through the ultra-distant effect of quantum entanglement to get the intelligence of the enemy's attack in advance, and then dodge in advance.
In this way, the performance of the probe has also become one of the main criteria for measuring the combat effectiveness of a fleet.
And meteorite-star warships and starfighters have become important weapons to annihilate these miniature unmanned probes.
"Forward, give me full speed ahead, and shoot freely after entering the range of 20 million kilometers. Get ready for the Puro Spaceship Particle Cannon, and hit the satellite-class battleship that I'm aiming at the opponent!"
"Yes!"
There was a sinister smile on Prucker's lips, and he had put all his chips on it.
The battle between the starfighters just now had already made him realize the huge gap between the technology of the enemy and the enemy, and the outcome of this war might not be as optimistic as he imagined.
But not Bo, not either.
If the enemy's combat effectiveness is really far superior to his own. Then I'm afraid it's useless to run, not to mention that I still have a numerical advantage, and it is unknown how I will win or lose!
Relying on the advantages of size and engine power, the Prok battleship was equipped with a super-powerful particle cannon by Pruk, which can normally penetrate the armor of ordinary third-level civilization satellite-class warships with a single shot. Moreover, its effective range has reached 50 million kilometers, which is also the biggest reliance of the Wind Pirate Group across the sea of stars.
If it is still defeated by then, then Pruk can only choose to run away, anyway, with the size and structure of the merchant ship Prolo, it is difficult for a third-level civilization warship to pose a threat to it.
As for the lives of the pirates on the other ships, Pruk had to leave them to fend for themselves.
As the distance between the two sides approached the critical point of 50 million kilometers, Pruk's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the picture transmitted by the detector in front of him, and waved his hand: "Particle cannon." Launch!"
Almost instantly, a faint blue light with a diameter of about one meter shot out from the center of the Puro spaceship, and flew towards a satellite-class battleship in the human fleet.
Admiral Yang Wenhua, commander of the human coalition fleet, had a solemn face in the battleship "China", the flagship of the human coalition forces, and the atmosphere in the command center became tense at the first second of the enemy's attack.
"The enemy's flagship main gun launched an attack on our "American" satellite-class warship, which was preliminarily judged to be a particle beam weapon of unknown power. The speed is 0.95C and it is expected to arrive in one hundred and fifty seconds. The countdown now begins. One hundred and fifty seconds, one hundred and forty-nine seconds, one hundred and forty-eight seconds......"
As the countdown to death approached, the "American" spacecraft began to slowly rotate its huge body, deviating the predetermined flight path, fortunately, the distance between the human warships was more than 100,000 kilometers, and in this case, the loss of position of the American would not have much impact on the human fleet.
"Commander, do you want to attack now?"
Admiral Yang Wenhua shook his head. At present, the distance between the two sides is still 45 million kilometers, and although the effective range of human satellite-class warships has reached such a long distance, the impact of shooting at each other at this distance is not great on both sides.
The reason why the enemy chose to attack at this joint is probably more to disrupt the formation and rhythm of the human fleet.
Sure enough, this cannon did not cause much damage to the human fleet. The USS America satellite-class spacecraft easily dodged the death ray, except for one starfighter that was accidentally brushed to the edge by a particle cannon, causing the entire fighter to vaporize instantly.
Next, the Prolo spacecraft launched several more strikes against human warships, but the results were very limited, with only a dozen interplanetary fighters and two Meteorite-star spacecraft being hit.
At this time, the fleets of both sides officially stepped into the range of 30 million attacks.
This is already the best strike distance for the human fleet, and the laser weapons and particle beam weapons loaded by small planetary-class warships and satellite-class warships are enough to block enemy ships in a certain area and launch a salvo of concentrated fire on them, so that they simply do not have enough time to get out of the strike range of their own fleet in just one hundred seconds.
"The laser cannon charge is complete, the particle beam weapon is ready, the target is the enemy satellite-class battleship, the azimuth is 225.226.365.452.785, this shot is a rapid fire of the fleet, divided into three times, the interval between each shot is three seconds, prepare, launch!"
Almost instantly, the human fleet shone like stars.
Hundreds of laser beams and particle beams shot towards the satellite-class battleship of the pirate fleet Snow Feng!
At this time, the pirate fleet was in a state of panic.
"The Snow Maple is ready to evade!"
The moment he received the blow from his opponent, Pruk commanded loudly.
The worst-case scenario arose, the enemy's fleet had a longer range than its own.
Even asteroid warships can hit a distance of 30 million kilometers.
"What is the origin of this earth civilization, how come I have never heard of it before!"
A hint of doubt flashed through Pruk's mind.
The Shipper-class battleship Snowmaple wriggled its bulky body, trying to get out of the enemy's blow in a matter of more than an hour.
But all this was doomed to be in vain, hundreds of lasers and particle beams hit the armor of the Xuefeng, and this powerful battleship instantly melted like hot butter, and then the follow-up blow came again, and the entire battleship exploded in an instant like a powder keg that had been ignited.
