Volume 3 Chapter 13 A One-sided Battle
According to Zhuang Bifan's plan, one mothership commanded ten assault fleets, a total of 5,000 large and small capital warships. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Six motherships commanded a total of 60,000 warships participating in the battle.
But the unity of five thousand warships was too bloated in formation. They will be in groups of two assault fleets of 1,000 ships. The parameters of the fleet had already been calculated at the time of the migration, and after the completion of the migration, the fleet had basically completed the pre-war grouping in less than ten seconds.
And all six motherships are constantly releasing auxiliary attack weapons. The fire control system of one mothership can control at least six thousand at once. The main role of these auxiliary attackers is defense, and the front of the 200-meter-long cylindrical aircraft is equipped with seven laser light emitters that can rotate at any angle in the forward hemispherical direction. There are also six identical firing devices on the outside. Laser light is almost useless for Zhuang Bifan's battleship to attack. That's just to defend against enemy aircraft that are close to close range.
They also have the ability to form small energy shields on their own to neutralize local laser attacks. It can also shoot lasers in opposite directions to interfere with enemy attacks.
Of course, they also have the ability to go ultra-long distances. In the center of the front of the weapon, there is a three-meter-caliber shaped cannon, which can fire a shaped cannon with a speed of more than ten times the speed of light. To counteract the strong recoil, the secondary aircraft requires a lot of energy to balance the aircraft. This is a weapon designed specifically for close-range point-and-shoot aimed at key targets.
Zhuang Bifan noticed that the enemy fleet was divided into several formations, and it was still moving at high speed in a scattered formation, but he did not expect to be subjected to counter-jamming with a stronger level than their interference source. They were unable to find a good way to deal with it for a while, so they could only disperse their formation to avoid heavy losses due to a salvo.
But for the mobility of these warships, which were not outstanding, Zhuang Bifan found an opportunity.
The fleet, which had been ready for battle before the jump, was ready to attack at any time.
He didn't even wait for the fleet to really complete the pre-war formation: "Inform all the fleets, and each fleet will choose its own target for a salvo after three seconds." Goal III of this fleet. The main gun of the Hanwu auxiliary attacker attacked the enemy's large warship at a fixed point. ā
Three seconds was enough time for the Hanwu to calculate the possible trajectory of the enemy ship.
Three seconds is less than two breaths. However, the main attackable cannon on the Hanwu has been adjusted and fully charged. Three seconds later, each cannon spewed out a cloud of black energy in succession to cut through the universe, leaving behind a trail formed by distorting cosmic particles.
Outside the Han Wu, the tail of the dozens of auxiliary attackers that had been deployed suddenly spewed out a blue light with a length of thousands of kilometers, but these attackers did not move forward, but suddenly moved backwards at high speed for more than a thousand kilometers before stopping the retreating forces. Then it slowly moved forward again. They are firing a more powerful shaped cannon than the parent cannon.
These secondary attackers, with dozens of them spewing blue light backwards in each round, are relatively backward, and then move forward again.
Countless clusters of energy shot out from each ship and sneaked up on their respective targets. All three enemy fleets were within the attack range of the Zhuang Bifan fleet. And it's all crossfire.
After the Earth Defense Station, the technology of the ship's guns has been improved by Space 2 for nearly two thousand years, and the main guns of the fleet have also been upgraded to reach the target in just five seconds. Millions of energy masses converged in the middle of Gutila's fleet from two different directions. And the energy mass emitted by the mothership's auxiliary attacker only takes less than half the time to attack the target.
When a dense group of energy meets a dense group of battleships, it pierces through the armor of a battleship like a steel needle piercing into tofu. Some of the energy masses penetrated the entire battleship at extremely high speeds, failing to detonate inside. However, the ultra-high speed of the energy cluster brings extremely high heat to the interior of the battleship. All substances that come into contact with this heat are instantly ignited by the extremely high temperature. The fire broke out inside the battleship, leaving the ship's internal damage management at the expense of one or the other, and if the structural integrity was compromised, there was no choice but to abandon the ship.
The energy mass that penetrated the battleship continued to rush forward until it encountered the battleship again, penetrated the armor again, and then ended this journey with no return. Or until the outer energy shell dissipates, and then automatically detonates.
The six fleets didn't need to be in a distraction-free area to complete the move, so they had already moved to the best position for a cross-attack from the start.
As soon as it was attacked, Gutila's fleet was besieged. The Gutila fleet was divided into three detachments, none too far from each other. Because of the jamming, they lost their faster-than-light detection means like the besieged Khafatra fleet. When attacked by faster-than-light kinetic weapons, they don't even understand what is happening.
Countless warships were hit, and finally turned into the brilliance of the starry sky. Each of Gutila's detachments had thirty or forty huge warships more than 100 kilometers long. These battleships seem to be somewhat less maneuverable.
A large battleship, hit by three energy cannons almost at the same time, only blew three large holes and shifted its course by a kilometer. The energy projectiles fired by the normal main cannon failed to destroy the turtle-shell giant ship. But these ships were not always so lucky.
Dozens of faster energy clusters shuttled around it, two of which left two large holes in its body thirty or forty meters in diameter, without even producing any fragments. One more second. A pillar of light erupted hundreds of kilometers long from the two holes.
After that, the battleship began to vibrate violently with the naked eye, and pillars of light began to erupt from the inside out, followed by fire. In the end, the entire battleship was fused into a huge ball of light by countless clusters of light.
That's the result of the attack of the energy cluster launched by the secondary attacker.
At a distance of 20 light seconds, the delay is only 0.02 seconds for the Hanwu's detection capabilities. The effect of the first salvo attack was already visible on the big screen.
He looked at the light curtains that were almost connected within a dozen light-seconds of the target area. turned back to Sima Yun and smiled and said, "It seems that we have won this battle." ā
Sima Yun's heart that she had been carrying was completely relaxed. It was the first time she had participated in such a battle, and the number of warships on the other side was more than the number of warships on her own, and she had always been worried that Zhuang Bifan would lose a certain number of warships even if she could win. But now it seems that her worries are too much.
I only heard Zhuang Bifan continue with a smile: "The higher the level of the war between the civilizations of the universe, the more the difference in technical level cannot be made up by quantity. ā
"You'd better hurry up and pack them all up. Sima Yun knew in his heart that he was laughing at his unnecessary worry just now. "They have a lot of reinforcements. ā
She was talking about hundreds of thousands of enemy ships near several other stars.
Zhuang Bifan was not worried: "They don't have a chance." Even if they could reach the speed of light, it would take months to reach the battlefield. "In the case of interference, they can't detect the situation here so quickly, and even if they detect the transition to the area that has been disturbed, the interfering energy field will distort their migration energy field, and maybe it will be completely destroyed without his intervention.
And it's not just the other side that has reinforcements, he still has more than 50,000 warships that have not been dispatched.
"I think they're trying to stir up a big war. These more than 200,000 warships may be regarded as the power of the entire civilization. Sima Yun looked at the fading light curtain on the big screen, but maybe soon a large ball of light would appear there again, because the second salvo had already been shot.
Zhuang Bifan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily. If they have mastered the technology of material transformation, metal resources are no longer rare. No matter how many warships are built, it is only a matter of time. And the total amount of metal in a galaxy is actually much more than we think. Even if you don't have that kind of technology, you can collect almost unlimited metals, but it's a bit more troublesome. ā
Advanced civilizations can use stellar nuclear fusion technology to simulate supernova to produce iron and even heavy metals from gas. That's how Black Flame got the metal in the first place. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get so many resources to build so many motherships and warships by mining the planet's metals and trading with the Kinip civilization. Not to mention that there are also a lot of resources in the man-made space inside the mothership.
But the warships of the civilization on the other side were much smaller than those on Zhuang Bifan's side, and they could even strip all the metal elements from the planet for use if they wanted. It's just that it's more expensive and more cumbersome. But, as an advanced civilization, that's not impossible.
In the first wave of attacks, the results were very obvious. The report just given by the Hanwu reconnaissance group shows that at least 20,000 warships have been destroyed by the enemy fleet. A fleet of this size, in addition to a huge amount of resources, also requires a large number of staff. Unless those warships were mainly operated by robots, at least 100 million aliens were killed in the attack that Zhuang Bifan's fleet had just launched.
But Zhuang Bifan didn't have any soft-heartedness about this, and the Han Wu had just analyzed the enemy's energy field pattern. The results of the analysis can determine that the enemy fleet is an advanced civilization from the 032 system. The development of advanced civilization can be described in one sentence: eat salted fish to satisfy thirst.
No civilization has a smooth sail in its development. And this civilization is clearly planning to start a war as well. And first took the initiative to think that he launched an attack. Since it is to start a war, it is always necessary to die, and it is not so important who dies at whose hands.
He saw from the big screen of the Hanwu that the enemy fleet was scurrying in all directions, and the goal was to distance themselves from each other. At this time, if you use a salvo of shaped cannons, the effect will not be good at listing the entire enemy fleet as an attack range, and the firepower density will become relatively thin. Concentrated attack, firepower is somewhat wasted. He paused for a moment and ordered: "Order each mothership to launch space missiles, the number of which is half a million." The main gun fires guided kinetic energy shells. ā
Immediately after that, several large windows opened on the upper deck of the Hanwu, and continuous pillars of light rushed out thousands of kilometers. That's the mothership missiles in space.
The main gun also shoots a purple arc of electricity, which is the main gun that uses ultra-high current to fire guided projectiles. Guided projectiles can reach a velocity of 0.95 light seconds. Because the mass is so large that only the mothership can withstand the recoil of a salvo, this weapon will be used only by the mothership.
Although the speed of those two weapons is not comparable to the speed of light, in the case of the enemy fleet being interfered with, they cannot move, and their interception ability is reduced to the limit, and if they want to evade, the speed is equivalent to stationary compared to these kinetic weapons.
It can be said that these seemingly primitive weapons are the best weapons against the Gutila fleet at this time. Because they have guidance capabilities. With the loss of the Lunar Shift, and with their detection capabilities severely limited, the Guthira fleet had little chance of intercepting them.
Belonging to both warring sides, Zhuang Bifan's side was calm and unhurried, and the Gutila fleet was indeed in chaos. They did not expect to encounter such an enemy. I thought that the star was probably a small fleet. But I didn't expect it to be a large fleet with a giant mothership the size of a medium-sized planet.
After encountering interference, they lose all their chances. Suddenly attacked, all three fleets suffered heavy losses, and the exact amount of losses was not reported. They don't even know that almost all the command ships in the fleet have been destroyed.
However, even if those command ships are still there, under the interference of ultra-high energy levels, it is difficult for the surviving warships to clearly receive the opponent's radio signals even if they are close at hand. Not only have they lost their unified command, but they can only fight separately for each ship.
The three salvos of Zhuang Bifan's fleet forced them to evade in disorder. It is very dangerous to do that when you lose contact with each other. Collisions happen from time to time. And the fragments of the battleship that filled the entire space also made the surviving battleships suffer.
Perhaps a lot of their battle losses were caused by collisions with each other.
