Unable to escape, the enemy army was surrounded by enemies, and as soon as he emerged, he was attacked by concentrated fire......

"This style of fighting is more like submarine warfare." Wu Qing has been replaced to the third live channel, which means that the three ships that Wu Qing paid attention to before have all lost in the battle.

Almost all spacecraft fail, and the biggest direct cause is because energy consumption has bottomed out. As long as the spacecraft still has energy, at a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, it is difficult for the ship to be directly hit by weapons because of the natural defense delay brought by this wide distance. - Even lasers that move almost close to the speed of light.

"I don't see it like a submarine, it's more like divers shooting at each other underwater," Mr. Shen said, "and everyone only carries a certain amount of oxygen cylinders, and they have to shoot at each other while avoiding each other's bullets." The more you dodge bullets, the faster your oxygen will be depleted, but the slower you are, the easier it will be to get hit. ”

Xu Yan's IQ is not enough to understand this mode of war, and he is more concerned about who is more likely to win on both sides in this war: "Isn't it said that the intellectual body is more powerful, why does it seem that they have lost more so far." ”

Indeed, the real-time battlefield evaluation system is always giving the current battle results, and judging from this number alone, the human side has a great advantage - the exchange ratio between the two sides at this time is about 1 for 4, that is, the average loss of one spaceship for the human race, and the loss of four ships on the intellectual side.

"Because this is a defensive operation," Wu Qing had noticed this early on, "In addition to the fleet support from the Black Star, throughout the battle, many ships will retreat in the direction of the planet's orbit before running out of energy. ”

Because it is backed by a planet, the defending forces have a stable retreat direction when they encounter difficulties in battle, and they can easily get subsequent energy replenishment in orbit. But the intelligence body of the attacker does not have this convenience, and once the energy is exhausted, the spaceship can only be trapped and then destroyed.

"But even if it is 1-4, if this kind of battle continues, the coalition forces will not be able to bear it." The battle has been going on for more than four hours now, and in these four hours, the Federation army has lost more than 100,000 ships, and this number is still increasing. As time went on, the breadth of the engagement between the two sides increased, and the follow-up forces in the intellectual and physical aspects continued to flow, showing no signs of changing course at all - which meant that this attrition would continue if humanity continued to hold on to the Black Star.

"There are two fleets stationed on the Black Star, the Eighth and Thirteenth Fleets, and there are three more fleets in reserve behind them...... But the total number of ships added up is only a few million, which is almost half the size of the Federation fleet. ”

Shen Wen, who had played the game, sighed: "The mobilization efficiency of the federation is too poor. ”

According to Wu Qing's experience in the game, if the battle continues, because more and more space junk formed by consumed ships will form a natural minefield, and the offensive channel of the attacking troops will be further blocked, which means that the advantage of the defenders will continue to expand, and the final exchange ratio can reach one to ten, or even about twenty or thirty.

However, this did not help.

The intelligence body is 30 billion, the federal army is less than 100 million, and in the face of a nearly 1,000-fold gap in strength, one to thirty is still not a ratio that can be consumed.

If the Federation chooses to fight to the death with the Mind under such an exchange ratio, the biggest possibility is that the entire fleet of the Federation Army will be consumed, and the Mind and Body may suffer heavy losses, but the remaining fleet can almost occupy all the planets on the Coalition side without blood.

"So the military strategy of the coalition forces is quite rational," said the coalition forces, which invested about one-third of their forces in this decisive battle, and carried out a live broadcast on the entire network, and the purpose of this could not be clearer, "In this way, everyone will be as enthusiastic as possible to participate in the war, and make political preparations for full mobilization." ”

Black Star is the thirteenth planet in the entire solar system, because it has been highly militarized and fortified, so its mass is not very high, and it is almost the fifth from the bottom among the fifteen planets, accounting for only four percent of the total mass of the thirteen planets currently controlled by the Federation, so its strategic value is limited. Behind the Black Star, the twelfth planet, the Red Star, is five times more massive than the Black Star.

In the solar system, the vast majority of Federation players will choose to organize the strongest defense line in the Red Star, because whether this planet is captured or not means that the intelligent body has completely equal strength to humans in terms of strength.

Judging from the deployment of the Black Star Defensive War, the federal government must be making such plans now.

The battle continued, and the fleets of both sides were now like two colors of ink fused with each other, and the advance of the intellectual fleet had approached the orbital level. Here, the attacking fleet will be subjected to a full-scale blow to the entire system of defense of the Black Star orbit.

The defense system is essentially laid along the orbit, with countless artificial satellites, except that the function of these satellites is not for communication, but as fixed batteries.

The main weapon of the satellite is often a one, or multi-gate accelerator or laser emitter, of which the accelerator has two main functions, the first is to create low-speed space junk - which is equivalent to creating speed bumps, and the second is to create a high-speed particle stream, which is used to cover the range of the opponent's possible offensive channels. This high-speed stream of particles is essentially a kind of space engine – the principle is the same.

However, when this space engine is used as a battery, the reaction force is not used to accelerate the satellite, but to send the satellite back to the surface of the planet, so this kind of battery often has the role of transporting materials.

In war, it is difficult to say which of these two features is greater.

If it's a laser emitter, it functions the same as the laser array installed on most ships. In space, in addition to being a high-energy weapon, lasers can be used to transmit large amounts of information between friendly ships, as well as to indicate and warn of specific targets – similar to using a searchlight to illuminate a specific unit.

This kind of indication target will certainly not be visible with the naked eye of a living being, but it can be seen very clearly if the ship's automatic sighting system is used. In battle, if a ship is identified by an enemy laser and does not perform tactical maneuvers within a few seconds to circumvent this lock-on, the ship will be destroyed almost 100%.

"I'll continue to stare here," Wu Qing and Shen Wen discussed, "You go to the Internet to find out about public opinion...... After this battle, we will write a report together and send it to Yevgeny. ”

"But the last time we sent the message, we haven't replied yet," Shen Wen was a little worried, "Do they think we can't trust us yet?" ”

"Whether it's or not, we do what we have to do," Mr. Wu said, "and it's normal for them to have doubts, and how can they contact us?" We're in a game server. ”

Xu Yan was already a little impatient, and when he heard about the war at first, he was still a little excited, but from beginning to end, what he saw was the data inside the spaceship, as well as the points on the electronic map.

This is obviously completely inconsistent with the interstellar war imagined by Xu Yan. He couldn't help but complain: "How long will this last?" Even if the intellect doesn't sleep, don't the soldiers in the Federation need to sleep? ”

"They all take turns going to war...... Usually it is autonomous, and only when it is an enemy does it need to use people. "The engagement time is generally not more than 10 hours, and if the high-speed evasion is maintained, there is even less than four hours between the energy support of an attack ship. As far as this battle is concerned, from engagement to death, the average survival time on the Federation's side is about seven hours, while the Mind Body side is only more than three hours.

Because the sapient body is attacked from a long distance, the energy carried by the spacecraft itself is not high enough, which is also the biggest reason why the exchange ratio of the intellect body is very poor.

"And what about the whole campaign? How long does it take? "Originally, Xu Yan thought that watching the war was watching a movie, but now he found out that it seems to be a serial, and it is a very boring serial.

"Three to five days, and then it's going to get faster and faster."

If you consider the speed of travel, at the current speed of the Wisdom Fleet, it will take about three months to wait for the 30 billion warships to reach the Black Star.

Fast mainly refers to the rhythm of the battle between the two sides on this battlefield.

At present, the troops sent by the intellectual and physical forces are still only reconnaissance troops, and it can be seen that the main purpose of these troops is not to kill or injure the enemy, but to continuously penetrate the defense line, collect more battlefield intelligence about Blackstar, and prepare for a formal attack later. Once this infiltration is completed, the number and frequency of the fleet will increase rapidly.

As Wu Qing expected, seven hours later, the Zhiti side launched the first general attack.

Wu Qing watched the live broadcast while looking at the public opinion on the Internet, and it was obvious that before the launch of the general offensive, most of the people's remarks were complaining, some complained about the excessive loss of intelligence and physical (laymen will only look at the exchange ratio of war losses), and some questioned the military strategy of the government, why not a wave of A......

This spite will only be subdued after the signal of a live channel has been completely turned off - because it means that the fighters have been sacrificed, and everyone will spontaneously observe silence.

But less than half an hour after the silence, the spit will continue in the next livestream.

But after the launch of the general offensive, this kind of spit was completely invisible.

The reason is simple, the average survival time of all those who participated in the battle began to drop dramatically, from more than seven hours to about an hour!

The most common reason for the decrease in survival time is that the number of enemies in the unit space has increased dramatically, and the distance between them has begun to shrink - this means that enemies will take faster time to lock onto and weapons to arrive, requiring higher speed and faster energy consumption to evade.

The small yellow dots that used to move slowly on the electronic map now seemed to be boiled, and they were frantically maneuvering at high speed, and the loss rate of the coalition forces began to accelerate dramatically.

In the short ten minutes that Wu Qing watched, more than 20,000 people died.

This is just the beginning, as Wu Qing said, in his experience in the game, such an attack will last for three to five days - this time is not to say that the momentum of the army in terms of intelligence and body is only so large, but to say that the coalition side can only support three to five days of attrition. Beyond this time, unless other fleets are used, unless the federal government intends to fight to the death here, the fall of Blackstar is already inevitable.

Public opinion on the Internet was half quiet, and countless live broadcast windows paused at the window where the combatants died last. People no longer switch live channels – because no one can stand to constantly witness the death of their fellow citizens.

But the official death toll is still being updated, reminding everyone that the war is going on.

Along with the ever-increasing number of casualties, there are naturally applications on federal recruitment websites.

"Strategically, at least, the government has achieved what they were trying to achieve," Mr. Wu summed up briefly, "and they have succeeded in inciting the fear of war among the people." ”
