As his hand clicked continuously on the blue virtual screen that popped up on his desk, a three-dimensional projection appeared between the two, and a formation of forty starships stayed in the void of a planet.

The artillery fire between the two sides was blazing, and the starships and the firepower points located in orbit were constantly destroyed, but as the firepower points on the planet's surface were added, the starships in the void were gradually damaged, and finally had to retreat.

"This is the real battle that happened a thousand years ago between Jeppen and my Southwest Federation Haibei Galaxy, the starfleet is the 1st Fleet of our Federation, and the fully staffed Federation 1st Fleet is the main fleet of our Federation, and the morale of the Royal Fleet of Jiepeng after defeating the Royal Fleet of Jeppon in one fell swoop in the ambush battle of the main channel of the Haibei Galaxy is not high. The battle damage to 21 starships, including the fleet's flagship, and the death of the fleet commander and 160,000 federal officers and soldiers, caused more losses than the ambushed Jeppen Imperial Royal Fleet.

After this battle, the three Federation fleets that had already gained the upper hand in the territory of Jeppen were not allowed to retreat strategically, and all the gains obtained in the early stage were handed over, and the war returned to the pre-war balance of power. ”

The old man's voice sounded with a bit of embarrassment: "In the era before the invention of the energy shield, the various detection radars equipped with starships could not be compared with the sounding radars on the surface or ground of the planet. The size of the starship ultimately limits the power of the starship radar, and the ground-based beam radar has far exceeded the exploration range of the starship. Moreover, when the horn of war is sounded, the planets will release a large number of energy reactions that they will detect in the vast starry sky around them, and the unmanned detectors will not know how many "eyes" that you can't see in the void as far away as millions of kilometers to hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Therefore, unless you are undeclared war, there is no chance for the planet to turn on the long-range sounding system and the large and small probes densely scattered in the void, otherwise, the massive starship is afraid that it has just appeared in the airspace millions of kilometers away from a planet, and it is not able to aim at those military facilities on the surface of the planet, and it has already been locked by the planet's terrible railguns and a large number of high-speed missiles, and the starfleet in space, in the face of sufficient planetary defense capabilities, is completely a bunch of steel targets. ”

As the white-haired old man's fingers continued to slide, Tang Lang's familiar image of the energy shield on the starship jumped into his eyes.

This time, the starship covered with the energy shield was obviously much closer than in the previous image, and the ion ripples caused by the blazing artillery fire on the energy shield made the starry sky a little more magnificent, not all the terrifying brilliant fire caused by the starship's martyrdom.

Small landing ships were constantly coming out of the transports and motherships under blazing gunfire, heading wildly towards the planet, densely packed like a swarm of swarms rushing towards their targets。。。。。。

However, the invention of the energy shield changed that. Because the plasma energy shield can isolate all thermal locking and neutralize energy beam weapons, it makes Starfleet have the possibility of fighting close to the planet for the first time to compete for air supremacy in the planet's space.

However, even so, Starfleet is still unable to compete with the defending planets equipped with a large number of railguns. The reason for this is also because it is extremely difficult for the energy shield starship to lock on the fire points protected by the energy shield on the surface of the planet, and can only be through optical aiming on both sides, or a large number of unmanned detection auxiliary locking systems thrown out like no money.

This is to see which side of the two sides is stronger, and after all, it comes down to the category of tactics and strategies of confrontation in the quality and quantity of ancient warfare. But the expensive starship, the confrontation with the cheap and numerous railguns on the ground, coupled with the planet's powerful supply and attrition capabilities, is too much to suffer after all. At this time, mecha has become the most important force that determines the ground battlefield.

The ground is facing the firepower point of space, and it is necessary to throw in the mecha to remove the place occupied by the mecha, and the starship overhead can fly freely in the starry sky without worrying about becoming a bird targeted by a shotgun.

Similarly, if you want to prevent the opponent's starfleet from soaring in your own starry sky, the defenders also need to use mecha to fight against the enemy's elite mecha dropped in the starry sky.

This is also the most important reason why Starfleet is still equipped with a sufficient number of mecha troops until now, even those fleet commanders who shout "big fleet theory" every day and ask the Federal Military Department to build bigger and stronger starships have never said that they are going to the stars with their starship troops, and that fleet is not with thousands or even tens of thousands of mecha troops? Isn't it ridiculous, you say? On the one hand, the mecha is just a support, but on the other hand, it is training more advanced mecha masters, and there is a demand for more advanced mechas.

They also know very well that without mechs, they can only blockade the enemies on the planet in the vast void, but they cannot actually occupy them. And in this case, even if it is the most powerful Great Eagle Empire and the Kyushu Federation in the starry sky, how many main fleets can they muster? Thirty or fifty or a hundred? But only my Southwest Federation, which belongs to medium-sized countries, has dozens of habitable planets. Fighting a country is nothing more than relying on the number of starships and huge casualties to conquer planet by planet, and that kind of loss can definitely make any commander's heart ache to death. The old man's voice became extremely impassioned: "Speaking of which, the planetary ground battlefield is actually the mainstream of interstellar warfare in the future. Starships block the void, and mechs decide where the planets belong.

Starships are, of course, the fundamental signs of a country's strength or power. I've never denied the importance of starships because of my research direction. Without a powerful starfleet, there is no way to keep the enemy out of the country, so you can only let the flames of war burn on your own land, and let your soldiers and civilians be wiped out in the energy of the starry sky cannon.

But in any era, mecha is also the most sophisticated weapon of war. Whoever can control the ground battlefield will gain the ability to dominate the space and star field, and can easily crush the enemy fleet, and conversely, can easily level the planet.

So why are countries vigorously researching mechas, the king of the land, not to create romantic scenes on the planetary ground, where mecha warriors on both sides come and go like supermen and face off like the wind。。。。。 It's this kind of thing that determines the ownership of the planet under our feet, and determines whether you will be slaughtered and discarded.

The mecha is a collection of almost all the knowledge of human science and engineering, not to mention mathematics, physics constitutes the basic movement principle of the mecha. High-energy physics, that's the category of energetics, the energy engine of mechas, and I don't need to say that you know the gold content of this thing.

The bearing structure of the mecha, the armor and the materials in all directions involve fluid mechanics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering。。。。。。 It can control the mecha and communicate with the outside world, including various electronic equipment for detection, aiming and fire control, and covers electronic science, electromagnetism, informatics and countless other contents. And you think it's enough to just make a mecha that can be controlled?

As a mecha master who pilots mechs, in addition to the necessary combat skills, you must also master mecha maintenance, psychology, ballistics, and so on. Every mecha division can be regarded as the elite of the warriors. To say that they are superhuman is probably not an exaggeration. ”

The white-haired old man looked at the mecha figure galloping across the surface of the planet in the picture: "So in human society, there is no other thing that can integrate the beauty of human science and technology like a mecha, which is a comprehensive embodiment of the scientific and technological strength of a starry sky country." As the famous saying of the scientist who developed the mecha superweapon: no mecha, no war!

I can even predict that even thousands of years from now, mechs will still be an important tool for human civilization to explore the wider starry sky, but it will be more powerful than it is now. Perhaps, they can freely soar through the stars and carve out artificial leaps for themselves to make light-year jumps that we can't imagine. Even, when our human civilization encounters a foreign civilization on that day, it will become an important force to resist our unpredictable scientific and technological strength in the collision of civilizations. ”

"Although this old man is crazy, his mind really makes me look at you as a rudimentary civilized race." Hob meat sighed in Tang Lang's mind who was in thought.

As an artificial intelligence brain of an extraterritorial civilization that accidentally broke into human society, the development of extraterritorial science and technology thousands of years or even more ahead of human beings has in fact proved the old man's prediction. In the Smoky Cloud Galaxy, super mechfighters who can fight independently in the starry sky and create jump channels are already the main force of galactic level warfare, and Starfleet will only be used unless they go to a longer distance, which is often thousands or even tens of thousands of light-years away.

"Now you see! Idiot! If you weren't lucky enough to meet me today, which might be the brightest beacon in your life, you would have been stupid until you died. Now, isn't it time to say thank you right away? The white-haired old man saw that Tang Lang had gradually become engrossed at the beginning, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

I also rubbed my fingers very habitually.

Seeing that he is so familiar, it is obviously not the first time this old man has done this. Tang Lang had every reason to doubt that his "VIP card" was obtained in this way. In particular, this is an old man who doesn't spend money on dart singing.

Looking at the foaming old man in front of him, Tang Lang twitched the corners of his mouth, and said bluntly with the unique military force: "Professor Ai, even though you are the most famous academician of the Academy of Sciences in the whole federation, and nominally my mentor, is it a bit too unreserved for you to praise yourself in front of your students so bluntly, and to ask for favor fees so blatantly?" ”

"Huh? You're a little different from other idiots. "The white-haired old man not only didn't blush as the legendary old man, but was a little surprised by Tang Lang's reaction." They either admit it obediently, or pretend to admit it obediently, or they hold their breath and admit it. In short, if you want to attract me with a maverick, all I can say is that you have succeeded, and your success has made me feel that you have the potential to become a smarter idiot from thousands of idiots. ”

Tang Lang was a little indifferent and sent the white-flour steamed bun that the robot butler had already brought into his mouth, he already had an intuition that today's ordeal seemed to have just begun.

White-haired Stan's aunt isn't over yet.

Once a blood warrior, his intuition was never inaccurate.

The disaster continues.

However, as one writer once said, the Chinese word for "crisis" is divided into two words, one means danger and the other means opportunity.

What's more, Tang Lang is only being noisy at most now.
