"The destructive power of a starship that can hit this distance is still so high, this is because each laser cannon is equipped with a fusion power plant, right?" Although he was still on the way, Lin Hai could still see those beams of light coming up from the ground, so he looked at Tagate in surprise, although those planetary defense bases have been built for several years, but this is their first planetary defense mission, "This is the land-based version of the pulsed laser cannon, right?" ”

"That's right." Tagate affirmed, "Previously our planetary defense system ...... I am referring to the land-based defense system, which is composed of long-range missiles and super magnetic railgun systems, and the large laser cannon cannot be land-based because its use in the atmosphere is greatly affected, and can only be installed on space orbital platforms and used in vacuum environments. But after Dr. Kane became involved in the research...... I'm referring to Kane himself, the genetic prototype, not the clone we have now, he invented a new laser weapon, the principle is quite complicated, I don't know very well, that thing is not a laser in the traditional sense, more like other high-energy ray weapons with laser characteristics. Anyway, you should think of it as some kind of black-tech laser weapon. Of course, even if this is the case, these large laser cannons cannot continue to fire, and each time they shoot at an extra-atmospheric target, they need an hour of cooling and charging, and in this time, they can only count on other large magnetic railguns and long-range land-based missiles. ”

"It can only be like this, we can't count on the defense task to the land-based defense system, otherwise what do we want Starfleet to do, the land-based defense base can at most play a role of containment, support and delay, and cannot be the absolute main force." Lin Hai shrugged his shoulders and stopped discussing this topic, this kind of physical and technical research is not something that he, a scumbag, can figure out in a short period of time.

"Sir, two hundred and seventy-four ballistic missiles have been detected from the ground!" Just as Lin Hai and Tagate were about to turn their attention from the ground planetary defense base back to the Sijing fleet, the radar officer loudly reported, "The launch points are East North America and West Europe, respectively!" The ballistic calculation of the attack target is expected to be the Sijing Space Fleet! ”

"What are you kidding?!" Hearing this report, Lin Hai and Tagate looked at each other, they didn't expect such a show.

"Calculate the time it takes for those ballistic missiles to arrive on the battlefield!" Tagate immediately ordered, "And who is the person who fired those missiles!" ”

"CNNND! Lin Hai couldn't help but curse in a low voice, no matter who launched the ballistic missiles, not to mention how long it would take those ballistic missiles to slowly fly to the current low-earth orbit position of 1,000 kilometers from the vertical distance of the Sahara Desert on the ground. It is not known how much effect those missiles will play when they fly from the direction of eastern North America and Western Europe, but there is a great possibility of interfering with the combat operations of the GDI fleet, especially this kind of missile attack without any notice or reminder before, which will only add unnecessary trouble to GDI's combat plan.

"It's a ballistic missile of the people of country M." In less than two seconds, what Colonel Targate wanted to know had a result, "The arrival time of the missiles, because they were in the acceleration stage when they were detected, and there was no falling process, the missiles needed to accelerate all the way to enter space and get out of the gravitational circle, based on the current situation of the Western European missile group, it is expected to arrive in the engagement area in 12 to 15 minutes at the earliest, and the North American missile group will arrive in the engagement area in half an hour at the earliest!" ”

"It's good that the missiles weren't fast enough." Hearing this news, Tagate breathed a sigh of relief, "Probably the people of country M thought that they could take advantage of our battle with the fleet of the Sijing people and support us with nuclear bombs, but their current ballistic missiles are not designed to be in space combat mode, and the speed and range of the missiles are not enough to participate in such space battles." ”

"As long as it doesn't affect our actions, it's enough." Lin Hai also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the people of country M launched nuclear bombs, and if they hit their own starships, the result would be very bad - of course, they could also intercept those missiles in advance.

"Contact country M and let them self-destruct those ballistic missiles, or we will do it." Tagate breathed a sigh of relief and continued to order the communications officer, "Tell them that those missiles didn't affect the Sijing people, but affected our combat operations!" This is supporting the enemy! ”

Lin Hai did not object to Targate's words, because he was also very dissatisfied with the move of the people of country M, the posture of the people of country M was like planning to kill them and the Sijing people together, not to mention the sudden launch without notice, and directly threw the nuclear bomb into space, disrupting their deployment, not to mention, it would even cause the GDI fleet to pay an unplanned huge price, and it is not an exaggeration to say that country M has bad intentions.

Even if this is in space, as long as it does not hit directly or explode at close range, those nuclear bombs will not have any effect on the starship, but this behavior shows that the people of country M have always looked at no one and regarded friendly forces like a mustard.

Danger and not to mention it, the key is a matter of attitude.

"Maybe we should cut down on the number of gravitational trap generators we provide to country M?" Lin Hai sneered, he also planned to remind the people of country M that now was not the time for their family to be dominant.

"Let's talk about it after this battle." Tagai nodded and agreed with Lin Hai's suggestion, "With the current position, the pulse laser cannon can't shoot again for an hour, and it is difficult for the railgun to hit the moving Sijing starship, and the only support that the ground planetary defense base can provide is long-range missiles, but those missiles are also easy to be intercepted by the Sijing fleet, and can only play a diversion role, so we can only rely on ourselves for now." ”

Although the support artillery fire fired from the planetary defense base on the ground destroyed one of the Sjitter starships and disrupted the formation of their fleet, the situation for the convoy was still more severe, dragging three bulky orbital ion cannons forward, and the nine destroyers needed more acceleration time to fly to top speed.

And after the Sijing fleet was hit by the ground, it didn't wait to get close to the GDI orbital escort fleet, and released most of the bee fighters - now GDI already knows these small unmanned space fighters through Vermir The Sijing people call them intruder fighters - fortunately, the eight planetary assault motherships are too scattered, and the group of fighters they release cannot be gathered together to attack, and can only continue to attack the orbital escort fleet with refueling tactics.

Their first purpose also appears to be to destroy the three orbital ion cannon platforms.

Fortunately, when the Higra-class destroyers were originally designed, Lin Hai decided to choose the anti-aircraft fire equipment of these destroyers as a laser point defense system with projectile anti-aircraft guns, and the anti-aircraft missiles launched by the anti-aircraft missile nest installed on the destroyers themselves were also upgraded models, and the rest of the destroyers maintained a relatively dense air defense formation.

The refueling tactics of the Sijingren space fighter could not get close to the moving orbital ion cannon platform, so it could not destroy the three ion cannons, but most of them were shot down when they stormed the fleet.

The two closest planetary assault carriers to the evacuated orbital frigates quickly exhausted their unmanned space fighters, while the GDI orbital escort fleet only paid the price of multiple destroyer injuries - all the performance of the Intruder fighters GDI was actually completely mastered, the range was insufficient and it was very vulnerable, and in the face of the dense anti-aircraft fire of the human fleet, it also used the tactics of direct charge, and the number of 1,600 was shot down one by one like moths to a fire.

There is no way for the Sijing people, time is not completely on their side, and the fleet directly under the GDI Command can join the battle in a few minutes. The Sijing people, who have already fought with the fleets directly under the GDI Command, know very well that if the Kodiak-class battlecruisers must rely on good tactics to engage the planetary assault motherships one-on-one, then GDI's latest starship, the Sea Behemoth-class heavy cruiser, which is much smaller than the Kodiak-class starship, is an advanced human starship that can fight against the planetary assault mothership, and the fleet directly under the GDI Command has twelve such starships, which can completely defeat them head-on.

The Sijing refugees, who lack researchers, are still inferior to humans with a complete research system in terms of upgrading advanced weapons and equipment, which is why they previously supported the Holy Brotherhood and let humans study some of the technologies they provide, but after a breakthrough in technological research, they recycle those technologies.

They are borrowing the hand of human beings to perfect their own technological updates.

It's just that in the past, they restricted a lot of human organizations in order to prevent them from becoming uncontrollable after they grew stronger, but now it seems that it has become a failure. is also in the research of new technologies, GDI, or Iron Eagle, there has never been a restriction on this - except for some urgently needed things, in the establishment of research projects, Lin Hai is basically the master, completely do not restrict the brains of those clone researchers, after they have the director of Kane clones, GDI research projects have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the number once made Lin Hai have to clean up some projects that are useless to the current war situation.

Because of these various reasons, the technology gap between the two parties has been rapidly shortening, except for some related technologies such as Taijing, because the contact time of Tieying is indeed too short to compare with the Sijing people who have studied for hundreds of years, as long as human beings have already studied and have a basic route, the speed of human beings is quite fast.

Finding that their fighters were no longer able to complete the attack independently, the Sijing people intercepted the detachment in the direction of the breakthrough of the GDI orbital escort fleet and began to attack the human fleet, and the two planetary assault motherships, accompanied by the two destroyer gunships, flew straight to the front of the GDI orbital frigates, on the one hand, they borrowed the GDI fleet as a cover to prevent the space firepower of the GDI ground planetary defense base (they didn't know that the rate of fire of the large pulse laser cannon here was one shot per hour), On the other hand, he is using his own body to delay the breakthrough speed of the GDI ship.

The three Kodiak-class battlecruisers accelerated, broke away from the destroyer formation, and faced the Sijing detachment head-on, and they would use their own strength to open a breakthrough for the whole fleet and not give the Sijing people a tactical opportunity.

Before the Kodiak class could fire, the destroyer formation behind them fired a salvo of heavy space torpedoes in front of them in a neat array - a total of 144 heavy space torpedoes!
