Chapter 501: Die Half First and Then Artillery Battle
The serpentine swarm of locusts exposed its backs to the high-energy ion streams of the supersolar wind, which burst into flames despite the ship's protective shields.
Based on the analysis of these video information, the brain computer AI specializing in military intelligence analysis deduced that the interior of these warships contained a large amount of oxygen, and examined the corpses floating into space after the destruction of the ships and found that the individuals of this foreign civilization had a high degree of resemblance to humans.
Of course, it's not the appearance, but the body structure, and it's also an erect bipedal creature, but it looks more like an alien deformity (thinner, bigger, bigger-headed, big-eyed, etc.) based on the leopard people in DND.
Preliminary analysis shows that this kind of life also seems to have long-term brain use, muscle degeneration, etc., and like humans, they are accustomed to using tools.
The spacesuits they wear are similar to mecha suits, but in terms of material application, they seem to have more experience with silicon-based materials, which is simply understood as composite ceramics, which use sand and stone like humans use metals, which may be related to the composition and structure of the home planet where their civilization was born.
However, all working medium engines involve fuel reserves, engine power and other issues.
Small ships have relatively low power system output per unit time, and their resistance to super solar wind is relatively weak.
The ship's crimson energy shield was like a resin film greenhouse in a sandstorm, and after only holding on for a short while, it was torn to pieces, or simply torn apart and blown away.
Then there is the burning of the ship itself, which is like a stewed crockpot chicken, the problem is that the ship itself is sealed, there are no pores, and the internal substances are rapidly heated and expand, and they will inevitably find an outlet, so they will spill from the weakest place.
At this time, the weakest point of the ship is precisely the side facing the solar wind, and the hull of the ship changes drastically due to the high temperature heating, and the material properties change drastically, and it quickly reaches a magma-like state.
Then, under pressure from within, it erupts violently outward.
Although this eruption is not as fast as the spread of the shock wave after the bomb explodes, it is still extremely violent. However, in the face of the heat of the super solar wind, these materials, including oxygen, are quickly ignited to form a fierce fire.
So the vista looks like a furnace pouring fuel oil, the solar wind only has the high temperature and no open flame, and the fuel is ignited in the process of falling, forming a reverse flame in the light, like firing a cannon under the front illumination of the spotlight in the dark night.
This is true for one ship, and it is basically the same for hundreds, thousands of ships.
Once the solar wind shines through, these ships are like caterpillars that have been trampled hard, their epidermis cracked, spewing out bodily fluids, and when viewed from a distance, they are large and small spots of sparks.
There was silence in space, but the destruction of a large number of ships still made death seem magnificent.
The smallest ships of the Locust fleet are more than 600 meters long, which is about the length of two Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. The length and width of a standard football field is only 105×68 meters, and the interior space of a ship that can accommodate six football fields vertically can be imagined.
But now, such ships are only the sampans that can hardly withstand the wind and rain, and although they are wrapped in the center of the fleet array, the torrent of high-energy ions still makes them unbearable, and they are almost destroyed in the bright light along with the large ships on the periphery.
Only ships that are far from the innermost side of the fleet (relative to the direction of the solar wind) have a certain chance of surviving.
In short, once in the irradiated area, it is all kinds of miserable, looking at it from a distance, a long snake that was originally plump and uniform has become a bamboo snake at the moment, and the crimson one has obvious light and dark differences, and even fractures, and those that are dim and broken are the parts that are missing a large number of ships.
Soon after, the Light Spear Strike of the Outland City-State also arrived, and although the effect of the blow was far less than that of the Super Solar Wind, it still surprised the locust fleet swarm.
The Leopard Man made the tactical choice of using the giant ship as a shield to provide protection for the ships behind it.
But the power of the light spear exceeded their expectations by at least 30 percent.
This means that they thought that the giant ship would be able to resist the attack, which was a misconception, and it was only after the first wave of blows that they realized that the supply of the giant ship's energy shield could not meet the needs of consumption.
But at this time, it's too late to dodge.
That is also to dodge, the giant ship is their trump card, and they would rather lose ten ordinary ships than lose one giant ship.
As a result, the ships at the back of the fleet used their death certificates that any ship except the giant ship could withstand the blow of the barespear.
The energy intensity, the irradiation time, and the specific parameters of the light spear fired by the warship of the outer city-state are already the optimal solution after calculation.
Fighting against the alien fleet before, the battleship AI accumulated a lot of shelling-related data. In addition, there have been many fragmentary technological breakthroughs in the weapons manufacturing process since the beginning of the year.
For example, the current light spear excitation system uses organic matter that is already version 2.0, a special material born from the gene of another organism, which is a superconductor that is incomparable to any known material, and its appearance has increased the performance of the light spear by 4 percentage points.
Of course, this superconductor is not only used in the light spear, it is very widely used, especially the generation of materials is relatively cheap, mainly reflected in the low requirements for the generation of raw materials, coupled with its rapid production, so once it came out, it quickly replaced similar products and ranked first in superconducting materials.
In addition, the valuable attributes of the biological tissues of alien organisms are far more than superconductivity, in fact, the genes of alien organisms are simply a magical treasure, and they are extremely valuable to dig into. Relatively speaking, the application of alien organisms' own technology can be said to be superficial, and their potential is extremely great.
Improved light spear weapons, the power, duration, and method of the optimal solution have been adjusted, creating a deadly threat. Not only are ordinary ships with one shot, but even giant ships cannot withstand more than two waves of continuous blows.
Soon, the Leopards were in place, and their tactical mistakes paid the price, as a giant ship was sliced through by a light spear and then imploded, becoming a mass of space junk.
And then the second, the Nth......
The cross-fire between the super-solar wind of the alien creatures and the T-shaped guns of the outland city-states caused the locust fleet to suffer.
When they finally entered the ecliptic plane and counted them, they found that there were only more than 20,000 ships left in the queue.
As many as 4,000 ships had been left behind, and to their resentment, the fleets of the outer city-states had appeared in the corresponding airspace and began to mend the wounded ships.
Indeed, the flotillas of the 4th to 12th reconnaissance ships took part in this extermination operation.
Each fleet is thirty reconnaissance ships, and in this form of external attachments, eight MAs are carried, so this is 240 ships and 1920 MAs.
They engaged in fierce battles with the wounded and straddled Leopard ships, basically brutal and swift siege tactics, rather than reconnaissance first, knocking out the opponent's eyes with counter-reconnaissance means, and then talking about anything else. The crude and simple method can save time, and according to Xu Changqing's order, he would rather fight for casualties than speed.
In addition to not giving those injured Leopard Men ships time to repair, another reason for doing this is that the main battleship group of the foreign fleet is about to face off with the Leopard People, and Xu Changqing is eager to learn more about the combat methods of the Leopard Man ships.
And the endangered leopard man injured the ship and did not hesitate to use all the means available to resist, so Xu Changqing saw the laser cannon and the light spear.
Xu Changqing is psychologically prepared for these. After all, with the high speed of the locust fleet swarm exceeding 8 million kilometers per hour, its power system can be called surging energy, and in such a technological background, it is normal to give birth to laser cannons and light spears.
As a jump fleet, but the ammunition is not as good as carrying fuel, and the fuel can be converted into more energy, so energy weapons appear to be more cost-effective.
Although the locust ship is not bad, the injured ship is a typical tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs.
Slow and lonely, the ships were besieged and bitten, then torn apart one by one.
Faced with this situation, the locust fleet swarm responded, and they sent a fleet of about a thousand ships in total to turn back to the rescue.
At the same time, their large fleets did not rush to move on, but slowed down and began to resupply and repair, as well as regroup the fleet.
In addition, the space on the ecliptic surface has a higher content of matter per unit volume, and the loss of high-speed navigation will be greater, and the locust fleet swarm finally reduced its speed to 900,000 kilometers per hour and moved slowly.
However, the reconnaissance equipment was launched.
This kind of reconnaissance machine, which is launched at high speed like a cannonball, will fly in a swarm in a certain direction under the action of inertia, and then the locust fleet will launch information relay equipment at intervals, so that it is like a wireless camera with its own lighting, constantly moving forward in the dark night, shooting, and then transmitting back the captured content.
As a result, they were subjected to a rain of nuclear shells.
The spiral-accelerated nuclear electromagnetic rapid-fire cannon, more than 30 million rounds, was fired in just three seconds.
It was then detonated in the calculated intersection area, and a large number of miniature nuclear explosions filled the area, and the probes launched by the locust fleet swarm, like moths to the fire, rushed into the area and were destroyed.
After that, they will also be intercepted by MAs.
Xu Changqing's order to the fleet group of foreign city-states is to fight how extravagant, don't be afraid of waste, and let the products play their role.
Therefore, after the locust fleet swarm launched the second, third, and fourth probes, each time it was resolutely attacked by the foreign fleet. If you don't feel sorry for the ammunition, you have to exchange it with the other party.
The locust fleet swarm can't afford to change, they jump in, it is impossible for the ship to carry too much reconnaissance equipment, and the reason why it can release so many waves is also because the total number of ships is huge, one ship carries five detectors, and there are a total of 100,000 detectors.
With the distance between the two sides below 100 million kilometers, the Locust Fleet still didn't have much information about the fleet of the outer city-states.
The coverage of nuclear shells, as well as the interception of MA, have played a role, and there are few detectors that have slipped through the net.
In this way, it is difficult for the fleet groups of foreign city-states that use large force fields to block faults to be peeped into by them.
Pandemic force field blocking, which is a benefit that can only be obtained by fighting similar positional warfare, with a huge energy generator, forming a force field area in space, is like pulling a big curtain, and it will be difficult for the opponent's detection equipment to see through the content behind the curtain.
When the distance between the two sides approached 60 million kilometers, they invariably opened fire with all their might.
Needless to say, let's talk about the secondary weapons of both sides.
The secondary weapon of the Locust Fleet Swarm is the laser cannon. This beam has very low dispersion and retains energy intensity, making it suitable for long-range irradiation.
And the warships of the outer city-states are also dominated by laser and laser cannons.
The two sides shelled, and the total number of ships on the side of the foreign city-states was only one-fifth of that of the other side, but the counter-reconnaissance was done in place, and the shooting accuracy was high.
The locust fleet swarm was superior to the number of ships and the firepower coverage provided by the dense arrangement of the bow batteries.
For the locust fleet swarm, by calculating the trajectory of the light spear of the outer city-state, it is possible to roughly confirm its location, and then bombard that area.
Against this background, the foreign fleet, as a party fighting positional warfare, was able to give full play to its advantage of waiting for work......
