Chapter 216: The Two Armies Face Each Other
The first to be noticed were the cannonballs accelerated by magnetic tracks, and from the radar organs, Hogu could perceive the uncountable projectiles that were densely packed on the positional planet and the alien home planet. ∵ Eight ∵ Eight ∵ Read ∵ Books, .↗.▲o
They are small for the planet, and they are millions of kilometers away from the position planet, which should not be easy to detect by radar, but they are too large to be so obvious in the radar echo, which is somewhat similar to the rings of Saturn.
"Tsk, isn't that the attack I used before?"
The live ammunition attack used by the aliens made Huo Gu a little surprised, you know, it was because it was inappropriate to use live ammunition in space warfare, so Huo Gu turned to laser weapons, but the aliens did the other way around......
Could it be that the first two failures made them think that the live ammunition class was better than the ray class?
Huo Gu was puzzled, but it was not idle under his hands, and the planetary giants governed by its will began to intercept.
If you want to ask what kind of means are most suitable for interception, it is of course a laser, in addition to the sub-light speed railgun, Hogu also prepared a laser for the incoming aliens - a giant heat-ray orbital array.
The sub-light railgun targets the enemy's home planet for long-range strikes, while the heat ray intercepts enemy attacking units.
It is true that aliens must be protected against heat rays, such as inert gas and reflective armor can greatly weaken the power of heat rays, but the volume of the giant structure is there, even if the principle of the laser is the same, the energy level is not comparable to the kind of small cannon made by the aliens.
Putting aside the volume and talking about the principle, you are playing hooligan!
The heat ray hit the projectile that was attacking the Positional Star, but instead of vaporizing as Hogu had expected, the projectile split into more small shells in the same direction, still heading towards the Positional Star. "Eight" "Eight" "Reading" book, .∞.o◎
"Hmm??? What the heck? ”
Hogu found that with laser interception, not only did the number of shells not decrease, but increased.
However, soon, Hogu got the information of optical observation from the mothership creatures that set out to meet him, and knew why the laser on his side did not have the effect it should have.
"Is it ...... bullet?"
Huo Gu, who was jumped down, settled down in his heart, and it was not a cannonball out of thin air, but a laser interception of a sub-munition was not useless.
The bullets that split from the mother bullet were locked by the radar and were jī guāng qì.
At this time, the mothership creatures and the three incoming alien fleets were 200,000 kilometers apart, and the large radars carried by the mothership units were the first to lock on to each other.
The weapons and equipment of the two sides are the same, but because the alien mothership class uses nuclear fusion, the alien is superior in terms of energy output power, so in terms of power, the mothership-class laser rays are more powerful.
In terms of protection, mothership creatures are less immune to kinetic energy than the alien mothership class, but the structural strength of mothership creatures is stronger than that of mothership classes, and in terms of self-healing, organisms with self-thinking are more effective than non-self-conscious nanomachines.
Thermal, X-ray, α-ray, neutron ray, β-ray...... The two mothership units greet each other with various types of laser rays.
Multiple compound attacks, and the use of concentrated fire tactics, even the defense of the mothership units could not withstand it, in just a few hours, five or six mothership units on both sides fell one after another, and the first confrontation, no one got any benefit from the other side.
"Spiral defensive array, deploy!"
Such electromagnetic wave commands were issued by the three flagships, and the alien fleet began to change, those ships were entrenched in the space around the mothership, and then a large number of autonomous ships were wrapped in the most wài wéi spiral motion, and a dynamic physical barrier of a triple line of defense was constructed.
After a period of fighting, the mothership creatures found themselves faintly showing a disadvantage, their ray attacks were still powerful, but the alien formation, which would allow other ships to block the light path of the ray from time to time to share the power, and the losses of other alien ships, especially autonomous ships, were very large, but the mothership class was relatively almost no loss, while the mothership creatures were dying one after another.
It doesn't hurt to feel the loss of any aliens on the autonomous ship, it's just an unmanned mass production, there is a production line on the mothership, the wreckage of the autonomous ship is salvaged back, and after smelting, processing and assembly, it is another intact autonomous ship to the battlefield.
"Use the descendants! We learn from them, too! ”
The mothership creatures use electromagnetic waves to communicate with each other, and a large number of offspring are released, which learn the movement of the autonomous ship, taking on a spiral formation.
For this formation, the mothership creatures were very unfamiliar, and after losing a lot of mothership individuals, they learned under the pressure of survival, however, not long after, the mothership creatures still sent electromagnetic waves to Hogu in the rear to ask for help.
"Will! We are at a disadvantage! Support needed! ”
Although it is also possible to use the spiral formation, the mothership creatures' close defense subgeny is not comparable to the alien autonomous ship, and the loss is very large, if it is not for the strong reproductive ability, the spiral formation has been torn open.
At the beginning, when Huo Gu designed the substructure, he didn't consider this spiral formation, he was thinking about dealing with the close defense of autonomous ships and loud missiles, and the aliens were specially designed with the spiral formation in mind.
And as the distance narrowed, when they were 300,000 kilometers apart, those alien long-range firepower ships also began to release firepower, and the spiral formation that the mothership creatures barely maintained finally couldn't withstand all kinds of flaws.
If this continues, they will definitely lose, and the mothership creatures have no choice but to turn to their supreme will for help.
Fleets are close to each other, and the same is true between planets, and the battle here is that Hogu has the upper hand, because of its capabilities, both offensive and defensive flexibility, with a giant heat-ray orbital array, although the aliens fired a vast number of cannonballs, but none of them were able to break through the defensive line.
Hogu, on the other hand, is using sub-light shells to bombard the aliens' home planet from a distance, disrupting their industrial production lines and cutting off the rear supply of the alien fleet.
Huo Gu, who received the request for help, hesitated for a moment, and it glanced at the projectiles that were already left, thinking that this little live ammunition would not be too harmful, so he let some of the heat rays turn to the alien mothership class.
With the firepower added by Hogu, the situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant, and the heat rays were very good to defend, but the energy level of the heat rays released by the giant structure was too high, unless it could achieve a 100% reflectivity like a neutron degenerate material, otherwise, even if it was designed to defend against heat rays, it would be just a futile effort.
Mothership-class ships and other ships around them are easily blown out like candles, and mothership creatures take advantage of the victory to chase after them, pouring their own firepower to destroy the enemy as quickly and completely as possible.
Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived, and after destroying a considerable number of enemy motherships, the mothership creatures discovered that the fire support given to them by Hogu was abruptly cut off...... 11
