Chapter 476: Moths to the Fire [4000 words, thanks to the CLV orange boss's Silver Alliance!] 】
Even the top brass of the empire never imagined that when the final battle had just passed the tentative period, the compound eyes opened a new hole card, and the extremely difficult battle period was approaching, the porters who should have scattered as stars according to the original plan would actually come against the current.
If they escape, they will probably live for a few more years, or until the end of their lives.
Most of the porters had no professional military training, and even those who were veterans were too old to handle weapons of war with high intensity.
In addition, the ship's ship, as a civilian and industrial type, is equipped with outdated weapon systems, and the ship's acceleration performance is extremely poor.
Although the base of the carrier fleet is huge, it really has no combat effectiveness, and it can't help a lot if it comes.
The upper echelons of the Empire would rather these people be the last utopia of human civilization, and live one more day in the galaxy as a space wandering race.
As long as there is one person alive, it means that the human race has not been completely extinct.
But they disobeyed the order and returned.
There is no turning back.
Soon, the human hierarchy knew from the Captain's Charge and Roar of the Captain of the Mover 37415 what prompted them to go and return.
Before the ship was torn apart by the eight-legged beetle, the man said in a calm tone: "I would rather die on the battlefield than to be a survivor and die alone in the deep space of the universe like a lost dog." At least I was on the way to the same destination, and I could be regarded as fighting side by side with the sage. ”
This simple sentence represents the last ideal of the vast majority of porter warriors who are traveling from distant galaxies to shadow galaxies.
There is one thing to do.
or lighter than a feather.
Or heavier than Mount Tai.
But Hongmao and Mount Tai are both posthumous, and no matter what later generations say, the dead are inaudible and invisible.
No matter how high the glory is, for the living, it is not as calm as the last moment of life.
The porters who go and return are pursuing this moment of calmness.
……
The appearance of the Star Shattering Cannon, one bastion ship at a time, inflicted heavy damage on the first line of defense of mankind and posed a huge threat.
Luckily, not every prism has a Star Shattering Cannon.
Of the more than 30,000 prisms, a total of more than 300 cones were spent.
In addition to maintaining the suppression of conventional forces, these more than 300 Star Shattering Cannons are constantly recharged, and then continue to harvest the human fortress with a seemingly small and subtle faint beam.
The human fleet is still trying to get close to the prismatic ship, even if it is to use its own hull to help the fortress ship block a shot.
Humanity has become more informed.
But the prism has gradually consumed all the mines, and at the same time, it has laid down a mysterious and insidious dark energy fog along the way, as well as countless small self-detonating flies lurking between the crevices of the fog.
Self-detonating flies are not very helpful when attacking, but they are very effective when it comes to forming a defensive front.
It is difficult for humans to rely on conventional maneuvers to get close to enemy ships.
The tried-and-true curve accelerated, and the strategy of direct delivery through the hypercurved movement gradually became ineffective.
There are more and more formless silk threads arranged in the universe.
Although the human fleet has been able to tear through the unified freezing force through the powerful super-curved engine in the frozen silk thread, and barely move, it is also as if it is stuck in a quagmire, and it is impossible to escape the encirclement and suppression of antimatter interference bubbles, white beams, and swarming small combat units.
Without the massive fleet of porters who sacrificed their lives to help, the Shadow System's first chain fortress defensive formation would have been breached in three hours.
But since the arrival of the first Carrier Fleet, these civil, commercial, and industrial ships have begun to appear at an average frequency of thousands per hour, and have reached the core point in a super-curved motion, aiming at the main prismatic ships loaded with the Star Shattering Cannons to launch a moth-to-fire death.
It may be that the weapon performance of these ships can't keep up, and even the enemy ship's shield can't be broken, but it doesn't matter, when the ship just breaks away from the hypercurved motion, there will be a very short process of advancing forward at an infinitely close to the speed of light, and then it will gradually slow down due to the suppression of space.
The intention of these porter ships is to use the speed of nearly the speed of light to throw their own weight fiercely.
Even if it was just a piece of mud, moving at the speed of light and slapping on something, the power was infinitely close to that of heavy artillery bombardment, not to mention that it was still a metal creation of hundreds of tons or tens of thousands of tons.
Some of the advanced and heavy carrier ships can even really break through the enemy's protective layer and slam into their bodies.
The Carrier Fleet's Death Shock did cause a lot of trouble for the Compound Eyes, causing the Shattered Star Cannon to fire a lot less frequently.
Chen Feng has seen countless battles in the past hundred years.
He also boasted that he had seen too many casualties.
But at this moment, the impact on him once again subverted his cognition.
In the past, Chen Feng was accustomed to the hard work of the leaders and the sacrifice of the soldiers, and he had also seen the decisiveness of civilians many times.
But the shock of moths from all directions still violently pounding his soul as it continued.
With the spirit that Chen Feng once could not understand as a young man born in the 21st century in the era of peace, mankind is stacking the ladder to victory layer by layer with blood, bones and life.
No one is born despicable, and no one is born noble.
People come blank.
One part of a person's personality is predestined, but another part is subject to external circumstances.
After hundreds of years of fear and a hundred years of struggle, there are no mortals in this world, and everyone who is still alive is a warrior.
Everyone has seen too many sacrifices of others and has endured too many trials and tribulations in the flames of war.
Everyone has lost family and friends, even netizens who play games and adventures together in the quantum network, or brag about chatting and exchanging knowledge.
In the past 100 years, social networks have not completely stopped.
People from different regions with common hobbies form small social networks one after another.
From time to time, the avatars in the network go off one after the other.
After these avatars are extinguished, others can click on each other's social profiles to see what year, month, time, and place the person died in what capacity, or in battle.
All these constitute the worldview of the world today.
Of course the porters will come back.
……
Three days.
The Carrier fleet bought three more days for the Chain Bastion formation.
The collapse of the formation of the first line of defense, which should have occurred two days and twenty-one hours ago, was postponed to three days later.
At this time, it has been fifteen days since the final battle began.
The Shadow Academy led by Ou Qinglan finally came up with a new result.
TNT - Beam Energy Bomb.
The name sounds loud, but the technology content is unprecedented.
In the TNT-beam bomb, it also incorporated the important information exchanged by countless soldiers and carriers in the past fifteen days.
The first half of the TNT is named after a great explosive object that commemorates an ancient invention.
Invented in 1863, TNT has played an important role in the history of civilization, a double-edged sword, which has been stained with blood in wars, but it has greatly accelerated the efficiency of human mining and resource exploitation, laying a solid foundation for the next industrial revolution.
It is impossible to deny the damage caused by TNT to mankind in war, and it cannot be ignored that it has played an important role as a booster in the progress of civilization.
The latter two words, as the name suggests, are to bind various different blasting energies into one bomb.
The beam bomb incorporates 70% of the most powerful means of destruction that humanity has ever mastered.
Countless high-power lethal means were all kneaded into a bomb with a diameter of only half a meter.
The different blast energies are stacked on top of each other in precisely calculated combinations.
The blast time accuracy of these blast energies will be controlled within 10 minus 15 seconds, and the blast diffusion distance will be controlled to the extent of 1/1000th nanometer.
After detonation, different blasting energies will be briefly confined to the suppression of special materials, and rapidly diffuse along the internal veins, forming continuous polymeric changes in a chain reaction, and finally exploding, creating a shock wave comparable to that of a high-energy supernova blast within a range of millions of kilometers.
According to the calculations of the Academy of Sciences, the beam energy bomb can theoretically cause a considerable degree of impact on the shell of the prismatic ship, and even has the possibility of softening its material and then transmitting energy into it.
Of course, it is still impossible to completely destroy the prism ship with a single bomb.
Humans have long practiced Chen Feng's tricks to perfection.
Anyway, I don't have hope, it doesn't matter whatever.
In short, the best way is to put the first beam bomb test explosion inside the prism.
Blow it up inside first, and see what fireworks can be blown up at the bottom.
Internal detonation, the latest test scheme proposed by the Empire's top brass that has never been done before.
That's because I didn't dare to think about it before, I didn't have a chance.
After all, for most of the time, the shell of the prism ship is formed in one piece, and it is seamless.
But now the situation has changed, when the front end of the prism is opened and the star cannon is stretched out, the structure of the prismatic ship's one-piece shell will be actively unraveled, and the internal structure of the prismatic ship will be slightly exposed.
While the interior still has an armor lining of the same material as the shell, the movable shell would have exposed the seams.
In previous wars, the heavy weapons of the human race have repeatedly seized the opportunity for the central part of the prismatic ship to open its mouth when it unleashes its forces to the outside world.
There is conclusive evidence that when the prism is opened, the material at the internal interface will change in nature, and the balance of the surface protective force field will be slightly tilted, and heavy weapons will be able to cause even greater changes when hit.
And the Star Shatterer Cannon takes up to six minutes to recharge!
Since then, the Compound Eye's Star Shatter Cannon has gone from a shadow of destruction hanging over humanity to an opportunity.
Finding a way to throw the beam bomb into the crack of the prismatic ship and detonate it when the Star Shatter Cannon was activated became the next theme.
After careful argumentation, the command drew up a strict implementation plan.
In order to cooperate with the bomb dropping operation, the Academy of Military Sciences heavily modified a pair of Star Shadow Battle Armor.
The special Star Shadow Armor is equipped with an experimental True Unity Force Shield that has just been developed.
The entire armor has also been replaced with new materials.
In this material, which has just passed the reliability test, the researchers have integrated their understanding of the core of the Mystery Race, the core of the Blade Mantis Refractory Engine, and all the idiosyncratic materials collected over hundreds of years, so that the molecules have built a strangely stable force field with each other without a significant increase in the density of internal protons.
The material's stability, toughness, ability to cushion energy shocks and live-fire weapons, and propagation blocking of transmitted particles have all reached incredible heights, while its density has decreased by 30% compared to the past.
Thanks to the lightweight of the new material, the mobility of the special Star Shadow Armor has been greatly improved.
The Academy of Sciences has added several new omnidirectional media engines and improved the performance of the curvature engine by 12%.
This gives the Special Star Shadow Armor's full-width redirection ability much more.
In addition, two new antimatter blast engines have been added, which make the Warframe's ability to change direction left and right even more incredible.
However, such a powerful antimatter blasting antithrust will cause the acceleration to exceed the limit of the curvature-like bubble, and re-establish the connection between the inner space and the outer space.
Inertia can cause great damage to the operator inside.
At the same time, the armor can't really build a perfect curvature bubble and enter the subspace, which may instantly pass over the enemy ship and fail to achieve the purpose of accurately dropping bombs.
The operator, in turn, had to jam the equipment below the speed of light.
In addition, most of the mid- and long-range weapon systems on the Special StarShadow Armor were removed to facilitate the sprint, leaving only two short-range PET Guns.
The dismantled magazine was replaced with a Multi Composite Shield Generator, giving this special armor twice the shield performance of regular Star Shadow Armor.
This series of modifications almost completely sacrificed the frontal combat capability of the special armor.
Its driver also has only one mission, to complete the bomb drop.
As for why not use intelligent missiles to drop bombs?
In the previous confrontation, it was clear that the Compound Eyed had also known that there was some risk to be taken every time he used the Star Shatterer, so he had additionally strengthened his front-end defense.
It is simply impossible for a human-controlled missile to break through the interception.
It is only possible that the top fighters must control the top individual equipment.
After two hours of intense selection, the person who won such a heavy task was selected.
Pound, the first commander of the Torrent Assault Team.
In fact, among Chen Feng's students, Pang De is not the strongest, and there are at least more than ten people whose strength is above Pang De.
But nearly sixty percent of the more than a dozen people are members of the Shadow Force, and the application for this group of people seems to have been rejected.
In addition, there are several people whose training performance is better than Pound's, but Pound personally led the torrent special attack team to fight with the enemy in high-intensity repeated battles in the past ten days, and after countless near-deaths, he performed exceptionally in the selection process, just overpowering others.
Before Pound set off, he was given the opportunity to briefly communicate with the philosopher Chen Feng for a minute in the dielectric layer quantum network.
It's not that Chen Feng doesn't have time, it's that Pang De doesn't have time, so he can only have a minute.
After setting up an appointment, Chen Feng arrived first.
With the help of technical personnel, a team of training instructors, and an assistance team, Pound is carrying out intensive assault reinforcement, mainly to standardize some operations and prepare some emergency plans in advance.
