Chapter Seventy-Four: The Cone Formation

Yang Jingzhong's fingers flicked lightly on the spherical fleet, and the neat queue immediately dispersed into scattered sand.

He picked out the flagship and placed it in the highest position, and the other four Sun-class battleships were placed in four positions, up, down, left and right, forming the shape of a cross. Four rays were emitted from the flagship, connected to the four battleships, and each ray was evenly distributed with the Haoyue-class cruisers.

After these tasks were done, Yang Jingzhong placed the "cross" horizontally, placed the palm of his right hand directly under the flagship, bent into a claw and pulled down a distance, so that the "cross" became a rough cone, and the four Sun-class battleships were located exactly at the midpoint of their respective buss. The vacant position was filled with a circle of Meteorite-class destroyers, and the empty area in the middle of the cone also filled all the remaining warships.

"Your name is Michael, aren't you?" Yang Jingzhong looked up at the little blue man, "Let the fleet adjust to this formation, let the flagship take the lead in person, and the rest will follow behind." ”

"However, such a formation is very dangerous for the flagship, and if the flagship is destroyed, the blow to morale will be unimaginable." Michael rejected Yang Jingzhong's proposal, and as a fleet microbrain, he did not allow Yang Jingzhong to put the flagship in such a dangerous position.

"If you don't get into the tiger's den, not to mention that I have fifteen Haoyue-class cruisers in the position behind the flagship, I believe that this level of shield is enough for us to rush to the Spirit Eater. Your simulation system should be able to draw this conclusion, right? ”

"It's because I don't know the exact size of the bugs near this planet that I can't simulate the future battle process, but as a microbrain, my program doesn't allow me to use such a formation." Michael shook his head, still refusing to agree to Yang Jingzhong's request to change the battle formation.

"Well, you look at the indicators on me, whether I am greedy for merit and quick success." Yang Jingzhong opened his hands and let Michael scan.

"No, the indicators are normal."

"In that case, then why not let me change the fleet? Doesn't the stipulation say that the orders given by the command personnel while they are awake must be carried out by the microbrain? "Yang Jingzhong is already starting to be a little annoyed, at this time, every second wasted, the fighter will disappear for a minute!

"But a higher-level rule says that when a commander makes an unreasonable order, the microbrain can withhold it."

"Not enforced, right? Well, Marauders, come here! Yang Jingzhong pulled the marauder to his side, "My microbrain told me that if the shipborne microbrain still disagrees with my plan, it can be handed over to the corresponding staff team for review, and if the review is passed, the microbrain must implement my combat plan." Now my staff team consists of me and the Marauders, and we both agree on my battle plan, which is the highest level, and now change the formation for me! Yang Jingzhong didn't waste time asking the marauder's opinion, anyway, the two of them were wearing the same pair of pants, and the marauder was not good at attacking, so he could only nod stupidly next to him about this kind of thing.

"Yes, I see." Michael fought for a second, and finally agreed, you know, for humans a second is fast, but for the microbrain is quite a long time, it is conceivable, in order to convince himself, Michael did a full simulation calculation.

Got Michael's affirmation, the fleet immediately took action, different from the previous outermost destroyer changes, this time it was a big change for the entire fleet, in the process of this change, the fleet shield will be constantly pulled, some places are strong and some places are weak, at this time, only five Sun-class battleships can overload their own shield launchers, try their best to keep the fleet shield on the verge of not collapsing.

"All the battleships, all the firepower is concentrated in the front, and the other directions are left alone." Yang Jingzhong saw that the formation of the fleet was roughly changed, and then immediately issued the first combat order.

The fleet's engines glowed intensely, and beams of light of various colors and sizes struck the bugs in front of them, sending their limbs flying everywhere. If space could make sounds, I believe you could hear the screams of many insects.

Due to the considerable concentration of fire, the fleet quickly tore a hole in it and broke out of the encirclement. The bugs also realized that this fleet formation could not simply attack from the front, so they began to concentrate their forces and attack from the flanks and rear, where the defense was relatively weak.

This method of attack did work, even with the shield reinforcement provided by the four Sun-class warships in the middle, the anti-aircraft firepower was reduced a lot, and it was easier for the bugs to rush to the fleet shield and weaken the strength of the shield. The battleships, which were furthest from the flagship, had begun to gradually lose the protection of the fleet's shields. Without the shield, the electronic equipment of these warships is equivalent to being exposed to the strong electromagnetic interference environment of the mother worm in an instant, and the high-precision instruments such as microbrains, star maps, radars, etc., are all ineffective. Without these instruments, the battleship would be blind and deaf, and could only watch as bugs invaded the interior of the battleship.

"Our fleet lost twenty cruisers and more than fifty destroyers." As soon as the fleet broke out of the encirclement, reports of Michael's losses came out.

"The losses are acceptable, move on." Yang Jingzhong glanced at the radar display map, most of the bugs were left behind, and there were probably three bug defense lines in front, but for the fleet after the firepower was concentrated, even if the bugs that surrounded the fleet in front were put together to form a defensive line, the offensive pressure of the fleet was much lighter than that of the spherical formation.

"It would be nice if we could do it all the time." Yang Jingzhong looked out the window, the free antimatter shield didn't know how many scorpions had been scorched, and the thickness of the shield itself had also dropped significantly, if the fleet was still in the encirclement now, the shield would probably have disappeared.

"Mr. Sea Shark, do you think you have a chance next?" The skua looked at Yang Jingzhong's back with a little surprise, the fleet had lost less than a quarter, but the Spirit Devouring Star was already close at hand.

"There's more to defending Soul Eater than just these forces you've seen right now." The sea shark was not worried at all, "Two years ago, when I followed the founder of the alliance to attack this soul devouring star, the bugs even had secret worms, and the bugs that rushed out of the body of the secret worm at that moment directly caused the annihilation of our entire fleet. Now it's up to the arbiters to weather that wave. ”

"Oh? However, if the Arbiter does not withstand the attack of the secret worm, your fleet will also suffer heavy losses, and at that time, even if he admits defeat, you will not have enough ships to continue the battle. ”

"Don't worry about this, my battleship has a special weapon to deal with insects, although it can only be disposable, but that alone is enough to destroy the wave of insects hiding in the body of the secret worm." The sea shark pointed to his microbrain and smirked at the skua twice, "I haven't told the arbiter about this secret weapon yet, hehe, now I'm just waiting for that wave." ”

Yang Jingzhong used his telescope to carefully look at the fifty Eritans blocking in front of him: "Michael, each Eritan has three trillion-megawatt beams, don't waste it." ”

"Understood."

"Hey, but depending on whether the number of bugs is a little less, there are only one hundred and fifty Eritans seen so far, and even if the five provincial fleets can't defeat them, they won't be able to escape. Michael, have you fought the Soul Eater before? Yang Jingzhong retracted his gaze, threw the telescope aside, and walked to the star map.

"No, I only followed the Sea Shark Commander half a year ago."

"Okay," Michael said, and Yang Jingzhong couldn't ask any further. "Adjust the distribution of the battleships behind, the cruisers behind the four Sun-class battleships are all concentrated in the upper part of the cone, ready to divide half of the destroyers out to attract firepower......"

"Sir, be careful!"

Before Yang Jingzhong could finish speaking, an Eritan suddenly rushed out from the left side, almost as if it had appeared from the void.

The flagship couldn't dodge, and was hit hard by Eritan, and the fleet shield collapsed in an instant under this huge impact, and the tidal wave of electromagnetic interference pulses hit the integrated circuit board, and all the precision instruments were flashing, and sparks flew everywhere. If it weren't for the battleship's own anti-jamming ability, this alone would have been enough to blackout the entire battleship.

The crew inside the battleship was also knocked out of balance by this blow, Yang Jingzhong was okay, and he stumbled by the handrail on the side in time. The sea sharks were not so lucky, and they directly lost their center of gravity and hit the wall.

But there was more than one Eritan outside, a long line of Eritan appeared in the leftmost area of the entire fleet, and many cruisers were knocked off course and collided with the destroyers inside the cone. The wrecked battleships flew uncontrollably towards the friendly ships, as the fleet shields were destroyed and all the battleships were being recharged, and how the destroyers in the middle of the formation could withstand the onslaught of the massive cruisers. Coupled with the fact that the fleet was now in the midst of changing formations, the resulting chaos caused the entire fleet to lose nearly a third of it in just a few seconds.

"Fire!" Yang Jingzhong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the blow he had just hit caused a big hole in the wall of his left mouth, and now the blood couldn't stop flowing. "Damn, I forgot that the Zerg also has a special force like the Secret Worm."

"Lightning Chain Weapons, Activate." Michael's figure became very blurred due to electromagnetic interference, but this did not affect Yang Jingzhong's ability to understand what he said.

"Lightning chain? What is that? "Yang Jingzhong has never heard of this kind of weapon, and he has never heard of this thing when the NF fleet was fighting.

Arcs of electricity surround the hull, and although they look soft, they contain quite terrifying energy.

At first, the arc only circled around the surface of the ship, and then began to slowly spread outward, and the bugs that touched the arc were immediately scorched into black corpses. The arc continued to expand until it grew to about the size of two or three battleships, when it suddenly retracted into the battleship hull.

"This ...... That's it? The Marauder rubbed his broken head and looked out the window in disappointment, and when the arc came out, he instantly felt saved, but the arc only lasted about five seconds, and if it was just this level of defense, it was still not saved.

Suddenly, as if compressed, the battleship's energy burst out in a very short period of time. The arc of electricity generated by the explosion covered the entire fleet, and the scorpions and detonation insects that landed on or near the battleship were instantly burned to ashes, and the battleship with serious damage to the armor surface was also killed by this powerful arc energy field, and the entire battleship exploded into a fireball.

Just this moment completely wiped out the vitality of the fleet, and the fleet had plenty of time to recondense its shield.

"Grass! This fucking stuff is so exciting, Michael, when we're surrounded by bugs again, you're going to do it again and beat these dogs to death! Yang Jingzhong was stunned for a minute before he realized what was happening, and he didn't care about any civilized language, this weapon was too powerful, and a few more bugs could basically do it.
