Chapter 495: Hollowed Out, Right?

Since the age of thermal weapons, physical armor has gradually been obsolete by the times.

Whether it's guns and gunpowder, or more advanced energy weapons, they all have the ability to break through the defense of the target beyond a level.

During World War II, the Yamato, whose armor was as thick as 650mm and known as the world's first battleship, was sunk by aerial bombs and torpedoes.

The next history of the development of large-scale weapons in various countries is to develop in the direction of "hiding deeper, running faster, and hitting more accurately."

After entering the interstellar era, the Gemini civilization developed force field shield technology, which rewrote the embarrassing situation of protection technology, but although the space warships are also getting bigger and bigger, Gemini has never thought of using thicker armor to improve the defense of the spaceship.

Before the breakthrough in material technology, the increase in armor thickness can bring about a negligible increase in defensive power, and the input and output are completely disproportionate.

However, for the immortals, the huge body with a strong recovery ability is inherently a super meat shield that prevents high blood thickness.

The dense foliage alone is two or three kilometers thick, and the protection capacity is not far behind the super-strong armor layer of two or three kilometers, forming a natural barrier.

After experiencing the "Fire Tribulation", the water of life fully stimulates the evolutionary potential of the immortals, and the optimized new leaves are more powerful, not only have stronger resistance to high temperatures, but also evolve the low-level ability of "photosynthesis" into a magical ability such as "primary energy absorption", and the absorption and transformation ability of microwaves and high-energy photons has been enhanced by leaps and bounds!

While the energy rays bring a certain amount of damage, they will also be absorbed by the immortals, weakening the attack and at the same time, it can also be used to speed up the repair of damaged parts, even Nie Yun is quite amazed by this new ability.

Coupled with the ultra-highly reflective mechanical insect plating, the frigate-level beam weapon can no longer cause much damage to the immortals.

Of course, it didn't mean that this wave of attacks was useless, at least the extremely penetrating force field rays not only broke a lot of branches, but also caused some damage to the immortal's body.

However, the dense foliage creates a good visual obscuration, and the Gemini cannot assess the effect of their own attacks, so on the surface, it seems that the Immortals are really unscathed in this wave of attacks!

Then the next moment, the Immortals, who had just shocked the Twin Stars with their strong defense, decisively launched a counterattack!

I saw that the branches were rapidly dislocated and moved, and dozens of pupil-like "shooting holes" were quickly relinquished.

In the next moment, the cone-shaped arrow-like immortal seemed to have turned into a glowing hedgehog, shooting dozens of thick beams of light up and down his body, and the momentum even exceeded the salvo of the main cannon of the Sea Clan fleet!

"Not good! Evade quickly! The two commanders exclaimed.

However, after just a few seconds, two huge fireballs exploded in the fleet of the Sea Clan, and the two warships turned into cosmic dust, becoming the first victims of this encounter.

Not only that, but the shields of three or four battleships that were affected by the attack plummeted to dangerous values!

The Sea Clan Interception Fleet had actually already entered the range of the Immortals' firepower, and Nie Yun waited until the distance was closer before he began to launch the first round of attacks, and the close salvo really brought rich results!

This is not a surprise sneak attack of the "Houyi class", but a head-to-head confrontation after the sea clan fleet has made full preparations, killing two warships in one face, which is definitely a manifestation of hard power!

"Yes...... It's a fortress-class main gun! At least more than 10 doors! The observer shouted in a panic.

When all the Sea Clan officers heard this number, the cold sweat on their faces came down.

Isn't it a cosmic creature in its own right? What's the deal with a fortress weapon of this density?

Is this the mechanization of cosmic creatures, or the living organisms of mechanical fortresses?

According to their original expectations, even if this cosmic creature has been mechanized, at most it will be a jeep with a machine gun, and it will be the firepower of an armed jeep.

The result? You converted a Tiger tank out of a Jeep? Like words?!

The reason why the fortress gun is called the fortress gun is because its energy supply, cooling and other supporting facilities occupy too much space, and it is not at all moved by ordinary small warships.

If you follow this density of weapons, this big tree ...... I'm afraid it's been hollowed out, right?

Immortal: "......"

Although it is not hit, it is not far away......

As the saying goes, people live with a face, trees live with a bark, and the central xylem of woody plants is not indispensable, as long as it is not completely defective, it will not affect the internal material exchange of trees, which is why hollow old trees can still survive.

In this respect, the plant system is a type of cosmic creature that is more suitable for fortress transformation than the animal system, and it has innate excellent compatibility!

Although they were shocked by the Immortals' astonishing offensive and defensive capabilities, the two commanders of the Sea Clan were also experienced in battle, and immediately analyzed the characteristics of the enemy and began to issue a series of targeted orders.

"Spread out on both flanks, pay attention to maneuvering to avoid enemy fire!"

"Replace kinetic weapons for area fire coverage! Shoot special missiles to test your enemies' weak spots! ”

"The minelayer releases a dark mine and blocks its forward channel!"

……

As the order was given, the Sea Clan's fleet slowly moved towards its flanks, out of the way of the channel directly in front of the Immortals, apparently preparing to avoid its edge.

At the same time, the bow of each ship poked out of the extended firing track, and in a burst of dark blue lightning, "Whoosh! "Countless solid alloy rods were shot out at high speed by the electromagnetic track, and the target was directed at the Immortals!

More than a dozen small minelayers threw out a series of floating dark mines the size of a basketball, and these inconspicuous dark mines relied on inertia to sprinkle very evenly towards the path of the immortals.

There is no such thing as the most powerful weapon, only the most suitable one!

This is the famous statement of the Gemini military guru Thompson.

Since energy weapons are not effective, then use kinetic weapons!

Although the Immortals' massive bodies have innate advantages in attack and defense, they are not completely without weaknesses.

With the exception of the solar sails, the Immortals' acceleration ability is entirely dependent on the Roots' high-powered thruster sets, which propel the huge Immortals to one-way acceleration with decent results, as for the ability to change directions...... It's basically zero!

For an immortal who takes dozens of minutes to turn around, agility ...... It's the biggest shortcoming of the immortals!

And ultra-low agility naturally means ultra-low dodge, even if you predict the enemy's attack direction in advance, you basically can't avoid it instantly, which makes the sea clan see the opportunity!

Kinetic weapons have a slow rate of fire, and they are easily evaded by flexible and mobile space warships on the interstellar battlefield, so they can basically only be used as short-range combat weapons, but in terms of armor-piercing ability, even if it is a small celestial body tens of kilometers away, a high-speed electromagnetic projectile can pierce the heart with one arrow!

The two commanders are obviously not straw bales, this weapon is used against the Immortals, and it is undoubtedly more lethal than energy-type weapons!

Countless projectiles carrying huge kinetic energy struck at a rapid pace, but the trunk of the immortal's body suddenly began to flicker with a faint blue lightning......
