Chapter 340: Falling into passivity
In order to achieve the most fruitful results at the lowest cost, then the commanders of each combat unit must have a wealth of experience in star warfare, and even have the plan of action accurate to every move, every turn, and every shelling.
Viking fighters and iron crows aside, the Zerg's corruptors and wyverns do not have advanced intelligence, only some combat instincts, if they are allowed to attack freely, it is very likely to cause some unnecessary losses.
Tang Fang is a person with limited mental power, and it is impossible to process this information at the speed of trillions of times per second and TM multiple parallel operations like a quantum computer. Of course, it's a bit exaggerated to use a quantum computer as an analogy, in short, the brain can't keep up, if you want to minimize the loss, the best way is to connect all the Zerg units to Emma's command network, which requires an antenna, obviously, the king worm as the node of the Zerg spiritual network is that antenna.
Tang Fang finally understood a reason, why the size of the master was so big, how could it control such a huge group as the Zerg if it didn't have a sufficiently developed head. Well, in fact, he admires Sister Kai even more, Ding brand high heels are not awkward and don't mention it, with such a small head to control the huge alien insect army, it is shocking to think about it.
After connecting to Emma's command network, the coordination between the Zerg and Terran forces became more tacit, and the Wyvern gave full play to its flexibility, cooperating with the Viking fighters, covering the Corruptors, Iron Ravens, and medical transports carrying high-level Templars behind them, while breaking up their troops and rushing towards Lancelot's Guards at maximum speed.
SURE ENOUGH, THE FLYING DRAGONS AND VIKING FIGHTERS ATTRACTED THE FIREPOWER OF A LARGE NUMBER OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED SHIPS OF THE GUARD FLEET, AND THE KINETIC ENERGY PROJECTILES OF 220MM AND 160MM CALIBER, AS WELL AS A LARGE NUMBER OF MISSILES, BROKE THROUGH THE AIR AND RAINED ON THEIR FLIGHT PATHS.
The 16 cruisers and Lancelot's flagship "Silver Wheel" were like pillars in the rapids, unmoved.
In order to give Tang Fang a little color. THE SILVER WHEEL DID NOT USE THE 1200MM ORBITAL CANNONS ON THE AUXILIARY HULLS ON BOTH SIDES, BUT DIRECTLY USED THE 650MM PLASMA CANNONS ABOVE THE MAIN HULL.
In the spurt of thunder, a thick cyan blue beam of light instantly pierced the night sky, passing through the gap between the flying dragon and the Viking fighter, and directly hitting the eye worm that was not flying at a high speed.
The scorching hot plasma burns the outer carapace at once, and the hot plasma quickly pours into the muscle tissue. Then, to the end, a large hole more than one meter wide was made in the body of the euglena insect nearly 30 meters wide. If viewed from a distance, the surge that bounced off when the plasma beam hit the carapace was like a large fireball, enveloping half of the eyeworm's body in the blink of an eye. Then, like a piercing arrow, the blue light flickered away until it reached the end of sight.
After about 1 second, the blue light flashed a few times before turning into a glimmer of light as the spot of light escaping from the plasma cannon muzzle faded. Eventually disappeared.
At this time, the 1200MM orbital cannons on the two auxiliary hulls of the "Silver Wheel" slowly rotated, spraying thunderbolts one after another. The high-speed projectile flashed like a meteor dragging light and fire, and it flashed like lightning, smashing the two king insects that had no time to dodge into a puddle of rotten meat.
THERE ARE ALSO 160MM LASER CANNON GROUPS ON BOTH SIDES, WHICH SHOOT ROWS OF PARALLEL LASER BEAMS ONE AFTER ANOTHER, AND COOPERATE WITH THE 32-HOLE FLYING THUNDER LAUNCHERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SIGHTSEEING DECK CABIN, REFLECTING THE SURROUNDING AREA OF THE "SILVER WHEEL" WITH BRILLIANCE.
16 cruisers were also not idle. Two sets of 350mm twin laser cannons in the bow of the ship are designed to troubleshoot the Corruptor and the Iron Raven. True, the rate of fire of the laser is fast. It's hard to defend within a light-second combat radius. However, limited by technical obstacles such as power, crystal, focusing, and energy conversion, the range of today's laser cannons is not very high, and under the premise of taking into account the lethality, it can reach the level of battlefield application. In addition to that, since it is a directional weapon. Before attacking, it is necessary to turn the turret, fine-tune the firing angle, and lock on to the target, which gives the human and insect units a chance to dodge.
The large number of photoreceptors on the euglena is not a decoration, not even a wisp of smoke from the exhaust pipe. Don't even try to hide from them, let alone the fine-tuning of the turret. Of course, there are also iron crows, their sensing systems are not much better than eye worms, four high-resolution, multi-spectral cameras always pay attention to the battlefield movements, the system AI predicts the trajectory of laser cannons, orbital cannons, speed guns, and various types of flying mines, and summarizes them to the star orbit command center, and Emma calculates the appropriate dodge and flight paths, and then distributes them to each combat sequence.
Small agile units like Wyverns and Viking fighters, and large-caliber laser cannons from cruisers are naturally fine, but large units such as King Worms and Corruptors will inevitably be damaged.
For ordinary warships, once the armor is burned through by the laser cannon and the facilities inside the ship are damaged, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction. In many cases, even a single wound can cause the entire battleship to lose its combat capability, or even catch fire and explode. However, living warships such as the King Worm and the Corruptor that have the ability to regenerate tissues are not enough to pull them out of the battlefield unless they hit the point with a single hit.
In fact, deploying laser cannons can have both advantages and disadvantages for targets such as the Corruptor, King Worm, and Euglena. Lema, compared to the bulky orbital cannon, the hit rate is higher. The disadvantage is that the lethality is naturally weak, after all, it is a point attack, thermal damage, not like kinetic projectiles, which can cause facial injuries.
Don't look at Lancelot's Guards fleet, there are only hundreds, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is far more than the same number of Lector naval fleets, especially the "Silver Wheel", and the firepower is called a strong. Even with the assistance of Euglena, Iron Crows, and Fixed-Point Defense Target Aircraft, a large number of units were lost in the process of flying from the military port to the ship group.
6 Wyverns, 8 Viking fighters, 2 Euglena, 5 Corruptors, 1 Iron Raven, 7 King Worms, 29 units in terms of numbers alone.
Although the loss is not small, it is also expected by the Tang side, after all, in the cosmic battlefield, the corruptor belongs to the medium-range attack unit, the flying dragon is the king of melee combat, and the long-range combat belongs to their weakness. The Viking fighter is just the opposite of the Iron Crow, the MT50 Lanzel Flying Mine and Hunting Missile have a long range, fast speed, and high damage. In particular, hunting missiles not only have a strong anti-jamming ability, but also are quite amazing in terms of power.
In this round of fighting, the Tang side lost 29 units, and Lancelot's Guards also lost 7 frigates. 2 destroyers were incapacitated, 1 cruiser was half-crippled by hunting missiles.
34 to 9, on the surface, it seems that Tang Fang is at a loss, but in fact, it has taken a lot of advantage. How much does your unit cost? And how much does Lancelot's fleet cost? Take the Corruptor, for example, 400 crystals. 400 gas. Aside from crystals, when it comes to gas alone, it is almost 20 million if it is converted into MYD, which is just a "Thunder Wings" Cheng dù. And what about corvettes? The cost of one is between 1.5 billion and 3.5 billion, a difference of 100 times.
Besides, a large number of Corruptors and Wyverns are already close to the ship, and it will naturally be the turn of the insect swarm.
According to Tang Fang's instructions, air combat units such as Wyverns, Corruptors, and Viking fighters focused their attacks on those cruisers and small and medium-sized ships. Leave Lancelot's flagship, the "Silver Wheel", for last.
As there were other air units in front of them to attract the ship's firepower, the medical transport plane carrying the high-ranking Templars also made a detour from the side, breaking into the core of the battlefield and reaching the best combat area for the high-ranking Templars.
With King Worms and a large number of illusions blocking their vision, as well as Eyeworms and Iron Crows interfering with enemy ship shooting, 30 high-level Templars with only 25% of their energy level teamed up with 10 newly produced Templars to use "Energy Countererosion" to kill the laser cannons on the cruisers.
HIGH-ENERGY WEAPONS LIKE 350MM CALIBER LASER CANNONS. Its energy field is much higher than that of the Orbital Cannon, and if it is hit by the "Energy Erosion" of a high-ranking Templar. The rampage of energy instantly destroys the weapon itself, rapidly eroding in all directions.
Small ships such as destroyers and frigates can survive a little longer as long as their armor bursts and their bellies open under the attacks of the Corruptor and Wyverns. But those cruisers were out of luck, the power of the explosion of the energy core of the laser cannon group was too strong. The blazing flames swept not only the fore and rear decks, but also the surrounding area, causing widespread fires and paralysis of equipment.
Tang Fang was also taken aback by such a change, he originally just wanted the high-level Templar to paralyze the cruiser's weapon system. But I didn't expect it to cause this kind of destruction.
In fact, the "energy eclipse" of the high-level Templar is very different from the "Psionic Storm", although both use ghost energy to attack, however, the latter, as a large-scale AOE damage, is to release the ghostly energy in the high-level Templar's body through guò, triggering an ion storm to kill the target. However, the "energy back-erosion" disturbs the target's own energy field, causing a backlash effect.
Any substance, even a stubborn stone, radiates energy to its surroundings all the time. Of course, because the energy activity of the object is different, the energy field of the object is also very different.
If it is a stone, or a bucket of water, a person, due to the weak energy field, the "energy backlash" of a high-level Templar is not enough to cause a fatal backlash. However, semi-open systems such as orbital cannons, laser cannons, plasma cannons, etc., are naturally unable to resist, not to mention that their own energy fields are very powerful, and once the energy is disturbed, the consequences are unimaginable.
The main guns of the cruisers of the Lancelot Guards are no better than those orbital cannons, and they eat the imperial food seriously, use zero vegetarians, and pull the golden grain. The atmosphere is high-grade, and what about the connotation of luxury? The bankruptcy of the rich man makes people talk about it, and Wu Zetian was kicked off the altar to make people feel happy. The more powerful and energy consumed, the deeper the damage caused by Energy Erosion.
As a result, these cruisers were unlucky, a whole 16 cruisers, huge hulls, heavy armor of more than 1 meter, such behemoths did not live as long as those small ships, and they turned into a sea of fire one after another, like a lighthouse illuminating the seaway under the dark night, exploding all the way and turning into the distance.
The rout of the cruiser group sounded the death knell of the Guards Fleet, and the mainstay cruiser was scrapped so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it exploded into countless fireballs and disappeared into deep space. Coupled with the hideous-looking Corruptors and Wyvern clusters outside the portholes, as well as rows of MT50 Lanzel Mines with their armor blown up, both the captain and the crew have lost the courage to fight.
The ensuing battle scene was like a pantomime, with the night sky bursting with light and fire, and Lancelot's Guards were all wiped out in just over 20 minutes, leaving only the flagship "Silver Wheel" still stubbornly resisting.
Of course, the Tang side also suffered considerable losses in its air force units, with 12 of the hatchers alone losing their combat capability. MOST OF THEM WERE WIPED OUT BY THE 1200MM ORBITAL CANNON OF THE "SILVER WHEEL".
It deserves to be the flagship of Lancelot. The combat effectiveness of the "Silver Wheel" far exceeds that of those cruisers and destroyers, and even the Whale Shark-class battleships are far from being compared to it.
In these more than 20 minutes of close encounters, almost 60% of those lost units were due to it. BIG GUYS LIKE THE CORRUPTOR, KING BUG, EUGLENA, IRON CROW, THE 1200MM TURRET OF THE SILVER WHEEL. THE 650MM PLASMA CANNON IN THE BOW OF THE SHIP, WHICH IS ENOUGH TO INFLICT FATAL DAMAGE ON THEM.
AS FOR SMALL UNITS SUCH AS FLYING DRAGONS AND VIKING FIGHTERS, THE SHIPSTRING'S 160MM LASER CANNON CREW IS NOT VEGETARIAN, AND THE ROTATION SPEED AND RATE OF FIRE, IF IT WEREN'T FOR EMMA'S REACTION SPEED, IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE TANG SIDE, I AM AFRAID THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN STUNNED A LONG TIME AGO.
This is just the attack power, what really shocked Tang Fang was the defensive ability of the "Silver Wheel", and the ring object that expanded from the belly of the ship did not know what it was. The defensive power of the "Aurora" it triggered is simply staggering. MT50 Lanzel Flying Thunder landed on the spindle shield and exploded, only rippling circles of seven-colored waves, and even a big killer like a hunting missile only made the shield color flash.
There are also the parasitic spores of the Corruptor and the semi-sentient bladeworms of the Wyvern. These weapons, which are invincible against the armor of battleships, are also unable to break through the "Aurora". Even if Emma struggled to lose some units and stabbed the attack, it only caused the shield to flicker violently a few times before returning to normal. Of course, there were also high-level Templars on the Tang side.
However, when he saw "Psionic Storm", he only hit the shield with a streamer. It is difficult to pose a threat to the hull inside, and the "energy countererosion" is also a scene of no achievements. He was completely stunned......
Is there any mistake, did Lancelot protect his body? So resistant? Is that the "Silver Wheel"? That TM is the Red Alert Soviet Iron Curtain, no matter how you fight, you can't shed blood......
Where did Lancelot get such a battleship? Flying thunder, parasitic spores and the like have no effect, why is it that even the "Psionic Storm" of the High Templar has no effect, Lancelot has opened a cheat, right...... This Nimakin's thighs are bigger than his own...... When he was in Crotan, Aldrich sacrificed the Skidplatney Helicarrier to the north of the Skidplatney Carrier, which was beaten by pursuers and mechanical sentinels. But right now, the high-level sanctuary has not taken the "Silver Wheel" to cure, what do you say this is called!
IN HIS STUNNED EFFORT, THE 160MM LASER CANNON CREW ON THE PORT SIDE OF THE "SILVER WHEEL" COOPERATED WITH THE MISSILE ARRAY AND EXPLODED TWO VIKING FIGHTERS ONE AFTER ANOTHER. 2 Wyverns.
Unlike Tang Fang's depressed expression, Lancelot was laughing, laughing wildly, just like the villain boss in all TV series, movies, anime, and island films, arrogant and wanton......
Finally, I finally raised my eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief, and after so many moves back and forth with the rebels, every time that hateful guy won, every time it was my own side that suffered, and now I finally got back a game. Or the old saying, who laughs last, who laughs the sweetest, how about black technology? What if the individual soldier is very strong? In front of the "Silver Wheel", every qiē is a floating cloud.
With Ipsilon Technology, you can go sideways? Garcia's rebels have, and I haven't seen them make any earth-shattering waves, Lancelot really wants to connect to Starport again, pointing at Tang Fang's nose and telling him, don't be too self-righteous.
What is the "Star Ring" and what is the "Aurora", except for him and Xiao? Rogge, Yadan? Outside of Ferguson and other people close to him, no one else knew about it. Even when some friends asked, he deduced that it was a gift from the 13th prince, just like the "torch" reactor.
In fact, this is simply a product of Ipsilon's technology, a battleship-level shield generating device, a complete shield generating device, and a priceless treasure that Duke Yadan got back from the Tianchao Star Region through a special channel.
This is not a magnetic field shield, nor is it an "offset shield" of human copycats, but a real Epsilon shield, and it is wishful thinking to break through its absolute defenses. In the history of previous excavations of the Epsilon Ruins, the Epsilon Shield has mostly used fusion/zero-element energy mixtures. At present, although humans cannot miniaturize fusion reaction equipment, it does not mean that ipsilon equipment cannot be used.
The shield generator that Duke Yadan got back was installed by Lancelot on his flagship, and then connected to the "Torch" reactor, which was changed to a zero-element drive throughout the process.
Zero, an expensive source of energy, is a scarce commodity for ordinary people, but for his young duke, it is nothing. After all, there is only one life, and zero elements can be mined, bought and sold.
The energy storage compartment of the "Silver Wheel" had a large amount of zero elements, which was enough to support the operation of the "Aurora" for four or five hours, and four or five hours, enough for him to slaughter Tang Fang and his troops.
How about the living warship, what about the golden armor general, you have a good plan, I am the ladder to heaven!
Lancelot squinted at the big screen bathed in a sea of golden light, Silbero Starport, kid...... Actually forced me to such a point, today, I will make you unable to live, you can't die! (To be continued......)
