Chapter 176: The First Emperor's swan song

Although the "First Emperor" fleet did not have as many space fighters as the opponent, it also had 80,000 planes, so Li Chunfeng directly dispatched 50,000 planes to meet the enemy.

For the space fighter of the god eye, Li Chunfeng knows that the range of its laser cannon is only 3 million kilometers, which is closer than the "Hurricane 2", although the maximum speed and acceleration are good, but his "Hurricane 2" can still rely on airborne weapons to win.

When the fighters of the two sides were flying in both directions, the "First Emperor" fleet was already approaching, and Yin Luo's 4th squadron was also coming in the opposite direction.

The two sides quickly approached, and when the distance was 25 million kilometers, the 12 electromagnetic main guns on the three battleships "Shihuang", "Hanwu" and "Guangwu" let out an angry roar.

Almost not long after the 36 high-explosive alloy shells flew out, the main guns of the three battleships roared again, and this high rate of fire was based on a rotating orbit.

The shells of each main gun are lined up to enter the acceleration track, and after the precise calculation of the brain, they maintain a certain distance from the front and back, and fly out of the muzzle one after another.

This will form a relatively dense artillery fire for a certain period of time, and if the opponent's battleship is hit, even if there is an electromagnetic shield, it will first destroy the shield under continuous intensive blows, and then tear the battleship's armor until it bursts the battleship.

"Such a long range? Like the magnetic energy main gun of the Empire's 'Tianmu-class' battleship, the electromagnetic main gun reaches this range, which is obviously very strong. ”

Yin Luo learned through the detector that the other party had fired, and he was a little surprised.

"The whole fleet immediately implements the 'Phantom' maneuver!"

Fortunately, he had already adjusted the formation of the fleet before, so that he could directly implement the unique "phantom" maneuver of the Divine Eye Empire's fleet.

This is a tactical maneuver that makes full use of the acceleration characteristics of the Imperial Triangle battleship and is summed up in actual combat, and is extremely effective in avoiding enemy artillery attacks.

In that year, the commander of the Imperial 1st Fleet, Heying, performed it for the first time in actual combat and achieved a great victory, so it was officially named by the military.

Since then, it has become the most classic tactical move of the Imperial fleet, and it is also the most proficient basic tactical move of each fleet of the Empire.

However, a few minutes later, 4 medium battleships and 20 small battleships were hit by artillery fire, and the small battleships were unable to withstand the impact of the battleship's high-explosive alloy shells under the first round of artillery fire, and most of them were blown to pieces.

The medium-sized battleship only managed to withstand one round before the second round broke its shield, and then its armor was blown open and it was heavily damaged.

Before he could do anything about it, he was hit again by a third round of shells, which exploded into cosmic dust in an instant.

Such a precise and intensive blow was inflicted by only three battleships, which made Yin Luo very surprised, especially since the "Phantom" maneuver failed to effectively evade enemy fire for the first time.

It shows that the observation and sighting equipment of the enemy ship is extremely sensitive, and the operation of the main gun is extremely intelligent, and the ballistic calculation is very subtle, which means that advanced artificial intelligence must be used.

"Dare to use advanced artificial intelligence on such a large scale, this earth civilization is really ignorant and fearless. No, this matter has to be reported to the Empire, if the civilization here is controlled by artificial intelligence, it will be a disaster for the Empire! ”

Yin Luo immediately used his divine eyes to inform the communications officer of his thoughts, and he immediately sent the quantum communication message back to the Imperial headquarters.

Subsequently, Yin Luo ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed, and it must enter the range of his own fleet as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to be beaten and unable to do it.

Although the magnetic energy cannon on his flagship can hit so far, it consumes too much energy, and now it still needs to sail and maneuver for a long time, so it's better to save it.

At this time, Li Chunfeng suddenly received the fourth notice, and after learning the telegram sent back to the Shenmu Empire by Yin Luo, he was a little surprised, how could the Shenmu Empire, like the Xiantang civilization, regard artificial intelligence above the advanced level as a flood beast?

Could it be that the Divine Eye Empire has also suffered from the artificial intelligence mutiny in the history of the Xiantang civilization? In this way, artificial intelligence is really a double-edged sword, and if you are not careful, you will be hurt by it.

Fortunately, he not only controls the core code of artificial intelligence, but also has consciousness as the core of his intelligence, and he can destroy artificial intelligence at every turn.

Therefore, artificial intelligence will be the best assistant for itself.

It's just that he can't block and interfere with quantum communication at present, and he can only watch the other party transmit some of his information back to the headquarters of the Divine Eye Empire.

Seeing that in the picture, the 4th Squadron gritted its teeth and rushed up at the highest speed, Li Chunfeng immediately understood that they wanted to close the distance, and of course he would not do what they wanted.

At the moment, he commanded three battleships and led the fleet to go around in circles with the 4th Fleet, so that the distance between the two warships was always outside the 18 million km range of the medium-sized warships of the Shenmu Empire.

In the process, the "First Emperor", "Hanwu", and "Guangwu" formed a triangle and constantly shelled the 4th Fleet, causing continuous losses to the warships of the Shenmu Empire.

As the losses of the 4th Squadron expanded to a total of 60 ships, Yin Luo knew that he had failed today, and if he continued to attack like this, he would inevitably be dragged down.

Yin Luo looked at the star map and quickly thought about what to do.

At this time, the space fighters of the two sides met, and 5 million kilometers away, the four particle cannons of "Hurricane 2" fired a shocking blow.

A particle cannon attack at such a distance takes 17 seconds to hit the target.

With the maneuverability of the Divine Eye Empire's triangular fighters, there was plenty of time to complete the evasion action, but because the previous 200,000 space fighters' triangular assault formation was too dense, resulting in insufficient space for evasion actions.

Therefore, this sudden wave of particle cannon attacks destroyed 50,000 delta fighters in an instant.

This result made Yin Luo look at it in his eyes and be shocked in his heart, and he immediately made up his mind.

"Order, the space fighter waits for the opportunity to return to the carrier, and at the same time, the fleet moves in the tangential direction and disengages from contact with the Earth Civilization Fleet!"

"The quantum space mine is ready to be dropped to intercept the pursuit!"

The remaining 15 space fighters of the Divine Eye Empire fired several waves of laser cannons in succession, regardless of the range, and one after another the lasers bloomed brilliantly in space, forming a network of light, preventing the pursuit of the "Tempest 2" flying saucer from approaching, and then formed an inverted triangle formation and returned to the direction of the fleet.

There are enough space fighters on the inverted triangle side of this formation, and its laser cannons can effectively block the pursuing enemy space fighters.

Such an orderly advance and retreat is indeed better than the space fighters of the previous Xiantang civilization.

Li Chunfeng saw that the 4th Squadron was retreating, and immediately ordered the three battleships "Shihuang", "Hanwu", and "Guangwu" to catch up.

30 destroyers formed a protective formation and followed closely.

At this time, Li Chunfeng's fleet was also in a large triangle formation, with the "First Emperor" as the top corner of the triangle, and the "Hanwu" and "Guangwu" as the two corners on the bottom edge, and 30 destroyers embedded in it in an inverted triangle formation to escort.

It's just that the "First Emperor" is at the forefront.

Seeing that the fleet of the Divine Eye Empire was trying to escape, the three battleships not only continued to fire electromagnetic main guns, but also one of their ice ray cannons was already ready to fire.

Aiming at the three medium warships of the 4th Squadron, they opened fire.

In the dark void, three white lines shot out like lightning, streaked through the endless void, and landed on the three medium-sized warships of the 4th Fleet.

In an instant, the shields of the three medium-sized battleships disintegrated, followed by the battleships also disintegrated and disappeared without a trace.

This power shocked Yin Luo again, at this time he was deeply shocked by the technology of the earth civilization, in this short one day, he has been attacked by several different technological weapons of the other party.

Even the same technology as the Empire is superior to the Empire in range.

What kind of civilization is this, with such technology, still in a corner, and now the Ninth Fleet is pursuing the Xiantang civilization without inadvertently breaking in, and it will not bring the disaster back to the empire, right?

Thinking so, Yin Luo once again asked the communications officer to explain to the Imperial Headquarters, warning the Empire to make full preparations in advance.

Subsequently, the fleet was once again ordered to increase the speed to the maximum, and one of the killer features of the Ninth Fleet was unleashed - quantum space mines.

These swarthy spheres were projected 3 million kilometers behind the fleet, gradually forming a small area.

Li Chunfeng saw these little things from the probe, and he didn't care about it, it should be similar to his own space machine mine.

It's just that the airspace occupied by these things is too small, right?

Thinking so, he immediately ordered the "First Emperor" to change the pursuit route as soon as possible, intending to bypass the edge of this minefield.

Because the maximum speed of the Divine Eye Empire's battleships was 1,600 km/s, which was a little faster than Li Chunfeng's Emperor-class battleships, the distance of about 25 million kilometers between the two sides was further widened.

When the "First Emperor" passed near this minefield, it was already four hours later, and at this time, the 4th Squadron of the Shenmu Empire was already more than 26.4 million kilometers away.

Sensing the approach of the battleship "The First Emperor", all those swarthy little things exploded.

Then, it's as if nothing happened.

When Li Chunfeng was secretly strange, he saw that the void seemed to be flooded with layers of ripples, which was not the kind of spatial ripples produced during the spatial transition.

As if this vacuum had been shaken by some kind of resonance, the ripples of this shock gradually expanded to the position of the battleship "The First Emperor", and then Li Chunfeng saw a picture that shocked him.

The battleship "The First Emperor" seemed to suddenly turn into particles and dissipated in an instant!

Such a behemoth with a diameter of 3,000 meters and a height of 1,200 meters turned into particles in an instant.

Why do you know that it turns into particles?

Because on the battleship "The First Emperor", in order to facilitate control, Li Chunfeng left a wisp of thought, and this wisp of thought instantly felt the sudden appearance of those particles, which is why Li Chunfeng understood what was happening.

What a great power this is!

Those inconspicuous little space mines are capable of causing such destruction, directly destroying objects into elementary particles.

Could it be that the Divine Eye Empire has mastered the material disintegration ray weapon of a fourth-level civilization?

No, if it is a matter disintegration ray weapon, it means mastering negative matter, that is, antimatter, which is by no means something that can be understood by a third-level civilization.

If the Divine Eye Empire has mastered it, it will be a fourth-level civilization, and the Xiantang Civilization has long been easily pacified, why should the two sides spend so long, and in the end, the Divine Eye Empire still used intrigue and trickery to achieve victory.

Could it be that the Divine Eye Empire, like itself and the Xiantang civilization, has obtained the creation of some kind of advanced civilization?

Then this Mingfang Star Field is also too good, there are so many creations of advanced civilizations appearing, is there a treasure trove of creations of advanced civilizations there?

For a while, Li Chunfeng was not sure, but he immediately ordered the fleet to retreat.

Fortunately, the warships kept a large distance from each other just in case, otherwise I was afraid that I would have to lose a few more warships.

That strange ripple of space had completely calmed down at this time, and the range of its propagation just now was only 500,000 kilometers.

If you had been cautious just now and bypassed from a farther place, then the "First Emperor" would not have been lost.

Looking at the 4th Squadron in the distance, Li Chunfeng had some understanding of the cunning of the gods.
