Chapter 386: Hidden Path

"Look, these are the main routes of the Unicorn galaxy at the moment, and if you want to enter the galaxy, you must pass through one of the routes." Liu Yi pointed to the image in the holographic projection and said, "As long as these routes are blocked, no matter how many fleets there are, it is useless. ”

Everyone at the meeting pricked up their ears to see what Liu Yi had to say.

Early in the morning, Liu Yi convened a meeting of the members of the strategy group, which confused many people, and some people even woke up before they fully woke up.

"The defense system of the imperial capital is very complex, and there are many kinds of defensive weapons, which will be used according to different situations. Some of them were still developed by me back then, so it was impossible to break through, and the rebels suffered a big loss in this area, so that they failed to capture the imperial capital in the end. Liu Yi continued.

"My lord, do you mean that it is impossible for the fleet to enter the galaxy?" Che Kuang asked in surprise.

"Of course it's not okay to break through, even if you really break through, I'm afraid there won't be much left in the fleet, so what kind of battle is there to fight?" Liu Yi said.

"But with such a tight defense, how can we avoid these weapons?" Che Kuang asked curiously.

Liu Yi said: "In fact, this is the problem in front of us at present, how can we avoid these defensive weapons? ”

Everyone looked at each other, no one had an answer, in fact everyone was thinking these days, but no matter how you thought about it, there was no answer, unless the current technology can advance by leaps and bounds, otherwise this is an unsolvable problem.

Liu Yi saw that no one could answer this question, so he continued: "Actually, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and the answer is impossible, unless it is a hard break, it is impossible for the fleet to break through so many defensive weapons unscathed. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked deflated, Liu Yi said for a long time, it turned out that there was no way, and boiling water early in the morning was purely a waste of time.

"But ......" Liu Yi suddenly changed his words and said, "If the fleet can't get in, can't it be entered by other means?" ”

"Other methods......" Everyone looked at each other, and they all looked at each other with the same puzzle on their faces.

"I see what you mean." Feng Kailong said thoughtfully: "Large fleets can't pass, but small ships can. The focus of the Imperial Capital's defense system is on these routes that can be used by large fleets, in fact, there are not many defensive weapons elsewhere, and small ships can completely pass through. ”

"That's right, that's it!" Liu Yi said: "Small ships can pass through these places, but it is difficult for large fleets to pass, so we can let small ships sneak in from weak defenses." ”

He Yan couldn't help but ask, "But even if the small ships can pass safely, it doesn't mean anything to capture the imperial capital." You can't rely on small ships to fight the opposing fleet, right? ”

Liu Yi nodded and said: "That's right, small ships really don't have the ability to fight the fleet, but they can destroy those defensive weapons, as long as these weapons are destroyed, won't the fleet be able to pass?" ”

"That's right!"

"I see, that's a good idea!"

Many people praised one after another, and Liu Yi's words seemed to be enlightened, and the misunderstandings in everyone's thinking were pointed out at once.

However, Feng Kailong said: "It is true in theory, but in practice it is very difficult to do, or there is almost no possibility of success." ”

Everyone focused their attention on Feng Kailong, and someone asked, "When the commander-in-chief said this, could it be that he found some key problems?" ”

Feng Kailong replied: "Actually, the problem is very simple, even if a small ship enters the galaxy from other places, it will definitely not be able to destroy so many defensive weapons. ”

"Why is that?"

"First of all, small ships have limited attack power, and some of the defenses themselves are capable of counterattacking, and it is difficult for small ships to destroy these facilities. Secondly, the number of these weapons and facilities is huge, just rely on a few small ships, and if you want to destroy so many of them, I am afraid that before the task is completed, it will already be known to the other party......" Feng Kailong analyzed one by one.

Everyone nodded again and again when they heard this, and they couldn't help but admire Feng Kailong in their hearts.

Finally, Feng Kailong concluded: "All in all, the use of small ships to destroy these defenses is only theoretically possible, and it is practically impossible. I think the people who designed the defense system in the first place should have anticipated these problems a long time ago. ”

"Reasonable, reasonable, that's true......"

"He is worthy of being the commander-in-chief, and his foresight impresses us!"

Liu Yi had been listening patiently, always with a smile on his face, although Feng Kailong pointed out the problems in his train of thought one by one, Liu Yi did not look unhappy at all.

After Feng Kailong finished speaking, Liu Yi continued: "The commander-in-chief is right, it is true, but this is still only theoretical, in fact, I have already discovered the loopholes in the defense system. ”

Feng Kailong didn't expect Liu Yi to say this, and his face couldn't help but show a look of surprise and curiosity, and the others also looked at Liu Yi with curiosity.

I saw Liu Yi call up the defense distribution map, pointed to the image and said: "Everyone, please see, according to the situation of different routes, the defense layout on each route is different, some routes use a large number of 'mines' and 'barricades', and some are guarded by super weapons Houyi artillery, the purpose is to prevent large fleets from passing.

For those routes with a large number of 'mines' and 'barricades', it is true that due to the large number of defensive weapons, even if a small ship can pass through, it is impossible to know all the weapons one by one. However, if it is a route guarded by Houyi artillery, there are many fewer targets that need to be clear, as long as a few launch bases and mirror reflectors are controlled, there is actually not much danger on the route. ”

"I want to point out that these launch bases and mirror reflectors are guarded by the military, and it may be difficult to take them down with just a few small ships." Feng Kailong reminded.

"It's really hard to rely on a small ship, but what if it's a mech?" Liu Yi said as he glanced at everyone with his eyes.

"With mechs? It can't be! Someone exclaimed: "At such a long distance, the mecha can't fly over at all, and even if it can fly over, it's too long, so it can't be done at all." ”

"That's right, it's impossible for a mecha to perform such a long-distance battle!"

"Absolutely impossible! I'm willing to bet on a whole year's salary! ”

Almost everyone objected, and even Shangguan Qi, the top mecha master, frowned and looked sad.

The power performance of the mecha determines that it can only fight in a small area, and cannot fly for a long time and long distances like a warship, and it is completely incomparable in speed.

Large warships can complete the voyage in only a few days, and the mecha may not be able to fly for a month, and the engine of the mecha cannot support such a long high-speed flight.

Liu Yi said with a smile: "Everyone is right, it is true that the mecha cannot carry out this kind of long-distance attack combat, but I have thought about whether it is possible to design a device or a tool that can allow the mecha to be mounted on it, and then use this device to fly instead of the mecha and send the mecha to the designated place." ”

After speaking, Liu Yi turned his head to look at Tang Jie, his eyes full of expectation.

Tang Jie's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen something incredible, and after a while, he slowly said, "Your idea...... It's bold indeed...... I can't answer it now, so let me think about it, okay? ”

Liu Yi nodded and said, "Of course, this matter can only be entrusted to you, if you also say no, then I can only give up this plan." ”

Everyone began to discuss whether the idea proposed by Liu Yi could be realized, after all, no one had ever tried to use a mecha for a long-distance attack before.

Feng Kailong put forward an idea, "My lord, this idea is indeed very special, there is a kind of assault ship in the fleet, the role is to carry mecha and carry out rapid propulsion, but it can only be used for a short distance, such a long-distance flight, I am afraid it can't be done." ”

"Assault ship?" Tang Jie listened to Feng Kailong's words and began to think seriously.

"Maybe the assault ship can be modified so that it can fly long distances, so that the problem is solved." Someone suggested.

"How can it be as simple as you say, the engine of the assault ship and the engine of the battleship are not the same level at all, to make the assault ship carry out such a long-distance high-speed flight, it is necessary to install the engine of a large ship on the assault ship, and finally the volume of the assault ship will become the same as that of a large and medium-sized ship."

"It's not enough for the engine, it's also for the reactor. The reactor of a large ship is not a mecha, and the assault ship does not even have a reactor, so it is a reserve energy source for direct use. ”

Everyone discussed for a long time, and they all thought that it was not easy to solve such a problem, even if Tang Jie had extraordinary attainments in the design of mecha and warships, but he might not be able to solve this unbelievable problem.

Tang Jie didn't immediately reject Liu Yi's idea, and after pondering for a while, he said: "There are indeed many difficult problems to overcome in technology, because such a design is too unconventional, and no one will build such a flying vehicle, which must be powerful, small in size, and able to carry mechas, which is really unreasonable." ”

Liu Yi came to Tang Jie and said very sincerely: "Try as much as you can, I believe you can do it, haven't you solved so many problems in the past one by one?" ”

"Let me think about it, this kind of design is too challenging to the previous design ideas, and I can't say whether it can be done or not." Tang Jie also said frankly.

"Okay, I'll give you plenty of time and support, as long as you try your best." Liu Yi said seriously and gently.
