Chapter 442: The Giant Ship Assembles
"At the cost of our fleet being intercepted by the other side at the stargate? No, it is absolutely impossible. The Chief of Staff suggested that Sarah shook her head repeatedly.
"Think about the consequences of our half of the fleet standing in front of the Star Gate and being defeated by the other side, that would obviously be worse! Your Excellency, when there are seven standards left before the appointed time, the Vulcans can defeat us and then seal the Stargate, and in that case...... "You will not be able to escape the blame in any way, Fazani added to his words in his heart.
"You think we're not going to last long? Or even in this traditional formation that focuses on defense? Sarah thought for a moment and nodded suddenly, Fazzani's words undoubtedly convinced her in the end.
Even the battle formation that Kezmian's inaccessible fleet can play, but she uses it as a support? Fazani shook his head silently in his heart.
He knew exactly what Sarah meant, this barrel formation was indeed an excellent defense system that had been proven, and the outer circle used the outer ring to move constantly to form dense firepower, and ensure that the shields of small ships would not be suppressed by the opponent, so that they could be eliminated one by one.
He even suffered for it, and in the humiliation of Zoroaster, which he will never forget, Fakhl called the Guardian of the Republic used this formation to defuse his attack.
However, at that time, as a reserve force, most of the kinetic energy cannons installed on the combat ships of the special brigade were based on various penetrating shells, and because of the problem of large calibers, it was inevitable that the loading was too slow, so that it could not achieve continuous firepower output in terms of artillery efficiency. As a result, the targets of the gun's strike will quickly hide behind other ships through formation, and then the depleted shield peaks can be repaired with slow but continuous charging.
Today's Vulken fleet is different, their weapons are all using beam attacks, the accuracy and frequency of attacks are obviously not the same as kinetic artillery, under the blow of the Vulken fleet, which is significantly higher in the number of ships, if you just rely on the defensive battle formation to expect a good result, it will be a fool's dream.
"It won't last long." Thinking of this, Fazzani gave his judgment categorically.
"Then it's up to the chief of staff." Sarah nodded and bowed to Nicole beside her. Shaw commanded. "Notice, the formation restrictions will be lifted, and the entire fleet will correct the course according to the coordinates of the second predetermined quadrant. Tell them that the Transition Engine must always be warmed up. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency." Xiao replied loudly, and his hands began to operate with the command.
……
Sailing in a vacuum, because there is no gravity, the concept of up and down depends entirely on the direction in which the person stands in the ship. Nowadays, the technology of artificial gravity field has become more and more mature, and the artificial gravitational force formed by the vibration of particles does not generate centrifugal force, because of its relatively huge energy consumption, so it is not very suitable for large artificial objects such as the Chimoriza Space Naval Port. However, it is undoubtedly necessary and indispensable for all kinds of manned ships shuttling through the vast universe.
Fazani stood close to the porthole, the Khubbenhammouf stargate in the field of vision at his feet, like a giant eye with spiral pupils, and the outer edge of the stargate was spewing out lightning storms of several lightseconds long like a spirit spitting out letters from the surrounding star fields.
The Tenth Fleet was guarding its formation at this moment, and it was lined up early, and everyone was staring at the direction of the stargate in the distance, and there was silence in the fleet's communication path.
But the calm before the storm was finally broken soon after, and the fleet passage was suddenly bustling, and all kinds of early warning communications were coming from the command ship, which indicated that everyone was aware of the dense Vulken ships in front of the stargate like clouds and rain.
They formed entities in an instant in a phantom, row after row, column after column, forming a terrifying, intense, dense and dense cloud of hulls. Their formation was strange, and the arrangement was so close that the ships after the space was folded seemed to set off a violent wind in a vacuum, but in the next moment, the clouds and fog dispersed, becoming an inconspicuous drop of water in the dense ship rain.
"The other side is out of a state of transition."
"The enemy fleet has arrived at Stargate."
"The goal has reached the stargate."
"It's a lot and it's more than expected."
"Yah
The noise and noise in the fleet's pathways could not help but make Fazzani frown.
I really should ask the 'famous teachers' who write their pride on their heads, how the hell do they give these damn guys a communication control lesson? He cursed in his heart.
In the peaceful years when there was no war for many years, most of the ship commanders were negligent in actual combat, and their thoughts before the war were one thing, but when it was really time to move the real chapter, they immediately panicked when they saw that the other side was powerful. Judging from this point alone, this depicted by Fan Zeyang, chief of staff of the Fifth Fleet, as 'the weakest combat force of the Tenth Fleet and trembling', is really a prophecy.
But the fear in their hearts is not unreasonable, if they really want to launch a frontal strangulation with the strength of half a fleet and the fleet of Vulkens who have poured out of the nest, in such a state, I am afraid that even a standard hour may not be able to support it at that time.
Fazzani silently made an assessment of the fleet he was in now, and he stared at the tight formation of the opposing fleet outside the porthole, and his face gradually became more and more ugly. And at the moment, Commander Sarah. Armstrong had given instructions to the ships in the fleet pathway.
"Tenth Fleet, keep the distance between the ships, each ship adjusts its attack vision, and prepares to meet the enemy!" As soon as she finished speaking, the battleship Avabrennan under her began to adjust its posture and respond to the strong enemy with a side fire fan, while all the ships of the Tenth Fleet were doing the same thing in a neat manner with the flagship.
"All personnel have entered combat readiness." Shaw watched the tactical desk report to Sarah, but the Commander's Lady frowned like Fazzani at this time.
"Why didn't they react?" She asked Shaw a little strangely, but then shook her head and looked at Fazzani, who was still standing at the porthole with her back on her back.
"Do you have to keep your eyes on the battlefield when you fight? Mr. Chief of Staff? Sarah asked.
"Oh, sorry, but I don't have such weird habits." Fazzani turned and walked to the tactical table, Xiao glanced at him, and pulled the hologram of the battlefield situation analysis in front of Fazzani.
"What do you think the other person is doing?" Sarah pointed to the screen and asked Fazani that the formation of the Walken fleet had not changed at this time, and the direction of the Kuibenhammouf Stargate was still pointed by the bow of the thousands of ships.
"Are they going to cross the Star Gate to engage our main force?" Sarah was skeptical.
