Chapter 6: Behemoth (2)
As a technological product, the more high-tech things are, the easier it is to use, and these most advanced fighters under Li Nan actually don't need the existence of a pilot at all.
After all, intelligent AI alone can solve everything, just like now, facing nearly twice the number of enemies as oneself, and these fighters can still shuttle through the sea of insects in style, and even have the spare energy to target the enemy, sometimes the timing of the pilot pressing the weapon's launch button is slow, resulting in the attack failing to hit the enemy. But this happens, and the pilots of those planes are usually fishmen with low intelligence.
But even so, Li Nan still set these rules, intelligent AI is only an auxiliary role, and the one who can really fire weapons is the driver. It's the same whether it's an airplane or a warship. Even if it is a drone terminal, the one who gives the order to attack is still the fighter who has mastered the drone terminal.
After all, after a lot of science fiction and Hollywood blockbuster brainwashing, smart things are the big bosses of the rebels anyway, so Li Nan worked out such a limiting method.
It is precisely because of this that when trading with Fury in the Marvel world, when the so-called trainees returned to S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury was almost angry and vomited blood. All of Nima's operations are completed by intelligent AI, does it cost a million dollars to learn that button to light and press that? Sure enough, I was cheated again.
At this time, Li Nan's fighter unit, with the excellent piloting skills of intelligent AI and the protection of a powerful individual shield, is rapidly harvesting the life of this alien dragon. In this kind of close-range engagement, the intelligent AI can easily lock on to the vital parts of the allosaurus, and while the driver continuously presses the attack button, one beam after another easily pierces the bag of the allosaurus.
In just a few minutes, the corpses of the alien dragons were already covered in the space where the two sides were fighting, but in the face of the same dense barrage of blade insect attacks, most of the fighters were still hit. However, these weak blade insects have not been able to threaten the shield of the fighters at all, so from the beginning of the battle to the present, thousands of fighters have retreated to the rear because they have been hit continuously and the shield consumption is too large, but still not a single fighter has been shot down.
At the same time, the missile that had just been launched from the battleship had already collided with the dense swarm of mosquitoes. The next moment, the shell of the missile was instantly corroded by the venom of the mosquitoes, and then the energy blocks inside exploded, forming huge clusters of light in the dark universe, swallowing those mosquitoes into the clusters of light.
In space, sound cannot be transmitted, so those missiles do not produce a huge explosion sound, and similarly, the shock wave cannot be diffused, but can only cause an impact in a small area.
However, the energy generated when the energy block explodes can spread in the universe without hindrance. Because they are self-exploding creatures, their flesh is very fragile, and if the strength of the flesh is too strong, it will affect the effect of the explosion. At the same time, their physical energy and venom are very unstable, and if they are stable, they will not be able to explode.
Therefore, when the energy generated by the missile explosion is irradiated, the unstable energy of the mosquito body is disturbed, and then they are directly produced to explode. The main target of these missiles is to explode mosquitoes and insects.
Under the calculation of intelligent AI, the light clusters of those missiles have covered all the mosquitoes, and after the light clusters disappeared, not even a trace of wreckage was left in the universe there. And the 100 million mosquitoes have all exploded under the interference of the light cluster.
The remaining Corruptors, however, had already crossed the group of fighters and rushed to the battlecruisers in the rear. Of course, this is also because the group of fighters did not intercept them, after all, the huge number of allosaurs has to consume a lot of time for fighters, and the small beam guns equipped with the same fighters are difficult to damage their heavy biological armor.
And after the calculation of intelligent AI, it is difficult for these 10,000 corruptors to cause damage to the fleet of battlecruisers. After the Corruptor came within range, a large number of turrets were raised from the battlecruisers, which were 130 mm electromagnetic gun emplacements for defensive purposes in battlecruisers, making them very effective against these heavily armored creatures that were slightly larger than the battleplanes.
Each ship has ten electromagnetic gun emplacements, which is exactly the same number as the Corruptor, and after the intelligent AI calculates, each turret is enough to deal with one Corruptor.
When the turret locks onto the approaching Corruptors, their shortcomings are revealed. The Corruptor has too short a range to lock onto, but enemies are far from within their range.
In the next moment, the electromagnetic cannons were fired one after another, and the orange-yellow rays of light quickly shot at the corruptors. In two seconds, the cannons fired bullets into the Corrupted, punching a large hole in their bodies.
However, although the corruptors were severely damaged, they were not able to kill them, after all, the vitality of these heavy armored insects is very tenacious. At the same time, the wounds from the shells began to heal as they flew.
It is precisely because of this confidence in their own vitality that they will keep rushing towards the enemy's fleet, and will soon be able to enter their range, and according to past experience, they can take at least half of the number of battlecruisers with them when they get close. As long as they are within range, the Corruptor has not been afraid of anyone.
However, a second wave of cannonballs has also landed, extinguishing the hopes that the Corruptor will see. The original wounds did not heal completely, and the second shell almost tore their bodies in half.
The advantages of electromagnetic guns are many, and the fast rate of fire is one of their most dazzling points, so the second wave of attacks has just passed, and the third wave of shells has also been fired. Before the Corruptors could react, hit their bodies again.
And then there's the fourth wave, the fifth wave. The 10,000 batteries fired a total of five waves of salvos, and after five waves of shells, the bodies of the 10,000 corrupted people had been torn to pieces.
It took about eight minutes or so, and all ten of Behemoth's first wave of airdrop insects had been eliminated.
But the Behemoths and battlecruisers in the rear were already approaching the fleet, and by the time the planes returned to the fleet, the second wave of airdrop bags had been ejected, and their positions were not far from the fleet, even beyond the wreckage left by the previous dragons.
Similarly, the third wave of airdrop sacs had just ejected from Behemoth's body. Two waves of 30,000 airdrop bags each are now flying towards the fleet.
Especially the second wave of airdrops, which are already on the verge of reaching a dangerous position. The so-called danger location is the range of some ranged Insect units.
The most terrifying thing about the insects is the sea of worm tactics, their cannon fodder troops are coming at you like the waves. And most of these cannon fodder units are melee units, so you just have to set up a battery and keep bombarding them to resist the wave of their charges.
And when you don't kill insects as fast as they can replenish, they will be able to rush in front of you like waves and drown you. It's rough, but it's always been a good tactic.
Just like now, the first wave of insects has just been wiped out, and the second wave has already pounced, and the third wave has begun to charge. If it can't be resisted, these two waves of insect waves can threaten the safety of the fleet.
However, when they had just eliminated the dragons, they had consumed a lot of fighters on these escorts, so they were returning to the vicinity of the fleet to recharge their shields. For the airdrop bag that is already approaching the danger area, it is too late to intercept it at this time.
At this moment, a thick beam of light shot out from the rear, and then quickly overtook the position of the fleet, crashing into the second wave of airdrop sacs in front. At that moment, a large number of airdrop sacs were instantly evaporated by the beam, and then the beam quickly swept across, swallowing all the second wave of airdrop sacs. In the end, even the third wave of airdrop sacs in the rear was swept into the attack range and evaporated together.
That beam is the main gun of Platform 3 of the five orbital defense platforms. Of course, the one just now is the lowest power output, as the beam main gun, it has several gears of output power, which is also to avoid wasting energy. After all, as the main gun, the chance of using it is also large, and what kind of gear is used to deal with what kind of enemy.
And when the main gun beams were seen in the rear, the enemy battlecruisers and Behemoths also stopped approaching. Obviously, the main artillery attack just now was able to threaten them.
As a transport, Behemoth has no attack power at all, so its only way to attack is to catapult troops through airdrop sacs, so there is not much need for them to get too close to local positions. If you get closer, it will be easier for the airdrop bag to enter the danger zone, and Behemoth itself will be threatened by the enemy's main guns.
Behemoth's size needs to be huge, but in the face of the main gun of a battleship of the Star Destroyer class, it can only shoot two shots. Therefore, the main purpose of the main gun firing just now was to make those Behemoths feel threatened, so that they did not dare to get too close. Only by closing the distance can the fleets and warplanes in front of them more easily deal with those airdrop troops.
And the enemy's battlecruisers, they are as frigates of Behemoth, Behemoth has stopped, of course, they do not dare to go forward easily, one thousand against three hundred, they have no chance of winning.
After three waves of airdrop capsules, Behemoth stopped, and did not rush to eject the airdrop sac, after all, it had a large number of alien worm units in its body, but those were basically stored in the form of larvae. After all, compared to other Alien units, those larvae that are only the size of a fist can store more of them. The most powerful thing about alien insects is their numbers.
And the disadvantage of this is that whenever there is a battle, the larvae are mutated into combat-based alien units before they can be ejected, of course, if the distance between the two sides is far enough, then it is okay to directly let the larvae enter the airdrop bag for transformation.
And from the fact that they were able to eject three waves of airdrop sacs in such a short period of time just now, then the airdrop sacs that had just ejected should still be insect eggs. However, when they get closer, they should all be almost completely mutated.
And now that this one has stopped catapulting the sac, it is supposed to be hatching more Worm units in its body. The frequency of Behemoth's airdrop capsule is very high, and in a reckless state, it can even eject the airdrop capsule at a frequency of 5 times per minute.
Of course, if you do this, Behemoth's body will be very taxing, and you may have to undergo a major overhaul afterwards. But if it sprays at this rate, the enemy is basically finished.
And this time, the Behemoths were clearly planning to do the same, they were in the making, and the larvae stored in their bodies were rapidly hatching into alien units.
Once they have finished preparing and hatched enough insects, the enemy will face a sea of insects with no end in sight. Five waves of airdrops per minute, each wave has to face tens of millions of high-level alien insects or hundreds of millions of low-level alien insects. It is estimated that it will only take a few minutes, and the airdrop bag will almost be able to overwhelm this fleet of 1,000 battlecruisers.
"Fighter troops, release the drone swarm." At this time, Dingyuan gave the order again. Then those fighters who received the order opened the gangway below one after another, and then one by one, the drones that had been tested by Li Nan before were flying out of the gangway quickly.
After Li Nan tested the drones, the drones were upgraded several times before the current final versions appeared. In the face of the sea of worm tactics, the best strategy is, of course, to use the same tactics against them.
UAV sea tactics, in fact, both are just the same thing. Unlike the previous Marine versions, these Fighter versions now have a much larger storage of Autobots.
1,500 autonomous robots, Li Nan took a cursory look at the number of drones released from those planes, and the total number of autonomous robots released by 300,000 fighters was 450 million.
The dense swarm of drones is at this time in the fleet, and the insects have formed a difficult line of defense to cross.
And this is just a swarm of autonomous robots released by the aircraft group, Li Nan knows that the same drone terminal is also installed in the battlecruiser, that is to say, these battlecruisers can also release such a drone swarm.
Obviously, Dingyuan did not intend to play all the cards in his hand in one go.
