Chapter 92: The Eve of Dawn II
This is the scene of a war taking place in the original galaxy, a vast cosmic battlefield separated by an invisible line on both sides.
On the left side of the battlefield is the Mona First Fleet, which occupies half of the Milky Way, with a total number of 72,000 warships of all types! The main force is 970 27-kilometer-long battleships and 8,600 9.7-kilometer-long cruisers, and the USS Dawn Deep Space Fleet is located on the right side of the battlefield, with 150 12-kilometer-long "Chaoyang-class" battleships and 3,300 3.2-kilometer-long "Xiaoyue-class" cruisers.
Because the Dawn side is an interdimensional expedition, and the economy of the entire galaxy is recovering, there are far fewer small warships and auxiliary ships than the other side, only about 10,000, and most of them are the remaining warships of various races left over from the last war, and the total number of warships can reach 14,000. The number of ships on both sides is about 5:1, and the number of capital ships is about 5:2.
However, on the side of the Dawn, there are also special warships such as the Dawn Fortress, the New Elona, and the Matrix, which are not weaker than the other side in terms of strength!
Once, the Dawn had laughed at the sheer size of the Monadian battleship - in the face of such a huge battleship, even if they cram all the functions they can think of into a battleship, it seems that it will not be able to fill a battleship ten kilometers long! After all, it was a battleship, not a migrant ship like the Dawn - how big was a battleship of ten kilometers? When she landed on Earth, it was equivalent to the volume of 3,000 of the world's largest aircraft carriers, the USS Reagan, neatly stacked together!
…… Later, the members of the Dawn finally refused to admit it. Or are you too lonely and unheard......
When Dawn's technology successfully built the "Dyson sphere system" and was promoted to the energy level of the stellar level, it became clear that the so-called "energy crystallization" was not the end of the energy revolution. And it's just the beginning.
With the sudden increase in energy levels, all modern means of producing and consuming energy will be abolished, and all will have to be overturned and restarted! At this time, the scientists led by Mu Xing were embarrassed to find that if the battleship designed based on the new energy level wanted to achieve the golden balance, the size should be so big!
Because the new energy level requires a larger reactor, a larger engine. More demanding barrel and ignition systems, more difficult to control Mass Effect Cores, and so on...... Everything looked like a nightmare, luckily. Mu Xing and the others finally achieved a perfect battleship design based on the new energy level, even better than the Mona! It seems that after the Mona people broke through the stellar level and so on, technology turned to the direction of application, and stagnate in innovation. This gave the Dawn a chance to catch up......
on the battlefield. The Mona warships seem to be generally several times the size of the Dawn Regiment's battleships! Especially in the cruiser class, the 3.2-kilometer size next to the 9.7-kilometer Mona battleship is like a scaled down cheap model. And the reality is that the cruiser is the proudest and most cutting-edge battleship of the Dawn Regiment! The combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the Mona cruisers of the same class (referring to the division of ships rather than size).
Because with the increase in the size of warships, how to overcome the reduction in efficiency caused by the skyrocketing mass and volume of warships has become the biggest problem. In the design process of each warship, it has to try to restrain the size of the out-of-control warship, and then find the best balance between quality and efficiency. Call it the golden balance. And because the Dawn Regiment has the black technology - Element Zero, it can control everything if it can control the quality at this energy level. Therefore, this balance point of the Dawn Regiment is far higher than that of the Mona!
This became a key factor in determining the trend of the first half of this battle......
*****
"Fire!" "Fire!" …… Zhao Min and Yakumo Zi, who were sitting in the sofa circle, seemed to hear their own orders.
The Deep Space Fleet unexpectedly launched the first super salvo from an astronomical unit (150 million kilometers) away! Each battleship threw out ten tons of liquid metal projectiles at this moment, until the barrel of the secondary main gun overheated! The 35,000-ton red-white metal projectile took 22 minutes to cross the long distance between the two fleets, overwhelming the Mona First Fleet like a swarm!
The Mona's all-round shield was vulnerable to the never-before-seen Super Mass Effect cannon, and the projectiles were in the vast fleet array, quickly wading through the tunnel of blood and fire! That seemingly impregnable wall of steel was poked out of countless holes with the first blow!
This was the first gift that Zhao Min and Yakumo Zi brought to the Mona people - range.
In the Dawn Regiment's several tentative attacks on the Mona, even if the battleship was destroyed and the operation failed, the secret of the battleship's ultra-long range was never exposed!
Based on energy efficiency considerations, the Mona people have long given up live-fire weapons, and the mainstream of battleships is all various beam-type main guns. Their main guns are still more powerful than the Dawn Regiment, but they only have a range of 10,000,000 kilometers...... Beyond this distance, the power of both beam and live-ammunition guns decays extremely quickly, not enough to cause damage to the opponent's battleship. As a result, the main areas of engagement in the Milky Way often unfold at a distance of 10 million kilometers.
The problem now is precisely that the Mass Effect Cannon breaks through this limitation!
In other words, the effective range of the Dawn Regiment battleship is fifteen times that of the Mona! It's as if a pistol is firing at a sniper rifle, and that's where the Mass Effect Cannon really scares. Although the flight time on the way is a bit long, this time is definitely not enough time for the Grand Fleet to withdraw from the battlefield! Combined with the overall big data analysis of the host, the ultra-long-range salvo can still be exchanged for excellent results.
Under the command of Zhao Min, the Deep Space Fleet adjusted to a drum formation, and began to retreat in a salvo layer by layer, and the flames continued to explode in the fleet of the Mona! Pieces of flesh and blood were torn apart, and the Mongol rangers' flesh-cutting tactics thousands of years ago reappeared!
The trend of the battle situation did not meet expectations, and the Mona people immediately took out the hidden killer feature - the short-range jump of the hologram battleship!
A large number of battleships suddenly disappeared from the battle line, and immediately appeared in the array of the Dawn Regiment! Mix up the warships of both sides. At this time, the Mona ships were in no hurry to stop the salvo of the Dawn Regiment - since both sides had sent millions of men to the front, they were ready for heavy losses! Compared to large-scale sacrifices, defeat in the decisive battle is the most unacceptable! Therefore, the fleet of the Monas, who jumped into the array of the Dawn Regiment, did not rush to attack, but focused on how to disrupt the rhythm of the Dawn Regiment.
At this time, Zhao Min and Yakumo Zi rummaged through their pockets again and took out the second gift for Mona - the internal power engine, and the cemented carbide!
The internal power engine with Mass Effect at its core allows huge warships to perform incredible actions. For example, "emergency change of direction within 15 meters" is an almost impossible action to complete under the inertia of the battleship's hundreds of millions of tons of steel! Then there is the shell of the Mega+1 class battleship, especially the Dawson ramming angle at the top of the "Dawn Moon class", which is plated with Giga-class materials and sharpens iron like mud!
And the Mona warship, the Dawn Regiment has already captured - in order to achieve holographic image transmission, the Mona warship must use a special alloy - after the Dawn has repeatedly identified, the upper limit of that composite material is definitely not more than the Mega class! The overall performance of the hulls of the two warships differed by an order of magnitude, and one of them was as agile as a monkey......
In a matter of moments, the Mona battleship that had jumped into the Dawn Regiment's battleship group was cleared! Not a single shot was fired, and all of them were destroyed!
At this point, the Dawn Regiment reached its most glorious culmination in this decisive battle - at that moment, it seemed that everyone in the fleet heard the trumpet of victory and was being blown by the goddess......
But none of the dozen or so people sitting in the sofa circle watching this scene showed a happy smile, because the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse in the next moment.
*****
Radiance, see also the light transmitted by holograms.
The black and white pen simply draws a wall in the universe, like a child scribbling on a notebook. But even this wall in the middle of the battlefield completely blocked the steel storm that erupted from the Dawn Regiment!
No matter how the main guns at all levels erupted, they could not penetrate the wall as thick as a piece of paper, even transparent.
Then the pen drew another hand and a planet, and the thin hand held the ball in his hand, and threw a rocky planet at the Deep Space Fleet!
