Qiu Yan looked at the approaching enemy fleet on the star map and began to give combat orders.
"Release the space torpedo."
Space torpedoes, disguised as meteorites, were scattered.
"Take off the 'eight-edged' unmanned cluster."
The deck of the flight garage spread, and one after another 'Eight Blades' were catapulted into space, waiting around the fleet.
"Calculate the trajectory of the enemy fleet, and the main guns are ready to be charged."
The Waste-class spacecraft in the fleet began to adjust the position of the bow gun muzzle, ready to fire at the first opportunity.
Closer, closer, closer.
Suddenly, a shrill siren sounded, "Warning! Warn! High energy response found ahead! β
"All ships are maneuvering!" Under Qiu Yan's order, the ship kept the bow pointing still, and with the help of the attitude adjustment vent, the entire fleet made a horizontal swing to the left.
During the fleet maneuver, the bow main gun has been locked onto the target under the micro-manipulation of the intelligent brain.
A wave of tentative long-range raids did nothing, and the Khattara fleet gave up its futile temptations and hastened to meet them.
A large number of shuttle-type aircraft flew out of the Khattala fleet, briefly circled and assembled, and then bypassed the frontal battlefield and attacked the First Fleet.
Qiu Yan immediately responded, and the 'Eight Blades' unmanned cluster greeted him from the side, and more than 20 'Eight Blades' in the cluster were faintly protected.
"The target is in range!"
"Open the Energy Shield!"
"The main cannon is ready to fire!"
A series of orders were issued, and with the assistance of the brain, the fleet unfolded the battle formation at its own pace in an orderly manner.
During the confrontation period of traditional naval ships and giant artillery, it is especially important to seize the T-shaped position, so that the side in the T-shaped position can better concentrate firepower.
The same is true for the fleet duel at this time, how to break the opponent's shield better and faster is a compulsory course for every captain.
When the two fleets face off or even fire at each other's main guns, the speed of the fleet itself will be reduced accordingly in order to better allow the main guns to be targeted.
When designing the ship's main gun a few years ago, there were initially two designs, fixed turret and rotating turret, which were almost identical in design performance, but subsequent prototype experiments declared the victory of the fixed turret.
The reason is a bit ironic, the effect of the energy shield is mutual, not only blocking the enemy's attack, but also blocking its own fire.
It is almost impossible for a rotating turret to solve this problem, while a fixed turret only needs to stop the energy shield generator in a fixed area before the main gun fires, which is why the main gun needs to be counted down before it fires.
Through the information summarized earlier, Qiu Yan knew that the enemy shield on the opposite side was also very capable of carrying, so he first gave the order to launch a missile cluster.
A hundred nuclear missiles propelled by the latest ion thrusters streaked across the void and approached quickly, and the people of Hatala did not dare to be careless, so they sent a part of the shuttle aircraft to intercept them.
Three 'eight-bladed' painted with the symbol of the Black Star, under the cover of numerous 'eight-bladed', broke through the thinned defense line and quickly approached the location of the Hatala fleet.
The Hatalas obviously didn't pay much attention to the 'Eight Blades', a small flying machine that lacked long-range offensive means, and in their opinion, the diamond-shaped spaceship's own defensive weapon system was enough to keep these three 'little bugs' from coming back.
This idea is really good, and one of the three 'Eight Blades' that spread out was soon hit, and before disintegrating, it detonated the thermonuclear weapon it carried, and exploded into a huge and bright fireball!
This is the most powerful thermonuclear weapon ever made by human civilization, with a total explosive yield of more than 100 million tons of TNT, which is not the shrunken 'Tsar Bomba' in history.
Named it 'Sun's Fury', adding it to the fleet's regular weapons.
In 39 nanoseconds, Solar Fury unleashed an ultra-high temperature of nearly 10 billion degrees Celsius, nearly 1,000 times the temperature of the Sun's center, at which no known metal can survive.
The other two 'Eight Blades' also detonated the 'Sun's Fury' they carried before they were destroyed, and blue flames swept across the void.
The so-called energy shield is like tissue paper at this temperature, and the blue light flame releases light and heat wantonly, but soon disappears into space with the energy escaping.
Without giving the Hatala fleet any respite, the main artillery strike of the First Fleet followed, and the Hatala fleet, which was 'licked' by the blue light flame and lost its energy shield, watched as it was hit by the orange laser column.
At this time, there was another continuous burst of fireballs, and the Hatala aircraft that went to intercept the missile group finally stopped the missile group at the cost of losing most of it.
It's a pity that a part of it was sent to intercept the missile group, but the defense line facing the 'Eight Blades' cluster was full of holes, and more and more Black Star 'Eight Blades' approached the Hatala fleet.
Attacks explode, and if you don't attack, they explode, and the suicide attack of the Black Star 'Eight Blades' made the Hatala fleet feel terrified.
However, in the face of the First Fleet's laser cannon attack, most of the energy is supplied to the energy shield, which inevitably affects the power system.
However, the Quetzalcoatl favored its people, and it was at this moment that the First Fleet had to stop its attack with a piercing warning, "Warning! Warn! The main gun launch system is overheating! β
In the face of the successive attacks of the Black Star 'Eight Blades', the Hatala fleet fled in panic during the window period of the First Fleet's attack after leaving behind the wreckage of six diamond-shaped spaceships.
At this time, the Hattarashuo-type aircraft that was bitten by the dead was obviously abandoned.
These warriors of Hatala launched a desperate attack, bravely destroying one after another 'Eight Blades', but unfortunately in the end they were still unable to recover, and disintegrated one by one under the superior number of 'Eight Blades'.
Qiu Yan looked at the fleeing Hatala fleet, the tension before the battle had completely disappeared, and at this time, a smile on the corner of his mouth waved lightly, "Start the camouflaged space torpedo." β
The so-called space torpedo naturally cannot be loaded with TNT, and in order to maximize the power of the weapon, frenzied weapons researchers have concocted a 'space version of the thermonuclear torpedo'.
Subsequently, at the request of the Ministry of War, a variant disguised as a meteorite was developed.
While the two sides were engaged head-on, these space torpedoes, disguised as meteorites, quietly circled behind the Khattara fleet and scattered in a hemispherical shape across the vast expanse of space.
These space torpedoes were much smaller than combat vehicles that were often thirty or forty meters long, and their energy response was also very weak, and they deliberately avoided the range of engagement, so they did not attract the attention of the Hatala fleet.
When the Hatala fleet withdrew, the orbit was adjusted in advance and quietly glued to the hull of the spaceship.
