Chapter 320: The War to Hell IV
The two-kilometer-long Overlord-class Reaper battleship is equivalent to the distance of one subway station, and the horizontal volume can occupy half the size of the Forbidden City! Its kinetic barrier is the thickest of any galactic warship, and can survive the main guns of the Turk Dreadnought unscathed. Not to mention the laser-resistant coatings on the hulls and the dense synthetic quantum-class hull armor...... But all of this, in front of the invisible blade, seemed to have lost its effect.
The hull of the ship is cut straight and clean! The huge hull was torn apart by the void like a piece of paper, and the wound still emitted burns and crimson scorch marks, like butter cut by a hot knife—and then the blade forward, and the entire Overlord-class battleship was cut in two by the waist and tilted!
But that's not all. The invisible sword continued in an arcing trajectory, slicing diagonally through the middle of the entire sneak attack fleet! Along the way, I saw the ship wrecked and died, some of the Reaper battleships were cut in two, and some dodged the hull, but the hook claws left behind were cut down by the knives that did not stop!
The entire fleet was hit hard in an instant! The rest of the sneak attack ships fled in all directions like exploding wolves! That invisible "sword" was so terrifying that even a creature like the Reaper, who didn't care about sacrifice, couldn't help but shudder from the depths of his soul!
However, those ships that escaped, no matter which direction they fought, the lead battleship would crash head-on with the new "invisible sword" and be cleanly slashed in two! There is no way to heaven and no door to the earth. It's as if they're trapped in a washing machine with a sword drum, and they're dead everywhere.
"Run back!" I don't know who shouted, and the rest of the battleships didn't say a word. Turn the bow of the ship and rush in the direction it came!
However, the invisible swords of the Quartet closed together in an instant at this moment......
There are poems and clouds: a piece of two, three or four pieces, five, six, seven, eight, ninety, ninety, thousand, thousands of pieces, countless pieces, flying into the plum blossoms are always missing.
There is no such thing as a reaper raiding fleet, all that remains is an infinite amount of debris scattered towards the surface of the twin blue giants......
The Dawn ran into energy exhaustion. The main guns are being restarted, and all the melee batteries are offline, just like the Legion shields have been turned off - such a Dawn. She has completely lost the ability to attack, defend, and even flee - she is on the table like a delicious meal, and seems to be able to be slaughtered at will by the Reaper fleet...... It's just such a mothership of dawn that has given the Reaper a blow to the head!
How did she do it? What magical weapon is the Dawn hiding? Or Lu Yuan did not hesitate to consume precious magic power. Win with magic?
Neither...... The Dawn's secret weapon is actually very simple......
It's right in our elementary school nature textbook. Every bear child knows that when we burn bugs with a magnifying glass, we're playing with a smaller version of it.
The top of the Mothership Dawn has six rotors, each 70+ kilometers long, and the surface area of a single piece is more than 1400 square kilometers! Her spiral arm is made entirely of solar photovoltaic panels, which are the hardest and toughest part of the Dawn's mass material, and the machining accuracy is even 1 order of magnitude (10 times) higher than that of the hull! The surface machining accuracy of the spiral arm is up to the quantum level, and it is still extremely smooth under a super microscope. As Dawn flies in the synchronous orbit of the blue giant, the surface of the six spiral arms absorbs the converted solar energy on a daily basis. That's equivalent to the total amount of energy that the sun hits the earth's surface for a whole year!
That is, when the six spiral arms reflect back the light of the blue giant. It is equivalent to six laser knives with an energy intensity of about 0.8xE17 (10 to the 17th power) kW power!
Therefore, when the Mothership Dawn transforms the six spiral arms from "energy absorption mode" to "reflection mode", the six rotating "blades" formed by the concentrated light reflection of the rotating six spiral arms will be the most powerful and sharpest rolling blades in the entire galaxy! The blade was indestructible, not to mention the Reaper, not even the Dawn itself dared to stand in its way.
Therefore, the formation of the Dawn Mothership at the beginning did not defend the "Western Front" - because it was a dead place at all - if it were not for the reflection weapon with its natural dead end, the Dawn would dare to block and kill God with its back to the blue giant star and rely on its six spiral arms!
*****
The total loss rate of the Reaper fleet reaches 30% in an instant! This is already close to the maximum estimate of the losses of the Reaper fleet of "Augur" at the beginning of the war! But the Mothership Dawn was still unscathed, and even two-thirds of the Lightning Strike fleet remained. Only the 100,000 heavy mechs released by the Dawn suffered the greatest losses, and there are currently less than 5,000 left......
Mistakes and false expectations, a series of blows have completely destroyed the self-confidence of the pioneer Augur!
However, at the moment when the first battleship of the sneak attack fleet was cut off, "Auger" chose to make a desperate bet with the whole army! Because it's cornered - the Reaper fleet has never lost against galactic civilizations for millions of years! Not only that, but the Reaper fleet didn't even encounter even resistance! (That's why the Reaper also behaves inexperienced)
The pioneer "Ogg" could not allow himself to be the first! Especially the first loser! It could already feel the burning fury of the "catalyst" coming from the direction of the Citadel, burning its back! If it dares to take a step back, it is believed that the catalyst will give him a miserable end, when death will become its most extravagant desire...... So, it's irreversible!
"Three-tier array! Advance! "Augur the Pioneer has put his will back into every Reaper ship! Any will to resist in the slightest way is suppressed by its powerful spiritual ability, and even directly crushed! At this moment, although the fleet suffered heavy losses, "Augur" really became the master of this detachment! It also understands that the distant "catalyst" acquiesces in its control of this fleet at this moment, but at a cost......
The revived Destroyer-class Reaper battleship frantically escaped from the area of the Legion's shield, and I believe that no warship will dare to challenge the "absolute forbidden/zone" of the Dawn! The remaining 7,000 ships were lined up in array of first and third tiers of ships directly in front of the Dawn; And the three thousand Overlord-class Reaper warships that broke through to the center of the balance line, led by Augur the Harbinger, formed the second layer of the backbone array!
The formation of the entire three fronts was densely distributed in the direction of the tail of the Dawn, within an area of 120 degrees - the absolute dead angle of the theoretical rotor reflection......
They maintained the maneuverability to move sideways in the direction of the tail of the battleship Dawn at any time, and then formed a battle line in battle. They completely distanced themselves from the Legion's shield, and completely abandoned the use of other tactical means - they planned to use the most basic and dignified main artillery bombardment tactics to decide the final victory!
The surviving heavy mechs on the Dawn side were recovered from the mothership, and countless mechanical spiders were released, and the damaged lightning ship was repaired on the ground. The lightning warships that have woken up one after another have been rearranged into a new matrix formation, and they are far away from the three fronts of the Reapers, waiting for them!
The war finally entered its third phase - the war of attrition.
*****
But Lu Yuan didn't pay attention to the battlefield, and the confrontation between the three fronts and the lightning matrix was directly handed over by him to Anne to be responsible for decision-making and command; The heavy mechs, which lost up to 95%, were handed over to H7N9 and Lady Dawn to help clean up the mess; The repair and restart of the Dawn itself, and whether or not to participate in the war after that, is entirely up to Yakumo Murasaki.
Lu Yuan's eyes always penetrated the holographic screen in front of him, focusing on the "Flying Dutchman", a black galleon with a wooden hull and a shabby and dirty appearance, parked in the top cabin of the Mothership Dawn.
On the Dawn side, more than 700,000 people have died so far! However, the soul of each warrior was attracted by the soul coordinates of the magic tower and returned safely to the ship. At this time, even if the prosthetic training cabin was fully "produced", it still could not meet the needs of all the dead. In particular, the geth accounted for the vast majority of the casualties, and they could only stay in the computer memory for the time being.
But now on the battlefield, it's not just the Dawn side that has fallen in battle......
According to the original history, every 50,000 years of harvesting, the Reaper will only build the only new Overlord-class battleship! The raw materials for this warship were the most dynamic individuals of the most dominant civilizations in the galaxy - that were about billions or tens of billions of creatures, about a quarter of the total number of individuals in the entire civilization - and the rest were discarded as residues!
The remaining minor civilizations, such as those ruled by the Prothean Empire during the time of the Prosian Empire. These creatures of these civilizations are used to create an unlimited number of Destroyer warships......
But when the Lord God replaced the "catalyst", He changed his approach. The vast majority of the dominant civilizations in each cycle are used to build Overlord-class warships, with very little residue discarded - which is why "Catalyst" says that he is very good at building warships. Therefore, compared to the real history, the small Destroyer-class warships in the Reaper fleet may be 150% of the number they should have, but the Dreadnought-class overlord Reaper warships are more than four or five times the original number!
――Catalyst has succeeded in creating the Reaper Battleship Sea!
In other words, it is precisely because of this "good manufacturing" of the catalyst that the vast majority of the biological souls of each round of civilization are preserved, and then tied to the Reaper battleship......
When more than 30% of the vast Reaper fleet was destroyed, the spirits were released and circled around the Dawn. There were so many of them that they filled every inch of space within ten minutes, and even the actual form could be faintly discerned.
In Lu Yuan's eyes, billions of souls are singing on the battlefield!
When the Dawn opened the zenith, billions of souls threw themselves at the open gate like jackdaws! The "Flying Dutchman", which was parked directly below the gate and had just been hit by the light, moved slightly...... (To be continued......)
