Chapter 316: Attrition Rate

Not to mention the rampage of the Destiny Transcendent on the battlefield of the Divine Castle -- the so-called "opening and hanging for a while, turning back to the crematorium" -- relying on the "double-field effect" to open Wushuang is a double-edged sword, that is, hurting others and hurting oneself, which is a thankless thing. Turning back to the money it costs to replace the shell of the battleship, it is estimated that the Asari will cry to death......

The Destiny Transcendent took a group of junior brothers out of the encirclement and began to circle around the Divine Citadel space station with a diameter of about 20 kilometers, and the space for maneuvering suddenly became more than enough. With Li Huamei's command and YF-533's intelligent support, the Citadel Council has turned the danger into safety. Not to mention grinding until Hackett led the Fifth Fleet to support, if there are enough supply belts, grinding until next month will not be a problem.

The battlefield on the front line of the Divine Citadel was temporarily stabilized, and Lu Yuan immediately turned his vision back to the Spear Galaxy.

Directly in front of the Mothership of Dawn, countless Reaper warships are entering the battlefield!

When it comes to calculations, anyone may miscalculate, but "catalyst" certainly not. In a sense, the "catalyst" should be the most computationally powerful artificial intelligence in the entire galaxy. Therefore, he sent the fleet to attack the Dawn, and in theory it was certain to achieve a complete victory.

Perhaps at first, the number of 24,000 Reaper ships sounded like an improvised idea. But if you plan carefully, you can know that this should be a maximum value that the catalyst has come up with after carefully calculating the situation of his Dawn that Xing Yan told him, the expected development and progress of Lu Yuan and others in the past ten years, and the maximum possible combat power of the current galaxy - and then multiply by two! He just wanted to use Taishan's momentum to kill Lu Yuan......

You must know when the last generation of Proxian civilization was destroyed. The Prothean civilization is already a great empire that has unified the entire galaxy, and the number of reaper fleets sent by "Catalyst" to harvest is only half of what it is now, but the situation at that time was completely crushed.

"The Reaper side lost 27.65%. The Dawn was wiped out. Lady Dawn came to this conclusion almost at the same time as the pioneer "Ogy".

This is the boring thing about modern Big Army warfare, where supercomputers and artificial intelligence can track millions or tens of millions of targets at the same time, and accurate guns can be shot at a distance of one light, no more than the length of a finger. Tens of thousands of guns fired in unison, uneven and staggered, and each shot was accurate. Under the command of a super artificial intelligence, it is impossible to have a sneak attack or a mistaken attack in a battle. There will be no surprise.

Everything is calculated - both sides will be sacrificed and annihilated, and then these will become cold parameters for the next calculation.

If you die in a war like this, don't think you've been injured by mistake. I don't deserve to die...... That's absolutely impossible...... Computers are not so retarded. Because you're the part that was given up in pursuit of victory, and the computer labeled you long before you died—even if you could survive and go back without your resources and military status—you wouldn't die. It will affect the follow-up plan......

This is probably the ultimate form of large-scale warfare.

What would it be like to have more than 20,000 warships lined up together. It is difficult to imagine a description in words alone, because any word used here would pale in comparison. As the saying goes, "If there are more than 10,000 people, there is no shore". What's more, every unit that makes up this community is a huge Reaper battleship.

As the huge group of battleships advanced, it gradually split into two sets, the front and the rear.

Ahead were nearly 20,000 Destroyer-class warships, formed into a circular wall in distinct layers, slowly advancing in the direction of the Dawn. The Overlord-level Reaper in the rear shrank into four arrays. The claws open to reveal the muzzle of the main gun and the orange inner world, pointing at the Mothership Dawn in the distance.

And that's not all. With a buzzing buzz, a near-endless stream of floating fighters was unleashed by the Reaper battleship. They descended to the lower edge of the Destroyer's formation, and then surged toward an overwhelming cloud of darkness. But before the group of fighters crossed the balance line, the last row of Overlord-class battleships launched the first strike......

There is no need to say much about the difference between the effective range and the maximum range of the main gun. However, in space, because there is no resistance, the difference between the effective range and the maximum range of live ammunition weapons is too great! Because of the comprehensive consideration of the projectile flight time, speed, target escape speed, etc., the effective range of the main gun may only be a few light seconds; But to talk about the maximum range, because as long as it is not subjected to external forces, the projectile can fly in space almost forever, so the maximum range is almost unlimited.

The Dawn Mothership and Lightning Strike Battleship Matrix are suspended above the twin blue giants, and it seems that there is no mobility, and there is no dodge when they tried to attack before, so the first step for the Reaper is to use the powerful main guns of the Overlord-class battleship to directly launch a super distance strike!

On the screen in front of Lu Yuan, you can clearly see that the huge insect-shaped battleship spreads its hook claws, revealing the crimson interior of the battleship. The battleship took aim, and then the belly lit up, and a stream of orange-red metal shot out violently at sub-light speed! The heavily arrayed Reaper warships fired a salvo together, and four thousand orange-red lines of fire instantly surpassed the Destroyer Front and floating fighters, and attacked the lightning strike fleet overwhelmingly.

The flaw of the lightning strike battleship is that it does not have a mass core, so there is no kinetic energy barrier, and only relies on the alloy shell. In the face of the reaper's blow, I am afraid that I will lose a lot in one go.

The mass effect cannon, an artifact that defends the sky, has an energy efficiency far exceeding that of beam weapons, and deflection and dodge are the mainstream, and only the hard resistance of the battleship's shell cannot resist a few rounds. Since Lu Yuan had long known the advantages and disadvantages of the lightning strike battleship, of course it was impossible to be unprepared.

At the moment when the torrent of metal crossed the balance line, the Dawn Mothership located in the center of the Lightning Strike Fleet Matrix suddenly emitted a burst of azure light, and then a bright light blue spherical light film opened, rapidly expanding in all directions, enveloping the entire fleet along with the Dawn Mothership! The Mass Effect core of the Mothership Dawn is so huge that only the Repeater in the entire galaxy can match it. Therefore, the open kinetic energy barrier is not only extremely thick, but the diameter looks as huge as an asteroid!

After the countless lines of fire landed on the blue kinetic energy barrier film, although they passed through, they were immediately bent visibly with the naked eye, and then flew towards the blue giant star under their feet......

"I knew it wasn't that simple," said "Og...... hiding in the group of fighters, but it was normal for shields to appear - it was just that the Dawn's mass effect field was cleverly linked to the gravitational field of the twin blue giants, and the effect was greatly enhanced, so that any mass effect weapon would be greatly affected, which was somewhat unexpected to him.

"31.41%" he increased the loss by 4 percentage points, "floating fighters are dispatched!" The Destroyer is out! ”

Although it is all attrition, in the mind of the Pioneer-class Reaper "Og", the Overlord-class battleship is still more important, so it is best to let the losses be borne by the Destroyer and the floating fighter. Destroyer-class ships are extremely large ships made from the "leftovers" race during each round of harvesting; And the floating fighter is a combination of synthetic fuselage + basic artificial intelligence, it can be said that the Reaper can make as much as he wants, and the quantity is endless.

"1.44 million!" Faced with the swarming swarm of fighters, Lady Dawn appeared at Lu Yuan's side and told him the preliminary statistics. In addition, there is a "loss rate of 31.41%. ”

"Still too low...... We'll wait, we'll need to be patient now. Lu Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, leaned forward, crossed his fingers on his chin, and stared at the rows of cylindrical lightning strike warships outside the porthole. H7N9, are you ready? ”

“Always! (Always ready)" he received a word of steel.

*****

Under each lightning strike ship, a large black curtain of thermal insulation is hung.

Neatly arranged heavy mechs, quietly hanging in the shadows of the lightning strike battleship, murderous. Dressed in a giant mech painted as a Space Marine, H7N9 is at the top of the line, holding an even larger blaster in his left hand and a chainsaw sword in his right hand.

"Assault preparation—" he roared in a low voice.

With the order, countless magazines were loaded at the same time!! (To be continued......)
