"The foundation of space warfare is the shield, and all tactics revolve around the shield."

Xia Yongzhi's tone of being in class made Lin Youde frown slightly. "In my experience, all battles now revolve around shields, and the core of a strategy must be to break the opponent's shield and avoid your own shield being crushed," he said. So you don't have to teach us a lesson, just crush the ship in front of you. ”

"But now the other side is not moving, and I need time to think of a combat strategy that can kill them, you must know that I am flying an alien spaceship, and its armament and protection concept are different from ours, do you understand? I'm going to talk to help me sort out everything. ”

Lin Youde could only nod.

"As long as the shield is defeated, the ship's own armor is useless, so in the current races of the galaxy, everyone's ship shell is designed to deal with directed energy weapons, such as lasers. When the shield is lost, the ship is very vulnerable, and only luck and damage can be used to avoid the worst. Therefore, the ships of the Ilarai have an advantage, they are not afraid of losing their shields, because the enemy must also take out ten small reactors scattered throughout the huge hull at the same time after defeating its shields. ”

"Not necessarily ten," Freya suddenly interjected, "Each of Ilala's ships embodies the creative passion of the designer, so the number and location distribution of the reactors also depends on the designer. ”

"That's right," Xia Yongzhi pointed at Freya, "Now you understand how difficult it is to destroy an Ilarai ship, as long as there is a reactor left, the ship will be restored quickly, so you will have to spend firepower to make sure it is completely shredded after taking out the shield of the Ilarai ship." ”

Lin Youde nodded, his eyes were still fixed on the Romran battleship, and the other party was strangely silent.

Xia Yongzhi continued: "It is precisely because of the importance of shields that the main warships of various races in the galaxy are always built bigger and bigger, and greater tonnage means stronger shields and more weapons. It is also argued that a larger hull will increase the shield itself and increase the hit rate, so the increase in tonnage will outweigh the losses. But in fact, at the current level of fire control, hitting a dreadnought is as simple as hitting a cruiser, so reducing the shield protection area is useless. As a result, everyone's warships are getting bigger and bigger like balloons, and the main ships of the Ten Giants of the Galactic Council are generally big guys. Much larger than our largest dreadnought.

"In addition, the second rule of using shields is that when one shield is overloaded, another shield of the same nature cannot be activated immediately to replace it, so the second shield will also be overloaded immediately, which is related to the operation mechanism of the shield. In a word. In space battles, if you defeat the shield, we won, and all we need to think about is breaking through that defensive field. ”

Lin Youde waited for a while, only to find that Xia Yongzhi was looking at him, and it seemed that it was time for him to ask. Lin Youde pondered for a moment and asked, "Then how can we preemptively overload the enemy's shield?" ”

"Actually, you don't have to overload the enemy, and finding a way to bypass the shield is also a way out, and this is the way for human combat boat tactics. In addition, don't we always like to test the opponent's shield with different types of attacks at the same time in normal battles, and there is a similar practice in space warfare, so a battleship will always be equipped with several different types of weapons. ”

Xia Yongzhi said and fiddled with the holographic stereoscopic projection operation panel projected by Noah in front of her.

Lin Youde looked at it. Confirm that she is taking turns switching between the shooting elements of various weapons.

[She is already preparing to attack Zhuyuan, it seems that she can't wait to strike first. 】

Lin Youde couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and the other party's silence was a little strange.

[Newsletter received.] Noah's report.

"Looks like the other side is calling us." Xia Yongzhi also reported after a short delay, "Do you want to take it, Commander?" ”

The last three words of the commander have a playful and naughty feeling.

Lin Youde nodded, and a square opening appeared on the globular display around them, and the head of the Romran with its distinctive forehead appeared in the center of the opening. The other party used a focused camera device, so Lin Youde could only see the head of the Romran people, and he couldn't see anything up and down the left and right of the head, and the head was like floating in the air. The blurred neck looked like blood running down the cut under the head.

Of course, the background behind the Romland's head is also blurred, and it is clearly not some computer-made image magic, but a real optical trick. As far as Lin Youde knows. There has never been such a setup in a human visual communication system, and humans don't seem to mind showing the environment in which the communication is taking place.

"Why are you in the cab, humans!" The Romrans made no secret of their surprise, but the way they spoke made it seem like they were always surprised—and shocked.

"We defeated the bribed priest and seized its ship." Lin Youde said leisurely, "By the way, we have already launched the Ansebo Communication. It won't take long for the Zouka and the human warship to arrive - in fact, I think one of the Zouka ships has been tracking the trail of our warp speed to the vicinity, probably only a few dozen light-years away. ”

In fact, Lin Youde didn't communicate with Ansebo, he didn't want the Qiuka people to find it so quickly, if the Qiuka people didn't realize anything before, now they must feel that something is wrong, and now if Lin Youde returns to the territory of the Qiuka people, he will definitely be carefully scanned, and the memory hidden in his mouth will not be scanned. Without knowing which race the information in the memory was stolen from, Lin Youde still hoped that the news that he had obtained the "goods" would not be known by other races.

But the Romlan people obviously didn't know Lin Youde's thoughts.

The Romran's head disappeared from the focal point of their camera equipment, and the whole picture immediately became blurry, and nothing could be seen.

"They didn't even say things like, 'Wait a minute.'" Xia Yongzhi smacked her lips, "What a group of martial artists." ”

Lin Youde shook his head: "There is no such thing as politeness in the culture of their race, and there is no diplomatic rhetoric. ”

"Oh? Someone thinks they know more about the races of the galaxy than I do? ”

Lin Youde immediately shut up, and a moment later another Romran appeared, the bones on his forehead bulging more than the previous Romland, Lin Youde judged that this Romran was more respectable, but in fact this was just his assumption.

"Salute to you, warriors of humanity. In our opinion, you have accomplished an impossible task. Your courage and fighting will be respected by the Romrans. At the same time, I want to make sure that you don't mean to hand over to us what we want, do you? ”

"No, we're going to write a detailed report when we get back. So that the human government can work with the Methodians to hold you accountable for your terrorist attack on the Sethley Cultural Reserve at the Galactic Council, and I think the Methodians would be happy to dig out how you bought a priestly Cycka. ”

"Wait a minute!" Xia Yongzhi suddenly interrupted Lin Youde's words, "Romlan people never buy anyone!" ”

"The female is right, we've only been instructed to make contact with a Jokka spaceship here. And get the captives we want, and the captives will have our 'goods' on them. ”

Xia Yongzhi's complaint came through the tactical link between her and Lin Youde - just after cutting off Lily's tactical link, the two of them established a new link to ensure tactical cooperation.

"He actually said that the female beast, I thought it was just an exaggeration in the book."

Romran society is a deformed patrilineal clan society, with a low female status, and in the entire galaxy, only the Pier, who evolved from cold-blooded animals, despises women more than them. The Pierre relied on eggs to reproduce, and the ratio of eggs to males was about 1 million to 1, and they established a storage and hatchery factory for female eggs, and most of the Pierre females died in the process of development, but the ratio of males to females on the home planet of the Pier people was still 100,000 to 1.

This ratio is one to one in the process of natural reproduction. However, with each step of the civilization of the Pierre people, more females survived because of the preservation of eggs and the improvement of the incubation environment, so the ratio of females to males also skewed, and the quality of scarcity was manifested and became more and more intense.

In modern Pierre society, the male Pierre regularly changes mates, and at the last day and night cycle of a Pierre calendar unit, the male Pierre kills his current spouse with his strong tail, and the female Pierre also regards this as the supreme glory.

It can be said that this is a society that has been twisted to the extreme. The Galactic Council was originally intended to inculcate the concept of equality between men and women in the Piye people, which led to a strong revolt from the Piet people, and the Galactic Council later began to protect the specificity of the various races - just as they did the Sethli society, and the customs of the Pie people were preserved.

And the Romran are much better than the Piye. But they firmly believe that a strong male can have more females, and that the more females they have, the more successful the male.

Obviously, this concept of the Romran people makes Xia Yongzhi very disdainful. After all, an excellent human woman like her is generally a bit feminist, it's just a matter of severity.

While Xia Yongzhi complained about the gender perception of the Romran people, the Romran continued: "Given the current situation. We will leave with no chance of achieving our goals, but we still want to have a decent battle with you. ”

"It's coming!" Xia Yongzhi said.

Decent engagement among the Romrans was a ship-to-ship battle bound by a set of rules, and the Romlands saw the battle as a contest - nothing more than a contest in which death and wealth were lost.

"I refuse." Lin Youde said in a resolute tone, "Our reinforcements will arrive soon, if you attack us, we will resist and start a warp speed damping field, you can only completely destroy us before the reinforcements arrive, otherwise we will kill you together with the reinforcements." ”

"It's useless for you to threaten like this, the Romlands are not afraid of death. Instead, they'll be excited about the offer to completely destroy us before reinforcements arrive, and they'll love a challenge. Xia Yongzhi pointed out to Lin Youde through a tactical link.

Lin Youde secretly said that it was not good, he was used to bluffing, and this may have stimulated the Romland people - this is contrary to Lin Youde's original intention.

But then the Romran said, "Destroying you will not allow us to complete our mission, I am only begging you to give me a chance to redeem my honor." Since you don't want to, I can only take my leave. ”

"What the hell!" Xia Yongzhi muttered quietly, and Lin Youde heard it clearly.

And at this time, the Romran battleship began to turn, and at the same time started its engines. Because the space gravity environment where Lin Youde and them were located was quite flat at this time, the Romran battleship brushed away at a warp speed.

[Their warp tempo target is the home planet of Romland.] Noah's report.

Xia Yongzhi naturally slowed down: "The goal of their warp speed is their home planet, and they really ran." What's going on? ”

"Obviously, the real Romlands are not the same as the Romlands in the materials you've read." Lin Youde said, "Alright, there should be an enemy in the cabin now, let's go kill him, find a way to repair the warp engine of the Dicka, and then return to Arcturus." (To be continued.) )
