The thick pillar of light visible to the naked eye engulfed the small fragments that followed at high speed, and directly vaporized them.

The unabated pillar of light engulfed the sub-light fragments and rushed towards the human battleship a light-second away.

Of course, in the end, it still didn't hit, and the speed of the space battleship in the combat speed state was very amazing, and even if the light pillar had the speed of light, it had a delay of one second due to the distance.

And the gap that can be opened in one second is already very large.

"Is that a laser?"

"Probably not, otherwise the optical camera wouldn't be able to see it." Rousseau gave his buddy a blank look: "Did you pass elementary school?" ”

"Isn't that surprising?"

Although they are chatting now, the work on their hands has not slowed down.

The target identification officer immediately handed over the results of the artillery battle to the gunner next to him and the relevant personnel "in front", and it can be seen from the information that a huge robot has just been killed.

During the first round of shelling of the Texas just now, a huge robot was unfortunately directly hit by a complete kinetic energy projectile. Although it emitted a pillar of light visible to the naked eye in the first place, the complete kinetic energy projectile was only stripped of a shell, and the sub-light speed warhead directly hit the robot in the next instant.

The powerful kinetic energy bomb turned the giant robot into interstellar dust in one fell swoop.

It is speculated that this is a kinetic projectile fired from the Texas' thirteenth turret.

However, everyone knows that this hit is nothing more than a lucky event, although human fire control is very rebellious in the universe, but a light second away with a cannonball no larger than a small car in size to attack a cannonball is only 250 meters long. It is also almost impossible to actually face objects with a smaller area, very complex and random movements.

Just now when the target identification officer was talking to Rousseau. He finished integrating the basic information of the target and created the simulation screen.

Combined with the picture given in the optical camera. The members of the fleet had a rough idea of what kind of opponent they were up against: twenty-five black humanoid robots with heads and faces and limbs that looked like two missiles on their shoulders, about two hundred and fifty meters long. Its limbs are predominantly of that cylindrical type, with a head leaning towards a pentagram.

"Giant robots, why would the Confederacy make such a thing?" The target recognition officer, who provided the image of the target, sighed.

"Huh? Are you sure it's a Confederacy creation? ”

However, his little exclamation was heard by the captain.

"Oh yes." Hearing the captain's voice, the target recognition officer swiped his hand, and the appearance of the huge robot that appeared in the previous target recognition picture was further refined, and then a magnifying window jumped out, and in that magnified window. A confederation logo made up of prominence is very clear. Immediately afterwards, a photo also appeared in front of the captain, although it was vague, but it was vaguely recognizable as the symbol of the Confederacy.

This image is from a probe from a previous walk, which was captured just as a giant robot was illuminated by a light source.

The "Captain" tactical operations officer looked at the captain.

"It doesn't matter." The captain nodded and said, "We are now at war with the Confederacy, and besides, we are human. ”

In this era, if humanity is attacked, will the enemy die well?

"Understood, the attack continues."

In the short time they spoke, the battleship and the Confederacy's massive swarm of robots had crossed a considerable distance.

If we were to represent it in terms of a line, it would be as if the two were drawn in two arcs and approached each other. As the orbital fleet of the Planet Defense Force, they did not want to put the battle site in an orbit relatively close to the planet, although they sent an early warning signal to the ground and the star ring at the first time, but it was not possible to completely evacuate in just a few minutes. Even the planet of New Texas is relatively sparsely populated.

"Close to the effective range!"

The CIC target identification officer shouted this sentence as is customary.

In fact, the main guns of the USS Texas and the other two battleships were loaded within two seconds of the first round of fire, so the gunner, who had been given permission to open fire while the target identification officer was saying this, attacked the Confederacy's massive swarm of robots with the support of the formation officers.

The laser, which is invisible to the naked eye, hit the giant robot first, and the battleship's optical camera and related detector sensors immediately detected the light spots that appeared on the giant robot.

With the support of powerful fire control and detection equipment. All of the gigantic robots were illuminated by the close-in lasers of the three battleships.

They seem to be trying to dodge.

The twenty or so huge robots that had been re-formed into a forward array immediately dispersed to dodge, but the high-energy lasers emitted from the close-in laser array continued to track and irradiate them. It seems that there is no way to escape, and the huge energy of the human close defense laser brings a very obvious spot of light on the huge robot. This maneuvering dodge seems to only reduce the number of flares on their bodies. And the giant robots are constantly performing purposeful and regular maneuvers to reduce the amount of time they are exposed to the same location.

But even then, the mood of the CIC or the entire fleet seemed a little solemn.

Although the human close defense laser is said to be "close defense", in fact, their power is much more powerful than the so-called main guns of the Confederacy and many other cosmic civilizations, and the power brought by the unreasonable power and output is very terrifying.

In previous battles, the Confederate had relied almost outright on their lives to build a path, and many of these wrecks were caused by lasers.

But the laser was only the first step, thousands of kinetic warheads came in an instant, and several huge robots did not even appear to collide and flicker on the dimensional protective wall, and turned into interstellar dust under the powerful force.

This caused the giant robots of the Confederation to change their evasion methods again, and at the same time, from several emitters on their waists and legs, tens of thousands of camouflaged bodies were launched in all directions, and one-time charged bodies similar in size to the main body appeared in the vast universe.

However, the strafing of the Texas and the other two battleships continued, and the mass of charged bodies that had just appeared that had not yet dispersed was instantly reduced by a third, and at the same time, a huge robot continued to be lost.

Different from the rate of fire of large ships and giant guns in people's impressions, in fact, the main guns of human battleships in this era can completely achieve the rate of fire of the 21st century naval "phalanx" system, but in that case, the life of the barrel is only a few seconds, which is not very cost-effective.
