Chapter 227: Particle Matrix Attack
Compared with the first energy burst of star B, the second energy burst was obviously much stronger, and the expedition of the Earth Federation was much closer to star B than when it was subjected to the first energy burst.
And because of the need to deal with ultra-high-heat beam weapons from the surface of the B star, the protective shields of many warships have been opened to more than 60% of the power, and the energy reserves in the battleships are also being consumed rapidly.
At this time, the second burst of energy from Star B was undoubtedly worse, and it was likely that the troops would suffer the second heavy loss since the expedition to α Centauri.
This was also unavoidable, not only because of the proximity, but also because the second burst of energy was so fast that all the battleships had time to reinforce their protective shields, and it had already covered the entire expeditionary force.
Visible to the naked eye, the moment thousands of warships came into contact with the energy that erupted from star B, the protective shield on their surface trembled violently, and a trace of invisible cracks quickly spread on the surface of the protective shield of the battleship, which made the energy that erupted from star B seem to have found a vent, and rushed in, and countless stellar radiation instantly touched the hull behind the protective shield.
Although the materials used to build these warships are extremely resistant to heat and radiation, under such a huge burst of energy, there is still a very small amount of stellar radiation entering the cabin of the battleship, coupled with the attack of beam weapons from the ground, the consequences are self-evident.
These thousands of warships were just the first batch, and tens of thousands more were infiltrated into the hull by stellar radiation, followed by tens of thousands more...... In this process, all the warships are unable to attack, not only to maintain the protective shield, but also the various scanning and locking instruments are simply unable to function in this burst of energy, and even if they hit, they cannot find the target.
The energy burst of Star B lasted for more than twenty seconds, which also indirectly or directly caused the loss of nearly 900,000 warships, which can be said to be the most severe loss of the Earth Federation since the start of the war.
Of course, the Three-Body Civilization's method of manipulating stellar radiation to attack should not be able to be used many times or it would be quite troublesome to use, otherwise they would not have caused the second B-star energy explosion after such a long interval.
This is exactly the case, the third prince looked at the machine in front of him that was constantly devouring stellar energy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the energy burst like just now can be carried out at most two more times, and this machine will need to be repaired.
However, two bursts of energy were enough, and as long as the timing was right, it could still pit at least a third of the fleet's strength. The third prince thought secretly in his heart.
At the same time, he was still a little lucky, fortunately he had this machine rewarded by the rules of the universe, otherwise he really didn't know how to fight this war.
Even so, the powerful energy shield technology of that fleet shocked him deeply, and it also made him even more determined that after he ascended the throne, he started the research program of the space battleship, compared to the battleships of that fleet, the battleships of the three-body civilization were like babies, without resistance.
There is also the planet fortress, and I have to go to that ruin to bring back the manufacturing technology of the other half......
Having endured the loss of nearly 900,000 warships, the commander of the fleet, a veteran general in his sixties, was on the verge of exploding.
Although these losses are nothing compared to the entire expeditionary force, they can't hold on to their faces. In vain, he is still the top three super commanders in the virtual battlefield, and it is undoubtedly a huge shame that he has lost two times and more than a million warships at the hands of the same civilization!
"Damn bed bugs." The old general scolded in a low voice, but he was more calm in his heart, and not letting anger affect his judgment was a necessary quality for a commander.
He took a deep breath and said quickly: "All units will immediately report the battle damage and the energy surplus of all warships, and the detachment commander will uniformly submit it to me." ”
"Roger, counting......"
"After the statistics are completed, please ask the battle command to receive the battle damage:"
"The first detachment lost 3,981 warships, and 296019 warships remained, of which 20,819 warships with more than 65% of the energy reserves attacked, 106,000 warships with more than 50% of the warships, and the rest of the warships totaled 169,200 ships."
"The second detachment lost 10233 battleships, ...... remained"
"The third detachment lost 6 ......"
"Fourth Detachment ......"
"Fifth ......"
“……”
Soon, the captains of each fleet reported the battle damage in their respective detachments, including the remaining energy of all warships.
Listening to the numbers constantly reported by the artificial intelligence, the fleet commander gradually calmed down, and calmly ordered: "All warships with less than 50% energy remaining are ready to carry out particle matrix attacks, and I will destroy all the weapons on the ground!" The rest of the ships open their shields to defend them against those high-temperature beams! ”
"Yes!"
When the order of the fleet commander was delivered, nearly five million warships broke away from their original ranks and lined up in front of the entire expeditionary force, while the rest of the warships came to the vicinity of these warships with protective shields on their guards, ready to guard against the attack of beam weapons.
Seeing this scene, the fleet commander immediately nodded with satisfaction and issued the second order: "All the warships in charge of the attack will be ready to attack in three seconds, 3, 2, 1...... Attack! ”
"Boom!"
At the sound of the order, three million warships with less than 50 percent energy surplus launched an attack with particle beam weapons.
Unlike the previous Concentrated Fire, this attack was more precise, with a small group of four ships and a single wave of attack enough to destroy a beam weapon.
And whenever a beam weapon attacks here, there will be several warships working together to resist those attacks, and the efficiency is much higher than before.
And the warships responsible for resisting beam weapons are basically full of energy, plus several warships work together to share a beam attack, so the energy consumption is not very large.
As for the three million warships responsible for the attack, they increased their energy output to the maximum, giving up the defense of the shield in exchange for a faster and more powerful attack, and the beam weapons were blown to pieces under their bombardment, coupled with the auxiliary attack of those biological weapons on the ground, the fortifications on the surface of the B star were quickly destroyed.
This continued for almost half an hour before the particle matrix attack was delayed by the third wave of energy burst from Star B.
At this time, the transport ship loaded with the mecha unit finally arrived on the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
