Chapter 222: The War Begins
As the saying goes, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and if you want to be a good person while you want to rob people, how can there be such a good thing?
After Meng Ke's order was conveyed, Tang Xue immediately mobilized a large number of soldiers from warships and mecha troops to march towards the Centauri α.
The attitude of the civilization of the earth has shown that it wants us to leave? Let's play with eggs.
The three-body civilization that has been paying attention to this place has obviously been confused by the sudden transformation of the Earth Federation, what is the situation? It was fine just now, why did you have to use troops in an instant? We are a peace-loving civilization!
That being said, the Three-Body Civilization is not slow.
The war, caught off guard by the Earth Federation, broke out with a bang!
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
When a total of one million warships in the first echelon of the Earth Federation entered the edge of the Centauri α, countless high-energy bombs hidden in asteroids and meteorites were instantly detonated.
In just a moment's effort, the power equivalent to the explosion of trillions of tons of nuclear bombs shrouded the first echelon of the Earth Federation, even if the million warships carried a powerful energy shield, they were blown up by the powerful explosion power at the moment of contact with the explosion, and the energy shield began to fluctuate violently, and the energy stored in the battleship was rapidly consumed at this moment.
Rao is Earth Federation's shield is extremely defensive, and after the explosion lasted for several minutes, it was blown out of several gaps, and tens of thousands of warships were destroyed on the spot, and the rest suffered damage of varying severity.
However, this was only an appetizer, as the trillion-ton nuclear bomb equivalent explosion dissipated, followed by tens of millions of satellite fortresses that seemed to be pinching the dots, and the dense fire once again enveloped the remaining warships.
At this time, the surviving battleships no longer had good luck, and the stored energy was not much left in the explosion, and now under the rapid consumption, the shields of the battleships began to crumble, and the fate of these battleships was to become a firework.
Obviously, at the beginning of the war, the Earth Federation suffered a small loss.
Not only Meng Ke, but even Tang Xue, who had been memorizing military information in recent decades, did not expect that the Three-Body Civilization would place so many bombs and tens of millions of satellite fortresses on the margins of the Centauri α.
In their opinion, even if the Three-Body Civilization has a sense of crisis, it should not be too heavily guarded, but now it seems that their idea is completely wrong. This is no longer something that can be described by Strictness, it is simply extremely painful Cheng dù, how idle does this have to be?
At the same time, the high-level leaders of the Earth Federation finally knew why the Three-Body Civilization had delayed for five months to send the first communication to the Earth Federation.
It turns out that they are not assessing the threat of the earth's civilization, but laying traps!
It is conceivable that any meteorite or asteroid flying around the margins of the α Centauri in the past five months may be a bomb or a satellite fortress transported by the insidious Trisolaran civilization.
However, with the lesson of this time, I believe that the Earth Federation will not be careless when facing anything in the future
After nearly seventy percent of the first echelon was wiped out, the three million warships of the second echelon finally reached the edge of the α Centauri, and joined the battlefield immediately after the first echelon.
With the addition of these three million new forces, the first echelon is finally no longer pressed and beaten. Although it is still a little difficult to face tens of millions of satellite fortresses with full firepower at the same time, there will be no casualties in a short period of time, but those satellite fortresses will begin to be blown up one after another.
These satellite fortresses do not have their own protective shields like warships, and their storage is like cannon fodder as a substitute, with a pair of sharp teeth, but they are an ant body, and they have no defense ability at all.
Therefore, as long as they are hit by the weapons of the Earth Federation, these satellite fortresses basically have no ability to resist, except for being blown up, they lose their ability to attack because of the damage of some components, and they can no longer play any role in the war.
Soon, the five million warships of the third echelon also joined the battlefield, and at this moment, the tens of millions of satellite fortresses suddenly fell into the downwind, and it only took a few dozen minutes to be wiped out, and at this time, the ten million warships of the fourth echelon had just arrived, and together with the second echelon and the third echelon, they passed through the edge of the α nebula in the constellation Centauri, and flew towards the three brightest stars in the distance.
As for the remaining 100,000 warships in the first echelon, they flew back to the Earth Federation for rest and replenishment, and they will reinforce the three echelons in front together with the transport ships loaded with 50 million mecha soldiers.
Don't look at the 50 million mecha soldiers, in fact, these 50 million mecha soldiers combined, they don't necessarily have 10 million second-level civilization warships...... And it's the kind without antimatter cannons.
Even though the current mech model has been updated to the seventh generation, and the weapon system has been replaced with particle weapons and added a mimic engine, its attack power and agility have been greatly increased, and the latter is not much better than that of a real person, but this cannot make up for its lack of defense.
At the very least, there is no form of metal that can withstand the bombardment of the main gun of a battleship, even if it is a warship in the early stage of the second-level civilization, it can scrap a seventh-generation mecha with seven or eight cannons with electromagnetic main guns.
Although in reality, it is impossible for the person driving the mecha to stand there stupidly and let the enemy's artillery bombardment, but in a large-scale war, the mecha is the one who delivers food when the artillery is flying all over the sky, and it can only follow the fighter when the landing battle is carried out.
The current situation is similar to the above, the Centauri α is the hometown of the three-body civilization, and if all the threats in it are eliminated and the Earth Federation can be settled safely, then landing operations are inevitable.
After all, the ship's guns can't cover some units in the ground or bunkers, so the flexible mechs can take the place of the battleship to perform these tasks.
Even if the mecha can't go underground, the mech soldiers wearing exoskeleton power armor have more powerful shooting and fighting abilities than the fleet soldiers, and they are even more handy for landing operations, because they are doing this in the first place - this is why the Earth Federation still retains the federal security force (chengguan), a redundant security department, under the close surveillance of Jarvis.
After all, arresting some gangsters, criminals and the like can also exercise their fighting ability, and their reputation is countless times better than that of the previous chengguan. (To be continued.) )
