Chapter 436: The So-Called Collision Tactics
The reason why Shen Chao arranged his fleet to stop the Theron people here was to establish himself with an irrefutable victory, and to bring the Theron people to the negotiating table while deterring the fleeing fleet. In other words, his goal was not to fight, but to establish their invincible image through this battle, and to clear the way for the subsequent negotiations and integration of the humans and the Theron in this dimension with technology and resources. Instead of the fugitive fleet, here and the Theron are dead.
Thinking of this, Shen Chao fell into a dilemma again, now that the battlefield situation is so critical, there will inevitably be considerable losses if the fleet stays, and leaving will make his previous arrangements and the efforts of countless people come to naught. He couldn't remember the last time he faced such a dilemma.
"Captain? Captain? How do we do that? Shen Chao suddenly realized that the communication soldier next to him was calling him. I was actually distracted, and in the tense battle situation, I, the commander-in-chief, was actually distracted!
Thinking of this, Shen Chao hurriedly looked up at the hologram in front of him to see how much important tactical information he had missed while his mind wandering. Fortunately, he was just a false alarm, and due to the speed of his mind right now, he had actually wandered for only a second or two. The Theron offensive posture has not changed much in a way that is worth mentioning. But he knew he had to make a decision quickly.
In another one and a half minutes, the super-huge group of fighters will fly within range of their attack. Theron ships will also be within 10 minutes of an effective attack on the expedition's fleet. He had to give his fleet a clear order before these things happened.
"Wait, it's not like there's no way to retreat......" suddenly. A crazy idea jumped out of his mind, and after thinking of this idea, Shen Chao even wondered if he was crazy, but after thinking about it for a while, he still decided to give it a try.
"Order the engine department, close the No. 3 to No. 5 power throttle valves, combine the collision generator, and order the Songhu to break away from the existing position and move closer to us, and the other warships will be divided into two groups and ready to jump...... "Shen Chao issued a series of orders at his fastest speed. The people who received the orders hurriedly went to carry it out, and Roy, who was coordinating the preparation of artillery fire on the side, first reacted after hearing these orders, what Shen Chao was going to do.
"Wait. You don't think you're trying to use that tactic, are you? We've only been there for a few times......" Roy reacted and quickly persuaded Shen Chao to give up his crazy thoughts. Because he knew that what Shen Chao wanted to use was a new and immature tactic in the Mass Effect plane.
Although the Budapest was equipped with equipment that could accomplish this tactic, they had only tested the reliability of the equipment a few times before, and no one had ever practiced such a dangerous tactic in real combat.
"We can't run away, we can't stay here. It's the only way! Shen Chao didn't explain his arrangement too much. Roy saw that he was resolute, so he had to give up persuasion and supervise the relevant preparations with all his might.
The tactics they are about to implement are technically very dangerous. If there is a leak in any link, they are likely to win the shipwreck. So in the case of not being able to turn back. Only prepare for the work and hope for a qiēshun lì too.
Shen Chao took advantage of this gap to communicate with the flagship of the fugitive fleet, the Pegasos, and the situation has progressed to the current stage, and asking the fugitive fleet to stay where they are at this stage is tantamount to sending them to death, although Shen Chao does not like the atmosphere of the fugitive fleet. But it is not enough to send tens of thousands of people to death because of their personal perceptions.
"Admiral Kane, my fleet is about to adjust its tactics and get out of its current defensive position, all the civilian ships in your fleet can now jump out of this galaxy temporarily, and I will inform you to return after the battle." Shen Chao explained a little and was ready to hang up the communication.
"Commander, wait. We can join the war to help......" Admiral Kane hastened to the letter. She could see that Shen Chao's fleet was under a lot of pressure now, and it was estimated that it had been blown up to scum at this time if it was placed in the same position as his ship, but it seemed that the warships of their fellow earthmen were not ordinarily hard. This gave her the will to go to war.
"Thank you for your kindness, Admiral. But we just need you to save your lives now, and I welcome the Pegasos and the Galactica to remain on the periphery of the battlefield and continue to watch the battle, but don't join us in the battle so as not to injure ......"
Shen Chao thought about it and still refused the other party's help, because all the fugitive fleet could provide in the face of the Theron fleet in front of him was a little harassment, and he couldn't disrupt his own arrangement for this effect.
A minute later, when all the preparations on board the Budapest were completed, Shen Chao ordered all the warships in the fleet to make a collective short jump. All ships turned on their Mass Effect generators and jumped to the back of the Theron formation.
Although the moment the jump is completed, the shields of all ships will be reset to zero, becoming extremely vulnerable. However, thanks to the precise calculations of the Guò VI, the position the fleet jumped to was safe for the time being, and by the time the Therons flew to their current position, the fleet's shields should have recovered to at least half of them.
The execution of this tactic was quite successful, just as the ships and fighters of the expedition could not roam the space over long distances and large spans, and although the ships of the Theron ran so fast that the ships of the expedition could not catch up at all.
But their ships also have their own flaws. That is, their jump engine cannot control the effect of short-distance jumps. As a result, the Theron ships could only jump extremely long distances, or climb slowly at sub-light speeds, rather than jumping into space tens of lightseconds away almost instantaneously, as on the expedition side.
This intra-system jump maneuver of the expedition fleet caused the group of Theron fighters who had just arrived at their original position to swoop into the air, and there was no target for attack at once. But it should be noted that not all battleships ran behind the enemy in the maneuver just now.
Neither the Budapest nor the Songhu, a battleship of the same class named by Shen Chao, jumped to the rear of the enemy, on the contrary. Since the large ships of their class are equipped with large ship emergency shield systems, they will not have the embarrassing situation of being completely unshielded for a few seconds after jumping, so they do not need to jump too far away from the war zone.
In fact, Shen Chao commanded the two warships to jump directly near the core of the formation of the Theron fleet, and at this time, the Budapest was only 400 kilometers away from the nearest Theron battle fortress. As for what they were doing when they jumped so close? The Theron people will soon understand.
Within seconds of the two ships jumping, the Theron group reacted by activating all of their ship's close-in guns and raining fire on them with a large number of missiles loaded with high-yield warheads.
At this point, two Mass Effect Cores are equipped. The Budapest, which also has access to the Guò space-time gate, and the Budapest, which has the energy reserves of the space station zero, has been fully restored. The Songhu has also restored more than half of its shield through the guò emergency shield system. This little bit of firefighting power of the Theron people is like a tickle to them, and it will not pose a threat in a short time.
Under Shen Chao's order, the Songhu immediately started a counterattack with its main and secondary guns fully fired, but the Budapest did not open fire and joined the battle. It's just a constant adjustment of the bow pointing. When their bow finally got aligned with one of the closer battle forts. The shield outside the ship suddenly underwent a strange energy change.
The Budapest's shield first changed from formless and colorless to a blue ball of light that enveloped the ship's hull. Then the brightness of the blue light continued to increase, and soon, the hull shrouded in blue light was difficult to see from the outside. And the blue light that wraps around it also becomes almost completely white.
Subsequently, the plasma engine in the stern of the Budapest suddenly turned up to its maximum. Immediately after a flash of blue light, the Budapest dragged a long trail of dark energy, like a cannonball, straight towards the battle fortress of Theron, which it had been aiming at before.
Almost a second later, the Budapest, surrounded by a strange blue light, crashed into the Theron battleship without any suspense, releasing the equivalent of hundreds of millions of tons of TNT equivalent while the blue light around it was greatly reduced, directly smashing the Theron battle fortress it hit into a large pile of burning debris!
Of course, this is only the physical effect after the impact, in fact, the main structure of the rammed Theron Battle Fortress has been vaporized in the impact, and from the inside, the hull looks as terrifying as if it has been swallowed by stars.
After colliding with the other side, the Budapest's shield also dropped to 30% of its original strength. This is the so-called Charge Tactic, which is essentially the same thing that the Budapest has just done is the same "Ability Charge" used by the Advanced Abilities in the Mass Effect Plane in ground combat.
First of all, the first step is to let your body, in this case, the hull be enveloped by a mass effect field of sufficient strength, and then launch your body/hull and the enveloped mass effect field at a high enough speed in a straight line.
In this way, their body/hull will shoot straight towards the target like a cannonball, but due to the protection of the Mass Effect stance, they will not directly contact the target when their body/hull hits the target, and will not take impact damage.
The Mass Effect Field that had previously wrapped around their body/hull would take all of this damage and release a large amount of energy around it. to achieve the lethal effect of destroying the enemy's shield or directly destroying the opponent's body/hull.
In terms of energy level, the Budapest plays this trick no higher than its main gun's full one-hit energy level, the preparation time is long, and the maximum effective action distance is only about 20,000 kilometers, far less than the range of the main gun's several light seconds.
However, due to the large attack area of this move, the derivative damage area is wide. Therefore, the damage to targets without shield protection is extremely high. The Theron Battle Fortress, which was rammed by the Budapest, undoubtedly absorbed all the energy damage generated by the impact.
From the outside world, it suddenly turned into a large ball of light when it was hit. After the ball of light disappeared, only a small amount of wreckage from the battle fortress that was still fighting a few seconds ago flew out from its original position, and the main structure of the hull completely disappeared.
