393 Fish Dead and Broken Nets (2)
There was also a fighter plane that appeared too close to the wolf flower, and before it could shoot the missile, it was swallowed by the wolf flower with its mouth wide open.
The pilot, who knew that he was unlucky, fought to the end together, shot all the missiles into the belly of the wolf flower, and then started the faster-than-light engine, and successfully escaped from the belly of the wolf flower.
As soon as the fighter plane entered the superluminal state, the missile fired bloomed in the belly of the wolf, and the "implosion" nuclear bomb blew up the back belly of the 10-kilometer-long giant biological warship, leaving only the wide open mouth in front of it to fly away.
This was the first sunken wolf warship in this battle, and it was completely accidental.
The fighter plane that successfully escaped was not much better, the fuselage was eroded by a large amount of corrosive fluid, and it melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the fighter had to abandon the aircraft and eject as soon as it got out of the faster-than-light state, but fortunately the ejection process was not stained with corrosive fluid.
The carrier-based rescue plane of the North was immediately dispatched to the airspace of the crash, but the battle was in full swing, and the wrecked location was close to the theater of operations.
After several rounds of saturation attacks, the expeditionary force destroyed thousands of enemy ships combined, but the loss of such a few small fish was tantamount to a drizzle that did not hurt or itch for the Outer Bone Man, but the sinking of the wolf flower instantly stirred the most sensitive nerves of the Outer Bone Man.
The Bone Mound, which was roaming outside of the fifth planet, immediately sent reinforcements, eight wolf flowers, and an unknown number of large schools of small fish.
Lu Jian's heart tightened, but at this time, there was no room to change the plan, even if one way went to the dark, he had to hold on.
The expeditionary force fought and retreated, trying its best to lure the boat army into pursuit. However, the corrosive fog blocked most of the missiles and weakened the power of the laser, and the enemy's losses plummeted, but Lu Jian could only stare dryly and helplessly.
Exoskeletons are good at melee combat, while humans are good at long-range attacks.
For humans, distance equals advantage! Especially after the speed of the human warship is greatly increased, as long as it is not surrounded by enemy troops, there will be no suspense in the battle - if you can't beat it, you just need to run.
The advantage of speed has made the era of aliens bullying humans forever, and only humans are left to tease the alien fleet to fly kites.
But now the situation is that the main force must attract the enemy. You can't run and you can't fight. Lu Jian reluctantly ordered to stop firing missiles, and dispensably fired a few times of the main cannon to hang the enemy, hoping that the corrosive fog would dissipate as soon as possible.
At this time, the yaw of the main force of the expeditionary force was already very obvious, and the enemy army always followed closely. did not continue to fly to the Kuiper belt. Lu Jian smiled lightly: "It's not in vain. ”
But he soon stopped laughing. The follow-up troops of the Outer Bone Man had no intention of supporting at all, but went straight to the Kuiper Belt!
Lu Jian suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and the main force only had a total of seven warships. It was already difficult to deal with a force of enemy troops, and there was no possibility of dividing the troops at all.
The only battleships that are still idle are two supply ships and the Yuanwang immigration ship, all of which are auxiliary ships that cannot be on the battlefield, and Lu Jian's hair turned gray almost instantly: "Call the main force six, call the main force six!" ”
"I'm the main six, what's the matter, my friend?"
"Can you help me attract a second group of enemy troops and buy us some time?"
"I'm sorry, I can't." The main force six simply refused, "I can't deal with tens of thousands of biological warships at all, and the success rate is less than seven percent, so I refuse to execute." ”
Although the individuals of the mechanical civilization have the ability to think, they are essentially not much different from the artificial intelligence in human science fiction works, and their powerful computing power allows them to calculate the probability of success before executing any plan, and decide whether to execute the plan according to the success chance.
The higher the members of a mechanical civilization, the stronger their ability to think fuzzily, and the closer their way of thinking is to that of natural beings.
Lu Jian almost vomited blood, he never thought that this main force six was still a junior intelligence who only knew how to cut data, and it was far inferior to the guy who was better than a monkey in Pioneer Four.
Where did he know that in the mechanical civilization, all those who can perform tasks alone are generally high-level intelligence, and low-intermediate intelligence lacks thinking ability, does not know how to be flexible, and releases it alone, which will suffer because it is too rigid.
The main force of mechanical civilization,In fact, it is a group of low-level intelligence,There are senior intelligence in the main force,These "main forces" start with the intelligence seems to be beautiful, in fact, they usually only listen to orders, this time it happened to meet the human fleet, and the advanced intelligence did not have time to rush over, so they could only let the main force six for a while.
And this rigid mechanical intelligence cannot be justified unless sufficient strength factors are provided to correct the underlying data used for its calculations...... Just kidding, how easy is it to have the strength to directly crush it, and you still need to play tactics with hard work?
Lu Jian's heart was in a state of confusion, and he said that he was in a hurry, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't think of a way, a group of staff officers in the headquarters usually got together and always argued and foamed at the mouth, but now you look at me and I look at you, all of them are like frosted eggplants.
"Yangtze River, Yellow River, Liuzhou!" Lu Jian, who had nothing to think of, finally made up his mind, "Give up the original plan and immediately implement the plan!" ”
"How?" The three fleets asked in surprise.
"Don't be verbose, carry out the order!"
"Yes!" Again, in unison.
The time is too short, and the three warships together have only completed the transformation of more than forty asteroids, but time waits for no one, and there is no chance to transform more asteroids.
If there is no Exoskeleton, an asteroid can hit the target planet hard, but after being blocked by the Exoskeleton, it is difficult to say whether more than 40 asteroids can fly to the place.
In order to achieve the strongest offensive effect, simply point all the asteroids at the fifth planet.
More than forty asteroids activated their thrusters at the same time, flying out of the Kuiper Belt one after another, and after flying out of the Kuiper Belt, several icy asteroids pulled out faint comet tails.
The slow long-distance communication of the Outer Bone People helped the expeditionary force a lot, and the Outer Bone People didn't know that the human beings liked to drive asteroids as offensive weapons, and the alien fleet that went straight to the Kuiper Belt was suddenly in chaos.
Not only the second group of alien fleets, but even the enemy forces pursuing the main force of the expeditionary force stopped and quickly returned to block the asteroid.
They sent out their fleets to drive out small detachments. It is not the intention of the human beings. Rather, it was because the mechanical appearance of the giant ship was mistakenly betrayed by them as a mechanical civilization, so they instinctively drove out the enemy and blocked the battlefield - the conflict between humans and the Outer Skeletons broke out far less than twenty years ago, and until now, the light of the battle between humans and the Outer Skeletons has not reached here. Therefore, the Outer Bone Great Race doesn't know the Dao Solar System at all, let alone the Dao Earth and human beings!
Their innate aggressiveness makes them suspicious, not to mention that the mechanical civilization has been entangled with the Outer Skeletons for thousands of years, how can they let it go?
Lu Jian is also a typical example of being shot while lying down, if he knew all this, he would have to regret his intestines.
The explosive power of the disposable engine is extremely strong, and the speed of the asteroid is getting faster and faster. When the engine runs out of fuel and is scrapped. The speed is already as high as two thousand kilometers per second.
Gliese 581d, the fifth planet, is only 0.22 AU away from the star, and the asteroid flies through the sky at a speed of 2,000 kilometers per second, taking 16 hours to reach its target. This gave the alien fleet plenty of time to respond.
A large number of basic small fish ships are gathered together. It seems to be ready to fight to the death. After all the small fish withdrew, Lu Jian suddenly realized that the eleven wolf flower ships had not withdrawn together, and instead of retreating, they were advancing. Catch up again.
Not only that, but the wolf ships in the second batch of enemy troops also flew over, which seemed to have the meaning of joining forces.
For this kind of biological warship that uses corrosion to defend, Lu Jian really has no good way, so he can only avoid its sharpness and fight and go. At the same time, he ordered the Liuzhou to join the three battleships left behind, and originally Lu Jian wanted to give up and directly ordered all the battleships to evacuate, but Ye Fei and Bi Qun asked to stay at the same time.
All the threatening ships of the wolf flower chased the main force, leaving only the small fish ship with chicken ribs, trying to block the asteroid? It's not that easy!
Although the two assault ships can't deal with tens of thousands of small fish at all, it's still okay to make trouble.
Ye Fei and Bi Qun each chose an asteroid with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, loaded the remaining engines on it, and patiently waited for the wolf ship to fly away with the main force before driving the asteroid out of the Kuiper belt.
At least dozens of one-time engines were installed on each asteroid, which quickly pushed the asteroid's speed higher, and a portion of the asteroid's single-use engines were reserved for maneuvering.
The two warships crossed the asteroid at high speed, caught up with the first batch of asteroids flying away, kept a following distance after approaching a certain distance, and then reconnected the cannon to shoot a large number of large-caliber low-speed shells like a stream of water, but the low speed is only relatively speaking, the shells hit the asteroid in flight, which indirectly plays a role in accelerating the asteroid and making the asteroid's flight speed to a higher level.
When the team chose a target, it deliberately chose a hard and stony asteroid, and used large-caliber shells, although it crashed some stars after hitting the asteroid, it was absolutely impossible to break a large stone with a diameter of several kilometers.
Not to mention ice asteroids, ice at low temperatures is as strong as steel and harder than stony asteroids.
Although a single shell does not play much role in the acceleration of the asteroid, it can not be a large number, and the same shells are fired one after another, and the shooting distance is extremely close, and each shell can basically accurately hit the same landing point, reducing the volume loss of the asteroid as much as possible.
It would take a few hours to meet the enemy, and the two assault ships had enough time to play slowly, even if the Exoskeleton still used the biological warship to hit the asteroid, and the method of heavy artillery bombardment could correct the direction of flight.
Using a battleship to drive away an asteroid made Ye Fei feel weird, as if the battleship was grazing the asteroid instead of driving it.
The two assault ships were easy, but the situation on Lu Jian's side was getting more and more severe.
Nineteen wolf flowers were not so easy to deal with, and if they were too far away from the chase, they would threaten the safety of the two assault ships, so Lu Jian still ordered the main force to keep the speed unchanged.
However, Lu Jian didn't expect that after the nineteen wolf ships gathered together, they suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, the speed more than doubled, reaching a speed of more than 4,000 kilometers per second!
The distance between the two sides is about half a light second, and the distance of 150,000 kilometers is nothing to the flight speed of 4,000 per second, and some fighter pilots were excited for a while, and more than a dozen fighters guarding the fleet actually directly entered the superluminal state and disappeared!
Fortunately, the expeditionary force's giant ship acceleration ability is also good, and it immediately accelerates to break away, but the expeditionary force that was caught off guard was almost caught up by the enemy - the wolf ship was still far away from the expeditionary force, but the enemy ship suddenly spewed out a piece of corrosive liquid. The corrosive fluid flew halfway through and turned into a gymnasium fog.
The corrosive fog almost covered the fleet, startling everyone with white sweat.
The acceleration of the wolf flower ship is not to close the distance at all, but to increase the speed of the corrosive fog!
No one knows if the enemy army in the road will have a backhand to keep it, in case it happens again...... Who can guarantee that you will be so lucky next time?
Lu Jian was deeply aware that he could not continue to stalemate like this, but the corrosive fog shrouded around the enemy ship was layered one after another, and it had long exceeded the strike ability of the fleet's weapons, and it was really embarrassing to be beaten.
Three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang, Lu Jian simply ordered the whole army to collect available methods. Anyone who makes a reasonably usable proposal. Even if it's a great achievement.
Who doesn't love military exploits? The warriors immediately got into the horns of the bull and pondered, but very few of them actually came up with a solution, and they didn't meet the requirements at all.
Lu Jian couldn't help but sigh, how good it would be if he left an assault ship by his side. A light-speed torpedo was thrown over. Everything that stood in the way was smashed and not negotiated......
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved. Without light-speed torpedoes, wouldn't there still be light-speed fighters? But he was a little hesitant, the size and quality of the fighter were not up to par. Even if you enter the faster-than-light state, the possibility of crashing into an enemy ship is extremely small.
At the moment when Lu Jian was in a dilemma, Wu Ting took the initiative to send a communication, and he and Lu Jian thought together, but instead of using a fighter plane to hit the enemy ship, he used the speed of light to jump through the blockade of the corrosive fog, just like those pilots and young men did not long ago, like a sharp dagger straight into the enemy's heart.
The risk of smashing Huanglong is not small, but it is much more reliable than the method of hitting the enemy ship, and Lu Jian immediately agreed to this plan.
Ninety-nine modified fighters regrouped and entered a state of faster-than-light flight. Soon after, a formation divided into three waves appeared behind the enemy's flank, and the first wave of attack aircraft disappeared again in an instant.
It doesn't seem to even take a second. Thirty-three fighters reappeared in the enemy formation, and in an instant, the light was great, and the fighters threw all the weapons that could be used on the wolf flower ship, and even the tactical nuclear weapons had more than a dozen, but the wolf flower ship was surprisingly strong, and the four wolf flower ships that were injured by the close explosion of the tactical nuclear bomb were about a kilometer of skin intensification, and they actually just opened their four-petal giant mouth and roared silently a few times, and the slender tongue rolled unceremoniously around the fighters, which seemed not to be even injured.
The frightened pilots immediately broke away, but it was not only the four damaged ships that opened their mouths to bite indiscriminately, but the seventeen fighters could not dodge and were caught in the huge mouth of the enemy ship by their long tongues.
The sixty-four-meter-long heavy fighter was simply not enough to stuff the teeth in front of the three-kilometer-long giant mouth.
Although the pilots reacted extremely quickly and started the faster-than-light engine at the first time, the enemy had already lost a wolf flower because of devouring the fighters, how could they make the same mistake again?
The long tongue entangled the fighter opportunity, and even before he could close the giant mouth, the dozens of tongues of the wolf flower ship wrapped the fighter three layers inside and three layers outside...... The slenderness is only for the wolf flower ship itself, in fact, each tongue is more than ten meters thick, the surface is covered with rough scales and keratinized flesh thorns, and the tongue tightly wrapped around the fighter is instantly tightened, and only three of the seventeen fighters have superluminal engines that start in time, and the remaining fourteen are all cut off by the giant tongue, and the fighters and pilots disappear together in the belly of the wolf flower ship.
There is still a possibility of survival in a wrecked in the universe, but if you are lost in the belly of an enemy ship, the possibility of survival is infinitely close to zero.
When the two fighters that escaped ascension reappeared, the fuselage was already badly damaged, and they had to stay where they were and wait for rescue.
Entangled by a giant tongue more than ten meters thick, unless you experience it yourself, the terrifying feeling is hard to imagine, even if the pilot with outstanding psychological quality is a little unrelenting.
Sixteen fighters were lost in one shot, nearly half of the fighters in the first wave of attack were lost, and the second wave of fighters was stopped by Wu Ting just as they were about to set off.
If this continues, the most elite aviation division will have to be disabled.
Wu Ting asked the remaining two waves of fighters to keep their current positions unchanged, and after briefly explaining his intentions to Lu Jian, who was questioning, he contacted the rescue team as soon as possible.
The rescue team had already found the pilot who had shot down the Wolf Flower ship, and Wu Ting immediately asked to speak directly with the pilot and ask him how he could kill the enemy ship.
Wu Ting undoubtedly got the desired result, but he hesitated.
The way is a good way, but who will be sent to the task of nine deaths and one life?
At this moment, Wu Ting is extremely nostalgic for the plan of the unmanned fighter that was vetoed by the headquarters of the Heavenly Army - how good would it be if the North was equipped with a division of remote-controlled drones?
He urgently contacted Lu Jian, and the two discussed back and forth, but they didn't discuss why.
The direct consequence of this incident was that for the second time after the war, the two jointly proposed to the headquarters of the Celestial Army to resume the remote-controlled drone plan.
The reason why the headquarters of the Space Force vetoed the UAV plan is that as the distance increases, the remotely controlled radio waves will produce a long delay, and there is no significance in equipping them at all.
Now with the resonance communication device, no matter how long the distance is, it is not a problem.
The last Lu Jian made a decision: give up the plan of the fighter to break the enemy...... Ci is not in charge of the army and is not in business, but he just can't stand by and watch his pilots die and be indifferent.
High-risk missions and death are not the same thing after all.
But once abandoned, the confidence that the First Fleet had built in the Battle of Proxima Centauri would be gone, and the blow of defeat would be more terrible than death.
And until now, the fleet has not been able to meet the wolf flower face-to-face, Lu Jian held a breath in his heart: Could it be that steel can't defeat flesh and blood?
"Attention all!" Lu Jian clenched his teeth, "I need one capital ship and two destroyers, is anyone volunteering?" (To be continued......)
