913 Cannon Shooting (2)

The laser can't penetrate the smoke zone, but the physical cannonballs fired by the gravity cannon are no problem, and at the sound of an order, one hundred and twenty gravity guns of sixty battleships fire at the same time, and the gravity guns fired at full power, each cannon will be discharged, and the battleship will fall back slightly.

The mass of the shells is so small that it is completely incomparable to that of a battleship, but the speed of the shell is too fast, exceeding the ultra-high speed of 150,000 kilometers per second, even if it is a huge battleship as the God of War, there will be a small slight recoil.

The continuous high-speed firing made the discharged shells almost in a string, but the speed at which the shells were discharged was too fast, and although the interval between the two adjacent shells was extremely short, the distance between them was tens of thousands of kilometers.

At a distance of eight light seconds, even light has to fly for eight seconds, and a cannonball with a speed of barely half a beam takes sixteen seconds to hit the target, and if it weren't for the Atlantis fleet flying towards the advancing fleet, it is difficult to say whether these shells can catch up with the high-speed flying Atlantis battleships.

At such a long distance, the reconnaissance ship must not only accurately locate the enemy ship for the main force, but also calculate the advance amount according to the speed of the shells, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to hit the target.

Sixteen seconds later, the first wave of shells made contact with the Atlantean fleet, and several of the force field ships hit by the shells were unscathed, but the battleship Lotus was shattered by the shells with its armor shattered.

Although the mass of the shell was relatively small, it failed to penetrate the armor, and only damaged the surface of the armor, the effect of the high-speed impact was no less than that of an asteroid hitting the earth, and the position of the Atlantis battleship was deeply dented, as if it had been smashed by an invisible sledgehammer.

A battleship of Lotus Peng was hit by shells in the front. Half of the beam cannon array in the bow was cut off at the waist.

However, most of the shells failed to hit the target, after all, the size of the shell was too small, even if it was aimed accurately in advance, after flying a long distance of eight light seconds, the slightest difference in the discharge would cause the shell to deviate from the target, and the Atlantis battleship was constantly moving, and the shells that could finally hit the target were only one-tenth at most!

Originally, the hit rate should not have reached such a high level, but the Atlantean fleet was slowed down by the fluorescent anomaly of the smoke. Indirectly increases the hit rate of the first wave of human shells!

The shelling from the advancing fleet has just ended. A swarm of glowing shells flew in and a second round of shelling began.

These glowing shells came from the support fleet.

The shells of the advancing fleet flew towards the enemy troops through the gaps in the light shields, and the shells of the two support fleets simply fired directly into the danger zone.

Shells that flew into the danger zone were heated for unknown reasons. It soon turned red-hot. But it was not melted into a liquid state by high temperatures. Instead, it continued to develop into an incandescent state, continuing to fly like a swarm of oversized incannons until it flew out of the danger zone and hit the target. It remains incandescent.

There is a lack of medium in the universe to take away heat, so the temperature of hot objects is lost very slowly, and even if a person enters the vacuum without protection, it will not freeze immediately.

The reason why this situation occurred was not that Ye Fei figured out the temperature of the danger zone, nor was it any other special reason, it was simply because the gravity cannon of the support fleet used shells made of super alloy.

The performance of super alloys does exceed that of most alloys and elemental metals, but the research department found that the properties of the metal materials obtained after directly smelting these metal blocks will be greatly reduced in all aspects, and there is no use value at all.

There are only two main uses for special alloys, one is to make warships, and the other is to make weapons.

Super alloys that cannot be re-smelted will certainly not be used on warships for a period of time, and there is not much use in terms of weapons, only the easiest way to make shells that do not need to be smelted is to cut them directly into the required size and shape.

Unexpectedly, shells made of super alloys, after being heated in the danger zone, would actually fly towards the enemy ship in an incandescent state.

The Atlanteans didn't know what these things were, and they were startled at first, but when these shells hit the battleship, they found that the power was much smaller than just now, and even only left a little dent on the surface of the battleship - the temperature of the cannonballs in the incandescent state was too high, and the ductility was very good, but the strength was insufficient, and the power of the impact was naturally affected to a certain extent, but the damage was not as small as the Atlanteans thought, because the red-hot cannonballs in high-speed impact were similar to the metal jets of armor-piercing shells, It's all straight into the armor.

It's just that due to the extremely high thickness of the armor of the Atlantis battleship, this kind of collision is not enough to penetrate the armor layer, so it just looks as if it is very powerful, but in fact it is not the case at all.

The artillery shells on the human side flew towards the Atlanteans one after another, and although few hit the target, many Atlantean warships were destroyed despite the large number of shells.

The Atlanteans, who had been violently attacked, did not show weakness, and immediately fought back in the direction from which the shells came.

They could not see the advancing fleet behind the smoke, but the shells in an incandescent state revealed the position of the supporting fleet.

The danger zone, which only intercepted the real thing but did not hinder the decomposition beam, did not become a protective umbrella for the support fleet, but became an Atlantis pointer, and for a time a large number of decomposition beams were concentrated in the direction of the four groups of warships, but the advancing fleet acted as the main force, and it did not attract any enemy firepower like no one.

Fortunately, the position of the support fleet was a little further back than the advance fleet, although it was taken care of by the Atlanteans, but it did not cause relatively large losses, but the shells flying halfway were basically all finished in the decomposition beam, and the armor on the surface of the battleship was also peeled off layer by layer, and even the optical system lens in front of it failed.

Fortunately, the battleship was indirectly aimed by the Guò reconnaissance ship, so the failure of the optical system did not affect the battle.

The situation was fed back to the Kunlun, and Ye Fei immediately ordered the four groups of warships to take the advancing fleet as the center of the circle, maintain a relatively fixed distance and maneuver at variable speeds, and avoid the enemy's counterattack as much as possible.

At the same time, the advancing fleet increased the speed of the artillery bombardment, hoping to attract some enemy firepower, but because of the glow of the smoke when it was illuminated by the decomposition beam, the Atlanteans were reluctant to shoot into the smoke, and even if it was difficult to aim at the moving enemy ships, they still insisted on shooting at the support fleet.

The disintegration beam has spread so much that the support fleet must maintain enough speed to avoid enemy fire, but it is too fast and will crash headlong into the disintegration beam drawn by friendly forces, which is simply an unsolvable problem. (To be continued......)
