Chapter 45: The Shell Ship

If you talk about the combat effectiveness of a single spaceship, under the same tonnage, Xiao Yu's spaceship can't beat the other party. However, under Xiao Yu's super control, with excellent team cooperation, the gap in this area has been greatly narrowed, resulting in the opponent's dominant firepower, and with the help of primary energy weapons, in the war with Xiao Yu, it was only a miserable victory.

In fact, even the laser cannon belongs to the scope of energy weapons in a broad sense, but the opponent's energy weapon has surpassed the laser cannon and belongs to the energy weapon in the real sense.

As we all know, photons do not have a resting mass, so it can reach the speed of light, but at the same time, because it has no resting mass, its lethality is severely limited.

The laser cannon only relies on high-temperature burning as a means of killing, and it is only suitable for precision strikes, not for facing large-volume targets.

According to Xiao Yu's speculation, the energy weapon of this alien civilization is not a pure energy beam similar to a laser, but a special material, with a very small mass of this kind of substance, carrying a large amount of unstable energy, because its mass is extremely small, so it can be accelerated to a speed of up to 90,000 kilometers per second, and because of the large amount of energy carried on it, it also has a strong lethality while having high speed.

In the current war situation, this kind of energy weapon is undoubtedly the most suitable and perfect. Kinetic weapons, laser weapons and even nuclear bombs can barely resist with solid armor, and as for energy weapons, before the development of protective shield technology, it is not even necessary to think about defense.

Judging from the fact that only the largest flagship is equipped with energy weapons, Xiao Yu can be sure that this kind of weapon, this alien civilization is only in the preliminary stage of research, otherwise, they would have loaded all the spaceships with this kind of weapon, and to that point, Xiao Yu has no other way than to obediently wait for death.

The powerful lethality of the initial energy weapon made Xiao Yu make up his mind to kill the opponent's flagship. Even in order to snipe the opponent's flagship, Xiao Yu could pay the price of a county-level spaceship.

"With my strength at a disadvantage, how can I snipe the opponent's flagship that is heavily protected?" Xiao Yu began to think about this problem and began to manipulate the central computer to make a large number of calculations.

"The only feasible way is to concentrate the superior firepower in the area and strike with all its might to annihilate it. However, how to create a superior firepower in the area when the overall firepower is at a disadvantage? Hey, what a distress. Xiao Yu sighed and deduced.

Three days later.

"Perhaps, this method can be tried." Xiao Yu thought about it and began to make intense preparations.

It took Xiao Yu ten days to repair the damaged spaceship, and during this time, Xiao Yu carried out another job in addition to repairing the battleship.

That is to make a lot of empty shell ships. The so-called empty shell ship is a spaceship with only one shell, a simple computing module, and a simple power module. This kind of spaceship has no other functions except that it looks exactly like a village-level spaceship, has no attack power, does not carry any ammunition, has extremely weak defense, and can even penetrate it with just one bullet.

Xiao Yu has built more than 100 of this kind of shell spaceships. Because it is only a shell, the raw materials consumed by this spaceship are very limited. In fact, if it weren't for the volume, no matter how much it was, it wouldn't fit it, and Xiao Yu even wanted to build a thousand of them.

After all the preparations were completed, Xiao Yu loaded all these shell spaceships into the Yuanhang, led the fleet, and flew towards the alien planet again.

"It's time for a second fight." Xiao Yu thought, "Sniper flagship Jihua, it's time to unfold." ”

Xiao Yu's actions received an immediate response, and hundreds of spaceships took off from the outer planet or from the dock in the planet's synchronous orbit and killed Xiao Yu.

When they were hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the other party, the flagship Sun, and the Yuantu, which was loaded with a large number of shell spaceships, stopped as the rear with 170 village-level and township-level spaceships, and the remaining more than 400 spaceships were all thrown into the battlefield by Xiao Yu.

The other party invested more than 260 spaceships, including the largest flagship, and a battleship equivalent to Xiao Yu's county-level spaceship, and the remaining one, Xiao Yu estimated that he stayed on the planet to defend.

This phenomenon made Xiao Yu a little worried. But Jihua has gone so far that it is impossible to give up anymore.

is still the old routine, Xiao Yu has launched giant flash bombs, high-speed bullets, miniature missiles, and microsatellites, and purchased a net in the battlefield.

However, this time the other party seemed to have experience, and the torrent of bullets and miniature missiles did not cause much damage to the other party, and a total of twenty of their spaceships were destroyed by Xiao Yu. And Xiao Yu's side, in the first wave of confrontation, lost six village-level spaceships.

The two sides quickly fell into a struggle, and violent firelight erupted in space from time to time, each spark representing the complete destruction of a spaceship.

On Xiao Yu's side, the largest spaceship is the Tianyuan. The other party is a flagship equipped with a preliminary energy weapon. In comparison, the Tianyuan and the other flagship, both in terms of volume, tonnage and firepower, are a notch lower.

The opponent's flagship is majestic in the battlefield, and almost every cannon of the energy cannon can kill Xiao Yu's village-level spaceship, but fortunately, each cannon requires a long preparation time, so that Xiao Yu's fleet will not retreat.

Xiao Yu watched all this silently, silently calculating the time.

"Almost, sniper flagship Jihua, let's get started."

Xiao Yu gave the order to set off.

Immediately, more than 100 spaceships were separated from the escort spaceships, led by the Yuanhang, to form a formation and began to move in another direction.

This direction is the direction of the alien planet.

That's right, a trick from the ancient Chinese art of war, encircling Wei to save Zhao.

After separating a part of the spaceships to attack the opponent's planet, Xiao Yu's escort spaceships were only about fifty left, and if the other party launched a surprise attack at this time, as long as there was another county-level spaceship, plus a hundred small spaceships, there was an eighty percent chance that Xiao Yu would be destroyed.

However, since Xiao Yu dared to take such a risk, he naturally had his own reasons. The thousands of microsatellites scattered in space can provide Xiao Yu with sufficient warning time, and if there is a real accident, Xiao Yu can naturally deal with it.

Xiao Yu knew that his actions must be closely monitored by the other party. But this is what Xiao Yu wants, if the other party ignores Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu's jihua will have no way to proceed.

This planet is about five million kilometers away from Xiao Yu. Based on the ship's mobility, it can reach its destination in about three hours. And at this distance, the communication delay between Xiao Yu and these spaceships will also reach a terrifying ten seconds. In other words, these ships, even if they reach their destination, are basically ineffective. The communication delay is too long, and these ships will be easily taken down.

However, Xiao Yu's original intention was not here, so he naturally didn't care if these spaceships had attack power.

Xiao Yu made an estimate, that is, about the space combat power of the enemy civilization.

First of all, at the beginning, the other party refused to choose space warfare, but relied on the planet to fight with Xiao Yu.

Secondly, when Xiao Yu forced the other party to engage in space warfare, the number of spaceships they sent was more than five hundred. When the battle with Xiao Yu entered a stalemate, they did not send new reinforcements.

What does this mean?

Xiao Yu believes that these more than 500 spaceships are likely to be most of the opponent's space combat power, or even as high as 890 percent.

In other words, there may be less than a hundred warships left on the opposing planet, and when facing Xiao Yu's fleet, they will only be able to rely on these less than a hundred spaceships and orbital weapons to meet them.

But don't forget, this battlefield will be low earth orbit, Xiao Yu also has nuclear bombs, and Xiao Yu has prepared some special gifts for them......

The so-called attack on the enemy must be saved, and after Xiao Yu came up with the surprise prepared for them, Xiao Yu was sure that the other party would draw Liliang from the frontal battlefield and go back for reinforcements.

And how much liliang will be taken away? Xiao Yu did a lot of calculations, thinking that the other party would take away the spaceship equivalent to the county level, as well as some small spaceships, and its flagship-level spaceship would stay here. Because only in this way can they continue to ensure the superiority of the frontal battlefield, and at the same time, there will be enough liliang to face Xiao Yu's assault fleet.

This is the most reasonable and safest tactic, and there is no reason why they should not choose this option.

"Hopefully, everything is as I reasoned." Xiao Yu thought silently, nervously watching the other party's movements.

In the face of this starship formation heading straight for the opposing planet, in the frontal battlefield, the enemy spaceship did not react.

More than an hour had passed, and in the frontal battle, the battle was at a fever pitch.

"Well, the other party must have thought that the county-level spaceship left behind on the planet and the various weapons arranged in orbit would be enough to stop my fleet...... In that case, I'll surprise you. ”

Xiao Yu gave an order. With this order given, immediately, the hatch of the Yuanhang opened, and one after another village-level spaceships flew out! That's a hundred!

They are empty shells, they do not have any combat effectiveness, but ...... The enemy does not know!

Xiao Yu wanted to know how they would feel when they found that they suddenly had more than a hundred spaceships, and the total strength of the fleet had reached two hundred.

According to Xiao Yu's strength in the past, more than two hundred spaceships are enough to suppress more than one hundred alien spaceships, after all, there is no flagship here, and there is no energy cannon here. This is their base camp again, so it should be inevitable to return to help!

Xiao Yu noticed that in the frontal battlefield, there were successive mistakes by enemy spaceships, and Xiao Yu took the opportunity to kill five spaceships.

"Shocking, right? Can't figure it out, right? Then hurry back, fools! Xiao Yu yelled out of hatred.
