884 Battle of wits and courage
Don't look at the advance fleet on all sides of the brilliant results, but it is taboo to go deep alone, the fleet does not dare to stay in any galaxy for long, every time it reaches the target, it immediately launches a light-speed torpedo, and then leaves behind an artificial satellite disguised as an asteroid, and then immediately withdraws.
Over time, the Atlanteans gradually summed up some patterns and secretly set traps.
The Saturnalia was the first to be surrounded by the Atlanteans, and although they fought desperately, they were outnumbered, and finally the battleship was unable to resist, and the main body crashed into the enemy ship at the speed of light, followed by the sub-ships.
In the end, only two reconnaissance ships and one assault ship of the Saturnalia managed to escape, and there was not one person on board.
The incident happened suddenly, and the Saturnalia didn't even have time to report the situation to the Ares of War, and the detailed process was sent to the flagship by the assault ship that managed to escape with great difficulty.
Ye Fei, who received the news, didn't have time to respond, and the Vesta was also rounded up by a large number of enemy ships, and except for the two reconnaissance ships that did not dock with the main ship, no one escaped.
The continuous losses suddenly alerted Ye Fei and immediately ordered the fleet to suspend operations.
According to the analysis of the situation of the two sieges, it is likely that the Atlanteans used some kind of human or clear detection means, and the two warships Saturnalia and the Vesta were probably because they stayed too long to give the Atlanteans enough time.
Ye Fei felt that the Atlanteans were likely to use a large-scale monitoring method of spatial fluctuations, determining the location of their own warships from the direction of spatial fluctuations, and then immediately mobilizing nearby fleets to encircle them.
The reason for this is that when the fleet entered the territory of Atlantis, no enemy could detect the attack. Inventing a detection method in less than a month is obviously a bit outrageous.
He immediately ordered the ships not to stay in the follow-up operations, and to leave as soon as they were finished.
Although the range of the light-speed torpedo is much longer than that of the crystal missile, it cannot fly indefinitely, and the farthest range is about thirty astronomical units, which is equivalent to the average distance between the sun and Neptune.
If it is a galaxy dominated by red dwarfs, the battleship does not need to enter the galaxy at all to complete the mission from a distance, but if the range of the galaxy is the same size as the solar system, the battleship must enter the outer part of the galaxy.
The technological level of the Atlanteans is much stronger than that of humans, and even humans have laid a long-range warning system in the solar system that far exceeds the orbit of Neptune. Could the Atlanteans not be able to do it?
Ye Fei, who lacked enemy intelligence, didn't know. At this time, the fleet of the Atlanteans had been basically adjusted in place, and in order to ambush the advancing fleet, a large number of warships were gathered near each prosperous Atlantean planet, as little as three or five thousand. More than tens of thousands.
As for the remote barren planets, they give up altogether. Not a single soldier guarded. No matter how much the fleet tosses forward, no one cares.
From this day on, the forward fleet's long-range attack tactics began to fail, even if the light-speed torpedo was fired immediately after detaching from the speed of light. It is also possible that the Atlantean fleet was found nearby - after the Saturnalia and the Vesta, the Pluto was surrounded by the Atlanteans for the third time, and only two supremacy fireships escaped.
Just when Ye Fei was considering whether to terminate the mission and return home, the Luna proposed a new attack tactic, that is, approaching the attack!
No matter how many Atlanteans there were, it was impossible to fill an entire galaxy, and they also had to guard multiple galaxies at the same time, since they could always encounter enemy ships at a distance of about thirty astronomical units from the target, what about a closer position?
The new plan was somewhat risky, and the Luna took the initiative to take on the task of experimenting. After selecting the target, the Luna entered the galaxy at full speed, flew directly to the position of only 16 light-seconds away from the target, used six seconds to complete the launch mission, and flew away at full speed as soon as it was connected.
Skipping those six seconds of short pause, it was almost like a high-speed pass.
It's not that the Atlanteans didn't find the trace of the Luna, but their warship was dozens of astronomical units away from the planet, and it was too late to rush back, which left a chance for the Luna.
The success of the Luna reminded Ye Fei that regular attacks would inevitably lead the Atlanteans to find patterns, so he no longer asked what tactics each ship had to use to complete the mission, but left the choice to the captains of each ship.
This can be regarded as untying, and the ships are scrambling to come up with all kinds of tricks.
Following the approach attack method of the Luna, the Thor created the method of maneuvering at the speed of light.
This method is in the same vein as the approach attack method, that is, after entering the galaxy, slow down, perform two or three course changes in a faster-than-light state, jump out of the ecliptic plane of the galaxy after getting close to the target, stop anywhere, fire a torpedo at the speed of light, and leave immediately.
The Firegod invented the camouflage approach method.
The most important step when firing a light-speed torpedo is to enter the number of targets, which is usually done by the main body of the battleship, but the Fire God has made some improvements to the camouflage reconnaissance ship, giving the reconnaissance ship the ability to enter the number jù.
When attacking, the beam torpedo is disguised as an asteroid, and the light-speed torpedo is released away from the enemy's ambush range, causing the light-speed torpedo to fly towards the target in a conventional manner.
The main ship then waited patiently away from the galaxy, and the reconnaissance ship followed the beam torpedo until the target came into range, and the reconnaissance ship entered the number jù to activate the launch system.
Even if the Atlanteans discovered the reconnaissance ship, it would be difficult to find the camouflaged light-speed torpedo.
It is said that the original idea of the Fire God was to program the light-speed torpedo and let the light-speed torpedo fly into the range to fight on its own, but although the idea was good, it was difficult to do it with the technical strength of the advancing fleet, and in the end it had to retreat.
Inspired by the Flame God, the Poseidon came up with a more advanced remote control method -- this method will not transform the reconnaissance ship, but start with a long-range satellite, and the satellite with the ability to input a few jù and the light-speed torpedo are camouflaged and then bundled and launched, and when they reach a suitable distance, the main ship will send the number jù to the satellite, and the satellite will then forward it to the light-speed torpedo.
After dropping satellites and light-speed torpedoes on the periphery of the system, the battleship can leave immediately and send the command to ignite a few days later.
Sanshen adopted the vertical strike method of attacking directly from outside the plane of the ecliptic - although this method is relatively safe, the location of the hit is basically the poles of the planet, and the damage to the planet is relatively low.
Even the Ares has come up with an energy expansion method - although the light-speed torpedo is large, it is not equipped with a fusion engine, and the torpedo engine works entirely on the power provided by high-energy batteries. (To be continued......)
