Chapter 186: War
As we all know, the planets of the Sun Star can be described as neat, symdirectional, coplanar, and near-circular.
The trajectory of the G-Star Grand Fleet proves that they did not intend to enter the solar system from the ecliptic plane.
This is a sign of great confidence. Because if you enter from the ecliptic plane, the Kuiper Belt, planets, and asteroid belts may become bunkers, although they have a certain impact on the fleet's advancement, but they are also very safe and can bring more security.
And now with a large angle, it becomes unobstructed.
When the G-star fleet entered the strike range of the three fleets of the First Order, its approximate location was already between Uranus and Neptune, and it was confirmed that it was undoubtedly within the solar system.
Zhao Wenrui thought about it and felt that there were no tricks to play now, so it was better to start testing ** Feng simply and straightforwardly.
"I order, authorize the First Fleet, to begin Plan A. ”
With the order given, the 60 capital ships of the First Fleet began to adjust the firing angles.
The G-Stars' Grand Fleet as a whole looks like a super jujube pit made up of giant cones.
Each cone represents a fleet of open-way ships.
Theoretically, a longitudinal strike from the tip of the jujube core can have the greatest probability of injuring the most ships, if there is really a strong enough penetration rate of artillery fire.
And now it's a longitudinal oblique side attack, which is not optimal, but it's okay.
4 x60 ships, 240 neutron beam cannons fired. The effect looks quite ordinary. Perhaps this has something to do with the lack of medium to transmit sound in space.
Without sound, no matter how good the show is, it can't come out. This is the advertising slogan of a certain throat pill, and it also applies here. Anyway, for most people, the importance of sound is undeniable, and without sound, the movie will look much duller.
Like now, to put it bluntly, 240 long beams of light are sprayed out, and in this vast space, such a landscape is a little farther away, and it will feel really nothing.
In many movies, space voyages are accompanied by bright starlight all the way, and even nebulae or something fly by, and the meteorite belts are also one by one, densely packed.
In fact, there are basically none of these in space, and although the meteorites may not be small, they are generally far away from each other, at least invisible to the naked eye. The passing of the nebula or something is even more like a dream, which means that the space span is too far away, and the speed of light is not so fast.
Most of the time, it feels like being soaked in pitch black water, except for some features of the ship itself, there is basically no sense of movement, and even the characteristics of the ship itself will quickly become familiar and numb, and then there will be no sense of movement. It's like being in the mud now, stopping in the abyss, until I can't bear it anymore and feel annoyed, but it's still that effect, people don't look out the window, they will be bored, they will be afraid, they will be afraid of the huge space.
Just thinking about that scale, I feel scared. Not to mention what will happen if you are thrown out, the ship will feel unacceptable if it really stops, it has sailed for too long, and the other side is still too far, how can you live if you stop in this damn place?
So the overall feeling of space travel is boredom to madness and emptiness to panic.
This is how the pioneers of the universe have survived, so many of them have some degree of psychosis, similar to PTSD, but the symptoms are different.
Zhao Wenrui has seen this kind of person on the edge planet of the SC universe, often the grandparents of a certain family, who are getting older, and the symptoms are serious, and they look very scary and pitiful.
It was a time when leap technology was generally available, and it was only worse when you think about the early days of cosmic colonization. Therefore, the pioneers sound very stylish, and some will achieve the cosmic version of the western development of the lighthouse country and get rich by discovering gold mines, but in fact they are really cannon fodder.
The ships of the First Fleet are relatively invisible, but the neutron beam cannot.
So not long after the shot, the G-star human fleet found out. Then the alarm sounded.
Crazy calculations of sailing orbits, and circumventions.
But it's actually a bit too late. The speed of the neutron beam is infinitely close to the speed of light, nearly 300,000 kilometers per second, and 1AU divided by 300,000 is 498.8, and the neutron beam has to travel almost 500 seconds to cover this distance.
Since the strike was within 1AU of the attack, the G-Star Fleet had a maximum of 7 minutes to dodge.
It sounds like there is plenty of time, but in fact it is completely insufficient, especially since the speed of curvature navigation is very fast, and it is impossible to avoid it in this state, and it is necessary to end the curvature navigation first, and then talk about changing orbit.
And this kind of track change is obviously much more difficult than a car with a speed of 300 miles per hour to reduce its speed to zero in 5 seconds, hard braking is almost equivalent to hitting a wall, and it is basically impossible for the starship to have such a good reverse thrust.
Even the current ultra-high speed is only raised by spraying and accelerating again and again, so it can be seen that even if you have the ability to turn your ass over and push it backwards now, you can't stop it for a while.
So after all the calculations, not discovering the enemy ship a certain time in advance and predicting its strike trajectory means losing in itself, and there is too little and too little that can be done now.
And this kind of shooting and evasion itself also represents a competition between the computing equipment of the two sides, both of which are calculating the amount of advance, including the estimation of the possible reaction of the other side, and the amount of logical operation is very large, and finally the trajectory of the shelling is formulated, or the possibility of evasion, and then it depends on the result.
As a result, the limited evasion on the side of the G-star human fleet is basically useless.
Due to the lack of energy shields to compete with the powerful neutron beam cannons, the powerful neutron beam cannon was able to transmit all the way unimpeded, shooting holes in the ships of many fleets.
To say that these holes are nothing compared to the size of the ship, not even the proportion of half a key on a keyboard, just a few holes, for the overall construction, it seems to be nothing.
But in fact, such damage is already very fatal, not to mention the damage to the internal equipment, the impact on the overall structure of the ship alone is far-reaching.
The main problem lies in the basic situation inside the ship and the high speed.
In order to facilitate the movement of life in the ship, there is pressure and gas, and the structure is often like the gall of a thermos cup, or a submarine, there is a compartment or something, which is more complicated, although in spite of this, not all parts can be in the first time to have the safety gate fall to fill the hole, which leads to leakage and internal decompression.
Even the continuous spewing of air, for the hull in the high-speed driving state, is like a professional speed brake, forming continuous resistance, and then contributing to a tearing effect on the hull.
In short, with the appearance of transparent cavities, the hull structure becomes stronger and more stable, and the high speed further worsens this problem, and the worst result is that the luck is not very good, several coincidental stacks, such as some parts are killed, and the transmission just hurts the keel, so the multiple deteriorates in a very short time, exceeding the ship's bearing threshold, and the ship directly disintegrates in the air.
In this round of shooting of the First Fleet, it caused the volley disintegration of several ships of the G-star, which is a matter of probability, and the G-starman ships are indeed a bit much.
That's it, a 10-kilometer march of 10,000 people has a high probability of having a few stumbles, not to mention 20,000 warships.
Volley disintegration is the most intuitive, close up also the disaster effect is also very good, in a very short time into a pile of fireworks in a large size of the debris, because it is space, the smoke will not be too much, the fire is also relatively convergent, mainly fragments, inertia allows them to continue to move forward, it looks like a wave of meteor showers, but also has to have an angle, without the sun's rays as a backing, their own fireworks once passed, they basically became dark and could not see anything.
Although these large and small fragments are not slow in flight, they are too slow for the ships behind. Then the next question is similar to an airplane hitting a bird in flight.
It's still damn speed, those explosive fragments, in the process of flying, are also quickly dispersed, for the ships behind, it's a flock of birds, not a bird, and it's still a mixed flock of birds, there are sparrows, geese and swans, and if you're lucky, you can hit a horse.
This kind of impact is very similar to a live strike, and even has a higher relative kinetic energy, and it is difficult for people who have only seen the penetration effect of a bullet to imagine how powerful that high-speed live fire strike can be.
And the ships of the G star people basically can't withstand the baptism of this kind of meteor shower-like high-speed live ammunition.
Therefore, if a ship happens to be within the scope of the fragments of the disintegrated ship in front, it is often worse than being hit by a neutron beam cannon directly, and the worst is as if a rock is being fired wildly in the air by a high-velocity cannon and disintegrates.
Under the impact of the rainstorm, it also turned into more fragments like glass products.
As for the G-stars inside, they are relatively small, and unless they are specially captured with an ultra-high-speed camera, it is almost impossible to see their encounter and ending at that moment.
In fact, in this kind of big scene, the death of a G star is like a host smashing a few ants and small flying insects in the process of smashing, ordinary people can't even confirm whether they were stoned to death, even if they squirt out all the blood in an instant, relatively speaking, it is just a small needle tip and a big stain, where can I pay attention?
Therefore, the big ship is finished, unless it is to concentrate on capturing, there are no delicate casualties shots, and the eyes are full of all kinds of fragments and short-lived gorgeous firelight.
The glass fleet, after a round of blows, was injured and destroyed by fragments, far more than directly damaged.
However, Zhao Wenrui did not call a stop, and the First Fleet would directly enter the next round of strikes.
After some urgent calculations and deductions, the capital ships of the First Fleet fired two rounds of strikes in succession. Then the whole fleet began to transfer. Similar to the transfer of positions by an artillery group after a period of heavy blows.
And the G-star human fleet is basically in a state of helplessness.
Although I am trying my best, if I want to have a good evasion ability, it still takes a lot of time, at least half an hour.
Now they hate the messages from the Scout Fleet. Because of that information, they are misled. None of them believe that humans have the ability to interdict beyond the Earth's sphere. At most, after the fleet enters the gravitational circle, the launch point long-range missiles.
This range alone made the G-star people extremely despised, as if they were carrying Barrett and their opponents only had small pistols. The small pistol is basically visible from 50 meters away, and it has no power, but Barrett can still kill people from more than 1,000 meters away.
Therefore, the G star people feel that they have the initiative completely, and when the time comes, it will be easy to fight, and after a few waves from afar, the combat capability of mankind will basically collapse. If it weren't for the serious damage to the planet's environment, which would cause the value of occupation to plummet, they would have even more hatred, and they could make only a few human beings after a few rounds.
With this in mind, it can now be said that I was caught off guard.
When AWACS devices reported the distance of a wave strike suspected of being a cluster energy attack, they all assumed that they had heard poorly. To believe that a blow at such a distance was done by a human is to suddenly find yourself with a small pistol and an opponent with Barrett.
It's not as simple as sarcasm, it's a matter of fate.
It's a pity that the second and third rounds of strikes have been confirmed again and again, this is the enemy, this is a man-made long-range strike, just like the super battleship chapter, human scientists can see that the scout fleet of the G star people broke into the atmosphere in a queue, although the strike of the first fleet does not seem to be the kind of unconventional, a rough bundle of similar distances from each other, but the artificial traces are still too heavy, this is determined by ballistic calculations, and the probability of such a phenomenon in nature is low and negligible.
So no enemy ships were found, but it was confirmed that it was an enemy artillery strike.
The damage caused by the first fleet's second and third waves of strikes against the G-star Fleet was even greater.
Because after the stall, they become easier targets to aim, and the result of the ballistic estimation is to wear multiple shots in one shot, rather than how many of them were worn behind before, because they don't know if they can shoot through.
And although the Grand Fleet of the G-Star people withdrew from the curvature voyage, it was still very fast. The damage caused by the impact of debris was certainly not as bad as the first wave, but it was not something that those ships could withstand. And this time there are more fragments.
From a macro point of view, it seems that the ships of the G-stars are all made of fragile ice blocks, and they are passing through an invisible membrane, which will trigger the breaking of the ice blocks that pass through, and it is difficult to say who will break it, but it will inevitably break.
So when the whole fleet passed through this area, it was like a big bird with plump feathers, losing almost all its feathers, even a lot of flesh, leaving only a little feathers, skeletons, and internal organs, and the appearance of being taken away too much and causing obvious vacancies, it was miserable to look at.
Nearly 7,000 ships turned into cosmic dust, and more than 3,000 were injured, and the overall loss of the G-star people was as high as more than 40%.
Fantastic fiasco. It's like investing 5 million to open a hotel, but it was completely looted on the first day, and I didn't make a dime, but I accompanied more than 2 million first.
Zhao Wenrui shouted to stop, it would be boring to fight again, and of course there would be no similar effect.
Zhao Wenrui ordered that the Fourth Fleet start to upgrade, replace the jump engine, and after the upgrade is completed, go to the G star to purify the planet.
The alliance basically watched the whole process of this confrontation between the First Fleet of the First Order and the G-stars, and they now also have good dynamic capture equipment to keep an eye on the approaching G-star fleet.
Therefore, the tragic losses of the G-stars greatly exceeded their expectations, and at the same time, they were also full of indescribable mixed feelings about the strike ability of the First Order's fleet.
The range close to 1AU is most likely not the longest range, but the best range.
What a terrible blow this is!? I am near the sun, and I can kill anyone on your earth.
And the power of the neutron beam cannon is also eye-opening. It's simply a single-beam version of a gamma ray burst, brutal and transparent.
Of course, they also understood what the main reason for the huge losses of the G-star people this time was, but they still couldn't hide the edge of the First Fleet.
The Alliance think tank quickly estimated that, based on the First Fleet's firing frequency, if they were willing to work hard, the G-stars would not have a chance to attack the city.
And the top management of the alliance could only smile bitterly at this time, they remembered some of what Zhao Wenrui said at the beginning.
Zhao Wenrui helped them upgrade their industrial level and sent them ships, which was to make their attitude clear and let them fight with the G stars. It is not intended that humanity will survive this difficult time without worry.
I have the ability to complete the task perfectly, but I just want to pass the level at a low altitude, I just want to see the people of this world tear apart from the G star people in the sky and the earth, I am so willful and hypocritical, what can you do to me?
Helpless, Uncle Zhao is not happy, he can turn around and help the G star people, I believe it is also very sharp.
You can never understand the idea of a bull, just as a top scientist and a madman are two manifestations of one state.
Although the First Order has repaired the G-Stars very badly.
But the alliance's fleet still has to go, after all, the first fleet's ultra-long-range strikes are not much reference for the alliance, and they still have to try the ** front to see what level the ship of the G star people is.
The G-Stars' large fleet did not stop, but continued to advance, but relatively slowly, they were licking their wounds, and they also had repair ships.
In addition, at this current speed, the ship's posture control nozzle can play a greater role, it will be much more flexible, and the evasion ability will be greatly improved, if the enemy still has 7 minutes of shooting flight time, then it will basically not hit.
Correspondingly, the speed has been greatly reduced, and the time for the Grand Fleet to reach the Earth's circle has also been extended, which was originally less than 7 days, but now it takes 1 month.
So now it's hard to say what is gained or lost. After all, a 4-fold extension of time means that it is possible to suffer more blows. The G-Stars now regret their arrogance and pretense, and if they had entered through the ecliptic, things would have been much better, unlike now, like a flock of wild ducks chirping slowly and slowly flying low over the swamps, and the hunters would have fought more easily than frisbees.
The speed of the seven warships of the alliance is not slow, although they do not have the ability to sail with curvature, but the power of plasma propulsion is okay, and the big ass is not white, and after the phased acceleration, it gradually soars.
They calculated that at this rate, going from Earth to Mars would take less time than a luxury cruise ship from Tokyo to Los Angeles.
However, they didn't dare to go any faster, because their ships had similar shortcomings as the G-star ships, that is, once the speed soared, the flexibility decreased significantly, and they became very stiff, and the navigation trajectory was easily estimated, and if the enemy had the ability to strike at a long distance, they would want to cry without tears.
In this way, 11 days later, the two sides met on the scheduled battlefield.
This is almost equivalent to the position between Jupiter and Saturn, and it can be said that it is not far from the Earth, after all, the inner planetary circle, the distance between the planets is relatively close, and the asteroid belt is the edge of the inner planetary circle. And Jupiter is coming over to the asteroid belt.
The reason why it is said to be a predetermined battlefield is because the 7 warships of the alliance have no stealth capability, so the G-star fleet discovered them earlier, and both sides know each other's location and speed, so the meeting point can be calculated, and this is the predetermined battlefield.
Due to the route, there are no planets, moons, or meteorite belts to rely on, so the battlefield is complicated at all, and it is just empty.
When they were about to meet, the alliance warships also slowed down again and again, so as to gain more flexibility, mainly considering that the G star people are a large fleet of 10,000+ after all, and they can carry out area saturation strikes, and without flexibility, they are likely to be dealt with in one wave.
And the G star people are also very busy during this time, busy repairing ships, and have reorganized the fleet, there are too many ships lost, many fleets have been disabled, and they must be reorganized, and then a certain amount of adaptation and running-in is also needed.
Until now, these works have not been completely over.
Of course, this does not prevent them from planning to give the seven human ships a hard time.
They knew that this was supposed to be a scout fleet, and they were also a little afraid of stealth fleets that could strike from a long distance and had fierce firepower.
After some discussion, they decided to show their strong side as much as possible. Let's see if we can bluff the other side, so that the Grand Fleet can enter the Earth Circle with as little damage as possible.
Directly exterminating the population and attacking industrial capacity is the core plan of the G-star people.
Even after suffering heavy losses, they have used extermination strikes as a means of implementation. It is naturally best to preserve the earth's natural environment, but if not, then come to the planet cleaning.
Of course, this will seriously harm the earth's environment, but the solar system, especially the outer planetary circle, has relatively rich water resources, and Jupiter's hydrogen, methane and other resources are also relatively rich.
In such a context, they can spend a long time by gathering resources, building large water tanks, or deep space colonization bases suitable for their lives.
And this period of time is enough to restore the earth's natural environment through human involvement.
In general, as long as it can be driven back and forth, then this expedition will not be a loss, and when the G people have two habitable planets, they will be able to survive the era of serious pollution relatively easily, push science and technology to a higher level, and the problem of survival will be naturally solved.
Therefore, the strategic core of the entire expedition is to have the ability to carry out strikes on the earth at all levels, including the extermination strike. That is, to gain a foothold in the Earth's orbital zone.
All actions must serve this purpose. Including a certain degree of bluffing tactics, so that the earthlings make mistakes in judgment. If the stealth fleet of the earthlings is unwilling to die, then the G-star fleet will be able to reach the earth's circle with less losses, making it easier to achieve strategic objectives.
The purpose of the bluffing tactic is to make the earthlings think that the G-Star Fleet is still very strong, and it is not cost-effective to die, and implement backup plans such as hiding, protracted warfare, and so on.
If the earthlings really did that, then they basically lost. Because the G-star people have geological weapons, they can cause the movement of the planet's plates, causing a global geological catastrophe similar to that in the movie {2012}.
In the face of such a disaster, digging a hole or something is a comic behavior, and the rigid conduction caused by the huge energy of plate movement will make the earth break and fold, and it is super grandiose, and no large-scale underground fortification can survive such a geological disaster.
