Chapter 762: The First Battle
The performance of the fluctuating energy cannon, the Iron Battlestar knows best, in this battle, even if these low-end faster-than-light weapons attack first, they can't help the Earth Fleet, and the Iron Battlestar naturally knows this very clearly.
However, although he knew that the attack of these warships would not have any combat effect at all in this first round of contact warfare, the Iron Battlestar still insisted on letting these modified fleets launch this round of attacks on the Earth Fleet with the fullest posture and the strictest combat standards.
Of course, this attack actually did not play a role, but in fact, it was not only the attacks of these faster-than-light carriers that did not work, even the round of cluster firepower attacks launched by the Iron Battlestar in less than five minutes, even if it had an attack transmission efficiency of a thousand times the speed of light, there was a great possibility, and it would not be able to move even a single hair of the Earth Fleet at all.
It is very likely that before all these attacks have descended on them, the Earth fleet has all started to space-jump and arrived in a safe area.
But this does not prevent the two concentrated fire strikes carried out by the Iron Battlestar, which is the case in interstellar warfare, sometimes many attacks, and even fail to achieve a single result, but these fruitless attacks and actions do not mean that they are meaningless, at least this transmits an extremely strong threat signal to the Earth Fleet, and with the opportunity of this actual operation, the Iron Battlestar is also training its own ship-carrying forces, so that they are more suitable for the new combat mode and more familiar with the combat style of the Battlestar.
In fact, releasing a large number of carrier ships at this time is not only not as simple as not having the results of the battle, but the Earth Civilization Fleet will almost 100% launch a strike on the team of the Iron Battlestar before making a time and space jump when it detects the presence of the Iron Battlestar and releases a large number of carriers.
The Earth Fleet's faster-than-light weapons are weapons of the same grade as the Iron Battlestar, and the distance of one-tenth of a light-year can be reached in less than an hour, and if the fleet is not able to skillfully change formations and quickly respond to battlefield threats, it may even suffer a certain degree of damage!
Iron Battlestar knew that this situation was very likely to happen, but he still chose to let the ship-carrying troops appear on the battlefield without hesitation, in order to let the real battlefield environment test the true level of these ship-carrying forces.
For those ships that are not of sufficient level and cannot meet the requirements of the Iron Battlestar, the Iron Battlestar would rather let them directly lose on the current battlefield than let them drag the entire fleet back in the real dangerous and extremely dangerous battlefield environment in the future.
Normally, after the previous training, coupled with the Iron Battlestar as the backing, as long as they accurately obey the command and strictly implement the order, these ships can completely survive on the battlefield, but if they are really not good enough to adapt to the battlefield situation, then for the Iron Battlestar, the loss of such a ship will be a loss, and there is nothing to be sorry for.
So in the following time, the Iron Battlestar made full use of the battlefield environment, tested the level of this ship-carrying force with the greatest strength, and tens of millions of warships were released by it, and if no one was next to the battlefield, they lined up and rehearsed, commanding a fleet of such a size, and changing the formation one after another, showing the dominance of the Iron Battlestar on the battlefield.
While training the soldiers and horses to their heart's content, the Iron Battlestar did not forget to launch an attack on the Earth Fleet, and all the faster-than-light guns launched round after round of strikes against the Earth Fleet at a frequency of five minutes and a wave.
The Earth Fleet also had no intention of being beaten in vain, and while charging the space-time jump engine, the Earth Fleet completed two rounds of concentrated fire strikes at the fastest speed for this Iron Battlestar and some areas around the Iron Battlestar, which consumed a total of forty minutes of the Earth Fleet's time.
After completing these two rounds of strikes, the Earth Fleet stopped charging the faster-than-light cannon, because before the new round of attacks could be charged, the Earth Fleet could start the space-time jump.
Immediately, after nearly fifty minutes of charging the space-time jump engine, the Earth Fleet was finally able to start the space-time jump, and before the faster-than-light strike of the Iron Battlestar really fell on the Earth Fleet, the Earth Fleet had already flashed out of thin air and disappeared into the void in pieces.
In this way, the previous rounds of superluminal artillery strikes of the Iron Battlestar have all done useless work, and even these concentrated fire strikes with an effective killing distance of five light years will also cause extremely serious damage to the surrounding environment, some civilizations and fleets at this distance, if they are a little unlucky, they may suffer devastating blows if they are touched by stray bullets, but no one will care about them as innocent victims, let alone anyone who is responsible for them.
The only thing that Iron Battlestar cared about was which direction the Earth Fleet had jumped, and in order to get information as soon as possible, Iron Battlestar immediately activated a large-scale space-time detection radar system.
Soon, when Iron Battlestar discovered these Earth fleets again, these Earth Fleets had already appeared in an area full 3 light-years away from Iron Battlestar.
The Earth Fleet's selection of this space-time jump is extremely tricky, they do not jump in the direction away from the Rebellion Alliance Star Field, on the contrary, these Earth ships are a little closer to the Rebellion Alliance Star Field, they are just moving in a circle around the Resistance Alliance Star Field, which is nothing more than a little distance away from the Iron Battlestar.
In this position, if the Iron Battlestar launches an attack on the Earth Fleet, most of the battlefield stray bullets will be poured into the area of the Resistance Alliance, thus causing great damage to the defense line of the Resistance Alliance.
Of course, Iron Battlestar will not consider how much damage this reverberation of the battlefield will cause to the Resistance Alliance, and the Iron Battlestar is more concerned about the fact that although the Earth Fleet has jumped to this distance, they still have not escaped the effective range of Iron Battlestar's firepower.
The large superlight cannon installed on the steel battle star is huge and powerful, and the effective killing distance is within a range of five light years, although after reaching the distance of three light years, the lethality of the superlight speed cannon has been greatly reduced, but it can still cause greater damage to the Earth fleet.
If at a distance of about one light year, the power of the Iron Battlestar's superluminal cannon is in the maximum range, and it can completely destroy the earth battleships that support the multi-layer energy shield under one shot, then within the range of three light years, the Iron Battlestar can still destroy the defensive shield with one shot, and completely destroy the earth battleship with another cannon, which is nothing more than a lower hit rate and a lower effective destruction rate.
At a distance of three light years, the faster-than-light cannon was only a one-day delay, and there was no substantial change, and it was still within the strike range of the Iron Battlestar.
Therefore, after determining the location of the Earth Fleet, the Iron Battlestar readjusted the charging order of the faster-than-light cannon, readjusted the angle of attack, and soon launched a new round of strikes against the Earth Fleet.
There are as many as millions of faster-than-light cannons installed on the entire Iron Battlestar, and each time the Iron Battlestar only activates a million of them to attack, and the Iron Battlestar quickly attacks several more waves at a rate of one wave in five minutes.
In fact, Iron Battlestar is still carrying out a huge ballistic calculation while attacking, all attacks are not single, Iron Battlestar weaves each round of attacks into a crossfire network, constantly compressing the living space of the Earth Fleet, constantly re-planning the angle of the next round of attacks according to the previous round of attacks, and making sure to carry out the most effective killing of the Earth Fleet.
Although this is an attack from a distance of three light years, and now all the attack targets are "blind selection", and it will even take nearly a day for these artillery fires to really hit the Earth Fleet, but through rounds of high-frequency and large-scale attacks, the Iron Battlestar still has a way to make the Earth Fleet follow its own "guidance", constantly improve the probability, and appear where they want them to appear, so as to maximize the killing efficiency.
It's a pity that the Iron Battlestar has the calculations of the Iron Battlestar, and the Earth Fleet also has the calculations of the Earth Fleet.
Iron Battlestar wants to weave a netting of murderous firepower for the Earth Fleet, and the Earth Fleet is also doing its best to find possible life for itself.
It can't be said that the attack of the Iron Battlestar has no scientific and technological content, in fact, the superluminal attack with a round of five minutes and a scale of one million lanes, the firepower network formed in an instant is enough to form an incomparably powerful kill, even if the Earth Fleet has deliberately dispersed the formation when it is making a space-time jump, forming a very loose and irregular fleet formation structure, but if there is no large number of obstacles to provide protection, this wave will still inevitably have a large number of casualties.
Once the cumulative amount of damage accumulated by a wave of attacks is sufficient, even if the Earth fleet is separated by three light-years and continues to close the distance, it will still inevitably be devastating by the Iron Battlestar.
Fortunately, this area is really not a difficult thing for the Earth fleet to find some cover that they can rely on.
Although the Earth Fleet did not enter the Star Domain of the Resistance Alliance after a single jump, it was just hovering on the edge of the outer edge of the defense system that the Resistance Alliance had vigorously built. It can be said that the distance between the two is so close that for the Earth Fleet, there is only a distance to lift the feet, and it doesn't even take a day to penetrate deep into the defense system of the Resistance Alliance, and such a jump position itself is exactly what the Earth Fleet has carefully jumped.
As the Earth Fleet, which is wandering outside the Star Domain of the Resistance Alliance, which can be called the biggest security threat, has long been prepared for the sudden attack of this Iron Battlestar, and the Earth Fleet has long been prepared for various means of response, if the Iron Battlestar is willing to slowly consume with the Earth Fleet, then the Earth Fleet is really not afraid of slowly consuming, the longer it drags on, the more prepared the Earth civilization is, and the more difficult the situation of the Iron Battlestar will be.
Iron Battlestar has naturally long been aware of the subtleties of the Earth Fleet's jump point, and Iron Battlestar is not at all concerned about the possibility that the Earth Fleet may have to use the defense facilities of the Resistance Alliance to resist its own attacks.
Anyway, these peripheral areas do not have any important strategic objectives, and they are not afraid of being affected by the war at all, the Earth Fleet wants to use the convenience of the environment to resist its own attacks, and the Iron Battlestar also wants to use the environmental convenience of the Resistance Alliance to cause harm to the Earth Fleet in turn.
After all, the defense system created by the Resistance Alliance is not completely useless, and those defensive facilities everywhere can certainly withstand some of the attacks of the Iron Battlestar.
But you must know that the Resistance Alliance and the Iron Warrior are in the same group, and when the battlefield environment was discovered for the first time, the Iron Warrior had already contacted the Resistance Alliance and obtained complete battlefield data.
With these battlefield data, Iron Battlestar can even carefully arrange and adjust the angle of artillery fire, combined with the attack capability of the defense system, to form a three-dimensional attack on the Earth fleet, so as to create more effective killing.
Especially the defense system of the Resistance Alliance, they can learn about the attack ballistic network of the Iron Battlestar nearly a day in advance, and they can take the initiative to cooperate and cause targeted damage to the Earth Fleet, which side can get a more advantageous battlefield result in the end, which still needs to be seen from the results, and it cannot be simply said that the Earth Fleet or the Iron Battlestar have a unilateral advantage, it depends on the specific level of action of both sides.
It's just that the Iron Battlestar obviously feels that he has a bigger victory, and the incomparably complex battlefield pattern, the Resistance Alliance and the Iron Battlestar as the masters, obviously can make better use of the battlefield environment, and the Earth Fleet does not have an advantage in this regard, from the analysis of the amount of calculations, the Earth Fleet is already difficult to compete with the Iron Battlestar and the two sides of the Resistance Alliance on its own, and the Earth Fleet obviously has a greater probability of losing.
The confident Iron Battlestar even completed the attack on the Earth Fleet, and was able to command the ship-carrying forces provided by the Resistance Alliance with ease, avoiding the two rounds of attacks launched by the Earth Fleet before.
Although a few warships were still damaged, but with the Iron Battlestar holding up the global defense shield as a meat shield, the vast majority of the warships still had no danger and passed safely, showing a fairly good combat quality.
For the current Iron Battlestar, a situation that I don't know whether it is a favorable or unfavorable factor is that the Earth Fleet is no longer within the effective killing distance of the Iron Battlestar because it is too far away, so the Earth Fleet simply gave up the counterattack on the Iron Battlestar, and concentrated on guerrilla warfare, only occasionally carrying out some sporadic firefights on the warships that came to participate in the battle of the Resistance Alliance, killing and injuring some of the warships of the Resistance Alliance.
