Chapter 787: An Unprecedented Crisis
However, if you don't value it, you don't value it, you don't value it as a threat, and through some details of the actions of these faster-than-light fighters, Iron Battlestar is also keenly aware of the unusualness of these fighters.
You must know that although the combat ships on the side of the earth civilization are the key targets of the Iron Battlestar, for these faster-than-light fighters, the Iron Battlestar is not without attack, at most, the scale of the allocated firepower is relatively small.
In this case, it is said that the number of fighters actively destroyed by the faster-than-light cannon should exist, even if it is relatively small.
But the fact is that the combat ships of the earth civilization are unfavorable to avoid, and as a result, there are still some cases where they hit the attack orbit of the superluminal cannon of the steel battle star, and those fighters except for the active act as a shield for the combat ship and the part that was destroyed in order to protect the safety of the battleship, all the other fighters are intact to protect themselves, sometimes even if they see that a fighter is about to be destroyed, as a result, these fighters can successfully evade at the last moment and successfully avoid the fate of being destroyed.
Iron Battlestar made a little count afterwards and found that the cases of these fighters being destroyed due to their own evasion disadvantage really did not even exist, which was extremely magical.
You must know that even if it is an earth combat spaceship escorted by faster-than-light fighters, some of them are still destroyed by the Iron Battlestar because of the consumption of their own escort fighters too much.
In this case, those fighters that flew independently and did not escort the battleship were all safe and sound, which is really too strange.
One of the things that Iron Battlestar wonders about these fighters is why these faster-than-light fighters of Earth civilization are able to accurately find attacks that can pose a deadly threat to Earth warships and themselves.
The only plausible explanation is that these fighters were able to observe the ballistic trajectories of these tachyon gun attacks. Because of this, these fighters were able to avoid crises every time and not be easily destroyed.
But you must know that there is no technology on the side of the earth civilization that can detect the accurate trajectory of the faster-than-light strike in advance, and this Iron Battlestar is also a little bit of intelligence that has been analyzed through many details through countless head-to-head confrontations between the two camps, and the accuracy is very high.
Even those large ships of the earth civilization, and even the large defense bases of the earth civilization, and other key military facilities, do not have the ability to detect the trajectory of the faster-than-light attack, why do these smallest faster-than-light fighters seem to be able to not only perceive the information of the faster-than-light attack trajectory, but also be able to intercept and defend their own warships in advance before they are destroyed, and use their own suicidal behavior to help those earth-based warships resist the attack of faster-than-light guns?
Iron Battlestar was really puzzled by this, and speculated on all kinds of possibilities, but he could never find any reasonable explanation.
It is said that if the earth civilization really has this kind of technology that can detect and perceive faster-than-light attacks in advance, the first thing to be equipped with should be those large combat ships, why are those large ships quite clumsy, although they are often able to change direction flexibly and avoid most of the attacks in advance, but sometimes it is still difficult to dodge the attack of faster-than-light guns.
On the contrary, these small, inconspicuous combat fighters are more sensitive, and they have avoided almost all deadly threats against themselves.
In fact, if it is exposed, the reason is very simple, these fighters are all operated by the powerhouses of the Immortal Realm, and the number of fighters directly controlled by a powerhouse of the Immortal Realm on the battlefield is thousands or even tens of thousands.
Every fighter plane either has a consciousness imprint of the strong people in the fairy realm, or there is a divine idea of the strong people in the fairy land, and some simply have a split soul of the strong people in the fairy land.
This is equivalent to saying that the powerhouses of the Immortal Realm have spread out a huge mental network on the battlefield, which can sense a large number of dangers and guide the fighters to carry out various evasive activities in advance.
Under the guidance of the spiritual induction of the powerhouses of the Immortal Realm, the safety of these fighters is naturally guaranteed, and they will not be easily destroyed by the attacks of the Iron Battlestar.
Even if the first-line warships with relatively high operational requirements and are not suitable for a large number of operations by the powerhouses of the Immortal Realm, before the fighters are destroyed, the powerhouses of the Immortal Realm can calmly extract their own consciousness imprints, spiritual ideas, etc., and they will not be harmed with the destruction of the fighters at all.
Therefore, as time went on, the Iron Battlestar carried out round after round of targeted strikes against those front-line combat ships, and after the fighters that protected those battleships synchronously were gradually lost, these combat ships still began to be lost in large quantities, and they exploded into a dazzling flame of light in the void.
But the losses of these warships were not without a trace of achievements and achievements. These ships were often destroyed before they were destroyed, and the ghost immortal powerhouses in the battleship had already foreshadowed them, and it was only because they were saturated by the steel battle star that it was really difficult to reasonably avoid them, and they were finally destroyed.
However, before the battleship was destroyed, the ghosts and fairies had often successfully released the space-time annihilation bomb, thus creating a greater threat to the Iron Battlestar.
In order to eliminate the huge threat posed by these space-time annihilation bombs in advance, the Iron Battlestar often had to carry out multiple rounds of intensive faster-than-light cannon attacks in advance, and after consuming a large amount of artillery fire, it was able to successfully intercept an annihilation bomb, which provided a valuable opportunity for other warships and fighters to get closer to the Iron Battlestar.
After verifying that there were indeed space-time annihilation bombs inside these Earth warships, Iron Battlestar immediately launched a more intensive firepower offensive against these warships, which was bound to intercept these warships from a long distance, which also led to heavy losses on these warships in the next period of time, and most of them were destroyed unconsciously.
However, while these warships were destroyed, they also created enough trouble for the Iron Battlestar, in order to destroy those space-time annihilation bombs that were 50 times the speed of light, the Iron Battlestar even had to use a lot of firepower to attack them, so that as many as tens of millions of faster-than-light fighters were intentionally or unintentionally ignored in the past and became unattacked.
By the time Iron Battlestar had exhausted all his efforts and finally completely destroyed all these space-time annihilation bombs, and solved the crisis that Iron Battlestar itself might be completely blown up by these annihilation bombs, at this time, there were still tens of millions of faster-than-light fighters that had arrived at a distance of only about an hour from Iron Battlestar.
A mere flight of more than an hour, which can be said to be only a stone's throw away on the Star Wars battlefield, at this distance, even if the Iron Battlestar uses all its superluminal cannons that can attack these fighters, it is impossible to destroy them before they reach the surface of the Iron Battlestar.
And these faster-than-light fighters of the earth's civilization are so weird and unpredictable that it is difficult to know the depths!
They seem to have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and are able to spot any danger accurately and avoid it with ease.
They seemed so safe and harmless that the planes weren't even equipped with faster-than-light cannons, only two high-energy laser cannons that were like toys on the interstellar battlefield, that they didn't even do the slightest damage to Iron Battlestar as they approached within easy range.
But are they really that safe? Iron Battlestar would never think so.
It can be regarded as a short deal of dealing with the earth civilization for a long time, and the Iron Battlestar consciously has a very deep understanding of the earth civilization.
The earth civilization, which has so far had an extremely mysterious side, makes people confused about the general situation, and it is difficult to understand the powerful foreign civilization, its scientific and technological level has undoubtedly reached a considerable height, and it has reached the top of the interstellar civilization, and in some fields has even touched the threshold of the cosmic civilization.
Of course, such a civilization cannot be underestimated, but what Iron Battlestar is more afraid of for the Earth civilization is that this civilization will do something unexpected from time to time, which makes Iron Battlestar deeply puzzled and unimaginable.
In the body of the earth civilization, the Iron Battlestar has already discovered many mysterious and inexplicable things more than once, and in actual combat, to be honest, the Iron Battlestar may often be able to occupy a little upper hand on the local battlefield, but at the strategic level, the Iron Battlestar not only does not take advantage of the slightest, but now there is a little sign of imminent defeat.
To be honest, this battle in the star field directly under the Earth civilization is simply terrible!
Obviously, when he destroyed the defense facilities in front of the wormhole passage, Iron Battlestar had already seen the dawn of his strategic advance, but an inexplicable space-time anomaly area made Iron Battlestar fall short in the end, and he had to continue the war.
Brightly and secretly, the Iron Battlestar has already suffered a lot of losses from the Earth Civilization, in this case, where does the Iron Battlestar dare to have the slightest contempt for the actions of the Earth Civilization?
These seemingly vulnerable, harmless faster-than-light fighters have become the most threatening existence in the eyes of the current Iron Battlestar, and it never believes that the earth's civilization consumes huge strength, ostensibly using fighters as a cover for warships, but the actual result is that these warships provide enough safe space for fighters, and finally send these tens of millions of fighters to their own extreme safety distance, just to make a big and harmless joke with themselves.
In the eyes of Iron Battlestar, these fighters must have some unimaginable huge security threats, to some extent, they are more lethal than space-time annihilation bombs, and what is even more terrifying is that Iron Battlestar has not even figured out what the killing mode and actual use of these fighters are.
After searching all the war records in history, the Iron Battlestar couldn't imagine what a fighter formation of the size and scale of these faster-than-light fighters could do, and what incredible killing effects it could have. And this unknown is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
It can be said that Iron Battlestar has fallen into an unprecedented crisis!
If they can't successfully destroy these fighters before the crisis really breaks out, Iron Battlestar may really be in big trouble.
Fortunately, Iron Battlestar still has some ways to destroy these fighters, and it is far from the point where it is truly exhausted.
I saw that on the surface of the battle star, the metal alloy armor that was originally smooth and flat suddenly burst open, and then a huge high-energy laser cannon turret poked out from inside the armor.
These high-energy laser cannons are not as expensive as superlight guns, they are the combat defense system of the Steel Battlestar at a very close range, there are tens of millions of them in any area of the Battlestar, and these weapons can be manufactured in batches by the Iron Battlestar itself, even if they are partially destroyed, they can be repaired quickly.
And although these high-energy laser cannons can not carry out faster-than-light strikes, but they are a major combat weapon for linear attacks, once the high-energy laser cannon is activated, it can draw a high-energy laser ray in the void, and all objects within the reach of the ray will be cut by the high-energy laser, and the effective combat distance of this weapon has reached half a light year, and the lethality in the close range is amazing.
It is conceivable that once tens of millions of high-energy laser cannons form a defensive network, they can immediately lay out a net in the surrounding space, and not many things can really pass through this defensive network and successfully threaten the safety of the Iron Battlestar.
And that's exactly what happened, as Iron Battlestar activated this huge high-energy laser defense network and formed a large enough network range in the void, the faster-than-light fighters of the Earth civilization immediately became struggling.
Although the speed of high-energy lasers does not appear to be fast on the interstellar battlefield, once the high-energy lasers form a network, it does not matter whether their reaction speed is fast or not, what matters is how dense the mesh of these high-energy laser nets will be weaved.
However, it is a pity that a sufficient number of high-energy laser cannons make the Iron Battlestar's laser network woven fine enough, and the further it goes to the inner layer, the smaller the mesh becomes.
Although the faster-than-light fighters of the earth civilization have flexible reactions and can dodge dangerous attacks every time, they have no way to escape from the huge net formed by the intersection of high-energy laser beams.
No matter how flexible and agile you are, the mesh of the Aurora network is smaller than your fighter, and you have no choice but to crash into it.
The successive faster-than-light fighters often have to rely on the sacrifices of their teammates in front, so that the fighters in front can block the attack of high-energy laser beams, and the fighters in the rear can pass safely.
