Chapter 773: Unable to move forward
ps: Thank you Wei Bozi for your 2 monthly passes! Thank you very much!
Millions of warships were damaged in a wave of attacks, and the Iron Battlestar really couldn't afford to lose a loss of this magnitude!
Although this back and forth, according to the market price of the losses of both sides, the Iron Battlestar actually took advantage.
After all, the ship-carrying forces of the Iron Battlestar are all big road goods, although they are carefully selected high-quality products among the faster-than-light warships produced by the local civilization, but in fact, they are not as good as some civilian faster-than-light ships sold by the earth's civilization, and the price on the market is relatively limited.
But these defensive faster-than-light guns produced by the earth's civilization are completely different, as the earth's civilization's exclusive production of faster-than-light strike weapons, although this equipment can only play a certain role in fixed defense, and cannot carry out faster-than-light navigation maneuvers, but these weapons are not for sale of the earth's civilization, and they have long-range faster-than-light strike capabilities, both in terms of use effect and research value, and I don't know how many civilizations on the market try their best to get one but can't get it.
Therefore, in the case that the ratio of battle losses between the two sides is roughly one to one, compared to the loss of the steel battle star, the loss of the earth's civilization is obviously much larger, even if it does not count the market price, just calculate the production cost, the production cost of this defensive tachyon gun is more than that of a faster-than-light ship.
But in the eyes of Iron Warriors, this battle damage is not calculated in this way.
After all, Iron Battlestar and its partners rebelled against the Alliance, and the economic strength of both sides was too limited, and there was no way to compare with the deep-pocketed Earth civilization!
Even the number of defensive superlight cannons prepared by the Earth civilization within this light-year radius is far more than tens of millions, comparable to the scale of the ship-carrying force of the Iron Battlestar.
Such a large-scale superluminal cannon, according to the frequency of one wave of strikes every ten minutes, the scale of damage they can cause to the steel battlestar carrier force is simply immeasurable.
If it is purely a fight for attrition, the Iron Battlestar, which has a total of only 50 million carriers, will not be able to fight the Earth civilization at all.
Steel Battlestar only has these 50 million ship-carrying troops in total, if it continues at this rate of attrition, the time for the two sides to bomb fifty rounds, the ship-carrying force of Iron Battlestar will not be completely wiped out, how can Iron Battlestar rely on its own ship-carrying force to open up a safe jump point a light year away, so as to complete the attack on the Kende wormhole channel, the director of the earth's civilization?
Therefore, just between this round of attack and defense, Iron Battlestar already knew that he could not fight like this anymore, and he must adopt a more conservative strategy to reduce the casualties of his own ship-carrying forces as much as possible, otherwise it would be difficult for it to complete its set combat objectives by relying on these 50 million ship-carrying forces.
You must know that now it seems that under a round of attacks by the Earth civilization, the Iron Battlestar has lost millions of faster-than-light carriers, but this is actually not the end at all, and such a tragic loss is not even the final result of this round of attacks! The ship-carrying forces on the Iron Battlestar side are still suffering continuous blows.
Because the superluminal cannon base launched by the earth civilization in this round is all over the range of one light year around the Iron Battlestar, and the distance of one light year is the maximum killing range of the Earth civilization hyperlight cannon, so the superlight cannon within this range is involved in the attack on the Iron Battlestar camp.
Although the attack transmission efficiency of the faster-than-light cannon attack is a thousand times the speed of light, the distance of one light-year is enough for the farthest faster-than-light cannon attack to fly for seven or eight hours, which means that although the maximum attack scale of the first time has been completed in the previous few minutes, in the next seven or eight hours, the faster-than-light carrier ship of the Iron Battlestar will also receive continuous follow-up strikes.
If this continues, the rounds of attacks will be superimposed, and the losses on the Iron Battlestar side will only get worse and worse!
Iron Battlestar is absolutely unwilling to accept this situation of being able to be beaten passively, on the one hand, shrinking the carrier force as much as possible, allowing a large number of carrier-carrying troops to return to the carrier cabin, on the other hand, the Iron Battlestar uses the superluminal cannon that has been recharged to open a new round of strikes.
With this round of tachyon cannon charging, Iron Battlestar only activated one and a half million superlight cannons, and all of these faster-than-light cannons were aimed at those attack facilities closest to them in the surrounding area.
As a result, after this round of attacks, the effect was immediately highlighted, and the surround superlight cannon attack bases closest to the Iron Battlestar were all swept away by the Iron Battlestar, and the void only bloomed with incomparably bright and dazzling explosive sparks, and the most urgent security threats around the Iron Battlestar were all eliminated.
You must know that these closest hyperluminal artillery bases, the faster-than-light space-time wave attacks they launch, their power is the most powerful, the energy loss is very small, and falling on the defensive cover of the steel battle star can also bring the greatest damage, and eliminating these ships in the surrounding area as soon as possible is undoubtedly the most personal security risk.
Although the threat of those faster-than-light attacks from a distance is not small, the Iron Battlestar can only strike in turns, slowly sweeping them away.
Fortunately, the speed of the superluminal cannon of the earth civilization is relatively slow, and the steel battle star can only carry out one round of attacks after completing three rounds of attacks, and the earth civilization can only carry out one round of attacks.
Even the high-energy laser weapons that are integrated with the faster-than-light cannon in the vicinity have been cleared by the Iron Battlestar, although the laser weapons in the distance are still shooting, but on the one hand, the far water is not as good as the close fire, and on the other hand, the attack strength is relatively small, and it can't have any attack effect on the Iron Battlestar at all.
The vast majority of laser attacks were blocked by the faster-than-light carriers on the periphery, and some sporadic laser attacks that hit the Iron Battlestar were also easily blocked by the Iron Battlestar's energy shield, and did not have much effect.
Iron Battlestar's faster-than-light cannon charges extremely quickly, which is the most important combat advantage of Iron Battlestar at the moment, and Iron Battlestar itself is very aware of this.
In the previous round of attacks, Iron Battlestar only used more than one million faster-than-light guns to attack the outside world, that was because Iron Battlestar had previously lost too much energy for a while because of the space-time jump, and it was saving energy to the maximum, so it adopted a conservative tactic.
Now, after a few minutes of relaxation, the Battlestar Energy Generator has generated a large amount of energy balance, allowing the Iron Battlestar to stop falling and rise a lot of energy reserves due to the previous large-scale use of various equipment, which gives the Iron Battlestar more room to exert himself.
So in the next round of attacks, Iron Battlestar activated all of its faster-than-light cannons to recharge, which was a total of more than four million, close to five million faster-than-light cannons! If it weren't for the previous successive attacks by the Earth civilization and the destruction of some faster-than-light runs, the number of Iron Battlestar's fully loaded faster-than-light attack weapons would be as many as five million!
Iron Battlestar wants to destroy as many Earth Civilization superlight cannons as possible in the surrounding area as soon as possible, and reduce the strength of Earth Civilization to attack itself as much as possible.
If you don't do this, Iron Battlestar will not look at this time as a very beautiful time, and will easily destroy millions of faster-than-light cannons on the earth civilization, but once the earth civilization launches a counterattack, the Iron Battlestar will only be unable to eat and walk around.
You must know that in the previous round of salvo attacks of the earth civilization, the Iron Battlestar was under extremely huge defensive pressure, although the mobilization of millions of ship-carrying ships to block the periphery of the defensive shield has minimized the pressure that the energy shield needs to bear, but the earth civilization side of tens of millions of faster-than-light guns fired a salvo together, and the pressure generated by this is still unimaginably huge.
In just a few minutes of the peak of the attack, the energy shield of the Iron Battlestar was partially broken in several places, and the entire shield generation system was almost completely collapsed, and after the climax of the attack passed, the pressure on the energy shield of the Iron Battlestar was reduced to the range of bearing, and it was relatively easy to resist.
With the experience of being attacked by tens of millions of superlight cannons at the same time this time, the Iron Battlestar does not want to withstand a second time, so it is necessary to reduce the attack strength of the Earth civilization to the greatest extent, otherwise this level of powerful attack, even the energy shield of the Iron Battlestar will not be able to support it at all.
The Iron Battlestar's energy shield system is actually extremely powerful, even if it hits at the same time with millions of faster-than-light attacks, it is difficult to destroy the Battlestar's energy shield, this strength is already extremely terrifying, and it is definitely enough to use under ordinary circumstances.
In the past, even on the battlefield of cosmic-level civilization, Iron Battlestar had never experienced this terrifying scene of being attacked by tens of millions of superluminal guns at the same time, although among the tens of millions of attacks in total, the scale that could hit Iron Battlestar at the first time was actually only a few million rounds, but even so, it was almost the life of the Iron Battlestar energy shield, and the attack intensity was simply terrifying!
After all, when he used to serve under a cosmic-level civilization, even if Iron Battlestar participated in foreign wars, it would never directly approach the enemy's defense network attack range as it does now.
At that time, a large number of top-level warships were loaded, and the distance of a few light years was just a consumption of one or two jumps for the ship-carrying troops, and the Iron Battlestar did not have to risk his life at all, and he was always within a safe range to attack the enemy, and the safety was quite guaranteed, even in the face of the occasional sudden attack by the enemy's top warships, the intensity of the attack that the Iron Battlestar withstood was often quite limited.
Carrying tens of millions, and at most hundreds of millions, of top-notch warships, the Iron Battlestar was a heavyweight that made hostile civilizations see it as a great enemy.
But now without those most advanced ship-carrying units, the Iron Battlestar knew that there was a risk and had to bite the bullet, and actually encountered the concentrated fire of tens of millions of faster-than-light guns, this scene was really terrifying! The Iron Battlestar did its best to launch all the faster-than-light attack weapons, and would never let itself fall into this desperate situation for the second time.
Soon, this charge of the Iron Battlestar was completed again, and nearly five million faster-than-light attacks swept away almost all the weapons platforms of the earth's civilization within the close range of the Iron Battlestar, and the faster-than-light guns in the distance were also being destroyed, which made the Iron Battlestar finally breathe a sigh of relief, and finally did not have to be hit by the super-large-scale concentrated fire attack of the earth's civilization to instantly hit the energy shield collapsed!
Soon after, there were several rounds of confrontation between the enemy and the enemy, and the Iron Battlestar caused greater losses to the Earth side due to its fast attack frequency, but under the continuous attack of tens of millions of faster-than-light guns of the Earth civilization, the losses of the Iron Battlestar were also quite small.
With the delay in the arrival of a large number of faster-than-light cannon attacks, the pressure of the Iron Battlestar energy shield continues to grow, in order to reduce the strong pressure on the energy shield, the Iron Battlestar has lost millions of faster-than-light ships one after another, and the subsequent loss of warships will continue, and the losses on both sides are quite large.
But in general, the earth's civilization is quite dominant.
Because although the Iron Battlestar has destroyed a large number of defenses of the earth's civilization, it seems that it has achieved a lot of results, but in the overall strategic situation, the Iron Battlestar can be said to have always stopped moving forward, and there has been no progress at all.
You must know that the Iron Battlestar descended on this jump point, but it was to release the warship and go to an area a light year away to open up a safe jump point for itself, not to fight each other and consume firepower with the superluminal cannon defense network of the Earth civilization here.
Even if Iron Battlestar destroys the weapons and facilities of more Earth civilizations, this will not be able to offset the disadvantage that Iron Battlestar's ship-carrying forces have not really stepped out even a step now.
Not to mention going to an area a light year away, just by helping the Iron Battlestar as a meat shield, the ship-carrying force has already consumed millions of warships, which is a huge failure for the Iron Battlestar!
On the other hand, although the earth civilization has lost a lot of defense facilities, the ship-carrying forces that block the Iron Battlestar cannot advance an inch, which has already formed a great suppression of the Iron Battlestar.
Not to mention that although the Iron Battlestar has destroyed a lot of faster-than-light cannon defense bases, so far, even one of the Earth's civilization faster-than-light battleships, the Iron Battlestar, has not been able to destroy it.
These faster-than-light warships, the earth civilization did not directly arrange around the trap jump point, because when arranging this trap, the earth civilization already knew very well what the real goal of the Iron Battlestar would be once this jump point, and it made no sense to place faster-than-light strike warships around the trap jump point.
