Chapter 279 Lethal Weapon
After encountering such an unprecedented spacecraft, Gavin did not act rashly, but carefully tested it.
However, he did not expect that after discovering Gavin's fleet, the other party would directly send two-thirds, that is, four fleets, rushed directly to him in an attempt to completely encircle and annihilate Gavin's fleet. Gavin was not fooled, but carefully contacted the enemy, and he did not use the Dragon Warfare Fleet, but only used the Dragon Xiao-class warships to make several small-scale contacts with the other party, and then the result made him look very ugly. With the rich combat experience of the Third Fleet and the performance of the Dragon Xiao-class, After this contact, I actually suffered a small loss.
However, it is not difficult to see that the performance of this new type of Dragon Slayer is indeed good. Its defense and attack power are above the Dragon Xiao-class warships, but it is still not as good as the Dragon War II.
At the same time, Xiaoqi also got in touch with Persimmon. With the joint efforts of Xiaoqi and Persimmon, although they could not invade the other party's warship because of the interference of artificial intelligence, they could easily hide Oscar and Pirkina's mecha, so that the enemy could not find them in a short time.
In the case of determining the safety of the target, Gavin did not take immediate action, but cautiously chose to retreat. After all, the Federation is weak in strength, and at least it has to wait until the other two fleets come from Mazur and the fleet responsible for escorting the prisoners to rejoin the fleet before taking large-scale actions.
Basically, this is the current situation. In addition to the one that escorted the prisoners, Gavin has controlled his four fleets near the Stannik star system and made a confrontation. The two sides are temporarily calm, but the battle may break out at any time.
This is just an intelligence brief sent to him. As for the specific situation, he will not know until he contacts Gavin.
Two hours later, the dragon-class spacecraft crossed the border and entered the Kingdom of Mazur. It soon contacted the Gavin fleet and entered the range of the fleet. Yunyi did not enter Gavin's command flagship, but only contacted through the fleet's internal network.
"Lord Yun."
After the communication was established, Gaiven, dressed in a general suit and three twinkling stars on his shoulders, appeared in front of Yunyi. The deep eyes are full of self-confidence, deeply restrained, neither humble nor arrogant, as if they have the temperament of a famous general.
"General Gavin, what's the situation now?"
Yunyi didn't talk nonsense and asked directly. At present, although Oscar is hidden in the asteroid belt, with the help of persimmons and Xiaoyu, there is no big problem in terms of safety. However, considering the importance of Oscar, it is better to solve this matter as soon as possible. Moreover, Yunyi is still secretly worried that if the time continues to drag on, the federal side can withdraw some troops to support, but there is no doubt that the Dragon Slayer will also send more troops.
He knows very well that the Dragon Slayer has unparalleled advantages in the field of robots and artificial intelligence. As long as they are given time, they can create endless armies. This is too hard for the Federation to catch up, unless the Federation, like the Dragon Slayer, focuses on robots and artificial intelligence.
Although the Federation and countries in the Southern Universe have also begun to widely use robots in order to make up for the lack of military strength, in a word, the widespread use of robots must be supported by sufficient artificial intelligence. Without the control of artificial intelligence, only relying on the robot's own programs can only do very little. Take the Zhao and Song Empire, which uses the most widely used robots, as an example, has a fleet with the most robots. Without the coordination of artificial intelligence, only one-third of each ship is robots.
Gavin nodded and said, "Before the Fourteenth Fleet arrived, we mainly confronted each other. Try not to engage in large-scale exchanges of fire with the enemy as much as possible. But from the perspective of previous small-scale battles, the performance of enemy warships is very good, especially in terms of attack power, which is already very close to the Dragon Battle class.
"How powerful?" Yunyi was slightly stunned. As the designer of the Dragon Battle-class warship, he was very clear about the weapon performance of the Dragon Battle-class. And the other party's sea cucumber-like spacecraft actually has an attack power comparable to the dragon level, which surprised how Yunyi could not be surprised.
"Yes, my lord." Gavin said, sent a document and said, "This is the previous battle image. Adults can have a look."
Cloud Wing casually opens the file and projects it aside.
This is a tentative small-scale battle image. It can be clearly seen that more than 30 Longxiao-class warships are flexibly seducing the enemy under the command of Gavin, and soon attracted the pursuit of 50 enemy warships. At this time, Yunyi guessed that Gavin might send these 30 warships to fight with the enemy. Only in this way can the most accurate conclusion be obtained. Moreover, there are two fleets in the rear, which can be easily completed regardless of attack or retreat. As he expected, it was 30 warships that immediately rushed towards the 50 Dragon Slayer warships.
However, the result was unexpected by Yunyi. Although the battleship of the Dragon Slayer was slow, its range was indeed surprisingly long. When the distance between the two sides reached twice the range of the Dragon Xiao class, he saw that the main gun of the Dragon Slayer's warship had begun to be charged. At this time, Gavin thought that the other party's main gun had been charged for a long time, so Just charge it in advance. However, as the distance is getting closer and closer, the numbers read from the ship's energy detector show that the energy of the other party's main gun is rising sharply, and in a short time, it has reached the energy required for the launch of the Longxiao-class main gun, and it is still rising.
Gavin immediately guessed that the enemy's range was absolutely above the Longxiao class, and he immediately ordered the warship to evade. Fortunately, his orders were issued in time, and the Long Xiao level was relatively flexible, so he immediately dispersed and dodged left and right.
Sure enough, as he guessed, when the range of the Longxiao-class main gun reached 1.5 times, the battleship main gun of the Dragon Slayer began to fire. When he saw the red light, the face of the cloud wings changed.
"This is not an energy beam cannon!" He looked very ugly. He stared at the black cylindrical dragon-killing warship without blinking and said coldly, "No wonder it is designed like this. Indeed, only this cylindrical hull can put this super-large orbital accelerator inside the ship. A spiral orbital accelerator? Directly gave up the energy attack, but adopted the kinetic energy physical attack method... The life of the Dragon Slayer is really worthless. Has it possible that they have developed a method to resist particle erosion?
The small-scale use of the orbital accelerator can also resist radiation and particle erosion without affecting the user. However, if it is used on a large scale, it is not easy to control, and with the increase of volume and power, the degree of particle erosion will increase geometrically. Judging from the scale of such a warship as the Dragon Slayer, I'm afraid that when the main gun is fired, the whole warship will almost be filled with particles that escaped and accelerated to the speed of light. Without protective equipment, even advanced masters of level 4 or 5 will be difficult to survive in this environment for more than five minutes.
But I have to say that the attack effect of this kinetic energy weapon is still very powerful. First of all, it will not be as diffuse as an energy weapon, that is to say, as long as the material is ejected after acceleration, no matter how far it is, as long as it is not captured by the gravity of a nearby planet, it will fly at the same speed. To some extent, its range is also infinite.
However, the farther the distance, the greater the error, and the easier it is to avoid. Therefore, no matter how far its range is, it is better to launch it at close range to hit the enemy unexpectedly without giving the other party time to escape.
"Terrible weapon..."
Yun Yi snorted coldly and continued to look at the projection. Due to Gavin's timely orders, most of the warships successfully avoided the opponent's attack, but seven warships were still hit. The projectile used by the other party is a plutonium bullet commonly used in electromagnetic weapons, and one weighs at least 10 kilograms. Although its quality is extremely small, it is simply not a grade compared with those space*. But when this projectile is accelerated to one-tenth of the speed of light, the terrible damage generated is enough to shock everyone.
A bullet is like a sesame that hits the human body compared with the Longxiao-class warship. However, at the moment when the two met, the Longxiao-class warship was smashed on the spot like a fragile biscuit with a thickness of six meters of outer high-strength alloy armor. At the same time, the speed of the bullet did not decrease at all, and then penetrated the whole warship.
After being attacked, the appearance of the Longxiao-class warship was almost complete. At a glance, it did not seem to have suffered any damage. But in fact, its interior, especially the area where the bullets pass through, is already dilapidated, and no material can resist bullets that have been accelerated to this extent. And what's more deadly is that while passing through the warship, plutonium bullets will continuously release plutonium particles with the same speed and high radiation, easily killing all members of the warship.
Looking at the seven hit warships floating out of control, Yunyi's face was very gloomy. However, the battle is not over, and the remaining 20 Longxiao warships have been fully charged and are accelerating to approach the other party. They soon enter the range, accurately locking the enemy and firing the main gun.
Seeing this, Yunyi's expression softened slightly.
The reaction speed of the enemy's warship is very slow. Although it is not known whether it is because of the performance of the warship or the personnel operating the ship, it is simply like a stupid turtle when the Longxiao warship escaped flexibly. No warship successfully dodged with the shooting of 23 main guns. Moreover, the defense capabilities of these warships are not very good, nine of which were directly blown up by energy cannons, and the remaining 14 were also damaged to varying degrees. Then, after launching another wave of space*, the Longxiao warship returned to the fleet in an arc.
After the war, there were only large pieces of debris left in the starry sky.
"Haven't those Longxiao warships... been taken back?" Yunyi asked softly, referring to the ships that were hit.
Gavin shook his head: "Although the internal structure of those warships is barely intact, because the battlefield is too close to the enemy, it was not recovered to avoid casualties. And..." He paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "According to the message sent back from the spacecraft, there are no living soldiers in it. At the same time, not only plutonium, but also plutonium was found in the self-examination of the spacecraft..."
Phoplium? Are you sure?" Yunyi's face once again became very ugly.
Pronium is the most toxic of all elements. If it spreads, 10 mg of plutonium can poison all people on a planet.
Seeing Gavin nodding his head with the same gloomy face, Yun Yi snorted coldly: "What a crazy!"
After saying that, he looked up at the starry sky outside the porthole. The distance was too far away. With his eyesight, he could only see a group of black ships gathered there. His mood became extremely bad at the thought of fighting this group of terrific and lethal enemies next. After a war, and how many federal soldiers were going to die here.
"However, according to the following, we will not lose this battle."
Yunyi shook his head and said, "I know we won't lose. I am very clear about the performance of the dragon battle level. Just the range of the main gun can reach more than twice the Longxiao level. Moreover, the speed of fire of energy weapons is close to the speed of light, and it is difficult for enemies to avoid, but their rate of fire is very slow, so it is certain that we will win this battle. However, in the face of the enemy's attack, if a warship does not have time to escape, the soldiers on the whole ship will be killed..."
Gavin sighed and said, "How can war not kill people? All we can do is avoid casualties.
After a long time, Yunyi asked, "So, do you have any plans next?"
Gavin smiled and said, "The enemy's coach is very calm, so I judge that it is difficult to deal with them. Therefore, when the 14th Fleet arrives, it is also the simplest and most practical way to disintegrate the enemy's power directly from the front.
That's right. The environment here is extremely ordinary, and there is no terrain available at all. Moreover, the other party also has artificial intelligence. It is impractical to form an encirclement or attack, and only the road of frontal attack can be taken.
Four hours later, the 14th Fleet arrived in a hurry from China, when Gavin was ready to fight. With an order, the four dragon battle fleets formed the most suitable umbrella formation for attack and hurriedly pressed towards the fleet of the Dragon Slayer. However, because of the range, the Longxiao-class warship was in the rear and did not directly join the battle.
In order to prevent being intensively shot by enemy's orbital weapons, the federal fleet distribution is extremely scattered, and the distance between ships usually reaches hundreds of kilometers, giving each ship the maximum dodge space.
However, evasion must be carried out in advance, and it will not be too late to dodge until the other party's main gun is full of energy and fired. Therefore, all this depends on Gavin's judgment to accurately issue orders.
This battle cloud wing did not participate in the war, but watched all this silently in the spaceship.
Gavin's command was very strong, and the large-scale pressure of the fleet seemed to make the enemy a little panic, and began to charge the main gun at a very long distance. The first wave of salve was easily dodged by the federal army, and less than 50 warships were hit. The second wave of zig also successfully avoided due to Gavin's precise order and lost about 200 warships. Next, the distance between the two sides has been extremely close, reaching the range of the dragon-class main gun. In an instant, the light produced by the ignit of a total of 60,000 warships of the four fleets illuminated the starry sky. Soon, the central light brain of the flagship calculated the loss of the other party.
"27,000 warships..." Yun Yi sneered, and he was very confident in the power of the Dragon War II. But he was very happy to see this real result.
However, now, the distance between the two sides is very close, and it is a little difficult to successfully avoid the attack of the opponent's main gun. But Gavin's judgment was extremely accurate, and he gave an order whenever the enemy's main gun was about to be fired. Although these four dragon-class fleets are newly trained, the flexible performance of the warship makes up for the lack of experience. As long as they can execute orders at the first time, they can almost avoid them, unless they are really unlucky and happen to hit a galloping projectile.
The enemy's third salvo caused the greatest damage, and more than 2,000 warships were directly hit. For this horrible weapon, even the new armor that can resist the energy erosion of Tianhe cannot be defended.
"Do you want to use an energy shield?" Yunyi muttered, analyzing and thinking rapidly in his mind. Speaking of which, the best defense against this weapon is the energy shield. The atoms generated by the force field generator are used to form an atomic bond with the strontium inclusion (the strontium atoms are wrapped in the crystal structure of water), forming an almost invincible energy barrier. As long as the energy or strontium cladding is not consumed, or the attack ability cannot exceed the replenishment speed of the shield, this energy barrier will not be penetrated and the protected hull will not be damaged.
The technology of energy shield has long been produced, but there has been no mature technology available. Finished products can be produced in laboratories of various countries, but the actual effect is extremely poor. Not to mention resisting such a strong attack, I'm afraid that even the main guns of ordinary warships are difficult to resist and can only weaken part of the attack capacity.
On the one hand, the biggest bottleneck is due to energy. The energy supply method of high-energy blocks is not enough to meet the requirements of high-speed energy barrier. On the other hand, it is the formation efficiency of atomic bonds. Due to technical reasons, it is difficult to make new breakthroughs in this regard. Without dense atomic bonds, the defense of energy shields will be greatly weakened.
The former is not a problem for dragon-class warships that use positive and negative materials to annihilate energy. The main thing that needs to be solved is the latter, and there is no reference information in this regard. If he takes time to study, he can invent it, but it will take at least several years. At present, the war is approaching, and it is too late.
Come to your senses, and the battle on the battlefield is coming to an end.
