From black technology to super engineering

Planet Ella, Executor Base No. 31.

The conference room was so quiet that you could hear breathing.

In the projection light screen on the conference table, the missile tail flame that looked like a meteor was accurately captured and reproduced by Zhi Nao. At the same time, Dika also reported the number of enemy missiles.

1100 pieces.

This number greatly exceeded the Execution Corps' estimate - according to predictions, the number of human missiles should be around 600 to 800.

Hall stared at the time prediction in the lower right corner of the screen.

There are still eighteen minutes until the missile strikes.

Looking at the time, Hall exhaled slowly, and then hummed softly: "It seems that humans do hide a lot of things."

"Is it possible that they will attack in multiple waves?" Dirkama said immediately - he recalled the scene of his first battle with humans.

"It's possible, but it's not important." Hall said and looked at Prophet Dieter: "Your Excellency, when will the jammer be released?"

"One minute." Prophet Dieter had already stood up at this time, looking at the star map with burning eyes, and said solemnly: "Since we admit that human computing terminals have super capabilities, the closer they are, the more capable they are of misleading missiles. Tracking - we have to take into account that the enemy will be able to realize that it has been induced, but will not be able to re-target in a short period of time."

"But this time is not as extreme as possible." Prophet Dieter immediately added: "Because when the missile reaches the end, its speed has reached sub-light speed. Even if it re-aims at the target at this time, it cannot complete the lock."

Someone immediately asked: "Why?"

"Because inertia does not allow it, although human weapons are advanced, they still do not exceed the upper limit of science." Prophet Dieter put his hands behind his back, showing strong confidence in his words.

It has been a year since he led the technical support team to Base 31.

During this year, his most important or even only goal was to deal with mankind's elusive missile weapons.

It can be said that no one in the entire empire understands human missiles better than him.

——In the past few years, a quarter of the legion's losses came from human sub-light missile attacks!

Don’t underestimate this quarter. You must know that human tactics change all the time, but when fighting in fleet clusters, there is always a habit, or tactical idea, of launching a wave of missiles first - this is This means that before the fleets of the two armies enter the "honest mutual shooting" distance, the legion will lose a wave first. It not only caused losses, but also created an executive mentality.

Today, the fundamental reason why Hall dares to fight is that after a year of hard work, Prophet Dieter gave a countermeasure of electromagnetic interference + induction.

"There is no doubt that the enemy's primary target must be the orbital ship."

Prophet Dieter pointed to the light curtain ahead and said in a deep voice: "Although we have set up multiple lines of defense to interfere, induce, and intercept beside the orbital ship, we still cannot think that the orbital ship is absolutely safe. On this point, please ask Chief Mr. Commander understands."

Hall's expression was solemn and he nodded heavily. After a moment, a traceless smile flashed in his eyes and he continued to fall into serious silence.

The orbital ship stayed in the Sophie galaxy for more than half a year. Although it did not fire a single shot, he believed that humans must know the power of the orbital ship!

Even if humans don't know, those Kerong people who are already colluding with humans will definitely tell humans.

And the reason why Hall wants to place the orbital ship in front of mankind in advance...

Of course, it is to make humans regard the orbital ship as the most important goal!

Are orbital ships valuable?

Of course it’s precious! There are only two ships in the entire base! Do you think it is precious?

Are orbital ships powerful?

Of course it’s powerful!

When it needs to show its power, it can directly kill the enemy's flagship with one shot at a distance of more than ten light seconds - whether it is a flagship or a "super battleship" - as long as it is a slow-moving battleship, it will be its prey. .

In addition to the long-distance super main gun, it can also continuously output thousands of high-energy super-light particle beams by adjusting the energy dispersion, turning an entire star field into a forbidden area of ​​​​death.

Therefore, in the combat command manual, there are generally only three scenarios for the use of orbital ships.

The first is to destroy the enemy's indestructible fixed space defenses, such as underground space defense stations built on large asteroids, dwarf planets, satellites, and some whimsical purely man-made space defense fortresses.

The second type is used to open up the situation and destroy the enemy's flagship and super weapons of the same size.

The third type is to defend and act as a space fortress worth one thousand.

Therefore, when Dika was in trouble, he begged Hall to dispatch the orbital ship, but Hall did not agree - it was completely meaningless to dispatch the orbital ship at that time.

It wasn't until... humans began to gather all their forces and began to confront each other in the Sophie Galaxy, and Hall finally determined the biggest threat to the human fleet, that he sent out the orbital ship.

As for today's two orbital ships, Hall does not expect them to play a big role.

The most fundamental thing is to use these two orbital ships to attract mankind's most unreasonable first wave of missile offensive!

To attack the orbital ship, you must not only go through layers of interception by the main battleships ahead, but also be intensively intercepted, electromagnetic shielded and induced by the frigate group when approaching the orbital ship!

Of course, Hall knew that Prophet Dika's warning was reasonable, but if it could absorb a large number of enemy missiles and save the main battleship as much as possible, then what's the problem if the orbital ship... is gone?

What he wants to fight is a battle of annihilation, and the orbital ship is useless here except for bluffing-unless the enemy can be brought into the orbital ship's killing range and dispersed at the same time.

Of course, this is also one of the preliminary tactics.

But he never expected to win this battle with orbital ships!

The conference room fell silent again, and Hall's expression gradually calmed down.

But his hands behind his back slowly clenched, and he kept raising his fingers one by one according to time.

Time flows slowly, and in the night sky, the tail flames of human missiles are no longer visible - this shows that humans have changed their propulsion and entered a period of full acceleration.

Lianna also stood up. She came behind Hall, stretched out her hand, and gently held Hall's fist.

She knew that at this time, although Hall was acting unusually calm, he was extremely nervous in his heart.

——This battle is really important!

It is not only a summary and attempt of Hall's combat thoughts in the past half year, but also related to the entire base...

No! Not just the base! It is a decisive battle related to the future of the entire legion and even the entire Holy Empire!

There is no doubt that everyone here believes that human beings are the strongest enemy that the sacred civilization has encountered in these ten thousand years!

However, many of the current top leaders of the Holy Empire still have an optimistic attitude. They believe that the early defeat was more because the base on the 31st underestimated the enemy in the early war, which led to the destruction of the entire fleet. As long as Hall plays hard, he will definitely be able to win - which is why Hall only secured two bases to assist.

According to Hall's vision, he wants to establish a response center consisting of at least five bases, using the Sophie Galaxy or the Dika Galaxy as the battlefield to ensure a foolproof victory while turning humanity into a grinding mill that drives the empire's technological progress. Knife and stone, and then slowly reshaped the entire decaying empire.

Now, Hall has a "super luxurious lineup" of 2,000 combat warships, plus two orbital ships, to deal with the mere 500 human warships - now it has 800 combat warships - just this configuration itself , you can completely shut the mouths of those people.

Therefore, Lianna knew that Hall was not seeking a "complete victory", but was seeking to eliminate the enemy's existing strength and at the same time show the enemy's power to the entire empire - yes, Hall knew from the beginning that the fleet would There are losses, and there will be big losses.

But being able to accept big losses does not mean that Hall can accept failure - although failure can indeed awaken those "silly turtles", all of Hall's ambitions and ideals almost stop there.

Therefore, this is a war that can only be won.

And it’s a victory that can only develop according to the script written by Hall!

Once the script comes to an end, Hall can gain unprecedented glory and power while awakening the corrupt Supreme Council! Implement his will and thoughts throughout the entire legion!

Therefore, she knew that in the Prophet's Hall at this time, her mentor was also waiting quietly, looking at this star map that spanned hundreds of millions of light years.

Lianna pursed her lips and put her hand into Hall's palm. She carefully felt the warmth from her palm and felt Hall's pulse.

She was silent, just looking at the arm that had successfully lost weight and gained fitness, and the fat now turned into a solid and reliable mountain-like arm, an untimely but uncontrollable surge suddenly arose in her mind - when the supreme ceremony, when this solid When the mountains and peaks become one with yourself, you should have the most wonderful happiness in the entire universe, right?

Time still passes like eternity.

Gradually, Lianna felt the palm of her hand getting warmer and warmer, and Hall held her hand harder and harder.

Then...she saw Hall's shoulders relax and he began to slowly adjust his breathing.

She knew he was about to give an order.

At this moment, the entire conference room suddenly lit up for a moment.

The next second, the entire projection screen turned white.

Liana only felt a sudden pain in her hand!

"what happened?"

Hall's breath caught in his chest. He shook hands vigorously and his eyes quickly fell on the light screen.

"Is there something wrong with the sensor? Or is there something wrong with the projection device?"

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Dika extremely nervously - he was wearing a smart brain to control the overall situation.

"I don't know, let me check!" Dika's voice was trembling, and his hands quickly began to slide on the control panel.

Then...his pupils froze instantly.

On the battleship sequence display, the two numbers at the top have turned gray.

Dika's body began to tremble involuntarily.

The next second, a synthetic voice without any emotion echoed in the conference room.

"Commander, please pay attention."

"The No. 1 orbital ship is offline."

"The No. 2 orbital ship is offline."

As the system beep fell, the projection gradually returned to normal.

I saw in the depths of the two battleship groups, each showed a group of light that had not completely disappeared.

"Why?"

Hall's eyes widened and he roared instantly!

Everyone was stunned!

Why?

They also want to know why!

Why did two of our orbital ships explode when the enemy's missiles still had at least two minutes?

At this moment, everyone's minds were blank.

Even Prophet Dieter, who knew the most about human missiles, froze in place with his mouth open, his eyes full of confusion.

At this moment, it flashed through his mind whether there was a problem with the orbital ship and the cause of the self-destruction, but it didn't take him a second to overturn this speculation - because it was impossible for both orbital ships to have problems at the same time. .

Not only is it impossible for two orbital ships to have problems at the same time, even if there is a problem when crossing the artificial jump point, which is the most likely to go wrong... that was at least half an hour ago!

Or... a mysterious force entered the orbital ship and planted a time bomb in the orbital ship!

But no matter which one... there is no explanation! Why...time is controlled so exquisitely.

"Why? Who can tell me why?"

Hall's roar echoed.

While roaring, he let go of Lianna's hand, and at this moment, his mind went blank.

"Bang!" His fists instantly hit the conference table.

No one answered him.

Everyone was frozen in the same position as five seconds ago, staring blankly at the star map on the light screen.

Then... right under everyone's eyes, a large flash of light began to rise in the fleet.

Just like those naughty stars in the night, twinkling in the two fleets as huge as the stars, announcing their existence and...disappearing.

The emotionless synthesized voice sounded again.

"Frigate No. 18 is offline."

"Frigate No. 27 is offline."

"Destroyer No. 16 is offline."

"Destroyer No. 79 is offline."

"Destroyer No. 38 is offline."

"No. 65..."

The voice of the command system is like the roll call of hell, coldly announcing the death sentence.

Hall's eyes were about to burst into flames. He leaned forward, his arms supporting his entire body like iron pillars, and his eyes fixed on the lower right corner of the light curtain.

The lower right corner still shows the moment of the nearest missile's attack.

1 minute and 26 seconds!

"Who knows what attacked us?"

Hall slowly raised his head, his eyes slowly swept across the faces of his subordinates, and finally stopped on the face of Prophet Dieter.

"Dieter, where are the laws of physics you're talking about?"

Prophet Dieter looked back at him with a blank expression.

It was an attack method that had never been seen before and could not be discovered.

How does he know what it is?

At this moment, an almost crying voice sounded behind Hall.

"Hall, intercept!"

Lianna held her left hand and gritted her teeth to remind Hall.

Hall's tension and outburst just now only made her feel the pain in her hand as if her bones were about to be broken, and then...

Her heart will also be broken.
