From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Under Seris's assignment, Amber's instructions were quickly passed on to the designated ship.

Each warship in the rearguard fleet, while maintaining their speed and course, activated the multi-purpose launch silos arranged in the middle of their hulls - this is also a common design for current human warships.

From battleships and super flagships to destroyers and frigates, they are all actually similar in terms of overall structure and weapon group deployment design ideas.

The heavy particle cannon or pseudo-heavy particle cannon (usually referred to as the low-power heavy particle cannon on the frigate) as the main gun is, without exception, arranged at the bow of the ship, allowing the warship to maintain the projection of the bow to face the enemy when firing. attitude.

Next are the high-energy lasers, charged particle cannons and electromagnetic reconnection cannons arranged on the ship. These weapons are usually close to the limit slots of the ship and can almost be integrated with the ship in non-combat conditions. It is integrated into one body, and will be activated and unfolded after entering the battle.

Although this design controls the projection surface of the ship's bow to a large extent, the problem that comes with it is that these 'secondary weapons' cannot fire at the same time. Even if the battleship tilts at some angles, the rear and side ships The secondary weapon set on the body has a range of fire, but it can only guarantee that one side can attack.

After the main gun and secondary weapon group, there are missiles that have gradually become a supporting role after entering the era of space warfare. The vastness, clean background of the universe, and the increasingly longer combat distance have made this traditional weapon almost lose its relevance. The penetration effect is achieved.

Therefore, the missiles on various warships in this era, in addition to retaining some heavy anti-ship missiles used for "lottery", are more multi-purpose warheads with more functions, such as scattering gel, high-density Interference chaff clouds or IR/UV resistant smoke.

Even nuclear bombs equipped with nuclear warheads are used more for defensive operations rather than directly attacking the enemy.

But even so, this type of missile has the highest flexibility of use among shipborne weapons.

The vertical launch system, which originated in the era of the Blue Star Navy, has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. Although various new technologies have been added, the principles and advantages have not changed much.

These multi-purpose missile silos, centered on the central axis of the ship and arranged around the middle of the ship, allow the warship to launch various missiles and even plasma torpedoes without being affected in any scene and in any attitude. There is no need to adjust the hull attitude.

The only problem is that compared to missiles fired straight away, these missiles fired from the middle of the ship take longer and consume additional power to adjust their trajectory and point their course towards the target they are locked on.

But this shortcoming seems a bit insignificant when the missile itself is difficult to penetrate and is mostly used for chores.

Just like the current rearguard warships of the Atlas fleet, while they strictly maintain their formation and speed, the multi-purpose launch silo in the middle of the ship spits out missiles one after another as if they are free.

These warheads were filled with high-density jamming chaff clouds and jamming smoke missiles. After simply adjusting their course, they quickly flew towards the rear of the fleet, and soon exploded evenly to form a large ball like a curtain. Like a 'shielding layer'.

At the same time, the Atlas fleet's process of 'covering and covering' has also been optimized by Amber. It is not spread out in one go like the current federation, empire or civilian armed forces, but the personality is controlled on the ship. With assistance, continuous delivery is carried out according to a certain pattern, so that the 'shielding and covering' can last longer under the same consumption.

Of course, only these ten-year, fifty-year and century-old ‘veterans’ in the Atlas fleet who have been upgraded by Lilith can provide sufficient computing power to assist in calculations during the battle.

On the bridge of the USS Intrepid, the flagship of the Federation Navy's First Fleet, Marshal Trafalgar and Admiral Carroll naturally learned of the Atlas Fleet's tactical cover-up immediately.

As soon as the high-density jamming chaff cloud and anti-infrared/ultraviolet jamming smoke spread, only a large jamming screen remained in the federal fleet's radar image and optical window.

In addition to knowing that the Atlas fleet was ahead, the reconnaissance teams of each ship suddenly lost all access to other information. Has the enemy fleet begun to change orbit? Perform emergency acceleration? Are you adjusting the axis 180 degrees to prepare for an attack?

This information can be said to be completely unknown.

"Marshal, what does the other party want to do?"

Admiral Carroll looked at the 'shielding layer' that was constantly forming in front of the fleet and asked with some confusion:

"From the most direct perspective, the other party just wants to prevent us from continuing to conduct reconnaissance on the fleet. In other words, they don't want us to figure out their next movements, if that's the case."

Before Admiral Carroll finished speaking, the tactical information coordinator suddenly spoke up, interrupting his next words.

"Report, signs of a nuclear explosion have been detected in front of the fleet!"

At the same time as the tactical information coordination officer reported, the processed optical image on the main screen of the bridge also appeared simultaneously with what he reported.

Dozens of nuclear bombs suddenly detonated simultaneously from the back side of the front 'shielding layer', and a dazzling wall of light also appeared in front of the Federation Navy's First Fleet. Tens of seconds later, as if at preset intervals, Another round of nuclear bomb explosions.

Seeing this scene, Admiral Carroll couldn't help but frowned: "Now even the neutrino scan is useless."

"Let all fleets be alert. The other side should be making a move, but I really can't judge what will happen next."

Marshal Trafalgar also frowned and said. Although his years of experience have warned him that 'the kid in front of him is going to play tricks', he still couldn't accurately predict what Amber wanted to do.

'Does the other side want to speed up the jump retreat? '

Please...you...collect_6_9_book_bar (six//nine//book//bar)

Marshal Trafalgar overturned this idea as soon as it came up, because in his opinion Amber was definitely not such a commander.

And with Griezmann already holding back the Atlas fleet on the front line, Amber wanted to open up the situation, so she had to do something here.

Destroy the proton annihilation bomb assembly center, or destroy his elite fleet, or "I want them all". These are all options for Amber, but the only option is not to evacuate with the fleet, because once Amber does this, he will completely lose the initiative.

"What do you want to do, Mr. Amber?"

Marshal Trafalgar felt that he was getting excited for the first time in a long time. He was not so excited even when he led the peak federal navy to invade the Star Dragon Empire.

The old naval marshal suddenly realized at this moment that perhaps the young man on the flagship of the opposite fleet might be the "strong enemy" he had been waiting for for many years.
