I Am the Swarm

Chapter 291 Interception

"But what if the opponent's small and medium-sized combat units ignore the fighter planes and go straight to the warships?" Masai thought of another question.

"We have already considered this. We found that the missile attack has limited damage to the opponent, and the close-in defense artillery of the attack array is more effective in killing them. Although they finally broke through the firepower net in the last war, it was only because of the help of The cover of our fighter planes, coupled with the fact that the number of attack formations is too small. Therefore, we have dismantled the missile launchers, installed more close-in defense guns, and intercepted their approach through more ferocious firepower."

"And if they ignore the fighter group, the fighter group itself can provide powerful fire support. Under the double crossfire attack, they will be destroyed more quickly." Khamis talked eloquently.

Then Massai thought of a few more questions, which were all solved one by one. In the end, the Star Lazer blockade plan was approved unanimously.

But what the Rickens didn't know was that Rowan and several blades watched the whole process of this highly confidential closed-door meeting from the perspective of Grandpa Cross.

"As expected, the one who understands you best is your enemy. Although we have already realized many shortcomings, they are far from as detailed as what the Rickens summed up." Rowan laughed.

"Master Juggernaut, then shall we move on?" Sarah asked.

"Why not? We can't be flawless, and we can't avoid war just because our weaknesses are mastered by them. Our intelligence warfare crushes the Rikens, and the advantage of knowing the enemy and the enemy is enough to offset these flaws. And our battle plan is originally I don’t care about these, this time it’s just practice, I hope you can gain more experience in war.” Luo Wenyu said earnestly, once the territory controlled by the swarm expands in the future, he will not be able to do everything by himself, these blades will You must have the ability to stand alone.

Afterwards, the situation encountered by the Zerg Swarm troops on the orbit of Lazer was just like what was discussed in the internal meeting of the Rickon tribe.

More than 5,000 Taikoo-class ships were intercepted by more than 800 Riken warships. Although there was a huge difference in numbers, many of the first Taikoo-class ships that arrived on the battlefield were transport-type, accounting for half of them.

Most of these transport-type Taikoo-class are only equipped with an electromagnetic gun, and the long-range firepower is not strong.

In terms of body size, the Taikoo class is generally only more than 500 meters long. Because during the voyage across the galaxy, there is very little energy that can be absorbed. Even if they have an energy supply organ such as an atomic furnace, most of the energy produced by it is used for power output, and some of it needs to be delivered to small and medium-sized animals in the body. Space octopus, used to ensure their minimum consumption.

After all, these little guys don't have an atomic furnace, and they can't be exposed outside the body during the voyage.

So during the voyage, they didn't grow much. On the contrary, the first few batches of Archaic class that arrived at the outskirts of the Rickon galaxy first, because they had been idle for a while, their body size had grown a lot, but they were only close to the level of 600 meters.

However, the length of the warships of the Riken tribe is generally more than a kilometer, and there are even new models that exceed 1,500 meters, and the weapon systems on them have also been upgraded. Therefore, although the number is small, the firepower is not weak at all.

However, the plan of using speed, range, and rate of fire to continuously consume the swarm troops as expected by the Ricken tribe has undergone some changes.

After years of development and independent research, Zerg has gradually caught up with its shortcomings in computing.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the earliest capture of the cat-eared spaceship and the capture of the artificial intelligence Celia on it. Through reverse derivation of the software and hardware technology of the Riken Tribe computer, and with its theory, pioneering and innovative, the Zerg Swarm finally developed a biological computer.

This biological computer, together with the cooperation of the knights, formed the new fire control system of the swarm.

This computer was researched in the third year of the army's expedition to the Riken galaxy, and then went through several rounds of testing. Therefore, the few waves of Taikoo that arrived in the Riken galaxy in the early stage did not have this configuration.

Fortunately, the biological computer itself is just a plug-in module. The insect swarm gathered resources and produced many in a short period of time, and transported them to the front line along with the follow-up troops.

And it was precisely because the Primordial Class transporting biological computers arrived in the Rickon galaxy, after it was assigned and all staff were configured, the swarm launched the attack.

In other words, the more than 5,000 Taikoo-class now have all equipped with a new fire control system.

In fact, compared with the energy and light weapons of the Rickens, the electromagnetic gun of the swarm, although the projectile or energy is fired, the flying speed of the projectile is much slower than that of the energy.

However, because the kinetic energy consumption of electromagnetic projectiles is relatively low, in essence, the range of the electromagnetic gun is much higher than that of the energy weapons of the Rickens.

It is difficult to hide the 800 ships of the first space fleet of the Rickens in space, not to mention that they do not have the stealth technology of the swarm.

The new fire control system of the Taigu class quickly locked on to the Rickon fleet, and then the energy was gathered, and a round of shells was fired.

Although half of the more than 5,000 Taikoo-class are transport types, the total number of electromagnetic guns loaded exceeds 8,000. This round of more than 8,000 solid projectiles with a diameter of more than one meter, carrying incomparable kinetic energy, flew towards the Riken fleet overwhelmingly.

The two fleets are currently separated by 100,000 kilometers, and the electromagnetic artillery projectile is flying towards the Riken fleet at a speed of 100KM/S. It is estimated that it will take seventeen minutes to hit the target.

Of course, this is when the target stays in place.

Will the Corican fleet stand still and wait to be beaten? That is obviously impossible.

After all, the Riken tribe is also an advanced civilization. They have already analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. The range of their own weapons is not as good as that of the other side, which is already in the calculation.

But sometimes the range is not the key to determining the outcome, such as now, the flight time of the projectile is as high as seventeen minutes. If it was a sneak attack on a Riken battleship in a stationary state, the battleship might not be able to evade such an attack within seventeen minutes from starting the engine to dodging. But at this time, the fleet was already in a state of high-speed movement. Even if the battleship was not deep and flexible due to its large size, seventeen minutes was enough to avoid the Taikoo-class bombardment.

When the Taikoo-class electromagnetic guns gathered energy, the latest monitoring instruments of the Rickens detected it. Lieutenant General Khamis, the commander of the First Fleet, ordered the fleet to evade the shelling urgently.

Seventeen minutes later, dense projectiles flew into the distance from 200 kilometers above the side of the fleet.

A few minutes later, the projectiles from the second round of bombardment flew by the fleet again a hundred kilometers away.

Afterwards, the Rickan fleet escaped several rounds of bombardment, and the fleet as a whole advanced 30,000 kilometers forward, and the Swarm Taikoo class had already entered the range of the Ricken battleship's main guns.
