I Am the Swarm

Without the advantage of protection, this kind of close-range firefight must be carefully planned for energy distribution.

"Everyone has it, start the engine, maintain the formation, and turn the front left of the bow 50 degrees! Tell the ships to ensure the energy supply of the main gun! Next, give priority to the supply of the engine system, and use the secondary gun to shoot all the remaining energy to me!"

The attack effect of the energy beam on the Doki battleship was not ideal, perhaps because the attack position just now was the bow of the battleship, where besides the repelling position, the reactive armor made of high energy resistance material was also unusually thick.

Among the civilizations contacted by the Duoqi civilization, various energy cannons are relatively mainstream attack methods. Like electromagnetic guns, ordinary civilizations may place such weapons in the planetary defense system, but they are rarely equipped on battleships. Because its shells are a serious burden for the long-distance patrol fleet.

For example, tens of thousands of Taikoo-level salvos fired by the insect swarm, and tens of thousands of shells were fired. After a few rounds of salvos, a battleship was wiped out. Leaving aside the value of these projectiles, how to replenish them quickly is a big problem. It may be that the insect swarm with the replenishment method of creep can withstand such consumption.

Therefore, when the Duoqi warship was designed, the reactive armor installed was naturally focused on protecting against energy attacks.

"Your Highness, the damage to the flagship is 11%, and the reactive armor at the bow position is seriously damaged. Among them, the reactive armor No. 3 and No. 5 were penetrated, and several cabins were damaged afterwards. 31 crew members were sucked out of the cabin. Emergency rescue. But the overall structure is intact, and the damaged cabin has been urgently sealed." As Diallo's adjutant, Asrit calmly organized the received information and reported it to Diallo.

"Let the Qishaya focus on covering the damaged parts of the flagship! Without protective clothing, those crew members are probably in danger. Send a few drones to take a look, so as not to affect the fleet's actions for a while."

"receive!"

"How many warships did we lose just now, and how many warships can't keep up with the fleet's actions?" Diallo rubbed his head. At such a short distance just now, the power of the energy weapon was kept at the maximum, which is equivalent to taking full damage. I am afraid the loss is considerable. serious.

"Your Highness, the statistics are out. In the round of attack just now, we were destroyed a total of 34 warships, and severely damaged 13 ships that were incapacitated."

The damage was much lower than expected, and Diallo figured out part of the reason after thinking about it for a while.

The overall angle of the fleet just now is that the bow of the ship faces the direction of the attack source, and the engines are mainly concentrated at the rear of the battleship. If the energy beam hits the position of the main engine, it basically penetrates the entire battleship. There are even more.

I am afraid that those warships that have lost their mobility are not far from being killed, and there is no rescue value.

But even so, Diallo estimated before that under the cover of firepower just now, the loss may exceed a hundred warships. Now the actual loss is less than half of his psychological budget. It seems that the energy weapons on the swarm side , not as powerful as he imagined.

This is good news.

"Your Highness, the charging is complete!" Ashlit suddenly said.

"Fire!"

The guns of the Duoqi fleet roared, and the second round of strikes had already been launched, but there was no movement from the swarm.

"It seems that the efficiency of Zerg in charging weapons is far lower than ours, which is good news." Diallo thought about it and calculated silently.

"Athrit, use our reactive armor on the front right side to take the second round of Zerg attacks. Give those damaged battleships five minutes to evacuate, and if they haven't boarded the ship when the time is up, then they can ask for blessings!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

On the other side, the swarm.

After the second round of attacks.

"How long will it take for our weapons to recharge?" Sarah's tone was emotionless. This is not a real-time strategy simulation game with Dou Bizhuo, and her mentality quickly adjusted.

"Your Majesty, the fastest one will take a minute."

Sarah nodded: "Record all the data of the energy weapon. The scientific research department needs these things."

"do not worry."

It was the first appearance of an energy weapon. Because it had been hidden for a long time, it had only been tested on a small scale in the experimental field deep underground. But no matter the experimental distance or other things there, it cannot be compared with actual combat.

It is the first time to shoot a target hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, so some flaws are unavoidable, and the supporting radar fire control system has been docked with electromagnetic guns before. , also need a large amount of data support.

This is also the reason why the Duoqi fleet suffered far less damage than expected after a hard round of firepower.

But now that the new equipment has been revealed, every attack will generate a large amount of data to be recorded. I believe that with the reserves of the swarm in scientific research, the energy cannon system will have a complete set to cooperate with it in the next war.

"Your Majesty, some of the opponent's battleships were damaged, and the personnel were sucked out of the ship before they could evacuate in time. These are some video pictures we captured." A Blade reported.

"What is this? Why is it so ugly!" The corners of Sarah's serious face twitched slightly, bombarded by Rowan's aesthetics, Sarah's aesthetics had changed from fur, beards, and long-tailed ratmen to exoskeleton armor and long legs.

Although there are many grotesque bugs and creatures in the swarm, none of them are humanoid. The Riken people I have come into contact with before, except for the slight difference in skin color and Juggernaut's aesthetics, other aspects are quite consistent.

But this new race was a little too much, the cracked red skin, three eyes that formed a line, made her mentality a little bit broken.

He quickly sent some pictures and videos to Master Juggernaut to share, then forcibly adjusted his mentality back, and looked towards the direction of the battlefield seriously again.

If Sarah complained in her heart and let the self-proclaimed handsome men and beautiful women Diallo and Aslite know, it might have a good mocking effect, leading to some mistakes in their command.

At this time, another party was staring at each other.

They are the Liken tribe who are drinking melon seeds and drinking, and watching the show. When the Zerg Railgun was scrapped, they all thought the Zerg was going to be over. But they didn't expect that the energy cannon suddenly flashed by the swarm almost blinded their dog's eyes. The surging energy beam and the range far exceeding their energy cannon severely damaged their self-confidence.

If the insect swarm had revealed this method early, they would not have persisted until now. It turned out that they had been making trouble for a long time, and they had been teasing them all the time. From the beginning, the two sides were not on the same level, and they didn't even have the ability to force them to exert their full strength.
