The Red Gold Beetle's plasma cannon is extremely powerful, and its range is ten times farther than that of the Bloodhalberd Beetle. One hit is enough to penetrate the main armor of the Polaris frigate, and the frigate will basically lose its combat capability with just one shot.

According to the sensors of the Aegis destroyer, the power of the scarlet beetle's cannon reaches 3.2~3.3, which is much stronger than the 3.0 of the 160mm rail gun.

But the Holy Shield is a heavily armored destroyer after all, and with a length of 300 meters, it is the largest destroyer.

Therefore, when the Scarlet Scarab Beetle's cannon hits the Xinhuo, it will be difficult to cause effective damage unless it hits a vital point.

Although the armor on the port side of the Xinhuo was severely eroded, it only looked serious. In fact, more than half of the armor inside was still intact.

From this we can see the value of the Holy Shield level.

If the Mo Dao class were to take a dozen hits, it wouldn't be able to last long with its maximum defense of 3.2. It would probably be severely damaged in one salvo.

This is also the reason why Lu Feng did not rush to send the Modao class to join the battle.

The Xinhuo and the six red gold beetles in the distance immediately launched a naval gunfire exchange. On one side was the blue flash of the railgun, on the other side was the golden bioplasma, and the beautiful light of death intertwined on the battlefield.

As a powerful Zerg individual, the Scarlet Scarab has less firepower than a human destroyer, but its flexibility is several blocks higher than that of the Holy Shield.

These huge red gold beetles have been flying irregularly to avoid human artillery fire. While dodging, they can also use their back cannons to fire simultaneously to counterattack. This shows that they have evolved a powerful and complete biological system in their bodies, which is enough to survive in high-intensity battles.

Ensure stability.

On the other hand, things are even worse for Holy Shield.

Thick armor will naturally lead to reduced mobility, so the Xinhuo has been hit by dozens of plasma cannons since the beginning of the war. The crew on the ship have been completely numb from the initial nervousness. The skills given to them by the implants are under pressure.

It slowly turned into instinct, and pairs of panicked palms began to become confident and precise.

This is what Lu Feng wants.

Is the Holy Shield level expensive? It is expensive, very expensive!

But in Lu Feng's eyes, an excellent crew is more important than the ship itself!

A damaged ship can be repaired or replaced, but it is difficult to completely rebuild a mature fleet in a short period of time.

An excellent ship crew can burst out 200% of its strength and creativity under pressure. It has magical possibilities such as turning defeat into victory and condensing military souls, which will make the ship have a soul.

The dull unmanned operating system cannot do this.

Not to mention there are psykers among the crew who can perform miracles.

Therefore, this artillery battle was not so much about annihilating the Zerg as it was a major training exercise for Lu Feng. Even if the second wave of Zerg could not be destroyed, the Shen Tang fleet still had to take shape.

What Shen Tang lacks most now is time.

Time passed minute by minute in the long-range firefight, and finally...

"90%...100%! No. 1 ion beam array is charged!"

"emission!"

I saw blue light spots beginning to gather in front of one of the ion beam emission arrays on the bow of the Xinhuo. Then the blue light suddenly flashed, and a dazzling blue beam of light instantly pierced out, and in the blink of an eye, it penetrated a person hiding behind a bunker in the distance.

red scarab beetle.

"The main gun capacitor output is stable! Energy release is 20%...25%..."

"Adjust the focus direction of the main gun and let the beam sweep across the battlefield!"

"yes!"

In the pitch-black space, the blue beam emitted from the bow of the Xinhuo ship began to move horizontally, sweeping towards another red gold beetle not far away. The red gold beetle dodged from the path of the beam as if it was running for its life.

Like the previous one of its kind, it was chopped into two pieces by the hot ion beam.

The bright blue beam of light continued to shuttle across the battlefield.

There were a large number of blood-halberd beetles scattered on the insect swarm bombardment position. As soon as the ion beam came, they immediately dispersed and got out of the way. Some of them were stunned and accidentally hit the beam, and their bodies were directly burned by the powerful energy.

Became ashes.

After 7 seconds, the beam goes out.

The firing array on the bow of the Xinhuo is still glowing with a striking red light, which is the high temperature of the gun muzzle that has not dissipated.

"The main gun irradiation ended in 7.02 seconds, and the energy release was stable throughout the process!

Array No. 1 enters cooling and capacitor recharging begins!

Array No. 2 is fully charged and ready to launch at any time!"

"Well, that's right. Array No. 2 locks the target on its own and fires at will."

Lu Feng smiled slightly and gave the order to fire nonchalantly.

The shot just now had almost no results except for killing a scarlet beetle in the first hit. On the contrary, it also wasted a lot of energy.

But the purpose of this battle is still the same - to train troops.

The most important thing in training is to try!

This shot is better than no shot at all. At least the crew will have experience next time and will be more confident when encountering emergencies.

As for the outcome, just let it happen~

Originally, the two main guns on the bow of the ship were used to attack large ships. Just now they really staged a scene of using cannons to fight mosquitoes. Who allowed Shen Tang to be rich and willful?

Soon the second cannon was fired.

This time, the prepared insect swarm was much smarter. They kept staring at the direction of the two cannons on the bow of the Holy Shield, and they all avoided the main gun's firing range.

Therefore, the results of the second shot were not even as good as the first shot, which was anticlimactic.

This is also expected.

The battle lasted for about half an hour, and Lu Feng ordered a retreat. The Xinhuo reversed the ship and retreated into the space gate behind it. The Blade fleet that went out to fight broke away from the contact as early as the insect swarm gathered and changed to the border.

The upstream fights were all withdrawn at this moment.

In less than two minutes, the battlefield calmed down.

The human fleet disappeared, leaving only the helpless and furious insect swarm.

However……

Just when the insect swarm thought that today's harassment was over, the frenzied human fleet appeared again!

Compared with the previous Xinhuo, which had burnt armor and ink stains, this human warship with the hull number [stqz-0002] has a brand new look, just like the one brand new from the factory.

Yes, it is indeed factory-new, because it is the flagship of the Second Fleet [Lazy Cat]!

Zhang Chunhui on the bridge licked his lips excitedly and loudly issued the attack order, while Lu Feng was lying on the chair behind him calmly, making a video call with Donald.

The Shentang fleet lost all shame and actually started a wheel battle~

There is no other way, the insect swarm can only fight hard.

After all, humans only have one ship. If you are still cowardly, it would be too cowardly.

Humans can rotate, and so can the more numerous Zerg.

Soon, the 6 red scarab beetles from the rear appeared on the front line and fired a salvo with the remaining 4 from the front. Then they took over the bombardment mission of the front, and the remaining 4 returned to the rear mothership for repairs.

The battle on the Lazy Cat also lasted about half an hour.

After arriving at the point, the Lazy Cat was arranged to retreat by Lu Feng, and the flagship of the Third Fleet, the Tianlei commanded by Lu Jiadi, made a brilliant appearance.

Today is destined to be a day when the insects cannot sleep.
