Voyage of the Stars

Because that means extremely close combat. Since possessing No. 1 and No. 2 alloys, the human fleet has been at a disadvantage in close combat for the first time.

But now it is unavoidable. The Tianqin battleship group must engage in close combat with the opponent's squadron, because the consequences of turning to avoid it are even more unacceptable.

Everyone on the Tianqin understands this truth.

"Maintain relative speed, pay attention to maneuver and avoidance, increase the priority of the close-in defense artillery program, increase the computing power allocation by 5 percentage points, and the fleet will rush towards the target center area in a spherical array." As soon as the two fleets came into contact, Yue Yuan made a move Simple instructions.

Although the instructions are simple, the execution is not simple. However, when they first came into contact, the humans on the Tianqin did not move much because the warships engaging the enemy at this time were all unmanned warships controlled by strong artificial intelligence.

The leading warships of both sides had just approached each other to a distance of 23 meters in light seconds, when the leading warships in the human warship cluster began to shoot at their respective targets. I saw the muzzles of the 700,000 warships flickering slightly, as if they were charging thunder, and then they shot out hundreds of thousands of thunderbolts.

These laser beams are visible as they hit, traveling through the void at the speed of light, spanning a distance of 23 light seconds, either passing by the enemy ship, or causing the enemy ship to light up a bright screen of light.

Under the illumination of this light, the battleships that were originally hidden in the darkness on the battlefield appeared one by one. They seemed to appear suddenly. Silver shone in the starry sky, and the originally thin black void seemed to be coated with a layer of silver light. Shiny metallic luster.

The light reflected by the illuminated polarization shields makes these warships look even more majestic. There are seven million warships several kilometers long, wide and high. Although there is no reference object to reflect their hugeness, from the The Tianqin's detector looked over and saw a vast ocean of enemies in the entire direction.

The dark battlefield was illuminated by the contact between the polarization shield and the laser energy beam. After the polarization shield was overloaded and exploded, the shells of the warships were illuminated red by the laser weapons, and then they exploded. light.

After previous battles, the Tianqin battleship cluster has obtained the extreme endurance data of one party's polarization shield in the interstellar trading market. It can withstand about twenty laser energy weapons from human battleships being hit at the same time. This is the critical point. Beyond this amount , its polarization shield will be instantly overloaded, and then the polarization shield system will be paralyzed.

At the same time, not successively.

If there is a time interval between hits, even if there are twenty laser hits, the polarization shield system can gradually recover after buffering, thus resisting these attacks.

Based on these data, each of mankind's current strike formations consists of more than twenty warships. When using laser energy weapons to attack the opponent's warships, their data are exchanged, and the muzzles seem to hit the same landing point.

At a distance of 23 light seconds, it is very difficult to control more than twenty laser beams to hit the same landing point accurately and without error. At least humans can rarely control the battleship by themselves, but with strong artificial intelligence Under overall coordination, human strike formations can achieve an error of 1 kilometer. ,

Although the size of the warships on the interstellar trading market is not completely comparable to that of human warships, they are still sea-level, so the error of 1 kilometer is not too big. Basically, one hit equals all hits.

Humanity has mastered the data on the polarization shields of the Interstellar Trading Market warships through previous battles, and vice versa. Therefore, the Interstellar Trading Market side also formed in the same way when attacking human warships from a long distance.

It's just that there are many more warships in their shooting formation than humans, reaching about 108. However, they know that this number is not actually enough, but any more will affect the flexibility of the formation. Therefore, based on the formation, they adopted the strategy of joint and successive attacks by multiple formations.

The reason is not that humans' polarization shields are much stronger than theirs, but that the armor of human battleships is too powerful.

The interstellar trading market has no idea how many times it has happened that a salvo shot clearly broke the polarization shield of a human warship, but was forcibly resisted by the warship armor.

So this time, the formation strategy was changed.

In such a long-range confrontation, there are actually many tactical details that can be implemented. For example, when maneuvering to avoid maneuvers, try to point the head of the warship in the direction of the local fleet.

This is naturally to reduce the area that our warships face the enemy, so as to reduce the number of people being irradiated by laser energy weapons at the same time, thereby improving survivability.

Of course, this kind of tactical detail is very effective in long-range battles, but in close combat dog fights, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced. After all, no one can predict when and from which direction a beam of laser energy will hit them.

In the shining light of the explosion of battleships, the distance between the battleship clusters of both sides is getting closer and closer. The second and third echelons in their respective arrays also joined the battle, and the Tianqin, which is located at the center of the array, At this time, the first shot against this enemy fleet was also fired.

At this moment, it seems like thousands of lights are shining in the starry sky, and it is like the soundless firecrackers blasting in the dark night of New Year under aerial photography. Light and heat intertwine here, steel and flames bloom here.

The war entered a fierce stage from the beginning.

Here, there are no hospital ships in the game, nor the small ships with different functions in the game. There are just battleships and giant cannons, blooming in the star sea.

The size of the magnetic thruster determines that small warships cannot participate in such a battle. Even if there are small warships, they cannot catch up with the sea-class warships with magnetic thrusters, and their main guns cannot penetrate the polarization shield of the sea-class warships.

The life-and-death battle between two civilizations determines the cruelty of the war. There is no room for mercy, and there is no embodiment of the humanitarian spirit. You can fight while abiding by the rules and not opening fire on the so-called hospital ship.

Doesn't exist, everything is aimed at destroying the other party.

As time goes by, warships from both sides continue to turn into cosmic fireworks under successive attacks, and warships in their respective strike formations are constantly being destroyed. Once a warship in these formations is destroyed, strong artificial intelligence will immediately start from Other rear formations fill in to ensure that one's own side has sufficient firepower.

After a short but fierce confrontation, the Tianqin quickly received the battle loss ratio data of both sides. Like the previous Beihai battleship cluster, the Tianqin battleship cluster also only had a battle loss ratio of one to three.

In fact, at the beginning of the long-distance confrontation, the battle damage ratio between the human warships and the warships from the interstellar trading market once reached one to six. However, as the two sides entered into a dogfight and the introduction of nano-weapons, the battle damage ratio was suppressed.

The Tianqin battleship cluster and the Beihai battleship cluster originally belonged to the first fleet of mankind. There is no difference in the performance and configuration of their battleships, and their strong artificial intelligence is similar, so it is not surprising that they have similar results.
