Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 330 Fleet First Battle
According to the memories of the Black Knight, the Lasan were a warlike race, aggressive by nature.

Especially now that the Lasan people have become exiles, their desire for the colony will be unprecedentedly strong, and they are determined to win the Skyrim Star.

From the moment they discovered that Skyrim was a beautiful and habitable planet, the two parties were no longer at odds between Oracle mission subjects.

It is an outright existential contradiction, almost irreconcilable.

Then, there is only one battle between the two sides!
……

In fact,
The Shentang Fleet detected the abnormal space readings two hours ago. However, due to the long distance of the Lasan exiled fleet, the optical image did not reach the fleet until two hours later.

therefore,

When the image of the Lasanian fleet appeared on the screen, the Lasanian fleet was no longer in that position.

Subsequent images continued to come, and the human side maintained continuous monitoring. However, after a short rest, the Lasan fleet flashed and disappeared out of thin air.

They disappeared from the spot.

The United Fleet was immediately surprised, not sure whether the opponent had used some optical stealth method, or directly entered the state of warp speed.

As the overlord of a star field, there is no doubt that the Lasan people have mastered the most basic interstellar travel technology.

The human side didn't have it themselves, but it didn't prevent them from guessing about the actions of the Lasan people, and there were envious discussions.

however,
Not long after entering space, the parties lacking the corresponding sensitivity have not realized a serious problem-1 warp speed can reach 1 times the speed of light!
That is,

If the Lasanian fleet two hours ago was heading towards Tianji, then they should have arrived at the same time as the optical image arrived!

"Level [-] combat readiness! The space sensor is at its maximum power, fully searching for warp ripples in the Sky IV star field!"

Realizing the problem, Lu Feng immediately shouted anxiously.

In the Combined Fleet,
Advanced space sensors capable of detecting warp fluctuations are only equipped on the Akatsuki and Firewood, but correspondingly, only these two ships are capable of FTL flight.

The Firefire uses a mass effect field, and the Dawn uses a warp drive.

Soon, there was a slight response on the sensor.

After the other ships lost track of the Lathans, the Akatsuki vaguely detected a still-dissipated space ripple spreading on the edge of Skyrim IV's orbit, which was the position where the Lathans fleet left the warp speed.

Due to the existence of the gravitational well that Skyrim IV cannot circumvent, it is impossible for the opponent to warp directly to the United Fleet's face, but it is still possible to close the distance and launch a surprise attack.

"Immediately notify the friendly forces to arm their defenses, our fleet is assembled and ready to attack at any time!"

Discovering that the enemy fleet has also reached the orbit of Skyrim IV, without knowing its specific tactical intentions, Lu Feng chose to plan for the worst.

——that is, a full-scale fleet confrontation broke out directly between the two sides.

That will be a tragic battle!

And as a defender, the United Fleet has more to worry about.

In terms of the scale of a space fleet battle, as long as the angle is right, the opponent can completely rely on warp speed maneuvers, and then project a large-mass projectile to the sky star at the edge of the gravity well.

Just like the Arachi Zerg sending meteorites to the moon and the earth!
As long as the projectile does not burn out in the atmosphere, it may cause terrible damage to the surface of the sky. At this time, the technical gap between the two sides will be tested. The faster the kinetic energy weapon of the attacker, the harder it is for the defender to intercept.

Unfortunately, the Lathans happen to specialize in kinetic weapons...

But the good news is,
The Black Knight said that the Lathans have not yet mastered mass effect technology, so electromagnetic weapons are generally relatively cumbersome.

Therefore,
If they wanted to cause enough damage, they would at least need to use electromagnetic shaft cannons from units above cruisers, so that the acceleration distance of the projectiles was barely enough.

In this way, in this battle, it is necessary to keep an eye on the opponent's 6 capital ships and prevent them from firing at the Skyrim Star.

to this end,

The battle with the back of the Tianji star puts great restrictions on the Shentang fleet. In order to avoid the situation of being timid, we must take the initiative to attack!

"Order, warm up all the engines of Fleet 1~4, lock on the position of the Lasan Fleet and calculate the interception route, let's go up!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

The Shentang fleet immediately assembled, and the engines were shining brightly, as if they were about to burst out in the next second, bringing surging power to the entire ship that could reach a quarter of the speed of light.

"Report, the Lasan fleet has been successfully locked! Wait, their fleet is reduced by half! And ours... are all combat ships!"

Lu Feng immediately understood.

People on Earth don't want Tianjixing to be beaten, and the other party, as an exile fleet with a family and a family, naturally has to protect their own lifelines.

The other party must have divided their forces in the middle of the warp speed. The part belonging to the immigration ship went to nowhere, and the other part of the invasion fleet appeared directly on the edge of Skyrim IV's orbit.

The two armies are now facing each other across the wide meteorite belt.

"The fleet is attacking, let's go up!"

The sudden appearance of the powerful fleet of the Lasan people immediately shocked the other human ships. Before they were ready, the fleet battle was about to start.

Luckily, Lu Feng didn't expect them to be on top, it would be nice if he could keep an eye on the pirates who were about to fight the autumn wind.

The Shentang fleet moved quickly. Because the ships were uniform in shape, they assembled neatly. It didn't take long before they were blocked in front of the Lasang people, preventing the opponent's fleet from getting any closer.

With 120 interceptors and more drones flying around the fleet, it looks impressive.

Now, the opposing sides are located directly above the plane of the meteorite belt of Skyrim IV.

The defending side has 1 assault aircraft carrier, 4 Charon-class cruisers, 12 Aegis-class destroyers, and 120 interceptors. They are also gathering to join the Shenzhou Fleet on the battlefield.

The attacking side has 1 battlecruiser, 4 cruisers, 8 destroyers, 44 frigates, 108 escort boats, and no fighters.

Because of the division of troops by the opponent, there is not much difference between the two sides in the comparison of capital ships.

Without too many beeps, the Lasan people took advantage of the fact that the reinforcements of the Shentang fleet had not caught up, and provoked the war first.

"A high-energy convergence reaction has been detected, and the opponent's main gun is charging!"

"Hmph, don't be polite to them. The formation of fighter planes entered the meteorite belt below and approached in a roundabout way. The drone group attacked head-on. All the forward firepower of the fleet locked the enemy cruiser No. 1. Listen to my order and prepare to focus fire!"

The war begins.

The two sides, who were still restrained just now, immediately opened fire, and the naval guns poured fire on each other desperately.

The shape of the Lasan warship is long and narrow, and it feels like it is covered with barbs, wedge-shaped gullies and horn-like structures from the beginning to the end. Among these messy shapes, some are antennas, some are muzzles, some are attitude engines, and some are materials. , personnel, one of the cooling interfaces...

In short, it is difficult for human beings to really distinguish the key parts of each other without understanding.

"The other party's aesthetics is really appalling."

Lu Feng on the Daybreak said so.

According to the Lasan information provided by the Black Knight, the Lasan's design concept for the ship is to face the bombardment head-on.

They designed the hull to be extremely long and narrow, and arranged most of the directional artillery buried in the hull around the central axis in order to exert the strongest firepower at the bow while minimizing the area of ​​the forward bombardment.

This design is very useful when large fleets shoot each other long-range, somewhat similar to the space version of queuing and shooting.

As long as the Lasan people can keep the bow of the ship facing the enemy synchronously during the battle, they can exert intensive firepower far exceeding the enemy's and make most of the shells that hit the front miss.

It was this ferocity of fire that tore apart the weak Zigorian fleet when it bullied the Zigorians.

The black knight still has a fresh memory of that terrifying scene at that time, and the emotions in the memory were clearly transmitted to Zhang Chunhui's mind through telepathy, and Zhang Chunhui then specially emphasized this point to Lu Feng.

After Lu Feng heard this, although he paid attention to it, he was far from being afraid.

As a ship expert, he clearly understands a truth - the more he pursues the ultimate performance in design, the other aspects of the ship will become weak points, which will explode at critical moments.

It's not that the Lasan people have suffered a lot.

In fact, the biggest loss they suffered was against the Zerg. The Zerg would not engage in an array battle with them. The swarm rushed directly into the blind spot of the Lasan fleet, and then easily tore them apart.

In addition,

Due to the slender hull, it is obviously impossible for the Lasan warships to carry any fighter force without a dedicated mothership.

The more than 100 escort ships in their fleet are the smallest combat units of this civilization. The design concept engraved in their DNA is to go big, and they have never been too cold about small things.

Therefore, Lu Feng has clearly realized that this is a powerful but cumbersome extreme fleet, which is far easier to deal with than those comprehensive and balanced fleets.

However, before taking further countermeasures, it is still necessary to try the opponent's weight first.

Since the black knight was not high enough, he could only provide information on destroyers and frigates, so as a test, Lu Feng set the target of the first fleet fire on a cruiser of the opponent.

The two sides were heading towards each other, and when the distance was 5 kilometers, the Lasan fleet opened fire. The lights on the bow of the ship flickered, and it was obvious that many electromagnetic projectiles had already flown.

however……

"avoid."

There were only two words in response to the other party.

This distance is too far, so far that it will take at least a few minutes for the opponent's projectile to fly over. Unless the blind cat encounters a dead mouse, it is impossible for the Shentang fleet to be hit by the opponent's shelling.

as predicted.

After the Shentang fleet changed its course slightly, all the projectiles that arrived after "slowly" flying for several minutes fell through the air, and none of them hit.

Seeing this, the opponent didn't fire any more. Apparently, the Lasang people were also probing, wanting to see if Lu Feng's side was strong on the outside but on the inside.

The fleets of both sides continued to accelerate, and the distance between them was shrinking rapidly.

It is impossible for the oracle to choose opponents with vastly different technologies. Therefore, judging from the strongest electromagnetic gun technology that can accelerate to "hundreds of kilometers per second" on both sides, the combat distance of thousands of kilometers is already the limit.

The spaceship continues to accelerate, and the huge warship soars faster and faster under the impetus of the high-thrust sub-light speed engine, up to 1/4 the speed of light.

At this point, it is the same for aircraft carriers as small as starfighters.

The difference is that a flexible starfighter can quickly reach its maximum speed or stop quickly, while a huge mothership requires a long acceleration process, and it is even more difficult to stop.

This is completely different from the instant stop and instant walk of the warp speed route.

But there is no way, such a troublesome maneuver can only be adopted within the range of the planet's gravity well, which is also one of the values ​​of the existence of a flexible starfighter.

After a long rendezvous, the fleets of the two sides finally came to a position 5000 kilometers apart, and this distance is already ready for fighting.

As a result, the lights on both sides flickered, and before they slowed down, they used the kinetic energy of the ship to draw out their special skills.

On one side of the Lasan people are battle cruisers and cruisers, which can accelerate projectiles to "thousand kilometers per second" electromagnetic main guns.

The terrifying power can make a Holy Shield destroyer quit the battle with just one hit, and the power level is predicted to be around 4.0~4.5.

The Shentang Fleet took the lead in attacking the focused heavy drive formation, with 12 bow ion beam arrays and a total of 24 straight bright white ion beams, which instantly converged on the bow of the No. 1 cruiser as the target.

At this time, the Lasan shells were still on their way!
Even though the power of these ion beams is only 3.6, the damage caused by the simultaneous irradiation of each destroyer with two doors, a total of 24 beams, is by no means as simple as a simple addition.

This is where the advantage of beam weapons lies—the ability to instantly focus fire on a target on the battlefield.

Efficient and deadly while guaranteeing hits!

5000 kilometers is already the maximum non-attenuating range of this level of launch array. After 3 seconds of full energy irradiation, the bow of the target cruiser was directly vaporized in half like a melting ice block!
Then the light beams gathered here penetrated the hull, and a bright "*"-shaped intersection pattern appeared in space.

In the next second, the overwhelmed cruiser directly exploded and disintegrated, becoming the first sunk capital ship on the battlefield.

Don't bother to celebrate the victory.

The Shentang fleet had already started evasive action when it opened fire, and the side booster engine spewed out flames with all its strength. When the beam of the main gun was extinguished, the fleet evading with the help of navigational inertia had already shifted a few kilometers away.

The Lassans wanted to use the inertia of the hull to speed up the initial velocity of the projectile, while Lu Feng wanted to use the inertia of the hull to dodge quickly.

Comparing the two, in the end Shentang hid faster, and the Lasang people's shelling was empty again!
Although angry, the Lasan chose to slow down.

They need to maintain the best range to take advantage of the naval guns. However, Lu Feng will not honestly confront them.

The speed does not decrease!
The Shentang fleet crossed an arc, and the murderous Chao Lasang people killed them.

The main guns of the Akatsuki and the Charon-class main guns that were not fired in the first round just now, a total of 6 electromagnetic shaft guns of the same level as the Lasan people, let out a silent roar.

The Lasan fleet was slowing down and braking at this time, and it was a little confused in the face of the attack.

Compared with just now, as the distance shortens, the reaction time left for them this time is only more than 3 seconds.

At the critical moment, the Lasan commander directly gave up maneuvering and evading, and chose to let the bow of the fleet face the enemy, betting on the not-so-high hit probability.

time up!
In the blink of an eye, a group of blazing fires suddenly lit up in the universe.
