Over the years, the Riken people have been studying restraint methods for the electromagnetic guns against the swarm.

They have an advanced spacecraft of unknown civilization, and they have pushed a lot of things out from above, and they have also perfected many basic theories under the high buildings.

So, in the decades since the expedition's defeat, they have indeed done something.

Just because most of them are experimental products, they have not yet reached the level of regular troops.

But this time, when rebuilding Lazer Star, the Riken Clan added a new defense facility.

Around the land-based artillery, there are some buildings that are not inferior to them, these buildings are semicircular, like a bowl buckled in the ground.

On the top of the semicircle, a strange structure composed of some special metals and transparent lenses is displayed on it. The whole building looks like there is no familiar cannon barrel, and I don't know what it is for.

The dense electromagnetic projectiles of the insect swarms attacked, and they were like broken bamboos, like an indestructible sword.

However, when they passed through the low-Earth orbit of Lazer Star, they were only more than a thousand kilometers away from the ground target.

Suddenly some thin red beams emanated from the strange structures at the top of those special semi-circular buildings.

A distance of more than 1,000 kilometers, for a rapid electromagnetic projectile, is instantaneous. But these red beams are faster.

At first glance, they look like explosive energy beams that are several times thinner, but in fact, they are completely different in terms of principle and external performance, except for the color.

First, the blasting beam is a compressed mass of energy. By controlling the stability of the energy aggregate, it can achieve its two states, the stable penetrating type and the restless explosive type.

But no matter what, their external manifestations are energy beams ranging from tens of centimeters to several meters in length.

And these slender beams, or more suitable light, are different from blasting energy beams, they are really a thin line, after launching, a thin line about a thousand kilometers long!

In order to ensure lethality, this thin line needs to be continuously supplied with energy, so regardless of its thinness, in fact, the amount of energy consumed per unit of time is staggeringly huge.

The energy consumed by each of the semicircular structures in operation is comparable to that of ten land-based cannons.

Hundreds of meters underground in these buildings, there are special nuclear power plants to supply them with energy.

Even so, their ultimate killing range is less than 2,000 kilometers.

With high energy consumption and small attack range, the Riken tribe will not let weapons with all their shortcomings go to the battlefield, so it must have its own advantages.

That is, it is a real beam weapon, so its attack speed is approximately equal to the beam. Within its effective killing radius, its attack can be said to be instantaneous, and there is basically no possibility of evasion.

For the electromagnetic gun fired at ultra-long distance, the flight time of the projectile is more than half an hour. In such a long time, its ballistics has long been calculated.

When they entered the attack range of the laser defense array, with the help of a large-scale supercomputer, the red light "illuminated" them instantly.

The electromagnetic projectile itself is just a polymer of some metal elements, not a high-end material. Under the huge energy output, it is heated to the boiling point by the red line in less than a second.

The irradiated part of the projectile's front end reflects golden light, and then becomes a liquid splash in the light. As the melted part of the projectile increases, in high-speed flight, it can no longer maintain its own structural stability and original orbit.

After the projectile was burned and penetrated by the light, it split into several parts, and the speed has also dropped. Although it still has a certain lethality, it is difficult to break the external defense of the steel creation.

A few minutes later, the interception report was counted. In the first round of tens of thousands of electromagnetic artillery shells, the interception success rate was over 70%. The only reason why the interception rate was only 70% was due to the insufficient number of laser defense arrays. If the number was sufficient, it would be difficult for electromagnetic projectiles to penetrate this layer of light defense.

"The effect is good, I should have made more of these things if I knew earlier." Arthur, the commander of the Third Fleet, said with a pity when he saw the result.

"After all, it is an experimental product. It has not undergone actual combat, and the construction is troublesome. The materials required are still very complicated. It is already the result of striving for it to reach the current scale." Novalu also regretted.

"Unfortunately, this thing occupies too much space and consumes too much energy. At present, it can only be used as a ground defense facility. If we can move it to the battleship, we will gain the initiative in the battle." What Khamis saw farther.

"Yeah, we must urge those guys in the Academy of Sciences to give priority to upgrading this laser defense matrix. As long as it cooperates with the close-range defense gun, we may be able to fight back to the T85 galaxy."

Now in the war between the Liken tribe and the insect swarm, at a long distance, the Liken tribe's battleship did not reach the range of its main guns, and could only unilaterally withstand the bombardment of the insect swarm artillery fire.

In the middle distance, the Riken people enter the range of their main guns. At this distance, the main guns of the two sides are bombarded. Under the premise of the same number, the Riken people have an absolute advantage with a faster rate of fire and a faster flight speed of the cannonballs.

However, at close range, it is difficult for the Riken battleship to resist the fearless charge of the adults and larvae.

Therefore, in the three positions of far, middle and near, the Rikens currently only have an advantage in one position. However, if the laser defense array can be settled on the warship, they will ignore the long-range bombardment of the electromagnetic gun. At a short distance, the laser defense array and the close-range defense gun combined with the cooperation of the fighter formation can also effectively resist the surprise of adults and larvae.

As long as they can block their approach, the secondary guns of the battleship can play a role, and the firepower of the secondary guns is still extremely lethal to these small and medium combat units.

Under a series of chain reactions, the Rikens seem to be able to gain an advantage at close range.

In this case, the Riken Clan will take full advantage of the three distance positions~www.readwn.com~ According to this assumption, maybe they can really fully counterattack and fight back to the T85 galaxy.

War is the resources and logistics of fighting, and it is impossible for the swarm to give up continuing to attack because its own attack is intercepted. What's more, the energy consumed by this laser defense array is extremely astonishing.

Moreover, the fact that they were unable to completely intercept all the projectiles due to insufficient numbers had also been known to the swarm through normal means.

The dense electromagnetic guns did not stop, and continued to launch the second and third rounds. For this kind of consumption behavior before the war, the Riken people, who are backed by the resources of the entire galaxy, are naturally happy to see it.

But after all, they did not perfectly intercept all attacks, and 30% of the projectiles that slipped through the net still caused great losses to the defense facilities on Lazer Star.

Although the laser defense array was not destroyed because of the priority in destroying the projectiles fired at them, it still maintained its full combat power, but the damage of other land cannons still gave the Ricken a toothache.
