It is natural to hand over the control of the ship to cortana. In fact, there are not many people on board these ships. They are basically "ghost ships" controlled by cortana blessed by star road, and the command and command of all military organizations is of course in the enterprise In our hands, artificial intelligence cannot touch military power. This is a basic matter of principle.
"Understood." The enterprise turned its head and nodded to the soldiers in the communication group next to it. The latter immediately understood and began to connect to the encrypted battlefield command communication network, preparing to issue orders to the troops.
At the same time, the company also granted the New Era class aircraft carrier the freedom to fire the main guns. With it, Cortana can control the ship's hull that belongs to the company's ship.
"Everyone speed up, finish everything at hand, gather the scientific research team, and prepare to return to the spaceship."
As soon as the enterprise's voice fell, I found that the super-heavy MAC gun of the ship displayed in the ship's installation status was quickly charged and then fired.
If this is in the Earth's near-Earth orbit space with an atmosphere, and if there is a certain amount of air medium, this kind of movement can still be felt to some extent, but on this asteroid with no atmosphere at all and infinitely close to the interstellar vacuum, in terms of body feeling You can't feel the shock of the roar of the starship's main guns on a two-kilometer-long battleship.
Enterprise's heart tightened, and it immediately realized that the movement of the swarm might be faster than he thought. Cortana had completely ignored him, and devoted himself to the calculation of controlling the fleet's main guns.
At the same time, in front of the soldiers staying on the Pelican troop carrier landing field outside the Hyacinth, a magnificent starship salvo was displayed.In the wave just now, the entire fleet, from the frigate guns of the Paris class and the Charon class, to the main guns of the New Era class, launched a salvo. Under the background of the starry sky with excellent visibility due to the absence of an atmosphere , Immediately a string of gorgeous fireworks exploded.However, due to the lack of air medium, whether it is the sound of naval guns or the impact of explosions, it is very quiet, like watching a silent sci-fi movie.
At the same time, the swarm also started to counterattack, a large number of energy beams and plasma-charged anti-ship missiles were launched, and the fleet immediately began to maneuver, and at the same time the point defense array was fully activated. Unlike the surface fleet, these warships were all It is the point defense system deployed in the three-dimensional space around the ship, spitting out flames like a hedgehog.
Unlike the little interception battle on Europa, this is a real orbital battle.
While the fleets in orbit were engaged in battle, the swarm, which had a numerical advantage, immediately began to leave some special transport capsules after the battle line was lined up, trying to smuggle to the surface of Sedna.
The fleet immediately dispatched a large number of broadsword fighters to intercept them, but the number of space fighters carried by the ship was relatively limited. The enemy's transport capsule Kashgar broke through layers of obstacles and quickly rushed towards Sedna's northern hemisphere.
But now they are not the only ones who can play orbital airborne, this is no longer their patent.
The fleet on the orbit is avoiding the opponent's attack and counterattacking the swarm in a flexible formation. Under the rear half of the ship, a modular orbital airborne force airdrop port is deployed.
The airdrop ports were slowly opened while the swarms rushed to the ground. Each airdrop port was hung with neatly arranged teardrop-shaped airborne pods, and they were moving at the same time, as well as a large number of Pelican transport planes, which carried A large number of heavy weapons and equipment, modular defense facilities, and some troops rushed straight to the ground.
Of course, the fighters of the Orbital Airborne Troops of the Republic will not recite "We landed on hell with both feet", their troop creed is "Use me in the first battle, use me to win."
PS: It's the last day of 2021 in a blink of an eye, sigh, ah, sigh.By the way, friends who still have the remaining votes on hand, vote for the duck, and it’s the last day, so don’t hide it~
Chapter 201
The battles were generally fierce, because although the Enterprise Strike Group had a qualitative advantage, it was still too small in number.Both the number of ships and the airborne ground forces carried are relatively small, so it is easy to fall into a situation of being beaten on all sides.
These biological battleships of the Zerg Swarm, the existing basic theory is actually the human technology on the earth, the technical level must be higher than other human beings on the earth, but it all depends on who it is compared with, and the current mature UNSC fleet The group is of course incomparable.
It can be seen from their sailing speed that they arrived one step behind after "running away" for nearly a month, which in itself can explain the problem very well.
The weapons and equipment they use are also based on the existing mainstream weapon technology of the United States. Although the Zerg has now left the stage of simple imitation, they can freely innovate and use it with the support of basic theories and technical systems, so they do not use the atmosphere of the United States. The weapons in it are not acclimatized to fight space battles, but it is not much better.
The charging frequency, lethality, and long-distance attenuation of energy weapons are all serious. Missile weapons are also relatively difficult in terms of speed and range. Once the fleet of the enterprise opens some distance, it is easy to evade.
If it really doesn't work, just use armor to resist it. The armor of these UNSC battleships is astonishingly thick. The A-grade titanium alloy is often several meters thick, and there are interlayers formed by various composite materials in the middle.
It can only be said that the Zerg is also unlucky. The UNSC's main ship happens to be the product of continuous enhancement and response to plasma energy weapons under the human technology system. Of course, the lethality of the plasma weapon system they use cannot catch up with the star Alliance, so they can only sigh in the face of the fleet's cheeky hope.
Of course, in theory, using physical armor to absorb heat and evaporate hard-resistant plasma weapons is actually not a particularly suitable solution. If you can continuously attack roughly the same area, you will probably be able to "wear through" the defense in the end.
However, the fleet under the control of Cortana is not a stand-up boss in RPG games. It will stand there and let you hit the same part repeatedly. They can use the Kingfisher-class cruiser to single out the Covenant fleet and sink several ships of the opponent. Micro manipulator.Her ship control and tactical use are proficient. Due to objective needs, the Republic currently uses the military theory provided by Cortana in the field of fleet warfare theory, which is a blank series of military school textbooks.
Of course, the East Asian foodie country itself still has the attributes of a powerful war nation, so there is no need to worry too much about military strategy and tactics. With the progress of war practice and the development of grassroots military democracy, progress in this blank area will not be too slow Yes, after all, the wisdom of front-line commanders and fighters is infinite, and a space warfare force that grows from scratch and grows from weak to strong will quickly form.
Generally speaking, time is not on the side of the enterprise. Among other things, the storage of weapons and ammunition is a problem. After all, live ammunition is used from ships to soldiers.And now this emergency expedition, of course, has no rear. The current interstellar war logistics system has just been approved for construction by the central government, and the horoscope has not yet been written.So the longer it takes, the worse it is for the business.
At the same time, the madness of the Zerg is beyond imagination, even crazier than in the Southeast Asian theater.
Faced with the difference in quality, the swarm directly launched a large number of saturation attacks on the orbit, rushing from all directions, including the biological warship itself, which also launched "Kamikaze" very gently. Signs will be taken care of immediately, and the swarm will try their best to separate them from the fleet, and then annihilate them individually, so as to achieve the purpose of weakening the fleet as a whole, and the entire orbital battlefield is full of dangers.
On the ground battlefield, the swarm's rage is also beyond imagination.
Not to mention the main force such as hunters, including cannon fodder such as warrior bugs, which could not even beat the original human indigenous technology on earth, they all pose a deadly threat.
The stripes of these warrior bugs are all red, and they move very quickly and fiercely, as if they were on a stimulant.In fact, it is true that they are consumables as cannon fodder biological robots. This operation also plays the role of attacking the front line with numbers. Their high excitement is at the cost of burning the lifespan of the body, and they are almost dead after the end of the berserk.
It's just that in this far frontier of the solar system, such a threat is far, far greater than that on Earth.
Quite simply, they are fully adapted to the atmosphere-free, low-gravity, high-radiation environment, and move as freely as they do on Earth.This is also the advantage of cannon fodder. It is cheap and highly adaptable, and can be used without adjustment in various livable or purgatory environments. Otherwise, the Zerg will not give priority to keeping them when they are disabled.
Human fighters are different. Once the sealing equipment on the body is damaged to a certain extent, resulting in loss of pressure in the armor, loss of oxygen, heat loss, radiation entry, etc., it will immediately bring a more deadly threat than simple injury.Even with the interstellar battlefield rescue system under the UNSC system, this problem is still fatal.
As we all know, on the battlefield of ancient cold weapons, far more people died from various injuries due to untimely treatment and worsening infections than those who died directly.Now the Republic is facing such a problem again, and for quite a long period of time, it can only be improved but not eradicated.
Unless you don't want to be a human... Ahem, unless human beings get rid of bitter flesh and blood or let human beings evolve rapidly through biotechnology.
And to be honest, although technology has allowed artificial gravity training bases to be put into practical use, it is actually difficult for everyone on the earth to train under various gravity conditions for a long time, and the daily necessities of life are still in the normal earth environment.
Suddenly in an environment with no atmosphere and low gravity, the whole person will feel very uncomfortable when moving, because there will be serious errors in the judgment of body movements and brain habits.Of course, it is not a big problem in missions such as scientific research, but it is very troublesome in activities such as warfare. A careless action will cause casualties of soldiers.
In the first hour of the fighting between the two sides, the airborne troops suffered a battle loss of more than 200 people. You must know that the operation itself only brought 1200 people.
Of course, the company also noticed this situation, so it decisively asked Cortana to weaken the counterattack firepower on the orbit, strengthen defense and evasion, and the fleet firepower took time to support the surface.
Of course, Cortana, who is fierce with white hair, must have a meal of yin and yang, which is already very Chinese, but he still faithfully executed the order. The heavy firepower from the orbit began to strengthen the output on the ground battlefield, and the broadsword fighters also began to form formations to execute. Ground suppression missions.This trick worked very well, and immediately delayed the swarm's crazy attack momentum. After all, regardless of the water surface or the starship, the firepower of the naval guns was still too lethal to the ground output.
These bombardments from the main fleet often smashed huge craters on the ground with a depth of more than 30 meters. The killing area of the New Era-level main guns can exceed 5 football fields, and a charge formation will be blown up with one shot.This is still the case that UNSC's firepower is dominated by high-penetrating electromagnetic guns. If it is equipped with professional ground-scrubbing energy weapons, the loss of the swarm will be even more alarming.
And the company has also noticed this keenly. After returning this time, she plans to try to submit a report on modifying the ship's ground-to-ground firepower output, and try to "quickly deploy orbital ground-to-ground firepower".That is to say, just like Bray, when they arrive or occupy an interstellar battlefield, they will immediately quickly launch armed satellites in this star area or planetary orbit to make up for the lack of efficiency of ship scrubbing.
However, the swarm lacking the power to control the sky, facing this kind of firepower output, can only be forced to stop the large-scale assembly, and the offensive firepower of the swarm facing the ground unit area is forced to disperse and weaken, and the purpose of delaying time is greatly achieved. up.
PS: This year is coming to an end, everyone clear your ticket warehouse!This part of the plot doesn't feel good, let's quickly end and return to Earth.
It's time for a big wave_(:з」∠)_
Chapter 202 Hyacinth's Gift Package
As time passed, the attack of the swarm became more and more frenzied.
They also seemed to understand what humans were doing, and began to attack more and more regardless of the cost.Charge even with naval guns.
At the same time, naval guns have a process of cooling, charging, and projectiles entering the firing chamber, and the output of fighter jets also has a time cycle. After all, the ammunition load is not infinite.This time is a good time for the swarm to attack violently.
Of course, the madness of the Zerg also made the company increasingly overestimate the importance of the Hyacinth under its feet.It's very simple, the more the enemy doesn't want you to do, the more you have to do it.
And as time went by, the number of bug swarms that landed from orbit became more and more, and there were Zerg activities everywhere around Sedna's arctic region.At the same time, the swarms also have reinforcements arriving from within the solar system. It seems that they are really serious this time. Although the scale of troops invested is far from the size of the main battlefield on Earth, they should already be on hand. The ceiling under the support of space transport capability.
It was also the first time for the enterprise to command such a battle, and because it was far away from the earth, if it was a little careless, it would be true that a large number of soldiers would be buried at the end of the world. This sense of responsibility also made her every order very heavy.
Although the scale of this battle is actually not particularly large, it is really not a big deal compared to the previous major battles between the company and the swarm on the earth, where the two sides frequently strangled millions of combat units campaign, but with unprecedented complexity.
Although the number of commanders and fighters on the expedition is not large, the personnel categories of various systems from the fleet to the carrier-based aircraft to the ground combat forces are complete.The battlefield spans the world, from orbital strangling in space to brutal offense and defense on the ground. Horizontally, the attack of the swarm comes from all directions, and the swarm is extremely crazy.This has brought enormous pressure on battlefield situation awareness and rapid decision-making. The former can be solved by the construction of technical equipment and battlefield information systems, while the latter always needs people to make decisions.
Artificial intelligence can't take the place of others, it can only assist rather than replace human beings in making decisions. Whether it is political power or military power, this is an absolute principle.This is not about Cortana's personal behavior, the rules have always been stipulated for a group.Even if this cortana is simply a good AI, it won't go crazy due to life expectancy and then stage a galaxy-wide domestic violence, that won't work.There cannot be any exceptions to the rules, and there are loopholes if there are exceptions.
The relationship between artificial intelligence and human beings is not a social security issue such as theft and robbery. If it is not handled properly, it may really lead to disaster for the ethnic group.There must be both technical constraints and institutional constraints.
The intensity of the battle command is very high, but the company is still able to handle it with ease now. Her current ability is no longer Wuxia Amon. Before, the highest leader commanded a joint operation of a large-scale marine division and an aircraft carrier strike group. In theory, she commanded an army-level There should be no problem with the unit's ability.
The improvement of military command power is relatively slower than the improvement of personal combat effectiveness. After all, the lives of thousands of soldiers are involved, and besides personal ability, there is also a process of prestige accumulation in the army. There may be a situation where the command of the troops below cannot be moved, and the central government is more intentionally consolidating the foundation of her military career.But speaking of it, it's still a rocket. After all, how can a normal person start with the rank of colonel and become a general in ten years.
Even in the era of the Revolutionary War, there were very few mid-level and high-level military commanders who could fight for ten years.
But from the very beginning, the company didn't plan to fight the Zerg for too long. If Cortana hadn't repeatedly confirmed that the emergency restart of the Hyacinth would take a few hours, she would never have taken the risk.
The earth, fire and sky light outside hit the universe from the ground, and the enterprise came to the bridge of the Hyacinth.
The style here is still a unified sense of industrial technology, which is very in line with human aesthetics, and it is very neat and clean, without any messy situation, which shows that the people here are relatively calm when evacuating.I just don't know where and when their ship had an accident, and then caused them to star trek and fall all the way to the edge of the solar system.
This time point was actually well chosen. After all, if it had been earlier, humans on Earth would not have been able to get here. They would probably have to freeze in the survival cabin and wait for rescue.
However, the company is not in the mood to study the specific situation inside the bridge, and some professionals will slowly study it when they return to Earth.The commanders and fighters outside were bleeding every second, and she had to move as fast as possible.
It is still a simple and rude foolish way to scan and authenticate, or in fact, the other party is also waiting for the company to bring the pioneer star road to the bridge. Hyacinth, which fell into a standby state, performed a wake-up operation.
Then a large circle of three-dimensional cosmic star maps immediately popped up around the enterprise, which looked like a holographic image, but the enterprise could touch every galaxy model and the unknown text annotated, and the enterprise's body would not be affected by walking in it. Anything that gets in the way is pretty magical.
"The real light technology of the same model as Xinglu?" The company couldn't help but guess.
And within a few seconds, the company realized its huge value——
In the Hyacinth's star map, every small point of light recorded is actually an important star field at the level of a star system, and the interstellar space between galaxies is also mixed with some special text descriptions from time to time, which should be similar to Human nautical charts record routes and ocean currents, reefs, and the like.
And with the touch of the enterprise's fingertips, it can also be discovered that each solar system can be expanded in detail, each specific planetary system, and even according to the exploration situation of the Hyacinth, each planetary system has more or less actual exploration records The planet's magnetic field, atmosphere, geology, gravity and many other information, among which there are many natural planets with or without intelligent life.Swipe your fingertips in the opposite direction to reduce the scale, and what is finally displayed in front of the company is a huge star map covering half of the Andromeda galaxy and half of the Milky Way where the solar system is located!
The value of this to human beings is probably much greater than researching a black technology such as a shield technology from the Hyacinth.
But the company immediately came to its senses, now is not the time to study these things, she still has important things to do.
Now it seems that the value of this Hyacinth is probably much higher than imagined, and there may even be survivors of alien technological civilizations in its survival compartment.And their attitude towards the pioneers provides the possibility of friendly communication between humans and them.
"In any case, this Hyacinth must be brought back!"
The company's scorching eyes scanned the huge star map shining with blue radiance around it, and called out its own star system, preparing to execute the emergency wake-up operation for Hyacinth.
PS: On the first day of the 20th mouth year, everyone is one year older!congratulations!
Ask for tickets at the beginning of the month, give me some~
Chapter 203 Use a nuclear bomb on the swarm!
Fierce battles are raging on the edge of the solar system, and casualties are occurring on both sides every moment.And with a slight change in the stern engine system of the Hyacinth at a certain moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be quieter.
There was nothing wrong with it, the ship was still very resistant to beatings, and the impact itself did not cause any serious damage, so the restart process was very smooth.Otherwise, if there is any serious damage, there is really no way to repair it with the technology and engineering strength present.
After a short period of silence, the Zerg immediately launched a more crazy attack. They obviously wouldn't let humans go home with a full load.Basically, they have made up their minds to leave the human race after the entire army is annihilated. For the Zerg, this loss of troops is really nothing.Whenever the Hyacinth crashes into the inner solar system, the Zerg Swarm will directly use several battle clusters to pile up human beings.
In front of the enterprise strike group with superior firepower, the Zerg charge is actually very inefficient. A salvo of naval guns will directly increase the enterprise's point income, which is not comfortable anymore.If the Zerg were so forceful, it would be too late to be happy, but it would be very troublesome now.
Every time there is a gap in the output of firepower, the pressure on the ground defense line will increase sharply.
Enterprises have always disliked blocking warfare, especially blocking warfare with little room for flexibility.If you can take the initiative to attack properly, weaken the opponent's offensive edge, or fight with the opponent while they are still in the marching ranks, forcing the opponent to become a battle formation, thereby slowing down the marching speed, the blocking battle with this kind of reasonable tactics is actually not bad. .Enterprises don't like to focus on the defense all the time, because this kind of dead defense is very passive, and the initiative on the battlefield is completely handed over to the enemy.
If it weren't for the limited troops on hand and the lack of heavy ground firepower, as long as there are three combined brigade-level troops, the company is confident that it can easily complete the blocking, and even counter-kill.
Fortunately, it seems that Big E's lucky halo has always protected him at critical times, and he has never encountered any fucking accidents at the moment of life and death.
As the Hyacinth's anti-gravity engine started to work, the heavy hull with a mass of hundreds of millions of tons began to break away from the ground easily on the already low-gravity asteroid.
The main power of Hyacinth should be antimatter energy or some kind of more advanced technology, but the current main power system is still offline, and the backup energy is the nuclear fusion system familiar to human beings, but the advanced level and miniaturization level are far from today’s The Republic is comparable.Just such a simple emergency backup energy source is much higher than the output power of the New Era-class aircraft carrier.
It can only be said that the level of technology is indeed not a dimension.
"Order the 200th division to withdraw from the battle immediately under alternate cover. The casualties must be brought back. Comrades who died cannot be abandoned here. The transport aircraft group will cooperate."
The enterprise issued a retreat order without hesitation, and the holographic tactical command system displayed the positions and conditions of each unit in real time, and added:
"Tell comrades, the safety of personnel comes first, the speed of retreat is the most important, and the heavy ground equipment that cannot be taken away can be directly blown up. Our goals have all been achieved."
The Orbital Airborne Division is a standard lightly armed force, relatively speaking, there is not much heavy equipment, and the loss is not too large. This is a reasonable tactical arrangement.And now it's not the difficult era of the past. The industrial capacity of the Republic ranks first in Blue Star, and the rest can only be caught up by multiplying exponentially. Equipment is really no one important.
