Voyage of the Stars

The few remaining nano-repair robots in the inventory were dispatched again. Under the command of strong artificial intelligence, they rushed towards the injured area crazily and started fighting with the enemy nano-robots shot out from the shells.

At the same time, the Tianqin was not idle. After the strong artificial intelligence completed the rapid calculation, it mobilized the warships in its small formation to face the enemy fleet's flagship that might turn in more than a minute. A volley of electromagnetic railgun fire was fired from the position.

Tens of seconds later, the next salvo of laser energy cannons, which matched the previous salvo of electromagnetic railguns, was fired from the muzzles of more than 20,000 warships again.

According to calculations, this round of laser energy cannon salvos will arrive first, blocking the movement of the opponent's flagship guard formation, forcing them to slow down and turn, and finally land right on the trajectory of the previous electromagnetic rail gun shells. .

This requires precise and fast calculations. It can be said that every salvo, every shot, every turn and avoidance, every acceleration and deceleration are all based on the supercomputer strength of both civilizations.

It can be seen that on the surface, the two sides are engaged in a fleet melee, but in fact, it is indeed a confrontation between the comprehensive strength of civilizations. Nanotechnology, energy technology, thruster technology, materials technology, computer technology. There are also strategic vision, tactical literacy and so on.

And because of the existence of nano-repair, it is extremely difficult for a single ship's laser energy cannon to break the polarization shield. Similarly, even if a single ship's electromagnetic rail gun fires a hit, it will be difficult to destroy the opponent with one shot. Therefore, although there was a direct confrontation between the Tianqin and the flagship formation of the Interstellar Trading Market, it was difficult to eliminate each other in a short period of time.

Twenty-three days have passed, and the melee continues, but there are more battleship wreckage in the starry sky.

The war seemed to have reached a stalemate.

This is the first time that humans have encountered such a situation. In previous wars, humans were either crushed or defeated with absolute advantage, but now, they are evenly matched.

Yue Yuan was in a hurry, because as time went by, not only were the human warships getting bigger and fewer, but the frequent steering, acceleration and deceleration movements also brought the entire fleet's fuel inventory close to the red line.

The various mineral resources on each ship have also become increasingly scarce due to the constant need to manufacture nano-repair robots and electromagnetic railgun shells.

On the seventy-eighth day of the melee, some warships even found that they did not have enough mineral resources to manufacture hydrogen bomb warheads.

By now, the Tianqin has become even more riddled with holes. There is nothing new visible on its surface. If it had not been well avoided by rolling around, I am afraid that the magnetic pushers at the rear of the battleship would have been hit. Close defense There are only one-third of the guns left, and some of them were reinstalled from the ship's inventory during the battle.

In order to protect the Tianqin, the number of guard warships has been reduced to 13,000.

Of course, the flagship fleet in the interstellar trading market was not much better. More than 100,000 warships were beaten, and only about 40,000 were left. Similarly, if it were not for its unmanned guard warship pick-and-roll, its flagship would have been destroyed by humans countless times.

Its armor also has obvious traces of seams and repairs, which were repaired by the nano-repair robot after being burned through by the human laser energy cannon.

With the sharp reduction in the number of guard warships, one of the flagships of both sides will eventually be lost in this battle.

Well, this is the decisive battle plot of an ordinary battle, but here it is the starry sky, and it is a large fleet battle controlled by strong artificial intelligence. With these two factors alone, it is difficult for the next war to develop like this.

For example, on the Tianqin side, after the number of guard warships dropped sharply, the strong artificial intelligence once again transferred the battleship formations that were fighting with other opponent's warships to supplement them. The interstellar trading market also did the same.

The scene of the flagships of both sides colliding with each other did not appear, so now it depends on who is unlucky and is hit in the core part or the propulsion system of the battleship.

However, at this time, the slowdown in the firing speed of electromagnetic railgun shells on some warships in the human fleet seemed to be keenly observed by the interstellar trading market.

As a result, they, who were fighting desperately with the human fleet, uncharacteristically assumed a defensive posture, and their desire to attack suddenly dropped a lot, as if they were wasting their time with the humans.

Seeing such changes, Yue Yuan became calmer. He knew that this was because the interstellar trading market had seen the shortage of energy supplies in the human fleet, but he could not rush. The more he rushed, the more mistakes he made.

In fact, Yue Yuan really wanted to give it a try, let the Tianqin move forward and continue to approach the opponent's flagship formation, and then take it away with a wave of electromagnetic railgun salvos, but such a move would be tantamount to directly telling the Tianqin's route trajectory. The other party, let the other party be a target.

At that time, it may not be that the opponent's flagship is killed, but the Tianqin is killed first.

One party in the interstellar trading market knows that it has an advantage in close combat, but it is also aware of the armor-piercing power of the human electromagnetic railgun and the weakness of its battleship armor. If it is too close, its advantage will turn into a disadvantage, so its flagship formation and even The entire fleet deliberately kept a certain distance at all times.

When the human warships approached, they maneuvered to put some distance between them. When the humans wanted to distance themselves, they moved closer to prevent the distance from getting too far. The terrible thing is that in the melee, the human battleship formation cannot open a large distance at all.

This back and forth forced the warships on both sides to accelerate, decelerate and turn extremely frequently during the battle.

Some battleships even keep repeating this action. In order not to be predicted by the opponent's computer, the next acceleration and deceleration direction, acceleration and deceleration time and other parameters of these battleships are randomly generated by strong artificial intelligence. Even if they know that their location is relatively safe , but also have to carry out such irregular speed-changing movements.

Because laser energy cannons cannot be predicted, probabilistic avoidance can only be carried out in this way. Because of this, the battleship's energy is consumed very quickly.

And while the two sides were fighting back and forth, two pieces of news, one good news and one bad news, reached the flagships of their respective fleets from the distant starry sky.

The good news for mankind is that its third fleet, the fleet commanded by Bu Guiyu, has successfully reached the first planetary base in the interstellar trading market, which is equivalent to reaching one of their planet strongholds.

The bad news is that the second fleet commanded by Man Yuemei was observed by the interstellar trading market through the magnetic track while rushing from the depths of the starry sky to support the thirteenth planet. The star field of 63 astronomical units encountered a fleet full of interstellar pirate style. At this moment, they were engaged in a tug-of-war with the fleet that appeared out of nowhere.

For the interstellar trading market, these two pieces of news are the other way around. Good news for humans is their bad news, and bad news for humans is their good news.

"It seems we can't count on support for the time being!" Yue Yuan muttered.

It can be seen from the good news that the interstellar trading market does not only have one planet base in this galaxy. Otherwise, human beings' recruitment of Wei to rescue Zhao would at least allow the fleet in front of them to make some actions, such as withdrawing some warships and returning home. Aid or something.

Understanding this, Yue Yuan glanced in the direction of the thirteenth planet. He undoubtedly understood the importance of guarding this planet now.

At this moment, the Tianqin. Yue Yuan glanced at the various data indicators of the Tianqin displayed on the projection screen in front of him, and found that although the human flagship was still very strong, if it continued like this, the fuel would probably last for a few months. .

In fact, Yue Yuan also knows that the warships on the interstellar trading market are also severely depleted, but in any case, the human fleet has come from afar, and if there is sufficient fuel, it must not be as sufficient as the interstellar trading market, so in the end, there is a high probability that it will be the human fleet The fuel bottomed out first.

"What to do?! Are we really going to take the risk and leave the battle to go to the thirteenth planet to replenish the fight?" Yue Yuan frowned and pondered.

Now that the thirteenth planet can produce resources normally, functional buildings have been built in the orbit of the planet, and the battleship Nanhai is there to coordinate, so going to supply is no longer a problem.

Just by going like this, the strategy of attacking Huanglong completely failed.

Staring at the light spot representing the opponent's flagship in the star map, Yue Yuan was filled with reluctance.

However, at this moment, a feedback message suddenly came into his eyes.

[The hit location has been confirmed! The enemy flagship's magnetic push has been destroyed. The enemy's flagship has lost its strong propulsion force! The target activates the steering thrusters to maneuver.]

[The target route calculation is being calculated. The probabilities in each direction have been determined. The target area has been locked. The 69543rd round of laser energy cannon salvo is ready. 】

Seeing this series of feedback information, Yue Yuan's eyes lit up, and a turning point finally appeared!

If the power is reduced, it will be a living target. If the flagship is eliminated, this group of unmanned warships controlled by the strong artificial intelligence on the flagship will lose their strong combat effectiveness.

At that time, the offense and defense will truly change shape.

The result of the salvo was quickly reported to the Tianqin command center. It was a hit, but unfortunately it hit an unmanned warship.

Even so, Yue Yuan was not depressed, because the reason why the unmanned warship was hit was because the unmanned warship deliberately drove between the Tianqin salvo formation and the opponent's flagship.

There are many warships that behave in the same way as this destroyed warship, and the purpose is of course self-evident, which is to serve as a shield for their flagship.

It can be seen from the detector's lens that the unmanned warships that were originally shooting at the Lyra formation are constantly moving closer to their flagship, seeming to want to use their own sacrifice to buy time for their flagship to repair.

Seeing such a good opportunity, humans will naturally not miss it.
