Chapter 569: Desperate Assault
The battle zone near Rubian 5.
Under the fierce offensive of the Federation Navy, the Atlas Group's unmanned fleet stood firm like an indestructible steel line of defense.
Although ships continued to be ruthlessly destroyed by enemy fire, their positions were immediately filled by their companions in the rear. The formation of the entire fleet was not disordered at all, and it always maintained a strong combat effectiveness.
At the core of the fleet formation, on the unmanned battleship 'La Luna', the commanding artificial intelligence 'Selene', the commander-in-chief of the unmanned fleet, is mounted. This artificial intelligence named after an ancient god, All combat information is being processed quickly and meticulously.
To her, the fierce battle outside the battleship was nothing more than pieces of information that quickly flashed before her eyes.
After this information was quickly classified, the entire battle appeared in front of Selene's eyes like a constantly changing and updated table - this was Amber, Dr. Mephisto and others. , based on the perspective of carbon-based organisms.
But for Selene, commanding the fleet to fight is indeed like constantly 'solving questions'.
In front of her eyes, there is real-time updated information from both warring parties, and what she has to do is to compare the situations of both parties, find the 'optimal solution', and then formulate an order and issue it to the unmanned fleet.
In addition, although Lilith reset and unlocked their 'emotional module', according to the settings of this 'Mother' (the honorific title given to Lilith within the Unmanned Fleet), Atlas All artificial intelligences under the group, whether they are high-level shipboard control personalities or command artificial intelligences like them, will still temporarily take their 'emotion module' offline after entering combat status.
So at this time, whether it was Selene, Hecate, or the unmanned fleet that was engaged in battle, they were all giving and executing orders coldly.
The losses of the surrounding fleets will not shake their minds at all, but will turn into a 'weak point' in the defense line, which will be quickly filled by other warships under the command of Selene
When she and Hecate received the order of 'Boss begins assault, other units provide fire cover', the command artificial intelligence quickly began to search for the optimal solution to 'this problem'.
“The first priority is to use fleet firepower to interfere with the enemy fleet and cover the Boss to complete the assault”
“The real-time status of both warring parties is imported.”
"Start analysis."
"Under the infrared imaging of the enemy fleet, the temperature of the bow part of the ship is too high. It is suspected that the main gun has entered the limit state after continuous firing. According to the research, the enemy fleet will have an 80% probability of suspending the main gun. Cannon fire, 20% probability of forced heat dissipation through liquid helium spraying"
"Multiple results are obtained based on this condition, and the optimal result is being deduced. The deduction has been completed and will be converted into a command issuance"
Within seconds after receiving the order, Selene completed her judgment on the current situation and made the 'optimal solution'.
Soon, the two surviving warships of the unmanned fleet had just fired multiple rounds of salvos. The main gun on the bow of the ship, which was a little red under the high temperature, was suddenly hit by the liquid helium ejected from the cooling system. For forced heat dissipation, the main gun acceleration channel made of nano-memory metal also began to rapidly reorganize the crystal lattice after the temperature dropped.
Since the liquid helium and other coolants carried by warships are limited, and each time emergency cooling is carried out, a huge amount of coolant is required, so fleet commanders generally carefully 'hold' forced cooling. Think of it as some kind of covert means.
But Selene's way of thinking is obviously different from humans. She is result-oriented with the highest priority order at the moment. After realizing that the salvo of the Federation Fleet may be suspended, she did not hesitate. The option allows the fleet to perform forced cooling of the main guns.
The Federation fleet naturally quickly noticed the movement on the unmanned fleet side. After all, when liquid helium is rapidly cooled, the large amount of mist formed is very conspicuous, not to mention the entire fleet at the same time. action.
But even if they discovered this, it was still a step too late.
Because Selene has once again commanded the unmanned fleet to launch a new salvo.
Although the forced heat dissipation of liquid helium and other coolants is only an emergency means for the battleship's main gun, even after cooling is completed, it will only fire two or three rounds of salvos before a ceasefire is required to prevent the acceleration track from melting. Even so, this unconventional salvo still caught the Federation fleet by surprise.
Especially these two salvos from the unmanned fleet focused their attacks on the bottom of the Federation Fleet formation. After those warships were preparing to intercept Amber and others, Amber and others were breaking through. People suddenly feel that the pressure is greatly reduced.
"Lilith, you did a good job! These command artificial intelligences are so capable of timing."
The driver of the upgraded super-heavy HCP 'ATLAS Kai' In the cabin, Amber, who was firmly fixed in the driver's seat, looked at the federal fleet in front that was beaten into chaos, and couldn't help but praise it.
In his previous life in the game, he had always accepted the ravages of the unmanned fleet from a perspective similar to that of the federal fleet at this moment.
Being able to watch such an attack as an ally or 'owner' of the unmanned fleet has to be said to be a very exciting thing.
Although there is an old saying that 'blackening is three times stronger, whitening is three times weaker', this sentence obviously cannot be applied to Lilith and the unmanned fleet.
For Amber, they have indeed been cleansed in this life and have joined the team, but their potential and combat effectiveness have not weakened at all, and are even stronger than when they were 'blackened' in their previous life. .
“Thank you Master for the compliment~”
After hearing Amber’s words, Lilith’s tail under the image of the little devil rose directly to the sky, but she then reminded her:
"But Master, the cover that the unmanned fleet can provide can only be so much. Although it has caused some confusion to the federal fleet, their anti-aircraft firepower is still a threat."
"It's okay, the unmanned fleet's The number is limited, and it is enough to be able to do this." Amber shook his head, and then continued: "In Atlas's combat sequence, unmanned fleets are not the only ones that can fight."
As After he finished speaking, more and more heavy armored combat boats were catching up near the 'ATLAS Kai' which was advancing at high speed.
They are also one of the few units in the entire space battle sequence that can directly catch up with the 'ATLAS modified' units in 'cruise mode'.
The First Fleet carries a total of more than 700 heavy armored combat boats, and now these heavily equipped high-speed predators are directly arranged into two 'box formations', starting from Amber's left and right It passed sideways and was pushed forward under the salvo of heavy particle cannons.
The federal fleet's anti-aircraft destroyers, frigates, and HCPs were deployed on the outside of the formation. They simply couldn't withstand this style of play, which was like "queuing up and shooting in space."
As for other warships that adjust their axis and plan to use their main guns to strafe, they will also be immediately concentrated fire by these combat boats after their movements are discovered.
As for the federal HCP that surrounded these heavy armored combat boats from both sides and planned to attack these heavy armored combat boats from the flanks, they were quickly intercepted by the HCPs carried by the combat boats.
From a God's perspective, it looked like a meteor shower was rushing towards them from the direction of the bottom of the Federation Fleet.
With this 'meteor shower', there are constant explosions of fire, and every time it advances a certain distance, the distance of the 'meteor shower' will become smaller, but this does not stop this 'meteor shower' from happening. go ahead.
It was even more unable to stop the brightest 'meteor' from heading straight towards the heavy cruiser 'Lighthouse' which was performing guidance operations.
