Chapter 52: Melee
Why there are so many battleship blueprints available for redemption at the outpost? In addition to the joint support from the major forces of the United Empire of Mankind, it is mainly due to what was revealed on the battlefield.
The location of the outpost is just in the way of the expansion of the Shatta Tribe United Civilization. At the beginning of its establishment, it had many battles with the Shatta Tribe United Civilization fleet. This outpost was able to stand here because of the war. Thousands of ships were invested in that kind of outpost. On the huge battlefield of battleships, as long as an enemy ship is sunk, one or two drawings will usually be revealed. Most of them are various weapons and accessories, and a very small number are battleship blueprints.
But this very small number is only relative. You can get a few after a battle. If you can sink a few battleships, whether it is the X-slot main gun or the battleship blueprint, it is a good thing.
As the core of the battleship, the X-slot super-large main gun has a particle light lance of 2 billion each and a more powerful neutron light lance of 4 billion. The drawings are 200 million and 400 million respectively.
Unfortunately, the battleship's shields, armor, and hull are all too thick. Many are equipped with shield generators that can restore energy shields during war. Even if more than two thousand space fighters are besieging them, they will not be able to destroy them for a while.
Li Min and Li Jia cleaned up the battlefield, and all the harvests were packed up and turned around by industrial ships.
Li Qing checked them one by one. There were a total of 26 blueprints of weapons and accessories, 5 frigates and 1 destroyer blueprint. The weapon accessories were all third-generation technology, and most of them could be used more than once, ranging from five or ten times to several times. Ten times, combined it can be worth a lot of money.
Each battleship blueprint can only be used once, and the combined value is about 20 million.
Compared with the loss, it is a loss of blood. We can only hope to defeat the opponent and plunder this galaxy. Only then can we recover the capital and make a profit. If we fail to achieve the strategic goal, it will be a pure loss.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Qing ordered the fleet to rest and replenish ammunition. He contacted Ding Youran and prepared to cooperate with her.
Suddenly Li Lie's message popped up, and he said with a serious face:
"Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission and have sunk the enemy battleship."
Li Qing stood up in surprise, and with a little pull of his fingers, a light screen popped up. What was displayed on it was the battlefield scene from Li Lie. The wreckage of a battleship that had been riddled with holes was floating in the void. , raging flames burned on the wreckage.
"Not bad!"
Li Qing praised:
"Beyond my expectations, you will succeed in this battle."
At this time Li Lie said:
"Although there is no blueprint for the explosive battleship, there is a drawing of a particle light spear and a drawing of a large armor that can be used 30 times."
"Okay, let's go back to the team first."
After closing the communication with Li Lie, Li Qing first spread the news to the entire team to boost morale. He then opened the detailed battle information Li Lie had just sent and looked at it carefully.
"Li Lie sank that battleship?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment when he received the news, and then a strange feeling emerged in his heart out of thin air, and an inexplicable sense of urgency arose spontaneously.
We all hang out together, and you suddenly make a great contribution, then I have to make a great contribution too, otherwise I will be outclassed.
Two minutes later, in the bridge, watching the battle that sank the battleship in fast forward, Li Qing had two emotions in his heart.
One emotion is that Li Lie's innate talent is so explosive.
The second emotion is that space fighters are indeed very restrained against large ships. Battleships with ultra-thick shield armor and super firepower are unable to fight back against space fighters all over the sky.
It can be said that in terms of duel, even a hangar destroyer modified from a destroyer can easily kill a battleship using kiting tactics as long as it maintains a sufficient distance.
The range of the main gun of a battleship is more than 5,000 kilometers, but the effective combat radius of a space fighter is often millions of kilometers, which is not the same level at all.
Therefore, converting cruisers into aircraft carriers is the most practical way to counter battleships for players who do not have battleships.
Of course, this does not mean that aircraft carriers are invincible. After all, no fleet is composed purely of battleships.
Generally speaking, battleships or aircraft carriers are the main core of a fleet, assisted by a large number of escort ships. A large number of frigates equipped with P-slot fire protection are the nemesis of aircraft carriers. The rate of fire of tens of thousands of bullets per minute plays an important role in intercepting space fighters. Wonderful effect.
Not to mention that this kind of modified aircraft carrier itself has no combat effectiveness. Once caught by the enemy, it will end badly.
Therefore, although the aircraft carrier is powerful, it still needs to be used in conjunction with other warships.
After a short rest, Li Qing led his fleet to approach Yu Youran to support him.
After communicating with Yu Youran, the fleet turned a corner on the battlefield and outflanked it from the other direction. Through the reconnaissance picture passed by Li Qi, that side happened to be the location of five enemy battleships and two battleship-modified aircraft carriers. It was escorted by nearly a hundred frigates and ten destroyers.
After observing the enemy's configuration, Li Qing said to Li Lie:
"You let the fighter planes set off early to interfere, and we will follow behind."
This move may cause huge losses to the fighter aircraft on the two cruiser aircraft carriers, but compared with the loss of the battleships, this loss is still a good deal.
The densely packed fighter planes spread out and pounced on the enemy's main force group more than 30,000 kilometers away. The reconnaissance and early warning aircraft mixed in the group sent pictures in real time. When the group of planes was about 20,000 kilometers away from the enemy's main force, they encountered a 100-meter fighter jet on the way. Multiple enemy space fighters intercepted and were then overwhelmed by the fleet on the spot.
Not to mention the quantitative gap of dozens of times, the fifth-generation machine versus the third-generation machine is a crushing defeat in itself.
However, just as the small group of aircraft was submerged here, a black mass of space fighters suddenly rose from the direction of the enemy's main force group in the distance and came towards them.
As soon as the two sides approached, dense battle information flooded the screen on the spot, and countless data slid across the light screen in front of them like running water.
Li Qing's face was expressionless and his eyes were staring at the front as if in trance. At this moment, his super innate attributes came into play, allowing him to imprint and memorize the screen-swiping data in his mind like a machine scanning, and then his brain moved at a super fast speed. Turn and quickly understand the combat data that swipes the screen.
Innate attributes are related to every move, word and deed of the player. When the innate attributes are strong enough, they can directly give the player extraordinary abilities that surpass ordinary people.
For example, now, Li Qing's innate memory of up to 32 gives him a memory ability that is one order of magnitude beyond the limits of ordinary people. Coupled with the same powerful perception, mind, and spirit, a humanoid robot appears.
Not only can I remember it, but I can also understand the data in an instant.
The battle between the two huge fleets took less than a minute. He analyzed the details of the battle between the two huge fleets from the huge data, and roughly simulated the battle situation and results.
Of course, the result was that they won. One had fifth-generation fighters, and the other was only third-generation. How could they win without overpowering them in scale and quantity?
In less than twenty minutes, the incoming Sand Tower civilization fleet became in disarray, with fewer numbers and faster defeat.
Ten minutes later, the enemy planes began to evacuate, and Li Lie ordered his own fleet to return. However, the main fleet did not advance immediately. Instead, he waited for the fleet to return completely, and industrial ships from behind came to supplement the fighter planes.
In the battle just now, the enemy dispatched a total of 2,115 third-generation fighters. Although they were completely suppressed, there were so many fighters after all. Many fighters were sunk in the melee. While sinking more than 1,300 enemy sorties, we ourselves 153 space fighters were also lost.
Including the losses in the previous battle, the total loss was about 400, and the battle damage was about 2 billion star dollars. Compared with the total of about 2,700 space fighters, which accounted for nearly one-seventh, the combat power was already considerable. Influence.
It was already half an hour after the space fighters were replenished. During this period, he was not idle all the time. Instead, he kept sending undamaged space fighters over, not close to the enemy's main ship group, but between them and the enemy's main ship group. Between the battlefields on Yu Youran's side, the aircraft fleet dedicated to intercepting the enemy cannot support the main battlefield, reducing the pressure on Yu Youran's side.
After the space fighter planes were replenished, Li Qing sent a message to Yu Youran:
"I launched an attack on the enemy's main fleet five minutes later."
Yu Youran responded quickly:
"I will cooperate with your attack."
After closing the communication, Li Qing raised his hand and waved:
"Attack."
The fleet spread out into a wild goose formation and advanced towards the enemy's main force. Yu Youran immediately ordered to strengthen the offensive to hold back the enemy ships on the main battlefield.
The distance between the two sides quickly approached, and soon it was less than 10,000 kilometers. Li Qing quietly opened the cosmic channel in the center of the fleet, and frigates flew out one after another.
This is a recently built batch of frigates. They are already equipped with weapons and accessories, but they do not yet have crew members. They can only compile simple combat programs by setting up their combat computers. They can implement simple combat plans and cannot implement orders that are too complex.
At the same time, if the enemy uses electronic jamming equipment, its combat computers can easily be affected and paralyzed.
All in all, this is pure cannon fodder.
That's what Li Qing thought. He ordered these new frigates to run ahead to attract firepower.
When our own side gradually entered the range of the battleship's main gun, there were already nearly a hundred cannon fodder frigates in the front row. With five extremely thick particle light spears piercing the void, the five frigate cannon fodders were destroyed on the spot.
It is definitely not cost-effective for a battleship to attack a frigate, but the shooting angle left for the five battleships facing it can only attack the cannon fodder in the front row, and cannot hit the destroyers or even cruisers behind.
As the fleet moved forward rapidly, the second round of battleship main gun attacks soon ushered in. As five fireballs exploded, five more frigates were destroyed.
In a short time, ten frigates were destroyed, and the battle damage reached 1.5 billion star yuan.
This is the cruelty of war. Years of hard work are all gone in an instant.
And this is just the beginning, the real war has not yet begun.
After the third round of bombardment was over, his fleet brought the enemy's proactively attacking frigates into attack range. With beams of death beams blasting out, the frigates that were on fire were sunk one after another.
Two minutes later, Li Qing's fleet engaged in full battle with the enemy's escort fleet. He immediately ordered Li Lie to release the fleet to interfere with the enemy's capital ships.
The black aircraft group rushed forward, and the enemy immediately released the remaining aircraft groups to fight with them. The melee instantly became intense.
Li Qing stood in the center of the bridge with an expressionless face. There were more than a dozen light curtains floating on the huge bridge in front of him, representing different battlefields. His powerful innate attributes allowed him to fully master these more than a dozen light curtains even without the assistance of a staff officer. Everything above, fully control the battle situation.
Although the losses were huge, most of them were cannon fodder, the main force was generally intact, and the situation looked promising to him.
As he expected, at the cost of more than 200 space fighter aircraft, their aircraft fleet defeated the remaining enemy aircraft fleet. At this time, the huge aircraft fleet had already encircled and interfered with five battleships and two battleship aircraft carriers.
Although there were only a few main battleships left at the moment, the attack frequency of the five battleships had been greatly reduced due to interference, supporting the main battlefield in disguise.
About twenty minutes later, the enemy escort fleet gradually collapsed with the loss of more than half, and approached the battleship in an attempt to rendezvous.
Of course, Li Qing would not let them get what they wanted. The whole army pressed forward and fought hard, especially the remaining destroyers. The frigates could escape, but the destroyers could not.
"Boom!"
A thick blue beam of light penetrated the void and hit a battleship of the Shata Tribe United Civilization. The huge energy impact caused a large crater to sink in the center of the battleship's shield.
He hasn't finished it yet. On the other side, Yu Youran has defeated the enemy's main force and is chasing the defeated troops.
Four high-end battleships opened fire in unison, and the neutron lance, which was more powerful than the particle lance, could easily destroy any battleship below a destroyer.
Previously, the Shata Civilization could rely on five battle lines to fight against two aircraft carriers. After Li Qing entered the scene and cut off the connection between the large forces and the main cluster, how could the front row withstand the concentrated fire bombardment of four battleships.
The next step is to beat up the drowned dog. Li Qing's fleet and Yu Youran's fleet join up to pursue them, taking the opportunity to gain some advantages from behind.
In the communication channel, a rare smile appeared on Yu Youran's face. She looked at Li Qing with her charming phoenix eyes and said:
"You played an important role in this battle. You can get 25% of the loot from the enemy battleships that were sunk later."
Li Qing smiled and handed over his hand:
"Then I'm welcome."
"You deserve it."
The victory over a powerful enemy and the good news coming from other small and medium-sized battlefields meant that they had won this battle. This made Yu Youran feel good and took the initiative to chat with him for the first time.
In Li Qing's previous impression, this beauty from the Ding family in Jinzhong Province was quite aloof. Except for having a slightly better relationship with Yu Yuefei, both of whom are women, she rarely communicated with other members of the team and usually kept to herself. .
After some exchanges, it became clear that her aloofness was not an act, and her personality was indeed the quiet type, which did not match her charming appearance and tall, hot figure at all.
This is not to say that she recognized Li Qing's strength, but in her eyes, Li Qing's evaluation changed from average to okay.
After all, the opponent assigned to Li Qing in the battle just now was not very strong. Victory is normal. If he loses, he will be a complete waste.
After chatting for a while, news of victory came from other battlefields one after another. They had also sunk a battleship and a battleship-converted aircraft carrier. They still didn’t have the blueprint for the battleship, but there were many other accessories. He could give him one. Use 30 times of third-generation large-scale laser to sterilize paper.
In addition, the enemy's main fleet on the other side of the main battlefield has also fallen into a disadvantage, but it is still resisting tenaciously. (End of chapter)
