Chapter 431 The gap in top combat power
The jump fluctuations of Chen Ming's Zerg fleet caused the mechanical race to react immediately.
They dispersed from the position where the Zerg fleet jumped, and while avoiding cross-fire accidental damage to friendly forces, all the firepower was poured out the moment the Zerg fleet arrived.
The Zerg fleet that jumped over this time is still the pure main fleet that Chen Ming likes to use the most.
Hundreds of Zerg battleships just jumped to the center of the Mechanical Fleet. They chose to directly resist the concentrated fire attack of the entire Mechanical Fleet.
The Zerg fleet was almost instantly submerged in the fire of energy and explosions.
No matter who sees this scene, they will sweat for the fleet in the fire.
The ordinary main fleet would never be able to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of this ferocious firepower, especially when the jump is over and all fleets stay in place like targets.
But Chen Ming's Zerg fleet is no ordinary fleet.
The Insect Queen has long relied on Chen Ming's psychic shield, which he had thoroughly mastered some time ago, and installed biomass psychic shield generators on all Zerg warships.
Based on its own psychic effects, it builds a psychic shield unique to the Zerg.
This shield generator, which relies on psychic waves, has a unique effect.
When forming a shield, the characteristics of the interacting psychic energy will also be reflected on the shield.
The effect of the psionic characteristics of the Insect Queen on the shield is to make it extremely strong, adaptable and evolving.
It can quickly adjust the shield frequency when facing different types of attacks to defend against different types of attacks.
Moreover, the psychic properties of the shield can be switched at any time.
Just change the psychic waves that make up the shield.
Through the connection between the insect queen and Chen Ming's consciousness, she can fully express Chen Ming's psychic properties on the shield.
The effect that Chen Ming's psychic properties can show is super high repairability.
When Chen Ming's psychic properties are reflected on the shield, the large amount of biological radiation that was originally accumulated will be quickly drained, and the shield that has become unstable will stabilize in a very short period of time.
The alternate use of two shields of different properties can bring the Zerg fleet's protection strength to a higher level.
When faced with the concentrated fire of a fleet of the same level with fewer ships of the same level, such a shield is like a high wall that can never be broken down, blocking the enemy.
The firepower of the Mechanical Race's total of twenty-two capital ships and more lower-level warships was not even enough to defeat the shield of any Zerg warship.
Instead, after the first wave of concentrated fire, the Zerg fleet's counterattack arrived.
The main ship of the Zerg tribe is the Hercules class that Chen Ming fed to the Queen of the Mechanical Tribe at the very beginning.
There are two models, type A is responsible for combat and type B is responsible for cargo.
The main weapons of the Zerg warships were originally the Zerg-style Mechanical Clan Spine Cannons stolen from the Mechanical Clan mothership.
Of course, simply stealing the weapons of the machine clan and using them as one's own will not last long.
As the Hercules class was continuously being iteratively upgraded by the Insect Queen, Chen Ming also helped the Insect Queen develop its own main weapon [Nessos-level Acid Arc Generator].
This name is somewhat unlucky for the Hercules class, but the effect is extremely suitable.
Bright green electric arcs penetrated from the smoke and dust of the mechanical clan fire, penetrating the shields and armor of all surrounding mechanical clan fleets.
The arc rays with unique acid properties can directly hit the hull, causing extremely horrific damage to the hull.
Cruisers and all smaller spacecraft, as long as they are touched by a little acid arc, the entire ship will instantly melt into a puddle of molten iron and acid mixture.
When a battleship is hit by an acid arc, it can only survive the firepower for a while.
That's all.
The design ideas of the mechanical ships are similar to those of Xinda Company, which are mass production ideas.
Although the Zerg fleet is also designed for mass production, the nature of the Zerg that devours everything means that the resources he has on hand far exceed anyone's imagination.
This ability to convert everything into energy makes Chen Ming's Zerg fleet more powerful than other mass-produced warships even in mass production.
In terms of combat effectiveness of a single ship, it is enough to completely overwhelm the mechanical race.
And when the fleet clusters and there is no decisive gap in the command capabilities between the two sides, the gap in ship combat effectiveness will be further magnified.
Even this time, when Chen Ming asked the insect queen to take action, he didn't give much command at all and simply let the insect fleet perform on its own.
It is equivalent to launching a surprise attack on the Mechanical Fleet relying only on the strength of the Zerg fleet.
In this way, the Zerg fleet also achieved a complete victory.
The machine race fleet can crush the military power of the edge star field, and Chen Ming's fleet can certainly crush the machine race's military power.
Visible to the naked eye, the new super body that is fighting with Chen Ming has become anxious. Its target is no longer just Chen Ming, but also the Zerg fleet.
Although the Zerg fleet can crush the mechanical fleet, the super body can also crush Chen Ming's Zerg fleet.
As long as the new super body is given some time, he can destroy all two hundred Zerg battleships.
The strength of the fleet cluster is still not enough when facing the real top combat power.
Chen Ming definitely couldn't give it such a chance.
Although he still regarded the Colossus as his goal, he knew that he could only achieve this goal by continuing to fight with the super-bodies of the mechanical race.
What he wants is to replace the mechanical colossus, not to kill the super body.
Whether he goes to exchange it in person or exchanges it with the Zerg fleet, as long as he can exchange it, it will definitely not be a loss.
He is not afraid of the super body being destroyed, nor is he afraid of the loss of these two hundred Zerg battleships.
But the mechanical race is definitely inferior to their Colossus.
The Colossus is the destructive equivalent of a level 5 psyker, and it is also a level 5 psyker that can reproduce repeatedly. The cost is definitely not low.
It is impossible for the mechanical race to build ships by hand like him or to directly pile up biomass like the Zerg.
They require production lines, they require a lot of engineering equipment, and they require a fair amount of time.
So Chen Ming chose to exchange battle losses.
When the new super body obviously wanted to leave the battle, Chen Ming bit it back this time.
Constantly forcing it, not giving it a chance to turn back to support the mechanical fleet.
It only takes one minute of delay, and the entire Machine Race fleet will be completely wiped out, followed by the Machine Race's colossus.
This is somewhat difficult.
Whether it is Chen Ming's own super body or the new super body of the mechanical family, the attack methods are still the same, including space cutting and air mine drop.
During the fight, you can only see two shadows running around in an area, and all around them are traces of being cut by space and the pink aftermath of the air mine explosion.
There is no valuable information that can be seen clearly.
And in this process, the new super body used these two basic powers to crush his super body in battle by relying on its superior performance and some additional powers that Chen Ming could not understand.
If it hadn't been for the constant support of his psychic energy, the super body would have been destroyed long ago and split into two pieces.
Even the most basic sub-machine may be destroyed.
But when Chen Ming's super body used these two abilities, it was difficult to hit the new super body of the mechanical family.
It was as if all his thoughts and control of the super body were predicted, and almost none of them successfully hit.
It was not that he had never participated in ship battles, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation of being unilaterally suppressed by a single ship.
His thoughts were completely predicted and his operations were restricted step by step. It felt as disgusting as swatting a fly, and I couldn't use any strength.
Moreover, this fly would bite from time to time with deadly viruses, causing serious damage to the super body.
Chen Ming had difficulty understanding what caused the situation.
However, he still chose to suppress his nausea and do what he should do.
He believed that his Zerg fleet could destroy the Colossus after destroying the Mechanical Fleet.
It seems that the new super body can’t wait any longer.
It suddenly changed the way it fought, and directly chose to self-destruct in the process of trying to distance itself from Chen Ming's super body.
The core and hull were shattered, and in the next moment two split "facets" were formed.
The left side continued to block Chen Ming.
The right plane changed its direction and rushed towards the position of Chen Ming's Zerg fleet.
The effect of the time flow core has not been affected at all after the split.
The plane rushed into the Zerg fleet group, and used space power unscrupulously, instantly destroying the Zerg fleet that was destroying the mechanical fleet.
The Zerg fleet that was originally crushing the mechanical fleet was crushed by the super body in an instant.
But it's not over yet.
The right side of the new super body did not stop after destroying the Zerg fleet. Instead, it continued to rush into the mechanical fleet that was defeated by the Zerg fleet and launched an attack on its own ship.
Judging from its trajectory, its final target must be the Colossus.
The machine race has judged that they cannot win, so this is the only way they can choose.
Of course it was impossible for Chen Ming to do this while watching the facets.
God knows if the mechanical race will use any special means to destroy something like the Colossus that they personally designed, causing it to be extremely damaged and extremely difficult to repair.
Or might there be some key internal structure that is difficult to reproduce and was taken away by the facets, such as some special psychic material, or a material that is relatively rare in the entire universe, making repair impossible.
Self-destructing Chen Ming can also rely on the original things in the structure to repair it, but it will be troublesome if the things are taken away.
Chen Ming made a decision immediately.
Juding risked the destruction of his super body and changed his usual course of action, forcibly moving in the direction of the Colossus.
This time, the left plane that was left to block him seemed to react a beat slower and failed to keep up with his movements, allowing Chen Ming to bypass the plane's protection and rush directly towards the Colossus.
He didn't slow down at all this time, and his super body just smashed through the hull of the Colossus, which had no normal combat power, and embedded itself in it.
The two planes of the new super body immediately realized the situation and stopped approaching the colossus.
They immediately destroyed the remaining mechanical fleet and fled away from the empire as quickly as possible.
This speed was only estimated by the naked eye. Chen Ming knew that even if his super body was not embedded inside the colossus, he would never be able to catch up if the output power was fully overloaded to the limit.
Chen Ming stared at the place where the new super body disappeared for a while, and could only sigh sadly.
Although this battle can be said that he suppressed the performance of the mechanical clan.
But he couldn't be happy.
There is really a limit to what the Zerg fleet can do.
Although in terms of low-level combat power, Chen Ming's suppression of the mechanical race is still very obvious.
The Zerg enhanced by his spiritual power are different from the original Zerg created by the Shining Civilization to fight against the Machinery. They are stronger than the Machinery.
However, the super body can also suppress Chen Ming's Zerg and kill Chen Ming's Zerg fleet at will.
Top combat power suppresses ordinary combat power too seriously.
When facing the top combat power of the mechanical race, the same reciprocal means must be used to restrict it.
But the super-bodies of the mechanical race can be repeatedly manufactured, and even if the cost is high, the number of them will never be less than that of the Colossus.
But there is only one Chen Ming.
Not all of the empire's top psykers can restrain the super-bodies of the mechanical race, or even destroy them.
This is the biggest problem.
No matter how many Zerg fleets he has and how powerful they are against the mechanical fleets, they are just cannon fodder when facing top individual forces.
The victory of the war cannot be pinned on the weakness of the enemy.
Even if the mechanical clan's military force this time comes with only one Colossus and a total of twenty-two battleships except for the super body, the empire can still afford it except for the colossus and the super body.
But the mechanical race is more than that.
The star field they occupy is larger than that of the mechanical race, and there are also multiple mechanical race clusters. How can a fleet combined with only this small amount be possible.
This first wave of attacks is still just a test by the mechanical tribe.
The first super-body test was to test the empire's emergency defense capabilities against high-end combat power.
The first wave of attacks not only tested the empire's high-end combat power again, but also tested the empire's response ability to invasion and the combat capability of the border defense fleet.
Chen Ming accepted the two tests of high-end combat power.
But the problem of the empire's lack of combat effectiveness has obviously been completely exposed to the machine race.
The real problem is when you run into problems later.
Chen Ming's mind suddenly came up with a possible way to resist the invasion of the mechanical tribe.
Just use the scarlet dimension.
Scarlet's invasion also has an effect on the mechanical race.
Especially the scarlet power that belongs to him.
And his control of scarlet power is no less than that of any scarlet creature, and he can even represent scarlet within the empire.
He could try to use Scarlet to isolate the empire within Scarlet.
It’s just that the power required is extremely huge.
It is necessary to have scarlet rifts all over the entire empire, but also to ensure that the scarlet in the scarlet rifts is suppressed by the scarlet mechanical heart.
It is extremely difficult to do this.
Chen Ming can now suppress the scarlet rifts of several galaxies at the same time, but if there are more, more powerful power will be needed.
Let's think about it again.
Although Chen Ming has said several times that the mechanical war needs to be handled by the empire itself.
But it was really hard for him not to help figure out what to do about it.
He really couldn't see any hope, but he couldn't just watch the empire be destroyed.
Chen Ming shook his head.
Put the thought aside for now.
For now, let's deal with this colossus.
