Chapter 438 Battle Situation War
Liang Fei closed his eyes subconsciously and raised his hands to block himself.
Countless chains also appeared from around him, stacked heavily in the direction where he faced the mothership.
Maybe this can block one or two attacks from the mothership, but the outcome...maybe there will be no change.
Liang Fei sighed in his heart and let go of what he was thinking.
Just a few seconds later, he didn't feel that his chain was broken, nor did he feel that he had been substantially hurt.
When he opened his eyes again, he found out.
The collapsed shield of his flagship at this time actually restarted again, and even blocked the attack from the mechanical race mothership without any damage.
The energy fluctuations caused by the explosion of the energy restraint bomb surged outside the shield, but it failed to cause any damage to him and the flagship.
The special luster and fluctuations on the shield made Liang Fei immediately think of something.
That is the shield connection technology of the battleship.
This allows the main-level shield of the battleship to be coordinated with the shields of mid- and lower-level ships at the same frequency, allowing the main-level shield to share the firepower pressure for the lower-level ships.
But the command room of the spacecraft had been blown up just now, and the main control should have been destroyed. Even if their reinforcements arrived, it would be impossible to activate the shield of the spacecraft that had lost the main control under normal circumstances.
But the reality is obviously different from what Liang Fei thought.
The flagship he was on was attacked by the mothership. Even the mothership of the mechanical race immediately pulled away after the attack and returned to the cluster of the approaching mechanical race fleet from behind.
Relying on the fleet's firepower, it launched an attack on the other side of the flagship.
Liang Fei glanced at the direction of the mechanical fleet through the gap in the hull, and then glanced at Li Wei beside him.
I saw that Li Wei's wounds were recovering quickly. The fragments of the spacecraft armor that had penetrated his body had been squeezed out by the gray-green biomass and were healing rapidly.
He reached out and used chains to fix Liang Fei in place to prevent Li Wei from flying around after the spacecraft's simulated gravity system was shut down.
Then he released a new chain and hooked it to the edge of the gap in the flagship's hull structure, throwing himself directly out of the flagship and landing on the top of the flagship.
At this time, the mechanical tribe had completely ignored the cruiser he was on, and focused all its attention on the other side.
Liang Fei turned around and looked.
I saw a large number of imperial ships appearing in the direction of the mechanical race's firepower coverage, that is, on the flanks of the Odan fleet and the mechanical race fleet they ambush.
There was even a Conqueror-class battlecruiser among them.
"People from Xinda Company?"
Where Liang Fei looked, all the warships that jumped over were all Sinda Company's ships.
There is something strange about the construction of these ships.
Logically speaking, the entire command room should be covered by the machine's tight armor. The armor installed here is even thicker than some frontal armor.
Armor in the command room is necessary, but not this much at all.
Before Liang Fei had time to think about it, he heard the voice of the commander of the fleet, a female voice.
"The surviving ships immediately coordinated their shield frequencies and connected them to the friendly command system."
"Surviving personnel please enter the escape capsule immediately and wait for capture by the rescue spacecraft."
Liang Fei was surprised, but he didn't care much.
He directly used the chain to hook the gap that had just been created, and prepared to go back and stuff Li Wei into the escape cabin.
It's better to live than to die here.
Liang Fei was just about to use his strength when suddenly he noticed something strange closer from the corner of his eye.
Right at the bow of his flagship, where the smoke from the flagship command room was still rising, the smoke from the explosion was gradually dissipating.
It seems like something is moving there.
Due to the viewing angle problem, the structure of the ship's hull blocked Liang Fei's direct gaze, making it impossible for him to look over there clearly.
He hesitated for a moment, then jumped up on the spot and looked at the front of the spacecraft, where the command room was.
There was no mechanical structure at this time, and everything was covered by a mass of gray-green biomass. Countless gray-green flesh and blood were spreading along the ship structure to different locations on the ship.
Let this crumbling ship be supported again.
Liang Fei looked in the direction of the new fleet again.
The ships over there are still firing clouds of gray-green biomass in the direction of the completely destroyed ships in their Odan fleet.
Although Liang Fei didn't know what it was, the familiar color and texture of the creature made him feel at ease.
He pulled the chain on his arm and pulled himself into the spacecraft.
Carrying Li Wei, whose wounds were basically healed, he ran towards the escape cabin.
at the same time.
In the Fourteenth Star Region, in the Neuron Connection Project Laboratory.
Cheng Xinghai was lying on a facility similar to the one she often used for simulated battles.
Wearing a helmet connected to countless fine lines, her neural signals are connected to the Zerg neurons on countless spaceships.
The nearby equipment was densely surrounded, and hundreds of researchers devoted all their attention to the equipment they were responsible for.
Xu Ping was standing next to Cheng Xinghai at this time, and could clearly see the situation encountered by the fleet controlled by Cheng Xinghai through a projection screen dozens of meters away.
This image was also projected in front of some people from the Empire and the Fourteenth Legion, allowing them to pay close attention to this important experimental test.
It can also provide Cheng Xinghai with some guidance on commanding the main fleet.
Xu Ping asked Cheng Xinghai softly: "How do you feel?"
“Very good, very good.”
Cheng Xinghai had never had such a feeling of commanding a ship.
Neuron connection technology allows commanders on the battlefield to observe the entire battle situation from a third perspective, rather than being limited to the perspective of a flagship.
And the need for command capabilities to command larger fleets can be further reduced.
She had no previous experience commanding a capital ship.
But now she is not only able to command the capital ships, but every ship in the fleet can also use her fingers like an arm, without any lag in issuing orders layer by layer.
Not only the feelings mentioned by Cheng Xinghai, but also the data monitored on the equipment next to it also proves the excellence of this technology.
Xu Ping also showed a satisfied smile on her face.
"Go ahead."
"Yeah."
In the battlefield near the Audan Star Territory.
The reinforced fleet, under the control of Cheng Xinghai, quickly eliminated the mechanical fleet that blocked the retreat of the Aodan fleet.
A large number of Zerg neurons were launched onto the spaceship battleship whose control system was damaged.
It doesn't matter if the command room blows up, she will control it.
It doesn't matter if the control panel blows up, the biological neurons will repair the ship on its own.
She continues to expand her fleet. Every spacecraft is being scheduled with precision.
If there is a living person, send the living person away in an escape cabin.
The spaceships without living people are used for rearing and fighting.
This battle is not just a rescue, it is also an important test.
The laboratory needs a batch of actual combat data, and it won't be a loss even if the fleet runs out.
And this entire process of expanding and controlling the fleet did not put much pressure on her mental strength.
Although Cheng Xinghai's current psychic level is only around level 4.
However, warships controlled by neuron connection technology will also give the driver a certain bonus to the thinking ability of Zerg neurons.
And this is only to control the control of the spacecraft, not to completely control the spacecraft like Chen Ming, so the mental burden will naturally not be too heavy. This is also good news for neuron connection technology.
The outcome of the battle began to tilt in her direction immediately after Cheng Xinghai's fleet joined.
Although the mechanical tribe is fighting Cheng Xinghai, they are still trying to avoid the enemy. They only dare to engage in long-distance battles and have no intention of going further.
Instead, the battlefield here turned into the empire's fleet chasing the mechanical fleet.
But soon, things changed.
The mechanical race reversed its recent decline and took the initiative to launch a counterattack against the imperial fleet.
Cheng Xinghai's ears immediately heard the reminder from the legion.
Reinforcements from the mechanical tribe are likely to arrive soon.
Cheng Xinghai knew this very well without being reminded.
But she has no intention of changing her policy. Obtaining combat data is also one of her goals.
Moreover, the fleet behind has captured all the escape capsules that still have life signals, and has begun to conduct jump evacuation in an organized manner,
The fleet in front no longer needs to look back, they only need to exert their due strength.
soon.
Two mechanical race motherships led the fleet to jump in.
They are all fleets coming from the star field next door.
Now that Baiquan guarding Jialuo has been withdrawn, the excess resources will naturally be dispersed to the surrounding star fields.
The situation on the battlefield changed again.
The empire's fleet is just like the machine race's fleet, resolutely executing combat orders without fear of death.
Until all the ships connected by neurons were destroyed, and the screen in the laboratory went completely black.
The battle was finally over.
Ten minutes later.
The closed door of the Neuron Connection Laboratory opens.
Xu Ping and Cheng Xinghai left the laboratory.
I happened to meet Xu Lin, the chairman of Xinda Company.
"Chairman Xu."
Cheng Xinghai and Xu Ping both took the initiative to say hello to Xu Lin in a friendly way.
Cheng Xinghai knew that Xu Lin had taken the initiative to be a matchmaker before, so he was somewhat grateful to Xu Lin.
Of course Xu Ping knew Xu Lin because Xinda Company funded this project.
Since Chairman Zeng relied on all aspects of operations and himself to win over his old face and mend the relationship with Chen Ming again, Sinda Company has been supporting everything related to Chen Ming,
Of course, the neuron connection technology that Chen Ming is also involved in is the same.
To test this technology, Sindar provided a large number of mass-produced warships.
It's perfect to pair with this Zerg neuron, which is also mass-produced.
He came here this time to personally confirm the results of this experiment.
“The actual test results are very good.”
After learning Xu Lin's purpose, Xu Ping immediately gave him a reassuring guarantee: "This technology can be widely promoted."
"Both the Empire and the Fourteenth Legion are paying attention to this technology, and someone should ask about it soon."
One day later.
The capital of the empire.
The Minister of Psychics was looking at a star map in his office and sighing.
As the second-in-command of the empire, he has been personally paying attention to all aspects of the war with the machine race.
He knows that there are many places where many tactical arrangements have been successful.
But in terms of the empire's overall strategy, it can be said that there has been almost no change.
Tactical success did not make the empire's strategic plan easier to deploy.
As of today, the first outer ring has been completely occupied, and more than half of the outer second ring has been invaded by the machine race.
Originally, there were many star fields that were not the main attack direction of the Machine Race. However, due to the loss and retreat of nearby star fields, they ushered in more enemies and had to retreat together.
Coupled with the threat of the mechanical colossus, the empire had to spend a lot of resources on evacuating the people.
The losses in all aspects directly wiped out one-tenth of the empire's effective strength in less than two months.
The empire can only continue to recruit troops, recruit soldiers from all over the country, and constantly transform industrial facilities to invest in the military.
But no matter what, even if the empire's technical talents are working at full capacity.
There is no way for the empire's technology to achieve sufficient breakthroughs in a short period of time.
The technology left over from the Shining Civilization alone is not enough for the empire's fleet to have the strength to crush the mechanical fleet.
Not to mention, the machine race's fleet far exceeds the empire's in number.
The borders of the empire on the star map have turned red, and the few green areas have gradually turned red in recent days.
The empire is being heavily surrounded by machines.
The only short-term good news is that the mechanical tribe did not continue to attack violently.
Instead, they chose to take root at the borders of the empire and build a mechanical colony.
In the short term, the military strength of the mechanical tribe will be delayed to a certain extent by these colonies, but once it takes a long time to allow these colonies to be produced, the subsequent attacks on the empire will be more severe...
Chen Ming's figure flashed subconsciously in the minister's mind, but the news of Chen Ming's loss of contact and the stabilized scarlet rift outside the empire forced him to turn his thoughts to other aspects.
Thinking about how to deal with the endless machines.
He has to think about it, and when necessary, he even has to set out to try to solve these problems himself.
The office phone suddenly rang.
It was his secretary who called him.
The minister immediately answered the phone, and the secretary's voice rang from the phone: "Minister, the results of the Neuron Project test are out."
The psychic minister thought for a while and asked: "Chen Ming?"
"Yes, the results are ideal."
"This technology has been studied since the year before last. The latest large-scale test has Cheng Xinghai as the main experimenter. Enough data has been obtained and it can be applied in war."
Hearing the words Cheng Xinghai, the minister immediately thought of something. His eyes lit up for a moment, but then dimmed quickly.
"If I remember correctly, Cheng Xinghai is a level 4 psyker, right?"
"Yes."
"Can this technology be used in the military? Can it be widely used?"
"The person in charge said yes."
"There is a psyker researcher named He Gu over there who has developed a method for applying this technology in the military field. It has also been tested so that ordinary people can also control the ship."
"Their theory is that the 'virtual brain' of the hive mind cluster will take the initiative to assume part of the ship's control capabilities."
"At the same time, the subconscious mind of the human brain will share the pressure of the main control system of the spacecraft with each other. When using this technology to control the spacecraft, the number of crew members required can be smaller than that of directly arranging people on the spacecraft."
"They said that all research data has been transferred to Fanchao Research Institute."
"You should receive the verification report from Fanchao soon."
