Chapter 426 As an asteroid mining base, it’s normal to have decomposition rays
“The other party has access to quantum encrypted communication and blue-green lasers. Now the electronic warfare virus attack will not be so easy to take effect. We can try to jam their radar, but after entering the visual engagement range, even if the radar is jammed, it will not have much impact."
Gutrey in the core command room of A. Bawa Ku. Si frowned as he looked at the approaching combined fleet.
Although the internal communications of the combined fleet have also been subject to certain restrictions, it has not been injured anyway. The real threat of more than 1,800 warships still exists.
And the operation to siege the asteroid base is not complicated at all. The opponent's commander only needs to convey simple instructions, direct the fleet to a suitable position and then order the attack. In most cases, the subsequent battles will be All decisions are made by each fleet on their own.
Guterres also knows that the training level of most of the corporate fleets in these military-industrial complexes is not high. Even if the opponent's fleet commander wants to conduct joint command operations, the following chaotic ships may not be able to complete his instructions. .
Instead of playing some tricks, it would be better to use a 'bastard punch' to achieve the best effect.
“The shortcomings of low training level and poor joint combat capabilities have only affected them the least in this case.”
The corners of Guterres’ mouth twitched involuntarily. The current situation is a bit too abstract anyway.
The only good news is that the maneuvering trajectory of the opponent's fleet is indeed the same as predicted before the war. It is trying to avoid the extremely wide and dense asteroid rubble belt and head towards the only remaining area in Atlas. The 'opening' is moving.
Thinking of this, the Federation Navy Vice Admiral activated a three-dimensional model of an asteroid base, and then adjusted the angle to show the side where the combined fleet was trying to go around.
On the rock wall covered with dense excavation traces, an 'equilateral triangle' with a side length of 5 kilometers occupies a part of the area somewhat abruptly.
Judging from the alloy background that was revealed before the surface coating treatment was carried out, this thing should have been completed not long ago.
Guterres didn’t know what this thing was because Amber and the others didn’t reveal much to him and Van Fleet, so he only knew that this thing should be some kind of mass destruction arms.
According to the battle plan, when the combined fleet is forced to move in this direction, it will be attacked by this weapon of mass destruction. At the same time, the three ambushed unmanned fleets will also be synchronized. Launch an attack, and Guterres will also assist in commanding at this time.
As for Van Fleet, who was born in the Army, he will not be of much use in this kind of space battle for the time being, so Amber's arrangement is that after the asteroid base is invaded under extreme circumstances, Van Fleet will organize the defensive operations.
Although the two knew that the reason why Amber did this was because several of the main commanders of Atlas were on the side of Pyla 4 at the moment, so the A. Bawa Ku asteroid base In the absence of relevant commanders, the two of them were temporarily called in for emergency response, but in any case, it is not easy to achieve this level of trust under such circumstances.
"The combined fleet is expected to enter the attack range in one hour and five minutes!" the tactical information coordination officer of the asteroid base reported while displaying a countdown on the screen.
The words of the Tactical Information Coordinator basically explain the normal state of current space warfare-the observation distance and the effective strike distance are extremely imbalanced.
In the 'clean' space, both warring parties can detect each other's traces at a distance of more than ten or two hundred thousand kilometers. If a large fleet forms a network and releases probes to assist in investigation, it will be captured The enemy fleet 350,000 kilometers away, which is close to a light second distance, is not uncommon.
But at such a distance, as a heavy particle cannon that plays a major role in combat, with an average speed of 3,000 kilometers per second, it takes more than 110 seconds to attack a target 350,000 kilometers away. The attack delay is much higher than in ancient times. Battleships shooting against each other in the ocean are even more exaggerated.
And there is no "chasing" situation with directed energy weapons. As long as the opponent detects the firing situation in advance, slightly adjusts the trajectory and performs evasive maneuvers, it can easily avoid the heavy particle cannon. shooting - this is without considering how much lethality the heavy metal particle jet can still have after flying for 350,000 kilometers.
With the current level of human science and technology, the only effective attacks that can be carried out at ultra-long distances are the use of near-light speed weapons such as high-energy lasers and charged particle cannons. However, the extremely long attack distance also has a huge impact on accuracy and irradiation power. Not to mention that a very slight change in the ship's attack angle will cause a huge deviation in the irradiation focus. Even if it is a real 'Destiny Gunner', The hit level is EX, but the effect of the attack may not be satisfactory
So at least in the world constructed by "Starry Sky OL", the fleet battles between the two sides in space are done after discovering each other from a long distance. Start making tentative maneuvers to see if you can get a more advantageous attack position.
After the relatively long maneuvering time is over and the two sides enter the optimal attack range of each other, there will be a duel between the main gun, shield, and armor, and a simple mathematical question about the total power comparison between the two sides will be placed in front of the fleet commander.
Guterres glanced at the positions of the other three Atlas fleets on the star map. They were located in a space 20 minutes away from the asteroid base's transition time.
After seeing this combat deployment before, the Federation Navy Vice Admiral had already guessed that the identities of these three fleets were probably the three unmanned fleets that rebelled on the battlefield.
After all, when they were on Para IV, Atlas's battle fleet basically had a posture of sacrificing all their wealth 'ALLIN'.
But now, not much time has passed since the battle on Pyla IV. This will tell the Vice Admiral that Atlas has brought out three more fleets in such a short period of time. He definitely didn't believe it.
Every minute and second before the official exchange of fire was extremely painful for both warring parties. Fortunately, more than an hour was not long, and after 40 minutes, the combined fleet had already adjusted its position and was with them. The pirate fleet began to approach from two divisions of the celestial sphere at the same time.
Soon, the combined fleet began to launch a large number of plasma torpedoes and missiles. These weapons are easy to be intercepted but also have to be intercepted. Although it is generally difficult to achieve big results, they are used to Attracting the opponent to use some directed energy weapons for interception can be regarded as completing their mission.
On A. Bawa Ku's side, a large number of missile silos hidden under the rock wall were also opened. Missiles and plasma torpedoes were released one after another like a goddess scattering flowers, and moved along the Following the preset trajectory, it circled towards the side of the combined fleet.
Due to the previous experiment on Guterres in the battle of Pyla IV, Atlas’ equipment research and development department confirmed one thing, that is, to adopt a stealth configuration and The concealment effect of plasma torpedoes made of absorbing materials is far higher than anyone imagined.
Perhaps because plasma torpedoes are seen as cheap consumables by most people, no one has ever thought of improving the technical level and manufacturing cost of this weapon. This has resulted in a long-term A situation where traditional plasma torpedoes have low versatility.
But now, with the emergence of plasma torpedoes that have a stealth configuration and further improve concealment, there have been some new changes in the use scenarios of this weapon.
At this moment, those more powerful anti-ship missiles were unabashedly rushing to the front, attracting the attention of most of the air defense ships, and basically all of them were intercepted.
However, the stealth plasma torpedoes that followed them at a certain distance maintained an extremely loose spacing and slowly penetrated into the outer air defense circle of the combined fleet, without attracting their attention.
Because most of the air defense commanders are nervously directing the air defense weapon teams to deal with the extremely conspicuous anti-ship missiles captured by radar and infrared detection sensors.
The other people on the bridge were attracted by another thing.
Directly in front of the fleet, the abrupt metal triangle on the Atlas asteroid base was slowly opening at the moment.
At the same time, Atlas's miner leader, George, was sitting nervously in a highly guarded space in the core area, with the 'core control component' of the large-scale mining and refining core floating behind him.
"Mining operations department, decompose ray generator, start self-test!"
