Chapter 398 The Imperial Commander’s Fear
Of course, the highlights of this level of battleship are not just these.
As the flagship of civilization, its manufacturing process almost consumed the empire's thousands of years of resource accumulation.
Although it appears to be only over a thousand kilometers away, its mass is astonishingly large.
With a body of one thousand kilometers, the total mass contained in it has exceeded that of ordinary planets, and is even said to be comparable to that of stars.
And the shield system and energy system used internally are also at the highest level in the entire empire.
All in all, although this battleship looks like just a battleship on the surface, it actually represents the ultimate level of technology in the empire.
At this time, as the application passed, this warship began to take action. This was the six hundredth year of its continuous mission in the universe.
This warship was manufactured six hundred years ago. After it was manufactured, it was debugged for about 100 years. After the debugging was completed, it was sent out to perform its mission.
It has been successful in its previous missions.
For the captain of this battleship, this mission was no exception. Although the number of insect swarms was extremely exaggerated, it was still not enough to see in front of him.
So when he received the order, he immediately started to take action, and the next moment he saw ripples appearing around the battleship.
The goodbye at this time seemed to be in a pool of water. After a while, only a ball of red light enveloped the battleship, and then the space was distorted and the battleship disappeared in place.
When this battleship appeared again, he had already arrived at the edge of this interstellar dust belt.
Without too much hesitation, it headed directly towards the target location.
At this time, inside the interstellar dust belt, players are fighting back and forth with the empire.
"It's time for Team 2 to take action." At this time, Emperor Penguin saw that the time was ripe and immediately asked the members of Team 2 to lead the banelings to conduct a pilot blast.
As the Emperor Penguin finished speaking, tens of thousands of Corruptors were seen speeding towards the planned location given by the Emperor Penguin.
Of course, only 10 of the tens of thousands of incubators are real, and all the others are fakes.
Although the enemy did not bring anti-induced ships in this battle, this did not stop players from experimenting with this routine.
Anyway, for them, if they can't blow up the anti-inducing ship, they can directly blow up the conventional combat ship. As long as they can detonate it at the predetermined location, then their goal will be achieved.
It is normal for the empire to not bring these ships to this area, because normal jumps cannot be made here at all. If you want to jump, you have to rush out of this area, so there is nothing essential about whether they bring them or not. the difference.
At this time, just as the players thought, as they started to take action, they saw countless enemy artillery fire coming over.
At the same time, nearly 10 teams also started to take action. Although the enemy who discovered the trick immediately turned their fire, but unfortunately there were too many players, so these teams successfully raided the predetermined location.
The next moment as the violent insects detonated, the empire lost nearly 300,000 warships in an instant.
Of course, players can only play this kind of bombing once.
Because their number of banelings is relatively small, even this batch of banelings was pieced together by them.
Originally, these banelings were reserved by their respective guilds as a means of suppressing the situation, because it was inevitable to encounter enemy raids when operating in these places.
So every guild secretly prepared a batch of banelings to prevent such a situation, and now they are directly contributing these banelings for the experiment.
And with the success of this batch of raids, the players became excited. It is obvious that this routine is feasible. Use fakes to attract others' attention and create opportunities for the real ones. As long as the number of fakes is large enough, it will be difficult for the enemy. Find out the real thing.
Although more than 80% of the fakes in this batch were copied for them by the detection team established by Jiang Yao.
But for them, as long as the routine is feasible, they can introduce a large number of eyeworms back home.
But now it is obvious that their routine was successful and achieved good results.
And this wave of their operations obviously frightened the commander of the empire.
"Damn it! Is this kind of insect so powerful?"
Seeing themselves being taken away instantly, the commanders of the Bright Empire couldn't help but look gloomy, even though they had some knowledge of this kind of bug before.
But he never expected that this kind of insect could have such destructive power.
Of course, this is normal. After all, the imperial troops who fought with the players were their anti-bone boys. Although they later obtained some information from the anti-bone boys, this information was not comprehensive.
When they wanted to get more information, the rebels were eliminated by mysterious forces.
Therefore, the information they obtained now was relatively one-sided, and it was also for this reason that he mistakenly underestimated the power of banelings.
Although the losses were heavy, for him, as long as he cleared the trump card of the insect swarm, it would definitely be of great help to future operations. Therefore, although he felt pained by the sacrifice of this batch of battleships, it was barely enough for him now. It can be accepted that after all, he also obtained some useful information no matter what the difference.
For him, as long as he knows that the enemy has this method, he can take precautions in advance in the future. Therefore, he will come up with strategies in advance to deal with banelings in future battles.
Compared to banelings, the thing that troubles him most now is the bunch of fakes in the hands of players.
At the beginning, he didn't know that there were so many fakes in the hands of players. When he saw so many bugs at first, he instinctively called for support. Only after the battle started did he realize that something was wrong. .
Because the firepower of this group of bugs is completely wrong.
According to the attack of this level by the insect swarm, in his opinion, their warships would most likely be destroyed like dumplings.
After all, they had conducted many rounds of duels with the players before, so he had a certain understanding of the general situation of the players.
But when the battle between the two sides started, he realized that this situation was completely wrong, because the opponent's firepower was a bit abnormally low. When he was wondering, he suddenly discovered that one of the opponent's bugs turned into smoke and dissipated after being killed. After seeing this scene, he immediately understood that there were a lot of fakes here to confuse their hearing and hearing.
Originally, he wanted to let the civilization flagship go back at this time, after all, it can be kept as a trump card, but unfortunately at this time, the civilization flagship has jumped away, so it doesn't make much sense to let it go back at this time.
After all, when it lands in this area, no matter how hard you hide it, the other party will be able to find it.
And then again, even if the insect swarm knew that they had such a warship, what would happen? With their current strength, they would never be able to come up with any troops that could compete with it.
And this was one of his thoughts during this period. He originally thought about letting the civilization flagship come over for a formality and show off his muscles, but who would have thought that just when he thought so, the Zerg gave him another big gift? .
That's the explosion of this round.
Although he doesn't care much about this kind of explosion, how to crack the insect swarm's explosion strategy is what he is more concerned about now.
Because the swarm used thousands of fakes to confuse the real ones and brought the baneling drones closer, he currently had no effective way to counter this swarm's routine.
The first is mobility. The maneuverability of the insect swarm is faster than that of their conventional cruisers.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, when the swarm chooses to raid, even if it retreats, it will not make much sense, and in such a battlefield, your retreat may cause much greater losses than if you directly bear this wave.
This time, the number of players is so small that they can't feel anything, but if the real ones in the swarm reach tens of millions, once your formation is messed up, it will be a big problem.
It won't work if I don't retreat at that time. After all, if I don't retreat, I'll just take on you this time. God knows how many waves of this kind of routine you've prepared for me in the future. It's definitely not going to work.
And this was what made him most uncomfortable. Logically speaking, if the insect swarm detonated in this way, he would still be able to accept it if they were all genuine products.
Because the loss of the insect swarm is definitely not much smaller than his, but now the insect swarm uses fake products, which is very uncomfortable.
In this wave of explosions, the swarm released thirty or forty real ones, and ended up replacing them with more than 300,000 warships. This meant that no one could withstand a battle loss of 1:10,000.
If this routine of the swarm cannot be solved as soon as possible, it means that the swarm can repeatedly use this routine to exchange battle losses with them. No matter how abundant their resources are, they will never be able to replace it.
Because this amount is too exaggerated, but this solution is not easy to solve, because those fakes are not glass that breaks at a touch, and your battleship has to blast it before it can be revealed.
As for using those low-power lasers to sweep, it doesn't have much effect.
Although the battleship's turret can be identified with one shot, under normal circumstances when the insect swarm attacks, all the battleships can still turn to destroy the insect plan.
But this commander also had to consider another issue, that is, how high the cost of the fakes is. If the cost of the fakes is low, then the problem will be bigger. If someone makes a million fakes to deceive others, how can you still Can it be cleaned up so smoothly?
One million is not enough, he can do tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. As long as the cost of this thing is very low, then he can operate it unlimitedly.
After the base reaches a certain level, even if it all turns to fire, it doesn't mean much because there is simply not enough time.
So the best strategy to solve this problem now is to accurately identify which of these bugs are real and which are fake.
But what he never expected was that the insect swarm's ability to forge was beyond his knowledge, because not only were these insects indistinguishable from appearance, but they were also indistinguishable even when scanned using various methods of shipboard radar.
This is outrageous, because there will always be differences between your fakes and real ones, such as energy dissipation or other invisible differences, but any frequency and fluctuation emitted by the fakes created by these bugs are It is exactly the same as the real thing.
So now he can only place his hope on their civilized flagship. He hopes that the ship-borne radar on his civilized flagship can determine the authenticity of the other party.
Because this is very important to him. Once there is a situation where even the civilization flagship cannot be confirmed, then he can predict how disgusted they will be in the future by these bugs using this routine.
While he was waiting anxiously, the civilization flagship finally arrived on the battlefield.
As the civilization flagship began to scan, he was anxiously waiting for the final scan results.
And this result is bound to disappoint him, because the answer given by the civilization flagship after scanning is indistinguishable.
"Now things are in trouble. Even the civilization flagship cannot confirm the authenticity of the other party." At this point, the commander's expression has changed.
Perhaps at first he thought this group of insects was very difficult, but now he has added another difficulty to it.
For him, every little thing from the enemy on the battlefield can affect the outcome of the battle.
"It seems that we can only collect as much data as possible on this battle, and wait until we return to the empire to study solutions."
"These bugs are getting more and more out of our control. They have more attack methods than before, and they have mastered more techniques."
"If this trend continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before even we can't compete with it."
"We must report it to the higher ups and let them use the full strength of the empire to find the location of the bugs and eliminate them. This race is so terrible that they must not be allowed to develop."
At this point, the commander sighed, and then he ordered the civilization flagship to start cleaning up the bugs in the field.
At this time, with the entrance of the civilization flagship, the players' eyes were naturally attracted to it.
After all, this big guy is too eye-catching.
Of course, the players attacked this big guy as soon as they saw it, but after a few rounds of shooting, they found that they couldn't hit it at all, so they immediately turned their fire to other enemy boats. .
In fact, the players were somewhat surprised by this wave of battles. What they did not expect was that with the cooperation of these insects, such amazing results could be achieved.
When they originally formulated this combat plan, their expectation for this battle was to be satisfied with cleaning up the empire's nearly 100,000 warships.
As a result, who would have thought that they have killed nearly 1 million warships so far? This is something they never expected.
Of course, the main reason why such amazing results can be achieved is due to the cooperation of a large number of fighting locusts and fakes.
