The outer orbit of the planet Semels, the flagship of the main fleet of the Fourth Army of the Galactic Republic.
"Sir, we had drones approaching the three warships that appeared at the edge of the galaxy that you asked me to monitor, but they were quickly shot down. The optical image is being transmitted now and there are still 5 minutes to receive it." A radar soldier came.
Go to the fleet adjutant and say to him.
Soon, the optical image was transmitted, along with the most basic data.
There are three warships, the middle one is 1550 meters long, and the overall shape is like one body. It looks like a long knife. However, at the bow position, a huge opening is installed somewhat abruptly, which somewhat destroys the overall beauty of the warship.
.
The other two ships are 1,254 meters long. The upper part is rounded in shape, but the lower part is roughly rectangular. From a distance, it looks like a bird crouching on the ground.
The adjutant pondered, "These three battleships are obviously at the level of battleships. Why not just jump to the edge of the gravity well of the planet Semels and then join Trench's formation? If you break away from the formation like this, you will want to see it from a distance.
Drama? They are at the edge of the galaxy now and can't do anything at all."
He walked towards the fleet commander, Admiral Davis, and wanted to seek his opinion, "General, I detected those three battleships..."
Before I finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!
The signal trooper shouted: "General!! There is a situation!! All our clone armies have lost contact!! Master Ladul has also lost contact!!"
Admiral Davis was shocked, "This is impossible! We just received a report from the Clone Legion 10 minutes ago! Everything is normal!! There is no way that something can cause them all to lose contact within 10 minutes!"
In panic, the movements of the three warships were directly ignored by Admiral Davis.
Anyway, a new batch of reinforcements has arrived, and he still has 56 Jaeger-class battlecruisers and 120 small and medium-sized battleships in his hands. In the face of such a powerful force, only three thousand-meter-class battleships are still left alone.
The kind that would never cause him any trouble.
"Send additional fighter formations immediately! Conduct on-the-spot investigation of the war situation in the Capital Region!"
"What's the status of the war in the various directions of the natural man corps?" Admiral Davis immediately began to respond, "And Master Wilf Munn! Contact him immediately! Hurry!!"
However, misfortunes never come singly, and the adjutant received another news!
"Sir! It has been detected that the battleship in the center is charging!" the radar soldier monitoring the other side said loudly.
"Charging! No! When did this happen?!" the adjutant reacted immediately.
"According to the time, this is information from 16 hours ago! Because they are at the edge of the galaxy, 0.019 light-years away from us, it will take 16 hours for the data to be transmitted back at the speed of light!" said the radar soldier.
When the adjutant heard this, he didn't care anymore. He rushed forward and pulled General Davis over, almost shouting into his ear: "General! We are under attack!!
"
"Attack? Where's the attack!" General Davis was dragged staggering and became furious. If the battle situation had not been urgent, he would have slapped him in the face.
However, before he finished speaking, the answer had already arrived!
The window suddenly brightened up without warning! An extremely dazzling orange-red light instantly illuminated a Jaeger-class battlecruiser in the main fleet formation of the Fourth Army!
This light was so dazzling that some warship operators who witnessed this scene through the portholes covered their eyes and screamed loudly. They were temporarily blinded by the bright light!
This light gradually extinguished after being illuminated for about a second, became thinner and darker, and became reddish in color. In the end, it was even clearly visible that this was not a separate light, but a direct ray of light.
There is also a spiral energy trajectory surrounding this light!
As for the Jaeger-class battlecruiser that was illuminated, thick smoke began to billow from the hull! The deflector shield was destroyed, and many parts of the outer armor were also damaged. It is foreseeable that with the Jaeger-class battlecruiser,
The protective capabilities of a single layer of armor will definitely not be able to withstand it again!
"Where did the attack come from?!" General Davis grabbed the adjutant's shoulder like an angry lion.
"It should...it should be the one in the middle of the three warships at the edge of the galaxy that fired it! We just received the news that this warship was charging 16 hours ago!" the adjutant said quickly, "They were charging 16 hours ago.
16 hours later, the news of the recharging arrived almost at the same time as their attack! This is a light speed attack!"
"Light speed attack?! Is it an energy weapon? Impossible! How can there be an energy weapon with a range that can span half of the planet system!!" Admiral Davis turned pale.
His fear is not unreasonable, because the theoretical maximum range of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is 10 light minutes, and it is difficult to guarantee the power at this range. And this is the range of the heavy turbolaser cannon!
The heavy turbolaser cannon does not fire pure light speed, but plasma explosive gas, so it is actually a sub-light speed semi-energy weapon.
As for the laser cannon, which is a pure energy weapon, the current technology of the Galactic Republic does not have a range that can exceed 5 light minutes!
But what was the range of the strike just now? 0.0019 light-years! Equivalent to 16 light-hours! Nearly 200 times the maximum range of the Republic's laser cannon!!
Admiral Davis suddenly reacted and shouted: "Quick! All battleships leave the place immediately! Move!!!"
However, his words were still a step late. The extremely dazzling light lit up again, and once again shone on the Jaeger-class battlecruiser just now!
This time, there was no luck. With the rays of light, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser exploded from top to bottom, turning it into a huge fireball! A fireball mixed with countless molten armor and molten iron.
!!
Admiral Davis's order was also implemented, and all the warships of the Republic Fleet began to move away from their original positions.
Soon, the third and fourth attacks came one after another, all shining on the wreckage of the Chasseur-class ship that was destroyed just now. Obviously, the opponent also did not know the effect of the attack, nor did he know this terrible
How many shots does it take for a laser weapon to destroy a Jaeger-class vessel, so it just keeps attacking the same place.
Without using hyperspace communication, the data from here needs to be transmitted back, and it also takes 16 hours to wait.
However, neither the Galactic Republic nor the Confederation of Independent Systems has tactical-level hyperspace communication capabilities, because this requires the construction of an independent hyperspace communication base station.
But that is precisely why the Republic Fleet has no way to counter this ultra-long-distance light speed energy weapon shooting!
Because when you get the news that the other party is firing, the other party's attack will also arrive at the same time.
After thinking about this, Admiral Davis felt fear! If this weapon can be mass-produced, then the current design and tactical planning of all the Galactic Republic's warships will be completely overturned!
"Send out a combat formation immediately! Rush over and kill those three warships!!" Admiral Davis roared.
