The distance of 1.7 light seconds cannot be said to be very far, but it cannot be said to be very close either.
Second- and third-level battleships affiliated with civilization can only be attacked by physical projectiles such as railguns.
But the problem is that the distance of 1.7 light seconds, based on the speed of railgun projectiles, would take a long time to fly there, and by that time the warships would no longer be at this location.
Of course, you can also adopt a large-scale barrage attack strategy.
Directly cover the entire area with a huge number of attacks. In this way, no matter where the Star moves to within a certain distance, it will be hit.
But in this case, only one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand of your attacks may hit the target.
Not to mention the Star, even the Houyi can withstand this attack.
As for the battleships and frigates of the fourth-level civilization, they also cannot hit that far.
Although energy weapons are used, they are limited by the size of the weapons, energy supply, etc...
The furthest it can only hit is about 1.5 light seconds, and only the main gun can hit this distance.
Therefore, the position where Jiang Xingchen chose to exit the transition was the result of strict calculations.
At this distance, only the cruisers and battleships of the four major civilizations can reach it.
And there are less than thirty warships of this level here now.
"Captain, the opponent's second- and third-level civilization battleships are spreading out. It is judged that they are preparing to surround our ship from multiple directions. At the same time, it has been detected that the weapons of some battleships of the four major civilizations are being charged."
"Is the zero-point energy module connected to the shield system?"
"Already connected, the shield strength is increased by 782%, and the recharge speed is increased by 1025%."
"Can you screen out the flagship of the Kerry Empire?"
"Can."
"Make a mark!"
"Time, marked!"
"Wang Feng, avoid the marked warships. They will give you a greeting gift, but it's just a thought. Don't really reimburse others."
"Yes, Captain!"
The next moment, almost at the same time, both sides opened fire at the same time.
The distance is 1.7 light seconds. For energy weapons, unless you are performing irregular maneuvers from the beginning, there is basically no room for evasion, and the hit rate is surprisingly high.
"Report, the attack received 476 attacks, and the shield remaining is 99.4%... No, it is 99.5% now."
hiss...
After hearing this report, everyone on the bridge was surprised.
A wave of 476 attacks hit 28 battleships of level 4 technological civilization. As a result, the Star's shield dropped by 0.6%, and it recharged by 0.1% in 2 or 3 seconds?
Simply outrageous!
It simply corresponds to that sentence...
I'll stand here and fight you as you please. If I can break the shield, I'll lose!
However, considering the cross-generational technology of zero-point energy, it is normal.
Of course, these are less than thirty battleships. If there were thousands or even tens of thousands of battleships of the same level, the Star would not dare to stay where it is now.
Otherwise, no matter how fast you recharge, it will be useless. Can you break the shield instantly?
Compared with the calm situation on the Star's side, the other side was not calm.
Wang Feng directly rewarded each of their warships with a particle accelerator cannon.
Except for those battleships, which were in better condition and only lost a little over 10% of their shield integrity, the other cruisers were not in good condition, losing nearly 30% of their shield integrity.
According to this calculation, only four shield rounds will be reimbursed.
However, the most baffling thing is Kyle.
"What did you say?"
"Humans are the only ones who didn't attack our battleships?"
On the bridge of the Kerry Empire's battleship, Kyle shouted with his eyes widened.
"Yes, Commander, except for us, all cruisers and battleships have been attacked."
"What are those humans planning?"
"Commander, I received a communication request from that battle star, do you want to connect it?"
At this moment, the communications officer's voice rang out, and everyone who heard this was stunned.
What the hell?
Even if he attacked everyone except us before...
Still want to contact us now?
"Commander, I suggest not to connect. After all, just now..."
Beside, the adjutant reminded in a low voice.
Although he didn't say anything further, how could Kyle not understand this meaning.
Aren't you just afraid that you will be suspected of colluding with humans?
Don't be ridiculous, who doesn't know that I, Kyle, hates humans the most in the entire galaxy.
"Put it through for me. I want to see what tricks these humans are doing, and at the same time notify the fleets of other affiliated civilizations. I will try my best to delay the time and let them encircle them at full speed!"
"Yes, Commander!"
A few seconds later, a figure was projected.
Looking at the smiling human youth in front of him, Kyle's unspeakable disgust could even be reflected in his expression uncontrollably.
"Human, tell me your identity!"
"Captain, as for the captain of a battleship... he's right in front of you, isn't he?"
To be honest, when he heard this, even Kyle was stunned for a moment, and even felt a little sour.
captain?
The human being in front of me must be in his early twenties at most, right?
What about yourself?
Fifty is almost there.
It turns out that he is the captain of the most powerful battleship in the entire galaxy. Is there no one else available to humans?
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I want the precise location of those insect mounds, as well as detailed data on the relevant areas."
"impossible!"
"Commander Kyle, I suggest you don't refuse in a hurry. Giving me this information will not pose any threat to you. On the contrary, it will be of great benefit to you."
"What's the meaning?"
"Commander Kyle thinks, why do I need this information?"
"You humans want to..."
After hearing this, Kyle seemed to understand a little.
The only use of this information is to determine where those bugs are in the Death Nebula.
So, humans are preparing to have a fight with those bugs?
But why?
Logically speaking, watching the four major civilizations fight to the death against these bugs is more in the interests of mankind, right?
Moreover, even if humans have such a battle star, they may not be able to defeat those insects. Hundreds of thousands of tailed scorpion insects fire energy bombs. How long can even a battle star resist?
You know, it's not like outside, where there is enough space for you to perform, but you can only fight hand-to-hand with endless insects.
"reason?"
After taking a deep look at Jiang Xingchen, Kyle asked in a deep voice.
"Once those bugs break out, who does Commander Kyle think will be the first to suffer?"
"Moreover, if you allow that female insect to evolve, are you really sure that you will be able to deal with it after it evolves?"
"If that's not enough, then..."
"Commander Kyle, are you really ready to be an outcast?"
Hearing this, Kyle's eyes suddenly froze.
Abandoned son...
Does this guy already know this?
Moreover, what he said is correct. Once those bugs rush out, the four major civilizations can still rely on the wormholes to block them all within the Orion arm.
But the hundreds of billions of humans on Orion's arms...
No wonder they have been desperately attacking various star systems and saving humans during this period.
The most important thing is that even if humans cannot eliminate those bugs, as long as they severely damage those bugs, it will be of great benefit to themselves.
only...
"Even if I give you that information, it is simply impossible for the human fleet to pass through us and enter the channel."
"Besides, with your dozens of warships, even if you go in, I don't think you have the strength to deal with those bugs."
After pondering for a while, Kyle asked.
"Commander Kyle, don't worry. Even if we can't defeat us, it doesn't matter to you at all. It's better to say that you don't have to do anything. Those bugs will help you deal with us, right?"
"Okay, I can give you these information!"
"commander!"
Hearing Kyle's words, the adjutant beside him became anxious instantly.
"Shut up!"
"We'll talk about other things later. Now pass the information to them."
"This...is, Commander!"
The adjutant, who was still trying to persuade him, immediately caught Kyle's murderous gaze. He immediately gave up and had no choice but to do as he was told.
After a while.
"Commander, the data transmission has been completed."
"Very good, cut off communication, and you come with me!"
"yes!"
The next moment, the communication was cut off, and Kyle stood up and walked out of the bridge, while the adjutant quickly followed.
Outside the bridge.
"Kill everyone who was on the bridge just now, leaving no one behind!"
"commander?"
"Don't you understand?"
Looking at his adjutant, Kyle sighed slightly.
You have been following me for so long, why are you so slow?
So, I briefly explained the upper management's plan and my own analysis.
At this moment, the adjutant suddenly realized.
No wonder the commander's expression suddenly changed when humans said the word "abandoned son".
It turns out that this is the reason.
The most important thing is that when the time comes, it may not only be Kyle who becomes the abandoned son, but he himself may also be implicated.
How does this work?
Suddenly, the adjutant's eyes became fierce.
"If you understand, just do as I say, and remember to be clean!"
"Yes, Commander!"
------
One minute later.
After confirming that the information was correct, the Star left directly through the hyperspace engine.
Not long after the Star left, the battleship of the Kerry Empire suddenly exploded in the bridge.
Except for Kyle, who just left the bridge, and Kyle's adjutant, no one on the entire bridge survived.
According to preliminary investigation results, a human slave knocked out a Kerry soldier, put on a combat uniform, and sneaked into the bridge carrying explosives.
immediately...
boom!!
Although this incident is quite outrageous, with surveillance records as evidence, what happened is very clear.
Immediately, Kyle issued a ban on all Imperial warships.
From this moment on, no one is allowed to bring any human slaves into the battleship.
------
Just when Kyle was dealing with the attack on the bridge.
The Xingchen also returned to Canglan Star, and Jiang Xingchen was immediately called to the fleet headquarters...
