The distance between the two sides is not very far, it just exceeds the range of the pitiful number of energy weapons on the second- and third-level civilized warships.
But even at such a short distance, the railgun's attack still needs to fly for several minutes.
And this time is enough for the First Fleet to avoid the most intensive areas of attack.
A large number of solid projectiles, hundreds of them in total, hit the Star's shield hard.
If this were to be replaced by a garrison battleship of the Kerry Empire, or a Derek-class battleship, the Star without zero-point energy support would probably have no choice but to suffer.
But it's a pity that these are just subpar railgun attacks that can't even stir up a ripple.
The Federation once conducted a simulation. If you wanted to use a railgun attack to instantly defeat a Zhurong-class warship, it would only be possible if you hit thousands of rounds at the same time, let alone the Federation's most powerful warship, the Star.
On the contrary, the Federation's attack was extremely sharp.
Except for a small number of battleships with energy shields, most of the other battleships were almost taken away by one shot.
As for the small number, most of them were lucky and just got hit or hit in insignificant places.
But no matter how bad your luck is, you usually can't escape the three-shot rule.
The entire battlefield is a massacre, a one-sided massacre!
It was not until half an hour later that the Freedom Alliance fleet, which had lost more than half of its fleet, finally collapsed.
The remaining warships, numbering more than 100,000, panicked and fled frantically into the wormhole.
But the entrance of the wormhole is so big, how can it be possible for more than 100,000 warships to squeeze in together?
then...
Stampede...
Ah no...
Collisions occurred one after another.
Coupled with the Federation's continuous firepower, the number of warships that were able to successfully escape into the wormhole in the end was even less than 20,000.
A normal war only lasts for an hour.
But in just this hour, the Freedom Alliance lost more than 290,000 warships.
On the Federation side, there was zero loss, at most it was just a waste of energy.
Of course, just because the Federation can achieve this step, it does not mean that the other three major forces can also achieve this step.
Maybe the Kerry Empire's garrison fleet can do it, and so can the Derek-class fleet.
But conventional fleets absolutely cannot do this.
You can win, but you will also have to pay some losses.
As for the fleets of the other two major forces, they have almost the same results as the regular fleets of the Kerry Empire.
Otherwise, the Freedom Alliance would not be able to play both sides of the three major forces over the years.
However, although these more than 200,000 battleships may seem like a lot to other forces, to the Freedom Alliance, they are not a huge thorn in the side.
After all, the entire Free Alliance now has more than five million warships.
Yes, battleships are indeed rubbish, and their combat effectiveness is even more weak, but there are many civilizations, and the number of battleships is even greater.
Even if each civilization builds one battleship per year, there will be hundreds of thousands of battleships in a year.
In terms of violent force capabilities, the Freedom Alliance is definitely the best of all forces.

After taking down the entrance to the wormhole connecting the galactic channel, Mu Qianshan's Tenth Fleet, with a total of more than 2,000 warships, immediately came to take over the place and began to build the planned iron wall defense line.
Soon, the entrance to the wormhole was covered with space mines, and a large number of components of the defense platform were continuously transported here and assembled.
At the same time, three large war fortresses also began to be built here.
Obviously, the Federation intends to completely block this...
The only wormhole that connects the Orion Arm and the Galactic Center Channel.
After the Tenth Fleet took over, Jiang Xingchen's First Fleet was also freed up.
What do you do with your hands free?
Divide the forces, directly use the squadron as the scale, and split the entire First Fleet into ten squadrons.
Begin a thorough cleanup...
Orion Arm!
There is almost no difficulty in this step.
After all, since the Freedom Alliance took over the wormhole entrance ten years ago, there are no other three major civilizations on the Orion Arm.
In this way, the occupiers of each star system are all those second- and third-level technological civilizations affiliated with the Freedom Alliance.
The size of a squadron is three hundred Zhurong-class battleships.
Let alone fighting a second- and third-level civilization, even if you encounter a fleet composed of tens of thousands of Free Alliance warships, you won't panic.
It was basically a flat push mode, and I didn't even encounter any decent resistance along the way.
The once benevolent old Commonwealth is long gone.
What appears on the arm of Orion at this moment is a man with hundreds of years of blood feud, wielding a butcher knife indiscriminately against all civilizations...
New Federation!
------
Year 11 of the New Federation Calendar.
After a year and a half, the first phase of the combat mission to return to the Milky Way has officially come to an end.
Except for the solar system, all star systems in the entire Orion Arm have been completely cleaned.
There are now four federal fleets stationed on the arms.
First Fleet.
It has one battle star and 3,000 Zhurong-class battleships.
Second Fleet.
It has one thousand Zhurong-class battleships, 300 Xingtian-class battleships, and 800 Houyi-class cruisers.
Third Fleet.
It has one thousand Zhurong-class battleships, 300 Xingtian-class battleships, and 800 Houyi-class cruisers.
Tenth Fleet.
It has 500 Zhurong-class battleships, 200 Xingtian-class battleships, 500 Houyi-class cruisers, 1,200 Wuluo-class destroyers, and 3,000 Qingluan-class frigates.
As for the other fleets, they are still stationed in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Because, almost all Zhurong, Xingtian and Houyi class battleships have been deployed to these four fleets.
Even relying on very large transport ships, many Wuluo and Qingluan-class battleships without hyperspace engines were transported to the arm.
However, these battleships have been assigned to the Tenth Fleet and are responsible for the task of blocking the wormhole entrance.
Therefore, the remaining six fleets cannot come to the arm now, and even if they come, they will not be of much use.
Because these six fleets are now almost all composed of Wuluo and Qingluan class.
It’s not a big problem to stay in the Large Magellanic Cloud and intimidate the affiliated civilizations there, but it’s better to get it on the arm and fight the fleets of the three fourth-level civilizations.
It really doesn't work...
At the same time, after this new round of reorganization, although the 10th Fleet is not the strongest in terms of overall combat power, it is now the largest in the Federation in terms of the number of battleships.
A total of 5,400 warships.
------
Outside the solar system.
The First Fleet is gathering here.
In addition to the first fleet, there is also a white spaceship.
This spacecraft is comparable in size to a mothership, but no weapons can be seen.
After all, this is not a battleship, but a research ship of the Ministry of Science.
And there is only one purpose for their trip, to escape from the time bubble surrounding the solar system...
