According to the intelligence, the size of the Ser fleet stationed in the Hailan star system is 61 ships.
Among them are one cruiser, 12 destroyers, and 48 frigates. In addition, there are 826 space fighters, 360 of which are located in the fortress.
Although it looks quite intimidating, in fact the only thing worth fearing is the cruiser!
After all, it is just a second-level elementary civilization, not to mention things like energy weapons and energy shields, not even jump technology.
Want to buy them all from your own overlord civilization?
Yes, it is possible, but the price of purchasing a fleet is definitely not something that the Republic of Seer can afford.
Therefore, except that the cruiser is equipped with an energy shield and an energy weapon as the main gun, the other warships have no energy shield at all, and even the weapons are basically all railguns.
As for the jump engine, all battleships are equipped with it.
It's just the products of level three civilization. The price is not as exaggerated as the products of level four civilization, and it is still within the affordable range of the Republic of Seer.
Of course, although the cruiser is equipped with the weapons and energy shields of the Kaili Empire, the Kaili Empire will definitely not sell its most advanced to them. Basically, whether it is firepower or defense, it is roughly the same as the weapons.
Luo number one level.
Very threatening, but not impossible to deal with.
Therefore, the most critical point still lies in how to not let any warship escape during the process of annihilating it.
For a while, everyone was a little silent, and no one came up with any good ideas.
Normally, unless all battleships are defeated instantly, people can always run away if they want to, and the entire jump process only takes a few seconds.
"Admiral Mu, can I ask what level of jump engine the Threr warships use?"
Finally, Jiang Xingchen, who had been silent from the beginning until now, spoke.
According to the division of civilizations in the galaxy, the jump engine is divided into three levels.
The first level, which is the most basic jump engine, can only use the gravitational field of celestial bodies to make jumps, and the destination can also only be set within the gravitational field of celestial bodies.
To put it simply, you can only jump from planet to planet, but cannot jump to a place without a gravity field.
At the second level, although it is also necessary to use the gravity field of celestial bodies to open a gravity channel to achieve a jump, the destination...
But it can be set anywhere within the range of a single jump.
Finally, there is the third level of jump engine.
When entering level four civilization and technology is further developed, warships no longer need to rely on the gravity field of celestial bodies, but can use special devices to self-generate a temporary gravity field to achieve the purpose of leaping.
In other words, there will no longer be any restrictions on either the starting point or the arrival point.
"According to the intelligence, that cruiser is of the second level, and the rest are of the first level."
"After all, it's just a second-level elementary civilization. Its territory and resources are very limited. It's impossible to play high-end."
Mu Zhengfeng replied.
"If that's the case, then we will first use a small number of warships to lure the enemy. After the Threr fleet is far away from the planet, the remaining warships will jump behind."
"On the one hand, it forms a pincer attack with the enemy fleet, and on the other hand, it cuts off its retreat route into the planet's gravity field!"
After hearing Mu Zhengfeng's affirmative answer, Jiang Xingchen also expressed his thoughts.
However, what no one noticed was that a flash of disappointment flashed in Mu Zhengfeng's eyes.
It's not that there is anything wrong with Jiang Xingchen's tactic, on the contrary, this tactic is exactly what Mu Zhengfeng had in mind.
He and Lu Weiming also simulated this strategy dozens of times, and finally came to a conclusion.
This method is feasible. As long as there are no accidents, the losses of the rebels should be controlled to the extent of three frigates.
The reason why he did not directly announce the battle plan at the beginning was actually because he had some expectations in his heart. He expected Jiang Xingchen to come up with a better and surprising plan like the previous times.
But unfortunately, this hope came to nothing, so there was a little bit of disappointment.
However, at this moment, Jiang Xingchen spoke again.
"Admiral, actually I have a more radical idea..."
"Huh? Say it!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Zhengfeng immediately became energetic.
He is not afraid of Jiang Xingchen being radical, but he is afraid of being mediocre.
"Although there is no big problem with the plan just now, the opponent has a cruiser after all, and it is equipped with energy weapons and energy shields."
"So, although we can capture the other party and prevent the other party from passing on the message, there is also a problem, that is, our own losses will definitely not be small."
"I just made a preliminary estimate. If eight frigates and one destroyer are dispatched, even if everything goes smoothly, our loss estimate will reach three frigates."
"But it's obvious that this loss is a bit too big for our current situation!"
Hearing this, Mu Zhengfeng was also slightly shocked.
Is this the effect of 20% of the brain being developed?
You know, even he and Lu Weiming came to this conclusion after dozens of simulations, even with the help of computers.
However, Jiang Xingchen calculated this result in just a few minutes with only his own head, and it was extremely accurate.
This really surprised him.
"So, is there any way you can reduce the loss?"
"Yes, use a Jiangkai III patrol ship to directly replace the opponent's cruiser!"
"Huh? Tell me how to operate it!"
Obviously, Jiang Xingchen aroused Mu Zhengfeng's curiosity.
Replacing a Jiangkai III patrol ship with a cruiser equipped with an energy shield?
Is this kind of thing really possible?
If it is possible, how can it be done?
Not only Mu Zhengfeng was curious, but all the captains present were also curious.
"The Admiral must have read the previous battle report between the Wuluo and the two Kerry Empire frigates, right?"
"I've seen it. Is this related to what you just said?"
"Of course there is. In fact, the method is very simple. It is to reverse the method I used when destroying that frigate!"
Everyone present here is at least the captain of the rebel frigate, and the battle report of that battle, especially the process of Jiang Xingchen's mecha destroying the frigate, has long been distributed as a classic battle example, so they have naturally seen it.
The method of using jump channels to destroy enemy ships can be applied in reverse?
Even after saying this step, many people still didn't react, but...
Mu Zhengfeng understood somewhat, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
But there seems to be another problem here.
"I understand the method you mentioned, but there is one thing I don't understand. Since we are going to use this method, then if we just find a transport ship, the effect should be the same, right?"
"Why must we use a Jiangkai III patrol ship?"
After pondering for a moment, Mu Zhengfeng asked.
"There are three reasons."
"First, although we can now imitate the jump engine, there is still a big gap in target accuracy compared to the jump engines on the Hope or Fuxing. And whether this method can be successful depends largely on the jump engine.
It is absolutely accurate and cannot have any errors.”
"Second, the cargo ship we built ourselves does not have remote control capabilities. If we must use a cargo ship, we will have to risk the lives of several crew members."
"Although we can achieve the purpose of remote control by modifying a cargo ship, due to the original design problems, we may have to make major changes."
"This is not only troublesome, but also consumes a lot of time. It is impossible without a month or two."
"Last point, well, judging from the current situation, cargo ships are far more important than patrol ships!"
"After all, a cargo ship can take away tens of thousands of people in one operation, but a patrol ship... can have 200 people."
Although Jiang Xingchen mentioned three points, the most important point is actually the first point.
If the success rate of using the Hope or Fuxing to perform this mission can reach 80%, then using a cargo ship, the success rate may be only 40%, which is directly cut in half.
This is the most important thing.
The entire conference room fell silent instantly, and everyone had a look of deep thought on their faces.
I have to say that Jiang Xingchen's method is indeed very radical.
Because, even if the Hope or Fuxing is used, the success rate is not 100%. If not, a patrol ship will be lost in vain.
But on the contrary, if it succeeds, the rebels may not even lose a single frigate in this battle.
Radical?
Radical indeed!
However, it is worth a try!
The next moment, Mu Zhengfeng already made a decision in his heart! "
