Think of the worm mound as a pile, and then perform a circling show at ridiculously fast speeds.
In fact, this is not a tactic used by battleships, but a tactic commonly used by mecha troops.
Because the battleship is too fast and difficult to turn, it is not suitable for such operation.
But there are also special circumstances, like now...
"The area where the insect swarm is located has been locked!"
"Plasma cannon fire!"
"Railgun array, salvo!"
At this moment, all the weapons officer has to do is just one thing, just as Jiang Xingchen said, keep outputting, outputting, and outputting!
For the rest, don’t worry about anything else!
After the main gun is fully charged, find a place with lots of insects and fire a shot directly.
When the main gun restarts charging, the railgun array begins to show its power.
In short, one wave after another attacked, and they were smashed into the insect swarm.
Perhaps, if dozens or hundreds of bugs are eliminated each time, the female bug will hardly feel anything.
But the question is, if such a loss continues a hundred times, or even hundreds of times, will you still feel it?
it's out of the question!
Not to mention hundreds of times, not long after the attack started and nearly a thousand war bugs were killed, the female bugs had already reacted.
But there is no way!
The speed of the Qingluan is really too fast, and with Jiang Xingchen personally controlling it, it is not just a matter of speed, but no matter how the mother insect mobilizes the insect swarm to intercept, he can always quickly find the weak point and attack it
Decisively rush out before the insect swarm completely encircles you.
Once the Qingluan is rushed out, if you want to try to encircle it next time, you have to wait for the battleship to make a big circle and come back.
Although, at the current speed of the Qingluan, it only takes a few minutes to circle back, but this time is enough for it to fire several main guns and dozens of waves of railguns, and this is not enough for the Worm Mound.
, another loss of hundreds of war bugs.
Of course, it's not like the mother worm has never tried to let the tail scorpion carry out long-range attacks.
But the hit rate is really too low.
The reason why it was so easy to hit earlier was because the Qingluan was stationary in order to save people.
The reason why it can threaten the Qingluan later is because the tail scorpion is located behind the Qingluan.
For example, at the same distance of fifty meters, if the target is stationary 50 meters in front of you, you can easily hit it.
Similarly, if the opponent has his back to you and is running in the opposite direction to you, it is relatively easy to hit him.
But if the opponent is centered on you and runs around you at a distance of 50 meters, you will really not be able to hit it easily.
Therefore, at the same distance of 50 meters, your shooting hit rate can be very different.
As for the tail scorpions, this is the situation now. When a warship with a speed of 380 kilometers per second flies directly around the insect mound, hundreds of tail scorpions can hit 2 in each wave of attacks.
3 shots is pretty good.
And these 2 or 3 energy bombs hardly pose a substantial threat to the Qingluan. It can even be said...
The shield recharges not as fast as it does.
The shield value drops to less than 1%, and then when you attack in the next wave, it will be full again.
I just want to ask you if you are going crazy.
------
It lasted nearly an hour.
Seeing Jiang Xingchen's operation, everyone in the bridge was speechless.
This is not just as simple as controlling a battleship for an hour continuously, but requires maintaining a high degree of mental concentration every second, constantly making the most correct route choice at the first time, and even making various predictions.
During this period, as long as there is any mistake, it will be over.
You know, according to research, normal humans can only maintain a high level of concentration for about 20 minutes at most. After this period of time passes, concentration will begin to decline and they will continue to make mistakes.
Therefore, it is theoretically impossible to maintain a high degree of concentration for an hour without being distracted for a second.
However, during this entire hour, Jiang Xingchen managed to accomplish this almost impossible thing without making even a single mistake.
At this moment, the female insect has completely given up.
For an hour, I couldn't even touch the opponent, but the opponent continued to kill more than 20,000 war bugs of my own.
The continuous reduction of his troops made it increasingly difficult for him to surround the opponent's warships.
If there were a few more worm mounds, then it would still have a solution.
However, relying on itself, there is really nothing that can be done against this human warship.
If we continue like this, we will just waste our troops in vain, so...
The female worm no longer intends to consume any more.
Following the spirit sharing network, it issued homing orders to all war bugs and tail scorpions.
However, it didn't want to continue, but Jiang Xingchen didn't want it to end just like that.
In about five minutes, the female worm had recovered all the bugs under its command.
Soon...
It was just like the scene where the insect mound suddenly appeared more than an hour ago, but now it was the other way around.
The huge insect mound is disappearing from sight little by little.
"Weapons officer, lock the location of the insect mound, deploy all railgun arrays with maximum range of dispersed firepower!"
"clear!"
Before the insect mound disappeared completely, weapons officer Wang Feng fired a wave of railgun projectiles according to Jiang Xingchen's order.
However, the way this wave of projectiles was fired was completely different from usual. It was even more dispersed than the barrage-style firepower, almost covering a very large flat area.
And not long after the railgun array's volley fired, the insect mound completely disappeared.
"Captain, the insect mound has disappeared, and the radar cannot scan any trace of it!"
"Wait, don't rush!"
The next moment, the railgun's projectiles arrived, but they didn't hit anything and continued to fly forward in the dark space.
but...
There is one exception!
There was obviously nothing, but the projectile was blocked as if it hit an invisible wall.
"Weapons officer, use the position of the projectile as the center, and then repeat this operation. Use this method to continuously determine the location of the insect mound, and at the same time, fire the main gun for me!"
"Yes, Captain!"
At this moment, Wang Feng finally understood what the strange order Jiang Xingchen had just given was for.
It doesn't matter if you're invisible. Even if I can't see you, I can deploy firepower spread over a wide area to constantly confirm your latest position.
I have to say that this is currently the best way to deal with the Invisibility of the Insect Mound.
Fortunately, this insect mound is huge and moves slowly. Otherwise, if it were replaced by a frigate like Qingluan, even this method would not be very effective.
"Captain, this won't do much good, will it?"
On the side, Fu Wanting asked.
After all, neither the railgun nor the plasma cannon will cause substantial damage to the insect mound. Even if it is a 100% hit, if all the ammunition on the Qingluan is used up, it may not be able to destroy it.
Insect Tomb.
"Wanting, you made a mistake. Our goal is not to destroy the insect mound!"
"Ah, what is that?"
"Let me ask you a question, if you were that female insect and wanted to evacuate, but you were still chased and beaten by me even though you were invisible, what would you do next?"
"Keep evacuating. Anyway, this attack just tickles me, so just ignore it."
When Jiang Xingchen asked, Fu Wanting answered directly.
However, Mu Qianshan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I understand. The captain actually gave the female insect a multiple-choice question. You can continue to escape, but as long as we keep track of your position, your escape will expose the passage that is the invasion point.
"
"On the contrary, if you don't want to expose the invasion point, you can only show up and continue fighting with us."
hiss...
So that’s it?
After hearing Mu Qianshan's words, Fu Wanting and Feng Di both reacted.
To put it simply, there are two results.
One is that the female insect ignores the exposed passage for invasion and continues to escape.
Then the Qingluan will get the coordinates of that passage, and when the main fleet arrives, just like in the previous battle, it will directly use a certain number of cold fusion passages to blow up that passage and that's it.
In this way, the safety of the Nebula Passage route is guaranteed again.
Another possibility is that the mother insect did not want to expose the location of the passage, so she gave up evacuation, and then either ignored the Qingluan's attack and continued to hide, or showed up to continue the fight.
Frankly speaking, Jiang Xingchen prefers the second option. After all, as long as one day is not figured out how to hide the insect mound, it will be one more day of danger for the resistance.
After all, no one wants to see hundreds of insect graves suddenly popping up in the orbit of Canglan Star, right?
Compared with someone being invisible directly at your doorstep, the vulnerability in the seventh node of the Nebula Channel is not a big problem. At most, you can just send a fleet to garrison it and then find it slowly.
"Captain, the insect mound has stopped moving. It has been attacking for three consecutive rounds without changing its position!"
"It seems that it does not intend to expose the location of the passage used for intrusion..."
