Duan Zhiyang's move may seem novel, but it is actually not a new tactic.
Anyone familiar with the super cannon knows that this thing is not a cannon at all, but an array of light cannons composed of many lasers. As long as the control equipment allows, each laser can shoot a target independently.
To put it more bluntly, the super cannon can truly be far or near, dispersed or gathered. The cannon can be fired wherever the enemy comes.
When they are gathered together, they fight enemy ships, and when they disperse, they fight insect drones. Ye Han simply can't think of a more useful weapon than it.
The military has also thought about putting super cannons on battleships, but super cannons are not without their shortcomings. First, they consume too much energy, and second, they occupy too much area.
The energy consumption problem can be solved by adding more reactors, but the area problem is troublesome. The cross-sectional area of a battleship is only a little larger. Even if it is full of lasers, only 1,800 can survive. With such a small number, the power and range are far behind.
, it will not go as far as the current laser main cannon shells, but will affect the overall layout of the battleship, and the final result will be that the gain outweighs the loss.
Mounting it on the relatively large spine or belly of the ship is a solution, but after detailed demonstration, the result is still more harm than good.
Due to various reasons, the super cannon has never been installed on battleships, and many generals in the military have deeply regretted it.
Well, Ye Han is also one of them.
The battle is still going on, and the human side's firepower is indeed powerful. Every minute and every second, insect drones are killed in the gunfire.
But there are too many insect drones. More than 60 of the more than 70 alien warships are insect drones. Nearly 20,000 insect drones are flying all over the sky. No matter how dense the human firepower is, it is impossible to block all the insect drones.
.
"A thousand kilometers -" He Lu's voice sounded again. Ye Han's eyebrows twisted tightly when he heard the words.
No matter how fierce the previous confrontation was, it was just an appetizer before the main meal. The real battle would begin when Base Three entered the fine light range.
As the distance decreases, the density of insect drones becomes higher and higher. Each laser sweep can kill dozens or even hundreds of insect drones.
The confrontation between the two sides is becoming more and more intense, and is gradually becoming more intense.
At this critical moment, the super cannon suddenly stopped firing. When Ye Han turned his eyes, he discovered that a group of missiles were flying in front of the No. 3 base, and exploded into a black smoke screen.
At this time, the swarm of insect aircraft finally brought Base 3 into the farthest range. The charging swarm of insect aircraft suddenly opened fire. For a moment, an unknown number of thin lights rushed towards Base 3 at the same time. The number of thin lights falling on the super cannon alone was no less than thousands.
.
But the smoke screen has already taken shape, and all the fine lights have penetrated the smoke screen. There is no ripple in the smoke screen, and the specific situation of the super cannon cannot be seen.
However, the insect machine had no intention of giving up at all, and continued to fire at base three.
The location with the densest concentration of fine lights is the location of the super cannon!
Ye Han couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Base No. 3.
Although the smoke screen blocks the line of sight, the smoke screen only serves to confuse the line of sight and cannot block the thin light at all.
When a battleship uses a smoke screen, it always hides in a corner of the smoke screen and leaves the center open, allowing the aliens to attack as they please.
But among the four major bases, only Base No. 1 is designed with thrusters. Base No. 3 cannot move at all. Can Base No. 3 withstand such dense light hitting it?
Ye Han didn't know it yet, but his worries had already become a reality.
The reason why Duan Zhiyang fired the smoke screen in advance was to protect the super cannon. However, the aliens fired persistently into the smoke screen. Thousands of thin lights easily penetrated the smoke screen. The dense thin light swept through the laser array like a heavy rain. In the blink of an eye,
, a large number of lasers were damaged, and even the cables buried underground were cut off by the thin light.
Duan Zhiyang sighed helplessly and gave up the super cannon.
He didn't want the super cannon to be destroyed by the enemy's counterattack, but all the lasers were placed on the surface of the base, with nowhere to hide and nothing to hide. Being able to destroy so many enemy ships and aircraft before they were damaged was already the best result.
.
After losing the super cannon, base 3 was mostly disarmed, leaving only a few close-in defense guns and a batch of missiles. The next biggest role was to act as a shield for the fleet, and the firepower output must rely on the fleet.
At this point in the war, Base No. 3 has lost its original role and is the most conspicuous target of our own side... Duan Zhiyang struggled fiercely in his heart and suddenly ordered Base No. 3 to be abandoned and all personnel to evacuate immediately.
Everyone was stunned by Duan Zhiyang's decision, but an order was an order, and now was the fiercest time of the battle. No one dared to question Duan Zhiyang's order, and everyone left the No. 3 base as quickly as possible.
Outside the base, the eight human warships kept firing with all their strength, and the missiles had already been fired. After the worm swarm entered a thousand kilometers, all the warships fired the last batch of missiles in unison.
Next comes naval gun time, with artillery of various calibers firing at full speed.
All human warships are equipped with laser cannons. The problem fleet is hidden deep in the smoke screen. The laser cannons are too affected. If they leave the smoke screen, they will be attacked by the enemy. No warship can withstand it.
The non-stop blows of thousands of tiny rays of light.
At this moment, the human side is at an absolute disadvantage. If it continues to develop, defeat will only be a matter of time.
But not a single human warship retreats, because the weapon that determines victory or defeat is already flying towards the enemy. Victory or defeat, life or death all depends on this tremor.
In order to cover this batch of missiles, all human warships used all their strength, every cannon fired at the highest speed, and all kinds of nuclear shells were thrown out as if they were free.
Countless artillery shells formed an unusually dense fire net in front of Base No. 3. At a glance, there were dots of artillery shells everywhere.
The visual effect of the cannonball is far inferior to that of the super cannon, and the speed of the cannonball is too slow. The insect machine can even dodge asteroid fragments with a relative speed of thirty or forty kilometers, so what does it mean to avoid the cannonball?
Shortly after the barrage broke through the smoke screen, the last wave of missiles finally flew in front of the insect swarm. The insect swarm wanted to intercept these missiles, but they didn't expect the missiles to explode automatically while they were still in the middle. Half of them stayed behind, and the other half flew at extremely high speed.
Rushing straight towards the insect swarm at a high speed.
Although the insect swarm tried their best to intercept it, many warheads still managed to rush in front of the insect swarm.
The insect machine facing the warhead immediately dodged, but this time their flexibility did not work. The warhead automatically activated before it flew into the insect swarm, and instantly turned into a dazzling bright light.
In just a short moment, a series of bright lights exploded in the insect swarm... The insect drones were so dense that each nuclear bomb destroyed more than three digits of insect drones. When this round of nuclear explosions ended, they would die from the nuclear explosion.
There are no less than three thousand insect machines.
