"Five thousand kilometers!" the combat staff's roar resounded through the bridge and echoed in everyone's ears.
Gao Kai, who had closed his eyes to rest, immediately opened his eyes and commanded calmly: "Speed up, order all ships to concentrate their fire and shoot!"
"Attention all units, follow our ship's instructions to focus fire, follow our instructions to focus fire -"
Before he finished speaking, the Nanzhou's fire control system had locked onto an enemy ship and fired a low-power laser at the enemy ship to point out targets for all friendly warships.
The confirmation signals of each ship flashed rapidly on the virtual screen in front of Gao Kai. In just half a second, all twenty human warships under the Nanzhou were aiming at the same target.
Gao Kai was neither hoarse nor full of passion, he just lightly pointed on the virtual screen. The moment his fingertips touched the virtual screen, all the laser cannons on the twenty warships fired at the same time.
Technology not only changes life, it also changes war. In the past, fleets must issue orders for concentrated fire salvos, and then each ship would fire on its own. However, today's warships have become highly informatized, and all warships are under the same digital command network.
Every warship is a node on this network. The commander can control the entire fleet to coordinate at the tactical level by just moving his mouth and hands, which is easier than playing games.
Volley? It's just trivial.
Almost at the moment when Gao Kai's fingertips touched the virtual screen, all the lasers hit the target at the same time. The enemy ships shrouded in lasers melted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just over a second, under the irradiation of layers of lasers
Completely disappear.
The twenty warships commanded by Nanzhou have a total of 108 quadruple turrets, 99 triple turrets, and a total of 729 laser cannons!
The actual distance between the two sides is still less than 5,000 kilometers. Although it is far beyond the effective range of the laser cannon, the concentrated fire of more than 700 laser cannons is no joke. There is no pressure to kill the enemy ship at this distance.
After destroying the enemy ship, the Nanzhou immediately locked onto the next target. Gao Kai's fingers were hovering on the virtual screen, frowning as he stared at the charging progress bar of the laser cannon.
Every human warship is powered by dual reactors, and the power they provide is enough for the warship to consume.
However, laser cannons are electric tigers that consume an astonishing amount of power. If it is not a big problem to shoot in turns, if all the naval guns fire at the same time or at full power, the demand for electricity will be too great. Even if the reactor is transported at full power, it will take some time.
.
In order to complete charging as quickly as possible, some more extreme captains even ordered to turn off unimportant equipment, such as turning off the entire ship's lighting.
In fact, each ship does not lack electricity, but it takes some time to generate electricity.
In addition to the generators connected to the reactor, each ship also has emergency reserve power, but as you can see from the name, this part of the power is for emergency use and must not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.
Gao Kai had an idea in his mind and decisively issued a new order: "Notify all ships to first draw power from the electromagnetic cannon and recharge the laser cannon as soon as possible!"
Electromagnetic guns are also a major power consumer on battleships. According to fleet regulations, when battleships are about to engage an enemy, they must fill up the supercapacitors of laser cannons and electromagnetic guns in advance.
This is why the first shot came so quickly, but the second shot had to wait for a while... No one dared to divert the electric energy of the electromagnetic gun without authorization from the flagship.
After receiving Gao Kai's order, all warships immediately obeyed, and finally charged up seven seconds later, and the confirmation signal flashed again.
At this time, the alien fleet was no longer as calm as before. One battleship was lost with only 5,000 kilometers to go. This result was really beyond the aliens' expectations.
Even though it only lasted for seven seconds, the alien battleship, which had been almost motionless except for moving forward, was now performing various maneuvers and evasions, and was performing a series of unconstrained flying movements.
A smile appeared on Gao Kai's face after witnessing this scene. He clicked his fingertips decisively, and more than 700 laser cannons fired again, killing the target again.
The acceleration and deceleration of warships is not as fast as that of fighter planes. Although the enemy ships began to evade, their speed was too slow and it was impossible to avoid the laser beam that was coming instantly.
After killing two enemy ships in succession, the morale of the human side was greatly boosted, and they immediately started preparations for the next round of concentrated fire.
The electromagnetic gun's reserves have been used up. This time, the power ship must slowly provide power. The charging process is extremely slow... In fact, the charging speed is no different from usual. It's just that everyone is anxious, which creates the illusion that time is too slow.
After losing two battleships in a row, but not even touching the human side, the aliens became anxious. All the battleships accelerated their charge at the same time, and the charging enemy ships also spewed out thick smoke.
No one knows what that thing is, but it looks like a thick cloud of smoke. The smoke-like objects quickly swamp the alien warships and hide all the enemy ships.
Gao Kai raised his eyebrows, thinking that the aliens really wanted to carry out the copycat to the end, and actually learned all the smoke screen tactics.
However, aliens must not know that humans have a device called radar. The radar waves that penetrated the smoke screen brought back the location of the enemy ship, and the Nanzhou immediately locked onto the third target.
Twelve seconds later, the laser cannon was fully charged, and with the third click of Gao Kai's finger, another enemy ship was destroyed.
At this time, the alien fleet was in complete chaos. They no longer evaded, but rushed towards the human fleet at the highest speed. At the same time, the surface of the alien fleet was peeled off one after another, and the stripped shells soon turned into a swarm of insect machines, and some of the enemy
The ship is even purely composed of insects and machines. The insects and machines are peeled off layer by layer until the battleship is completely decomposed.
The insect drones quickly dispersed after leaving the ship. Due to the large number of insect drones, the image ahead seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke and dust.
Gao Kai suddenly had a sudden heart attack, but he calmly controlled the fire control system to lock on the fourth enemy ship and did not express any opinions on the enemy's changes.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that there is no need to mess up.
The straight-line distance between the two sides is still more than 4,000 kilometers. At this time, shooting the insect planes is like using cannons to hit mosquitoes. It not only wastes firepower but also has little hit rate. It is better to attack the enemy ships first, and wait for the insect planes to fly closer. There are many ways to deal with them.
The captains were all experienced. They were a little panicked when they first discovered the enemy was abnormal, but they were quickly infected by Gao Kai's calmness and calmed down again.
Another twelve seconds passed, and the Nanzhou fleet concentrated fire for the fourth time and successfully captured the fourth enemy ship.
Just when the Nanzhou locked the fifth enemy ship, all the enemy ships suddenly opened fire on the Yuzhou.
Gao Kai was startled. He had never seen so many tiny lights firing at the same time. He never expected that the aliens would actually learn how to use focused fire.
