Ye Han's jaw almost dropped. He never expected that aliens could come up with this kind of interception method. It was like making alien plants look like flowers!
But the aliens still despised humans after all. It may be that the aliens knew that humans were difficult to deal with, but could not think of other ways, so they had to use plants hidden in the halo to intercept them.
Groups of cannonballs arrived at the halo, but passed through the holes in the halo one after another, without any one exploding in the halo.
Ye Han was so angry that he kept gritting his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
Not long after, the flying missile crashed into the open silk umbrella. Countless filaments immediately wrapped around the missile. The high-rising vines stretched straight, but were driven by the momentum of the missile and sank heavily into the halo.
If the alien flora in the halo hadn't grabbed hold of the raised vines and offset the momentum of the missile, just catching the missile would have pushed the vines out of the halo!
The branches can only entangle, but cannot destroy the missile. The engine in the tail of the missile is still working hard, driving the branches to swing around. Many branches are entangled together and can no longer be separated.
Ye Han sighed softly: "Detonate it!" These missiles will definitely not be able to hit the target, but the branches protruding from the halo are not very long, so it is the right time to detonate them.
The detonation command was issued, and the missile tightly tied by the vines suddenly exploded, and the invisible neutron flow instantly flew in all directions... There is no air obstruction in space, and the neutron flow can expand outward without attenuation, and the yield can also be increased.
It's very big, so neutron bombs have long been standard equipment for space fleets.
The pervasive neutron flow penetrated into the halo and shattered the microstructure of the alien plants.
From the perspective of the Lone Wolf, the scene ahead seemed to have pressed the slow-down button, and the alien plants near the explosion point became extremely slow.
It's just that the dark spots are too big. The Lone Wolf's first bombardment only eliminated a small part of the alien plants, and there are still large areas of dark spots waiting for the Lone Wolf to solve.
Ye Han in the bridge was chewing his teeth. If it were on earth, a fire would burn all the alien plants, but there are no conditions for setting fire in space. It is really painful.
Although the first round of missiles failed to achieve the expected results, it was a good result to severely damage the alien plants. Ye Han immediately ordered to continue firing at the dark spots.
He was a little hesitant whether to use a super nuclear bomb to hit the dark spot hard. However, the thickest part of the halo was only thirty meters. It would be too wasteful to use a super nuclear bomb.
But the range of power of ordinary nuclear bombs in space is too small. How many nuclear bombs are needed to completely solve an area as large as a dark spot?
Although there are many nuclear bombs brought by the Lone Wolf, they cannot withstand such a disaster... Thinking of this, Ye Han suddenly had a very ridiculous idea: Could the aliens want to use this to create a dark spot in the halo?
The thing consumes the Lone Wolf's nuclear bombs?
But he immediately threw this idea out of his mind and asked: "How is the cannon flap?"
"Still undergoing repairs!" He Lu said.
"Stop emergency repairs and prepare to fire!"
"Ah?" He Lu was surprised, but immediately replied: "Yes!"
The cannon flap slowly opened, aiming at the dark spot in the distance. The charging progress bar on the fire control interface rose straight up. The partially damaged laser circuit was short-circuited, and bright sparks burst out the moment the circuit was connected.
However, more lasers were aimed at the dark spots under the control of the bridge. In just a few seconds, a thick beam of light crossed the void and accurately hit the dark spots in the halo.
The dark spot, which was only 30 meters thick, lasted only 0.2 seconds before being penetrated by the laser, leaving a hole with a diameter of more than ten kilometers in the ring.
Ye Han immediately realized that the full power emission was a bit too high. He immediately ordered to reduce the power, but increase the duration of the light beam and expand the irradiation range.
The Lone Wolf fired again, and the beam of light penetrated the halo again.
Ye Han continued to adjust the power and irradiation range. After several experiments and the optimization of the fire control computer, he finally found the best combination of power and irradiation range.
During this period, Ye Han did not forget to continue firing neutron bombs at the dark spots, constantly slowing down the activity of the alien plants... He did not know what the use of the branches protruding from the halo was, but he instinctively felt that keeping them was not
A good thing, so it is better to waste a batch of nuclear bombs than to nip the potential danger in the bud.
Ye Han's approach did achieve a certain effect. A large number of branches that were still differentiating were penetrated by high-speed neutron flow, and the cells making up the branches lost their activity and could not continue to differentiate.
After discovering this, the aliens changed their approach. They simply ignored the branches that had been released and let them act as abandoned children to attract the attention of the Lone Wolf. They also arranged for a batch of branches to start dividing from scratch, but this batch of branches no longer revealed the halo.
Instead, it is hidden in the halo, intending to wait until the differentiation is completed before releasing it.
As for the Dark Spot that has been damaged by the Lone Wolf, let it be. If you can destroy a super battleship, you won't hesitate to lose the entire Dark Spot.
Ye Han didn't know the alien's plan, but he knew that the enemy would definitely not sit still and wait for death, so he would rather slow down the speed of destroying the dark spot than close the distance, and always keep the battleship and the halo at a safe distance.
While the Lone Wolf was nibbling away at the dark spots, the reconnaissance missile was still in flight, constantly reporting the situation of the halo back to the battleship. It was found that there were more than a dozen dark spots in the halo, and the largest area was smaller than the No. 1 dark spot.
It is one-half larger, and its smallest diameter is more than 1,400 kilometers.
The edges of all dark spots are very irregular, and the specific area is difficult to calculate. However, a rough calculation shows that the smallest dark spot has an area of more than 1.5 million square kilometers, and the area of Dark Spot No. 1 exceeds 40 million square kilometers.
Nearly the entire land area of Asia!
After getting this result and doing some simple math, Ye Han felt completely bad.
No matter how strong the Lone Wolf's combat effectiveness is, there is a limit. The area covered by a single shot of the super cannon is only more than 30 square kilometers. Just the No. 1 dark spot requires more than 1.3 million shots.
Calculating one launch every ten seconds, it would take 220,000 minutes, more than 3,700 hours, and a full 154 days to fire continuously 24 hours a day!
This is only Dark Spot No. 1. If the rest are included, the Lone Wolf will not be able to do anything else for three to five years. Even if it pulls the entire fleet over, it will not be able to solve the problem for more than a year and a half.
Ye Han suddenly felt that his previous guess might not be groundless. The dark spots were deliberately placed here by aliens to delay time!
Thinking of this, Ye Han suddenly had a headache. He ignored the dark spots and couldn't control them, so he could only continue to eat away at the dark spots while reporting what happened here to Beiyuezhou.
