In the middle of the fleets of both sides, tens of thousands of fighter jets were entangled like locusts, and dense laser beams and missiles flashed all the time. It almost looked like fireworks were being set off in space!
The air battle lasted less than 20 minutes, and more than 800 fighter jets had been shot down by Japan and Japan! More than 500 fighter jets returned due to damage, but were told that they could not land on the battleship and could only stand by.
Many of those fighter jets with injured pilots, leaks in their cockpits, or even leaks in their energy tanks could only desperately wait for death next to the nearby battleships.
However, Admiral Tarkin's cold instructions still had an effect. From the take-off and landing platforms vacated by the Jaeger-class cruisers, more than 2,000 fighter jets took off again to join the battle group. Although the battle situation was still not optimistic, at least
It also stabilized the situation until reinforcements arrived!
The dazzling light generated by the fluctuations in hyperspace kept flashing, and a large number of Jaeger-class cruisers emerged from hyperspace and appeared on the battlefield! Together with the 50 Jaeger-class cruisers that had entered the battlefield before, there were a total of 100 ships in total!
!
However, unlike the previous wave-like attack that gradually increased the number, 50 more warships were added at once. The result is that the width and height of the entire formation have stretched for more than 200 kilometers. This width of the formation is not suitable for concentrating firepower to break through the defense of the Confederate fleet.
.
But it has already formed a numerical suppression, which is enough. The numerical ratio of 5 to 1, coupled with the existing performance advantage, can directly crush the Confederate fleet!
The increase in warships has also increased the number of available take-off and landing platforms, and the take-off and landing of fighter planes has begun to normal. The warships newly added to the battlefield have begun to take off more fighter jets, and some warships that have been depleted of fighter jets have also begun to reaccommodate the damaged fighter jets.
.But even so, more than 500 pilots died during the nearly half-hour wait.
100 Jaeger-class cruisers and carrier-based aircraft have exceeded 40,000! At the same time, the take-off and landing platforms on these 100 battleships are enough to handle 8,000 fighter jets at the same time! The number of fighter jets on both sides was instantly equalized! And the Federation of Independent Systems'
The fleet, even with five Rookery Hook-class battleships with huge hangars, has only 24,000 carrier-based aircraft. The large number of fighter jets that Admiral Trench used to take off in a tricky way cannot cover up the difference in the total number of fighter jets between the two sides.
!
"Retreat." Admiral Trench shook the pointer in his hand and gave the order calmly.
"But, General, if we retreat now, the Republic fleet will destroy the cyberspace station on the planet Mulkana. Moreover, we also have a Rukrihuk-class battleship whose core spacecraft capsized and is unable to move!"
The staff officer said with great concern.
"According to the simulation of the battle situation, without reinforcements, our fleet will be broken through the formation within 60 minutes, and then completely destroyed within 10 minutes. There are only two options now. First, let General Emma's
The fleet is coming to support. Second, retreat." said the tactical robot who had been standing next to Trench.
"Retreat. Then hide in the outer orbit and wait for the Republic fleet to launch a landing operation. Let them not see each other from head to tail, and then we will have more opportunities, tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Admiral Trench still made a decision.
He was going to repeat the same trick, just like he did during the Battle of Christofsis. While preserving the strength of the fleet, he gave up the planet's orbit and allowed the opponent to land. In this way, the Republic's fleet had to take care of a wider area.
Large, because they have to conduct a global landing, they must also disperse their fleets around the world to prevent the Confederate fleet from concentrating its forces in local areas for raids. In this way, the Republic fleet, which is numerically superior but must divide its forces for defense, and the smaller but smaller Republic fleet
The Confederate fleet, which could concentrate its forces, narrowed the gap to some extent.
And the reason why this is done is to give full play to the true strength of the guardian planet, land warfare! It is a very simple principle. It takes about 5 years for a clone soldier to be created from an embryo and then mature. And Tang Yu's
It takes about 10 minutes to build a T-2 combat robot!
Okay, this is a bit bullying, so let’s calculate it according to the birth of a mechanical life. First, you need an artificial intelligence-level computer program. If you leave it to the computer to program, it will take about 5 minutes. Of course, this kind of computer program is
It can be copied and pasted directly, so there is almost no time cost. Then the storage device of this program needs to be placed in a special data storage, sealed, and placed in the Holy Mountain. Later, when Tang Yu is idle and bored, he will
Go to the core of the Holy Mountain, expand the mechanical field, and guide these programs that have not yet awakened. This process takes an uncertain time, but generally within three to five days at the latest, these programs will show signs of awakening.
The last step is to add these awakened artificial intelligence programs to the virtual world of the Holy Mountain, allowing them to further learn and evolve on their own. And because of the computing power of the artificial intelligence itself, it only takes a few minutes to read an entire library of books.
, so it takes about two or three months for these artificial intelligences to finally evolve into mechanical life forms. And the most important thing is, because of the existence of the Holy Mountain, these mechanical life forms will not really die when they go out to perform tasks, but will
Can be used repeatedly.
So to put it this way...it's still very bullying.
Therefore, the generals on the Guardian Planet, including Jane Connor, Peacock and others, have always been very willing to fight a land war with the Republic, because this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money. Just like Trench now
This is the general's plan.
The Confederate fleet began to retreat. The Rookery Hook-class battleship that was unable to move because the core spaceship capsized on the ground was abandoned. The crew evacuated on transport ships, leaving only the mechanical life crew still holding on to their posts. Not only that,
The seven cyberspace stations also started their engines and began to move to the other side of the planet Murkana. These space stations could no longer hold their ground, but they could delay it for a little longer.
As for the spaceport, after Admiral Trench gave the order to retreat, it also began to evacuate personnel, lowered the deflector shield, shut down the weapon system, and sent a surrender message to the Republic fleet.
The Republic fleet now has 94 Jaeger-class cruisers left. These cruisers immediately went to control the outer reaches of the planet Murkana, and spread out more than ten warships to destroy the seven cyberspace stations. Once these space stations are destroyed
, the network signals emitted from the planet Mulkana can no longer cover the entire galaxy, and there is no longer a threat.
Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin looked at the retreating Confederate fleet and the Rookery Hook-class battleship that was unable to move and was being besieged by more than 20 Jaeger-class cruisers with a smile on his face.
Satisfaction appeared on his face. Then he glanced at the space port and waved lightly...
Immediately afterwards, dozens of surrounding warships turned around at the same time, their main guns began to charge, and then... opened fire towards the space port that had completely given up resistance and issued a surrender notice!!!
