Chapter 98 Don't know each other without fighting?
Time passed quietly. In the past thirty or so hours, neither side launched an attack. They just walked quietly.
However, the more this happens, the more invisible pressure the commanders of both sides can feel. The contest has already begun in the distance, and this contest of wisdom is probably faster than the speed of light.
Until... Feng Songjie commanded the spacecraft to change direction and pursue the second group of spaceships of the Red River Civilization. They were the three most intact ones and were ready to enter hyperspace navigation at any time to investigate.
But Feng Songjie’s original plan was to face the enemy head-on, and planned to pass by at a distance of about 3 million kilometers. In this way, even if the opponent had any weird attacks, the power should be reduced. And his own long-range attack methods
, there is only one rail gun for the time being.
The disadvantages of the rail gun are its slow speed and large recoil. It has good retention after being launched and will not dissipate on its own except for the gravitational interference of the starry sky.
In fact, in theory, lasers will not attenuate in the space environment. However, due to the unevenness of time and space, weapons such as lasers and particle beams will attenuate to varying degrees in long-distance attacks, and may even deviate from the planned attack.
route.
So Feng Songjie set a distance of 3 million kilometers.
But the plan was not as fast as the change. After advancing for 3 hours, Feng Songjie discovered that the opponent had divided his forces! But it was not until 30 hours later that Captain Feng responded.
At this time, the enemy has not only divided its forces into three directions, but the three parties are also moving away from each other and in different directions.
Regarding military matters, Feng Songjie asked the military adviser around him. The military adviser said: I am afraid that the other side will look down on us. The troops are divided into three groups to prevent us from running away and preparing to close the door and beat the dog!
Captain Feng said: We are not going to run. I was planning to take advantage of our speed and have fun with them. Now that they have divided their forces, it will be better. This initiative gives us a chance to defeat each other!
After comprehensive consideration of the military, especially the space environment and spacecraft performance, Captain Feng made a prompt decision - to pursue the second group of spacecraft from behind. Of course, Feng Songjie did not know that this was the second group, but this group of spacecraft was the easiest to pursue.
.
Through observation, coupled with previous battles with Tuoba Xingye, and interrogations, it is known that the Red River Civilization's best spacecraft has unsatisfactory acceleration performance. The main problem is the engine technical route.
In fact, all engines are plasma engines.
However, the core technology of Dayang Group is the newly researched electromagnetic slingshot technology.
But for practicing civilizations like the Red River Civilization, although they also study science and technology, they are not in-depth enough. Therefore, the plasma engine of the Red River Civilization completely simulates the state of a star - adding nuclear reactors, increasing temperature, and increasing plasma speed.
To put it simply, the plasma engine of the Red River Civilization is a typical idea of using great force to produce miracles. However, this method of accumulating energy will inevitably lead to serious heating, which requires cooling. When the cooling ability and energy accumulation reach the balance limit,
This technical route has basically come to an end.
In fact, according to the interrogation, many technological developments of the Red River Civilization have stagnated in the past tens of thousands of years - without a solid foundation, it will be difficult to build towering buildings in the rear.
In order to increase the engine power, they used formations, spiritual energy, weapon refining and other methods, and even performed sacrifices and consecrations that Feng Songjie heard was incredible, but the results were still not ideal.
However, in an emergency, their spacecraft may also have chemical energy thrusters (which can be regarded as rocket engines) and plasma engines (Hall engines) - which can be regarded as modified particle cannons, but are used to accelerate the spacecraft.
.
The efficiency of plasma engines is very low. Compared with plasma engines that can produce tens or hundreds of tons of thrust, the thrust of plasma engines is calculated in grams.
But compared with plasma engines, plasma engines are theoretically "higher" - in principle, after sufficient field time acceleration, they can be infinitely close to the speed of light. Unlike the current plasma engine of Ocean Group, the theoretical limit speed is 0.1 times the speed of light.
However, in the battlefield environment, the effect of the plasma engine is almost negligible - not as strong as the gravity of the star.
In short, although the Red River Civilization was an advanced civilization, it was surpassed by the rising star Dayang Group in some aspects because of fundamental problems with its technical route.
When he saw the Voyager chasing the second group of spaceships from behind, the captain on the Third Prince's side slapped his forehead in annoyance: I guessed wrong, the other party's boldness was really beyond imagination.
But the captain didn't know that it was their strength that forced Feng Songjie to take risks. If he didn't kill the enemy, he wouldn't dare to go home! What's the point of going home with a tail. In order to go home, he must kill the enemy!
Not to mention, the previous battle was very effective. Twelve of Tuoba Xingye's spaceships were killed, and seven more of the new fleet were under repair.
Ordinarily, we should attack the enemy's rear first and kill the ones that are undergoing repairs. However, Feng Songjie and most of the people on the Voyager spacecraft agreed to kill the healthy spacecraft first so that they would not be able to escape. The remaining injured
When you suffer from a spaceship, time is slowly passing away.
Many people on the Third Prince's side also thought about this situation. For a moment, they were angry at the crazy, arrogant, domineering, and even contemptuous behavior of the native in front of him.
But the captain had to frown - he had underestimated this native before, but now he was in trouble.
The distance between the three groups of spaceships is already quite far. The aboriginal spacecraft has a very strong acceleration ability and will be the first to complete the killing blow. Everyone had seen the aboriginal spaceship hunt the Tuoba Xingye fleet before.
"Remote function! Use super beam (laser)! Notify the second group of spacecraft to cooperate in the attack."
How do the two groups of spaceships cooperate in the attack? It is nothing more than reporting the direction at any time and reporting the "indigenous spaceships" pursuing behind them.
Of course, the second group of spaceships were no pushovers, and they also turned around and started attacking. Even if they could not kill the opponent immediately, they should at least make the opponent have some scruples.
However, in the space environment, it is extremely difficult to target violently moving objects at long distances.
The distance between the two sides is now more than 50 million kilometers. Even with the detection technology of the Red River Civilization, the Voyager spacecraft seen is nothing more than a pinhead-sized dot; once it is close to the sun, it appears gray-white, and a small new device may be used as a detector.
noise on.
In contrast, Dayang Group has unique advantages because it uses synthesis technology, optical, infrared, ray, radio and other observation synthesis technologies, coupled with unique computer processing programs.
Dayang Group has adhered to the material science route from the beginning, and has been down-to-earth, step by step. Later, it invented a giant telescope to observe space and search for black holes, neutron stars, other stars or traces of civilization, making it unique in investigation technology.
But at this moment, the people of Dayang Group have not yet realized their advantages in detection and locking technology. Everyone is still cautious, and they have an indescribable awe and even a humble attitude towards the vast space and those advanced civilizations.
.
The Voyager spacecraft adopts a randomly swinging pursuit posture in space. It is like a hunting wolf. Its running route swings left and right and ups and downs, making it elusive for the enemy.
Of course, the oscillations and ups and downs in space will not be as violent as those on the ground, but the amplitude is absolutely exaggerated. Perhaps an arc is tens of thousands of kilometers, and a lateral movement is thousands of kilometers.
This way of advancing will affect the speed to some extent, but it will make it difficult for the enemy to lock on.
However, although the Voyager spacecraft was pursuing, it still did not launch an attack. At this time, it was pursuit, and pursuit again. It put pressure on the opponent psychologically and posture-wise.
In the empty space, crisscrossing lines of light that are invisible to the naked eye began to appear - that was the attack of the Red River Civilization. Because there is no air scattering in space, the light cannot be seen by the naked eye unless it is facing the light. Therefore,
Even if the sun is the biggest in space, the starry sky is still black.
But the detection equipment can see it. The infrared detector can clearly see the crisscrossing lines of light.
"The enemy has launched an attack!" A smile appeared on Feng Songjie's lips, "I couldn't hold back my anger. Moreover, their attack also exposed their lack of means. I thought they had some means. It turned out to be lasers and particle beams.
Technical personnel immediately determine the status of the opponent's spacecraft based on the attack situation and deduce its maneuverability. Staff members analyze the opponent's mentality, describe it psychologically, and try to formulate detailed tactics.
Gunner prepares.
Dynamics team, damage control, get ready.
Damn, I didn’t expect this trip to be so exciting. Kill them, and we’ll return with prisoners, technology, equipment and glory!
Three minutes later, the Voyager launched an attack. The first wave of attacks was a frantic salvo of 10 times in just three minutes, with a total of 120 rail gun shells fired. All of them were aimed at the three spacecraft of the enemy's second group.
But among these 120 shells, the last 12 are not purely solid shells, but... electromagnetic pulse bombs!
The 108 shells in the front will be responsible for breaking open the opponent's shell, and the electromagnetic pulse bombs in the back will destroy its internal facilities.
Although they are cultivators' spaceships, since they use plasma technology and particle beam technology, they must use electrical energy, or electromagnetic fields, etc.
Dayang Group has previously analyzed the technology of Xuanhuang Civilization. In its spaceship technology, electric energy dominates.
After 120 shells were fired, their powerful recoil actually reduced the Voyager's flight speed by three percent. Such an obvious change would inevitably attract the enemy's attention.
However, I can no longer care about these at this time, and the problems involved have been calculated.
None of the 120 cannonballs rushed directly towards the current direction of the opponent's spacecraft. Instead, they all missed. They were divided into three directions: above the current position of the opponent's spacecraft (relative to the top of the Voyager), below, and close to the current position of the opponent's spacecraft.
Sun side.
According to the mental descriptions of Dayang Group's military staff, the other side is most likely to choose these three directions for a breakthrough.
After completing this attack, the Voyager, which had slowed down sharply, dodged the laser and particle cannon that passed in front of it, turned a corner, and accelerated again to pursue the second group of spacecraft.
It would be better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them. Since you want to attack this group of spaceships, then hit them hard. If you catch one, don't let go.
But even if the Voyager's speed dropped by 3%, the distance between the two sides was still gradually getting closer. With the powerful acceleration, the Voyager was changing from jerky to mature and then ferocious. This experimental spacecraft was heading towards the battleship.
evolution.
To be more precise, the crew members of the Ocean Group are undergoing rapid transformation and are beginning to bring out the performance of the spacecraft. Changes are coming as soon as they are announced!
Twenty minutes later, another attack was launched, but this time the attack changed its thinking - the rail gun attacked forward and backward at the same time. After precise calculation, the forward and backward firing forces were the same and canceled each other out. Therefore, the flight attitude of the spacecraft did not change at all!
The enemy can no longer understand the attack situation by observing the status of the spacecraft.
The battle between the two sides began to become fierce, but the Voyager flexibly shuttled through the starry sky composed of lasers.
Seven hours later, the second group of spaceships flying in front were fine. Because they decisively maneuvered at a large angle, all attacks were avoided. However, the three groups of spaceships chasing after them were brutally slaughtered - they did not see the indigenous spacecraft at all.
You opened fire on yourself, why did you get shot?
Because the three groups of spaceships were chasing each other, and the speed of the rail gun shells, the centermost ship of the three groups of spaceships was directly penetrated. Even important locations such as the nuclear island were penetrated, and the spacecraft exploded instantly.
.
The other two spacecraft were also affected, with their defense layers damaged and alarms blaring randomly. But after a moment of sounding, all the alarms stopped instantly, and a large number of lights and equipment powered by electrical energy went out.
Electromagnetic pulse bomb!
The equipment is stagnant, a large amount of electricity cannot be transported, energy cannot be transmitted, heat cannot be dissipated, and the nuclear fusion reactor core rapidly overheats.
Before the technicians on board the two spacecrafts could respond, more than thirty seconds later, the nuclear fusion core leaked and the spacecraft's power system was completely damaged.
Because the technology passed the test, there was no explosion. However, the core was lost and the spacecraft also lost power. It became a coffin floating in the sky.
However, what is even more dangerous is that in the binary star system at this time, one star happens to turn around and is right in the direction of the two spacecraft!
"Jump off the ship!" the captains of the two spaceships roared, and everyone rushed into space.
However, after jumping off the ship, it was discovered that the speed of the spacecraft was too fast, almost reaching a speed of 8,000 kilometers per second. At this speed, only those with Guizhen cultivation level and above can struggle to recover from their own state. Those below Guizhen cultivation level can only struggle in vain.
.
The spacecraft lost all power, various control systems were destroyed, and the escape spacecraft was locked and unable to be opened.
But at this time, some people were smart. They took a lot of debris from the spacecraft and threw it outwards with force, thereby gaining reverse acceleration. But in the face of death, some people even directly grabbed the people around them and flew up... Let's go!
Behind him, the third prince's face was as gloomy as frost on a winter night!
