In fact, when it comes to the Empire's special heavy battleships, their firepower is not even as good as the ordinary Empire's main battleships.
However, it also has abilities that main battleships cannot match, and it is precisely because of this ability that the special heavy battleship is called a ship dedicated to high-level king insects.
That was the last project that Wei worked on a few years ago before he devoted all his efforts to develop space migration technology, called...
Multiple space shield technology.
This is a concept that Wei came up with after studying the captured third-order king insect and several of his guard insects.
Although the third-level guard bugs have rudimentary space attacks and can cause fatal damage to air shields, their attacks are neither penetrating nor range-based.
In short, this attack can only destroy the space shield. If you want to destroy the battleship, you must conduct a second attack.
That being the case, why not put multiple layers of shields on battleships for recycling?
This was Wei's original idea, and it was precisely because of this idea that a few years later, the multiple space shield technology was born.
The reason why the special heavy battleship has very weak firepower is that most of its space is used to install multiple space shield devices and multiple sets of core energy systems.
After all, the Three-Eyed Empire does not have a foul energy source like zero point energy. It can only rely on more energy cores to support the huge energy consumption of the entire battleship. The weapon system can only make corresponding compromises and reduce installation.
quantity.
Just when the first wave of attacks against the specially-equipped heavy fleet ended, in a battle star behind the defense zone, Mu was nervously looking at the various feedback data.
In the final analysis, no one can say for sure how effective the specially equipped heavy fleet can be against the third-order king insect without actual confrontation.
But after seeing the specially equipped heavy fleet that survived a wave of attacks unscathed, Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, it can’t be said that it was completely unscathed. There are five layers of multiple shields on the special heavy battleships, and there is still some damage to these five layers of shields. Most of the battleships have lost 1-2 layers, and there are also some unlucky battleships.
3-4 layers were lost, but in any case, the battleship itself can be said to be unscathed.
Moreover, don’t think that the multi-space shield is just a five-layer shield. If this is the case, it cannot be called a special ship for high-level king insects.
The really great thing about the system designed by Wei is that the shield can be recycled.
To put it simply, if 2 shields are broken in one wave of attacks, then there will still be 3 shields available for use in the next wave of attacks, and the previous 2 shields will also be recharged after being recharged.
recover.
In the end, the five space shields are used cyclically. Unless it is attacked continuously by the third-order guard bugs, it will be difficult to kill it with ordinary waves of large-scale coverage.
Of course, this technology is not without its shortcomings. Its main shortcomings lie in two aspects.
On the one hand, the energy required is huge. As far as space shields are concerned, they are already large energy consumers, not to mention the five-layer space shield. In order to meet this huge energy demand, many battleships have to be installed.
An independent energy core that supplies energy separately can barely meet the needs.
On the other hand, due to the installation of multiple space shield systems and multiple sets of independent core energy sources, even if the battleship is built into the size of a heavy battleship, space is still very tight, which also leads to constant compromises in the weapon system.
In the end, the firepower was almost half that of an ordinary main battleship.
"Very good, let the conventional fleet on the defense line cooperate with the specially equipped heavy fleet to press forward and kill those two third-order king insects!"
"Yes, handsome!"
Seeing the amazing defensive power of the specially equipped heavy fleet, Mu no longer hesitated and decided to seize the fighter plane and try to kill the third-order king insect directly.
When the order was issued, all the defenders in the 38th defense zone took action. They were originally just passive defense, but suddenly they started to counterattack.
The sudden change without warning made the king insect that controlled the insect swarm unable to react for a while and was caught off guard.
The powerful gravity cannon continued to roar among the insects, and groups of insects instantly fell into the space tearing effect caused by irregular gravity, and were shattered into pieces.
In the two most critical places on the battlefield, that is, in the area facing the two third-order king insects, four specially equipped heavy fleets are resisting the constant attacks of the guard bugs while heading towards the location of the two third-order king insects.
Lean over.
Of course, although the multiple space shield system is indeed very strong, it is not invincible. It suffers too many attacks in a short period of time, resulting in the five shields having no time to cycle, and there is also the possibility of being destroyed.
"Commander, the specially equipped heavy fleet is still 20 million kilometers away from the King Insect, and more than 3,700 ships have been lost so far."
"Well, this loss is within the tolerable range. Once they enter the 15 million-kilometer range, they can directly capture the third-order king insect for me without waiting for orders!"
"Yes, handsome!"
Staring at the huge tactical image in front of him, Mu clenched his hands into fists. Success or failure depended on this!
However, this special heavy battleship was indeed perfectly aimed at the attack of the third-order guard bug and defeated it to death. However, Mu seemed to have forgotten that the one who was in a state of war with it was not the third-order king bug. It could even be
In other words, the third-level king insect is just a minor player.
As for the changes in the battle situation on the front line, Heineye, who was in charge of the overall situation from the rear, naturally saw all the changes.
Although I was a little surprised by the specially equipped heavy fleet deployed by the Three-Eyed Empire, I did not have any panic. After all, this kind of multiple space shields is, to put it bluntly, specifically aimed at the third-order guard bugs. It cannot be used against all
High-level king insect.
The most important thing is that Heineye, who had communicated with Alba before, has also sent his second-order guard bugs to the front line together with the two third-order king bugs.
As Alba said, after becoming a first-order king insect, he will no longer value these second-order guard insects, so he might as well send them all to the front line to make this war end faster!
No, here's the opportunity!
With a sudden thought, the order was conveyed to the front line through the Zerg's spiritual network.
"Commander, the two third-order king insects have retreated..."
"Damn it, let's calculate it immediately. If we continue to pursue, how much will it cost to kill by force?"
"Yes...According to calculations, if the specially equipped heavy fleet is pursued at maximum speed, it will take at least five minutes to catch up and bring it within range. However, because it is too deep into the insect swarm, even if it is successfully killed,
If two third-level king insects are lost, the specially equipped heavy fleet will also lose at least half of its battleships!"
After the adjutant conducted the simulation through the mastermind, he reported to Mu Hui.
