"Commander, we discovered that a large number of fleets are mobilizing behind the enemy's defense line. It is suspected that a second line of defense is being deployed!"
In the bridge of the Seran, the radar commander suddenly reported loudly.
Upon hearing this, Alfie immediately controlled the dynamic model of the battlefield in front of him and zoomed in on the area behind the coalition's defense line.
As the radar chief reported, trillions of warships are being mobilized rapidly, and judging from their action patterns, they are indeed deploying a second line of defense.
only...
Unlike the extremely loose first line of defense, the second line of defense is obviously deployed in a thick way.
Although the same number of warships is used, after using such a thick formation, it can only cover a small area.
However, since the federal fleet only made a small breakthrough on the first line of defense, Lavoisier did not need to deploy such a long line of defense. He only needed to gather the fleet where the first line of defense was torn apart.
Just behind that opening is fine.
"His goal is not defense, but because we chose to use a point-breaking surface to quickly attack, then use a new and thick defense line to completely block us, and cooperate with the original defense line to form a pincer attack on our fleet!"
"And once we are delayed, the three trillion warships around us will swarm in and completely surround us."
"If the war situation really turns out to be like that, then even if we still win in the end, we will still pay a certain price!"
"This response... is really fast and precise!"
Looking at the fleet movements behind the allied defense lines in the battlefield dynamic model, Alfie quickly surmised Lavoisier's purpose.
"Commander, if this continues, we will be exposed to those fleets immediately after breaking through the defense line. Even if we have a dark energy shield, we are not invincible after all. In the end, we will pay a heavy price.
!”
"It doesn't matter, just punch him through before they complete the deployment!"
"Before their deployment is complete?"
The adjutant was a little confused. After all, she had just calculated that when the opponent's deployment was completed, her own fleet would not have enough time to completely break through the first line of defense.
It's not that the firepower is not good, but simply the speed is not.
After all, without the hyperspace engine and stargate, the Federation warships can only rely on sub-light speed navigation, and this speed is obviously unable to support the idea.
There is actually nothing wrong with the adjutant's idea. If the sublight speed engine is not affected by the time dilation image, the seventh battle speed in the federal speed standard is already the maximum speed. If it is raised any higher, it will inevitably occur.
Time dilation effect.
It will take at least 15 minutes to break through the opponent's defense line at the seventh battle speed. However, according to calculations, the fleet behind the opponent's defense line can be mobilized in about 10 minutes to complete the second line of defense.
original...
That's right.
but...
The adjutant seemed to have forgotten one thing.
The seventh battle speed has never been the ultimate speed of the Federation fleet at sub-light speed. As early as the early days of the war with the Zerg, humans already had the technology to sail up to 0.99 times the speed of light, and could completely offset the speed of sailing at this speed.
The time dilation effect produced under.
However, in the past few decades, almost all human opponents have no means of restricting hyperspace navigation, which makes combat speeds above level seven useless.
After all, no matter how fast the sub-light speed is, it is still just the sub-light speed.
In terms of single-wheel speed and efficiency, it is not even qualified to carry shoes for hyperspace and space teleportation.
However, at a time when hyperspace and space teleportation are restricted, the speed above level seven will obviously become the key to the outcome of this war.
"Start the time dilation countermeasure immediately. Thirty seconds later, the entire fleet will accelerate to ninth battle speed!"
"Yes, Commander!"
While responding, the adjutant finally remembered the device that had never been used since the elf fleet was formed.
That's right, I have forgotten the fact that with the help of that device, the warships of the Federation Fleet can avoid time dilation images and accelerate to ninth battle speed!
In fact, the first ones to use this technology were the Federation's impact ships, which were special unmanned ships used on the Vita defense line of the Mels galaxy group when fighting against the Zerg.
Since then, although this technology is still a standard feature of every generation of general-purpose warships, it has never been used again.
In the void, the entire fleet suddenly began to accelerate, and the body of the battleship was being stretched, at least...
From the outside, this is the visual effect.
"The fleet speed has reached the eighth battle speed, currently 0.5 times the speed of light, and continues to accelerate!"
"0.6 times the speed of light...0.7 times the speed of light...0.8 times the speed of light...0.9 times the speed of light..."
"Commander, the fleet has accelerated to its ninth combat speed. The current speed is 0.99 times the speed of light. The time dilation countermeasure device is operating normally!"
"The estimated time to completely break through the local first line of defense is 168 seconds!"
After the fleet accelerated for a minute, the adjutant looked at the data on the virtual interface in front of him, turned around and reported to Alfie.
This scene was also captured by the coalition forces.
The entire virtual war room was in complete chaos at this moment!
"How is that possible? The data must be wrong. Please measure again!"
"This is already the third time!"
"No, I don't believe it, it's simply impossible!"
"Yes, if they really reached this speed, why didn't the time dilation effect occur?"
"This simply violates fundamental law!"
"Yes, I believe that our measuring equipment is malfunctioning!"
...
The hall was extremely noisy.
It's really...
The Federation's current speed scares them!
In fact, it has been captured here since the federal fleet first started to accelerate.
But the problem is that this should have exceeded the safe speed range. Logically speaking, the federal fleet should have been caught in the time dilation effect.
All of this is beyond their comprehension!
"Quiet!"
Looking at the increasingly chaotic war room, Lavoisier shouted loudly.
"Now it's not a question of whether you believe it or not, but that the human fleet did this!"
"According to the latest calculation results, humans will break through our first line of defense in less than three minutes."
"As for the second line of defense we are deploying, it will be directly penetrated by the human fleet before the deployment is completed."
"Eventually, our flagship will be directly exposed to the opponent's fleet!"
