In fact, this is a psychological problem. You have to withdraw your troops, but you also want the other party to judge that you have another purpose, rather than preparing to use a terminal bomb.
The key is that this so-called other purpose needs to have enough motivation to make the other party fall for it.
And the motivation given by Lin Fan was...
Taking advantage of the fact that there is no difference in the maximum speed between the two sides when sailing at sub-light speed, by retreating and fighting at the same time, always maintaining a huge numerical difference with the coalition forces, in order to always maintain the battle loss ratio at an extremely low level.
This motive was not only persuasive enough, but also extremely feasible, and Bonifacio fell into it instantly.
Thinking that he had seen through all the actions of Moi Alliance, he issued "targeted" orders without hesitation.
Each wave of newly arriving warships was divided into parts and chased after the Moi fleet like a long snake.
Both the Moi fleet and the coalition fleet are maintaining 20% of the speed of light at this moment. This is the maximum speed that a warship can achieve without being affected by the time dilation effect.
It is precisely because of this that subsequent coalition warships arriving through ocean currents will never be able to catch up with the chasing fleet in front.
Therefore, after dozens of waves of warships, the coalition's pursuit fleet has turned into a long snake, and those that can engage in firefights with the Moi fleet are always only those warships located at the head of the snake. The number is less than 2 billion. Between the two sides,
The quantitative difference between them remained at an astonishing more than a hundred times.
Given this gap in data volume, almost all of the warships that catch up and enter the firing phase are sending.
However, Bonifacio is not worried about this situation at all, and everything is under his "control".
As long as it can bite the default fleet, it can create extremely favorable conditions for the arrival of subsequent fleets and contact with surrounding hyperspace interference.
The ten war zones maintained the same situation for ten days, and during these ten days, Bonifacio's face became increasingly ugly.
It wasn't until they began to decipher the Federation's hyperspace interference parameters that the coalition discovered a problem.
If we want to divide them by level, the hyperspace jamming devices of general advanced civilizations can basically be divided into five levels.
The first is a low-power version with an interference range of only 5-10au. The advantage is that the cost is low enough and suitable for small battlefields.
The second type is the most widely used standard type. Depending on the level of technology of each civilization, its interference range is about 1-3 light years. This range can be used in most interstellar wars of high-order civilizations.
The last type is an enhanced type. The cost of one of them is more than 10,000 times that of the standard type, and the interference range reaches a frightening dozens of light years depending on the level of science and technology of each civilization.
But the problem is that the cost of this enhanced hyperspace jamming device is so terrifying that all civilizations will not make too many of them and will just use them as strategic jammers.
After all, after reaching the ninth level of technological civilization, it is not difficult to decipher the parameters of an interference device.
Even if it wasn't like the Moi people, who had their own unique technology that could crack it quickly, it would never take more than three days.
Therefore, when you deploy a 50-light-year strategic hyperspace jammer, it can only block the enemy for 2 or 3 days at most. The significance of mass production is really not very great.
However, the coalition forces discovered that the hyperspace jamming device deployed by the Moi people was neither strategic nor standard, but...
Low power version with minimal interference range!
Moreover, the parameters set in each interference device are different.
This is ridiculous...
As mentioned before, although high-end civilization warships are equipped with hyperspace interference countermeasures devices, as long as the interference parameters of the current space are input, the hyperspace engine can be started without being affected.
But there is also a problem here. The hyperspace interference countermeasure device can only operate for one set of parameters each time it is run. When the warship enters another interfered area and the interference parameters are different, the warship will still be forced to
Exit hyperspace and cannot re-enter unless this new interference parameter is cracked again.
Therefore, in the vast majority of battlefields, no one would do this. After all, when you restrict the other party, you will also impose some restrictions on yourself.
However, the Moi Alliance not only did this, but also used a low-power version of the hyperspace interference device, almost one in every 5au area.
In other words, the coalition forces are simply unable to quickly disperse the arriving fleet after cracking the hyperspace interference parameters as Bonifacio planned before.
After all, every 2 or 3 days, we can only advance a distance of 5au. If we want to completely disperse all the warships...
I don't know how much time it will take to do it.
Of course, in order to achieve this step, Moi United also worked hard.
Except for the fleet, at least half of the people were invested in the production of this low-power jamming device. This allowed the Moi Alliance to obtain a sufficient number of jamming devices to support this operation within a few years.
You must know that the universe is three-dimensional rather than flat. If it is deployed in a spherical shape with the ocean current as the center, then the number of deployed interference devices will increase exponentially for every pair extending 5 au.
Therefore, to expand the entire jamming array to the one-light-year range required by Lin Fan, the number of jamming devices required for each battlefield is an astronomical number.
This kind of deployment method is simply crazy.
As for the restrictions imposed on your own fleet?
It doesn't exist. Didn't you see that your fleet was retreating at sub-light speed without using hyperspace navigation?
One month, two months...
One year later!
Once a plan starts, it cannot be stopped. No matter how slow the plan is, you must grit your teeth and hold on.
Looking at the battle damage reports that were produced every day in order to capture the Moi fleet, Bonifacio could only grit his teeth and continue to let the fleets arriving in each war zone separate some of them to continue to catch up and send them as cannon fodder.
The fleet on the Moi side was really excited. They had never fought such a battle.
Each time, with a strength difference of more than a hundred times, the opponent was eliminated at a very small cost, and then slowed down and waited for a group of fleets behind the coalition to catch up within each other's range, then accelerated to 20% of the speed of light, and continued to bully.
An ordinary battle of annihilation.
In this way, within a year, the Moi fleet in each theater had thrown a distance of 0.2 light-years, and in the process of retreat, they successively wiped out the coalition's fleet of more than one trillion, and the ten theaters
Altogether, the coalition forces suffered the loss of more than 10 trillion battleships.
Bonifacio was going crazy about this situation.
With the ocean current as the center, the interference array constructed by the Moi people using low-power hyperspace interference devices seems to be endless, no matter which direction it is.
After a year, the coalition forces have developed a non-interference zone with a radius of nearly a thousand au from the mouth of the Yangtze River, but they still have not been able to completely get rid of this interference array.
Today, the number of warships assembled by the coalition forces in each theater has reached more than five trillion, all of which are squeezed into this spherical range with a radius of 7 or 8 hundred AU.
"Commander Lin Fan, there are already several coalition fleets in the defense zone that are about to touch the outermost area of our jamming array!"
In the virtual joint war room between humans and Moi people, Nina spoke to Lin Fan with undisguised excitement on her face.
"Well, it's time to notify all fleets and proceed as planned immediately!"
