This is the attack effect of electromagnetic pulse bombs. They can generate extremely high-intensity electromagnetic pulses, which act on wires, causing them to instantly generate extremely high-intensity voltages and burn out all circuits with insufficient protection levels.
Without circuits and semiconductor components, it can be said that the spacecraft is just scrap metal. All the components inside it can no longer function, even the life support system.
Realizing that a full 15 spaceships were paralyzed in the battlefield in an instant, a surge of ecstasy instantly surged into Noli Ruoxi's heart.
"Kill me...Kill them! Without these spaceships, I'll see how they destroy us!"
Although he still didn't quite understand the president's strategic intentions and why he was so excited about just some small combat spaceships, the wise men and soldiers of the War Temple still had to carry out his orders immediately.
Under the coordinated attack of various weapons such as electromagnetic guns, gunpowder firearms, laser cannons, rockets, etc., the enemy spacecraft, which had lost its power and could only move inertially along its current orbit, almost within a few minutes It was completely destroyed.
"Hahahaha!" Noli Ruoxi laughed wildly. He already felt that the light of hope had truly appeared.
Realizing that we have a powerful weapon to deal with combat spaceships, even if the enemy still has combat spaceships, they will definitely not dare to send them over again. Without the combat spacecraft, what weapons do they have to deal with the surviving bases? On the contrary, our own side can more easily obtain supplies from the planet and continue to support it.
The enemy can only rely on the material support it has brought all the way. After their supplies were almost exhausted, they had no choice but to flee in a hurry.
However, an attack of this scale requires at least several decades of preparation. In other words, our side will usher in peace for at least several decades. Moreover, the enemy's "sneak attack" attack method can only be used once, and it will not work at all if he is prepared for the second time.
"When this incident is over, let me see what other tricks you have! Human beings, wait for me! When the civilization fleet arrives on your planet, your civilization will be completely destroyed!"
Noli Ruoxi had already figured out the follow-up arrangements in an instant. At the same time, he secretly made a vow in his heart.
Although the atmosphere in the space carrier and war headquarters was slightly tense, it was generally relaxed.
As the war progresses to this point, people's mood will also improve as one's own side has a comprehensive advantage.
Just as everyone was discussing something in low voices, the large screen in front showed the small windows of each of the 18 combat spaceships. Suddenly, a full 15 of them disappeared in an instant, disconnecting from the space carrier. contact.
People looked at each other.
"Is this a communication failure?"
Zhao Changxing had one hand clenched tightly into a fist. He felt a little ominous. Sure enough, the next moment, the only three surviving spacecrafts each sent emergency messages.
"Report to the headquarters that we are under a suspected electromagnetic pulse attack. 60% of the spacecraft system has failed. It can only accelerate at 40% power. The weapon system has also failed! There is a fire, put out the fire quickly!"
"Report to the headquarters, emergency, emergency, request to withdraw from the battlefield! Exit from the battlefield!"
"No. 6, spacecraft No. 6, please reply! Please reply immediately! No!"
"Report to the command center, spacecraft No. 6 is suspected to have lost all power and has been destroyed!"
"Spaceship No. 12 was also destroyed!"
Committee member Wu Qinghong's eyes almost burst out with fire, and he slammed the table.
"How is this possible?! How can there be such a powerful electromagnetic pulse weapon! This is beyond the technological level of both of us! Deep space civilization does not have such advanced technology!"
"Our spaceship is electromagnetic shielded! Ordinary electromagnetic pulse bombs are completely ineffective! How did they achieve such high power!"
At this moment, a word flashed through the minds of everyone present almost at the same time.
Cheating.
All military personnel of human civilization were trained in the game "Star Wars" from the beginning. Part of human civilization's military thinking on space warfare was also formed in simulations.
However, at this moment, this kind of super strategic weapon that can destroy 15 combat ships in an instant, causing serious damage to the remaining 3 combat ships, and having to flee the battlefield in a hurry, is not allowed to exist in the game "Interstellar War". ! If anyone uses this weapon, there is no other explanation other than cheating.
However, during game play and training, opponents can complain to the referee if they use this weapon. Now, who should people complain to?
The most critical point is that with the level of technology displayed by deep space civilization, how could they create such a weapon? If their technical level is really so high, how come they were beaten so badly by human civilization?
Zhao Changxing's expression was solemn and calm. He stood up slowly: "I think this should be a legacy left over from the heyday of deep space civilization, allowing them to create this kind of weapon even with the current backward technology."
Zhao Changxing's heart was filled with pain at this moment. Because he knew that just now, a full 45 outstanding soldiers lost their lives.
I watched them grow up, watched them receive training, watched them become excellent soldiers, and obtain qualifications for interstellar expeditions. Then, they were all buried here.
His heart hurt like a knife. But he didn't show it on his face at all.
Because he is the leader of human civilization and the commander-in-chief of everyone at this moment.
"There is no referee here, and you will not be resurrected if you die. This is a battlefield, and anything can happen on the battlefield. When the three surviving spaceships come back, we will check their damage and speculate on the enemy's weapons. The specific power, and then, find a way to solve it. At this stage... except for long-distance harassment attacks, stop all close combat. "
"yes."
If Zhao Changxing knew in advance that the enemy had this kind of weapon, then this interstellar expedition would most likely not take place at all. Even if it happens, it will definitely be after a solution has been thought of.
But there are no ifs in the world. At this moment, human civilization and the expeditionary force still have no retreat.
The three surviving combat spacecraft finally staggered back to the space carrier. Afterwards, they were immediately dismantled in the shipyard. All commanders, including Zhao Changxing, came to the scene.
Several accompanying engineers inspected it briefly and then shook their heads.
"It's really a high-power electromagnetic pulse bomb. These spacecraft are basically scrapped. Unless they are all dismantled and all electronic systems are replaced."
"Can you find a way to do electromagnetic shielding?"
The engineer's face was full of embarrassment.
"It's easy to make electromagnetic shielding. However, once complete electromagnetic shielding is done, the inside of the spacecraft will be a completely 'black box', and it will be impossible to even communicate with the outside world. Unless, unless an operable electromagnetic shielding system is made, it will be detected When the electromagnetic pulse bomb is about to arrive, it will completely seal itself, and normally it will unshield and fight. However, this design..."
"The space carrier does not have this kind of modification capability. Even on Sedna, the solution we can do will seriously affect the maneuverability of the spacecraft, and it is almost equivalent to redesigning the entire spacecraft."
"Even if such a spacecraft is built, I'm afraid it won't be capable of actual combat. This level of electromagnetic shielding at this stage is the limit of what we can achieve."
As several engineers talked about it, the commanders looked increasingly ugly.
The engineers' meaning is very clear. With the current stage of technology, it is impossible to resist such electromagnetic pulse bombs.
what should we do?
One thing is clear, that is, before finding a way to defend, people can no longer send combat ships to engage in close combat.
However, without dispatching combat spaceships, it is impossible to destroy the enemy's remaining vitality. Moreover, this living force is still trying every means to restore itself.
People's eyes once again focused on Zhao Changxing.
Zhao Changxing was silent for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Contact the civilization and issue a reward order within the entire civilization."
There is no need to keep it secret at this moment.
"yes."
The radio wave carrying the expeditionary force's request for help arrived at Sedna after flying for more than three minutes, and was authorized by the human government and war committee to be announced to the entire civilization. Only now did people realize that so many things had happened in the past period of time.
Our human civilization has actually launched an expedition and almost destroyed the other's civilization...
In the face of this major crisis involving the life and death of civilization, no one dares to take it lightly. In a very short period of time, many suggestions and ideas were gathered into the Human Government and War Council. But none of them could pass the review conditions they set, and none were qualified to be sent to the expedition fleet.
Time is passing slowly.
In the space carrier, people's mood has gradually turned from full of expectations to despair.
Could it be that, with the expectations of the entire civilization and the destiny of the entire civilization on our backs, we must return without success?
No, it's not a failure. We couldn't even walk. Under this ebb and flow, it will be us who will be eliminated in the end. When we all die in battle, the next ones to be destroyed will be those living on Sedna, our parents, our relatives, our friends, and...our civilization.
At this moment, in the dormitory, under darkness, Cheng Kaitian was lying on the bed but couldn't fall asleep no matter what. As soon as he closed his eyes, the figures of his fallen comrades would always appear in front of him.
One moment, we were eating together, training together, laughing together, and the next moment we were separated forever.
At this moment, he had deeply felt the cruelty of war.
After tossing and turning for a long time, he sighed and gave up on sleeping. He came to the porthole, opened the curtains, looked out the window at the quiet and deep universe, looked at the thousands of stars that were constantly rotating, and fell into an ethereal state.
