He remembered a weapon that the Academy of Military Science had predicted in theory.
An acceleration method that relies on electromagnetic acceleration to give interstellar missiles a very high initial velocity, just like electromagnetic gun projectiles.
It is very likely that the enemy is using this kind of weapon now...
After mastering this technology, the shortcoming of the interstellar missile's slow speed can almost be said to be completely solved. At the same time, due to the great saving of propellant, their size can also become smaller, which is more conducive to breaking through the enemy's defense network.
Generally speaking, if an interstellar missile is too small, its warhead will not be able to load too much ammunition.
Compared with interstellar targets, small hydrogen bombs are the most effective way to kill them. Ordinary chemical high-explosive ammunition, even total nitrogen anion salts, seems to be somewhat insufficient.
And if the interstellar missile is too small, how can it carry a hydrogen bomb?
This is an unsolvable problem for human civilization. but……
The Moyun Litar civilization is a level 3 civilization that has mastered large-scale, industrial production of antimatter!
Antimatter itself is a super powerful explosive, its power is even more than 10 times more efficient than nuclear fusion!
When just one gram of antimatter reacts with positive matter, the energy released is almost equivalent to the energy released by the explosion of more than 40,000 tons of TNT explosives!
Now, Li Dajiang is almost certain that the Moyun Litar civilization has almost perfectly solved the three problems of miniaturization, speed, and high power of interstellar missiles.
With just a hasty counterattack, the Moyun Litar civilization showed an almost crushing technological strength.
And... this spaceship is most likely just an armed mining ship, not a professional combat spacecraft.
Li Dajiang sighed slightly, his expression still calm.
"Command, all three space carriers enter maximum radio silence. At the same time, start the first set of maneuver plans."
Li Dajiang knew clearly that since the enemy already had preliminary interception capabilities, they would not be willing to just intercept.
After intercepting our own missiles, the next step is to launch an attack on our own side...
The three space carriers are undoubtedly the most likely targets.
Therefore, from now on, we must do everything possible to hide ourselves.
As long as the detailed coordinates are not determined, there is no fear of being hit by this small, fast, and powerful interstellar missile.
"yes."
Even before departure, the war committee had compiled several maneuver plans. In each set of maneuver plans, every random period of time, the space carrier will perform a maneuver of random intensity and random direction to avoid being locked by the enemy.
Even the other combat spacecraft have no way of knowing where their own mothership has maneuvered to at this moment.
They will only know a rough range. After entering this range, they can receive a specific signal and follow the signal's guidance to eventually return to the mothership to complete supplies.
"Now, the only thing we can look forward to is that the electromagnetic gun projectile cluster can achieve our strategic goals."
Okaro spacecraft, main control room.
After Villagash saw with his own eyes that all the bright spots that meant danger and death disappeared, and confirmed that no interstellar missile could hit his own spacecraft, his whole body suddenly relaxed, as if his bones had been ripped away in an instant.
It was so exciting. In his 500 years of life, he had never experienced this feeling.
But before he could relax for long, a violent roar, accompanied by the sound of metal tearing and explosions, reached his ears.
"This is... a cluster of electromagnetic gun projectiles!"
At this moment, the super projectiles fired by the space carrier's super-giant electromagnetic gun first landed on the Okaro spacecraft.
The triangles scattered all over the armor of the Okaro spaceship can provide extremely strong protection for the spacecraft. But now, under the bombardment of projectiles weighing dozens of grams, they were easily torn apart like paper.
The thick armor, which was several meters thick, was easily penetrated. The electromagnetic gun projectile easily rushed into the buffer and sealing chamber under the armor, and directly tore through the second layer of armor.
During this process, the electromagnetic protective armor failed to play any role. Because the kinetic energy carried by these projectiles is too great.
Explosion, roar, fire, gas leak, liquid leak, short circuit...
A series of disasters befell the spacecraft.
But this is just a prelude. After the first batch of electromagnetic gun projectiles came into contact with the spacecraft, the second batch, a cluster of electromagnetic gun projectiles that far exceeded the first batch, also arrived.
Compared with the main guns on the space carrier, they have low mass, slow speed, and low kinetic energy. But they can also tear through armor up to several meters thick, and there are too many of them!
There are as many as a heavy rain!
Tens of millions of electromagnetic cannon projectiles swarmed in, instantly swamping the spacecraft! Moreover, with the aerospace carrier as the core, the group of combat spaceships that are constantly moving forward are still repeating the previous process of launch-supply-launch, pouring out a steady stream of electromagnetic cannon projectiles that can be called a sky-high amount!
Even the small interstellar missiles that our own side tried to use to counterattack and directly destroy the enemy's combat spacecraft failed to be launched again!
Because the projectile density is too high. As soon as the interstellar missile left the launcher, it was destroyed by a stray bullet. Even the electromagnetic catapult used to launch them was directly destroyed!
This is the way the war committee envisioned before the war began to fight against the super interstellar missiles that the enemy is likely to have.
Since I can't resist, I might as well not let you fire even a single shot! Bring you to the same level as us to fight!
Although this will also cause our own side to no longer be able to use weapons such as interstellar missiles - because the battlefield is too chaotic at the moment and there are electromagnetic gun projectiles with varying speeds everywhere, the interstellar missiles will inevitably be affected and accidentally damaged by our own side, but what does this mean? No matter what, they will be intercepted even if they are launched.
Villagash was not a professional military officer. But the situation at this moment also made him realize that his attempt to rely on interstellar missiles to destroy the enemy's combat spacecraft and mothership had failed.
What's more, the enemy's mothership has disappeared from the radar screen. This obviously means that the other party has begun a counter-search maneuver.
The enemy is cautious to a certain extent.
Interstellar missiles cannot be used, and laser cannons are not easy to use due to accuracy issues - because the distance is too far, the target observed by our side at the moment is actually the enemy's image a few seconds or even ten seconds ago. Even if the coordinates targeted by the laser cannon have been increased in advance, no one can guarantee that the enemy will move in a straight line at a uniform speed during this period of time.
If the movement state changes slightly, the laser cannon will fail.
Therefore, the laser cannon can only be used as an auxiliary, and cannot be relied on to determine the outcome of the battle.
So……
"Captain, the armor of area F-5 is severely damaged and all equipment is gone!"
"The enemy's electromagnetic gun has too many projectiles!"
Villagash suddenly discovered that after relying on the interstellar missiles with technological crushing capabilities to finally regain a victory, his side quickly fell into an absolute disadvantage.
The main reason is that too many systems of one's own spacecraft are paralyzed, and the weapon system cannot exert its full power at all. Moreover, our own side cannot maneuver at all and can only be used as a living target!
Although all the laser cannons and more than 500 electromagnetic cannons available to our side are counterattacking with all their strength at this moment, the scale of the attack is not proportional at all. What's more, under the enemy's attack, the number of weapons that one can use is still decreasing.
The so-called ants bite the elephant to death. Although the enemy's electromagnetic gun projectiles are small and slow, there are too many of them to hold them down!
If one projectile makes a hole in the armor, ten projectiles can penetrate it!
"How to do how to do?"
Villagash became anxious again.
He suddenly grabbed the communicator and shouted: "Has the vacuum cannon been repaired? Has the combat spaceship been repaired?"
For now, there are only two things we can do.
1. Use the most powerful weapons on the Okaro spacecraft to launch a range attack on the enemy and eliminate the enemy's effective strength as much as possible.
Second, use your own combat spacecraft to fight the enemy in the field. While reducing the pressure on the Okaro spacecraft, you can also eliminate some of the enemy's effective forces and provide buffer time for your own side!
"The vacuum cannon is expected to take another three hours to repair! About 100 combat spaceships have been repaired at this time!"
The Okaro spacecraft carried a total of 216 small combat spacecraft.
"Order! Once the enemy enters our 1 million kilometer range, no matter how many combat spaceships have been repaired, release them all!"
"But Captain, if there is no scale effect, the combat spaceship will be easily annihilated by the enemy!"
"I don't care about so much anymore! As long as it can buy us some time! By then, we can use interstellar missiles and vacuum cannons to kill them! Besides, our combat spaceship is not so easy to be destroyed!"
On this point, Villagash has absolute confidence.
The Okaro spacecraft is just an armed mining ship, and its armor does not adopt military armor. In that case the cost would be too high. But those combat spaceships are different.
Do you want to rely on current electromagnetic gun projectiles to penetrate the armor of a combat spacecraft? dream!
Villagash thought viciously.
The human escort fleet has been advancing slowly but surely.
However, the closer the distance, the higher the accuracy of their shooting. When the distance is close enough, they can even achieve the effect of fixed-point sniping without reducing the scale.
As long as all the enemy's forts, launch pads, and laser cannons are destroyed, the enemy will lose all ability to resist.
Under the constant attack of "heavy rain", Marshal Li Dajiang realized that the balance of victory was slowly tilting towards his side.
But facing a level 3 civilization, he still didn't dare to relax at all. Because he doesn't know when the enemy will come up with a super weapon that he has never seen or heard of, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.
