"I remember... I really remember you!" The power of the disintegrating torpedo was undeniable. A large hole was blown open on the back of the "Ogg" hull, causing it to tremble in pain. Running back. He was still running and shouting, and he was so angry that he wanted to go crazy. In desperation, it had to disconnect the body's nervous system, completely cut off the sense of touch and pain, and let the body be controlled by the computer.
This is something that is extremely unacceptable to the pioneer-class "Ogg" - it is as sad as turning around and crawling for humans who have evolved into upright walking. Whether it is from Ai Kexue or Ms. Liming, it can be seen that although artificial intelligence embodies super computing power, data collection and retrieval capabilities, multi-thread processing capabilities, etc., artificial intelligence has evolved. Iconic milestones along the way are often related to personification and humanization. Auger is no exception. As a highly anthropomorphic AI among the Reapers, it actually looks more like a creature most of the time than a synthetic robot.
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. One moment, the Reapers were seized by the Dawn, and they took advantage of a weakness of the floating fighter planes, almost wiping out the first wave of the Reaper fleet; the next moment, as many as 20,000 people were killed. The destroyer fleet has crossed the balance line and is heading towards the Lightning Strike Fleet Matrix without hesitation!
The lightning strike ships began to fire methodically one after another, but the firing frequency was unhurried. Although some Destroyer-class battleships were destroyed, they could not stop the approach of the large fleet. It’s really worrying! After hundreds of ships of the Destroyer fleet were destroyed, the distance between the two sides was already very close. When the destroyer fleet began to bear the damage, it rushed into the circle of lightning strike ships. The damage on Dawn's side suddenly increased.
From the perspective of interstellar warfare, both sides participating in the war are unqualified! If we look at the Star Alliance's traditional combat methods, each battlefield should be fought with battleships as the core, cruisers as the backbone, and frigates for reconnaissance, testing and harassment... The preparation time for a battle exceeds several star systems, but the battle The process may only take a few minutes. And once the expected losses exceed 20%, most commanders will choose to retreat.
This is because compared to other war resources. Each battleship is extremely expensive and strategically important. So a lot of the time. It is even possible to give up some unimportant airspace in order to save a battleship.
But the Reaper and the Dawn are clearly different! Less than four hours after the whole war started, nearly two thousand warships of various types were already buried here! The Reapers have tasted unprecedented losses... because both sides of the war have extremely expensive warships, like toys, without hesitation, putting them at bayonet distance from the cannon to start the battle! The combat distance is almost equivalent to that of hand-to-hand combat - and not only that. The commanders of both sides were extremely cold-blooded and threw battleships, fighter planes and mechas into the meat grinder like cannon fodder! Watch them disintegrate into debris floating in the universe in a matter of seconds...
*****
Ms. Liming stood behind Lu Yuan, and the two of them looked at the battlefield outside the window in silence.
Looking down from the zenith, you will find that the Destroyer battleships are divided into several groups, some thrust forward, some around the left, and there are even two battleship groups that have been mixed with the Lightning Strike battleships. The originally white rectangle now seemed to have been bitten from the side, revealing a mixed black and white "wound".
In the most intensive part of the battle, there were even thousands of warships crowded into a one-minute area! A moment ago, several torpedo ships focused their fire. The Destroyer-class Reaper battleship was destroyed, and the next moment, the Lightning Striker was cut off by the rampaging Reaper! And in the finer gaps in the combat area. There are still heavy mechas and floating fighters fighting relentlessly - everything that moves will automatically become a target, and almost no one can survive for more than a minute in that area.
The screen on the side of the two people showed the situation inside the Dawn Mothership. As many Lightning Strike battleships were destroyed, a large number of "killed" geth uploaded themselves back to the mothership and then downloaded them to the composite platform. Rows of geth came out of hibernation and replenished themselves on the mothership's guard turret console. They sat there quietly. Waiting for Yakumo Murasaki's order.
"38.1%" Ms. Liming reported the latest attrition rate figure just calculated - the Dawn had regained a slight disadvantage. Although everyone understands that it is impossible for the Reapers to spend 40% of their troops to kill the Dawn. That would definitely exceed the Catalyst's psychological bottom line; and the Dawn's attack so far has not just destroyed the entire army, just to drain the opponent's blood!
Both sides are chasing the moment of victory, but it is more difficult for Dawn...
"Great, we've captured the Pioneer class ship due to the radiation from the location-fragmenting torpedo explosion!" Ms. Ming Ming said with some joy. She raised her hand, and a dozen small holographic screens unfolded on the side of Lu Yuan. The seriously injured pioneer "Ogg" appeared on the screen, and it was being displayed in all directions. At this moment, the cunning and bold "Ogg" didn't know that it had been locked by the Dawn and was sailing towards the outermost Overlord-class battleship group.
"Do you want to kill it? How about I tell Yakumo Murasaki to fire a main gun?! Capture the thief first. Capture the king first. Maybe kill it and the Reaper fleet will retreat on its own." Ms. Liming said eagerly.
"It's not the right time yet. Take it step by step. We still need to be patient for the time being..." Lu Yuan lay down on the back of the sofa and said a little tiredly. In fact, by now, he has been able to roughly guess the command idea of the pioneer "Og". There is not much benefit in killing Og now. Because the Reapers themselves are intelligent creatures, they are cold and cunning, and at the same time they are indifferent to each other and their own lives. They will not retreat at all because their commander is killed. "Killing this Pioneer is not the goal. Now we want nothing but victory!"
"...Yes, Captain!"
*****
"Og", who hid in the Overlord-class Reaper fleet again, finally breathed a sigh of relief. After it felt that it was safe, it returned to paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.
"It's really annoying, it's gone up again." Looking at the increasing attrition rate, "Ogg" complained quite dissatisfiedly, but he didn't feel that this battle needed to reach a battle loss level of 40%. Because through his own observations, Pioneer Ogg has clearly discovered three major flaws in the battle formation formed by the Dawn and the Lightning Strike Fleet! It can be said that each is fatal.
First of all, although the Dawn Mothership can provide shields for the entire fleet, using a single shield for the entire fleet is a huge flaw! That's why he let the Destroyer fleet rush forward and fight in close quarters regardless of the cost. Because as long as you rush into the big shield, what role can those shields play? We have a shield but the opponent does not. As long as we adhere to the principle of close combat, it is not difficult to win.
Secondly, although the "wireless power transmission" technology brought out by Dawn is indeed very advanced, Ogg admitted that he was shocked at first. But as the battle progressed, Ogg keenly calculated that the power of the Thunderstrike battleship's main gun should not be so bad! That doesn't seem to be a design flaw, but seems to be caused by insufficient energy supply... From this point of view, either the unlimited power transmission power is limited, or... there is an energy bottleneck in Dawn! Think about it, who made such a crazy plan to rely on only one mothership to power 25,000 lightning strike warships?
Without the latter point, Ogg would feel that just arranging the large fleet in a line and shooting from both sides... would be able to exhaust the Dawn. A sure win. But with the third point... Ogg sighed with regret, wishing he could win three times in a row!
The third flaw in the defense formation of the Dawn Mothership is that it is backed by the Twin Blue Superstars!
****
If space were a riddle, it would definitely be difficult for both of us.
Because no one has ever truly mastered the universe...
Due to the twin blue giant stars that Dawn resided in, they forcibly tore two pieces of interstellar dust from the nearby nebulae, causing most of the entire Spear Galaxy to be obscured by the brilliant and colorful nebula curtain.
The b blue giant pulled two nebulae and swallowed them up. From the outside, it looked like a fat blue man surrounding two tablecloths, one white and one colored, covering the lower half of the planet. However, these beautiful nebulae are actually restricted areas for warships, and only the stupid and thick Reaper warships dare to break into them. Nowadays, except for the area above the blue giant star, which seems to have been specially cleared for hundreds of millions of miles and can be used as a battlefield, most of the remaining areas in the entire Spear Galaxy are almost covered in fog.
The chaotic environment inside the nebula, the debris after the trap was detonated, and the large-scale radiation flying along the gravitational force compress the detection range of the spacecraft to the extreme when it sails in it, and the closer it gets to the blue giant star, the more dangerous it becomes.
But just when the battle above the twin stars was heating up, thousands of large and small black dots were mixed in the white "tablecloth" and "drifted" along the gravity. Just like that, they arrived directly behind the battle formation of Dawn... but Dawn seemed to know nothing about it.
When these black dots came near the blue giant star, they rose up one by one, and the huge black ship hull seemed to have emerged from the water. In an instant, they gathered into a dense array of 400 Overlord-class battleships, and 800 destroyer ships. By!
"Attack!" Following the order, thousands of insect-type warships opened their huge claws upwards, and rushed towards the Dawn's rear formation with their heads high!
"It's over." When the sneak attack fleet instantly broke through the midpoint of the balance line and put the Dawn under the muzzle of the gun, the pioneer "Ogg" easily broadcast to the Reaper fleet.
