Before the new orbital supply station can be put into use, Chu Jungui must deal with the Federation's fleet near Planet 4. No matter how confident the test subjects are, they don't think they can defeat a fleet of at least three heavy cruisers with the Dinner Knife in their hands.
However, Chu Jungui's strategic goal is to expel rather than annihilate. To be more specific, it is to expel the federal fleet to high orbit. Under this strategic purpose, there are many means available.
After fully discussing with Li Ruobai and the girl, consulting Kaitian's opinions, and gathering the wisdom of all major components, Chu Jungui came up with an idea. In the next period of time, operations against the federal fleet will be characterized by high frequency, low intensity, repeated and repetitive attacks. They will not avoid attacks that have no results, and will mainly cause the enemy psychological discomfort, and thus produce physiological consequences. discomfort, thereby causing the enemy to voluntarily withdraw from the strike area.
This tactic sounds complicated, but to sum it up in the words of the girl, it means trying every possible means to disgust people.
In order to completely implement this tactic, Chu Jungui wants to further transform the Dinner Knife. Speed and maneuverability are naturally top priorities, especially the ability to turn in a wide range. Therefore, Chu Jungui installed all the remaining attitude engines on the Dinner Knife.
In terms of the number of engines alone, the little Dinner Knife has surpassed the frigate and is close to the destroyer. This gives it terrifying maneuverability, which has reached the level of a first-class fighter. Precisely because of their super mobility, Li Ruobai and Li Xinyi, the only ones who had obtained the Emperor's Body, were able to board the Dinner Knife and fight together. Fortunately, with Kai Tian here, the Dinner Knife is equivalent to having a spaceship mastermind that transcends the Cambrian era. Coupled with the girl and Li Ruobai, computing power is no longer a shortcoming.
In addition to mobility, protection is also a top priority. Chu Jungui piled armor plates on the Din Knife layer by layer, turning the Din Knife from cigar-shaped to egg-shaped in the blink of an eye.
Strong protection isn't just for safety. According to the analysis of historical events by the political component, the most disgusting type of opponent is the kind of opponent that cannot be killed or driven away, and that still wanders around in front of you every day. So Chu Jungui also changed his strategy accordingly. The ultra-thick protective layer allowed him to swing two more times in front of the enemy. Survival-grade composite materials were cheap anyway.
Finally, there's firepower.
The Dinner Knife is equipped with a destroyer and a frigate main gun, as well as 8 various secondary guns. After all, the destroyer's main gun was removed from Lin Xi's ship. It was the latest model of the Tang Dynasty. Its power was as high as 500, which was more than 20% higher than the ordinary destroyer's main gun. For ordinary destroyers, they can basically be destroyed within 10 shots. In comparison, the main gun power of the frigate stolen from the Federation is only 110.
There won't be more cannons for the time being, but Chu Jungui still has some good stuff, the most important of which are three heavy space torpedoes.
These three torpedoes were all removed from Xu Zhanfeng's destroyer, and their quality is guaranteed. They are all big guys weighing more than ten tons, and the warhead alone accounts for half of the total bomb. These three heavy torpedoes are extremely powerful. One shot can severely damage the destroyer and also cause considerable damage to the light cruiser.
It's just that space torpedoes are slow, not flexible enough, and have limited range. They are generally used to attack large, slow-moving targets and space bases. But Chu Jungui has his own way to solve it.
A few days later, the transformation of the Dinner Knife was completed, and three heavy space torpedoes were buried in the belly of the bloated ship. The power of the brand new table knife was greatly increased, and it was no longer appropriate to call it a table knife, so Li Ruobai changed it into a serrated table knife.
When the Sawtooth Dinner Knife left its hiding spot and began searching for the whereabouts of the federal fleet, even Li Ruobai was full of confidence. The confidence does not come from the starship, but from the ground base. Before going into battle, Chu Jungui frantically ordered 50 power furnaces per day for three days. After three days, the energy supply of the two bases will surge by 50 million kilowatts!
Such a huge amount of energy is enough to launch a truly big project. Li Ruobai couldn't wait to know what Chu Jungui planned to do.
The serrated table knife found the federal fleet smoothly. This time the federal fleet was mainly composed of two light cruisers and two destroyers, supplemented by six frigates. Such a fleet is a quite powerful hunting and destroying fleet. Even if it encounters several main squadrons of the Ninth Fleet, they can still fight and retreat.
The Federation fleet still stayed in the middle orbit, but it was 20 kilometers higher than the previous orbit. This can buy the federal fleet a few more seconds of warning time to encircle and annihilate Chu Jungui. Just a few seconds, for an ordinary federal fleet equipped with beam cannons, means a few seconds more time to focus fire. Given this little time, with the firepower of this fleet, the Dinner Knife can be completely evaporated.
In the bridge of one of the light cruisers, Sino sat in front of the huge virtual porthole, sipping black tea and admiring the beautiful and dangerous storm clouds outside the porthole.
The female officer walked in and said: "I just received the latest battle report. I have already conducted a preliminary screening. There are currently 311 valuable battle reports. Please take a look."
Xino opened his personal terminal casually, narrowed his eyes slightly, and countless data flashed faintly in his pupils. It took ten minutes before he opened his eyes.
The female officer asked: "It took you more than 2 seconds to read each battle report this time, which is 33% slower than your normal speed. Did you encounter any problem?"
Sino said: "It seems that the battle situation is not as good as expected. My cute competitors have not taken advantage recently, and one unlucky guy even got eaten by a destroyer. The Ninth Fleet is better than expected. Much more tenacious. Lu Queyun doesn’t seem to be a fool, at least we haven’t been able to find the location of his two mobile bases until now.”
The female officer said: "The battle is fierce, and this is the time to compete for merit. Are we just going to stay here doing nothing?"
"Doing nothing?" Sino smiled and said: "In terms of losses alone, we damaged a light cruiser, which is only a little better than the guy who lost a destroyer. I won't let this grudge go so easily. . In addition, I am also curious about what kind of technology can accurately locate the position in the storm clouds."
"But……"
"That's it. Let's let my cute opponents fight the fleet battle in outer space first. When there is something they can't deal with, it won't be too late for us to take action."
"As you wish, sir." The female officer retreated.
Xino looked at the storm clouds and thought quietly. He liked this way of thinking, which always allowed him to see the essence of things more clearly.
The impact of storm clouds on outer space exceeds 1,000 kilometers, and most of the starship's equipment can operate normally only in high orbit 1,000 kilometers away. Therefore, the vicinity of the storm clouds became a natural hiding place. Sino knew that his opponent must have a hiding place somewhere, but if he wanted to find it through a blanket search, he would have to prepare at least a thousand starships.
But Xino was not in a hurry. Since he couldn't find it, he would wait for his opponent to come by himself. As long as his fleet doesn't leave, sooner or later, that guy will always jump out.
