There was silence on the second floor of the command hall. Almost subconsciously, everyone looked at Ye Ming nervously again.
Especially the big guys in the country looked stunned.
Since the rice grain design was proposed three years ago, humans have placed high hopes on it.
If the high-dimensional space membrane defense array of the Butian Project is the confidence for human defense, then Mi Li is the confidence for mankind's offense.
As Aita's prompts continued to sound, and as thousands of rays of light continued to pass through the air, the rice grains that had accelerated to 5% of the speed of light were continuously shot down, and one third of them were soon lost.
How could he be intercepted so much?
"Mr. Ye..." General Qin's face was uncertain.
"Well, it looks okay."
Ye Ming looked back at everyone. He knew that it was a bit difficult for everyone here to understand the interception rate of "black technology weapons" like MiLi. Of course, it is also possible that everyone subconsciously associates sub-light speed missiles like MiLi with reality. equate it with the missiles and regard them as invincible - after all, this is what Ye Ming has been instilling in everyone. But as a sub-light speed rail missile, how could it possibly escape the speed of light?
"The enemy uses particle or light speed weapons to intercept." Ye Ming quickly played back the light in the sky before and explained: "But we can see that each of the intercepted rice grains was attacked several times before being intercepted. Shooting down, this means that the enemy's sighting prediction and the coordination of the weapon system are not perfect, and the main thing is to highlight the word "Mongolian".
Everyone was shocked and confused. How could he shoot down so many?
"Moreover, the enemy's technology does not seem to be the kind of BUG-level black technology that transcends theory. They are also affected by the energy storage system - that is to say, overall, the enemy's technology is at the same level as ours. For example, you can see that the interception density has come down now, which means that the first wave of interceptions is about to end."
As if to confirm Ye Ming's words, as the rice grains continued to accelerate, in just a few seconds, the remaining rice grains crossed the sky full of fireworks and headed towards the main force of the enemy ship. During this period, only one rice grain was hit.
Now, there are still fifteen grains of rice left in humanity.
"If this interception rate is maintained in the future, the final survival rate will be about 30%. For a moving target that is one thousandth of the speed of light, the hit rate of rice grains at 10% of the speed of light is 6%. Ten...this means that the rice grains can eventually destroy four to five targets.”
"We still have thirty-six rice grains, and their terminal speed will be faster." Ye Ming tapped the table gently: "Don't forget, for us, it is a consumable. Now it is nothing more than a The consumption cost is a bit high...but the energy consumption cost is, after all, a cost that can be quickly offset by our energy technology."
At this time, Director Niu said thoughtfully: "Mr. Ye, what you mean is that in the field of missiles, not only do we have no generation gap with the enemy, but we are even more advanced?"
Ye Ming smiled and nodded: "I can't speculate on the technology tree of the executor, but at present, it is like this."
At this time, General Arshavin asked: "Then why did the original civilization of Blue Star seem to be destroyed in an instant?"
"Battlefield information." Ye Ming looked at the other party: "You can understand the Blue Stars as Iraq in Operation Desert Storm."
When the word desert storm came out of Ye Ming's mouth, everyone here understood.
"This is a protracted war, and it will not change based on human will." Ye Ming looked at the holographic projection quietly, and after a moment of silence said softly: "So the more we understand the enemy's methods, the better we will be in the future. The war has..."
As he spoke, twenty-three rays of light instantly cut through the sky.
This is, the commanders below are covering for Y18's breakthrough.
The target was the six destroyers that were rapidly approaching the side of the Y18 battleship.
The next second, the light faded.
Three fireworks bloomed quietly in the dark and boundless universe.
Ye Ming stood up instantly!
"Well done!"
…
The command hall was filled with joy.
The depression caused by Mi Li being intercepted was instantly wiped out when three enemy destroyers were directly destroyed.
The commanders, who had first tasted the results of the battle, began to control the collective maneuvers of the spacecraft again - their energy storage was more than half, and according to the plan, they would withdraw from the battlefield when 10% of the energy storage was left.
As long as the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about having no fuel to burn. All you have to do is run around for a few days, and after the energy storage is completed, you will be a hero again, and you can still fight back - this is how the Kerong and Tara people work together.
As long as we can hold the battle line and wait until the human follow-up fleet arrives...
But then, the enemy fleet's second wave of interceptions against Mi Li began.
Looking at the light all over the sky, Yang Wenzhi took a deep breath and drove the spacecraft straight to the direction of the enemy's main fleet without any distractions.
"Man." Yang Wenzhi stared at the target on the left front, looking at the light in the sky as nothing, and said softly: "How about we drop a wave of missiles now?"
"Are you going to throw it away now? Don't you want to fight with the bayonet?"
"I'm worried that the interception on the battleship side is a bit strong, why don't you try it first?"
"Okay, I'll do it first!"
Smil quickly locked onto the destroyers and frigates that were chasing him. After hearing two false alarms, the Zhiyuan's missile bay opened and several air-to-air missiles poured out.
While releasing the missile, Yang Wenzhi unfolded his snake skin and moved accurately to avoid an oncoming main gun. After a moment, he aimed at a large meteorite in front of him.
After communicating efficiently with Aita, he began to accelerate in the direction of the meteorite.
In the battle report, Aita began to report the battle losses.
Compared with the first wave, the second wave's interception of rice grains was not as effective. Only two rice grains were shot down. Now, there are still thirteen rice grains left, which have broken through the interception area of the enemy's forward warship. Ten percent of the speed of light goes straight to the enemy's main fleet.
At this moment, the enemy's volley began.
The huge beam of light from the battleship instantly cut through the sky and landed on the shields of six human battleships.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
After three long seconds, the shields of the two human warships disappeared and then turned into smoke in an instant.
"Brothers, I'm GG, come on."
Listening to the voice of his comrades in the earphones, Yang Wenzhi's heart skipped a beat.
Couldn't the shield stop the enemy's main gun?
But the fighter plane couldn't give him any chance to think, so he turned to the right almost subconsciously!
Fireworks bloomed ahead, and the meteorite he used to block the main gun was instantly penetrated.
The next second, the sound of regretful exit came again from the channel.
Under the continuous output of the enemy's main guns, except for one warship that escaped, a total of five human warships were directly vaporized the moment the shield disappeared.
There was silence throughout the hall.
On the big screen, five light spots disappeared directly from the group of blue signs representing human warships.
This means... In this exchange of battleships, human beings actually suffered a loss.
For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely solemn.
At this moment, Aita's voice sounded.
"Countdown to rice grain attack."
"ten."
"Nine."
"Defense detected."
With Aita's calm voice, everyone, including the commanders who were simultaneously receiving battlefield messages, saw that the main force of the enemy's fleet began to frantically release "small-caliber" firepower. Countless rays of light pierced the sky, blasting the entire fleet. The fleet's figure shone incandescently.
In the light, small red dots representing aircraft also began to pour out of the enemy's mothership.
"Enemy release detected."
"five."
"Four."
During the countdown, fireworks rose one after another, which was the light of the rice grains exploding after being intercepted.
"three."
"two."
"one."
Aita's countdown ends.
A long second is like a century.
But time will pass after all.
Then, under everyone's eyes, three scorching rays of light instantly rose, as dazzling as stars.
"Three targets destroyed, enemy carrier survived."
…
Even through headphones, Yang Wenzhi could clearly hear the thunderous applause and cheers coming from the hall.
Although the attack of the main gun is powerful, human beings... are still far away from the era of giant ship cannons, too long.
Using main guns to attack the enemy was something that happened in the last century, a hundred years ago.
Since mankind entered the missile age, the battleships that have carried countless glory have completely disappeared - no, even after unreasonable things like aircraft carriers came out, battleships, a weapon that represents the most intuitive damage, have become a living target.
Therefore, even though every battleship in the Auriga fleet has a main gun, what everyone is most looking forward to is Mi Li's attack. Because rice grains are currently the most effective means of long-distance strikes for humans. It is precisely because of this that everyone's morale was suddenly reduced when the rice grains were intercepted.
But now... Mi Li's attack is effective, which means that humans will completely take the initiative on the long-distance battlefield.
Well, if the only regret is that the two rice grains attacking the enemy's mothership were intercepted.
Aita's voice came from Yang Wenzhi's headphones.
"Commander, it has been detected that the enemy fleet is performing a turning maneuver, and trajectory prediction has been turned on."
"Commander, an approaching enemy fighter group has been detected."
"Commander, please be aware that you will be in danger."
Listening to Aita's prompts, Yang Wenzhi stared at the mothership that was already one light second away in front of him, with a smile on his lips.
"Aita, activate the front half shield and move forward at full speed towards the intended target."
"receive."
…
On the second floor of the command hall, all the generals stood up and applauded for a long time.
Humanity lost five battleships in exchange for three enemy destroyers and three battleships. This exchange ratio is also something worth celebrating in terms of tonnage alone.
Of course, more importantly, it was verified that the enemy warships were not invincible, and Mi Li's attack was effective!
"The enemy seems to be fleeing?"
After the applause dissipated, everyone sat down again and looked at the trajectory prediction displayed on the projection. General Qin's eyes were burning.
"Well, it seems so." Ye Ming's expression regained his composure. He looked at the enemy's three remaining battleships and the mothership, which were pulling out a large arc, and then nodded gently: "But this is not a good thing."
Someone immediately looked at him: "Why?"
General Qin was startled for a moment but agreed with Ye Ming's statement. He nodded slightly and said slowly: "Indeed, an enemy who knows how to advance and retreat is much more difficult to deal with than a reckless man who only knows how to rush."
Then, following General Qin's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and their eyes fell directly on the Y18 battleship that was rapidly approaching the local mothership.
——At this time, everyone knew that the commander of the ship had named the battleship "Zhiyuan".
Just hearing this name, all the generals in the country knew the commander's plan... and the fate of the ship.
Well... speaking of recklessness, this ship is indeed a bit reckless.
Seeing everyone's expressions, General Qin knew that everyone had misunderstood what he meant. He smiled slightly and waved his hands: "I'm not talking about Y18, I'm just talking about the enemy."
"But Y18 is really lucky and has escaped many attacks."
"Luck is also a type of strength."
"Sometimes battlefield intuition is more important than any high technology, right Mr. Ye?"
Listening to everyone's relaxed chat, Ye Ming also smiled slightly: "Well, I have been listening to their command channel, and the two of them have good ideas."
There is no doubt that Major Yang Wenzhi and Major Smil are rare "test" commanders.
After receiving Ye Ming's advice "Don't be mentally burdened", the two of them tested almost all the limits of the "Eagle" battleship that had never been tried before, such as extreme steering, extreme acceleration, "close" release of traditional missiles, half Turn on the shield and so on.
And now, in the channel, it was heard that the two were discussing the strategy of relying on the shield in front to block frontal attacks, and then releasing super-high-speed air-to-air missiles to destroy enemy fighters.
These are the data and fighting methods that humans urgently need in future space wars.
It is obviously much better to obtain it in the first confrontation without falling behind than to implement it imminently in the future.
After watching for a while, Ye Ming looked up at General Qin: "General Qin, the rice grains of the Ursa Minor Fleet can move."
"Okay! Release them all?"
"Well... I suggest releasing them all, and then the Ursa Minor Fleet will join the Auriga Fleet, and then use support ships to complete the exploration and detector deployment of the entire Auriga galaxy - you see, the enemy has already begun Ultra-remote processing towards our detector."
As he spoke, everyone saw several rays of light heading straight towards the human detector.
"Okay, next, let's look at the Zhiyuan." After Ye Ming finished speaking, his eyes began to stay on the Zhiyuan, and his mind began to count the seconds.
As several rays of light rose, the Zhiyuan successfully launched a controlled intercept missile. A moment later, relying on a speed far exceeding that of a space fighter, it flew into a chicken coop like a big eagle.
After a while, several fireworks went up.
The speed of the Zhiyuan was so fast that these fireworks were like a tribute to him.
"come on!"
Ye Ming's voice sounded on the channel for the first time.
"receive!"
Yang Wenzhi answered in a deep voice, looking closely at the screen.
Gradually, the mothership came closer.
There’s more light.
Facing countless lights, the Zhiyuan was like a sardine with a pot lid on its head, ramming headlong into the mothership that looked like a space city.
"Eat a boatload of me!"
