Eight Hundred and Ten, After All the Hardships Come Happiness

The power of the Hidden Sword missile cannot reach the level of destroying the entire ship. The damage range can reach one-tenth of that of the alien warship, which is considered a high price. Moreover, the degree of damage of the shock wave completely depends on the specific hit location.

Any ship whose stern is hit by a missile will have its power system fatally damaged and turn into space junk without the ability to move. Even if there is still a little power left, it will not be able to drive the huge warship.

The situation of hitting the belly of the ship is a little better, but there is not much power left. At most, it will fly slowly like a turtle crawling... Well, such an enemy ship is an excellent living target.

Being hit by a missile on the bow of the ship is equally fatal. If it hits the lower part of the bow, most of the weapons on the ship will immediately become ineffective, and it will immediately become an undefended living target, and the only thing left is to run away.

The hit above the bow of the ship, that is, the forehead of the ship, was even more serious. The entire battleship's control system was instantly severely damaged. The power system and weapon system were obviously intact, but the battleship just couldn't move.

The middle part of the battleship was not much better. The waist structure connecting the past and the future was damaged, and the battleship could be broken if not careful.

Although the situation is very miserable, nothing can be seen for the time being from those alien battleships that were hit by only one missile. However, one unlucky battleship was hit by two missiles in the forehead and lower abdomen respectively. Perhaps the superposition of shock waves caused an increase in power. This huge hole almost turned the battleship into an S shape, and it looked extremely miserable.

Ye Han witnessed this scene with his own eyes, but his first reaction was to rub his eyes subconsciously. When he saw that the picture on the screen was still the same, he immediately clenched his fists in excitement.

Some of the soldiers were stunned, some were surprised, and some were in disbelief. However, in the blink of an eye, all emotions were replaced by ecstasy. Although the battle was not over yet, everyone's emotions were relatively restrained, but the joy from the heart could not come. A little false.

Most of the members of the Third Fleet had participated in the Second Expedition, and both officers and soldiers had personally experienced the direct confrontation between the two fleets.

Judging from the previous confrontations between the two sides, the advantage has always been on the side of humans, and publicity to the people has tried their best to amplify this point. However, for those who have experienced it, the advantage of humans has to be discounted.

Humanity's advantage is not fake, but anyone familiar with previous battles knows that the advantages of the human fleet are all achieved by nuclear weapons. Without nuclear weapons as the backbone, humans are definitely no match for the alien fleet!

Ordinary people's first reaction when they learn about this situation is probably to use nuclear weapons to kill them. However, the militaries of various countries will never think so, including the two major military groups of China and the United States.

why? Quite simply, because I can’t afford it!

It looks funny, but actually it's not funny at all, but very serious.

The charges of atomic bombs are uranium and plutonium. The content of uranium in the earth's crust is higher than silver, but there are very few formed deposits, and extraction is very troublesome. Uranium-235, which can be used to make nuclear weapons, only accounts for 0.72% of natural uranium!

The quantity of this thing is small and it is troublesome to extract. Before the insect disaster, the price was comparable to gold. After the insect disaster, the price soared, making it much more expensive than gold.

Plutonium is an artificial element produced in nuclear reactors. It is much more expensive than uranium. The price of one gram of plutonium-239 is close to 30,000 yuan. Regardless of gold and platinum, all gold and platinum have to be put aside.

This does not include the cost of other materials and technologies. If all costs are included, the manufacturing cost of an atomic bomb is well over 100 million!

An atomic bomb costs one to two hundred million yuan. Using an atomic bomb to hit an alien warship is dozens or hundreds of times more luxurious than using gold to hit an alien, and it is not certain whether it can hit it.

Not to mention the hydrogen bomb. One gram of tritium gas costs US$30,000, which is several times that of an atomic bomb. If the cost of raw materials had not dropped significantly after marching to the moon, no fleet would be able to afford it.

Nuclear weapons are good, but using them to hit aliens costs more money than money. For every fleet expedition, the cost just for nuclear weapons is an astronomical figure.

After several consecutive battles, both China and the United States have used up to 70% of their nuclear material reserves.

Even if Beijing and Washington ignore the cost, they cannot use nuclear weapons on a large scale as they did in the past.

Except for nuclear weapons, the combat performance of other weapons equipped by humans is not very good. Therefore, various countries have recently invested a lot of manpower and material resources, hoping to find a new weapon that can deal with alien warships.

This matter has never been a secret within the fleet. All officers and soldiers who know a little bit about the inside story are looking forward to the performance of the new missiles. Now that the Hidden Sword missile has destroyed more than 30 enemy ships in one fell swoop, its significance is not only the immediate result, but also more important. I found a new weapon to deal with alien battleships!

The entire Third Fleet was excited because of the performance of the new weapons. On the contrary, the aliens they were facing were at a low ebb. The advancing fleet suddenly came to a sudden halt.

Losing more than thirty battleships in the blink of an eye is nothing, but humans clearly did not use stellar weapons, which dumbfounded the aliens. Many aliens thought that humans used a new type of stellar weapon, and did not understand this. The characteristics of this weapon could not risk impacting the human fleet before.

The aliens thought well, but the Third Fleet had just tasted the sweetness, how could they just stop?

Excited Ling Yu gave an order, and the fleet changed from retreat to advance, taking the initiative to attack the alien fleet.

The alien fleet had already begun to retreat, and all the ice ships turned around at the same time, preparing to withdraw to Jupiter. But the aliens didn't notice that the structural strength of the warships was damaged at all, and they used the normal speed and overload to turn. How could the more than 30 ice ships that were hit withstand such a toss? They were broken and damaged immediately, and some couldn't move at all. All the ice ships that were hit died on the spot.

The aliens were just dumbfounded just now, but this time they were completely confused. No alien understood what happened.

However, only the warships were lost, and few aliens in the ship were injured. They quickly flew away from the damaged warships, and the nearby ice ships immediately flew over to support them. A life-and-death rescue was about to take place.

Ling Yu's eyebrows immediately raised: "Laser cannon, shoot hard!" His parents died tragically in the mouth of the giant insect. He has always remembered this account on the aliens. If he finally encounters the opportunity for revenge, it would be strange if he would let the aliens have their way!

If the distance was not too far and only the laser cannon's range was enough, he would never use the useless laser to deal with the enemy.

However, whether it is useless or not depends on the target. Lasers can't do anything to alien warships, but using high-power lasers to deal with lone aliens is the same as using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Which alien can be safe and sound in a high-energy laser?
