One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy-Nine Put It Closer and Hit It Again
With unified command, the preparations for war at Base No. 3 have finally achieved initial results, but there is still a lot of follow-up work. In order to adapt to the new position as soon as possible, Duan Zhiyang invested a lot of time and energy. When the Beihai arrived at Base No. 3, he already knew the situation of Base No. 3 and all the warships.
Whether it was tonnage, firepower, armor, power or number of personnel, they were all in Duan Zhiyang's mind, and he knew not only the Chinese warships, but also the warships of the international fleet.
Afterwards, Duan Zhiyang admitted that if it were not for the assistance of biochips, he would never have been able to master all the information in such a short time.
Understanding the situation of the fleet is only the first step. The next step is to formulate various combat plans based on the situation of both sides, how to attack and how to defend, and to negotiate with the international fleet on how to cooperate. The annoying affairs made Duan Zhiyang headache, and he deeply lamented that this position was not easy to sit.
A few days later, Leishan.
The hatch opened, and Ye Han floated into the bridge. Before he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Has it started?"
He Lu replied: "Not yet, the enemy is approaching, it shouldn't take long."
Ye Han sat on the chair and exhaled softly: "Give me the picture."
The screen on the main screen switched, and the starry sky in front was replaced by Base No. 3.
Base No. 3 only occupies a corner of the screen, but it is just a small, dim red light point, surrounded by several smaller points that are even dimmer than Base No. 3, each of which represents a human warship.
On the other side of the screen, a large group of blue light points slowly approached in several directions, and the distance between the light points was very wide.
The human side looked so thin, and was about to be completely submerged by the strong winds and waves rolled up by the alien fleet.
He Lu explained: "This is an image from seventeen minutes ago. Judging from the distance between the enemy and us, we should be in a war now."
Ye Han couldn't help but sigh: "How many enemy ships are there in total?"
"Seventy-seven."
Ye Han's eyes jumped: "So many?"
There are only ten warships in the asteroid belt. Excluding Nanzhou and Leishan, there are only eight ships that have arrived at Base No. 3. The ratio of the number of enemies and us is close to ten to one.
Although the number does not mean anything, the elephant will be killed by the ants, and the human warships belong to two camps. The result of this battle is really hard to say.
On the surface, this battle is Beiyuezhou's initiative to shrink its forces, lead the enemies from all directions to Base No. 3, and take the initiative to fight the enemy, but what is the reality?
Beiyuezhou or the joint command center, they don't want to fight a decisive battle with aliens at all.
But the aliens suddenly appeared from all directions, looking like they would never give up until they achieved their goal, and they were ready to drive humans out of the asteroid belt in one breath. If we don't actively look for opportunities to fight, it will be difficult to fight back once we are driven out of the asteroid belt by the aliens.
More importantly, no one dares to guarantee that the aliens will only occupy the asteroid belt. At present, human warships are either in the asteroid belt or being renovated on the dock. What if the aliens march into the earth in one go?
No matter how you look at it, this battle is inevitable. Instead of passively being beaten, it is better to take the initiative to fight.
At least there is a super cannon at Base No. 3, which is much better than leaving the asteroid belt and relying on warships to fight to the death.
Speaking of which, the aliens are in a hurry. They just launched the attack when several space bases were completed. If they attacked a little earlier and before Base No. 3 built the super cannon, this battle would not have to be fought at all. There is a 99% chance that humans will directly evacuate the asteroid belt.
Of course, it is also possible to send all the warships behind the enemy to stir up trouble and delay the enemy.
While thinking, the main screen was suddenly split into two by a beam of light.
One end of the beam was connected to the No. 3 base, and the other end directly hit the alien fleet, sweeping back and forth like a swinging baseball bat for a few seconds before gradually dissipating.
"It's started!" He Lu and Luo Qi shouted in unison.
Ye Han asked anxiously: "How is the effect? How many enemy ships were killed?"
He Lu's face was not very good,
and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "It seems that no one sank it, but a few were damaged."
"No way?" Ye Han was stunned, and the expressions of others were not much better.
If even the super cannon doesn't work, what's the point of fighting this battle?
"Maybe the distance is too far." He Lu said, "The current distance is 11,000 kilometers."
Ye Han suddenly realized: "No wonder."
The gun at Base No. 3 can't be compared with the moon at all. Not only is it not powerful enough, but its range is also far worse than those guns on the moon. It is less than 10,000 kilometers at most. It is not surprising that it failed to destroy the enemy ship.
Luo Qi asked in confusion: "Isn't it strange to fire before entering the range?"
"It should be a test gun." Ye Han guessed irresponsibly, "It has never been used since it was built, so it's not strange to try it."
Luo Qi didn't say anything, but he really didn't agree with this guess in his heart.
Even if it can't be tested at full power, it's okay to try it at low power, right? Is it necessary to rush to this time?
In fact, Duan Zhiyang's idea is not that complicated. The reason why he fired the gun in advance is that the data on paper is too abstract, and firing a gun is more intuitive; second, it is to test the reaction of the aliens and provide a basis for the next step.
The beam of light fired by the super cannon had not yet dissipated, but the alien warships had already scattered like frightened flies, each warship flying in a different direction. The alien fleet, which had no regular pattern to begin with, became even more chaotic, with no pattern at all to discern.
No rules are the best rules, and they are also the most troublesome results for Duan Zhiyang.
The aliens probably mistakenly thought that the fleet had entered the range of the super cannon, and the scattered enemy ships suddenly accelerated and began to charge towards Base No. 3.
The super cannon fired again, but the result was worse this time. The sweeping beam only hit one enemy ship.
However, due to the closer distance, the power of this shot was greatly enhanced. The enemy ship was half burned black by the beam, but it only burned the surface of the ship, and there was no effect on other aspects.
When the super cannon fired for the third time, the alien fleet had entered the effective range.
The closer the distance, the smaller the space for evasion. The super cannon actually hit four enemy ships at once, but the result was not much different from before. The enemy ships were burned blacker, and there was no sign of damage at all.
Ye Han frowned: "That's not right, why is it still not working?"
"Is it because of insufficient power?" He Lu guessed casually.
"Maybe it's to lure the enemy deep into the depths." Luo Qi also joined in the fun.
There is a nuclear reactor at Base No. 3, so the claim of insufficient power is simply nonsense. However, Luo Qi's guess is somewhat possible... Does Duan Zhiyang really want to let the enemy ships get closer before attacking?
