One Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety-Five Super Bug Cannon
After the meeting, the scattered Beiyuezhou fleet immediately approached the Jizhou. Except for a few warships that were carrying out the interception mission and led a few transport ships to leave, the remaining warships all headed towards the inner layer of Jupiter.
The situation of the international fleet was the same. After Huo Qiang made up his mind, he discussed with Halsey for a while. Both of them understood the seriousness of the situation, so they quickly reached an agreement, so the international fleet also sent several warships to carry out the interception mission.
Ye Han was unwilling to fight with the large force and wanted to fight for the interception mission.
Although the interception mission seemed more dangerous than attacking the inner layer of Jupiter, the attack was a fight to the death, and the interception was a guerrilla war. In comparison, the latter was safer, at least it didn't have to fight head-on with the alien fleet.
His little calculation was good, but Huo Qiang didn't think so. When selecting people, he kicked Ye Han aside and only selected a few frigates.
Now Ye Han was depressed. Leishan was a heavy destroyer. It would be strange if Huo Qiang was willing to give the task to Leishan.
Although the plan was set, neither interception nor attack could be accomplished by just talking. The main force must first fly from the outer layer to the inner layer, and the interception must first accelerate away from Jupiter.
The newly formed interception fleet immediately separated from the main force and accelerated to the predetermined interception location, while the main force of the fleet changed direction and flew directly to the inner layer of Jupiter.
Four days later, the international fleet rushed to the vicinity of Callisto. Halsey did not wait for the Jizhou fleet to arrive and took the lead in launching an attack on Callisto.
The first step of the attack was to approach Callisto, but as soon as the international fleet's formation was deployed, amazing changes occurred on Callisto - countless light insects climbed onto the ground, one by one, one squeezed together, densely packed together, all the insects' butts were all facing the sky, forming an alien version of a super artillery array.
None of the human officers and soldiers who saw this scene were not annoyed. The aliens learned whatever they saw useful, and they really carried out the spirit of copycat to the end.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the international fleet involuntarily turned to the Jizhou fleet.
In their impression, the mysterious Eastern country is also a master of copycats, but they don't know which side is better, the human copycat or the alien copycat.
At this time, the light bugs showed the results of their pre-war training. They moved very fast. After a while, the mountain and sea of worms that emerged from the ground stopped wriggling, and countless butts pointed to the sky, and they were actually lined up quite neatly.
Ye Han couldn't count how many light bugs there were, but he had another way, which was to draw a small piece on the screen first. The area of this small piece was about one percent of the area of the entire artillery array.
According to the calculation of the supercomputer, there were 3214 light bugs in this small piece. In other words, the artillery array on Callisto consisted of more than 300,000 light bugs.
Ye Han couldn't help but be amazed. The super cannon with a smaller area did not have more than 300,000 launchers. The aliens really spent a lot of money to copy the super cannon!
The status of light insects in the alien army is equivalent to the status of artillery in the human army. Usually, the aliens do not raise so many light insects at all. Now that they can produce so many light insects, it must be that the aliens have deliberately consumed resources to cultivate them in order to deal with the human fleet from afar.
The aliens have so many resources. After creating so many light insects, the resources used for enemy soldiers and other directions must be reduced. From this perspective, more light insects may not be a bad thing.
Ye Han was thinking about it. The international fleet had already engaged in a firefight with the super light insect cannon. First, the international fleet launched a batch of missiles at Callisto. Before the missiles flew close to Callisto, the light insects on the ground had received the order. More than 300,000 light insects raised their buttocks at the same time, and countless thin lights gathered together to form a thick light column that rushed straight into the sky.
The international fleet was well prepared. The distance between the warships was very wide. If the charging warships were regarded as the tactics of charging, then the formation of the fleet must be the most classic skirmish line. Even if the light column hit the fleet, there would not be too much loss.
The beam of light instantly penetrated the fleet.
Only one warship was hit by the beam of light. Everyone was nervous, but when the beam of light dispersed, the warship inside was fine.
At this time, Ye Han thought of another problem, which was the coordination problem between the light insects.
The human super cannon controls the direction and shooting time through electronic programs. When firing, each laser is almost activated at the same time, so that the firepower can be concentrated to the maximum extent, and the power is not discounted.
But the aliens are different. The insects are independent individuals. No matter how the aliens give orders, the giant insects cannot be completely consistent. There must be a large launch error between the insects, which will directly affect the range and power of the super insect cannon.
The result of the first confrontation was not bad. At least there was no loss on the side. Halsey was very happy, but he did not let this scene go to his head. He ordered the fleet to slow down and launch a batch of missiles at Callisto.
At present, the straight-line distance between the two sides is still more than 30,000 kilometers. No one knows when to step into the effective range of the super fine light. It is okay to be cautious, and it is even better to bombard with missiles.
Probably because they found that the super-fine light could not do anything to human warships, the aliens simply used all the fine light for anti-missile defense. Now, with so many light insects working together to counter the missile, the missile had no chance to fall to the ground. The last missile was destroyed by the light insects when it was still thousands of kilometers away from Callisto.
Missiles didn't work, so the international fleet immediately changed to artillery shells, firing electromagnetic shells and ordinary shells together, and bringing a few missiles in the middle to attract hatred. Everyone hoped that the aliens would focus on the missiles, so that the shells would have a chance to hit the target. As long as a few nuclear bombs hit the insect cannon, it would be equivalent to stripping away the biggest support of Callisto.
The battle was lively here, and the Jizhou fleet also rushed to the end of the field. At Huo Qiang's order, the Jizhou fleet immediately joined the battle.
The original plan discussed by Huo Qiang and Halsey was that the two fleets would attack Ganymede and Callisto separately. Later, they were worried about insufficient strength, and because there were many enemy ships, they were worried that the retreat would be cut off when attacking Ganymede. The two people discussed it and finally simply joined forces to attack Callisto with all their strength.
The enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon, so it is better to go all out than to attack separately, and take down a satellite first.
After several rounds of firepower tests, the international fleet calculated that the effective range of Xiguang was about 20,000 kilometers. The news reached the Jizhou fleet, which immediately caused an uproar.
Twenty thousand kilometers is certainly not as good as a super cannon, but appearing at this critical juncture, it definitely has the ability to influence the outcome of the battle. Without solving the super light array, it will be impossible to capture Callisto. The most urgent task is to blow up the super light array first!
