Ye Han couldn't help but suddenly realized that the aliens' back-up force was here. According to this theory, the light bugs were actually decoys sent by the aliens. The purpose was to lure the human fleet to the vicinity of Callisto and then release the insect drones. Let's use a machine sea tactic. Please search for the most complete view!

Luo Qi was stunned: "Are there a lot of light bugs here? How many resources are needed to feed so many bugs?"
"No matter how many battleships there are, it's still cost-effective." Ye Han couldn't help but curse: "This is trying to compare quantity with quality. His grandma's and dog's are really willing to give up!"
Everyone invariably thought about the scene of insect drones besieging the battleship. Luo Qi said: "How many insect drones can an alien battleship carry?"
Seeing that Ye Han had no intention of speaking, He Lu whispered: "If there is not one thousand, there is eight hundred, just a lot more."
The gap between bug machines and alien battleships, like fighter jets and space battleships.
How much does a space battleship cost? Calculated based on the pre-war currency value, the cost of the Leishan was approximately 60 billion, and it was the result of large-scale production that reduced the cost.
This is just a heavy destroyer. The cost of an aerospace carrier is four to five times that of a destroyer, which is maintained at around 300 billion. And it is only the cost of the mothership itself, not including the aircraft on the ship.
The cost of building air and space fighters is much lower, with a cost price of just over 400 million. In other words, one heavy destroyer is only equivalent to 150 air and space fighters...
Of course, this pairing is just for the convenience of calculation. The wartime system greatly reduced manufacturing costs. Whether it is battleships or fighter planes, the actual cost is not that much. Otherwise, Beidu would have gone bankrupt long ago, and it would be impossible to fight like it is now. It is impossible to continue to build warships until now.
In fact, after excluding the bonuses in various aspects such as technology and labor, it is absolutely no problem to build a thousand fighter jets with the resources to produce one warship, and there is still a surplus.
Talking about aliens on the other hand, aliens are not as dependent on minerals as humans. No matter what they build, the cost is much lower than humans. They can almost replace the insect machine with the weight of the alien battleship.
From this perspective, He Lu's calculations are definitely not exaggerated, but rather conservative.
After listening to this, Luo Qi muttered: "A ship of eight hundred and ten and a ship of eight thousand,
One hundred ships is 80,000... Oh my god! "He can't figure it out at all.
Ten thousand people, boundless, the overwhelming number of insect machines swarming towards the international fleet, definitely more than 100,000 or 80,000.
Thinking that these insect machines were only equivalent to more than a hundred alien warships, Luo Qi felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.
Others are not much better. The international fleet only has a total of more than 80 warships. On average, each warship can be assigned a thousand or hundreds of insect drones.
"Can this battle still be fought?" Luo Qi said blankly.
"It's hard to say." Ye Han frowned, "We have to see how to fight."
After he said this, he stopped talking. Everyone else also fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to the battlefield.
The insect swarm flew out from behind Callisto, and then dispersed as it flew, gradually dividing into nine groups, each group corresponding to an aircraft carrier battle group.
At present, the number of the insect swarm and the international fleet is more than 10,000, but insect planes continue to fly out from behind Callisto, constantly strengthening the strength of the insect swarm.
After the insect planes were divided into nine groups, they did not rush in swarm, but continued to disperse during the flight, and finally turned into a group of several hundred, rushing towards the target from different directions, approaching multiple points to attack on multiple lines.
What surprised Ye Han even more was that each worm machine was dispersed rather than clustered together. It is conceivable that if it encounters a counterattack by an international fleet, this formation can minimize casualties.
The tactics of the insect machine reminded Ye Han of a skirmisher line...well, an empty skirmisher line!
The movements of the insect drones were not very fast, but there was a certain distance between them and the international fleet, so they completed all the planned tactics very calmly. At this time, the insect drone that had made the most progress still had a distance of 10,000 kilometers from the human warship.
Facing the menacing swarm of insects, Halsey decisively ordered the fleet to avoid it, and all battle horses stayed away from Callisto to delay the encounter between the two sides.
At the same time, Halsey ordered each battle group to open fire with all their strength, doing their best to weaken the swarm.
After receiving the order, each battle group immediately launched missiles at the insect swarm they were facing. Then they adjusted the attitude of the warships, and sprayed super shotguns all over their heads and faces.
Ye Han didn't find it strange at all. Although the concept of super shotguns originated from Leishan, both Beiyuezhou and the International Base were very concerned about the situation in the asteroid belt. They discovered that Leishan used debris clouds and then developed super shotguns. No wonder.
Besides, although there are conflicts between the Northern Capital and Washington, their positions on the issue of aliens are highly consistent. Even if the International Fleet does not take this matter to heart, the Northern Capital will take the initiative to provide - as long as the aliens can be dealt with, no matter how high the price is If it can withstand it, what does a new weapon mean?
The shotgun is commonly known as a sprayer. The super shotgun it fires can be called a super sprayer. Countless steel balls hit the incoming insect machine head-on.
After a period of flight, the missile entered the range of the insect machine first, but in a short moment, the originally silent insect machine suddenly opened fire, and countless fine lights blocked the missile's path. The battlefield was almost filled with crisscrossing fine lights. The vast amount of fine lights surrounded the insect swarm like an iron barrel, cutting the incoming missiles one by one, and then cutting them into pieces, not giving the missiles any chance to detonate.
When some missiles were cut by the fine light, the fuel exploded. Some exploded instantly, and some burst into a fierce flame, but more were silent and turned into a pile of useless fragments silently.
Just as the first round of missiles was intercepted, the first round of shotguns also arrived, and the style of the insect swarm suddenly changed. The insect machines that were originally charging headlong became a mess, flying out various dazzling maneuvering trajectories, trying their best to avoid the incoming steel balls.
It is not realistic to intercept the steel balls at all, and you can only try your best to avoid them by high-speed maneuvers.
In order to reduce the chance of being hit, all the Zergs were maneuvering in a way that faced the human fleet directly, and no Zerg exposed its side that was more likely to be hit.
This scene reminded Ye Han of the original Star Field No. 5. That was the first time that the Leishan faced Zergs. No matter what, he never expected that Zergs could actually fly under the debris cloud and pass through it directly.
However, the power of super shotgun shells is directly related to speed. The debris cloud at the beginning came from artillery shells, and the steel ball cloud today comes from electromagnetic guns. The speed of these two weapons is not at the same level at all. The Zerg can avoid artillery shell fragments, but cannot avoid super shotgun shells. This has been proven in previous battles.
