One Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty One Weaknesses
Ye Han felt bad all over, but after the bombardment ended, he suddenly felt that something was not right.
Upon closer inspection, the front of the enemy ship that was hit by the laser was obviously smaller than the other enemy ships, but there was nothing unusual about the tail.
Looking at other enemy ships, it seems that there are also some size problems, and all enemy ships with the wrong size have been hit by lasers.
Ye Han suddenly realized that it was not that lasers were ineffective, but that aliens had really found a way to deal with lasers!
This is bad. The higher-ups are planning to use super gunboats as their trump card. What the hell are they even using?
The five super gunboats did not rush to break away because the test failed, but continued to fire patiently until the distance between the two sides narrowed to 12,000 kilometers, and the fleet's salvo finally destroyed an enemy ship.
The super gunboat immediately accelerated and evened out the enemy's slightly slower speed.
It takes time for the battleship to accelerate, and the distance between the enemy and ourselves has become closer during this time. When the speed is equal, the distance between the two sides will remain about 10,000 kilometers.
During this process, the super gunboats kept firing. At the beginning, it was a salvo of five ships, or shooting at a target at the same time, then four ships, three ships, and finally it developed into individual fire.
This was obviously a step-by-step test of the power of the super gunship. Ye Han couldn't help but have an idea. If the superiors knew that the super gunship was so ineffective, would they be as depressed as himself?
Of course Ye Han didn't know that the atmosphere in Beiyuezhou was very solemn just now, but after the super gunboat destroyed the enemy ship, Beiyuezhou immediately became much more relaxed.
Twelve thousand kilometers is a bit close, but it is still more than 10,000 kilometers, which is much farther than the range of Xiaoguang.
In other words, even if humans have lost all their capital ships, they can at least use super gunboats to fly kites without annihilating the entire army. Isn't this good news?
There are also super cannons on the moon. The super gunships will be able to destroy enemy ships at 10,000 kilometers. The super cannons on the moon, as well as the space bases equipped with super cannons, will definitely be able to destroy enemy ships at longer distances. This Isn't that good news?
Many people even regretted it deeply, because the coalition command was not monolithic. Some people had always hoped that the fleet could take the initiative to attack and defend the enemy from outside.
They believe that the Turkish foreign fleet is too powerful, and even if the enemy forces approach the earth, it will be extremely dangerous.
This principle is not profound.
Many people know this. The problem is that human beings are too weak. All battleships combined are less than 300, of which capital ships account for more than half, and super gunboats are less than 100.
Judging from the experience of the expeditionary fleet, capital ships do not gain much advantage in confrontation with enemy forces. The result of an entire army attack is likely to be that all the capital ships are annihilated. Can only the super gunboats be left to defend the earth?
It's different when the enemy is closer. Not only is there a fleet waiting for work, but there are also space stations and the moon, and even the earth can provide certain support to the fleet. The intensity of firepower is completely different.
As for the risk caused by the enemy's approach, the mainstream view is that this risk is completely bearable. If you don't believe it, look at the earth. The aliens who landed on the earth have indeed brought endless trouble to mankind. However, since a group of aliens have already landed on the earth, It is not unacceptable to land on the earth and land another batch. It is better than the alien fleet to first kill the human fleet, then the remaining human armed forces, and finally completely exterminate the human race.
This idea is very conservative, but I have to say that there is a reason to be conservative. In most cases, being conservative is not the best choice, but at least it is not a bad choice. Radical often represents accidents, and they are uncontrollable accidents. .
It's a matter of life and death for mankind. Who dares to do anything wrong?
However, conservatives are not really that rigid, so there is a scene where the super gunboat takes the initiative to test.
The super gunboat that completed its exploratory mission did not rush to leave. Instead, it continued to fire at the enemy. This was not to destroy the enemy ship, but to attract the attention of the enemy ship. It was best to attract the enemy to the direction of the moon and use the moon to gradually kill it. The enemy's effective forces should keep the battlefield as far away from the earth as possible.
Ye Han originally planned to wake up two days in advance, just to wait two days before paying attention to the situation on the earth, but he did not expect to encounter such a thing just after waking up. There was no need to wait any longer, and he could just pay attention to the situation of the super gunship.
The Turkish foreign fleet never fired and continued to move forward in silence. This put some pressure on the super gunboats in front. They kept firing in an attempt to kill a few more enemy ships.
The enemy force is strong, it would be better to kill even one more ship.
Over and over again, the aliens finally couldn't bear it anymore. The first few enemy ships suddenly accelerated away from the large force and rushed towards the kite-flying super gunboat.
The super gunboat did not speed up to get away, but aimed its gunfire at these enemy ships - just because it was unable to test its power at closer range, these enemy ships were simply targets.
But how can aliens be so stupid? As soon as these battleships separated from the main force, they released a large number of insect drones. The insect drones that broke away from the battleships spread rapidly, dispersed and rushed towards the gunboats from different directions.
By the time the gunboats have taken out the enemy ships, the insect planes have almost been released.
The speed of the insect aircraft is much faster than that of the enemy ships. The gunboats did not dare to neglect and immediately switched their firepower to eliminate the insect aircraft first.
It is not easy for a gunboat to defeat enemy ships. It is easy to deal with insect drones. A beam of light hits it and immediately clears all the insect drones on the light path. If you sweep it again, you will kill even more insect drones. It is simply stress-free. .
The corner of Ye Han's mouth twitched. This situation was really weird right now - after being in the fleet for so long, he had also developed a good sense.
It's not that the aliens don't want to pursue them, but the alien fleet is in the process of decelerating. When it arrives at the earth, it is just around the earth at the same speed.
If we accelerate the pursuit at this time, it will be too late to slow down again. When it reaches the Earth, it will either pass by or directly hit the Earth. Both of these results are definitely what aliens do not want to see.
If they didn't have such concerns, how could the aliens leave those super gunboats alone? There are thousands or hundreds of warships. Can't they take down a few provocative human warships?
It’s not impossible, it’s just that you can’t!
If those warships had not been killed by the gunboats, the final result would have been to miss the earth and find a way to fly back, which might have been delayed for several months.
This was like a punch to the alien's weak side. Ye Han felt that the alien must be as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
However, the aliens will definitely not sit still and wait for death. They are still two days away from the earth. If the gunboats are ignored, the aliens may still lose many warships.
