Chapter 426 As an Asteroid Mining Base, It Is Normal to Have Decomposition Rays

"The opponent has access to quantum encrypted communication and blue-green lasers. Now the electronic warfare virus attack is not so easy to take effect. We can only try to interfere with their radar. However, after entering the visual engagement range, the radar will be interfered. It won’t have much impact.”

In the core command room of A. Bawa Ku, Guterres frowned as he looked at the approaching combined fleet.

Although the internal communications of the combined fleet have also been subject to certain restrictions, it has not been damaged anyway. The real threat of more than 1,800 warships still exists.

Moreover, the operation to siege the asteroid base is not complicated at all. The opponent's commander only needs to convey simple instructions, direct the fleet to a suitable position and then order the attack. In most cases, the subsequent battles will be carried out by each fleet. discretionary decision.

Guterres also knows that the training level of most of the corporate fleets in these military-industrial complexes is not high. Even if the opponent's fleet commander wants to conduct joint command operations, the following chaotic ships may not be able to complete his instructions. .

Instead of playing some tricks, it would be better to use a 'bastard punch' to get the best effect.

"The shortcomings of low training level and poor joint combat capabilities have caused them to be minimally affected in this case."

Guterres couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. The current situation was still a bit too abstract anyway.

The only good news is that the maneuvering trajectory of the opponent's fleet is indeed the same as predicted before the war. It is trying to avoid the extremely wide and dense asteroid rubble belt and move towards the only 'opening' left in Atlas. .

Thinking of this, the Federation Navy Vice Admiral activated a three-dimensional model of an asteroid base, and then adjusted the angle to show the side where the combined fleet was trying to go around.

On the rock wall covered with dense excavation traces, an 'equilateral triangle' with a side length of 5 kilometers occupies a part of the area somewhat abruptly.

Judging from the alloy background that was revealed before the surface coating treatment, this thing should have just been completed not long ago.

Guterres didn't know what this thing was because Amber and the others didn't reveal much to him and Van Fleet, so he only knew that it should be some kind of weapon of mass destruction.

According to the combat plan, when the combined fleet is forced to go in this direction, it will be attacked by this weapon of mass destruction. At the same time, the three ambushed unmanned fleets will also launch simultaneous attacks, and Guterre Si will also assist with command at this time.

As for Van Fleet, who was born in the Army, he will not be of much use in this kind of space battle for the time being, so Amber's arrangement is that after the asteroid base is invaded under extreme circumstances, Van Fleet will organize the defensive operations.

Although the two knew that the reason why Amber did this was because several of the main commanders of Atlas were on the Pyla 4 side at the moment, so there was a lack of relevant commanders at the A. Bawa Ku asteroid base. The two of them were temporarily brought in for emergency response, but in any case, it is not easy to achieve this level of trust under such circumstances.

"The combined fleet is expected to enter the attack range in one hour and five minutes!" the tactical information coordination officer of the asteroid base reported while displaying a countdown on the screen.

The words of the Tactical Information Coordinator basically illustrate the normal state of current space warfare-the observation distance and the effective strike distance are extremely imbalanced.

In a 'clean' space, both warring parties can detect each other's traces at a distance of more than 100,000 to 200,000 kilometers. If a large fleet forms a network and releases probes to assist in investigation, it can capture traces 350,000 kilometers away. In other words, it is not unusual for the enemy fleet to be close to a light second away.

But at such a distance, as a heavy particle cannon that plays a major role in combat, with an average speed of 3,000 kilometers per second, it takes more than 110 seconds to attack a target 350,000 kilometers away. The attack delay is much higher than in ancient times. Battleships shooting against each other in the ocean are even more exaggerated.

Moreover, there is no "chasing" situation with directed energy weapons. As long as the opponent detects the firing situation in advance, slightly adjusts the trajectory and performs evasive maneuvers, it can easily avoid the heavy particle cannon's fire - this is still Without considering how much lethality the heavy metal particle jet would have left after flying for 350,000 kilometers.

With the current level of human science and technology, the only effective attacks that can be carried out at ultra-long distances are the use of near-light speed weapons such as high-energy lasers and charged particle cannons.

However, the extremely long attack distance also has a huge impact on the accuracy and irradiation power. Not to mention that a very slight change in the ship's attack angle will cause a huge deviation in the irradiation focus. Even if it is a real 'Destiny Gunner', The hit rating is EX, but the effect of the attack may not be satisfactory.

So at least in the world constructed by "Starry Sky OL", both sides in fleet battles in space will start to make tentative maneuvers after discovering each other from a long distance to see if they can obtain a more advantageous attack position. .

After the relatively long maneuvering time is over and the two sides enter the optimal attack range of each other, there will be a duel between the main gun, shield, and armor, and a simple mathematical question about the total power comparison between the two sides will be placed in front of the fleet commander.

Guterres glanced at the positions of the other three Atlas fleets on the star map. They were located in a space 20 minutes away from the asteroid base's jump time.

After seeing this combat deployment before, the Vice Admiral of the Federation Navy had guessed that the identities of these three fleets were most likely the three unmanned fleets that defected on the battlefield.

After all, when it was on Pyra IV before, Atlas' combat fleet basically put on an "ALL IN" attitude.

But now it has not been long since the battle on Pyra IV. This will tell the Vice Admiral of the Navy that Atlas has rubbed out three more fleets in such a short time, and he definitely does not believe it.

Every minute and every second before the formal exchange of fire is extremely tormenting for both sides of the war. Fortunately, more than an hour is not a long time, and after 40 minutes, the joint fleet has adjusted its position and started to approach from two divisions of the celestial sphere at the same time as the pirate fleet.

Soon, the joint fleet began to launch a large number of plasma torpedoes and missiles. These weapons are easy to be intercepted but have to be intercepted at the same time. Although it is generally difficult to achieve great results, they are used to attract the opponent to allocate some directed energy weapons for interception, which can be regarded as completing their mission.

On the A.Bava.Ku side, a large number of missile silos hidden under the rock wall were also opened, and missiles and plasma torpedoes were released one by one like flowers scattered by fairies, and went around the side of the joint fleet along the preset trajectory.

Because in the previous battle of Pella IV, it was through the experiment on Guterres that Atlas's equipment research and development department confirmed one thing, that is, the plasma torpedoes with stealth configuration and wave-absorbing materials have a much higher concealment effect than everyone imagined.

Perhaps because plasma torpedoes are considered a cheap consumable by most people, no one has ever thought about improving the technical level and manufacturing cost of this weapon, which has caused the low versatility of traditional plasma torpedoes for a long time.

But now, after the appearance of plasma torpedoes with stealth configuration and further improved concealment, some new changes have occurred in the use scenarios of this weapon.

At this moment, those more powerful anti-ship missiles are unabashedly rushing to the front, attracting the attention of most air defense ships, and are basically intercepted.

But the stealth plasma torpedoes following behind them at a certain distance maintained a very loose spacing and slowly entered the outer air defense circle of the joint fleet without attracting their attention.

Because most of the air defense commanders were nervously directing the air defense weapon group to deal with the extremely conspicuous anti-ship missiles captured by radar and infrared detection sensors.

And the others on the bridge were attracted by another thing.

In front of the fleet, the abrupt metal triangle on the Atlas asteroid base was slowly opening at this moment.

At the same time, George, the head of the Atlas miners, was nervously sitting in a highly alert space in the core area, with the "core control component" of the large mining and refining core floating behind him.

"Mining Operation Department, decompose the ray generator and start self-checking!"
