Chapter 473 The Federation Will Not only Be Beaten
Duke didn't know how many nuclear bombs were equipped on the Federation's mobile fortress, but in the "light curtain" that had just formed, the detection unit of the Sorrow Fortress detected 820 large-yield nuclear explosion reactions, and this was not the end. New nuclear explosion reactions were constantly detected as time went on.
That is, in the process of the "Sky River" released by the "Focusing Rainbow" crossing a distance of 80,000 kilometers to reach the target area, Duke Duke had already figured out the reason for the mobile fortress's move.
And he didn't need to explain anything to Duke William and others, because when this blue-white beam in the "converging irradiation mode" hit the gradually extinguished light curtain and quickly exploded a huge "firework", everyone understood.
In conventional fleet operations, large-yield thermonuclear weapons are used as fleet defense weapons in 90% of cases, and only in very rare cases will they be used directly to attack enemy ships-such as close-range bayonet and boarding.
This is mainly because, before this, it was still difficult for nuclear bombs launched directly to break through the fleet's air defense network. Not all fleet commanders have rich fleet battle experience like Amber, and they also know a lot of "Old Six" tactics developed by players and implemented with missiles or torpedoes.
Therefore, in the hands of most fleet commanders, large-yield thermonuclear weapons are a means of defending against enemy fleet attacks.
After the nuclear bomb explodes in space, the electric field in the explosion area will also be affected by invisible effects to the naked eye-filled with a large number of elementary particles.
The main gun of the "Focusing Rainbow" equipped by the artificial celestial fortress of the Star Dragon Empire, although both the "attack special effects" and the actual power are extremely amazing, is essentially an amplified heavy particle cannon in principle, that is, it is still a directed energy weapon that attacks through charged particles.
Then as long as it is a charged particle, when passing through the area after the nuclear bomb explosion, it will be extremely severely disturbed, and even unable to penetrate.
Even the heavy metal particle jet launched by the ‘Focusing Iris’, whose kinetic energy far exceeded that of the main guns of ordinary warships, was also differentiated when it hit the elementary particle disorder area in front of the federal mobile fortress.
In addition, the control personality of the mobile fortress almost completely predicted the rays of the ‘Focusing Iris’ and allowed the launched thermonuclear weapons to be superimposed and detonated on the path, which resulted in the elementary particle disorder area produced by the nuclear explosion being more than just a thin layer.
In this elementary particle disorder area, the constantly differentiated heavy metal particle jet eventually formed the fireworks that Duke and others saw through optical sensors.
Of course, this does not mean that the attack of the ‘Focusing Iris’ will be so easily intercepted, and the ‘light curtain wall’ formed by the nuclear bomb explosion plays a more weakening role.
After being weakened, the heavy metal particle jet, which was as surging as the Milky Way, still penetrated the elementary particle disorder zone and hit the second wall on the path - the deflection force field.
When the 15-second exposure time ended, the main screen, which had originally lowered the amount of light entering, returned to normal, and the optical sensors of the warships and celestial fortresses also immediately stared at the direction of the mobile fortress.
"The exposure is over!"
"The energy circuit has been cut off, and energy redistribution has begun."
"The Focusing Iris begins to force heat dissipation, the main weapon unit begins self-inspection, and the autonomous detection terminal and manned engineering machinery are dispatched!"
Duke's ears kept hearing the voices of the people in the core command room. Under their orders, the various departments of the Sorrowful Fortress began to check the fortress units that had just completed the main gun firing in accordance with the combat regulations.
However, the imperial duke did not listen to these voices at this time. His eyes were fixed on the picture sent back by the optical sensor, hoping to confirm the effect of the "Focusing Iris" as soon as possible.
When the huge sphere appeared in the middle of the screen, Duke Duke sighed imperceptibly. This round of combat plan to quickly suppress and destroy the mobile fortress failed after all.
Although it can be clearly seen through the optical sensor that a huge "scar" also appeared on the right front hemisphere of the Federation Mobile Fortress, and it looks more serious than the Chaos Fortress where Duke William is.
The internal structure of the irradiated area became fragmented under the ravages of the heavy metal particle jet, and it could not be repaired in a short time, not to mention that it is still in combat.
But no matter what, the Federation's mobile fortress was not directly destroyed after all, which also means that this battle will be dragged into a stage of head-on confrontation between the two sides.
"It seems that the Federation has been swept by the Focusing Rainbow too many times, so it has been swept out of experience?"
Duke William's voice sounded in the communication channel. At this moment, the Duke, who was still in shock and panic, took the lead in adjusting his mentality, and his words also pulled Duke Duke back from a slightly disappointed mood.
Duke: "This is inevitable. After being under the threat of the 'Focusing Rainbow' for a long time, the Federation's command will definitely rack their brains to think of countermeasures, especially when they know that the mobile fortress will be the focus of attack."
"So it is us who hold this indestructible 'weapon' in our hands every day, but ignore the measures that the other side may take"
Duke William listened to the elder's words, and there was a hint of self-mockery in his tone. He paused for a moment and then continued: "If we can take into account the opponent's countermeasures, slow down the rhythm of the attack just now, or trick the opponent into releasing defensive thermonuclear weapons in advance, the situation may be better?"
"That's not necessarily true." Duke Duke shook his head, "This is obviously not an "idea" that the commander of the mobile fortress came up with temporarily, but a complete response plan. Since it is a plan, there must be triggering conditions."
"You mean that you can't deceive the opponent by just relying on "fake moves"?" Duke William asked.
"Eighty percent is true. Judging from the shooting accuracy of the opponent's attack on the Chaos Fortress just now, their fortress control personality is obviously stronger than ours in performance and faster in reaction speed. It can completely detect that the "Focusing Rainbow" has entered an irreversible launch state, and then release nuclear bombs to form a disordered zone of elementary particles."
After listening to Duke Duke's words, Duke William, who had adjusted his mentality, frowned again, and also realized that this battle might not be as simple as he imagined.
He couldn't help but sigh: "It's only been a short time. The Celestial Fortress is no longer a 'winning weapon' that can make the final decision."
"During wartime, this is normal."
Duke calmed down at this time, "Although the opponent in front of us has many problems, it has been competing with us for so many years after all, and is of the same size as the Empire. If the Federation could only passively take a beating, then this war would have ended long ago."
The old duke looked at the obviously frustrated and depressed face of Duke William in the holographic image, and continued: "But fortunately, the opponent has not really formed a climate yet, which is why we must knock down this mobile fortress. What's more, it is a '2V1' situation now, and the advantage is still in our hands."
After that, he drew the command knife at his waist and pointed directly at the enlarged mobile fortress in the center of the panoramic screen.
"Battle group subordinate fleet, start the assault."
