Chapter 567 Cleves: I Have an Idea!

"Where to use it. Good question."

Stoner was not surprised by Major General Mueller's question, because this was indeed an issue he was struggling with.

The power of the proton annihilation bomb is so powerful that even the artificial celestial fortress of the Star Dragon Empire cannot face the attack of this strategic weapon.

Therefore, Major General Stoner can be 100% sure that as long as this strategic weapon hits the opponent's fleet, it will cause extremely impressive results - especially since the opponent is now on the defensive and has adopted a relatively tight box formation to allow the proton annihilation bomb to Can cause sufficient killing effect.

However, the damage range of this weapon is limited after all. At present, the Atlas Combat Fleet has adopted a strategy of dividing its forces. Major General Stoner, who only has the authority to launch one proton annihilation bomb, must choose the target to attack.

"I will attack the fleet that has just arrived at the bottom of the sky." Major General Stoner quickly made a decision.

"The frontal enemy seems to be firm and stable, but in fact it is at the end of its war effort. After the addition of the Fourteenth Fleet, we have a total of five fleets attacking, and the opponent cannot resist it no matter what.

Therefore, the real threat to us is the new force of Atlas that has just arrived on the battlefield. Since no matter what the enemy is, "all living beings are equal" in front of the proton annihilation bomb, then it is obviously used to attack this unscrupulous force. What loss of fleet would be more appropriate! "

Regarding Major General Stoner's decision, no one else raised any objections after his explanation, because theoretically there was no problem with his decision.

The core of fleet warfare, or annihilation warfare, is always to eliminate more of the enemy's effective forces.

From this point of view, the fleet commander definitely cannot 'save the remaining blood for the big recruitment', but should use his most powerful attack method to kill the most enemies.

Another reason why Stoner targeted the Atlas First Fleet was that he suspected that the 'Boss' of the Atlas Group, Amber, who had stirred up the situation of the Federation to this point, had There is a very high possibility that he will take command of this fleet.

Because according to the information compiled by the intelligence department, this ‘Boss’ of Atlas has maintained the habit of sitting on the scene and taking the lead in almost all important battles of the Atlas Group.

Therefore, in this battle that will determine the future direction of the situation, Major General Stoner feels that Amber will definitely be at the scene as before, and the opponent's fleet that has just launched an attack from the bottom of the sky is the most suitable 'position'.

Major General Stoner: "If. I mean if, the opponent's 'Boss' is in the fleet at the bottom of the sky, and we successfully detonated the proton annihilation bomb."

"Then the opponent suffered more than just losses on the fleet!" Benelli immediately understood what Stoner meant, and the eyes of the other two fleet commanders also lit up after hearing this sentence.

They know very well that if they successfully 'kill the bandit leader' in this battle, it will definitely be a heavenly achievement. It is not an exaggeration to say that they will 'support the building from falling'.

Mueller: "I have no objection to the commander-in-chief's decision!"

Barak: "Please give the order, Commander-in-Chief!"

Seeing that the other three people had no objections, Major General Stoner no longer hesitated and ordered directly: "Give me the order, 'Lighthouse', to start carrying out the mission of guiding the proton annihilation bomb to attack! Please pay attention to the nearby warships to cover it!"

Soon, a heavy cruiser in the Federation fleet broke away from the bombardment array and quickly reached a position below the fleet formation but still under heavy protection.

At the same time, some kind of guidance equipment equipped with it was turned on under the control of the operator, and then pointed the guidance signal to the Atlas First Fleet in the direction of the bottom of the sky.

The Dawn, equipped with a new comprehensive detection module, quickly discovered this unknown signal. When the shipboard controller analyzed that this was a kind of guidance signal, and the guidance location was exactly the first battle fleet, Amber first Time reacted.

"Fuck! It should be the new jump-type proton annihilation bomb developed by the Federation! This guidance signal is the induction beacon for remote guidance!"

Cliffs: "Is it the one that the Federation used to attack the Empire's Celestial Fortress Battle Group?" "Yes, yes, that's right, it's no different from putting a grenade directly into the enemy's mouth." Amber nodded seriously. , "It's just that I really didn't expect that the Federation would be willing to use this strategic weapon on us."

Cliffs: "The Federation may not have thought of using it on us before, but after the situation in the Lubion Galaxy suddenly changed, they had to consider using this thing to 'finalize the deal' in the armed conflict with us."

Although the Federation had used this improved proton annihilation bomb before, Amber and the others, with the help of Lilith, quickly figured out the general principle of this thing - put a shell on the proton annihilation bomb and installed a large Power thrusters and jump drives.

But when thinking about countermeasures, everyone discovered that this thing was not as easy to deal with as imagined.

The proton annihilation bomb itself is extremely lethal, and the time from detonation to causing annihilation damage is extremely short. If placed at the right location, it can destroy several fleets in minutes. Under normal circumstances, as long as the annihilation reaction occurs, it will be completely unable to react. come over.

The reason why the Federation has not used this kind of strategic weapon to attack the fleet before is simply because there is no suitable delivery method, and it is difficult to intercept it if it flies straight over. Secondly, because the output and inventory are not large. Generally reluctant to use it.

But now is obviously not the time to be reluctant, and after the research on miniaturization of the jump engine has achieved initial results, the proton annihilation bomb that jumps into the field under the guidance of the induction beacon can be said to have finally completed the "last mile".

In this case, Amber and his team found that the difficulty of interception can surpass all previous weapons.

Because after having the ability to jump, the landing point of the proton annihilation bomb is almost certain to be near the target of attack, and it is "exploded as soon as it lands" with almost no delay.

So if the proton annihilation bomb completes the jump, there is basically no possibility of interception. This also leads to the only way to avoid attack - interfere with the opponent's guidance, so that the proton annihilation bomb cannot complete the high-precision jump.

In this way, even if the opponent controls this weapon to forcibly jump according to the coordinates, it will not fall directly into the fleet formation, and it can still give the fleet a chance for "terminal interception".

And in the current scenario, Amber and his team have to find a way to destroy the "guide ship" inside the federal fleet.

"The super-heavy purification beam generator of the Dawn can penetrate the enemy fleet and perform long-distance 'sniping' if it uses convergent irradiation. We have elf technicians on board, and it is not difficult to do this if they operate it personally."

Amber first thought of the main gun of the super flagship under his feet. After all, in his memory, the super-heavy purification beam generator of the elves was often used for long-distance sniping.

However, a countdown quickly displayed by the shipboard control personality immediately made him give up this idea.

"It will take another 30 minutes to launch again? But I guess we may not have that much time."

Amber said with a bit of a smile, and then he looked at the others on the bridge, including Cliffs: "Do you have any ideas?"

Everyone exchanged glances, and then quickly focused on Cliffs, and as Amber's eyes swept over, Cliffs also said helplessly:

"I do have an idea, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

Amber waved her hand: "Cliffs, don't talk about it at this time, just say it directly, as long as it can solve the problem, you can let me break the formation alone~"

"Then Boss, why don't you try it?"
