Chapter 569: Desperate Assault

Battle in the space near Rubion V.

The unmanned fleet of the Atlas Group stood firm like an indestructible steel defense line under the fierce attack of the Federal Navy.

Although ships were constantly destroyed by enemy fire, their positions were quickly filled by their companions in the rear. The formation of the entire fleet was not disordered at all, and it always maintained a strong combat effectiveness.

At the core of the fleet formation, the unmanned battleship "Moonlight Goddess" carrying the commander-in-chief of the unmanned fleet, the commanding artificial intelligence "Selene", was processing all the battle information quickly and meticulously.

For her, the fierce battle outside the battleship was nothing more than a piece of information that flashed quickly in front of her eyes.

After these information were quickly classified, the whole battle appeared in front of Selene as a constantly changing and updated table - this was the brain supplement of Amber, Dr. Mephisto and others based on the perspective of carbon-based creatures.

However, for Selene, commanding the fleet is like constantly "doing questions".

She has real-time updated information from both sides of the battle in front of her, and what she has to do is to compare the situations of both sides, find the "optimal solution" and then issue a command to the unmanned fleet.

In addition, although Lilith reset and unlocked their "emotional modules", according to the settings of this "mistress" (the honorific title of Lilith within the unmanned fleet), all artificial intelligences under the Atlas Group, whether they are high-level shipborne control personalities or command-type artificial intelligences, will temporarily take the "emotional modules" offline after entering combat status.

So at this time, whether it is Selene, Hecate, or the unmanned fleet in the battle, they are all coldly issuing and executing orders.

The loss of the surrounding fleets will not shake their minds at all, but will turn into a "weak point" in the defense line, and will be quickly filled by other warships under Selene's command.

When she and Hecate received the order "Boss starts the assault, other units provide fire cover", this commanding artificial intelligence quickly began to find the optimal solution to "this problem".

"The first priority is to interfere with the enemy fleet through fleet firepower to cover the Boss to complete the assault"

"The real-time status of the warring parties is imported."

"Begin analysis."

"Under infrared imaging, the enemy fleet has too high a temperature at the bow, and it is suspected that the main gun has entered the extreme state after continuous firing. According to the judgment, the enemy fleet will have an 80% probability of suspending the main gun firing and a 20% probability of forced heat dissipation through liquid helium spraying"

"Based on this condition, multiple results are obtained, and the optimal result is being deduced. The deduction has been completed and will be converted into an order."

Within a few seconds after receiving the order, Selene completed the judgment of the current situation and made the "optimal solution".

Soon, the surviving warships of the two unmanned fleets, whose bow main guns had just fired multiple rounds and were somewhat red under high temperatures, were suddenly forced to dissipate heat by the liquid helium ejected by the cooling system. The main gun acceleration channel made of nano-memory metal also began to rapidly reorganize the lattice after the temperature dropped.

Since the liquid helium and other coolants carried by the warships are limited, and each time emergency cooling is performed, a huge amount of coolant is required, so the fleet commander will generally be cautious to "hold" the forced cooling, and regard it as a kind of bottom-up means.

But Selene's way of thinking is obviously different from that of humans. She is result-oriented with the current highest priority order. After realizing that the salvo of the federal fleet may be suspended, she chose to force the fleet to cool down the main guns without hesitation.

The federal fleet naturally noticed the movement of the unmanned fleet quickly. After all, the large amount of fog formed when the liquid helium is rapidly cooled is very conspicuous, not to mention the simultaneous actions of the entire fleet.

But even if they discovered this, they were still a step late.

Because Selene has once again commanded the unmanned fleet to start a new round of salvos.

Although the forced heat dissipation of liquid helium and other coolants is only an emergency measure for the main guns of the battleships, even after the cooling is completed, at most two or three rounds of salvos must be stopped to prevent the acceleration track from melting.     Even so, this unconventional salvo still caught the federal fleet off guard.

Especially the two rounds of salvos by the unmanned fleet focused the attack on the bottom of the formation of the federal fleet. After the warships that were preparing to intercept Amber and others, Amber and others who were breaking through suddenly felt the pressure greatly reduced.

"Lilith, you did a good job! These command-type artificial intelligences have a strong ability to grasp timing."

In the cockpit of the super-heavy HCP 'ATLAS modified' that had been upgraded again, Amber, who was firmly fixed in the driver's seat, looked at the federal fleet that was beaten into chaos in front of him, and couldn't help but praise.

In the previous life in the game, he always stood in a similar perspective to the federal fleet at this moment, accepting the ravages of the unmanned fleet.

It is a very pleasant thing to be able to watch such an attack as an ally or "owner" of the unmanned fleet.

Although there is an old saying that "blackening is three times stronger, whitening is three times weaker", this sentence obviously cannot be applied to Lilith and the unmanned fleet.

For Amber, they were indeed cleansed in this life, and joined the team, but their potential and combat effectiveness were not weakened at all, and were even stronger than when they were "blackened" in their previous life.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master~"

After hearing Amber's words, Lilith's tail behind her in the image of a little devil was directly raised to the sky, but she continued to remind:

"But Master, the unmanned fleet can only provide so much cover. Although it has caused some confusion to the federal fleet, their anti-aircraft firepower is still a threat."

"It's okay. The number of unmanned fleets is limited. It's enough to do this step." Amber shook her head, and then continued: "In the battle sequence of Atlas, it's not only the unmanned fleet that can fight."

As his voice fell, more and more heavy armored combat boats caught up near the "ATLAS Kai" that was advancing at high speed.

They are also the few units in the entire space battle sequence that can directly catch up with the "ATLAS Kai" in "cruise mode".

The First Fleet carried more than 700 heavy armored battleships in total, and now these heavy-armored high-speed predators were directly arranged in two "box formations", passing from the left and right sides of Amber, and pushed forward all the way under the salvo of heavy particle cannons.

The anti-aircraft destroyers, frigates and HCPs outside the formation of the Federal Fleet could not withstand this kind of "space queuing and shooting" style of play.

And those other warships that adjusted their axes and intended to use their main guns to strafe would also be immediately attacked by these battleships after their actions were discovered.

As for the Federal HCPs that surrounded them from both sides and intended to attack these heavy armored battleships from the flank, they were quickly intercepted by the HCPs carried by the battleships.

From the perspective of God, the nadir direction of the Federal Fleet seemed to be rushing towards them with a meteor shower.

With this "meteor shower", there were continuous explosions of fire, and every time they advanced a certain distance, the distance of the "meteor shower" would be less, but this could not stop the advancement of this "meteor shower".

There was no way to stop the brightest "meteor" from flying straight towards the "Lighthouse" heavy cruiser that was performing guidance operations.
