The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Chapter 52： Under the melee
Chapter 52 Melee

Why there are so many battleship blueprints available for exchange in the outpost, apart from the joint support of the major forces of the United Human Empire, it is mainly because of the explosion on the battlefield.

The location of the outpost just blocked the expansion of the joint civilization of the Shata tribe. At the beginning of its establishment, it fought many times with the fleet of the joint civilization of the Shata tribe. On the huge battlefield of battleships, as long as an enemy ship is sunk, one or two blueprints will usually pop up, most of which are various weapon accessories, and a very small number are battleship blueprints.

But this very small number is only relative. After a big battle, you can get a few. If you can sink a few battleships, whether it is the X slot main gun or the battleship blueprint is a good thing.

As the core of the battleship, the X-slot super-large main gun has 2 billion particle lances and 4 billion more powerful neutron lances. The blueprints are 200 million and 400 million respectively.

It’s a pity that the battleship’s shield, armor, and hull are too thick. Many shield generators are equipped with shield generators that can restore energy shields during wartime.

Li Min and Li Jia cleaned up the battlefield, and all the gains were recovered with industrial ships.

Li Qing checked them one by one. There are a total of 26 blueprints of weapons and accessories, 5 frigates and 1 destroyer blueprint. Ten times, combined, it can be worth a lot of money.

The blueprints of warships can only be used once, and the combined value is about 20 million.

Compared to the loss, it is considered a blood loss. I can only hope to defeat the opponent and plunder the galaxy.

After clearing up the battlefield, Li Qing ordered the fleet to rest and replenish ammunition, while he himself contacted Ding Youran, ready to cooperate with her.

Suddenly Li Lie’s message popped up, and he said with a serious face:

”Fortunately, the enemy battleship has been sunk.”

Li Qing stood up in surprise, pulled his finger little by little, and a light curtain popped open, showing the battlefield picture from Li Lie, a battleship wreckage that was completely battered by the bombing was floating in the void , blazing flames burned on the wreckage.

”good!”

Li Qing praised:

”Beyond my expectations, this battle is planned for you.”

At this time Li Lie said:

”Although there is no blueprint for the explosive battleship, there is a blueprint for a particle lance and a blueprint for a large armor that can be used 30 times.”

”Okay, let’s go back to the team first.”

Closing off the communication with Li Lie, Li Qing first passed the news to the whole team to boost morale, and then opened the battle details sent by Li Lie, and checked it carefully.

”Which battleship did Li Lie sink?”

Li Qi was stunned for a moment when he received the news, and then a strange feeling emerged in his heart out of thin air, and an inexplicable sense of urgency emerged spontaneously.

Everyone hangs out together, and you suddenly make a great contribution, then I have to make a great contribution too, or I will be inferior in comparison.

Two minutes later, in the bridge, watching the battle of sinking the battleship in fast forward mode, Li Qing had two emotions in his heart.

One feeling is that Li Lie’s innate talent is so explosive.

The second feeling is that space fighters are indeed very restrained large ships. Battleships with super thick shield armor and super firepower have no power to fight back against the sky full of space fighters.

It can be said that, in terms of heads-up, even a hangar destroyer converted from a destroyer can easily kill a battleship with kite tactics as long as it has a sufficient distance.

Battleship main guns have a range of more than 5,000 kilometers, but space fighters often have an effective combat radius of millions of kilometers, which is not at the same level at all.

So converting an aircraft carrier with a cruiser is the most practical way to counter battleships for players without battleships.

Of course, this does not mean that the aircraft carrier is invincible, after all, no fleet is purely composed of battleships.

Generally speaking, a battleship or an aircraft carrier is the main force of a fleet, supported by a large number of **** ships. A large number of frigates equipped with P-slot fire protection are the nemesis of the aircraft carrier. The rate of fire of tens of thousands of bullets per minute is very effective in intercepting space fighters. miraculous.

Not to mention that this modified aircraft carrier itself has no combat effectiveness. Once caught by the enemy, the end will be miserable.

So although the aircraft carrier is powerful, it must be used in conjunction with other warships.

After a short rest, Li Qing led the fleet to approach Yu Youran for support.

After communicating with Yu Youran, the fleet turned a corner on the battlefield and outflanked it from the other direction. Through the reconnaissance screen passed by Li Qi, it happened to be the location of five enemy battleships and two battleship-refitted aircraft carriers. There are nearly a hundred frigates and ten destroyers escorting them.

Observing the enemy’s configuration, Li Qing said to Li Lie:

”You let the fighter planes start to interfere in advance, and we will follow behind.”

This move may cause huge losses to the fighter planes on the two cruiser aircraft carriers, but it is still a good deal compared to the loss of battleships.

The densely packed fighter planes spread out and rushed towards the enemy’s main force cluster more than 30,000 kilometers away. The reconnaissance and early warning aircraft mixed in the fleet transmitted pictures in real time. Multiple enemy space fighters intercepted and were overwhelmed by the fleet on the spot.

Not to mention the quantitative gap of dozens of times, it is the crushing of the fifth-generation machine against the third-generation machine itself.

However, just as the small aircraft group was submerged here, a black mass of space fighters suddenly rose from the direction of the enemy’s main cluster in the distance and greeted them.

As soon as the two sides approached, dense battle information swiped the screen on the spot, and countless data slid across the light screen in front of them like flowing water.

Li Qing stared at the front with expressionless eyes. At this moment, the super innate attributes played a role, allowing him to imprint and memorize the screen-like data in his mind like a machine scan, and then his brain moved at a super fast speed. Turn around and quickly understand the screen-like battle data.

Innate attributes are related to the player’s every move, every word and deed. When the innate attributes are strong enough, they can directly give the player extraordinary abilities beyond ordinary people.

For example, now, Li Qing’s innate memory as high as 32 makes him have a memory ability that exceeds the limit of ordinary people by an order of magnitude. Coupled with the same powerful perception, mind, and spirit, a humanoid robot appears.

Not only can memorize, but also understand these data in an instant.

It took less than a minute for the two huge machine gun battles, and he analyzed the details of the two machine gun battles from the huge data, and roughly simulated the battle situation and results.

The result is of course that they won. One side is the fifth-generation fighter, and the other is only the third generation. How can they win without being crushed in scale and quantity.

In less than 20 minutes, the incoming Shata Civilization fleet became scattered, the number became smaller, and the rout speed was faster.

Ten minutes later, the enemy planes began to withdraw, and Li Lie ordered his own fleet to return, but the main fleet did not advance immediately, but waited for the fleet to return completely, and the rear industrial ships came to replenish the fighters.

The enemy dispatched a total of 2,115 third-generation fighters in the battle just now. Although they were completely suppressed, there were so many fighters after all. Many fighters were sunk in the melee. While sinking more than 1,300 enemy sorties, our own 153 space fighters were also lost.

Including the losses in the previous battle, the total loss is about 400 aircraft, and the battle damage is about 2 billion stars. Compared with the total of about 2,700 space fighters, it accounts for nearly one-seventh, and the combat power is not small. influences.

It was already half an hour after the space fighters were replenished. During this period, he was not idle all the time, but kept sending undamaged space fighters over, not close to the enemy’s main ship group, but between the enemy’s main ship group and the enemy’s main ship group. Between the battlefields on Yu Ran’s side, the aircraft fleet specialized in intercepting the enemy could not support the main battlefield, reducing the pressure on Yu Ran’s side.

After the space fighters were replenished, Li Qing sent a message to Yu Youran:

”I launched an attack on the enemy’s capital fleet in five minutes.”

Yu Youran quickly responded:

”I will cooperate with your attack.”

Close the communication, Li Qing raised his hand and waved:

”Attack.”

The fleet spread out into a wild goose formation and advanced towards the enemy’s main force. Yu Youran immediately ordered to strengthen the offensive to hold down the enemy ships on the main battlefield.

The distance between the two sides quickly approached, and soon it was less than 10,000 kilometers. Li Qing quietly opened the palm universe channel in the center of the fleet, and frigates flew out of it.

These are a batch of frigates built recently. They have been equipped with weapons and accessories, but they have no crew members. They can only compile simple combat procedures by setting up their combat computers. Simple combat plans can be implemented, and too complicated orders cannot be implemented.

At the same time, if the enemy uses electronic jamming equipment, it is easy to affect its combat computer and paralyze it.

All in all, this is pure cannon fodder.

That’s what Li Qing thought, and he ordered the new frigates to run ahead to attract firepower.

When our side gradually entered the range of the main guns of the battleship, there were already nearly a hundred cannon fodder frigates in the front row. With five extremely thick particle light spears piercing the void, the five frigates cannon fodder perished on the spot.

It is definitely not cost-effective for a battleship to fight a frigate, but the shooting angle he left for the five battleships on the opposite side can only attack the front row of cannon fodder, and cannot hit the destroyers or even cruisers behind.

As the fleet moved forward rapidly, the second round of battleship main gun attacks soon ushered in. With the explosion of five fireballs, another five frigates perished.

After a while, ten frigates were destroyed, and the battle damage was as high as 1.5 billion stars.

This is the cruelty of war. Years of hard work are gone in an instant.

And this is just the beginning, the real war has not yet begun.

It was not until the third round of bombardment was over that his fleet brought the enemy’s active **** fleet into attack range. With beams of death beams blasting out, the frigates that were under fire were sunk one after another.

Two minutes later, Li Qing’s fleet was fully engaged with the enemy’s **** fleet, and he immediately ordered Li Lie to release the fleet to interfere with the enemy’s capital ship.

The densely packed aircraft group rushed forward, and the enemy immediately released the remaining aircraft groups to fight with them, and the scuffle instantly entered a white-hot state.

Li Qing stood expressionlessly in the center of the bridge. There were more than a dozen light curtains floating on the huge bridge in front of him, each representing a different battlefield. His powerful innate attributes allowed him to fully grasp these dozens of light curtains even without the assistance of a staff officer. Everything on the battlefield, completely control the situation of the battle.

Although the losses were huge, most of them were cannon fodder, and the main force was largely intact. In his opinion, there was hope of winning the situation.

Facts are as he expected. After paying the loss of more than 200 space fighters, their aircraft fleet abruptly defeated the remaining enemy aircraft fleet. At this time, the huge aircraft fleet has encircled and interfered five battleships and two battleship aircraft carriers.

Although there are a few main battleships that can’t be helped at the moment, the attack frequency of the five battleships has been greatly reduced under the interference, supporting the main battlefield in disguise.

About 20 minutes later, the enemy **** fleet was gradually defeated with more than half of the losses, approaching the capital ship in an attempt to rendezvous.

Of course Li Qing would not let them go as they wished, the whole army pressed on and stalked, especially the few remaining destroyers. The frigates could escape, but the destroyers could not.

”Boom!”

A thick pillar of azure blue light pierced through the void, hitting a battleship of the United Civilization of the Shata Tribe, and the huge energy impact caused a large crater in the center of the battleship’s shield to sink.

He hasn’t completely settled on his side yet, on the other side Yu Youran has already defeated the enemy’s main force, chasing after the defeated soldiers.

The four high-end battleships opened fire in unison. The neutron lance, which is one level more powerful than the particle lance, can easily destroy any warship below the destroyer.

Before, the Shata civilization could rely on five battleships to fight against two aircraft carriers. After Li Qing entered the field and cut off the connection between the large army and the main group, how could the front row resist the concentrated fire bombardment of the four battleships.

The next step was to beat the dog in the water. Li Qing’s fleet and Yu Youran’s fleet joined forces to pursue, taking the opportunity to pick up some bargains from behind.

In the communication channel, Yu Youran rarely showed a smile on her face. She looked at Li Qing with her charming phoenix eyes, and said:

”You played an important role in this battle. You can share 25% of the spoils of enemy battleships that are sunk later.”

Li Qing smiled and cupped his hands:

”Then I will not be polite.”

”This is what you deserve.”

The victory over a strong enemy, and the good news from other small and medium battlefields indicated that they had won this battle. This made Yu Youran feel good, and for the first time, she took the initiative to chat with him.

In Li Qing’s previous impression, this beautiful woman from the Ding family in Jinzhong Province was quite aloof, except that she had a better relationship with Yu Yuefei, who was a woman, and rarely communicated with the rest of the team, usually mostly alone .

After some exchanges, it can be seen that her aloofness is not pretending, and her personality is indeed of the type that does not like to talk, which does not match her charming appearance and tall and hot figure at all.

This is not to say that she recognized Li Qing’s strength, but that in her eyes, Li Qing’s evaluation changed from average to fair.

After all, the opponent assigned to Li Qing in the battle just now was not very strong. It is normal to win, and if you lose, it is a proper waste.

After chatting for a while, news of victory came from other battlefields one after another. They have also sunk a battleship and converted a battleship to an aircraft carrier. There is still no blueprint for a battleship, but there are many other accessories. Paper is treated with three generations of large lasers 30 times.

In addition, the main enemy fleet on the other side of the main battlefield has also fallen into a disadvantage, but it is still there and is still resisting tenaciously.
