Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

"The forward formation is divided into ten groups, and they go out for reconnaissance in turn, taking turns to test the opponent's parameters."

At this moment, this 'strong general', who was regarded as the number one thug by Su Wenyi, was calmly making tactical arrangements that were inconsistent with the image of a strong general.

“Start with the first and second formations, make contact at high speed, don’t get into a fight, and see if these guys have mid-range phalanx or point defense weapons;

Three or four formations carry out long-distance bombardment, trying to force out any shields or charged armor these guys may have! "

...Well, New Jersey doesn’t rely on recklessness to earn a living.

She did not look down upon the other party just because the mysterious out-of-control AI fleet only had four ships.

On the contrary, she actually always puts herself in a 'disadvantage' position:

This place is already very far away from the core star field of the empire. Even if there is a second wave of support, it will be difficult to reach it for a while.

What's more, after deploying more than 300 warships, the mainland has no maneuvering power.

She could not receive any additional reinforcements except by using the Home Defense Fleet.

In contrast, although this hyperspace channel is remote, it is still within the scope of the Sea Venus Star Domain.

Judging from the posture of the four mysterious warships when they appeared, it is very likely that the other party has the ability to provide follow-up reinforcements - when they appeared, they did not look like they had experienced long-distance voyages.

The hull is bright and new, and the energy is very abundant.

Anyone who has encountered a battle along the way will never be like this.

...Judging from the situation in the Haijin Star Territory, if the port where they set sail is far away from here, they will inevitably encounter battles - after all, no local force other than AI can coexist with out-of-control omnics. They cannot It is possible to travel across an entire sector without encountering any combat.

therefore.

In New Jersey's view.

It is very likely that there is a port for out-of-control omnics near this hyperspace channel.

At the very least, it should be a docking place that can accommodate a certain number of ships.

Or a star gate or the like, a terminal of some kind of 'fast transmission channel'.

Because of this, she actually felt a lot of pressure:

No matter what, you should be lenient to your enemies.

Our side cannot get more support, but the other side cannot say whether there will be reinforcements or how much there will be.

In this situation...

Regardless of the military strength she possesses, it is far superior to these four mysterious warships.

The numerical advantage of 320 to 4 was enough to overwhelm the latter's several deadly 'large anti-neutron beams'.

But if these out-of-control omnics were to attack people from the outside, it’s hard to say which side would have the numerical advantage!

Thinking of this, New Jersey couldn't help but feel a little tricky:

'It's really troublesome, but the battlefield is in hyperspace...'

'There's no way to use a space trap in a ghost place like this! '

..

In hyperspace, it is naturally impossible to use the space trap.

This is not a physical universe.

The main reason why it is called 'hyperspace' is its unique multi-layered overlapping phase space characteristics.

In this kind of place, it is difficult for a simple space trap to have the same blocking effect as in the material universe:

——One layer is blocked, what about the other layers?

The multi-phase spaces in hyperspace can overlap each other, but the blocking effect of the space trap cannot be overlapped through the deployment of multiple units.

...If it were really so easy to interfere with hyperspace, there wouldn't be so many civilizations that would be so afraid of hyperspace storms.

Unable to determine the complete strength ratio between the two sides, New Jersey chose the safest plan:

Since the opponent's armor, shields, and other subsystems are obviously not at a low technical level, it is impossible to use the T3 and T4 level 'old equipment' of active warships to sweep them out...

Then we have to test it one after another.

Try to get a feel for the opponent's base by striking out frequently and multiple times.

It is impossible to rashly bet on the entire fleet without understanding the specific parameters of the opponent.

As her order came.

A total of forty "Cloud Sea" and "Hurricane" ships moved forward, drawing a sensitive arc at a super-high speed that was almost the same as that of the opponent - as if they were using a massive celestial body to shoot a "gravitational slingshot". A volley fired at the top of the parabola at extremely close range.

Then it quickly changed direction in the opposite direction, and then quickly pulled away at the top of the arc, the shortest distance between the two sides.

In an instant, countless blue phase lasers and pale white anti-neutron beams passed by each other, flickering on and off like broken laser lights on a disco dance floor.

Many of those terrifying anti-neutron beams hit the relatively large hull of the 'Hurricane'.

But it was blocked by the large barrier shield that suddenly lit up on the latter's body - it could only be said that it was barely blocked. The dim light of the hit part of the shield clearly showed that the impact it received was extremely serious...

...Thankfully it's an energy shield.

If it is a particle shield, especially the rather bizarre one that some civilizations like to use, which uses a 'heavy pseudo-steel shield' composed of certain highly condensed heavy element particles.

So this time, it is estimated that the annihilation reaction of positive and negative neutrons has been triggered.

The entire ship had to be blown to pieces by the horrific explosion caused by the huge amount of pure energy released by the annihilation reaction.

'...'

Whether it was New Jersey who came to the front line to command in person, or Su Wen and others who were remotely controlled from behind, they couldn't help but feel relieved:

Since the large barrier shield can withstand it, it means that the opponent's anti-neutron beam is not very powerful and the amount of anti-neutrons released is not large.

Moreover, there is no special upgrade, it is just the simplest anti-neutron.

——Antineutrons are particles, but antineutron beams, as particle jet weapons, do not have strong kinetic energy that can greatly target energy shields like other similar weapons.

in contrast,

Due to the characteristic of 'an annihilation reaction will be induced when encountering the same kind of anomalous particles'.

It is actually a 'high explosive type weapon'.

Not only anti-neutrons, but also anti-protons, positrons, and the like, most anti-matter weapons are "high-explosive weapons" fired in the form of "sub-light particle jets".

The annihilation reaction is particularly effective against any type of physical armor.

But when it comes to energy shields, it is relatively weak - antimatter is not easy to store, so it cannot be easily accelerated to ultra-high sublight speeds in the cyclotron of a naval gun like other particles.

Compared with normal particle cannons, particle cannons that use anti-particles are equipped with specially-made cyclotrons or centrifugal accelerators.

It can accommodate antiparticles and perform repeated rotational acceleration, but it cannot accommodate a particularly large number in one go.

Otherwise, the volume of the cyclotron will be extremely large - to accelerate normal particles and antiparticles of the same molar mass, the latter requires an accelerator volume that is almost fifty times larger than the former.

What's more, the accelerator is not able to make it come out of the chamber at a high speed like normal particles with "high quality, high quantity and high speed".

It is necessary to carry out an additional period of 'directional force field constraint' before launching, so as to avoid losing the constraint and blowing up one's own ship to pieces as soon as it is released...

...Even 'the constraint field strength is too small' will not work, it must be completely constrained.

After all, we have to consider the accidental damage of a friendly fleet.

Reality is not a video game either.

There is no such thing as "a click of the mouse will save you from harm".

If a complete constraint field of sufficient strength is not prepared, and if the antiparticle beam is allowed to break away within the range,

Friendly ships that are within the ray range of this ship and approach this anti-particle beam will suffer.

...In order to avoid insufficient restraint strength, the volume of the force field constraint device cannot be reduced;

Without cutting it, the cyclotron becomes smaller.

If not, I'm afraid I would have to change to a battleship to be able to afford such a large turret.

...All of these are the difficulties in applying this cutting-edge particle physics technology to the field of shipborne weapons.

There are difficulties in various aspects.

So we had to reduce the number of antiparticles in a single ray.

therefore.

To an outsider, the appearance of the anti-neutron beam looks particularly weak.

It is weak because the 'particle concentration per unit volume' is not high enough.

At the very least, it is far less concentrated than normal weapons such as 'proton rays' and 'particle spears'.

This makes it look particularly hazy, like a mist.

It doesn't look like a normal beam at all.

And this kind of emptiness leads to the situation where antiparticles are 'insufficient in number' and 'insufficient in speed'.

It cannot produce the same terrifying shield-breaking kinetic energy as a normal particle light spear.

——In the field of particle weapons, there is an essential difference between the 'high-explosive' type of lethality and the 'kinetic energy' type of lethality.

happen.

The empire has made great achievements in energy weapons.

And the performance of the energy shield is also exceptionally good.

"...Fortunately, there are still fights."

New Jersey breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the large barrier shield resist an anti-neutron beam.

As long as the shield can hold it, it's easy to handle.

If the opponent doesn't have a way to quickly break the shield, she can tentatively send some additional formations to try to encircle and annihilate them with a strength advantage.

Defeat them one by one.

otherwise...

If the shield cannot withstand it.

The power of the anti-neutron beam is enough to easily tear the armor and hull of the 'Unkai' and 'Hurricane' classes into pieces.

These battleships were originally designed to deal with enemies of the same level.

The situation of using T4 medium armor to withstand the bombardment of large T6 anti-neutron beam main guns has not been considered at all.

With their small bodies, if the shield really breaks...

If you touch it, you will die, if you rub it, you will be disabled.

In this case, gathering in a sea of ​​people is simply courting death.

Fortunately the situation did not deteriorate to this point.

...but.

After seeing clearly that the phase laser fired by our side landed on the mysterious battleship,

Behind the light blue hexagonal grids lit up on the opponent's ship armor.

New Jersey’s face still doesn’t look good:

'Hell, it's really rechargeable armor! '
