Voyage of the Stars

More than 3,000 ships of the Second Squadron of the Interstellar Trading Market were destroyed by humans in one encounter, but for that huge number, it was only a drop in the bucket.

But this was only the beginning. As the fleets from both sides continued to approach, the larger fighting surface became larger, and the casualties also increased.

The advantages of nanotechnology can be seen by humans in battles, and naturally the interstellar trading market has also seen it. Because of this, they really did not expect humans to dare to engage in close combat with them.

They thought that the human warships would, like before, start to change formations after entering a distance of about twenty light seconds, and engage in long-distance shooting with them. It was this concept that allowed them to move forward bravely in the face of the human fleet. During the charge, there was a trace of chaos.

So much so that before the leading warship could react, it was killed by the human warship and turned upside down.

Ahem. It's not that people are on their backs. The actual situation is that the two sides are silently shooting at each other. It can be seen from the perspective of the detectors that were launched in advance and distributed in or around the battlefield.

After the fleets of both sides entered the effective range of each other in the starry sky, the laser energy cannons of the warships began to roar, and invisible lasers shot towards their respective targets at unpredictable speeds.

If special effects were used to reveal the traces of these laser energy cannons, then the scene now would be the scene of a criss-cross battle of light beams between two fleets in the Stars game in human imagination.

As time went by, the warships of both sides finally came close to the distance where the electromagnetic railgun could easily hit, and the battlefield situation changed again.

I saw electromagnetic railgun shells carrying ultra-micro nanorobots fired from the huge muzzles. They crossed the empty starry sky and plunged towards their respective target battleships.

The electromagnetic railgun is a kinetic energy weapon. In the face of this kind of weapon, whether it is a magnetic field shield or a polarization shield, there is no ability to block it in the slightest.

Ever since, the battlefield finally entered a white-hot stage.

"Alert, rail gun shells found, quantity: 6629785! Distance: 185,000 kilometers, 197,000 kilometers, 149,000 kilometers. Corresponding coordinates: XXXX/YYY/ZZZZ"

"The close-in defense gun system is ready. The automatic radar locking process is started. The 45th Battleship Group is ready to intercept. The 596th Battleship Group is ready to intercept."

"Feedback: Our fleet's first and fourth electromagnetic railguns fired freely, with a total of 5.8 million railgun shells. The number of successfully concentrated targets was 0.1%, all of which had the effect of penetrating armor."

"Alert! The armor of the 198th ship is damaged! Warning! The armor of the 156th ship is damaged! The armor of the 779th ship is damaged. The defense mechanism is activated! The damaged target location has been determined, and the nano repair system has been activated!"

"The nano-repair robot swarm has arrived at the marked location. Alarm. The nano-repair robot is experiencing trauma! A supplementary request has been sent to the control center!"

"Request approved!"

"Replenishing!"

"Alert! It is detected that the armor alloy is decomposed. The second nanometer repair channel is being opened!"

"Nano repair in progress!"

"Repairing!"

"Repair completed!"

"System prompt: This nano-repair consumes 77% of the inventory and the ship's nano-repair robot replenishment program has been started!"

As the progress progressed, the competition between nanotechnology was officially launched. Just like the first contact before, the human No. 2 armor was once again decomposed by the opponent's ultra-micro nanorobots, but this metal alloy also lived up to its powerful name. No., the ultra-micro nanorobots in the interstellar trading market can decompose it, but the progress is more than a hundred times slower than decomposing conventional metals.

During its decomposition process, it also encountered counterattacks from human micro-nanobots.

In the confrontation between the two sides at the micro-technical level, the interstellar trading market obviously has the upper hand, but the armor technology of the human warships is more powerful, so much so that not a single electromagnetic railgun on the interstellar trading market side can break through the close-range anti-gun defense circle and can penetrate the armor. .

In other words, the nano-robots in the electromagnetic railgun that hit the human warships need to start eating the human warships from the surface armor, which gives the human nano-repair robots time to react.

Although the battleship that was hit finally looked like a battle damage, at least it was not taken away by a wave.

It can be said that due to the existence of powerful armor, as long as the human warship is not concentrated by the electromagnetic railguns of dozens or hundreds of nanorobot warheads at the same time, or the nanorepair robots carried by the warship itself are not exhausted, those attached to it can be finally eliminated. Nanobots on the surface of a battleship.

The powerful performance of Armor No. 2 once again shocked the interstellar trading market. They did not expect that this metal alloy could not only withstand the destruction of countless laser energy cannons, but also have such strong impact resistance. Nanobots are also so tough when it comes to disintegration.

In fact, when the performance indicators of No. 2 Alloy were obtained, many senior executives in the interstellar trading market did not believe it. Even most of their scientists said that it was impossible for a third-level civilization to be able to produce such performance. alloy.

However, the fact of this close combat told them that human's 2-return alloy technology is really that powerful.

On the contrary, when facing the electromagnetic railgun of the human miniature nanorobot warhead, the armor of the warship on the interstellar trading market appears to be extremely inferior.

Their armor was almost always easily penetrated by human electromagnetic railguns as long as the angle of incidence was not too large. Then the battleship that had its armor penetrated faced the internal disintegration of human micro nanorobots.

Of course, this interior is not the real core interior of the battleship, but a sandwich between the outer armor and the inner armor.

The armor of a warship in the interstellar trading market also adopts a multi-layered layout. This layout can be very effective in defending against the electromagnetic railgun of the hydrogen bomb warhead, so that the warhead of the secondary explosion will not detonate the core of the warship all at once.

Likewise, this layout of armor is also very effective in preventing nanoweapons. But after all, it is already an inner layer of armor. As long as human nano-weapons stay here for a certain period of time, they can break down a large hole and then enter the inner layer of the battleship to destroy the battleship's circuits and cause various circuit failures on the battleship.

During the battle, those warships that suddenly stopped and became motionless were the masterpieces of nano-weapons.

The fierce battle has caused battle losses to rise linearly. You must know that the close combat encounter between the two sides is not only a battle at the nano level, laser energy weapons are also used in close combat.

Invisible vertical and horizontal beams of light lit up enemy or our warships one by one. This scene was like two groups of fireflies intersecting in the night sky.

The polarizing shield was lower than the light of the laser energy weapon, which illuminated the starry sky where both sides were fighting. Of course, the light that illuminated the battlefield was also indispensable from the final brilliance of the battleship explosion.

Due to the lack of deceleration, the speed of human warships has been increased to 34% of the speed of light when fighting the opponent's squadron, and it continues to increase as time goes by. Facing the same oncoming squadron at such a speed, the battle between the two sides actually did not last long.

When the human Lyra battleship cluster successfully penetrated the interstellar trading market squadron, the opponent's other two fleets did not even have time to converge, so the three-sided attack strategy failed.

And this confrontation, like two cavalry clashing, also caused the Tianqin battleship group to lose 567,377 battleships.

As for the interstellar trading market, the losses were even greater. The number of warships in their squadron dropped sharply from 4 million to 1,100,087.

From this round of fighting, it can be seen that to eliminate one human warship, the interstellar trading market side needs to pay 5.1 warships.

With nanotechnology lagging behind, the human fleet's performance in close combat was not entirely due to the strength of No. 2 alloy armor, but also to the overall control of strong artificial intelligence and the opportunities provided by the interstellar trading market itself.
