Chapter 378: Flying a Kite at a Distance
After learning about the tragic situation of the Fourth Fleet, the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet immediately accelerated their contact pace and changed their charge formation from a cone formation to a square formation.
The main purpose of doing so is to increase the contact surface and the number of warships in close contact with the enemy, creating an atmosphere of increased firepower confrontation, so that the artificial intelligence will focus on itself and achieve the purpose of sharing the pressure for the Fourth Fleet.
"Di 35 formation, according to the following navigation parameters, work with this ship to change the arrogant warships at the coordinates of XXX, YYY, and ZZZ. The commander has ordered that our Fifth Fleet must adjust the original route and eat a gap in this corner of the artificial intelligence fleet. If we fail to complete the mission, we don’t have to go back!"
"Ship 965 received!"
"Ship 966 received!"
"Ship 967 understands, let us kill this bastard artificial intelligence!"
Because of the different navigation, when the Fourth Fleet passed halfway, the Fifth Fleet also began to exert its strength and rushed towards its target.
At the same time, the Sixth Fleet also began to engage in a distance battle with the artificial intelligence consciousness fleet at another location.
Since the AI fleet is a form of multi-threaded control of all warships by the main consciousness, the formation it sets out is not very wide, from one corner to another, it is about 3 light seconds.
From the outside, it is a spherical formation.
The distance of 3 light seconds means that if the main body of the AI consciousness is located on the warship in the middle, then the delay of controlling the warship at the edge is about 1.5 seconds.
With a delay of less than two seconds, there will be no obvious control delay when fighting at a distance of more than ten seconds, but when both sides get close to fight, when the battlefield is dominated by electromagnetic railguns, the harm of 1.5 seconds of delay will be shown.
Often at certain times, after the AI warships have fired a round of salvos, they need to transmit battlefield information back to the main body for data processing, and then the command data processed by the main body is transmitted back to the warships at the edge.
This makes the AI warships often have a three-second sluggish period occasionally.
After discovering this phenomenon, the fifth and sixth fleets immediately took action and asked observers to observe the artificial intelligence warship formations. Once they found that these formations showed signs of running a set of instructions, they would immediately launch an attack on them.
After this phenomenon occurred, there were obviously many more explosions in the starry sky, and it was obvious that the fifth and sixth fleets had achieved good results.
Coupled with the geographical advantage, the warships of the Nair civilization had more precise strike capabilities. Therefore, after the two fleets officially started fighting, the losses of the artificial intelligence fleet rose sharply.
When the three fleets rushed out from their respective positions, the battle loss ratio between the three fleets of the Nair civilization and the artificial intelligence fleet went from 1 to 2 at the beginning to 1 to 4.
When the three fleets were completely out of the range of the laser cannon energy cannon of the artificial intelligence fleet, the fleet commander made a statistics. In this charge, the three Nair civilization fleets lost a total of 864 warships, and the artificial intelligence fleet also lost nearly 3,400 warships in the process.
Such a battle loss ratio gave the commanders of the three fleets hope of victory.
Because they knew very well that among the coalition fleets, their three fleets had the weakest combat power, and even the weakest of them could achieve such a loss ratio. If it was the turn of the third fleet with No. 1 alloy material as armor, the results would definitely be greater.
Moreover, they heard from the grapevine that the two fleets of mankind were even more amazing. The two fleets of mankind seemed to be equipped with an alloy material that was stronger than the No. 1 alloy they sold at the beginning.
It was said that it was called No. 2 alloy. The commander of the fifth fleet once heard some news about this alloy when he participated in a coalition commander exercise. It was said that even the most powerful electromagnetic railgun armor-piercing projectile could not penetrate that kind of armor.
It was so powerful that it was despairing.
The commander of the fifth fleet really couldn't understand how humans, who were also a second-level civilization, had such a strong material technology.
"Commander, all the warships in my fleet have left the battle!"
"Commander, I found that the artificial intelligence fleet is shrinking its formation. It seems to be aware of the problem of signal delay due to the large distance!"
"Commander, the Fourth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet have sent communications. This is their next formation change and tactical deployment!"
When the commander of the Fifth Fleet was thinking about the human fleet several astronomical units away, the voice from the battleship bridge interrupted his thoughts.
"The artificial intelligence fleet's shrinking formation is within the commander-in-chief's expectations. According to the original plan, our fleet will form a large drum formation and cooperate with the Fourth and Sixth Fleets to open up the distance and start the second phase of the mission, launching a cruising strike tactic against the outer warships of the artificial intelligence fleet!" The commander of the Fifth Fleet vibrated his abdominal vocal organs and gave orders to his fleet.
The three fleets were like three sharp knives, breaking in from the outer edge of the artificial intelligence fleet and then passing through.
Then they made a big turn in space, from the front of the artificial intelligence fleet to the back, and then pinched the distance and bit the ass of the artificial intelligence fleet.
This change made the artificial intelligence consciousness very uncomfortable.
Because the general direction of the AI fleet was heading towards the second planet, the two sides' bows collided at the beginning, but now the tail of our warship has been facing the bow of the other ship.
You know, because the main gun of the warship is too large, the interstellar warship cannot be designed with a turret design like a tank. Instead, a large cannon barrel extends from the ship's body from the bow. Even if it can move, it is at a small angle.
So after the battlefield situation has become like this, if the AI fleet wants to avoid being spanked, it must turn the bow back and fire at the Nair civilization fleet.
However, it is still in battle now. Although the distance has become 12~15 light seconds again, if the warship rolls and turns without any acceleration or deceleration, it will inevitably become a live target for the opponent's laser weapons.
But if it maneuvers horizontally and then turns, it will delay the time to reach the second planet.
The most hateful thing is that after the fourth, fifth, and sixth fleets made a large circle navigation and turn, they also followed the direction of the warship's turn and played the space dive attack.
Warships are not fighter planes, so the so-called dive attack is not a dive from high altitude, but the three fleets formed a big drum, and then the warships outside the big drum rotated to shoot at the artificial intelligence fleet.
After each small fleet fired one or two rounds of salvos, it would change its posture again and turn away from the artificial intelligence fleet, just like the fighter planes after completing the dive bombing.
At this moment, the artificial intelligence fleet seemed to have become a group of fish, and the three fleets were three carnivorous fish, rushing over the outer edge of the fish school and biting the fish school, then turning away, and after swallowing a fish, it turned around again to attack the fish school in the next round.
Arrogance, there is a price to pay.
The artificial intelligence consciousness thought that it could kill the target location as before, but it did not calculate that this time it became a little different.
It was dragged down by this chain tactic.
