Chapter 385: Lure the Enemy Deep Into the Territory

After receiving the order, the Second Fleet quickly found an opportunity to break away from the pulling queue. Under the strong thrust of heavy nuclear fusion and the pulse propulsion of cold nuclear fusion, 1,250 warships made a big turn in space and rushed towards the second planet.

The artificial intelligence consciousness body obviously noticed the departure of the Second Fleet, but it didn't seem to care. Its large fleet was still pulling with the First and Third Fleets of the Allied Forces.

It thinks that the Second Fleet is the same as the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Fleets before. Although the combat effectiveness of a single ship is stronger than its own, it can only achieve a one-to-four combat loss at most.

And the Second Fleet has only 1,250 warships. If it fights hard, it can only kill more than 5,000 warships of its own squadron at most.

Now there are almost 9,000 warships in its own squadron. 5,000 warships are divided to deal with the Second Fleet, and 4,000 warships are used to attack the Second Planet. It can be dealt with completely.

When the Second Fleet is destroyed or defeated, the 32,000 warships of its main fleet can be divided into two, one part for supply and the other part for continued involvement. After the rotation of supplies is completed, it can use the advantage of numbers to rush and pursue the two fleets that are like loaches.

In short, in its calculations, it has the advantage in this war and it is impossible to fail.

In fact, the best action for artificial intelligence consciousness is to lead its own large fleet to chase the second fleet and prevent it from harassing its landing combat fleet safely.

However, the results calculated from the data obtained from the database do not support it to do so, so it missed an opportunity to reduce losses.

Of course, in order to hide its strength, the second fleet led by Manyuemei did not carry out a surprise attack after arriving near the artificial intelligence fleet, but followed Yue Yuan's instructions and harassed it remotely at a distance of about 15 light seconds.

The purpose is very simple, that is, to prevent this fleet controlled by the combat AI program from putting all its warships into the orbital bombing of the planet's surface turrets.

It is easy to say that it is easy to divert operations, but it is not easy to do it in reality.

First of all, it is reflected in keeping distance. Since the maneuverability of the warships of both sides is not that different, under normal circumstances, if you want to keep a distance to attack, as long as the opponent is determined to rush over, it will get closer and closer due to its maneuverability, and finally enter the efficient attack range of the electromagnetic railgun, thus triggering a fierce battle.

However, the coalition forces obviously know the weakness of the artificial intelligence fleet, that is, its warship cluster cannot be too far away from its command ship, because if it is too far away, the communication delay will inevitably become very large. In that case, those warships that cannot be controlled in time will become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered at will.

The combat AI program created by the artificial intelligence consciousness is obviously responsible for the capture of the second planet, so its command ship must be in low-Earth orbit.

In this way, it gives Manyuemei a good opportunity. She can unscrupulously let the fleet harass the landing fleet from a distance. If a large number of warships of the opponent chase over, then slightly open the distance. If they follow again, they can fight back.

The fish on the chopping board is not cut in vain.

However, the combat AI program of the artificial intelligence consciousness obviously did not give her this opportunity. It just let some warships turn their guns in the near-Earth orbit and conduct long-range fire with the second fleet.

Anyone who knows a little about military affairs knows that the combat AI's behavior is completely wrong, because what it faces is equivalent to fighting on two fronts.

But in its calculations, it is taken for granted.

Because from the data obtained from the current situation, it judges that if it fires at the second fleet on one side and continues to carry out orbital bombing on the surface of the planet on the other side, the final result has a probability of more than 90% that it will successfully eliminate the defense forces on the ground and then complete the task set by the artificial intelligence consciousness.

As for its own losses, it is nothing to the combat AI program, and it is nothing in the calculation of the artificial intelligence consciousness. After all, as long as it occupies the second planet, it can continuously produce more warships through the resources on it.

Its reaction is exactly what the second fleet wants, because as long as there is no close combat, the second fleet is not afraid of revealing its true strength.

And the most important thing is that at a distance of 10 to 15 light seconds, the laser energy cannon caliber of the artificial intelligence fleet is completely impossible to burn through the armor of the second fleet.

The positron cannon that can cause direct damage to the armor of the second fleet can be completely ignored because of the existence of the magnetic field shield, so it can be said that Manyuemei's harassment operation this time is just like shooting.

So, a space bombardment battle began.

Judging from the battle between the second fleet and the artificial intelligence landing combat fleet, this battle method seems to have returned to the first-level civilization.

Both sides are predicting and shooting at the opponent from a distance.

The combat AI modules of both sides have obviously become the busiest part of this battle. Oh, the busiest on the human fleet, there are also a group of fire control hands.

They are the loudest on the bridge of each battleship. Every time the laser energy cannon hits the opponent's battleship, it will cause a burst of ostentatious laughter.

The atmosphere is quite joyful.

As for the other warships in the second fleet that were not equipped with laser energy main guns, they were even more idle. These warships only had to do one thing, that is, to follow the entire fleet in formation and circle around, anyway, they didn't need to shoot.

So after the harassment battle began, the two warships in the second fleet whose main guns were electromagnetic rail guns and positron guns were just playing soy sauce. The warships equipped with positron guns were okay, and they would occasionally fire a few shots symbolically, but the warships equipped with electromagnetic rail guns were really playing soy sauce. The captains and crews on them were so bored that they turned on the video communication of friendly warships to observe the battle process of the laser energy main gun warships.

Whenever they saw the shooting miss the target, they still had the leisure to jokingly mock the fire control operators on those warships.

In general, since the warships of the coalition fleet were divided into three types, the intensity of this harassment operation was not high, far from the landing operation on the other side.

However, the artificial intelligence fleet had to allocate some warships to deal with them, otherwise it would not be a long-range shooting, but a real attack on a standing target.

The harassment battle lasted for more than ten days.

After more than ten days, the result of the battle was the same as the calculation of the artificial intelligence consciousness. Its squadron successfully destroyed all ground defense turrets and successfully landed.

However, the squadron also paid a great price. Out of 10,000 warships, only more than 4,000 are left.

Nearly half of the warships were destroyed in this battle, of which about 4,000 were destroyed by various ground defense weapons in low-Earth orbit. The harassment battle of the Second Fleet was not much, only a few hundred ships.

However, they themselves had zero casualties.

The result that none of the warships of the Second Fleet were destroyed was predicted by the Allied Forces Command when they set out. After all, it was a harassment battle. With the strong defense of human warships, it would be an accident if there were losses.

And such a result, the Allied Forces Command believed that it should not expose the true combat effectiveness of the Second Fleet. The reason is that at such a distance, theoretically, the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Fleets may also maintain casualties of less than 100 warships.

Therefore, the result of zero casualties, the artificial intelligence consciousness body is likely to think that the Second Fleet is more elite, and the main attack direction of the landing fleet is landing operations.

The existence of this artificial intelligence consciousness has great defects. Although it has the powerful explosive force and tactical coordination ability of mechanical civilization, it has only one main consciousness. It cannot unscrupulously dispatch countless fleets for ultra-long-range pursuit like those artificial intelligences that can copy themselves and enslave their own copies.

Such defects have been fully utilized by the coalition headquarters, so there are all kinds of consumption tactics.

After receiving the news of the fall of the second planet, Yue Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the coalition, pondered for a while and asked the communicator to send the second and third fleets to start the next plan.

The loss of the second planet means that the artificial intelligence consciousness will soon have sufficient supplies. With supplies, it means that it will be able to explode troops here.

So what the coalition has to do next is not to fight a protracted war, but to solve the artificial intelligence consciousness as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it drags on, the artificial intelligence consciousness fleet will only become more and more.

However, the number of warships in the AI ​​fleet is still quite large. From the war damage data, the coalition headquarters roughly calculated that its main fleet still has about 32,000 ships, and there are about 4,000 warships parked and landed in the orbit of the second planet.

Add up to 36,000 ships.

Compared with the nearly 50,000 ships when it was just launched, it is much less.

However, compared with the three complete fleets of the coalition, it is still ten times more.

In the face of the huge number gap, Yue Yuan does not want to take risks, nor does he want to cause too much loss to humans, so even if he can win by concentrating the power of the three fleets, he does not want to fight in this starry sky.

Therefore, the second battlefield plan continues, and the problem is how to lure the current AI fleet to the second battlefield.

The previous plan was to let the returning fourth, fifth, and sixth fleets charge again, then pretend to fail, and then drag the first, second, and third fleets to the second battlefield together.

However, some unexpected changes occurred in the first phase of the battle. The Fourth Fleet was gone, and the Fifth and Sixth Fleets suffered heavy losses. They have now fled to the planetary base on the other side of the red dwarf for corrections, and are obviously not suitable to be pulled out to perform missions again.
