Five hundred and twenty-four outpost (middle)
The fierce battle has begun.
The first to attack was the Dreadnought Fleet on the defensive line, and the first wave of attacks was launched when the two sides approached 5AU.
Of course, at this distance, range-type space attacks cannot be used, and only single-point attacks of space piercing can be used, causing very limited damage to the Zerg.
After the three waves of attacks passed, Lin Tian was surprised to find that all the attacking groups still maintained this neat queue, and there was no sign of loosening. Moreover, the vacancies in the array created by these three waves of attacks had already been replaced by other war bugs. Filled up at a very efficient rate!
Is this a Zerg, or a heavily trained Starfleet?
Just when Lin Tian was amazed, all the Zerg arrays began to evolve, and the jet insects came to the front of the array one after another, and gathered the energy in their bodies, which was a sign that they were about to start attacking.
"Commander, the Zerg spray bug stepped forward and showed an attacking stance!"
"The distance now!"
"4.8AU!"
This is a full 4.8AU. According to the previous experience of human-insect warfare, this is completely within the attack range of the Federation fleet, and the Zerg can only queue up and wait for the distance to be shot.
Now, the jet insects that can be cultivated in large quantities by the fifth-order king insects have shown an attacking stance, and the range has been increased by more than 100 times. Well, have you evolved several levels?
"Closely observe and analyze the attacks of the jet bugs, while creating a new file in the database, named after the higher-order jet bug!"
"It's the commander!"
Regarding these jet insects, although Lin Tian is confident that the Dreadnought Fleet can withstand their attacks, he will not be careless and underestimate the enemy because of this!
At the next moment, there were so many squirt bugs on the battlefield that Lin Tian was too lazy to count them, and started to attack.
The tail like a scorpion shrank back slightly, then suddenly stretched forward, releasing its own attack, and a sphere with a little red glow quickly swept forward.
"Commander, the attack released by the high-level jet insects has been detected. The energy index is extremely high, but the speed is not fast. The speed is only 120,000 kilometers per second, and the contact distance is about 105 minutes. Wait... Is this an entity?"
"Physical attack?"
"No no, it's not quite right to say the entity, it should be said to be an energy bomb in a physical shell!"
Having said that, Lin Tian understood why the high-level jet bugs could start attacking at a distance of nearly 5AU.
The reason is in this physical shell!
Encapsulate the energy in a special way and shoot it out, and finally the energy contained in the outer shell of the entity bursts out on contact?
In addition to the slower attack speed, this is simply a super long-range energy attack.
I am afraid it is because the energy will gradually dissipate in the process of traveling, so it will only attack within 5AU!
After all, even if there is a physical shell, it can theoretically have an infinite range, but if the energy as the main lethality is completely dissipated, it will be meaningless!
However, what kind of attack was contained in the physical shell, Lin Tian was a little confused.
"Calculate the path of one of the attacks and send an unmanned reconnaissance ship to collide. I want to know the specific parameters of this attack!"
"Yes, Commander!"
According to the current attack of the jet bug, the speed of advance, as reported by the radar team before, is more than an hour away from the contact, there is enough time for Lin Tian to test before contact, what kind of attack is this.
Soon, in the middle of the two sides of the battlefield,
A hyperspace window was opened without warning, and a Dreadnought-class battleship rushed out and released a small unmanned reconnaissance ship from the airport.
"Commander, the warship has arrived at the predetermined position and the release of the reconnaissance ship has been completed."
"Have you confirmed the attack path of the advanced jet insects?"
"confirmed!"
"Okay, immediately control the unmanned reconnaissance ship and hit me against the calculated path!"
"Yes, Commander... The unmanned reconnaissance ship has set off, and it is 17 minutes away from contact!"
Under the control of the command team, this unmanned reconnaissance ship that was just released quickly swept away at the fifth battle speed along the set route!
Time, minutes and seconds passed, and the attacks of the Dreadnought Fleet and the Zerg were also being released one after another.
The reconnaissance ship sent by Lin Tian was less than a minute away from contact.
Inside the USS Union bridge, the entire staff, Lin Tian, and Vilordis all stared at the virtual image in front of him and the tactical image on the side.
In the tactical image, a blue dot and a red dot are facing each other in a straight line, and the contact time is displayed precisely on the edge.
3...
2...
1...
When the two origins, one blue and one red, came into contact, they both flickered a few times, then faded from the image, and then disappeared.
The observation image on the side shows that a dark red energy cluster is being generated, covering a distance of a full 1 million kilometers in diameter!
"What a large killing radius, have you calculated the specific data?"
Lin Tian was obviously also shocked, and asked loudly in the direction of the command team.
"It's been calculated, Commander!"
"According to our calculations, this attack is still in the form of energy, but the energy level has exceeded level 11, almost reaching the level of level 12!"
"As for the killing range, it is calculated as a sphere with a diameter of 1 million kilometers!"
The range is above 4AU and close to 5AU, the killing range has reached 1 million kilometers in diameter, and the energy level has also reached close to level 12...
What kind of concept this is, Lin Tian couldn't be more clear.
In terms of power alone, it has basically reached the pinnacle of the yang electron cannon that the Federation once developed. Of course, it is definitely not comparable to something like a gamma ray cannon, but it is already amazing!
This is the most low-level jet worm in the Zerg!
However, he was amazed, but Lin Tian was also slightly relieved. After all, although the power was amazing, this kind of attack could not pose a threat to the phase shield in essence.
However, just when Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, a new situation appeared on the Zerg side. When there was still a distance of 3.8AU between the two sides, those battleship insects in the array...
Fire!
With a semi-physical weapon, Lin Tian can still understand how the ultra-long range came from, but today's battleship bugs use a beam-type attack, and they can start attacking at such a long distance.
This was completely beyond Lin Tian's expectations, it was simply incredible.
You must know that even the most advanced beam weapons in the Federation have an attack range of just over 10 million kilometers.
Not even one-fifth of the range shown by the battleship bug today...
