Chapter 274: Chess meets card player

Views:

Being attacked by the ship's bow cannon from multiple directions at the same time is a challenge to the toy factory's defensive force field. Once the outer energy layer is penetrated, the walls of the dome are likely to be unable to withstand further penetration of this beam. .

However, the Hornets were not polite. After Galvezan gave the order, the beams fired from the bow cannons penetrated the ocean currents and hit the force field. The confrontation on the energy level began.

If you want to talk about the total energy reserve, the toy factory must be much more abundant than those moving ships. However, in a short period of time, the intensity of the bow gun output only needs to act on one point, but the defensive force field has to cover the entire dome. That is a very huge area. If we want to ensure that every point on the force field has a stronger output than the bow gun, the energy in the factory may not be enough. Therefore, Galvezan's tactics can be said to be the nemesis of the defensive force field. At this moment, more than one ship is firing, and they are not firing at all. It is very likely that a certain energy can penetrate the force field.

Sure enough, the confrontation only lasted a few seconds, and the alarm sounded inside the dome.

"The outer wall has received direct hits from multiple points, the defensive force field has been opened, energy is being consumed, and the endurance has reached the limit. Warning, the safety level is being reduced."

Hearing the words in the broadcast, Wei Sheng immediately thought of something: "Let me guess... this so-called safety level will activate the self-explosion device when it reaches the lowest level."

At this time, the warlock said to himself on the big screen: "Well... try this method to prevent the opponent's multiple ships from outputting at the same time."

A few seconds later, a beam of light suddenly released from the dyed water in the sea. It looked exactly like the bow gun released by the S7 Great White Shark, which hit the No. 7 ship of the Great White Shark.

Upon seeing this, Galvezan shouted at the communication equipment: "What's going on! Ship No. 7, you didn't turn on the energy detection. There is still a soldier sitting in front of the monitor screen who suddenly went blind!"

"We did not detect an energy response on the scale of the main gun, and there was no response on the detector." The communications officer of the No. 7 ship replied.

The commander on that ship had already ordered emergency evasive actions at the moment the hull was hit, stopped the output of the ship's bow gun, and transferred all energy to defense. But the beam of light followed the fast-moving Great White Shark and did not stop until it destroyed the boat and killed everyone.

"Sir! Here we go again!" The hive's communications team once again reported bad news. This time, the No. 6 ship was hit by a bow gun level bombardment, and the interval between the two was extremely theoretically impossible.

"Sir, according to the orbit analysis, it should be emitted by the blue shark in the dyed fog."

"Asshole... Could it be that he absorbed the volley just now..." Galvezan had a very keen sense of smell on such a battlefield where the situation was unpredictable, and he was indeed right. The function of the blue shark is to absorb the energy of non-live ammunition weapons, store it and be able to fight back.

In fact, the toy weapon teams sent by Warlocks are all defensive-oriented, including ducks, blocks, and sharks. Only those humble dwarf divers. All of them hold a harpoon in their hands, a hammer in their waist, and a Grimm weapon in their mouths. They have huge copper skin and iron bones, and have excellent killing AI.

Of course, the warrior also slightly underestimated the strength of the Hornet troops. He did not expect that the other party would respond so quickly. How can ordinary troops have such reaction speed and efficiency in a deep battle? If it were an ordinary imperial naval force, I am afraid that the first batch of mermaids would be able to take down one-third of the opponent's troops.

But at this moment, the Warlock had become serious. Although he was unable to open the force field under the opponent's fire suppression and continued to release new toy soldiers, the Blue Shark's two cannons destroyed two of the opponent's S7 Great White Sharks, reducing the defensive force field. burden and buy more time.

"Sir, the output time of the bow gun on No. 9 and No. 10 is close to the critical value. If it continues, there is a risk of damage to the power furnace, and the buffer needs to be paused." The communications soldier turned back, waited for three seconds, and urged: "Sir, please give an order!"

Galvezan's eyes flickered, and he didn't have much time to think. If we stop firing volleys at this moment, we will probably lose the opportunity to break the opponent's external defense. With the increase in casualties, it may be difficult to create this kind of opportunity again. God knows, some more will swim out of the dome later. What; and if the risk persists, no matter whether the opponent's defensive force field is broken or not, in the next period of time, all ships participating in the bow gun salvo will enter a brief period of energy exhaustion. By that time, those diving dwarves, Building blocks, blue sharks... It's like entering a cafeteria. The troops outside the hive don't even have the energy to launch beam weapon barrages to defend themselves, nor can they sail at full speed. They are completely at the mercy of others.

Should he fight to the death and gain an advantage by killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, or should he stabilize the situation for the time being, smooth out the opponent's external forces first, regroup and then attack... I don't know how many times Galvezan faced a similar choice. Each of the Hornet's commanders has faced this choice more than once. According to historical experience, if you make a wrong choice, it will be a mistake once, because without exception, commanders who choose the wrong choice will die in battle because of their wrong decisions.

"Everyone stopped shooting, put all the reserve power on the thrusters, retreated to the hive, and reorganized the formation." Galvezan finally made up his mind and said to the communicator: "The speed of the damaged ships will be affected. Use In the fourth formation, other ships are responsible for cooperating and covering."

His order was quickly implemented, and at the same time, on the other side, the broadcast in the toy factory finally announced a piece of good news: "External attacks have stopped, no new energy reactions have been detected, and the defensive force field has been removed. The energy consumption this time exceeded the calculated value, and the reactor is cooling down. The base damage calculation... The calculation is completed, there is no damage, the current integrity of the base is 99.7%, and the highest safety level has been restored."

The warlock controlled the blue shark's two diversionary attacks to achieve his goal. However, this move also consumed the energy that the shark had just absorbed. He knew in his heart that the effectiveness of the shark had ended here. The opponent's commander was quite shrewd and did not need to How long will it take to see through this shark's weakness? In fact, as long as enough torpedoes are used for intensive bombing, or the main gun of the Noah-class mothership is used, the blue shark will be disintegrated.

The opponent is now deliberately keeping a distance and evacuating the stained sea area, so the dwarf divers are of no use. After all, their speed cannot catch up with the submarine, and it is very difficult to get close in an open area and when the opponent is on guard. of.

As for the Rubik's Cube just now, it is broken in the same way as the Blue Shark. In the scattered state, the individual blocks cannot withstand torpedoes. In the combined state, they can withstand torpedoes and barrage attacks from inferior beams, but they are easily destroyed by the bow of the ship. The artillery was wiped out. Fortunately, the controllability of this machine is relatively strong, and Warlock is confident that he can tangle with the opponent for a while just by relying on this machine and his own operation.

Now the warlock is afraid of one thing. What if the other party also sends out high-tech undersea combat weapons, or directly uses the main gun of the hive to shoot at the dome

As far as chess is concerned, whether it is chess or Go, if you are a person who thinks highly of yourself, then to judge whether your opponent is a master equal to you, it is very simple, you can think of the most difficult move for you. , exactly what the other party is going to do next.

Although Galvezan and Warlock had never met each other, and one of them was not present at all when their contest started, this did not affect the rhythm of the game.

"Childish enemy, childish tactics, hum..." Galvezan commented, and then ordered: "Hive main gun, prepare to fire."

"Understood, start the main gun attack program, the Noah-class main gun firing countdown, one hundred and twenty seconds." A petty officer replied.

Galvezan turned on the communicator again and connected to a direct channel inside the hive: "Poison, prepare to attack. If the main gun can break through the opponent's defense, you will rush in through the destroyed opening. If If the main ship cannon can't break it, then you make a big fuss, annihilate everything that comes out of that egg, and then go 'knock on the door'."

After Galvezan gave the order, he sat down and closed his eyes again, as if the battle was over: "I didn't expect it would take so much time, huh... If I had known that this was the case, I shouldn't have acted as usual from the beginning. The formation is getting closer." At this moment, Galvezan felt that he had made that crucial choice, and he was right.

Taking the risk of sacrificing all the conventional troops to bet on the outcome of the volley like just now, hoping that this will determine the outcome, is something that commanders in movies would do. Galvezan has always scorned such risky choices. Responsible generals do not like to take risks.

If this battle is a chess game, then the people on both sides of the chessboard are basically professional chess players and professional gamblers, regardless of their personality, experience, ability to grasp the battle situation, and command ability. , Warlock is simply not comparable to Galvezan.

"In the end, all the bravery and tenacity in this world have to succumb to the laws of reason." Galvezan said leisurely and contentedly while closing his eyes to rest, "War, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than characters, events, motives... everything. All can be calculated. The Hornet is the strongest rear combat force, just a secret base of a resistance organization. In terms of hardware strength, can the combat effectiveness of a building compare to these war weapons under my command... Haha , Ridiculous, even if they are of similar strength, as long as they are commanded properly, there is no battle that cannot be won."

The countdown to the hive's main gun is still going on, and the broadcast in the toy factory is also coldly describing the bad news: "Noah-level high-energy reaction has been detected 2.2 nautical miles away. The defense force field has been opened, and the defense focus has shifted to 2.2 miles away." Armor plate area 17." (To be continued.)
