Chapter 178 Firing the First Shot
Time, humans want to delay it for a while, Kuntai civilization also wants to delay, but they want to delay until the fuel transfer is completed.
Humans don't know this.
Because at such a long distance, although humans can see the fleet of Kuntai people, it is normal for a fleet to have transport ships and transport boats between each spacecraft.
And the Kuntai civilization did not act slow in the subsequent discussion, but was as anxious as ever.
This made humans feel that they just really wanted to solve the problem through negotiation.
In this way, time passed for another two months in the wrangling between the two sides.
"Yue Shuai, Kuntai civilization has moved, and the eight probes that were withdrawn according to our wishes have also turned their bows and rushed towards the asteroid belt." The voice of the announcer sounded in the bridge of the Tianqin.
Yue Yuan immediately looked at the star map, and the icon representing the probe was constantly flashing, and it also showed the real-time speed, predicted route and other contents of the probe.
"Finally can't help it!" Yue Yuan said in his heart.
Seeing that Kuntai Civilization finally took action, Yue Yuan did not make any pre-launch speech in the bridge of the Tianqin, nor did he send any command instructions to the Wudangshan Ship and Emeishan Ship formations.
Because there is a communication delay between the current location of the Tianqin and the Wudangshan Ship and the Emeishan Ship. Moreover, he has explained the general strategy clearly, and I believe that the captains of the two warships will make their own judgments.
This is the case with interstellar wars. In the absence of superluminal communication and superluminal detection means, any warship that is not in the same formation will have a communication delay, and the pace is generally not fast.
However, the slow pace refers to communication. After the real fight, every warship is also racing against time. In this case, the more it looks like remote control micro-manipulation, the faster it will die.
Of course, it does not mean that if you don’t command directly, you will not see anything.
The detection information is updated on the star map so that the Tianqin Ship and other warship formations can make judgments that are in line with strategic intentions based on the development situation.
"Report, the battleship formation of Kuntai civilization remains unchanged. Just as we are accelerating, their detector has crossed the red line we drew!"
As this report sounded, the Wudangshan and Emeishan battleship formations that were in the open also moved.
Not long after, a gamma laser lit up from the muzzle of a frigate in the Wudangshan battleship formation, and then thirty seconds later, it passed by the nearest detector 18 kilometers away.
After another thirty seconds, the system sound on the frigate sounded.
"Test firing completed, missed the target, error 17.235 kilometers, correcting the shooting elements!"
"Calculating relative position, calculating target speed, calculating the possibility of the target changing course within thirty seconds, judging that it has been completed, completed!
"Linking with the other two frigates in the range area, linkage completed, the three-ship fire control system coordinated, our ship's No. 1, 2, and 3 laser guns are ready. The first round of salvo is ready"
"Fire! "
With a shout from the frigate's cockpit, nine lasers shot silently at the target.
Or rather, they shot at the possible location of the enemy's detector in 30 seconds calculated by the frigate's onboard combat AI.
"Fire!"
"Fire! "
Other frigates also fired at the approaching probes, while more frigates formed small teams and slowly dispersed.
The Wudangshan fleet, like the Emeishan fleet, has 50 frigates. These frigates are called frigates, but they are not actually incorporated into the fleet to protect the Shan-class battleships or the Ganymede-class battleships.
They are actually guarding residential spacecraft and other non-military spacecraft to prevent those spacecraft from being destroyed by the opponent's small-scale raids.
However, the Kuntai civilization does not have any small-scale ships, so the frigates were pulled over to coordinate interception operations against the opponent's probes, but their main target is still the residential spacecraft on the opposite side.
So the formation was dispersed in order to find an opportunity to raid the Kuntai civilization's residential spacecraft later.
"The target was not hit, the shooting element calculations have been completed during parameter correction, and the second round of salvos are ready."
"The target was not hit. Prepare for the third salvo."
"The target was not hit, prepare for the fourth salvo."
"The target was hit. The damage to the target has been assessed. Commander, we sank an enemy probe."
The probe is very fragile, and its main function is flexible detection. It basically has no combat power, so at this stage, the human frigate is equivalent to playing target shooting.
To deal with such flexible aircraft, laser weapons are undoubtedly the most suitable, because its mass is very small, basically heavier than space nuclear missiles. Under the same nuclear fusion dynamic conditions, missile weapons are difficult to hit them.
What's more, at the current distance, even light takes thirty seconds to travel. If you use nuclear missiles, you can fire a shot and then go back to sleep and continue to fight.
A few minutes later, the first few probes that approached were destroyed, which was also a sign that human civilization and Taikun civilization began a physical war.
At the same time, in the bridge of the Wudangshan ship,
"Very good, all very energetic! I guess you all know what we are about to face, but I want to tell you again, it is Kuntai civilization, a civilization with 120 mountain-class warships, so now tell me, are you afraid?"
"No!"
"It's a lie to say I'm not afraid. I'm telling you clearly that I'm afraid too. But we are soldiers. The glory of the human soul allows us to overcome the fear of death. If we retreat, we humans will be wiped out from the universe by the bug-like aliens.
We have no way to retreat. We can only move forward, toward the enemy's artillery fire. Next, let's tell these aliens what blood and fire are. Now tell me, is there anyone trembling with fear!"
"No!!!"
"Very good, I'll give you 30 minutes to write your suicide note. Then, come with me and kill the aliens!"
"Kill the aliens!"
The captain of the Wudangshan ship said something a bit childish, but this scene not only happened on the Wudangshan ship, but also on the Emeishan ship and the warships of the Manyuemei formation.
The Kuntai civilization warship will enter the range of laser weapons in four hours. As the warships on the front line, they must be aware of life and death.
As the battleship formation unfolds, time is getting closer to the real main battlefield exchange of fire. During this period, other frigates have destroyed more than a few probes that want to break into the asteroid belt.
"Attention, all ships in this fleet, please judge your own positions, and wish us good luck!"
With a self-blessing, the battle on the main battlefield officially began.
