Chapter 711 Hidden Fortress Cannon
"Okay, I agree to activate the planetary defense facilities!" The general who had originally refuted was speechless for a moment and reluctantly agreed.
They actually didn't know that the Empire had no intention of scanning this star system in detail. Originally, the First Fleet planned to directly break through the Federation's defense line and enter the heart of the Federation.
But the command of this line of defense was worried that they would be discovered and actually exposed themselves first!
In the defense command, the generals pressed the button on the console in front of them together.
At this time, the planets in this star system began to change dramatically.
The land on the surface of the planets began to crack, and huge columnar buildings rose from the ground.
After rising to thousands of meters in the air, the tops of these columnar buildings suddenly cracked, and a special umbrella-shaped device was opened.
Then blue lights began to flash on these umbrella-shaped devices. After a few seconds, the surfaces of all planets in the entire star system were covered with a layer of blue shields.
At the same time, huge fortress cannons nearly a thousand meters high under the surface of these planets also rose from the ground, and the thin layer of soil on the surface slid down the smooth shell of these fortress cannons to the surroundings.
With the deafening sound of gears turning, the muzzles of these fortress guns were all aimed at the starry sky where the Imperial Fleet was located.
Come to think of it, as the headquarters of the entire defense line, it is impossible that there are only two million warships as a defensive force. There must be more powerful defensive forces hidden in the dark.
At this time, the Imperial Fleet was also stunned by these planets that suddenly turned into planetary fortresses.
They didn't expect that the Federation had hidden so many defense facilities in this star system. They originally thought that this point was one of the weaknesses of the defense line. Is the Federation really not so stupid?
"Scan these planets immediately! I want to know the detailed data of these planets!" Eva ordered her subordinates beside her.
She has abandoned her mechanical body and lived in a man-made body prepared for her for a long time as a human.
Although she can't completely control the entire fleet, she has found the feeling of being a human.
Therefore, if she wants to command the fleet now, she can only shout and let her subordinates complete her orders.
"Yes!" The officer nodded and began to tap on the console.
Soon, several radar scanners with a diameter of hundreds of meters were extended from the Imperial flagship Fortress, and began to conduct a thorough scan of the surrounding planets.
"The data has come out. There are a lot of military facilities hidden underground on these planets, but they did not transform the entire planet into a fortress. It was just an ordinary transformation." The officer raised his head and reported to Eva.
"That's good. I thought the Federation had transformed all these planets into fortresses!" Eva breathed a sigh of relief. Although the planets were also armed, this method of arming by building military bases and artillery positions was obviously much weaker than metalizing the entire planet.
Once the entire planet is metalized, it basically means that the planetary fortress must also be equipped with powerful destructive weapons, such as super weapons used to destroy planets or stars.
Since the other party simply built some artillery positions, Eva was no longer worried. After all, no matter how strong the Imperial fleet was, it could not withstand the attack of super weapons that could destroy stars.
"All warships are ready to press on, and flatten all the fortress guns on the surface of these planets!" Eva began to command the fleet to disperse and rush towards these planets.
The fortress cannons on these planets, which are thousands of meters high and have a barrel of nearly two thousand meters, are certainly not for show.
Such a large volume not only means that it is amazingly powerful, but also means that it has a very long range, which means that they can attack before the Imperial Fleet.
In view of the slow flight speed of physical shells, all the fortress cannons built by the Federation are beam weapons.
When they began to accumulate energy, the muzzles flashed blue light.
Tens of seconds later, tens of thousands of beams of light with a diameter of hundreds of meters shot from the surface of these planets to the Imperial Fleet.
To call them beams of light is actually just a description of the effect of such weapon attacks. These cannons actually fire particle beams, and the beams of light seen are the light released by the particle beams.
These beams instantly crashed into the Imperial Fleet, which was maneuvering and evading.
In an instant, thousands of flashes produced by the explosions flashed in the Imperial Fleet, and it was obvious that some Imperial warships had encountered accidents.
"Report the damage!" Eva said calmly.
"We lost 1,200 Zeus-class warships in this salvo of enemy fortress guns! More than 10,000 people died!" The officer's voice was a little low.
More than 10,000 people died! You know, since the Empire used clones to participate in the battle, the Empire has never had so many natural people sacrificed!
"Eva, order the fleet to withdraw from the enemy's attack range!" Li Mingze, who was originally watching on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Yes!" Eva nodded and issued an order to all the warships. The Empire warship that was originally charging suddenly opened its front engine, stopped the warship in the air, and then began to fall backwards at full speed.
Because it is equipped with a gravity engine, even if it retreats backwards, the speed will not be too slow. In this way, retreating backwards can also put the strongest front of the warship armor in front to prevent it from being taken away by the enemy's artillery.
Although these fortress guns are extremely powerful, they still cannot penetrate the front armor of the Empire Zeus-class warship at one time.
The reason why more than a thousand warships were sacrificed just now was because the enemy's attack hit the Empire's warships from the side.
When all the Empire's warships began to retreat, the Empire's flagship not only did not retreat, but rushed forward.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to..." Eva looked at Li Mingze behind him.
"Yes, it's what you think." Li Mingze waved his hand lazily, with a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
A few minutes later, the Empire's flagship Fortress rushed to the front of all the warships.
The huge Fortress immediately attracted the attention of all officers on the federal defense line.
"All weapons aim at this spaceship and fire! This must be the opponent's flagship!" The generals of the Federation shouted in surprise.
Although they didn't know what the Empire's flagship wanted to do, since they dared to show up, don't blame them for being ruthless!
A few minutes later, the cooled fortress guns aimed at the Empire's flagship Fortress that was rushing.
In an instant, the beams fired by tens of thousands of fortress guns were all shot in front of the Fortress.
The Fortress, unable to stop in time, crashed headfirst into the attack network formed by these light beams! It was instantly submerged by countless lights!
