Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 307 Artificial Dragon Scale Armor

In the dark and quiet deep sky, there is a huge creature with a body as big as a planet curled up, quietly suspended in the universe.

The sudden strong hyperspace fluctuation alarmed this planet-level creature. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked in one direction of the galaxy.

There were signals from nearly 20 warships appearing at the same time.

The ether dragon spread its huge wings on its back and seemed to be on alert.

20 10-kilometer-class battleships collectively activated the hyperspace engine and reached the galaxy where the Aether Dragon was located in an instant.

At the moment of landing, the main guns of all battleships were quickly charged, and a salvo was launched forward in a very short period of time.

According to Qin Xu's order, these 20 battleships are equipped with the longest-range equipment currently - X-type shaped arc launchers.

Each 10km and battleship has only one X-slot main gun-level weapon reserved.

It was originally supposed to be a laser weapon, a tachyon light spear, a kinetic energy weapon, a giga-level cannon, and a mix of equipment.

Under Qin Xu's order, all 20 battleships were equipped only with shaped arc emitters.

Compared with other weapons and equipment, the arc launcher has a 100% penetration effect on armor and shields.

Each attack can effectively hit the opponent's hull structure.

But in contrast, his attack power is also very unstable.

Sometimes it will suddenly penetrate the shield and hit the hull directly through the armor, causing huge damage.

Sometimes it only penetrates the shields and armor, causing negligible damage to the hull. It all depends on luck.

But for 20 battleships, this unstable damage is actually infinitely close to the median damage value.

If there is only one battleship, and it is only equipped with one skill arc launcher, its deterrence is not even as good as that of a destroyer.

Because if your concentrated arc goes down, you may only be able to deal a little damage. This is too unstable, and the battleship may also be overturned by the destroyer.

But when 20 battleships gather together, a single salvo will definitely be able to deal theoretical damage.

At this time, the battleship Hai carrying the skill arc launcher can kill the enemy without any damage.

To ask why, because the arc launcher has the longest attack range of all weapons,

I will be able to hit you before you can hit me, and all attacks will directly attack the hull through the shield and armor.

Under the salvo of 20 battleships, if they all focus on one target, then almost nothing can survive his two salvos.

Before the [-] battleships entered, the first round of salvos had already begun at the extreme distance of the Aether Dragon's attack.

The ether dragon sensed the danger, and its huddled body suddenly unfolded, speeding towards the 20 battleships.

When he moved quickly, trying to bring the opponent into his attack range, the first round of skill arc volleys had already hit him.

Under Qin Xu's command, there is no chance of missing a hit.

The rest depends on how much damage the focused arcs on these 20 battleships can do.

However, with the support of 20 battleships, the damage is extremely stable.

A concentrated fire immediately made the body of the ether dragon stiff and unable to move.

You must know that this is a huge cosmic creature the size of a planet. No one knows how long it has lived and what its true combat power is.

If they are approached and attacked by the opponent, it is unknown whether their battleship-level protection can stop them.All the crew members in the battleship looked at what was happening in front of them very nervously.

After the first round of volley hits, the body of the ether dragon obviously stagnated, and the attack should have worked.

The question then becomes how many rounds of salvos the opponent can sustain, and whether they can still reach his attack range after the salvos and destroy some of their battleships.

Regarding the nervousness of the crew, Qin Xu seemed very calm.

The crew did not know the information about the Ether Dragon, so they felt uneasy.

Qin Xu can not only predict the future, but also knows what kind of creature the ether dragon is.

But can the opponent always blow up a battleship?
Qin Xu didn't know either.

Because there is no need to know that the ether dragon cannot withstand two rounds of concentrated arc salvoes from two 20 battleships. This is an established fact.

No change is possible without the interference of another psyker.

"We are about to enter the enemy's attack range!"

A shout from the crew made everyone alert.

Can their warship withstand a blow from this huge planet and creature?

People always have various fears about unknown things.

In response, Qin Xu ordered, "Notify the scientific research fleet at the rear that they can come in."

"what?"

Someone instinctively yelled, but then he quickly covered his mouth and began to execute the order meticulously.

In wartime, the commander's order is absolute. When the commander issues an order, there is no time or need to explain the order to the crew.

And if you don't trust the commander, then question it before the war begins.

After the war begins, no one can question the commander's order. This is what Qi Zhengxi has always required the entire army to do.

The scientific research fleet at the rear can enter hyperspace jump, and when the ether dragon in front of it immediately enters the opponent's range, it falls directly to the ground with another salvo of 20 battleships.

The attack from the shaped arc launcher penetrated the shield of the ether giant, penetrated the armor of the ether dragon, and hit his body directly.

It seems that there is no damage to the opponent's body after a round of volley, but in fact it is already a candle in the wind and the end of the powerful crossbow.

The second salvo directly penetrated the opponent's body, and a powerful arc of electricity shot out from his planet-level body.

The opponent didn't even have to attack before turning into a dead thing.

At this time, the scientific research fleet behind them also happened to jump to this galaxy and sailed toward the ether dragon that had turned into a dead thing.

Countless scientific research fleets landed directly on the body of the ether dragon, which was as huge as a planet.

Various scientific research instruments began to greet him. With the help of psychic energy, a new technology was soon put on the research agenda.

This new technology can make a qualitative leap in their current armor strength.

They named this new type of armor - artificial dragon scale armor.
