Chapter 962: Backhand and Battlefield Factors

However, the number of opposing warships was too large. The high evasion ability achieved by the human warship battle group through shared data was ultimately much worse than that of the original warships. From time to time, warships would still be hit by the concentrated tachyon lightsabers.

Up to now, humanity has lost hundreds of star-class battleships.

Many intelligent beings died.

In interstellar wars, the casualties of intelligent life are incurred in units of battleships. Once a battleship is destroyed, there is basically no life.

Fortunately, except for the three thousand consciousness-connected warships in the human fleet, the other warships are almost all piloted by people from the Red Flame Civilization, who are the best fighters of the Star Alliance.

With the support of thought imprinting technology, humans can also use them with confidence.

The Daya civilization on the other side probably also has this form. Although they did not tell humans, everyone knows that not every warship is occupied by people from the Daya civilization.

There are warships driven by intelligent life forms themselves, and there are also warships driven by strong artificial intelligence.

In fact, at the fifth level of civilization, strong artificial intelligence is slightly inferior to intelligent life in terms of on-the-spot judgment and decision-making, because life sciences are constantly progressing and technologies related to mental consciousness have emerged.

Various instruments and equipment to assist intelligent life are constantly emerging, including technology such as consciousness uploading. Even if there is no such technology, there are brain-computer interfaces.

After the fight, no intelligent life will work solely with its own brain; there must be computers assisting behind the scenes.

This combination, even if it is only achieved through a brain-computer interface, is not comparable to strong artificial intelligence. What warships have in war is the advantages of comprehensive combat capability and various on-the-spot judgments.

Strong artificial intelligence may be able to avoid possible attacks through data calculations, event probability comparisons, etc., but warships controlled by intelligent life may be able to make very wise decisions based on sudden inspiration.

Of course it could also be catastrophic.

However, in terms of the overall performance of warship combat effectiveness, intelligent life at this stage has surpassed strong artificial intelligence, although not by much.

Therefore, if you observe carefully on the battlefield, you can tell the difference between a warship controlled by strong artificial intelligence and a warship driven by intelligent life.

However, in this kind of large meat grinder battlefield, neither side is in the mood to make such a judgment.

Now the biggest goal of the three parties is to destroy each other as much as possible.

The consciousness uploading technology of the Daya civilization is also powerful enough. Although they have suffered much greater losses than humans since the war began, they are extremely powerful when facing the enemy's ordinary star-class battleships, and even achieved a 1:3 record at one point.

However, as the distance got closer, their decline became more apparent.

This time there was no fighting and retreating, because the rear was the foundation of the two civilizations.

"Dayan civilization shines brightly in the galaxy!"

Loud shouts rang out in the warships of the Dayan civilization. After each warship was hit, the Dayans inside fired the final shots before the warships completely exploded.

The fleet of the Star Ocean Alliance has gathered within 0.28 light years, and it only takes one day for the warp weapons of both sides to fire from the barrel to hit the target.

The distance is still getting closer, the Star Sea Alliance is swarming in, and close combat will soon come. By then, more warships will be crammed into the area where the human and Daya civilization fleets are located. The entire starry sky will become more crowded, and the space for hiding will become smaller.

As the distance narrowed, casualties increased.

In just a few days, millions of Star Alliance warships had been destroyed, and they also discovered the reason why humans and Daya civilization were fighting desperately. As a result, the situation that humans and Daya civilization least wanted to see occurred.

The stellar fleet of the Star Ocean Alliance kept rushing forward, and the planetary battleships that came with them began to form a large bracket from the top, bottom, left and right directions, intending to go around and head straight for the black hole.

"Order all fleet groups to disperse, disperse, expand the longitudinal and deep interception capabilities, and block all the star-class battleships of the Star Sea Alliance!" The Lyra issued an order.

Then it kept switching between entering and exiting the warp. Every time it exited the warp, it would sweep the opponent with a tachyon lightsaber. The battleship also seemed to teleport in the starry sky, moving head-on towards the overwhelming Star Sea Alliance little by little.

Humans still have a trump card. As long as they can block this wave of star-class battleships and let them know how difficult it is to break through the defense line, they should slow down and target human star-class battleships.

It will be easy if you just slow down.

Yue Yuan is not very worried about the human habitation spaceship cluster, not because it is guarded by planetary battleships. The few planetary battleships of humans are definitely not able to withstand so many planetary battleships of the Star Sea Alliance. The trump card of the habitation spaceship cluster is Adley. At the same time, the habitation spaceship cluster is also close to the black hole. The harsh environment can reduce the combat effectiveness of the Star Sea Alliance fleet to a certain extent.

With Adley here, we should be able to handle it even if some star-class battleships come charging over.

But the main fleet still has to pretend to be giving it their all. The battlefield is full of false realities and falsehoods, and they must not let the Star Sea Alliance know the details, otherwise they might underestimate the enemy. When they find out that their planetary battleship fleet has been slaughtered by Adley, they will think of sending out a large number of stellar battleships to attack the enemy directly, but by then it will be too late.

Fifteen days passed.

Thirty percent of humanity’s battleships have been lost.

There were only 600,000 or so star-class battleships left out of the 900,000. However, none of the consciousness-connected battleships were damaged, and none were even hit.

Of the more than 3 million warships of the Daya civilization, only 2.4 million were left.

The Star Alliance suffered even worse. Almost three million of their thirty million star-class battleships were destroyed. However, this loss was only one-tenth for them.

It can be said that a warship is destroyed every second.

The fleets of both sides are huge. If this battleship is not shooting, there are other battleships shooting. It is normal for battleships to explode at any time.

And this is not the most intense moment of the war, because the real close combat is about to begin.

From this moment on, the three fleets of human civilization, Daya civilization, and Star Sea Alliance finally mixed together, and a close combat melee began.

After this moment, the number of star-class battleships will decrease at a faster rate.

The fireballs exploding in the starry sky will become more dense, the starry sky will see more dense and frequent strikes, the light of the tachyon lightsaber will turn this star field into a sea of ​​light, the aftermath of gravity bombs will be everywhere in the starry sky, and the drive of many warp weapons and battleship warp engines will make this starry sky flatter.

The appearance of warp traces will cause the warship to decelerate when it enters the warp traces. This is just like skidding when driving on the ruts of the car in front of you. Not only will there be skidding and deceleration, but there will also be warp deviation.

Each warship will need to consider more parameters when shooting, dodging, moving, etc. The depth parameters of each warp track will be incorporated into the calculation of various action parameters of the warship.

Wars among interstellar civilizations are fought not only based on the size of the fleet, logistics, and the strength of weapons and armor, but also on data analysis capabilities. Each warship's processing and response to changes in battlefield information, and the captain's command and judgment are all combat effectiveness.

For example, the warp bomb that is now 0.4 AU away from the Lyra will pass through a warp trace, and then its warp engine will be offset. The Lyra, which has just exited the warp state to launch a tachyon lightsaber attack, does not need to dodge at all. It will explode on its own at a distance of 1 AU from the Lyra.

The warp bomb that didn't hit the Lyra had no effect at all.
