Zhang Hong described this method in a very relaxed tone, as if it were a very simple method.

But who is Lu Jun? How could he not understand the difficulties of this matter?

So-called collective space defense, in a sense, is simply a spatial blockade, forming fragmented areas at the spatial level where the spaces between them are not connected, thus directly avoiding attacks at the conventional physical level.

Since such gaps and defenses exist, we can simply reconnect them.

Construction is much more difficult than destruction, and collective spatial defense can be both construction and destruction.

It disrupted the original spatial continuity and then constructed corresponding spatial faults, forming an effective spatial defense in a certain direction.

The method Zhang Hong described is the same; it is both constructive and destructive.

Destroy the spatial fault lines constructed by the enemy, then sort out the broken points at both ends of space, and reconnect them to form a passable passage.

From this perspective, whether it is the Kushan army's collective defense or their upcoming space defense breakthrough, they are almost the same in nature, only differing in the way they output power.

On the one hand, the collective space defense is formed by combining the stored cloud energy of ships with the will of the soldiers.

On the other hand, by using pure and stable willpower output, the space and reality of the distorted area are interfered with, and then by relying on the physical output of the powerful flying bricks, an output exceeding the opponent's defense limit is forcibly delivered.

"In other words, using this method to strike is essentially a contest of strength between the two sides. Whoever outputs more power will win the corresponding victory..." Lu Jun, who directly judged this method of confrontation, frowned slightly, but did not refute this offensive approach.

Unlike in the past, when relying solely on physical attacks was insufficient to break through spatial defenses, the current methods and techniques at least offer the possibility of penetrating the opponent's collective spatial defenses.

A few years ago, knowing that an opponent had such methods and capabilities, one probably wouldn't even know the corresponding research direction. But now, after several years of targeted research, they already have the means and methods to deal with the enemy, which is already terrifying.

Perhaps spending more time might yield better results, but for Lu Jun, he couldn't wait that long.

Not only could he not wait that long, but the entire naval forces of the Han Empire could not wait that long either.

Currently, the fastest-moving fighting force in the Kushan Empire's battle lineup is the land force, which has already reached the edge of the Kushan Empire's core area and could inflict heavy damage on the Kushan Empire at any time.

In contrast, the naval forces were still blocked by the Kushan navy east of the Strait of Malacca, unable to advance westward to protect the rear of the Han Empire's army forces and prevent them from being harassed by the Kushan navy or launched a landing attack around the strait.

Ever since the Battle of Yecheng, anyone in the world who knows about this period of war is well aware of the terror of the navy flanking from behind.

Especially for fast cavalry like the White Horse Cavalry, once they entered the enemy's rear, the damage they could cause was, in a sense, devastating and irreparable.

If the Kushans had similar cavalry units and could use their navy to flank and land, opening a second front, then even if the front lines penetrated into the core area of ​​the Kushan Empire, they would likely have to retreat, finding themselves in a dilemma. Therefore, the navy is very important, extremely important, especially for the Han army at this time; whether or not they had the Strait of Malacca was a completely different matter.

Possessing the Strait of Malacca and occupying this narrow area allows for both offensive and defensive maneuvers, which is the most basic bottom line and the strategic objective to be achieved at present.

This urgent desire to seize control of the Strait of Malacca was not only present in every naval soldier, but also influenced the shipyard workers.

In this atmosphere, people naturally feel a unique pressure, and under this pressure, they naturally generate vigorous motivation to do their best to work hard and strive.

"These are the only methods available at the moment. Although there are other methods being derived, only these two methods have a relatively acceptable cost if we want to make them practical in a short period of time..." Zhang Hong shook his head slightly, saying something quite realistic.

Although the cost of these two methods is extremely high, it is really insignificant compared to other methods.

As Zhang Hong spoke, he also turned his head to look at the enormous thing in the dock and nodded thoughtfully.

The military consumables for this type of attack are indeed very expensive, with each round costing hundreds of thousands of five-zhu coins. However, compared to the behemoth before them, this exorbitant price is truly a drop in the ocean.

With a construction cost exceeding 10 billion and soaring towards 100 billion, this steel warship was something Zhang Hong would never have dared to even dream of before, let alone witness it firsthand.

With so much money, the armed army would be enough to crush any enemy they could reach.

At least in the past, this was the thinking of the vast majority of members of aristocratic families.

As long as the infantry can get through, and as long as money and food are available, no enemy is invincible. If there is one, it only means that the support is inadequate.

The strength and ferocity of the Han army were fully demonstrated in both its infantry and cavalry.

However, the excessive focus on the development of cavalry and infantry led to a neglect of the development of the navy, resulting in a disadvantageous position when facing the Kushan navy.

Even if a large part of the reasoning comes from differences in ship command skills, in foreign wars, detailed reasons are often not enough to convince others.

"Then prepare the corresponding military consumables. Once the ships are assembled, bring them aboard." Lu Jun nodded slightly, explaining the usage of these expensive consumables, and said quite seriously, "Do your best to produce them. Bring plenty, at least a hundred rounds..."

"Ah, more than 100 shots?" Zhang Hong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this number. He looked at Lu Jun with some surprise, remained silent for a while, and then nodded seriously to show his understanding.

Although each shot costs hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of shots would cost nearly a hundred million, which is indeed extremely expensive, it is not very meaningful if it cannot break through the enemy's defenses.

But if you can break through the enemy's defenses, then the situation is completely different.

When an attack can break through the opponent's defenses, war is no longer decided by one side alone. (End of Chapter)
