The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 298 Radar Confrontation
Several horseshoe crabs have special structures. As a laser radar receiving device, the observation compound eye can vaguely capture some structures of the enemy's special warships. Low-energy pulse laser beams are also emitted, sweeping among the star clusters. .

Immediately, the enemy warship changed its formation once again. It was still a short maneuver to change the position of the bow. The main weapon was pointed directly in the direction of the main force of our own starship cluster, especially these sharp horseshoe crabs under the sharp horseshoe crab fleet. .

The familiar blue-purple death light still lit up. This time, the enemy ship seemed to have also changed its tactics. Two battleships focused their fire on one main starfly, and the time interval between the two battleships' firing was a very short time difference. The first shot destroyed the scale layer of reactive armor, while the second shot damaged the main exoskeleton.

Fortunately, the Sharp Branch Fleet had temporarily turned off its laser radar and hid in the star cluster. Based on the accuracy of the other party's observation equipment analyzed previously, it would be impossible to separate the Sharp Branch from the ordinary main star cluster. The horseshoe crab class, these rounds of attacks, although they severely damaged some main stars, did not hit the sharp branch horseshoe crab class.

On the contrary, the opponent was temporarily exposed to Lin Yi because he chose to turn on similar detection methods. Although this kind of laser radar is not as conspicuous as traditional active radar after it is turned on, it can at least determine which warships have turned on the active radar.

The sharp horseshoe crabs mixed in the normal main force star swarm have already kept an eye on the corresponding battleship, and the laser phased array radar structure is ready at any time, just waiting for an opportunity - Lin Yi suddenly had a plan in his mind, if the opponent is indeed AI control may be able to take advantage of this.

On the exoskeletons of all the main stars, the vertical launch units were opened one after another. Among them, the three-type disposable active radar detector with the same propulsion structure came out. It was densely packed and shot forward like a cloud.

The number of these missiles and disposable detector structures has been calculated. To intercept all these structures, secondary gun firepower alone is not enough. If the opponent uses main gun firepower, it means that there will be a period of cooling and recharging. time.

The opponent's observer structure is unable to distinguish between the three-type ampoule and the active radar detector, just like the micron torpedo and the sodium-containing micron torpedo. And based on the opponent's fighting style, there is a high probability that they will intercept them all.

And if the opponent does not choose to intercept all, as long as there is one active radar detector structure left, it is enough to create a short attack opportunity, allowing Lin Yi to accurately target those enemy ships and cause damage.

As expected, the opponent chose to launch a saturation attack on these structures. Whether it was the main gun on the central axis of the hull or the turret-type secondary battery on the side of the hull, they all fired intensive crossfire. If you can see these The light path of the laser must be a spectacular scene intertwined like a network.

Groups of sparks bloomed in space. Even the secondary gun-level laser could easily destroy these detectors and missiles that had little protection. However, this undoubtedly gave Lin Yi a chance to attack after the enemy fleet fired a salvo. In an instant, the laser radar of the Rui Zhi Limu class star suddenly turned on and scanned the special enemy ships mixed in the fleet.

The opportunity was fleeting, and it was still the more powerful laser fired by the free electron laser of the Yekel Horseshoe Fleet that opened fire first, while all the other family fleets in the remaining half of the family fleet followed closely, focusing their fire first. Those same special enemy ships.

More brilliant plasma bloomed. The structural strength of those special battleships seemed to be no better than that of the enemy's battleships, and they did not even seem to have Whipple-like shield armor. The first stage of secondary gun fire caused considerable damage. The second round of attacks followed closely. This time, the targets were mostly enemy battleships. It wasn't until the other side finished loading and started to fight back that the entire Limulus fleet turned off the laser radar and blended into the main fleet again, trying their best to Confusing body shapes.

However, these sharp horseshoe crabs still maintain their retained main gun firing at close to full power, even if it is difficult to achieve success - otherwise, the heat sink that has obviously not reached the peak output will allow the enemy's infrared detection. The structure can be seen at a glance.

But in general, the battle here is basically no longer suspense. Named after one of the most advanced members of the plate-footed horseshoe crab class, and also adopting a large number of concepts that are still in the experimental stage, the winged horseshoe crab fleet under the winged horseshoe crab family fleet has indeed achieved the same origin as their name. Quite a success.

On the other side, the Xiuchi Limulus fleet, a subordinate of the Winged Limulus Super Fleet, which entered the battle at the same time, ended the battle slightly later, and the overall damage was greater. However, the Winged Limulus Fleet, which had basically ended the battle, was already on the way to split up its forces and rush to help. They will soon be able to join up with them and annihilate the enemy's remaining soldiers together.

At the same time, the most powerful family-level fleet at present, the Feather-winged Horseshoe Fleet under the Crab-Body Horseshoe Superfamily Fleet, continued to move towards the star system that already had an enemy fleet detected by the forward detector.

The Crab-body Limulus fleet on the other side is converging with the Mixed-sea Limulus fleet that had gone through a battle before. Together, they are restoring their combat power while advancing steadily. Among them, many of the wreckage of the previous battleships in the Hunhai Limuluo fleet were recovered and prepared to be transformed into pupae to replenish the fleet's troops.

Coupled with the supplies shipped by some pioneering planets from behind and the materials that built a large number of electromagnetic gun structures on some suitable planets and sent into space, some main planets began to partially dissolve their internal structures and improve them.

Among them, the fifty-oared warships of the Horseshoe Fleet under the Winged Horseshoe Fleet and the Terror Horseshoe Fleet under the Mixed Sea Horseshoe Fleet began to prepare their main guns to be replaced with free electron laser configurations, and the Horseshoe Crabs The fleet of the Horseshoe Crabs fleet pupated the secondary battery in the direction of the horseshoe crab-class laser phased array radar.

The advantages brought by the biological modular structure are undoubtedly obvious. Changes in the internal weapon structure, which require a complete return to the factory for overhaul, can be easily implemented without affecting the normal operation of other structures.

However, the results returned by the other detectors showed that the enemy's remaining fleet seemed to have temporarily stopped advancing, looking for suitable planetary orbits to park in their respective star systems and forming a formation, and seemed to be preparing to rely on defense.

On the simulated star map in his mind, the lines connected by the hyperspace channels are of different colors. Next to the small dots representing different stars, a green mark representing one's own fleet and a red mark representing the enemy fleet temporarily divide a line. There is a clear boundary, and we don’t know what the enemy plans to do next.
