Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 213 Weakness?

More than 100,000 powerful nuclear-class warships formed a strict array and advanced rapidly.

Li Qingsong clearly saw that among these more than 100,000 warships, the largest one was only equivalent to his own "Venus" class warship. Not even a warship equivalent to the Earth class was deployed, let alone a "Mars" class warship that only existed in future plans and had not yet been actually manufactured.

But just over 100,000 small and medium-sized warships brought unprecedented pressure to Li Qingsong.

Back in the solar system, the Bluetuk fleet failed to create such a powerful force when facing the charge of itself which was only at the primary level of electroweak force.

Because Li Qingsong saw that before the more than 100,000 warships entered their attack range, a layer of light yellow, like a light shield, appeared on the hulls of the more than 100,000 warships.

Li Qingsong had seen this kind of thing through the clones that remained in the solar system.

Energy shield!

One of the iconic technologies of the third-level strong nuclear civilization!

The interstellar fleets of a strong nuclear civilization can travel at speeds of 70 to 80 percent of the speed of light, relying precisely on this kind of technology!

Li Qingsong's heart felt heavier than ever before.

When the robotic Scourge Fleet was only millions of kilometers away from Li Qingsong's defense line, and the accuracy of existing weapons and equipment could inflict a heavy blow, Li Qingsong's attack began.

In an instant, countless unmanned warships, manned warships, land-based and sky-based air defense bases, interstellar artillery batteries, etc., began to roar at the same time.

After rounds of technical optimization, the electromagnetic cannon projectile, which can now reach a muzzle velocity of over 150 kilometers per second, whizzes out with a mass of only about two grams, carrying an energy of more than kilojoules, and with a momentum enough to penetrate steel and rock, rushes forward like a storm.

The laser beams carried unimaginable high energy and traveled at the speed of light. In just a few seconds, they shone on the enemy warships.

The information jamming bomb that had been prepared in advance exploded, making the electromagnetic environment in this star field extremely harsh.

Li Qingsong knew that a strong nuclear civilization had already mastered long-distance communication technology. However, in his understanding, long-distance communication equipment should be extremely advanced and large, and could only be equipped on large spacecraft.

Small spacecraft will probably still use electromagnetic wave communication technology for short-distance communication.

In that case, the electromagnetic bomb should have an effect on you as well.

In an instant, countless means of attack were used.

At this moment, the pale yellow light shield covering the intelligent Scourge spacecraft became brighter and brighter, even completely covering the entire warship.

The electromagnetic cannon projectile, powerful enough to split mountains and crack rocks, only managed to create a small dent in the light shield. The next moment, it recovered on its own, as if elastic.

According to Li Qingsong's calculations, this energy shield should only be able to defend against kinetic weapons. It should not be very effective against light wave weapons.

This was also confirmed in the trap of the Altair Galaxy: the heat and radiation of the hydrogen bomb can actually be regarded as light wave weapons. In the original hydrogen bomb trap, a large number of their spacecraft were destroyed.

From this perspective, laser beam weapons should achieve good results.

However, Li Qingsong saw that a warship was clearly being irradiated by dozens of high-energy lasers at the same time, but it seemed to be unaware of it and was still maneuvering flexibly.

Obviously, this was another defensive method that Li Qingsong had not known before.

Perhaps... the ability to defend against light wave weapons is indeed the weakness of the warships of strong nuclear civilizations. However, even if it is their weakness, it cannot be broken by their existing means of attack?

Li Qingsong's heart grew heavier. Facing his fierce attack, the omnic Scourge warships also responded one after another.

Li Qingsong's high-speed scanning radar detected large groups of tiny objects similar to electromagnetic cannon projectiles flying towards his own combat forces.

Their speed even reached over 300 kilometers per second!

Such a high speed has even exceeded the defense limits of our own warships' high-speed scanning radar, high-speed bogies and defensive electromagnetic guns.

Their speed is too high, and their interception defense capability will be greatly reduced.

But there is no other way, I have to stop it even if I can’t!

Li Qingsong's mind moved, and the clones scattered in the supercomputing base and Mercury-class battleships immediately issued orders to their own battleships or automatic combat systems to intercept with all their strength.

In an instant, the defensive electromagnetic cannon opened fire at full force, and countless interceptor missiles flew out rapidly.

But this only intercepted a small part of it. The remaining high-speed projectiles directly broke through their own defenses and hit their own combat weapons or warships.

At this moment, countless explosions and flames appeared rapidly.

Li Qingsong clearly saw that his own warship, which could originally withstand a considerable number of projectiles, was actually hit by just one projectile and a big hole was blown directly into the hull armor!
The internal gas leaked out crazily, and even one clone was blown out and died instantly.

The battleship lost its combat effectiveness in an instant.

"Is the attack power of even the electromagnetic cannon of a strong nuclear civilization so strong?"

Li Qingsong's brain was working rapidly: "What principle is this based on?"

After all, judging only by speed and mass, these projectiles cannot have such high power.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides is still millions of kilometers, and this is just the first round of fighting.

However, the battle had only begun for a few hours, and hundreds of manned warships had been destroyed, and countless unmanned combat weapons had been destroyed.

On the other hand, he couldn't even destroy one of the opponent's manned warships!

The only things destroyed by our side were some obviously unmanned small warships, as well as some satellites, artillery batteries, unmanned bases and other facilities.

The exchange ratio reached an astonishing zero to hundreds.

Li Qingsong gritted his teeth and did not retreat in the face of such heavy casualties. He directly mobilized more warships from the surrounding areas and gathered more unmanned combat forces here.

At the same time, Li Qingsong also mobilized some hydrogen bombs hidden in the asteroid belt and disguised as asteroids, but they were not detonated for the time being.

Hundreds of thousands of Mercury-class battleships, tens of millions of unmanned warships, countless air defense bases, countless missile bases, and so on. At this moment, facing the heavy casualties before, not only did they not retreat a step, but their will to fight became even stronger.

For a moment, the artillery fire poured down on those intelligent Scourge warships was as fierce as a violent storm.

Although a large number of our warships or facilities were destroyed at all times. But...

Destroy as much as you can replenish!
Even a drop of water can wear away a rock. No matter how strong your energy shield is, how long can it withstand the bombardment of electromagnetic cannon projectiles? How long can it withstand the irradiation of laser beams?
