Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 60: All Annihilated
In the vast and deep space, with the dark red enemy planet as the background, a fierce battle begins.

But there seemed something odd about this fight.

These "Mercury-class" warships belonging to Li Qingsong seemed to be only focused on rushing forward, ignoring everything else.

They did not launch a counterattack, did not conduct tactical evasion, did not conduct interstellar detection, nothing.

They simply rushed forward.

Then, the projectiles from these unknown warships quickly attacked these 250 "warships".

The next moment, more than a dozen warships exploded and turned into pieces.

Li Qingsong did not feel any distress at all. He just endured the communication delay of more than four minutes, trying his best to control the clones and collecting the combat data of those unknown warships with all his strength.

"They also used projectiles as their main means of attack. But these were obviously not gunpowder bullets. Gunpowder bullets can't reach such high speeds."

The maximum speed of a gunpowder bullet is only about seven or eight kilometers per second, and it is absolutely impossible to exceed ten kilometers per second.

The reason is very simple. The maximum explosion speed of gunpowder is only seven or eight kilometers per second. How can it be possible to make the projectile speed ten kilometers per second?

At this moment, Li Qingsong observed that the projectiles fired by the opponent were traveling at a speed of at least 40 kilometers per second!

This was clearly not a gunpowder bullet. Based on Li Qingsong's understanding of human technology and his future prospects, he quickly made a judgment.

This is an electromagnetic cannon projectile!
By adopting a propulsion principle similar to high-speed ion propulsion technology and using an electromagnetic field to accelerate the projectile, the bullet speed can be increased to about 40 kilometers per second at this moment!

Although the mass of a single projectile is small, its speed is high enough. With high speed, the kinetic energy is naturally high, and the lethality is naturally high.

Therefore, compared with gunpowder bullets, electromagnetic cannon projectiles have achieved the simultaneous improvement of many advantages such as fast speed, high lethality, small weight and easy to carry.

Each of Li Qingsong's bullets weighs 10 grams, so if 40 bullets were carried, the mass would reach 4 tons. However, each electromagnetic cannon projectile weighs only 0.5 grams, so if 40 bullets were carried, the mass would only be 200 kilograms, greatly reducing the spacecraft's load.

Moreover, the power of electromagnetic cannon projectiles is even greater.

However, electromagnetic cannon projectiles have extremely high demands on power supply. At the same time, high-speed ion propulsion technology also has the same characteristics.

Therefore, these enemy warships must have extremely high power supply capabilities. Such huge power consumption cannot be supplied by relying on chemical fuels.

Even nuclear fission reactors are in trouble.

So……

They most likely used a small nuclear fusion reactor as their energy source!
This is another technology that human civilization has never mastered in its heyday!
Generation gap! The gap between my current warship and those of my opponent is even more than one generation!

The difference is like using a Maxim machine gun to fight against a swarm of airplanes, artillery, missiles and drones during World War I!
There is no way to fight this battle!

But it doesn’t matter, Li Qingsong didn’t intend to fight anyway.

Even if there is no generation gap, my main body is on Luoshen Star, and the battle takes place on the enemy's star. The two-way communication delay is as high as about 4 minutes. How can I fight?
Then why not just give up fighting! I'll just go and die, okay?

Soon, most of Li Qingsong's 250 Mercury-class battleships were destroyed. The remaining half, taking advantage of the opportunity before the enemy arrived, directly blew themselves up.

At this time, the opponent seemed to have noticed something was wrong. Through the spy satellite deployed in the distance, Li Qingsong saw the opponent's subsequent actions.

They maneuvered their warships slowly forward and began to salvage the wreckage of their own warships and conduct analysis.

This opponent is too weird. Facing the attack, they don't dodge, evade or fight back. Are they really here to die?
Given these suspicions, it was normal for them to conduct follow-up inspections. And Li Qingsong didn't expect to be able to hide it from them.

That’s right, the so-called “Mercury-class battleship” that he sent to attack the enemy’s lair on Planet Earth was actually not a battleship at all!

The machine guns, cannons, missiles, radars and other equipment on them are actually just empty shells, just for show and are of no use at all.

They are simply disguised as the cargo ships they used before with a different shell.

The real Mercury-class battleships are still hidden in the ground factory at this moment!

They are just some obsolete and dilapidated cargo ships. They are sent to die, so Li Qingsong doesn't care.

As long as it can delay time!
In the spy satellite's field of view, Li Qingsong saw that several warships that came to inspect the battlefield returned to the mother ship in a somewhat frustrated manner.

If he wasn't so furious, why would he have fired a few more shots at the wreckage as a way of venting his anger?
What will they do if they find out they have been cheated?
Li Qingsong continued to watch closely.

A few days passed, and those unknown warships were still guarding the mother ship and did not leave, so Li Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he had guessed right again.

As expected, the enemy chose to continue defending and waiting for the arrival of their second fleet.

Li Qingsong thought that the enemy's choice was very reasonable.

After all, the first fleet had no combat effectiveness and was a complete fraud, but who could guarantee that the second fleet would be equally incapable of combat?

Maybe this is the enemy's idea, to use a fleet without combat effectiveness to deceive them, making them think that the second fleet is also a scam, and thus give up the defense of their homeland?
Since we have already waited for several months, why not wait a little longer until the second fleet arrives? No matter whether they are warships or disguised cargo ships, they will all be destroyed. Then we can go on an expedition to the enemy's homeland without any worries.

Under such circumstances, Li Qingsong hesitated for more than a month before the second batch of 25 small fleets finally arrived near the enemy star and completed the assembly, and then launched another charge.

It wasn't that Li Qingsong didn't want to linger any longer, it was simply that he couldn't. If he continued to linger, the enemy might really launch a desperate attack.

But it doesn't matter. At this moment, Luoshen Star's own mainland has completed the subsequent arrangements and done what needs to be done. The second fleet can go and die.

The course of this battle was once again predictable. 250 cargo ships disguised as warships were all destroyed in less than a few hours.

With the help of the spy satellite's vision, Li Qingsong saw his opponent's subsequent actions.

A total of 45 warships gathered around the mother ship with unprecedented efficiency, completed the supply in the shortest time, and completed the assembly in the shortest time. The next moment, they started the engines at the same time, and couldn't wait to embark on an expedition to destroy their annoying opponent.

But the next moment, Li Qingsong saw that these 45 powerful warships, which were at least two times ahead of his own, stopped advancing at the same time and returned to the mother ship in a panic.

Although there was no information exchange between the two sides at this moment, Li Qingsong seemed to hear their roars of shock and anger.

"What's going on? What's happening?!"
