Chapter 185: Alien Civilization's Response

After the six Dongfeng-26 missiles were launched, they flew higher and higher into outer space, then returned to the Earth again and flew towards the Arabian Sea.

【Missiles continuously controlled.】

Under inertial navigation, the six Dongfeng-26 missiles were getting closer and closer to the three Type 3 warships. When the ballistic missiles entered the interference range of the Type 3, the data link between the missiles and the command center was disconnected.

The ballistic missile relied on inertial navigation to fly towards the predetermined area, and the warhead began to maneuver continuously, which gave it extremely strong penetration capability. It rushed towards three Type 18 ships on the sea at a terminal speed of 5440 Mach (3 meters/S).

In the command center, everyone was staring at the screen, wondering whether these six missiles could successfully destroy the Type 3 alien civilization. After all, the Dongfeng 26 can carry a 1.8-ton warhead, which has the energy to destroy the opponent with one blow.

hiss!
The air is torn apart by the DF-26 warhead, and the sonic boom will be heard 18 seconds after the missile flies out. Under the high-speed friction with the air, the missile warhead lights up with an orange-red light and performs irregular maneuvers to avoid possible interception lasers.

"Is there still no movement from Type 3?" The commander looked at the alien spacecraft, which showed no reaction to the incoming missiles.

Judging from previous local conflicts, these alien civilizations seem to have a slow reaction speed when facing hypersonic missiles. This is probably because they have never encountered such bombardments of supersonic ballistic missiles, and are completely unadapted and have no experience, just like humans facing mature high-energy laser weapons.

"Report to the commander, there is no response from inside the Type 3"

What are they going to do?
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, when the ballistic missile was 3 seconds away from the three Type 30 ships, the surrounding Type 1s seemed to have received some instructions, changed their previous flight trajectory, and quickly flew towards the top of the three Type 3 ships. Then, like pixels, a three-dimensional multi-layered solid box-shaped shield was opened above the Type 3 ships.

This interception method is no different from the Americans' hard interception, except that the Americans are just using PPT, while alien civilizations are actually doing it.

Then, the 200-meter-level Type 3 also changed. The top of the huge crystal unfolded, revealing a diamond-shaped device more than ten meters high inside. Then, this diamond-shaped device floated to a height of 200 meters from the crystal.

Dazzling laser beams were fired from several Type 3 ships, shining on the crystals, lighting up with a star-like brightness. Then, the crystals gathered energy and a thick beam of energy rushed towards the sky.

Swish!
After the energy rushed out for a distance, it quickly spread out in all directions, like a huge flat skylight opening above the head.

Six Dongfeng-18 missiles with a Mach number of 26, no matter how they changed their flight paths, their final destination was fixed. Two ballistic missiles slammed into the barrier composed of Type 1 missiles. Under the most primitive kinetic energy impact, the Type 1 missiles blocking the road were shattered by the terrifying kinetic energy, and a large number of colorful fragments fell towards the Arabian Sea.

In terms of speed alone, the DF-26 is faster than the armor-piercing projectile with discarding sabot and stabilized fins fired from a 125MM smoothbore gun. Coupled with its huge mass, it successfully penetrated the shield. However, due to the high-speed collision, the warheads of the two DF-26s were successfully deflected and fell towards the sea in the distance.

The third DF-26 hit the Type 1 missile, detonating its 1.8-ton high-explosive warhead with a bang, tearing a huge hole in the three-dimensional defense. The remaining three DF-3 missiles penetrated the box-shaped defense formation of Type 26 and continued to pour down.

It crashed into three Type 3 skyships, but it was completely different from hitting the photon wave shield. It did not feel like hitting a solid object, but like falling into a steel furnace. The high-temperature resistant warhead quickly turned red and softened, and eventually turned red. After the guidance unit was completely destroyed, the 3-ton warhead was detonated, and a violent flame exploded on the surface of the shield, and the next moment the gap was quickly closed.

After the attack of six Dongfeng-26 missiles, the Type 1 that was blown apart reorganized into a box formation, and the sky was restored again, just like an umbrella opened above the head to fight against human hypersonic weapons.

Seeing that the Dongfeng-26 attack was fruitless, the command center fell silent.

They had long been prepared for alien civilizations to be able to intercept ballistic missiles. After all, the first use of hypersonic missiles could easily destroy the enemy, but alien civilizations are also learning and will always find ways to intercept them. Now, they have found two ways.

Type 1 box defense is easy to understand, which is to use cheap drones to block incoming ballistic missiles, but the other interception method is the first time used by alien civilization.

"what is that?"

"Reporting to the commander, it should be some kind of laser scattering. Through the refraction of the prism, the laser beam is transformed from a point to a surface. This requires a huge amount of energy."

"Did they intercept our Dongfeng-26 using another form of laser weapon?"

The aliens' shield system is a headache for humans.

Human weapons have offensive and defensive capabilities that are inconsistent with their own. A main battle tank can be blown into pieces by TNT explosives of the same cost. Aliens are indeed superior to humans in this regard. Even if their defense and attack cannot be completed at the same time, their capabilities are relatively balanced.

"What would be the impact if nuclear weapons were used?"

"Commander, according to calculations, three Type 3 warships will cause a chain reaction, with an estimated detonation yield of 5000W tons. The entire east coast of Oman, Pakistan, the west coast of India, and Iran will be severely affected."

The digital sand table simulated the large-scale impact caused by the detonation of a nuclear bomb with a yield of 5000W tons. This is different from the Type 3 that was detonated at high altitude in Hawaii last time. Detonating a Type 3 at this altitude will cause serious regional impacts.

"How many ballistic missiles are needed to penetrate their defenses?" the commander asked again.

"Reporting to the commander, there is no specific reference data."

"Xiao Xi, do you think we should continue to use nuclear bombs?"

In the office next door, the old chief looked at the tactical sand table on the other side of the window and asked softly to the student standing beside him.

"Teacher, I don't know much about military affairs, but I feel that alien civilizations are constantly learning and are no longer as flustered as before when responding to our attacks."

"Yeah, if you use a trump card too many times, it's no longer a trump card."

Every time humans use a nuclear bomb or hypersonic weapon, alien civilizations will better understand the characteristics of human weapons, but they have not yet come up with their own strategic weapons. This is what the old leader is worried about.

After only a few encounters with ballistic missiles, the preliminary interception plan has been completed. No matter how primitive it is, it will be gradually improved under the intelligence of civilization. It is very likely that in the future, ballistic missiles will be intercepted by high-energy laser beams during the ascent phase.

"We need a less expensive way to fight."
