Spore Story

Chapter 886 Demonstration of Force

==========
"So, the effect of the first batch of shelling is unexpectedly more obvious than that of the bombardment torpedo?" Kong Huan was surprised when he got the news.

How to say that the bombardment torpedoes are close-in attacks, and then they are specially filled with high explosives. The diameter of a single bombardment torpedo has reached 500mm, which is much more powerful than the 305mm projectile fired by the 300mm super electromagnetic gun. I did not expect the actual combat results But less than others.

What's more, there are only 300 guns that fire 12mm projectiles, but there are more than 100 bombardment torpedoes!

"No, you got it wrong. It's just that the first batch of 300mm super electromagnetic gun projectiles that hit the target has a better effect on meteorites than torpedoes. But in terms of actual combat results, the first batch of 12 projectiles hit the target. There were only 9 shots on the target, and two of the meteorites that were hit were only structurally damaged and appeared to be unharmed. However, under the attack of the aircraft group, although the average harvest was not large, the overall loss was at least more than 60. A large meteorite shattered into hundreds of smaller meteorites."

"But the fleet's targets have increased, haven't they?"

"Um," the technician explaining to Kong Huan looked embarrassed. Your understanding like this is quite a blow to morale!
Of course, Kong Huan would not be ignorant of this, so he quickly changed the topic: "Practically speaking, the efficiency of shelling is indeed much higher than that of torpedoes, so what does the technical department think?"

"I just got the notification of the situation, so the technical department didn't do much research. Only someone suggested that 'this should be because the impact of the shelling is greater, so the shells were sent directly into the inner circle of the meteorite, which made it explode faster than the outer circle." better effect of torpedoes' idea."

"Very reasonable."

But Space Fantasy suddenly responded: "What I said before was only the 305mm projectiles fired by those 300mm super electromagnetic guns. What about those free-class 105mm electromagnetic guns?"

"Well, this makes people a little speechless," the explaining technician shook his head.

"Although the bombardment of these 100mm projectiles has made big holes in the meteorite, and some even have the penetration effect because of the use of special armor-piercing projectiles, coupled with the high initial velocity, but now it seems that their lethality in dealing with meteorites I'm afraid it's not as good as the 20mm rapid-fire gun of the drone, at least the rapid-fire gun can dig holes in the meteorite by relying on speed and quantity."

"Is that so... It seems that the 105mm main gun can only be used to deal with Zerg."

……

"Such a result is really speechless. But now there is no need to save so much ammunition, let the free-level continue to attack, and it can cause a little damage to the meteorite. The range of the meteor-level plasma cannon is too short, only 17 Kilometers, with the current speed of the meteorite group, I am afraid that only five or six waves of attacks will be enough."

"Yes, in fact, you don't have to be too demanding, Admiral. You can also walk by feeling the stones in the river, but the sky is empty, so it's not bad to have such a harvest."

"Oh, yes."

"Meteorite group! The distance is 30 kilometers, the third wave of shelling begins!"

After the third wave of bombardment, the electric heating of the muzzle had not cooled down, but the meteorite group had already entered the range of 20 kilometers of the fleet.In an instant, without any orders, all the meteor-star bombardment ships that were ready to launch completely adjusted their attitudes, aiming at the rushing meteorites in the mode with the most muzzles, and each muzzle began to light up slightly.

The application technology of the plasma cannon comes from the Zerg, but it does not mean that the plasma cannon of the Friends has to be made into meat balls like insects, replacing biological tissues with machinery. Not impossible.

After a burst of dazzling flashes, dozens of plasma balls with a diameter of one meter in the core area quickly flew across an interval of more than ten kilometers, dragging the lightning tails exposed because they were not very solid, and directly It hit the surface of the meteorites that blocked the way.

Everyone is paying attention to the first actual combat performance of the plasma weapon, so that the warships and even the ground space center have become silent.

"What will happen to the results of the plasma cannon?" Dia just watched quietly, not the most nervous yet.

The designers of the plasma cannon sitting in the space center on the ground are the most nervous. Many people have even dented the not-so-strong steel tabletop. Terrifying strength, if it were another biological body, it would probably be crushed to pieces directly.

Soon, the plasma cannons hit the meteorite group one after another, and the continuous bright flashes began to sweep across the meteorite group, so that all optical sighting equipment and even infrared observation devices were paralyzed.

After a few seconds, the image on the monitor gradually recovered.

"This……"

"how so!"

"This is not a good evaluation~~"

Kong Huan looked at the hit meteorites depressedly, stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, and kept shaking his head.

In the video, 90% of the plasma balls hit the target, which is nothing. The meteorite group flies in a straight line and is huge in size. It is strange that they cannot be hit accurately even if they are within 20 kilometers.But the problem is that all the meteorites that were hit, except for the meteorites that had been destroyed by the bombardment before, were shattered under the impact of the plasma ball explosion, the rest did not crack as expected.

But if it is said that the plasma ball has no results, that is not enough.

Because these solidified and dangerous plasma balls left countless large and small round pits on the surface of all the meteorites that were attacked, it seemed as if the matter there had been wiped out. Of course, this was an illusion.

"In the test, the plasma cannon is the most lethal to living organisms, and it is equally lethal to electronic objects. However, when dealing with non-living objects, it can only rely on the explosion shock wave and high-energy corrosion to produce effects. The plasma ball The power of the explosion shock wave is not great, it is only equivalent to the power of a 105mm shell attack, and the corrosive effect is very good for metal and man-made materials, but it is very poor for clay and pottery."

"In summary, the plasma cannon is indeed correct to use against the Zerg."

"Conversely, it's not suitable for attacking this kind of meteorite, right?"

"The elder is wise."

Kong Huan glanced at the technical commentator at the side, nodded and didn't say much.The most important thing is that after listening to the narrator's instant explanation, those dissatisfied people who saw the high expectations of the plasma cannon had little success also calmed down.

Looking back at the display, the group of meteorites marked on it has begun to overlap with the fleet.

Of course, the fleet wouldn't just stay there foolishly waiting for the meteorite to strike. In fact, both the airport and the fleet deviated slightly from the forward trajectory of the meteorite swarm, so when the two sides were closest, the closest battleship to the meteorite swarm was nearly a kilometer away.

Excluding the Thunder Cannon, which was known to be ineffective from the very beginning, most of the fleet's main battle weapons have already been tested against meteorites.After this time, everyone began to calm down and follow Dia's command to focus fire on a certain meteorite target with the strength of the group to achieve a quick kill effect.

At the same time, the fleet accelerated to keep up with the meteorite swarm, constantly bombarding the huge targets to prevent them from falling out of range.

As for the airport, it has not moved, because it will remain at the current altitude of 1300 kilometers in the future.
