Galactic Almighty Evolution Chapter 1965: The first wave of attacks
As the Borg fleet slowly enters the gravity well of the new Bragg star, the first to greet them is the drone swarm of the Interstellar Federation!
"Swish swish swish..." The UAVs of the Interstellar Federation inherited their usual characteristics, and they also use phased missiles as their main weapons, especially those bombers, although they carry heavy phased missiles without warships. The missiles launched are large in size, but they are equally powerful. Coupled with the effect of phase missiles that ignore shields, their lethality is much stronger than that of carrier-based aircraft that use energy weapons.
However, the Interstellar Federation UAVs that use missiles as their main weapon also have a fatal flaw, that is, the continuous capability is severely insufficient. After all, the space occupied by physical missiles is very large, and the number of missiles that each carrier aircraft can carry is very limited. , So after hitting the missiles, they must return to the mothership for resupply, instead of continuing to fight like unmanned aerial vehicles using energy weapons.
Although drones using phased missiles have the Achilles’ heel of continuous combat, they are perfect for launching a wave of death attacks!
Humans have been using phased missiles for quite a long time. Humans have very rich experience in the tactics of phased missiles. Therefore, under the command of the UAV Control Center, these ship-based UAVs have a dense fleet A fierce charge was launched against the Borg fleet.
"All air defense ships have full firepower, and the vanguard has the largest load of the bow shield!" Don't think Barney is a military idiot, but there is a deputy commander in the fleet! These deputy commanders are actually the original supreme officers of these fleets, but when these big engineers are transferred to the fleet, they must be the real commanders in their identities, so the original fleet commanders can only be subordinate to their deputy positions. Up.
Although Barney and other major engineers are named full-time commanders, most of them are very self-aware, especially when it comes to their own lives and safety, they certainly don’t dare to mess around, so the fleet Naturally, the command power fell back to the hands of the original commanders.
Different from the guys in these spaces like Barney, the commanders of their deputy positions are all from a science class. They were promoted level by level. They participated in the previous battle to unify the other half of the universe. He has fought countless battles and has a wealth of combat experience.
So facing the carrier fleet of the Interstellar Federation, the Borg fleet did not panic at all. If someone insists on panic, it is Barney himself.
Soon, the Borg's fleet opened up. Before the Interstellar Federation's carrier fleet arrived, their air defense ships had already arrived in the front row and were ready to intercept.
Moreover, the carrier-based aircraft of the Borg people have also begun to be released. A large number of carrier-based aircraft have swarmed out. Unlike the pure drones of the Interstellar Federation, the carrier-based aircraft of the Borg people are a mixture of manned aircraft and drones. In general, a manned carrier-based aircraft is the core, supplemented by eleven unmanned carrier-based aircraft to form a squadron to conduct operations.
As the core of the manned fighters, the drones can give instructions to them to cooperate with the manned fighters to complete the attack on the enemy. This kind of grouping method has an advantage over the pure UAVs of the Interstellar Federation, that is, their combat radius. It's much farther.
After all, the pure drone of the Interstellar Federation needs to be controlled by the command center on the mothership behind. If the distance is too far, it will be easily interfered, causing the drone to only attack according to the established program. In that case, no one The combat effectiveness of the aircraft will be greatly reduced.
The Borg people’s hybrid formation of drones and manned aircraft does not have this shortcoming, because their drone command center is equivalent to moving forward on the battlefield, and the manned aircraft can change instructions at any time because of the distance. Shorter, faster signal transmission, so the response speed of the drone will be faster.
But the disadvantage of this is that there will be substantial casualties! It is important to know that carrier-based aircraft and battleships have completely different defense levels. No matter how strong the carrier-based aircraft is in front of the naval gun, the death rate of the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft is also quite high, especially in this type of aircraft. During the large-scale air combat.
……
Soon, the Borg’s carrier-based aircraft were also completely released. After circling a few times, they rushed up against the Interstellar Federation carrier-based aircraft.
Twenty minutes later, near the edge of the New Bragg Star Gravity Well, the carrier-based aircraft group of the Interstellar Federation and the Borg aircraft group encountered. The two sides immediately fired at each other. The high-frequency laser hit like a torrential rain, and instantly knocked out a large part of the shield of the Interstellar Federation carrier aircraft. Some unlucky Interstellar Federation fighters were attacked by multiple Borg fighters. Was destroyed!
On the contrary, the Borg fighters here were not attacked at the first time, thinking that the Star Federation fighters used missiles after all. Although they have phase transition capabilities, they are still incomparable with the ballistic speed of energy weapons. of.
The ballistic speed of energy weapons is close to the speed of light. In this kind of combat range of hundreds of kilometers, energy weapons can almost be launched and centered, while phase missiles require so few seconds.
However, a few seconds passed quickly. Before the Borg’s carrier aircraft had time to make a second attack, the phased missiles approached them, and they blew up in the dark space. A group of fireworks, the Borg’s carrier-based aircraft is simply vulnerable to a phased missile!
In fact, it’s not just the Borg’s carrier-based aircraft. Any type of fighter cannot withstand the attack of phase missiles. Even the Star Federation’s own fighters are the same. Phase missiles are too powerful to ignore the shield. After the body loses the protection of the shield, even a fighter made of biological armor cannot withstand the bombardment of heavy missiles.
So the locked Borg fighters couldn't withstand a round of blows. In an instant, they all turned into fireworks in the universe, and then dissipated into the void.
But these Borg fighters also played a role. Although they were destroyed in a round of attacks, they at least consumed a large number of phased missiles from the Interstellar Federation carrier aircraft, thereby protecting their own warships. Protect from attack.
On the other hand, although the carrier-based aircraft of the Interstellar Federation defeated the carrier-based aircraft of the Borg, the controllers on the distant mothership did not have any joy on their faces, because they lost in the previous battle. Nearly half of the phased missiles, which will cause the effect of the subsequent attack to be greatly reduced.
"Commander, the carrier-based aircraft formation requests replenishment of ammunition!" The commander of the carrier-based aircraft group asked Luo Jinhui for instructions.
"How much time does it take to return to the flight and launch an attack again?" Luo Jinhui asked.
"About forty minutes." The commander of the carrier fleet replied.
"It's too late, continue to attack according to the original plan!" Luo Jinhui said after hesitating a little.
