The last human in the universe

Chapter 194 Mechanical Recoil
"trap!"

At this moment, this idea appeared in Li Heng's mind like lightning.

Sure enough, we must never underestimate any enemy, we must not underestimate any civilization!
With such a large fleet, there will always be smart people in it!After eating "the enemy can find yourself, but you can't find the enemy", they also made targeted arrangements!

The enemy's fleet has also learned to maneuver randomly with extremely low power, and also learned to hide in the dark. When one's own side happens to appear near the enemy, it will immediately attack violently!
This time is considered good, after all, there is at least a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers between the two sides.If the distance is closer, only 10,000+, tens of thousands, or even thousands of kilometers away, the blow will come in an instant, and at that time, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died!

At this moment, it is impossible to escape by relying on random maneuvers alone.

"Prepare for mechanical recoil!"

Li Heng immediately roared.

"Yes!"

At this moment, while the spaceship was performing random maneuvers, the belly of the spaceship, covering the steel plate, was opened, revealing three gun barrels whose shapes were different from those of ordinary electromagnetic guns.

The electromagnetic acceleration started again, accelerating the special electromagnetic cannon projectile to an extremely high speed, and then rushed out of the muzzle suddenly.

However, in another sense, the launch of the electromagnetic cannon projectile is actually the same as the plasma beam ejected by the engine, that is, they can both act as working fluids and provide reverse thrust for the spacecraft.

The difference is that the plasma beam has extremely high temperature and brightness, which makes it easier to be detected.However, electromagnetic gun projectiles do not have high temperature and high brightness. Unless they are detected with high power at close range, it is almost impossible to be found!
This is a more covert propulsion method to change one's own course and speed.

Under the action of the mechanical recoil, the radiation released by this spaceship is smaller and more concealed, but the speed is faster than before.Under the combination of the two, the spaceship finally escaped from the rushing enemy fleet again.

But even so, one's own spacecraft was hit by an enemy electromagnetic cannon projectile, causing a loud bang in the cabin, and some fault codes emerged.

Li Heng took a look and found that these faults were within the scope of the emergency repair kit, so he was relieved.

"Luck is good after all. However, the enemy has also learned to lurk in secret, hiding this trick secretly, waiting for us to send it to the door, but it is difficult to do. It will be even more dangerous in the future..."

I was lucky this time and escaped.But what will happen next time, I don't know.And, even if he could always escape, what about the other spaceships?

At this moment, in this star field, I am afraid that some of our own spaceships have become wreckage, and many comrades in arms have probably died...

Li Heng knew clearly that this was unavoidable.

There are always sacrifices in war.

This did not arouse any fear in his heart, but aroused a strong fighting spirit even more.

Looking at the back of the cabin, those comrades who were tied with elastic ropes, were not awakened by the violent acceleration and loud noises at all, and were still sleeping, even snoring. Li Heng quickly floated to the emergency repair kit, put on Put on the space suit, and go to work outside the cabin.

The only thing that made him feel distressed was the large amount of energy and materials consumed in the previous mechanical recoil.

"Mechanical recoil is easy to use, but it's too wasteful, alas."

At this moment, among the flagships of the C-21 fleet, which Li Heng numbered, the commander became angry again.

"How is it possible?! They can escape at such a short distance? Their propulsion power is obviously not increased, otherwise we will definitely be able to observe it!"

"Mechanical recoil? You said mechanical recoil?! It's even more impossible! Mechanical recoil requires too high a level of spaceship operation, and it only exists in theory! In reality, it is impossible for soldiers to do it!"

As far as he knows, performing a mechanical recoil operation will cause a huge load on the attitude of the spacecraft, engines, weapon systems, etc., and a slight mistake will cause damage to the entire spacecraft.The reaction speed, observation skills, and tacit cooperation between each other required for this kind of operation are so high that it is impossible for a second person to learn them.

Even for humans, if they want to cooperate with each other to perform this set of operations, they must undergo rigorous training for at least ten years, and the success rate will not be high.Because of this, in reality, there is no force that specifically trains combat forces.

But now, apart from mechanical recoil, he really couldn't think of any other means for the enemy to escape.

"Could it be that our enemies have reached the point where fighters from any spaceship can skillfully cooperate with each other to complete a set of operations such as mechanical recoil in an emergency? This, our enemies, what kind of group of things are they? ah……"

At this moment, although he knew that the enemy was just a group of guys with backward technology and piloting backward spaceships, they would only hide and hide, and never dared to confront their own side directly. Knowing why, he felt a little fear in his heart.

Time passed slowly.In this piece of star field, the cruel battle continued, and there was no end in sight.

The enemy's tenacity, tactical literacy, and soldier quality exceeded Commander Lihua's imagination and everyone's imagination.

It seems that the entire universe is full of enemies, but it seems that there are no enemies anywhere.He clearly knows that the enemy is just a group of weak guys, and if he really fights, he is not an enemy of his own, but whenever his side gathers strength and tries to kill the enemy in one fell swoop, they can't always find where the enemy is.

It's like having accumulated strength for a long time, and when you punch him suddenly, it always hits the cotton.

In fact, this period of time was not without success.According to reports, as many as 67 enemy warships have been destroyed by our own side.In contrast, our side didn't even lose a spaceship, not even seriously injured.

This looks like a big win anyway. With a battle loss ratio of 0 to 67, who can say that it is not a big victory?But, but...

There was a fire in Lihua's heart, which became bigger and bigger and more prosperous.

She tried to comfort herself: "The enemy has always only aimed at the satellites to fight, so let's fight. We have a lot of satellites here, so you can't finish fighting for ten years. Your spaceship is limited, slowly. If you keep grinding, you will always be killed."

Then, a year later, Lihua received the report.

"Commander, our satellite reserve is insufficient..."

Lihua was stunned at first, and then furious: "Insufficient? How could it be insufficient? We have brought so many supplies, so let's build them if we don't have satellites!"

The total amount of materials carried on this Tianlong-class space carrier is more than 0.1 billion tons.However, a satellite, even a large armed reconnaissance satellite, has a total mass of only a few tons.Small communication satellites are even smaller, each weighing only [-] tons.

Can't build a few satellites?

The staff officer said bitterly: "A satellite is very small, but taking into account the consumption of the manufacturing process, post-delivery, and some precision equipment, on average, the total amount of materials and energy required by a satellite is almost as high as its own mass. Ten times that. Over the past year, we have lost nearly a million satellites, and the reserves are no longer sufficient..."

Millions of satellites with a total mass of several million tons.Even if it is converted into the total amount of materials and energy, it is only tens of millions of tons. Compared with the total amount of material reserves as high as [-] billion tons, it is still only a small part.

But the account cannot be calculated in this way.This material reserve of up to [-] billion tons, a considerable part of which is other types of reserves, such as water, such as various gases, energy, food, daily necessities, etc., only a small part of which can be used to manufacture satellites.

A chill appeared in Lihua's heart.

Nearly a million satellites of various types are enough to support a large-scale war... Now, there are no such satellites?

There is no loss of a warship on our side, but the satellite is almost gone?
This, this kind of situation has never happened in the entire iron-blooded star cluster.

The craziest military strategist would not have imagined such a situation.But at this moment, this situation happened to be encountered by him.

"Damn it, a bunch of idiots, are you addicted to playing satellites, aren't you? You have a grudge against satellites, right? If you have the skills, come out and fight battleships! What kind of skill is it to play satellites!"

"Build me a miniaturized, lightweight satellite! Reduce the average mass of the satellite to one-tenth, one-hundredth of what it was before!"

"Commander! Communication satellites can barely do this, but for the rest of the satellites, we have to sterilize the performance of the satellites, and it's useless to build them!"

Lihua was extremely angry in her heart, but she also knew that this was the truth.

Without satellites...how can this battle be fought?
All the battle results obtained now rely on a large number of various types of satellites to first locate the coordinates of the enemy warships, and then their own warships can destroy them.Without enough satellites, it is impossible to find traces of the enemy, and it is impossible to build a tight defense network.At that time, even if one of our warships is not damaged, I am afraid that it will not be able to prevent the enemy from approaching our mothership!
Although there are thousands of warships, they are nothing if they are scattered in space.The enemy's target is so small, when the time comes, our side will be blind and deaf!
However, the target of one's own mothership is too big, and the enemy does not need satellites and is not afraid of not being able to find themselves!

This is a natural disadvantage of defense against offense.

After waving her hand to make the staff retreat, Li Hua once again fell into thinking.

She realized that this situation could not continue.I have to make adjustments to the overall strategy again.

However, do you still have room for strategic adjustments?
How else can I adjust it?
Could it be... taking advantage of the fact that the number of satellites is still barely enough to support the battlefield strategy system, our own side should further break up the fleet like the enemy, and even start to put a single warship into battle?
In doing so, can the tactical literacy of our own fighters keep up?Especially...will the Expedition Committee agree?
