The Federation is doomed!

Not long after, not only Wu Xiaoqing and others thought this way, but all the senior gamers in the solar system, almost the entire Federation, now think this way.

Because it was a defensive battle, before the Black Star Battle, the entire orbital layer of the Black Star had been installed by countless good-natured people to observe the battle situation, various types of artificial satellites, and many people even launched some space satellites spontaneously. Aircraft, use these aircraft to get close to the Confederate troops - to get the best view of this live broadcast of the war.

When the battle started, Changbai was on the third earth.

The Third Earth has just undergone a large-scale game upgrade, and the entire game has expanded the scope of simulation from a single planet Earth to the entire solar system.After the upgrade, the server's first large-scale activity was to simulate the progress of the war in real time on the black star in the virtual world.

Compared with the live footage of the First Earth, it is much more intuitive to directly watch the simulated footage here.If necessary, they can even sit in a spaceship of a human being, or even an intelligent body, to experience the scene seen by both sides of the war and the combatants.

Changbai is now sitting on a battleship of the Federation.

There is almost no difference between the simulated environment and the real attack ship, especially for a soldier like Changbai who has actually participated in the war, when he sat down on the console in the control room, he immediately had an illusion, as if he had really entered out of the battlefield.

All combat command signals are also simulated, and they are guaranteed to be real—this is a decision made by the federal government. They transmitted the real-time aircraft signals on the battlefield to the game server in real time.Of course, due to signal transmission, the time in the game is delayed by about ten minutes compared to reality.Of course, the federal government did this not to revitalize the game industry, but to prepare for war.

The Consul has obviously listened to the opinions of some game experts and turned this war into a show for the government. Whether it is victory or defeat, as long as all federal people can pay attention to this war in real time, and then participate in this war In the future, the government will get considerable benefits.

"Sitting" in the attack ship, the only thing that can remind Changbai that this place is not reality is that the attack ship will not be under his control - he is just watching the scenery here, like watching a completely realistic holographic movie.

The spaceship chosen by Changbai is located on the edge of the entire battlefield. It is a command ship and belongs to the 8th Fleet of the Federation.The ship itself does not undertake combat missions. The biggest purpose of appearing on the battlefield is to better collect battlefield information and provide necessary battlefield information for the commander's decision-making.

Because there is no need to participate in specific battles, the speed of this command ship is faster than other ships in the surrounding fleet. At this moment, this battleship is leading the front of the entire fleet.

The Eighth Fleet is the force responsible for the Black Star's main outer orbital defense operations. During the normal combat readiness period, it mainly performs defensive cruises around a certain high orbit of the Black Star.Now that it has entered wartime, the entire fleet has also changed from a cruise state to a formation state before an attack.

From the electronic map in the command ship, it can be clearly seen that the flight attitude of the entire fleet is being adjusted.

In space, the huge fleet is the same as the planets in orbit, no matter it is due to flight safety factors or tactical formation factors, it is impossible to concentrate into a big lump.

The more than 300 billion warships of the intelligent body have almost circled the solar system twice before they are fully deployed. This is not a deliberate ostentation, but a real need for flying in space.

In aircrafts of the level of planetary spacecraft, when each spacecraft starts, the engine will inevitably produce a large number of high-speed jet wakes.

Generally speaking, the higher the acceleration performance of the spacecraft, the higher the speed of the jet stream, and the greater the danger.

If formed densely, these jet streams pose a huge threat to the rear spacecraft. These jet streams, which can almost reach the speed of light, if they hit the surface of the spacecraft directly, will not only cause a blow effect like a speed bump to the rear ships, but even some After the energy of the jet stream is gathered, it can form a cosmic storm that can cause great damage to the planet itself, which is much more powerful than ordinary solar storms. If it is not done well, it may even cause large-scale accidents on the surface of the planet.

The concept of the so-called fleet is defined according to the space of space. In fact, from the perspective of ordinary people, the distance between two ships in the same fleet is very large, and the distance between them is about hundreds of thousands to millions of kilometers. Space——this distance can allow the ships to perform some difficult tactical actions relatively freely to avoid to the greatest extent, reduce the mutual influence of the jet stream between the ships, and roughly guarantee the communication coordination between the ships The communication delay between the two ships is only in the range of seconds.

Under such circumstances, for a single ship, it is difficult to know the positions of other friendly forces during the fleet-level cruise. The communication system of most ships can only know the nearest few ships through the ship's electronic communication system. s position.All spaceships will spontaneously and continuously announce their position information to friendly forces when they are in combat state, and most of the tactical actions with friendly ships are completed based on this information.

In terms of real absolute distances, in fact, all spaceships are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles... Even if the nearest friendly army is destroyed, it will take a few tenths of a second for the nearest nearby teammates to know, and even if they know, They will definitely not come to the rescue—in space, if a ship loses normal power, it means that it has changed from a friendly force to an uncontrollable space junk for other spaceships. According to tactical specifications, the friendly ships in the rear The ship will immediately distance itself from the ship in front, avoiding the course—and at the same time transmit this dangerous signal to other spaceships.

The signal range of the command ship that Changbai sees now is much larger than that of conventional ships, and almost half of the fleet can be seen. However, among these signals, the farthest distance has even reached tens of millions of kilometers-this It is almost at the very edge of the fleet's cruising track.At this distance, the position signal delay of each friendly ship has reached as much as half a minute, which is almost the limit of the tactical command range.

"See the enemy ahead."

With the signal sent back from the frontmost ship within the command range of the command ship, for the pilot of this spaceship, the battle has already begun.

Changbai held his breath for a moment, as if his soul was sucked into the combat spaceship in an instant. His attention was almost subconsciously focused on the signals from the friendly forces on the electronic map, especially at the front of the battle line. A ship that sends back an enemy signal.

Soon, after dozens of seconds, a small red dot appeared on the green electronic map. Experience told Changbai that the entire fleet must have encountered the enemy's dense formation.

As I said before, fleets always keep a considerable distance between each other when performing general maneuvers, which is not only conducive to the execution of tactical evasive actions, but also reduces damage to friendly forces.

But sometimes, in order to achieve a certain assault effect, especially a firepower effect, the ships will move closer to each other at a specific time, compressing the distance to within tens of thousands of kilometers, or even thousands of kilometers.At this distance, the power between the ships needs to be highly consistent with each other-just like the planes need to line up in a straight line when flying in the air, or other specific shapes.This is not for aesthetics, but to prevent each other's jets from hurting each other.

In space combat, this is the most trained tactical maneuver of all operators, and the best operators can even get within a few hundred kilometers of each other - in interstellar space, hundreds of kilometers apart The distance is almost that of flying close to each other's faces.

Sure enough, the command ship realized that the enemy was making such a tactical move, and immediately issued a warning to other friendly forces near the target. The entire fleet began to implement tactical evasion—the fleet began to split into two halves, separated from the middle.

The enemy's dense formation will then fly straight in through the separated and evaded routes. Although they cut the federal front line, they will also be surrounded by fire from nearby ships.If it was the original long star, even after receiving the reminder to evade, before making evasive actions, he would artificially create some small speed bumps to cause some troubles for the opponent's dense formation-this is considered the veterans. A little gimmick.

Soon, on the electronic map, more and more small dots representing the status of friendly forces began to change from green to yellow, which meant that they were already in the position of contacting the enemy.

In space combat, because of the delay of optical signals, it is difficult for the fleet itself to establish a system concept for the enemy.If it's just two ships fighting each other in the vast space, even a simple search to locate each other's position is impossible.All spacecraft have stealth designs, and in such a huge space, it is difficult for any radar and telescope to detect a target the size of a spacecraft.

To use a metaphor that was very popular in the fleet that Changxing was in before:

It was like two blind men trying to murder each other in the street, each holding only a pistol.

In order to prevent the other party from noticing him, the blind man will definitely avoid all noises as much as possible, and then prick up his ears to pay attention to every move from the other party.Only after you are sure of the opponent's position, will you shoot at the opponent-because the blind man also exposed his target while shooting, so he must evade immediately after shooting to prevent possible counterattacks from the enemy.

And battles and even battles at the fleet level are like tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions... or even more blind people, all on the street.

All in the dark, cautiously, groping forward, holding guns nervously in their hands.Novices are always told that in space combat, if you're not [-] percent sure, always keep silent—don't shoot, and even, don't go too fast.

Under such a combat system, everyone will hold their breath and listen to the gunfire from the direction of friendly forces-this can help them quickly determine the possible source of danger.

More yellow dots appeared, and some yellow dots at the forefront of the fleet even started to turn red.Red needs to be avoided, and the entire fleet inevitably began to become more fragmented. The original two routes became four, then eight, 8... As more and more ships began to invest In the battle, the fronts of the two sides began to intertwine with each other, and the contact surface also began to increase sharply.

Just half an hour later, one-third of the 8th Fleet was involved in the battle.

The points on the electronic map began to become dense and chaotic. Changbai knew that at this point, all the spaceships participating in the battle had been locked by several enemy ships, and their own firepower might also have locked on several spaceships, "Space "On this street, the blind men have begun to roll and shoot crazily on the ground.

At this stage, in every battleship, orders from the commander are continuously received throughout the period, and then the operators are constantly executing them.

Then, because of the energy consumed by a large amount of high-speed maneuvering and the energy consumed by attacks, the reserve energy of the spaceship will begin to drop sharply.

At this time, it can be said that the two sides have completely bitten together, and it has become impossible to escape from the battlefield. Enemy, it means that he has no chance to survive.
