Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 472 Pros and Cons
The pick-and-roll of the unmanned warships continued, and the humans were not polite. They directly mobilized nearby combat formations to bombard the target location. The Tianqin battleship formation poured firepower at the target location without listening for a moment.

There is no morality in the battlefield. If you are sick and can kill you, you must seize the opportunity to reverse the situation of the war.

Wave after wave of salvos turned into light that illuminated the battlefield, igniting a ball of fire at the target location. Countless unmanned warships swarmed there, just to buy more time for their flagship.

Since the beginning of the war, mankind has never had such a happy "target shooting". Almost every salvo can destroy an enemy warship. But the more this happens, the more anxious everyone on the Tianqin becomes, because time drags on. The longer it takes, the more likely it is that the opponent's flagship can complete propeller repair.

Such a scene also made Yue Yuan and other senior officials and military personnel see some shortcomings in the current configuration of the human fleet.

At the beginning, that is, at the time of first-level civilization, almost all warships in the human fleet were manually controlled. At that time, there were also unmanned motherships, self-destructing drones, detection spacecraft specially used for detection, etc. Type of ship.

Later, with the emergence of some new technologies, weapons such as positron cannons gradually retreated from the big stage. At the same time, the hugeness of magnetic thrust also made the battleships larger, creating today's battleship giant cannon fleet.

It was also during this period that mankind consciously canceled the manufacture of other types of warships, and the original motherships were no longer available. The entire fleet was almost dominated by sea-class warships.

In fact, before this war, humans thought this was nothing. After all, other ship types were simply no match for sea-class battleships. Not to mention that small-caliber main guns could not penetrate the armor of sea-class warships. Even the polarization shield was damaged due to the strike energy. Not enough to blow it up.

But now, Yue Yuan and other senior officials realize that there seems to be room for improvement in fleet configuration, and that all sea-class battleships are not omnipotent. Especially after experiencing the difficulties of the direct attack on Huanglong, this feeling became even stronger.

Well, you can also add some motherships to the guard formation, but these motherships are not responsible for offense like they were originally, but for auxiliary purposes.

As for the guard warships that accompany the Tianqin flagship, they can be made thicker and thicker according to their escort functions.

Of course, the so-called offense and defense are integrated.

Humanity may really need other types of warships.

Some engineering ships can be stuffed on the mother ship. When the Tianqin has a major malfunction during the war or its propeller is damaged like the current fleet in the interstellar trading market, these engineering ships can be dispatched to disassemble the unmanned warship's accessories. Installation for quick repair.

For example, a group of battleship formations can be built specifically for rapid raids. This formation can be made lighter and carry less fuel in order to obtain faster acceleration, or even be made into disposable crispy battleships. The purpose is naturally like this. What the Qin did today was to raid the flagship of the opponent's battleship formation.

Nano-repair robots are not capable of repairing such large parts. The fastest way is of course to replace them. It just so happens that humans are very proficient in mechanical technology and can achieve modularization in most components, so this auxiliary mothership strategy is very feasible.

All of these naturally serve various tactics in human minds. For example, in this Operation Huanglong, if there had been a dedicated raiding warship formation, the opponent's flagship might have been captured long ago.

Of course, only a fleet controlled by strong artificial intelligence and multi-line control can be miraculous.

As for the detection module, in fact, in addition to the detection module of the warship itself, the human fleet has also retained the tradition of small spacecraft detection. Under normal circumstances, these detection spacecraft are carried on capital ships, and when necessary, they will be released to conduct various detections in the stars.

Human beings can think of this, and other third-level civilizations can probably think of it as well, as long as they don't have insufficient war art like the Nair civilization. Therefore, they also need to take precautions to defend their own flagship from being raided.

In fact, although the fleet configuration of the third-level civilization has great benefits and can avoid the problem of excessive casualties of individual civilizations in the war, it is indeed easy to be targeted.

Once the flagship is destroyed, it will be like ancient wars, where the army will be disbanded after the leader is beheaded. You can't have your cake and eat it too, you have to make a choice between the two, unless you develop a self-replicating strong artificial intelligence like the Mok civilization, whose name is only known to humans.

But that form of strong artificial intelligence is too dangerous. No one can guarantee that one of the thousands of replicas will not have problems. Even if there is a thought imprint, there is no guarantee that there will never be problems during the replication process.

There is also an environment in which strong artificial intelligence exists, that is, the requirements for supercomputers must be reduced. There is no doubt that this is a different kind of strong artificial intelligence technology than today.

This kind of technology is currently not mastered by humans and the interstellar trading market. Maybe we can get something from the Silver Mist Consciousness, but now the Silver Mist Consciousness has disappeared.

Soon enough, while Yue Yuan was still brainstorming, he suddenly heard an excited voice coming from the Tianqin channel.

"Haha! Hit!"

"Blast, blast, we killed that flagship!"

"Victory belongs to us!"

Hearing these voices, Yue Yuan immediately returned to his clear state, and his pupils refocused on the projection screen in front of him. Sure enough, he saw the information feedback on it, as well as the bright light coming from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

It was at this moment that from the perspective of the detector, it could be seen that the interstellar civilization fleet that was originally entangled with the human fleet fell into a state of sluggishness.

Their weapons stopped firing, their movements became sluggish, and their movements showed flaws.

Although this sluggishness will not last long, the unmanned warships that resumed action no longer have the flexibility and precise strikes of the past, let alone perfect coordination with each other.

Seeing such a situation, how could humans not know what went wrong? The flagship must have been killed. Without the control of strong artificial intelligence, these unmanned warships activated the emergency system, and a series of intelligent programs took over.

Suddenly, the situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed.

Those warships that have lost the control of strong artificial intelligence are like headless flies running around in place. Although they still know how to fire like human warships, their accuracy and judgment in responding to human flexible movements have dropped by several levels. However, it was once possible to shoot more human shots through exquisite coordination and positioning prediction, but now it seems to have become a joke.

As a result, these unmanned warships that were originally under the control of the strong artificial intelligence were killed one by one by the human fleet, and the starry sky once again bloomed with more bright fireworks than before.

Those unmanned warships interspersed among the human warship formations have now turned into batches of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

In the starry sky in the direction of the Tianqin battleship cluster towards the Beihai battleship cluster, the battle showed an overwhelming trend. Thousands of unmanned battleships were wiped out by humans in just a few hours.

When this happens, there is no need for the humans on the Tianqin to give orders, the human's strong artificial intelligence will know what to do.
