Chapter 96 Antimatter Missile, the Omnics Want to Escape
The Emerald Galaxy, with Emerald Star as its third planet.
This is the core defensive perimeter of the Emerald Galaxy defense line, and Fang Heng's main base is located here.
As the AI legion in the middle defensive line regrouped, Wang Yunfeng knew that the real battle was about to begin.
The primary objective of the previous outer and middle defensive lines was to reduce the number of enemy warships.
Although the result was less than satisfactory, nearly 20,000 enemy warships were destroyed.
Even though many of these warships are destroyers and frigates, for Wang Yunfeng, with antimatter missiles, the size of these warships is not a problem; they can all be destroyed in one shot.
How much antimatter has been produced during this period?
"Sir, on our production line, which spares no expense, we have already produced one ton of antimatter. Based on the calculation that each missile carries 5 grams of explosive, the current amount of antimatter can be used to assemble 20 long-range missiles, all of which have been installed in the defense facilities."
"Very good, these 20 missiles will definitely be enough to give the enemy a hard time."
These missiles use the latest ion engines and fly at extremely high speeds, basically reaching astronomical speeds.
Furthermore, these missiles all use stealth coatings, so there's no need to worry about them being detected by the enemy's radar.
These missiles are too large to be mounted on warships at present, so they can only be launched from land-based launch sites.
Time passed slowly, and Wang Yunfeng soon received a report from the intelligence unit.
"Sir, we have detected that the AI Legion's warships have assembled and are heading this way."
"It seems they really are preparing to attack this place. Pass the order down to have the missiles ready."
"Yes, sir."
At this distance, missiles simply cannot hit the enemy. We should wait until they get closer before launching an attack.
Of the 200,000 missiles, 150,000 were placed in the core defense perimeter, and the remaining 50,000 are all here.
Time ticked by, and Wang Yunfeng and the others in the command center kept their eyes glued to the fleet.
"Report: The AI Legion has entered the warning line and is rapidly approaching us."
"How many ships have entered so far?"
"Less than 10,000 ships."
"Continue to wait, and at the same time order the troops on site to hide their main force well, so as not to give themselves away now."
"yes!"
With 30,000 warships of the AI fleet already within the warning line, Wang Yunfeng immediately issued the order to attack.
"Launch all missiles from the rear defense line. The AI should pay attention to the allocation and avoid duplicate bombing."
5 antimatter missiles is a considerable number.
Despite its small 5-gram charge, it will annihilate itself when it reacts with other substances in the universe.
There is still no way to stop this reaction of matter annihilation.
Therefore, the warheads of these antimatter missiles all have a magnetic restraint device to fix the internal antimatter and prevent it from contacting the outer wall.
On the defensive side, after receiving the order to attack, everyone's expression turned serious.
"I order all antimatter missiles to be launched from areas A1-A5 of the defense line. Check if the radar scan is normal."
"Radar scans are all normal; the enemy warship's echoes are very stable."
"Very good. Now hand over the antimatter missile and radar to the intelligent program. We're ready to watch the fireworks."
"Yes, sir."
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief as the missile was successfully launched.
These antimatter missiles are terrifying here. With so much antimatter, a slight mishap could cause a complete explosion, and then the entire rear defense line might not even exist.
Now that they've all been launched, the enemy should be the ones worried.
In the initial stage, these missiles did not fly very fast, but after continuous acceleration, their speed quickly reached 1.5 million kilometers per hour.
After reaching this speed, it did not continue to accelerate, but maintained this speed while flying.
The AI legion is currently approaching the defensive line and has not yet entered firing range, so this missile attack is a preemptive strike.
Along with the missiles, electromagnetic railguns were also launched from the defensive line.
These electromagnetic railguns have an astonishing caliber of 500 millimeters.
After accelerating along a long orbit, it flew toward the AI fleet at a speed of one astronomical unit per hour.
Such speed is something that even Fang Heng's current shield technology cannot withstand.
Electromagnetic deflection shields use a rotating magnetic field to deflect incoming metal objects. If the object's speed is too high and the magnetic field strength is insufficient, the deflection will not be successful.
The energy shield currently has very low defensive capabilities, but fortunately, the laser cannons on the AI fleet's side also have low energy levels.
However, the current energy shield is not a true energy shield; it merely uses energy countermeasures to block the enemy's energy supply.
After the missile was launched, everyone waited in the command room.
Time ticked by, until the optical scanner emitted a burst of light, illuminating everyone's eyes.
"Ascertain the situation in the blast area immediately."
"yes!"
With all the scanning equipment in operation, the situation on site was quickly captured.
"Report: According to the scan results, our antimatter missile attack was very effective. This attack destroyed at least 20,000 enemy warships, including 10,000 frigates, 7,000 destroyers, 2000 cruisers, 1500 battlecruisers, 300 battleships, and 200 interstellar carriers."
"Such a significant victory?"
"Yes, sir. Electromagnetic weapons were also involved. According to the intelligence analysis from the scene, the enemy was likely first exposed to a dense barrage of electromagnetic projectiles. In order to deflect these powerful electromagnetic projectiles, most of their energy was supplied to the electromagnetic deflection shields. After barely managing to deflect them, the energy was insufficient to defend against the missile attacks that followed. As a result, each warship was hit by two antimatter missiles, which is why such a large number of attacks were achieved."
Hearing this, the commanders on site were very happy, but their happiness was short-lived, as the intelligence station brought in new information.
"Report: A large number of high-speed moving objects have been detected. Preliminary assessment indicates that they are an enemy electromagnetic railgun attack."
"What about speed?"
"Not high, should we activate the electromagnetic shield?"
"That's good. Activate the electromagnetic shield. The enemy wanted to retaliate, but unfortunately your acceleration coils weren't powerful enough, and the projectiles' acceleration trajectory wasn't long enough. You were given a chance, but you failed to capitalize on it."
Just as the commanders in the forward command post were expressing their feelings, the omnics in the distant omnic legion were also conducting frantic calculations.
The current situation is already very unfavorable for him. He hasn't even seen the enemy's main force yet, and his fleet has already lost more than half of its strength. The logistics supply center has not been built either. Without logistics supply, his warships will soon be wiped out. At that time, he will be a commander without troops and will be at the mercy of others.
After calculating the success rate, the AI also made a comprehensive assessment and concluded that if they continued to attack, there was a high possibility of total annihilation.
However, retreating in this way would prevent them from acquiring biotechnology.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the androids decided that they could first completely occupy the two outermost planets, and then gradually expand outwards from these bases.
The existing 50,000 warships remain their strongest trump card. As long as these warships exist, there is no need to worry about the enemy launching a preemptive strike.
After the simulation reached this point, the intelligent machines immediately prepared to retreat according to the simulation.
When the AI legion began to slow down, Wang Yunfeng immediately received the news and was overjoyed, knowing that he had done the right thing.
The longer the situation drags on, the more advantageous it will be for us. While the AI's ability to mass produce troops is indeed powerful, Fang Heng, who possesses four worlds, is no less capable of doing so.
And when they discover new worlds later, if the technology is advanced, they can continue to upgrade their technology and gain even more powerful firepower.
At that time, this machine army will be no longer a threat.
Understanding this, Wang Yunfeng did not allow them to continue attacking, but instead continued to defend.
Currently, the battlefield situation in the Emerald Galaxy is still concentrated in one area of light and has not yet covered the entire Heng Galaxy.
After all, given the size of Emerald Star, even if your fleet were to expand 100 times, it would still be impossible to surround the entire Heng system.
Soon, as the AI legion retreated, the rear defensive line returned to calm, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems the AI Legion won't be attacking here anytime soon.
Meanwhile, on the main world of Blue Star, Jiang Feng and his team are conducting new biological experiments.
Biological frigates have been around for some time now. Conventional warships and destroyers have already been built, and cruisers have begun construction. Therefore, there are no longer any major problems in the manufacture of mechanical warships.
However, in terms of biological warships, biological destroyers have not yet been developed, and the firepower and armor of frigates also need to be strengthened. These matters keep Jiang Feng and his students very busy.
However, they were very satisfied with this research life, since these people were fond of research and had high talent, so the research speed of the biological destroyer was very fast.
At present, warships, whether biological or mechanical, are all about armor, firepower, and maneuverability.
Regarding armor, research on chitinous shells has reached its limit, so new defensive facilities need to be sought.
In terms of firepower, plasma cannons have a relatively limited range of attack methods, such as acid spraying, which is too restrictive. Therefore, it is necessary to seek new attack methods.
The lack of mobility and the low efficiency of the injection chamber necessitate the search for new alternatives.
Fortunately, these are things to be considered later. At this stage, we just need to keep stacking armor, firepower, and mobility.
