Vol 4 Chapter 1366: Unreasonable "fairness", battlefield game

boom!
"The Intrepid energy shield shattered, the port side armor melted through, and we need to temporarily withdraw from the battle!"
With a roar of artillery, the captain of the Dreadnought issued a report to the flagship, and then began to slow down and leave the fleet to prepare for emergency repairs.
As the distance got closer, the fleet was bombarded more and more times.
"Captain, after entering the 50-light-second zone, the effect of fleet maneuvering will get worse and worse, what should I do?"
Eve looked at the control screen, and more and more red blocks appeared on the schematic diagram of the 24 warships.
The place that appears in red is the area where the damage occurred under the attack.
The yellow area is slightly damaged and can continue to function as a block.
When the red and yellow areas reach a certain proportion, the warship needs to withdraw from the battle for emergency repairs, and then rejoin the battle after the repairs are completed.
"30 light seconds, at least penetrate to a distance of 30 light seconds." Fang Yuan stared at the battle.
"No, all the firepower of the planetary fortress hits us. If we continue to advance, the battle damage will exceed the critical value." Eve felt a little unable to withstand it.
Because of the land-based light cannon on the planetary fortress of the Palestine Galaxy Far Star Empire, only the human expeditionary fleet was attacked.
In a short period of time, it is equivalent to the human expeditionary fleet being singles out the planetary fortress of Palerce, and the pressure can be imagined.
Fang Yuan's eyes sank, and he quickly made a decision: "50 light-second distance, orbital shelling around the planetary fortress!"
Eve immediately took control of the fleet, began to turn, and at a distance of 50 light seconds, shelled around the planetary fortress of α217 Scutum, and stopped advancing.
Maintaining a distance of 50 light seconds and conducting shelling can effectively reduce the battle damage of the battleship.
Of course, if this continues, as the attacker, the energy and ammunition of the warship will definitely not be able to consume the planetary fortress.
Therefore, this is really the human expeditionary fleet single-handedly singled out the planetary fortress of α217 Scutum, round 50 light seconds orbital bombardment, spent to the end, there will be no chance of winning.
However, it is not the human fleet that singles out the α217 Scutum planetary fortress, and the three fleets of the Carbon-based Alliance.
At present, all the defensive light cannons of the α217 planetary fortress in the Shield only attack the human expeditionary fleet. The three fleets of the mechanical empire, the three-eyed civilization, and the photosynthetic civilization are the best time to charge.
The human fleet quickly turned, and began to bombard in a 50-light-second orbit.
As I advanced, in less than a minute, the Three-Eyed Civilization also began to slow down, and was also preparing to orbit on a 50-light-second orbit.
After this situation occurred in the fleet of the three-eyed civilization, only the mechanical empire and the photosynthetic civilization were left to charge.
Naturally, these two civilized fleets didn't want to rush to death, all the hesitations began to appear, and the speed was slowing down.
However, Varian was obviously not that stupid. He knew what the optimal solution was, so the mechanical empire's fleet only appeared hesitant, and did not immediately begin to retreat.
Seeing this situation, Fang Yuan angrily pressed the communication button, and shouted in the carbon-based alliance's temporary combat command channel: "What do you mean by Karaxi?!"
"What do you mean?" Karakxi asked calmly.
"Your fleet should now speed up the charge, approach the alpha 217 Scutum fortress, and force Duke Arden's fleet out!" Fang Yuan roared.
"Then why didn't your fleet charge? Instead, it carried out a 50-light-second orbital bombardment, and wanted me to die. You hide behind and watch the excitement. It's a good idea, but do you think I'm that stupid?" Karaksi countered confidently. hate.
"Are you really blind? Didn't you see that all the land-based gamma guns of the α217 Scutum were hitting my fleet?" Fang Yuan cursed.
"That's why you hide behind to watch the excitement and let my fleet go to death?" Karaxis sneered.
Fang Yuan saw that the other party was deliberate, knowing that continuing to argue with him would not have any effect, and immediately turned to Varian: "You don't need to explain, you should be clear, now the α217 Scutum planetary fortress is attacking my fleet sickly. Your best chance to charge is to force the Duke of Arden's fleet out. I only have this one requirement."
Varian remained calm, his mind was looking for the optimal solution, and he knew very well that Fang Yuan was right.
When a fleet is fully attacked by the enemy, it is the best opportunity for other fleets to attack.
It's just that the best solution now is not his mechanical empire fleet charging, but the three fleets charging together in the carbon-based alliance.
The reason for his hesitation was that the Three-Eyed Clan fleet stopped, so the optimal solution could not be reached.
Velian said in a mechanical tone: "Karakxi, the best solution now is that you and I, the photosynthetic civilization fleet, and the three fleets charge together. Fang Yuan's statement is not wrong."
Karaksi coldly snorted: "Let’s talk less about your optimal solution. Your optimal solution refers to the optimal solution for maximizing the interests of the mechanical empire, not mine.
"My request is very simple. Either the four fleets charge together, or they don't charge. This is the fairest way of fighting for a combined fleet."
If the four fleets are regarded as a whole, when one of the fleets resists all the attacks, then the other three fleets should initiate a charge.
This is the best cooperation for the combined fleet as a whole.
However, this conclusion can only be drawn from the perspective of the whole.
If all four fleets are selfish, then this conclusion does not hold.
Because for a selfish individual, all other individuals are going to die, and hiding behind to reap the benefits is the best solution for themselves.
Of course, when all individuals are so selfish, then the fight cannot be fought.
Therefore, in order to avoid this selfish behavior and give the battle a chance to win, then the four individuals need to reach a "fair" agreement, that is, all charge, no one can retreat.
From a certain perspective, this kind of unreasonable "fairness" is right, and it is the best way to avoid selfish behavior.
Of course, in actual operation, this kind of "fairness" is actually very unfair to some individuals.
Just like the current human fleet, because the hatred is too full, causing the four fleets to initiate a charge, Pallete only fights the human fleet, regardless of the other three fleets.
This makes the situation a game.
Everyone knows that Karaksi's behavior is very insidious, but from the perspective of compulsory "fairness", it is difficult to pick his logic error.
Vilian saw that the matter could not be debated for a while. Under this circumstance, if the fleet continues to charge, it is likely to enter a dangerous area, so he also began to turn the fleet and circle the 50-light-second orbit.
Fang Yuan's face was ugly, and he was caught in a dilemma.
If the fleet is allowed to charge, then the battle damage of the fleet will be very high if the planetary fortress of α217 Scutum only attacks the human fleet.
If you don't initiate a charge and let the battle remain deadlocked, the battle is likely to change.
When the situation was getting more and more critical, Han Youwei handed a piece of print to Fang Yuan.
Seeing the data on this piece of paper, Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly revealed a stern look.
