Chapter 1478: Program

The sovereign hub of this world is a man-made small galaxy. Since it is an artificial object, it naturally does not conform to conventions. This galaxy has no stars. It consists of a pair of dark twin stars and orbits in complex orbits deployed around the twin stars. It consists of a large number of space fortresses, not counting those fortresses that may be hidden in space folds and ready to hit cold guns. There are currently thousands of large-scale defense stations that can be identified. These seem to be large space facilities like stacked frisbees. It is one circle larger than the eternal class mother ship. It relies on massive drones and heavy fortress missile launchers to operate. They run on the high orbit of the sovereign hub. The fire coverage area of ​​each space fortress is at least five or more other. The fortresses cross directly, even if you don't use overtime firepower, there are no gaps. These behemoths are the defense system of the sovereign hub itself. They are strong and resistant, and powerful-their drone groups can effectively deal with fast assault ships and the like. Invading troops, and heavy fortress missiles can cause damage to motherships like the Eternal Killing, at the same time there are some special types of scanning tower hidden in these covert force field Battlestar, we sent a ship to go stealth bombers almost suffered heavy losses.
The mobile unit of the fallen apostle cooperated with these sturdy space bunkers to form an additional line of defense for the sovereign hub. The enemy fleets of the three integrated regiments all gathered in the low-earth orbit of the pair of twin stars. The fortress intercepted almost all of the Emperor's assault ships, so the enemy's fleet could shrink behind the line of defense and use the main gun to attack us.
The dazzling beam of the Xinghe Cannon will frequently illuminate the deep and bleak space. The Empire Fleet is facing the enemy's defense line at a distance of more than 1.2 million kilometers from the sovereign hub. I think I have to announce a lesser one now. Good news:
I underestimated the defensive capabilities of the fallen apostle's space fortress. These stupid space facilities are almost as hard as Ilson's golden tortoise shell! In addition, the fallen apostles also deployed a large number of shield push towers and amplifiers around each of the space fortresses. These amplifiers have no other function. They are constantly creating mother ship-level shields. They are surrounded to create a similar joint shield. The effect of the shield is such that each space fortress is equivalent to being protected by a joint shield. The Galaxy's main gun is difficult to shake, only the fleet salvo can overload these fortresses.
However, the enemy laid thousands of such fortresses over their sovereign hub. Even if the emperor could clean them every second, the purpose of the fallen apostles to delay time should be achieved.
What's more, their main fleet has now shrunk behind the fortress formed by these fortresses. After we kill the fortresses on the high orbit, we have to deal with those guys-I am afraid that by then the emperor's number advantage will be nothing left. .
Our initial combat plan was as follows: rush into the abyss area with sufficient soldiers, then capture a world as soon as possible, wait for the battlefield to stabilize, and then transfer the Celestial System Fleet and Sandora's Vengeance Fleet from the empire, and use the Celestial System The fleet began to expand the front for the outpost. This last point is particularly important, otherwise how could the legions we are carrying now sweep across the abyss.
If we can't get rid of the sovereignty hub of this world as soon as possible. That whole plan is stuck.
"It seems that we have picked a bone that is not very good, which is really bad luck," Sandora frowned. "This universe should be a fortress world. It must be an important node on the border of the fallen apostles, and it may even be Defense headquarters of other universes. "
"Thinking about the good side, we can open a bigger gap by knocking this place down," I want to give Sandora some psychological comfort. "Look at the number of this maddening fortress. Below. A sovereign hub must be an important node. Maybe there are keys to other universes-just like our key worlds that have direct access to the capital. How much work can we save if we knock this place down ... "
I haven't finished talking yet. I saw a glare flash on the holographic projection in the center of the command hall, followed by a shock under my feet.
"What happened just now?" Sandora immediately asked, and Bubble's voice replied in the ship-borne radio: "One third of the enemy's fortress gave us a round of volleys with heavy missiles, but fortunately the joint shield Firm. Only some nodes are overloaded, no big deal. "
"Are those fortresses special models?" Sandora looked at the space structures of the discs and discs on the holographic projection in wonder, "Such a fierce firefight. They even saved firepower and secretly prepared a volley ... "
"Attention, the drone group is approaching!" The warning radar again issued a warning. As soon as I looked up, I was seeing swarms of small aircraft swarming from the enemy's space fortress. These aircraft were slightly smaller and more compact than the individual combat aircraft. It's like there are four pairs of swept-wing rugby balls, which are rushing out from the upper ejection nests of each space fortress. They look like a swarm of bees preparing to go out for a carnival. They keep short distances during the flight. The leaping speed accelerated, and in an instant came the Empire fleet, and then began bombing our joint shield in the same way.
There are high-speed processing plants in those battlements. They can make a batch of such suicide drones every ten minutes. Suicide drones are not equipped with any weapons. They only have a set of amazingly efficient propulsion devices, and they are full of instability. Phantom Crystal, these cheap and annoying little devil are very fragile. Basically any type of anti-aircraft fire can drop them. However, its huge number and speed of birth are very headache.
Not to mention that they are not weak at all on the joint shield.
Frontier fortress ships on the perimeter of the fleet opened their anti-aircraft armor belts. Dense anti-aircraft guns started firing wildly at these little devil. Expedition-class warships deployed a large number of guard turrets on the flanks to intercept as many endless as possible. Self-exploding drones, and various motherships also opened their carrier hangars. Assault ships and individual fighters began to rush out in groups to clean up these dangerous detonators. These overwhelming small explosions were under joint shields. Thousands of surges were so excited that the external monitors became blurred by strong interference. However, although the self-exploding drones are annoying, they are too fragile. In addition, God's air defense fire is abundant. After all, this wave of attacks did not cause us much harm.
However, by the time these batches of self-exploding drones are cleaned up, those Battlestars have already produced the second batch of drones ... so they cycle again and endlessly.
A second round of heavy drone missiles is likely to come with the second batch of drones.
"It's not the way to pull the saw." I didn't expect that the emperor who had the advantage in quantity would be dragged by the tower defense tactics of the fallen apostles, and frowned almost like China. "Even if we can point out their fortresses one by one By that time, the reinforcements of the girls should have come soon ... but we still have several batches of fleets in the empire area waiting to teleport to this side, how can we do if the bridgehead can't be beaten? "
"You have to find ways to take those fortresses offline ... The fallen apostles' biggest support now is those things," Sandora frowned, as she looked at the space fortresses and quickly queried on her data terminal, Then suddenly connected to the sixth fleet, "Vincent. Do you know any weaknesses in those forts?"
At the beginning of the formation of the Sixth Fleet was a "expert force" dedicated to combating the fallen apostles. A considerable part of its senior commanders and combat consultants were former fallen apostles, and Vincent Carlow was naturally among them.
"This kind of fortress was designed by the chief technician Occam himself. It is very different from the model of the old empire, and after Occam's death, these forts have been improved many times by his successors, so now we also I do n’t know if they have evolved those aspects,
Vincent's face appeared on the communicator,
but their general framework should not have improved much. The most significant change between these forts and the old empire model is the cancellation. All the phantom artillery guns and the vacated turrets have been converted into heavy missile silos. In addition, Occam has also restructured their interiors. The extra effective space is equipped with new models of drone production lines and missiles. Assembly line ... "
"Missile assembly line?" Sandora raised an eyebrow. "Even those heavy missiles it fired were processed on-site in the fort?"
"Yes," Vinson nodded characteristically. "It has two sets of ammunition supply methods, one is a conventional time-space bomb chain. The ammunition is transferred from the ammunition warehouse by means of space-time transmission, and the second is a production facility. The missiles are constantly being assembled on-site at lower speeds. So even if their overtime supplies are shielded, there will always be ammunition available in these forts-just a little reduction in launch efficiency. "
"No wonder they can also fire missile volleys with more firepower, more launchers, more ammunition supplies, cancellation of artillery designs, and comprehensive enhancement of missile power ... That Occam is really dead. "Anson," Sandora's mouth twitched slightly. "There must be time to drill. There is no perfect weapon in the world ... Vincent, you said that these forts do not have artillery, which means that their attack speed and near Will defense be low? "
"The attack speed is indeed affected. Without high-speed turrets, it is difficult to attack quickly with heavy missile launchers alone," Vinson nodded characteristically. "But the near-defense capability has not decreased much. Occam uses massive drones to make up for it. Due to the lack of high-speed turrets, the defense capabilities of these drones are also very strong. Now those fortresses are actively attacking with drones, but if imperial assault troops approach the fortresses, these drones will instantly switch to the defensive state. , They are not weaker than the anti-aircraft gun positions. We have tried this just now, and the assault troops cannot approach the fortress at all. "
"Those drones need a ten-minute production cycle," Sandora said with an eyebrow. "As long as you can clean up all the drones produced in one round in ten minutes, those forts will have a defense gap."
"It's 'near defense gap', Your Majesty." Vincent corrected it very seriously, presumably everyone did not forget that the Carlow brothers were coming from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Okay, then close to the gap," Sandora waved indifferently. "Now we have found a breakthrough point, Vincent, talk about your suggestion. If you can break through the fortress's near defense circle, how can you let these people Is it temporarily abolished? "
Vincent thought about it carefully, and then he looked up: "Sir, we can consider taking these forts temporarily offline. This planetary defense facility is automatic and controlled by the fort hosts, and these hosts use In a distributed network, each bastion host can be regarded as the host of the planetary defense circle, and at the same time, they are terminals. All bastion hosts are all level in the entire defense system-that is, the highest command host is cancelled. This This design was originally designed to improve the survivability of the planet's defense circle. Because there is no highest command host, it will not cause all the fortresses to get out of control because the control center is destroyed. No matter how many distributed hosts we destroy, its remaining calculations will always be able to The planetary defense circle is guaranteed to run, but this distributed network has a flaw: although it eliminates the highest order host, it still needs a 'source' that can issue the highest order, and this 'source' can be polluted. "
Sandora showed an interested look: "This 'source' doesn't actually exist, right?"
"Yes, it's a protocol-like thing, and it exists widely in the entire network of the planetary defense system," Vinson nodded characteristically. "Each bastion host has this protocol installed. When the bastion group needs to fight externally, They use a random host as the highest instruction source and rely on a series of complex forwarding methods to achieve the coordinated action of the entire network. When the fortress where the random host is located is destroyed, the network will immediately generate a new host to fill the gap. The process is also designed by Occam and theoretically foolproof. "
"Theoretically," Sandora smiled. "Most of the theoretical things can be broken, so to speak. Do you have a way to terminate these fortress forward attacks?"
Vincent pointed to his own chest: "His subordinates are Herald's high-level generals, and Her Majesty was one of the great warlords in the abyss. We have had many of these fortresses, and we know it stopped. Key. "
Suddenly I was surprised: "Do these things still have brakes?"
"It's not a brake. It's a stop key," Vincent corrected me with seriousness. "Every weapon should have insurance. Of course, this kind of automatic and powerful defense bunker is more important. A stop key can make a fortress. All the mainframes are down and used to overhaul the system or upgrade the agreement to the network. "
At this time, another violent shock came from his feet: the enemy's space fortress once again bombarded Emperor's joint shield with heavy missiles. As before, the enemy's attack was still unable to break the defense of the emperor. In turn, it is difficult for us to destroy that sovereign hub in a short time. This shock once again made everyone realize that the current situation of sawing must be broken. Sandora glanced at Vincent on the communicator: "Then there is The last question-you have been away from the fallen apostle camp for a long time, how can you ensure that this key is still available? If I were the chief of defense of the fallen apostle, once a key officer like you falls into the hands of the enemy, the first thing to do The thing must be to reset all host passwords on the line. "
Vincent smiled confidently: "Of course they will reset the keys, but their subordinates have the confidence to crack it. The subordinates have worked with Occam for many years and have been in charge of managing these space fortresses. They know this set. The rules for solving the keys. And cracking the keys is not the hardest part-the hardest part is knowing what part of the defense system works.
"It's not the key you need, but the keyhole ..." Sandora nodded. "You have to sneak into those forts to hack them, right?"
"There is no other way," Vincent replied, "We have lost the ability to control the equipment in the abyss zone through the spiritual network. The only feasible solution is to enter those space fortresses. As long as one is cracked, the distributed network will work. leftover."
"Well, this solution is feasible," Sandora stood up, then frowned and looked at the space fortresses that were starting to release the drone group again. "The trouble is those drones ... the big spaceship can't carry the fortress missiles. The small spacecraft can't stand the drone group, and all drones must be destroyed within ten minutes to find the neutral position to send people in. Vincent, I'm afraid your people won't be able to get through if you force them. "
I heard from the side, now that those professional things ca n’t find a chance to intervene, at this time I finally talked about the desperate link, and I knew that it was time for me to get out of the way. Is n’t this the case of my big vanity family? Aphorism: Open a big deal in case of uncertainty, or send a tower indefinitely ... Now this should be considered a tower?
Oh ~ EbookFREE.me ~ this statement seems not very auspicious ...
"I escorted the expert," I stepped forward and patted Sandola's shoulder. "You certainly can't find a bodyguard that is more resistant to me. In the first few minutes you desperately destroy the drone, wait for those little ones When the number of gadgets was almost the same, I personally escorted Vincent's people in the past. With such a large battlefield and such a large space, I didn't believe what it would be difficult to send someone in the past. "
Sandola glanced at me. She was trying to persuade me by visual inspection, but she soon remembered my usual habit of throwing my arms away. In the end, I didn't say anything. I just squeezed my hand firmly: "Millions Be careful. Once you break through and you do n’t make it, you can withdraw immediately. We ca n’t break this line of defense by conventional methods ... it ’s just a long time. resurrection……"
I patted Sandora's hand with a smile: "Relax, I'm a miracle man, give it to me here, I will definitely come back alive, let's wait for the battle ..."
As soon as I said halfway, Xiao Xueteng skipped next to her. She grabbed my mouth and tried to jump on it: "Dad, you can't be so inferior! Nether creatures can't die ..."
Me: "..." (To be continued ...)
