One bright spot after another appeared in the dark starry sky, looking from a distance like the faint glow of fireflies in the night sky.
However, unlike the twinkling light of fireflies, the light emanating from the distant starry sky is brighter and lasts longer. But once the light fades, it never shines again like a firefly.
So, in fact, those bright lights were more like fireworks shooting into the night sky, only without any sound.
The light is like a firefly, but it is the blossoming of life for the Nair People.
Because those were the results of the surprise attacks by the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Fleet. Some of them were the bursts of light from the destruction of the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness warships, and some were the fireworks of their own destruction, a display of their lives.
From a distance of several astronomical units, it was indeed a beautiful sight, but neither Yue Yuan nor the Grand Governor of Nair were in the mood to appreciate it.
Because a battle that could determine the fate of both sides was taking place there.
The Fourth Fleet achieved the most brilliant breakthrough, and it was precisely because they were the first to break through the outer edge of the Artificial Intelligence fleet that they faced the greatest pressure in the following period.
The warships in the Artificial Intelligence fleet that were originally meant to deal with the Fifth and Sixth Fleet also adjusted their posture at this moment, turning their main guns toward the Fourth Fleet.
As a result, in the following period, the Fourth Fleet faced pressure not only from nearby Electromagnetic Railgun, but also from more laser Energy Weapon and Positron Cannon, which were launched from light-seconds away.
Even though some were destroyed, the Artificial Intelligence fleet still had more than 47,000 warships, and at this moment, nearly half of their firepower was aimed at the Fourth Fleet.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of lights flashed across the starry sky, as if countless powerful flashlights were sweeping across the night sky. If it weren't for the space environment, such a scene could probably be described as a disco.
The current Fourth Fleet's warship group is like a group of dancers in a nightclub, twisting their waists and striking various poses with all their might, struggling to avoid the omnipresent spotlight.
Interestingly, due to the presence of Magnetic Shield and the fact that the Fourth Fleet's warships were arranged in a relatively tight formation, faint electron beams representing Positron Cannon could occasionally be seen being distorted by the Magnetic Shield of the outermost warships of the fleet. They would then make a turn in the starry sky and enter the Magnetic Shield range of another warship not far away.
Thus, a scene resembling a chaotic dance of lasers appeared. Some positron beams might have been flung out in a semi-circle within the Fourth Fleet before disappearing into space, while others took an S-shaped path in the gaps between fleets, and many followed parabolic trajectories, with some even exhibiting irregular paths.
In short, during this period, the Fourth Fleet suffered the most intense concentrated fire. In less than half an hour, the Fourth Fleet lost more than 300 warships.
The Artificial Intelligence Consciousness compensated for the problem of the main gun's small caliber by using its numerical advantage.
One after another, the Nair People warships were hit by the Laser Energy Cannon. Some unlucky warships were hit directly in vulnerable parts such as Fuel Pod and engine nozzles. The resulting secondary explosions paralyzed the warships. After the Magnetic Shield failed, they were engulfed by dozens of positron beams.
Some were luckier; after the Laser Energy Cannon bypassed the Magnetic Shield, they struck the side hull or the upper and lower parts of the relatively intact armor. These warships, dragging their red-hot armor or partially burned-through hulls, flipped belly up like diving fish and continued into battle.
They bravely aimed their main guns at the Artificial Intelligence Consciousness warship and launched a desperate counterattack.
After being trained by humans, the Nair People fleet clearly developed tactics of small-team coordination. Warships with three different main guns formed a squadron, and three squadrons formed a smaller squadron, forming a small three-team planar coordination and a large three-team three-dimensional Three-Dimensional Space coordination.
The three-in-three formation, consisting of nine warships, constantly communicates data during the battle. The three main guns complement each other, and if any enemy warship is exposed by laser Energy Weapon, another warship equipped with Positron Cannon will immediately concentrate its firepower on it.
Take advantage of its illness to kill it.
The Nair People knew the Artificial Intelligence fleet well; they knew that if they weren't dealt with, these warships, which had already lost some power or had some functions impaired, would turn their guns on them the next moment.
Such incidents occur frequently because the opposing force is Artificial Intelligence. As long as the warship's systems are not completely paralyzed and its weapon systems remain intact, it will continue to fight tenaciously and Fearless of Death.
In contrast, the fleet of the Nair Civilization did not exhibit such behavior. It was not that they were cowardly and hesitant to advance, but rather that once the Nair Civilization's warships were affected by the blast wave, factors such as casualties would cause the warships, even if they still had combat capability, to become uncoordinated for a period of time.
This would give the enemy ships an opportunity to strike, and then destroy them in a subsequent attack.
This is after humans upgraded it and with the cooperation of shipborne Combat AI. If it were the previous Nair Civilization, such a warship would have been practically withdrawn from the battlefield.
However, even if AI can take over positions where personnel are lost, it is not as flexible as an Artificial Intelligence warship.
The advantages of the Artificial Intelligence fleet are not limited to this aspect. It also demonstrates its superiority in long-range strikes and multi-formation coordinated operations, as well as its cooperation with the Nair Civilization fleet.
Yes, even after receiving training from the Allied Forces Command, the Nair People's tactical skills are still inferior to those of Artificial Intelligence.
This situation is often seen in coordinated attacks by multiple formations. Artificial Intelligence warship formations often exhibit some inexplicable movement patterns, and sometimes their firing directions are also baffling, as if they are firing randomly at the stars.
What the Nair Civilization didn't expect was that these seemingly casual movements would often become the reason to block their advance or maneuver within minutes.
The Artificial Intelligence Consciousness has incorporated all the warships into a network and controls them in a multi-threaded manner, so these warships work together very closely, just like its limbs.
The Nair People civilization fleet suffered rapid losses in these engagements, especially the Fourth Fleet. Of its 1,250 ships, nearly 400 were destroyed just as the fleet passed halfway along the outer edge of the Artificial Intelligence fleet.
