In fact, when it comes to the Empire's special heavy battleships, their firepower is not even as good as the ordinary Empire's main battleships.
However, it also has abilities that main battleships cannot match, and it is precisely because of this ability that the special heavy battleship is called a ship dedicated to high-level king insects.
That was a few years ago, before Wei went all out to develop the Space Migration technology, the last project he worked on was called
Multiple Spatial Shield technology.
This is a concept that Wei came up with after studying the captured Tier 3 Queen Bug and several of his guard bugs.
Although Tier 3 Guard Bug has the basic Spatial Attack method, which can cause fatal damage to air shields, its attack is neither penetrating nor range-type.
In short, this attack can only destroy Spatial Shield. If you want to destroy the battleship, you must conduct a second attack.
That being the case, why not put multiple layers of shields on battleships for recycling?
This was Wei's original idea, and it was precisely because of this idea that a few years later, the multiple Spatial Shield technology was born.
The reason why the special heavy battleship has very weak firepower is that most of its space is used to install multiple Spatial Shield devices and multiple sets of core energy systems.
After all, Three-Eyed Empire does not have a foul energy source like Zero-Point Energy. It can only rely on more energy cores to support the huge energy consumption of the entire battleship. The weapon system can only make corresponding compromises and reduce the number of installations.
Just when the first wave of attacks against Special Heavy Fleet ended, among the battle stars behind the defense zone, Mu was nervously looking at the various feedback data.
In the final analysis, no one can say for sure how effective Special Heavy Fleet will be against Tier 3 Queen Bug without actual confrontation.
But after seeing Special Heavy Fleet who survived a wave of attacks unscathed, Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, it cannot be said that it is completely unscathed. There are five layers of multiple shields on the special heavy battleships, and there is still some damage to these five layers of shields. Most battleships have lost 1-2 layers, and some unlucky battleships have lost 3-4 layers. But in any case, the battleship body can indeed be said to be unscathed.
Moreover, don't think that the multi-Spatial Shield is just a five-layer shield. If this is the case, it cannot be called a ship dedicated to high-level king insects.
The really great thing about the system designed by Wei is that the shield can be recycled.
To put it simply, if two shields are broken in one wave of attacks, there will still be three shields available for use in the next wave of attacks, and the previous two shields will be restored again after being recharged.
In the end, the five Spatial Shield were used cyclically. Unless it was hit by Tier 3 Guard Bug one after another, it would be difficult to kill it with ordinary waves of large-scale coverage.
Of course, this technology is not without its shortcomings. Its main shortcomings lie in two aspects.
On the one hand, it consumes a lot of energy. As for the Spatial Shield, it is a large consumer of energy, not to mention the five-layer Spatial Shield. In order to meet this huge energy demand, multiple independent energy cores have to be installed in the battleship to supply energy separately, so that they can barely meet the needs.
On the other hand, due to the installation of multiple Spatial Shield systems and multiple sets of independent core energy sources, even if the battleship is built into the size of a heavy battleship, the space is still very tight, which also leads to constant compromises in the weapon system. In the end, the firepower is only half of that of an ordinary main battleship.
"Very good, let the conventional fleet on the defense line cooperate with Special Heavy Fleet, press forward, and kill those two Tier 3 Queen Bug!"
"Yes, Grand Marshal!"
Seeing the amazing defensive power of Special Heavy Fleet, Mu no longer hesitated and decided to seize the opportunity to try to kill Tier 3 Queen Bug directly.
When the order was issued, all the defenders in the 38th defense zone took action. They were originally just passive defense, but suddenly they started to counterattack.
The sudden change without warning made the king insect that controlled the insect swarm unable to react for a while and was caught off guard.
The powerful Gravity Cannon roared continuously among the insects, and batches of insects instantly fell into the Spatial Tear effect caused by irregular gravity, and were shattered to pieces.
In the two most critical places on the battlefield, that is, in the area directly facing the two Tier 3 Queen Bugs, four Special Heavy Fleets were resisting the constant attacks of the guard bugs while moving towards the location of the two Tier 3 Queen Bugs.
Of course, although the multiple Spatial Shield system is indeed very powerful, it is not invincible. It has suffered too many attacks in a short period of time, resulting in the five shields having no time to circulate, and it is also possible to be destroyed.
"Grand Marshal, Special Heavy Fleet is still 20 million kilometers away from the king insect, and more than 3,700 ships have been lost so far."
"Well, this loss is within the tolerable range. Once they enter the 15 million kilometers range, they don't need to wait for orders and can directly capture Tier 3 Queen Bug for me!"
"Yes, Grand Marshal!"
Staring at the huge tactical image in front of him, Mu clenched his hands into fists. Success or failure depended on this!
However, this special heavy battleship was indeed perfectly aimed at Tier 3 Guard Bug's attack and defeated it to death. However, Mu seemed to have forgotten that the one who was at war with it was not Tier 3 Queen Bug. It could even be said that Tier 3 Queen Bug was just a minor player.
As for the changes in the battle situation on the front line, Hainiyeh, who was in the rear and was in charge of the overall situation, naturally saw all the changes.
Although I was a little surprised by the Special Heavy Fleet unleashed by the Three-Eyed Empire, I didn't have any panic. After all, this kind of multiple Spatial Shield was, to put it bluntly, specifically aimed at Tier 3 Guard Bug. It could not target all high-level king insects.
The most important thing is that Hainiyeh, who had communicated with Alba before, has also sent his Tier 2 Guard Bug to the front line together with the two Tier 3 Queen Bug.
As Alba said, after becoming Tier 1 Queen Bug, he will no longer value these second-level guard bugs, so he might as well send them all to the front line to make this war end faster!
No, here's the opportunity!
With a sudden thought, the order was conveyed to the front line through the Zerg's spiritual network.
"Grand Marshal, those two Tier 3 Queen Bug retreated."
"Damn it, let's calculate it immediately. If we continue to pursue, how much will it cost to kill by force?"
"According to calculations, if Special Heavy Fleet is pursued at maximum speed, it will take at least five minutes to catch up and bring it within range. However, because it is too deep into the insect swarm, even if two Tier 3 Queen Bug are successfully killed, Special Heavy Fleet will lose at least half of the battleship!"
After the adjutant performed the simulation through Mainframe, he reported to Mu Hui.
Mu Ze frowned, a little hesitant.
