1335. Secret Weapon (Part 2)
Semirres Planet outer orbit, Galactic Republic Fourth Army main fleet flagship.
"Sir, we have drones approaching the three warships that appeared at the edge of the galaxy that you asked me to monitor, but they were quickly shot down. The optical images are being transmitted now and there are still 5 minutes to receive them." A radar soldier came to Fleet Adjutant and said to him.
Soon, the optical image was transmitted, along with the most basic data.
Among the three warships, the middle one is 1,550 meters long. The overall shape is like one body and looks like a long sword. However, at the bow of the ship, a huge opening was installed somewhat abruptly, which somewhat destroyed the overall beauty of the warship.
The other two ships are 1,254 meters long. The upper part is rounded in shape, but the lower part is roughly rectangular. From a distance, it looks like a bird crouching on the ground.
The adjutant pondered, "These three battleships are obviously capital ship level. Why not jump directly to the edge of the gravity well of Semirres Planet, and then join the formation of Trench? Are you leaving the formation like this to watch the show from a distance? They are now at the edge of the galaxy and cannot do anything at all."
He walked towards Fleet Commander General Davis, wanting to seek his opinion, "General, I detected those three battleships..."
Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!
The communication soldier loudly said, "General!! There is a situation!! All of our Clone Army have lost contact!! Master Radul has also lost contact!!"
General Davis was shocked, "This is impossible! We just received the report from the Clone Army 10 minutes ago! Everything is normal!! There is no way that something can cause them all to lose contact within 10 minutes!"
In panic, the movements of the three warships were directly ignored by General Davis.
Anyway, a new batch of reinforcements has arrived, and he still has 56 Hunter Class Battlecruiser and 120 small and medium-sized warships in his hands. In the face of such a powerful force, the three thousand-meter-class battleships were all alone and would never cause him any trouble.
"Send additional fighter formations immediately! Conduct on-site investigation of the Capital District battle situation!"
"What's the status of the battle in each natural army's direction?" General Davis immediately began to respond, "There are also Wilhuff-Master Monn! Contact him immediately! Hurry!!"
However, misfortune never comes singly, and the adjutant received another news!
"Sir! It has been detected that the warship in the center is charging!" the radar soldier monitoring the other side said loudly.
"Charging! No! When did this happen?!" The adjutant reacted immediately.
"According to the time, this is information from 16 hours ago! Because they are at the edge of the galaxy, 0.019 light-years away from us, it will take 16 hours for the data to be transmitted back at the speed of light!" said the radar soldier.
As soon as the adjutant heard this, he didn't care anymore. He rushed forward and pulled General Davis over. He almost shouted in his ear, "General! We are under attack!!"
"Attack? Where's the attack!" General Davis was staggered and furious. If the war situation hadn't been urgent, he would have slapped him in the face.
However, before he finished speaking, the answer had already arrived!
It suddenly became bright outside the porthole without any warning! An extremely dazzling orange-red light instantly illuminated Hunter Class Battlecruiser, one of the Fourth Army Main Fleet formations!
This light was so dazzling that some warship operators who witnessed this scene through the portholes covered their eyes and screamed loudly. They were temporarily blinded by the strong light!
This light shone for about a second and then gradually extinguished, became thinner and dimmer, and turned red in color. In the end, it was even obvious that this was not a single light, but a spiral energy track surrounding the direct light!
As for the Hunter Class Battlecruiser that was illuminated, thick smoke began to billow from the ship!! Deflector Shield was destroyed, and many parts of the outer armor were also damaged. It is foreseeable that with the protective capabilities of Hunter Class's single layer of armor, it will definitely not be able to withstand it again!
"Where did the attack come from!!" General Davis grabbed the adjutant's shoulder like an angry lion.
"It should... it should be the one in the middle of the three warships at the edge of the galaxy that launched it! We just received the news that this warship was charging 16 hours ago!" the adjutant said quickly, "They were charging 16 hours ago, and 16 hours later, the news of charging arrived almost at the same time as their attack! This is a light speed attack!"
"Light speed attack?! Is it Energy Weapons? Impossible! How could Energy Weapons have a range that can span half of the planet system!!" General Davis's face turned pale.
His fear is not unreasonable, because the theoretical maximum range of Hunter Class Battlecruiser is 10 light minutes, and it is already difficult to guarantee the power at this range. And this is the range of the heavy Turbolaser gun!
The heavy Turbolaser cannon does not fire pure light speed, but plasma explosive gas, so this is actually a half-Energy Weapons of Sublight.
As for the pure Energy Weapons laser cannon, the current Galactic Republic technology has no range that can exceed 5 light minutes!
But what was the range of the shot just now? 0.0019 light years! Equivalent to 16 light hours! It is nearly 200 times the maximum range of the Galactic Republic laser cannon!!
General Davis suddenly reacted and shouted loudly, "Quick! All battleships leave the place immediately! Move!!!"
However, his words were still a step late, and the extremely dazzling light lit up again, and once again shone on the Hunter Class Battlecruiser just now!
This time, there was no luck. With the rays of light, the Hunter Class Battlecruiser exploded from top to bottom, turning the entire ship into a huge fireball!! A fireball mixed with countless molten armor molten iron!!
And General Davis's order was also implemented, and all Republic fleet's warships began to move away from their original positions.
Soon, the third and fourth attacks came one after another, all of which were illuminated on the wreckage of the Hunter Class that was destroyed just now. Obviously, the opponent also doesn't know the effect of the attack, nor does he know how many shots of this terrible laser weapon are needed to destroy a Hunter Class, so he just keeps attacking the same place.
Without using hyperspace communication, it would also take 16 hours to transmit data back from here.
However, neither Galactic Republic nor Confederacy of Independent Systems has tactical-level hyperspace communication capabilities, because this requires the construction of an independent hyperspace communication base station.
But that's exactly what it is, Republic fleet has no way to counter this ultra-long distance light speed Energy Weapons shot!
Because when you get the news that the other party is firing, the other party's attack also arrives at the same time.
After thinking about this, General Davis felt fear! If this weapon can be mass-produced, then all the current Galactic Republic warship designs and tactical planning will be completely overturned!
"Send out a combat formation immediately! Rush over and kill those three warships!!" General Davis roared.
