Chapter 496

Since the era of thermal weapons, physical armor has been gradually eliminated by the era.

Whether guns, gunpowder or more advanced energy weapons, they have the ability to break the defense of the target beyond one level.

During World War II, the thickest armor reached 650mm, and the Daiwa, known as the world's first battleship, ended up being sunk by air bombs and torpedoes. Its sinking marked the end of the era of big ships and artillery, and also announced the complete imbalance of attack and defense technology.

Next, the development history of large-scale weapons in various countries is developing in the direction of "hiding deeper, running faster and playing more accurately".

After entering the interstellar era, Gemini civilization developed force field shield technology, which rewrites the embarrassing situation of protection technology. However, although space warships are also getting bigger and bigger, Gemini has never thought of using thickened armor to improve the defense of spacecraft.

Before there was no breakthrough in material technology, the increase in armor thickness could bring little improvement in defense, and the input and output were completely out of proportion.

However, for the elderly, the huge body with strong recovery ability is a super meat shield against high blood thickness.

Only the dense branches and leaves stacked one after another have a thickness of two or three kilometers, and their protection ability is no less than that of two or three kilometers of super strength armor, forming a natural barrier.

After experiencing the "fire robbery", the water of life has fully stimulated the evolutionary potential of the elderly, and the optimized new leaves are stronger. They not only have stronger resistance to high temperature, but also evolve the low-level ability of "Photosynthesis" into a magical ability close to "primary energy absorption", which has greatly enhanced the absorption and transformation ability of microwave and high-energy photons!

Energy rays not only bring some damage, but also absorb some energy by the elders. While weakening the attack, they can also be used to speed up the repair of damaged parts. Even Nie Yun is amazed at this new ability.

In addition, the ultra-high reflectivity mechanical insect coating and the frigate level beam weapons can no longer cause too much damage to the elderly.

Of course, it is not to say that this wave of attack is useless. At least the extremely penetrating force field rays have not only interrupted many branches, but also caused some damage to the body of the elder.

However, the dense leaves form a good visual shadow. Gemini cannot evaluate the effect of its own attack, so on the surface, the elder seems to be really unscathed in this wave of attack!

Then the next moment, the elder who just shocked Gemini with strong defense launched a decisive counterattack!

I saw the rapid dislocation and movement of the branches, and soon gave way to dozens of pupil like "shooting holes".

At the next moment, the elder like a conical sharp arrow turned into a luminous hedgehog, shooting dozens of thick beams from top to bottom, and the momentum even exceeded the main gun volley of the sea fleet!

"No! Avoid it!" exclaimed the two commanders.

However, just a few seconds later, two huge fireballs exploded in the sea family's fleet, and the two warships turned into cosmic dust and became the first victims of this encounter.

Not only that, the shields of three or four warships affected by the attack suddenly dropped to dangerous values!

In fact, the sea family interception fleet had already entered the fire range of the elders, and Nie Yun waited until the distance was closer before launching the first round of attack. The close salvo really brought rich results!

This is not an unexpected sneak attack of "Hou Yi class", but a frontal confrontation after the sea fleet has made full preparations, killing two warships face to face, which is definitely the embodiment of hard power!

"Yes... It's a fortress level main gun! At least more than 10!" the observer shouted in some panic.

When all the sea officers heard this number, the cold sweat on their faces came down.

Isn't its noumenon a cosmic creature? What's the matter with fortress weapons of this density?

Is this the mechanized transformation of cosmic creatures, or the biological living of mechanical fortress?

According to their original prediction, even if the cosmic creature has been mechanically modified, at most, the jeep is equipped with a machine gun to break the sky, which is the firepower of an armed jeep.

What happened? You converted a jeep into a Tiger tank? Decent?!

The reason why the fortress gun is called fortress gun is that its energy supply, cooling and other supporting facilities occupy too much space, which is not carried by ordinary small warships at all.

If we use this weapon density, this big tree... I'm afraid it has not been hollowed out?

The elder: "

Although not, it's not far away

As the saying goes, people live a face and trees live a skin. The central xylem of woody plants is not indispensable. As long as it is not completely damaged, it will not affect the internal material exchange of trees. This is also the reason why hollow old trees can still survive.

In this regard, flora is a cosmic biological type more suitable for fortress transformation than fauna, and has inherent excellent compatibility!

Although they were shocked by the strong attack and defense ability of the elders, the two commanders of the Hai family had been in battle for a long time. They immediately analyzed the characteristics of the enemy and began to issue a series of targeted orders.

"The fleet spread to the two wings, pay attention to mobility and avoid enemy fire!"

"Replace kinetic energy weapons for regional fire coverage! Launch special missiles to test the enemy's weaknesses!"

"The minelaying boat releases hidden mines and blocks its way forward!"

……

With the order, the sea clan's fleet moved slowly to the two wings, giving way to the channel in front of the elder, and it was obvious that it was ready to avoid its edge.

At the same time, the bow position of each ship poked out the extended shooting track. In a burst of faint blue light, "whoosh! Whoosh!" countless solid alloy rods were shot out at high speed by the electromagnetic track, and the target was directed at the elderly!

More than a dozen small minelaying boats threw a series of floating underground mines the size of a basketball. These insignificant underground mines, relying on inertia, sprinkled evenly on the forward channel of the elderly.

There is no most powerful weapon, only the most suitable weapon!

This is the famous remark of Gemini military master Thompson.

Since the effect of energy weapons is not good, use kinetic energy weapons!

Although the huge body of the elderly has inherent advantages in attack and defense, it is not completely without weaknesses.

In addition to the solar sail, the acceleration ability of the elderly completely depends on the high-power propeller group at the root. These propellers promote the huge elderly to accelerate in one direction. The effect is fairly good. As for the steering maneuverability... It is basically zero!

For the elder who takes tens of minutes to turn around, agility... Is the biggest weakness of the elder!

The ultra-low agility naturally means ultra-low dodge. Even if you predict the enemy's attack direction in advance, you can't avoid it immediately, which makes the Hai clan see the opportunity!

Kinetic energy weapons have slow firing speed and can easily be evaded by flexible space warships on the interstellar battlefield. Therefore, they can only be used as short-range combat weapons. However, in terms of armor breaking ability, even a small celestial body with tens of kilometers, a high-speed electromagnetic projectile can pierce the heart with one arrow!

The two commanders are obviously not straw bags. This weapon is undoubtedly more lethal than energy weapons to deal with the elderly!

Countless projectiles carrying huge kinetic energy hit rapidly, but the trunk of the elder suddenly began to flash a faint blue light
