139: Information Suppression
With the addition of twenty new Hives, the situation in the B10 Starfield main battlefield suddenly changed, and the Blue Star faction's drone fleet completed its final encirclement.
The battle damage ratio changed from the original average of 18:1 to 10:1.
Hai Star Fleet.
The 'adjudicator', bridge.
Vice Commander Gomu sat on the Commander's throne, his hands stroking the armrests, his eyes tightly closed, and his face slightly raised, as if enjoying the satisfaction brought by power.
"Vice Commander, the B-10 battlefield can no longer hold on."
"The intelligent AI's judgment is that our drone forces will be completely annihilated within one hour."
Gomu opened his eyes and snorted disdainfully.
"They're just a bunch of slightly luckier primitives, what's there to worry about?"
Koste raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Vice Commander, I must remind you that the Blue Star people's Star Destroyer Cannon could be fully charged again at any moment."
"The intelligent AI's judgment is that the launch source must be destroyed within two hours, otherwise, the fleet will suffer an equivalent level of attack again."
A cold light flashed in Gomu's eyes: "the 'adjudicator', main cannon charging."
"Main cannon is charging."
"1%, 1.5%..."
Five minutes later.
"Main cannon fully charged."
Gomu: "Aim at B-10 Starfield, attack mode: sweep."
"Command confirmed, main cannon activated, sweep mode."
As a red and white beam of light erupted from the 'adjudicator''s main cannon, the next second, the beam expanded dozens of times, spanning several kilometers in diameter, instantly reaching the B-10 Starfield.
Under the indiscriminate sweep, the main battlefield instantly suffered devastating damage, with nearly seventy percent of the drones destroyed by the Positron Cannon, leaving no trace.
The remaining twenty percent were scorched by high temperatures, losing their combat capability and becoming useless space debris.
Only a small number of drones in the outermost regions survived, but they were also teetering in the chaotic electronic storm, out of control... Koste looked at the empty simulated star map of the B-10 Starfield, his facial muscles twitching twice uncontrollably, feeling a pang of heartache.
This single attack directly depleted nearly one-fifth of the 'adjudicator''s drone reserves, exceeding the total consumption of the past hundred years.
But he also had to admit that Gomu's decision was indeed the fastest way to clear the battlefield.
Although he had never participated in the command of any battle, observing them frequently had gradually given him some understanding.
The Blue Star drones' objective was too obvious; they were constantly stalling for time.
Despite having the absolute initiative, they were still using a 'boiling frog' approach, slowly depleting the number of Hai Star drones.
The intelligent AI also made a judgment: the Blue Star people's Star Destroyer Cannon was different from ordinary conventional energy, mixing a large amount of dark elements, requiring a long time to charge before firing a second shot.
The answer was already obvious: the Blue Star people wanted to stall for time, waiting for the next decisive blow that would secure victory.
Gomu: "The 'Judge' Mothership Squadron advances, target starfields A39 - A100, find the Star Destroyer Cannon's launch source within one hour."
Following Gomu's order, The 'Judge' Mothership Squadron, a total of 32 warships, departed from its original starfield and rapidly advanced towards the A39 Starfield.
Gomu: "Adopt S-3 escort formation."
With the order given, the warships of the two major mothership squadrons dispersed, escorting the Hai Star mothership, the 'destroyer', in the central area, forming an impenetrable defense... Moon Base.
Two information prompts appeared in the bottom right corner of the main control screen.
The 'Judge' Mothership Squadron has been dispatched to the A39 - A100 Starfield.
The Hai Star Fleet has adopted an S-3 escort formation and is stationed in place.
Xi twirled a strand of hair from his forehead with his finger, rapidly calculating the final trajectory of this interstellar war in his mind.
At this moment, an assistant next to him approached, holding a terminal.
"Sir, the latest news from Star Sea is that their First Fleet is expected to arrive at the Hai Star Fleet's starfield in one hour."
Xi nodded slightly, his thoughts becoming clearer.
"How much cooldown time is left for the Dark Element Main Cannon?"
"Sir, at least 23 hours remain."
Xi pulled out a strand of hair and rubbed it in his hand.
"Send out a decoy to lure the 'Judge' to the C1 Starfield."
He pondered for a moment, then continued to issue a series of commands.
"Before the decoy reaches the front line, have the Hives delay The 'Judge' Mothership Squadron's navigation speed."
"Assault forces prepare to intervene in the main battlefield in one hour."
...Hai Star Mothership, the judicator, bridge.
Captain Ke Jin stood by the observation window, watching the continuous surge of 'Jiaolong' medium drones, feeling a wave of irritation.
These drones posed no threat to the fleet, but they had to be cleared, otherwise they would affect the navigation speed.
"Deploy mobile forces, accelerate the clearing of Blue Star drones."
As Ke Jin's order was given, the 'judicator''s side hangar opened, and thousands of Hai Star unmanned mechs streamed out.
The Vice Captain came to Ke Jin's side, his expression unusually grave.
"Captain, if the Blue Star people's Star Destroyer Cannon finishes charging, wouldn't we be..."
Although the sentence was not finished, the meaning was self-evident.
This was precisely the reason for Ke Jin's irritation; at the current rate of navigation, it would be absolutely impossible to reach the designated coordinates within one hour.
"Has the intelligent AI calculated the launch source of the Blue Star Star Destroyer Cannon?"
The Vice Captain handed over the terminal he was holding.
"It has been calculated: A5 Starfield."
"Can our main cannon penetrate the defenses of these drones?"
The Vice Captain operated on the terminal, and after a short while, he shook his head slightly: "According to the intelligent AI's calculation, the split cannon will be completely blocked by these drones."
"Even if we fire the split cannon towards the A5 Starfield, the Blue Star people's mothership would probably have already moved elsewhere."
Ke Jin's gaze passed through the observation window, looking at the Blue Star drones being rapidly cleared by the mobile forces.
Hundreds, even thousands, of drones were destroyed every second.
"How many of these damn drones are left?"
"Captain, the number of Blue Star drones remaining is: 13,520,257."
Upon hearing this, Ke Jin's expression grew even uglier; not only had the number not decreased, but it was actually increasing the more they fought.
If this continued, he suspected that The 'Judge' Mothership Squadron would likely have to endure the Blue Star people's second Star Destroyer Cannon shot.
"Order the mobile forces to withdraw, and activate the main cannon."
"Yes!"
Before long, the Hai Star mobile forces withdrew to the mothership.
A wide-area split Positron Cannon shot out from the 'judicator''s muzzle, blasting a vacuum zone in the large area ahead.
As the split cannon transformed into hundreds of red and white beams, it cleared another large batch, and as tens of thousands of tiny beams split further, hundreds of thousands of 'Jiaolong' medium drones were pulverized.
"Report battle results."
"Captain, this sweep destroyed a total of 1,201,033 Blue Star drones."
Ke Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.
This was completely like using a cannon to swat a fly.
And it couldn't be solved all at once.
"All ships, suppress with firepower!"
"Let the reconnaissance ships find an opportunity to break through; we must locate the Blue Star people's main cannon launch source in the shortest possible time!"
"Yes!"
