Chapter 2009: The Arena of the God of Chapters
The arena of the gods?
"Are you sure this isn't a slaughterhouse?" Zhao Chen joked.
"They do look quite similar," Chief Engineer Nana said with a joking smile.
Zhao Chen thought for a moment and then asked, "How long can this starship maintain this offensive mode, or what is its limit?"
And this shield, how long can it last if attacked simultaneously by starships from both inside and outside?
I see there's still a short warp distance left. How far is that warp distance, and how long does it take to initiate the warp?
Zhao Chen asked a series of questions.
Chief Engineer Anne stepped forward and began to answer the question one by one.
After all, this was a project she was specifically in charge of, and no one knew this interstellar warship better than her.
"Regarding how long this attack pattern can be maintained."
We have used supercomputers to simulate calculations.
This is normal.
Without considering external interference.
This interstellar warship can deploy a divine force that covers an entire galaxy to its maximum extent.
However, the larger the scope, the weaker the stance.
Therefore, judgments should be made based on the actual situation.
And these released Divine Guards... are the names of these golden-armored warriors, which I call Divine Guards.
At the beginning, around 30,000 Divine Guards could be released at once, and then they were produced at a certain constant rate.
Each Divine Guardian possesses combat power equivalent to a near-T6 level interstellar warship.
So this is equivalent to 30,000 near-T6 level interstellar warships, which can be continuously deployed for extended periods.
As for the limits.
Its energy system is the same type as that of the T7 Helios-class super starship, but more advanced.
Theoretically, it can last for a month.
But as I said, this is in theory.
In reality, it will be reduced due to many factors.
For example, the size of the enemy fleet.
According to our simulations, the enemy fleet size is most suitable at 300,000 ships, with the strength based on our JF-17 Dragon Legion fleet. If it were the fleets of those conventional interstellar civilizations, the number could be increased to 3 million ships.
At this scale, all enemies within the domain's field of effect can be wiped out within a week, while the starship can still maintain at least 50% combat readiness.
The maximum number is around three million Xiaolong interstellar warships, which is equivalent to about three thousand interstellar warships for a civilization like the Conqueror.
With such a large number of players, the outcome is difficult to predict.
However, there's a greater than 90% chance that our interstellar warship will perish, buying the enemy three days to annihilate one-third to one-half of their interstellar warships.
One ship can withstand 30 million interstellar warships from the other side.
Those ten ships would be three hundred million interstellar warships.
Thirty ships would be enough to wipe out the enemy's interstellar warships!
Chief Engineer Anne continued in a teacher-like manner, pulling out a pointer from who-knows-where and pointing at the window data in the holographic display.
"But as I just said, this is theoretical data."
There are many different situations on the battlefield.
If the enemy's primary objective is not to destroy our starship's core, but rather to break through, then...
With a fleet of three million JF-17s, this position could only buy them a day, but the enemy would suffer at least a quarter of their casualties.
However, if enemy interstellar warships attack this area of space from outside the field at the same time, the barrier will be depleted even faster.
Hearing this, Zhao Chen understood.
The data we obtained previously were all under theoretical conditions.
"We have considered the most realistic combat scenario."
We deployed one of these interstellar warships, joining our Dragon Legion fleet, which comprises three million interstellar warships.
As Chief Engineer Anne spoke, the holographic image changed, transforming into a holographic war sand table depicting a battle.
"And the enemy is the conqueror civilization we fought against before."
There are 100 million interstellar warships on the other side.
Before this, if we had three million warships against the conqueror civilization's one hundred million starships, without reinforcements or T7 starships...
The odds of winning are 0.
But now, we've added one of our own Starships, 702.
Then, through simulated combat using a supercomputer, the result was...” Chief Engineer Annie said.
Rapid changes began to occur on the holographic war sandbox.
The war began with the debut of the 702 interstellar warship.
"Normally speaking, the optimal way to use the 702 Starship is to capture the enemy's leader first."
Because within the domain's field of view, enemy communication and space jumps are impossible.
This would leave the enemy leaderless.
However, I estimate that this won't necessarily happen in every war, so in this simulation, we'll assume that we haven't interfered with the enemy's communication network and that their command system hasn't been paralyzed.
Chief Engineer Anne crossed her arms and explained from the side.
At that moment, the holographic model of the 702 interstellar warship had already warped to a central position in the enemy fleet.
"The warp distance, which wasn't mentioned before."
The warp distance of the 702 interstellar warp is approximately 0.5 standard star system units.
In this kind of small battlefield, you can think of it as being able to jump directly to the rear of the enemy fleet.
This forms a tactic.
I'll support the tactic of poking its asshole!
Chief Engineer Anne's words made Zhao Chen chuckle.
But this description is indeed quite apt.
At that moment, the 702 interstellar warship appeared directly behind the enemy interstellar fleet, and then a purplish-black field instantly unfolded, enveloping a large number of interstellar warships.
Zhao Chen roughly calculated that the interstellar warships surrounded in this field of force accounted for about one-tenth of the enemy's 100 million interstellar warships.
That is, ten million interstellar warships.
However, most of them are enemy auxiliary interstellar warships, such as carriers and interstellar heavy artillery ships.
Surrounding these interstellar warships are usually only interstellar escort ships, interstellar destroyers, and a small number of main interstellar warships.
Their actual combat strength is not very strong.
In this way, even if the enemy has ten million interstellar warships, this 702 interstellar warship can easily handle them.
The rest of the story unfolded in a fairly predictable manner.
Within this field of influence, the beam of light from the 702 interstellar warship appeared, followed by tens of thousands of divine guards who launched an attack on the interstellar warships.
Auxiliary interstellar warships have no combat capabilities and can only rely on the cover of combat interstellar warships next to them.
"I did not panic or become flustered in this process; the enemy responded in a very short time."
But in reality, on the battlefield, what would happen if you were suddenly covered by such a large black dome?
Even experienced commanders find it difficult to make rational judgments in a short period of time.
As you know, on the battlefield, fighter jets are life itself.
"Every minute that was wasted was the best opportunity for 702 to attack," Chief Engineer Anne said excitedly.
These statements are all quite reasonable.
Zhao Chen did not deny it.
The battle inside the shield was not very strong because a quarter of the ten million interstellar warships were auxiliary interstellar warships.
The only real problem is the enemy's long-range firepower.
For example, interstellar heavy artillery ships, interstellar missile ships, and a large number of aircraft carrier starships.
Countless interstellar fighters and interstellar drones clashed with the Divine Guard in this area.
The enemy also intends to attack 702, the instigator of all this.
However, there was an invisible barrier around that beam of light.
“There will be a very strong barrier around the throne, which you can think of as a star shield.”
This star shield is far superior to ordinary interstellar warship star shields.
It is much stronger than the T7 Helios-class super starship.
Therefore, the enemy cannot destroy it in a short period of time.
Breaking the Star Shield is much more difficult than breaking the Domain Field.
At this moment, our gaze shifted to the outside of the cover.
The enemy starship fleet discovered that some of its interstellar warships behind it were shrouded in a black dome and had lost contact.
Naturally, they would try to destroy the black cover and launched an attack on it.
Meanwhile, on the main battlefield, the three million interstellar warships of the Dragon Legion fleet also launched an attack.
At first, there didn't seem to be anything unusual on the battlefield.
But soon, the effects of the 702 interstellar warship began to emerge.
It was as if a butterfly had flapped its wings.
The Conqueror Legion fleet suffered a significant drop in firepower on the battlefield due to the loss of most of its carrier starships and long-range fire support.
Meanwhile, some consumable interstellar warships are not resupplyed by auxiliary interstellar warships such as interstellar supply ships.
After several rounds of attacks, without supplies, they were essentially rendered ineffective.
The first day of combat proceeded normally.
The signs first appeared on the second day.
On the third day, the JF-17 fleet began to take control of the battlefield.
The fifth day.
The JF-17 fleet has begun its counterattack.
Finally, the battle ended on the tenth day.
The ending is...
All ten million interstellar warships within the 702 Starship Barrier were destroyed.
The 702 starship's various performance characteristics and overall combat capability are still at 30%.
Then look at the battlefield outside.
Of the 100 million interstellar warships, only less than 20 million remained after ten days.
Meanwhile, the Xiaolong Legion fleet only lost 800,000 interstellar warships, leaving more than 2 million operational interstellar warships.
At this point, the supercomputer had determined that the chances of the opposing conqueror civilization winning were infinitely close to zero.
"Next, 702 only needs to deploy its force field once more to cover a quarter of the remaining 20 million interstellar warships and digest them step by step."
The final result is...
The Xiaolong Legion fleet relied on a single T7 starship, despite having nearly forty times fewer starships.
With fewer than one million of its own interstellar warships lost, a casualty rate of around 30%, it achieved the complete annihilation of one hundred million enemy interstellar warships.
The overall casualty ratio was close to 100 to 1!
In the entire simulated battle, only a few tens of minutes had passed in reality.
After reading it, Zhao Chen's eyes lit up.
It must be said that the 702 interstellar warship has very distinctive features.
Based on what he had just seen, Zhao Chen had already simulated no fewer than ten ways to use it on the battlefield.
"If I'm not mistaken, in direct combat..."
"This 702 is actually no match for a Helios-class super starship," Zhao {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Chen stated, expressing his thoughts.
Chief Engineer Anne immediately prepared to finish.
But Zhao Chen immediately added, "However, in terms of its role in the overall battle, one of these ships is more effective than ten Apollo-class super ships."
If a Helios-class super starship is equivalent to a general...
That 702 is like a commander-in-chief, one person can be as good as the commander of an army corps.
It has even greater strategic value on the battlefield!
Upon hearing this, Chief Engineer Anne nodded and said, "That's indeed true."
Its single-ship combat capability is indeed inferior to that of the Apollo-class super starship.
We've compared the data of these two starships side-by-side, and the latter has consistently been defeated.
However, compared to the Apollo-class super starships, it has one major advantage!
"What?" Zhao Chen looked at Chief Engineer Annie expectantly.
"The cost is very cheap."
Its cost is less than one-fifth that of a Helios-class super starship.
In other words, the cost of building one Apollo-class super starship could build at least five of these interstellar warships! "Chief Engineer Anne said proudly.
Zhao Chen's eyes lit up.
This is definitely a huge advantage.
"But it also has a huge drawback." At this moment, Chief Engineer Nana, who was standing next to him, poured cold water on the idea without any hesitation.
Zhao Chen looked over in confusion.
What kind of shortcomings would such a starship have?
"Its construction conditions are extremely demanding, which directly results in a very long construction time."
How demanding is it?
"With the increased production we've achieved at Base 001, is it really not enough to meet its demand?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.
Base 001 is actually the code name for the Primordial Universe, and it is currently being kept as secret as possible from the Primordial Universe.
In many cases, the initial state of the universe is referred to as Base 001.
Chief Engineer Nana shook her head and said, "Actually, the time-consuming part of building this 702 interstellar warship is not the material requirement."
Rather, it's the process of incubating it.
incubation?
This is the first time I've heard this word on a starship.
No... the process of the Zerg motherships can be described using the word "incubation," which is quite apt.
"This is because of the unique combat method of this interstellar warship."
This is the core energy required by these divine soldiers.
We call it psionic energy, or soul power.
This energy requires special instruments to collect.
The efficiency of data collection depends on the number of devices and the current psionic density of this universe.
The density of psionic energy is closely related to the number of intelligent life forms that have died in this universe.
