Chapter 496 Has it been hollowed out?
Since the era of thermal weapons, physical armor has been gradually eliminated by the times.
Whether it's guns, gunpowder, or more advanced energy weapons, they all have the ability to break the target's defense beyond a level.
During World War II, the armor was as thick as 650mm. Yamato, known as the world's number one battleship, was eventually sunk by aerial bombs and torpedoes. Totally out of balance.
Next, the history of the development of large-scale weapons in various countries is to develop in the direction of "hiding deeper, running faster, and hitting more accurately".
After entering the interstellar era, the Gemini civilization developed the force field shield technology, which rewritten the embarrassing situation of protection technology. However, although space battleships are also getting bigger and bigger, Gemini never thought of using thicker armor. way to increase the defense of the spaceship.
Before there is a breakthrough in material technology, increasing the thickness of the armor can bring little improvement in defense, and the input and output are completely out of proportion.
However, for the immortals, a huge body with strong recovery ability is inherently a super meat shield against high blood and thick blood.
Only the layers of dense branches and leaves are two to three kilometers thick, and the protection ability is comparable to the two to three kilometers of super-strength armor layers, forming a natural barrier.
After experiencing the "fire catastrophe", the water of life fully stimulated the evolutionary potential of the immortals, and the optimized new leaves were stronger, not only stronger in high temperature resistance, but also evolved the low-level ability of "photosynthesis" to a nearly "primary" ability. The magical ability of "energy absorption" has greatly enhanced the ability to absorb and convert microwaves and high-energy photons!
While energy rays cause certain damage, part of the energy will also be absorbed by the immortals, which can weaken the attack and can also be used to speed up the repair of damaged parts. Even Nie Yun is quite amazed by this new ability.
Coupled with the ultra-high reflectivity of the mechanical bug coating, frigate-level beam weapons can no longer cause too much damage to the immortals.
Of course, it doesn't mean that this wave of attacks is useless, at least the force field rays with extremely strong penetrating power not only interrupted many branches, but also caused some damage to the body of the immortal.
However, the dense leaves formed a good visual shading, and Gemini could not evaluate the effect of its own attack, so on the surface, it seemed that the immortals were really unscathed in this wave of attacks!
Then the next moment, the Immortal who had just shocked Gemini with his strong defense force launched a counterattack decisively!
I saw the rapid dislocation of the branches, and soon gave up dozens of pupil-like "shooting holes".
In the next moment, the immortal who looked like a sharp arrow turned into a luminous hedgehog, shooting out dozens of thick beams of light from all over his body, and the momentum even surpassed the salvo of the main guns of the Sea Clan fleet!
"Not good! Quickly evade!" The two commanders exclaimed.
However, after just a few seconds, two huge fireballs exploded in the Sea Clan's fleet, and the two battleships turned into cosmic dust, becoming the first victims of this encounter.
Not only that, but the shields of three or four warships affected by the attack dropped sharply to a dangerous value!
The Sea Clan's interception fleet had already entered the firing range of the Immortals, and Nie Yun waited until the distance was reduced before launching the first round of attack. The approaching volley really brought rich results!
This is not a surprise attack like the "Houyi class", but a head-on confrontation after the Sea Clan fleet has made sufficient preparations. Killing two warships face to face is definitely a manifestation of hard power!
"Yes...it's a fortress-level main gun! There are at least 10 guns!" The observer shouted in a panic.
When all the officers of the sea tribe heard this number, the cold sweat fell off their faces.
Isn't its body a cosmic creature?What's the matter with this density of fortress weapons?
Is this the mechanized transformation of the cosmic creatures, or the living creatures of the mechanical fortress?
According to their original estimate, even if this cosmic creature has undergone mechanized modification, at most it is a jeep with a machine gun, and it is the firepower of an armed jeep.
The results of it?You converted a Tiger tank out of a jeep?Is it plausible? !
The reason why the fortress gun is called the fortress gun is because its energy supply, cooling and other supporting facilities take up too much space, and it is not driven by ordinary small warships at all.
According to this kind of weapon density, this big tree... I'm afraid it has been hollowed out, right?
Longevity: "..."
Although not in the middle, it is not far away...
As the saying goes, a person lives a face, a tree lives a bark, the central xylem of a woody plant is not indispensable, as long as it is not completely damaged, it will not affect the internal material exchange of the tree, which is why the hollow old tree can still survive reason.
From this point of view, the plant system is a cosmic creature type that is more suitable for fortification transformation than the animal system, and has inherent excellent compatibility!
Although shocked by the powerful offensive and defensive capabilities of the Immortals, the two commanders of the Sea Clan were battle-hardened. They immediately analyzed the characteristics of the enemy and began to issue a series of targeted orders.
"The fleet spread out to the two wings, pay attention to maneuvering to avoid enemy fire!"
"Replace kinetic energy weapons for regional fire coverage! Launch special missiles to test the enemy's weaknesses!"
"The mine-laying boat releases hidden mines, blocking its way forward!"
……
Following the order, the Sea Clan's fleet moved slowly towards the two wings, clearing the channel directly in front of the Longevity, obviously preparing to avoid its sharp edge.
At the same time, the bows of each ship protruded from the extended shooting track, and in a burst of faint blue electric light, "swish!" Countless solid alloy rods were shot out at high speed by the electromagnetic track, and the target was directed at the immortal!
And dozens of small mine-laying boats threw a series of floating dark mines the size of basketballs. These inconspicuous dark mines scattered evenly towards the advancing channel of the immortals by virtue of inertia.
There is no most powerful weapon, only the most suitable weapon!
This is the famous statement of Gemini military master Thompson.
Since energy weapons are not effective, use kinetic weapons!
Although the huge body of the immortal has inherent advantages in attack and defense, it is not completely without weaknesses.
In addition to the solar sail, the acceleration ability of the Immortal is completely dependent on the high-power propeller group at the root. These propellers have a good one-way acceleration effect on the huge Immortal. As for the ability to change directions... it is basically zero!
For the Immortals, who spend tens of minutes turning around, agility...is the biggest shortcoming of the Immortals!
And ultra-low agility naturally means ultra-low dodge. Even if the enemy's attack direction is predicted in advance, it is basically impossible to dodge immediately. This allows the Sea Clan to see an opportunity!
Kinetic energy weapons have a slow rate of fire, and are easily evaded by flexible and maneuverable space battleships on the interstellar battlefield. Therefore, they can basically only be used as short-range combat weapons. Electromagnetic projectiles can pierce the heart with one arrow!
The two commanders are obviously not idiots. This kind of weapon is undoubtedly more lethal than energy weapons when used against immortals!
Countless projectiles carrying huge kinetic energy struck at swiftly, but the trunk of the Immortal's body suddenly began to flicker with faint blue electric lights...
