Chapter 40: The Suicide Ship
The so-called martial spirit of the Mullan Empire is simply crazy in the eyes of Yushinje, and when it knew that it was impossible to defeat the Zerg fleet, the Mullan Empire would actually come up with the idea of building some warships specially designed to commit suicide. These warships have a characteristic, that is, they are extremely fast and have no main guns, and the shield technology has almost reached the peak of third-level warships, which is impossible to break except for the main guns of the main battleships of the Zerg.
But the problem is that the number of these warships is so large that the main guns of the Zerg warships are completely unable to take care of them, but the Evil Eye Tyrant's laser compound eye and Leviathan's secondary cannon can't break their energy shields at all, so they lead to the embarrassing scene of Yushne's fleet being beaten by the enemy and retreating.
However, to be honest, the Zerg just lost face, after all, they were driven away, but it was the Mullan Empire that really suffered, because until now there are few warships that have been able to rush to the Zerg fleet to complete self-preservation, and the record of the Mullan Empire in the nearly three-hour battle is to destroy more than 100 Zerg main warships and more than 1,000 auxiliary ships, but its own casualties have reached nearly 20,000 terror.
"Use Hydra, if they continue to use this tactic, these lunatics will be able to hold out in this channel for at least five days, and we won't have the time to continue playing with them." When Kerry Gantong Guò Soul Passage carefully observed the shape of the battlefield, he finally understood the current situation.
"Okay." Although it is very unwilling, dispatching Hydra is the best way to solve the current dilemma. In fact, Kerrigan ordered the hatching of five Leviathan ships and a hydra at the same time, which was originally intended to be used in a decisive battle with the Tammy Empire. But seeing that this situation is no longer necessary.
Hydra was once developed in the most hurry, so there are many defects, but after such a long period of continuous adjustment and improvement, Hydra's genes have been basically perfected. The new Hydra is much more powerful than the original remnants. Moreover, the cost of incubation has also been reduced from 10 billion to 8 billion, which is basically equivalent to the price of a Leviathan ship group.
Among them, the biggest change of Hydra is the compression and silky ray cannon in the mouth of the nine snake heads, because the miniaturization of the compressed black death ray cannon organ has been studied, so this terrifying offensive weapon will be installed on the body of a small warship like the giant dragon warship, and at the same time, Hydra has also benefited from this technology, that is, Hydra originally had only one main cannon for each head, but now there are full nine, which means that the current Hydra is fully equipped with eighty-one black death ray cannons. The firepower is several times greater than that of the former Hydra.
Speaking of which, the incubation costs of the Hydra and the Zerg fourth-tier battleship groups are not far apart, but it is really hard to say which one has stronger combat effectiveness. In terms of defense, Hydra naturally has the upper hand, and with the current position of Hydra, the shield defense power cannot break through the ghost field even if a salvo of the main guns of the entire Leviathan ship group is fired. But if you want to say that the firepower is fierce, it must be the fourth-tier ship group, which is superior. After all, even if the number of Hydra's main guns increased ninefold, it would only be eighty-one main guns, and an entire Leviathan fleet would have six thousand main guns.
The current number of Zerg recruits is as follows:

Because the researchers have made slight adjustments and optimizations to the genes, the number has changed a lot from the previous one, but because these battleship classes have been basically finalized, there will be no other big changes. Therefore, it can be regarded as a complete body among the fourth-tier battleships. Even if there are other changes, it will be after upgrading to a Tier 5 battleship.
Among them, the price difference between the main Leviathan and the main giant centipede battleship is more than five times, this is because the Leviathan is more comprehensive than the giant centipede battleship with only the main gun, Leviathan is loaded with main guns that can be used for confrontation between the main warships, and there are more than 100 laser compound eyes that can be used to establish air defense advantages, and even a large number of air combat zergs are loaded in the body, which is completely a panacea-like ship.
Compared to Leviathan, the entire body of the giant dragon battleship has almost no effect except for the main cannon of the compressed black death ray cannon, which can be used to fight against other capital warships, and even the ghost power field cannot compete with the Leviathan because of its small size, so the relative battlefield adaptability is extremely poor. It must be assisted by other auxiliary ships in order to fight, and can hardly be used for solo combat.
For example, let a giant centipede warship carry out a mission alone. If he encounters an enemy's main battleship, he can immediately enter the combat state and engage the opponent, but in case he encounters not a battleship but a thousand fighters, then it will be completely stopped, no matter how powerful the main gun is, it is also an act of cannon fighting mosquitoes, and what is even more embarrassing is that it may not be able to fight.
However, whether it is a giant centipede battleship or a giant whale battleship, the Apocalypse Hive, the Evil Eye Tyrant, etc., are actually the products of splitting the functions of the Leviathan, these warships all have some of the abilities of the Leviathan, but they are not comprehensive, but they can play a huge role when combined, this is the combination of troops between the warships, and it is also the inspiration that Chu Heng got from the Luoyun Kingdoms to divide the battleships into battleships, cruisers, frigates, submarine hunters, etc., it seems that each battleship is not as powerful as the all-powerful Leviathan, but the cost is very different.
Therefore, the final version of the fourth-level fleet is built by the giant centipede battleship as the main body, and the Leviathan, the strongest warship of the current Zerg, can only serve as the flagship of each sub-fleet, fleet and even ship group, even if it is a whole ship group, there are few main Leviathans, because if the Leviathan is the main body to build the fourth-level fleet, although it will increase the strength of the Zerg fleet a lot, the cost is absolutely jaw-dropping, although the strength is strong but the cost performance is too low.
On the battlefield, the decisive charge of the Mullan Empire was still crazy, because of the terrain, the Zerg fleet could not move freely, but retreated while dodging the meteorite belt. By now, Yushne has understood that taking this place as the main battlefield is completely the result of the Mullan Empire's choice, no wonder he has barely encountered any resistance before, and he only encountered resistance when he reached this place known as the Golden Passage.
The so-called Golden Passage is a route that runs through the entire Reynolds Star Field, because this route is extremely stable, and there is almost never a space jump accident, so it is called the Golden Passage, and the colonial stars around the Golden Passage have naturally become the richest area of the Mullan Empire.
However, at the first stop of the Zerg's entry into the Golden Passage, Natakarin Star encountered some minor troubles.
Because the environment of this star system is extremely special, the entire galaxy is surrounded by asteroid belts and meteorites, and there are countless areas full of radiation and dangerous rays around it, but because Natakarin is the planet with the richest reserves of Tai ore in the entire Mullin Empire, it is also the most developed here, and the reason why the golden shipping route is the starting point is also for this reason.
If it is just an ordinary trip, it is completely free to walk along the route cleared by the Mullan Empire, but if it is used as a battlefield, it is one of the few narrow terrains in the entire universe, and it is in this terrain that the almost crazy suicide warships of the Mullan Empire force the Zerg fleet back step by step.
Yushne had already considered this problem before attacking this area, but although Yushne was cautious, if the Zerg wanted to quickly attack the Emir Star Field from the Reynolds Star Field, they must use the Golden Passage as an entry point, and attacking along this golden Channel could not only quickly occupy the richest area of the Mullan Empire, so as to quickly destroy the Mullan Empire's determination to resist, but also be faster than attacking from other regions.
In addition to this rare golden passage, it is not uncommon to sail for several hours to find the next jump point when making a space jump from other areas, and sometimes it is not uncommon to sail for several days in order to find the next jump point, which naturally affects the efficiency and speed of the attack. However, there is no such problem with the Golden Passage, which is more than 8,000 light-years long, and it only takes 10 days at most from the starting point to the end point if it is smooth, which is much faster than the average distance of one day per 100 light-years in other regions.
"There are also suicide warships of the enemy army on the left, the number is 10,000, I really don't know how the Mullan Empire created so many suicide warships in such a short period of time." At this time, Bihir, who suffered the heaviest losses, was also a little annoyed, and the enemy's main battleship was only 40,000, but the number of such small suicide warships that could be controlled by only a few people had reached 80,000.
