"Erqing, I'm sorry to tell you that this time your wish is probably not coming true. ”

When the pirate fleet appeared one after another, Zhang Xin was chatting with the white knight Al in his personal terminal interface.

He's doing a live stream right now, yes, but it's only the inside of the bridge. You can still communicate privately with your subordinates.

And the white knight Al who only appeared in the image in the terminal interface also had a very helpless look.

"Jack and I will try to get to the battlefield in four hours. However, is it really okay for Your Majesty to completely hand over this war to Cheryl's command?"

"It seems that Erqing doesn't know your sister well enough. ”

Zhang Xin laughed: "What I can be sure of is that her mental arithmetic ability, after entering the third order, will be able to keep up with you." And the prediction, to put it mildly, she should be above you, "

The white knight Al's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his eyes were slightly relieved.

Since mankind entered the interstellar age, because there is no shelter on the space battlefield most of the time, most of the beam weapons used are straight forward, and the defense capability of the ship, the power and range of the ship's guns are also visible at a glance. This makes the ability of mathematical mental arithmetic occupy an increasing weight in the war between fleets.

Although in this era, there are still computers as auxiliary tools, but in the rapidly changing battlefield, in fact, most of the time, you still have to rely on the commander's own mental arithmetic ability and prediction.

- Computers are powerful, but they can't match the time it takes to enter data, analyze data, build models, and notify fleet commanders.

This was the case when Zhang Xin was in the Firmament before, although Ye Ruo also designed a combat assistance intelligent system for him, but the latter could only provide data analysis and probability prediction services, and could not help Zhang Xin make the most correct choice.

Therefore, in space warfare, strong mental arithmetic ability is the basic quality of a commander, and if on this basis, he also has superior prediction ability, then this commander can be called excellent.

Al also believed in Zhang Xin, and he knew what a terrifying existence his majesty was.

"But she lacks experience, after all, there are too many immeasurable factors on the battlefield. The state of each battleship, the skills and tactics and morale of the soldiers, the reflexes of the ship commanders, and mecha warfare are all not covered by simple arithmetic. ”

"Don't worry!"

Zhang Xin's voice was decisive and confident: "Don't worry, Erqing, you have to believe in the measure of your family lord." I'm not going to anger Cheryl because of a defeat. It would only be my fault as a lord, that I gave her a burden beyond her ability when she was not yet fully grown. A wise monarch will not let his subordinates bear the responsibility they should not bear, and this is my promise to you. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Al was slightly moved, and bowed deeply to Zhang Xin in the image: "Your Majesty, I have to admit that your courage and measurement are unmatched by the entire Earth Federation. However, it is our duty as courtiers to dedicate our abilities and loyalty to the monarch. I'm just worried that Cheryl she's let her down—"

"Alright, Al, that's all for that. I think even if Cheryl made a mistake, I had enough strength to undo it. ”

Zhang Xinjiang pressed down with one hand and stopped the White Knight Al's words: "All in all, your side will formulate a battle plan based on the total victory that our side can win in this battle, and be sure to collect the maximum results!"

"The minister understands!"

Al bowed and said, "As you wish, the minister will do his best to prevent any pirate ships from escaping from the upper east of the Yingzhou Star Domain." ”

"I'm sure you can do it—"

When Zhang Xin said this, he had already turned his attention to the front.

While the two of them were communicating, the main guns of the battleship 'Shenwei' had fired ten salvos in a row.

The battleship's eight 'demonstrator' guns have a maximum range of 3.5 astronomical units, or 520 million kilometers—after all, they were made by exhausting the foundation of powerful labor, and the level of technology is far beyond the work of this era. The cost of each gate reached 50 million federal coins, which is equivalent to five battleships.

Their only drawback is that if the range exceeds 0.3 AU, the Demonstrator's main gun will slow down its charge firing time.

The farther away you are, the more time it takes to recharge, and once you reach the 3.5 AU limit, it will take at least ten minutes to store energy.

Therefore, within 0.3 astronomical units, it is the main cannon of the 'demonstrator', the field where it can really show its might.

Each cannon is equipped with 24 sets of independent energy storage modules, which can allow this 'demonstrator' main gun to maintain continuous and uninterrupted firing!

The area where the Grand Pirate Fleet sails away from warp speed is also outside of 0.4 AU.

This battleship, which cost as much as 1.6 billion federal coins, also showed its hideousness and fangs. Despite the fact that the targets pointed by the naval guns were effectively evaded,

But the thick particle beams blasted by the eight 'demonstrators' still easily tore apart more than a dozen battleships, including even two battleships.

However, as soon as the two sides approached within 0.3 AU, the battleship Kamui had to temporarily stop the slaughter.

The opposing side also had several special-built battleships come out and began to bombard the battleship 'Kamui'.

Although the power of those main guns is far inferior to the eight 'demonstrators', when the power of one hundred and twenty fortress-level main guns is superimposed, Zhang Xin's ship still has to spend more energy on defense and evasion.

Due to the position of the 'Shenwei' in the center of the entire fleet formation, coupled with its huge size, there was not much room and room for this battleship to shoot evasively.

So most of the time, the 'Shenwei' had to resist the full bombardment of all the other side's fortress-level main guns.

At this time, the only ones who can help are the "Thunder Hammer" battleship of the Thunderhammer Mercenary Group, the "Bright Chanter" battleship of the Bright Mercenary Group, and the "Bone Dragon" battleship of the Dragonbone Mercenary Group.

These three battleships were as high as 26 fortress-class guns, and together with eight 'demonstrators', they were also enough to sink any special battleship on the opposite side in a single hit.

But most of the time, they don't make it all. The commanders of these battleships on the opposite side are well-trained, and they can often effectively predict and evade them before they can fire a salvo.

However, Zhang Xin's ship also made the other party helpless.

The strength of the battleship Shenwei is not only in the eight 'demonstrators', but also in its overall defense beyond the fortress class, which is also one of the reasons why this battleship can rank among the top 20 in the combat power of a single ship of the Earth Federation.

In just one minute, the 'Shenwei' has withstood nearly a thousand main gun bombardments, but it is still firmly on the rock of eternity. Zhang Xin sat in the bridge and didn't even feel the slightest shaking,
