The battle became intense.

Along with the battleships joining the battlefield, there are also countless cruisers and lighter crystal spaceships. The width of the entire battlefield has been expanded again. The current firepower intensity is no longer able to completely suppress the crystal storm.

The planetary fortress spacecraft began to approach the battlefield, and before approaching, it first threw out a round of jump missiles.

These missile ships were launched from huge missile bays on the surface and activated their jump engines in low-Earth orbit. The next time they appeared on radar, the missiles had already arrived at the battlefield.

The missile carries a split warhead called a swarm missile on top, and each of the split warheads is a small missile.

This type of missile was developed specifically to attack large numbers of small targets. After being ejected from the magazine, they will immediately lock onto the surrounding small crystals, and then activate the tail engine to crash into them.

A single jump missile could carry nearly a hundred swarm warheads, and a single crystal ship would often be attacked by multiple swarm missiles simultaneously. Taking into account the amount of interference and interception, each such jump missile could destroy over 20 frigate-class crystal ships.

It seems to have achieved a lot of results, but it is actually a very uneconomical deal. The cost of a jump missile is very expensive, and usually, it carries a single warhead with a large yield to attack high-value enemy targets.

Using this thing to attack frigates is like using a ballistic missile to swat mosquitoes. No matter how many are killed in one shot, it's a loss.

But Bai Yi had no other good solution.

The planetary fortress spacecraft is still some distance away from the battlefield. Although the close-range firepower of the spacecraft itself can cause devastating damage to the cluster of light spacecraft, the problem is that it cannot reach it.

So using a nuclear bomb to swatter mosquitoes is the only thing the new Mars rover can do at the moment.

"Warning, giant gravitational source warning."

Bai Yi knew that the guy he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

The Crystal Storm ships on the field actively flew to the sides and moved closer together, forming a hollow chrysalis-like structure. At the center of this chrysalis, a huge spatial crack slowly opened.

A large number of crystal spaceships are pouring out from the cracks, and the super crystal named Feima is entering the universe surrounded by a group of dreadnought-class crystals.

Feima still maintains the form after the last transformation.

Its color is still purple and its shell is still bumpy.

The heavy firepower on the field immediately aimed at the crystal, and the tachyon torrent suddenly hit the surface of Feima. This time, Bai Yi's attack was not hindered by the mysterious white light, but instead hit Feima's body firmly.

After the white afterglow of the tachyon cannon faded away, Bai Yi could clearly see through the high-power telescope that a large pit had appeared on the surface of Feima, and at the bottom of the pit there was a lot of liquid emitting orange-red light.

That is the crystal structure on her surface, a fluid formed by melting at high temperature.

Feima's light trembled the moment it was hit, and then quickly became brighter.

Apparently, the attack just now did not cause much harm to him, but instead angered her.

A thick purple laser suddenly shot out from its surface and slammed into a defense platform on the side of the crystal.

The platform's shields and armor were pierced like a thin layer of paper by the kilometer-wide laser attack. The entire platform was blasted into gold dust in the blink of an eye.

Then the laser beam did not dissipate, but began to rotate along the surface of the crystal in an inclined orbit. So the laser beam scanned the entire crystal in a few minutes.

Under the immense power of the laser, Bai Yi suffered heavy losses. Several of his tachyon cannons were completely damaged by direct hits, and a hole was torn in the frontline firepower network.

Even the New Mars Fortress was affected by this attack. Fortunately, the ship's shield was strong enough to withstand the attack without suffering any damage.

However, the enemy hadn't emerged unscathed from the previous attack. During the laser strike, the outer crystal spacecraft still retained its chrysalis structure. After the laser passed through, the entire chrysalis was split in two. Between the two chrysalis, a vacuum zone stretched over ten kilometers wide. This zone was once teeming with small Crystal Storm spacecraft, but now, under the intense heat, they had been transformed into elementary particles.

Despite the loss of many ships, Crystal Storm still held an absolute advantage in terms of overall strength. Besides a vast number of conventional ships and Feima, they also possessed a dreadnought-class super crystal.

Each of these crystals was over a dozen kilometers long, rivaling the Galactic Alliance's dreadnoughts in firepower and survivability. Their enhanced armor allowed them to withstand intense artillery fire, while their high energy density allowed them to unleash their fire on their targets with impunity.

Unlike ordinary crystal soldiers, these dreadnoughts could attack multiple targets simultaneously. Bai Yi had just witnessed one of them use six lasers to simultaneously destroy three of his defense platforms.

"Holy crap! Do you know how expensive this thing is?"

Bai Yi pushed the throttle of the new Mars to the maximum. The engine of the fortress spacecraft made a dull sound, and the entire planet trembled slightly under the powerful power.

The Dreadnought fired another salvo, destroying over a dozen defense platforms. Following closely, the Feima launched another attack. Although no longer sweeping like before, this time it also split into a dozen laser beams, each with an exploding defense platform at the end.

"Feima!"

Bai Yi cursed loudly in the public channel.

"Your mother is burning in my boiler, it's powerful!"

With Bai Yi's full support, the planetary fortress finally arrived at a position relatively close to the battlefield. At this time, there was a delay of about one second between the launch and the impact of the equatorial railgun.

Although the delay is not that big, it is still difficult to hit Feima directly because she is constantly maneuvering.

So, under Bai Yi's command, the railgun began to fire in a volley. The ammunition used in the volley was somewhat special, equipped with a proximity fuse. It would automatically explode when it approached the target, forming a layer of oil curtain around the target that could reflect tachyon waves.

By observing the distribution of the oil curtain, the landing point of the railgun can be easily calibrated.

This process is called calibration. It's essential preparation before a large-caliber kinetic artillery fires a weapon. After all, in reality, a shell isn't fired from the center of the scope. Due to recoil and aiming deviation, the shell's final impact point actually falls within a circular area.

This is called the dispersion circle.

The purpose of calibration shooting is to cover the target you want to attack with a dispersion circle, and then you can start shooting effectively, and everyone starts to try their luck and try to spread the dispersion.

Whoever is blessed by God will be able to cause casualties when the shells land on the target.
