Compared with energy weapons, kinetic weapons have a longer range, but the hit rate is much lower.
Because laser weapons basically hit the target as soon as they are fired, while kinetic weapons require a long flight time.
The flight time is long, and there is generally no way to adjust the direction after launch, which means that the enemy ship may move, and the kinetic attack will fall into the air.
However, in order to avoid these defects, kinetic weapons generally estimate the enemy's flight trajectory in advance and make various advance preparations.
Another way to deal with it is to strike like splashing water. The advantage of kinetic weapons is that the ammunition is cheap, unlike energy weapons which require a long time to store energy.
The firing rate of kinetic weapons is much faster, and the difference in quantity can make up for the lack of hit rate.
As Li Xin's orders were given, various kinetic weapons installed on frigates and destroyers began to fire one after another.
The frigate is equipped with two types of kinetic weapons: a small railgun and a coilgun. The railgun is more powerful but has a slower rate of fire.
The coil gun has a fast firing speed and high accuracy, but its power is a little weaker and its effective range is a little shorter.
However, it is still enough to use on the battlefield against void worms.
The destroyers are mainly equipped with material acceleration cannons. This type of weapon has a fast rate of fire, relatively stable damage, and consumes cheap ammunition.
Twenty frigates and eight destroyers opened fire at the same time, and suddenly a large rain of bullets appeared in space.
These projectiles are not simply solid structures, but are filled with neutron explosives.
As long as it hits the target, it can cause damage to the target with the help of high-energy neutron radiation explosion.
And these shells, accelerated by kinetic energy, have a certain probability of directly penetrating the outer defenses of the void worms, and the explosion inside is even more powerful.
Dense rain of bullets flew towards the void worms in space.
“Boom!!!”
Although the flying speed of the shells was not as fast as that of lasers, it was much faster than that of ships, and soon hit the void worms that had just experienced a space torpedo attack.
At this time, the void worms also discovered the ships attacking them, and now they had made eye contact.
The void worms finally found an target to attack. They turned around, staring at the attacks of the human ships, and chased after the fleet.
This pursuit fell into the trap of the human fleet. The human ships were relatively scattered, almost in all directions.
There is a long distance between each ship, and the void worms are forced to disperse and pursue.
After turning around, the void worms also lost the speed of inertial acceleration they had always had. At normal speed, compared with human ships, although they were faster, they were not much faster.
If you want to catch up with human ships in this way, it will be quite difficult.
Human ships are constantly firing. The hit rate of the shells is not high, but the advantage is the large quantity.
There were still many shells hitting the void worms. These shells carried great acceleration under the acceleration of the launcher, and some of them had sharp warheads that could penetrate the armor and penetrate under the skin of the void worms.
Then the explosives detonated inside the void worm's body. Although the explosive equivalent of each one was not large, as the number accumulated, the void worm's injuries became more and more serious.
However, the void worms did not fail to fight back. Their mouthparts continuously spewed out energy balls, which crossed the long distance between them and the ship and hit the ship's void shield.
Li Xin also recognized the attack power of these energy groups, which was in no way inferior to the main guns of destroyers.
But for the time being, these void worms have no intention of focusing their fire on a single warship.
This makes it impossible to cause too much damage to the ship for the time being.
The void shield outside the ship can protect the ship very well, especially when facing this kind of energy attack. As long as the void shield is not broken, the ship will not be caught up by the void worms.
Then the main bodies of these ships will basically not suffer any damage.
Li Xin was not afraid of this battle at all, even though the size of these void worms was equivalent to that of destroyers, and there were more than thirty of them in total.
In theory, this is basically equivalent to fighting a fleet of thirty destroyers.
But this is all theoretical. The combat intelligence of the void worms is obviously not as good as that of real ships.
Moreover, they have no way to enter the subspace, which means that once the void shield of Li Xin's fleet can no longer withstand it, they can enter the subspace to hide.
These ships can jump to a pre-set assembly point in the distance, restore the void shield there, and then look for opportunities to enter the battlefield.
Anyway, this group of void worms is still far away from the Tianjin four galaxies. Li Xin just needs to kill them all before they enter the galaxy.
At present, these void worms are Li Xin’s tool worms for training troops, so that these newly built ships and the clone soldiers in them can become familiar with the combat methods of space ships.
Soon, the first Void Worm that was targeted by concentrated fire was killed in space. There was almost no good skin left on its body, and it was covered with large holes caused by passive energy weapons.
Now almost every void worm has injuries on its body, and the distance between them is being shortened rapidly because they are chasing human ships.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before we get rid of these void worms.
The ships continued to fire, and Li Xin had already arrived at the distant mecha mothership through the shuttle.
He is now preparing to control the cavalry to test the Void Worm's close combat capabilities.
As a B-class mecha of the Cavalry, it will have no problem dealing with the Void Worms. In terms of normal movement speed, the Cavalry is faster than the Void Worms.
The data records that the void worms are good at grappling ships in close combat, but the mechas are not worried about this because the ships are grabbed because they are too large.
The mecha is only a little bit big, and the cavalry is only more than fifty meters long. Compared with the void worm that is more than seven hundred meters long, it is too small.
They are faster and smaller, and Li Xin also has psychic powers, so he is not worried about the void worms at all.
As for the C-level Rangers, Li Xin did not plan to let them fight. The Rangers were still a little slow, only slightly faster than the Void Worms.
It's not that he can't win, but Li Xin is worried about something going wrong. You know, he doesn't have many C-level psychics now, and he will be sad for several days if he loses one.
There is no need for them to go out this time. Anyway, they have already been on the battlefield when fighting the Walker Guardian before.
After entering the cockpit of the Cavalry, the mecha was ejected.
"Brave Cavalry!"
"start up!!"
