Chapter 681: Victory of Psychic Power
Is there any way to reverse the pressure of the tetrapod?
When it comes to psychic confrontation, Gu Hang no longer has any good ideas.
If you relax a little, a neurozoan might be exposed. In a naval battle, if it suddenly attacks and tears the void shield of a giant alliance ship, the Zerg fleet can severely damage it with a wave of concentrated fire.
Losing a ship is unacceptable.
Not only is it a huge loss, but it also directly affects the outcome of the war.
Since there is no way to fight against psychic energy, we naturally have to look for a way in the real universe.
The good news is that the human fleet is in an advantageous position in the naval battle. Gu Hang seems to be able to count on Ye Lixia to command the fleet and destroy the Hive Fleet while he blocks the psychic damage of the Neurozoa.
In particular, you can first destroy the biological ship carrying these four neurozoa.
Gu Hang also reported their locations to Ye Lisia.
There was indeed one ship that was destroyed.
However, another characteristic of biological ships is revealed here - they can die but will not explode.
Unlike ships of humans and greenskins, when a ship is severely damaged, it often causes a series of explosions inside the ship. That is not limited to places such as ammunition compartments, energy compartments, and power compartments. There are too many places on the ship that are fragile and full of energy. These places will not only explode, but may also cause a chain reaction, causing the internal system to rise in temperature, exceeding the warning line, and other places will explode.
But biological ships won't.
The rounds of fire that hit the body, especially those that broke through the armor and caused actual damage, would certainly accumulate the damage and eventually cause the biological ship to die due to its inability to keep up with its self-recovery speed, but it would rarely cause an internal explosion.
It's not completely impossible. For example, a human cannon could hit some high-energy biological cannon fuel converted from biomass.
But the probability is too low, and even if it exploded, the effect it would cause inside the 'solid' biological ship would not be as severe as the explosion of the ammunition depot of a human ship.
In this case, as long as the location of the neuron is not in such a dangerous place, it will be difficult to be affected.
Even if the biological ship died, its huge body could still maintain activity for a long time. The neuron protozoa could still stay in the so-called safe place and continue to fight against Gu Hang with psychic energy.
Unless the heavy artillery of the human ship just hits the location of the neuroprotozoa in the biological ship, it will be difficult to destroy it.
Moreover, these biological battleships carrying the neuron protozoa are the largest, strongest, and most powerful. They are located at the core of the Zerg fleet array and are heavily guarded. How easy is it to destroy them?
All these reasons combined make it quite difficult to achieve the plan of directly eliminating the neurozoa in the real universe and thus affecting the psychic confrontation.
In fact, Ye Lixia has made such an attempt.
Under her command, human ships patiently stripped away the small ships on the periphery of a biological battleship loaded with neuroprotozoa, and then several main battleships suddenly moved forward, creating an angle from which they could concentrate their fire on the biological battleship.
The effect was very significant. Before the biological battleship had time to call for more ships to fill the gaps in the array, it was killed by the concentrated fire of several human battleships.
The human fleet also paid a price. Several human battleships that ventured forward to find a better shooting angle were also hit by the Zerg's concentrated fire. Among them, the void shield of the Yuehe battlecruiser was overloaded, and then several heavy artillery shells hit the ship, one of which even hit a vital part, directly causing the ship to disintegrate.
After paying such a high price, there was indeed a result. One of the enemy's biological battleships was destroyed. From the perspective of war damage exchange, it was still acceptable. However, Ye Lixia's most anticipated goal of destroying a neuroprotozoan and relieving Gu Hang's pressure was not achieved. The worm was still inside the killed biological battleship, continuing to fight against Gu Hang.
It is not impossible to solve the problem completely: use several battleships, take another strategic risk, and at the cost of losing another battlecruiser or even a battleship, completely blow up the destroyed biological battleship.
This will ensure that no matter where the neuroprotozoan hides inside the biological ship, it will not escape the bombardment.
Although it seemed stupid to use a battlecruiser as a price to bombard the 'corpse' of a biological ship, Ye Licia was already seriously considering the feasibility of this matter.
At this moment, Gu Hang's voice sounded in her ears:
"Just be patient and prepare for the naval battle. You don't need to worry too much about the psychic confrontation. I will find a way."
Ye Lishia heard it.
She was somewhat unwilling, but she was not the kind of person who would make her own decisions after hearing it. No matter how much worry she had in her heart, she finally did not make her own decisions. Instead, she let go of the psychic confrontation that even someone like her who had no psychic talent could feel and even see with her own eyes, and concentrated on commanding the fleet.
In space, there can occasionally be psychic confrontations leaking out from the warp, which are rainbow waves that appear and disappear again and again, as big as a planet and so exaggerated.
And Ye Lisha pretended not to see it.
Returning to pure fleet command, the human fleet still maintains its advantage.
Although, in the short term, no more powerful biological battleships were destroyed, and both sides were only exchanging damage with small ships, the human fleet was clearly in the upper hand. With stronger firepower and less losses, some of the void shields were under great pressure and would be pulled to the rear by micromanipulation to wait for the void shield to recover. The Zerg fleet would do the same, but under the stronger firepower of humans, their tolerance rate was much smaller.
What's more, the human void shield can be quickly restored, and the damaged outer armor of the biological ship can also be differentiated and replenished through the biomass in the ship. However, to differentiate the corresponding tissues and organs, not only a large amount of biomass is required, but also some hard materials are needed for matching. What's more difficult is that the evolution of armor organs also takes time, and it is definitely much slower than the recovery speed of the human void shield.
Don't seek any special tricks, just fight slowly and gradually expand the results of the battle until you cross the balance point between the confrontation between the two sides. Then it is time to reap all the results of the battle.
As long as there are no surprises in the psychic confrontation, the outcome of this war will not be a surprise.
Ye Lixia has this kind of confidence.
…
What can Gu Hang do in the face of psychic power?
Actually, no.
If he had, he would have used it long ago.
But Gu Hang does have a way to reverse the situation. It is not simply to comfort Ye Lixia, nor is it to take most of his belongings to the gambling table to compete with very low odds.
Gu Hang’s method is actually still in the real universe.
But to start, you have to start from the subspace.
There is a ship in the area where even the indigenous demons in the subspace have fled due to the intense psychic confrontation.
It was wrapped in Gu Hang's spiritual power and hidden behind the Kingdom of Storm God, undiscovered and unaffected.
Gu Hang sent a message to the ship, asking: "Captain Su Lie, are you ready?"
Su Lie gave him an affirmative answer.
A moment later, a huge crack was torn in the curtain between the subspace and the real universe!
This crack appeared in the middle of the Zerg fleet.
Immediately afterwards, a majestic warship sailed out from the subspace rift.
Although many traces of battle could be seen on the ship, the majestic figure and the flamboyant phoenix wings on both sides of the bow were so shocking.
This is the flagship of the Phoenix Chapter. It was designed by the Emperor himself ten thousand years ago and built by the great sages of the Mechanicum of Mars with all their efforts as the flagship of the Space Marine Legion. It is the Queen of Glory-class battleship - Phoenix Crown!
The most powerful bow cannon of Phoenix Crown Feather, the Holy Martial Cannon from ten thousand years ago, approached and opened a big hole in the lower side of a biological battleship loaded with protozoa!
Not only was the heavy armor of the biological battleship pierced instantly, but the aircraft inside was also pierced - no, not only pierced, this bow cannon possessed some kind of magical technology, possessing the characteristics of both energy weapons and macro cannons. The aircraft behind the pierced part was shattered by the spreading energy and the scattered solid shells!
With just this one shot, such a biological battleship was "killed".
At the same time, the neurozoan inside that was engaging in psychic combat with Gu Hang was also hit.
He didn't even have time to draw back his spiritual power to protect himself and was killed directly.
One of his psychic opponents was gone, and Gu Hang's pressure was reduced immediately.
Although he still couldn't spare any time to do anything, at least the vicious cycle of Storm Mages dying constantly that he was most worried about was finally curbed.
But this was far from the limit of the Glorious Queen class. On one of its sides, it was facing a biological battleship loaded with neuroprotozoa.
While the huge guns at the bow were firing, the broadsides were also firing.
Although not as powerful as the Shengwu cannon on the bow, there are more of them.
Under the broadside bombardment, the biological battleship did not survive for long.
The Queen of Glory class battleship was a top-level warship that far surpassed the battleship level. For the Empire, it was a "holy object". The combat power it demonstrated was worthy of its name.
The Phoenix Crown Feathers even had enough energy to spare, and after killing the biological battleship with its broadside firepower, they were able to direct several more waves of firepower at the lifeless wreckage, completely destroying it and killing the protozoa inside.
On the other hand, the broadside firepower did not have such a good target to hit, but with indiscriminate firing, it still destroyed several biological ships equivalent to the level of human cruisers.
The Zerg fleet's formation was in chaos.
Ye Licia also received the news in advance. After seeing the chaos in the Zerg fleet, she issued orders sharply and decisively. The human fleet no longer deployed an offensive and defensive formation and began to advance at full speed.
Her actions provided a good support effect for Phoenix Crown Feathers, and as the entire fleet pressed forward, the pressure on Phoenix Crown Feathers would also decrease. At the same time, the entire Zerg fleet would also be greatly killed in the chaos.
The most crucial changes occurred on the psychic battlefield.
Almost in an instant, after losing the pressure from the two protozoa, Gu Hang's spiritual power was immediately released and became active.
On the one hand, he once again tore open the subspace rift and threw countless heroic warriors into a biological battleship carrying neurozoa.
The number of Heroic Spirits directly sent through the subspace rifts is too large to be matched by conventional psychic transmission. Even the hatchery in the biological ship has been trying its best to release soldier bugs to fight against the Heroic Spirits, but it is still not enough for the time being.
If we give them more time, perhaps they will be able to hatch enough insects to deal with the heroes.
But who would give them that much time?
The Zerg was not afraid of life or death, and coincidentally, neither were the Heroic Spirits. They pushed the battle line to a position close to the Neurozoa with a crazy attitude.
The neurozoan felt threatened and drew out a portion of its spiritual power. With one surge, it wiped out the most advanced group of heroic spirits.
However, even though the Heroic Spirits died, the Space Marines would not be killed so easily.
Gu Hang also contacted the Shadow Regiment that had been on standby, and with the power of psychic transmission, he instantly sent them to the side of the neurozoan that was haunted by the heroic spirit.
This group of Space Marines, who were created with the genes of the Phoenix and proportionally upgraded to the champion and model levels, blew up the wall of flesh and blood with good training and began to surround and kill the neurozoan.
Six hundred shadow warriors, with more than two hundred sacrifices, finally destroyed the neurozoan.
And the last one is much easier to cook.
With only one neurozoan left, Gu Hang's spiritual power took over. In the confrontation, the neurozoan was completely suppressed. In the end, Gu Hang directly annihilated its spiritual power and destroyed its body with thunder from the sky.
At this point, Gu Hang won a great victory in the psychic confrontation.
Turning his head again, he was able to observe the entire battlefield from a higher dimension. The Zerg fleet was still resisting stubbornly, and the human fleet was also paying a price to destroy these biological ships.
But the losses between the two sides are completely disproportionate.
Gu Hang planned to make another effort. Now that he was completely liberated, he could just tear open the subspace rift in the same way as before, send in the Einherjar, and then cooperate with the Shadow Regiment or other Space Marines to destroy those important biological ships from the inside.
However, the shadow of the subspace loomed over.
Across countless galaxies, Gu Hang seemed to be able to look directly into the eyes of the Queen Insect behind the shadow.
His resentful look made Gu Hang chuckle.
