At the same time, the remaining planetary ships and the War Moon launched an attack on another crystal battle star.
This war star's reaction was obviously more clever than the previous one.
His brightness increased rapidly, and surging energy rushed from the central energy storage area to the outer layer.
The crystal components that make up the hardened shell of the war star began to change under the influence of this energy, their texture became harder and they had better defense.
But what is happening now still doesn't help.
Not to mention that there is simply not enough time to adjust the crystal battle star to its best condition in such a hurry.
Even if he made all the necessary preparations, he would still not be able to withstand the concentrated attacks from the planetary fortress spacecraft and the powerful firepower of the War Moon.
The second battle star lasted only a few seconds longer than the previous one before meeting the same fate.
The instant loss of two battle stars in a short period of time was a huge blow to the combat effectiveness of Crystal Storm on the field.
This is different from the Galactic Alliance, which uses dreadnoughts as the main force in large-scale combat.
Because of their inherent advantage in military strength.
Crystal Storm prefers to use large numbers to make up for the shortcomings in individual soldier quality.
When a complete Crystal Storm force is mobilized, they are often able to form a wall of crystals in the universe.
But because of this, Crystal Storm has been in a state of scarcity in high-end combat power for a long time.
In the huge crystal fleet, crystals above the battleship level are extremely rare in both variety and quantity.
At this level, the crystal storm can only be divided into two types: crystal battle stars and dreadnought-class crystals.
Unlike the Galactic Alliance, there are War Moon and Titan as transitions among the dreadnoughts and planetary fortress ships.
There is a gap between high-level units in Crystal Storm.
The size of a crystal battle star is often close to that of the Earth, while a Dreadnought-level crystal is only a little over 100 kilometers long.
However, there is a theoretical transitional tonnage between the two.
This level of crystal is called a super crystal. Yes, it is the Titan-class battleship in the Galactic Alliance.
However, there have been few concrete reports of supercrystals so far.
The only analytical sample that can be obtained is the super crystal "Fima" that was destroyed by the self-detonation of the star gate during the defense of the Leo Star Gate.
Super Crystals are the only units of Crystal Storm that exhibit special properties.
Its unique mica-like white appearance alone is enough to set it apart from a group of blue-purple crystals.
Not to mention the milky white weakening force field that is full of mysterious properties, and its ability to reshape itself with the help of other surrounding crystals after being destroyed.
After obtaining crystal samples collected from the battlefield, countless laboratories large and small in the galaxy are trying to replicate these two functions.
But so far, all attempts have failed.
After being reorganized, the super crystal has changed from milky white to the same blue-purple color as ordinary crystals, and its internal properties are no different.
There is nothing special about it except that it is harder and denser.
Is this so-called super crystal a real unit in the Crystal Storm Fleet, or a special individual caused by an accident?
Until we gain further understanding of the Crystal Storm, no one can tell for sure.
Therefore, this has become an unsolved case.
Let's get back to the battlefield.
There were a total of seven crystal battle stars that were attacked this time, although two of them had been destroyed by the preemptive strikes from the planetary fortress spacecraft and the War Moon.
But the remaining five war stars still stood firm.
The cooldown time of the Destruction Beam is very long, and although the War Moon's main gun cools down faster, it still takes several hours.
Other conventional weapons are even less likely to cause sufficient damage to the crystal battle star in a short period of time.
Therefore, in addition to the planetary and satellite-level spacecraft that kept the crystal battle star under control, the rest of the fleet concentrated its firepower mainly on other crystals.
To this day, crystal storms continue to leave the warp and arrive in the current area.
Crystal Storm has discovered the existence of the trap and has begun attacking the 16 Storm Beacons.
But in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Bai Yi invested a lot of money in these beacons.
Each of these 16 beacons has armor and shield protection that exceeds that of a flagship, plus fire support from all directions.
It is extremely difficult to destroy the beacon under the firepower of the entire fleet.
After paying a huge price, some crystals finally reached the beacon.
Their surface color quickly changes from predominantly purple to blue.
This is the crystal switching to melee mode.
In melee mode, the crystal will no longer fire laser beams, but will instead attack with chain lightning called Sky Cloud Lightning.
After hitting the target, these lightning chains will bounce to nearby units and cause secondary damage.
In addition, Sky Cloud Lightning also has a penetrating effect, which can directly pass through shields and most armor and act directly on the target's structure.
In the early days of the Galaxy Defense War.
Due to a lack of understanding of the enemy, the Galactic Alliance suffered a great loss at the hands of these leaping blue lightnings.
But now, countless laboratories scattered across the galaxy are working through the night.
Shield hardening and armor hardening technologies came into being.
After ships are equipped with hardening technology, their shields and armor layers will be immune to the penetration effect of Sky Cloud Lightning, and will also have stronger resistance when facing other weapons with penetrating effects.
Although due to time and cost constraints, only flagship-class ships have completed the full replacement.
However, conventional spacecraft have also developed their own coping methods after being beaten for a long time.
Almost all the conventional ships participating in this operation have been equipped with long-range combat kits.
All the spaceships were firing at the upper limit of their effective range. Once they found themselves in danger of being targeted, they would immediately jump out of their daggers and run away.
This is also thanks to Bai Yi's presence.
With the support of the Golden Ball's powerful multi-threaded concurrent processing capabilities, he could process data from almost all spacecraft simultaneously and detect the attack intentions of the Crystal Storm Group in advance.
Since the Crystal Storm will have a process of accumulating power and emitting light when launching an attack, Bai Yi can completely prepare the spaceship's posture and direction in advance, and activate the jumping knife at the moment the opponent opens fire.
Doing so will not only allow the locked Alliance warship to escape danger, but also waste the opponent's round of concentrated fire, accumulating some advantages for your side.
