The war situation began to tilt towards the Galactic Alliance.
After two battle stars were destroyed in succession, Crystal Storm launched a full-scale attack on the traps set by Bai Yi.
The Crystal Battle Star turned its guns and began to attack the Storm Beacon with all its might.
They no longer protected other crystal ships. Those secondary conventional crystals were just consumables that could be produced in batches for the entire population.
War stars are their most important resource.
The five existing battle stars can no longer hold the front line, and they must retreat before the losses increase further.
Under the desperate attacks of multiple war stars and countless crystal spaceships, the Alliance firepower that had been maintained around the Storm Beacon was actually suppressed.
Under the immense pressure, the shields of one of the Storm Beacons began to crumble, and its shield exploded from the overload. A massive fireball broke through the protective shell and erupted from the beacon's midsection.
At this point, Bai Yi no longer held back.
The entire fleet opened fire at full capacity, and all the dreadnoughts entered battle mode.
In this mode, the Dreadnought will direct the engine's energy into the defense and attack modules, which will greatly enhance the Dreadnought's standing shooting capability.
Although it also makes it a fixed target, because dreadnoughts are originally arranged in battle lines when attacking, mobility is actually the least important attribute.
After the dreadnought entered battle mode, the aircraft carrier was also fully deployed on the battlefield.
A large number of suicide drones swarmed out from the aircraft carrier's bays.
In the previous battle, the reason why Bai Yi did not use these drones was to find a big target for them.
After all, there are only so many drones in total, and using one less is one less.
Now that we have such a high-value target as the Crystal Battle Star, there is naturally no reason to keep hiding it.
In addition to a large number of suicide drones, the electronic warfare and engineering warfare equipment on the aircraft carrier also began to be turned on at full power.
Several invisible force fields were launched from different aircraft carriers, dividing the entire battlefield into many pieces in a funnel shape starting from the aircraft carriers.
All ships within these blocks will be slowed down and energy neutralized.
Although this effect is very weak on a single target, due to the huge number of targets in the Crystal Storm, the aircraft carrier's results are the most significant.
Under the effect of the stagnation entanglement pulse wave projector, the crystal cluster that was originally huddled together began to be torn apart from the middle.
Crystals affected by winding become disconnected from the rest of the ribbon due to the limited maximum speed.
This gave the Galactic Fleet a better shooting window, allowing them to strike directly from the fault zone into the center of the Crystal Storm cluster, further disrupting the enemy's formation and increasing the disconnect between the front and rear sections of the target.
On the other hand, the Energy Neutralizing Pulse Projector disrupted the Crystal Storm's firing rate.
Because the crystal fleet was divided into hundreds of tiny fragments, some of the crystals in these fragments were disturbed by energy neutralization while others were not.
At the same time, the amount of energy that is ultimately neutralized varies due to factors such as the crystal's physical condition, signal radius, and distance from the same pulse field.
Therefore, these crystals can no longer complete the concentrated fire with the best efficiency as before.
For example, the original Crystal Storm units can fire once every two seconds, but all Crystal Storm units with the same configuration will use the same period to fire synchronously.
As long as this type of attack can hit the target, it can often cause very high damage in an instant and can easily break through the target's defense.
But now, due to the existence of the energy neutralization pulse, half of the crystals are affected by the energy neutralization effect, and the firing rate becomes 2.3 to 2.5 seconds.
As a result, the crystals could no longer fire at high speeds like before.
The opposing commander has only two choices.
Either let the crystals fight on their own, and reduce the loss of DPS of the entire crystal cluster as much as possible by sacrificing burst power.
Either all crystals should reduce the shooting cycle to 2.5 seconds, and give up a considerable amount of firepower density for the sake of some individuals who are severely affected by the comprehensive energy.
Doing so will inevitably result in a significant reduction in DPS, but the advantage is that it can ensure the original dph, that is, the single-round projection amount remains almost unchanged.
But no matter which method the other party chooses, the pressure on the Galactic Alliance fleet will be greatly relieved.
The addition of aircraft carriers has greatly reduced the loss rate of Galactic Alliance spacecraft on the field. Many battleship-level spacecraft are no longer completely destroyed by rapid concentrated fire as before.
Instead, it endured enemy fire while receiving remote repairs from combat support ships and conventional logistics ships.
As one thing grows, the other shrinks, and Crystal Storm's living space is further compressed.
However, with the dazzling light of a tachyon bombardment, the remaining crystal storm on the field finally destroyed a storm beacon.
After the corresponding phase space interceptor failed, a gap appeared in the encirclement originally surrounded by the interceptor.
As long as you accelerate in the direction of this gap and get out of the range of other interceptors, you can activate the jump engine and enter the subspace.
Crystal Storm immediately took action.
Countless crystals formed a purple torrent, which surrounded the crystal battle stars and protected them from breaking out.
These battle stars do not include the one that was previously subjected to tachyon bombardment.
Tachyon bombing requires a large amount of energy. Even a being of the size of a crystal battle star cannot make a jump and break through in a short period of time after the bombing.
Therefore, he led a part of the crystals on the field to charge the Galactic Alliance fleet, trying to buy time for the evacuation of the friendly forces in this way.
But Bai Yi is not a fool, he can't just watch the other party break through.
The moment the storm beacon was destroyed, thousands of interceptor ships immediately broke away from the Alliance fleet's formation.
Countless flashes of light lit up in the universe, which was the light emitted when the interceptor ship's jumping knife was activated.
These Interceptors are special evolutions of Destroyers that can be equipped with a special piece of equipment called an Interceptor Bubble Launcher.
The latter can launch probes called bubbles, which have no power and cannot be retrieved.
After being launched, they will immediately enter an anchored state and form a huge bubble structure centered on themselves after a short delay.
Within this bubble area, all jump engines including jump knives will malfunction due to strong interference.
