The mass of the bullet is 6 grams, the muzzle velocity reaches 1 kilometer per second, and the overall kinetic energy of the projectile reaches 3 kilojoules. It is fired at a speed of one-fourth of the maximum firing rate, that is, 500 rounds per minute. In this way, a Mercury-class battleship can fire a thousand bullets per minute. There are still 480 warships at this moment, which means 480,000 rounds of bullets per minute. The machine guns were also roaring, and the heavy and faster shells were aimed at the mother ship and the combat ships at intervals of more than 100,000 kilometers, flying one after another. More than a thousand interstellar missiles, dragging long tails of flames, accelerated themselves to a maximum speed of 20 kilometers per second, and flew violently towards the enemy's mothership and warships. Not only that, they also flexibly change their routes during flight, always keeping a close eye on their opponents. Such a fierce attack would be unbearable for the opponent even if it was only equipped with weapons from the gunpowder age. So, when the cluster of Mercury-class battleships approached a certain position and the attack became more fierce - after all, the closer the distance, the higher the accuracy, the shorter the flight time of the projectile, and the higher the difficulty of interception - those hostile warships finally couldn't help it, and once again, about 20 ships flew out, trying to annihilate the Mercury-class battleships. Li Qingsong did not hesitate and decisively started the engine to maximum power. At the same time, he turned off the spacecraft's attitude control system and even used the recoil of bullets and shells. He did not care whether he could aim at the target or not. He just fired the projectiles indiscriminately while retreating with all his strength. In this case, the reverse acceleration of 480 Mercury-class battleships reached an unprecedented power.
Although more than 30 warships were destroyed again, the remaining approximately 450 warships managed to escape. At this time, Li Qingsong was no longer able to launch a second wave of attack. The reason is simple: the spacecraft has run out of fuel. Not only the warships, but also the supplies in the cargo ships were used up. But it doesn't matter. At this moment, the first wave of supply containers has arrived. So these warships swarmed in front of the container, completed the supply while flying at high speed, and then began to rush towards the mother ship like a swarm of bees. While attacking the mother ship, they also strafed the ground of the enemy planet. When the number of warships dropped to less than 400, new warships for follow-up supplies also arrived, so the number of warships finally stopped falling and rebounded, and the intensity of harassment attacks increased again. After repeating this several times, the opponents seemed to gradually come to their senses and realized that Li Qingsong just wanted to harass them, force them to launch a counterattack and consume their already limited supplies, so they also changed their tactics. They stopped attacking Li Qingsong's warships and instead began to intercept the supply boxes flying over from Luoshen Star! We have no supplies, so we'll destroy yours too! Without supplies, let's see how you can harass us! At this time, Li Qingsong chose to stay aside obediently, allowing them to destroy the supply boxes that had flown more than 40 million kilometers, with an indifferent look. Are you kidding? What was my original purpose? Isn't it just to consume the little fuel you have left? Forcing you to attack my warships is a consumption, but it is not a consumption if you set out to intercept supply boxes? Intercept, intercept as much as you can, see how much you can intercept. I'm not afraid that you will use the fuel for your own use. Can you use gunpowder bullets, gunpowder shells, or chemical fuels, which are such coarse grains, for your sophisticated spacecraft?
Sometimes, being behind is also an advantage. So after destroying thousands of supply boxes, the enemy seemed to come to its senses again and began to stay around the mother ship obediently and no longer set out to intercept. "Oh? You're not going to intercept? If you don't intercept, I can resupply you." So the Mercury-class battleship flew to the supply tank in a swagger, filled up its fuel, loaded up its bullets and shells, and filled up its missile launchers, then launched another desperate attack, and then faced a counterattack and fled again. But this time things seem to be different. Originally, they should have returned after chasing for a distance. But this time, all the other warships returned, but one of them was still charging desperately, speeding up desperately, as if it would not stop until it was killed. Li Qingsong was overjoyed. "This is a desperate collapse. This battleship has collapsed. Are the crews of your other battleships about the same?" Li Qingsong did not hold back and directly used machine guns and cannons to fight back against the fierce bombardment of electromagnetic cannon projectiles. After paying the price of more than a dozen warships being destroyed, Li Qingsong finally reaped his first victory. Destroy an enemy ship! While this battleship was being besieged, all the other enemy warships stayed beside the mother ship and did not move at all. No rescue, no forward cover, nothing. They just watched helplessly as the battleship was destroyed by themselves. An atmosphere of sadness and despair began to spread on the battlefield. Of course, that's for the opponents. Li Qingsong was full of energy and fighting spirit at this moment. After realizing that his opponent was about to collapse mentally, Li Qingsong finally made the most important decision since the war began. The emperor leads the army in person! It's time to reap the fruits of victory! The ten newly manufactured warships formed a formation, and Li Qingsong's consciousness was transferred to one of the clones, flying towards the enemy star 40 million kilometers away. When Li Qingsong's real body finally arrived, the opponent's warships had been damaged to only 5, and all of them were riddled with holes and scars. Because Li Qingsong deliberately held back, the mothership was damaged in many places, but it still remained generally intact. Li Qingsong's real body arrived, and the communication delay that had troubled Li Qingsong for a long time finally disappeared. As a result, the Mercury-class battleship cluster, with its combat effectiveness greatly increased, did not take long to destroy the last five battleships that were resisting stubbornly. Finally, a warship arrived at the mother ship. After violently blowing open the hatch, the fully armed clones rushed in. In front of him, an intelligent creature with silver-white scales all over his body and a body shape roughly similar to that of a human was lying on the ground with his hands and knees prostrated, as if expressing his submission in this way.
Li Qingsong didn't hesitate and took him under control. Thousands of subsequent clones quickly poured in, searched every room of the spacecraft, and captured all of the 300 or so surviving aliens. All the aliens who had been hiding in the underground base of the enemy planet and had luckily escaped being killed were searched out and locked up together, with only about 1,000 left in total. They were chattering there, but Li Qingsong couldn't understand anything. But it doesn't matter, any language and writing has its own internal logic and rules. As long as the number of samples is large enough, you can master the entire language system they use. Li Qingsong mobilized more than 1,000 brainpower to analyze their language and writing. So after just a few days, Li Qingsong completely mastered it. The interrogation can begin.
