General Harrier already knew that the opponent’s unmanned combat system possessed considerable strength.
But he never imagined that the opponent’s unmanned combat system would be so powerful!
This power was not reflected in performance.
In fact, in terms of performance alone, the opponent was still far inferior to his side.
Both were unmanned warships, but the opponent’s warships had much worse maneuverability than his own. The projectiles they launched had low attack power and slow speed, and most of them would be intercepted by his own unmanned warships’ radar systems.
In contrast, his own electromagnetic cannon projectiles could easily tear through the opponent’s interception line at speeds exceeding 20 kilometers per second, directly destroying the opponent.
There was a huge gap in performance, but the opponent’s unmanned combat system had a higher degree of intelligence!
Those unmanned spacecraft, space mines, interstellar missiles, turrets, spy satellites, and so on, were actually able to achieve a certain degree of overall coordination, working together to achieve specific strategic objectives.
For example, some of the opponent’s space mines activated at just the right time, forcing his unmanned fleet to intercept them with all their might and maneuver in another direction. But in that other direction, a large number of unmanned warships had already gathered simultaneously, fiercely unleashing artillery fire.
Thus, in an instant, his unmanned fleet found itself in a dilemma, forced to flee in haste after suffering some casualties.
This tactical coordination seems simple, but in the extremely chaotic and vast unmanned battlefield, where the situation changes rapidly, achieving it is extremely difficult.
Because there are too many influencing factors. To grasp the overall situation in such a short time, and then from the whole to the details, comprehensively consider countless influencing factors, and make such intelligent judgments in an extremely short time, how high an intelligence does that require?
At least his side’s quantum supercomputing war AI could not do it!
It wasn’t that the computing power wasn’t enough, but that the intelligence wasn’t enough!
This intelligent operation also couldn’t possibly be carried out by intelligent life.
The reason is simple: this is just a small detail in the battlefield, and opportunities appear and disappear in an instant. The human brain cannot detect such a small detail in such a vast battlefield, nor can it react so quickly!
This can only be a judgment made by an intelligent AI!
So, how did they manage to make their war AI possess such powerful intelligence?
Looking at the battlefield situation, and seeing such intelligent operations constantly appearing, a scene naturally emerged in Harrier’s mind.
He seemed to vaguely see the scene from ancient times, when the ancestors, armed with crude weapons, encircled and hunted powerful elephant beasts.
The elephant beasts were massive, extremely powerful in attack, and had thick hides. The ancestors were small in stature and weak in strength, seemingly no match for the elephant beasts.
But the ancestors, relying on their wisdom, ultimately killed the powerful elephant beasts. Just like now, his unmanned combat weapons are so powerful, yet they are being continuously annihilated by a comparatively much weaker opponent who is relying on intelligence...
In the underground base on Triton, Tom, who was simultaneously manipulating two hundred million clones for urgent production tasks and nervously preparing for battle, also gained many insights from this unmanned combat system war.
The opponent’s strength somewhat exceeded his expectations. Follow current novᴇls on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱
The performance of unmanned spacecraft, the performance of missiles, the performance of electromagnetic cannons, laser cannons, the performance of communication systems, the performance of thrusters...
And so on, almost every type of equipment had better performance than his side.
All combined, it almost formed a generational gap!
He saw that the total of 100 supercomputers supporting this unmanned operation, whether located on supercomputing ships or on Neptune satellites, were now operating at their full capacity, with computing power utilization almost all maintained above 80%.
Under the massive cooling system, enormous heat was constantly being removed. But even so, the internal temperature of the supercomputers still remained at a high level.
Just barely maintaining the current situation already required the full effort of the Goku AI, which he had spent countless resources training!
At this moment, what Tom saw from the starry sky was not tens of thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles fighting, but countless fierce giant apes clad in armor and wielding golden staffs, battling against a sky full of demons!
Every giant ape was covered in wounds and panting heavily. But every giant ape was still fighting desperately, refusing to retreat, firmly blocking the attacking sky full of gods and demons!
"Fortunately, fortunately, since more than a hundred years ago, I have been continuously improving the performance of unmanned combat equipment, and at the cost of tens of thousands of warships destroyed and millions of clones dead, to improve Goku AI’s performance. Only now can I barely stop the opponent and avoid a collapse in the unmanned combat phase."
At this moment, Tom’s heart was filled with solemnity.
In the space battlefield, the attrition of various unmanned combat equipment reached an astonishing level.
Therefore... production in the rear cannot be relaxed! All combat materials such as space mines, nuclear missiles, turrets, satellites, unmanned warships, chemical fuels, nuclear fuels, projectiles, explosives, and so on, must be produced at the fastest speed!
Not a moment of slack!
Tom decisively made his decision.
At the same time, on the flagship of the Bluetoth Fleet’s front-line command, General Harrier, realizing that his unmanned combat forces were being continuously encircled and annihilated, also made an immediate decision.
The previously formulated combat plan had to be revised!
The original plan called for deploying thirty thousand manned elite warships into battle, but now it seemed that this number was insufficient.
Another ten thousand manned warships had to be added!
At the same time, manned warships had to be deployed to the battlefield earlier. If the unmanned battlefield couldn’t gain an advantage, then they would use the manned fleet to turn the tide!
Don’t forget, in the interstellar battlefield, no matter how powerful an unmanned combat system is, it can only play an auxiliary role. The decisive factor will ultimately only be humans, and can only be humans!
With the assistance of the war AI, the vast staff team immediately began to formulate a new combat plan. A moment later, a series of adjustment plans were fully formulated and immediately put into execution.
From the approximately sixty thousand warships surrounding Neptune, guarding against external support and serving as reserves, several of the largest warships were dispatched, leading a total of over ten thousand small and medium-sized warships, and with the assistance of their unmanned combat forces, they boldly charged toward the battlefield from seven different directions.
The original thirty thousand warships also truly joined the battlefield at this moment.
Tom’s heart grew heavier.
"Has the time for a direct confrontation finally arrived? Good, very good..."
Under Tom’s control, and with the assistance of the Goku AI, a total of over one hundred thousand warships also left their respective bases, flying from the Neptune satellites, and charged toward the vast, chaotic battlefield.
