Tom had already confirmed that the enemy warships possessed the ability to intercept small targets.
This was yet another capability completely different from his own, and far beyond his technological level.
When faced with bullets, the only thing he could do was stack armor thickness and rely on it to withstand the impact. But these hostile spacecraft could precisely intercept those projectiles, using methods that were either electromagnetic cannon rounds or laser beams.
But it didn't matter.
Even if your interception rate could reach 100%, with hundreds of billions of projectiles just sitting there for you to intercept, your interception equipment would overload and burn out before you could intercept even one percent!
When quantity exceeds a certain limit, it leads to a qualitative change. And clearly, this massive number of gunpowder gun bullets had precisely that effect.
