Chapter 449: The curtain of war begins
Alien creatures wreak havoc on the cities and coasts of the sea, but many in the federal hierarchy breathe a sigh of relief.
To date, no infections have been reported.
What officials fear most is the kind of efficient virus-propagating aberrations that Xenomorphs exhibit when they raid asteroid belt colonies.
One becomes ten, ten becomes hundred, hundreds of thousands, if that's the case, the earth falls, I'm afraid it's a matter of hours.
No matter what the cause is, as long as it is not contagious, this battle will be fought.
The remains of the monster have been rushed to the major biological research laboratories, and in a few hours, its physiological weakness can be analyzed.
Of course, huge losses have been done, and they are constantly rising, and not all ships have escaped like the Poseidon, and the Federation has received reports of the sinking of thirteen large ships in a row.
In Atlantic City, several sea monsters attack the underwater part of the city, which looks like a floating island.
The floating principle of this offshore city is the same as that of an offshore oil platform, in which modules are locked into each other, unfolding a spectacular floating island on the sea that is not affected by the stormy waves, and then building on the existing building foundation. Underwater, it is large-scale mariculture.
According to Xu Changqing's understanding, the marine ecology of this world was destroyed more than 100 years ago. Excessive fishing and the change in the composition of seawater caused by waste discharge have led to the emergence of large areas of seabed desert.
Even the famous tropical coral seas, which used to be known as underwater paradises, have become algae areas. This cactus-like creature in the desert is one of the few marine creatures that still thrives in nature.
The achievement of mankind is the full maturity of marine animal husbandry, similar to broilers, beef cattle, pigs and other aquatic species for breeding in large numbers, fish, shrimp, sea cucumbers, the variety is very rich.
Today, these sea creatures, which exist to feed the bellies of a large number of people, are completely incapable of living in the wild, and are being devoured by sea monsters.
This kind of monster has a high resemblance to a blue whale, but its size is dozens of times larger than that of an adult blue whale, so it is no problem to call it a biological battleship. After all, its length is close to or even greater than that of the Oberon.
They are so large that they can swim 35 knots, and the surges caused by drainage can be imagined, and they are not only like sharks and killer whales, but also have tentacles to use.
These rows of thick tentacles at the sides of the body resemble super-steel whips, piercing deep into the underwater part of the city at sea, then twisting and pulling, causing the earth of the city to tremble and emit a continuous sound of destruction.
One can imagine how much psychological pressure this brings to the people who are still hovering in the city.
The most frustrating thing is that humans have little restraint against them. When they burrow beneath the ocean city, the Sun God Light loses its ability to strike.
As for submarines and other weapons, the Federal Combat Command has asked them to evacuate first, save their strength, and wait for the special weapons to be in place before starting the war.
This has been proven time and time again, several large submarines of the same class as the Poseidon, when attacking the sea monster, were attacked by the strange fish released by several sea monsters, and before they could enter the state of supercavitation, they broke their muscles and bones, and then were gnawed beyond recognition, as if they were dismantled in all directions.
The sea city will sink, countless people will die, and the evacuation will become a stage to test human nature, and the evacuation points of several sea cities have had to shoot people who have a mental breakdown to stabilize the order.
According to the relevant regulations set by the Federation, children and young people are evacuated first, and senior technicians are also evacuated first, and the others have to wait.
The saddest problem now is that the sea passage is basically a road of death, and you can only leave it by air. The air transport capacity has always been the lowest in comparison.
At the same time, on the outskirts of the city, the mecha team has already engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the landing monsters.
The monster resembled a tangle of thick hemp rope, and its torso was roughly oblong, with many twine-like tentacles sticking out of this torso, the more slender it was towards the tip.
Their skin looks calloused, rhinoceros skin, rough kind, even with some rocky features, and is indeed as tough and heavy as it seems.
The twine monster was sprayed onto land by a sea monster, which many mechs have witnessed, thumping out of the water, and then tumbling to land.
After that, it rolls like a tumbleweed, and is very flexible, and can suddenly change direction by climbing various objects while moving.
Of course, the mecha warriors are not bad, the only thing that is not powerful is the Gauss rifles that seem to have a lot of firepower in their hands, and it is not easy to kill the hemp rope monster.
The flamethrower is just like that, and the hemp rope monster can actually pull the back against the high temperature flames.
The only consolation was that the Armament Bureau provided them with machetes.
When this weapon was first issued, it was ridiculed, and the officers and soldiers said how tragic the fight was, so that this weapon was needed?
Now it's used, and the hemp rope monster often uses the terrain to break through at high speed with a strange body style, and it is used to ride the face. Although the mecha warriors can also use the bonus of the mecha suit to play sports warfare, don't forget, they have a defense line to guard, once the monster breaks through the defense line, ordinary people and police will only be slaughtered.
Therefore, the white blade has to be white. The cold weapon materials of the Federal Weapons Agency are still passable, and the blade looks a little dull, but with the help of the mecha suit, it is not much different from cutting tofu when it is wielded with the help of the mecha suit.
The hemp rope monster also eats this more, and with a single knife, those tentacles can cut off several of them. There are a few mecha teams with white-knuckle combat specialties, and they are quickly assigned by the officers to solve the problem of teammates being protruded by hemp rope monsters.
Even so, since the annihilation efficiency could not keep up with the delivery efficiency of the monsters, the pressure on the mech team increased, and casualties began to appear, and reinforcements were sent like snowflakes.
The Federation Operations Command is quite sad, and there are few soldiers in wartime, and the whole world is fighting, and there are far from enough mecha soldiers. That's it, it was the president's family that made full use of their powers, as well as various political promises, that increased the overall production of mecha suits by 70% on the original basis, reaching about 50,000 units per day.
It's only five million units in 100 days, and five million can't hold the coastline, let alone add a large number of maritime cities.
At this time, someone jumped out and said: "Our capable biological weapons should be able to come in handy!" ”
In this context, something to make matters worse happened, and alien creatures also appeared on the moon, the heavy industry base of the Earth-Moon Federation, which also erupted from within.
Specifically, it started with live animals transported from this side of the earth, and neutron scans failed to detect anomalies, of course, not because of the scanner, but because there was no relevant comparison data.
The alien creatures disguised themselves as intestinal parasites of livestock, and their physiological structure matched the characteristics of the earth's carbon-based organisms, so they successfully broke through.
When they arrive on the moon, they are kept in captivity for a short period of time, and then they are slaughtered and sent to the kitchens of thousands of households.
Taking advantage of this opportunity of short-term captivity, the alien organism completed cross-infection.
This is an acute, malignant outbreak, a new breed of alien creatures that have been hatched through parasitic livestock, and they are latent monsters similar to aliens, they do not have blank strands of DNA, and they will not be as profane and filthy as aliens, but they already have better genes and can constantly adjust according to the environment.
The human team arrived quickly, but it was still a step too late, and there were more than 100 monsters that escaped, they were like rats burrowing into the city's huge sewer system, and it became extremely difficult to track down and eliminate them in time, so the area was closed at the same time, and the alarm sounded.
Unlike the earth, the use of a large amount of underground space has made the various cities on the moon very closely connected, and the convenient logistics channel has now become the biggest safety hazard.
Then, the even worse news came, with alien ship activity in the airspace between the Sun and Mercury.
When analysts discovered that the rudimentary ships that had been wrapped around human ships by alien creatures were undergoing meticulous airspace clearance, many people were already guessing what would happen next.
In fact, even after the discovery of the alien ship, the Federation had already sent a rapid response fleet. However, I am afraid that it is too late to see the time.
The Federation did not expect that the arrival of alien creatures would be from the inner star field, not from the outer star field or further from the edge of the solar system.
The alien creature's leaping behavior is too bold to catch humans off guard.
Not only the Earth-Moon Federation, the Republic of Mars, but Xu Changqing didn't expect the alien creatures to play like this.
And now that something has happened, it is indeed a bit unhurried to send ships over.
The only thing that can be counted on is the detachment hidden in the geosphere.
Although the three warships that were originally there left the geosphere after the explosion of Zahid's shuttle, it was actually only a change of guard, and the detachment originally stationed near the Friendship space station went to the geosphere.
That is to say, at present, in addition to the detachment of the geosphere, the closest detachment to the incident point has always been in the Martian sphere. On the asteroid belt, there are two fleets, that is, the six warships that took down Eros before.
Xu Changqing felt that his own battleship was quite usable, mainly because the light spear shooting of its bow gun could use AU as an attack unit.
AU is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, 149.6 million kilometers, and the light spear can hit so far. However, the alien creature's ship is not a fixed target, and in order to deal enough damage to it, it needs to be continuously irradiated. At least five seconds.
This is difficult, and the amount of real-time computing involved is difficult for the brain computer on board the battleship to bear.
Therefore, it is better to get closer to some before firing.
In the end, the three warships opened fire at a distance of about 90 million kilometers from the target, that is, they fired on this side, and it took about five minutes before they were hit.
The best chance to shoot is almost this once, and after the alien warship moves irregularly, it will be difficult to have such a hit rate again.
Three shots and two hits, one continued to irradiate for 7 seconds, and the other irradiated for about 3.5 seconds.
To be honest, the bombardment scene was very ordinary, the one that had been exposed for a long time finally disintegrated and exploded due to the continuous heating of the inside, and the other ship left terrible wounds, and the situation looked bad.
Without sound, no matter how good the show is, it can't come out. Mr. Li Xuejian's advertising slogan is very reasonable. The alien ship was bombed, but it didn't relieves it at all, and it wasn't as good as shooting a paper target with a pistol.
But the rest of the picture is quite satisfying.
The alien leap fleet arrived, and the previous work of clearing the airspace of the hulled ships was greatly reduced by the explosion of the ship, and the jump fleet directly collided with those bursting debris.
Disaster, more than a giant ship, the impact surface has a ripple-like twists and turns, this twists and turns are accompanied by the effect of a continuous explosion of the glass wall of the building, silently shattering, from the perspective of Xu Changqing's detachment, in the background of the sun's rays, the colored paper ceremonial flower tube exploded like a splendor.
Naturally, the detachment would not miss this opportunity to beat the water dogs.
In fact, not only this detachment, but even the detachment that came from Mars shut down the propulsion system and opened fire with all its might. The shooting distance is exceeded, but if you hit it, you can earn it, and the opportunity is rare.
Both the Federation and the Republic have observed this targeting, which is quite gratifying, but more of it is still covered by dark clouds, and the number of leaping fleets of alien creatures is huge, according to statistics, the number is more than 35,000, each of which is a giant warship with a length of kilometers, and six warships are targeted, which can be described as a drop in the bucket......
