Mid-September.

The number of marine star beasts appearing in the East China Sea is increasing, and the preliminary estimate has reached 300 million.

This is a very scary number.

The population of the East China Sea is less than 30 million, and the proportion of awakened people is slightly higher than the world average, with more than 4 million awakened people.

The garrison army is one million, of which the number of awakened in the army is half a million.

However, the number of Ocean Star Beasts that need to be faced is 300 million.

The difference of this order of magnitude is too huge to be worrying.

The only thing that emboldens the people of the East China Sea is the huge scale of coastal defense artillery on the coastal defense line of the East China Sea.

Although there are awakened people in human beings, and the combat power of the awakened ones is also very strong, after all, human beings are a scientific and technological civilization, and the real advantage is the use of tools.

Weapons are also a kind of tools, so if humans want to fight against the Star Beast civilization, they still have to rely on thermal weapons.

Of course, it also needs to cooperate with the Awakened in order to get the most out of the thermal weapon.

After discovering the unnatural gathering of the Ocean Star Beasts, the East China Sea Theater began to recruit the Awakened and formed a reserve corps to make use of the more than four million combat-ready Awakened in the East China Sea.

Worldwide.

In addition to the East China Sea, there are three other coastal cities in the United States that have seen the concentration of marine star beasts, respectively on the east coast of White Eagle and the west coast of Britain.

Therefore, the two joint planetary defense councils should make the Atlantic Ocean a key defense position.

Tokai asked the Planetary Defense Council for help, but received little substantial help.

Four of the six councils on the Planetary Defense Council are from the White Eagle camp.

As a result, the Planetary Defense Council ultimately decided to focus on the Atlantic Ocean, that is, to protect the core interests of the White Eagle Kingdom and Britain.

This situation had been expected by the East China Sea Theater Headquarters, and it was not expected to receive help from the Planetary Defense Council.

Fortunately, the strength of the infrastructure madness is not covered, and the fortifications of the coastal defense artillery in the East China Sea Theater are quite spectacular, like a moat, blocking the threat from the ocean.

In addition, the Awoken troops in other theaters are also ready to support at any time.

……

At a time when tension is at its peak, the Institute of Biology has made new progress in its research.

The biological research team led by Lu Xiuwen has developed a test strip through the study of abnormal genes, which can quickly test whether the human body carries abnormal genes.

The principle of this test strip is that after the expression of abnormal DNA fragments is tested, the abnormal human sweat glands will secrete a trace substance, which is a type of hormone.

The original function of this hormone was to allow star beasts to distinguish their own kind through their sense of smell.

Lu Xiuwen's scientific research team found this trace hormone and developed a test strip.

The East China Sea Theater decisively ordered the mass production of test strips, and began to test all Awakened fighters within the theater of operations.

For the sake of all mankind.

Tokai did not hide the results of this research and donated the technology to other countries to test test strips.

White Eagle, Britain and other countries also began to produce test strips and wanted to test the soldiers of the army.

However, this test was protested by many White Eagle soldiers, believing that it was an invasion of their privacy, and the White Eagle official wanted to conduct a mandatory test, but there was great resistance.

Although the resistance is great, this test is being carried out in countries around the world.

However, none of the countries have published the test results.

Although no country has released the test results, awakened people who have been tested for abnormal genes will still be separated.

Therefore, the number of individuals carrying the abnormal gene can be roughly inferred by the number of people who are separated.

Among them, a comparative study of the situation in the White Eagle Country shows that the number of people carrying abnormal genes is a bit staggering.

This is followed by France and Britain.

The situation in the East China Sea is relatively much better, after all, it is not the largest country, and it is not a group with a very high fertility rate, so it will not be selected by the Star Beast Civilization as a target for gene injection.

……

It was noon that day.

Fang Yuan undergoes a routine physical examination once every two weeks.

"After this physical examination, it will probably start. The attributes are very good, and they have improved a lot during this time, and they are qualified to defend the East China Sea. Yang Yuping took the lead in the test of materials with strong interaction forces.

High-precision star force detection instrument has measured accurate attribute data.

Star Power Level: War Level Lv.8

Attributes: Strength 957, Agility 855, Physique 806, Spirit 817

Super Trait: Unknown trait A20392

Star Groove Characteristics: Super Mimic, Lightning Speed, Advanced Strength Enhancement, Advanced Agility Enhancement, Dark Matter Crystallization

"It's a pity that the star power level is still a little bit away from breaking through, and this crisis will come later." Fang Yuan was no longer satisfied with the level of War-level lv.8.

Yang Yuping smiled and said: "You can't think like that, you have to be clear, your full attribute is more than 800 points, this is an attribute that only war-level lv.10 can have, and in war-level lv.8, you have attribute data comparable to war-level lv.10, you should be satisfied." ”

"By the way, how is the research progress of materials with strong interaction forces?" Fang Yuan asked about scientific research.

"The research progress is very good, but this is the pinnacle technology of stellar civilization after all, and it is still difficult to come up with a mature technical solution in a short period of time." Yang Yuping replied.

This is also a normal situation, a civilization that has not fully reached a planetary civilization, if you want to study the peak technology of a stellar civilization at a higher level, it is not much easier than mining stellar resources.

It is also because of the ability to create materials with strong interaction force that it is possible to leapfrog research, otherwise it is impossible for planetary civilizations to research the pinnacle technology of star civilizations.

As the number of Ocean Star Beasts gathered increased, the atmosphere in the East China Sea became more and more tense.

This time, it's even more terrifying than the Rift Invasion.

Because, on the surface of the open sea, there are already dense sea star beasts, and from the bird's-eye view of the drone, the picture is simply terrifying.

Donghai has entered a state of first-level combat readiness, ready to deal with the upcoming attack of star beasts.

When the time came to the end of September, one night, a huge cannon roared, breaking the silence of the night, announcing the official outbreak of this war between civilizations.

Hundreds of millions of sea star beasts, cleaving the waves, came in the direction of the East China Sea, and pounced on the land from the mouth of the river to the sea.

The shore defense artillery of Mingchong Island was the first to fire, and then on the coastal defense line, the huge array of shore defense artillery began to spew flames.

Shore defense guns of various calibers of 85mm, 122mm, 130mm, and 152mm opened fire at the same time, forming a barrage of steel and blasting into the group of star beasts, setting off a bloody storm.

The roar of cannons and the roar of star beasts tore through the night sky, waking up the entire city and drawing it into the flames of war.
