Chapter 21: Another Duel
The battle kicked off, Yang Jingzhong still commanded the alliance fleet, and the initial number of warships at the beginning was still three Meteorite-class battleships. But the enemy has been replaced by the Zerg. But at least he had a lot of confidence this time, after all, Qiuni had told him a lot about the Zerg's weaknesses during hibernation.
A Meteorite-class battleship replaced three of its twelve rapid-fire laser cannons with electromagnetic railguns for reconnaissance and harassment missions, while the remaining two remained at the base to defend the base.
Yang Jingzhong clicked on the space-based weapon technology tree and chose one of the weapons that was very close to the ship-based rapid-fire laser cannon to build a line of defense against the Scorpion Sea in the early stage.
Unlike ship-to-ship combat, he could never give up ground defense when fighting the Zerg, but because of the limited remaining funds, he could only build three long-range batteries and two companies of regular infantry, plus an infantry company given at the beginning, and barely built two lines of defense on the ground.
Thanks to its ability to maneuver quickly, the reconnaissance meteorite-class quickly arrived in the sky above the Zerg Battlestar, just in time to hit the scorpion swarm that had just assembled its team and was ready to set off. Under the precise control of the microbrain, the meteorite class has always maintained the best attack distance, which has bought a lot of time for Yang Jingzhong's subsequent development.
The Sea Shark also seemed to have noticed that his scorpion pack was at a disadvantage, but he simply withdrew his team, and it would be very unwise to rashly attack the Meteorite-class destroyer, which is known for its mobility, before the Scorpion Swarm's speed technology has improved. As for the land side, the sea sharks are less conservative, with 10,000 spider-like creatures attacking humans directly.
There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary. What's more, this is a 10,000 hairy spider with a height of two meters and a length of five meters! The sea of insects all over the mountains and fields is not to mention those who are not determined, even Yang Jingzhong, who is mentally prepared, is numb when he sees it.
Three long-range beam turrets carved furrows in the ground, and wherever they were hit by the beams, they immediately set on fire, and the spiders were no exception, and the spiders' long hair made it difficult to extinguish the fire, and it was basically a little flame to make the whole spider burn. But the terrible thing is that these spiders covered in fire still rushed to the human defense line without fear of death, knocking Yang Jingzhong's first line of defense into pieces like a fireball.
"Wolf, build five Skysword-type ground attack aircraft, and we're going to kick them in the ass before the Bug Air Force arrives."
In order to facilitate the command, Yang Jingzhong shifted the command perspective to the ground. Although the Scorpion Swarm in space was already capable of outpacing the Meteorite-class destroyers and attacking his space base, he was confident that his space-based weapons and the five destroyers he had assembled would be able to withstand this level of attack.
Before the construction of the Heavenly Sword Style was completed, Yang Jingzhong needed to withstand this wave of fierce attacks from the spiders. One of the surviving companies was allowed to retreat to the second line of defense, before leaving, all the grenades were left in the first line of defense, the fire on the spider's body detonated these grenades, and for a while the explosions were endless, the shock wave formed by the explosion blew out the fire on the spider, and the lethal fragments mixed with the shock wave cut off the limbs of thousands of spiders, and the huge pit left on the ground also became an obstacle for the spiders to advance, the spider in front accidentally fell into the pit, and the one behind continued to rush forward as if they didn't see it, Until the corpses of spiders fill the entire crater.
With a few sharp whistling sounds, the tail flames left by the Sky Sword attack aircraft pierced the sky, and the six twenty-millimeter cannons loaded under the wings spat out fierce tongues of fire, and the armor-piercing shells tore through the spiders' bodies, leaving bloody holes in their huge bodies. (This 20mm cannon is the only type of projectile that Yang Jingzhong saw in the 32nd century, but the power it shows is really jaw-dropping, and the shell of the spider cannot withstand the penetration of these shells.)
"Sir, it's been five minutes since the war began, and I suggest you start climbing up the big weapon technology."
The vast sea of spiders was finally wiped out, and Yang Jingzhong wanted to take this opportunity to recover his strength on the ground, but Wolf obviously did not approve of his approach.
"According to my estimates, the other side has already begun to study Eritan, and without the development of battleship-level weapons, we will not be able to effectively attack Eritan's defenses."
"Okay, let's develop a trillion-megawatt space-based beam turret and a Haoyue-class cruiser first, and put the Scorching Sun class aside for the time being, we can't afford that thing." Yang Jingzhong glanced at the few resources left, and suddenly felt a little headache, he had just spent a lot of resources on land warfare to produce infantry companies, and the result was almost completely a counteract, a wave of defeat, both sides seemed to have lost a lot, but the other party's recovery ability was obviously stronger.
As for the space side, there were not many casualties on both sides, and it seemed that the other side's scorpion swarm was just coming over to make a feint to prevent the fleet from reinforcing the land.
"Wolf, how about this dwarf-class armored car, equipped with a small laser cannon, it feels quite reliable." Because all the logistics matters were handed over to Weibrain, Yang Jingzhong was also happy for a while, so he looked through the configuration of the active army.
"The cost is low, the manpower is short, and the speed is fast, but the firepower and armor are quite weak, and it is only suitable for reconnaissance missions."
"That's okay, you build ten for me to play with, and if you're idle anyway, you'll be idle, you can build ten for me to play with."
Yang Jingzhong shifted his perspective to the heavy factory, and sure enough, as Wolf said, this thing is just an engine with a few steel plates, and it will be finished with a casual welding, and it may not be much harder than a car.
"This thing can really be driven, I always feel like the car body will fall apart if I flip it twice." Yang Jingzhong held the steering wheel, his face was full of disgust, but not to mention, the internal comfort of the things that looked uncomfortable on the outside was quite high, and it seemed that those arms dealers still had a little conscience.
"Boom!"
As soon as he kicked the accelerator, the huge engine noise shook Yang Jingzhong's eardrums, and he didn't know what kind of explosion had happened. The rapidly tumbling tires stir up dust in the sky, like a sandstorm.
"Oh hoo, that's so exciting!" Thanks to the powerful motor and streamlined body, the speed on the computer reached four hundred yards per hour almost instantly, Yang Jingzhong only felt that the surrounding scenery flew backwards like bullets, and hurriedly grabbed the steering wheel, for fear that if he was not careful, he would lose control and drift out, "Wolf, I remember that the fastest unit in the Zerg atmosphere is the Light and Shadow Butterfly, which can easily break through the sound barrier, I don't know if our car can escape under it." ”
Wolf did not answer.
"Hey, you're dead? I'm asking you! ”
"I wonder if the chief has a driver's license?"
"No, what's wrong?" Yang Jingzhong flew down from a big rock, and the whole car jumped on the ground three times in a row, and he didn't pay attention to the problem of microbrain.
But in the next second, the armored car braked suddenly, and the wheels suddenly emitted billowing smoke, dragging a black trajectory of hundreds of meters on the ground. Yang Jingzhong hit his head on the steering wheel under the huge inertia, and although the airbag was deployed in time, he still hit a nose bleed.
"Holy! What the heck? Wolf, check to see if the engine has broken down. ”
"I'm sorry, sir, but you're suspected of driving without a license, so I'll take your right to use it and I'll do it for you."
