Chapter Twenty-Three: Sun-Class Battleships

"Units, fire!"

More than a dozen fireworks exploded in the middle of the swarm, blooming one after another flowers of death. The lethal projectiles inside the shells tore the swarms of scorpions to shreds, and in order to prevent excessive casualties, the Sea Shark ordered the scorpions to spread out as much as possible, while mobilizing the ground forces that had not yet formed to attack the electromagnetic railgun position.

"Beam batteries, reinforcements on the ground, the battleship stops in place and doesn't move." Yang Jingzhong's finger stroked the three-dimensional star map, the red dot representing the insect had spread outward more than five times compared to the original, if he had five Haoyue-class cruisers in his hand, he would dare to take the initiative to attack, but unfortunately the strength of the fleet was still too weak, as long as he lost the protection of the beam cannon, Eritan could destroy the entire fleet in minutes.

"Sir, the scorching sun class has half a minute to go into the water."

"Good! Temporarily halt the construction of ground units and go all out to produce warships, and we will fight each other in space! ”

As soon as the words fell, the red dots on the map quickly gathered, looking at the number of insects, Eritan was still ten, but the size of the scorpion colony was much higher than before, and it was estimated that its number was not less than eighty thousand. The number of spiders on the ground has also risen sharply, and it seems that the opponent has mobilized all his troops to prepare to win the battle in one fell swoop.

Yang Jingzhong was very surprised, he didn't expect the number of insects to be so large, but he didn't panic. More than 100 Vulture space fighters were newly produced in the base, and 20 of them were equipped with nuclear bombs.

The troops on the ground were not idle, forty Sky Sword ground attack planes were divided into four waves, each wave of ten launched air strikes against the spiders in batches, and the remaining infantry companies all built defensive positions near the electromagnetic railgun, and the electromagnetic railgun also changed from raising its head to the sky to firing horizontally.

Ten seconds later, the Vulture made contact. The scorpions swarmed up, splitting the group into small areas. The vulture group was undaunted, with the nuclear bomb-loaded aircraft as the core, and four to six fighters as a group, specifically drilling into the scorpion-dense area, seeing the right time to drop the nuclear bomb, and then using the speed advantage to escape.

The nuclear bomb exploded into fireballs in the night sky, and the scorpion located in the center of the explosion was instantly melted into a liquid state by the high temperature, and the farther ones were also burned out with large wounds, and green blood gushed out like a high-pressure water gun, forming a green blood mist in the air.

The Vulture also suffered heavy losses, leaving only a few of them back to where the fleet was located. However, the delay of these fighters was enough time. The Sun-class battleship has officially pulled anchor and set sail!

Twelve trillion megawatt beam cannons shot at Eritan with a giant pillar of light containing terrifying energy, which was even more dazzling than the stars, and the glass on the battleship had to actively deepen the color, otherwise this brightness alone would be enough to burn the eyes of the crew into two hollows.

As the light faded, Eritan's remains appeared in the air, almost every one of them burned a large hole in the middle, and the rest of the flesh was almost completely carbonized. At the end of the two rounds of shelling, all ten Eritans were killed.

Yang Jingzhong thought that after suffering such a heavy loss, the sea shark should retreat, right? But the other side didn't seem to have any intention of giving up at all, and with a large number of scorpions and detonating insects that did not suffer much damage, they made a final charge against the fleet near the beam battery. The fleet's anti-aircraft fire had done its best to stop the invading swarm, but it still destroyed ten Bright Moon-class cruisers, all Meteorite-class warships, and space-based weapon platforms under the explosion of the Shock Bug, which was comparable to positive and antimatter annihilation.

As for the ground forces, the situation is much better than in space, the previous attack on the enemy's ground lair has dealt a fatal blow to the opposing ground forces, and the seemingly ferocious tidal wave attack is actually only carried out by the most basic ground units of the Zerg. It didn't even rush down the electromagnetic railgun position, it was strafed by Yang Jingzhong's Heavenly Sword attack plane, and almost every Heavenly Sword killed more than a hundred.

Next, Yang Jingzhong did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered all the remaining troops to drive to the opponent's lair. Although the fleet suffered heavy losses, as long as the Sun-class battleships were still there, the few Eritans on the other side would not pose a threat.

"Sir, it's better not to take the initiative to attack now, according to my calculations, the opponent's troops are definitely more than that, and the wave of troops just now can only be regarded as a fire reconnaissance force at most."

"Won't it?" Yang Jingzhong glanced at the number of destructions, "I remember that the production capacity of the Zerg is not so high, right?" ”

"The production capacity of the Zerg is more than twice that of a thousand years ago, so..."

"Damn Qiuni, all I got was outdated." Without waiting for Wolf to finish speaking, Yang Jingzhong slammed his fist on the astrolabe, "Tell me, how much should the other party's strength be now?" ”

"A rough estimate is that there are at least twenty or more Eritans."

"Then it's a hammer." Sweeping his gaze over the five dilapidated cruisers outside the window, Yang Jingzhong took a deep breath, and the words of the sea shark sounded in his ears again: "When the main force was still alive, you didn't even hold the idea of fighting to the death, but surrendered as soon as possible." You can't say that the will to fight is also due to the first time you played this game, right? ”

"No, grandma, we've got to keep fighting! As long as my Sun Rank remains, we will still have the strength to fight. Wolf, re-establish the defence, we need to recover as much as possible before the opponent attacks. ”

More than a dozen salvage ships came out of the base, salvaging usable electronic components and armor plates from the wreckage of the fleet, and the corpses of scorpions are also one of the rare materials, and their carapaces can be refined into excellent regenerative armor. Unlike the Fleet's own nano-armor, the Bug's carapace is made up of dense special cells that feed energy into the armor to repair itself, even harder than before. It's a pity that this kind of biological armor is too scarce after refining, and the cells cannot be artificially reproduced by scientific means, so most of the warships in the active Starfleet are still nano armor, and only a small number of elite troops will have battleships built with pure Zerg armor. As far as the tens of thousands of scorpion corpses are concerned, at most, the armor of two Haoyue-class cruisers can be extracted from them.

All production proceeded in an orderly manner until two minutes later, when the wormhole detector emitted a terrible siren.

Wolf didn't speak, only looked at Yang Jingzhong's back with a look of fear.

Resolute words squeezed out word by word between his teeth.

"Since you're here, then, let's fight to the death!"
