The command room fell silent again, and everyone looked at Mu Chen silently.

Everyone knows what it means to lose a long-range exploration radar and an interplanetary signal transmitter.

This shows that the Grim Reaper space carrier no longer has the navigation function to return home, and it is unable to contact the earth.

"What are you looking at me for?" Mu Chen smiled and asked, "Isn't it that the fleet has become blind?" What's the big deal. ”

"Your Excellency, can you still laugh at this time?" The navigator asked solemnly.

"Could it be that I'm still crying for you?" Mu Chen said angrily, "This is already the case, and you also know that only the flagship Reaper of the Reaper fleet has an ultra-long-range positioning function, and it seems that we are in trouble now." ”

"Can you get other warships to locate the coordinates?"

"I'm afraid not, our current position is outside the range of human space exploration, there is no signal positioning tower nearby, and the warships of the Giant Whale cannot search for the nearest coordinate signal." Mu Chen shook his head and said.

"Now is not the time to think about these things, let's complete the task first, and as for the return home, it is better to leave it to fate."

Mu Chen smiled mysteriously and squeezed his eyes at the navigator: "Don't be so nervous, trust my luck, it's not a big deal." ”

The commander said so, and these crew members naturally couldn't say anything, besides, the task in front of them was not over, and the battle with the Zerg was still undecided, and now was indeed not the time to worry about returning home.

……

The Reaper ship was burned red by incendiary bombs, and although it lost its navigation function, it was not without benefits.

The swarm of moths rushed over like a fire, but they still couldn't pass through the sea of fire, and the few giant locusts that could fall on the deck instantly turned into teppanyaki, sprinkled with cumin and green onions, maybe it was a good delicacy.

"Lord Death, good news, our weather weapons have worked, the Zerg planetary base has been completely frozen, and the images from the reconnaissance satellite show that there are no signs of life on the surface." The intelligence officer said excitedly.

"Made, it's not in vain!" Hearing this rare good news, Mu Chen was finally able to breathe a little sigh of relief in his heart.

"Flight units and drone swarms continue to clear those giant locusts, and the USS Intrepid space carrier fires a few ground-penetrating missiles to see what looks like under the ice."

Soon seven ground-penetrating missiles were launched from the Intrepid, and after hitting the ice-enclosed planet, the drill bits on the head of the missiles spun at high speed and explored underground.

Debris mixed with blood-red ice and insect carcasses flew everywhere, and soon the ground-penetrating missile was 500 meters underground.

"Report, there are results of exploration."

"Say!" Mu Chen sat in the position of the operation cabin, stretched out his hand and rubbed his sore temples, cheering up.

"The freezing light completely froze the entire planet, and the thickness of the ice reached about 1,500 meters underground, but there were still signs of life at the core of the planet, and the life detection device showed the situation inside......" The intelligence officer didn't know how to describe it, and hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak.

"Project the image."

Soon the image sent by the detection device was displayed in front of Mu Chen, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Now they understand why this Zerg planetary base can achieve interstellar flight

Okay, it turns out that there is a huge life form at the core of this asteroid, and it can be said that the entire asteroid is a living giant zerg.

The core of this asteroid is hollow, and the space is extremely huge, but the giant zerg has almost occupied all of it, and it is still producing strange eggs one after another.

And the crater-like thruster that Mu Chen destroyed before is connected to the body of this giant zerg.

Mu Chen: What they destroyed was only the outermost part of the thruster, and in fact, they didn't have any impression of the giant Zerg inside.

"This should be the mother worm of the Zerg." Mu Chen said solemnly.

"Will our weather weapons work against it?"

The weapons officer shook his head: "It just froze the range of 1,500 meters, and it didn't cause substantial damage to this female worm." ”

This is not good news, once the ice is lifted, the asteroid will be "alive" again, and unless the mother worm inside is eliminated, it will not be considered a complete mission at all.

"Have you made the cluster bomb I prepared for you? Can the power destroy this thing? Mu Chen asked out loud.

The weapons officer made a quick calculation, nodded and said: "There is no problem, as long as you can enter the core position, you can completely destroy this asteroid, and it is naturally impossible for that mother worm to survive, just ......"

Mu Chen hated his subordinates selling to him the most, and said coldly: "If there is any problem, just say it, it's awkward!" ”

"Yes!" The weapons officer hurriedly said seriously: "It's just that if you want to enter the core position of this asteroid, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

"The only viable route is to enter from that crater-like place and follow this passage, but the further we go, the narrower the passage becomes, and our all-terrain vehicles can't pass through it."

Mu Chen nodded solemnly, indicating that he knew.

This asteroid is more than 2,000 kilometers in diameter, and even if there is a passage to the core, it will need to travel about 1,000 kilometers to reach it, not to mention that it must be dangerous to reach that place, which is almost from the chrysanthemum of the mother worm, and then to reach the head of the mother worm, install a timed cluster bomb, and escape before exploding.

It can be said that the whole process is in the body of the female worm, and how to deal with the corrosive mucus in the female worm's body is a big problem, not to mention the eggs that are about to hatch.

"Your Excellency, the previous incendiary bombs seem to have a good effect on that corrosive slime, and we can use the flamethrower to open the way and burn all the way through." The operational staff officer proposed.

Immediately there was an objection: "No, this is not an appropriate method, the heat will also affect our fighters, and it will require countless jet fuel, you must know that the road is 1,000 kilometers long." And there is a large amount of combustible gas sprayed outward, and once it encounters an open flame, I am afraid that it will be our fighters who will bear the brunt of it......"

"It's better to reopen a passage from another location with a burrowing bomb, which will both dodge the corrosive slime and minimize the danger."

"But it will take a long time, and it will take at least a month to open a 1,000-kilometer passage with a ground-penetrating bomb, and by then the ice will have long been lifted."

“……”

All proposals were rejected, and for a while no one was able to come up with a workable battle plan.

Mu Chen listened to it for a long time, but he didn't get a suitable solution, so he simply asked:

"How big is that crater passage at its narrowest point?"

The intelligence officer immediately calculated based on the images from the life detector and reported: "The height is less than two meters, and the width is only one meter......"

"Hmm, that is, it can barely accommodate one person?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Mu Chen thought about it and had a plan in his heart.

"That's good, let's have the fighter carry the liquid jetpack on his back and fly directly into it from there, although this passage can't accommodate large combat units, but the individual jet pack is not a problem."

"Suspended in the air, it can also effectively avoid the corrosive slime on the ground......"

Mu Chen's bold plan caught everyone's eyes, but soon some people raised questions.

"Your Excellency, although this method is feasible, the level of danger is too high, if the soldiers use jet packs, they will not be able to equip heavy armored mechanical exoskeletons, and their combat effectiveness is seriously insufficient, and it is difficult to deal with possible swarm troops."

"Yes, and although our fighters have been rigorously trained, it is too difficult to operate a jetpack from a place not much bigger than a dog hole in that environment, and I am afraid that few people can do it."

Mu Chen didn't make a sound, just reached out and picked up a picture from the console, which was a family photo that his sister had recently drawn, showing Mu Chen's family, as well as Laura, Alice and Wolf Girl......

It's rare that Mu Yue didn't scandalize her brother into a demon king with a sharp mouth and fangs, but Mu Chen in the portrait had a bad smile on his face, and he was not a serious person at first glance.

Mu Chen stared at the painting for a long time, and only after a long time did he re-fix the portrait on the operating table.

"That's it! I'll personally lead the team to complete this task! Mu Chen said firmly.

"No, Captain!" The crew immediately objected: "Lord Death, this mission is almost certain to die, you are the supreme commander of the fleet, if anything happens to you, then our fleet will be completely finished......"

"I firmly disagree with your decision, this is not the time to show your personal heroism, no matter what, it should not be up to you to complete this task, our whole fleet, there is no one who is afraid of death, please let me lead the team to carry it out!" The weapons officer said solemnly.

The wolf girl, the person in charge of ground operations, also pulled Mu Chen's sleeve, slowly shook her head and said:

"Mu Chen, let me try, right? I'm the right size for you......"

Mu Chen naturally knew how difficult this task was, and with his operational ability, he didn't dare to say how sure he was that he would be able to pass through the narrowest position smoothly, and there was no difference between going to others and sending them to death.

You must know that the inside of the female worm's body can be full of corrosive mucus, and the four walls of the passage must not be touched, otherwise it will immediately turn into a pool of blood.

Moreover, that passage is used to generate the propulsion of small interstellar flight, and the interior is filled with a large amount of combustible gas, and even solo flight can only use liquid jet packs that do not produce tail flames, laser weapons and kinetic weapons cannot be used, and can only rely on melee weapons made of metal to fight.

This is no longer nine deaths and one life, it is completely ten deaths and no life......

And this task can only be completed by Mu Chen himself, and no one else has a chance to succeed......
