The first battle in the northern bay was successful, and the second phase of the campaign is developing on a larger scale.

After the Gulf region had stubbornly curbed the departure of the Golden Beetle conservative fleet, the military department of the Ranlun began to use the defense line formed by the six beached fortresses on the sea as a safe zone. The construction of the track is carried out on the seabed.

These tracks are much smaller than the previous Superfortress bases, with a width of only twenty meters and a cement trough line of thirty centimeters deep. It is to rely on the steel drum to slide.

[The effect of steel wheel sliding is better than that of solid metal balls, but the bearing capacity is a little weaker. The steel wheel is generally on the rail, in the cement groove, which is very easy to grind out of the cracks. 】

Fourteen hours after the initial battle at Kiming Bay, the Burning Wheel tried to expand the tower defense flow.

Sixty 'blocks' of special gunboats with a tonnage of only 34,000 tons hurried over from the western coastline. After arriving on the battlefield, the cement armor plates were thickened, making them weigh up to 100,000 tons. Maneuvering with the help of steel wheels on the seabed.

These fortress guns were built in a triple configuration, with barrels of 210 mm caliber and 58 times the body diameter.

The trapezoidal cement turret, which is divided into multiple levels, draws lessons from previous blows by electric mosquitoes and scythes, and enlarges the setting of close defense turrets around it. And a batch of missile anti-aircraft ships was matched for these expensive fortress guns.

On the surface of the sea, these heavy guns, which rely on concrete tracks, are driven by electric motors to lift the barrels.

As the high-altitude observation aircraft in the distance sent the information of the school firing, the main artillery clusters opened fire. The sharp man, which pierced through the heavens and the earth, burst out from the muzzle of the cannon, and the cannonball pushed by the tip of the fire rushed directly into the clouds.

Sixty fortress guns, 240 Parisian barrels, an average of forty minutes a round, a dozen rounds a day, that is, 2,400 shells. The intensity of the swarm strike in this Gulf area is basically the destruction of ten tactical nuclear bombs a day.

The Gyeonggi region, which has been prosperous for decades, can finally hear the arrogant sound of destruction.

……

Although the cost of the barrel inside the fuel wheel has not decreased, and the cost of missiles has decreased, it is different from peacetime under the wartime economic algorithm.

In wartime, we should not look at money, but at "whether we can buy products," and after we can buy products, we must also look at "whether we can expand production and increase production."

The price of military supplies in wartime is the lowest labor cost. Didn't make the rarity expensive.

The Burning Turbine is now expanding, and it is able to continuously replicate the steam industrial area, so the production of cannon barrels is very large.

Although in terms of resource consumption, the barrel has no advantage over missiles with the same cost performance, but the output of missiles with high cost performance has not been able to increase due to the lack of workers.

Missiles can only be produced in the power industrial zone, but the power industry must have at least six years of compulsory education, and the production of fuel turbines cannot be expanded now. - Now the monetary stimulus has reached the upper limit.

If the peace model is adopted, we do not pursue output, but pursue high quality and low price, and low-level overcapacity, in order to stimulate advanced productivity. As soon as the labor cost of the power economic zone increases, it is definitely not the current price. The added value of missiles will be hundreds of times higher than that of long-range artillery. - It's just that in wartime, only the production of giant cannons and shells can skyrocket in a short period of time under economic stimulus, so the price of shells and barrels has been stable.

[In the 21st century, F22, Weilong, that series of fifth-generation aircraft looks expensive, but compared with the price of weapons and equipment on the eve of World War II and the finances of the industrial countries at that time, it is actually not expensive. After the Third World War, the electronic control segment, which occupies the most expensive part of the price of weapons in peacetime, will fall in price as a large number of personnel switch to production. 】

It is very wealthy to buy cannon barrels now, because the money that flows into the steam area is the money that should be allocated to these old areas for the upgrading of these old areas in the future.

Once the war is over, the biggest gains will be in the power area, and all steam industrial areas will be harvested by high-tech scissors.

For a long time in the future, the price of an electronic watch will be sold for the price of 40 metal wrenches, and the price of a BB machine that can send text messages with a black and white screen can be exchanged for a pig.

The plundering of the steam area by the power district is inevitable unless the steam district can invest the money it earns now in education and infrastructure. And not nostalgic for the memory of the "glorious" industry.

The shelling of the present is the glory of the present. The dawn of the missile age has appeared.

……

The perspective comes, the moon-like, shore-like area of Kimyeong Bay.

It's like a prehistoric insect world—a world magnified countless times over—a swarm of insects that has been subjected to a meteorite-like catastrophe, exploding shrapnel flashing mercilessly on the ground, and then a gray cloud of smoke cracking open. There is no violent flash of cloudburst shells, but a large number of fragments burst with a sense of speed.

The blow of more than 200 shells at one time, an area with a diameter of about 1,000 to 2,000 meters, the surface swarm was covered and harvested. Large areas of concrete bunkers were blown up, as if they had been dropped on the last day.

In the firelight, high-speed metal shards were indestructible, and the arthropods of the swarm broke off when they were grazed by the shards.

Number 29.

The newly arranged long-range artillery on the coastline completes the perfect battle. Compared to the Dora cannon on Earth, it's just perfect.

The southern camp of the Absolute Firefly lost 27 material warehouses and 745 hundred-ton war behemoths in the shelling. The large and small medium Gu worm units reached tens of thousands.

The underwater engineering vehicles, for each artillery city, changed their barrels six times, and 3,600 warheads, smashed into the camp on the north coastline.

If missiles cut the nerves of the corps, then such artillery is the entity that completely destroys the corps.

……

And on the 30th, the shelling of the Golden Beetle Bay continued.

The main battle factions in the North Sea began to gather a large number of scythes from the sea to try to surprise the artillery city. These electro-mosquitoes are new species that have been lengthened and enlarged, extending their range.

In general, two pairs of longer fixed wings were added to the structure, which were abandoned before the war, and in this air battle, the sea drone group of the burning ship was intercepted in advance under the guidance of radar.

The two sides conducted a number of air battles over the bay.

The Zagu model that was put into the air force is a biplane made of steel wire and shells (there are no trees on the planet, and the materials in the hands of the carpenters are the chitin shells of giant creatures)! An eighty-horsepower engine that must rely on the lift provided by the wings to take off. As with the price of the shells above, this thing is cheap, and the steam zone can be mass-produced.

This kind of capture is a contest between electromagnetic guns and machine guns. The ultra-long-range range of the electro-shot mosquito proved useful for ground attacks.

However, in the catch-and-shoot fight, the electric mosquitoes were frequently bitten by the tail due to the defects of low rate of fire and lack of maneuver, and often the electromagnetic cannon had just taken down a few biplanes, and then a large number of biplane fighters swooped down and opened fire with machine guns. The ratio of fights was maintained at 3.23:1. - Both sides are Gu worm flight controllers, and there is no pilot cost.

Every time an electroshooter mosquito falls to the surface of the sea, a large amount of white smoke comes out. Light metals and seawater, with a salt content of only 2 thousandths, explode instantaneously when it comes into contact. And every plane hit by an electromagnetic cannon also turned into brilliant fragments on the sea.

Compared to the battle at high altitudes, the battle at low altitude is more intense on the sea.

Hydrofoils with a compact structure and tonnage of 300 tons sailed through the waves, holding cannons to intercept electric mosquitoes.

These sea scorpions move at a speed of forty knots, which is comparable to flight. The waves collided with the bottom of the boat and shattered directly, making the hydrofoil feel like it was lubricated.

These flotillas are barely maintaining, and the "8" is in a double circle. While the two circles are spinning, the swarm can't rush in where the '8' double circle links (once inside, it will be smashed by cross-fire like a grinder), and the ship that turns here can relax a little, reduce the rate of fire, and cool the barrel. Turning to the outer ring, facing the danger of being hit by the flying sickle, the firepower is full swing and the flying sickle fights.

Ships damaged by the Scythe can slow down and retreat into the circle, keeping the ship slow. However, in the second circle of rotation with the same angular velocity, the layers of barrages on the sea surface constitute one interception net after another, and in the sea water, the dolphins "Linlong's mechanical fusion creatures" are swimming under the fleet with oxygen tubes, and once the people on the hull fall into the water, they are quickly brought to the bottom of the sea water and swim to the rear to prevent being killed by the flying sickle.

A large swarm of scythes is swapping with this mobile fleet. Three days later, the aristocratic officers on the shore finally decided that this was a waste of time on a secondary target, and began to try to bypass the "sea scorpion" swarm.

……

33 (the number of rotations during the orbit of the rock crystal star planet, not only 365).

Far to the south, Ju Hotaru's stern orders to Ki Ming Bay seemed to have had an effect, and all the military lords on the shore continued to shoot up their own insect swarms in batches within 24 hours a day on this day, attacking in waves.

As for why not attack together? The three monks have no water to eat, and if they attack together, 90% of the troops will get lost at sea and go around in a circle, and the lords of each department will blame each other. So Jue Hotaru's order is to plan the time, and every batch has to be taken.

Of course, this kind of continuous offensive has made some progress.

In the gap between the change of guard between the Burning Steamer ship and the Air Force, the swarm finally approached the fortress of the Burning Ship at 10:23 a.m., 13:23 p.m., 17:34 p.m., and 19:23 p.m., but none of them succeeded in taking it.

In this attack, the wings of the scythe were much larger than the previous one, apparently to better adapt to the currents at sea. The self-transforming nature of the swarm should not be underestimated.

At 13 o'clock in the afternoon, the flying sickle took advantage of the gap in the depression angle of the sea radar and the reflection of the sea surface to break into the position of Fortress No. 5, and the situation was the most critical at that time.

It fires self-destruct batons and Vulcan cannons. The sandbags that were temporarily covered in the fortress turret were in tatters with a dense load of explosives. When the fresh seabed sand is in the passive energy point, it disperses not only sand and dust, but also water mist.

However, the kinetic energy was not enough to pierce the armor, and the attack of the flying sickle fell short, only a very small part of the warhead penetrated the sandbags, and even if it did, only pieces of broken cement jumped out on the fortress of the cement plate, revealing the steel network. The pure steel body behind the cement slab is still not damaged.

The counterattack of the 85-mm anti-aircraft guns on the Burning Wheel Fortress was very efficient, sweeping a large area.

According to the electromagnetic structure of the whole body of the northern anatomy of the scythe, the company focused on tackling the proximity fuse in the past two months. A small electromagnetic induction structure is stuffed into the shell, and the magnetic field of the electric mosquito blooms directly during the flight.

In the clouds of explosions suspended in the sky, the insect swarm once again drank on the surface of the sea, and a large number of insect corpses were pushed to various parts of the bay by the sea.

In the evening of the same day.

On the side of the burning wheel, from Xia Hong Island, and the third batch of military support from the south shore area also arrived. More sea scorpions and dreadnoughts gathered outside Kiming Bay.

The "light" sea fortress that arrived later also slowly moved forward, and began the mode of 'what you want to blow up', destroying it when the bay swarm gathers.

Batches of hosts were blown into honeycombs, and over the next four days, the Gulf's hosts were bombed and forced out of the optically stealthy mutation.

Of course, it's not a thing, the burning wheel directly bombs those huge logistics worms.

The main battle party fortress on the side of the swarm did not give up, and it seemed that it was difficult to ride a tiger, and it also began to mobilize more Gu worms and began to attack brainlessly. In this way, Ju Hotaru was not at home, and the legions she left in the Beihai region were waved into pieces by the nobles of the main battle faction.

This kind of wave after wave, similar to the battle of Plants vs. Zombies, both sides are used to it.

Well, the burning wheel is used to it, because strategic bombing and sea and air interception networks can continuously bleed the swarm, as for why the swarm is used to it? - It seems that they are accustomed to the possibility of 'fighting hard and successfully resisting the landing battle of the burning ship'.

So much so that it makes Zhou You wonder if the guys on the other side of the sea are the black fans of the absolute fireflies, the fifth column sent by himself?!

February 1, 111.

The northern coastline of the Mediterranean. The guys under Jue Ying's subordinates who were not successful enough and had more than enough defeat fought a bad battle for twenty-eight days.

There are 60 long-range turrets on the burning wheel, and the barrels are all scrapped by an average of seven rounds. The Burning Wheel Staff had not considered landing in the Gulf area before, and now that the opposite side is so wasted, it seems that landing can also be done. - A large number of war turtle landing ships have been assembled near the bay.

The swarm lords of the Gulf region have been unable to hide the large amount of war materials they have intercepted in order to defend against them.

Jue Hotaru, who was attacking southward, looked at the battle damage report sent by his hometown with a grim face.

When any general is fighting, he wants to say something like "don't show me the battle damage, I only need XX" and so on.

When Jue Ying just started to get the report of the attack hosted by the hawks on the northern coastline, he didn't look at the battle damage, but now, good guy, in just twenty-nine days, 254,000 units of the Gu Worm Corps were destroyed.

Seeing the black-and-white photos of the Gu Worm Corps that had been blown to pieces by shells, Jue Ying wanted to know, how did those unconscious officers fight, did they pull the troops out and block the muzzles?

One kilometer in diameter in the underground worm nest base.

Jue Hotaru lay in this slimy hatch, and after docking with the Gu worm base, his nerves connected with the swarm consciousness. The current situation in the northern bay was passed on to the other side.

The consciousness of the swarm seems to have been silenced by the situation of human infighting on the Empire's side.

It is said that this is comparable to the swarm technology of the planetary landing, and it was damaged by the giant cannon swarm of the steam era with nearly a dozen nuclear strikes in a day, which is a little embarrassing.

Reality has proved that the human factory assembly line is more effective than Gu worms laying cubs under someone's reasonable use.

Jue Hotaru: "I want more biomass change." ”

The Swarm Consciousness opens up the promotion of more tech trees from the perspective of the Absolute Firefly.

In the north, the nests of towers that produce electro-shot mosquitoes and scythes are injected with more resources, starting to grow from the original 50 meters to 140 meters, and the top disc will expand dozens of times.

The Streptomosquito is a junior class that will be followed by higher classes, including the 50-ton Wyvern and the 640-ton Light Stealth Atmospheric Devourer.

However, more energy is needed to produce advanced troops, and the roots of the current tower nest of the electro-shot mosquito only need to extend to an area of 3,000 meters underground to collect geothermal energy. This kind of super tower nest needs to be drilled 14 kilometers underground. In the process of drilling, it is necessary to continuously invest various resources.

Among them is uranium, which, of course, is called the magic salt in this world. As for other auxiliary minerals, zirconium, nickel, tungsten and other resources are countless.

Swarm Consciousness: "Are you really sure about scaling technology?" ”

Hotaru: "Sure." ”

Swarm Awareness: "You unlock a higher level of Swarm technology, and your body needs to be strengthened with informatization (refinement) and implanted with higher information particles." Please note that your memories will not be lost during this implantation process, but your sense of self may be disrupted. ”

After being silent for a few seconds, Jue Ying said slowly, "My consciousness has already been shocked. ”

The swarm said, "Yes. ”

The impact of consciousness is to make the past self-sensibility disappear, the first life of the Golden Beetle Emperor only suffered one consciousness shock, and His Majesty the Emperor was no longer willing to bear it after finding that he had lost most of his feelings for the love he once loved.

As for the absolute firefly, she endured it twice, the first time was when the emperor fused the swarm consciousness with her in order to protect her life when she was a child. But at that time, she didn't know what she loved, so she never felt that there was anything to cherish.

Therefore, when transforming the Northern Gu Worm Base, Jue Ying did not hesitate to carry out the second Worm Swarm Consciousness Fusion, which is why her base was one level stronger than her younger brothers in general. Now it's about to be the third time.

The hatching nest controlled by the consciousness of the insect swarm used a large number of needles and tubes to accurately pierce the body of the firefly, and then the flesh lines poured into the temples, the spinal cord at the back of the neck, the perineum, and the limbs from the tube.

Hotaru relied on her 'strong' will to endure the pain of each thrust.

In the fleshy pipes, glowing, high-energy nanoparticles begin to be injected. Compared with fixing the body with nanorobots to make precise adjustments to the body, this is a passive body modification.

When the pipes were pulled out one by one, in the incubation pool, Ju Hotaru couldn't help but hug herself, gasping and asking, "Need ...... How much is needed, days. "She has a large number of punctured blood holes left on her body, which are now slowly healing.

Swarm awareness: "It takes 45 days to debug the cocoon, it is recommended to ......"

Jue Hotaru immediately denied: "No, cocoon, I don't have time." ”
