Chapter 22: Beating the Drums
The sun has always been very abnormal, this time it is rapidly aging into old age, it has become a red giant, it is different from the general red giant, its disgusting appearance is creepy, although its basic color should be red, but it occasionally changes color and shape, its appearance is constantly protruding and twitching, the red giant star is slowly approaching the earth, the earth's orbit is constantly changing, fortunately the earth has a giant ship thruster is also continuing to adjust the position of the earth. On the back of the red giant is a large group of UFOs, all of which seem to be ready and well-armed, and any spaceship that comes close to it will be destroyed without any negotiation.
People on Earth have been doing one thing all along, and that is to run for their lives! People packed their things in a panic, and many people who did not have their own spaceships boarded the government's spaceships, and the scene was very chaotic. Government forces shot several rioters and queuers on the spot, but the effect of such warnings was not obvious.
New Zealand Globe Government Army, whose fleet is gathering near Mercury [New Zealand Globe Government Army hereafter referred to as N.G.A.]. In the past half month, N.G.A. has sent 6 emissaries to the UFO group behind the red giant star to try to communicate with each other, but each time the emissary is hit and explodes, the other party only makes it clear that they want to destroy the earth.
Although the odds of human victory are almost 0, even if only the broken earth is left after the battle is won, they still hold on to the last hope, this once blue planet has now become 4 pieces, and the earth has become four pieces It is a terrorist move made by the Kahn organization in order to retaliate against the government, the earth is like a hard-boiled egg that has been torn open, fortunately, there are 90,000 planetary stabilizers, reducing the magnitude of earthquakes on the earth and simulating geothermal heat to ensure the climate, and the government has also installed giant ship thrusters on the core, At this time, there were a total of 81 such thrusters to control the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Due to the uneven heat emitted by the red giant star to the Earth, the Amazon rainforest burned completely, and the fire was so large that it could be seen from space. The power of the red giant is unstoppable, and if you don't come up with a countermeasure, then the Earth will be completely burned bare, and Mars will be the next victim.
Blake watched a large number of UFOs flying on the side of the red giant, and Blake began to complain secretly: damn it, these enemies can use the power of nature to attack us, because the enemy knows that nature is the ultimate destroyer, and any good will eventually be ruined by it, and any hope will eventually be turned into despair.
Blake turned on the public channel: "It seems that everyone has synchronized their translation machines, what should we use to attack this huge object, tens of millions of temperatures, radiation, electromagnetic storms, huge gravitational pull." ”
Jacquet: "The Congress on Mars is a mess but it's still under control, and as your boss, I know some of you will die, and I really don't want my staff to volunteer to fight this kind of battle." ”
General Maxim, commander-in-chief of the army: "Thanks to the fleets of the various planets for joining, as well as the citizen volunteers for joining, as long as we are united, we still have a chance to win." ”
Chen Xing: "The government army accepts volunteers to participate in the battle, which shows that our odds of victory are very low, and it would be nice if there were more alien allies, but it is a pity that the global government of New Zealand has not done so well in space diplomacy." ”
Jack: "I've got some volunteers, my old friend, Lily from Pink Baby Litchi, and her sisters. ”
Lily: "My sisters and I came voluntarily, and I was with Jack when I signed up. ”
Simon: "With a little more strength and a better chance of winning, I'll lead the way for my robot reinforcements right away!" ”
Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Maxim: "Are all the ships equipped with expensive lead shells?" Or no elemental shell? Remember to lower the shell plate to seal the window, otherwise the driver will be killed by the radiation from the star. ”
"I'll scan my ship to see if there's any light." "Even if everyone else had these anti-radiation equipment, they would still get sick and not be able to filter 100 percent of the radiation," Blake said. ”
Zouka: "We know that the consequences will not be too optimistic, and if we can go back alive, we will go to the doctor immediately, and we must not delay!"
Sassari touched his finger and seemed to be recovering well: "There is almost no data about this giant stellar warship with its own intelligence, because no civilization has survived encountering it, and there are exceptions, of course. ”
Blake asked, puzzled, "This is no longer the sun we know well?" Is it a battleship? ”
Dolefen: "Susari once visited the library of our planet Sugarcane, and there are very few records of this kind of ship in electronic records and literature from a long time ago, except for some fragments of mutated stars in ancient poetry, as written in the "Ballad of the Sower of Abomination": Crimson tumors swallow the moon, and all beings are their mothers, and they do not know that they have become enemy ships, and they have no time to bury their own deaths. ”
General Maxim: "Crimson Tumor refers to the Red Giant, and the enemy's name is the Sower, assuming that we can take out the enemy's fleet, then we can directly face the Red Giant, our weapon system has already been upgraded, everyone hurry up and familiarize yourself with the new equipment, to weaken the sun's various spills and internal energy." ”
Blake: "There are a lot more buttons, the basic weapons have been added, the enemy is in front of you, the war is about to break out, and the time control device of Susari will make our ship and the enemy ship in different time flows, which means that we have less time flow than the enemy, and we have a faster speed than the enemy." ”
Chen Xing: "Even if we can add 10 seconds to each hour, then our chances of winning will be much greater." ”
Jacquet: "Not only do you have to shoot the enemy quickly, but you also have to dodge the attacks of others in advance, these are two different actions that take more time to complete. ”
Jack: "At least we know they're called Sowers, and if you take on multiple enemies in one case, you'll die even worse and get smashed to pieces, and this booster will increase your survival rate." ”
Mercury's hard shell has also begun to burn to pieces, and cracks have begun to spread, and Mercury has already appeared 2,000 kilometers long. All ships hide on the back side of Mercury to prevent the force field from being burned through.
The sun is approaching the Earth, and it is still unknown whether the mixed fleet will be able to save the Earth.
The number of the huge fleet of the Sowers is simply outrageous, the number of warships is staggering, endless, strange shapes, and some other warships of ancient civilizations that they collect everywhere are also among them, these ancient warships seem to have been welded together by some kind of welding, although the Sowers have disappeared for many, many years, but they have become quite skilled in the recycling of the wreckage of various ships, and if they lack anything, they can also use similar parts and modules to splic.
As the N.G.A. army approached the enemy's corps, General Maxim ordered all the ships to begin to line up in an arc.
At this moment, the Red Giant unexpectedly accelerated to the front, directly facing the fleet of New Zealand's global government forces, and the Red Giant flew within the most effective range of the antimatter cannon.
Jack felt uncomfortable: "What does this mean?" Mock us? Despise us? ”
The red giant star immediately turned blue, and it released an energy that spread so widely that everyone just felt something flash, and their hull was touched by something.
Jaccott looked at his dashboard and exclaimed, "Let's check the protective force field." ”
The entire army found that their force fields had become minus 1%, and that some of the instruments and some of the probes on the ship were having problems.
Chen Xing: "How to fight this battle, some of my detectors have failed?" ”
Sussuree: "Before we even start, we don't have the force field to protect?" ”
All the ship's pilots, captains, gunners, missile launchers began to sigh in the open channel, as if they were worse than dead.
Blake also began to sigh non-stop, Blake's spaceship only needs one person to pilot and maintain, he didn't expect that before the battle started, the protective force field of all the troops was gone, and the morale fell to the bottom.
When the goal was achieved, the sun immediately flew back and retreated, and the enemy's vanguard fleet began to charge, and everyone prepared to meet it.
Number of friendly ships: 308000
Blake noticed that a hard-looking spaceship was the first to fly over, it looked like a thick mountain made of quartz, and the New Zealand global government forces attacked him with all their might, but it didn't have much effect, Blake also fired a few shots, almost to no avail, leaving only scratches on the surface of the hard ship. With the New Zealand global government forces staring at this hard spaceship and bombarding, many enemy small ships began to attack, single-mindedly, the small ships killed many New Zealand global government forces, our ships began to change their targets and fought with the small ships, many small ships were destroyed, Blake and Jaccott, and Zuka began to bypass this wave of charges to attack the attackers from the flanks, just when this wave of small ships was about to be destroyed, the hard spaceship cracked, and countless missiles and laser artillery fire inside opened fire togetherIt seemed to lock onto a number of targets at once, and the N.G.A.'s ship was hit again, closing its weak interior again when everyone turned its guns to attack the hard ship. Another wave of enemy small ships has come to raid the N.G.A.'s fleet again.
Zulka saw the heavy losses: "What should we do, let these bastards continue to consume like this, we are very passive." ”
Jacquet: "I'm your boss, and both Zuka and Blake follow me. ”
Blake: "Yes!" Boss-sama! ”
Jacotic's melee ship took the lead, his ship looked like an open Swiss Army knife, more engineering than a melee ship, and Jaccott rotated his ship's large pincers to the front end, and brought the pincers closer to the hard enemy ship. Blake and Zuka escort their bosses. Since the enemy ship is gray and black, it is difficult to find the gap when it is opened, Jaccott switched to the high contrast filter, he looked carefully, he finally found the gap, he accelerated and rushed over and inserted the sharp part of the top of the big pincer into the gap, and slowly opened the big pincer at the same time that the enemy ship was also open.
Blake called Maxim: "Request support. Maxim sent more than 200 N.G.A. fast ships to Blake's location. It turned out that Jacot's large pincers could also be used as a jack, and slowly propped up the upper and lower parts of the enemy ship. After fully opening, Jaccott disconnected the ship from the large pincers, and he stepped back and began to shoot at the middle opening, and 230 ships together began to shoot at the weak interior, although the enemy ships also fired back but to no avail, and soon the enemy ship exploded. Jacquet: "Haha, prying open other people's mouths is my forte. With that, Jacquet flew to the supply ship to reload another device.
Although these waves of attacks were defused, many spaceships lined up behind them to fight with the global government forces.
Number of friendly ships: 304040
A large number of small ships poured in, as if the seeders didn't need any money to build them. Blake found that the wheelhouses of the Sower ships were fully enclosed, perhaps because they both liked to be secluded, or perhaps because they had better guarded themselves. The small ships gathered more and more, and the fight could not be finished, Blake ran the laser away to the small ship near the maximum shot, but the enemies were still swarming, and the temperature of the laser cannon barrel was already difficult to lower, and there were still many enemies, and the number of N.G.A.'s ships began to decrease. At this moment, Zuka's wide-area damage weapon was recharged, and Zuka destroyed 100 enemy ships in one shot. The morale of New Zealand's global government and military has been greatly boosted, and many astronauts have gradually strengthened their performance, and some have used their skills to the fullest due to the slight increase in morale.
Number of friendly ships: 299921
Just as our ship form was dominant, the sun flew over, the red giant turned red again, it seemed to stabilize, it began to approach the global government forces, it shrank a little, and everyone, including Blake, could feel something rubbing against the surface of its ship. In this way, the anti-gravity systems of all the ships did not work, and many of the ships were sucked by the gravitational pull of the red giant and burned to ashes. The sun doesn't need any attacks, it only needs to get close to other ships to kill, and the ship that was dragged over and about to burn out used all the attacks against the sun, but it had little effect.
Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Maxim: "The whole army dispersed in different directions, away from the red giant. ”
No matter how powerful the sun was, it could only fly in one direction, and everyone scattered to avoid leaving their bodies alone.
Number of our ships: 289,550
Simon flew over with a fleet of robots from the "escape" star, and they formed an "R" in a neat formation.
Commander Maxim said with some nervousness: "Are the drivers all robots?" Can we trust you, don't? ”
Simon: "Don't worry, General! Although they are all robots, they are implanted with a part of the dolphin's brain, which perfects emotions and is therefore difficult to adapt by hackers. ”
Commander-in-Chief Maxim: "In this case, we can only choose to believe that the ninth formation, the twelfth formation, sail on my left and right and follow me to support our tin partners." ”
The ninth and twelfth formations were in use with atomic lazy cannons, and they were responsible for firing at the lower half of the sun. Whether there is matter "refrigeration" in the energy beam of these lazy cannons, no matter is not matter or antimatter, it is another category entirely, no matter "refrigeration" can reduce the activity of atoms and electrons, and the less activity then the matter is colder. Simon's troops also installed such cannons. So the robots are also shooting at the lower half of the sun, which is cooling down rapidly, and you can see with the naked eye that the lower half of the stars are much slower. The Sower's fleet flew over and disrupted the N.G.A. formation and shot at any ships attacking the Red Giant. Simon uses a large plasma beam to cut through the enemy. Ironically, Simon was almost beheaded by a plasma-based tech product. The enemy ship that took the lead was cut very carefully by Simon, like a Japanese chef cutting sashimi, the cutting was neat and precise, and Simon could damage the opponent's engine or energy gauge just right every time.
The robot unit and the ninth and twelfth formations sent by Maxim withstood the attack.
Number of friendly ships: 289455+38804
Simon shouted in the comms: "Reassemble into an hourglass shape!" "The ships of the robotic AI unit began to form an hourglass shape.
Simon shouted, "Adjust the shooting angle and shoot the red star." "All the robot ships adjusted the angle of the cannon barrel, centering the fire of the atomic lazy cannon to one point, and the energy was gathered together and the damage was raised by a notch, and the ninth and twelfth formations also fired at the same time, and the more powerful and concentrated damage caused the entire solar activity to slow down and cool down, the diameter of the sun's sphere became smaller and smaller, and the sun was restricted.
Victory was coming, and everyone was overjoyed.
Zuka: "Wow! It's about to be won!"
Sassare: "Solve the star, and there will be enemy ships to deal with in a moment!" ”
Zuka: "Yes, yes! ”
Simon: "The energy is running out, and the whole army is recharging in place." "The robot's ship is running out of energy and has to cease fire, and the surface of their ship begins to change color, absorbing the full amount of solar energy.
Maxim suddenly slammed the ship's console and shouted, "Hurry up and withdraw to safety." ”
Simon: "Roger, evacuate immediately." Simon was so cooperative because Simon took 0.75 seconds to read Maxim's file, and he saw that Maxim was a hero of New Zealand's global unification, and his hunch was super accurate. Everyone was very reluctant, but the fleet had to obey orders, and everyone began to withdraw to the main force.
