"Mechanical parts?"

"Yes, our drone has found that they are covering their joints with homogeneous steel plates, which are only covered with soft armor, and that is, implanting engines in their muscle tissue."

"Damn, what kind of style is this? Steampunk? It's not like it, creatures and machines...... Biomechanism? ”

..........................

The swarm has never been a reckless and unintelligent species, and if any species loses the ability to evolve, it will sooner or later be abandoned by the environment around it. Human beings use the technology in the human system to come out of the novice village of the earth to open up a new world before exhausting the earth's resources, so as to avoid the crisis formed by the entire human race in one basket.

The swarm, on the other hand, relies on the genes that can evolve step by step, reinventing itself step by step, and strengthening itself by learning the strengths of other races. And their learning method is also quite crude, that is, to directly decompose the advantages of other ethnic groups into analyzable biomass for selective genetic recombination.

Until they met humans. The insect swarm found that the human civilization is based on its external strong material foundation, rather than its own spiritual power or strong biological constitution, intuitively it is a powerful weapon such as warships, cannons, and missiles.

During the conversation with General Mad Dog, Ji Tianping learned that the Backwater Base is not only a military base, but also the most secret scientific research base in the Nantianxing District, with a large number of data files, human genetic codes, animal and plant embryonic seeds, and almost complete industrial system drawings all stored in this base.

If the swarm is now hungry for this knowledge......

"So, these bugs, attacking us while integrating our knowledge and civilization into their own system?"

Ji Tianping couldn't imagine what it would be like to face a swarm of insects composed of a group of biological machines in the future, a floating insect hive that merged with the battleship? A screaming mantis fused with the Panda fighter? Or a reptile with a battle rifle? It would be a nightmare for humanity.

"So, Mad Dog General, I'm very sorry that your short break is coming to an end, we must put an end to the behavior of the swarm as soon as possible, as long as the hive continues to learn our knowledge, then the chances of humanity perishing in the catastrophe of the swarm invasion are one point greater, we need your subordinates to lead the way, and cooperate with us to fight."

"It's an honor, Commander!"

............................

The Marines had only finished cleaning the battlefield in the morning, and they were ready to set off for a new battlefield in the afternoon.

Along the way, Ji Tianping was also imagining what the swarm of insects could make the biomechanical body look like. The swarm can put itself on a machine, so if you put it on a human, maybe the same can be, like the prosthetic man in Battle Angel: Alita. So Ji Tianping still has another thought.

That is to incorporate the evolution of the swarm into the Marine Corps system.

Thinking of this, Ji Tianping couldn't help but call up the system in his mind and ask: "Comrade System, I remember that when you attacked the insect hive before, didn't you absorb a batch of biomass?" What's the catch? I mean, can you help me unlock some classes or technologies or something? “

System: "Actually, there is still a gain, the hive you defeated before has a very good talent in communication suppression, signal shielding and interference, which allows the system to improve the electronic countermeasures technology of the system's output troops, well, use special biological signals to interfere with the enemy's electronic instruments, otherwise do you think that the goods left behind by the watch base can really completely win the electronic war?" ”

"That means that every time I destroy a hive with special abilities, the system can give me a part of the reward feedback, OK, get it, the hives on Ross 128b will belong to our marines."

System: "Commander, I am convinced of this. ”

When Ji Tianping put on his mask and was about to board the ship with the Marines, a Panda fighter plane slowly came out of the hangar and walked on the runway to pass by the medical transport plane. Ji Tianping's headset heard the voice of the marine:

"Commander, you told us not to use coercive means, but this little girl was very stubborn, and she rushed out of our interception and boarded the Panda fighter."

Ji Tianping hurriedly called Su Lin's communication channel, and it was connected instantly, and before Ji Tianping could speak, Su Lin preemptively said: "Although I am still angry about your attack on the copper furnace base, I guess I won't forgive." But...... Attack the swarm, count me in. ”

"I remember, you said before that there is only one Panda fighter left in the copper furnace base, why ...... now?"

Su Lin: "Only I am piloting the fighter, it is a panda fighter, otherwise it is just a pile of scrap metal." The only thing left in the copper furnace base is not the Panda fighter, but only me, the pilot, and the others...... Most died in that purge. ”

"Alright then, pilot Su Lin, the Marines have given you permission to attack and continue to accompany the transport plane. The whole army set out and advanced towards the backwater base. ”

..........................

In addition to leaving a minimum of manpower to keep the new refugees safe, the armies of the Backwater Base and the Watch Base will go all out towards the Backwater Base, accompanied by the Panda Fighters, which must not be too far away from the ground forces - consisting of Pioneer Combat Vehicles and Dongfeng Half-Track Armoured Vehicles.

This offensive is a new challenge for the Marine Corps, and the mixed team will fight from across thousands of mountains and rivers in areas without base radar warning. And the battlefield has also changed, jumping from the scorching Gobi to the vast Black Forest to fight.

As a general, Mad Dog General James has the privilege of riding with Ji Tianping in the medical transport plane. The road is far away, and everyone refugee does not chat to relieve boredom.

What everyone is most concerned about is the big battle between the main force of the swarm and the Earth Coalition Army, which will be a super lineup of thousands of battleships, tens of thousands of search destroyers, hundreds of thousands of fighters and hundreds of millions of combined soldiers, as well as the fire support of the Star Fortress and the Fortress Railgun. It is even rumored that the Combine has chiseled the entire Mars through the middle section to create a planetary cannon.

Before encountering the swarm, the forces of the Earth United Force were invincible in the known universe.

"The situation is not very optimistic," it was the mad dog general who spoke, "In the radio received yesterday, the host introduced that the combined forces annihilated 100 million insect swarms in the Ares defense line, and triumphantly transferred to the solar system for the final decisive battle. Ha, in this familiar tone, the Combine must have suffered a big defeat in the Ares Line, otherwise how could they put the battlefield in the solar system, the core region of mankind, for a decisive battle. “
