Without knowing the specific situation, Zhou Xin immediately ordered: "Atlas, order the nearby units to prepare for the response. After giving this order, he focused his eyes on the screen.

After switching the images of several detectors, Zhou Xin found that unlike the previous petty fights, this time the attackers appeared in all deep-sea directions. All the attackers formed a semi-arc formation, like a fishing net, head-on towards the mining site on the seabed. The number is also far beyond expectations, and it is many times more than the "large number" that Zhou Xin thinks in his heart.

"Why are there so many?!" Just as Zhou Xinli was surprised by the number of attackers who appeared, Dart couldn't help but exclaim, "They can't send everyone on the entire planet there!" Surprised, he hurriedly asked, "Atlas, is there enough defense around the mining site?" Do you need any more support from here? ”

"Even if it is sent now, it will be too late in time." While the little girl answered, the battle on the planet had already begun. Immediately, three of the six detectors provided by the front line were destroyed at once, and the footage captured by the remaining three detectors was also somewhat blurry due to the high-speed evasion. Even if you switch the screen to a different detector, the situation doesn't get any better.

Zhou Xin asked Atlas to switch the screen to the detector that had not yet been affected by the battle, in fact, it was okay not to look at it, and after seeing the clear picture, he realized how bad the situation really was - it was just contact with the attacker, and the detectors on the front line were already retreating.

"What's going on, why doesn't the probe have any ability to resist at all?!" After figuring out the situation in the sea, Zhou Xin subconsciously screamed at the first time. As soon as this sentence came out, he immediately reacted, and the detector really didn't have any attack power. So Zhou Xin immediately changed his tone and asked, "Why are there only detectors?" What about those underwater attack weapons that were created not long ago? ”

"Those underwater attack weapons are arranged in the inner places, and the only thing you see now is the outermost detector used for vigilance patrols, brother captain. They have no attack power, so they are ordered to retreat as soon as they come into contact with them. The little girl replied, and before the words fell, a real-time formation map of the two sides appeared on the screen.

"Will those underwater attackers be able to block the opponent's attack?" Looking at the red dots in the formation diagram that were far less than the encirclement, representing the blue dots of the underwater attacker, Dart asked worriedly.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it." Zhou Nobunaga sighed, and then he comforted himself, "At least we are on the defensive side now, and I hope we can rely on the advantage of the defender to level the numerical disadvantage." After thinking about it, he continued to explain to Atlas, "Atlas, continue to shrink the entire formation inward, and find a way to minimize the contact area between the two sides. ”

"Got it." As soon as the words fell, the bright spots on the screen that represented themselves began to retreat collectively.

At the same time as retreating, Zhou Xin seemed to have made up his mind, and he spoke again: "Atlas, let the engineering robots put away the mining equipment, and let them withdraw to the spacecraft if the situation is not right, we don't need to increase these senseless losses." ”

Just after Zhou Xin arranged everything, the blue point of light in the picture finally met the red point of light that surrounded him. In this way, the first hard-to-head battle between the two sides officially began.

Because of the disparity in numbers, the weak defensive line formed by the underwater attackers did not withstand the onslaught of the opponent at first. In order not to be broken through the formation, they had to take the initiative to retreat some distance. This shock alone lifted the mood of everyone in the command cabin at once, but fortunately, it didn't take long for them to stabilize their formation and keep the attackers out of the defensive line.

However, in the face of an opponent who is far outnumbered by oneself, the price to pay for stabilizing the situation is a huge loss. In less than five minutes after the battle began, nearly a tenth of the number of underwater attackers had been lost, and the entire defensive line, which had just been stabilized, was once again shaky. In desperation, Zhou Xin had no choice but to let them shrink their defense line again, using space in exchange for the opportunity to confront the other party.

"Huh?" Just when Zhou Xin and the others were anxious about the development of the battle situation, Atlas's suspicious voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. Immediately afterward, there was some hesitation in her words: "Brother Captain—they—"

"What's wrong?" The sudden voice startled Zhou Xin, who was focused on the battle situation, and he subconsciously asked loudly, which made everyone's attention focus on the little girl.

"Uh-" Zhou Xin's voice also startled Atlas, she was stunned for a moment and then said vaguely: "This-it's not easy to describe-people can't be sure what's going on, anyway, they think those attackers are a little weird." Or, Brother Captain, let's take a look. As she spoke, the screen was cut to the probes she had chosen.

The little girl's words immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, and they began to carefully observe the few shots that appeared on the screen today. But after a period of observation, even if they were warned in advance, no one in the command module still found anything strange in the picture.

"Is there anything strange?" Another few minutes passed, and Spred finally couldn't help but ask, "I just saw that we couldn't resist the onslaught of the other side." Then he urged, "Atlas, you better hurry up, when is it going to be sold now?" ”

"It's not like people want to sell Guan Zi this time." Hearing Spred's slightly questioning words, even the little girl became a little anxious, "People really think that their behavior is a little different from usual, but they really can't say where they are strange." ”

From Atlas's words, Zhou Xin could indeed hear that she seemed to have made a discovery. And judging from the little girl's usual performance, Zhou Xin doesn't think she will be a person who doesn't prioritize. Therefore, while she answered, Zhou Xin once again set his eyes on the big screen. At this time, under the fierce attack of the opponent, the own side in the picture has been forced to start shrinking the formation for the second time.

"Even if there's anything weird, we'll talk about it later." Seeing the current situation, Spred said anxiously, "It's imperative for us to think about what to do next to resist the other party's offensive......
