Desert Star, less than two hours before Chen Zheng and the little fat man wiped out the Zerg Air Force, a behemoth emerged from the other side of Lin Hai......

"Hum—"

Over the jungle, huge steel beasts flew over the treetops, and the loud noise they emitted startled the birds......

The main engine of the ground effect aircraft is four electric jet engines, and only the electric jet engine has enough thrust to propel this 35-ton behemoth weighing 150 tons into the sky.

From a structural point of view, the four EFI engines are not much different from the Viking fighters, and the main difference is that the energy recovery device behind the tail nozzle is more complex.

The Viking fighter itself has a large dead weight, and the combat requirements are very heavy, and if the energy recovery device is too complex, it will greatly affect its maneuverability.

The giant ground effect transport aircraft is different, it does not have much combat needs in itself, and its own defense requirements are not very high, so without emphasizing the thickness and flexibility of the armor, only emphasizing the large load, the energy recovery device can be designed very complicated.

After a series of energy recovery, the temperature of the tail flame that finally erupted from the tail nozzle was already very low, and there was no such characteristic "lightning" wake of the Viking fighter.

However, even after several processes of energy recovery, the strong air flow from the engine still blows the thick trees back and forth, and it is almost worrying that they will not break in the next second.

In front of the ground effect aircraft, large swaths of forest were burned. Looking down from the sky, there was no trace of green, only a huge black and ugly scar.

This is one of the mines established when the Huangxing base expanded outward, and this is also the last place to be destroyed by the Zerg.

At this time, the cleaning of the ground had been completed, and after a full two hours of burning, the fungus blanket of insects and the ground facilities were all burned to char.

However, this does not mean that all the insects here are dead, there are always some fish that have escaped the net and are hiding in the nearby forest, and in the wormholes mainly formed by the mine tunnels, it is believed that there are still more insects still surviving.

At this time, in addition to the robot sappers, this ground effect aircraft also sent a large number of unmanned tanks and defense robots, which were specially used to clean up the insects in the tunnel.

"Hum—"

As the vents of the four electric jet engines gradually perpendicular to the ground, the huge ground effect aircraft gradually stopped, and then slowly landed on the scorched earth.

"Whew-"

The tail of the ground effect vehicle slowly opened, and a giant tank the size of two buses slowly drove out. Once it had fully emerged from the belly of the ground-effect vehicle, the giant tank slowly unfolded...... Stick the fixed legs in all directions, and raise a high "flagpole" in the middle.

The scientific name of this tank is "mobile energy supply, network core", and Chen Zheng likes to call it "base vehicle".

Like a certain real-time strategy game that swept Internet cafes in the 90s, this "base car" is the foundation of the entire camp in the future.

First of all, it is an energy center – with a very powerful zero-energy furnace that is large enough to supply a small base.

Secondly, all the control and energy supply of engineering and defense robots need to be completed by this "base car" - all robots do not carry any energy on their bodies, and some only have energy receiving antennas.

The "flagpole" raised by the "base car" as if it were a mobile base station can transmit energy to the surrounding robots through wireless power transmission, and the robots will also exchange data with the operators far behind through wireless links after receiving the energy.

There are many limitations of wireless energy supply robots, such as the transmission efficiency is limited, for example, if it is far away from the transmission field, it is easy to have a "power supply interruption", and if it is farther away, the robot will be directly silent because of the loss of energy, and finally it will be recovered in other ways.

Energy is a thing that is always better for each individual to be self-sufficient. The reason why the Desert Star Base chose wireless power transmission is actually so simple that it is a little ridiculous - it is because of the low cost.

Zero-energy furnaces have always been a strategic level of valuables, not only because they are slow to produce, but even what they burn is extremely valuable.

Because of this, it is impossible to equip every robot with a zero-energy furnace, and the cost of that kind is simply unaffordable...... Of course, it is also because Chen Zheng has not found lithium ore in his current territory, and he cannot use the lithium battery technology on the earth for the time being.

As the flagpole of the base vehicle gets taller and higher, the wireless energy supply unit also begins to lay electric fields into the surrounding space...... As the scope of the electric field expanded to the ground effect aircraft, the engineering robots loaded in the aircraft gradually "woke up".

Under the control of the tarot server and supercomputer cluster in the rear, engineering robots less than 30 centimeters tall drilled out of the ground effect aircraft in order, first transported various materials, and then began to level the ground, build fences, install anti-aircraft weapon stations, and lay various pipelines under the control of the program......

Other robots slowly stepped down from the other end of the ground effect aircraft and went into the mine with hundreds of tank-type weapon stations.

Unlike engineering robots and tank robots, each defense robot has a human remote control behind it, while the former has hundreds or even thousands of them combined, and only one or two people are responsible for the deployment task.

……

"Today is a great day, we're going to crush those damn bugs! …… And this is the first mine that our Iron Warriors have recovered...... We will be remembered by history! Brothers! Come on!! ”

A slightly second-class declaration sounded in a small corner of an "Internet café".

"Yes!!"

"Everybody get your weapons ready...... Mountain! Take control of the weapon station and give us support! Two dogs, be careful behind my back and don't let that damn worm steal our butts again......"

"Up!"

“gogogo……”

“……”

A loud noise rang out in this dilapidated little Internet café, and the one who shouted the most was the bearded man in the middle who was wearing a middle school uniform.

That's right, this is the Earth. An ordinary Internet café on earth.

Just like what the big man just said, they will really be remembered by history...... In a way they had never thought of, it set a precedent for a new generation of warfare.

What these players are obsessed with in front of them is the "Insecticide War" released by Chen Zheng.

It's this unimaginably powerful, skilled, and realistic game that makes the Foot Pickers even realize that this time the robot they control is actually a real robot! And the battle they are going to fight is also the real war that will take place on a desolate star that is not many light years away.

At this moment, the ignorant "soldiers" are completely unaware that they are making history, and are completely immersed in this "copy" journey.

……

In the villa on Jizhou Island, Chen Zheng was talking to Lao Wang, who was far away in the desert star.

"Well, are they okay?" Chen Zheng asked.

“…… It's unimaginably professional......" Lao Wang shook his head and sighed.

"Are you relieved?"

“…… No, I'm still not at ease, so I decided to see the last ......" Lao Wang thought about it, but still shook his head.

"It's just a small mine...... If they can't do it, let our own people go up, it's just an experiment......" Chen Zheng looked at Lao Wang's face without shaking at all, yawned and wiped the water droplets from the corners of his eyes, "Whatever you want, I have to go sleep for a while." ”

"Go ahead, have a good dream." Lao Wang looked at the screen that had been blackened, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.

What he experienced this afternoon did subvert his worldview a little.

Who would have thought that a little fat man who couldn't study well would have such an amazing talent!?

You must know that two of the six drone pilots on the desert star are real-life pilots! One of them has more than 10,000 hours of flying experience!

However, under their control, the Viking fighter can only be entangled with dozens of flying dragons, while Chen Zheng and Little Fat Man operate the same drone, but they can take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand armies......

…… If Chen Zheng's magic can be attributed to the mysterious "zero force", then the success of the little fat man has completely subverted Lao Wang's worldview!

Could an ordinary human being burst out with such a powerful force?

But even so, he just thought that the little fat man's incident was just an isolated case, but the events of the afternoon once again subverted his cognition.

After the initial elimination of the insect nest, Chen Zheng actually ordered the authority of the purge team to be transferred directly to the "Pest Eradication War" players in an Internet café!! You know, this is a war! It's not some kind of online game like a house!!

But no matter how much Lao Wang objected, Chen Zheng still tried his best to defy public opinion and handed over this task to the big man in school uniform.

Leave military tasks to ordinary people...... Such a crazy idea had never appeared in Lao Wang's mind! And such a "magical" thing happened right under his nose! And no matter how much he objected, he could only watch like this......

I have to say that Lao Wang is indeed resistant in his heart - how can professional things be handed over to laymen!?

However, the reality soon told Lao Wang who was the layman.

When the "tactical analysts" on the team of civilian players began to select weapons, robot configurations, and armor paints, Lao Wang's complaints began to decrease......

…… And when Lao Wang saw that the "strategic analyst" in this player team skillfully manipulated the tank cluster to conduct tactical drills, Lao Wang was directly stunned by his fine "micro-operation"!

Originally, it was very simple to board a plane and line up in a dense formation, but if you want to make real-time formation changes according to the battle situation, targeted attacks on high-level and dangerous targets, how to protect yourself while destroying the enemy...... It's a lot harder.

There are few humans on the Wasteland, and things like automatic tanks are originally cannon fodder in cannon fodder, so the soldiers under Lao Wang have always been just using them as "mobile weapon stations".

However, under the manipulation of this "strategic analyst", the clumsy tanks that can only "line up to shoot" can actually conjure up all kinds of formations and use all kinds of tactics that Lao Wang has never thought of......

…… Although I haven't seen their actual battles, I know that the battle loss ratio of these players is definitely much better than that of the group of soldiers under Lao Wang.

After hanging up the communication with Chen Zheng, Lao Wang turned around and led a group of soldiers under him to stare intently at the screen in front of him.

The screen is played by the men in school uniforms, who are playing the "Crypt Copy".

……

"Bear ————"

Pillars of flame swept back and forth, clearing the cavern of slime and unidentified cuticles.

The advance team, led by Spitfire tanks and machine gun tanks, is cleaning the crypt, which has become even larger, little by little.

Behind the strikers, five or six players controlled the defense robots and followed far behind.

Throughout the cave, countless such squads are cleaning up the remnants of the cave little by little, and when they encounter small groups of bugs, these squads can deal with them themselves.

Once a relatively large swarm of insects is encountered, several nearby squads will converge into a force to defend in situ, and at the same time, a large number of unmanned tanks will be transferred to the rear to support and intercept, and then use the advantage of firepower to force the swarm into a dead end, and then slowly strangle it a little.

In addition to the occasional loss of a few unmanned tanks in this process, the defense robots used by Lao Wang and them as cannon fodder can't even hurt a single hair! Just shoot in the back and throw bombs...... It's as easy as if you're on an outing.

And the only moment that makes players nervous is when the "Elite Monster" appears.

So far, the main classes of the bugs have been jumping worms, jet worms, and wyverns, supplemented by specific "boss" flying varieties. However, when fighting on the ground, there will always be new varieties of strange appearance, which are more threatening than jumping bugs and jets, but far less powerful than bosses such as flying snakes and female worms.

These bizarre and rare breeds are known as "Elite Monsters" in the minds of players.

The battle continued without danger, and gradually the casualty ratio began to be so low that the old king did not want to see it - the death of thousands of insects was actually only exchanged for the scrapping of 17 tanks.

Because it is the relationship between the main perspective, Lao Wang and the others are very clear about the level of these first-line players - although they do have strong marksmanship, but in general, there is not much difference between them and his subordinates.

If you just have good marksmanship and accurate marksmanship, you won't be able to play such a disparity in battle loss ratio.

What interests Lao Wang the most is actually the two positions of "tactical analyst" and "strategic analyst" of the players...... And these two positions really opened his eyes.
