With the help of the special environment of the Aura Zone, Pan Wen's fleet wiped out the swarms in pursuit, and the remaining bits and pieces were dealt with by the Overrun Mechs.

Next, it is necessary to wait for Kareda to allocate the fleet, and Pan Wen simply let the fleet approach along the aura, and if something goes wrong, it is better to help nearby.

During this preparation, both Pan Wen and D21's orbital fleet focused most of their attention on observing the information transmitted back by the satellite, but what puzzled them was that the observation footage showed that the large bugs that had obviously had shields in the previous battle did not leave the E7 low orbit area and approach D21.

Asking the second host Doudou to analyze the image of the swarm that has been stabilized can confirm that there are still more than 800,000 small bugs in orbit, so the big bugs do not move, not because of a lack of troops.

Maybe it will take time to evolve or mutate? Will the strength of the shield become a bit outrageous in the future?

There is too little information, and everyone still hopes to let the crew rest more by taking advantage of the short calm, and by the way, think of some better way, to do this, the premise is what kind of bug the big bug is.

The most worrying thing is that the big insect is a pure meat shield, although it can cover the war insect with its huge body, but the small war insect is rotten after all, even if it is a little closer, it can not play a big role. The fastest ballistic velocity of the plasma mass observed so far is thrown by a worm with superpower acceleration, and it is less than 8,000 kilometers per second, and the interception system of human warships targets missiles that can penetrate the defense at a speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per second.

The greater threat is that the big insect itself has combat capabilities, and as an organism, it may not be suitable for long-distance combat, but there is no guarantee that specialized organs will not evolve high-energy attack methods within 100,000 kilometers, and if it is supplemented by live missiles that will not attract plasma groups, it will inevitably pose a great threat to the D21 orbital fleet. However, because the mutated big bugs did not move for half an hour, it seems unlikely that they have direct combat capabilities.

There is also a possibility that it will become the outer space production base of the swarm. This possibility is based on the conclusion drawn from the previous observation of the production method of insect swarms, a bug that is developing into space combat cannot rely on ground supplies for production forever, considering that bugs have a historical record of "sucking dry" planets, in order to ensure the next long journey, they also need to have large production bugs.

The size of the big insects fully assumes the responsibility of the production base, and even if these seem to have been mutated in advance by Pan Wen's sneak attack, they are more than a kilometer long, and their proportions are far larger in terms of volume than all kinds of warships of the same length of sticks or bricks.

If the big worm is a production bug, there are two possibilities next, one is that it will produce a large number of garbage war bugs, plus the eggs supplied by the ground, to maintain the same harassment intensity as before, the number of insect swarms in the E7 orbit may increase instead of decreasing, and if it reaches a certain order of magnitude, maybe even the space for ultra-long-range attacks will disappear.

The second is that it may produce larger and stronger bugs than existing war bugs, and the consequences of that cannot be assessed in advance now, and must wait until the combat capabilities of new bugs are figured out, but judging from the evolutionary mutation of this insect swarm, if there are newer varieties of bugs, it will be more targeted to human technology, and it will definitely be difficult to deal with.

After a short video conference with Careda, Zhou Sen, Fiorian and the major shareholders of Mushroom Head, they all thought that the possibility of the existence of big bugs as a production base would be a little greater, otherwise there should be some action now.

In response to this speculation, several people also discussed the corresponding defense methods.

Bugs are not difficult to deal with now, and the main reason is not how weak the defense of ordinary war bugs and superpower acceleration war bugs is, but their excessively single means of attack. But if the new types that appear next are not plasma, and the swarm is changed to a hybrid attack type, then these weak war insects are not an existence that can be ignored, with their numbers, as long as they are not taken care of properly, the loss is not just a battleship.

Since there is no ability to destroy the mutant insects for the time being, and the attack methods of the new species of insects are not clear, the only thing that can be done now is to weaken the presence of plasma on the battlefield as much as possible.

"I've heard of a solution, but I don't know if it works." This time it is about everyone's property and the time and energy invested, and the mushroom head is no longer pretending to be two, and takes the initiative to come up with ideas.

"Tell me directly, do you still want to please?" Zhou Sen's tone was obviously reckless, as before.

Of course, the mushroom head also has a name, but his hairstyle is so good that no one wants to spend effort to memorize his long list of names, and it is not good to call the mushroom head directly, so try not to call it by name. After the previous recuperation back to Saigues, the total tonnage of Mushroomhead's fleet has increased slightly after replenishing the battle damage compared to when the contract was signed, and the recent contribution is significantly more than that of Zhou Sen.

"There is a lightning rod in my hometown, which was left over from the transformation of the planet's atmospheric environment, and it is said that it is the connation of electrical energy, and the use of this energy can also change some atomic structures by the way......"

Kareda directly shook his head and interrupted the mushroom head: "I have learned that this technology can provide a safe ground environment for the planet to be transformed in the early stage, but its technology is very complicated, and our existing equipment cannot be produced, if you buy it externally, you will not want to know the price." ”

The lightning rod mentioned by the mushroom head is also something similar to a satellite, except that it operates in a bottom-reading orbit and dissociates the high-density electric field in the atmosphere. Although the space environment is different from the ground, but the things to deal with are the same, the plasma will automatically find the lightning rod, its advantage is that it itself is made to deal with the plasma, the electric field, will not be like the ordinary electromagnetic barrage, the plasma will produce dissolution vaporization and other reactions, if there is a certain amount of it can indeed provide continuous security.

"Then you can only build a solid 'satellite' by yourself." Zhou Sen proposed a low-cost solution.

"It sounds good, it gets results quickly, and that's what we need." Pan Wen agreed with Zhou Sen's proposal.

As the name suggests, the solid "satellite" is a solid metal ball flying in the orbit of the planet, for the current D21, the only cost is only the number of actions of the transport ship to and from the atmosphere, and the arrangement can be completed by the fighter in orbit, without the need for a launch structure.

"Maybe you can add a little bit of highly vaporized metal and make it reusable?" Fiorian said with some uncertainty.

Seeing that the three of them agreed, the mushroom head shrugged: "Then use the cheap one." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the engineer." Kareda felt that the discussion between the guys was not necessarily reliable, and left the meeting screen for the time being.

As soon as she left, Zhou Sen and Fiolian's attention obviously shifted to Pan Wen.

"Lao Pan, what kind of ship are you driving? Why doesn't Kareda let us look at it, and doesn't allow us to communicate with you alone? ”

Why don't you let them see it, in fact, everyone here knows it, after all, when it was attacked by fellow pirates at that time, it also detected the combat firepower of the Golden from a distance. Zhou Sen asked, perhaps wanting to take advantage of his usual grinning image to see Pan Wen's opinion on this matter.

"You know that I don't care about these construction and development matters, she also wants everyone to have a stable mentality, otherwise they will all run to do business, and we will have no place to support the elderly in the future."

Zhou Sen nodded, seemed to accept Pan Wen's statement, and then asked: "That's the case, has the 'business' been very good recently?" ”

At the time of signing the D21 development cooperation agreement, Zhou Sen had a fleet larger than Pan Wen, and for most of the past six months, although there were losses before and after, counting the frigates of his fellow pirates who surrendered at that time, and a new ship he bought when he was resting, the strength has not changed much. But this big pirate who has not changed much, compared with Pan Wen, who runs wild roads outside all day long, the gap is big, and it is not surprising that there is this question.

Pan Wen only answered truthfully: "It's getting harder and harder, you also know the situation of MR241, although Segeis has taken advantage of the reason to let the empire give in this time, it has only forced them to use more and more tonnage ships in MR241, and they are afraid to go hunting, you see I haven't had a new ship for several months." ”

The three of them obviously disagreed with Pan Wen's statement that "there has been no new ship for several months", and the second lieutenant took over the heavy hammer not long ago, and they all had a "look at you blowing" expression.

This kind of communication Karuida must be watching from the side, even if it doesn't, you can watch the video for a while, and the three of them didn't continue to ask more questions, but they didn't know if they were thinking about when to expand the fleet fiercely.

Kareda quickly returned to the meeting screen and affirmed the proposal just now: "The engineer said that this plan can be used, because the location requirements of the arrangement cannot affect the operation, and it can help tow forty percent of the plasma at most." ”

"That's quite a lot."

The auxiliary defense plan was temporarily settled, and not long after, Pan Wen's detachment in D21 also returned under the leadership of Pan Yue'er.

Gold, Fat Dun, Ensign No. 1 and No. 2, Heavy Hammer, Soldier No. 1, No. 24, and Sanitation No. 1. Only the cannon fodder Soldier III was seriously injured in the previous swarm suppression battle and remained in the D21 orbital harbor, with five crew members missing. Pan Yue'er reported that Scardragon said that it could be repaired, but for the time being, the materials and equipment could not repair the frigate as a whole, and it was recommended to find time to drag it back to Segeis for repair.

In addition to its own ship, there are two large transport ships and a high-speed communication boat in Kareda, and now the transport ships each carry only a small engineering box, which is only a third the size of the transport ship.

Large transport ships can push millions of tons of giant cargo boxes to make hyperspace jumps, and the purchase cost is actually not much cheaper than that of corvettes, and it can take out two at a time, which shows that Karuida is also a little annoyed by insects and has invested some money.

The task of throwing stones, of course, was done by three soldier-class cannon fodder ships and escort transport ships, because Pan Wen had already thought about blowing up the E7 earlier, so the plan was almost ready-made. In order to speed up the bombing process, the alternate asteroids must be a few sizes smaller, and the re-scanning and selection work has been completed while waiting for the fleet to return, so among the several ships, Pan Wen just used the video conference to praise and encourage the captains of the three cannon fodder ships, and let them leave with the key data of the alternate asteroids.

The change in the planetary bombing plan lowered the gauge hand, and Pan Wen's original plan was to eliminate the possibility of organic matter formation in E7, which meant that E7 would become a molten state like D23, which was attacked by planetary missiles, and it would require a large asteroid to bombard. Now it becomes a matter of solving the crisis caused by the swarm as soon as possible, with the goal of cutting off the supply line from the ground to low orbit, as long as the surface can be heated to more than 800 degrees, and it does not even require a single impact to complete, so the asteroid selected will be much smaller, as long as it will not be broken by the swarm.

After the plan was changed, two large transport ships would be able to complete the hauling, orbit change, and bombardment of two stones at the same time after about 120 hours.

This means that no matter what moths the bugs are, the Pan Vin fleet in charge of guerrilla warfare, and the D21 orbital fleet, which is close to exhaustion, still need to support at least one hundred and twenty hours, and during this time period, the orbital port must not be killed by the bugs, and this task is not easy when the big bugs have already partially mutated.
