Chapter 106: Rumors

The test results of anti-living weapons were much lower than expected, and the direct result after the news came out was that the major shipyards immediately stated that they would stop manufacturing the authorized mounted anti-living weapons indefinitely, and the new ships equipped with anti-living guns would also delay the construction period, and buyers who had placed orders could contact the manufacturer to replace the main guns within three days.

Compared with profits, large manufacturers pay more attention to reputation, or they do not care about reputation, but hope that customers will not die casually, and only living customers can have more orders.

The statement of the big shipyard came out, and it did not eliminate the enthusiasm of the mercenaries of the empire and the federation for the purchase of anti-living weapons, the carrying type and the main gun type are not good, and the projection type can barely be used, at least it is better than the strike effect of conventional missiles, this thing cannot be temporarily modified on the ship, but the shipyard can make the mine model, the effective distance of the mine is closer than the missile, maybe there are surprises, such as getting more essence or something.

In fact, everyone doesn't know what the price will be when the essence is more, but this does not hinder cognition, as long as you understand that the essence is clean energy, and there will never be a shortage of clean energy in the market.

While others were free to care about the relationship between anti-living weapons and essences, Pan Wen and his team were not idle when they returned to K11, they obtained information from several sources and sorted it out, trying to get a clearer picture of the situation.

The personal intelligence system is not comparable to that of large countries such as the Empire and the Federation, but it is also an intelligence network involving dozens of consortia and multinational corporations, and it can be said that every fleet that has stayed outside of K11 has a few people who have more or less acquaintances affiliated with the intelligence network, and within K11, this intelligence network is not even worse than the Empire and the Federal Alliance.

Of course, there are many shortcomings, and among the information collected by their intelligence system, there are many untrue gossip, which cannot be investigated one by one with sufficient manpower and material resources, and can only be manually screened out for key verification, which also affects the timeliness. It took three days for Pan Wen to get the quarantine reports of all the participating ships after they returned to port.

The quarantine report is very problematic, but there is no clue.

According to the quarantine report, the average probability of parasitic/bacterial infection is four times higher than that of other ships for ships with hangars opened in the war zone, but no abnormal behavior of infected/parasitic personnel has been found.

Maybe the parasite needs to be remotely controlled at close range? Or is it just the spread of a strange disease? Still can't work against advanced AI? In the absence of conclusive evidence, it seems impossible to make a reliable judgment.

Rather, it is another incident that alarms the intelligence system - the left-wing swarm seems to be in a strategic contraction!

There is credible information that left-wing swarms ceased their activities in areas K9 and K10 earlier today.

Pan Wen found the contact person of the player's mercenary in his light factory to confirm that he got the same answer, and the liaison said that the coalition was already preparing to distribute the benefits of K9 and K10.

In the earlier tug-of-war between K9 and K10, the resident stars were all attacked by planets. However, the other available planets and asteroids are not very damaged, although there are bugs on these planets, but due to the thin atmosphere or no atmosphere, the cost of small-scale cleaning is not outrageous, and the cost of development can still be limited.

There is no doubt about the strategic contraction of the swarm, but the average spacing between stars on the left flank is a little larger, and a class of reconnaissance ships can only detect the K5-K8 range, and it is impossible to know what is going on from K1 to K4. Even if the coalition forces are willing to take more risks to obtain the intelligence in it, there are too many invisible bugs in it, and it is difficult to use it as real data, and there is no comparison of previous data, so it is impossible to guess what the bugs want to do or what they are doing.

But even though it was difficult to judge, Pan Wen still asked the students to divide into several groups to do a wargame deduction.

According to the deduction, the biggest thing may be to release the human front and expand the combat area, if the coalition forces really arrange the industrial distribution of K9 and K10, the success rate of the left-wing swarm will be significantly increased in the future. However, this tactic has a premise, the bugs cannot fall behind in the original resistance front of K7 and K8, otherwise it will leave sufficient preparation or escape time for the K9K10 part.

Half of the tactical groups deduced such a result, and Pan Wen was not very satisfied. Past examples have proven that the single jump distance of insects is shorter than that of humans, and when a class of reconnaissance ships is put into use, the demon kings are now a major information disadvantage. Even if one square is released, as long as the first-class reconnaissance ship still has one day to run on the front, the swarm has almost no chance of large-scale attack, at most, it will drive away the humans of K9 and K10 and push the fixed facilities that have been put into it once, and maybe take out some small fleets that do not listen to discipline. With such a result, there will be no damage to any aspect of the combat system and logistics system of the K11 defense line, and it is almost impossible for the Demon King to choose such inefficient tactics.

The other set of deductions was more attractive to Pan Wen, shrinking his forces to maintain the density of force within the unit, and drawing out some troops to cross the ice area and directly hit the rear of the MR star cluster.

Pan Wen believes that the tactics and strategies that the demon king can choose can only be aimed at the combat system and logistics system, and if one of them is not flattened or at least poked into a big hole, no matter how many bugs there are, they will have to pay a price that they can't bear if they think about K11. Moreover, Pan Wen did see the bugs jumping into the ice area during the MR251 Haimer Star E7 satellite bug incident, and it is impossible to verify whether it jumped to death in it, but from the perspective of time, the right-wing swarm originating in K30 may be that wave, so it seems not impossible for the bugs to penetrate the ice area again today.

Of course, Pan Wen can't guarantee that what he thinks is right, maybe the insect swarm already has a new insect that can play a special role in the battle, and is concentrating on cultivating it at the moment?

In any case, today's deduction based on the changes in the situation on the left still gave Pan Wen a new way of thinking, and according to this, he did not hesitate to start mobilizing the power of the channel, looking for gunmen to blow a wave of bugs in the media.

In fact, even if there is no result of today's deduction, Pan Wen originally wanted to find time to help the insects blow a wave.

Since the first class of reconnaissance ships were put into the battlefield, the atmosphere of all parties has gradually become impetuous, especially represented by the various forces that have withdrawn from the right wing of the KT star cluster, always thinking of going back to make a name for themselves, for this reason, they continue to advocate the strength of the empire and the federation in various media and information channels, hoping that they will take on more responsibilities and put more troops on the front line.

For the time being, these actions have not yet had serious consequences, the process of increasing troops between the empire and the federation is slow, even if some dignitaries and parliamentarians are influenced by the media and want to put forward more radical proposals, but the coordination of the two superpowers involves all aspects, and it is not up to anyone who says it can be counted, even the emperor of the empire has to look at the decisions of the federation.

Pan Wen is worried that if this trend continues, it may become human supremacy again, and in that case, the Anike mercenaries he managed to put together will be cleaned up by whoever makes trouble. And if the result of the increase in troops is good and arouses people's hearts, the swarm may be disabled by a wave, and now he just has another reason to set fire to the media, which can affect the best result of the increase in troops, and if it doesn't affect it, let more people be cautious.

So the following scene appeared in the media.

"According to this station, the size of the swarm in the left wing of the KT star cluster has suddenly decreased, and it is suspected that a major strategic change is being made, and this station will invite military experts to interpret it for you later." It's more professional.

"The swarm retreats? Experts say the swarm has the potential to be smuggled. "It's forwarded.

"Pack your bags and get ready to go into space, the resident planets of the MR cluster are no longer safe." This is sensationalist little media.

Unilaterally helping the bugs blow will not actually attract the general attention of the crowd, after all, in the weeks since the start of the human-insect war, this kind of news is not nothing, two or three times, and the MR star map crowd far away from the front line is already a little used to it.

However, Pan Wenna's "friend", who has never met and is supposed to be the Awakened, seems to be particularly sensitive to the media, perhaps he is in the media industry, and under the impetus of this invisible hand, things will soon develop in the direction Pan Wen wants.

News and current commentaries, which should not have caused much turmoil, were suddenly attacked by "people of insight", saying that the experts ignored their social responsibilities and openly spread negative influences in the media, and clamored for the major media to ban those experts.

If it is a general situation, because the experts who have been condemned are "bug blowing", most of the masses should be inclined to boycott, but coincidentally, the guy who made the noise has always had bad reviews, and he is a public figure who survives by hyping up negative news, so after the news came out, the feedback received by the media from the masses remained generally neutral.

The attitude of the masses not helping or fighting made the media energetic, and various characters began to speak on both sides.

The more the positive side talks about it, the more it is like that, saying that in the case of the K11 stalemate, the swarm will sooner or later pass through the ice area and directly attack the rear of the human race, and the MR star cluster should not reduce the construction of its own armed forces while supporting K11.

The opposing side clings to the moral high ground, saying that the remarks of certain experts should be resolutely resisted by wantonly creating social panic and inciting the state to waste tax revenues.

Later, a neutral one came out, believing that the different views put forward by the experts could provide more reference for the military department and formulate a more comprehensive combat plan, and on the other hand, saying that social responsibility also needs to be taken into account.

Looking at the changes in public opinion, Pan Wen scratched his head and had to admit that playing the media, it was still the "friend" he had never met who was a little more powerful.

If there is really the possibility of causing panic, countries such as the Islamic Empire and the Republic of Florin that carry out stricter control of public opinion may not be introduced. At this time, whether you want to know or not, you will definitely hear the relevant news through the broadcast and the words of friends, and the continued fermentation will at least give the decision-makers of various countries a little impression, and may eventually subtly affect the dispatch of force.

The subtle change may not change the result at all, at least Pan Wen and his invisible "friends" have worked hard, and they can be regarded as worthy of their NPC identity.

Sifting through all kinds of information, hoping to seize the opportunity to bite a piece of meat on the bug at a certain moment, it was enough for Pan Wen to have a headache, and the Anike people suddenly couldn't be idle!

The Anike mercenary army, who had just completed the rearmament, had a recurrence of his old problems and sent a representative to say something.

"We're going to sell pigs...... No, slave, if Mr. Pan can help, we are willing to pay you 5% of the sales. ”

…… Yes, in just a few days they can't help but do the slave trade business in human society.
