Chapter 154: The Bug with the Missing Discipline (I)
Being targeted by hooligans is a very difficult thing to deal with, and someone's fleet can knock out tens of thousands of bugs in tens of minutes when it is not regulated.
The long-range point shot hit rate will become worse, but the small insects can't stand the strafing, a shot can drag out tens of thousands of kilometers of jet routes, in the area of high density there is always bad luck, more than a dozen main guns to fight and rely on follow-up supplies can not stand it.
After coming and going, the bugs began to worry about the number of 1,200 small insects, and every time they sent insects to drive the fleet away, the next time it would definitely be a few thousand less, until the number could not scare away and harass the fleet would increase, as if they wanted to find a balance in the middle, so that the supply of small insects could exceed the speed of being consumed.
In the process of repeated harassment, Pan Wen's fleet also encountered the situation of a new variety of war insects chasing after them with small insects, and saw another attack method of the new war insects - missiles.
The reason why it is called a missile instead of a previous missile is that it is very small and has a very high strike density, but it is not very fast and powerful.
The first casualty of the missile attack assessment was Second Lieutenant, led by an elite captain. On one occasion, when they were being pursued, the bugs mobilized twenty new varieties of war bugs at a time, and this was the first time they attacked from an unexpected distance.
Since the missile is a living organism that does not know much, it is somewhat difficult to detect in the space environment, and the details of this attack may also be missed, in short, although the speed of the missile is slower, the time for the interception system to be activated is about the same as that of dealing with normal missiles. After the interception began, because the missile was too small, only half the size of the missile's end structure, the Golden could give less cover to other ships, and the second lieutenant was unlucky to intercept and suffered two shots, the second of which was hit when the interception accuracy decreased after a strike.
If it is a missile, let alone two, just one explosion in the area outside the frontal multilayer structure is enough to destroy a frigate, but the swarm missile is very strange.
Ultra-micro celestial body impact is something that should be considered when designing a large warship, so what role the missile can play cannot be attributed to the terminal velocity, and the complex structure of the battleship separated by layers of vacuum or air is enough to reduce any live ammunition to hundreds of meters per second to finally unable to penetrate, and the result depends on what is contained in the warhead and the starting mode.
For the time being, the battleship's structural armor and composite armor are counted as one layer, and the two missile attacks suffered by Second Lieutenant 2 were both blown up on the structural wall of the second layer of structure, that is, the dangerous environment isolation layer.
The radiation of the environment in some areas of space is so strong that as long as a crack can cause chronic disease through several layers of structural plates, and the main function of the dangerous structural isolation layer is to provide additional damage management means for the warship in the state of breakage/cracking of the outer layer, separated by a layer of anti-radiation structure, and then the maintenance channel is inside. The main explanation is to show that the isolation layer structure itself does not have the ability to protect against high-energy explosions, and the explosion of the insect's missile in the area can only show that the penetration is poor, barely the penetration of an ultra-miniature celestial body the size of a fist, of course, the natural celestial body will become a dust structure when it penetrates the outer layer, and it will not be able to destroy the dangerous isolation layer.
The penetration effect of the two blows was very poor, and the result of the explosion was even worse, only the two isolation hatches of the isolation layer, the structural wall of the isolation layer, and the overall outer pipe of the maintenance channel cable were blown up, and the opening that was drilled into it became slightly larger by more than ten square meters, and no one died.
Oh, and the structural armor deformation also crumbled a few pieces of external composite armor.
Feelings fly hundreds of thousands of kilometers over, just scratch it, after the battle, the damage management department gave a report that it can be repaired!
Although it was just a false alarm, Pan Wen still asked the captain to be cautious about the explosion area, to avoid any strange spores contaminated with insects, and it is best to do ultra-high temperature treatment of the damage area before repairing. Some organisms can withstand hundreds of degrees of temperature in deep water, but in a vacuum environment, one or two thousand degrees is enough to disintegrate almost all light element compounds such as hydrogen, carbon and sulfur, which is absolutely forbidden to life.
The ultra-high temperature disposal will destroy some things in the maintenance channel and increase the maintenance cost, but for this injury, it will increase the material cost of more than ten star coins, which is not a burden on Pan Wen.
After this time, when continuing to carry out harassment, Pan Wen paid more attention to the arrangement of the formation, and also increased the number of deliveries of the reconnaissance array to avoid greater damage. ,
I thought that I had almost seen all the means of fresh varieties of bugs, but it turned out that Pan Wen still underestimated this group of mysterious bugs.
When the "stone" was about seventy hours old, and the members of the orbital fleet were fully rested and maintained urgently, the command ship of Kareda with seven or eight frigates joined the harassment ranks, intensifying the counter-restraint of the swarm, and triggering a second wave of high-yield biological radiation from the swarm, and according to previous experience, the remaining huge bugs also mutated.
Now that they have all mutated, it stands to reason that the swarm should have dealt a devastating blow to their group of damned humans, but I don't know why they are still in a defensive posture, but they will put in more new varieties of war bugs when driving away the fleet.
As more and more big war bugs appeared, Pan Wen realized a shocking fact - the attack and defense methods of these bugs are not the same.
Normally, plasma beams and lasers are used, and plasma swarms and lasers are used, and then there are those that launch live missiles, and even encounter things that can hit a distance of 300,000 kilometers with a laser main gun.
All of the Great War Bugs have the same appearance, but the weapon systems are completely different, and even living organisms can't hold so many messy functions at the same time, so the only explanation is that they also have the same model as human warships, or in production, they are "customized" by those mutated giant bugs according to the commander's will.
In the first 100 hours of the guerrilla warfare and the "stone" operation, about 300 new varieties of war insects were forced out of the swarm one after another through harassment behavior, and the operation should be said to be quite effective. However, according to the comprehensive judgment of Kareda's command system, there should still be more than two hundred Great War Worms in the swarm, and there may be as many as four hundred at most.
The comprehensive judgment of the data range is so large, mainly because I don't understand how much the productivity of the previous giant bug can be improved by a few days of mutation. The number of 200 is the result of the linear growth of productivity, if it is a human production project, whether it is a reference to the D21 ground engineering or a variety of industrial ships, with the increase in volume, the larger the project, the proportion of the production department will increase, and the spatial ratio of core facilities such as personnel and power areas will decrease, which is a non-linear increase.
In the remaining thirty hours, the big bugs can probably produce two batches of war bugs, the number may be equivalent to the existing number of war bugs, if left unattended, they are still a big threat together, so Pan Wen's fleet can't rest yet,
In Pan Wen's own fleet, the part of the crew is calculated according to the full-post operation plus 50% margin when recruiting, and the crew can be guaranteed more than six hours of rest time every 24 hours when conducting continuous operations, but the command staff does not have to take turns, and their rest is also very problematic when they come to Haimer Star for more than 100 hours. Fortunately, although the big war bug is unexpectedly a little sharp, there is no other existence that can threaten the fleet, and everyone can still rest when there is no big war bug appearing, and it makes little difference whether the superpower resonance system is activated when fighting small bugs.
I thought the next thirty hours would be difficult, but the bugs always surprise people, their defenses have shrunk even more, and after being hit, before the counterattack, more and more shielded bugs are used to provide defense for the group. Judging by the strength of the shield, there are both large and large war insects in the production type, and it seems that the number of small insects is a little unable to keep up.
Judging from the previous battle situation, the large production insects are very important in the eyes of the swarm commander, and it seems that it is not an illusion to use them to join the defense, but Pan Wen is also a little too cautious sometimes, and when Kareda discussed with him, he gave up his plan to strengthen the attack under his persuasion.
After several rounds of back and forth, it was finally time for the arrival of the troops transporting the stones.
The cargo ship was not a battleship, and although there were large rocks in front of it, it was detected by insects at a great distance. The time had been calculated a long time ago, and the high-speed communication ships also transmitted data back and forth several times on the way, and the D21 orbital fleet was also fully dispatched at this time to escort the stones, leaving only a few of Pan Wen's ships to "take care" of the swarm nearby.
The humans put on a posture of carrying super stones to fight the swarm to the death, and approached E7 closer and closer, and just as everyone was ready for a big battle, the swarm made another surprising change.
"Throw in the towel! Let me go! ”
A few words are directly expressed on the surface of the pile in the form of luminous objects, which is very conspicuous.
I don't know what the other commanders of the orbital fleet are feeling, anyway, when Pan Wen saw these words, his face turned black on the spot! It's not that I'm worried about its festival, but I never expected that the guy who has delayed the development progress of D21 for most of the year and almost ruined everything recently is not a bug at all!
There is no precedent for the use of human writing in all the historical materials of the Galactic Era, and even a few individuals with extremely high intelligence in the records have only shown a similar way of communication similar to telepathy, and these words are enough to overturn the view that the commander of this insect swarm is a pure-bred worm, if not a player, at least it is a pit made by some secret research institute.
When I came back to my senses, I realized that since it can use the current common language of human beings, it shows that it must have a lot of knowledge of human society, and it can also explain why the evolution and mutation of this group of insects are so targeted.
A few minutes after the text of the worm pile was displayed, the stunned human commanders came back to their senses and naturally connected to a multi-party video conference to discuss and discuss.
Taking advantage of everyone's somewhat confused state, Pan Wen spoke in advance: "Let me say first, no matter how you decide that the E7 bombing cannot be stopped, and afterwards, the D21 must also be ground cleaned." ”
Pan Wen is the third largest shareholder, and the second shareholder Zhou Sen has been a reckless man all year round, and his words still carry a lot of weight, and he also immediately got a response from Karuida.
"I agree with Master Pan's opinion, this time things have developed to this point, because we are not willing to invest more assets and energy, let E7 change it, to keep us alert."
The tone is set, and then it's time to fight with the bugs.
But no one expected that when the humans took out the beacon light to react to the swarm, the insects didn't buy their account, and stretched out a glowing arrow to point in the direction of the Panvin fleet, stating that they would only talk to him.
At such a time, you dare to use means!
Pan Wen raised his eyebrows, didn't say a word, and commanded the fleet's main artillery salvo!
That's right, he didn't plan to negotiate terms with these insects at all, these things won't lose anything when they die, and they probably don't have any property, if they let them go, they can't say that one day they will run back to take revenge, he doesn't have so much time to spend his energy on these things that can't make money.
