Chapter 36: The Zerg Vanguard

According to the information transmitted back from the four interstellar points, the Zerg's offensive methods are quite simple, they are all very simple to dock at the edge of the planet's atmosphere, and then launch a female worm to attack the ground. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first frontier camp to be attacked was a purely mineral resource planet, where living conditions were extremely harsh and there were no indigenous creatures. There is a standard equipped third-level development division stationed on it, with one hundred and twenty combat personnel, 300 second-generation combat mechs, 300 third-generation combat mechs, and 15 fourth-generation combat mechs. In addition, there are 300 construction personnel, who are responsible for the operation of 1,500 construction robots and the collection and transportation of resources.

The enemy they faced was a female worm, which was directly destroyed by the small missiles of the Developer's military base during the dropping process, and after landing, most of the Honkai Female Worm still released tens of thousands of beginner larvae, but then it was easily wiped out by the Developer's mecha. There were not even more than twenty mechs completely destroyed in the battle, and it was this kind of intelligence that made the Huaxia Command at that time even think that the Zerg was not enough.

The second raided frontier camp is a planet with indigenous creatures, but no indigenous civilization has yet emerged. There are two third-level developers stationed on this planet, with 900 construction personnel, 3,000 construction robots, and 300 large construction robots.

This time, the Zerg still docked at the edge of the atmosphere very simply, released it, and then left. It's just that this time, four female worms were dropped at one time, and they deliberately chose to drop them in space 1,500 kilometers away from the base, and the maximum attack range of the small missile was only 800 kilometers.

The mother worm that was beyond the attack range of the small missile landed safely, and then the four mother worms directly released hundreds of thousands of primary-level larvae and swept towards the camp. Because the camp had already received information from the last battle, it knew that although these bugs were numerous and powerful, they were actually fragile, so they were not very nervous. This was true in the first battle, hundreds of thousands of bugs were easily wiped out on the first day, because with the combat intelligence of the brother troops, the two developers did not even produce a completely destroyed mech.

However, the battle on the second day fell into a strange state, and the bugs suddenly stopped taking the initiative to attack, but set up the next line of defense according to the terrain, and began to fight a defensive battle with humans. Although it is not known what the defensive bugs are doing, the staff can easily deduce that the bugs seem to be trying to stall for time. Under the strict orders of the headquarters, two fully staffed third-level development divisions were dispatched with the whole army, and it took only three days to sweep away the remaining defensive bugs.

But what they ushered in was not the dawn of victory, but the beginning of a nightmare. The mother worm was already close at hand, and there were only tens of thousands of bugs in front of the female worm, and just when the commanders of the two development divisions thought that they were in control, the soldiers on the front line began to notice that these bugs seemed to be a little different from the previous ones......

Although the number of these newborn insects is several times smaller, the quality has made a leap, and the metal bullets that once destroyed the swarm have become obscure, although they can still have a killing effect on the insects, but the days of sweeping away are gone.

Fortunately, the two developers still have thirty fourth-generation mechs equipped with energy weapons, and the bugs are still in tatters in the face of laser weapons. After paying almost all the second and third generations of mechas, he barely wiped out these tens of thousands of evolutionary bugs. And this kind of high-intensity combat has also put the base's reserve energy into a dangerous depleted state, and it will take at least a week to return to full energy. But the four females apparently don't give humans a week's time.

At the critical moment, one of the commanders of the development division was in a hurry, using a large construction robot to march 800 kilometers of the base overnight, and then sent the mother worm to the western sky with the small missiles equipped with the base. Even so, the final price paid was heavy, and the thirty fourth-generation mecha responsible for covering and opening the way were almost wiped out, and finally all the construction robots had to be pushed up, and all the remnants of the Zerg were barely annihilated.

Such a heavy loss made the Huaxia Interstellar Command unprecedentedly nervous, because according to the trajectory of the Zerg fleet, the next target they were about to pass by was a high-level resource-based planet with a primitive civilization where the second-level stability maintenance division was stationed. Not to mention the importance of high-level resource-based planets, just say that the second-level stability maintenance division is already an elite unit in Huaxia. Although the second and third levels seem to be similar, the difference in strength between the two is almost the same as that between the militia and the regular army. This second-level stability maintenance division has 403 generation mechs, 200 4 generation mechs, and 15 5th generation mechs, and is equipped with 15 medium-range missiles with a maximum range of 3,000 kilometers, and the missile launchers are mobile. In addition, the energy reserves of the base are ten times that of the third-level developer base.

Compared with the first-level combat divisions and mythical-level mecha divisions similar to ace troops and special forces, the most conventional elite forces on the earth are actually second-level stability maintenance divisions. Of course, although the navy, army, and air force still exist as standing arms, they have been reduced to the level of combat effectiveness with the third-level development division under the trend of the times of the universe, which is mainly aimed at the human journey.

In response to this possible invasion, the commanders and operational staff officers of the Level 2 Stability Maintenance Division conducted a comprehensive tactical deduction rehearsal and prepared to face the ten female worms.

If Wang Xiaoshi was here, he might make other judgments because of the existence of a native civilization on this planet, because he was the only one among the current human beings who knew that the number of troops put into the Zerg was only related to the civilization level of this planet.

Instead of ten female worms, the second-level stability maintenance division greeted a full hundred, and even the usual practice of docking in the atmosphere and dropping them and then leaving broke the habit of this time, this time the insect ships were docked at the edge of the atmosphere until the end of the war on the ground.

These 100 female worms were placed in the hemisphere opposite the base of the stability maintenance division, and the distance of nearly 10,000 kilometers was difficult for even the seventh-generation mecha to reach because of the problem of signal coverage, and it was impossible to give any interception on the way to the female worm landing.

The 100 female worms that successfully landed brought a terrifying sea of insects - a boundless sea of insects formed by tens of millions of insects rampaging across the entire planet, and the aboriginal creatures were wiped out in an instant, even the mountains and seas on the planet could not stop the advance of the sea of insects. When encountering high mountains, they evolved huge flying insects like transport ships, carrying countless insects over mountains and mountains; When millions of insects are drowned, the mother quickly hatches floating insects that can cross the ocean.

When hundreds of millions of evolutionary insects swept towards the Stability Maintainer base like a brown ocean, the outcome was no longer predictable.

But the sacrifice of the Stability Maintainers was worth it, and they finally unveiled the first layer of mystery that shrouded the Zerg. Although it is only a thin layer, it is enough for humans to make a preliminary assessment of their strength.

Judging by the size of the docked Bug Ship, there may be a limit to the number of female worms that each Bug Ship can load. And it is very likely that the number will not exceed one hundred and fifty, and it is very likely that the female worm will be a Zerg strategic weapon that cannot be mass-produced, that is, if you kill one, there will be one less. Otherwise, why is there any need for the bug ship to dock here, as if waiting to retrieve the mother worm?

According to the size of the docked insect ships and the length of the Zerg fleet, the number of all insect ships should be between 300 and 350, and if each insect ship is loaded with 150 female insects, then it is about 45,000 female insects to 52,500 female insects.

A female worm can hatch about 150,000 primary larvae at a time, from which it can be preliminarily inferred that if the Zerg succeeds in releasing all the female worms on the earth, then the first wave of attacks on the earth will be a wave of 6.5 billion to 7.8 billion insects, and this number will double the number every day.

"It would be nice if we equipped the stability maintenance division with air-based missiles, at least we could know if that thing could blow a hole in this disgusting bug ship." A colonel said bitterly.

"I don't think the prospects for using missiles to attack are optimistic, because the main lethality of missiles comes from shock waves and high temperatures, and the lethality of missiles in space is too great. Even if it hits a target in the atmosphere, a small missile can't even completely destroy a female worm in an airdropped state, you must know that it is hit when the female worm passes through the atmosphere and is in a state of high temperature friction, with such a bonus effect, it can't complete the complete destruction, so I even doubt that the female worm on the ground can completely cancel out the attack power of the small missile. Another officer retorted with a solemn face.

"But weren't the four female worms in the second attack completely destroyed by small missiles?" A new point of view has been raised.

"That was a special case, the four females were relatively concentrated, and the result was achieved under the superimposed explosion of twenty small missiles. If nothing else, those disgusting bugs will never make such a position mistake again. ”

The lieutenant general noticed the pessimistic atmosphere that permeated the crowd, waved his hand with a sullen face to stop them from continuing to speak, and said: "At present, the interstellar staff has preliminarily determined that the Zerg is very likely to have long-range strike capabilities, and their biggest reliance is to buy time with numbers, and then carry out targeted evolution according to the opponent's attack methods. Chairman Jiang Qiao had a far-sighted proposal as early as the beginning of the discovery of the Zerg that in order to wipe out the Zerg in the outer reaches of the solar system, at least to deal a heavy blow to the enemy before they approached Mars. ”

Then, the iron-faced lieutenant general made a concluding speech: "The top priority at present is to vigorously develop space combat forces, and the means of combat should be inclined to energy weapons, I don't believe that these bugs can still evolve shells to resist laser weapons." Don't limit yourself to just Battlemechs, after all, most Battlemails don't have space combat capabilities, and both space battleships and space fighters have to be considered.

This is also the main reason for today's comrades Yuan and Zhou of the conscription department, and the conditions for conscription should first consider the overall situation of space warfare.

All of you here are the leaders of our Huaxia Interstellar Command, and in three days, we will sit here again, when Chairman Jiang Qiao will personally come to preside over the meeting, and I hope that the speeches I will hear at that time will be substantial, and there will be confidence in victory, not like today's lost dogs! Meeting! ”

Zhou Zhou Chong was still flipping through the attack on the fourth frontier camp, because the attacked planet did not have an orbital satellite, so there was very little information, although it was the first camp to be attacked, it was ranked at the bottom of the data

This camp is a fourth-level detection company, which is almost at the level of community security compared to the developer. The company, known as Silent Night, is stationed on a planet labeled XD5, which has been shown to be of limited value based on initial reconnaissance data. It's just that the living conditions are highly similar to the earth, but no life has been found, and the main purpose of this trip is to find out why there is no life on this planet that is suspected to be the cradle of life.

Monday Chong stared at the surveillance footage observed by a nearby satellite, which was the image of the insect ship docking and dropping the invasive mother worm. The four large oval-spherical objects are obviously the four females, but there is a very small round object in between.

Dragged to the next image, the tiny circle broke away from the mother's trajectory and landed alone towards the northern hemisphere.

If Wang Xiaoshi, the only survivor of the Silent Night Reflection Detection Company, was here, he could immediately tell him that the small ball was actually just a Zerg reconnaissance team.
