Yu Shaonian's plan has received strong support from the top decision-makers of the federal government, and the research on zombies in various branches is indeed progressing slowly, and it is urgent to integrate scientific research forces in order to achieve a revolutionary breakthrough. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The newly established Zombie Research Laboratory of the Federal Academy of Sciences is the highest standard of the Federation in terms of experimental equipment and talent support. The golden combination of 13 academicians, the investment of the national treasury regardless of the blood capital, and the full cooperation of other units make Yu Shaonian know the depth of the outside world's expectations for himself.

Except for Zhao Yi, the other 12 academicians are all leaders in their respective fields, and after being personally selected by Yu Shao Nian, they are by no means as indiscriminate as Jiang Chu. Daily research is carried out by these people, Zhao Yi is usually busy with practice, and every two days he goes to the laboratory to order something, and then provides you with some ideas from the perspective of corpse path. Everyone knows that Zhao Yi is not from a formal academic class, but he doesn't care about his absenteeism.

The federal government finally made up its mind to start the formal encirclement and suppression of zombies, and for the sake of safety, the 24th Army of the First Military Region first carried out a pilot encirclement and suppression in Shangdu, far away from the base cities.

Zhao Yi knew that it was probably too late to start encircling and suppressing now, and the 24th Army might have to suffer several big losses. However, although he is a special adviser to the Ministry of Security and a member of the Federal Academy of Sciences, he is far from having the ability to influence the strategic decision-making of the Federation, so he can only symbolically raise some objections, but only a little bit of a personal matter.

The only thing that worries him is that Liu Zuoyu happened to be transferred to the 24th Army and was also on the list of troops to be recruited, but he was afraid that the road ahead would be a little bumpy. He also pinched his fingers to calculate, but the sky was vast, and he couldn't calculate Liu Zuoyu's good luck at all, so he had to refine some life-saving talismans and hand them to Liu Zuoyu, and repeatedly told him to be careful in everything.

On this day, Zhao Yi was meditating, and suddenly received a call from Yu Shaonian, asking him to rush to the laboratory as soon as possible, there was something to discuss. Zhao Yi hurriedly changed his clothes and went out to get into the special car that the Academy of Sciences came to pick him up.

The zombie research laboratory said that it was a laboratory, but it was actually a large-scale scientific research institute with the laboratory as the main body, and when Zhao Yi arrived, the other 12 academicians were already waiting for him in the conference room, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

"What's wrong, why are you so serious?" Zhao Yi was confused.

Yu Shaonian said, "Let me tell you, Xiao Zhao, the report you submitted a few days ago was confirmed by the 24th Army. A large number of new zombies did appear in Shangdu, which brought great resistance to the encirclement and suppression operation, and the progress of the 24th Army was slow, and the combat attrition had exceeded 4,000 people. We now have a heavy task, and we must figure out the characteristics and weaknesses of the new zombies in the shortest possible time, so as to provide operational reference for the front-line troops. ”

"A new type of zombie, you're talking about a corpse." Zhao Yi was a little abrupt, "Didn't the corpse appear a long time ago, I remember that there were relevant experiments in the laboratory." Besides, although the ambush corpse can cause damage to armored vehicles, it should not be a big problem under the suppression of tank clusters and air forces. ”

Yu Shaonian was silent, and handed Zhao Yi a copy of the latest internal reference news, on which the bright red words "Level 5 Top Secret" were very dazzling, and there was a line of small words attached below, "Only for academicians of the Academy of Sciences to read, take it back after reading."

Before the 24th Army went to Shangdu, the military had conducted a rigorous argument that in the tactical simulation, the tank cluster did not actually appear as a decisive force.

The combat mode formulated by the military is mainly long-range strikes and air strikes, and the principle of non-contact operations is pursued. First, use long-range firepower to carry out fixed-point strikes on areas where zombies gather at level 5 or above, and then dispatch the air force to carry out carpet bombing of commercial metropolitan areas. On the premise of eliminating most of the zombies, the armored forces will carry out the encirclement and suppression, of which the armored forces are mainly mobile light armored vehicles.

It is said that this mode of operation is extremely feasible after careful demonstration. In everyone's stereotype, zombies win by numbers, neither can attack remotely, and have no ability to fly, the most important thing is that zombies do not have intelligence, it is impossible to arrange tactics like humans, they can only be used as targets in a swarm, and it is easy to clear out.

Before the 24th Army set out on the expedition, almost all factions of the military regarded this encirclement and suppression as a military journey, and all kinds of connections found a way to stuff the people of the 24th Army. Everyone thinks that just going to the business capital to go around can mix up military merits, which is simply too cost-effective.

Defeat in battle? Sacrifice? How can it be! The 70,000-strong heavily armed army encircled and suppressed the zombies who didn't even have an IQ, and it was easier than eating and drinking water to have both long-range fire support and complete air supremacy. Zombies are terrible for ordinary people and small troops, in the face of the basic battle corps of 10,000 people, even if the number of zombies exceeds a hundred times that of the group army, then you must kneel.

In order to compete for the qualification for the first battle, the 24th Army shouted and fought for its head, and the highest voices were of course the antiaircraft artillery brigade and the missile brigade. In the end, however, this qualification for the first battle fell into the hands of the land-based intercontinental missile unit of the Federal Air Force, which was gearing up and even shouted the slogan "The first battle is a decisive battle, and the battle will be decided in one fell swoop."

Of course, the land-based intercontinental missile units also have this confidence, and they will use the "Hades" strategic missile for the first time, with a maximum range of 15,000 kilometers and a total charge of more than two tons of conventional sub-warheads, which can strike and cover a medium-sized city, and the minimum probability of killing is not less than 300,000 people. After Hades, various types of tactical missiles will saturate and strike at the intended target, and the operational expectation of the command is to delay the gathering of zombies through long-range strikes, and then use air strikes to eliminate more than 80% of the zombies' living forces.

However, the facts have given all optimists a blow to the head, as the first of the three axes in combat, the long-range firepower has almost completely failed!

Whether it is a strategic missile or a tactical missile, they have deviated from the predetermined track and landed around the urban area when they are close to the commercial metropolitan area, and what is even more strange is that the detonation rate of these missiles is less than 3%, and they have hardly caused any substantial damage to the corpses!

As with long-range strikes, the air strikes that appeared as the second hatchet did not reach their intended objectives.

Because there is no air defense force for bullying zombies, the air raid did not strictly screen the models, and a total of nearly 1,000 sorties of various bombers were dispatched, with more than half a ton of napalm as the main aerial bomb, and the Shangdu was saturated bombing for two days.

Napalm is an effective but inhumane weapon in human warfare, and after its explosion, it forms a layer of flame that sputters in all directions, emitting a high temperature of about 1000°C, and can stick to other objects and burn for a long time. The key is that it has another practical but dangerous effect, that is, it will rapidly consume the oxygen in the nearby air, and produce a large amount of carbon monoxide to cause biological asphyxiation, the heavier the napalm, the more obvious the effect.

However, when used on zombies, the effect of napalm is greatly reduced, first, the zombies do not feel pain, and after being attached to the combustible, they will not be beaten and roll to the ground like humans, but will rush up to suppress the flames; Second, zombies don't need to breathe, so they don't care about the oxygen and carbon monoxide concentrations around them.

And what is even more unexpected is that there has been combat attrition in the Air Force! Thirty or fifty ambushed corpses threw all kinds of iron weapons in their hands at the same time, and they actually hit the low-altitude dive bomber! The pilot had no choice but to parachute, and it is conceivable that the zombies would never abide by the Geneva Treaty.

In the war between human beings, large-angle dive bombing has long disappeared for nearly a hundred years, because of the increase in the speed of jets and the enhancement of air defense, large-angle dive once became synonymous with death.

However, this time is different, given that the zombies have no air defense, the command did not prohibit low-speed aircraft from participating in air strikes. It was actually a transport plane that was hit, and it made a temporary cameo appearance as a bomber, and carried out low-altitude dive bombing in pursuit of effect, but unexpectedly paid a heavy price.

Since neither long-range strikes nor air strikes had achieved the expected results, the command began to be cautious, and while ordering the 24th Army to rely on its strong mobility advantage to fight on the periphery, it also urgently studied and formulated a new combat strategy. The Academy of Sciences has received a request for assistance from the military and has sent a scientific research team to the front line to work with the Ordnance Technology Research Institute to investigate the cause of the missile's failure.

The Zombie Research Laboratory led by Yu Shao Nian naturally has a role to play in this situation, they must detect all the physical data of the corpse and find out the weakness of the corpse.

Yu Shaonian said to Zhao Yi earnestly, "Xiao Zhao, the task of our laboratory is very heavy, and tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line are still waiting for our research results." Although the 24th Army is highly mobile, the number of zombies is too large, so the combat attrition is also very strong. According to the feedback from the front, the most harmful to them is precisely the new type of zombie that is ambushed. We've studied corpses before, but we haven't been able to go deeper, and now we need your intervention urgently. ”

"What do you need me to do?" Zhao Yi asked.

Yu Shaonian said embarrassedly, "Xiao Zhao, that's the case." We have also received specimens from the Ministry of Security in the past, and we have studied them to a certain extent. But the problem is that we can't get live subjects, and we can't continue a lot of experiments, so, you see, ......"

Zhao Yi suddenly realized, "You mean, let me go and catch a live corpse for you?" ”

Yu Shaonian nodded and said, "We hope that you, as one of the representatives of the Academy of Sciences, will participate in the research team composed of the Ministry of Security, the military and the Academy of Sciences, go to the base city to find the ambushed corpse, and conduct observation and research, and at the same time, wait for the opportunity to capture the ambushed corpse." Xiao Zhao, your strength is obvious to all, and you have a deep understanding of zombies, there is really no more suitable person than you in the laboratory. ”

Zhao Yi thought about it, nodded and agreed, he was named in the Academy of Sciences, but in fact, he had never done any research, and it was really unreasonable. It's okay to go out this time, Arita Cheng will take care of it, and it shouldn't be too difficult to catch a corpse. Besides, if the results of the research are obtained earlier, Liu Zuoyu, who is in the 24th Army, will also have an additional security guarantee.
