Chapter 9: The Hunter

George!

Liao Fan realized for the first time who the person opposite was, although there was no mess of the information sent by the wingman at this moment, and no image was restored, but just by the voice of that moment just now, Liao Fan could be sure that it must be the captain of his wingman George Undoubtedly.

Looking back at his screen, the synchronized information of the wingman Vultor showed that it had now turned a warning red. Liao Fan tried to click, wanting to get the other party's signal, but what came back was a series of prompts that the communication was interrupted:

"The target of your request has lost contact, the target of your request has lost contact!"

Liao Fan turned his camera in the direction where the vulture had been, where there was still a cloud of mist, which was so tightly blocked that it was impossible to see clearly.

Something happened to the Vulture?! Otherwise, it would never have been possible to shut down the data link, and now it is during the mission.

"Turn all the probes in the direction of the Vulture and gather information about each other."

Liao Fan immediately gave an order to the scientific officer.

"Yes, Captain!"

Optical, sonic and infrared...... The Skylark immediately mobilized all detection methods, and the six remote-controlled probes "Flying Eye" also flew out of the body from the cabin and flew in the direction of the Vulture. However, no signal was received at all. After a while, a huge amount of infrared radiation was detected in the direction of the original vulture, which was huge, and its shape was displayed on the screen strangely, like eight long legs clustering around the body in the middle, blazing like a small sun.

Zerg!

It's a Zerg hunter!

Liao Fan's brain went black in a flash!

There is no doubt that the Vultures are finished! There was absolutely no chance of survival under the attack of the Hunters, and the crew of the Skylark soon knew what had happened!

"Quick! Signal! Warning to the secondary space station! Warning about the levitating Big Dipper! Warn the APAC HQ to spot the Zerg Rangers attacking! ”

"Yes!"

“……”

The fuselage of the Skylark immediately threw away the "fishing net", changed the driving mode, turned on the maximum power, and made a big turn under the crew's longitudinal pressure to escape back to Earth......

However, behind them, only a few dozen kilometers away, a cloud of garbage that had been calm had already tumbled out like boiling water, and in the very center of the whirlpool, a huge behemoth rushed out of it, and the flight path of the Skylark was far away.

Zerg Hunters! One of the most terrifying high-level Zerg combat units known to man. The danger warning level 3 given by the PDC Strategic Planning Department, the reference level C for combat power evaluation, the body length is more than 300 meters, the width is more than 500 meters, there are three pairs of compound eyes, eight pairs of chelicera, and the attack method is the hot slurry flow attack from the mouth.

This species is a threat to all levels of human warships, and the most important feature of this Zerg called the Ranger is that its attack range is extremely long, and it is a rare ultra-long-range attack in the Zerg, and it is extremely powerful, and it can be called a heavy strategic bomber in the Zerg! Its hot slurry flow can easily fly thousands of kilometers in the atmosphere, although it is still not enough to penetrate the protection of the earth's atmosphere, but once it enters the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere, it is enough to destroy the human cities on the earth.

In space, apart from the super electromagnetic cannons loaded on heavy warships, there are few weapons that can pose a threat to them. However, it can easily destroy human warships from far away on the edge of the battlefield with its ultra-long-range range, so it was named Ranger by PDC.

Modern warfare, in the military, the combat effectiveness of a combat unit and its range can almost be directly equated, the progress of all human military science and technology has almost always been in the continuation of the range of weapons, the ranger has such an ultra-long-range range, plus it is also a good mobile surname, therefore, the ranger has always been one of the most threatening species to humans in the Zerg. Even for the Lunar Zerg Brood, the number of this species is actually not much, and it is often dispatched alone, with some low-level Zerg to attack, it is enough to make humans anxious, and it is definitely the backbone of the Zerg.

Now, with the Rangers in orbit around the Earth, there is no doubt that the Zerg attack is about to begin. As is customary, the Rangers' actions, like several previous battles, are the outposts of the Zerg in a strategic offensive campaign, clearing the eyes of humans in space!

The war is about to start again......

Liao Fan thought of so much in an instant, and while running for his life with his crew, he kept releasing missiles and drones to harass the terrible "followers" behind him, trying to block their tracking and positioning, and then, while running for their lives.

The Earth's PDC has done its best to build a strategic early warning system, and responded at the first time, although limited to capabilities, the PDC has not yet been able to extend its control to space, but on the Earth, after several years of war with the Zerg, PDC has created a relatively complete strategic system.

The first to react was the outermost secondary space station.

The so-called secondary stage of the secondary space station is relative to the space station in the orbit of the original geostationary satellite. Its orbit is often about hundreds of kilometers high according to the earth's surface, belonging to the bottom of the outer layer of the atmosphere, because there are still thin gases in the earth's atmosphere at this height, so the operation of the secondary space station requires a certain amount of power, which is very expensive compared to the space station in synchronous orbit. Fortunately, with advances in new material technology, humans have been able to harvest solar energy with much more advanced solar thin-film cells, allowing them to keep the secondary space station running even at the already harsh light intensity.

Nowadays, the earth's secondary space station is often based on communication and detection functions, which is the core pillar of the earth's global strategic early warning system, and almost all of humanity's most advanced space exploration instruments are now placed here.

The secondary space station is the first step in the geostrategic system. Then it was followed by the stratospheric Beidou system.

The Beidou system, which is still related to the Beidou system, the global communication and navigation system of Huaxia, is the main force that maintains the global communication system on the surface of the earth today, and can take into account the role of military combat. It is composed of thousands of giant hybrid airships suspended in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere, each weighing thousands of tons, fully intelligently controlled, capable of manned flights for a long time, mainly loaded with high-power electronic communication instruments, and the ground to cooperate for communication, if necessary, it can even be loaded with large attack weapons.

In this way, thousands of super airships are densely covered on the surface of the earth, alternately covered by the network, forming an impenetrable and dynamically combined network, which connects the data of the entire world on the one hand, and on the other hand, also combines the power of the earthlings together, and moves the whole body, so that they can concentrate all their strength to fight the enemy at any time.
