CHAPTER XXIV
"It's boring!" Fils looked at the battle in front of him, a little unmotivated.
"Hehe, isn't that good, ten against eight, no battle damage, no matter what, this is a complete victory!" Relaxed, Alex didn't stop Fils's nagging in the crew channel.
The process of encircling and suppressing the remaining five Napasa was, as Fils said, very boring, and no longer as amazing and glamorous as Qin Lun and Frank had shown before. The eight Guise pilots with tacit tactical cooperation were different from Qin Lun, and the net woven by particle beams completely limited the range of Napaza's evasion, and they were finally strangled by the two teams of soldiers one by one.
"Hehe, Chief Qin Lun has always said that he has no tactical talent, in my opinion, it is difficult for him to be familiar with it in a short period of time except for tactical formations, and the air combat tactics of squad size are not bad!" Vera was not encouraged by Qin Lun in the channel.
"yes!" Hearing Vera's words, Alex's heart couldn't help but move.
After the Guise flight officer and the apostles formed a five-man crew, the apostles thought that they were not good at air combat tactics, and basically handed over the command to the Guise people, even Qin Lun was no exception. But judging from today's battle, the apostle is not without tactical command ability, but does not know much about crew formation tactics.
Now, judging from actual combat, it seems that our side has a considerable misunderstanding in this respect. In the past, the Guise flying squad did not have particularly outstanding combat power, so in air combat, it was necessary to rely on overall formation tactics, and individual heroism would lead to huge losses.
However, with the addition of the apostles, the situation is different. The Apostle himself has a super personal ability, and the tactical coordination formed by this goes beyond the previous model and seems to be closer to the combat tactics of the Apostle's team.
While Alex was thinking, the last Napasa was also killed by Qin Lun and Frank, and the soldiers of the two flew towards this side with dark green juice all over their bodies, which immediately made him come to his senses and beckoned to a few companions: "The two chiefs are back, let's go back!" Merry, Fils, go back with the remains of several Napaza heads intact. ”
"Merry, what are you doing with this thing? Is it going to be handed over to Faith for research? Seeing Mei Li pulling the corpses of the two Napasas, Qin Lun couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Sir, this is a necessary mechanism to fight the Zerg!" Alex explained in the channel with a smile.
It turns out that since the Guise people have obtained biochemical technology from the Zerg and the Hismail, they have developed scientific and technological means to extract residual information from the brains of corpses. This method is ineffective against the Jannamer and the Hismail, who are mostly spirits, but it is effective against the Zerg.
The Zerg have a clear hierarchy, high and low intelligence, and at the same time they are the social system of the clan population. Most of the low-level soldiers like Napaza have the intelligence of children as young as seven or eight years old, ensuring absolute obedience to the worm mother.
However, because of this, most of the information in the brains of these zergs is not too complex, and it is easy to stimulate it with scientific and technological means, and then get its memory picture. Suffice it to say, with these Napasa corpses, the Attack's reconnaissance work this time was at a minimum.
"The Attack is mainly used as a reconnaissance type, and there is equipment on it to extract residual information from brain waves. If we can get information about the Zerg base from these Napasas, then the mission assigned by Captain Marquez will be completed. ”
After the battle, Alex was completely relaxed and in an excellent mood.
"That old fox ......" Qin Lun scolded with a smile, Captain Marquez really didn't think about letting them go directly into the X-352 planet with an independent battleship, he naturally knew that he would encounter Zerg patrols on the periphery of the galaxy, and the specific job of the Attack was actually just to catch a few "tongues".
……
Because this battle was the first actual combat of the apostles since the encounter in the exercise, Alex and the others carried out multi-angle battlefield photography, except for the scene where Qin Lun attacked alone due to the long distance, the encirclement and suppression process was still very clear, which was of guiding significance for their future squad battles.
The Apostles and the other Guise Pilots gathered to comment on the battle imagery, mostly in praise of the two sortie squads.
"Captain Robin, the sampling results of the science and technology team are out, the Zerg sample submitted by the Alex team is very complete, we have obtained the geomorphological projection of the X-352 planet, and the situation of the Zerg base!"
Before everyone could finish watching the battle video, Dongyue entered the war room from the outside and happily handed Robin a projection chip.
Robin paused the battle video and played the projection information extracted by the technology team to the big screen, and a blue primordial planet suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The planet, numbered X-352 by the Guise people, was indeed a life star, as expected. The projection is very clear, this is a beautiful planet.
Blue sky, white clouds, lush vegetation growing on the surface, and some low-level native animals running through the jungle. However, judging from their expressions, most of them were panicked after seeing the Zerg.
The most impressive thing in the projection is the huge lakes that dot the dense jungle and are as clean and clear as sapphires.
According to the analysis data obtained by Dongyue in the science and technology group, the planet is probably in the Cretaceous stage of the earth. Most of the vegetation on the surface is relatively simple, with fern-like trees and thorns. The original animals that dominate the planet are not vertebrate reptiles, but invertebrate arthropods.
"No wonder the Zerg have their eye on this planet, invertebrate arthropods are their close relatives, this planet should be very suitable for the reproduction of the Zerg!" Dongyue pointed to the projection screen and commented.
"What about the Zerg base? Why haven't you seen the Zerg base yet? Poppy asked, a little anxious.
"Don't worry, the next one is!" Robin smiled and swapped a projection, revealing another image on the screen that was completely different from the surface of the earth.
"It's ...... Seabed? The Zerg have built their base at the bottom of the sea! The apostles were amazed when they looked at the image of the blue seabed.
In this projection, in addition to those arthropods and planktonic underwater creatures with strange and diverse shapes, everyone saw a behemoth with a hideous appearance. It resembles a giant conch, but it has numerous spikes and protruding, curved horns.
The comparison of the memory images extracted from the body of this napasa shows that the Zerg sappers, who are tens of meters long, are like ants in front of the conch, going in and out of the holes outside the conch's body. Apparently this is a typical Zerg base, or an immigrant city that first developed the planet X-352.
"That's all there is to Napasa." Dongyue turned off the projection and said with a cautious face.
"The information that Planet X-352 has a Zerg base has been conclusive. But in addition to the known Zerg bases, we don't know if there are other Zerg bases. My advice is to leave the field immediately, send the information back to Faith, and let Captain Márquez decide what to do next. ”
Hearing Dongyue's words, the other Guise flight officers in the war room generally agreed. As an independent warship, the reconnaissance mission of the Attack is successfully completed at this point, and even if Captain Marquez is here, it is impossible to ask them to do better.
It is a bit unrealistic to go deeper into the X-352 planetary reconnaissance, and with the scale of this Zerg base, the Attack will be very difficult to deal with. It is difficult to distinguish between a civilian type and a military type from the appearance of the Zerg base.
In fact, there is only one difference between civilian bases and military types, and that is the number of war bugs. Most of the civilian Zerg bases are dominated by engineers, and the Attack can barely fight against them. If it is a military type, then there must be a large number of giant insects in the air, and the Attack can only flee for its life.
What's more, it is difficult to judge whether there are other Zerg bases from the few memory pictures. If there really are other Zerg bases, and the Attack breaks into the planet's atmosphere, it will be no different from stabbing a hornet's nest.
However, Robin and the other apostles were quite silent at this time, and each sat upright in his chair and frowned. The apostles have their own style of doing things, but whether it is an apostle who is accustomed to team fighting, or a lone traveler like Qin Lun who prefers to go his own way, they all have one thing in common, that is, their initiative and aggression when carrying out world tasks.
Of course, the Shattered Stars sent the Apostles into the mission world, most of the time to explore the historical plot and plunder the origin of the world. The apostles often needed to change the course of the history of the original world, and their tasks were not to be accomplished in a step-by-step manner.
The apostles who carry out the tasks step by step will definitely not become professionals, and they will have long been eliminated by the broken starry sky. Regardless of whether the professional apostles are high or low, they need to explore the task by themselves and make a real move at the right time, so that they can make a breakthrough in the mission.
Robin glanced at Qin Lun, telepathically, and asked with some hesitation, "Qin Lun, what do you think?" ”
Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he replied quietly: "We are different from the Gis people, they can be suspicious about whether there are Zerg generals on planet X-352, but with the help of the guidance mission, we have already confirmed this, and going back like this is equivalent to a trip for nothing."
In addition, Captain Márquez had worked with the Apostles before, and he should have been able to confirm that there was a Zerg base on Planet X-352 and sent the Attack over to test us in disguise. If we go back now, we will definitely lose points in the old fox's heart, and we will only be able to get by under his arrangement in the future. ”
"But is it too risky to enter the atmosphere with just one Attack and fifty soldiers?" Robin nodded slowly and asked cautiously.
Qin Lun looked at Robin's beautiful face and sighed secretly in his heart.
Now he kind of understands why Robin's Su zhì is why he used to be lost and arranged a Kelly on the rookie team. This beautiful head is good at everything, her wit and combat power are not bad, but she is too indecisive, no wonder Kelly will arrange for herself to come over this time.
"The main quest given by the Shattered Starry Sky every time is often unpredictable, and it must be multi-directional exploratory. The Apostle can choose his faction and even the mission route according to his own ideas. However, in the guidance mission, because it is extremely close to the point of time and space in the world we entered, the advance calculation of the starry sky generally does not have a large deviation. ”
Qin Lun thought about the way of narration for a moment, and said seriously, "Judging from our current guidance mission and difficulty, I don't think the Zerg base on planet X-352 will be very strong, and it may even be just an empty shell on the surface. Based on the calculations of the starry sky, it is likely that we can solve it on our team of inspectors alone, not to mention that there are still fifty soldiers and an attack number to rely on......"
In fact, there was no need for Qin Lun to explain, Robin also understood this, but now he felt relieved in his heart, and suddenly showed a firm smile.
"Captain's order, move on! The main cannon of the Attack is warmed up, and it is scheduled to attack at a fixed point in the atmosphere after three star hours. Ladies and gentlemen, the battle to determine the ownership of X-352 will start with the Attack, let's work together! ”
