Chapter 38: The Battle of Star Worms (8)
Starworms belong to a very magical species in the universe - insect beasts. The star worm is very large, large enough to swallow planets, and if it is not scorched in high temperatures, it can even swallow stars, so it is called star worms. Each star insect society is composed of a queen worm and countless larvae, also known as the queen, mother worm, mother nest or mother, it is the core of the star worm society, and it is also the only thinking individual. It reproduces larvae indefinitely, and the larvae have no mind, but can have a wireless spiritual connection with the mother.
There are many kinds of larvae, the most significant is the male worm, the individual is huge, the adult male worm is tens of kilometers long, the large is thousands of kilometers, their function is to mate with the mother, do not have the ability to fight, usually attached to the mother's body, in the event of war, the mother will protect it at all costs. There are only a dozen males in each star insect society.
Soldier insects are the most important part of the Star Insect Society, and they are also the largest number of individuals, divided into two types, one will launch long-range energy attacks, and the other will be physical close impacts. The long-range soldiers are slightly larger, ranging from more than ten meters to one hundred meters, and the short-range soldiers are relatively small, only a few meters in size.
In addition to fighting, the soldier insect also serves as a worker insect and performs energy harvesting and other work. All insects in the Star Worm Society have a common characteristic, that is, they absorb oxygen, but they can survive in the same anaerobic and vacuum environments. Their diet is carbon and water, so they are carbon-based organisms. In this way, the earth will be their ideal "pasture".
There is still half an hour to go before the effective range, and 20,000 mosquito drones are densely packed in a cylindrical clockwise spiral flight only about ten kilometers behind Shuguang-2, and from a distance, it looks like a huge electric drill following the spacecraft. And the spacecraft itself is still being produced, and new drones are released from the tail to join the formation of electric drills behind.
Thirty scorpion destroyers escorted the ship. The shields all over the ship's perimeter are distributed locally, with the bow facing the enemy being the strongest and the weaker the farther back, so as to use the energy distribution together. In a head-to-head confrontation, the enemy will inevitably launch a dense fire strike with no dead angles and a dense sea of insects, and the bow of the ship will bear the brunt of the attack, so the shield of the bow part of the ship must be strengthened to the maximum.
Summer has been maintaining an "intensive scolding" with the star worm, and he is secretly proud in his heart, the star worm boss has been provoked, which is conducive to his next step.
At 17:10, twenty minutes before the confrontation, Diao Chan reported: "My lord, the amount of information on the other side's messages has begun to skyrocket. ”
"Leave it alone, just send the grass mud horse! Keep sending in large quantities. ”
"Yes, sir!"
Summer sat firmly on the throne of the commander-in-chief, seemingly calm on the surface, but excited inside, and the hands on the chair's deputy trembled slightly. Diao Chan noticed the subtle changes in him and couldn't help but look back at him, Xia nodded at her and said, "It's okay." ”
"General, a large number of enemy troops have been discovered!" "General, I have found something here!" The robot commanders began to report at the same time, and the data showed that a large number of larvae began to rush towards them.
"Turn off all data intake!" In the summer, a combat order was issued, "Fine-tuning of the ship's course: target X axis 0 cm, Y axis + 5 cm." All drones, Star Destroyers, spaceship artillery ready to attack! ”
The so-called target X-axis 0 cm, Y-axis +5 cm means: take the Dawn-2 spacecraft at the zero point of the three-dimensional coordinates as a reference, the flight straight line is the Z axis, and the target enemy is at a position of 5 cm directly above the Y axis, according to the distance calculation, calculate the starting point to the target enemy's straight line and the spacecraft flight straight line to form an angle, if the target enemy flies steadily and does not change the track, then the spacecraft and the target enemy will pass by at a distance of 100,000 kilometers.
At 17:25, a large number of larvae had already entered the shooting range, and Diao Chan asked, "My lord, do you need to attack?" ”
"Is the mother in range?"
"Not yet."
"Then don't rush, open the bow shield to the maximum, everyone fasten their seat belts, it will be very bumpy. Chief of Staff, turn off the gravitational system! ”
Diao Chan hesitated for a moment, but turned off the gravitational system. Without gravity, there was a sudden weightlessness in the spaceship, but fortunately everyone had fastened their seat belts beforehand, otherwise they would have floated one by one. A picture of the internal monitoring system shows that Xiao Anzi in the kitchen suddenly floated up, and he didn't know what was going on, waw wow yelled, and Summer glanced at the funny Xiao Anzi, but he couldn't laugh, because in a few minutes it was a life-and-death star war!
There was also a small mess in the eco-tank, where the chickens and chicken manure floated together in the chicken coop, and the water, soil, and fertilizer in the plant tank were floating everywhere. And in the summer living cabin, all kinds of daily necessities, the water in the pool, are floating. The entire spaceship was littered with all sorts of debris floating around.
"All the nanobots don't have to clean up the mess and have them all on standby in the weakest part of the ship's hull! Nanobots don't stop producing! ”
"Is there really no need to preemptively attack, my lord?" Diao Chan asked again uneasily.
"No, let the bow shield withstand the first wave of enemy attacks, and order all the poisonous scorpions to disperse!"
"Bang!" The first larva hit the bow shield, and the cosmic vacuum was silent in the first place, but the impact produced a vibration, and the vibration produced a sound transmitted into the ship by the shield, the hull, and the air inside the ship.
The first larva that hit the shield exploded and shattered due to the high-speed impact, and black flesh flew sideways. After that, sporadic larvae began to come into view, constantly hitting the bow of the ship at high speed.
All the robot commanders in the command cabin are very calm, they are robots, there are no human emotions, so they don't know to be afraid, Summer is the only human, he is scared in his heart, but forcibly calms down. Peeked at the hibernation pod, but fortunately, the hibernation pod was normal.
In the summer, the extravehicular spacesuit has long been changed, and the helmet will automatically close in the event of a broken air leak from the hull and provide oxygen.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Constantly the larvae hit the shield and exploded. The larvae in the field of vision are dense, endless, and boundless! They are not afraid of death, and without the slightest hesitation, they collide directly.
With each impact, a ripple of blue light spreads out at the point of impact, which is the reaction caused by the shield's energy consumption.
"Command the drone to spin at high speed!" Another order was given in the summer. Under his order, the drone drill formation dragged behind the spacecraft began to rotate at high speed with the Z-axis of the spacecraft as the axis. The drones were also densely packed behind them, and in addition to spinning at high speeds, they would occasionally shoot a laser shot at enemy larvae that had crossed the ship and came to the tail.
"Cheng Pu, are our electronic beetles ready?" A sly smile appeared at the corner of Summer's mouth.
"Lord Qiqi, you are ready to release at any time!"
