Chapter 400: Guardian of Marsala
As a commander, Kane knew that he had no choice but to go, his wandering industrial fleet had not yet taken shape, the resource reserves were not enough, and the production line was not enough.
And Graybeard's set, to say that, the production concept of this system is actually very old-fashioned, not the type of exponential growth, star-swallowing production, it really can't compare to the old branch incarnation.
The accumulation of months is not comparable to the production capacity of others in one day, this is the gap.
This was actually one of the main reasons for his request for an emergency evacuation.
Decisive victory in the temple, this battle has not yet been fought, he has already lost, and the rest is nothing more than a dignified departure, or a beaten headbag, puzzled and tragic here by the opponent's BO (biochemical organism weapon) tide overwhelmed.
The second reason for the emergency evacuation was that the insects had once again arrived in this star field, a large fleet of more than 1,000 Leviathans.
At that moment, all the people who saw the leap of the Leviathan fleet from the video subconsciously held their breath.
It's a lot, and the Sara system is a little crowded because of it.
But if you think about it, this is just the tip of the iceberg of the alien insect, the total number of troops is less than 1 billion, and the standing strength of the alien insect is 15 billion......
The Constellation-class battleship, with a total length of nearly 1,000 meters, is equivalent to three Ford-class aircraft carriers facing each other head to tail, and the tonnage is 5 times that of the Ford-class aircraft carrier.
Launched on July 22, 2017, the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier cost $13 billion and had a displacement of 112,000 tons, making it the largest and most advanced military ship in service at that time.
The grandeur and enormity of the Constellation class can be imagined from this, although one of the special ships of the Behemoth class, the Hyperion, is also about this size, but the appearance of the Constellation class is more traditional and more ship-immersive.
Such a space giant ship that is enough to be sighed by the humans of the origin world as an industrial wonder, Graybeard built twelve of them, and within two months, they were built from scratch, and became a good story for a while.
Then ten times more than this size of the super ship, the insects drove 1000+ at a time.
Does humanity have such a big ship?
Yes, enterprise-level mining spaceships, with a transport capacity of up to 30 million tons at a time, are built during the great development of the Federation.
Nowadays, there is no such Big Mac, just like the tonnage of nuclear bombs in the origin world is gradually going from large to small, which often this control is gradually getting better, and it is no longer necessary to win by quantity.
This time, we have encountered a win by quantity.
Alien insects.
Now that the situation is very clear, the insects cooperate with the incarnation of the old branch, at least there is a detachment, as for their specific purpose, there is no need to go into detail, anyway, the humans in the Sara system will be unlucky.
The war began from the moment the Leviathan Grand Fleet appeared.
This time, the Insect Fleet did not appear near Josala, but near Marsala.
Once the jump is complete, the offensive begins.
The giant's strategy is to use a combination of tactics, with one force breaking directly into the interior of the planet, one attacking the facilities in orbit around the planet, and one swooping down on Marsala's satellite, in addition to the red pupil occupied by Graybeard, there is another satellite, the blue pupil. It is one of the two moons of Marsala.
"Activate the deathmatch plan and go all out. Kane said as he entered the activation code.
The AI lieutenant is authorized, and the deathmatch plan is activated.
The sound of a terrible siren resounded throughout the city of Fort Sanctuary, and except for those who were still in the process of emergency evacuation, the rest of those who were not eligible to evacuate for the time being were asked to return home immediately and carry out the emergency plan.
Some people can't help but mess around, and what awaits them is the muzzle of the black hole of the biological man.
"According to the relevant laws of the Northern Democratic Federation, you who sign the agreement are obliged to implement the emergency bill, and if you violate the order, you will be killed on the spot, and you have 5 seconds to decide, 5, 4, 3 ......"
People return to their building-style residences, smart collars prompt, and take medications for a limited time.
These buildings were built with concealed emergency elevators, not for passengers, but for goods, and civilian power armor would arrive when suitable.
Greybeard sells arms to the outside world, but he has not forgotten the urgent needs of the people under his rule.
It's just that these orange-red power armor with self-emitting P (people) letters on the shoulders and chest is not so much to protect people as to let them use their residual heat as much as possible.
In the words of Kane who once talked to Liberty about this: "From the perspective of crisis deduction, it is not cost-effective to equip the people with power armor. ”
"You should know that the surveillance equipment we have at our disposal is not bad, and in general, either Graybeard has enough time to gather forces and clear the enemy, or there is enough time to evacuate the refugees. Only when they are surrounded by a surprise attack by an enemy who is far beyond their strength will they be so busy that they can't even protect the people under their rule. ”
"And once that happens, do you think you have the ability to save yourself by relying on the people themselves?"
If this was said by a federal officer, Liberty would sneer back: "Get rid of it, you two, your professional ability may not be better than that of the militia, the master is in the people, and the people will indeed sacrifice a lot, but I believe that a considerable part of them can complete self-salvation." ”
But in the face of Greybeard, led by Kane, Liberty couldn't say that. Graybeard has proven time and time again that they are pretty much the best of the human race.
His leisure hobby is to exercise and improve his professional ability, and after the start of the war, he is calm and heroic, resolute and intelligent. This is the top human GI, there is no one. Liberty is sure that a Graybeard team can slaughter ten ordinary Federation teams.
Well, the enemy that such a team can't stop, the people, hehe......
"Therefore, equipping the people with power armor is to maximize the value of each individual, even if it is only for a few more seconds. ”
Of course, this is only the worst of arguments, and Kane is not content to simply turn his people into tin cans, making them more difficult to turn on.
In fact, he completed the militia training program for the whole people through the smart collar.
This program is started after people go to sleep, three hours a day, and at the same time, only the collar also has a physiological regulator function, so that people can have better sleep quality.
In other words, Kane achieved the purpose of training by exploiting the total rest time of the people under his rule, and cured some anxiety and insomnia patients along the way.
In fact, the relevant technology has long been mature, and the first thing that restricts its effective application is the economic problem, and the federal government is unwilling to provide this kind of service, not only because of low profits, but also because such operations will affect the market consumption index, and then in detail, it will block the financial path of some people.
Kane is not so unscrupulous, or in other words, his dictatorial management + automated production system + sole proprietorship operation + low-profit operation = ultra-low cost, ultra-fast market development.
By landing in the virtual community to complete the militia training, almost every citizen has shown his or her strengths, instead of all of them being the big soldiers.
Soon after returning home to take the medicine, there will be a need for excretion, and this medicine is meant to do this, because civilian power armor has no fart plugs and urinary catheters, only a simple sewage discharge.
Regular Marine Corps power armor has fart plugs and urinary catheters, and perennial fighters like Graybeard have special jacks on their bodies similar to those of the Matrix Battery Man in {The Matrix}.
Some of these jacks are connected to nerves, some are used to protect internal organs, and some are used to inject drugs, once they enter the power armor, the whole body will be inserted, metabolism, endocrine and everything will be taken over.
Therefore, there is never a problem such as feces and urine at a critical moment.
The population is also being asked to have similar safeguards, which are less stringent.
With the people in their respective positions, the deathmatch plan is officially launched.
As if they were trained to do so, the populace enters the virtual world, then enters their respective locations and begins to control the units they are familiar with.
Many people have already guessed that the usual training to earn points is to compete with the insects at the moment, and in fact, it is true.
Every member of the population is a commander, and at worst a squad leader, leading a group to fight, and these team members are not living people, but equipment.
Among these civil science commanders, the most enthusiastic are the 14-20-year-old secondary two, and those under the age of 14 have been sent away, and Kane doesn't think that age is suitable for participating in this program, which is considered from the overall proportion, and individual geniuses and demons are not counted.
The most combative ones are often 24-35 years old, and the second year is hot-blooded, but the thinking is not mature enough, and the hot-blooded brain is easy to make mistakes, while 24-35 basically has adult thinking, has a certain amount of experience and experience, and is more thoughtful in thinking, and at the same time there is no lack of passion for doing things.
With the rapid development of the deathmatch plan, the first to discover the anomaly was the space-based station under the rule of the non-Northern Alliance.
Humans in this era are popular to play celestial modification. Find a few valuable meteorites and transport them back to the planet to mine, and after mining, the interior is almost built, just like the Fort Sanctuary mine.
Then it becomes a space-based station, an artificial satellite, and a transit station for space ships to dock and replenish, and its positioning is similar to that of a motel in the origin world.
It's just that because of the space pirates, these space base stations are all armed to a certain extent.
Now, the managers of various space-based stations find themselves suddenly losing control of their own acres and threes of land. They were robbed.
The robbers are all biological people transformed by Kane, they are like those secret agents in {Spy Shadow}, usually playing their own roles in life, obscure, once activated, they immediately become Jason Bourne, through cooperation, quickly and effectively control each node, and then completely take control of the space-based station.
And that's not even the most exaggerated part.
The most exaggerated thing is that these biological people have completed the delivery of the folding guidance equipment after a long period of operation.
Now that they are in control of the space-based station, they are next to assembling the equipment, and then the work of delivering the equipment and personnel from the ground through the fold jump begins.
The people of Fort Sanctuary also officially took the stage at this moment.
As mentioned earlier, in militia training, there is not only one type of Marine Corps soldier. And it's not just combatants, it's also battlefield maintenance workers.
In the past, this role has always been played by SCV pilots, especially the frontier SCV drivers of the original historical line, and many of their heroic performances on the battlefield are not inferior to those of the Marine Corps, and the importance is no different.
The human bunker that impresses the insects and the star spirits can only become famous if it is maintained by the brave SCV, otherwise it may not survive the destruction.
Kane refined this role, like a car tong riveting and welding, and launched emergency operations at the space-based station.
At the same time, the Red Pupil took the lead in revealing its hideousness, 5 million orbital quantum cannons, 10 hours can deliver 1/10,000 of the total mass of the entire Red Pupil Star.
These quantum cannons are all of the Earth cannon level, moving through a network of orbits on the surface of the Red Pupil Star.
The entire Red Pupil Star, like Cybertron in camouflage, at least on its surface, has basically completed the metal fortressization.
After the artillery array is assembled, start firing, this kind of strike is an area saturation strike, and it does not pay much attention to the individual hit rate, it is only necessary to put the ammunition into the established position, and each artillery can do its own thing, and you can create a dead zone.
This technology is not available to the humans in the Kooplu Star Zone, and it is not yet known whether it will be used on the other side of the earth, this is a traditional tactic, and it is a typical representative tactic in the era when artillery is called the god of war.
What is multi-riveting? What is a billion-dollar turret, billions of glory, that's it. There are 5 million doors in one red pupil star alone. And that's not even counting the Marsala set-ups.
These quantum cannons are all Earth cannon level, the Federation people call it a high-orbit defense weapon, and the Insect Giant Spore Cannon is also this type of weapon, directly striking targets in orbit around the planet from the ground.
Millions of stars erupted from their red pupils with faint tails of light, and the remote-controlled fuse caused them to explode in unison at the right time, a wave of explosions equivalent to the explosive yield of 2 billion tons of TNT.
There is no air in space, and one of the most powerful ways to strike a nuclear explosion, the shock wave, is greatly reduced in power due to the lack of a transmission medium, but it doesn't matter, take the number.
That's what you're looking for.
The explosion created an irregular super fireball, brighter than the sun, and the sudden appearance of the sun could be seen on the ground of Marsala, through the severe haze, even though it only existed for a short time.
"Oh God!" many viewers subconsciously exclaimed. Even people in this era have to say that Graybeard's gameplay is really scary.
"It's crazy! It's already an astronomical way to strike. ”
"This is crazier than the Federation's 1,000 Apocalypse bombardment Kehadu, right? Thankfully Greybeard is not a terrorist!"
It's like rubbing a super rag of light on a roll of space, and a wave of blows is a nuclear explosion with a yield of 2 billion tons. The sun is on, and there is generally no life in that airspace to survive.
The insects soon found that the forces attacking the Red Pupil Star were reduced, and as more quantum artillery movements were in place, the power of the area saturation strike was further strengthened, and now their choice was to either be greatly dispersed, or several times the current force rushed over, or they all had to die on the way to the charge.
Faced with this terrifying Marsala Guard, the Insects finally chose to unleash their ranged strike power. The Leviathan fleet moved into combat positions, adjusting to their status, and then the giant spore cannons on board opened fire.
The specific way of firing reminded Kane of the scene when the guns of the ships bombarded each other in the Age of Discovery.
The multi-layered shelling of the deck was not uniform when the guns were fired, but the overall effect was quite fierce, one after another, and the spore shells were sprayed non-stop.
It's as if the plasma is mixed with countless strange fragments, and when it flies, it creates a striking cannonball. Like a meteorite meteorite that has begun to burn, it gathers into a river and rushes towards the Red Pupil Star. The scene is equally grandiose and spectacular.
But compared to the reaction of the red pupil star, it is still a little less tasteful.
More than 1.5 million interceptor missiles were launched at one time on the side of the Red Pupil Star, and the warheads of these missiles were the situation of submunitions, they split and exploded, forming a super barrage hundreds of kilometers wide and thousands of kilometers long in space, at that moment, it seemed that a rainbow of light was drawn by the gods in space, and all the spore shells that passed through this rainbow were more or less affected.
Immediately after that, passing through this rainbow, the spore cannonballs were basically out of shape. In the end, the Red Pupil Star's multi-layered energy barrier easily caught the residual damage.
At this time, all those who participated in the battle and watched the battle saw that the Red Pupil Star was not a space ship dock at all, but a satellite fortress armed to the teeth.
At this moment, the Red Pupil Star showed its fangs, just now it was a move, and now it has changed to the Red Pupil Star to make a move, and as soon as it starts, it will be enlarged, 5000 super focused light spears.
A trembling beam of light, from the ground of Marsala, looked like a whip of the gods composed of countless optical fibers suddenly appeared in the sky.
With this whip, a third of the ships of the Leviathan fleet were crushed. This is also because of the planetary angle problem, if it is directly exposed to the red pupil's field of vision, the Leviathan Fleet may have to follow in the footsteps of the previous pioneer Leviathan fleet.
174 billion kilowatts X12, focusing on the magic needle light spear, for this kind of super laser with a total power of more than 2 trillion kilowatts, there is no better way for the insect to kneel and call the uncle, its power does not need too many words to describe, to restrain this power, it must also be of the same power, or you can try to dodge?
In fact, that is impossible, 5,000 divine needle beams irradiate and cut for a long time, although Kan Bing has not been able to get the technology of energy interlacing between the light spears without being affected, but even if they are in charge, the efficiency of sweeping and cutting far exceeds the mobility of the ship.
Just as the insect was frustrated again, and its nose and face were swollen despite being beaten despite having a large army, the old branch avatar moved, and it sprayed a large amount of material into space, accelerating clockwise, and advancing towards Marsala along a revolving trajectory......
