Chapter 395: It's Hard to Go Alone
One of the biggest suspense left after the Battle of Josara was whether the insects were coming for humans or astral spirits, or for the old branch incarnation.
This question was answered in less than 30 hours.
The heavy Insect air combat units that eventually 'watched' Joshara were entertained by the old incarnate tentacles.
At one point, Kane wondered if the tentacles would swing like whips and whip ships or something.
But what happened later proved that he seemed to be overthinking. On the scale of the planet, it is extremely uneconomical to want to wield these tentacles into the effect of whipping, not to mention anything else, just the power consumed.
And now it seems that the old branch incarnation is used as a hose similar to air refueling. It is used to 'ignite' alien insects.
Came all the way here, just for this?
And in response to what happened in the past, it doesn't make sense.
There are also insects on Josara, which feel like they were driven out of the underground nest by the old incarnation, and now they are all in flames.
"Could it be that something big has happened inside the worm?"
The change that Kane guessed naturally refers to god-level competition.
In the past, Sarnagar, Orus, and Emmon were very good, tossing and turning in the SC universe, and they were spreading life in a wide area, and they were infinite reincarnation, and some felt that this routine was very boring, and planned to end it and open a new model.
But now with foreign gods, everything is different.
From an unconventional point of view, when a foreign monk who can recite sutras arrives, it will appear that the local aborigines are not fashionable enough.
To be more specific, the Insect Master, who is unwilling to follow the trajectory predetermined by Emmon to die, has more options.
Leaving aside the details of how to connect with the incarnation of the old branch, in terms of possibility, it is indeed possible for the old rulers to help the ruler solve the problem, after all, they also have the habit of developing clans.
And if that's the truth......
Again, the power in his hands always seems insufficient relative to what he wants.
The strength is always not as fast as the exponential growth of desire-hope, resulting in the troubles of the poor and the melancholy of the rich, just like he is now, in just a few months, he has built a glass slag fleet, which has amazed countless people, but he can still only watch the old branch incarnate play 'pointing'.
Observing the information transmitted by the device, the whole process was clearly realized, and those alien insects that were already considered to be secondary evolutions were injected with energy, cocooned again, and began to conceive for the third time.
There are hundreds of tentacles of the old branch incarnation, and with the active cooperation of the alien insects, the ignition efficiency is still very high.
"Order, the fleet strikes with all its might. ”
Kane had just entered the Hercules-class transport ship from the drying rack when he gave such an order.
He's not like politicians and the like, who think 'why don't you wait, maybe we can sit down and talk?'
There's nothing to talk about, take 10,000 steps back and talk about it, even if you want to talk about it, you have to do it first. may be weak, but the spirit of the bright sword can't be without, otherwise it will be a piece of fat in the eyes of others, nothing more than how to cut it.
After escorting the refugees to Marsala, the Slag Fleet went to Marsala's satellite Red Pupil Space Station to rest.
The red pupil is the name given to the people of Marsala, and it can refract the sun's rays like the moon, and from Marsala, it is red.
Kane has also admired it more than once, it is not as big as the moon, and the light is relatively dim. In good weather, the moonlight can shine on the earth like frost and snow, but the red pupil never has such a beautiful moment, it can only add a little bit of brownish red to the earthy yellow Marsala that is sand all year round, and it can't cause tides, Marsala has no ocean at all.
Prior to the establishment of the Northern Democratic Alliance, Kane had managed local relations, including good interaction with the garrison at Backwater Base and Miu's squadron.
Without the harassment of the military, those administrators sent by the Federation, he is not a bird at all, and the officials who are sent to such places are equivalent to exile, how much say can they have?
So the originally half-scrapped Red Pupil Space Station was essentially surnamed Zhao and began to operate in half black and white. Graybeard's profits from catching up with the deformed prosperity of space logistics in the past six months have basically been smashed here.
For ordinary transport ships, the standards in all aspects can be relaxed. Battleships can't, from materials to equipment, they must be first-class and cutting-edge. After all, there is a need to fire light spears, and a small difference will affect the shooting accuracy, and the most taboo is sudden failure, which will greatly increase the amount of real-time calculation.
Even, in order to reduce the amount of calculations, when firing, the personnel on the ship were kept in a static state as much as possible.
Now this fleet, which will not land from life to death, strikes again, and after the movement is in place, it bombards those cocoons that are conceived with the free fire of light spears.
Doing so is actually tantamount to saying that the donkey skills are already exhausted, but there is no way, and the current situation is not suitable for the firethrower to go in and burn. Kane even wondered if the Spitfire would be able to cremate it cleanly or simply explode it as it had done before.
The concept of a divine creature casts a shadow over the event. With its protection, the relative fragility of the insect can be improved a lot.
Many people also paid attention to this battle known as 'target shooting', and the official mouthpiece of the Federation once jokingly called it "a new toy, it will be repeatedly displayed".
Although the facts soon slapped people loudly and loudly to tell people how stupid it is to say this, who is not thick-skinned and bulletproof in media broadcasting?
What, you say you can't do it? Do you have a conscience? Yes, you go down, others go up, and there are more people who want to show their faces in front of hundreds of millions of viewers every day, and there is really no shortage of living people with two legs.
Shooting targets is just like that, high-energy beam irradiation, people in the origin world may feel fresh, after all, the computer special effects of the Star Wars series, may not be as good as this, the constellation-class battleship keeps firing, each time the illumination time is up to a few seconds, this kind of blockbuster scene is also quite dazzling, it is rare to be able to watch it once.
But for human beings in this era, similar to this kind of lens has been numb, not to see too much, but after 'skating', smoking does not solve the problem, the virtual world of this era, the audio-visual effect has been done to the extreme, like this kind of war scene, in addition to the authenticity, compared with the war scene of the virtual world, it is not a little worse.
And authenticity, for many people, hundreds of light years apart, even if it is true, it is not much different from fake. When it doesn't involve itself, it always feels very distant.
The adjutant had already told him the answer, killing is not as fast as living.
Although there are twelve Constellation-class warships, each with twelve light spears (which can be superfocused into divine needles), the total number of light spears of 144 seems to be not much worse than the old incarnation.
But in fact, the incarnation of the old branch did not sit still, and the new style of gestation was successfully slapped in the face.
In the biological world, fish or certain insects will arrange their eggs on aquatic plants, not in a pile, but in one or more columns along the blades of grass.
The old branch avatar is now playing a similar trick.
Its tentacles are thick enough to be measured in kilometers, but these tentacles are like the trunks and branches of a tree to give birth to more tentacles, and the gestation begins like a long bunch of grapes.
Not only a slap in the face, but also despair.
That's the advantage of energy throughput per unit time.
This change inevitably sparked an uproar.
Kane was calm, and he ordered: "Keep the previous way of striking and concentrate on knocking out those 'pointed' units." ”
He has the advantage of information and knows that there is a difference between a dotted pregnancy and an ovulation-like pregnancy.
The former is more threatening, and can be killed by the light spear, which is completely the ultra-high-energy focus of the Draken laser drill rig, and has reached a level of breaking through the mundane, just like his positioning as a plastic energy mage, the only reason why one sword can break ten thousand spells is that the energy intensity is not high enough and not concentrated enough.
It is useless to use the light spear to fight the ordinary dependents, but it is just right to deal with these divine creatures that have been transformed, and they deserve to be taken care of by the light spear.
Kane, on the other hand, rushed to Marsala to request a comprehensive count.
He believes that the countdown to the full evacuation of refugees from Marsala has begun, so he wants to know clearly the data related to all aspects of the escape, such as whether there are enough ships, whether there are enough food, medicines, and even oxygen.
After all, Josala's refugees joined in, and Kane never expected humanitarian help to arrive in time. This means that the ship has to not only pull people, but also load.
Self-sufficiency is also to eliminate some problems.
For example, if the Federation or some forces threaten the needs of refugees and ask Graybeard to do this and that, how will Graybeard choose?
If you don't do it well, the reputation you have won before will be lost. It's hard to build, but it's much easier to destroy. Therefore, the possibility of falling into such difficult choices should be avoided as much as possible.
The AI lieutenant quickly handed in the statistical report.
According to statistics, the production of ships, which is mainly based on shipbuilding, will have to continue for another week before the problem can be basically solved.
A week? Time is so tight now that it's measured in hours.
And Kane knows very well that the data given by the adjutant does not exist for everyone to work harder and work more shifts to get the task out.
The main labor force in this era is not humans, but machines, and it has been working 24 hours a day, with no room for full load, how to increase the volume?
"Help me contact Donald at Sara International. ”
Donald replied quickly, with a professional smile on his face, which was not annoying because of the pull of his facial muscles.
But none of this is of any use, and as soon as it comes to business, Kane knows that it will not turn out well.
In the end, he took the initiative to interrupt: "I'll think about it again and contact you later." ”
There's no turning back. Kane was well aware that behind Sara International (one of the Southern Democratic Federations), who had also run a sanctuary, stood the founding family who did not deal with the 'Purple Badge'.
It's not that these people can't cooperate, but in the context that the other party doesn't go to fame after selling their reputation, it is not easy to satisfy their appetite, especially the business that takes the initiative to come to the door, and if you don't take a few bites, you will be ashamed of their true colors. As for morality or something, it's ridiculous to talk to them about that, no matter what.
In Kane's previous life, this kind of person was not uncommon in the mission world.
Of course, the specific method is not to lynch and torture, which is not enough to relieve hatred, but to create a situation that needs morality but has no way to ask for help, so that they can also experience what it means to be full of people, no one is willing to help, countless money, but because it can't be cashed out for a while, it is useless, and they can only watch themselves and the people they care about die in pain.
To put it simply, Kane gave these people retribution, God doesn't give it, I will give it.
However, there were always times in the second period of secondary school, when this kind of person was killed endlessly, and it was impossible for him to focus all his energy on competing with this kind of person.
Unwilling to accept blackmail, Kane took down Mila Han's side again, hoping that Mila Han would be a little more disciplined.
But Milla Han didn't. This pirate queen, who was in the original historical line, seized Colonel Oran, the top hacker in the Koplu Star District, refused to hand over the person on the grounds that "our mercenaries are the most reputable, and Renault entrusted them to me to detain at the beginning, as long as Renault says a word, I will release them immediately" (Renault was locked up in a mobile prison by Monsk at that time, and Horner and others wanted to use Oran's ability to obtain the navigation route of the mobile prison and rescue Renault, and Mira knew this).
Prince Valerian Monsk also asked Horner if he could get some friendship.
Horner said that in the Dead Man's Harbor, he didn't talk about this, only about fists.
In addition to fists, you can also talk about interests.
It's a pity that Mira Han doesn't accept crystals, let alone federal credit currency. In her words: "You got high-value news before, bought a bunch of rag transport ships and made a lot of money, and you got a big high-roller, and your own manufacturing industry quickly started from scratch, and now it is even more at the top, Josara Star Field has shown its muscles, you want to be profitable, you want to be famous, and now many people are calling for you to turn to the rightful official." I'm so jealous, don't try to mess me with ordinary trading items!"
Kane knew that Mira Han was not only red-eyed, but also because Graybeard had his own industrial system, and although the scale was still poor, the grade was more high-end than Mila Han's. As a result, the Pirate Queen was unbalanced, and the other was a sense of competition, and the efficiency and expansion of Graybeard's industrial system frightened her.
Against this backdrop, Mira Han refuses to help Greybeard, either directly or indirectly, unless there is something particularly appealing to him.
This is actually the disadvantage of developing to a certain height, especially if you don't play with everyone (generally refers to cross-shareholding, restraining each other), and eating alone, you will naturally be excluded.
It's not that Kane doesn't understand this, but now is different from the past, and he refuses to endure it in every way he did in the dark HP world.
