Chapter 384: Deep Space Collision
The hundreds of thousands of heavy air combat units sent by the Alien side showed resoluteness.
Leviathan withdrew, destroyed and destroyed, they still advanced in the direction of Jossala as planned, and did not waver.
It is precisely because of this that Leon Fox came to the conclusion that the alien worm still has a brain worm in command.
To be honest, whether the insects came to join in the fun this time, whether it was aimed at the star spirits and humans, or the incarnation of the old branch, this is not sure, after all, there is no communication to confirm.
Kane is not pleasing to the eye when he sees insects, and he must see a knife.
Tasada didn't have any luck, he didn't necessarily believe all the things about the origin of the star spirits and the alien insects, but as a fleet commander, after seeing the alien insects appear, the first thing to send in was the overwhelming ships or heavy fighter units, and he had the right to treat it as if it was against the Golden Fleet.
So this collision has been inevitable since the appearance of the alien insects.
The insect did not have a slow-moving guardian this time, so that the Golden Fleet took the lead in firing, and the most popular strike method on the Star Spirit side was plasma cannons, like the interceptors of aircraft carriers, which used plasma cannons, reconnaissance planes were photon shock cannons, and Phoenix fighters were ion cannons.
To sum it up, it's all high-energy energy, either a bunch or a lump.
So from God's point of view, the Golden Fleet erupted with millions of bright lights, which was brilliant.
Just looking at this wave of attacks, it is like sweeping rain and hail, which is powerful and spectacular. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of air combat regiments of insects, it is not enough.
The Devourer and the Corruptor are heavy units that are comparable in size to Medi Boats.
The hospital boat is modified on the basis of the transport aircraft, and the standard pod used is the same size as that used by the transport aircraft, except that the medical boat is a special pod that can be operated on inside, while the transport aircraft can be loaded with two main battle tanks.
From this, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Devourers and the Corrupters are torpedo boats in space.
Hundreds of thousands of such speedboats, maintaining a certain distance from each other, occupy a huge airspace. If these insects are like a cloud of locusts, then the blow of the Golden Fleet is a collection of water dragons launched by dozens of fire trucks.
The deadly rain of light submerged into the swarm of insects, and suddenly the flesh and blood flew sideways, and from a distance, it was as if cold water had been poured on the hot ash, and the entire area was a large mixture of ashes and mist.
Thousands of insects died from the blow.
However, the Spirits were not very happy with this result.
These insects were much more solid than they expected, and they thought that if this wave of saturation strikes continued, even if they couldn't kill more than 10,000, it would be about the same, but the actual result was only one-tenth of what they expected.
And the insects basically didn't take a trick, although the strike of the gold fleet was super range, but the hit rate still exceeded 60%.
It's not hard to imagine, after all, it's a wide-ranging saturation strike, and the density of the insects is enough to make such a blow reap.
That's why the Astral Spirits have high expectations.
However, it turns out that the insects are not as stupid as they think, and there is a reason for the dense formation. As it is now, the Worm took this wave of damage instead of being cleared of a worm-free belt, which means that from a tactical point of view, there is no chance for the Worm to break through the front.
The goal of the Stars is to break through, like heavy cavalry, to carve a passage through the Worm's array, so that carrier-based aircraft and other units can strike at the Worm's flank, and more importantly, to protect the ship in position and strike at the Leviathan wreckage in the rear.
Now is the time to beat the water dogs, and the star spirits are very similar to completely annihilate these millions of insects in this star field.
This battle, which was later called the Battle of Josa Moon Orbit, can be said to have just started the second half at this time.
Tasada, the executive officer of the Star Spirit side, was still persevering on the Holy Mother Ship, and used the core of the Holy Mother's Ship, the Kedarin Crystal Matrix, to transform and focus the majestic energy and bombard Josara.
The Golden Fleet, commanded by Aldaris at this time, could not use several powerful tactics due to the lack of the Madonna, so the tactics of the Golden Fleet tended to be conservative, and it was very common to advance in a straight line.
One wave of blows failed to chisel through the insect array, followed by a second wave, a third wave.
The insects also seem to have seen the intentions of the Golden Fleet, and they have adopted a four-flank outflanking tactic. That is, in addition to the left and right wings, there are also upper and lower wings.
To put it more in detail, it is to exchange the arc route for a powerful angle of attack.
The elevation and depression strike capabilities of the Golden Fleet are not very strong, especially during the breakthrough process, which means that the possibility of the four wings of the insect attacking, like four sharp knives, is very likely to be inserted diagonally into the Golden Fleet.
For this reason, the insects sacrificed the frontal troops that were beaten by the Golden Fleet, this tactic is really not new, but it is also very simple and operable.
Due to the high-speed advance of both sides, after the four waves of strikes by the Golden Fleet, the two sides were short-handed, and a large number of reconnaissance planes, pirate planes and Phoenix fighters were sent from the Golden Fleet.
Alien insects are devourers and corrupters, both of which are actually extremely terrifying, and the corrosive acid they spit out is more powerful than the alien acid blood of the alien universe. What's more, there are also spores that can grow in these acids, which are like barnacles that are easily visible on the bottom of a sea ship, clinging to the hull and hull with a tightness comparable to welding, and continue to eat, causing additional damage that is higher than the corrosion damage.
The dogfight soon began, and the Phoenix fighters and reconnaissance planes, which were not superior in speed and firepower, were their nightmares.
Acid destroys energy shields almost all at once, while corrosive spores degrade performance across the board, including the structural strength of the aircraft.
From the outside, the hit fighter plane seemed to be entangled in a sticky cloud of miserable green smoke, which was actually generated by continuous corrosion and decomposition. This decomposition is at the molecular level.
Although Xingling has widely used high-density alloys in materials science, and the coating material technology is also extremely advanced. However, the corrosive acid and spores of the alien insects can still cause strong damage to them.
And if it's on the human side......
Leon Fawkes' Ares Star Marine has tasted the power of corrosion on its ships.
Lyon showed full swing characteristics in this battle.
His fleet is a mix of old and old, having previously clashed with Kane, and was killed by several new Behemoth-class warcruisers in one go, even the fleet's flagship and fleet commander Vincent.
Interstellar Marine Divisions like this are not unique in the Federation, they are basically two commanders, due to the Continental Armyism, the division commander is the main position, and the fleet commander is the deputy position, but in fact, many of them play their own roles. Ares' situation is good, after all, Leon Fox has a good father.
The personnel on the moving ship that Leon could command began to advance at this time, using the only three remaining behemoth-class ships to make a short leap and rush to the outer edge of the Leviathan cemetery in one fell swoop.
This is a typical decapitation tactic that uses itself as a special combat team and wants to take advantage of the illness to die.
To say that there is nothing wrong with this idea, let alone boldness, it is enough to evaluate the wealth and danger. The only question is, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, to what extent has the intelligence work been achieved, and dare to be so prodigal?
As Kane told Tasada, the life force of the insect is extremely tenacious. Even if you haven't heard of the saying that 'hundred-legged insects die but don't stiffen', you should always know the saying that cockroaches die on the rotten street, right?
The Eleviathan was huge, and it was not exploded, so even if it was a corpse, there was room for manipulation.
The interior of the Leviathan can accommodate multiple units of nests, and other functional facilities such as split pools and evolution rooms are often fully equipped or even have backups.
Within 5 minutes of being dismantled, some areas had already started to save themselves.
This kind of self-help is similar to the closed injection in modern medicine, and the pattern and anesthesia treatment of the first part. Then, the rapidly growing cell tissue is used to grow the conjunctiva like a wound healing.
After that, the mutated larvae and worker bees are used to organically fuse with the cyst shell, frame, and organs of this part of the Leviathan.
The end result is as if an ordinary person has a deformed ultra-stomach pouch. Although he didn't live long, he had all the organs and could work hard again.
What's more, play with the suture operation.
The gases and substances that are emitted from the interior of the Leviathan do not have the push-off divergence effect caused by the explosion or shock wave, so they float in space like a large cloud of dust.
This kind of area, for the insects, is equivalent to the poor soil that allows plants to survive. Yes, there are some things that can be done.
This is where the suture fusion is used, where the edges of the Leviathan are cut into a zigzag shape, and the two parts are bitten.
This jagged bite is tighter than a flat butt. This is mainly done for the close bridging of the carapace and the solidity of the structure.
Chitin-like carapace, its cell activity is far from comparable to that of ordinary flesh and blood tissue, its activity is too low, and it grows very slowly, even slower than bone growth.
Against this background, the need for a serrated bite is high.
And the completion of this splicing often means that more functional areas are reactivated, and a large number of insects and materials can be reused.
Leon also noticed this, and he became more and more convinced that the brain worm existed, and that it was somewhere.
Leon also knew that at this time, there were probably still many living insects in Leviathan's corpse, and it was too dangerous to search aimlessly.
Fortunately, he has something to rely on.
Following the Spectral Launcher, the Federation developed the Spectral Detector in a relatively short period of time.
This is actually the result of the reverse deduction of the principle of the ghost emitter.
Another important point is that human science and technology research and development are heavily stimulated, war is a stimulus, and money is also a stimulus.
The Fox family is very rich, and the small circle of purple badges led by it controls a lot of wealth.
After making a deal with Kane, the founding family made a multiplier investment in the research related to the insects.
In the words of one person: "Currency depreciation will come anyway, and investing in research in this area now is tantamount to grasping the key to opening the door to new wealth in advance." ”
There is nothing wrong with this statement, and related research, whether it is used to strengthen the combat power against alien insects, or to develop new organic materials, or to make progress in biology, genetics, etc., is equivalent to more wealth.
This is also an important reason why Leon is playing tug-of-war with the insects in Josara, he has a mission, weapon testing, and experimental data collection, which is in full swing under his rule.
Even the federal military felt that it was good to have such a controllable, local window of engagement, to practice tactics, understand the enemy, temper officers and soldiers, and test weapons.
Some other people in the small circle of no longer the Purple Badge, such as the founding family represented by Lin Yaohui, the commander of Miao's squadron, were also enthusiastic about this, so they played a similar trick in Marsala.
However, Marsala had a gray beard, and due to his performance, the gang had to invest in the victims, and so there were other groups in the North.
If there is not such a reference for comparison, those powerful people are not willing to spend hundreds of millions of yuan on a remote planet that is destined to be destroyed. It can even be said that Marsala is a little messy, and the water is mixed a little, which is actually more conducive to their operation, human trafficking, live operation or something.
This is the shame of powerful people, compatriots, they don't care, they only look at whether it is beneficial to themselves.
This has been the case since the age of the earth, how many innocent people are killed every day in Africa, and those who are capable, but who has the ability to say, 'the greater the power, the greater the responsibility'?
In today's era, the relationship between water and boats is becoming more and more alienated, relying on technology, those boats have become floating on the water one by two, and if you want to overturn these boats, you have to be stormy.
