Chapter 445: Money is never enough to spend
The first of the two most populous stars of the Federation is naturally the capital city of Tasanis, with about 7.3 billion people.
In second place is Keha, less than 6.1 billion.
Among the top five planets in terms of population, one has been wiped out, and very few have escaped with their lives.
The Federation has been hiding from the public, and although the grapevine has gone viral, the official has not spoken, and many people are still willing to be ostriches, believing that those people are still alive.
Until Kane brutally made the situation public, and even aerial photography obtained by unmanned reconnaissance ships, all the towns and cities of the city, and the inhabitant strongholds, had become ghost ruins, and the scene of being slaughtered by insects was quite different from being baptized by artillery fire, for example, if you were careful enough, it was easy to distinguish a large number of human corpses.
Because even if there is no need for sacrifice, the hellworms are very accustomed to driving their prey together, and then gathering to eat, and after that, of course, there are mountains of corpses, and that kind of scene is enough to make people crazy.
In addition to the corpses, the moth-washed towns will have a large number of fungus blankets, as well as all kinds of twisted creeping creatures, which resemble branches, rattans, thorns, and nodules, and their strange posture can be called a hunt.
In addition, there are a large number of corrosion marks, which are caused by strong acids from later, which are pitted and blackened.
A large area of fungus carpet is scattered, and it can also change the climate, the sky will appear to be a fast dirty cloud, and a beam of sunlight will be dappled on the ground, changing from time to time, making the whole city look gloomy, but it is not the kind of complete dead silence, but has a unique pulsating law and horror.
Kane always felt that the truth was the best propaganda film.
In the face of such propaganda, I can still be indifferent, Kane said that I also have a temper, and if I can't afford to wait, I won't wait, get out of here, and fend for myself.
There really is, and they also incite others to join in.
Kane chose to be appeased and connived, and he said maliciously: "The human bloodline in the Koplu Star Region is very complex, and there is no shortage of stupid comparisons and comic comparisons, taking this opportunity to eliminate this kind of person is conducive to the evolution of the human race in the future." ”
On June 12, 2500, the evacuation of Tasanis and Keha reached its peak.
The offensive of the hybrid cluster has also reached unprecedented intensity.
In the previous encounters, the hybrid group fully realized the combat effectiveness of the Constellation-class warship group and adopted a full-scale breakthrough mode.
The specific method is to accumulate as many hybrid clusters as possible in place through 48 hours of coordinated mobilization, and then jump into the vicinity of the two living planets in a short period of time, ignoring the interception of the Constellation-class battleship group, and rush into the atmosphere to win.
To be able to do this, hybrids have three prerequisites.
The first is the abundance of them.
The hybrids were created by the Hasta avatar before entering Marsala and numbered in the tens of thousands.
Each of these clusters of fat-like tentacles has the potential to become a hybrid cluster.
The Worm suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of the Sara System.
According to rough estimates, each Leviathan carries 1 million alien insects of various types, and 100 Leviathans are 100 million. The bulk of the loss of the alien insects was to fight with the humans during the offensive and defensive battles of Marsala, and frantically dropped the alien insects against the divine needle strikes of the Constellation-class battleships.
The vast majority of the worms that were eventually released died from the firestorms that ignited the air around the world, and there were very few Leviathans left.
It was a Leviathan of thousands of heads, and when the battle was over, the wounded but surviving ones were no more than two hundred. That's it, the insect side got the final right to clean up the battlefield.
The total loss of the entire Sara system, including the losses on the Josara, is about 800 million (actually 1 billion, and the rest are basically used as mixed feed). This is about 6% of the total.
Although the reproduction rate of the alien worm is much higher than that of humans, it also has a cycle, and in the six months since the battle of the Sara system, the huge base (14 billion) has allowed the alien to replenish 250 million new ones.
This number is not much for the insects, and their main body is still in a state of long-distance voyage, which is not conducive to reproduction.
If they can stay in a certain sector for a longer period of time and spread their nests in full swing, the peak reproduction rate is 10 times the efficiency of this supplement.
But there are some difficulties here.
For example, Leviathan takes a long time from conception to adulthood, about 2 years, while a king-level Leviathan like the Leviathan, the former Queen of Blades, takes 7-10 years to complete its complete transformation.
The Insect Juggernaut was cautious when he first approached the Hasta avatar.
The Juggernaut knew very well that Hasta was a Creator-level being, and he didn't dare to drive the Grand Fleet straight over, but threw stones to ask for directions.
This is also an important reason why history has been changed beyond recognition by Kane, the-stirring stick, but the insects have been delayed.
The real Alien main force was in place after the Battle of Josara.
In the process of capturing the brain worm in the Leviathan's wreckage, the star spirit leaked the coordinates of the star by Aldaris.
This situation does not seem to have much impact in the new situation that has changed beyond recognition.
Not really.
This is an important reason why the Insect Master was fully tied to the Hasta Avatar Chariot.
After obtaining the coordinates of the El, the forced operation planted by the Worm Juggernaut by Aeon will be activated, and the Worm must go to the El as soon as possible.
In this way, the Insect Juggernaut will not be able to continue to negotiate with the Hasta avatar.
It must bear fruit in a short period of time.
The process of the continuous growth of the later hybrid clusters is also the process of the continuous arrival of the main force of the alien insects.
According to the calculation that each Leviathan represents 1 million dings, 15 billion is 15,000 Leviathans. The Battle of the Sara System minus 1,000 heads, and later bred another 250 heads, and then shaved off the 1,500 heads that are still dominated by the insects, and which are still dominated by the insects, and have some characteristics of the old, young, sick and disabled (queen troops, material gathering troops, new groups, a small number of regulars), accounting for about 10% of the total, and 12,700 Leviathans absorbed by the Hasta avatar.
There are tens of thousands of hybrids spawned by Hasta's incarnation, and hybrids want to become a cluster, absorbing as few as 3-5 Leviathans and as many as 10-15 Leviathans.
Obviously, 12,700 is not enough, in fact, counting other factors, the total number of mixed clusters is 1,140, which is the total number of all clusters that have been formed in the past six months.
After the Star Spirit and the humans formed an alliance and started the Anti-Invasion War, the number was reduced to less than 1000.
In response to the new situation, mixed clusters began to form larger groups, as if from a group army to a front army.
The first battle of the unmanned mechanical fleet, the Yuroko near-star offensive and defensive battle, faced a very typical front army. The total number of hybrid hellbugs is calculated in billions, which means that it is equivalent to at least 100 Leviathans.
The 900+ mixed species cluster, the power represented is naturally extremely terrifying.
Especially as the situation further evolved, Hasta incarnated as a hybrid dependents who did not have the domination of the huge Hell Worm to occupy the newly captured strategic nodes, while those with the Hell Bug soldiers almost poured out, forming a super force larger than the front army.
Tasannis, Keha, is facing such an enemy.
The second premise for hybrid aliens to be able to advance in all directions is the control of strategic nodes.
This is tantamount to controlling the transportation network, not only having the best routes for gathering, but also making it impossible for the human side to know the movement of troops in advance and effectively interdict them.
Otherwise, there is only a chance to interrupt the jump by detecting the energy anomaly in the area space, and even if the final result is only lag, the hybrid cluster will have to spend more time waiting for the units to be in place if they want to play a full-scale attack.
The third is that the hybrid alien worm has fully completed the enslavement transformation that is darker than the alien worm, and all the hell worms, including the brain worm, tend to be tools rather than intelligent creatures. In order to carry out such an order of action at any cost, and carry out a desperate charge.
Star spirits and alien insects represent the ultimate spirit and flesh that are favored by Sarnagar in this era of reincarnation.
Insect recipes are extensive, including but not limited to organic matter. Their digestive systems are also very different from those of the common beasts that people know.
Suffice it to say, if they just relied on the normal beast-level digestive system, then they would all starve to death. Their physical metabolism is too large.
If it is a carnivore, how large is the herd of cattle and sheep that needs to be driven by the interstellar voyage of 15 billion alien insects?
Therefore, there is no necessary food chain relationship between alien insects and humans.
Under the premise of taking the star spirit as the main goal, the over-investment and ultra-low return on the trading of alien insects are also unwilling to do it, human flesh is not a smooth and incomparably delicious delicacy, and alien insects are not foodie empires.
It's all because of the Hasta incarnation, whose super ritual requires enough soul power to inherit Hasta's legacy from a distant foreign land, from the incarnation to the full body.
And only intelligent beings with rich emotions such as human beings can extract enough soul power. The root cause is that the emotional thinking that Kane has always had in mind takes precedence over rational thinking.
Harness the spiritual power of transcendent power, and the spiritual power of the sensual direction is more of a priority.
At the time of the Great War, Kane himself was still in Monlis, and the situation here was simpler and more complicated than that of Hill and Titanium.
The simple place is that there are not so many deep mysteries, that is, they are occupied by the Star Spirit Tadarin Clan, and one of the artifact fragments is in their hands.
This is where the complication lies, as Tasada, on behalf of the Star Spirits, pleads with Kane to talk to Tadarin, preferably to prompt them to take the initiative to hand over the artifact fragments.
Kane was naturally not optimistic about this negotiation, he felt that he knew better than the Star Spirits about the urine nature of the Tadarin.
But this face cannot be withheld, because the star spirit expresses its willingness to do its best to help humanity through the difficult time.
Ever since the Insect Lord and Hasta had become a traitor, the dark clouds that had hung over the Star Spirit's head had dissipated at least halfway.
Clear-eyed people can see through the specific actions of the hybrid that their main purpose is to raid the star field where the human race is located. At least at this stage, it is.
In such a situation, a big reason for the star spirit to fight is the prodding of the Sarnagar Divine Envoy.
However, with the hybrid swarm showing great combat power, and the return of the Purifier causing the Star Spirits to question the past history, the Star Spirits have at least lost the motivation to intervene.
The star spirits also understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, but many star spirits are now questioning, is the concept of human beings worthy of the 'lips'? The performance of the previous alliance is simply a negative teaching material in the textbook, and it has played very little positive role.
Moreover, the members of the Supreme Council that rule over the Star Spirit are not some interstellar communist fighters with noble sentiments, but a group of black-bellied old oilmen, who let their people fill the black pit with their lives for the survival of mankind without sufficient reasons, this kind of thing will not be done by a qualified leader.
This is also an important reason why Kane has never accused the Star Spirit of being unrighteous and withdrawing his hand in the middle of the battle.
He's not shameless enough to play two sets of standards. What's more, what kind of heart and mentality he was at the beginning, I still remember it now, he plans to destroy the alien insects and star spirits together, but he needs time for the development of the drone system, so he needs to postpone the war backwards, otherwise according to the original historical line, the human race will be 70% wiped out by the alien insects.
As a result, to some extent, he played it himself.
More Creators have entered the field, although they do not have the advantage of his information prophet, but they have a stronger foundation.
To make such a situation now, and to blame the star spirit for not making a difference, that is really too shameless.
As for the star spirits, they mainly fancy Kane Zhao, including the Purifier 7, and after several rounds of consultations, they all unified their views: among the known gods, Kane is the least suspicious.
If they knew that Kane had planned to destroy the Star Spirits, they didn't know how they would have felt.
However, the Spirits don't know, and they can't make judgments based on what others think, but based on what the other person does.
So what did Kane do? Starting from the deal between the Star Spirit and Graybeard, they found that Kane was the least foolish, the most willing to do dry goods, the most contractual, and would also fulfill the duty of protecting allies (the performance of Operation Artifact Shard) in the process of cooperation.
Also, Kane is also the only god that the Star Spirits have ever come into close contact with.
According to Tasada's feedback, the Purifier 7 and the High Council analyzed that Kane should have no major plans for the Star Spirit.
This is the basis for further interaction.
There is also the Sarnagar artifact, although the star spirits do not know its specific function, but they instinctively feel that it is not trivial.
After all these calculations, they are willing to send troops to help mankind under the banner of the doctrine of Kara's way of helping the needy, as well as shouting the slogan of resisting the invasion and defending their homeland.
