Chapter 448: From Space to the Ground
The ship-class Hellworm was like a heavy drop pod, piercing through the clouds and intercepting it, accompanied by a large number of destroyed wreckage of its kind, and landed on the surface of Keha.
Each ship-class is like a female cockroach dragging a bag of offspring, capable of emitting thousands of land-fighting hellworms.
After the transformation of the hybrid family of Hasta's incarnation, the species of Hell Worm are much reduced compared to the alien insects.
The jumping worm has been preserved and improved, like a miniature version of the hellish tyrannosaurus, with hideous bones and horns, and is called a velociraptor beast.
The Stinging Snake has also suffered a magic change, its size has not increased, but it is more corrosive, and it is covered in slime, slippery and twisted, and ordinary gun shells (machine guns) will deflect when shot on the body, which is called the Hell Saliva Monster.
These two hell bugs are the main force of the landing battle of the mixed species, just like the human interstellar marines, and they are the most numerous.
As the extreme of the shell favored by Sarnagar, the insect naturally has its own advantages.
They seem to specialize in the study of biological phyla, and the path is very narrow, but this is not the case.
Just as the technology of human civilization is a technological system represented by mechanical tools, biological phyla are only the characteristics of alien insects, and no civilization can climb to a very high level in a certain field on the basis of ignoring other natural sciences.
If we want to make progress, we must involve more and more extensive and in-depth natural sciences.
So in fact, from the perspective of the scientific and technological system, most human beings see that the alien insects are only one side, or even flat, and not three-dimensional enough.
As an interstellar civilization, as a predator across multiple large galaxies, the adaptability of the insect to various harsh environments has almost reached the extreme of biology.
For example, the Orthodox Alien Worm carries a large amount of nutrients in its nest worker bees, devours rocks and soil, and measures the composition of the atmosphere.
The purpose of this is to understand the most common chemical reactions on the planet.
Like the Earth and Earth-like planets, the most common chemical reactions, which basically occur above zero degrees and below 50 degrees, are mainly characterized by being rich in oxygen, liquid water, and abundant, which means that photosynthesis, various oxidation reactions, etc. are the most common.
Next, when the nest worker bees build the hatching pool, they will select the corresponding genes to create a system that is conducive to the use of these chemical reactions.
This is called adaptive utilization.
It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of humans, the appearance of alien insects is mostly flesh and blood, like aberrant atavistic beasts.
In fact, alien insects can have other appearances.
For example, in an atmospheric environment with a high content of methane and hydrogen, the appearance of the insect is likely to resemble the arthropods of the ocean, lobsters, crabs, sea horseshoe crabs, etc., but its shell is not chitin, but an alloy shell from which the metal is extracted from the ore.
That's right, it is Graybeard laid in a large area in Marsala in order to prevent insects from invading, the essence of that thing, is to realize the crystal iron with human technology, its smelting and processing technology is not more complex than crude steel, but in some areas of performance, such as corrosion resistance, chisel resistance, energy resistance, are much higher than crude steel.
The shape of the arthropod, born into a pair of alloy armor of the alien insect, the sprayed substance contains nitric acid, and the planet has a high methane content, the chemical reaction after the mixture of natural gas + nitric acid is an explosion, almost too much flamethrowing, resulting in a result that is very similar to the use of gasoline incendiary bombs in the earth's environment......
This is the alien insect, in any environment, there is a template to deal with, through adaptation and utilization, to ensure that there is always a strong fecundity, combat effectiveness.
It's just that most humans only live on living planets, so they rarely have the opportunity to experience the insects in the extremely harsh climate for them.
This is what Kane said about the different sides of the alien worm, and most humans only see part of it.
Kane's Predator Swarm is inspired by the swarm of the SC universe, dominating, absolutely centralizing, and dominating everything. Its will is the goal of the swarm. Although the second middle school is full of atmosphere, no one can deny that it is very good.
What's more, there is one of the most likable parts here, which is the almost erased interpersonal relationship.
Most people know that other people, who are also intelligent beings, are the most difficult to deal with, and they have never said once and for all, and they have to be very careful in their management.
It can be said that interpersonal relationships are one of the most energy-intensive items in life, and there is no one. And it can really do a good job, very rare.
Even those who are confident in this area have to admit that this science is so profound that it is even more difficult to do.
The swarm system basically wiped out this piece. With these intelligent but absolutely obedient assistants, it is equivalent to having the strength of the team, but not having to bear the main problems of the healthy development of the team, which is simply not too cool.
It was for this that Kane focused on building his hardcore team, and at one point spent a lot of energy to understand the alien insect swarm, and even pried the technical director Abbathhar into his team.
His iron-blooded insect swarm is also multifaceted, the drone system is, so is the Sigma werewolf, and of course it can also be like an alien worm, a hideous beast style. It's all about actual needs, including the needs of magical environments.
Hasta Avatar is a different way to play, and in a way, it has the characteristics that Kane has been striving for, solipsism.
Subtext: No matter what kind of universe it is, my divine system is open, and my old branch style is the main theme.
The adaptability may not be very good, but it is definitely not bad, and more importantly, an old creator like Hasta no longer needs to care about such details.
And this style of controlling the core and controlling the overall situation has also been inherited from its incarnation.
Then, in the absence of high-end subject support, it seems a bit big and inappropriate.
Like these Hell Worm systems, in the long run, they are not sharper than the original Alien Worm system, and their combat power has increased, but in terms of diversity, adaptability, and power consumption, they are not as good as the Alien Worm system.
Kane felt that this must have been one of the reasons why the Hasta avatar decided to make a quick decision.
It was a pity for Kane that he could take advantage of the shortcomings of Hasta's incarnation, and this wave of Hasta's incarnation was very clever in his play, and he occupied a strategic advantage in the process of confronting humans and star spirits.
Kane knew that as long as he could maintain it, the hybrid hellworm would be exposed to various problems and become weaker and weaker, but he had to face the opponent when he was at his strongest.
On the surface of the planet Keha, it is the Free Army of Mengsk who fights the Hellworms valiantly.
In fact, the core of these free armies is Graybeard.
Kane's constant command has transferred almost all of the old Greybeard to Mengsk.
In the name of the Origin Security Wing, these Greybeards were immediately integrated into the Freedom Army, which was already in the same vein.
In addition to the second-echelon combat units composed of ordinary people, there are also various special warfare T850 robots.
Among them, the nuclear warfare O-type T850 shined in the offensive and defensive battles of Keha.
The heavy grenades they use, and every grenade they shoot is a miniature nuclear bomb.
Equivalent to the explosive power of 3 tons of TNT explosives, this weapon is equivalent to suicide for the average Marine soldier, and the distance is too close.
However, the O-Type T850 has a special structure, which can withstand a shock wave and high temperature and heat that can shatter even the soldiers wearing power armor suits.
They are badly needed by the human side to break up the swarm of Hellworms.
Often under the dark clouds of lightning, the rain is pouring down, and the thick lightning illuminates the environment, and the captain of the ship-level hell worm for hundreds of meters, even if a third of it is poked in the earth, still has the demeanor of a skyscraper, or like a stone monument symbolizing death, a large number of hell worms open out of it, like torrents, and these torrents can form a terrible wave of destruction if they merge slightly.
At this time, the O-type T850 went up, and one by one the nuclear grenades were shot out, and while the light was shining, the diffusion of the shock wave was particularly clear in the rain, and it was devastating everywhere it passed.
In order to avoid being killed in large groups, the Hellworms had to disperse and then attack the free army that surrounded them.
The O-type T850 basically ends up being torn apart, and the range of the weapon determines that they have to go deep into the enemy group, and the end of the depth is to be surrounded and killed. All they need to do is fire as many nuclear grenades as possible.
This era is a time when every soldier can call in air strikes and precision artillery support.
It was Kane who opened up his production capacity in order to deal with a large number of alien insects, and used robots to fill the gap in the army, so that it seems that there are a lot of people on the human side.
It's still a routine of living people with robots, but there are more living people, and the robots that can be assigned are an average of 3 per person, subordinates, bodyguards, teammates, these robots are loyal and fearless, and they are good helpers.
In order to deal with the bad war, Kane also rolled out the remote control system in an all-round way.
During the Great Evacuation, it was not just a long long party, silly waiting to pass.
The party's people were able to leave for a short time, and most of the others were temporary shelters, and a significant number of them did what they could in a remote-controlled manner, including acting as second-line soldiers.
Most of the combatants are young people, even teenagers, who are more responsive, and most of them have the experience of playing virtual games, which can better connect with the control system.
In fact, almost everyone in this era has had the experience of playing virtual games, but the type of games they play tends to change as they get older, and the proportion of those who still play combat and confrontational games is smaller.
These second-line soldiers are basically active in stragglers or squad mode, and the large battlefield AI with optical quantum supercomputing as the core controls the overall situation and assigns tasks. They are tasked with identifying and reconfirming, rescuing, transporting, cleaning up, and so on.
From the very beginning, the war was not of the kind with clear fronts, but in full bloom.
The first-line troops focus on dealing with large-scale hell bugs, and those that infiltrate or scatter for various reasons rely on the second line.
Like some ship-class hellworms that were destroyed in the air, after all, the small ones were the size of Akbury-class destroyers, even if they were destroyed, there was still a high probability that there would still be surviving hellworms among the large pieces of wreckage that fell, and each of these hellworms had the cunning and ferocity of aliens and even more combat power than them, and if they were allowed to wreak havoc, the destructive power they caused was amazing.
At this time, the second-line troops will be given the relevant task to control the rudimentary magic modified armor suits to destroy these hell bugs.
Of course, it's not just the second-line troops, but also the elite combat groups of the Free Army, who are responsible for gnawing some difficult bones, powerful, or sizable, they will kill them, call for fire support, and then use tactics to destroy them.
From the moment the hybrid swarm completes the face riding and starts the hail airborne, the war enters the white heat.
Constellation-class warship groups, using refractory bombs and black hole shells are at the core of the swarm in an effort to reduce the hybrid cluster.
In the gravitational zone and high and low orbits of the planet, various sky mines and launchers are also doing their best to hinder the smooth descent of the ship-level hellworm.
In the atmosphere, the air fortress and the drone deal with the hell mantis while intercepting the high-speed airborne ship hell bug as much as possible.
The ground was already devastated in a very short time, and the torrential rain could not extinguish the flames of war, rain, fire, explosions, and death.
Against this backdrop, the Free Army tried its best to ensure the operation of the evacuation, and the missile vehicles deployed around the Leap Gate sprayed one missile after another from time to time, and the rate caught up with the Katyusha rockets.
After a wave, the energy shield was immediately opened to resist all kinds of debris falling from the sky, these things falling from the sky are often extremely destructive, and the city buildings are basically smashed into ruins by them.
In the shield, there are constantly people shouting with loudspeakers to regulate the flow of people, and there are also special personnel patrolling to deal with mental breakdowns and troubles due to various reasons as soon as possible.
More people waited at the shelter to be summoned, and once notified, it was often the people in several cabins who began to act as instructed, checked, put on wristbands, and then went to line up at the nearby gateway.
In this process, there is naturally no shortage of tragic dramas and farces, once a family member is identified and cannot pass, it basically means that there is more luck and less luck, and it is inevitable to cry and cry when it is to be separated forever.
This is not an occasion, but a probability of about 3%, which is quite high, so that the group atmosphere is very depressing.
But the escape of obedience to the arrangement is still the main theme.
Because Kane cruelly chose the mode of advertising the truth to admonish.
People have the opportunity to see the not-so-distant images of war through the wall video.
Including the unfortunate breach of the temporary shelter and the killing of the hell bugs.
There is always bad luck, the ship-level hellworm poked directly into the shelter, and as soon as the hatch opened, the land combat hellworm pounced, and the monitoring equipment in the shelter became a recorder of the cruel truth.
