Bugs that can attack from a distance?

If you want to ask, why for hundreds of years, although the Starry Sky Zerg has often entered the Canglan system, the rebels have only relied on Jiang Kai Type 3 patrol ships to be as stable as Mount Tai?

Actually, there are two reasons for this.

First, the mounds are too large, and although there are a large number of short-lived, or permanent, safe passages in the Nebula of Death, most of them cannot be passed.

Therefore, for a long time, only occasionally some war insects that have left the clan have come to the Canglan system by chance.

Not to mention the small number, the key is that without the command of the mother worm, its reaction is also quite sluggish, and it does not have much combat effectiveness.

Second, in fact, it is also a continuation of the first point, because they are only war insects, and they only have a combat method of hand-to-hand combat, which is naturally very disadvantageous in the face of long-range attacks by human technological weapons.

Moreover, even the old Jiang Kai III patrol ship can ensure that its speed is faster than those war bugs.

In other words, as long as you use the tactics of kite flying, you can beat these war insects to a losing temper.

But now the situation is different.

The last mounds invasion proved that in addition to the human routes in and out of the Death Nebula, there were also enough routes for mounds to pass.

Although I don't know where this route is, and I don't know how big enough worm mounds this route can pass, but after all, there is such a route.

That means that insect mounds invasion is likely to become the norm in the future.

And if you add this new bug at the moment, and it is likely to have long-range attack capabilities...

Then, all the advantages of human beings over the insect mounds will be completely wiped out.

It can even be said that bugs with long-range attack capabilities are ten times more threatening than insect mounds, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Imagine thousands of Zerg, while attacking you from a distance...

This kind of firepower is probably comparable to a full fleet.

Although he didn't know what the attack power was, Luo Hao definitely didn't want to try it.

"Captain, Qian Duoduo's team and Ye Yunzhou's team have already sent their targets to the cargo ship and all of them have boarded the ship!"

"Notify the cargo ship to evacuate at maximum speed, the Fuxing will follow, and the Wuluo will carry out the rear!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Radar officer, the support of the Starry Sky Zerg, how far away are we?"

"7300, at the current rate, contact in about 5 minutes, plus..."

"What else?"

"In addition, due to the slow speed of the cargo ship, we, as the queen of the palace, can only retreat at the second battle speed..."

Hearing this, Luo Hao was also slightly stunned, but quickly reacted.

"Calculate right now, if we retreat at the second speed, how long will those bugs catch up with us?"

"About 78 minutes, Captain!"

78 minutes...

Luo Hao was silent.

After all, it would take about ten hours to get through this passage and enter the place where you can jump.

But now, it only takes more than an hour to be overtaken, which obviously can't hold up to the jump point.

What to do?

Abandon the cargo ship and the loot, transfer all the personnel to the Wuluo and Fuxing, and then evacuate at full speed?

It's not that you can't, it's just...

Although it was not possible to collect all the corpses of the war insects just now due to time problems, some of them were collected, not to mention the complete corpses of the two female insects.

If you abandon these, won't your mission this time be in vain?

But if you don't abandon it, once you are caught up by those bugs, it will also be a huge trouble, and it may even cause the end of all three ships to fall.

Contradictory, too contradictory.

"Captain, can you let me take command?"

Just when Luo Hao was about to compromise, give up the loot and lead everyone to evacuate, Jiang Xingchen on the side spoke.

"Xingchen, do you have a way?"

"There are some ideas that you can try, and even if it doesn't work, you can do it the way the captain wants, but if it works..."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you!"

Luo Hao didn't hesitate for too long, then nodded in agreement.

He knew very well that he couldn't think of any way, so he would hand it over to Jiang Xingchen, maybe there would really be some miracles?

Even if it doesn't work, there is still enough time to move people and evacuate.

"Weapons officer, how many cold fusion missiles do we have on our ship?"

"Eight in total, first mate!"

"Well, all ready to launch!"

"It's... Ah, all? ”

"Yes, don't you understand my orders?"

"Yes, First Mate!"

Although thirty cold fusion bombs had been used before, those were only carried extra for this operation, and they were not standard on the Wuluo.

As for the Wuluo, in the standard configuration, the missile silo is equipped with eight cold nuclear fusion missiles.

This is, this thing is used as a hole card, but Jiang Xingchen plans to launch it all at once, so it's no wonder that the weapon officer will be surprised.

And it was not only the weapons officer who was surprised, Luo Hao also looked at Jiang Xingchen with some puzzlement.

"Xingchen, what do you want to do?"

"Collapse, artificially in the passage, create a space collapse!"

"You're trying to take advantage of spatial turbulence?"

Hearing this, Luo Hao's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of shock.

Indeed, there have been theories before, as long as a sufficiently strong burst of energy is instantaneous, it is enough to tear through space and artificially create a short-term spatial turbulence phenomenon.

But after all, this is only a theory, no one has really tried it, and the most important thing, even in theory, wants to achieve such an effect...

Nor does it require more energy than a cold fusion bomb can achieve...

It's not going to work...

"Captain, I know, you think that the cold fusion missile, although it is very powerful, still can't reach this level, right?"

"That's right, Xingchen, you're wasting your time, it's impossible!"

"No, it's normally impossible, but Captain, we're not in normal space right now..."

Not a normal space?

The Death Nebula...

Space turbulence...

Could it be...

"Xingchen, are you sure you can make it?"

After being reminded, Luo Hao finally reacted to what Jiang Xingchen was referring to.

Although there is a possibility...

But Luo Hao still believes that this possibility is very low.

"Captain, don't worry, I've already calculated, the feasibility is more than eighty percent, it's worth a try!"

"Taking a step back, even if it fails, according to the original captain's idea, he can immediately transfer people and abandon the cargo ship, as for the waste of eight cold fusion missiles, I will bear it alone!"

Jiang Xingchen said confidently.

It's just that when he heard these words in Luo Hao's ears, he was a little reluctant.

"What do you mean by taking it all in?"

"Am I the captain, okay?"

"You don't have to worry to do it boldly, it's really a failure, it's also up to me, and it's not your turn to be a little rabbit cub who is less than twenty years old!"

Although Luo Hao said loudly and seemed to be angry, Jiang Xingchen knew that he was protecting himself, and he was still very moved in his heart.

"Don't worry, Captain, I'll make it!"

"Weapons officer, are you ready?"
