Chapter 163: Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers
"Guard One, the target is in the upper left direction of eleven o'clock, fire!"
"Guard 2, at two o'clock in the lower right, there are a large number of unknown targets approaching, take precautions in advance!"
"The transport boat is in the center, pay attention to the enemy in front of you!"
"Brothers, kill, don't be stingy with ammunition, give Lao Tzu a hard beating!"
……
The hysterical roar of filial piety sounded one after another in the command room of the Sea Locust bridge.
Meng Lei, who was wearing a straight captain's uniform, crouched in front of the sonar display.
At this moment, his face was slightly hideous, his eyes were staring at the three-dimensional projection in front of him, and then according to the ever-changing abnormal point information in his line of sight, he quickly and accurately issued orders one by one.
And as his battle order was issued, in the endless deep ocean, guns and cannons suddenly rang out.
The scarlet laser flashed frequently, like a deadly dawn tearing through the void, and corpses were strewn everywhere in its path, and blood stained the field.
One after another, the electromagnetic cannonballs wrapped in supercavitation, with the volatilization of the tracer, dragged up a series of dazzling tangible projectiles, like meteors piercing the dark curtain of the universe, shooting vertically and horizontally in the dark.
Six submarines of the long-voyage fleet, a total of thirty main guns fired in a salvo!
The dazzling ballistic tracer and the dense bubbles rising up filled the surrounding dark sea like fireworks.
The firepower of nearly 100 shells per second, combined with the scattering attack of the laser cannon, frantically impacted the alien sea monster race that was densely gathered around it, setting off a large area of dirty blood surging on the ground.
As far as the eye can see, in the dark water, a large number of sea monster corpses are suspended out of thin air.
Blood and flesh are mixed and mixed, and they are wantonly scattered under the agitation of the ocean currents, covering the sky, and the scene is extremely tragic!
This cold ocean that has been silent for many years finally ushered in a rare boiling on this day.
It is now the third day that the expeditionary fleet has left the waters near the G43 beacon station.
Combat scenes like this have been common in the past two days.
Under normal circumstances, the fleet is always in a safe lane, and theoretically it is almost impossible to encounter a large-scale sea monster attack.
The deep-sea fleet, consisting of five F-class exploration boats and one E-class transport boat, is not as strong as the alliance's professional combat forces, but it is also a force to be reckoned with.
The average small sea monster race does not dare to provoke easily at all, and whoever dares to come forward is purely idle for a long time.
However, perhaps as Roger judged.
This time, the speed of the spatial tidal burst was far faster than expected, faster than ever before.
On the second day after Meng Lei and his party solved the thalamus crisis and set sail again, the fleet encountered a large number of uninvited guests.
In the originally calm and normal safe passage, many sea monster groups have inexplicably emerged.
These sea monsters include the more common gray algae crawlers, as well as the mire swift dragons.
There are also many crested monsters and deep-sea worms that are used to living alone, and they have also changed their habits and sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
No one knew where the sea monsters came from, and in a tunnel of rock formations, with no trace of cave structures around them, they appeared as if out of thin air, entrenched in the middle of the channel, blocking the way.
Moreover, these sea monsters are also extremely aggressive.
Whenever the presence of the fleet is discovered, it will immediately attack at the first time, and gather in groups.
During these two days, the expeditionary fleet experienced dozens of battles, large and small.
On average, every two or three hours, a group of sea monsters will be besieged.
Even when you sleep at night, the sonar remains silent, and trouble can come to you at any time.
After careful calculation, so far, the alien sea monsters buried under the roar of the cannons of the expeditionary fleet can basically be said to be thousands!
This shows how arduous this voyage was.
You know, the fleet has only sailed less than a thousand kilometers away from the city of Sil, and it has not even reached the sea where the hydrothermal wasteland is located, and is still in the cargo corridor of the first half of the 66671 channel.
In this relatively safe area, the team has already encountered such a large number of battles.
One can imagine how difficult the road ahead will be.
Fortunately, the golden finger, which has been rotten for a long time, has finally played a vital role recently.
When ordinary people encounter a large number of different kinds of sea monsters in clusters, they can be reminded by the abnormal points on the sonar display, although the size and number of sea monsters can be distinguished.
However, it is impossible to judge the type of monster attacking from each direction, so it is impossible to respond effectively in a timely manner according to the characteristics and attack methods of the monsters.
For example, gray algae crawlers are small in size and usually prefer to gather in a dozen or twenty groups to launch a swarm attack.
At this time, the rate of fire of the bullet and the range of ballistic dispersion have become the key factors for effective killing.
Using a burst cannon as a fast-firing scattering weapon can inflict greater casualties on groups of monsters at long distances than the electromagnetic cannon.
In addition, due to the larger individual target, the stratum corneum on the body surface of the body also has strong resistance to small-caliber bullets.
Therefore, when facing the mire swift dragon group, the effect of using the electromagnetic cannon is naturally better.
For each different sea monster, choose a targeted weapon to fight, and the final effect will definitely be different.
Ordinary people have no choice at all on this issue, and the sea monster can only stew in a mess when it comes, and all kinds of weapons are shot indiscriminately.
When the sea monster rushes into the range of the searchlight, and then readjusts it, it is already a lost opportunity.
But this problem does not exist for Meng Lei at all.
He glanced at the central control screen, and all the sea monsters within a radius of two kilometers were instantly exposed.
Which kind of monster is the most numerous in one direction, he can see at a glance that the door is very clear.
Then, according to the type of sea monster, a targeted attack order is issued to each submarine, so that each cannon can exert the maximum effect.
To outsiders, his command may seem very mediocre and unremarkable.
But in fact, when the battle broke out, careful people could find that the accuracy of Meng Lei's instructions was ridiculously high in terms of pertinence!
And it is precisely thanks to Meng Lei's precise and efficient command that the long-distance fleet has gone through dozens of battles during these two days of voyage but has never encountered a crisis.
Often, as soon as those sea monsters enter the range of the ship's weapons, they are immediately met with headaches.
There was no time to launch an offensive, and the momentum of the offensive was broken.
Even if there are sporadic fish that slip through the net and get close to the surface of the submarine, the electromagnetic coil that has been painstakingly built with nearly 100,000 modification fees will become the last line of defense for every ship, resolving the crisis invisibly.
Along the way, even though there have been hardships and obstacles, it can be regarded as thrilling.
The only thing that is somewhat less optimistic is that the large number of battles also means excessive consumption of ammunition.
In just two or three days, the fleet's ammunition reserves have dropped by a full quarter!
This still counts the nearly 100,000 marks of ammunition that Lenny provided free assistance, and if it is concerned with the batch of ammunition carried by Meng Lei himself, maybe all the ammunition will be gone.
And judging from the current momentum, the remaining three-quarters of the ammunition reserve may not be able to last until the team reaches the colony of Barona.
The hydrothermal wasteland is already famous for its many sea monsters, and now that it has caught up with the explosion of space tides, the frequency and intensity of the next battles may be unprecedentedly high!
Such a situation was also something that Meng Lei could not have predicted before going to sea this time.
However, there are two sides to everything.
Although the consumption of ammunition has increased, after such a long period of fighting, the proficiency of each in-service security officer in the handling of artillery has increased dramatically.
As the saying goes, the so-called sharpshooters are slowly fed with one shot at a time.
Although the Blue Star players accompanying the team are not yet at the height of the sharpshooter.
But after a lot of combat training, the hit rate of everyone in battle has been greatly improved.
On the side, it also means a reduction in ammunition wear and tear in disguise.
In addition, in fact, in terms of ammunition consumption, Meng Lei is not particularly worried.
As we went deeper, perhaps because there were few ships passing by, there were more and more exposed ores along the way.
Metal ores that are rooted in the seabed and the surface of rock formations can effectively provide raw materials for the manufacture of ammunition.
In order to avoid running out of ammunition, there is no ability to respond in times of crisis.
These days, in the process of advancing, whenever a mineral is discovered, Meng Lei will stop the fleet and send people out of the cabin to harvest.
Over time, although the ammunition is getting less and less, the raw materials are being picked up more and more.
Overall, if all the raw materials collected so far are made into ammunition, it will be even more than the total amount of ammunition carried by the fleet when it sails!
Of course, this is only for ordinary standard ammunition.
Those rare ammunition such as depleted bullets are indeed one less shot, and it is difficult to collect crafting materials.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Meng Lei can not use special ammunition as much as possible, and good steel has to be used on the blade, he still understands this truth.
"Report! The battle of the guards is over, and the group of monsters in the direction of eleven o'clock is annihilated! ”
"Report! The battle of Escort II is over, and the target in the direction of two o'clock has been annihilated! ”
"Report! The battle of the three guards is over......"
……
Eventually, the sound of gunfire in the darkness outside the cabin gradually stopped.
The dense anomalies on the sonar display screen disappeared one after another with the report of Lin Ming and others.
Instead, the remains of sea monsters floated in the endless dark waters outside the portholes.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
The alien sea monsters that died in this battle must have two or three hundred, to say the least.
Filthy blood enveloped a large number of corpses and severed limbs, as if a cloud of blood mist was floating in the air, filling the entire nearby sea.
As far as the eye can see, under the reflection of the snow-white searchlight, there is a dazzling scarlet!
"The combatants get out of the cabin and clean up the battlefield as fast as possible!"
A deep voice came out of Meng Lei's mouth, and as soon as the battle ended, he immediately ordered everyone to start cleaning.
The so-called cleaning of the battlefield, to put it bluntly, is actually to drag the body of the sea monster back to the cabin, and then use the deconstructor in the engineering cabin to decompose it.
These sea monsters themselves are not of much value, and under normal circumstances, the price of each corpse is only about 100 marks.
Although it is said that all the corpses of the sea monsters in the vicinity add up, they can be sold for twenty or thirty thousand.
But Meng Lei now has a net worth of tens of millions, where can he still see this little money?
The point is, the warehouses of the fleets are now full of ammunition, minerals, and groceries, and there is simply not that much place to pick up this garbage.
The reason why everyone cleaned up the battlefield was that Meng Lei still valued the mysterious genetic material.
Through the destructor of the engineering module, unknown genetic material can be decomposed from these sea monsters, which is not of great use to Meng Lei at present.
However, for the alliance, there is still a lot of research value.
Turning back to the colony of Barona and selling it to the connector introduced by Roger is also a lot of wealth, at least more valuable than the monster itself.
And Meng Lei also plans to start preparing from now on, intentionally collecting genetic material with perfect genes for future transformation.
This kind of thing is not achieved overnight, and perfect genes are hard to find, so they can only be piled up by probability.
In addition, the unknown genetic material itself is not so easy to obtain.
The average decomposition of the corpses of a hundred monsters can only get a share of genetic material from them, and the probability is simply ridiculously low.
After so many battles in the past two days, the fleet has killed thousands of monsters, and it is only then that less than thirty unknown genetic materials have been decomposed.
And the one with the highest genetic integrity is only 30 percent!
It can be seen that if you want to obtain a genetic material with a genetic integrity of more than 90%, the probability is similar to winning the lottery.
Only with long-term accumulation can we see a little hope.
With Meng Lei's order issued, all the fleet members got busy and began to clean up the battlefield.
Taking advantage of this short break, Meng Lei had nothing to do, made a cup of coffee and sat in the command room, opened the tablet and began to watch the news.
Browsing daily current events has now become his daily pastime.
With the outbreak of large-scale smuggling, many Blue Star players poured into the depths of the channel, and all kinds of messy news simply emerged.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and this sentence is indeed appropriate for Blue Star players.
The Tiya people's awareness of waterway safety for hundreds of years has been broken, and the so-called safe waterway has almost lost its meaning.
Blue Star players who have just entered the depths can no matter where you are safe or where you are dangerous, as long as you can get through, it doesn't matter if you are in the unknown sea, you will drill into it with your head bored.
There are not a few people who are keen to explore, and without the constraints of the alliance, those adventure lovers can be regarded as completely unblocked, and the game is out of control.
Even in the unknown area where the alliance signal coverage is lost, Blue Star players can be seen frequently.
The various changes and bizarre events caused by this have also become a hot topic reported by major media in recent days.
