"We've only heard of signs of insect activity here, and we don't know any specific information. Is there any reliable information that you can provide? On the way, Yang Yi connected to the cruiser's captain's channel and asked.

The captain was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then sighed: "Alas, someone has finally been sent from above to deal with this matter." To tell you the truth, it's been nearly half a year since the first signs of insect activity were discovered. Most of the mine has ceased to function, with only a few well-fortified mining sites still functioning. ”

Yang Yi frowned: "Is it so serious?" What about the quantity? ”

"At least a whole hive army. The top itself has sent a group of mercenaries to garrison here, and the strength of the hive troops that can beat those drunkards to the point that they can only shrink behind the city wall will definitely not be weak. I'd suggest you'd better put in the effort to deal with these tough guys. ”

Yang Yi glanced at the black rose beside him, and the black rose shook his head gently.

"Understood. Thank you for the information. With that, Yang Yi turned off the communication channel.

"Damn, that's a tough question." Yang Yi's brows furrowed even deeper, "A whole hive army?!" An Imperial full-weaver may not be able to deal with these difficult guys......"

As if she hadn't heard him, Black Rose continued to operate the ship as if no one was around.

“…… Black Rose, don't you have any ideas? ”

"Huh? Head, this is the trouble you got into trouble, what can I do? Black Rose rolled her eyes when she heard this, "Why don't we turn around and leave now, it's still too late to leave." When the time comes, if you fall into the sea of insects, you may not be able to run away. ”

"Leave? How can it be?! He rolled his eyes at Black Rose, "It's all here, you don't really think you'll be able to leave." If we just leave, our reputation will stink in the entire star zone...... Why don't you give Black Rose a try? ”

"What am I trying?" Black Rose was stunned when she heard this, not understanding Yang Yi's words.

"I mean, are you going to give it a try and get a wave of decapitation?" Yang Yi thought for a moment and said his thoughts, "One of the major features of the insect swarm is the psionic network that supports its hierarchy, with the Queen of Blades as the leader increasing layer by layer, roughly the Queen of Blades, the Mother of Worms, the Queen of Worms, the King Worms, and then all kinds of other combat or logistics alien insect units. If you can get rid of the Mother Worm here, the Insect Combat Force here may be in disarray. ”

"What do you mean?" Black Rose was a little confused.

“…… I mean, for the Queen of Blades, even if the Blade Queen's own psionic level is immeasurably high, it will be difficult to control them all in the face of the huge number of swarms. That's why there is such a hierarchy that if you try to kill the mother worm here, the swarm's chain of command will be disorganized. Each unit of the swarm will fight on its own. The queen worm cannot coordinate with each other due to the lack of worm mothers, and the king worm cannot make independent judgments due to its low intelligence, so it can only passively receive and transmit the higher-level psionic signals to the low-level insects. ”

"But we're going to have to deal with these insects in the end, aren't we?" Black Rose shook her head, "After all, we can't reduce their numbers, at most we can just make their tactics monolithic and coordinated. In the face of sheer numbers, no matter how complex the tactics are, they are only prolonging the struggle before death. ”

"No, no, no, Black Rose, you still don't understand my thoughts." Yang Yi still shook his head and said, "Think about it, if you get rid of the worm mother, will there be a vacancy in the high-level command position on this planet......"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, head, are you going to ......"

"I just had this idea." Yang Yi smiled bitterly, "After all, we have no other way, right?" However, even if it doesn't work, killing the worm mother is a necessary part of weakening the enemy. Maybe you can give it a try then? ”

Black Rose stared at Yang Yi, and after a few minutes, she lowered her head, muttered a few dirty words viciously in her mouth, and then sighed, "Okay, head." Who made you my commander? ”

"...... so"

"Yes, yes." She said angrily, "Just don't get your hopes up, God knows what the Worm Mother's psionic level is." You'll have to prepare for the worst, not to mention that we don't know anything about the mind of the main hive, and besides, the vast network of biters might just burn me out, and maybe even anger the swarm directly. ”

"Actually, there are only a few insect queens directly connected to you, as long as your psionic level is higher than those insect mothers, and you can simulate the mind of the main nest, there should be no problem."

"Maybe, I can't guarantee it. No one in human history has ever done such a thing, and that's why you can come up with such an unreliable idea. ”

"Isn't that because there have been too few high-level psionic owners in human history? There are only two known level 10 psionics, one is the head of the Ghost Military Academy, the other is the elite agent of the Empire, Nova, and there was originally a Kerrigan who was transformed into the Queen of Blades. As for the level 8 psionics, there is only one defector named Tosh who is known at the moment. And none of these three had a similar experience of beheading worms, so it was naturally unlikely that this kind of thing would happen. But I remember that some high-level psionics do have the ability to control other creatures, so that's why I have this kind of speculation - but I don't think it's very hopeful......"

"Head, you'd better hurry up and plan. The death of a mother worm may attract attention, so you'll have to think about what to do if it attracts the attention of the Queen of Blades. ”

“…… But we're going to have to kill that mother worm anyway, aren't we? If it succeeds, we'll at least have a whole swarm of worms to use as cannon fodder to cut us off. As for the plan, there is really no choice. We'll have to find the location of the Mother Worm first, and then drop you and an elite team right there. You'll be able to kill the Mother as fast as you can, and then kill the Mother as quickly as possible. ”

"When you complete the mission and report directly to me, we will lead the troops to establish a defensive line as quickly as possible, and your task is to invade the psionic network of the swarm as soon as possible and gain control of the entire swarm as soon as possible. Success or not, we'll have to get out of there as soon as you finish your mission. ”

Hearing this, Black Rose exhaled softly: "Whew...... I really didn't expect to do such a risky thing one day. ”

"It's a pirate, after all. Actually, if we had a battlecruiser, there would be no need to bother so much. The establishment of a marine corps of a battle cruiser is less a reorganized regiment, and with the combat effectiveness of several of your ship's mothers, it may be able to directly tear through the defense line of the insects head-on. It's a pity that we have too few people now, otherwise we wouldn't have to take risks. ”

(Thanks to the book friend "WYFZJ20001T" for the suggestion.) One thing to say, the first time I saw a book friend who posted 14 comments in one breath == At first I saw so many comments I thought you were sprayed, but later I found out that you made so many suggestions in one breath, thank you very much. As for the issue of armament and combat effectiveness, I will mention it later. But there will definitely be things that are closely related to the ship's mother. But it is important to note that for interstellar warfare, individual combat effectiveness is not the point. No matter how well the ground battle is fought, it can't withstand a single star cannon fired by the Virgin in outer space. Rather, the real focus is on naval warfare in space. ）

(And the biggest advantage of the ship's mother in this environment is that the entire battleship can react in an instant if it commands, fires, retreats, and pursues, without reporting layer by layer, and orders do not need to be passed layer by layer.) And there is no need for a crew, and its own strength is stronger, and in the face of strong suppressive firepower, it will not cause a loss of combat effectiveness due to the loss of the crew. As for the space warfare environment, the combat effectiveness of the ship mother itself is more reflected in the fact that she can exert her power when she is engaged in a broadside battle. ）

(Finally, thanks for the suggestion.) This is the first time I have received so many suggestions, and I have read them carefully and will take all of them for the benefit of this book. Thank! ）
