Chapter 518: A Greater Temptation
The Fifth Fleet, which received the order, opened a round of laser cannon bombardment, this time the human race was very well prepared, the firepower was sufficient, and it slowly retreated backwards while fighting, and it took more than an hour for the fleet to gradually get out of the battlefield, and once it was pulled away to a certain distance, the insect swarm did not pursue, a large number of broods were suspended in space, and giant insects also returned to the brood, the brood contracted, as if it had entered a state of sleep, forming a huge barrier before the Kepler planet, and more broods were still in the air, It's just that the speed of liftoff is not so urgent.
Markham immediately convened a combat meeting, this time the temptation has initially seen the scale of the giant insect, and now it is no longer the dimensionality reduction strike that many people are optimistic about, judging from this contact, the giant insect has also prepared enough troops, and has evolved the space combat power to a large extent, which is completely different from the previous encounter.
"The size of the brood is much larger, five or six times that of the first generation, and the varieties are also refined, the release of energy balls and the beginning of the classification of transportation, from the intelligence shows, there are several unknown abilities, this time it is a tough battle."
"Judging from the results, their ability to resist our firepower is also improving, this explosion drone is very strong in firepower, but the damage caused is very average, and it does not meet our expectations, I think, the opponent is no longer a simple inferior creature."
The debate in the conference room was very fierce, the giant worm is prepared, and the scale is not at all the kind of human judgment, so many years to allow humans to establish a base in Kepler, and the giant worm must have evolved and developed silently in the underground nest that is beyond the reach of humans, and there is likely to be the head and tail of the Nemerian civilization and human traitors, this thing is war, it can be fought, and it can't be fought.
With the current size and combat effectiveness of the giant insect, do humans still want to fight this battle?
"At the current scale, the entire fleet will also need to pay a huge price to press into, is it really necessary for us to cross the solar system to carry out this battle?"
"The giant worms are evolving too fast, and the human traitors are in Kepler, if we don't do our best to destroy them now, it will be a different story when they arrive in the solar system!"
"This is all speculation on your part, there is no scientific basis, we can completely destroy the jump point, how did a group of bugs come from Kepler, they would have come a long time ago!"
"Speculation, if it was before we arrived at Kepler, it would have been true, but now that we have come, that layer of window paper has been pierced, you said he can't come, can you guarantee it, how do you know, as long as we come, what will we do, what will humanity do, I think we have no way out, I don't think there is any need to think about the alliance report anymore, once we get into a fight, this battle will end in a fiasco for mankind!"
"Fart, the fate of humanity is up to you personally, do you know what war means, do you know how many people there are in the entire fleet, this is the living force of humanity, not what you want!"
The fryer in the conference room, Markham was silent, because this expedition as a whole is relatively optimistic, including the high-level, and even more optimistic for the people below, this is the first time that mankind has prepared such a powerful fleet, which used to be small-scale, and in terms of space science and technology, we are crushed by giant insects, and in recent years, countless preparations have been made for Kepler's research and programs, which is to be crushed, the so-called tactical caution is actually a statement, deep down, No one thinks we're going to be able to beat these low, silicon-based primitive creatures.
And now, the price to be paid to win this war may not be affordable to anyone.
Markham knocked on the table, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are not only dealing with giant insects this time, but also human traitors, and the existence of the Nemerian civilization, for which there is no more information yet. ”
"Commander-in-chief, the Nemerian civilization has been destroyed, I don't think we can scare ourselves, the ruins on the earth also prove this, it was all tens of thousands of years ago, although Kepler found some traces, but it doesn't mean anything, human traitors are real, but our strongest human strength will be frightened by some human cults, I think some people have other intentions?"
In an instant, the entire conference room was quiet, the water of Noah's Ark was very deep, some were involved, some were passive, and even inadvertently received benefits, after all, the tentacles of a family like Molafis were too far-reaching, and some normal contacts were also included, but at this sensitive moment, things changed for the better.
Beat...... It must be fought, but if the war really starts, there will be no choice now.
If you want to go to war, you must formulate a new battle plan and bear the consequences, if you want to retreat, you must prevent the possibility of giant insects invading the solar system, with the reproduction and survival ability of these giant insects, it will bring immeasurable disasters to the solar system.
This kind of thing is not a hot brain, and it will be over, it will definitely be fought, and how to fight will need everyone to re-designate the plan.
Markham has always been a little worried about the Nimerian civilization, all kinds of signs indicate that the Nimerian civilization is not completely extinct, how can a cult organization like Noah's Ark be evil and human, Nangong Aerospace uses the Nimerian civilization to occupy Cirian's body, which is a terrifying thing in itself, and from the perspective of interests, it has almost reached the extreme that a human being needs.
What is the scramble for?
Fame.
The madman is also logical, he has achieved the greatest goal he can achieve, and he is not satisfied, and even wants to risk doing even more crazy things, Markham does not think that he wants to occupy Kepler, because the heir of Molafis plus the power of Noah's Ark, one light and one dark, can generate a lot of energy, this kind of traitorous behavior is not needed at all.
There is only one possibility, that is, Nangong Aerospace or Noah's Ark discovered something greater and more tempting than human fame and fortune after coming into contact with the Nimerian civilization, and was even bewitched by some kind of power.
The alliance has investigated and sorted out the whole incident, although there is no direct evidence, but all parties point to a common point, that is, it is very likely that the Nimerian civilization is not completely extinct, and is constantly interfering with the process of human civilization in some way, and even leading mankind to discover the planet Kepler.
"There was a great man in our history who said, guess boldly, verify carefully. Now there is a possibility, this is the first time that we have encountered an attack by a higher civilization, and the form of attack is diverse, and force is only one of them. Wu Fa said.
The three generals in the conference room had to make a judgment on the current situation, and the discussion of the others was only to provide ideas, and in the end, the three of them had to make the final judgment.
Pang Pai held a cigar in his mouth, his face was full of the ruthlessness and ferocity characteristic of Martians, "I don't approve of retreating, I'm coming, why don't you kill them and go back and wait for death." ”
Since you have chosen to become a soldier, death is an attribute of this profession.
Markham nodded, "Fighting must be fought, but the strategy must be readjusted, martial arts, what do you think?" ”
Wu Fa nodded, "At the beginning, our strategy was to think that the main force was the giant worm, and now it is likely to be the Nemerian civilization, if this is the case, it will be two wars, and we must first find a way to determine this." ”
The art of war lies in peeling back the cocoon, finding clues from the clutter, and then deciding how to fight.
"We don't know anything about Kepler's interior right now, and the strange fog is a bit weird, and it is impossible for such a vast sea area to have this level of fog under normal circumstances, and it must be trying to cover up something." Pang Pai's hoarse voice sounded, "And how is our base, we have to find a way to go in and see, Markham, have you already thought of it." ”
Markham looked at the star map with deep eyes, are you ready He did a little bit of everything, and let Li Hao form a special combat group to deal with some special situations, "At present, the vigilance of the giant insect is the highest, don't worry, this is a protracted war, inform all warships to prepare for long-term operations, and the alliance side also has to ask for supplies." ”
"Grass, I won't do this, come on, martial arts, they're too ink, it's like I'm going to be corrupt." Pang Pai said.
War is to fight people with money, in the general direction it is for the safety of human beings, but not everyone agrees with this point of view, and there is a part of people who also have to look at the income ratio, this expedition is formed, but continue to add supplies, how long to fight, how to fight, the next problems are all Markham and others have to face.
"I'm also sorry for this, I'll come first in the first wave." Wu Fa said, the first wave, pointed out the key, that is, this war will never be too easy, he already knows how Markham plans to fight, and he has to take turns to be cheeky when he asks for money and equipment.
The huge fleet of human beings is scattered in space, and there are also formations, the six fleets are divided into five space anchors, of which the free fleet of TAS is mainly for transportation and follows the Hanxing fleet on the moon, the fifth fleet is still at the forefront as the vanguard, followed by the sixth fleet of the earth, and the two fleets of Mars are scattered on both wings, if strategically necessary, they can launch a full-scale attack on Kepler to break through the defense of the giant worm, and their non-concentrated way obviously does not want humans to enter the interior of the planet Kepler.
At present, relying on the Kepler planet, there is a certain supply advantage in being close to the battle giant worm, far away from the battle, the giant worm will not follow, this war is not for human beings to enter Kepler, but to eliminate the giant worm, otherwise it is meaningless, of course, the advantage of human beings is the initiative to advance and retreat, too far away from the solar system, the supply line is too long is also a human problem.
"I don't know if we are going to produce faster than us, or if the giant worm is faster."
"This time I'm going to make a break with the giant worm."
"We have superior forces, and before they can react, we will press them down with all our firepower and completely destroy them!"
