Chapter 20: The Giant Whale Spreads Its Wings
"Commander, what's wrong?" Chief of Staff Sergei noticed Alexander's tightly knit brow and wondered.
"Look, some of those surviving balls of flesh have gotten bigger!" Alexander said, pointing to a ball of meat on the screen.
Sergei was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly approached the big screen, leaned in and took a closer look. The rest of the command room also took a closer look. After a long time, Sergei suddenly exclaimed: "I understand, they must have eaten the wreckage of the fighter!" It must be like this! ”
Alexander's guess in his mind was actually similar to Sergei's, these little things must be nourished by devouring some substance, and then growing rapidly, right......
"So could the Tucker Creature Ship itself be cultivated in this way? When these little things grow to a certain state, the Tuckers will make certain special modifications to make them combat ships! Sergei seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secret and died, pacing back and forth with some excitement: "Let's be bolder, if these biological spaceships can devour certain substances as nutrients, does that mean...... Are they self-healing? ”
A bold conjecture and assumption instantly surprised and frightened everyone in the command room, and if it was really as Sergei said, wouldn't it be even more slim for our chances of winning.
Alexander looked at his own fighters who were fighting hard with these small things, and his mind was uncertain for a while, although it seemed that these small things were not very difficult to kill, but they were huge in number, and there seemed to be some invisible connection between them, which made them very sharp, and they were not inferior to the navy's carrier-based aircraft in speed.
Just when everyone was racking their brains to think about countermeasures, the second squadron, which had broken away from the formation in advance, sent a message, reporting that it had broken out of the encirclement network and was looking for an opportunity to attack on the periphery.
Alexander thought for a moment and decisively ordered: "So that they don't have to fight the enemy here, and quickly attack the Tak fleet itself in the distance." ”
Deputy Commander Green, Chief of Staff Sergei agreed after hearing this, and it was obvious that the Tucker people intended to use these little things to delay time in order to wait for the main force of the fleet to arrive. Therefore, they must not be allowed to do their bidding, even though the second squadron has only twenty warships and needs to deal with a fleet twice the size of the Tuckers.
The 4th Squadron soon received the order of the fleet, and the squadron commander was very decisive, and immediately led the whole squadron to attack the Tucker fleet that was on guard in the distance as fast as possible, the squadron was full of firepower, and the Tuckers also discovered the incoming 2nd squadron, and immediately the fleet moved, and it seemed to be a little chaotic. The commander of the second squadron captured this detail and quickly dispatched a carrier-based aircraft unit to rush towards the enemy position at a higher speed, hoping to split the enemy fleet formation.
In a moment, hundreds of carrier-based aircraft of the 2nd Squadron ejected and pierced the enemy's heart like a sharp sword.
The Tucker man's spaceship quickly began to fight back, only to see two giant whale-like spaceships, on the rough skin, spread two huge wings, from a distance, like a butterfly, only to see that on the two wings, a line of lines gradually lit up, every two lines of intersection there is a circular ring, like an eye, all the lines seem to flow something, gathered into each ring. Each wing had hundreds of such rings, and in an instant, the rings all lit up, flashing a dazzling blue light, and then erupted, and a blue beam of light swept through the fleet group of the second squadron like chopping vegetables, and hundreds of carrier-based aircraft evaporated in an instant, and the battleship that was hit was directly halved by everything, and there was not even an explosion.
The squadron commander's battleship narrowly escaped, and he looked at everything in front of him in horror, and the entire squadron, with less than ten ships surviving, most of them suffered heavy damage. It can be said that the second squadron has lost its combat capability.
After the panic, the young squadron commander gave his last order with grief and indignation: "I will continue to charge!" ”
The rest of the surviving ships did not hesitate to follow after seeing the commander's ship adjust its stance and continue to attack the enemy, even though their ships were already partially damaged.
The light of the Tucker whale warship dimmed, and slowly retracted its massive wings. The other medium-sized ships began to move forward, looking like giant caterpillars, with rows of flesh hanging from their bellies, like eggs. The smaller ships were egg-shaped, and the furrowed skin looked like a single piece, so tightly fitting that it was impossible to see where the ship's entrance was.
As the second squadron charged to the death, the small meat balls that were fighting the Tigris flew backwards one after another, as if they had received some summons, and they swarmed towards the two giant whale warships in the Tucker fleet.
The Tigris quickly followed.
"It seems that those two are the main warships of the Tuckers, and this small fleet uses this as the flagship, presumably they are also the motherships of these little things, or even the mothership!" The deputy commander received the analysis report from the war room, which was just scanned when the two giant whale warships spread their wings, and the report analyzed that the energy source of the giant whale may rely on these small meat balls for collection and transportation, and the blue ray does not seem to be a conventional ship weapon, it should be the main weapon.
"So, the attack just now exhausted the mother's energy, so the mother summoned back these little meat balls?" Alexander asked, tilting his head.
"I think it should be like this." Out of the war room came a young woman wearing eyeglasses, her name was Ma Xisha, a fleet biologist.
"And what exactly is the energy they are harvesting?" Chief of Staff Sergei curious. Metal? Heat? Or something else.
"Unfortunately, we didn't analyze the source of the blue ray's energy." Ma Xisha sighed and said, she had done her best.
"Then we can't let them go back to their mother now, can we? Once the mother body gets enough energy, we are in danger. Either destroy those two ships first, or organize those little meat balls to return to the parent body! Sergei looked around at the crowd.
"Order, the third squadron will cover the flagship, the Tigris, with all its might, and make sure to destroy those two battleships!" Alexander gave the battle order with a hideous face, and it could be seen that this was going to be ruthless.
At this time, the second squadron had already broken through the enemy's forward interception force, and under the cover of other warships, the squadron leader's battleship crashed into the giant whale battleship that had no time to adjust its posture, only to see a huge light shining in the starry sky, and the dazzling white light made the people on the Tigris cover their eyes one after another. The operation of the power system in the ship was affected, so that the backup power was activated in an emergency, and it took about two or three minutes for the main power system of the ship to return to normal.
The brief moment of light vanished, leaving only fragments of shattered wreckage floating in the icy void. The rough skin of one of the Tucker whale warships was already charred black, full of cracks, and it was staggering and floating, looking like it was completely finished. The rest of the Tucker ships quickly approached the last remaining whale battleship, presumably trying to save the ship.
"It's now, don't let down the opportunity created by the second squadron with your life, the maximum power of the whole ship, attack! Sink it if you hit it! ”
After Alexander finished speaking, he took off his general's military hat and slammed it on the console.
