Chapter Forty-Six: Knocking Down the Giant Tree
In one of the cabins of the Xuanhuang, Zhiling came face to face with Lin Zhong again.
In the command room, Lin Chong actually had a lot of things he hadn't asked to understand, and when he returned to the captain's room, he still felt that he had to talk to Zhiling again.
"You know I'm coming?" Lin Zhong sat on the edge of the bed in the cabin and asked Zhiling, who was sitting on the bed across from him.
"I can spy on your thoughts and memories. In your words, our brains are connected. Zhiling explained.
Hearing this, Lin Chong was suddenly stunned, and a bright smile gradually appeared on his face, looking at Zhiling's eyes that had already glowed green.
Zhiling's ears trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at Lin Chong, his eyes were full of surprise, and then turned into helplessness.
"You're thinking really differently." Zhiling said.
"That's, you just say it's okay, right?" Lin Zhong said proudly.
"As you wish."
Zhiling sighed helplessly, the human in front of him was really a little different from his peers.
Lin Zhong laughed, immediately sat up straight, and said, "Is it possible to get rid of the Juggernaut to save your people and restore the original appearance of the T01 star?" ”
"Maybe." The Wisdom Spirit thought for a moment and nodded slowly, in fact, it belonged to the wise men of their race, and the wise men had a complete wisdom inheritance, and in its intellectual body, there was no inheritance about saving the homeland. So it can't be judged either.
"Why not give it a try? Maybe my ship can destroy the giant tree. Lin Zhong said solemnly. He was serious, how cool it would be if he could destroy that giant tree and save the T01 starmen. Of course, the work can't be done in vain...... Oh no, wouldn't it be nice to invite a group of wise people to join your fleet.
In fact, Lin Chongzi had been thinking about it from the beginning, Zhiling had the ability to copy thoughts, what ability would its people have?
At the moment, human beings are weak, and they must unite all the forces that can be united, and what they have found are all treasures.
"If you really destroy the Juggernaut and save my homeland, I think my people will repay you."
Zhiling knew what Lin Chong was thinking, and for it, Lin Chong was transparent.
"Good! That's it for now, I'll go back and get ready. Lin Zhong got up with satisfaction and smiled at Zhiling.
Zhiling nodded, and lay down on the bed.
Lin Chong, who turned around, suddenly asked again: "How can you ...... this ability?"
"Sorry, no, and my abilities can only be used once." Zhiling looked at Lin Chong with some disgust, which made Lin Chong a little embarrassed, and some dirty thoughts in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Excuse me! Leave! ”
With an embarrassed smile, Lin Chong quickly left.
……
Arriving at the command room, Lin Zhong quickly gathered everyone and began to discuss how to completely destroy this giant tree.
At this time, the drone at a low altitude has carried out all-round scanning and data collection on the giant tree, and staff officer Xie An has conducted a preliminary analysis, and he found that the energy source of the giant tree comes from the roots located underground, just like the heart of the giant tree, supplying energy to the entire giant tree.
Xie An's discovery of this situation was quickly unanimously affirmed by everyone.
Soon, a preliminary plan was worked out, first no one would conduct a fire test to see if the giant tree had a self-defense mechanism, and then, depending on the situation, the Xuanhuang's two levels of three main guns would launch a long-range precision strike on its energy source.
Of course, Qihe has proposed, if this is the case, what should the awakened people who are still alive in the root maze do?
Lin Chong's answer was that the faith they fought to move forward was not to bring down the ruler who had taken over their homeland.
Necessary sacrifices are inevitable.
Soon, the Xuanhuang began to implement the combat plan as planned, and after releasing a batch of combat drones, the Xuanhuang rose to an altitude of 20,000 meters, and the main gun had begun to warm up and charge.
Everyone began to get nervous, and with the return of the low-altitude picture, they saw that the combat drone launched a very ferocious firepower strike on the giant tree, but they don't know if it was due to the large size of the giant tree, or if it itself had no ability to counterattack, and the "Juggernaut" has been very calm.
"No, the drone's firepower is like tickling." Deputy Captain Han Tianhu said helplessly.
"No matter, prepare for long-range strikes, maximize the charge of the shield, prepare for anti-strikes, and prevent accidents!" Lin Zhong decisively ordered, the size of the giant tree is too large, and he is now a little skeptical that the main cannon of the Xuanhuang can be moved, but logically speaking, no matter how thick and big you are, you can't withstand live ammunition and lasers, after all, according to the data, the main component of this giant tree is carbon.
The main cannon of the Xuanhuang was located at the back of the top, and the two guns were side by side, at this time, the muzzle of the cannon had emitted a dazzling white light, and with the trembling of the Xuanhuang's hull for a moment, the high-energy laser rays accurately pierced the roots of the giant tree.
The huge heat quickly scorched the giant tree, and suddenly, countless slender vines grew from the roots of the giant tree, forming a shield wall made of vines in the place where it was attacked, trying to resist the laser, but it was undoubtedly directly shattered by the impact of the powerful beam.
At this moment, the canopy of the giant tree began to shake violently, and suddenly many things like missiles flew out of it, flying towards the Xuanhuang at high speed.
"Close-in defense artillery to intercept with all your might!" Lin shouted that he hadn't seen what it was, but he knew that it must be the "Juggernaut's" counterattack.
The dense close-in defense artillery began to fire with all its might, forming an invisible barrier, intercepting all the missiles that flew in, and occasionally a few fish that slipped through the net did not cause damage to the energy shield of the Xuanhuang, just like glass beads hitting a bulletproof window.
"It doesn't seem to have much power...... Lin Chong breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a dense flying patch just now, and he really scared him.
At this time, the main gun of the Xuanhuang had already ended the strike due to an overheating warning.
The giant tree seemed to calm down, too. A large pit had been carved out of its roots, and something seemed to be wriggling inside.
"What's that?!" Qihe exclaimed.
In the picture, the crimson flesh tentacles connected to the roots of the giant tree are wriggling wildly, as if trying to crawl out of the pit.
Xie An instantly felt unwell when he saw it, and vomiting came with a flurry of vomiting.
Lin Zhong frowned, could this be the energy source of the roots of the giant tree?
"Report, it appears to be a parasitic organism that is entrenched in the roots of giant trees. The strong energy response is not from them, maybe ......" the combat staff officer on the side reported with some words and stops.
The staff officer's words made Lin Chong frown, and he knew in his heart what the staff officer hadn't finished speaking, that is, it was possible that this giant tree was not an alien thing that destroyed the planet, and those parasites could be, they hollowed out the roots of the giant tree, sucked the energy accumulated by the giant tree, and it was even possible to transform and control the giant tree.
Everyone glanced at each other, waiting for Lin Zhong to speak.
"It's useless to think too much, just do it, strike again, and destroy those disgusting things first." Lin Zhong didn't bother and directly ordered the second round of attacks. He had doubts in his heart, because Zhi Ling had said that in the memories passed down by his ancestors, the giant tree did not appear on the planet at the beginning, but appeared after the impact of an alien unknown object, so could the giant tree be a biological weapon? If so, what civilization will send it......
This time, the Xuanhuang was firing at full power, and the main and secondary guns were fired at the same time.
A huge explosion rose in the deep pit, thick black smoke spread in all directions, and at this time, the remaining green bubbles at the roots of the giant tree shattered, and all the creatures inside began to awaken.
"Report, the strength of the energy source is weakening!"
At the same time, with a loud sound that resounded through the sky, the main trunk of the giant tree split in two from the middle and began to slowly crack.
The creatures that had just woken up below were stunned, and even froze in place, not knowing how to escape.
The people on the Xuanhuang also watched this scene, and the giant tree that was divided in half fell to both sides, and the roots covering the surface of the ground were also drying up and breaking rapidly, turning into powder one by one.
Inside the severed trunk, Lin Zhong could clearly see that it had been completely hollowed out and filled with dark red worms, which were struggling to escape from the trunk, however, long-term parasitism had made them merge with the trunk.
"So your heart is broken...... Kedoransh ...... I'm sorry I didn't protect you. ”
Zhiling's mournful voice sounded, Lin Chong looked back, and at some point, it floated silently beside Lin Chong.
Xie An and Qihe were startled and quickly took out their pistols to guard against them.
Lin Chong was calm, looking at the dissipating maze of roots and the jubilant awakened creatures, and said with a smile: "Can you trust us humans this time?" His Highness Kdoransh Zhiling. ”
