Standing in the bridge, Gu Hang stared at the Korojia No. 3 outside the window, speechless for a long time.

It's a withered yellow planet.

The water on the surface of the planet occupies less than a tenth of the body, and from orbit, it looks yellow-green, yellow-green, and it doesn't look like a good thing - in fact, it is exactly the case, the water body of Koroga 3 is unusable, full of industrial wastewater, toxic substances emerging from the earth's crust after overdevelopment.

Even after multiple filtration and purification, it is not recommended to use and does not meet safety standards.

What's more, in the broken ground of Koroga, the purification process may not be completely guaranteed.

But no one cares, almost all the Koroga people use this water.

What do you use without this water? Is it possible that the water resources needed by 40 billion people can still be imported by interstellar trade?

Except for a small part of the water body, the rest of the planet is dry and yellow.

There is no vegetation, and all that comes into view is desert. The earth is yellow, the atmospheric clouds are yellow, and even the air is yellow in some places.

And in this large area of withered yellow, there are dozens of large, gray-black 'spots', and the combined area is also very large when gazing at the planet in orbit.

These spots are the nest capital area.

Every nest on Koroga is home to hundreds of millions and billions of people.

And now, one of these nests is the most conspicuous.

It's not particularly big, it's decent, it's just that behind it, with a long tail in tow, has a distance of thousands of kilometers.

Gu Hang knew that it was moving, although it couldn't be seen for a while, its forward speed of about two kilometers an hour was not obvious in orbit, and it was impossible for Gu Hang to stare at it motionless here for a long time.

But he knew it was moving.

This is the city of Fino, which has created a deep rift hundreds of meters deep and tens of kilometers wide in the past month's creeps, known as the 'Plague Trace'.

The Astral Army has no way to take it, and the Pegasus Fleet, which is not in the main force, can't do anything about it.

And this creeping nest capital, with a seemingly slow, but actually resolute attitude, is moving towards its goal.

A week earlier, it had reached its goal: another nest.

The nest is relatively small, but it is home to more than 300 million people.

After realizing that the target of 'Fino City' is this nest capital, the people of the planet have tried their best to find a way.

On the one hand, the nest is frantically evacuating people, but this thing is not going well. Turmoil broke out in the bottom area of this nest capital, and the plague cult had infiltrated it to a certain extent. The cult followers who have been deceived into their minds shouted the slogan of 'becoming one with the loving father' and tried their best to sabotage and obstruct the evacuation operation.

In addition to the obstruction of cult followers, the evacuation of 300 million people is itself a huge and incompleteable project. The internal transportation of Chaodu is still developed, but at the beginning of the design, the 'intercity transportation' was only for material exchanges, business exchanges, and a small number of high-level personnel exchanges, and did not consider the flow of hundreds of millions of people at once.

There is a big traffic jam in the nest, which is almost an inevitable situation.

On the other hand, in addition to the efforts of the nest capital itself, the astral army and the planetary defense forces have finally assembled and launched an army-level operation against Fino City.

The army of millions bravely stood in front of the 'Fino City'. Heavy artillery bombarded every living building, armored vehicles, tanks and brave soldiers, stepped into the carpet of flesh and blood, and used flamethrowers and bombs to destroy the city as much as possible.

But their actions ultimately failed.

The plague monsters in Fino City are far more numerous than the valiant human warriors, and they have been fiercely counterattacked by plague monsters and cult believers with deformed bodies. Their pace could not reach the core of the city at all, and they were stopped at the edge of the periphery.

What's more, this is no longer the home of human beings, and the malice of the flesh and blood environment towards human beings is infinitely great. The constructed bunker may be activated, which in turn opens its mouth wide to devour the soldiers hiding behind; The blanket of flesh was cleared of a place, and the trenches and foxholes were dug out, in which the soldiers were still fighting, but after a while pus began to seep from the soles of their feet and on the walls of the trenches, corroding the soldiers' uniforms, armor, and then their skins; If you enter a building to fight, that building may collapse in the next moment......

On the contrary, their enemies can use the entire animated city to appear quickly and stealthily in any place......

'Fino City' has turned into a hell of flesh and blood for humans. And within the home field of hell, it is simply impossible to fight those plague demons.

The million-strong army, after more than two hundred thousand casualties, collapsed.

Even if it doesn't collapse, it really doesn't have combat effectiveness.

In the process of withdrawal, there are still a lot of losses.

And at such a high price, it only delayed the pace of 'Fino City' for about five days, and it started again.

By the time Fino City touched the other nest capital, there were at least 100 million people inside who hadn't had time to evacuate.

Then, people outside witnessed a 'fusion of cities'.

Fusion in the physical sense.

Like a flesh beast, Fino moved step by step, wrapping its tentacles and every part of it around every building and structure in the nest capital.

In the place where it was entangled, there was a phenomenon of liveness at the same time.

Three days, just three days later, Fino City 'swallowed' the nest capital, along with the 100 million people who didn't have time to run out.

Then, it just paused, and it looked like it was going to be for about a week.

It's 'digesting'.

And today, according to the information coming from the surface, Gu Hang learned that 'Fino City' should have completed the digestion work, and it officially started to move again today.

And its next goal is the largest nest capital on Koroga, and it is also the capital city, with a population of three billion people.

The distance between the two places is 2,700 kilometers, and at the speed of the city of Fino, in three months, it will reach its goal.

Even more terrifying, it may have planned to visit dozens of nests on Koroga one by one at a speed of about 2 kilometers per hour and about 30 kilometers per day.

It will eat up the entire planet.

Gu Hang looked at all this and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

He arrived in Corroga's orbit today, at the invitation of Nair Loys.

This chief tax officer of the star field now directly has the power and responsibility of an envoy urgently granted by the star field government to solve the problem of Koroga 3.

Regarding Korojia's information, Gu Hang had already learned about it through Star Communication before.

But the feeling of seeing the report is very different from standing on the bridge of a starship in orbit and witnessing the huge rotten sores on this huge planet.

"What's the solution?"

Gu Hang muttered to himself.

Even he was at a loss.

In the past four years, the alliance has developed quite rapidly.

The three major industrial centers of Black Arrow have absorbed a large number of people, and the process of industrialization is very rapid; Agricultural production has also been basically mechanized, and while ensuring a further increase in output, the consumption of agriculture on the population has also been greatly reduced.

The population of the Raging Star has grown to 110 million through immigration and encouraging childbearing, and productivity has always maintained rapid growth along with the increase of population.

The combined annual output of the two planets has exceeded 600 million; With the continuous improvement of people's quality of life, the fiscal balance can reach nearly 150 million yuan per year, while the annual tax revenue is only 45 million.

Everything is on track, the Union never needs to pay taxes anymore, and even a lot of output can be put back into production, and the future looks so bright. Give Gu Hang another four years, or a little longer, and he can build two rich and powerful planets with powerful technology.

But the next-door neighbor, before that, gave him a huge rotten job.

Gu Hang had thought before that Korojia's situation continued to deteriorate, and in the end, it would be out of control.

But this situation came too quickly.

No matter how fast and good the development of the alliance is, but after all, the volume is still too small, and the huge hole in Koroga really can't be filled.

Of course, this in itself is not his duty.

This is the duty of the Empire.

Actually, it's not that the empire really can't deal with this kind of thing.

Some army equipment is equipped with 'general cannons', which are enough weapons to pose a terrible threat to the Void Shield, even a city-level Void Shield, which can overload it after a few rounds and nearly destroy a city with one more shot, and there are also some powerful bombs that can be brought in and bombed down the city.

Not to mention, there's a terrifying weapon just a stone's throw away: starships.

If the empire wants to launch an extinction order on a planet, there are actually many ways, the most stupid of which is the starship gun, which carries out a detailed, comprehensive, and devastating blow to the earth's surface, and completely bombs every inch of the planet's surface clearly, commonly known as burning glass.

Of course, there are other ways to exterminate orders. If you use naval guns to 'burn glass', it is actually quite expensive, and there will be a lot of shells, which is expensive and takes a long time, so it is not common. But in some cases where an extermination order is needed, and there are no other extermination weapons for a while, then it can only be improvised.

However, for the fleet to carry out the bombing, it is necessary to ensure that the surface of the earth is not a threat to the orbit, otherwise it will change from the execution of the extermination order to the anti-orbital fire of the planet.

Even if you have some other extinction weapons, such as neutron extermination, sky burning torpedoes, and ground burst star destroyers...... These extermination weapons do not have such high requirements for orbital safety, but it is best to ensure a certain level of safety before launching.

Neutron extermination is used to destroy all organic life on the surface of the planet, the advantage is that after the extinction, when the neutron storm subsides, the planet can still be recolonized, and it can still be used, but the disadvantage is that it is expensive, and it is easy to have a few fish that hide deeply.

The Earthburst Destroyer can directly penetrate the earth's crust, detonate the earth's core, and shatter the planet. Of course, this is not to blow the planet to pieces, the matter itself will still exist, because gravity will still maintain the state of a planet, but this is only an astronomical maintenance, in fact, the whole planet is shattered, and after being reorganized by gravity, the whole planet is in a state of big lava, and it is impossible for anything to survive anymore. The extermination effect of this weapon is the best, but it is also the most expensive and rare.

Compared with the first two, the Burning Sky Torpedo mainly ignites the atmosphere, burns all the gases, and by the way, burns the surface of the planet, and the entire planet will look like a burning amber for a few days on the cosmic level. But the disadvantage is that there may also be fish that have slipped through the net, and the planet will be scrapped after it is burned, and the advantage is that it is much cheaper.

But even the cheapest Burning Sky Torpedo is almost as expensive as a cruiser. The extermination makes the price of the weapon itself so high, and the penetration effect is not very good, if people have relatively strong anti-orbit firepower, it is easy to be intercepted.

If it is intercepted once, it will be reimbursed for a weapon of extermination, and it will not be bearable.

In short, at the level of the entire empire, even an extermination order can be enforced, let alone destroy a city, even if the nest is moving.

However, there is no way to implement it in the Pegasus Star Zone, especially on Koroga 3.

Executing an extermination order against Koroga is. On this planet, with such a large number of people, plus other industries, worth hundreds of billions, or even trillions of tax dollars, it is not to the point where it is completely irretrievable, and such a decision will not be made.

And to destroy 'Fino City', as long as the weapons such as macro cannons and light spear arrays on the starship are enough.

But the problem is that it can't solve the Void Shield and anti-orbital forces on the ground.

It's stupid to use a starship to bombard the surface, no matter how fierce your fleet is, it's really a planet. Starships have limited firepower, limited armor, and limited energy shields they can support. If you want more firepower, thicker armor, and more energy, the starship will have to be bigger, but if it is bigger, the cost will skyrocket exponentially.

But on the surface of the planet, there are no such problems. Firepower? You can do as many guns as you can, and you don't have to worry about having no place to put them; Regardless of the armor problem, no starship has armor thicker than the earth; The generator of the energy shield or the void shield does not need to be considered the size, there is plenty of space on the ground and underground to cram into......

This is the starship that doesn't move but doesn't fall!

If the army can't solve the anti-orbital firepower, the Pegasus fleet can't solve Fino City.

But obviously, the current army on Koroga just can't do it.

Unless the main force of the Pegasus fleet is urgently withdrawn from the battlefield against the greenskins.

Even if they ignore it now and immediately withdraw from the battlefield, but...... Is it in time? It may also take three or four months to return to Koroga across multiple sectors.

At that time, the famous salt city was gone.

The Creep Nest Capital, which has been greatly strengthened again, is afraid that the strength of the Void Shield and the Anti-Orbit Evil Energy Cannon will be further improved, and when the main force of the Pegasus fleet is there, it may not be able to solve the problem.

At that point, it may be a bit too late to consider an extermination order.
