363 Give up illusions
Plans for an invasion of Swalk's hub were soon finalized, and Russell finally decided to use the Colossus weapon: the Nanoplague.
This is a trade-off.
The invasion of the miniature galaxy is not a reckless war of extermination with the space necrons or the Aydarns, and each galaxy that the army has taken down is the home of the citizens of the Federation in the future, so it is not possible to litter the weapons of extermination as they please, but to tailor the appropriate slaughter plan to the specific situation of each moment of the planet.
For example, the use of the Colossus weapon 'Heavenly Flood' on a planet with relatively scarce water resources slaughtered all the inhabitants of the planet at one time, and also solved the local water shortage problem by the way.
Another example is the use of neutron extermination to completely destroy the ecosystems of some planets, and after the organic turbidity produced by the swarm creature ship is sucked clean, the 'Bao New Life Seeding' decision is implemented on it, transforming it into a heavenly beautiful planet of Gaia.
These are all construction work for a new home in the future.
As for an urban planet like the 'Swalker Hub', which is highly technologically advanced, has complete industrial facilities, and has its own star ring base, it is necessary to ensure that the city's buildings and public facilities are as intact as possible during the slaughter of the aborigines, so that the Truth Order can directly take over the planet after taking it, so as to maximize the benefits.
Although it is convenient to kill neutrons, the organic life that lives in the ideal city is decomposed into a liquid state by the neutron plume in situ, which will be very troublesome to clean up, and may also cause a short circuit of some high-precision equipment, which outweighs the loss.
It's true that the Order of Truth could choose to release a large number of nanobots to clean up the organic mud - but in that case, why not just use the Nanoplague?
That's why the nano plague was chosen.
Once the plan is chosen, the next step is to act. Possessing absolute military superiority, the Federation Navy fleet destroyed the stellar base of the Swalker Hub system and the battle process with the patrol ship fleet, there were no ups and downs worth writing about, just a monotonous crush, lackluster.
The only thing that hindered the Federation's conquest process was the Planetary Shield Generator, which was activated by the Synthetic Human-Servant after becoming aware of an incursion.
A huge energy output device operates at the poles of the urban planet, and the magnetic field of the planet itself is mobilized, which, together with the energy output of the planetary shield generator, forms a super-giant shield that envelops the entire planet.
"It's a nuisance." Grey Wind shook his head in annoyance.
Unlike the flawed and contradictory mechanics of video games, the planetary shield on Swalk's Hub is not only used to reduce orbital bombardment from starships, but also to defend against non-devastating Colossus weapons such as neutron killing, nanoplague, and 'Poison Flow'.
"We can use naval artillery bombardment to force the shield to blow, but the planetary shield generators at the north and south poles may be overloaded and short-circuited, which may cause subsequent chain explosions and cause great damage to industrial facilities on this planet...... What the marshal wants is an urban planet as complete as possible, and a strong attack will outweigh the losses. ”
Gray Wind clapped his hands happily and said, "At this time, it will be the turn of the army, and we had better send two landing forces to invade the two planetary shield generators at the north and south poles respectively to paralyze the shield from the inside." Well...... In this case, some Cyberlux battle body formations will need to be dispatched, the scientific and technological level of this planet is very high, and the ground defense forces in the Swalker hub are estimated to be difficult to gnaw. ”
"No need." When Gray Wind was sitting and deploying, Russell, who didn't speak much during the whole process, suddenly spoke: "I'll go, it's more efficient for me to go in person to turn off the planetary shield." ”
Russell doesn't care much about the cards of kings and generals, as long as he can make the implementation of the plan more efficient, he as the supreme leader does not mind going down to tear up the miscellaneous soldiers himself.
Didn't the emperor personally go into battle and cut down the green skin?
"You're going in person? How can this be...... All right. Gray Wind subconsciously wanted to object, but when he saw Russell's unquestioning eyes, he had no choice but to stop, "Then my sub-process will accompany you." ”
"Okay." Russell has no objection.
After destroying the meagre space power of the Swalker Hub, the dense fleet of the Federation Navy hovered into orbit on the planet, and Russell left the cabin accompanied by Grey Wind, ready to tear a small hole in the planetary shield directly with psionic spells and enter the atmosphere.
But before he could set off, Greywind suddenly received a signal from the ground of the Swalker Hub.
It was a communication request, and the brief message was translated into a question:
"Who are you? Why attack us? We didn't offend you! ”
"Interesting." Russell happily made Grey Wind accept the Swalker Hub's communication request, and the holographic projection projected an off-white alien organism with a humanoid appearance, but only 4 fingers per hand, and completely smooth skin, in front of Russell, who was the spokesperson of the Swalker Hub.
As the fin on the forehead of the creature in the holographic projection opened and closed, Grey Wind simultaneously translated what he said to Russell:
"Are you from outside the universe? The records of our ancestors tell us that there is a greater world beyond the universe, but we can't get out of it......"
"Why are you attacking us? We have always lived in this small universe, living our lives without any quarrel with the world, we have never had any conflicts with anyone, is there any misunderstanding between us? ”
Looking at the confused and innocent look of the humanoid creature in the projection, Russell was even happier. So he answered the other party's question seriously: "We are indeed from outside the universe, from a much wider galaxy, and we have built the L-Gate to travel back and forth between the two universes.
As for why we are attacking you...... This is because there are some changes in the big universe outside, and my race is about to suffer a catastrophe. I'm confident that I'm going to face this disaster, but it's always a good idea to prepare a way out. And your universe, this miniature galaxy, is my retreat. ”
Russell paused for a moment and continued: "You didn't do anything wrong, and you didn't offend me, it's just that we are trying to rob you of your living space nowhere. ”
After Grey Wind translated Russell's words, the spokesperson of the Swalker Hub hesitated for a moment, and then engaged in a discussion with the other clansmen around him, and in the course of this discussion, the solemn look on his face gradually faded.
Finally he returned to the newsletter with a smile on his face, and said to Russell: "We sympathize with the calamity that has befallen you! After discussion, we agreed that we can accept you, and that our two races can live together in this safe little universe created by our ancestors, where there are enough resources and space for both races to share......"
"You seem to have some misunderstanding of the current situation." Russell interrupted him: "We have not come to coexist with you, nor have we had any reason to coexist, and we cannot tolerate any intelligent race other than ourselves to live in the same universe as us. ”
"Give up your illusions, kid, I'm here to kill you all, that's all."
How can you speak, it's not a human thing, and you deserve to breathe?
