Chapter 217: Blue Fire
The swarm attacked, and it took only ten seconds from appearing on the holographic scanning radar to killing the outermost hundred kilometers of the base's defense line. The ground was instantly covered with black and red spiders, and the green-based screamers obscured the last rays of the sky.
"Young man, it's war!"
"Phew!"
The fighters quickly moved into their defensive positions.
The first to fire are all of the base's automatic guns, which can provide powerful fire coverage at 10,000 energy degrees. The entire base has fifty heavy guns, forming an artillery array, which can provide all-round ground fire coverage, while also maintaining the tradition of 2533, that is, the dual firing mode, when needed, can be replaced with special kinetic energy shells, shelling in mixed mode, each shot can reach up to 30,000 degrees.
The ghost base is obviously not broken by the swarm with a normal onslaught, otherwise the entire base cannot be so complete, obviously in the base, there are some ulterior secrets, so that the swarm launched a massacre with almost no resistance from the base personnel. And maybe the swarm was worried that the situation would be too bad and the tough guy troops would simply abandon Douglas's retreat, so they deliberately did not destroy the power core and the facilities throughout the base.
Although this will make the tough guy team fall into a deeper trap, it also gives the tough guy team a possibility to resist. As for whether the final result is the swarm or the tough guy troops fighting their way out of the encirclement, the key depends on how long the tough guy troops can resist, and how long the support from the previous finger will arrive.
The battle goes straight to the heat at the beginning, with the Ghost Base built on the only high ground in a flat plain. It is surrounded by endless plains. The original intention was to take advantage of such terrain to facilitate the rapid landing of troops. Reinforcement from all sides, but after losing air superiority, such a flat ground became the best frontier for galloping in the swarm.
Fifty heavy cannons can't stop the swarm like a tidal wave, and Podol has to switch half of the heavy artillery to hybrid mode to increase the strength of the attack, but with energy weapons dominant, even the physical ammunition reserves of the ghost base can't last long.
But before the kinetic physical shells are exhausted, a 30,000-degree artillery bombardment can launch a head-on attack on the swarm.
The swarm took only three minutes. Already close to the ghost base, the turret began to fire.
The entire base has a hundred machine turrets, which are fully automatically controlled by the light brain, and its power is comparable to Thor's "Punisher", but the rate of fire is a little slower - this is not because the rate of fire cannot be increased, but considering the problem of combat durability, this relatively low-speed machine gun was finally chosen, which will make the machine gun turret play a more effective role, after all, there is a difference between the battlefield functions of fixed defense equipment and mobile combat robots.
When the swarms on the ground are under artillery bombardment, trading huge casualties for space. The Screamer had already reached the skies above the base first, but with a protective shield. They can't be breached yet. But if the protective shield is attacked all the time, it will not last long, and now the tough guy troops have to do as much as possible to kill the screamer before the protective shield is broken.
The air defense of any base is the top priority, and the defense facilities of the entire ghost base are large and small, and all kinds of air defense cannons and energy missile towers are all over the base, and when the protective shield can still play a role, these air defense equipment can be slaughtered to the fullest, so that the screamers suffer heavy losses.
But this is unlikely to last long.
"Boss, the Energy Shield Protector Generator has reached the yellow line! I can hold on for a few more minutes at most!" sent a message from the Big Mouth guarding the Energy Shield Shield.
"Once the generator is on forced cooldown, I'll find a way to restart it as quickly as possible!" said Podor as he fired into the air.
Now that the ground swarm is still blocked from the automatic defense circle, there is no need for the fighters of the tough guy unit to worry for the time being, the real trouble is the screamers overhead.
"I understand!" Big Mouth looked at the generator that had begun to smoke in front of him, and smiled bitterly, but he also knew that how long everyone could hold on would ultimately depend on the protective cover, if there was no protective cover, it would be a miracle that the base could last more than ten minutes.
Unfortunately, before the photonic revolution, the performance of the photon shield was not only low, but the popularity rate was surprisingly low, and the performance of the old plasma shield was not satisfactory. Like the situation that the tough guy troops are encountering now, the large photon shield in Xiao Ming's era, even if the base does not fight back at all, can block the crazy attack of the insect swarm for more than half an hour, and the photon shield itself does not conflict with any other form of shield, once the photon shield generator is forced to cool down, it can be temporarily blocked with other shields. There are even some large bases and large starships that are very arrogant with two photon shields, and their defense capabilities have skyrocketed.
Unfortunately, in addition to the plasma shield and the photon shield, it will interfere with the same plasma shield of the same kind, so it is impossible to install two. Once it enters the forced cooldown, it can only resist hard.
Five minutes later, the pale blue shield flickered a few times before vanishing.
The swarm let out a tsunami-like screech and launched an even more frantic offensive.
"Everyone, fight!" Bodol roared.
Thor and Arclight also began to fight, without the protective shield, the entire sky over the base became a hunting ground for the Screamers, and the fighters of the tough guy unit would have their heads cut off by the Screamers of the sonic raid if they were not careful, and the protective shield had only been broken for a minute, and more than a dozen fighters had died.
And with the interference and destruction of the Screamers, there are holes in the ground defenses, and the spider worms have pressed down to the outer walls of the base. The fighters of the tough guy unit rushed up the fence and fired, but they could only stop for a while - there were too few people. More than 300 people want to defend a base with a strength of 10,000 people, which is simply not enough. This is also because there are a large number of automatic defense facilities, otherwise it may not even be able to hold it for a few minutes.
"Big mouth, how long will it take to reboot the shield!" Podol yelled at the Sky.
"Boss, it's going to take five minutes!" Big Mouth wanted to pounce on the generator to speed up the cooling, but even with ultra-low temperature coolant, it was impossible to completely cool down the generator that was almost burned in a short period of time.
"We don't have five minutes!" said Podol.
"Captain, let Thor come and help me!" At this moment, Xiao Ming's voice appeared in Podol's ears.
"Oyin, send me a Thor to help Xiao Ming outside the training room, quick!" Podol didn't ask Xiao Ming what he was going to do. This is his trust in Xiao Ming.
Oyin immediately transferred a Thor to the outside of the training room, only to see seven or eight huge jars standing outside the training room, each of which was estimated to hold several tons of things.
"Throw this jar outside, throw it as far away as possible, and be careful not to get hit before you throw it out, you know?" Xiao Ming said to the warrior who operated Thor.
Xiao Ming and Remidios have a very special status in the tough guy army, their words are often the same as Podol's direct orders, and the soldier who operates Thor is a veteran of the original 177 Company, so naturally he will not have any objections, and he will run to the outer wall with a big jar.
Fortunately, Thor's own air defense ability is extremely strong, and the Screamers are now more attackers, so Thor ran all the way to the edge of the outer wall without any hindrance at all.
"With the maximum power output, you must throw it away!" Xiao Ming once again advised.
The warrior in Thor immediately adjusted the light brain command, Thor's predecessor was actually a construction robot, coupled with the need for battlefield assistance, its power output was extremely perverted, so this five-ton big jar was thrown out a few hundred meters away by this Thor.
Of course, the swarm saw the jar, but they didn't care, the way the swarm attacked was to attack, attack and attack, and it didn't matter what the humans did.
But soon the bugs regretted their habits.
When the jar hit the ground, it was immediately shattered, revealing a large amount of clear liquid.
"Terig, flame charges, shoot!" Xiao Ming ordered.
Terege reacted quickly, immediately replacing the bullet and hitting the fragments of the jar with a single shot.
Suddenly, a dark blue lit up the entire kilometer area south of the ghost base, and the sudden blue flames spread wildly in all directions. In an instant, the insect swarm fell into hell, and the blue flowers bloomed in the darkness, accompanied by the incessant screams of the insects, blooming along the surface of the earth in an instant, and then slowly expanding!
There was no smoke, no sound of any flame burning, not even temperature. If it weren't for the bright blue, it wouldn't even be noticeable. But when it spread, it wiped out the entire southern front of the insect colony.
The flames were quiet, but the swarm was boiling, and the warriors could see the spiders struggling and screaming under such flames, and then turning into a pile of ashes. Those insects with only a little blue fire on their bodies are the most miserable, the blue fire can't burn them to death for a while, but it stubbornly sticks to their bodies, burrowing into their bodies, no matter how they roll, how they dodge, how howling, the blue flames are still not in a hurry, slowly burning, under the terrifying power, there is a strange elegance.
The warriors were stunned at first, and then cheered in unison.
Who cares what is in the jar, who cares how miserable the bugs are, in the eyes of humans, only dead bugs are good bugs, as for the rest, it doesn't matter.
"The effect is good, pour this thing into the injector, be careful, this thing is very flammable, and it is more dangerous than ordinary fuel!" Xiao Ming didn't use the injector at first because he was worried that it would be useless, but now that it has proved effective, he will naturally not be polite.
There are flamethrowers in the defense facilities of the base, but the general flames below 3,000 degrees are not a big threat to the insects, even if they reach 4,000 degrees, they cannot quickly kill the insects, so the flamethrower itself is designed to clean up the corpses of insects, so that the insects do not step on the corpses and rush to the wall. But now with this terrifying solution, flamethrowers can be used to their senses. (To be continued......)
