Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 205 Chapter 204 Archimedes Cannon

Five of the six Erdo reconnaissance ships were obtained. The incarnations took out more than forty complete corpses from the battleships. When these corpses were put together, they fell silent.

Five of the more than forty corpses actually had the same face, and the personnel in each reconnaissance ship were exactly the same as the other one.

This is such a strong smell of industrial production line manufacturing, as if everything from the reconnaissance ship to the operator is a product manufactured on an assembly line.

"To be honest, I have a bad feeling." The incarnation in charge of this battle said: "Maybe the Eduans are less afraid of losses than us."

"What is this? The Clone Wars?"

"With this kind of technology, why not just build AI units? Why do we need to build such complicated human clones?"

"We cannot use our value to blind others. Under different technical levels, the specific technical costs may undergo a shocking reversal, just like the price of aluminum plummeted after the electrolytic aluminum technology matured, and the cost of human cloning in Erdo

Probably cheaper than building AI robots."

While everyone was talking about it, the explorer sent an enemy report: "The enemy is coming. This time the large fleet is passing through. There are fifteen fleets in total, each fleet has between 360 and 450 warships.

"

Then the explorer hesitantly sent another piece of information, writing in a very uncertain tone: "The reconnaissance ships that fought with us before were all carried by large battleships. Maybe we have to redefine this type of reconnaissance unit."

"In addition, I also discovered a special situation. Except for the thirteen main ships and reconnaissance ships, there are absolutely no two similar warships among Erdo's large warships. Each one has a strange shape and various weapon configurations, and there is no sense of order and beauty of industrial civilization.

.”

Aburame Tetsumaru and the others couldn't help but look at each other in shock after receiving this notice, but they quickly forgot about it. The war was about to begin. They would not consider these issues until after the war was over.

…

Forty million octopus worms form two layers of huge nine-square grid, suspended quietly in the void. But if you can accurately compare it with the Purple Thunder Star, you will find that the entire swarm is flying forward at a speed of 500 kilometers per second.

.

Suddenly, pieces of octopus worms in the swarm burst out with bright light, forming spots of light about ten kilometers in diameter.

The octopus in the center of the light spot barely had time to struggle before the light burned through its skin, and then exploded to pieces in the violent boiling of its body fluids.

The octopus outside the light spot was quickly burnt by the light, and its skin was scorched black. It saw large blisters swollen and struggled violently. Fortunately, it was in the void, so no matter how hard it struggled, it did not affect its speed.

Not to mention injured octopus bugs, even dead bug corpses remain in their original positions and continue to provide protection for the bugs behind them.

The continuous flashing light spots are scorching the insect swarm, causing hundreds of casualties every second.

However, as the number of insect corpses gradually increased, a group of scorpions in the insect swarm turned the corpses into a mist that could refract light, and the damage caused by the light spots was constantly decreasing.

These spots are laser cannons fired by the enemy from a million kilometers away. Unlike in the atmosphere on the surface of the planet, there are no particles that can form the Tyndall effect in space, so the trajectory of the laser cannot be seen.

Only when the insect swarm was irradiated by the laser and their bodies inevitably emitted part of the laser, did the incarnation of Aburame Tetsumaru know that it was being attacked.

In this case, no matter how brave the avatars are, they cannot stand in the front row. Standing in the trajectory of the enemy's bullets at this time can only show their stupidity, so they start from the back of the insect swarm and direct the insect swarm to endure

For this enemy's attack, try to get as close to the enemy as possible.

As the fog created by the scorpions gradually increased, the damage that a laser beam could cause dropped to single digits. After more than half an hour, the enemy stopped shooting and stayed in place waiting for the insect swarm to approach.

At this point, the value of the fake star ring is shown. If there is no target that the enemy must attack to hook the enemy, they will probably retreat, turn around at any angle, so that the insect swarm is forced to shake off the fog, and then continue to attack Wu Zhi.

An unstoppable swarm of insects.

After flying kites in this cycle, the insect swarm could only retreat on its own initiative, shrink back to the Purple Thunder Star and the Ninja World, and fight a defensive battle with the enemy, each fighting a defensive battle on its own.

…

"Your Majesty General, the entire fleet has been charged up. Do you want to resume the attack?"

"Don't worry, wait until the barbarian bugs get closer and maximize the firepower."

General Erdo continued: "After the next round, if the barbarians continue to advance, we will retreat."

"But General, this is already the ninth day, and this is the third time the Archbishop has urged us to speed up."

General Erdo sneered: "The Archbishop is our leader, but he can only decide whether to start a war. He has no right to interfere in the subsequent matters."

"Knight, you must always keep in mind the lessons of history. War is the domain of our knights. Only the highest-ranking knights have the authority to issue orders on the battlefield. The Archbishop has exceeded his authority."

"Even if I die, the next knight will be responsible. Until the last knight dies, our entire army will be wiped out."

"War is the honor and duty of knights, and it is also the responsibility we must shoulder. We will fight until death, all for the glory of Erdo."

"Yes, Your Majesty General, everything is for the glory of Erdo."

…

At a distance of 200,000 kilometers, the Erdo fleet launched another attack. At this distance, the penetration power of the laser was increased five times. A single shot could not only penetrate the fog, but also continue to penetrate two rows of bugs. Despite the area of ​​the light spot

It has shrunk, but the damage has returned to the three-digit level.

What made the incarnations of Aburame Tetsumaru even more depressed was that when they endured the enemy's bombardment and struggled to support themselves to 100,000 kilometers, the enemy fleet stopped attacking, restarted the power system and retreated.

Dice, who was in charge of the command, was furious with his teeth, but he could only give the order: "Continue to pursue, and we will retreat when the enemy's speed reaches 600 kilometers."

After the enemy's speed reaches the standard, it will take at least eight days for them to turn and return, and the insect swarm will stop chasing. By abandoning part of their mass, they quickly complete the turn and begin to return.

The third expulsion battle is over. The insect swarm has lost more than one million insects. It still cannot get close enough to launch an attack. It just drives the enemy away.

This kite-flying tactic is very satisfying and exciting when used against others, but it is particularly depressing and very demoralizing when targeted by others.

Fortunately, there are only about a dozen avatars and dice in the insect swarm that can be affected by morale. The morale of the insects is very stable.

"Okay, don't be depressed." Dice began to comfort his comrades, "Everyone knows that the preparations for the battle plan we discussed have been completed. Next time we will give them a hard blow."

"It makes me even more depressed just knowing that. I must kill them all." An incarnation signed up full of resentment, "Dice, let me control the Archimedes cannon. I want to shoot to my heart's content, completely.

Put out the fire.”

Dice hehe: "Don't even think about it, we have already agreed on guessing or drawing lots."

Before a group of avatars could surround him, Dice quickly added: "I won't participate. I won't participate this time, okay."

"Long live Dice, you are truly the leader of our tactical team."

"Great, the chance of random inspection is no longer one percent. This time I finally have a chance."

…

Eight days later, the five asteroids connected in series were covered by the insect swarm like a super giant sugar-coated haws of water and moved towards the Erdo fleet that invaded again. This was a little trick prepared by the Aburame Teimaru: the Archimedes cannon.

This actually has the same principle as a small toy. Use a small stick to string five small balls together and drop them vertically from a height of one meter. The top ball will bounce to a height of ten meters.

When the falling height remains unchanged, there are two key factors that affect the ball's bounce height: the mass difference between the ball below and the ball on top, and the elasticity of the sphere. Similar effects can also be seen on Newton's pendulum.

In order to meet the elastic conditions, the Aburame Iron Pills specially selected five asteroids made of meteorite, used the "sun's radiance" to heat the asteroids until they were semi-melted, and then cooled them again to form a rigid whole.

The smallest asteroid was dug into a hollow, and 300 defensive versions of the Thunder Giant Insects were hidden inside as firepower, and then disguised as mass weapons.

The reverse side of the last asteroid was specially dug into a funnel shape, and a large number of mushroom worms were buried in the core of the funnel and sealed with lead.

On the one hand, lead can block radiation and prevent accidental triggering of mushrooms. On the other hand, lead is also used as a thrust medium after the explosion, giving power to the entire system.

…

The fourth expulsion battle was just as boring as the first three battles. Even General Erdo was inevitably a little lax. He was only thinking about the speed of the barbarian star ring construction. He wanted to rush in with all his strength in the first few battles and impose on the star ring.

A fatal blow.

Dice was also calculating nervously, calculating the optimal shooting distance of Archimedes' cannon. When 800,000 kilometers arrived, Dice issued the command: "Fire."

The mushroom worm at the bottom of the funnel pit exploded, and the huge energy pushed the asteroid forward, but was immediately blocked by the asteroid in front, and then the two deformed together and continued to squeeze forward.

When the pressure is transferred to the last asteroid, there is finally no obstacle in front of it. In an instant, the squeezing force of the four asteroids stacked together is released at the same time, and all the momentum is transferred to it through elastic force.

In an instant, the asteroid was accelerated to two thousand kilometers. Adding the speed maintained by the insect swarm, the asteroid was launched towards Erdo's fleet at a speed of two thousand five hundred kilometers per second.

Two seconds later, Erdo's radar system detected the extremely fast approaching celestial body. Alarms sounded in all the battleship command rooms, and Erdo's fleet suddenly panicked.

General Erdo was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He quickly identified the type of alarm and loudly asked the monitoring personnel: "Where is the speed alarm?"

"It was rushed out from the swarm of barbarian insects. It was initially determined to be an extremely high-speed mass weapon. The speed reached 8.4% of the speed of light."

"Calculate the orbit immediately and notify the entire fleet to avoid it."

"The barbarians will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack. Each warship must not turn off its weapon system and wait for my order."

"Yes, General."

Erdo's computer quickly calculated the trajectory of the asteroid, and then directed many battleships to avoid it. For a moment, the battleship's auxiliary power flashed, pushing the battleship to move laterally to make way for the incoming asteroid.

On the asteroid flying at high speed, Aburame Tetsumaru's incarnation finally regained consciousness. The acceleration at that moment made him lose consciousness instantly. The avatar first confirmed the time, and then checked whether the giant thunder insect in the asteroid was in good condition.

.

After inspection, the avatar awakened two hundred and fifteen intact giant thunder bugs and opened the shooting port. The activated giant thunder bugs began to glow, accumulate energy, and prepare to shoot.

When the asteroid was only 50,000 kilometers away from Erdo's fleet, the avatar gave the order to start the attack. Immediately, more than two hundred defensive versions of the giant thunder bugs began to take action. More than thirty legs of the bugs moved in staggered directions.

The tail sends out the shooting port.

On the asteroid that looked like a mass attack, it only took ten seconds for the tail of a two hundred kilometer-long giant thunder insect to appear and turn into a spiked iron ball.

But these spikes were much more powerful than real iron thorns. The giant thunder insect began to splash plasma thunderballs from a distance of 20,000 kilometers, launching more than 5,000 thunderballs in just thirty seconds.

The Erdo fleet was caught off guard and had no idea how to respond. It could only watch as the plasma thunderballs covered its fleet like a rainstorm.

In just thirty seconds, two hundred spacecraft were directly hit in the vital points, exploded and disintegrated in the air, and more than four hundred warships were damaged to varying degrees.

The most serious loss was that the twelve "Ark" warships as the main ships received the most attacks because of their largest size. One of the "Ark" warships was hit by the nozzle of the tail engine room, causing a chain reaction of the power system.

Directly losing mobility.

When the asteroid passed by Erdo's fleet, the avatar responsible for commanding the battle was channeled to him by the dice, avoiding the fate of wandering in the void.

At this time, the order of Erdo's fleet was in chaos. Most of the warships began to act on their own and fled for their lives regardless of General Erdo's orders. In the chaos, an unknown number of warships collided with each other or the wreckage of damaged warships, causing even greater losses.

Thousands of warships were damaged to varying degrees.

Just as General Erdo was trying his best to restore order to the fleet, a high-energy particle beam passed through the airspace of Erdo's fleet and severely damaged two battleships.

Erdo was shocked to realize that they had wasted more than twenty minutes. The insect swarm had approached a dangerous distance of nearly 60,000 kilometers, and a huge battleship appeared in the front row of the insect swarm.

The huge battleship once again fired high-energy particle beams, and at the same time there were eight smaller battleships in the salvo. This time the concentrated firepower finally destroyed one severely damaged battleship.

Faced with the threat of death, all battleships in Erdo's fleet initiated crisis procedures, and all command rights were completely transferred to General Erdo, the supreme commander, and the captains lost their command rights.

The fleet that restored unified command immediately launched a counterattack against the insect swarm, and the two sides officially launched an interstellar battle in which firepower was exchanged.

However, the firepower of the insect swarm was obviously weak, so the insect swarm, as the main force, kept charging forward, braved the laser firepower, and finally came close to its own attack range for the first time.

The octopuses fired canisters desperately, and the enemy battleship's secondary guns and self-defense firepower also opened fire with all their strength, and the battle reached a climax.
