I Am the Swarm

But the Rickon missiles don't stop there.

These missiles may have considered this point at the beginning of their design. Under the command of the Rikens, the artificial intelligence immediately changed its tactics. The on-board computers of all battleships and functional ships form a regional network, and the amount of calculation is maximized.

Two missiles surrounded it up and down, and a space octopus was about to dodge, but the missile suddenly exploded, and the flames engulfed the space octopus.

The rest of the space octopuses being tracked by the missile immediately moved further away from these guys, not giving them a chance to get close at all.

But while they are avoiding missiles, their own flight paths are also restricted.

A space octopus was trying to avoid the missiles, but two energy beams came suddenly, blocking all its evasion routes, and it was unavoidable, and was blown up in the air.

Sometimes when both sides have similar weapons and equipment, the only thing that can determine the outcome is the amount of information and calculations.

At this time, although the Liken tribe had a slight advantage in the amount of calculations, their information was too little.

The biotechnology of the swarm naturally has its shortcomings, but it also has its own advantages.

These space octopuses are precious space units, not consumables like "cannon fodder".

Those space octopuses that were blown up didn't actually die. They were originally derived from the creep, and their entire bodies were covered with strains that could serve as network node units.

As long as these strains do not all die, the space octopuses will not die. They only need to float in space to absorb radiation and replenish energy, and they can slowly recover.

Even if it is beaten to pieces, it can be glued back together and restored.

Although this recovery speed is relatively slow, they can also absorb each other to increase the recovery speed.

As long as the war ends and the swarm is the one that sweeps the battlefield, the swarm will only get stronger and stronger.

And an army that wants to wipe out the insect swarm must "clean up" the battlefield while winning the war.

Obviously, the Rikens would not know this. The swarm's follow-up reinforcements continued, and the Rikens had no chance to clean up the battlefield other than being exhausted or escaping.

However, this round of torpedo missile attack disrupted the attack rhythm of the swarm. At least 20% of the space octopuses lost the ability to fight again.

——

This type of war is not only the first time for the Rickon tribe, it is also the first time for the Zerg Swarm. Therefore, in general, this war is also a test of the swarm space combat unit, a check to fill in the gaps.

At this time, there is no need to care about the existence of chess watcher forces. The swarm wants to step onto the big stage of the universe. These things cannot be hidden and will be exposed sooner or later.

It is impossible for Rowan to limit the swarm to a low-level force in order to deceive the possible advanced civilization. What the bug swarm needs to cover up is not these normally developed technologies, but something that does not belong to this world.

That is the swarm network. Its root is the extraordinary ability of another world, which is unique in this world. This is the root of the swarm and must not be exposed.

For this reason, all space combat units, regardless of size, are equipped with information receiving systems.

This is a new system based on deflected light transmission information, which is derived from the original star Pipi shrimp. The information is transmitted through tens of millions of color combinations, and then received by the visual capture system of more than 20 primary colors.

In addition, electromagnetic waves, body movements, etc. have added corresponding information transmission modes, which are enough for the swarms to communicate and interact in a timely manner during battle.

Of course, these are just for outsiders to see. In fact, the real command of the overall situation is still done through the swarm network.

But these things must be available, in case the opponent captures a few swarm combat units in the chaos, goes back and dissects them, and finds that these things don't even have an interactive system. So how do they work together? This makes it easy to expose exceptions.

"Master Master, our space octopus is still too weak to break through the fire blockade," Sarah said.

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, we still have too few atomic furnaces." Morgan sighed.

Yes, if all adult space octopuses can be equipped with atomic furnaces, at least their endurance can be improved qualitatively. At that time, there is no need for such a reckless charge, at least you can release the electromagnetic gun cover while charging.

Fortunately, although those ancient-level space octopuses were destroyed, their atomic furnaces were still intact. Because the atomic furnaces are hidden at the back of their bodies when penetrating the defense, even if the main cannon of the Rickens can destroy its front armor, the remaining power of the energy beam will be offset by the other space octopuses carried in its belly .

Every destroyed ancient class, their atomic furnace, will be taken out and preserved by an adult that it carried. Then this adult will not participate in the battle, but turns on the stealth protection, silences all energy fluctuations, and floats in space.

This makes them almost impossible to find, preserving the precious atomic furnaces for recovery after the war.

"We don't need to calculate war damage like other civilizations. What we need to do is to win the war, so that we won't have war damage." Biological technology and mechanical technology each have their own advantages. Once the battleship of mechanical civilization is damaged, It is a very troublesome thing to fix.

When they are built, the synthetic materials used are almost difficult to remelt, and sometimes the resources needed to repair a battleship are even more than rebuilding one.

But the swarm doesn't have this trouble. If you are injured, you can just wait for the recovery, and you only need to pay the time cost.

After losing 50% of the space octopus, it finally broke through the firepower net and reached a distance of 1,000 kilometers from the fleet.

However, the remaining space octopuses are all small ones, most of them are juveniles with a body length of less than 20 meters, and even a few adults are only about 50 meters in size.

Those large adults were all given priority to be destroyed just now.

"Send fighter planes to intercept!" General Massai gave an order, and densely packed fighter planes flew out of the cabin. There are a huge number of these fighter planes, and each warship has flown at least 500 of them, and the total number is close to 20,000.

Among these fighters, a small number of them are more than eight meters long, and they are piloted by real people, while the rest are all five-meter-long drones.

Each eight-meter fighter is equipped with nine drones. These ten fighters are commanded by Riken pilots and assisted by artificial intelligence. They form an attack formation, cover each other, and coordinate attacks.

The densely packed fighter planes flew out, and there were more space octopuses than the remaining space octopuses in the swarm, and they immediately took advantage of the numbers.
