I Am the Swarm

Looking at Khamis, who was frowning and thinking, as if he was asking him to himself, Novaru thought for a while, and then replied: "I should record it and give it back."

"So what's the next step?" Khamis continued to ask.

This time Novaru also thought for a long time: "I didn't pay much attention to this before, but I think this problem will be sent to the scientific research department, and they will make improvements to the defects. If there is a result, the solution will be passed to the space shipyard Things like that. These things will be reflected in the battleships they produce in the future."

"So what about the battleships before this?"

"That depends on the size of the defect. If it's a minor problem, maybe our ship's engineers can solve it. If it's a structural flaw, it might be that they will return to the shipyard for upgrades and repairs in batches." Novalu shrugged. Shrugging his shoulders, he already understood what Khamis meant.

"Then, in their eyes, is the stealth coating of the smart mine a big problem, or a small problem?"

"I'm not sure about that." Novaru shook his head.

"Our intelligence shows that the Zerg troops we are about to face were sent by them more than 20 years ago. In other words, these troops have spent most of these years wandering in the void. And there is It is impossible to have a Zerg shipyard." Khamis thought for a while and continued.

"But their last troop couldn't detect smart mines, but now this troop has been able to ignore the stealth coating. This shows that either this problem is just a small problem in the eyes of the opponent. But this possibility is very small, the radar upgrade It is a very troublesome thing, and it is impossible to complete it silently. Then the rest may be..."

"The rest may be that the other party was acting last time. They were able to detect the smart mine from the very beginning, but they pretended not to see it in order to lower our vigilance. So they used their tricks and followed our trap into Lazer Star. These Things can be matched with the other party's actions. It's just that they may not have expected that we will detonate so many new nuclear bombs." Novalu took Khamis' words and expressed what the other party wanted to say.

The commanders of the three major fleets, even Arser, who is irritable and violent, are not people with low IQ. Their current positions cannot be achieved by tricks.

"It may indeed be the case, but the other party is so cunning, and the technological content of those nuclear weapons is not high, it is impossible for them not to consider these variables. Would you rashly bury a large number of troops under such circumstances?" Khamis frowned asked.

Novaru thought about it for a while: "It depends on what can be gained. If the gain is large enough, I may choose to take the risk. But is Lazer Star worth this kind of risk? Even if we don't use nuclear weapons, Lazer Star is In our territory, how long can the other party last without help?"

As he talked, Novaru also had many questions.

"Yeah, this is what I can't figure out. The risk is not proportional to the benefit, but the other party did this. Assuming the other party is not a fool, it means that the other party must have something to do..." As he spoke, Khamis' voice gradually decreased, and he seemed to be lost in thought again.

"Isn't their goal Lazer Star?" Novaru asked, after thinking about it, he was also a little confused.

"I can't figure it out either, but there must be something in it that we don't know. The opponent's troops don't move sooner or later. I'm deeply worried about this." Khamis was a little dignified.

"Perhaps their real purpose has already been achieved. If this guess is true, we don't even know what their purpose is. This is not good news for us." Novalu also frowned, with a serious look on his face.

"I hope we are worrying too much. But let's pass these speculations on to Arser, and let him be more careful in front. At the same time, we have to strengthen our vigilance, especially on Lazer, in case there are any problems here. "

Novaru nodded and agreed: "I will notify you."

The actions of the Third Fleet to slow down the speed of the swarm troops hardly played any role when the smart mines failed and they did not dare to get too close.

In this case, there is no need to continue wandering there. It is better to return to the Lazer star defense base for overhaul, maintain the best condition, and wait for the arrival of the swarm troops.

The course of the swarm troops has been calculated.

Their purpose is very clear and there is no cover. The swarm troop had a chance to bypass the Lazer star's defense line, but they didn't do so. Instead, they deliberately circled around. When they reached the orbit of the Lazer star, the Lazer star also arrived.

"Their goal is still Lazer Star. What is it that attracts them here?"

"Maybe I just want to lay down a forward position." Novaru shook his head, even he himself didn't believe this statement.

Lazer Star is only the ninth planet in the Rickon Galaxy, and there is Planet No. 10 in the outer circle. Although it is a little smaller, it should still be possible as a foothold. Moreover, the Liken tribe has almost no defenses there, and the difficulty of occupation is very low.

But the other party was so obsessed with Lazer Star, in his mind, he must have other purposes.

"There is always a sense of foreboding," Khamis murmured.

——

On the other side, Sarah looked at the Rikens who were waiting in front of them. There were not only the three major fleets and the ground defense system of Lazer, but also the newly built orbital defense circle.

A large number of rail guns are deployed on it, and smart mines are also covered on some routes to attack Lazer Star.

"It's really going all out, but this planet is ours, drive them away!"

With a single order, tens of thousands of Taikoo-class troops pressed forward, and in the flash of an electric arc, tens of thousands of electromagnetic cannons exploded, taking advantage of the range advantage, to launch the attack first.

Except for the faint sound and light effect when the electromagnetic projectile is fired, it is silent in flight. However, with the current level of technology of the Likens, they will be monitored the moment they come out of the chamber, and then various parameters will be added to calculate their trajectory.

If you are fighting guerrilla warfare in an open area, these projectiles are relatively easy to dodge.

But in the positional battle at this time, the power of the electromagnetic gun will be magnified many times. Those rail guns and land-based cannons on the surface of the planet do not have the flexible evasion ability of the battleship.

Fortunately, the Rickens had thought of this situation in advance, and the orbital guns were hidden behind Lazer and its satellites in advance, waiting for the swarm troops to reach the range before moving out to defend.

Therefore, in the first round of strikes, the Lazer star defense facility, which was originally at the rear of the line of defense, was the first to be attacked.
