I Am the Swarm

The war between civilizations is also a process of learning from each other, learning from each other's strengths.

Just as the Swarm learns the propulsion system, observation system, and computer hardware and software systems of the Rickon, the Rickon will learn from the Swarm.

On this day, the electromagnetic guns of the Rickon tribe fired at the alien forces for the first time. This moment is enough to be recorded in the annals of history, recording a new chapter of the turning point of the war.

"Fire!" As the commander of the First Army of the Space Fleet and one of the most powerful figures of the Riken tribe, Khamis was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to issue a firing command.

——

"Is this what Lord Juggernaut said about learning from the barbarians to control the barbarians?" Seeing the thousands of cannons roaring from the Liken tribe, Sarah didn't feel nervous at all, but instead laughed.

There were some black lines on Morgan's forehead, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, although the meaning is the same, but if you say this from the perspective of the Riken people, we seem to be in a not so good position."

"Hehe, they will soon find out that we can do the same trick."

The electromagnetic projectile only brought out a little electric spark when it came out of the chamber, and the subsequent flight was silent. More than 2,000 projectiles crossed the vast starry sky and flew towards the Izumosei 14 satellite.

Although the Taigu class on the orbit of the cloud star is lying motionless, it is the same as the battleship. The flight time of the projectile is too long. As long as you move your body a little, you can dodge the shelling. Aiming at them is not worth the candle.

As for Izumo Star, there are many satellites, and the current shooting field of view and angle, the best one is the swarm creation on the 14th satellite.

The distance between the two sides is hundreds of millions of kilometers, and the projectile deviates by one millimeter when it exits the chamber. After flying through this distance, it is unknown where it went. The No. 14 satellite is not big, with a diameter of only over a thousand kilometers. Half of the first round of projectiles from the Rickens even flew past the satellite.

The insect swarm didn't respond to this kind of attack on grandma's house, and neither did the Riken tribe, which was originally used for positioning.

After the information feedback, the second round of shelling was sent out soon.

The accuracy of this round of shelling has improved a lot, and the threat has naturally increased a lot, but the swarm has long been prepared.

Some new combat units lifted off and hovered after reaching an altitude of thousands of kilometers. Their bodies were round and shaped like an eyeball, so they were named laser eye worms.

When the electromagnetic projectile is approaching, they quickly adjust the angle of their bodies, and a beam of red laser is shot from the hole in the body, melting the projectile.

For today's swarms, according to the relevant laser generation theory, it is not difficult to evolve them into real objects. However, due to the limitations of biological materials, the effective strike distance of the swarm version of the laser defense weapon is much lower than that of the Riken version, only fifty kilometers.

Fortunately, the swarm version is more flexible. Unlike the immobile behemoth of the Rickon version, the swarm version is much smaller. When they were first born, they were just a box-shaped object of more than ten centimeters. They were like fruits growing on a special creep, and they would absorb nutrients and grow up.

When they grow to a size of 10 meters, they have reached a mature standard, with an effective range of 50 kilometers. Although they can continue to grow, they consume too many resources, and their performance will not improve too much, and their cost performance is too low.

These boxes can exist independently, and can move freely after fusing the engine components, so they can arrive and wait in advance according to the calculated trajectory, and strike when the projectile enters the effective range.

At the same time, they can also be integrated into the space octopus, but because of its own size and energy consumption limitations, it can only be integrated into the Taikoo at present. The shipborne laser defense array that the Riken people have been thinking about was completed first by the swarm.

However, in addition to the short range, it also has the disadvantages common to laser weapons, and it consumes too much energy. The laser eye worm that exists independently only has three rounds of power after charging. That is to say, they shoot down three electromagnetic projectiles at most at a time, and they need to be recharged.

The recharging method can lie on the corpse by itself, but the speed is relatively slow, and it takes several days to recharge the energy. If you want to recharge quickly, you can only connect the creep.

This is also the reason why they can only be integrated into the Taikoo class at present. The Taikoo class has its own atomic furnace, which can be quickly recharged to barely maintain consumption.

The Zerg Swarm's move to control the barbarians and return them to the other side stunned the high-ranking officers of the Riken tribe.

"They must be fakes made by analyzing our laser defense array on Star Lazer."

"Now it can be confirmed 100%, the other party is not a native race at all."

"I've already said that statement is pure nonsense!"

"Hmph, the opponent's defensive array is much smaller than ours. Maybe they have already existed, but they have not been used."

"It makes sense. Our energy beam weapons couldn't intercept them before, and even if the opponent had such weapons, they couldn't show them off."

"Okay, this is not some advanced technology, and it's normal for the other party to have it, so don't be fooled."

"Then the attack will continue?"

"Of course, they won't let us idle, and we won't let them idle either."

In this way, the Zerg Swarm and the Riken Tribe, the two sides began their daily life of attacking and intercepting.

However, although it seems that the two sides have back and forth, the actual consumption level is not the same. Take the wear and tear of key parts as an example, the Rikens can only be replaced with new components, but the swarm unit only needs to be metabolized. If things go on like this, the Rikens will definitely be dragged down.

Although there is no word for boiled frogs in warm water in the language of the Liken people, the corresponding reason is still clear. The Rikens were worried, but there was no good solution.

Their warships are assembly line products. The advanced automation industry makes the production simple and efficient. Various modules are poured and formed, then assembled in the space factory, and finally joined in the battle sequence. The whole process is very efficient.

In contrast, the space octopus production of the swarm is somewhat simple and crude. An adult queen can produce several half-meter-high space octopus eggs every day.

After a period of incubation, these eggs will hatch into half-meter-long larvae. Next to the spawning room, there is a brooding room made of radiant metal. It belongs to the same key protection unit as the egg room. It is usually located a thousand meters underground and is heavily guarded.

In this safe environment, the larvae will grow to a length of two meters by absorbing radiation, and then they will be driven out of the brood chamber to reach the surface of the planet, where they will continue to grow by absorbing space radiation.

When they grow to five meters, they will become a glorious larval cannon fodder, and at the same time, they will also be qualified to continue their development in the close orbit of the gaseous planet.

Here, they will continue to develop, and if there is no battle or death in battle, they can grow into a Taikoo class as time goes by.

Therefore, if the Rikens and the Zerg Swarm develop at the same time, the streamlined fleet of the Rikens will become more effective in the early stage, but once the time exceeds a certain point, what the Zerg Swarm will show will shock everyone.
