I Am the Swarm

In terms of numbers alone, the losses of the Zerg Swarm seem to be several times that of the Duoqi Clan, but in terms of actual battle losses, the Zerg Swarm is really not a loss, and it can even be said to be a big profit.

Calculated by level, the insect swarm lost most of the space octopuses of the 500-700-meter level, but the losses of the Doki were all giant battleships of about 2,000 meters. Regardless of the body length, it seems that there is not much difference. , but the difference in tonnage can be ten times or even dozens of times.

In terms of tonnage, the Duoqi tribe suffered a big loss.

There are reasons for this to be possible.

Surprise is one aspect, but if there is no hard power to meet, no amount of tricks will be useless.

The external reactive armor of the Duoqi battleship is specially developed based on energy weapons, and has a very high resistance, otherwise it would not be able to resist the barrage of guns.

As for the swarm, there was no trick at all, and they relied entirely on armor to resist. If it was replaced by the Taikoo class decades ago, the battle damage would definitely be more than the current ones, and the number might increase dozens of times. Even the Doki tribe can completely wipe out the Yunxing Zerg base at a very small cost.

But in the first battle of Razer Star more than ten years ago, the swarm combat troops broke through the obstacles of the Riken tribe, and finally planted creep on Razer Star. Afterwards, those creeps could be bombarded day and night by the Rickens.

During this period, the swarm collected a large amount of data, and the genetic structure of the creeps was also adjusted. The resulting external manifestation was that the Rickens found that it was becoming more and more difficult for the energy beam bombing to cause damage to the creeps. In this case, use "Rikon's Radiance" to completely vaporize and clear it.

But all the previous data had already been uploaded through the swarm network, and then the external armor of the swarm combat units underwent a comprehensive upgrade.

After that, Rowan even mobilized some intelligent bodies to be responsible for testing and upgrading the outer armor of space combat units. They have several special underground experiment sites in the rear for research.

There have been several small upgrades to the Space Octopus' outer armor over the years, but they have not been battle-tested, and there has been no feedback on new large campaign data to know how they will actually perform.

Later, the second Lazer star battle was considered a moderately intense battle. Unfortunately, the troops participating in the battle were sent from the neighboring galaxy early, and they did not have the energy and resources to carry out this wave of armor upgrades. .

After that, the war ended, and the Rickon tribe retreated all the way to the double-star defense line. The combat troops on the swarm's side had completed the upgrade work because they had obtained resource stars, but the two sides had entered a confrontation, and there was no large-scale confrontation again. Not even a low-intensity war.

Therefore, although the swarm did not deliberately hide in terms of armor, it did not show it because they had not fought. Until now, the Doki clan hit the jackpot.

It was the first time the Duoqi tribe fought against the insects, although they felt that the opponent's defense level seemed to be much higher than the intelligence. But I just thought it was an intelligence error and didn't think much about it.

But the Rickens who were watching the big drama at the side really noticed something, but they are a little confused now, is the world changing too fast? Or has the other party been releasing water? You can't think deeply about this question, otherwise you will be the one who will be hurt in the end.

However, the performance of synthetic metals in resisting energy attacks is indeed much stronger than that of living organisms. This is an inherent limitation, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in the swarm. At that time, reverse the material of the reactive armor, and the biological armor of the swarm should usher in a wave of small upgrades.

And fighting is not just about looking at the comparison of weapons and armor. For example, if the battleship of the Doki tribe is damaged, it is really damaged. Not to mention those that were completely blown up, but those whose engines were damaged and lost their ability to move, even though their structures were still intact, had to obediently self-destruct or wait for dismantling. These were real losses.

But on the Zerg Swarm side, although many combat units withdrew from the battlefield, most of them withdrew because they could not recover for a short period of time. So far, none of them have truly died completely. They don't have any particularly obvious fatal weaknesses, as long as the node strains all over the body are not completely destroyed, there is a chance to recover slowly, it's just a matter of time.

Some of them, such as most of the body tissue were penetrated, and the engine, radar and other systems were damaged, but the weapon system was relatively well preserved. After simple restoration, they can continue to join the battlefield.

Diallo obviously also knows the characteristics of a part of the swarm. He has to pull away and forcibly distance himself in order to regain the initiative.

While the artillery was roaring, the two sides exchanged several rounds of mutual fire. The firing frequency was basically maintained at three rounds for the Doki tribe and two rounds for the swarm.

The battle damage of the two battles also continued to increase. During this period, the Duoqi fleet lost more than 200 warships, and the Zerg Swarm also had thousands of Taikoo-class retreated from the battlefield.

But Diallo obviously couldn't accept such an exchange of troops, but fortunately, they will soon turn to the back of Izumo, and by then, with the help of Izumo's cover, they may have re-planned the route and accelerated their evacuation.

"Your Majesty, although our Taikoo-class still maintains its firepower output, more than 70% of its engine systems have been damaged to some extent, and its mobility is limited. Once they go around the back of Izumo, we can chase the Taikoo-class Not much." A blade said with some concern.

Sarah stared at the battlefield, first calculated a little bit, and then said: "Let all the active Taigu class bite them! The rest will enter the overload state, regardless of damage, try to shoot it for a few more rounds."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

——

"Your Highness, the Zergs are catching up, but judging from the confrontation just now, their losses are much more serious than we imagined. More than 70% of them have not moved, and they are suspected of being incapacitated." Summarize the information sent by the department and report to Diallo in time.

"Huh... I knew it was impossible for them to lose such a small amount, but even so, it was too different from the description in the intelligence. Do you think the suzerain deliberately wanted to harm us?" Diallo's mind diverged, and he thought of several times. A place so high.

"I don't think it's necessary. It should just be a simple misinformation or the Zerg has been hiding their clumsiness before. They deliberately increased the battle damage with the Riken, which led to our misjudgment." Asrit whispered, but complained in her heart The suzerain really wanted to harm him, so why did he need so many twists and turns.

"You're right, it's really hateful, what was this Zerg guarding against before? Do you need to be so cautious?"
