I Am the Swarm

The maintenance cost of a warship is not eye-catching, but the entire defense line, hundreds of billions of warships, the cost of maintenance is a bit staggering. With the current wealth of the Ji family, it is really a heavy burden.

Ever since the first battleship that needed maintenance appeared, the Starport spaceship behind the Ji Clan has never been idle. A large number of warships of the Ji clan are waiting in line for maintenance, but although the number of starport spacecraft of the Ji clan is quite large, and several super-large starports have been built to provide maintenance services for the frontline troops, it is impossible to use hundreds of billions of ships. All the warships are maintained once, even if the consumables are sufficient, the time required is very long.

So it appeared that the first round of maintenance has not yet ended, and some warships have already started the second round of maintenance.

And as time passed, the third round, the fourth round, the fifth round...

In the 780th year of the new era, this offensive and defensive battle has lasted for nearly 300 years, and the wearable materials that the Ji clan had originally stockpiled have been basically exhausted.

Due to the state of being out of mines all the time, they had to dismantle some warships to make new vulnerable components. After all, some warships have been out of the battle sequence for too long. They have not been lined up since the first round of maintenance. They have been waiting until now. In the foreseeable future, there is a high probability that they will not be able to line up. Why not use the waste at this time? .

Therefore, the spaceship dismantled by the Ji clan themselves became the second largest source of their battle damage.

On the battlefield, fierce battles are still going on, but the difference from the first is that the originally clean and tidy battlefield with only troops from both sides and energy beams flying randomly has now become gray and gray.

After the camera zoomed in, it was discovered that it was a black-gray cotton-like substance, which almost filled the entire battlefield, and even piled up a large area in some areas, making these areas sticky, not only blocking the Cannon fire from the direction of the Zerg, and at the same time blocked the attack route of the Zerg.

In the nearly three hundred years of fighting, the Zerg's charge has never stopped, and the intensity of the war has not decreased in the slightest. At all times, a large number of Zerg units fell on the way of the charge.

And their dead remains piled up into mountains of meat, but before they formed a large scale, they would be wiped out by the gene destruction cannon on the battle star of the Ji clan.

Countless flesh and blood turned into fly ash, but they didn't disappear completely, and a small part remained. They were the black and gray cotton wool on the battlefield today.

And these residues, after nearly three hundred years of accumulation, have reached a scale that cannot be ignored.

Although they have long lost their chain damage properties, the Zerg can no longer recycle them, they are real residues with almost no reuse value.

This is not only true for Zerg, but also for Ji clan. After all, some black cotton wadding had already drifted into their lines, but if there was even a slight possibility that they could be used, the Ji clan would recycle them. Because any position now is very precious to the Ji Clan.

However, these things blocking the battlefield not only hindered the Zerg charge, but also had a great impact on the Ji clan.

Not only can they increase the loss of energy shells during flight, most importantly, they can even block the chain propagation of the gene destruction cannon.

This greatly reduced the deterrent effect of the gene destruction cannon on the Zerg. As a result, the density of the Zerg's charging formation increased a lot, which put more pressure on the Ji Clan.

In a comprehensive comparison, the production and collection of these black cotton wool is not bad news for the Zerg. Although they had a little impact on the Zerg, they had a greater and more serious impact on the Ji.

The greater defensive pressure has shortened the maintenance cycle of the warships of the Ji clan, so that more warships will usher in the next round of maintenance cycle before they are lined up.

A large number of warships were deposited behind the defense line because they could not be maintained. This resulted in a reduction in the number of battleships on the front line, allowing them to have less rest time, which in turn accelerated the rate at which components wore out.

Under the chain reaction, the maintenance cycle of warships is getting shorter and shorter. By the time of the eighth round of maintenance for Ji Clan warships, the time has dropped from the initial 50-year round to the 30-year round, almost reduced by half. . Moreover, this time is still shrinking rapidly, maybe in a few more rounds, the Ji Clan will face the dilemma of having no ships available.

In fact, there is no need to wait that long. Although those black cotton wool aggregates are like a sticky ocean, because they have lost their genetic destruction properties, Zerg units can touch them.

With such a large area of ​​cover, the Zerg must of course use it, even if it is not easy to push them. The Taikoo class must expand the contact area between itself and the black cotton as much as possible in order to have the conditions to push these black cotton.

Fortunately, it is not too difficult for the ancient mollusks to expand their surface area. Moreover, the endless number is enough to entangle the Taikoo class with each other, forming an impenetrable flesh wall.

The meat wall is in contact with the sea of ​​cotton wool, and behind the meat wall there are countless ancient grades to push the meat wall. The blue electric arc exploded on the Taikoo-class body, which is the performance of their extreme output.

As more and more Taikoo-level troops joined the ranks of the army, the wall of flesh and the sea of ​​black cotton wool finally began to move slowly, and the speed was gradually increasing.

Facing the oncoming black and gray ocean, all the Ji clan felt was despair. Battlestar's gene-destroying cannon can't pierce the black-gray ocean and cause damage to the Taigu class behind it, and the main guns of those standard battleships are even more impossible to penetrate this layer of invincible defense.

The black cotton wool sea keeps advancing, and the speed has been increasing. Although the increase is not large, according to the current progress, it will take half a year to push it to the front of the Ji clan.

But the Zergs have been waiting for hundreds of years, so why would they care about half a year? As long as this black ocean is pushed to the front of the Ji Clan, the end of the Ji Clan is predictable.

After all, in the last offensive and defensive battle, the two sides had already demonstrated it. Although the defensive strength of the Ji clan has been strengthened this time, there are more battleships and battle stars, a shorter defense line, and a higher defense density.

But think about it, the result will not change.

Time passed quickly, and a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the black cotton wool sea, as calculated, arrived in front of the Ji clan's defense line.

Ying, who controls the Ji family, is from artificial intelligence and is better at calculations, so the Ji family has already expected that it will not be able to prevent this from happening. The formation that had been changed early on moved away from the direction that the black cotton wool sea was facing, let it in, and then took the opportunity to wipe out the Zerg troops behind it.
