Machine Storm

The big screen gives the sixteen teams a perspective. They will face the same challenges. Now it depends on what choices and commands the players will make.

The fleet entered Cygnus, and not long after sailing, they encountered a drifting meteorite belt. Some detoured, and some used firepower to clear the way. The top three teams all chose to detour. Although time was tight, they could not attack the meteorites blindly and hastily. The swarm will consume the energy and ammunition of the fleet, and the effect is not necessarily good, not too sure.

Although it is just a competition, commanding a huge fleet still has a feeling of great pride. Team members from all departments are ready. This is the world of the commander. As the commander of the fleet, he is the supreme existence. In interstellar navigation, the fleet The commander's order is the supreme decree.

Dan, the commander of Team Galaxy, did not smile too much. "All the team members are on high alert. The difficulty of this competition is different from previous competitions. We will definitely be surprised in the end."

The team members were all focused, and the director was very sensible in giving Galaxy's perspective. No one thought that Galaxy Team, which already had such a big lead, could be so cautious and not give their opponents any chance. It was their turn to win the championship. , in Galaxy Academy, the students gathered in front of the big screen were chatting and laughing. Never underestimate the heart of a champion. The powerful genes of Galaxy Academy have created one strong person after another. They can't wait for the parade after winning the championship.

Take the Starship S competition first, and then the Mecha S competition. Galaxy Academy is the number one academy in the universe.

After escaping the meteorite swarm, the interstellar voyage became calm, but soon everyone realized that the second challenge should be soon, but it was very calm. What could it be?

The fleets that chose to orbit were all very fast, and they were still in the first echelon in terms of driving force. However, those who wanted to give it a try lost themselves. Suddenly, the Galaxy Fleet, Eternal Fleet and Tianxing Fleet slowed down one after another. This kind of The deceleration of the huge fleet is particularly abrupt in the comparison chart. This also puts North Carolina and other fleets in the lead. Although the top three have a greater advantage, it does not mean that they are completely stable and there will be no major changes in the rankings. The premise is that everyone has completed the last task. If someone fails to complete it and the one who lags behind completes it perfectly, there are still certain variables.

The other fleets headed by North Carolina are still sailing, because they are in a hurry, and the space is currently peaceful, and they do not want to miss the opportunity to create a miracle.

Soon a mutation occurred, and a terrifying gravitational force suddenly appeared in space. A huge gravitational wave swept over. There was a chaos of war, alarms sounded, and scanning began on the big screen. The thing that Starfleet feared most appeared, a black hole!

Moreover, it is a static black hole. This kind of black hole has no charge and no rotation. It is like an abyss, waiting quietly for the prey to approach. It is impossible to guard against it. When the prey is discovered, it is difficult to escape.

In essence, such extreme situations are rarely encountered in normal sailing, and normal sailing speeds will also avoid it. It is obvious that this competition is a bit targeted, and such a one-in-10,000 chance has occurred.

At this time, it all depends on luck. Some fleets were traveling too fast and were directly involved, unable to escape. Others cautiously released reconnaissance planes, but they did not have time to escape. Although the reconnaissance plane suddenly lost its signal, the commander did not There was no immediate danger analyzed from the information.

Xu Anliang, the commander of the North Carolina fleet, responded promptly and slowed down the fleet the moment the reconnaissance plane lost contact. This judgment allowed North Carolina to escape from the black hole.

It's not that other fleets are unwilling to slow down. During the normal navigation of the entire fleet, slowing down and stopping without sufficient reasons will cause huge losses to the fleet. Misjudgments will be deducted points, especially in the case of rescue.

The four fleets from ROM were completely wiped out. The Martians were fighting for their lives. After falling behind in the front, they just ignored them now. They were completely unaware of such an ambush. When they found out that something was wrong, they could only curse.

The Martian team members whose fleet was destroyed looked depressed, and some of them were unwilling to curse. They were gone before they had a head-on battle with the giant insect. They were so angry that their bravery had no place to use. They were despicable and shameless Moon people, as timid as mice. Earthlings, and stupid TAS.

Although North Carolina narrowly escaped, the fleet also suffered considerable losses, the same amount of energy, and two Pangu-class strategic ships were damaged. This rescue feels very dangerous. After all, judging from the current difficulty, the wait Giant bugs are definitely no joke.

Thanks to the support of their peers, NUP's three fleets were preserved, and their performance was perfect. They bypassed the black hole without any damage. The members of the Galaxy Fleet all looked at the Dan Emperor with admiration. Anluo Dan was also a golden gene awakener, and had a powerful The premonition of crisis, rich knowledge reserves, and even a little fluctuation in the star chart can make judgments. They were the first to respond, so they are currently at the leading speed.

Gran from the Eternal Academy read out the anomalies in the gravity curve. This change is very subtle, especially when entering any star region in the universe. There are experts in this field in the Eternal Team, experts in gravitational wave judgment. , of course, there is also a certain element of gaming in this. At the same time, they believed that this S game was very likely to have a black hole. They predicted it, and they succeeded.

What is surprising is that the Tianxing team also escaped the stasis black hole, and it was based on the judgment of Commander Arths. Because she did not know the personnel and capability reserves of Tianxing, it was impossible to know how she made the judgment.

Now only the three fleets of NUP are still moving forward. There is not much difference in the speed of the three fleets. At this time, the struggle is how to complete the rescue mission.

Three fleets entered the Kepler star field. The star that Kepler belongs to is much larger than the sun. It emits powerful energy in space and breeds Kepler's powerful creatures.

In space, countless giant insects appeared. Of course, the human fleet had encountered them a long time ago and suffered losses, but they were nothing compared to the scale in front of them. This test actually greatly strengthened the number of giant insects. , of course, the species data of giant insects are not exaggerated.

A large number of giant insects of this size, especially giant insects supported by bioenergy cannons on the ground, and energy bombs similar to human missiles that can penetrate the atmosphere are also a great threat to the fleet.

The mission begins to destroy the giant insects and save the Kepler base.

The fleet opened fire, and countless giant insect broods suspended in space released countless winged silicon-based giant insects that rushed towards the human battleships. The bone spurs ejected from their mouths could pierce the armor of the battleships, and there were densely packed bomb bugs. , silicon-based life has a survivability far beyond that of carbon-based life, and is still rampant in space.

The battle was very fierce. At the same time, the game information also started counting down. The human ground base was also attacked by giant insects. If it could not be rescued within the specified time, the rescue would fail. The three human warships faced a huge test. , but also a severe test of the commander’s strategy and psychology.

The commanders of the three major fleets were not anxious because of these times, but observed the battle situation overall. The two sides were equally powerful, but the giant insects were fighting at home, and time was not on their side.

In terms of combat power, Team Galaxy is still in the lead, followed by Team Eternity, and Team Tianxing in third place. There is not much difference between the latter two. Team Galaxy's overall combat command and accuracy are frighteningly high.

In fact, according to the current situation, if everyone makes the same choice, Team Galaxy is still the well-deserved champion.

The other teams have already withdrawn from the competition. Compared with the performance of these three teams, they are no longer qualified.

The only three remaining commanders are also assessing the battle situation. With less than one earth left in time, there is a steady stream of enemies. Many broods have lifted off from Kepler. From a distance, they look like densely packed balloons. Space combat power is continuously replenished.

It feels like this is not a rescue test, it is simply a death test. There is no way to rescue at all. This is an impossible task.

The three captains also face a choice. What if the rescue inevitably fails?

Since the exchange of fire, the fleet's losses have been increasing rapidly. Everyone has a good understanding of the giant insect's combat power in normal training. However, there are too many this time, and there are also broods from Kepler that are constantly rising into the sky. This is a problem that simply cannot be solved.

Countless spectators were watching at this time. Even ordinary spectators could tell that it was basically hopeless. However, there were many aspects of the test. How should the commander decide? The mission was to rescue, but knowing full well that he could not rescue would be to let the team members die. Give it a try, or conserve your strength?

If the strength is preserved, all humans in Kepler will be abandoned.

No matter which choice you make, it is actually very difficult and requires responsibility.

At this time, the senior officials from the Solar System Alliance are also watching the choices of these young elites, although they can judge a lot of things just from the game.

Time did not delay for long. Ace, the captain of the Eternal Team, took the lead in making a choice. He believed that the rescue plan was a failure. The preparations beforehand were insufficient and he seriously misjudged the strength of the giant insect. The rescue was bound to fail. We should choose to retreat decisively to preserve combat power instead of consuming human vitality.

After making an overall judgment, Ace Guerra began to order the fleet to retreat.

Preserving strength is not about escaping, it is also a helpless choice.

The remaining two fleets have not yet made the choice to retreat. If the final judgment is that it is not feasible and the entire fleet is ruined, it will be an even greater failure. From a certain perspective, Ace's choice is more decisive, and after paying After a certain amount of sacrifice, the Eternal Fleet successfully saved the main force and evacuated.

At this point, the Eternal Team's game is over, and all that's left is to wait for the evaluation of the referee team.

The team members can watch the choices of the remaining two fleets. It is obvious that both the Galaxy Fleet and the Tianxing Fleet have decided to look for opportunities. They have not given up yet. It will still take some time for the giant insect support troops to reach the battlefield from the Kepler ground. Yes, the siege has not yet been formed.

Yinghe's Dan looked at the fierce space battlefield with a cold face, constantly thinking about the battle damage report and the continuous flow of enemies in his ears.

The Galaxy Fleet adopted the most difficult Boronov roller formation, and was constantly strangled by the giant insect swarms. The battlefield was like a huge meat grinder, but this situation could not continue. The giant insects kept coming, and The human fleet has no backup, which is the disadvantage of cross-star operations.

"Kaxiu, you command eighteen destroyers to cover, buy time at all costs, and implement Kepler's destruction plan!" Anluo Dan said solemnly.

"Yes, Commander!"

All members of Team Galaxy remained calm and assigned tasks calmly.

The formation of the Galaxy Fleet began to change. Some battleships were pulled out, all drones were dispatched, and space mechas flew out to cover the Rocky aircraft carrier as it approached Kepler. Countless giant insects apparently realized something and fought back crazily.

The Galaxy Fleet showed superb command and decisiveness without any hesitation. Battleships were continuously destroyed, and the remaining battleships were replaced one after another. Sacrifice was inevitable. This was a suicide action.

Anluo Dan's choice is to die together.

At this stage, if you evacuate, you will only be chased and killed by giant insects. After missing the first time to retreat, Anluo Dan has made the final preparations. If he cannot save the humans in Kepler, then destroy Kepler. Le, completely destroy the enemy.

As a fleet commander, he is willing to sacrifice everything for mankind, and his own life is not worth mentioning.

The Loki aircraft carrier continues to advance under the cover of the team, and the terrifying forbidden planet weapon is also being prepared-the Janibekov Star Axis Cannon.

This is the ultimate taboo weapon for mankind that can change the axis of the planet. Any rotating object in three dimensions has three axes. The Janibekov cannon changes one of the rotation axes of the planet, causing the planet's rotation to be disordered. When the time comes, start Puller would be a living hell, a planetary-yield weapon far exceeding any nuclear weapon.

Dan's judgment is that Kepler has threatened human civilization, and destruction is the best protection.

On the other side, the situation of Tianxing Jiwei is even worse. Arths is observing the battle situation with concentration. Planetary weapons are an option, but once used, Kepler planet will no longer be the future paradise of mankind, but will become a hell. At the same time, All humans on Kepler will also become extinct.

Is it a dead end?

No, any intelligent life must have a command, and this is especially true for the life pattern of silicon-based giant insects. They are just like ants. The lower giant insects are completely soldier ants. The core of this rescue mission is to find the source of the giant insect swarm in space. Brainworm.

The problem is that intelligent life must be hidden. How can a huge swarm of countless giant insects find the brain worms?

The giant insects are all exactly the same, and they are everywhere. The signal transmission of giant insects is different from that of humans. This kind of biological ripples is currently beyond the grasp of human scientists, let alone detection.

Similarly, after fighting against giant bugs for so many years, humans also know that giant bugs are very good at camouflage and hunting. This is known from the low-level latent giant bugs. Mimicry and camouflage are their usual methods, and the higher-level giant bugs are better at camouflage and hunting. The more cunning it is, the more powerful a giant insect of this size will become.

Cerebrates are definitely out there on the battlefield, but how do you know unless they turn into giant worms?
