Machine Storm

After receiving the order, the Fifth Fleet launched a round of laser cannon bombing. This time the humans were very well prepared and had sufficient firepower. They slowly retreated while fighting. It took more than an hour for the fleet to gradually leave the battlefield, and once pulled After driving to a certain distance, the insect swarm did not pursue it. A large number of broods were suspended in space, and the giant insects also returned to their broods. The broods shrank as if they had entered a sleep state, forming a huge barrier in front of Kepler's planet. And more broods are still taking off, but the speed of taking off is not so urgent.

Markham immediately held a combat meeting. This test has initially seen the scale of the giant worm. Now it is no longer the dimensionality reduction attack that many people were optimistic about. Judging from this contact, the giant worm has also prepared enough troops, to a large extent. The space combat power has evolved, which is completely different from what we encountered before.

"The size of the mother nest is much larger, five or six times that of the first generation, and the varieties are also being refined. Those that release energy balls and those that transport them have begun to be classified. According to intelligence, there are several unknown abilities. This time they are A tough battle.”

"Judging from the results, their ability to resist our firepower is also improving. The firepower prepared by the explosive drones this time was very strong, but the damage caused was very average and did not meet our expectations. I think the opponent is no longer They are simply inferior creatures.”

The debate in the conference room was very fierce. The giant insect was well prepared, and the scale was not what humans judged at all. Humans have been allowed to establish a base in Kepler for so many years, and the giant insect must be in an underground lair that humans cannot reach. Silently evolving and developing, it is very likely that there are also the heads and tails of the Nimer civilization and human traitors. War is a matter of fighting if you can, and if you can't, don't fight forcefully.

With the current scale and combat power of the giant insects, do humans still want to fight this war?

"With the current scale, if the entire fleet is pressed in, it will cost a lot. Do we really need to fight this battle across the solar system?"

"The evolution speed of giant insects is too fast, and the human traitors are in Kepler. If we don't do our best to eliminate them now, it will be a different story when they arrive in the solar system!"

"You are completely speculating. There is no scientific basis. We can completely destroy the jumping point. How did a group of bugs come from Kepler? They would have come here long ago!"

"Are you speculating? If it was before we arrived at Kepler, it was indeed the case, but now that we are here, the window paper has been pierced. You said he can't come. Can you guarantee it? How do you know? As long as he comes , what should we do, what should humans do, I think we have no way out, I don’t think there is any need to report to the alliance anymore, once we fall into a dispute, this battle will end in a disastrous defeat for humans!"

"Fart, can you decide the fate of mankind personally? Do you know what war means? Do you know how many people there are in the entire fleet? This is the living power of mankind, not what you want to do!"

There was a lot of excitement in the conference room, and Markham remained silent, because this expedition was relatively optimistic overall, including the top management, and even more optimistic about the people below. This is the first time that humans have prepared such a powerful fleet. They have always been in the past. On a small scale, and in terms of space technology power, we have crushed the giant insect. In recent years, we have made countless preparations for Kepler's research and plans, just to crush it. The so-called tactical caution actually means In other words, deep down, no one thought we could defeat these lowly silicon-based primitives.

Now, the price to win this war may be unbearable by anyone.

Markham knocked on the table, "Everyone, what we are facing this time is not just giant insects, but also human traitors, and the existence of the Nimer civilization for which there is currently no more information."

"Commander-in-Chief, the Nimer civilization has been destroyed. I don't think we can scare ourselves. The ruins on the earth also prove this. That was tens of thousands of years ago. Although Kepler found some traces , but it doesn’t mean anything. Human traitors are real, but will the strongest force of us humans be frightened by some human cult organizations? Do I think some people have other intentions?”

In an instant, the entire conference room fell silent. The water in Noah's Ark was very deep. Some were involved, some were passive, and even inadvertently received the benefits. After all, a family like Melafis has too far-reaching tentacles, and there are some normal interactions. It was included, but at this sensitive moment, things took a turn for the worse.

Fighting... must be fought, but once the war actually starts, there will be no choice left now.

This matter still needs to be communicated with the Solar System Alliance Council. The enemy's preparations and scale are different from what was planned. If a war is to begin, a new battle plan must be formulated and the consequences must be suffered. If a retreat is to be made, one must be on guard against giant monsters. The possibility of insects invading the solar system, and the reproduction and survival abilities of these giant insects, would bring immeasurable disaster to the solar system.

This kind of thing is not something that can be done just by rushing into it. Fighting is definitely going to happen, and how to fight requires everyone to make new plans.

Markham has always been a little worried about the Nimer civilization. Various signs indicate that the Nimer civilization has not been completely extinct. Even though evil cult organizations like Noah's Ark are human beings, Nangong Aerospace uses the Nimer civilization to occupy Xilian's body. It is a terrifying thing, and from a profit perspective, it almost reaches the extreme that a human being needs.

What is the fight for?

Fame and fortune.

The madman is also logical. He has achieved the maximum goal he can achieve, and he is still unwilling to be satisfied. He even wants to risk doing more crazy things. Markham doesn't think he wants to occupy Kepler, because the heir of Melafis Coupled with the power of Noah's Ark, the energy it can generate is definitely not small when it is light and dark, and this kind of traitorous behavior is not necessary at all.

There is only one possibility, and that is that Nangong Aerospace or Noah's Ark discovered something greater and more tempting than human fame and fortune after contacting the Nimer civilization, and were even bewitched by some kind of power.

The Alliance has investigated and sorted out the entire incident. Although there is no direct evidence, all aspects point to a common point, that is, the Nimer civilization is most likely not completely extinct, and is constantly interfering with the process of human civilization in some way. , and even led humans to discover the planet Kepler.

"A great man in our history said, make bold guesses and verify carefully. Now there is a possibility. This is the first time that we humans have been attacked by a higher civilization. The forms of attacks are diverse, and force is only one of them." Wu Fa said .

The three generals in the conference room have to make a judgment on the current situation. The discussions of others only provide ideas, and in the end it is up to the three of them to make the final judgment.

Pang Pai was holding a cigar in his mouth, his face full of the unique ferocity and ferocity of the Martians, "I don't agree with retreat. They have come, why don't you kill them and go back to wait for death?"

Since you have chosen to become a soldier, death is an attribute of this profession.

Markham nodded, "We must fight, but the strategy needs to be readjusted. What are your thoughts on martial arts?"

Wu Fa nodded, "At the beginning, our strategy was to think that the main force was giant insects, and now it is likely to be the Nimer civilization. If this is the case, this will be two kinds of war. We must first find a way to determine this."

The art of war is to peel away the cocoons, find clues from the chaos, and then decide how to fight.

"We know nothing about the inside of Kepler now. The strange fog is a bit weird. It is impossible for such a degree of fog to appear in such a vast sea under normal circumstances. It must be something we want to cover up." Pang Pai's hoarse voice sounded, "And how is our base? We have to find a way to get in and take a look. Markham, have you already thought of it?"

Markham looked at the star map with deep eyes. "Are you ready?" He did consider various factors. He asked Li Hao to form a special battle group to deal with some special situations. "At present, the vigilance of the giant insects is at its highest, so don't be anxious." , this is a protracted war, inform all warships to prepare for long-term operations, and ask for supplies from the alliance."

"Damn it, I won't do this. You can do the martial arts. They're too stupid. It makes me want to be corrupt." Pang Pai said.

War means paying money to fight people. Generally speaking, it is for the safety of mankind. However, not everyone agrees with this view. Some people also look at the profit ratio. This expedition has been formed, but we continue to add supplies. , how long to fight, how to fight, the following problems are all faced by Markham and others.

"I'm also worried about this. Let me do the first wave first." Wu Fa said. The first wave pointed out the key, that is, this war will never be easy. He already knows how Markham plans to fight. , asking for money and equipment has to be done shamelessly.

Humanity's huge fleet is scattered in space, and it also has formations. The six fleets are divided into five space anchors. Among them, the TAS Free Fleet is mainly used for transportation and follows the Han Star Fleet on the moon. The Fifth Fleet still serves as the vanguard. At the front is the Earth's Sixth Fleet, followed by the two fleets of Mars scattered on both wings. If strategically necessary, an all-out attack on Kepler can be launched to break through the giant insect's defense. Their unconcentrated The method is obviously not to let humans enter the interior of Kepler's planet.

At present, relying on the planet Kepler, fighting close to the giant insects has a certain supply advantage. If you stay away from the battle, the giant insects will not follow up. This war for humans is not to enter Kepler, but to eliminate the giant insects. , otherwise it is meaningless. Of course, the advantage of human beings lies in the initiative to advance and retreat. Being too far away from the solar system and having too long supply lines are also human problems.

“Maybe it’s better to decide whether we produce faster or the giant insects produce faster.”

"This time we are going to put an end to the giant insect."

"With our superior strength, we can suppress them with all our firepower before they can react and completely destroy them!"
