A Will Eternal Chapter 362
On Death Porcupine 1, Kane scolded Fang Qiu and talked about the war between humans and Zerg.
Liberty said that the large number of Zergs is enough to make humans kill softly and desperately.
Just like now, the ground-effect aircraft with a displacement of over 200,000 tons is huge, but the ammunition it can carry is limited, and the weapons also have a service life. If there are enough Zerg bugs, the dead porcupines will be consumed alive.
Kane admitted that there was such a possibility, but he said otherwise. He said: "Although the zerg's reproductive cycle is short, it can't be done immediately. In other words, it is basically still subject to the traditional law of dispatching troops."
This Liberty can understand. Considering the current situation, it can be said that there are only so many Zerg troops deployed here. At least in a short period of time, even if there is a strong production system, more bugs will not be able to hatch to fight.
"How long do you think the zerg's incubation period is?" he asked.
"This is not easy to estimate. Generally speaking, it seems that the incubation period for big guys is longer. After all, there are more cells of various types that need to be filled. But like self-explosive bats, the stability is poor, and they want to maintain this balance. , I am afraid that there are not low requirements for the construction of physiological structure. Another example is Hydralisk, whether it is spraying thorns or acid, it means that it has a production function. Imagine if a gun needs to be equipped with ammunition production function, How much does it increase in complexity all of a sudden?"
"To sum up, I think the incubation period of the zerg takes about a week on average."
Liberty nodded frequently at the beginning, and finally asked, "One week, is it too short?"
Kane smiled: "Not so, how to reflect the advanced nature of Zerg in bioengineering? You must know that they are also a race that has achieved interstellar travel."
Liberty thought about it, and it is true that interstellar travel means jumping, and even the jumping ability of Zerg can be realized biologically, and other relatively low-end technologies, the difficulty of realizing it is bound to be much lower.
At this time, Kane said: "One of the Zerg's strengths is the rapid replenishment of soldiers. Of course, we must try our best to avoid falling into that rhythm of battle. Therefore, for us, we are not afraid of fierce battles, but fierce battles."
"Comparing us with the Zerg is the efficiency of firepower pouring per unit of time, and the battle exchange ratio. Whether it is us or the Zerg, wars are fighting for resources, and the role of technology is to make better use of resources. The role of war The essence is to compare this.”
While the two were talking, two ground-effect aircraft had broken into the vicinity of the backwater base. And before that, the aircraft was already under the attack of the spore reptiles.
The Spore Cannon is the Zerg's ground-to-air weapon.
The heavy spore cannon is an earth cannon-level weapon that can directly strike targets in planetary orbits or even in space.
"Don't worry, I have always despised the so-called comprehensiveness. The hull of the ground effect aircraft is specially designed for energy attacks, and has a reinforced anti-corrosion coating. It is not easy to beat us down with spore crawlers alone."
Having said that, Liberty's eyelids still twitched at the blow warning displayed on the big screen.
Through the battle on Josara, people have now fully realized the power of spore crawlers and spine crawlers. Among the fighters of the Federation, except for the heavy-duty Vikings, all of them can be shot one at a time. Helicopter developed external reactive armor.
After all, the Banshee helicopter is designed to fight against the ground. Like the A-10 attack aircraft of the earth age, it must at least have an iron belly, otherwise the cost performance will immediately fall beyond the limit, and no one likes to fly a coffin in the air.
But this time, one of the important reasons why Kane dared to play air charge is that the M energy explosion played a role.
The spore crawler is also affected by the interference of psionic communication, otherwise it can launch an attack tens of kilometers away, but now, it can only use the original line-of-sight positioning and locking system. Complete the lock, and the boot of the attack. This kind of optical sighting is obsolete in this era, that is, it can be used as a backup.
Under such a background, the ground effect aircraft is condescending, and it can see farther and more clearly, and the spore crawler enters the strike range of the precision rapid-fire gun. Anyway, it is time-consuming for this semi-permanent Zerg to disarm the garrison mode , can't run away, can't hide, so let's take the blow.
So the two death porcupines were pushing forward and firing wildly at the same time, fully displaying the powerful firepower of the arsenal ship.
The ground was blasted into a sea of flames by the metal hydrogen projectiles of the rapid-fire gun, and the zerg in the air was hit by the laser strobe, and the corpses rained down. This way of fighting against the enemy's attack is naturally bloody. .
Through the ship monitoring system invoked by Liberty, countless spectators witnessed the heroic posture of the Death Porcupine 2 advancing bravely in the spore fire, outputting tons of damage, screaming with excitement.
The audience can fully imagine that, as No. 1 who is going hand in hand with No. 2, he probably has the same demeanor at this moment.
"Damn, this is fighting, enough man, tough enough, cool enough!"
This is typical of watching the excitement without taking too much trouble. Some commentators who specialize in taking advantage of news and current affairs pointed out that such a pig-like strategy means that the commander is completely acting on his own will.
"It's like a helicopter flying over the sea. The fuel consumption is more than half, and the destination is still uncertain. You can only bet that you will see land before the fuel runs out, otherwise you will have to fall into the sea."
Many people agree with this statement. Kane and the others obviously don't know how strong the Zerg army is at the backwater base. If they exceed the protection threshold of the two aircraft, they will probably fall.
Kane himself is very confident, not only because he knows more about bugs and terrain, but also because he is more satisfied with the firepower status of the two aircraft.
Sometimes offense is the best defense. Zerg's air-to-air capabilities cannot form an effective synergy in the context of the impact of psionic communication. The spore crawlers along the way are often knocked out by precision rapid-fire cannons before they can output tons of damage. It fell, so it seemed dangerous, but the artillery fire was not strong enough, leaving the mechanical nanites with the possibility of emergency repairs.
Sure enough, the ferocious charge stunned the Zerg. In order to intercept it, a large number of Hydralisks crawled out of the caves or the soil, trying to damage the aircraft with thorns and acid.
It is enough to say that, after all, the aircraft is less than 200 meters away from the bottom of the canyon.
But Hydralisk jumped out at this time, it was purely an act of death.
The rapid-fire gun array of ATS can lock 30,000 targets per minute. The reactions of the Hydralisks cannot escape the observation of the AI. As soon as they jumped out of the hole, or just climbed up the ground, they were locked by the AI, and then 3 metal hydrogen bombs were fired. The pill is shot.
As a result, there were obviously a lot of Hydralisks, but they were crushed and beaten. One came out and one died, and two came out to die.
Kane laughed: "This is the end of playing insidious tactics with favorable terrain, but the superior combat power can't be deployed, and you can't make use of your own advantages. The shortcomings of thin skin and big stuff are vividly reflected. You deserve to be ridiculed!"
The disadvantage of Zerg is that its skin is relatively fragile. If it were not so, ATA's laser would have to slow down the rate of fire and strengthen the power of the laser to kill the flying mantis.
Of course, Kane is also bullying the Zerg this time and has not evolved armor. If the evolution function of his evolution room and tower nest is available, he may not dare to rush forward in this battle.
The bullying is that the Zerg here happened to be crushed by one's own conventional firepower, and the knife was fatal.
"Commander, you should have noticed that we rushed in all the way and only cleaned up the Zerg exposed along the way. There may be more Zerg there now." Liberty kindly reminded him that he was very worried that his side would kill the Zerg. A bloody road rushed in, but it didn't take long for him to be surrounded.
"This possibility has been thought of for a long time. I have already called Fort Sanctuary, and now the artillery attack should be on the way."
Liberty was surprised: "Isn't the communication interrupted? How did you complete the communication?"
"Using the oldest method, the signal flag. It's just that this flag is cast with energy, and we call it the glorious flag."
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a spectrum that cannot be observed by the human eye. By releasing this spectral signal to high altitude, the shelter has obtained first-hand shooting coordinates.
Next is the time for the quantum artillery group to show its power. A large number of metal hydrogen shells are launched from the artillery platform of Fort Sanctuary more than 100 kilometers away, covering the coordinate area and extending the artillery fire.
A large number of zergs that came out to assemble were killed, and only a few saw the situation was not good and went back into the hole.
Kane looked at the super sea of flames that even the sky was reddened by the flames behind him, and his face was satisfied: "When we land later, we will enjoy the heat like summer, not the snow in winter."
Liberty looked downcast: "Going to land again?"
"Of course, maybe a few survivors can be rescued."
Liberty said mournfully, "Understood, not only to land, but also to drill holes."
Indeed, according to the reality of biological signal detectors, a group of existences that match human life signals are trapped in an underground bunker. Specifically, whether it is the stubborn humans or the traps dug by the Zerg, we have to go through it to know.
"Brothers, it's carnival time, let's go and have a good time!"
Greybearded members in power armor adorned with various beasts responded with "Waaaa!", not Waaagh! But the atmosphere is very similar, it is the attitude of a happy fight.
Naturally, the militiamen accompanying the team did not have such fanaticism. They had different expressions, some excited, some excited, some apprehensive, some nervous, and some praying softly.
When the target location is reached, delivery begins. As a landing ship, the Death Porcupine is also equipped with a rappelling system. But compared with a professional transport ship, the risk of launching is greater, because the airdrop is made from the blank space of the ATS precision rapid-fire gun array. Not dead, but also half disabled.
Fortunately, the buffer system was functioning normally, and a huge magnetic force field was formed at the critical moment, which completed the buffering for the released vehicles.
The liquidator, the Overlord locomotive, merged into a stream of iron after landing, advancing towards the semi-cave area. There are areas where precision rapid-fire guns cannot be aimed from the air. The ground-effect aircraft did not carry ground-to-ground missiles this time, so it could not achieve curved strikes.
Hydralisks and springtails are intimidated by dead porcupines, and cats are afraid to expose themselves to the sky in the cave system, but are ready to fight.
However, except for a few thorn-spitting hydralisks, the attack distance of acid-spitting hydralisks is only more than a hundred meters.
Kane's side naturally doesn't mind bullying the opponent's short hand.
The honeycomb missiles carried on both sides of the Bawang locomotive have a striking effect that is as powerful as the military rockets pouring down in the earth era. What is needed is to cover the strike, and the missiles are shot out in a swarm. The trajectory is not a straight line, but various arcs.
Each of these semi-intelligent missiles has its own specific attack area, and its speed is also fast or slow, and will eventually reach the attack point at the same time.
The full blow of a hive can create a 200-square-meter death zone. Multiple locomotives were launched one after another, and a large area of flames was immediately created. The dense deployment of the zerg paid a heavy price.
The Bawang locomotive is a typical one-hit escape, and the launch of the honeycomb missile is also very flexible. The launch cabin can be rotated 180 degrees, so the driver only needs to drive the locomotive around the front line, and the ammunition can be fired.
After that, immediately discard the launch pod, slip away quickly, find the ammunition supply vehicle behind and hang the launch pod again, and make a small overhaul by the way.
Even the Zerglings, the fastest running among the Zergs, couldn't catch up with the locomotive before they evolved wings. However, the Zergs have no shortage of death squads. In order to prevent the locomotive from being aggressive, thousands of bugs rushed out.
The result was a quick fire from the dead porcupine, and it was suppressed by the liquidator who rushed up just behind the locomotive.
This kind of armored vehicle has the characteristics of a trilobite-like laminated carapace. It is typically thick and heavy. Due to its strong thrust, the speed is not slow. The flamethrower burns whatever it passes.
This kind of flamethrower is not a plasma flame, but a high-end version of napalm, which can be said to be specially designed for arson. A few of these cars pushed past, and the surrounding area could be said to be a sea of flames.
Kane and Liberty were in such a car. He smiled and asked the pale Liberty: "How about it, does it remind you of the hot summer, oh, and delicious barbecue and Cold beer."
Liberty rolled his eyes, he could indeed smell the smell of barbecue, but it was disgusting to think of barbecue.
"This kind of ammunition consumption is really not small." He changed the subject.
Kane's jaw went up. "That's right, but we have! The production capacity is high, and it's just such a wave!"
