Invincible Chapter 384
The hundreds of thousands of heavy air combat units sent by the Zerg side were very resolute.
Leviathan withdrew, destroyed, they still advanced in the direction of Chosala as planned, and did not waver.
It is precisely because of this that Leon Fox came to the conclusion that the Zerg still has brain worms in command.
To be honest, the Zerg came to join in the fun this time, whether it was targeting the protoss and humans, or the old incarnation, this is not sure, after all, there is no communication to confirm.
Kane didn't like the bugs, so he must see them with a knife.
Tassada didn't take any chances either. He might not believe everything about the origins of the protoss and the zerg that the magic stick angel talked about, but as a fleet commander, when he saw the zerg appear, he was the first to attack. If there are no ships or heavy fighter units, he can treat it as if it is targeting the golden fleet.
So this collision has been inevitable since the Zerg appeared.
Zerg didn’t have slow-moving guardians this time, so that the Golden Fleet opened fire first. The most popular attack method on the protoss side is plasma cannons. Like aircraft carrier interceptors, they use plasma cannons, and reconnaissance planes use photon blasters. , the Phoenix fighter is an ion cannon.
To sum up, they are all high-energy energies, either in a bundle or in a cluster.
So looking at it from the perspective of God, the Golden Fleet spewed out millions of bright lights, which were truly brilliant.
Just looking at this wave of attacks, it seems to be sweeping rain and hail, powerful and quite spectacular. But compared with the Zerg's hundreds of thousands of air combat legions, it's not enough.
Both the Devourer and the Corruptor are heavy units, comparable in size to a hospital boat without losing the wind.
The medical boat is modified on the basis of the transport plane, and the standard pod used is similar to that used by the transport plane, except that the medical boat is a special pod that can perform surgery inside, while the transport plane can carry two main battle tanks .
It can be seen from this that it is not too much to say that the Devourer and the Corruptor are torpedo boats in space.
Tens of thousands of these speedboats maintain a certain distance from each other, and the airspace they occupy is very huge. If these Zergs were like a cloud of locusts, then the strike of the Golden Fleet was a collection of water dragons launched by dozens of fire trucks.
The deadly rain of light submerged into the zerg swarm, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. From a distance, it seemed as if cold water had been poured on the hot ashes, and a large cloud of ashes and water mist rose from the entire area.
Thousands of zerg died in this blow.
However, the protoss were not very satisfied with this record.
These Zergs were much stronger than they expected. They thought that if this wave of saturated attacks continued, even if they couldn't kill more than ten thousand, it would be about the same, but the actual result was only one-tenth of what they expected.
And the Zerg basically didn't make any tricks. Although the Golden Fleet's strike was out of range, the hit rate still exceeded 60%.
This is not difficult to imagine, after all, it is a wide-ranging saturation strike, and the density of the Zerg clusters is enough to make such a blow full of rewards.
This is also the reason why Protoss has high expectations.
It turns out, however, that the zerg aren't as stupid as they thought, and there's a reason for the dense formation. Like now, the students took this wave of damage instead of being cleared out of a bug-free zone, which means that from a tactical point of view, there is no opportunity for the Zerg to break through the front.
The goal of the protoss is to rush forward, like heavy cavalry, to cut a passage in the Zerg array, so that carrier-based aircraft and other units can launch attacks from the Zerg's flanks, and more importantly, to protect the ships. position, strike the wreckage of Leviathan in the rear.
Now is the time to beat the dog in the water, and the protoss seem to have wiped out the millions of zerg in this star field.
This battle, which was later called the Josa Moon Orbital Battle, could be said to have just begun the second half.
On board the Notre Dame, Tassadar, the executive officer of the protoss, still persevered in using the core of the Notre Dame - the Kaidarin crystal matrix, to transform and focus the majestic energy and bombard Josara.
As for the Golden Fleet, commanded by Aldarius at this time, several powerful tactics could not be used due to the lack of the Notre Dame. Therefore, the tactics of the Golden Fleet tended to be conservative, and it was very common to advance in a straight line.
A wave of blows failed to open the Zerg array, followed by a second wave and a third wave.
The Zerg also seemed to see the intention of the golden fleet, and they adopted a four-wing outflanking tactic. That is to say, in addition to the left and right wings, there are also upper and lower wings.
To be more detailed, it is to exchange the arc route for a powerful angle of attack.
The Golden Fleet's elevation and depression strike capabilities are not very strong, especially during the dash, which means that the Zerg's four-wing attack, like four sharp knives, is very likely to penetrate the Golden Fleet obliquely.
For this reason, the Zergs sacrificed the frontal troops who were severely beaten by the Golden Fleet. This tactic is not very new, but it is also simple and highly operable.
Since both sides were advancing at high speed, after the Golden Fleet struck four waves, the two sides fought hand-to-hand, and the Golden Fleet sent a large number of reconnaissance planes, pirate planes, and Phoenix fighter planes.
Zergs are Devourers and Corruptors. These two kinds of Zergs are actually extremely terrifying. The corrosive acid they spit out is more powerful than the alien acid blood of the Alien Universe. More importantly, there are spores that can grow in these acids. These spores are like the barnacles that are easy to see on the bottom of sea ships. Nibbling, the additional damage caused is higher than the corrosion damage.
The dogfight started quickly, and for the Phoenix fighters and reconnaissance planes that were not superior in speed and frequency of fire, these two kinds of Zerg were simply their nightmares.
The acid will destroy the energy shield almost once, while the corrosion spores will reduce the overall performance, including the structural strength of the fighter.
From the appearance, the fighter that was hit seemed to be entangled in a sticky cloud of miserable green smoke, which was actually formed by continuous corrosion and decomposition. This breakdown is at the molecular level.
Although Protoss has widely used high-density alloys in materials science, and the coating material technology is also extremely advanced. However, the corrosive acid and spores of the Zerg can still cause strong damage to it.
And if it's the human side...
Leon Fox's Ares Space Marine Division has a taste of strong corrosion for ships.
Lyon fully demonstrated the characteristics of the wind and waves in this battle.
His fleet is a mix of old and old. He had a conflict with Kane before and was killed several new Behemoth-class battlecruisers in one go. Even the fleet flagship and fleet commander Vincent were killed in battle.
This kind of interstellar marine division is not unique in the Federation. Basically, there are two chiefs and deputy chiefs. Due to the Continental Army doctrine, the division commander is the principal and the fleet commander is the deputy, but in fact many of them play their own roles. The situation of Master Ares is considered good. After all, Leon Fox has a good father.
The personnel on the mobile ship that Lyon could command began to wave in at this time, using the only three remaining Behemoths to make a short-distance leap, rushing to the outer edge of the Leviathan cemetery in one fell swoop.
This is a typical example of using yourself as a special force and wanting to play beheading tactics while taking advantage of your illness.
If there is actually nothing wrong with this line of thinking, let alone courage, it is enough to be evaluated in the wealth insurance. The only problem is, knowing yourself and your enemy, how far you have done in intelligence work, you dare to be so wasteful?
Just as Kane said when he warned Tassadar, the vitality of the Zerg is extremely tenacious. Even if you haven't heard the saying that "a centipede is dead but not stiff", you should know the rotten street saying that cockroaches live, right?
Leviathan is huge and has not been exploded, so even if it is a corpse, there is still room for manipulation.
The interior of Leviathan can accommodate multiple units of nests, and other functional facilities such as split pools and evolution rooms are often equipped with a full set, and even have spares.
Within 5 minutes of being chopped into eight pieces, some areas have already started to save themselves.
This kind of self-rescue is similar to the sealing injection in modern medicine, patterning and anesthesizing the first part. Then, using the rapidly proliferating cell tissue, the conjunctiva grows flesh like wound healing.
After that, the mutated larvae and worker bees are used to organically fuse with this part of Leviathan's capsule, frame, and organs.
The final result is like an ordinary person with a deformed super stomach bag. Although he didn't live long, his organs are complete and he can work hard again.
What's more, play stitch operations.
The gas and matter spilled from the inside of Leviathan, because there is no propulsion and divergence effect caused by the big bang and the shock wave, it is like a large cloud of dust, floating in space.
And this kind of area, to the Zerg, is equivalent to the barren soil that can barely survive the plants. It is possible to perform some operations.
So there is the operation of stitching and welding, which trims the cut edge of Leviathan into a zigzag shape, and then makes the two parts bite.
This jagged bite is tighter than a flat butt. This is done mainly for the tightness of the carapace and the firmness of the structure.
The cell activity of the chitin-like carapace is far from comparable to that of ordinary flesh and blood tissue. Its activity is too low, and its growth is very slow, even slower than that of bones.
Against this background, the necessity for a jagged bite is high.
And the completion of this splicing often means that more functional areas are reactivated, and a large number of zerg and materials can be used again.
Leon also noticed this situation, and he became more and more convinced that the brain worms existed and were somewhere.
How to find it? You can't turn over one by one, right? Leon also knew that at this time, there might still be many living Zergs in Leviathan's corpse, and it was too dangerous to search aimlessly.
Fortunately, he is dependable.
Following the phantom energy launcher, the Federation developed a phantom energy detector in a relatively short period of time.
This is actually the result obtained by reversing the principle of the psionic transmitter.
Another important point is that human science and technology research and development are heavily stimulated. War is a kind of stimulation, and money is also a kind of stimulation.
The Fox family is very rich, and the purple badge circle led by it controls a lot of wealth.
After making a deal with Kane, the founding family made multiple investments in Zerg related research.
In the words of someone: "Anyway, currency depreciation will come. Investing in research in this area now is tantamount to holding the key to open the door to new wealth in advance."
There is nothing wrong with this statement. Relevant research, no matter whether it is to strengthen the combat effectiveness against Zerg, or to develop new organic materials, or to make progress in biology, genetics, etc., is tantamount to more wealth.
This is also an important reason why Leon played the tug-of-war with the zerg back and forth in Josala. He had missions, weapon testing, and experimental data collection, which were carried out in full swing under his rule.
Even the federal military feels that it is good to have such a controllable, localized combat window. Practice tactics, understand the enemy, temper officers and soldiers, and test weapons.
Some other people in the small circle of no longer purple badges, such as the founding family represented by Lin Yaohui, the commander of the Miao Squadron, were also keen on this, so they played similar tricks in Marsala.
However, Marsala has a gray beard. Affected by his performance, this group of people has no choice but to make a certain investment in the victims of the disaster, so there are other NLD organizations besides the North.
If there wasn't such a reference for comparison, those rich and powerful would not be willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a remote planet that was destined to be destroyed. It can even be said that a little more chaos in Marsala and a little more water mixing are actually more conducive to their operations, such as human trading, live body operations and so on.
This is the shame of powerful people, compatriots, they don't care about things like dead lips and teeth, they only look at whether it is beneficial to them.
This has been the case since the time of the earth. How many innocent people die every day in Africa? Among those who are capable, has any of them been like Peter Parker's uncle said, "With great power comes great responsibility"?
But in this era, the relationship between water and boats has become more and more alienated. Relying on technology, one or two of those boats have become floating on the water.
