Chapter 478 Confidence and Cooperation
After receiving the news, the senior members of Roche Biotech rushed to the side hall next to the conference room, as if the sky had fallen.
But they are not qualified to go to the main hall to discuss matters. Nowadays, with the rapid development of the group and the relationship with the New World Bank, Luo Yue, the chairman, has become more and more worthy of the name.
At this moment, Boss Luo and the chaebol heirs who came out of the basement are mobilizing various relationships to collect relevant information about the "Nemesis Project".
Miss Celine thought to herself, "If Mr. Lu decides to go there, I must follow."
Lu Li's status in her heart was equal to that of a god, whether it was power or other aspects, he was awe-inspiring.
On the side, Will had the same idea. Although he hadn't seen Lu Li attacking with all his strength, he was a bit of a loser, hoping to make the relationship between the two parties go further.
"Your Excellency, I did inquire about a project called Nemesis, and the content is basically consistent with what Professor Taylor said."
"Basic?"
Lu Li looked at Viola. This girl seemed to have a well-connected channel, and she was the first to hear the news every time.
"The first ring plan is actually not taken seriously. The so-called medium-sized attack ships have been in service for decades, and they are barely usable."
With that said, Viola projected the specific data and showed it to everyone.
[The Intrepid medium-sized attack ship is 230 meters long and 32 meters wide. It is equipped with a second-generation intelligent assistance system and is powered by nuclear fusion.
The weapon system has been modified on a small scale. On the basis of having a main gun and two auxiliary guns, the light weapon module has been strengthened...]
Second generation assistance system?
If I remember correctly, the heavy scientific research ships Black Prince and Tinder all use the third-generation intelligent assistance system.
"This set of equipment was provided by the military, and it was also proposed by them to carry out detection operations in advance."
Sensing Lu Li's doubts, Celine explained: "The Alliance Army is all on the front line, responsible for guarding the outposts, and has no right to interfere with the planet's affairs. They are not too powerful, and are supported by taxes paid by major companies."
The army is weak and is only responsible for security work, and the rest depends on the big chaebols.
If newcomers knew about it, they would definitely find this structure strange, but because of his rich experience, Lu Li quickly accepted the fact.
"I think investigative work is necessary."
In the end, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Li said his decision in a deep voice, "But with only a dozen escapees and some old spaceships, it is difficult to complete the mission."
Obvious hint.
After listening, everyone reacted differently.
Will, Miss Celine and others were extremely aggressive, and immediately decided to follow, taking this action as an adventure, an adventure to show their loyalty.
"Last month, Roche Biologics just placed an order to build a large fleet. The deposit has been paid, but it will take at least six months to complete the delivery."
Naturally, it was impossible for Luo Yue to go to the battlefield, not to mention that he hadn't been injected with serum yet, and even if he had, he wouldn't risk his life.
This guy has a very clear positioning for himself, and he will stay behind honestly and provide various resources.
Therefore, he said in a deep voice: "If you plan to join that plan, the company can send all the attack ships there."
"At the same time, we will acquire some advanced spaceships from other companies at high prices as soon as possible."
Funds and connections, these are things that have been promised, and it is finally time to fulfill them, and Luo Yue has proved with his actions that he is fulfilling them.
At this time, Miss Celine said: "Our family owns the ownership of eleven living planets. There are a large number of attack ships parked in the airport, and some of them can be mobilized."
After officially becoming the heir of the family, she spoke with more confidence.
"A living planet under our family's name is not far from the frontline outpost. There is a fleet stationed there, which can be mobilized at any time."
Will was the second to express his attitude.
The same is true for the other young people. If it is as they promised, Lu Li can immediately form an invincible fleet and go to the depths of the starry sky to fight.
It can only be said that capital is the mainstream force in this world.
The military can only provide one old-fashioned attack ship and an automatic reconnaissance aircraft of unknown circumstances, but this group of young chaebol heirs can provide more than a dozen new attack ships.
Although it is mainly light and medium-sized, there are indeed a lot of them. Including a large main battleship provided by Roche Biology, this fleet can definitely travel sideways in the galaxy.
I just don't know what the so-called Zerg...what?
Generally speaking, the technological level of the Zerg race is extremely low, it can even be said that there is no development, they hardly use tools, and individuals perform different functions through physiological variation.
If you want to conduct space navigation... Considering its technological level, this is simply impossible, because it is difficult for the Zerg to develop space vehicles in the conventional sense.
Professor Taylor seems to have said that after the frontline outpost was attacked by a meteorite, a large number of insects appeared a few days later.
If I remember correctly, there is a kind of Zerg that emits spores into the universe, and after the spores are attached to small meteorites, they will be shot to the designated area.
Of course, you can't guess the Zerg without any evidence, just relying on subjective assumptions.
You must know that some Zergs can directly open "wormholes" through supernatural powers to carry out long-distance interstellar voyages, and the means are beyond the scope of ordinary science.
Two hours later.
The two groups met again, and the atmosphere was particularly dignified.
The professor regards this meeting as a meeting to change the destiny of mankind, and he knows very well how important the investigation work in advance is.
"This is more detailed information about the Nemesis plan."
"The frontline outpost provided a video file. After more than two thousand years, we met the Zerg again."
"Compared to before, have they evolved?"
"I don't know. The information about that period was either lost or hidden by the major families. Of course, the scientific research institute also kept some."
Speaking of this, Professor Taylor's face was dignified and embarrassed. He was an expert in genetics, not biology. In fact, even professors in various universities knew very little about Zerg.
"The specific situation can only be known by the frontline outposts. Those defenders can be said to be the people who know the Zerg best in the entire galaxy."
"All right."
Lu Li nodded. Although he was very curious as to why this professor was hired as the person in charge of the special project, instead of worrying about such trivial matters, he might as well look at the video data.
Perhaps, the bug that launched the attack is within its own scope.
After a while, the light curtain flickered.
The desert is filled with sand and dust, and countless black shadows can be vaguely seen moving in the distance. They are getting closer. To be precise, they are getting closer and closer to the monitoring equipment installed on the outpost.
Mantis?
There are so many legs.
Looking at the suspended simulated light screen, Lu Li fell into deep thought. He had seen this kind of creature before.
Not sure what the official organization of the Nemesis Galaxy called it, in anatomy class, this thing was called a "Warrior".
"The exoskeleton of this monster can withstand a high temperature of more than 700 degrees Celsius, and it can also withstand most caliber pulse guns."
The professor who had watched the video material countless times in advance explained, "In order to deal with it, it usually takes three to five elite fighters who are not afraid of death."
Lu Li did not underestimate this creature, he watched the tragedy that happened at the outpost carefully, and pressed the pause button from time to time.
But after hearing Professor Taylor's words, he couldn't help but ask, "Elite fighter? How do you define it?"
"I haven't broken free from the genetic lock, but I have experienced at least three cell enhancements, proficient in various weapons, and my psychological quality is far beyond ordinary people."
Will, who had always been proud, put away his pride. He could easily kill those who broke free with his bare hands. Similarly, the so-called elite fighters were still vulnerable.
However, in the video, there are so many big bugs with yellow and black and sharp limbs like scissors that they can't count.
As long as you have a little brain, you can see at a glance that they are just basic troops.
Short name: cannon fodder.
Ants gnaw dead elephants more.
This ancient proverb has been forgotten with the passage of time, but its meaning has been remembered by everyone, and similar sentences have been passed down from generation to generation.
After the double blow from Lu Li and the aliens, Will became extra sober. He didn't expand to the point where he thought he could exterminate tens of thousands of Zergs by himself.
Once a war starts, weapons of mass destruction must be carried.
In addition, before fighting head-on, you have to use heavy firepower to clean the ground to avoid being entangled by cannon fodder.
"Is there any specific information about this monster?"
Lu Li suddenly said that even though the military had never encountered a warrior before, they should have collected relevant information after this raid.
Unless the intelligent system malfunctioned at that time, autonomous analysis could not be performed.
"Of course." Professor Taylor, who entered the working state, was exceptionally professional, and he quickly selected one from the thick stack of documents.
【Basic Zerg】
【Height: 3.0m~3.2m】
[Length: 4.9 meters to 5.3 meters]
【Weight: 530kg~550kg】
[Narrow brain, suspected mental retardation]
[There are exoskeleton sharp spines at the femur and tibia of the forefoot, which are very aggressive]
[Moving speed: 0 km/h~350 km/h]
[Sharp jaw, bite force over 2000 kg]
[Sharp limbs, unit area...]
Except for the incompatibility of the name, the characteristics of other places are almost completely consistent with the creature encountered in the dissecting room.
Therefore, the so-called basic Zerg was actually a warrior, and the following information once again confirmed Lu Li's guess.
【Jumping Zerg】
【Height: 3.1m~3.2m】
【Length: 5.0m~5.1m】
【Weight: 485kg~515kg】
[Narrow brain, suspected mental retardation, extremely low ground speed, negligible]
[The limbs are stronger than the basic Zerg and can jump easily. According to the information collected so far, the maximum jump height that this creature can reach is: 78.64 meters]
[With three pairs of transparent wings, the flying speed is medium. According to the information collected so far, the maximum flying speed that this creature can reach is: 230m/s (instantaneous), and the average flying speed is: 412km/h]
[The attack method is the same as the basic Zerg, using sharp limbs and jaws as weapons...]
[Note: It is suspected that by sliding at high speed, the torso of hostile creatures can be cut off with wings]
The Zerg army attacking the frontline post was composed of these two creatures, but they all corresponded to the names in Lu Li's memory:
Warrior, Jumper.
"Has the frontline outpost fallen? What is the final result."
After the holographic projection was turned off, Lu Li asked one last question.
"After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, when reinforcements arrived, two squads of fifty under the cover of light warship fire completely wiped out the Zerg vanguard."
"And the army stationed on that asteroid lost more than half."
After speaking, Professor Taylor sighed, not sure if he was sighing for the victim or worried about the situation.
Watching Boss Luo now have a panoramic view of everything, he can't help feeling the magic of fate.
Back then, when he and Lu Li were negotiating on the Tinder, the other party's bargaining chip was this professor, but now this dreaded existence actually asked for this company.
"I would like to join the program."
At this moment, Lu Li's voice sounded and reverberated in the meeting room. To Professor Taylor, it sounded like heaven.
The military attaches great importance to this mission because they are at the forefront and have a general understanding of the dangers of the Zerg, but the chaebols are different. They have lived a comfortable life for more than two thousand years, making them care more about how to expand their business territory than foreign affairs. war.
Even if the Nemesis plan is proposed, it is extremely simple and rude——
United all the big groups in the alliance to form a super-large fleet, go to the blockade line, and wait for a signal from the human civilization on the other side.
If conditions are favorable, take the initiative to attack.
If the Zerg is powerful, then passively defend to buy time for the major planets to enter a state of war.
It was for this reason that the military turned its attention to the Institute of Genetics, to be precise, Professor Taylor, who was in charge of training highly talented breakaways, and hoped that he could lend a helping hand.
"This is the best news I've heard these days." A smile appeared on the professor's face.
Beilu can testify that the teacher has not laughed for a long time, but he is happy at the same time, but at the same time he is a little bit upset:
The case of the Tinder wreck was obviously tricky, and it would be unfair to expose it so easily.
Unfortunately, that is the reality.
No matter what happened on the Huozhi heavy scientific research ship, as long as Lu Li or Luo Yue is unwilling to make it public, it will always be a mystery.
"Professor, there is one thing to declare in advance."
As Lu Li said, he packed up the documents and prepared to read them later.
"After joining the Nemesis Project, I will not easily take on the role of leading the charge."
Professor Taylor seemed to have expected this, and asked, "Do you want to be a decision maker?"
"That's right."
Lu Li answered confidently. After all, before the meeting, he told the other party about the resources he could use.
As the main combat force in the early stage of the war, participation in decision-making is not only not too much, but it should be taken for granted.
"I will judge whether to participate in the operation and whether to go deep into the Zerg forces based on the situation."
"Can."
The professor seemed to be making an agreement with Lu Li, and after readily agreeing to the request, he warned in a blink of an eye, "Just, no matter what you do, you must discuss it with us in advance, and you must never act alone."
"good."
the other side.
Kamio-san, who was playing a new game, began to draw a third card.
"The Hanged Man turned out to be a death card."
