Chapter 485: The Meteorite Falls From the Sky

In the command room of the frontier fortress, all departments have entered a state of alert, especially the air defense department, which is reporting equipment status data.

"Lock and fire."

"Don't think about anything else, just destroy as many as you can before they enter the atmosphere."

Will, who was standing on the podium, was giving orders.

Unfortunately, as soon as the order was issued, the executive staff fell into hesitation.

"These off-orbit asteroids are much larger than those encountered before..."

"Destroy the smallest one first."

At this time, Lu Li who appeared suddenly took over the command, "Defend according to this principle and destroy as many meteorites as possible."

"yes."

"Order to turn on the turbolaser at 85% power output."

"Opening, port A1 has been opened."

"Port A2 has been opened."

"The port A3 has been opened."

"Power loading."

With the continuous roar, the entire military base began to shake violently, shaking the cups and saucers on the table, spilling all the coffee and drinks.

General Otto, who was imprisoned at this time, was also startled suddenly, and sat up abruptly. Apart from the turbo laser cannon being turned on, he couldn't think of any other weapons in the base that could make such a big commotion.

"In the end what happened?"

As soon as the words fell, the general instantly thought of the reason. He turned pale with fright, got up in a hurry, and kept banging on the iron gate, "Zergs are attacking! Let me out!"

In the past few times when the Zerg launched a test, the base only used two turbolaser cannons, and they were not at their maximum power.

Now this news... all three laser cannons must have been used.

Total attack?

Otto felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He kept banging on the iron gate and staying in this ghostly place. Once he encountered the Zerg that broke in, there would be only one end.

It's a pity that the soldiers guarding the vicinity have already rushed to other areas, looking for large troops and inquiring about news, and have no time to take care of the old leaders.

bang... bang... bang...

The percussion ranges from rapid to slow and then to a pause.

"The number of meteorites has been confirmed, a total of thirteen."

"Five were successfully disintegrated, and three more were fragmented and expected to burn up in the atmosphere."

"The turbolaser gun has entered the cooling stage, and the barrel needs to be replaced." The technician in charge of the attack unit quickly reported the situation.

Will was infected by the tense atmosphere in the command room, and asked subconsciously: "When will the next round of attacks start?"

"At least eight hours." The technician shook his head, his voice trembling: "After precise calculations, the remaining five meteorites will break through the atmosphere in twenty minutes."

"Where did it fall?"

Among a group of flustered people, Lu Li stood out, even if he wasn't the chief officer of the fortress.

It's so peaceful that you won't care if the sky falls, as if you are not afraid of death.

"One goes straight to the sentinel satellite, and the remaining four are all within a thousand miles around the base." The technician tapped a few times on the light screen.

Soon, a specially processed picture appeared in front of everyone.

It is the terrain distribution map around the military base, with four green dots on it.

"After breaking through the atmosphere, how big will they be?" Lu Li remained calm.

"After burning, their areas are all about the same, their lengths are between 40 meters and 50 meters, and their estimated speed is 4,000 kilometers per hour."

The technician was born in Roche Biotech. He is reliable and thoughtful. He introduced it in detail:

"The system predicts that four impact craters with a width of 1.6 kilometers and a depth of 200 meters will be formed at the crash site, and the base surrounded by meteorites will split apart in an instant."

Since there is an impact, it will definitely cause a shock wave, which in turn will cause an earthquake.

At that time, no matter how strong the military base is, it will be cracked, and the fate of everyone staying in this iron coffin is self-evident.

"At least half of the combatants will be killed by the shock, and the others will either be comatose or disabled. Only a few lucky ones will be able to stay awake, but those high-precision weapons will suffer varying degrees of damage."

After saying these words, the technician fell silent, quietly watching Lu Li, waiting for his final order.

"The whole team, board the ship."

Since the ground can't stay, then go to the air. As for the problems caused by overloading, I can't take care of it. Anyway, it's not going to deep space, so there won't be any big troubles.

"yes."

At this time, no one stood up to question Lu Li's decision. Everyone began to pack their things and documents, and then evacuated the command room in batches.

The same is true for the soldiers who assembled urgently, frantically flocking towards the transport ship, with a capacity of 500 people, squeezed down nearly 1,000 people.

About fifteen minutes later, the fleet rose, and all combatants and non-combatants withdrew from the military base, including General Otto.

In the end, Lu Li still didn't forget about this guy. After all, after successfully seizing power, it would be black-hearted if he killed him again.

[The meteorite is expected to land in three minutes]

In the command room of the main battleship, massive data emerged out of thin air.

"Where is the support fleet?"

Lu Li raised his eyes and looked up to the sky through the porthole.

"It will take ten days to arrive at the fastest." Will shook his head and answered truthfully.

As the heir of the family, its importance is self-evident. However, it is useless to rush the reinforcements. The spaceship has entered full-speed flight mode and cannot go any faster.

"As long as it doesn't enter space, the spaceship can stay suspended forever." Lu Li frowned slightly, as if he was talking to himself, "But what should we do with the food for six or seven thousand people? You can't even eat energy bars."

There is equipment for producing synthetic food in the base, but unfortunately it is too big, and the time is so urgent that everyone has no time to take care of themselves, so how could it be taken away.

"Let's wait until the meteorite hits the ground first."

Luo Yi was still wearing sunglasses, standing next to Lu Li, waiting for the meteorite to land.

Since landing on this planet, the situation has been developing in the worst direction, which is completely different from expectations.

Roche Biotech is not the only one who has this idea, and Professor Taylor and his team are also at a loss.

The original plan was to send a task force to investigate deep into the Zerg territory, but it turned out to be a passive defense.

"coming."

In the crowded cabin, someone suddenly made a sound.

I saw four bright spots appearing in the dark night sky, and they were falling at an extremely fast speed.

"Commander." A technician walked in, and since he couldn't get close to Lu Li, he yelled from afar, "The satellite is lost."

"knew."

After Lu Li replied, he didn't say any more.

On the trajectory of these four big fireballs flying past, a few streaks of light appeared from time to time, and these small bright spots also slid across the night sky with a long tail flame.

Without explanation by technicians, it is also known that these Martians are fragments that were stripped off when meteorites passed through the atmosphere.

Without the protection of the atmosphere, if these four meteorites were allowed to fall, the entire planet might fall.

After all, a meteorite with a width of ten kilometers can knock out a crater with a radius of nearly a thousand miles, and trigger a series of disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, which is beyond human power.

Let alone four.

The flames reflected Lu Li's face in alternating light and dark, and he ordered: "Order the fleet to climb up until it reaches a safe height."

The correspondent immediately turned on the instrument and conveyed it.

If the diameter of the meteorite is more than five kilometers, the shock wave caused is likely to lift the material near the impact site into outer space, and the meteorite with a diameter of 50 meters, although it cannot make such a big movement, it can also lift a large amount of impurities into the sky , must be avoided.

"Is there no volcano nearby?"

Looking at the brighter and brighter fireball, someone couldn't help asking.

"Extinct volcanoes and active volcanoes do not exist. We have to thank our ancestors. Every military base they built avoided these dangerous zones."

"But it still fell, and there will be no so-called frontline outposts in the future."

These words came from General Otto. Now he doesn't hold grudges against Lu Li's behavior of robbing his squad and seizing power. He just wants to get through this hurdle safely and return to the rear alive.

Based on this, Otto kindly reminded: "The initial meteorite full of Zerg spores caused the death of nearly a thousand elites. If the spaceship was not mobilized in time to suppress it, the casualty data would be even higher."

"There are four in total this time. You'd better proceed with caution. First, cover with a few rounds of firepower, and then send fighters down to harvest."

Seeing that the general was speaking extremely seriously, Will didn't interrupt it. Up to now, he still has full confidence in Mr. Lu, and he can make correct decisions without being taught by others.

"If the Zerg didn't have air defense capabilities, I would do that." Lu Li said something meaningful.

【warrior】

【Jumper】

Both are basic Zerg fighters, and Zerg is actually divided into many classes.

But, if I remember correctly, they come from a civilization called Arachnis, in which there is a huge plasma worm whose tail can emit ion lightning-like balls, penetrate spaceships in space orbit, and change the flight of meteorites track.

The Arachnis Zerg has been probing for so long, and finally launched an attack. The probability of sending only basic fighters can be said to be very small.

In the war that will break out next, there will likely be plasma worms and tank worms. The former is responsible for fighting for air supremacy, while the latter is an infantry killer.

Just as he was thinking, the spaceship under Lu Li's feet began to shake slightly.

Four meteorites with a diameter of nearly 50 meters fell to the ground, and the heat energy generated by friction with the atmosphere and the energy released by hitting the ground all burst out.

Four walls of fire with a height of at least three kilometers and a temperature exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius rose up, instantly sweeping everything within a hundred miles of the pothole.

"Thanks to the desertification of the land, there is no vegetation for thousands of miles around the base." Otto said bitterly: "Otherwise, once they are not transferred to the air, everyone staying in the underground bunker will be dried out by the high temperature."

"Thousands of tens of thousands of years later, if humans from other civilizations come here for scientific research, they may be able to dig out our fossils."

Hearing this, Lu Li glanced at this guy, but ignored him.

pessimist?

Broken pot?

It's fine to complain in private, but this guy is speaking in the command cabin of the fleet, where all the officers and technical personnel are located.

"Just kidding, liven up the atmosphere."

Under Lu Li's scrutinizing eyes and Will's threatening eyes, Otto coughed a few times. He realized that he had said something wrong, and immediately shut up after explaining a few words, for fear of being locked in a small dark room again.

"The war half a year ago showed that the high temperature cannot kill the eggs left by the Zerg on the meteorite."

Compared to spores, Lu Li felt that the term insect eggs was more scientific.

In addition, now is not the time to be entangled in the title, just make sure everyone can understand it.

"The last time it was a sudden attack that caused catastrophic losses. Now, we are fully prepared and have mastered the air supremacy early on."

As a leader, Lu Li always had to say something to boost morale, no matter what the real situation was.

It is not always possible to say that the Zerg is coming fiercely, we will lose this battle, it is better to wait for death.

"That's right, the various spaceships we brought are all equipped with attack units, especially the main battleship, which can launch various tactical missiles, covering a radius of thousands of miles twice."

Will took the bait, cooperated with Lu Li's encouragement, and analyzed: "Combined with the original small attack ships in the base, it can completely suppress those Zerg."

"It takes a certain amount of time for the eggs to hatch. Let the fleet disperse and attack the four craters with firepower."

Lu Li made a preliminary battle plan.

After a while, those experienced officers immediately made detailed arrangements around it to ensure that the distribution of firepower was reasonable.

"How is the armor?"

Seeing that everyone's emotions had stabilized, Lu Li led Luo Yi to a quiet corner.

Standing next to Will and others, the only one missing is Miss Celine, who has fallen into a deep sleep and successfully avoided the war.

"One hundred, all intact, ready to go into battle at any time."

The third-generation heavy-duty mecha, the cutting-edge individual weapon newly developed by Roche Biology, has excellent performance and powerful firepower. To be honest, the mecha that Lu Li carried with him back then couldn't compare to them.

However, without the first-generation mecha as a blueprint to provide inspiration and ideas for research and development organizations, let alone the third generation, the first generation would not be able to be produced.

After all, going from zero to one requires subversive innovation from scratch, which cannot be achieved simply by hard work.

"After the fire strike is over, you put on mechas and act with me."

If it were someone else, when they heard this, even if they didn't say it, they would still murmur in their hearts, "Is it possible for the Zerg to survive after the firepower is covered?"

However, Will and the others had blind admiration for Lu Li, they never asked why, they would only carry out tasks without compromise.

decisive battle?

The place where the curtain ends.

Different from the calm expression on his face, one thought after another emerged in Lu Xin's mind.

Compared to the universe, an individual is indeed too small, and after only one year in this world, he feels exhausted.

"However, if it's just the Arachnis Zerg, it can't drag me down in an away game."

"Are there any new surprises?"

With complicated emotions, Lu Li checked the crater through the monitoring equipment of the spaceship.

Below, thick smoke filled the air.

In the scorched earth, insect eggs began to crack open, and small life forms of different shapes crawled out. They had wisdom, no selfishness, no fear, and super reproductive ability.

At the same time, it has a perfect population social system, which can quickly establish civilization.
