One Thousand and Eight Shells, Shells!

The charging servant army was not much better. They did know more about human weapons than the noble army, but they only knew a little more. No one knew that there were a lot of steel balls in the shells.

In a moment of distraction, several more shells fell on the noble army, which immediately cleared a large area of ​​the noble army's front line. Another shell that missed the target fell behind the front line, immediately breaking the wave of the charge. As a result, the servant army suddenly found that the enemies in front were dead or wounded, and few of them could stand up.

Faced with this situation, Ye Han and others who were watching were also stunned, but they soon figured out the reason.

Nothing else, it's still an environmental problem.

A 120mm high-explosive mortar shell has a mass of about 16 kilograms, contains about 4 kilograms of explosives, and the explosion can reach a range of 1,000 square meters!

The above is the explosion data on Earth, so what about Ganymede?

The gravity here is less than one-sixth of that on Earth, and the atmosphere is thin with almost no air resistance. The steel balls that exploded and flew could fly faster and farther. It was just the most common 120mm shells, but they had the effect of heavy artillery. One shell flattened half of a football field. The explosion effect alone was simply insane.

However, although the coverage area was large, there were fewer casualties and more injuries. Most of the noble soldiers who fell to the ground still maintained their combat effectiveness.

However, a large number of shells hit the noble army, and each shell flattened at least half of a football field. Countless steel balls ravaged the battlefield, and the steel balls covered the front line over and over again. As long as they were still within the power range of the shells, they would inevitably be covered by the steel balls. Regardless of the casualties, they were repeatedly penetrated by the steel balls in the continuous bombardment. The light injuries immediately became serious injuries, and the serious injuries died in an instant. The killing effect was extremely good.

In fact, the power range of each shell is larger than the area of ​​a football field, but the charging noble army is so densely packed, and the servants are covered with thick shells. For various reasons, the power of the explosion is weakened, which gives people the illusion that only half of the football field can be blown up.

After the first two waves of shells cleared the standing noble army, the power of the remaining shells was fully demonstrated. The greatly expanded strike range was beyond the expectations of both the enemy and us. Many servants who rushed to the front were hit by steel balls in a daze, and they were confused until they died.

The effect of the bombardment was unexpectedly good. The servants immediately seized this rare opportunity. Countless servants rushed out from behind the warships and rushed towards the nobles at the fastest speed in their lives.

Ye Han also saw the opportunity and promptly ordered the artillery fire to extend to the rear of the nobles, and ordered the troops to disperse the impact points as much as possible to maximize the lethality of the shells.

Although the noble army tried their best to maintain the front line and also brought heavy casualties to the servant army, under the cooperation of artillery fire and servant army, the noble army's defense line still inevitably collapsed.

The noble army did not show weakness either, and controlled the light insects to fire fiercely at the attacking servant army. Every time a thin light swept through, it could sweep down all the servants on a fan.

The charging servants immediately changed their tactics. Some of them fell forward and lay on the ground, crawling forward with their whole body tightly pressed against the ground; some jumped high and low, constantly using the terrain to cover themselves; and some moved left and right, using short-distance sprints to avoid the thin light.

There is no way to avoid the thin light 100%, but there are always lucky servants who avoid the cross-cutting of the thin light.

This situation continued until the shells hit the light insects.

The power of the steel balls is limited and cannot penetrate the shell of the light insects, but the servants who control the light insects do not have such a strong shell. Several shells exploded in the air about five meters away. The nearby noble soldiers fell under the steel balls one after another. The number of thin lights was reduced by more than half, and the pressure on the entire front was relieved.

The servants took the opportunity to charge. A moment later, a large group of servants arrived and killed the remaining noble soldiers with a burst of gunfire. Naturally, they took over hundreds of light insects... This batch of light insects should be the first harvest of the resistance organization on Ganymede!

Light insects are just a kind of insects, without the ability to distinguish between enemies and friends, or light insects are just a living weapon.

When to fire and in what direction to aim are all decided by the servants who control the light insects.

Taking over this batch of light insects is equivalent to seizing a batch of heavy artillery, which is equivalent to adding a batch of heavy firepower to the servant army. The servant army in front immediately manipulated the light insects to turn, and hundreds of light insects aimed at the follow-up noble army. The thin light on them suddenly swept through the army, knocking countless noble soldiers to the ground.

The follow-up noble army was in bad luck, and more than half of them were killed by the thin light. The originally round belly of the light insects was completely thin. If it was fat at the beginning, it is now at most slightly fat.

Luo Qi, who witnessed this scene in the back, was stunned: "Oh my god, how can this insect lose weight so fast?"

Ye Han pulled the corner of his mouth: "Where do you think the thin light comes from?"

Luo Qi was stunned: "You mean energy conversion, the stored fat is converted into the energy of the thin light? Impossible?" He learned little, but he knew what the law of conservation of energy was.

Ye Han corrected him, "It's not fat conversion, but chemical mixture conversion. What's stored in the lightworm's stomach is not fat, but two chemical substances. They are usually stored in two sacs in the stomach. When they are used, they are squeezed into a reaction chamber to release energy and emit fine light. The emission process is similar to that of a chemical laser."

"There is such a thing?" Luo Qi widened his eyes in surprise, "Growing a laser in the butt, this is too fucking magical!"

Ye Han rolled his eyes: "Magical shit, light bugs are artificial creatures, okay? Also, that thing is called a light emitter, it's under the belly, not in the butt!"

Luo Qi smiled awkwardly: "Hey, I thought that thing grew in the butt!"

Ye Han shook his head helplessly and didn't go into it any further.

This matter is not a secret to the top human beings, but it is an absolute military secret to ordinary people and middle and lower-level officers.

Speaking of light bugs, we have to start with the Maple City incident in 2026. At that time, the military seized several broken alien battleships and found a device for generating fine light from the wreckage of the warship. The military named this equipment a fine light generator.

The research found that this thing is very similar to a chemical laser. As long as a specific chemical substance is sent into the reaction chamber, a beam of fine light with extremely strong cutting force can be generated. From the human point of view, this thing is a relatively special laser weapon.

And these two chemical substances were also found in the wreckage of the warship. The quantity is small but the energy contained is very high.

In order to further study the properties of fine light, the military conducted a large number of experiments and soon used up most of the seized chemicals.
