1,384 Ceres Changes Hands

A few days later, the alien fleet that carried out the interception mission returned to Ceres. The fleets of both sides were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other. They occupied half of Ceres each, and the confrontation turned into a confrontation.

However, it was only the fleet that was confronting. The alien troops underground did not stop for a moment and kept digging in the direction of the artillery array. In order to speed up the progress, I don’t know how many giant insects were exhausted along the way.

Gao Kai knew that there must be a problem underground, but all the servants assigned to the Nanzhou fleet were deployed to Ceres. Even if he wanted to take action, he had no servants to use. If he had to fight, he could only deploy the Marines.

The situation on Ceres was not very clear, but deploying the Marines was definitely not in Gao Kai’s plan.

In this way, the enemy continued to dig holes in the ground, and even opened up the holes left before. It took more than ten days before and after, and finally dug near the artillery array.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the aliens dug through the cave under the artillery array. The enemy soldiers who had been holding back for half a month rushed into the cave like a tide and launched a fierce battle with the servants guarding here. The two sides fought bravely in the narrow cave. Every hole and every corner changed hands repeatedly, and the bodies of both sides almost blocked the cave.

The servants' resistance was extremely brave, but the enemy soldiers who attacked continued to attack, and the servants died one by one. The balance of victory was originally inclined to the enemy, and this made them win more and more, forcing the defenders to retreat step by step.

Gao Kai, who received the news, sighed continuously, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't really throw the Marines in, right? With that little force, it was not enough to fill the enemy's teeth.

How great would it be if the superiors gave more servants?

Gao Kai thought so, and did so. He directly submitted a report and asked his superiors to send more servants, not 10,000 or 20,000, but 50,000 at the beginning.

Huo Qiang almost laughed out loud after receiving the application. He didn't have enough for himself, so how could he have extra servants for Gao Kai? Besides, even if there were extra ones, it would be too late to send them to Ceres now.

In the end, Gao Kai only got a four-word reply: evacuate at the right time.

Gao Kai was discouraged. Is this the rhythm of giving up Ceres? The initial investment was so large, even if Ceres was a bait, don't just give it up, okay?

At this point, Gao Kai had no good solution, he could only take it one step at a time.

The enemy's attack was getting more and more fierce, and the defenders were just the opposite. The troops in each direction were stretched to the limit.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, Gao Kai decisively ordered the defenders to shrink their forces, actively give up some unimportant areas, and gather the remaining servants together.

The abandoned areas were not directly handed over to the enemy. Before all troops withdrew, explosives were placed in advance. Nuclear bombs were even placed in important areas. It would be fine if the enemy did not enter these areas. Once the enemy entered, the defenders would immediately detonate the explosives and collapse the entire cave. I don’t know how many enemy soldiers were buried by the collapsed cave.

If it were on Earth, all the buried enemy soldiers would not be counted well, at least it would be a heavy loss, but it was different on Ceres. The result of the low gravity was that the weight of the earth and rocks falling from the collapse was insufficient. Only a few enemy soldiers were directly killed by the falling rocks, and the others were buried alive.

The servants can survive in a vacuum, and their shells are also strong. Burying in the soil is not a big deal. As long as they are dug out in time, it will be fine.

As a result, after the enemy sent giant insects to dig the cave, 60% of the buried enemy soldiers were fine, and they quickly returned to the battlefield and gradually surrounded the defenders.

Above the defenders was the artillery array. This was the last and most unavoidable area. Even if they knew that the situation was unfavorable to them, the defenders had to nail it here.

The final attack began. The enemy soldiers launched attacks from several directions at the same time. Although the defenders tried their best, the outer positions were still eaten away by the enemy soldiers bit by bit. The positions of their own side were gradually tightened. Failure was only a matter of time.

Gao Kai sighed continuously. When he first sent the servants to Ceres, he really didn't care about these cloned guys at all. However, after a series of battles, both Gao Kai and others had a new understanding of the servants and no longer regarded these brave servants as cannon fodder.

Even if it is a kitten or a puppy, you will have feelings after raising it for a long time, not to mention that the servants have been fighting for humans.

A few hours later, the enemy soldiers finally captured the last position of the defenders. The last servant died, and the cave fell into the hands of the aliens.

The aliens learned from the previous lesson. After mastering the underground space, they immediately launched a carpet search. All the spoils were not allowed to be retained. All human items found in the cave, whether they knew them or not, were sent away first, and nothing was left in the cave, not even the bodies of the servants were an exception.

The aliens had a good idea, but Gao Kai would never give them a chance. He witnessed the last servant fall down. After a moment of silence, Gao Kai gave the order to destroy the No. 2 artillery array.

Gao Kai did not want to destroy the artillery array unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, it was not easy to build this thing. However, the situation was beyond his control. No matter how reluctant he was, he could not let the artillery array fall into the hands of aliens.

The military has never stopped researching aliens, including biochemical technology, science and technology, and social structure.

The research department has a view that the most important reason why alien technology was lost in the long river of history is not the lack of inheritance, but that the alien civilization exhausted the resources on Jupiter's moon Zero during the journey across the stars, which created favorable conditions for the development and growth of biochemical technology.

In other words, aliens are not ignorant of technology, but they gradually decline because they do not have the conditions for development. If human technology falls into the hands of aliens, combined with the ancient technology of alien civilizations, there may be some results.

It is precisely because of this argument that the military tries its best to prevent weapons and equipment from falling into the hands of aliens, and would rather destroy them completely than leave them to aliens.

Just like the Shuwan back then.

As for whether it is useful or not, only God knows.

The communications staff faithfully carried out Gao Kai's orders. The radio waves carried the instructions to the artillery array, and then turned into electric current through the antenna, drilling all the way into the control room of the artillery array, activating the nuclear bomb with a nuclear bomb equivalent of 10 million tons buried underground.

The ground near the artillery array suddenly trembled violently, and then countless sand and stones flew into the sky in an instant, looking like a stone smashed into the water, but it was not splashing water, but countless sand and stones.

Gao Kai sighed, and his heart was like a five-flavor bottle overturned, and he couldn't tell what it felt like.

This explosion killed a lot of enemy soldiers, but Ceres fell into the hands of aliens. No matter how you look at it, it is not worth the loss. If he had tens of thousands of servants, it would definitely not be the current result.

Huo Qiang, who was two astronomical units away, also sighed, and Zhuang Bo, Wu Han, Ye Han and others also sighed.
