One Thousand Five Hundred and Thirteen, Afraid that the Insects Won’t Come

People can hold on, the base can hold on, but without ammunition, what can the soldiers use to fight the enemy? Just laser? Infrasound and microwaves?

Liu Huaidong admitted that these weapons did play a very important role, but these weapons alone could not stop the attack of the insect swarm, unless these weapons could be used like rifles, one for each person.

He deeply realized that with the current situation, the base alone could not stop the swarm of insects. He must get support from his superiors in order to defend the base.

The warships coordinated by Beidu have arrived over the base, but the equatorial base is shrouded by a newly formed tropical cyclone. Thick clouds block the view from space, and the two warships are helpless.

They can indeed use artillery shells to support the ground, but the space battleship's reserve of artillery shells is limited. In high-intensity battles, these artillery shells will not last long. Lasers are the warship's real trump card.

At this time, there was no environment to use lasers, unless a super nuclear bomb was used to blast through the thick clouds.

But let’s not talk about the series of consequences caused by the use of super nuclear bombs on the earth. Even the equatorial base cannot withstand the violent power of the super nuclear bomb. When the insect swarm does nothing to the base, the nuclear bomb destroys the base first.

It was hard for Liu Huaidong to believe that it was a coincidence that the aliens chose this time to attack. Although he didn't want to believe it in his heart, Liu Huaidong knew that the aliens must have mastered the laws of weather changes on the earth. Ninety-nine percent of this attack was caused by aliens. People deliberately take advantage of bad weather.

This is not a good sign.

The aliens' advance continued until dawn, and the weather became increasingly bad. Strong winds whipped up huge waves and hit the coast. The heavy dark clouds covering the sky finally turned into heavy rain.

The heavy rain failed to slow down the insect swarm, but its impact on the defenders was not as great as usual.

The power of the laser penetrating the rain curtain is greatly attenuated, and the energy carried by the directional microwave is all consumed by the raindrops. The range of these two weapons in the rain is less than one-tenth of normal conditions. If the insect swarm does not rush to the edge of the protective wall, It won't have much effect.

Only the infrasonic cannon was least affected, and it still maintained its proper range. However, the range of this thing was not that far in the first place, so it really didn't make much difference whether it had any impact or not.

Liu Huaidong doesn't like these new gadgets not because he is stubborn, nor because he is biased against new equipment, but because these new gadgets are too immature, and their weaknesses are as prominent as their strengths.

But traditional equipment is different. Guns and guns have experienced centuries of ups and downs from their birth to the present. Early guns and guns cannot be used in such weather.

But what about now? No matter how bad the weather is,

Rifles and cannons are unaffected.

Liu Huaidong believes that after hundreds of years... no, only a few decades of development, lasers and microwaves may not be affected by weather conditions. But now, they are still in their infancy and are far from mature. When it matures, it must be used with caution.

He believed that Beidu also had this concern, otherwise the base would definitely have more than just a few pieces of new equipment.

The battle situation reversed, and the originally sparse sounds of gunfire suddenly became intense, and guns once again became the main force in resisting the insect swarm.

The wind is getting stronger, the rain is getting heavier, the fighting is getting more intense, and ammunition is being consumed much faster than expected.

As of three o'clock in the afternoon that day, half of the ammunition depot had been emptied. Whether it can hold on until this time tomorrow is questionable.

If all the reserves are used up, the base will be finished.

In desperation, Liu Huaidong contacted Beidu, reported the situation in the base to his superiors in detail, and requested that the troops be withdrawn underground.

After careful consideration, Beidu agreed to Liu Huaidong's request.

The moment the communication ended, Liu Huaidong took a deep breath and immediately issued an evacuation order.

The defenders quickly withdrew underground, and according to Liu Huaidong's order, all exits were sealed. The heavy metal doors were closed tightly one by one, isolating the underground from the ground.

The weapons on the protective wall were still functioning to resist the approaching insect swarm, but except for the infrasonic cannon, the remaining weapons were of little use. Ten minutes later, the insect swarm broke through the protective wall.

Liu Huaidong, who retreated underground, witnessed this scene through the monitoring equipment. He calmly clicked a few times on the touch screen, and a flashing red control interface appeared on the screen.

Liu Huaidong inserted the key hanging around his neck into the console and entered a large number of passwords on the screen. Suddenly there was a dull roar above his head, and then the ceiling shook violently. The screen that originally showed the situation on the ground seemed to have made an appointment. The screen loses its picture at the same time.

If there are still people on the ground at this time, they will see six smoke trails rising at the same time around the equatorial base in the storm, and then six mushroom clouds explode in the sky, and they are evenly distributed around the base in a regular hexagon, each explosion The distance between the point and the base is one kilometer.

These are six neutron bombs that have been buried in advance. The absolute killing radius of a single neutron bomb will be less than one kilometer. However, if six neutron bombs explode at the same time, they can cover a huge area with a radius of two kilometers and an area of ​​12 square kilometers.

And this is precisely the area where the insect swarm is most concentrated. Countless giant insects and insect-men gather here, and are penetrated, penetrated, and penetrated again by the high-speed neutron flow from the air!

Only the servants are in better condition. It's not that they are resistant to neutron bombs, but the heavy rain has a great impact on the servants. It is difficult for them to fly in the rain, so most of the servants have been evacuated by the aliens. On the battlefield There are only a few hundred servants left. Compared with the swarm of insects that are rushing around at every turn, these few servants are only slightly better than none.

Although Liu Huaidong in the underground command headquarters did not know the details of the situation on the ground, he could fully imagine what it would be like after the neutron bomb exploded. Even if there were still bugs alive, they probably wouldn't survive for long. Now he was looking forward to it, looking forward to the aliens again. Send over a batch of bugs.

Although the neutron bomb planted in the base exploded, there are still two space battleships in the sky. The space fleet is most in need of nuclear weapons. Ten or twenty of them is just trivial. It depends on whether there are more bugs from aliens or humans. There are many nuclear bombs.

After a while, the screen was restored, and the base in the heavy rain remained the same. Both the protective wall and the weapons on the wall were all intact. If it weren't for the insect corpses all over the ground, it wouldn't have been attacked by the insect swarm - it would hurt people but not destroy things. This is the biggest feature of the neutron bomb.

Liu Huaidong hesitated for a moment, then resolutely sent a force to the ground, repairing equipment and replenishing ammunition with great fanfare, as if he was afraid that the aliens would not see it.

That's right, they were afraid that the aliens wouldn't be able to see them, because the purpose of this force was not to regain the ground, but because Liu Huaidong was worried that the aliens would be frightened by the neutron bomb and would not come back again, so he deliberately sent a force to seduce the insect swarm.

There are plenty of neutron bombs, but the insects won’t come!
