One Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy-Three 1 There Must Be a Bottom Line

Since the rise of the aliens, the orbital elevator has been useless. Since then, the most effective means of ground-to-air transportation has been the electromagnetic track of the Qiongzhou base.

In recent years, the aliens have almost occupied the entire tropical region and are gradually expanding in the north and south directions based on the tropics.

Qiongzhou is located in the tropics and is one of the tropical strongholds still in the hands of humans. It is almost under the eyes of the aliens. It is simply a thorn in the eyes of the aliens and one of the areas that the aliens focus on.

Moreover, the electromagnetic track has limited capacity. Every time it is launched, the aliens will try every means to intercept it. Beidu also tries every means to destroy the aliens' interception. The two sides have fought countless battles around the Qiongzhou launch site. As long as there is a spacecraft launched, there will definitely be a round of exchange of fire.

Although the Qiongzhou launch site has always been firmly in the hands of Beidu, the aliens' attacks are becoming more and more frequent and larger in scale, and anti-interception is becoming more and more difficult. Therefore, Beidu's current principle is to use it if you can, and use it as little as possible.

If the Qiongzhou launch site is lost, the transportation between the ground and the air can only rely on carrier rockets, which are costly and have poor transportation capacity. It will be troublesome to enter space again.

Considering various factors, Ye Han must control the scale of orbital airdrops. On the premise of ensuring victory over the enemy, the smaller the airdrop scale, the better, and the number of people returning to space should be reduced as much as possible.

The number of enemies discovered by the satellite is not large, and two squadrons of servants are enough.

The first batch of servants fell into the atmosphere, and the airdrop capsule was immediately wrapped in a layer of gorgeous flames, falling to the ground like a group of meteors.

The airdrop capsule was extremely fast, but the aliens' reaction was not slow. Several light insect air defense positions appeared on the ground at the same time. Hundreds of light insects fired at the falling airdrop capsule at the same time. A series of thin lights shot up into the sky. The airdrop capsule shuttled at high speed in the dense forest-like thin lights. Many airdrop capsules collided head-on with the thin lights and were cut in half on the spot.

Ye Han's face was as gloomy as water. This scene reminded him of the airdrop during the expedition to Jupiter... Have the aliens on Earth become so powerful? Even the light insect positions dare to be released blatantly?

One-fifth of the first batch of airdrop capsules were lost in a blink of an eye. At this rate, we should be thankful that one-third of the airdrop capsules can land in the end.

He ordered without hesitation: "Fire coverage, cover the airborne troops, add another batch of airdrop capsules, and then drop two squadrons every half a minute!"

Anyway, they are all servants, and the cost of cloning servants is very low. Even if four squadrons are lost, Ye Han doesn't feel bad.

On the other hand,

If a few of his soldiers are sacrificed, he will be in a completely different mood.

"Yes!" Lin Yi agreed loudly, and immediately threw a batch of airdrop capsules without servants to the earth. Half a minute later, a squadron was airdropped, and another squadron was airdropped half a minute later.

At the same time, the firepower on the ship was all aimed at the light insect positions on the ground. Lasers denser than fine light fell from the sky, burning the light insects that crawled out of the ground one by one.

Many light insects exploded after being hit by lasers, and their power was comparable to that of heavy artillery.

Ye Han did not find it strange at all. The top leaders of various countries noticed this problem a long time ago and captured light insects for research. They have studied light insects thoroughly and are very clear about the composition of the two high-energy liquids in the belly of light insects.

The energy density of the two liquids is amazingly high. It is a very high-quality high-energy fuel. If the two high-energy liquids are used to replace the explosives in the shells, the power of the shells can be increased by at least three times!

The problem is that the chemical composition of this thing is dizzyingly complex, and the difficulty of artificial synthesis is simply nightmare-level. Therefore, until now, all research is still at the laboratory level, and it is a long way from practical application.

Some people have proposed the suggestion of artificially breeding light insects, but this idea is simply impossible to achieve at present, and the cost and benefits are completely disproportionate.

Back to the point, under the strong suppression of Ningwu Pass, a large number of light insects on the ground died, the anti-aircraft firepower became weaker and weaker, and two-thirds of the airborne capsules successfully landed at an altitude of 20,000 meters.

At this time, the shell of the airdrop capsule exploded automatically, and the broken shell accompanied the airdrop capsule. Each piece of shell fragments looked like an airdrop capsule.

They landed together with the airdrop capsule. Looking from the ground to the air, it looked like hundreds of airdrop capsules fell at the same time.

The airdrop capsules in the sky attracted the attention of the alien servants. They quickly occupied the advantageous terrain, stared at the sky, and made preparations for air defense.

Soon after, the airdrop capsule slowed down at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and then the inner layer of the airdrop capsule exploded, releasing the servants who had been wrapped in the capsule.

The servants immediately vibrated their wings to slow down the falling speed while searching for hostile targets. No matter whether it was a giant insect or an alien servant, as long as they were discovered by the eyes of the human servants, they would be shot at immediately.

Compared with humans, the equipment of the servants was simple and almost crude, with only a simple exoskeleton and an enlarged armored rifle.

Does the military have the ability to equip the servants with better weapons and armor? Of course there is, but it is totally unnecessary. An exoskeleton can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the servants, and equipping them with power armor is a complete waste.

Moreover, these servants are mainly used for ground combat. If they are equipped with full-coverage power armor, their wings must also be covered in the armor, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the servants.

As for the armored rifle, there is no need to say more. It is a completely enlarged version of the current armored rifle. Its performance in all aspects is very excellent. The rifles provided to the resistance organization a few years ago are simply incomparable.

Nearly a hundred servants flapping their wings were high above, firing at the alien servants on the ground from a high position, with an astonishingly high hit rate.

The alien servants were not to be outdone, and kept shooting at the human servants in the air. A stream of light swept across the sky, and many servants were hit by the light and broke into two pieces in mid-air.

At the critical moment, a large number of alien servants came out from nowhere, and all the alien servants fired at the air together. The human servants in the air felt the pressure and the casualty rate suddenly soared.

Ye Han wanted to order a wave of warships to support, but the airborne servants were above the enemy. No matter what weapons they used, a round of firepower covered the enemy. It was hard to say whether the enemy would die or not, and at least more than half of the human servants in the air would die.

Ye Han really didn't care much about the life and death of the servants, but no matter what, these servants were also fighting for humans. Although he didn't admit it on the surface, deep in his heart, he was very opposed to this idea of ​​using any means to achieve his goal.

At any time and under any circumstances, people must have a bottom line!

Servants are indeed cannon fodder, they can indeed be sacrificed, and they can indeed be ignored, but the sacrifice must be meaningful, rather than throwing them into the battlefield and destroying them together with the enemy.
