Chapter 3114

A war that is not equal.

From the first day of the invasion to now, nearly ten days have passed.

In the ten days, thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers died every day at the hands of those mechanical soldiers and some monsters.

Although the Earth civilization has also paid... perhaps a heavy price, the commander feels that the trend of this war is not optimistic.

The surface temperature of the Earth is too damn cold. The surface temperature of minus eighty or ninety degrees Celsius is very hard even for the octopus monster that can withstand the harsh environment.

Especially now the wind on the surface is very strong. When the wind of minus dozens of degrees is blowing, it will quickly take away the heat in the body.

Octopus monsters are not sunflower monsters. They can't withstand such bad weather. When their skin is exposed to the air for too long, they will be frostbitten.

Once frostbitten, it will become very troublesome, even if they have prepared a lot of supplies to deal with various possible casualties.

But on the Earth civilization side, the low temperature did not cause them unbearable consequences.

The materials, lubricants, and circuits of the robots perform very well under low temperatures. It can even be said that the lower the temperature, the better the performance of these mechanical warriors.

They will not dare to grab the weapons directly with their hands just because they have been exposed to the air for a long time and the temperature has dropped to dozens of degrees below zero.

They will not wear thick cold-proof clothing because of fear of the cold, which will cause inconvenience in movement.

These mechanical soldiers who can run and jump in the ice and snow without even wearing clothes and are extremely flexible have become the most troublesome enemies that the octopus monsters have seen in all these years.

In such extremely bad weather, they are no match for the mechanical soldiers at all. Even if the weapons of the octopus monsters are more advanced, it is difficult to crush the mechanical soldiers.

Now the only thing that can ensure the safety of the ground attack fortress is the space battleships in the sky.

These space battleships will attack the mechanical soldiers on the ground close to the fortress through their main guns to ensure the safety of the ground command core.

But this persistence cannot last too long.

Because energy is limited.

The existence of the octopus monster does exceed human cognition of the past, but it does not exceed human cognition of the essence.

Even if the gods are resurrected and higher-level life awakens from long sleep, they still have to abide by the most basic principles of the universe.

Equivalence.

What you have is equal to what you release. Energy cannot be created out of thin air, but it will disappear due to use.

Originally, they thought that this invasion war might end in three days-

According to their practice against backward civilizations, they would directly attack the political core of the most powerful country, and then issue an announcement to the world through this core.

Then the space battleship fired a few shots at some countries that were not convinced, and the war was over.

But it's different here.

The Earth Star civilization is hidden underground. Although concrete and high-strength steel plates are not able to withstand the attack of the main guns of the naval guns, it is also a troublesome thing to find them.

Whether it is thermal imaging, infrared, or any other method of search, it is cold and dead everywhere.

Without a target, this plan cannot proceed.

At the same time, the war technology of the Earth Star civilization is also shocking. This kind of mechanical soldiers who rush over like ants and like seawater make the commander feel cold from the bottom of his heart every time he sees it!

"We only have two options now."

"First, evacuate here immediately and apply for support. The support will arrive here in about five cosmic months."

"During this time, we can retreat to the edge of the solar system to establish a forward outpost and prepare for the subsequent invasion."

"The advantage is that we can temporarily avoid this kind of war that makes us feel unfamiliar. At the same time, with more supplies and soldiers, we can take the initiative on the front battlefield."

"As for the disadvantages...", the commander blinked his round eyes, "We will not receive any rewards after we go back, even if we conquer this galaxy."

Everyone knows this. An entire fleet went out and was beaten so hard that they didn't even dare to stay on the surface. They fled directly to the edge of the galaxy to wait for assistance.

Whether it is the emperor of the empire or the apostles, they will think that it has tarnished the majesty of the empire/god. Don't even think about promotion and upgrading. Not being severely punished may be the best result.

As the commander's confidants, these captains may be demoted one or two levels, and only a very few with outstanding military exploits can remain unchanged.

The captains did not speak, and it can be seen that they do not support this decision.

"The second option is to prepare for a long ground war."

"I will let the fleet come down and send some engineering machinery to the ground. We will build various military buildings here, mine, produce energy, build weapons, and even... breed."

Although the octopus monsters seem to be able to leave the water and walk upright, they actually still retain the core ability of the octopus's reproductive system in terms of reproduction, that is, oviparity.

An adult female octopus will produce an egg sac every year from adulthood, and there are about 50,000 to 200,000 follicles in an egg sac.

As long as these follicles are fertilized, they will hatch into octopus monsters.

It takes about six years for a small octopus monster to grow into an adult. If they are given enough food, they grow very fast.

There are more than 100 million frozen follicles on the fleet, and there are also many adult females and a large number of males.

They can breed here completely, and these newborns can fight in just ten cosmic months.

"The second option actually has no benefit. The only benefit is to let His Majesty the Emperor and the apostles see our determination to conquer this galaxy!"

"Even if they think we have lost the war, as long as we complete the mission in the end, they will never find any reason to blame us."

"We can't always fight with favorable winds. We will always encounter enemies that are similar to us or even stronger than us."

The commander has never fought with silicon-based life, and there is no silicon-based life in this universe.

So these ridiculously flexible machine soldiers make it difficult for them to judge the difficulty of subsequent wars.

If you say that the Earth civilization is very powerful, they have just walked out of their own living planet and have not even completed the exploration and colonization of this galaxy.

If you say that they are very weak, they are so much ahead in war, whether it is war weapons or strategy and tactics.

So it is very difficult to judge. If reinforcements come and finally find that the Earth civilization is not a strong military civilization, they will definitely not be able to escape the new title of "waste".

So it still wants to hold on, anyway, the Empire gave it two universe years to do this.

After finally unifying their opinions, everyone felt that they could try again.

The commander then ordered some warships to lower their altitude and began to try to build a city.

This is a big project. They actually have robots, but these robots don't look very smart.

All of this was seen by Aurora through Lynch's mental power.

"They plan to take root on Earth." Aurora's eyes were always glowing, and countless machine soldiers were calling its computing power. Now the total computing power is always maintained at about 80% of the power.

The remaining 20% ​​is just to deal with emergencies, and some are reserved.

Lynch sat in a high-back chair, his face looked a little pale. He hadn't rested for a long time since the outbreak of the war.

Sometimes I really can't stand it, so I inject some medicine to stick to it.

Lynch rubbed his temple and said, "This is a good thing. As long as they are not in a hurry to leave, we have a chance to keep them all."

There is no problem in driving the enemy away. The current Earth can barely do it, but driving the enemy away does not mean that the danger is lifted.

On the contrary, because the enemy was driven away, it would cause a greater disaster.

They will not be willing to fail, and will bring more and stronger enemies. What human civilization needs now is time.

As long as there is enough time, Lynch does not think that human civilization will be worse than other civilizations.

So it is a good thing for these people to stay.

He paused, "Are the new satellites ready?"

The first thing the octopus monster did after invading the earth was to shoot down most of the artificial satellites in the orbit of the earth. Fortunately, there are satellites working on the moon and farther away, otherwise the global communication platform would have been paralyzed.

"It's almost ready, and those warships are still a threat to us."

"So I plan to deal with them first..."

Lynch yawned, "Then do it as soon as possible, I will give you the power second only to me, I can't hold on any longer."

The sleepiness made him a little collapsed.

At first, it would be uncomfortable not to sleep, but as you endure it, you will become particularly energetic and excited, as if the whole person has expelled the "sleeping" forever.

But as this excitement passes, there will be a deep sense of fatigue.

Every cell in the body is sending signals to the brain, and they need to rest.

Fortunately, the medicine supported by the School of Life Sciences can give Lynch's body some rest, but even so, he is almost at his limit.

After thinking again and again, Lynch's expression became a little more serious, "I have something that may be helpful to the development of human civilization in the future, but I'm not sure if I should say it."

Aurora looked at Lynch intently, without interrupting, just listening quietly.

He pressed his hair and scalp from the forehead to the back, "It can help humans go further in the interstellar, but it may also be the beginning of human civilization's self-destruction. I'm not sure..."

After a long while, he sighed lightly, "This thing, only you know, if I don't allow you, you can't tell anyone else."

Aurora nodded, "I wrote this into the new basic rules."

Lynch leaned back, as if thinking about where to start, "Do you know the nucleus?"
