Chapter 1460 First Battle

From the military's arrangement, it can be seen that the entire war zone has moved forward a lot.

The military command center is only a day's journey away from the entrance of the passage ahead.

Qu Jianlei and his party took a short rest for a day, and then entered the passage accompanied by the regiment-level ship.

At the other end of the passage, there are also a large number of imperial warships and several space fortresses.

Farther ahead, many engineering ships are laying space mines.

As for the movements of the Winged Hand Tribe, they cannot be observed for the time being.

The front-line military contacted them as soon as the regiment-level ship arrived.

Because Qu Jianlei and others refused the military to board the ship, the two sides only communicated through the intercom channel.

The military said that many small teams have been sent out to explore the overall situation of this world.

Then they suggested that if you want to join the alliance, it is best to change a starship.

Qu Jianlei also thought of this problem. The regiment-level ship is not only standard, but also has a large digital phantom logo on it.

What is rare is that the military also gave a solution-they can provide a starship with an appearance similar to that of the Alliance civilians.

There are obvious differences in the appearance of the Alliance warships and the Empire warships, and the difference in internal structure is even greater.

The military can imitate the Alliance warships, but they are only similar in appearance.

The key is that there are too many certificates required to drive an Alliance warship.

The difference between the civilian starships of the two countries is not particularly large, and the internal structure is also similar.

So the military provided a variety of civilian starships for Digital Phantom to choose from, as well as counterfeit passes, etc.

Of course, only they have the right to choose, and other exploration teams basically use whatever they are given.

Qu Jianlei chose a heavy-loaded cargo starship that looks larger and has good firepower.

The military applied to send people to accompany the ship again but was rejected, so they expressed the hope that they could keep relevant records.

Under the attention of many soldiers, the regiment-level ship grabbed the heavy-loaded merchant ship and moved forward all the way, disappearing into the depths of space.

Less than a day after the starship flew, a large area of ​​trees appeared in front.

When they first discovered it, they could have bypassed it.

But everyone wanted to give it a try to see how strong the opponent's defense capabilities were.

According to Yi He, these trees have basically left the category of wood and are closer to alloys.

In the world of locusts, weaker trees have long been eaten to extinction.

These trees that can survive are almost impossible for locusts to chew.

That's right, the Chiroptera in the military's mouth is called locusts in the world of immortal cultivation.

It's just that compared with real locusts, they are larger and have a pair of human hands.

As for locusts knowing spells? Yi He said that's not a big deal, there are all kinds of things in the world of immortal cultivation.

However, the world of locusts is not exactly the same, just like the world of human race, some focus on technology, and some focus on immortal cultivation.

From this aspect alone, Yi He's evaluation of the Empire, Alliance, and Federation is not too low.

At least while focusing on technology, there is also its own extraordinary system.

If only focusing on technology, the human race's own body will degenerate, and the world of immortal cultivation has also encountered similar human worlds.

Of course, the awakener system was established with the help of immortal cultivators, so it can only be said that these human races are lucky.

These are far-fetched, but Yi He can basically confirm one thing.

No matter how different the locust worlds are, trees and locusts are in a symbiotic relationship.

Now these trees, which are basically alloys, are not actually dead, but are looking for a suitable planet to take root.

Once such a planet is found, the trees will soon come back to life, and the locusts will be able to reproduce more offspring.

When the planet can no longer bear more trees and locusts, some trees will retract their roots and wander in space again.

The meaning of the existence of locusts is to help trees kill and conquer planets.

Trees can fly at a relatively fast speed in space, and locusts are responsible for controlling the direction.

Yi He can only make such a judgment, and the rest depends on everyone's exploration.

The regiment-level ship put the heavy-loaded merchant ship into the cabin, and released three small attack ships, rushing straight towards the vast sea of ​​trees.

At a distance of about 300,000 kilometers, the small ship rushing in front began to fire.

The regiment-level ship also began to shoot with various ship-borne weapons to test the hardness of the trees on the opposite side.

The trunk thickness of these trees ranged from 40 to 50 meters to 100 to 200 meters.

After several attacks, everyone roughly determined that the main guns of the company-level ships could break the defense.

If the secondary guns of the company-level ships aimed at a position and took multiple attacks, they could also break the defense.

It doesn't look very difficult to hit, but the problem is that a tree is only broken in a certain part, which is not a big damage.

If you want to make a tree burst, you must at least use the specifications of the battalion-level ship's main gun.

And to completely blow up a tree, the main gun of the battalion-level ship must come at least ten times!

In theory, the cost of ten shots is not too high, but there are too many trees.

Just say that the forest in front of us is densely packed, with at least hundreds of trees, and there may even be more than a thousand.

The good news is that although the trees move fast, they are still slower than the starship.

It's just that the mobility of the trees has led to a decrease in the hit rate of the artillery.

You can imagine that if you want to completely destroy this large area of ​​trees, the price you need to pay is definitely not cheap.

And these are just trees. If you want to kill the locusts inside, you still need to use a lot of firepower.

Calculated in this way, the cost of war to eliminate such a group of aliens is definitely not low.

If there are too many such tree groups in space, the finances of a country can't bear it at all!

This is just an economic account. In addition, everyone is still observing the fighting style of the aliens.

What surprised everyone was that these aliens did not give in at all in the face of the powerful attack of the starship.

The trees went forward under the artillery fire, and being blown up would not affect other trees.

Some trees scattered, but they were not trying to escape. It seemed more like they were thinking about outflanking.

Fortunately, the movement speed of the trees could not catch up with the starship, and these tactics were basically futile.

But from this, it can be seen that the opponent is really fearless. For intelligent races, this reaction is not normal.

However, Yi He said, "Their intelligence may not be very high. Don't think that they are smart just because they can use magic."

"Isn't it the same with gold diggers? Without long-term learning, their cognition is very limited."

But the ruler shook twice in the air, "Elves are born to seek benefits and avoid harm. There is something wrong with what you said."

Yi He replied disapprovingly, "If they can't find a planet to take root, they will die. Does it matter how they die?"

Trees can not only fly, but also attack.

Black silk threads were ejected at a very fast speed, and it felt like they could tear space apart.

The starship observed this abnormal energy, the fluctuation was very weak, and the distance was short, and it disappeared after hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

But even so, Xiao Hu still controlled the four starships to avoid the black line, not wanting to touch it at all.

As the trees were blown up one by one, shuttles rushed out, and their target was still the small ships and regiment-level ships in front.

What surprised everyone was that the flying speed of the locusts was actually faster than the trees.

The good thing is that their speed still couldn't catch up with the starship.

However, these locusts were extremely persistent and would not rush to other trees to live, but rushed to the distant starship in vain.

"Try to attack these locusts," Qu Jianlei issued an order.

The wings of these locusts were not opened, and it was unknown how strong their defense could be.

Soon, the test results came out. The outer shells of the wings were not only hard, but also had a certain toughness.

Ordinary artillery could not pose a threat to them, and even some rays were bounced back.

The only thing that could cause effective damage was laser weapons, but they had to hit them head-on.

The two small attack ships responded differently, one facing the black line and the other facing the locusts.

The attack ship that touched the black line broke the defense directly, and the protective shield played a minimal role.

The good thing is that this attack ship took the initiative to test, and the part that touched the black line was not important.

But even so, this small ship began to retreat and had the intention of leaving the battle.

The other small ship wanted to fight the locusts in close combat to test the opponent's aggressiveness.

Facts have proved that even if these locusts open their wings, the defense inside is not too bad.

According to the analysis of the attack results, ordinary Gauss guns can only cause minor injuries when hitting the opponent's chest and abdomen.

There is a very tough membrane on the chest and abdomen of the locust, and its ability to resist physical attacks is not bad.

However, it has little resistance to attacks such as radiation and lasers.

And the attacks such as stone cones and ice balls sent by the opponent can basically pose a certain threat to the protective shield.

Small ships are famous for being fragile, but even if they are fragile, it depends on what they are compared with.

Just in terms of individual combat power, the locust is only a little over two meters in size, but it can cause such damage, which is really a bit scary.

The most troublesome thing is that these alien races really fight to the death.

Because there is only one small ship in the fight, many locusts find that they can't catch up with other starships, so they turn around and besiege.

After a few minutes of fighting, the small ship began to sound the alarm. Not only did it run out of energy, but the protective shield was also broken.

This small ship began to speed up to escape, but another injured small ship that was about to retreat suddenly rushed over.

After rushing over, the mechanical arm of the small ship stretched out, grabbed seven or eight locust corpses, and put them into the ship one by one.

Seeing that the locusts were about to turn around and attack again, the small ship grabbed two more pieces of tree fragments and accelerated away from the scene.

At this point in the battle, the three small ships released by the regiment-level ship had basically run out of ammunition and food.

So Qu Jianlei released three more small ships to support the retreat of the three starships.

The three ships that retreated were not put into the cabin, but were caught by the mechanical arm of the regiment-level ship.

——Unknown alien races, ghosts know what impact they may cause, it is better to handle them with caution.

Even Yi He agreed with this, "Don't look at the many worlds that the Xiuxian world has contacted, and every time it is quite careful."

(Updated to, calling for monthly tickets, follow-up subscriptions and recommended tickets, dedicated to my friend Jiujie's "Daily Stronger in Crossing the Alien World", the style is delicate and the plot is reasonable.)
