Chapter 190 Advancement

The sound that suddenly appeared in the sky was the sharp whistling sound of the volley of the Fiery Silkworm artillery.

The long-range artillery of the Fiery Silkworm is not pure fire damage, but also comes with secondary damage from the explosion impact.

If it hits a dense swarm of insects, the effect will be very terrifying.

Chen Ming had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, so he knew that this scene must not be allowed to happen.

At this moment, a new kind of insect suddenly appeared behind the insect tide.

It looks similar to the cystic insect, but it is obviously different from the cystic insect.

It does not spray acid, but a liquid that can condense quickly in the air.

And this rapidly condensed liquid has the black of the Zerg carapace and the bright green of the Zerg energy crystal.

This makes the sharp cone solidified by the liquid during flight have extremely strong penetration and the property of exploding after being destroyed.

It belongs to a biological armor-piercing explosive bomb.

Although the coverage is smaller than that of another kind of insect that directly sprays a large amount of liquefied unstable energy crystals.

But the ability of pinpoint blasting is obviously not comparable to that of another kind of insect.

And these throat muscles have developed to the point that the crystal cones ejected by the bloated insects have a higher speed, distance, and accuracy.

And this means that they can intercept the artillery of the Fiery Silkworm that is falling in the sky.

There is no atmosphere on the planet where the Zerg and the Mechanoids are fighting.

In the sky, there are only the flaming wreckage of the destroyed orbital defense satellites and the posture of Chen Ming's five cruisers.

The rest is the continuous firing of the Fiery Silkworm, each one is hotter and more red than the previous one, and even close to pure white artillery shells in the end.

Dozens of insects firing crystal cones are scattered in various parts of the insect tide, and it is easy to lock the landing point and trajectory of these artillery.

I saw countless huge fireballs exploded in the air.

Instantly, the earth in the night of this planet was as bright as day.

However, insects are not machines, and actual actions cannot be 100% accurate.

Moreover, the long-range ability of the Zerg is ultimately a weakness. These Zergs cannot guarantee that every crystal cone fired can accurately hit the artillery shells falling at high speed in the sky.

There will still be some fish that slip through the net.

Even if their number is not large, each shell can cause serious damage to the Zerg.

And those Fiery Silkworms located in the center of the mechanical city and the rear of the front line are not threatened by the Zerg.

When their weapons were cooled down, the second batch of artillery fired by the Fiery Silkworms appeared again in the sky above the battlefield, above the heads of the Zerg.

The artillery shells that were almost connected together were like a sword of Damocles, threatening the Zerg's offensive front.

If these Fiery Silkworms are not dealt with, it will be difficult for the Zerg to continue to gain an advantage on the battlefield, and they will gradually be pulled back by the mechanical race.

So.

Chen Ming directly took action himself.

He activated the tachyon spear at the highest point that had been adjusted in advance, and fired at the position where the shells fired by the Fiery Silkworm artillery passed.

Without the interference of the atmosphere, this inclined particle torrent from space swept across the sky, accurately annihilating all the artillery shells fired by the Fiery Silkworm Cluster in the city.

And as the firing of the Tachyon Spear was coming to an end, the aftermath of the converged particle torrent was controlled by Chen Ming to bypass the mechanical cruiser in the center of the city, and headed for the location of the Fiery Silkworm Cluster with flames and explosions along the way.

Large weapons are a dimensionality reduction attack for almost all ground units. Even the last remaining aftermath instantly destroyed these Fiery Silkworm Clusters that could pose a sufficient threat to the Zerg.

When the particle torrent of the Tachyon Spear subsided, a fiery red mark of nearly 10,000 meters and tens of meters wide was left on the earth of the planet due to the angle deviation.

An ugly scar was engraved in the city of the Mechanical Clan.

This scene shocked Chen Ming, the initiator.

But for the Zerg and Mechanical Clan who were fighting after the destructive particle torrent just passed overhead.

What just happened did not affect them at all.

They continued to fight desperately.

It was just that the Zerg had no worries from the center of the city, and could charge towards their targets more recklessly.

The large-sized long-range combat units that the Queen of Zerg created, which could fire crystal cones, could completely output firepower on the front battlefield after no longer needing to intercept artillery.

And as the Zerg continued to advance, another new Zerg appeared on the battlefield.

When Chen Ming saw this new insect, he was stunned for a moment, because this was not the insect that he and the Queen of Zerg had discussed and actively created.

It was just a new thing that the Queen of Zerg herself had made on the battlefield.

This Zerg also had an appearance similar to that of a cyst worm and developed neck muscle tissue.

And what it could spit out was a group of purple fungal balls flowing with thick liquid, which would explode directly after flying a distance in the air.

These exploding fungal thick liquids are extremely sticky and connected to each other, forming a huge capture net.

It is used to restrict the flying mechanical units in the sky and prevent them from suppressing the bugs on the ground recklessly.

Even the fungal net is also difficult to capture these units that can notice the actions of the Zerg, react to the crystal cones fired by other Zergs in advance and flexibly dodge past.

But as long as these mechanical races give up the attack and dodge, it means that the Zerg has not spit out the fungal ball in vain.

And even if the fungal ball does not hit, it can restrict the actions of other mechanical races after falling to the ground, or directly expand the fungal blanket.

Or it can be absorbed by the existing fungal blanket on the ground and turned into nutrients to continue to supply the bugs with the next fungal ball.

And this kind of bug is only playing a supporting role now.

The real anti-air killer move is another new bug that will appear later.

A bug that Chen Ming discussed with the Queen of Bugs before.

It has a flying Zerg with a similar appearance to the Explosive Bug, but the difference is that it has four pitch-black sickle-shaped limbs and a nimble sharp tail with a blade.

Although it may not cut through the white cloud steel armor, it is definitely not difficult to cut through the fragile joints.

The most important thing is that the number of these bugs is far more exaggerated than the number of flying mechanical bodies of the mechanical race.

When the first flying Zerg of this kind appeared on the battlefield, it was only three minutes, and the sky of the mechanical race city was already covered with black.

This is the ability of the queen to reproduce, and it is also the result of Chen Ming's cultivation of the queen during this period.

It must be said that close combat is the ability that the Zerg is best at.

Even after Chen Ming used psychic energy to deeply repair the queen.

As the flying Zerg completely occupied the initiative in the sky, the Zerg quickly cleared all the flying units of the mechanical race that dared to fly in the sky.

However, the shortcomings of the Zerg were immediately exposed.

Or it can be said that the shortcomings of all carbon-based creatures are afraid of fire.

Even if the Zerg has various means to suppress the damage of fire, suppression also requires the assistance of various environments.

For example, the dense Zerg on the ground can share the damage with each other, the large amount of acidic liquid evaporates into non-combustible gas, and the fungal carpet under the feet of the Zerg can also suppress the spread of fire.

All these factors combined allow the Zerg to resist the fire damage of the Fiery Silkworm on the front line and drag the Mechanical Clan to fight with fierce output.

But suppressing fire does not mean completely ignoring fire.

So in the sky, the Fiery Silkworm flame can just play its due effect.

This led to the appearance of hundreds of terrifying flame torrents in the city in an instant.

A large area of ​​Zerg covering the sky above the front line was cleared in an instant, revealing the appearance of space again.

The Queen was forced to temporarily give up the air supremacy and let these Zerg retreat temporarily to find other opportunities.

However, the Mechanical Clan also did not dare to reoccupy the sky immediately, otherwise the flying Zerg that had just retreated would definitely return to the battlefield in an instant to chase and kill the few flying units of the Mechanical Clan.

Even if they risked the heavy losses of being burned by the Fiery Silkworm on the front line, it didn't matter.

The Zerg can use the fungal blanket to quickly recycle corpses, but the Mechanic cannot do this.

So at this time, the battlefield returned to pure ground combat.

Although the Queen of Zerg solved the trouble in the sky, the trouble on the ground did not necessarily decrease.

The Mechanic's invisible units continued to break into the Zerg tide to assassinate.

Even if some of them were completely left behind because of the Zerg's quick reaction, there was no way to stop more invisible units from continuing to appear and assassinate the fragile long-range output Zerg, causing the explosions after their death to affect other Zerg.

Even if there are fungal blankets to absorb the dead Zerg in the first time, it is impossible to completely prevent the unstable liquid energy crystals from exploding.

And there is another problem.

The Fiery Silkworms on the front line are gradually becoming troublesome.

Although the flames they spray are indeed ineffective against the Zerg with various means.

But as the Fiery Silkworms continue to use flame weapons, the heat emitted from the Fiery Silkworms' bodies is constantly increasing.

This high heat hidden in the steel can cause uncontrollable injuries to the Zerg's body when in close contact.

The size of the Fiery Silkworm itself means that it is not only capable of long-range attacks, but also has excellent melee capabilities.

With these two points in place, it is almost impossible for the front-line soldiers of the Zerg to gain an advantage over the Fiery Silkworm.

However, the Queen of Zerg quickly came up with a solution to these two problems.

Spores reappeared on the fungal carpet, which originally did not need to use spores for propagation and reproduction due to the situation of the Zerg itself.

And they were actively raised by the Queen of Zerg, covering the entire battlefield, and were carried by more Zerg, constantly spreading to the surroundings.

Countless purple spots are extremely conspicuous in an environment full of twisted flames and constantly disturbed acidic gases.

Of course, being conspicuous is not the main purpose. No matter how conspicuous it is in this chaotic battlefield, it is useless.

What the Queen wants to do is to make these fungi become sensory organs extended by the surrounding Zerg.

Any mechanical race who wants to fight with the Zerg will inevitably touch these fungi, and once touched, these fungi will immediately stick to the target and emit positioning pheromones to the surrounding Zerg in real time.

The invisible units of the mechanical race are no exception.

They were able to come and go freely in the Zerg tide before because of their mobility and concealment that could not be accurately locked.

The moment they found an opportunity to step on the fungal carpet, interception could no longer be completed.

So the Queen simply covered the entire battlefield with fungi.

Without the stealth effect of optical camouflage, such a mechanical race is just an enhanced version of the flying mantis.

As for the Fiery Silkworm that has entered a high fever state, there is only one solution.

Using the huge insects that the queen of insects later replenished, they relied on their own incredibly thick shells to push the Fiery Silkworms over.

When there is no good way to deal with it, directly using force to overwhelm people is obviously the most efficient way.

The high heat of these Fiery Silkworms cannot directly damage the flesh protected by the shells through the extremely thick shells.

After all the means that the mechanical race can threaten the Zerg were eliminated.

The Zerg once again took the advantage.

Once again advanced a considerable distance into the city of the mechanical race.

However, just when the Zerg were about to advance to the core area of ​​the mechanical race city.

The Zerg suddenly encountered resistance again.

Some stubby figures that were larger than the Fiery Silkworms appeared in the mechanical race city.

Some of them were equipped with two giant cannons with a caliber of nearly 40 centimeters.

And the guns were already flashing with the electric light of electromagnetic weapons storing energy similar to electromagnetic javelins.

After a familiar sledgehammer-like loud noise, shells flashing with bright arcs directly penetrated the bodies of almost all giant Zergs at the front of the battle line and fell into the Zergs in the back.

The shells exploded violently, and the violent impact and flashing arcs whipped the surrounding Zergs.

Broken shells and broken limbs flew together, and the extremely solid black shells could hardly protect them from these shells.

The Zerg suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

Chen Ming recognized them at the first sight. These were the main combat units of the mechanical race, centipedes.

Chen Ming didn't know why this thing that looked like a shortened caterpillar, but had many small limbs supporting it, was called a centipede, but it was indeed recorded in the papers about the mechanical race.

These mechanical centipedes are usually equipped with three types of weapons, namely the Hellfire Cannon, the Charge Cannon and the Charge Machine Gun.

The charge cannon was probably the one that could penetrate the Zerg armor with the strongest defense capability and cause an arc explosion at the point where the shell landed.

The main mechanical body of the mechanical race successfully stopped Chen Ming's Zerg in front of the core area of ​​the city.

Just when Chen Ming was wondering whether he needed support on the ground.

He suddenly found that the second batch of mechanical support had come from space.

And this time, Chen Ming failed to successfully use the equipment to stop them.

It was not because Chen Ming did not have a second device.

It was because the mechanical race did not jump from any position that he judged to be most likely to affect the situation.

They chose to jump to the other side of the planet, where Chen Ming's equipment could not reach, and then flew around the planet.

Chen Ming immediately realized that he still had too little experience in space combat.

Otherwise, he would not have ignored such a place.

Although the mechanical race could randomly select a landing point that they did not know in the entire galaxy to jump in order to avoid being blocked by Chen Ming's anti-jump device, and then fly over.

It can be said that there is no way to stop it, and it is also the way to jump when you know that the enemy has an anti-jump device under normal circumstances.

Although it will cause a delay in joining the battlefield, it is better than not being able to jump at all.

But since the jump location chosen by the mechanical race is the other side of the planet, such a close distance and full of risks.

Then it is indeed Chen Ming's problem that he was not prepared.

But just as Bai Quan suggested and reminded him before.

He will not put all his treasures on the success of the anti-jump device.

The first success was already a pleasant surprise.

The second time, just treat it as his operating error.

In short, Chen Ming does not have much time to take care of the ground now, and the main mechanical bodies of the mechanical race on the ground can only be handed over to the Queen of Insects.

Chen Ming believes that the Queen of Insects will not let him down.

The reinforcements from the mechanical tribe that he was facing now were the real beginning of his assault on the mechanical tribe.

The mechanical tribe's fleet was now advancing towards Chen Ming along the orbit of the orbital satellite defense facility.

Their fleet had a total of eight cruisers, two hundred destroyers and two hundred frigates.

It seemed that they knew the situation on Chen Ming's side and knew that he only brought five cruisers and no escort fleet, so they configured such a fleet.

They wanted to rely on the suppression of cruisers and the interference of more small ships to completely crush Chen Ming in all aspects.

But for Chen Ming, small boats didn't matter at all.

Because as long as the enemy couldn't blow up his cruiser directly, he could rely on psychic energy to maintain the shield and forcibly blow up all the small boats first.

Drag the battle to a fair situation between large ships and large ships, and then deal with the enemy's cruisers.

This time was no exception.

As soon as the mechanical tribe fleet entered the range of his spacecraft, Chen Ming took the lead.

More than a dozen beams of tachyon spears hit the fleet of the mechanical clan.

The small boats of the mechanical clan had no room for resistance when Chen Ming was fully equipped with tachyon spears. As long as the spears swept through, a series of flames would burst out from the mechanical clan's battle line.

Generally speaking, in a normal battle between evenly matched cruisers.

The firepower of the cruisers, which are the main force of the fleet, needs to be output on the cruisers of the other side to prevent the entire battlefield situation from collapsing due to the lack of fighting.

This is even more true for the weaker side. Only by destroying one of the opponent's cruisers first can there be a chance of winning.

But Chen Ming doesn't need to consider this problem at all.

He can just withstand the firepower bombardment of the opponent's cruiser and kill all the small boats on the opposite side.

If the mechanical clan dares to use the loss of real ships in exchange for the loss of his mental power, then Chen Ming will make a profit.

The mechanical clan obviously doesn't know this.

In other words, anyone who fights Chen Ming without knowing his ability will think that Chen Ming is a fool when he sees Chen Ming using the radiation energy of the cruiser to exchange for the damage of the small boat.

So the current mechanical tribe is in the same situation.

They let the small boats lose, and the big ships continue to attack Chen Ming's several ships desperately.

The weapons of the mechanical tribe are all evenly distributed with live ammunition, energy and missiles.

Although they may not be specialized in any one aspect, they can adapt to a variety of complex environments.

However, they are obviously not very good in terms of burst.

So Chen Ming just relied on his mental power to bear the beating of the mechanical tribe's weapons in silence and cleared all the mechanical tribe's small boats.

No ship can withstand the destruction of the tachyon spears that can be fired almost unlimitedly.

As time went on, the mechanical tribe finally found something wrong.

The number and density of the tachyon spears that Chen Ming can fire are somewhat higher than normal.

Moreover, the radiation energy increased by activating the tachyon spear and the radiation energy increased by the shield damage should have exceeded the upper limit of Chen Ming's ships.

These cruisers should have collapsed long ago, and it is impossible for them to continue to stand there.

The radiation energy capacity of the mechanical cruisers has been nearly half under the continuous firepower output, and they have been outputting at a higher frequency. At the same time, the shields of these ships that are still suffering damage have no signs of overload.

This strange situation made the mechanical family immediately slow down the firepower offensive, and at the same time let the remaining less than ten small boats retreat immediately.

The mechanical family slowed down the offensive, so Chen Ming had to take the initiative to put some pressure on them.

The flight deck hatches on both sides of the Stardust class, which had been in the back position and used its only tachyon spear to fish, were all opened.

The Meteorite unmanned fighters, which have similar Terminator unmanned fighters to the rainstorm, came out in full force.

The tail flames of the meteorite fighters drew arcs in space, sweeping towards the mechanical fleet like stardust.

As soon as the first batch of fighters came out of the hangar, Chen Ming used the repair psychic power on the meteorites. Countless materials instantly condensed into a new batch of meteorite fighters and flew out of the hangar again.

Then the third batch.

A total of 1,600 fighters rushed to the mechanical fleet, and the entire battlefield was like a grand fireworks show.

These meteorite fighters continued to accelerate and overload during the flight. The fuselage gradually began to turn red, emitting a red breath that seemed to be filled with blood.

Under the effect of Chen Ming's repair psychic power, they crashed into the mechanical cruiser with an overload efficiency several times higher than normal.

At the same time, with the support of Chen Ming's unreserved mental power, the hull, which had been overloaded for who knows how many times, was maintained, just for their last moment.

Anyway, when the second and third batches of fighters came out of the hangar, Chen Ming no longer expected these fighters to turn back.

He just wanted to see the big waves now.

Thousands of red meteors continuously bombarded the only remaining cruiser of the mechanical race.

The number of Meteorite drones, which was more than ten times the total number of the Mechanical Clan fleet, all exploded in just a dozen seconds.

The sensors could no longer clearly see any situation of any Mechanical Clan fleet. Chen Ming could only see through the scanning array of the highest point and the images sent by the Meteorite drones at the last moment before the explosion.

It can be roughly seen that the Mechanical Clan's cruisers are all finished.

Five of the eight cruisers have exploded under the attack of the Meteorite, becoming several large pieces of space junk.

The overloaded arcs on the hulls of the remaining three cruisers, the completely broken armor, and the shaky hull structure have confirmed their failure.

As Chen Ming easily won the battle in space.

He immediately began to control the highest point and began to arrange various afterglow individuals to prepare to recover those cruisers as trophies.

At the same time, he continued to pay attention to the situation of the Zerg on the ground, just like before.
