Chapter 193 Biotechnology, Enhanced Fleet, Countermeasures

At Lin Feng's call, Zhiyi quickly came over.

When she saw the picture played on the other party's mobile phone and the scarred tank nearby, she frowned slightly and explained in a low voice:

"This is the variant attack method of the second-order Windwing. It is roughly equivalent to a human attack aircraft and is a support fighter-bomber."

"Because there are a large number of Baneling Bugs mounted on its abdomen, its flying speed is actually not very fast. It slows down to about Mach 1, which is more than 300 meters per second."

"But after such modification, the egg-bearing windwings pose a great threat to ground troops!"

"Each second-order wind-winged insect can carry more than a ton of supplies, and the self-exploding insect, which is not even a first-order insect, only weighs five kilograms..."

"So a second-order Windwing can carry two hundred self-banaling insects, and the bombing range is enough to cover 20,000 square meters, an area of ​​three football fields."

"Furthermore, because the level of the Baneling Bug is very low, the hatching and production speed is extremely fast. Simply put, it is a biological stomach sac, similar to the liquid hydrogen sac in the red beetle's body. The raw materials only require electrolysis of more water, so the energy heat generated by the explosion The value is extremely high, and combined with the hard and thick armor on its surface, it can cause large-scale fragmentation damage.”

Speaking of this, Chiyi gave some advice:

“Although the self-banaling insect is very powerful, its explosive properties also make it extremely fragile after leaving the wind-winged insect. If it encounters the slightest impact and collision, the hydrogen and oxygen mixture inside will instantly detonate. "

"So the heavy machine guns on the tank and the fragmentation impact caused by their mutual explosions can detonate them in mid-air."

"But to achieve this, the firepower density required must be higher. It is difficult for a tank with more than ten years of experience to deal with the continuous bombardment of a group of second-order wind-winged insects."

"The Baneling Bugs are too small, and some even have several tail wings that can control the direction of their fall, so it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net."

"Thousands of Banelings are swooping in from all directions. Without sufficient firepower output, it will be difficult to stop them."

After listening to Zhiyi's introduction, everyone looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

Lin Feng took a deep breath:

"What Zhiyi said is right. The fastest solution at the moment is to increase the firepower density, create a large firepower net in the sky, and try not to let them get close."

"So the war is all about logistics. Now we need to build more tanks! Use the tanks as firepower points to block the entire airspace!"

Then he looked to Li Ran aside:

"Can the second line of defense fortifications withstand the Baneling Bugs?"

Li Ran thought for a moment and shook his head:

"It's difficult. At the beginning, we didn't consider that the Zerg would have bombing capabilities, so the shooting holes were all parallel to the surface."

"The reinforced concrete poured on top is only about one meter thick. According to the data given by Miss Lin, the power of the self-banaling bug is similar to that of an anti-tank gun. Although it is not as terrifying as an anti-tank mine, as long as it is fast enough, , the impact of the explosion can still penetrate a fifty centimeter concrete wall."

"So, as long as it is hit by two self-banaling bugs in a row from the same direction, it will definitely penetrate the top fortifications."

"But that's not the worst part..."

Li Ran thought of another possibility:

"If the baneling bugs fall in front of the defense line, they will easily be hit by the defenders in the shooting holes with machine guns or artillery. When they explode in mid-air, high-speed fragments and shock waves will cause a large number of soldier casualties through the shooting holes!"

"In fact, from what I just observed, the damage to many tanks in the fleet is actually due to the Baneling bugs being hit by bullets at close range, which exploded in mid-air, causing the weak roofs to be hit by fragments."

The cockroach nodded. There is no solution if you have control of the air.

This trick was not used extensively by the Zerg when they invaded other planets, because the alien races on those planets either lived in the ocean, or like the Red Tribe, had already emptied most of the red planet, and their civilization lived underground.

But now it seems that this tactic is most useful for humans living on the surface.

But the premise is that the opponent's air power needs to be suppressed, and the Zerg must first gain control of the air.

In fact, as a surface civilization and with a rare and favorable living environment like Blue Star, humans should vigorously develop aviation technology.

However, due to the fact that civilizations have not yet achieved global unification, there are internal conflicts among themselves, and the development time is too short, their air and space power is very weak.

Before the Zerg invasion, looking around the world, only a few major countries had the ability to independently produce fighter jets, and the number of fighter jets capable of combat was only over 20,000.

Although it sounds like a lot, don't forget that there are more than a thousand Zerg Queens alone. The combined number of Greenwings and Windwings is more than 100,000?

Therefore, even if the Zerg have long-term shortcomings in aerospace power, they can still suppress the Blue Star humans.

It was only because the Federation, as the world's most powerful country, had nearly 5,000 fighter planes, that the Coastal Queen did not dare to launch large-scale aerial bombings at the beginning of the war.

Looking at it now...

If you want to deal with the Green Winged Insects' harassment, you can still use ground air defense forces, but to deal with the Wind Winged Insects' high-altitude strikes, there is only one way:

Kill it from the air and send out flying units with speeds close to Mach 2 or 3 like it.

However, now Blue Star's human satellites are basically scrapped, and ground radars are also affected by electromagnetic pulses, making it impossible for surface-to-air hypersonic missiles to track and lock on targets.

In addition, the Windwing has the same high maneuverability as the Greenwing. It can ground itself instantly, hover and turn 180 degrees. In terms of flight performance, it far exceeds all large fighter aircraft developed by humans.

So it seems that the only solution is to form a group of soldiers with the ability to fly.

When Xieyi thought about this, Lin Feng obviously realized that relying on ground air defense to resist the bombing was just a passive defense, and the initiative was still in the hands of the Queen Mother.

The Sea City Empress can consume human logistical resources and disperse their blocking firepower at a very low cost, thus providing containment and cover for the real main ground attack.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng said:

"If the second line of defense cannot hold it, then reduce the number of defenders inside and concentrate all the firepower on air defense, and no longer assume the mission of blocking the insect tide."

"Because only ten tanks can effectively annihilate a swarm of tens of thousands of Black Spine Insects. Coupled with the fire support of the Dreadnought Warships, even if they face hundreds or thousands of second-order Tiger Spine Insects, they can be easily suppressed."

"We have an absolute advantage on the ground battlefield, so we must use the mobility of the fleet to continue to push the battle outbreak point forward and strive to gain more depth."

"In this way, you don't have to worry about the opponent using the second-level pulse war scorpion to attack the second line of defense from a distance."

About ten kilometers behind the second line of defense is the shore of East Taihu Lake. The Wucheng defenders are actually fighting with their backs against the wall, so they naturally have to show the courage to fight against the odds.

As he spoke, Lin Feng pointed to the five heavy-duty trucks that had finished unloading their goods behind them. Next to them, there was a hill-like pile of more than 500 tons of fine steel:

"I can probably synthesize more than 40 tanks now, and the total can be 60, which can carry at least 1,200 people. They are divided into six teams in total, surrounding the dreadnought battleship, and the two front teams are responsible for the attack. For the ground insect swarm, the left and right wings are responsible for both fire support and air defense, while the two squads at the rear of the dreadnought are specifically responsible for defending against self-banaling insect attacks from the air. "

After saying that, Lin Feng controlled the dreadnought battleship to turn the bow, sail to the vicinity of the pile of fine steel, open the collector on the bow to clean the battlefield, and swallow more than 500 tons of fine steel into the storage space.

After the invasion, the Dreadnought battleship slowed down a lot. With Lin Feng's remote control, its stern hatch opened wide, and brand-new LV19 flying-wing battleships slowly drove out.

Although the battle this afternoon was fierce, the fleet that was hit did not gain nothing. In addition to devouring a large number of black spine worm corpses, some green wing worms that came to investigate were also directly shot down by Chen Yanyan and the sharp-eyed soldiers.

In the end, a total of seventy or eighty green-winged insect corpses were collected.

It is enough to produce more than 40 flying wing chariots at present, combined with the consumption of copying.

As the chariots drove out from the rear hatch of the dreadnought battleship, they stopped at the station square.

It gives everyone the illusion that a whale is giving birth to a baby.

It is as if this dreadnought battleship also has the ability to automatically produce and synthesize.

While everyone was stunned, Lin Feng was checking the properties of these battlefield replicas:

"LV19 Flying Wing Chariot—Replica, Red Quality"

"Not upgradeable, defense 150, damage 130, average speed 150km/h, cruising range 1000km"

"Extra attributes: biological armor (defense +50), armor-piercing locomotive (damage +20),

Unlimited firepower: twelve heavy machine guns, 40 damage, unlimited bullets

Multiple artillery: five lv19 shotguns loaded, damage 1, 5000 ammo ready, bullet recovery 1/1s

Ground effect flight: speed increased by 150km/h, able to adapt to complex waterway terrain, fuel consumption increased by 100%, and cruising range reduced by half.”

"Note: As a replica, it cannot be upgraded, but it can obtain energy supplements from the original land cruiser, which can be used for endurance travel, spare ammunition and damage repair consumption."

Compared to the original flying wing chariot, this replica has more shared attributes.

Spare ammunition and automatic damage repair can all draw energy from the burning of Zerg corpses from the Dreadnought's dry land boating properties.

This is of extremely important significance for extending the combat capability of the tank.

In Lin Feng's view, these special changes...

Perhaps because they were produced directly from the body of the dreadnought battleship, there has been a strong connection between the two since the birth of the replica tank.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Feng can remotely control the lv19 flying wing tank directly through the lv29 dreadnought battleship.

Chen Yanyan, who was behind Lin Feng, obviously also noticed this rather magical point.

In the end, more than 500 tons of fine steel, thousands of black spine insects and dozens of green wing insects were consumed to produce forty-five flying wing chariots.

Together with the remaining fifteen tanks, a total of sixty tanks were made. And this power, coupled with the dreadnought battleship, is enough to easily deal with the impact of the Zerg in Haicheng.

In addition, the last few dozen tons of fine steel were synthesized by Lin Feng into more than three hundred lv19 shotguns to arm the soldiers who followed him.

Lin Feng immediately called Li Ran:

"Select a group of late-stage first-order awakeners, about three hundred of them. Each of them will be equipped with a shotgun. Then they will follow me to carry out another important plan."

Li Ran nodded, called the captain in the war camp, and began to screen and gather.

At this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that following the leader Lin Feng would definitely bring the greatest benefits, and the risks were controllable. The next best option was to join the fleet and become a gunner on the chariot. Although this would involve certain risks, it would be easy to kill a large number of black-spine insects and advance to the peak of the first order, so the gains would also be considerable.

Excluding the 300 temporary guards of the leader and the 1,200 members of the fleet, the remaining 3,500 soldiers could only stay on the second line of defense, or be responsible for the later command and support of the substitute team in the camp.

Not only was there the risk of being bombed, but there was no benefit of killing insects to advance...

So the discerning eye immediately signed up to become the leader's direct team, and the rest who were not strong enough also actively went to the fleet to apply to become a gunner.

Taking advantage of the gap in personnel arrangements and transfers, Lin Feng repaired the 15 damaged chariots that were returned from the battlefield one by one.

Then he took out the remaining dozen pairs of blue-winged insect corpses in the storage space from the rear hatch of the dreadnought battleship.

At present, at most a dozen lv19 red and black flying armors can be made from them, but the endurance of each set is only about ten minutes.

So from the perspective of the flight limit speed, altitude, and duration, the flying soldiers wearing red and black flying armors can't perform the task of attacking the second-level wind-winged insects at an altitude of thousands of meters.

This is also one of the obvious shortcomings of the armor.

Although it retains the solid defense and flight ability of the Zerg, it is difficult to adapt as flexibly as the Zerg because there is no matching flesh support supply.

After all, one is a burden worn on the body, and the other is a naturally grown part of the body.

The current flight performance problem is a concentrated reflection of this aspect.

When the membrane wings of the green-winged insect grow on it, it can be used at will, as long as the body has sufficient energy, and it can fly continuously for several hours without worrying about overheating of the membrane wings.

Because the root of the membrane wings is connected to the blood circulation of the whole body, and the whole body is blown by the wind during the flight, and the heat is naturally dissipated.

Unlike the flying armor, it can only last for ten minutes due to the overheating problem of the membrane wing root.

Lin Feng took out the body of the green-winged insect at this time, actually looking for a way to solve this problem.

He turned his eyes to the eight second-level battle groups that were gathering and reorganizing.

But according to the division of gene warriors and ordinary awakeners, the battle group is now divided into four ordinary battle groups, with 80 members and five leaders, and three gene warrior battle groups, with 70 members and three leaders.

So with Lin Feng's approval, Liu Yi became the general leader of the four ordinary battle groups.

It is also the main force that follows Lin Feng to carry out the decapitation plan this time.

As for the gene battle group composed of gene warriors, Lin Feng is ready to give them a difficult and easy task:

Form an aerospace group to deal with the high-altitude self-explosive insect bombing used by the Queen Mother of Haicheng!

At this time, night has fallen.

The number of patrol sentries in the entire camp has increased tenfold, and everyone has applied to be tight and ready!

Under Lin Feng's order, Shen Jie brought 72 gene warriors to the room where the bodies of the green-winged insects were stored, and then processed the insect bodies in front of everyone.

Pull off the membrane wings on their backs, and cut off the thick muscle ligaments at the roots.

Then he ate them in big mouthfuls.

While eating, he said:

"Since you have my cell genes in your body, you can naturally activate the ability to fly. The green-winged insects and black-spine insects are actually from the same source..."

"Try it, it should be able to activate that part of the gene!"

After saying that, he threw the other half of the membrane wings in his hand to a gene regiment leader in front of him.

After the other party took it, he swallowed unconsciously.

In the quiet room, in addition to the crisp chewing sound from Shen Jie's mouth, a swallowing sound suddenly sounded.
