Those "massive" Venusian Zerg species cannot fly very fast because of Venus' dense atmosphere.
So after escaping the atmosphere of Venus, everyone was able to evacuate into space.
"Ship the battleship and meet them!" On the reconnaissance ship, Xiong Manni commanded the battleship to fly at high speed, and at the same time sent out space drones to intercept the pursuing Zerg.
"I found you!" Huang Sheng's head was flying in space. He was rescued by a drone armor, returned to the battleship, and put into a prosthetic protection box.
His consciousness was connected to the battleship's computer, and a holographic projection appeared on the battleship.
"You're taking too many risks!" Xiong Manni scolded.
"It's indeed a bit risky." Huang Sheng was also very depressed. His own prosthetic organ modification was expensive. "Fortunately, we also gained a lot."
"At least we know the information about the Zerg on the surface of Venus, which is much richer than the information we detected before."
Mentioning this, Xiong Manni also had lingering fears.
She said: "I can't believe that the Zerg on the surface of Venus would actually look like this. It's completely different from the ones we captured in outer space before."
"If we send a warship directly there, I'm afraid we will suffer a big loss."
Huang Sheng said: "I now understand why Venus is so close to Blue Star and the Zerg on Venus did not attack us directly. It turns out that their life forms are different, resulting in differences in behavior."
"We need to take these samples back immediately and hand them over to the Biological Research Institute for research."
As they were talking, there was a loud explosion on the ship, and the observer shouted: "Captain, we found a large number of meteorites in the nearby space area!"
On the screen of the reconnaissance ship, they saw meteorites as big as mountains flying towards them.
Their size is no less than that of Mars' moon Deimos, and there are even giant meteorites the size of Phobos.
"Meteorite?" Huang Sheng's expression changed upon hearing this, and he said, "There are no satellites or large meteorites near Venus, so it must be the Zerg!"
"Accelerate the retreat, overload by 10%."
"Yes!" The battleship's engine began to overload and accelerated rapidly.
Mercury and Venus have no moons because they are too close to the sun to have a reasonable gravitational influence on nearby objects. Satellites that are too far away from them will be in an unstable orbit and thus be pulled and captured by the powerful sun with its amazingly high gravity.
On the other hand, if an orbiting satellite gets too close to a planet, it will be torn apart by strong tidal forces. Or, in the case of Venus, the moon would lose energy due to atmospheric friction and crash into the star.
So Huang Sheng immediately judged that these were Zerg.
Sure enough, those guys started chasing and surrounding them, firing rays and metal bullets at the same time.
Unmanned space planes and space mechas will be destroyed in less than a second in the face of their attacks.
The power of metal bullets is more powerful than the most powerful electromagnetic gun on the reconnaissance ship!
Not to mention the ray, Huang Sheng had to let the battleship start the energy shield and overload the engine at the same time.
At this time, the battleship's thrusters were already in a highly worn state. He couldn't care so much and wanted to escape from here first.
"There is a giant meteorite in front of us, approaching us at high speed!" Xiong Manni controlled the detector and found the target.
"Fire the electromagnetic gun and space hydrogen bomb to crush it!" Huang Sheng ordered.
Several space hydrogen bombs and electromagnetic guns were fired together. Rays and metal bullets were emitted around the meteorite, intercepting half of the attacks.
The other half hit it directly, and light flashed in the dark space. Part of the meteorite fell off and cracked, revealing a body that looked like a special alloy.
Huang Sheng saw that the broken body was generating high temperatures, like metal melting, and the injuries were recovering rapidly.
"Oh my god, can you still recover like this? This is too bt!" he complained.
"Our hydrogen bombs and electromagnetic guns are useless. Judging from its size and mass, plasma rays and plasma cannons must be useless," Xiong Manni said.
"Try using the proton missile!" Huang Sheng launched the proton missile again.
There is no plasma protective layer on the surface of the Venusian Zerg. The proton missile directly hits its body, protons and electrons, generating a super strong electric field.
In this case, if hit by this proton missile, even a junior planetary overlord will die directly!
And this giant metal beast did not slow down at all and continued to rush towards the battleship!
"It ignored the attack of the proton missile!" The crew members were extremely horrified. The proton missile was one of their most powerful weapons at present, but it was actually ignored by this guy!
How to deal with such a terrifying behemoth?
"Run, run!" Huang Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "This is impossible to fight!"
"It can't run away, it's faster than us! And the coordinates are in the area in front of us." Xiong Manni said.
There are still a bunch of Zerg chasing after them. If this continues, they will only die in space!
"Command, this is the L4 reconnaissance ship Z-66. Our ship is in crisis and it is judged that it cannot escape!" Huang Sheng calmly sent a message to the command. He has experienced life and death crises countless times.
At this time, not only Luo An was in the headquarters, but He Xingzhou, He Hongwei and others also arrived.
He Xingzhou said decisively: "Abandon the Z-66 immediately, take the escape ship and space armor, and bring the samples back. Our support ships are nearby, waiting for rescue."
The target of a battleship is too large and single, making it an easy target.
"Received!" Huang Sheng said.
"The entire ship listens to the order, abandon the ship immediately, take the samples and escape!"
"Z-66 activates automatic attack mode to cut off our rear."
"Yes!" The crew members were very reluctant to give up. No one was willing to give up their warship, but they knew better that staying here at this time would only cost their lives in vain.
So they quickly sent the samples to the escape spaceship, and at the same time released all the mechas and space drones on the battleship to confuse the enemy and escape at the same time.
"Z-66 has activated the automatic attack mode. I will escort you all. Everyone, have a safe journey." The battleship's intelligent program said goodbye to them.
"Z-66, have a good journey." Everyone whispered.
Xiong Manni drove the escape spacecraft, took Huang Sheng's brain with her, and headed to the nearest support battleship Z-47.
Behind them, the Z-66 slowed down and poured out its energy and weapons without reservation to attack the incoming enemy.
Under the firepower output regardless of energy conservation, the pursuing metal beast was also injured. The bombing of space hydrogen bombs, the impact of electromagnetic guns, and the high-temperature smelting of plasma rays. Even the special alloy body cannot withstand such high and mild attacks.
Most of its body was injured, which made it very angry.
"Damn human, you actually hurt me!"
"I want you to disappear completely in this universe!" It withstood the output and accelerated again!
The crew members were observing this scene at the same time. They saw that the metal behemoth was like an asteroid, crashing into the battleship with unstoppable force.
Z-66 still wants to evade, but the surrounding magnetic field has been locked by it, and its movement speed has been greatly affected.
In space, the L4-class space reconnaissance ship Z-66 was transformed into a bright ball of fire.
Its weapon defense system and energy shield play a negligible role in front of such an attack!
The first destroyed L4-class space battleship of Blue Star Civilization was born.
"Gan!" Huang Sheng cursed lowly and said: "The body was also blown up, and the battleship was also blown up. Many brothers died. It is so embarrassing to be a captain for the first time!"
"Sooner or later, I will get this situation back!"
After the metal behemoth destroyed the battleship, it no longer bothered to pursue those scattered targets.
In the nearby space area, three reconnaissance ships arrived for support, and they picked up the crew of the z-66 to the battleship.
The metal behemoth did not pursue it. It withstood Z-66's attack and hit it, which had already injured it.
It didn't know the number of human warships, so it chose a safe approach.
"This is the L4 space reconnaissance ship Z-47. Our ship has successfully received Z-66 Captain Huang Sheng and Deputy Captain Xiong Manni, and is rescuing other crew members one after another." Z-47 Captain Ouyang Bo told the headquarters send Message.
"After the search and rescue, the Z-47 returned to the Blue Star Spaceport." He Xingzhou said, "The other reconnaissance ships continued to conduct reconnaissance in the orbit of Venus to monitor the movements of the Zerg."
"Reconnaissance ships near Mercury also pay attention to monitoring and increase inspections."
"Yes!" All ships have received the order.
"Captain Huang, you actually landed on the surface of Venus by yourself, you are so cruel!" On the Z-47, Ouyang Bo sighed. As a captain, he actually killed his own body and the battleship just to detect intelligence.
Such ruthless people are rare in the fleet.
"There is no way. The reconnaissance robots sent to Venus can't find any information, and they often lose contact." Huang Sheng said, "At least the information obtained this time is pretty good, otherwise we will suffer a big loss!"
"That's right. Who would have thought that the Zerg of Venus are actually two different life forms from the Zerg of Blue Star and Mars." Ouyang Bo nodded.
…
A few hours later, the battleship returned to the Blue Star Spaceport, and Song Jinghong and others had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as the fleet returned, the captured samples were sent to the Outpost Research Institute for research.
He Xingzhou rushed to the research area in person and tested this sample with everyone.
"This is the body analysis report of the giant stone worms." Zhuge Yi introduced the situation of the stone worms to He Xingzhou and Song Jinghong.
"The main elements of its body are silicon, iron, nickel, titanium, aluminum and other elements, which are similar to the basalt on the surface of Venus. These elements are restructured in its body and become a high-density rock structure and special alloy."
"The rock structure is stronger than diamond and extremely dense. The special alloy is stronger than the armor of some of our space battleships."
"It has both carbon-based organs and silicon-based organs in its body, which is between carbon-based organisms and silicon-based organisms. It is a species we have never seen before!"
After seeing the test report, all the biologists were puzzled. This is the first time they have seen such a creature. Can it be between carbon-based creatures and silicon-based creatures?
Jiang Chan said: "Everyone, I compared the analysis results of several samples. I found the ratio of carbon-based organs and silicon-based organs in each stoneworm, and found that the proportions are different depending on their degree of evolution."
He Xingzhou looked at her and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes." Jiang Chan nodded slightly and said, "I guess at first the Venusian Zerg were the same ones we captured before, all carbon-based organisms. But the harsh conditions of Venus are not suitable for the survival of carbon-based organisms, and the surface of Venus is rich in metals. The elements allow them to choose another evolutionary direction.”
"In their genetic templates, there are organs that can refine metal elements. Similar to how some animals and plants can absorb small amounts of metal elements to enhance bone strength or condense their shells."
"They gradually converted carbon-based organs into silicon-based organs, which resulted in what they are now."
Song Jinghong said: "Your point of view is very interesting. If we follow this idea, the Venusian Zerg with a higher proportion of silicon-based organs will have a higher degree of evolution. In the end, they will completely evolve into silicon-based Zerg!"
He Xingzhou said: "Judging from the battle scenes, it is indeed possible."
"Our proton missiles hit it, and with the intensity of the electric field, the organs of the carbon-based creature would have been rewired and the brain would have died."
"But the Zerg was actually unscathed, and its body is already made of special space metal like a battleship, and it can repair itself."
"This matter is really a headache." Luo An said, "We are studying biological warships, but the Venusian Zerg has evolved into silicon-based life. Will biological warships still have any effect on it?"
"Of course it has an effect." He Xingzhou said, "The biological battleship's ray weapons can still destroy its body, but it is not as powerful as we originally thought."
"Including our battleships."
"Judging from the combat situation of the Z-47, if we launch a direct attack on Venus now, we will probably fail."
Everyone was deep in thought. He Xingzhou himself had not thought of this situation.
He thought that after creating the main fleet and biological battleships, he would be able to capture Venus and Mercury. Now the Venus Zerg alone gave him a headache, not to mention that there were still a bunch of Zerg living on Mercury.
"What kind of weapons are needed to kill them?" He Hongwei asked the biologists.
Biologists are not sure. Song Jinghong said: "This is the first time we have encountered silicon-based Zerg. It is not like the Martian Zerg, which uses plasma weapons to pierce key organs, or proton missiles that can kill them by electrocuting them." Die. Now I can tell that if I let it smash, it will definitely kill it."
"It's such a big metal beast. No matter how you smash it, even a space hydrogen bomb can't blow it up!" Luo An racked his brains and couldn't think of any good solution. "Unless our planetary orbital gun can be built in advance, this kind of guy , only the planetary railgun can kill it, right?"
Everyone was silent and Luo An was just joking. It will take decades to complete the planetary orbital gun, and it cannot move. By the time it reaches Venus, the target will have long since disappeared.
"There will always be a way. First pay attention to their dynamics and take precautions." He Xingzhou said.
They were thinking of a way, but the Venusian Zerg seemed not to give them this time.
The reconnaissance ship has detected that since the last attack, the activities of the Venusian Zerg have become much more frequent. A large number of Zerg Kings have entered space in advance and seem to be preparing to launch an attack!
