The fungus carpet on the ground has spread all over the basin, and various giant bugs connected to the earth have also appeared in the basin.
Their bodies are more than ten meters to tens of meters high. Some are similar to the detection devices with many compound eyes at the beginning, and some have some blue plasma surging.
It looks disgusting, but it has its own rhythm in it. A large number of elements are transported into the bodies of these giant insects through the carpet, and are then synthesized and decomposed through various reactions to form elements and nutrients useful to the group and transported to various places.
In a true sense, biological evolution and bio-industrial production are combined! In fact, extremely complex chemical reactions are also going on in living organisms on earth, and various cells, organelles, and nutrients are also combined like a factory.
But compared with the utilization efficiency of insects, there is indeed a clear gap. But it is precisely because the evolution of living organisms has made the intake of nutrients and transportation so convenient and convenient, so everything the Zerg relies on its own abilities, and to a certain extent, it has its own characteristics compared to humans.
At least in terms of environmental adaptability, the Zerg are more than ten steps ahead of humans. An egg sheath can be inserted into a planet to quickly start targeted hatching.
On the other hand, if human beings do not rely on technology and external forces, they will quickly become cold when entering extreme conditions such as deserts.
But similarly, relying on the accumulation of knowledge and learning, relying on technology and the mastery of physical principles, humans can also make various tools that are far beyond the reach of human beings themselves.
This is the case for the various detectors falling from the sky towards the nearby area. Suddenly, on the fungus carpet in the basin, a giant bug more than ten meters high began to appear with increasingly dense electric light, and then aimed a jet at the sky.
The thick blue liquid flashing with electric light was squeezed out at an extremely high speed and instantly broke the sound barrier and sprayed out. It split into several streams and hit several detectors that fell from the sky.
Boom~boom~boom~ Fires flashed continuously in the sky, and the command center on the earth also received a reminder that the detector had been shot down.
"All our detectors were shot down."
"We have one further away."
"We had one that landed safely, but it was discovered and taken away by a bug..." Because of the incident with the detector, major aerospace departments also began to communicate with each other.
The sx company directly released the perspectives they saw from the orbit using high-definition cameras.
The image of the insect spraying out an attack and quickly destroying most of the detectors also caused a cry of exclamation.
"Isn't it? How long has it been since you landed?"
"Half a month?"
"Half a month from zero to now?"
"With this kind of interception capability, our anti-aircraft missiles are no more than that!"
"..." If you feel the expansion of these bacteria blankets through the high-definition shooting of the orbit at first, you will still feel a little nervous.
After feeling their attack now, it immediately caused an uproar. Those original 'talk' voices all disappeared.
It’s so scary! This has just landed! Even if Umbrella's mechanized and intelligent production capacity is fully activated, it can only barely reach this level at best, right?
But these things were forced out of flesh and blood? ! It's been like this for half a month. Is this going to take longer?
"Even with Umbrella's current technology, if you send a robot there, you must first explore for minerals, and then start with smelting, right? The materials must also come step by step, but these things start directly?"
"Did their 'spaceship' come with initial resources?"
"It's scary enough no matter what, it must be solved quickly!"
"..."... Just as the whole world was paying attention to the movements of Mars, and even the players in "Abyss World" came out to watch, the first few traditional spaceships to arrive were also preparing to drop bombs to complete the orbital bombing.
And they were all approved as quickly as possible, taking advantage of the fact that there were still several detectors on the ground as guidance to increase the accuracy of positioning.
The thin atmosphere of Mars has many disadvantages, but it also has advantages over bombing.
That is, it is relatively less affected by airflow!
"Depending on the situation, the bombs will also be intercepted."
"Don't drop all the first batch. Adjust the settings according to their interception height and conduct air blasts to destroy the interception system on the surface."
"Understood, Umbrella's spaceship is coming soon, let's clear the obstacles for them first, and the rest is up to them..."
"..." At the same time, in the underground cave covered with germ carpets, the brain worm looked at the screen in front of him that was constantly playing simple pixel animations, and there seemed to be a trace of disdain on the ferocious worm's face.
"Another idiot who wants to take advantage of the insect swarm. As expected, intelligence is not a necessary option in evolution." The hoarse Abyssal language came from the mouth of the hanging mummy. Just taking a look at this collection of many excellent stress-responsive genetic modifications of the insect race The brainworm has already understood the other party's goals and plans.
Hiding important members underground is one of the instinctive reactions of the Zerg, so it is the same without this icon.
But if he specially issued this kind of warning, then the attack he would face later should be interesting.
The tentacles pierce into the fungus blanket, and the brainworm seems to follow the lines on the fungus blanket and directly connect with the eyeworms outside.
The compound eye kept locking on several spacecraft in orbit, watching them drop successive objects downwards.
However, based on the capture and positioning of the three-headed Euglena, the Brain Worm quickly calculated the trajectories of these thrown objects.
"Throwing so many, only three can hit head-on, so the hit rate is not high." Then a giant sunflower that looked like flesh and blood also began to rotate and detect.
"Without magic reaction, this lazy magic environment cannot give birth to any high-magic creatures..."
"If there is a chance to capture an individual to extract genes, it should be a civilization without gods." While the nuclear bomb was still being dropped, through the physical locking of the eye bugs and the detection of magic power by the demon bugs, this Zerg brain bug had quickly made the initial judgment.
Although it was a bit unexpected that the brainworm mechanism was activated by the abyss monster, since it was born, it must solve the problem for this ethnic group.
Destroy and devour that civilization, this is the meaning and mission of its birth! The biggest option accompanying the birth of the brain worm is 'war'!
As the plasma bugs recharged, the plasma sprayed towards the three nearest fallen nuclear bombs.
The detonation conditions had been issued in advance, and the nuclear bombs that had been prepared for air explosion from the beginning also detonated almost simultaneously before entering the interception range!
. Because of the density of the Martian atmosphere, the direct lethality of air explosions may be smaller. However, the three megaton nuclear bombs still showed this group of alien bugs the ultimate weapon from the earth.
Three fireballs, equivalent to six times the amount of the original nuclear explosion in New York, completely covered the basin on the surface!
The strong light that appeared first was like the sun appearing out of thin air, instantly drying out all the giant functional Zerg on the surface!
The fungus blanket also burst into flames out of thin air! After the strong light and radiation first washed the ground, the subsequent fireball swallowed up everything on the ground. The terrifying impact made the ground tremble, and the powerful wind swept the dust on the surface and rolled it away in an instant!
Although the thin atmosphere weakens the shock wave, the scope of the shock wave is actually wider.
After the fireball, Mugu Yun also rose into the sky...
"Ah!" Because it is connected to the outside through the carpet, it is also connected to the functional Zerg, which is extremely sensitive to optics and can sense electromagnetic waves of multiple wavelengths in the full frequency range.
The strong light stimulation that came along caused the eyeworm to be destroyed on the spot. It also burned many of the brainworm's nerves along the connection with the carpet, causing violent shaking.
What's this? Three such little things caused such a horrific explosion? ! Feeling the vibration in the cave, the brainworm finally realized how accurate the reminder animation was.
This power is comparable to a forbidden curse! Only with the cooperation of the legendary mages on the floating city and the power of the wizard tower can it be possible to release legendary war magic on this scale!
But here, just leaving such a small thing can create such terrifying power? ! This already involves the transformation of matter and energy, which is the domain of gods!
This time, the Cerebral Worm really looked at its opponent... Chapter 725: Looking at the mushroom cloud rising into the sky, the Earth side was also paying close attention to it, wondering what the outcome of the attack would be.
It is a pity that the nuclear bomb itself is too powerful and the aftermath is too large, which will affect subsequent droppings. Otherwise, immediately throw in other nuclear bombs with ground-penetrating capabilities for follow-up, and the effect should be the best.
Now, in order to ensure accuracy, it is necessary to wait until the impact of the nuclear bombs dissipates before dropping all the remaining nuclear bombs.
"At this distance, the things on the opponent's surface should be able to be wiped out. If the things on the surface can withstand nuclear bombs, then we are really out of luck..."
"It must be leveled!"
"There is no harm in the smoke. I am so scared. I am so afraid that when the dust from the nuclear bomb dissipates, we will see a larger swarm of insects..."
"Umbrella's 'Asteri' is coming."
"Is it finally here? This place has already been bombed."
"The masses are completely different. 'Constellation I' is larger than the others combined."
"..." Amidst the many sounds, Umbrella's Constellation I finally spiraled into the Mars synchronous orbit and stopped over the nuclear explosion zone.
Due to the relationship between the mass and rotation of Mars, the synchronous orbit of Mars is about 20,000 kilometers from the center of the earth and about 17,000 kilometers from the ground.
Judging from some of the defensive equipment that appeared in the early stages of the bugs and the previous interception methods, it is not yet possible to launch an effective attack on this location.
So 'Xingxiu i' stopped very steadily. After arriving in orbit, multiple high-definition probes were also turned on to lock onto the nuclear explosion area below.
Wang Yi also came to Penglai's command center at this time and looked at the many parameters of 'Xingxiu I'.
"Insects are not invincible. This attack should be enough to destroy all the initial accumulation on the surface. All functional insects will be wiped out. The nutrients in the egg sheaths should also be almost consumed." Wang Yi combined some of his thoughts on the abyssal zerg. Understand and have made a preliminary judgment.
Once the group of things that are almost full of survival hits the ground, it is difficult to eradicate them. After hiding underground, Wang Yi's original goal was to curb their development to avoid relying on the egg sheaths from the beginning. nutrients and initial eggs and expand disorderly.
"All parties have sent inquiries as to whether their remaining nuclear bombs need to be coordinated with us." Lin Shiqin appeared next to Wang Yi with a smile and asked.
"Keep it for now, let them monitor the spacecraft divisions in different orbits, and cooperate with future long-term monitoring and cleaning strikes..." Wang Yi said with a sigh. If there is no way to eradicate it, the only way is to stay vigilant and prepared.
'Xingxiu I' is specially built for space interception, and so are the weapon systems.
Although due to the size and function of 'Xingxu I', it also carries a probe ready to be launched to the asteroid belt, but the main purpose this time is to catch uninvited guests from space.
It's just that Wang Yi didn't know it was a bug at first, so the main weapon he designed was for space attack.
In the vacuum environment of space, many conventional weapons have limited effectiveness. The best attack is actually gamma rays. In the vacuum environment of space, there is no need to consider the problem of ionized atmosphere. Direct high-intensity gamma rays are enough to eliminate all kinds of objections. Taking a step back, laser weapons are also quite good.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing consumes too much energy, and the converted output power is also a troublesome problem.
If the beam weapon does not reach the power, it will look a bit embarrassing. Therefore, although 'Xingxiu I' also has a high-power beam weapon launcher, it is mainly used to prevent small high-speed units from getting close to the face, and is not intended to be used as the main attack force.
The one with relatively high cost performance has to be an electromagnetic kinetic energy weapon. The main gun of Xingxiu i is a large-caliber electromagnetic gun!
As 'Xingxu I' adjusted its direction in the orbit, the position of the front muzzle gradually faced the Martian land.
During the beautiful Star Wars period, the "God's Stick" project was proposed, which used tungsten rods to be directly projected into space, purely relying on kinetic energy to cause damage.
However, this plan was eventually falsified by a large country in the East. After trying it once in the Gobi, it was found that its power was average and not as good as conventional ballistic missiles.
but! That was a free fall movement, and the Earth's atmosphere is still hundreds of times denser than Mars, so strong air resistance itself is also a problem.
But now in the synchronous orbit above Mars, which is 17,000 kilometers away from the surface, as the muzzle of 'Xingxu I' is adjusted.
It has also begun to reveal the initial prowess of modern space-based weapons! As Umbrella played the external camera footage of 'Xingxiu I', the majestic main gun muzzle in front was revealed.
Many people who have been watching on the earth can't help but raise 'question marks'.
"what is this?"
"Space-based weapons?"
"Ah this..."
"The initial development of this thing was probably not for killing insects, right?"
"Who are you hitting?"
"The beauty is shivering."
"..." As netizens discussed, many people in Da Meili and the organization felt cold sweat on their foreheads.
Damn it! I was staring at your mecha at first, but in the end, what did you take out without saying a word?
That muzzle looks very rude! But while they were cursing in their hearts, many beautiful and beautiful senior executives were inexplicably relieved in their hearts.
Umbrella is surprisingly reliable when acting as an ally... As the main gun was charging, everyone gradually discovered that the image of the main gun had something similar to it.
Especially when the arc started to flash, it seemed like I had seen it somewhere!
"Do you think this thing is similar to a mass projector?"
"Surprise! A space-based version of the mass projector?"
"To move from the earth to space, you need to overcome gravity and strong air resistance. But now if you bomb Mars in the reverse direction, gravity will become a boost, and the air resistance will be much smaller..."
"..." Before more people could react, the main gun of 'Xingxiu I' also roared. boom!
Even the size of 'Xingxiu I' has obviously moved back a lot. A stream of light instantly penetrated the atmosphere of Mars, tearing apart the mushroom cloud produced by the previous nuclear explosion, and directly erased the cloud like an eraser. The dark mushroom cloud was completely wiped out and penetrated!
Boom~ The entire basin where the Zerg is located has once again stirred up a burst of dust, and it seems that the dull vibration of the earth can be felt in space.
However, the next moment, the central area broke out of the ground again, setting off a fierce fireball, like the scorching sun shining on the heaven and earth, destroying everything in front of it!
This directly made everyone's eyes widen. Damn it! Did you launch an electromagnetic bomb or a nuclear bomb? !
Control the amount of fissile material so that it does not reach the threshold during electromagnetic acceleration and directly detonate to form fusion when the impact is completed.
Umbrella's spaceship, with this main gun, has truly achieved equality among all living beings. It does not give ground targets any time to react, and its accuracy is off the charts!
As the main gun charged up, before the first fireball had completely dissipated, the second shot had blasted through the fireball and hit the target area again!
"Beauty would like to thank Umbrella for not killing her."
"Zerg: Then I shouldn't need to thank you, right?"
"It has to be Umbrella..."
"Yeah, full of security and reliability."
"Should we kill them this time? There should be no use even if the insects burrow into the ground..."
"Not necessarily, it depends on how deep they drilled..." After firing ten consecutive main cannons, the Xingxu I spacecraft also stopped shooting, and just suspended above the synchronous orbit of Mars.
At the same time, Umbrella also issued an official statement
"When the aftermath of the nuclear explosion disappears, we will send a landing module to send a group of robots down for exploration. The 'Xingxu I' will stay in the orbit of Mars for the time being. At that time, other spacecrafts please go to different orbits to monitor whether there are other areas. Insects are coming out..." Although he hasn't investigated yet, Wang Yi actually knows that it is unlikely that the group of things with full survival points will be eradicated at once. From now on, they should mainly develop underground.
When the opportunity is right, Mars will still go there. If it is a decapitation operation, he should be stronger... Chapter 726: Risk Controllable The dust and smoke of the nuclear explosion are still rolling in the air, and the two landing capsules are already With flames, it began to rush towards the basin below.
The landing module was surrounded by darkness and thick smoke. The external temperature displayed was still hundreds of degrees high, but the row of robots inside showed no hesitation or nervousness.
Just sit quietly with various weapons. From time to time, there would be some shaking due to the vibration of the landing module.
Swish~ The landing module broke through the black smoke of the nuclear explosion and appeared above the basin. Although it had left the thickest smoke area, it still looked very dark below. The mushroom clouds overhead blocked most of the sunlight, causing the landing module to actively turn on the searchlight.
Occasionally, some fireballs would fall from the black mushroom clouds in the sky, making the scene look like the end of the world.
The tragic situation in the basin below, which was exposed to continuous nuclear explosions, also appeared in the camera. The fungus carpet and those giant functional insects on the original surface were all wiped out, leaving not even a trace of residue.
There are only nuclear explosion craters and red glowing lava in the craters. The huge crater that was penetrated by the main cannon of 'Xingxiu I' and detonated in the middle is right in front of you, showing the majesty of mankind's most powerful weapon.
Puff~ Puff~ With the flames spraying from the bottom of the landing craft, the two landing crafts have slowly docked on the ground, and then twelve robots and twenty-four mechanical dogs walked out of each ship.
Without drones, the atmosphere of Mars does not have the conditions for drones to move easily, at least not the aerodynamic ones, and the jet ones cannot stay in the air for a long time.
But even so, each of the forty-eight mechanical dogs began to shake continuously after landing. Some small 'flea' robots fell from the mechanical dogs and began to move around with extremely dexterity and speed.
After discovering several holes dug by the Zerg, they quickly poured into them to conduct preliminary detection and signal relay base stations.
And these pictures were transmitted back to the earth along with the signal and displayed in front of everyone.
"This is the power of nuclear bombs..."
"Is New York going to eat this thing?"
"With the obstruction of reinforced concrete buildings, the direct damage caused by nuclear explosions is limited, and the yield is not that large."
"Umbrella's technology is really nothing to say. Look at the guns equipped on those robots. They are all electromagnetic guns."
"It's also on the mechanical dog. The muzzle of the gun also has two types: Gatling machine gun and the one that swept across the Gallic Foreign Legion."
"Those small robots that landed on the mechanical dogs are for detection, right?"
"Sure enough, when Umbrella sold the civilian version, they no longer knew which version they were using..."
"There is also a turret on the landing module, which has begun to transform and set up."
"They should also be responsible for signal transmission. They have memorized a lot of things..."
"..." As various voices appeared one after another, Umbrella also made a serious information disclosure.
"I'm sorry to tell you that our main artillery bombardment has failed. Judging from several channels, these bugs have dug very deep into the ground. Although their surface units have been eliminated, the initial resources of the egg sheaths should also have been destroyed. It's all gone, but the eradication is not complete." As he said that, some pictures appeared in Umbrella's public video, which were all taken after the 'Flea' robot entered the hole.
When the several discovered passages were first entered, all the carpets were burned, and there was a dry feeling around the passages.
But as we went deeper, we could see the blanket of bacteria again! The dark purple carpet looked sticky, moist, and disgusting, and the detection light didn't reflect much when it shone on it.
This clearly shows that the insects are continuing to penetrate deeper and there are still many surviving.
"That kind of carpet is corrosive and contains neural and electrical signal transmission. It should also serve as a 'detection' network for the Zerg. Once you step on it, you will probably be discovered by them." Several flea robots appeared in the picture. The scene of the bacteria carpet being stuck to the viscous bacterial liquid. Although it is made of corrosion-resistant magic metal, the slight corrosion on the surface can already be seen, and some mycelium is also stretching out from the bacteria carpet and starting to move towards the bacteria blanket. The trapped flea robot stalks away.
This disgusting scene makes many people feel sick to their stomachs. I didn’t expect that just the carpet left by the bugs could have such a function!
No wonder the tone is so heavy. I am afraid that the mechanical team sent by Umbrella this time will not have the effect of extermination at all. At most, it can only investigate and understand.
"There are electrical signals transmitted in the carpet. Since it is judged that it has detection and communication functions, electric shock should be effective in preventing it." After the voice said, the flea robots trapped in the mucus began to release themselves outwards. All the energy it carries.
Strong blue light flashed, and arcs of electricity could clearly be seen crossing the carpet, and roars could be vaguely heard from inside the cave.
The nearby fungi seemed to have lost their activity, and the movement of hyphae began to stop. After a few more flea robots stepped on it, there were no further attacks.
"The signal in the cave is not good. We rely on the parallel connection of mechanical signals to complete network coverage with each flea robot as a base station, which allows the robot to conduct a slightly deeper exploration. However, it can be seen from the carpet of these bugs that they have They have become quite proficient in the use of electrical signals. It is possible to directly capture airborne radios and detect the weaknesses of these robots, so as to carry out interception attacks. However, the instructions of the robots have been issued in advance, and after cutting off the signal, they can also rely on the built-in chip to carry out autonomous operations. Certain predictions..." Umbrella's official announcement explained some problems that may be encountered. When the two landing pods outside completed their transformation, more 'flea' robots began to pour into the hole to act as signals. behind the base station.
A total of twenty-four weapon-carrying robots and forty-eight mechanical dogs outside began to be divided into four teams. One team stayed in place to guard the landing module, and the other three teams divided into three groups and headed towards the three passages. Went deeper.
"It's not that we want to divide our forces, but the environment in these passages is all crowded together, which will restrict our performance. In this case, it is better to divide our forces. The expectations for this purpose cannot be too high. It focuses on detection and understanding. If we can destroy it, Destroy as much as possible, each team also carries a portable thermonuclear bomb, go as deep as possible before detonating it." Although Umbrella's words seemed a bit understated, they could make everyone feel a sense of pressure. .
Seeing that each team had a robot carrying a silver metal box, they also understood what was in the metal box... Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tat~ The sound of mechanical footsteps sounded on the screen, and at this time Umbrella's screen also melted. Four sub-screens were made.
One is outside near the landing module, and the other three are the in-depth exploration team. I thought that this place had just been bombed by a nuclear bomb. Even if there were still remaining bugs, they would hide first and not appear so soon.
But it took less than half an hour when the three teams entered the passage to explore. Several other passages near the landing module began to vibrate.
As the first soldier bug, which was four to five meters in size and had huge pincer-like mouthparts, appeared, the subsequent soldier bugs swarmed out and rushed towards the landing cabin!
Many bugs still have burn marks on their surfaces, which may be the residual damage from the aftermath of the previous nuclear bomb, but they seem to be completely unaware of pain, fatigue, and fear of death.
They came swarming under the sweeping firepower! Da da da~ The electromagnetic Gatling sprayed out continuous sparks. Under the embellishment of tracer bullets, a dense cross-fire network was directly formed to cover all the emerging bugs.
The soldier insect that had just jumped out and screamed had not even closed its mouthparts, but the hard horny shell was torn apart by several bullets in an instant. Fragments and flesh flew everywhere, the mouthparts were completely broken, and it collapsed on the ground and turned into a puddle. .
Green juice splashes and the roars of insects come and go! The sudden conflict and intensity really exceeded everyone's expectations.
Unexpectedly, the bugs that had just been bombarded by nuclear bombs could suddenly appear in so many numbers, and they were not afraid of death!
"The three teams that went deep have not been attacked. The number of bugs should be insufficient, so we want to concentrate our efforts to eliminate the defending teams outside!"
"They may really be able to capture electromagnetic waves, so they determine that the branch outside is the key node."
"The control signals of the detection team inside are also relayed through the outside, right? Once the outside falls, will the inside be doomed as well..."
"..." Regardless of people's worries, Wang Yi nodded while looking at the shooting scene.
"It's okay. It can be called cunning, but the intelligence and strategy are still relatively average." In fact, making this arrangement is a kind of temptation and temptation.
After learning that they were burrowing into the ground, Wang Yi knew that it would be impossible to completely annihilate them with this attack.
Then focus on maximizing damage, delaying their development and testing. This time, I took the initiative to arrange for three teams to go deep. Leaving one team behind was actually a way of testing.
It seems that there are not many teams left to guard, but in fact, because the landing cabin is here, the ammunition left behind is extremely abundant.
The most troublesome part of modern firepower coverage is actually logistics and ammunition. But the bug couldn't understand this and chose the 'cunning' act of stealing.
This also seems to indicate that they lack experience in modern military confrontation with humans. On the contrary, Wang Yi discovered through some of their action details and the magic detection equipment on Xingxiu i that in addition to capturing the full frequency range of electromagnetic waves, they also conducted magic detection on the magic side.
He should have rich experience in fighting against magical civilizations. Thinking about it, Wang Yi himself is very active in studying them. If a mage discovers such an excellent tool, he will definitely try his best to capture it. After fighting for a long time, he will gain experience.
However...the risk is generally controllable...————
