In the command room of the forward fortress, all departments were on alert, especially the air defense department, which was reporting equipment status data.
"Once locked, fire."
"Don't think about anything else. Destroy as many as you can before they enter the atmosphere."
Will, standing on the command podium, was giving orders.
Unfortunately, as soon as the order was issued, the execution staff hesitated.
"These off-orbit asteroids are much larger than those previously encountered..."
"Destroy the smallest one first."
At this time, Lu Li suddenly appeared and took over the command, "Carry out defense according to this principle and destroy as many meteorites as possible."
"yes."
"Command to turn on the turbolaser cannon, power output is 85%."
"Opening, A1 port has been opened."
"Port A2 is opened."
"Port A3 is opened."
"Power is loading."
With a continuous roar, the entire military base began to shake violently, affecting the cups and saucers on the table, and all the coffee and drinks spilled out.
At this time, General Otto, who was imprisoned, was suddenly startled and sat up suddenly. Apart from the turbolaser cannon being turned on, he could not imagine any other weapon in the base that could make such a big noise.
"In the end what happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the general suddenly thought of the reason. He turned pale with fright, got up in a hurry, and kept banging on the iron door, "The Zerg is attacking! Let me out quickly!"
The last few times the Zerg launched tests, the base only used two turbolaser cannons, and they were not at their maximum power.
Now with this movement... all three laser cannons must have been used.
General attack?
Otto felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. He kept banging on the iron door. Staying in this hellish place, if he met the Zerg that broke in, there would be only one outcome.
Unfortunately, the soldiers guarding the area had already rushed to other areas, looking for large troops and asking for news, and had no time to pay attention to the old leader.
Bang...bang...bang...
The tapping went from rapid to slow to dead.
"The number of meteorites has been confirmed, a total of thirteen."
"Five were successfully destroyed, and three more were fragmented and are expected to burn up in the atmosphere."
"The turbolaser has entered the cooling stage and needs to replace the barrel." The technician in charge of the attack unit quickly reported the situation.
Will was infected by the tense atmosphere permeating the command room and subconsciously asked: "When will the next round of attack be launched."
"At least eight hours." The technician shook his head, his voice trembling slightly: "After precise calculations, the remaining five meteorites will break through the atmosphere in twenty minutes."
"Where's the crash site?"
Among the group of panic-looking people, Lu Li stood out, even if he was not the chief officer of the fortress.
It's so peaceful that it doesn't matter if the sky falls, as if it's not afraid of death.
"One goes straight to the sentinel satellite, and the remaining four are all within a thousand miles of the base." The technician tapped on the light screen a few times.
Soon, a specially processed picture appeared in front of everyone.
It is the terrain distribution map around the military base, with four green highlights on it.
"How big can they be after breaking through the atmosphere?" Lu Li remained calm.
"After burning, they are all about the same size, between 40 and 50 meters in length, and have an estimated speed of 4,000 kilometers per hour."
The technician was born in Roche Biotechnology. He is reliable and thoughtful. He introduced it in detail:
"It is expected that four impact craters 1.6 kilometers wide and 220 meters deep will be formed, and the base at the center of the impact point will crack instantly."
Since there is an impact, it will definitely cause a shock wave and then trigger an earthquake.
When the time comes, no matter how strong the military base is, it will crack, and the fate of everyone in this iron coffin will be obvious.
"At least half of the combatants will be shocked to death, and the others will either be comatose or disabled. Only a few lucky ones will be able to stay awake, but those high-precision weapons will suffer varying degrees of damage."
After saying these words, the technician fell into silence and looked at Lu Li quietly, waiting for him to give the final order.
"Assemble the team and board the ship."
Since we can't stay on the ground, we'll go to the air. As for the problems caused by overloading, we can no longer take care of it. It's not going to deep space anyway, so there won't be any big trouble.
"yes."
At this time, no one stood up to question Lu Li's decision. Everyone started packing their things, organizing documents, and evacuated the command room in batches.
The same was true for the soldiers who had gathered in an emergency. They rushed towards the transport ship crazily, and nearly a thousand people were squeezed into the 500-person capacity.
About fifteen minutes later, the fleet rose, and all combatants and non-combatants evacuated the military base, including General Otto.
In the end, Lu Li still did not forget this guy. After all, after successfully seizing power, it would be evil to trick others to death again.
[The meteorite is expected to hit the general in three minutes]
In the command room of the main battleship, massive amounts of data emerged out of thin air.
"Where is the support fleet?"
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked up at the sky through the porthole window.
"It will take ten days at the earliest to arrive." Will shook his head and answered truthfully.
As the heir of the family, its importance is self-evident. However, it is useless to worry about the reinforcements. The spacecraft has entered full flight mode and cannot go any faster.
"As long as it doesn't enter the universe, the spacecraft can remain suspended." Lu Li frowned slightly, seeming to be talking to himself, "But how to provide food for six to seven thousand people? You can't even eat energy bars to survive."
There is equipment for synthesizing food in the base, but unfortunately it is too large and time is short. Everyone has no time to take care of themselves, so how can they take it away.
"Let's wait until the meteorite hits the ground first."
Luo Yi still wore his sunglasses and stood next to Lu Li, waiting for the meteorite to land.
Since landing on this planet, things have been developing in the worst direction, completely different from expectations.
Luo Che Biology was not the only one who had this idea. Professor Taylor and his team were also at a loss.
The original plan was to send a task force to explore deep into the Zerg territory, but it turned out to be a passive defense.
"coming."
In the crowded cabin, someone suddenly made a sound.
Only four bright spots appeared in the dark night sky, and they were falling at an extremely fast speed.
"Commander in chief." A technician came in. Since he couldn't get close to Lu Li, he shouted from a distance, "The satellite is out of contact."
"knew."
After Lu Li replied, he didn't say anything more.
On the paths of these four large fireballs, flashes of light would fly out from time to time. These small bright spots also dragged long tail flames across the night sky.
No technicians need to explain, but we also know that these Mars are fragments that were stripped off when meteorites passed through the atmosphere.
If there is no protection from the atmosphere and these four meteorites are allowed to fall, the entire planet may collapse.
After all, a meteorite ten kilometers wide can create a sinkhole with a radius of nearly a thousand kilometers, and trigger a series of disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, which are beyond human power.
Let alone four.
The firelight reflected Lu Li's face in a mixture of light and dark. He ordered: "Order the fleet to climb up until it reaches a safe height."
The correspondent immediately turned on the instrument and relayed the message.
If the diameter of the meteorite exceeds five kilometers, the shock wave caused is likely to lift materials near the impact site into outer space. Although a meteorite with a diameter of 50 meters cannot make such a big movement, it can still lift a large amount of impurities high into the sky. Must be circumvented.
"There's no volcano nearby, right?"
Looking at the increasingly brighter fire, some people couldn't help but ask.
"Neither extinct nor active volcanoes exist. We have to thank our ancestors. Every military base they built avoided these danger zones."
"But it still fell. There will no longer be so-called frontline outposts."
These words came from General Otto. He no longer hated Lu Li for seizing power. He just wanted to get through the current situation safely and return to the rear alive.
Based on this, Otto kindly reminded: "The original meteorite full of Zerg spores caused the death of nearly a thousand elites. If the airships were not mobilized in time to suppress it, the casualty figures would be even higher."
"There are four in total this time. You'd better be cautious and cover them with a few rounds of firepower before sending combatants down to harvest them."
Seeing that the general was speaking extremely seriously, Will did not interrupt him. Even now, he still has full confidence in Mr. Lu and can make correct decisions without being taught by others.
"If the Zerg don't have air defense capabilities, I will do this." Lu Li said something meaningful.
【warrior】
【Jumper】
Both are basic Zerg warriors, and the Zerg are actually divided into many classes.
If I remember correctly, they come from a civilization called Arachnis. There is a huge plasma bug in it. Their tails can shoot ion lightning-like balls, which can penetrate spacecraft in orbit and change the flight of meteorites. trajectory.
The Arachnis Zerg had been testing for so long and finally launched an attack. The probability of sending only basic warriors could be said to be very slim.
In the next war, plasma bugs and tank bugs are likely to appear. The former is responsible for seizing air supremacy, and the latter is an infantry killer.
Just as he was thinking about it, the spacecraft under Lu Li's feet began to shake slightly.
Four meteorites with a diameter of nearly fifty meters fell to the ground, and the heat energy generated by the friction with the atmosphere and the energy released by the impact on the ground all exploded.
Four walls of fire that were at least three kilometers high and with temperatures exceeding a thousand degrees Celsius rose up and instantly swept away everything within a hundred miles of the pit.
"Thanks to the desertification of the land, there is no vegetation for thousands of miles around the base." Otto said happily: "Otherwise, once they are not transferred to the air, everyone in the underground bunker will be dried out by the high temperature."
"Thousands and tens of millions later, perhaps humans from other civilizations will be able to dig up our fossils when they come here to conduct scientific research."
Hearing this, Lu Li glanced at this guy and ignored him.
Pessimist?
Broken jar?
It would actually be okay if he complained a few words in private, but the place where this guy spoke was the fleet command cabin, where all the officers and technical officials were.
"Just kidding, to lighten the mood."
Under Lu Li's scrutinizing eyes and Will's threatening eyes, Otto coughed a few times. He realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately shut up after explaining a few words, for fear of being locked up in the dark room again.
"The war half a year ago showed that high temperatures cannot kill the Zerg eggs on the meteorite."
Compared to spores, Lu Li felt that insect eggs were more scientific.
In addition, this is not the time to worry about titles, just make sure everyone understands.
"Last time, it was a sudden attack that caused catastrophic losses. Now, we are fully prepared and have gained control of the air early."
As a leader, Lu Li always has to say something to boost morale, no matter what the real situation is.
I don't always have to say, the Zerg is coming fiercely, we will lose this battle, it is better to wait for death.
"Yes, all kinds of spacecraft we brought are equipped with attack units, especially the main battleship, which can launch various tactical missiles and cover twice the firepower within a thousand miles."
Will took over the conversation, cooperated with Lu Li's encouragement, and analyzed: "Coupled with the few small attack ships originally in the base, we can completely suppress the Zerg."
"It takes a certain amount of time for the eggs to hatch. Let the fleet disperse and carry out fire strikes on the four craters."
Lu Li made a preliminary battle plan.
Not long after, those experienced officers immediately made detailed arrangements around it to ensure reasonable distribution of firepower.
"How's the situation with the mecha?"
Seeing that everyone's mood had stabilized, Lu Li took Luo Yi to a quiet corner.
Standing next to them were Will and others. The only absentee was Miss Celine. This girl had fallen into a deep sleep and successfully avoided the war.
"One hundred of them, all intact and ready for battle."
The third-generation heavy-duty mecha, a cutting-edge individual weapon newly developed by Roche Biology, has excellent performance and powerful firepower. To be honest, the mecha Lu Li carried with him could not compare with them.
However, without the first-generation mecha as a model to provide inspiration and ideas for the research and development organization, let alone the third generation, the first generation would not be able to be built.
After all, going from zero to one requires disruptive innovation from scratch, which cannot be achieved through hard work alone.
"After the fire strike is completed later, you put on the mecha and join me."
If it had been anyone else, hearing this, even if they didn't say it, they would have muttered in their hearts, "After the firepower covers it, is it possible for the Zerg to survive?"
However, Will and others blindly worshiped Lu Li, never asking why, and would only carry out their tasks without compromise.
decisive battle?
The place of ending.
Different from the calm expression on his face, one thought after another appeared in Lu Li's mind.
Compared with the universe, the individual is indeed too small. After only one year in this world, he feels weak.
"However, the words of the Arachnis Clan alone cannot bring me down in an away game."
"Will there be any new surprises?"
Lu Li suppressed his complicated mood and checked the crater through the monitoring equipment of the spacecraft.
Below, thick smoke filled the air.
In the scorched earth, individual insect eggs began to crack, and small lives of different shapes crawled out. They were intelligent, had no selfishness, no fear, and had super reproductive capabilities.
At the same time, it has a complete social system of species and can quickly establish civilization.
