After getting the formula of the new material, Lin Xi and Chu Jungui held a secret discussion and finally decided to put aside the raid on the beast's nest for the time being. The guy hidden in the clouds was a brand new threat. When it attacked the reconnaissance plane, it was at a speed that Base 2 could not defend at present. At that time, even Chu Jungui didn't see clearly what method it used to shoot down the reconnaissance plane. Looking at it from a distance, it doesn't look like it's just tearing apart with teeth and claws.
For some reason, this guy never participated in the battle. Otherwise, with its speed, even the experimental body could only rely on the air defense tower array for regional air defense. The moving speed of the anti-aircraft tower's muzzle couldn't keep up with the guy's instantaneous movement.
If there were not one, but eight of ten of these guys, Base No. 2 would be destroyed. Chu Jungui didn't understand why a war beast of this level didn't appear from the beginning. At that time, they had no power to fight back.
Even if new threats were not taken into account, the living missiles alone made Chu Jungui dare not leave the base even half a step. The communication distance of the biochip is only 50 meters, and only Chu Jungui can command many air defense towers to effectively intercept missiles. The others are an order of magnitude worse than Chu Jungui.
If Chu Jungui was far away and a wave of missiles suddenly came from the beast tide, by the time he came back, the base would have been in ruins.
Therefore, before finding a new plan, Chu Jungui could only stand on the top of the main base and admire the scenery, without the fun of logging and mining.
He looked around again and saw nothing except the soldiers on duty. Lin Xi, Hathaway and Rose all had their own affairs to be busy with, and no one had time to accompany him.
Fortunately, the test subject was never lonely. He sat leaning against an air defense tower, looking out into the distance, taking in the distant scenery, and completely letting himself go.
The so-called short selling is completely different between the experimental subjects and ordinary people. Ordinary people sit in a daze, while the experimental subjects allocate all their computing power to research and development projects and can only be in a daze.
Just when Chu Jun returned to relax, the Shadow Fortress expanded another area. This square area is densely packed with missile silos. Missiles are unloaded from the cargo spacecraft and loaded into the silos. More than a dozen researchers are busy inputting terrain and target parameters for the missile.
In the command hall, William was finalizing the battle plan, while Joseph was desperately drinking coffee, with sunken eyes and dark circles. There was a bandage on his left hand, and there was a blood stain on it.
William said without looking up: "Either you go get some sleep or get a stimulant shot. Coffee won't do you any good."
"No, it's too uncomfortable after taking the stimulant. I can still be erect. After repairing the beast's nest, I will go to sleep for an hour."
"After repairing the beast's nest, you may not have time to sleep."
"Why?" Joseph's thinking was a little slow now.
"Do you know about a creature called a wasp on your home planet?"
"I've heard of it, what's wrong?"
"Our current behavior, to put it bluntly, is poking a hornet's nest."
Joseph was stunned, yawned again, and said: "There are not many wasps even. When I conducted fire reconnaissance to the beast's nest, I didn't encounter much fierce resistance."
"That's because you were beaten back halfway."
"I didn't bring many soldiers to begin with!"
William didn't intend to argue with him, but just asked: "Do you really want to watch? Don't you plan to take a rest?"
"It depends! Anyway, my mecha is broken. It will take at least 2 days to repair it."
William looked up at him, expressionless, and said, "As the first human to tear apart a giant rhinoceros, what kind of evaluation do you think you will get?"
Joseph was stunned again.
William ignored him, opened the communication channel, and said: "Prepare 10 ground-attack missiles and launch them in one minute. Prepare the second wave of 20 missiles and launch them in one minute and thirty seconds."
"As you command, General!"
In the ground attack module, the first batch of missile silo covers were opened, and the missiles slowly rose until a warhead was exposed. As the launch time came, ten missiles popped out of the launch silo, spouting faint blue fire from their tails, and quickly moved away.
30 seconds later, a second wave of 20 missiles also ejected from the silo, following the first batch of missiles.
William watched the missile group go away and continued to order: "Prepare the third batch of 30 missiles and launch them in 5 minutes."
He stood in front of the window, thoughtful, and after a moment he told the adjutant next to him: "Send a letter to the superiors, requesting the development of a batch of missiles using old-fashioned gunpowder propulsion power."
The adjutant took note and ran to the communications unit.
After she left, Joseph asked: "Why do you need this? Should such an old-fashioned thing be specially made?"
William said: "Do you think the ion engines used in missiles today are reliable?"
"Isn't it well used? It's a one-time use anyway."
"What if the beast tide has war beasts that can interfere with it?"
"This is impossible..." Joseph's expression suddenly changed and he said, "It's really possible!"
William projected a large map in the center of the room, pointed to a large gathering of light spots at the edge of the map, and said, "The first wave of missiles is almost here, let's see the results."
On the map, red light spots representing the beast's nest spread out in succession. And a small group of blue light points are approaching quickly.
This is a very old map model. The last time humans invented such a crude map was nearly 1,500 years ago. But here, only this kind of map works. The data of the Beast Nest were all detected by Cambrian through shock wave sensing, and the blue light spots represented the missile group, which was not real real-time data, but a simulated line based on ballistic calculations.
Even so, Joseph still stared at the blue light spot, for fear of missing something.
The blue light finally reached the beast's nest and then disappeared.
After a while, the red color in the center of the beast's nest suddenly became lighter.
"Successful!" Joseph pumped his fist excitedly, and William also looked happy.
The lightening of red means that the number of war beasts active in the beast's nest has suddenly decreased, and it has decreased significantly, which proves that the first wave of missile strikes is absolutely efficient.
Joseph said: "Are you still planning to get gunpowder-propelled missiles? That kind of missile can't hold so much explosive. The charge of these missiles is 2.5 tons, which is equivalent to 100 tons!"
"want."
Joseph shrugged, "No sense of humor."
But William was always like this, and Joseph had nothing to say and continued to wait for the second wave of missiles.
The second wave of missiles was only delayed by 30 seconds, and could deal a second blow to the beasts that had not yet reacted, and at the same time kill those who were injured by the first wave of attacks but survived. At the same time, they are also responsible for destroying deeper animal nests.
After a while, several blank spaces appeared in the red color of the beast's nest.
This time, even William breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I guess I killed an A-level beast wave."
Joseph whistled and said, "Don't worry, there will be a third wave. To be honest, sometimes I really think you are quite bad."
