For these bugs living in the Death Nebula, the resistance forces called them the Star Zerg.
In fact, they don't know much about this starry sky Zerg. After all, the resistance army cannot explore other parts of this nebula except for entering and exiting according to fixed routes.
The only thing that can be known is that this is a space creature that moves in groups.
Because we have never found any examples of them acting alone, at least they are in groups of thirty or fifty.
but...
This is the first time I have seen such a group of thousands.
Not to mention that, the resistance has never seen it for hundreds of years, and it is probably the celestial body that is the nest of those insects.
"Captain, the number of war bugs has exceeded 5,000. According to the scan, there are at least 5,000 more inside the bug mound!"
"Current distance is 2800, speed is 120."
On the bridge, the radar officer reported again.
This situation, indeed, as Luo Hao said just now, will be a tough battle.
Of course, just because it's a tough fight doesn't mean it can't be fought.
because...
Although the Star Zerg are huge in size and very destructive, their reactions are very slow.
It is precisely because of this that for many years, the resistance forces have been able to easily deal with dozens or even hundreds of patrol ships with only two old patrol ships.
As a real battleship and a destroyer, the Wuluo is not impossible to deal with these war insects, but what really worries Luo Hao is...
There is no information about this worm mound!
"Captain, First Officer Jiang Xingchen is requesting a call!"
"Get on the home screen!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Soon, Jiang Xingchen's figure appeared on the main screen of the bridge.
"Xingchen, are the mecha squadron ready for attack?"
"That's done Captain, but I have another important thing to report!"
"What's up?"
"Captain, I observed the movements of these starry sky bugs and found that their reaction speed is far faster than normal. If we deal with them in the past way, we may suffer big losses!"
"Huh? The staff team, immediately analyze the behavior of those bugs and determine the problem reported by the first mate!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Hearing this, the staff team on the side also immediately took action, calling up the observed scenes, extracting some individuals, and analyzing each of their actions.
"Captain, there is a result!"
"How about it?"
"According to our analysis and comparison, these war bugs are 38% faster than our previous data, and their reaction speed is 122% faster. As for other aspects, we cannot analyze them for the time being!"
After hearing this result, Luo Hao's expression became much more solemn.
The speed and response are so much faster, this is no joke.
In this case, many mature tactics that have been used for hundreds of years will become unusable.
Otherwise, it will be like what Jiang Xingchen said...
Big loss!
Fortunately, Jiang Xingchen discovered this in time, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Xingchen, if you have any ideas, just tell me!"
"Captain, according to the scan results, these bugs are the same as in the database in terms of size and other aspects, but their data in all aspects has increased so much. This is obviously a problem!"
"continue!"
Nodding, Luo Hao signaled Jiang Xingchen to continue.
"Then, we have to look for places that are different from the past, and this different place is most likely the source of this change!"
"You mean...the Worm Mound?"
After all, Luo Hao was experienced and understood immediately after being slightly reminded by Jiang Xingchen.
"Yes, so I suggest..."
"The insect mound should be listed as the first target of attack and destroyed as soon as possible!"
Luo Hao did not respond immediately, but was thinking about Jiang Xingchen's suggestion.
But soon, he shook his head.
"It doesn't work!"
"Whether it is the plasma cannon or the railgun on the Wura, it is difficult to effectively destroy a celestial body with a diameter of 380 meters!"
"Unless a cold fusion missile is used to follow the hole in the insect mound and accurately shoot into its lair, it will face an interception network composed of thousands or even tens of thousands of war insects. If the missile wants to pass through, the success rate is almost less than 1
%.”
With a 1% success rate, there are only twelve cold fusion missiles on the entire Wuluo. Even if they are all launched, it will be difficult to succeed.
This is why Luo Hao said it wouldn't work.
but...
"Captain, you have forgotten that in addition to the twelve cold fusion missiles on the battleship, the mecha squadron is also equipped with a small cold fusion missile, and according to the previous order, it has now been equipped!"
Hearing this, Luo Hao was stunned.
Then he remembered that when Jiang Xingchen was still on the bridge just now, he suggested that the mecha squadron be equipped with the small cold fusion missile while preparing for attack.
"etc!"
"Are you planning to rely on forty-eight Raider mechas to kill the insect swarm and eventually launch missiles into the insect mound?"
Suddenly remembering something, Luo Hao's eyes suddenly widened.
"Captain, as long as the Wuluo provides me with cover, I am confident that I can do this!"
"How sure are you?"
"Ninety percent!"
Ninety percent...
Are there really so many?
"Captain, trust me, I will not commit suicide!"
"Okay, I'll go crazy with you. The staff team will immediately re-plan the firepower plan according to the first officer's plan!"
"No need, Captain, I have completed the planning and am sending it!"
"Have you planned it yet?"
"Captain, have you forgotten that I once said that when the Wuluo was commissioned, as long as I cannot be the best in any position on the ship, I will take the initiative to resign as the first mate!"
"You kid..."
Hearing what Jiang Xingchen said, Luo Hao was also speechless.
Although he told Jiang Xingchen at the time that there was no such thing as joking in the military, in fact, he had never taken the initiative to mention this matter since the Wuluo was commissioned, but he did not expect that this boy would still remember it.
"Report, received the fire plan from the first mate!"
“Confirm feasibility immediately!”
"Yes, Captain!"
Soon, several staff officers became busy, repeatedly confirming the plan sent by Jiang Xingchen.
"Report, confirmed!"
"How about it?"
"This...the plan planned by the first mate is better...much better than ours!"
hiss...
Did this kid really achieve what he boasted about half a year ago?
No, no, if it is done, it will not be called Haikou...
Luo Hao was also shocked when he heard the confirmation from the staff group.
"In this case, proceed according to the chief officer's plan. The staff team will immediately break down the combat plan and distribute it to each department. The battle will officially begin in three minutes!"
"Yes, Captain!"
------
At the same time, in the hangar of the Wuluo.
"Attention everyone, I am Commander Jiang Xingchen!"
"In three minutes, you will face your first actual battle after hell training!"
"We will kill a swarm of thousands of war bugs and send a lot of money to their lair!"
"Finally...boom!"
"Isn't it exciting?"
Through the squadron channel, Jiang Xingchen's voice was transmitted into the cockpit of each Raider mecha.
Stimulate...
Of course exciting!
In the past two months, they had been tortured crazy by Jiang Xingchen. They had been pent up and wanted to find a place to vent their anger.
"Commander, don't talk about me, I can't wait to go to the battlefield!"
"Isn't it just a few thousand bugs? So what if there are more of them?"
"That's right, let's just talk to the captain and stop doing such unskilled things as killing the insect swarm. Let's just wipe out all those insects!"
...
Listening to the constant sounds coming from the squadron channel, Jiang Xingchen's mouth twitched.
Have you trained these guys too harshly in the past two months?
Why do they all look like explosives?
"Shut up, everyone!"
"Everything is going according to the battle plan. If anyone messes up in a while, get out of the Wuluo!"
