492 Mechanical planet = raw stone? Cutting begins!
"No, it's too dangerous, I object!"
In the virtual combat conference room, Duan Xingke, the commander of the First Army, slapped the table hard and then said.
At the same time, his eyes were fiercely waiting for Lu Feng, the commander of the Second Legion not far away.
After destroying all the Annihilators, Jiang Xingchen summoned all the army commanders.
Discuss how to deal with the Predator motherships and Slayer battleships that are unable to resist and cannot escape.
Then, Lu Feng made a suggestion.
captive!
That's right, Lu Feng was talking about prisoners.
After all, many technologies of mechanical civilization are of great reference significance to the Federation.
For example, the technology of building a virtual world, allowing other civilizations to live in it, and then continuously extracting energy from the bodies of these civilized individuals.
For another example, the weapon technology used by Annihilator is obviously an energy weapon, but it is also very lethal to space shields.
Another example is the sublight propulsion technology of mechanical civilization, etc.
These are technologies that the Federation does not have or are more advanced than the Federation.
Once the Federation obtains the mastermind of a certain mechanical planet, it is very likely to obtain these technologies.
Therefore, Lu Fengcai proposed that the Sky Mecha Legion and the Motorized Infantry Legion enter the interior of the mechanical planet to find and capture its mastermind.
However, this suggestion was strongly opposed by Duan Xingke.
Let’s not talk about whether there are a large number of defense systems inside, but if so many Sky Dome mechas and mobile infantry enter, just in case someone directly self-destructs.
None of the federal soldiers who rushed into it would survive.
The risk is too great and not worth it!
For a while, neither of them could convince the other.
Immediately, everyone looked at Jiang Xingchen.
After all, what both Lu Feng and Duan Xingke said made sense, and it was difficult to tell who was right and who was wrong.
You said Lu Feng was wrong...
A large number of technologies from mechanical civilization are indeed of great help to the Federation.
Moreover, if the mastermind of a mechanical planet can be captured, in addition to technology, it will also allow the federation to obtain a large amount of intelligence.
For example, how many troops does the mechanical civilization have and where are they distributed?
Another example is, how many troops have hyperspace engines, etc.!
Once this information is obtained, the subsequent battle will undoubtedly be much cheaper and a lot of casualties can be reduced.
But at the same time, you said Duan Xing was carved wrongly.
There is nothing wrong with what others say.
Once inside the mechanical planet, it is no longer like interstellar fleet combat. You can rely on range advantages and various technical advantages to directly overwhelm the opponent.
It's a real close-quarters hand-to-hand combat!
In addition, neither the sky mecha nor the mobile infantry have strong enough defensive capabilities.
The most important thing is, if you send a large number of troops into the mechanical planet and someone self-destructs, what will you do?
No one here would think that mechanical civilization would not dare to self-destruct because of fear of death.
To sum it up...
The mastermind in the mechanical planet is indeed very tempting to the Federation, but at the same time, the risk of finally obtaining this mastermind is also very high, and it can even be said to be...
The probability of success is extremely low.
So, should you take this risk?
Everyone, Jiang Xingchen sighed slightly.
"Everyone, when humans were on their home planet, there was a sport called stone gambling. Have you heard of it?"
"Gambling stone... I have an impression that it seems to be a kind of jadeite rough stone from the home planet era. It looks like an ordinary stone on the outside, but there is a certain probability that after cutting it, jadeite will be found inside.
The value of this jade is quite high."
"Yes, in the home star era, after people bought the rough stones they liked, they would cut them into pieces."
Jiang Xingchen nodded and said.
"After the first cut, you may not be able to see the jade, and then you will cut the second and third cuts from different positions and angles."
"Until one cut turns green, or the original owner gives up."
"Then, we might as well do the same and cut these mechanical planets into raw jade stones from the home planet era?"
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Even people who didn't know about stone gambling in the home star era had some understanding under the simple explanations given by others around them.
but...
Is it possible to operate the mechanical planet like a gambling stone?
"Commander, I understand what you mean. It is to use the space cutting attack to directly cut the mechanical planet. But what if it all explodes?"
On the side, Duan Xingke pondered for a moment and then asked.
"That's simple. Aren't there five mechanical planets, and four opportunities for trial and error?"
"Even if all five mechanical planets are cut down, it doesn't matter. Every time the sword is struck, it is an experience."
"Anyway, mechanical civilization is definitely far more than these five mechanical planets. There will be many opportunities in the future, right?"
Good guy, can you still play like this?
That's right, these five mechanical planets have all been cut into pieces.
Let's learn from the good experience and capture other mechanical planets in the future, avoid those positions that cannot be cut, and then continue.
One day, it will be possible to find the location of its main brain in this way, and finally take it out through cutting.
No matter how bad it is, you can still use this method to understand whether there are defense forces, systems, or other things inside, right?
Soon, all the army commanders agreed to this plan.
------
Six legions and nearly 180,000 warships are currently approaching one of the mechanical planets.
Without the ship-borne Annihilators, and without the armed Predator Mothership, or the Slayer Battleship, we can only stare blankly at this.
But as the pioneering fleet got closer and closer, it was obvious that the mechanical civilization still wanted to do something.
Immediately, the thousand Slayer warships outside this mechanical planet finally took action.
Like Annihilator, speed up, speed up, speed up!
In short, it just keeps accelerating!
Although it has no weapons, with such a large mass, it can still launch attacks by impact.
Even if a direct impact is not possible, it is obviously a good choice to rush into the pioneering fleet array and self-destruct.
However, with such a big body and no flexibility like the Annihilator, even if it is fast enough, what's the use?
Just a wave of attacks.
An entire thousand Slaughterers had been dismantled into eight pieces.
Some of them were hit in key locations, and were directly blown up in the air, turning into a fireball.
Soon after...
The mechanical planet has been given over by six legions...
Hug in the middle.
The next moment, dozens of space cuts were released from the battle star Kaitian.
The extremely precise attack caused these kilometer-level space cuts to form a long line one after another.
At one third of the mechanical planet, it was cut into two pieces, one large and one small, just like cutting tofu!
"Commander, the first cutting is completed. Although there were some explosions inside, there were no fatal explosions."
"Record it, then scan the cross section. After obtaining all the data, determine the best position for the next cut."
"clear!"
Nodding, Science Officer Ouyang Qing immediately started operating.
First, scan the cross-section thoroughly to understand the results of the mechanical planet on this cross-section, or whether there are any lethal devices, etc.
After half an hour.
Only then did we finally complete the data collection after the first cutting and infer several safe locations for the next cutting.
"Execute according to position three, start the second cutting!"
After getting several suggested cutting locations provided by Ouyang Qing.
Jiang Xingchen randomly selected one of them and ordered.
