Rather than blowing up the worm mound, it was better to say that it was bursting from the inside.
This is currently the only way humans can destroy the insect mound, except for the positron star-breaking cannon on the Hou Yi.
Of course, although the Hou Yi's main gun can destroy worm mounds, it is only limited to worm mounds below 500 meters...
And as these five 800-meter-level insect mounds were killed, more than 70% of the tail scorpions on the battlefield fell into a sluggish state, moving slowly and reacting slowly.
However, this phenomenon did not last long. After about ten seconds, most of them had recovered.
Jiang Xingchen knew very well that the command authority of these tail scorpions had now been taken over by the mother worm in the kilometer-level worm mound...
It was taken over.
As for why not all the tail scorpions have recovered, according to Jiang Xingchen's guess, it should be because the number that the female scorpions can control is limited.
If it exceeds the allowable range of its mental power, it will become impossible to control it.
The next question is how to find this invisible insect mound.
"Captain, we have escaped from the worm mound!"
"Wang Feng, deploy the Storm missiles as planned."
"Understood, the second missile launch module, launch ports 1 to 32, start launching in sequence!"
The next moment, storm missiles one after another were fired from the Houyi and flew towards different locations.
If you want to find out the exact location of this guy, there are currently two ways.
One is to form a network by deploying a large number of recommended communication modules as done in the seventh node, and then let these communication modules send signals once every second, and then as long as the information from those communication modules is not received, then other
The central location is where our insect grave is located.
The other method is to grasp the approximate location of the insect mound, and then rely on barrage firepower to continuously fire to track it.
After all, you are just invisible, not disappearing.
You can't see it, but you can hit it!
Finally, as long as you look at which attacks are blocked and where they are blocked, there is no doubt that this location is where the Worm Tomb is located.
At this moment, the first method is not feasible, because in order to deploy such a network at the seventh node, the resistance army even mobilized the entire Canglan Star, and it took several months to do it.
In the past six months, in order to have more combat power in the decisive battle, the Canglan Department has been rushing to build a few warships, and there is no time to conduct a comprehensive manufacturing and deployment.
Therefore, if you want to determine its location now, you can only use the second method, provided that...
You must first determine the approximate location of the insect mound.
Even Jiang Xingchen couldn't do this.
Therefore, he did not plan to do such an almost impossible thing, but planned to use a more brutal method.
What is the Storm Missile?
It was a missile that had been tested in the Tolan star system during the Hou Yi's maiden voyage. It was still in the experimental stage at that time, and was codenamed Death Storm.
It does not have any too advanced technology, it can even be said that it only uses very primitive technology, specifically used to restrain the insect sea of the starry sky Zerg.
But now, Jiang Xingchen thought of a brand new way of using it.
Use it as a radar!
As for how to use it as a radar, it's actually very simple.
There are hundreds of thousands of projectiles inside the Storm missile. After it is detonated, these projectiles will be ejected instantly in all directions, covering a large area in a short time.
Moreover, because of their relationship in space, these projectiles will not have the so-called range problem.
In other words, they will continue to spread outward until they are blocked by something, or until they fly forever.
So, what will happen after 32 Storm missiles are launched simultaneously?
Theoretically, as long as the optimal 32 coordinates are calculated, the storm missiles are deployed and detonated at the same time, a very large area can be covered instantly.
Unless the insect mound is hiding tens of thousands of kilometers away, otherwise, there is basically no possibility of escape.
Of course, it is impossible to destroy the insect mound with these projectiles. Its function is only to assist positioning.
soon...
When all Storm missiles have arrived at their predetermined positions.
Wang Feng decisively detonated them all, and the next moment...
32 missiles were exploded at the same time.
In each one, hundreds of thousands of projectiles shot out instantly, covering a large area in an instant.
The total of 32 pieces directly covers the cross-section of the entire node channel, and it is still extending.
At this time, in a very empty area where there was nothing, a large number of projectiles were fired, as if they hit a non-existent wall and were blocked one after another.
Naturally, this scene cannot escape the radar officer on the Houyi!
"Captain, the target is found in area d3 and has been marked in the real-time tactical model."
"Well done, Chen Xiaoguang, come closer!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Wang Feng, launch a storm missile at that location every ten seconds, piece together its movement trajectory, and then continue launching based on this trajectory."
"clear!"
Wang Feng nodded, and then fired another storm missile.
Jiang Xingchen's strategy is actually very primitive. He first attacks 32 different locations with 32 Storm missiles, and then relies on the characteristics of the missiles to cover each target with a wide range of projectiles.
As I said before, you can become invisible, but you can't disappear.
Although I can't see you, I can attack you. So, as long as I confirm which projectiles are blocked, I can know your approximate location.
Then, based on this position, calculate the time it takes for you to escape the coverage of the storm missile, and periodically re-shoot it to get your latest position.
This way, I can follow you.
Even after getting close, I can use large-scale and uninterrupted short-range firepower to lock your precise position at all times.
Finally, leave it to the mecha troops for the final blow, and that's it!
------
Three minutes ago, on the other side of Node 38.
Human fleet defense line.
"Admiral, due to the departure of the Hou Yi and the raider mecha, there are currently about 100,000 combat insects that have broken through the fire network, and the loss of the defense platform has exceeded 30%."
"If we continue like this, once the insect swarm rushes into the fleet again, our losses will probably expand instantly."
In the bridge of the Wuluo, Luo Hao also said with some worry.
He was not very optimistic about Jiang Xingchen's actions and thought it was too risky.
Rather than taking a gamble, it is better to stick to the original plan, although the loss will be relatively large, maybe 30% or even 40%.
but...
You can definitely win, right?
But the departure of the Hou Yi, coupled with the thousands of Raider mechas it took away, made everything a bit unpredictable.
Both the firepower of the fleet and the combat power of the mecha groups on the front line blocking the war bugs have been greatly weakened as a result, making it easier for the war bugs to break through the fire network and attack the fleet array.
If Jiang Xingchen succeeds, then everything will be fine. Humanity can indeed win this battle at a very small cost.
But once the progress does not go smoothly, or the battle simply fails.
Then the fleet will pay a greater price or even lose the battle.
Therefore, Luo Hao prefers the previous established strategy, which wins because it is stable enough!
"Luo Hao, you are an excellent commander, and your command style is enough to reassure me, but sometimes, being overly cautious can make you overlook some things."
"If it's just a big gamble, why do you think I would agree to Jiang Xingchen doing this?"
"Even if we fail to find the thousand-meter-level worm mounds, as long as we can destroy the five 800-meter-level worm mounds and exert enough pressure on the worm mound group, that will be enough for us!"
"The Starry Sky Zerg is a race with a high degree of intelligence, and with this intelligence, it is inevitable that they will be plotted. You see..."
As he spoke, Mu Zhengfeng pointed at the screen on the tactical panel.
Upon seeing this, Luo Hao's eyes widened immediately.
In the picture, about half of the war bugs are leaving the sea of bugs and retreating.
"Now you understand, even if you can't take down the thousand-meter insect mound, Jiang Xingchen's attack is of great significance."
At this moment, Luo Hao seemed to understand somewhat.
The smarter you are, the easier it is to deal with it. Although this sounds strange, it is true in many cases.
If the starry sky zerg have no wisdom, and the war worms don’t have a mother worm to command them, but they only know how to swarm towards the target and never back down...
That's the hardest thing to deal with.
Because you have no other choice but to fight head-on.
But it's different now. Half of the combat insects retreated, which instantly reduced the pressure on the entire defense line a lot.
Even because the Hou Yi was fighting behind enemy lines, even the firepower from the tail scorpions was weakened a lot.
This is why, Mu Zhengfeng said, even if the Houyi failed to capture the thousand-meter-level insect mound in the end, this attack still had great significance.
The proficiency of war bugs in the sea of bugs has been halved, and their ability to break through fire nets and mecha groups has naturally been greatly weakened.
Therefore, the fleet does not need to worry about more and more war bugs breaking through in a short period of time. Instead, it only needs to concentrate its efforts to deal with the 100,000 war bugs that have broken through before.
With more than 20 warships, it is not a big problem to kill 100,000 war bugs.
"The defense platform continues to maintain firepower and cooperates with the mecha group to block the sea of insects!"
"The warships located at the position where the insect swarm is about to attack should retreat 1,000 kilometers while maintaining firepower. The rest of the fleet will cooperate and use multi-directional cross-fire to completely kill these 100,000 war insects."
