Compared with the last time the beasts invaded, not only did the base suffer heavy losses this time, but the harvest was not as great as the last time. After the fusion nuclear explosion, all the alien beasts within the core range were carbonized, so about one-third of the materials were missing.
.
Moreover, none of the big-headed giant rhino beasts that produce high-end materials appeared this time. This also greatly reduced the post-war profits. The only hope is that the three black-winged sky beasts can give some surprises. However, all the sky beasts have the same characteristics.
That is, it is huge in size and average in weight. It also means that there is not much material that can be harvested.
After cleaning up the ruins and arranging for manpower to rebuild, Lin Xi and Chu Jungui called everyone for a meeting.
The atmosphere in the room was very solemn, and no one spoke. Lin Xi and Chu Jungui looked at each other, and said: "Let me talk about the casualties first. The specific casualties are as follows... The specific losses are as follows...
The main reason for the casualties was the mysterious... war beasts that struck in the first wave."
Hathaway projected an image, which was the moment before a living missile finally landed on the ground and exploded. It can be clearly seen that there are several air holes in the front of the missile, which are violently taking in air, and then ejecting out from the rear.
Hathaway adjusted the image, and after switching between various modes, she could clearly see the direction of the surrounding airflow. Moreover, the missile's wings could also adjust its attitude to change its direction.
"From the analysis of the images, we can see that they are indeed alive and do not use any fuel propulsion technology. From the analysis of the remaining fragments, the probability of belonging to life forms is also the highest," Hathaway said.
Chu Jungui asked Roland, "Have you seen this kind of war beast before?"
Roland looked solemn and said, "Never."
"Well, that means we won the lottery and encountered a brand new war beast."
Roland coughed and said, "This... is actually not surprising."
"How to say?"
"When we first landed here, we actually encountered only alien beasts and lizard beasts. The lizard beasts caused us a lot of trouble at first, but as long as we know their optical stealth capabilities, it is not difficult to crack them. Infrared, ultrasonic waves
, and even special light irradiation are all solutions. We initially used infrared detection and non-visible light irradiation, and basically every battle the lizard beasts were destroyed before they even got close. The main cause of casualties was a large number of alien beasts, they were too
Hurry, there are too many."
Lin Xi and Chu Jungui had a similar experience when they first landed.
Roland continued: "After several battles, we found that the lizard beasts suddenly changed and they no longer emitted heat. Although this did not affect our detection, after all, a walking cold stone is also very strange, isn't it? But this
This change made us very scared. In addition, the Spinyback appeared on the 15th day, which had never happened before."
Chu Jungui was thoughtful, but Lin Xi had already said: "So you are doubting that the beast tide here is intelligent and will continue to evolve?"
Roland nodded, "And they are constantly learning our fighting methods. Of course, this is just my guess."
At this time Hathaway said: "The guess is very reasonable."
Lin Xi pondered for a moment and asked: "I want to know what the Federation is looking for if it attaches so much importance to this place and has invested two main legions in a row?"
Hathaway hesitated and said, "What I know is very limited. Let's put it this way, the real background is that the Federation is preparing for a war against the Tang Dynasty, and this galaxy is in a very important position, so it sent an exploration fleet in advance
Come and explore. Then we discovered Planet No. 4. This type of planet is very rare and may breed some special materials."
"You mean e-matter?"
"Yes." Hathaway did not deny it.
So far, humans have not been able to artificially synthesize e-matter. This mysterious substance can only exist in natural form. If there was an endless supply of e-matter, humans would have stepped out of the Milky Way long ago and would not be as far away from the Milky Way as they are now.
There is still a certain distance in my heart.
E-matter is a necessary condition for maintaining the stable existence of wormholes, so it is also called the oil of the 35th century. However, this oil is too expensive. One gram of e-matter is enough to buy a most advanced spacecraft. For e-matter
There are very good reasons to start a war.
If there is e-matter on Planet 4, its strategic value will be great.
"Are you sure there is e-matter here?"
Hathaway shook his head, "Of course I'm not sure, it's just a guess. All the e-substances discovered so far have appeared in some very extreme environments. We are just trying our luck here. The reason why we pay attention to it is because this is a planet
There is life on the planet, and it is possible that more species will be discovered. There may be other reasons besides that, but that is beyond my purview.”
Lin Xi nodded. It is not too much to devote two legions to a habitable planet. After all, this galaxy is closer to the Federation, and the geographical location is more favorable to the Federation, and it also has the upper hand.
Hathaway said to Middleton: "Now we roughly know where the problem lies. How do you think we should defend against such a missile attack?"
Middleton has rich experience and immediately said: "The shortcomings of their living missiles are very obvious. They are slow, poor in accuracy, not flexible enough, and the explosion is divided into two stages. There are many ways to deal with them. Normally, individual missile defense systems
It is enough to deal with it, but here, most traditional methods are difficult to work. I think the most effective one is the anti-aircraft gun tower controlled by Mr. Chu. Mr. Chu’s shooting skills are unparalleled and he is the best choice for interception. The anti-aircraft gun tower shoots
The problem of insufficient speed can be solved in two ways, one is to increase the number of gun turrets, and the second is to reduce the power to increase the rate of fire."
"Reducing the power is not considered." Chu Jun returned.
Middleton shrugged, and then said: "There is another way, and that is interference."
"Interference? Electromagnetic or something else?" Lin Xi asked.
"No, it's the simplest kind of interference. They don't fly very fast, and their stability is very poor. So as long as we create a fairly powerful explosion in the missile group, we can use the shock wave to blow them away from the planned route.
As long as the location of the explosion is chosen well, we can send all these missiles outside the base."
"What a great idea!" Lin Xi's eyes lit up.
This method is simple and easy to implement and does not require special resources or technology. The only technical content is the selection of explosive points, but this is difficult not to mention Chu Jungui, Lin Xi and Hathaway, not even ordinary soldiers.
Take it seriously. After all, the most ordinary soldiers in Base 2 at the moment are also the elites of the Jolly Roger and Lancer.
Chu Jungui, who was thinking about it, said slowly: "Perhaps, our strategy also needs to be changed."
