Chapter 2324: Occupying the Planet Kira
2325: Occupying the Planet Kira
The "Ant Colony" project can be said to have filled the last shortcoming of the Zero Operation Plan. Using these proliferation-controllable B.O.Ws to carry out destructive work, whether in terms of concealment or casualties, is far less than orbital bombing. For example, for the planet Kira this time, a total of 800,000 "ant colony" larvae were invested, of which about 400,000 found hosts, and most of the rest died halfway.
Then these 400,000 hosts plus the killings caused by mutation will not exceed 5 or 6 million in total, and they are also very scattered. Compared with the situation where a city is wiped out by an orbital bombing, and a continent is wiped out by a subsequent bombing, it is not easy to attract attention in any aspect.
The most important thing is that its help in landing on a planet is actually no less helpful than indiscriminate orbital bombing. Often a dozen monsters can bring a military base to a standstill.
Therefore, the most critical aspect of this project is the controllable spread. Those mutated monsters will not spread the virus after causing killings. After the battle is over, Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group can directly send specialized personnel to recover them.
But there are hidden dangers in both the recycling work and in ensuring that the virus will not spread or mutate - after all, according to the original plan, it will take at least one or two years before a war breaks out. , and plenty of time to make improvements.
And from Alexia’s perspective, she believes that the “ant colony” can definitely do more. This kind of biological weapon can even change the environment of a planet forever! And just to create chaos? This is a complete waste of natural resources!
So her pursuit of the continuous evolution and improvement of the "ant colony" has never stopped.
This is why on the planet Chalcedon, in order to hunt down the escaped Adapter Zero - the Serian girl named Anna, Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group invested a huge amount of money. Force to hunt. But in the end, he was disturbed by the secret actions of the rebel army.
After that, although with Alexia Ashford's genius and wisdom, the "Ant Colony" project was still successfully completed, it was still one step away from the perfection in Alexia's mind.
That’s why Alexia wanted to get more test samples through actual combat data, trying to find a second adapter, or find another way to solve the problem of "ant colony" a flaw.
But for Ling Liang, she only needs an "ant colony" that can cause chaos. As a very traditional soldier, she believes that the army will still have to rely on the army to solve all this.
At this moment on the planet Kira, the army has indeed reached the final moment to solve the problem.
The deployment was completely disrupted by the 400,000 T-Veronica mutant monsters scattered all over the planet, and then under the targeted attack of the GA-TL1 sword-type air fortress, the orbital defense system of the planet Kira Collapse quickly. All 40 sets of V-150 Planet Defender orbital cannons were destroyed, as were countless other anti-aircraft positions.
Without the cover of the ground air defense system, the air superiority on the surface of the planet Kira was quickly firmly controlled by the Dawn Principality fleet. After three consecutive days of bombing, almost most of the ground troops on the planet Kira were cut off from each other and became isolated armies.
Immediately afterwards, the ground troops of the Principality of Dawn first assembled an armored group composed of 200 Scorpion tanks and quickly tore apart the frontal defense line of the capital area, opening a gap of more than 70 kilometers long. Immediately afterwards, with 5,000 Incholi Avengers 103 as the guide, they directly entered the city to engage in street fighting.
And the mutated creatures that mutated from the "ant colony" also began to move towards the capital area under the guidance of Umbrella technicians. Facing these monsters transformed by biotechnology, the defenders of the planet Kira, who were preparing to deal a heavy blow to the Principality of Dawn in street battles, quickly collapsed.
Less than 3 days after the Dawn Principality Army launched its attack, the planet’s capital area was completely captured!
On August 11th, the entire planet Kira surrendered!
After this battle, starting on August 6, the Dawn Principality completely captured Kira, the Galactic Empire's heavily guarded fortress planet, in just five days!
During this battle, the Galactic Empire fleet was completely annihilated. A total of 982 Kilometer-class battleships were sunk, severely damaged, or surrendered. Half of them were expensive Imperial-class Star Destroyers, and some even included An Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, a Commander II-class Dreadnought, and three Commander-class Dreadnoughts.
2,487 light cruiser-level small and medium-sized warships were lost, and more than 17,000 combat aircraft such as TIE fighters, V-wing Alpha Holy Fighters, and ARC-170 heavy-duty multi-purpose fighters were lost.
1.72 million naval officers and soldiers died, and more than 20,000 were injured or captured. The army suffered more than 900,000 casualties and more than 7 million prisoners.
The Navy of the Principality of Dawn lost more than 140 capital ships, most of which were Victory II-class Star Destroyers, while 29 Hells Angel-class battlecruisers were sunk, including 3 Apocalypse-class battleships. Was hit hard. Others, including the most powerful battleships such as the Ankeron-class Titan battleship and the Apocalypse-class battleship, were generally only damaged without affecting their combat effectiveness. The Archon-class aircraft carrier was even more unscathed!
For the Army, the 800,000 "ant colonies" are disposable items. They were all recycled after the surrender of Kira Planet, then crushed and turned into biomass to produce other B.O.W. More than 12,000 Inchori Avenger 103, a total of more than 3,000 were killed.
The regular ground troops suffered about 20,000 casualties.
It can be said that with such a slight loss, a fortress planet was almost completely occupied! This is simply a miracle!
On the Kira planet occupied by the Dawn planet, 70% of the industrial facilities and almost all agricultural facilities on the surface have been preserved and have not been damaged. Except for the landing site and the capital area, which were severely damaged by the war, other cities were also almost undamaged.
The only huge loss was the complete destruction of the planet's orbital defense system, the complete destruction of the planetary shield, and the destruction of all the armed space stations and space ports on the periphery of the planet.
However, there are a large number of factories on the planet, and it is not difficult to rebuild these facilities.
Now, a large number of Raz-class heavy engineering ships are ready to go behind the Principality of Dawn. This 800-meter-long giant engineering ship has begun to transport parts from the large space port and is expected to be assembled within a week. A large spaceport that can accommodate 200 capital ships.
And more spaceports are being shipped, manufactured and assembled.
In a month at most, Planet Kira will be able to operate at full capacity and become the most critical forward base for the Dawn Principality fleet!
Due to the occupation of the planet Kira, the Galactic Empire’s control over the Hydia Channel has almost been opened up, and the capital of the 16th Army, the planet Chardaan in the inner ring, will be attacked. To a direct threat!
