Chapter 193 Biotechnology, Strengthening the Fleet, Countermeasures
At Lin Feng’s call, Chi Yi quickly came over.
When she saw the picture played on the opponent’s mobile phone and the scarred chariot nearby, she frowned slightly and explained in a low voice:
“This is the second-order wind-winged insect. A variant attack method, it is roughly equivalent to a human attack aircraft, a support fighter-bomber."
"Because there are a large number of self-banaling bugs mounted on its abdomen, its flying speed is actually not very fast, slowing down to one. Around Mach, that is, more than three hundred meters per second.”
"But after such modification, the egg-bearing wind-wings pose a great threat to ground troops!"
"Each second-order wind-wing can carry more than a ton of supplies, and even the first-order zerg Baneling bugs, which are not even considered, only weigh five kilograms..."
"So a second-order wind-winged bug can carry two hundred self-banaling bugs, and the bombing range is enough to cover 20,000 square meters, a full three-dimensional area. "
"Furthermore, due to its low level, the Baneling Bug hatches very quickly. Simply put, it is a biological stomach sac, similar to the liquid hydrogen sac in the red beetle's body. It only needs raw materials. Just use more water to electrolyze, so the energy generated by the explosion has a very high calorific value, and combined with the hard and thick armor on its surface, it can cause a wide range of fragmentation damage."
Speaking of this, Chiyi gave suggestions:
"Although the self-banaling bug is very powerful, its explosive properties also make it extremely fragile after leaving the wind-winged bug. If it encounters a slight impact and collision, the hydrogen and oxygen mixture inside will instantly detonate. "
"So the heavy machine guns on the tank and the fragmentation impact caused by their mutual explosions can detonate them in the air."
"But I want to do this. , the required firepower density must be higher. It is difficult for a tank that has been around for more than ten years to deal with the continuous bombardment of a group of second-order wind-winged insects."
"The size of the self-banaling insects is too small, and some of them have sprouts. Several tail fins can control the direction of the fall, so it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net. "
"Thousands of self-banaling bugs are swooping in from all directions. Without sufficient firepower output, it is difficult to stop them. ”
After listening to Zhiyi's introduction, everyone looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
Lin Feng took a deep breath:
"What Zhiyi said is right. The fastest solution at present is to increase the density of firepower and create a large firepower net in the sky. Try not to let them in. Get closer."
"So the war is about logistics. Now we need to build more tanks! Use the tanks as firepower to block the entire airspace!"
Then he looked to the side. Burn:
"Can the second line of defense resist the Banelings?"
Li Ran thought for a moment and shook his head:
"It's difficult. At the beginning, we didn't consider that the Zerg would have bombing capabilities. , so the shooting holes are all parallel to the ground surface."
"The reinforced concrete poured on the top is only about one meter thick. According to the data mentioned by Miss Lin, the power of the Baneling Bug is as powerful as the anti-tank. It's about the same as a cannon. Although it's not as scary as an anti-tank mine, as long as the speed is fast enough, the impact of the explosion can still penetrate a fifty-centimeter concrete wall."
"So, as long as it is hit continuously from the same direction. If two self-banaling bugs attack, they will definitely penetrate the top fortifications.”
"But the worst thing is not this..."
Li Ran thought of another possibility:
"If the baneling bugs fall in front of the defense line, they will easily be caught in the shooting holes. If the defenders are hit with machine guns or artillery, the high-speed fragments and shock waves caused by the mid-air explosion will cause a large number of casualties to the soldiers through the shooting holes!"
"In fact, from what I just observed, many tanks in the fleet were damaged! , In fact, the self-banaling bugs were hit by bullets at close range, and exploded in mid-air, causing the weak roof to be hit by fragments."
There is no solution if you have air superiority.
This trick was not used in large quantities by the Zerg when they invaded other planets, because the alien races on those planets either lived in the ocean, or like the Red Clan, they had already emptied most of the red planet, and their civilization lived underground.
But now it seems that this tactic is most useful for humans living on the surface.
But the premise is that the opponent's air power needs to be suppressed, and the Zerg must first gain control of the air.
In fact, as a surface civilization, and with a rare and favorable living environment like Blue Star, humans should vigorously develop aviation technology.
However, due to the fact that civilizations have not yet achieved global unification, there are internal conflicts between each other, and the development time is too short, their air and space power is very weak.
Before the Zerg invasion, looking around the world, only a few major countries had the ability to independently produce fighter jets, and the number of fighter jets capable of combat was only over 20,000.
Although it sounds like a lot, don't forget that there are more than a thousand Zerg Mother Queens alone. The combined number of Greenwings and Windwings is more than 100,000?
So even if the Zerg have long-term shortcomings in terms of air and space power, they can still suppress the Blue Star humans.
It is because the Federation, as the world's most powerful country with nearly 5,000 fighter planes, prevented the Coastal Queen from mobilizing large-scale aerial bombings at the beginning of the war.
Looking at it now...
If you want to deal with the Green Winged Insect's harassment, you can still use ground air defense forces, but to deal with the Wind Winged Insect's high-altitude attack, there is only one way:
Kill it from the air and send out the same weapons as it. A flying unit approaching Mach 2 or 3 speeds.
However, the Blue Star human satellites are now basically scrapped, and ground radars are also affected by electromagnetic pulses, making it impossible for surface-to-air hypersonic missiles to track and lock on targets.
In addition, the wind-winged insect has the same high maneuverability as the green-winged insect. It can stop flying in an instant, hover 180 degrees and turn around. In terms of flight performance, it far exceeds all the aircraft developed by humans. Large fighter plane.
So it seems that the only solution is to form a group of soldiers with the ability to fly.
When Xieyi thought about this, Lin Feng obviously realized that relying on ground air defense to resist the bombing was just a passive defense, and the initiative was still in the hands of the Queen Mother.
Haicheng Mother Queen can consume human logistics resources and disperse their blocking firepower at a very low cost, thus providing diversion and cover for the real main ground attack.
After thinking about it, Lin Feng said:
“If the second line of defense cannot hold it, then reduce the number of defenders inside and concentrate all the firepower on air defense. , no longer has the mission of blocking the insect tide."
"Because only ten tanks can effectively annihilate tens of thousands of black spine insect swarms, even if they face hundreds of them, combined with the fire support of the dreadnought battleship. A thousand second-order tiger spine insects can easily suppress them.”
"We have an absolute advantage on the ground battlefield, so we must use the mobility of the fleet to continue to push the battle outbreak point forward and strive to gain more depth."
"In this way, we can still Don’t worry about the opponent using the second-order pulse war scorpion to attack the second line of defense from a distance.”
The second line of defense is about ten kilometers back, on the shore of East Taihu Lake. The Wucheng defenders are actually fighting with their backs against the wall, so naturally they have to fight. Show the courage to break the boat.
As he spoke, Lin Feng pointed to the five heavy-duty trucks behind him that had finished unloading. Next to them was a mountain of more than 500 tons of fine steel:
"I can probably still do it now. More than forty tanks were synthesized, adding up to sixty vehicles, which could carry at least 1,200 people. They were divided into six teams, surrounding the dreadnought battleship. The two front teams were responsible for attacking the ground insect swarm, and the left and right flanks Taking into account both fire support and air defense, the two squads at the rear of the dreadnought are specifically responsible for defending against self-banaling attacks from the air.”
After saying that, Lin Feng controlled the dreadnought battleship to turn the bow, sail to the vicinity of the pile of fine steel, open the collector on the bow to clean the battlefield, and swallow all the more than 500 tons of fine steel into the storage space.
After the invasion, the Dreadnought battleship slowed down a lot. With Lin Feng’s remote control, its stern hatch opened wide, and brand-new lv19 flying-wing battleships slowly drove out. .
Although the battle this afternoon was fierce, the fleet that was hit did not gain nothing. In addition to devouring a large number of black spine worm corpses, some of the green wing worms that came to investigate were also killed by Chen Yanyan and the sharp-eyed warriors. , shot down directly.
In the end, a total of seventy or eighty green-winged insect corpses were collected.
Enough to produce more than forty flying wing chariots at present, combined with the consumption of copying.
As the chariots drove out from the rear hatch of the dreadnought battleship, they stopped at the station square. It gives everyone the illusion that a whale is giving birth to a baby.
It is as if this dreadnought battleship also has the ability to automatically produce and synthesize.
While everyone was stunned, Lin Feng was checking the attributes of these battlefield replicas:
"LV19 Flying Wing Chariot—Replica, Red Quality"
"Not upgradeable, defense 150, damage 130, average speed 150km/h, cruising range 1000km"
"Extra attributes: biological armor (defense +50), armor-piercing front (damage +20),
< br>Unlimited firepower: twelve heavy machine guns, damage 40, unlimited bullets
Multiple artillery: loaded with five lv19 shotguns, damage 190, range 5km, 5000 ammunition reserve, bullet recovery 1/1s< br>
Ground effect flight: speed increased by 150km/h, able to adapt to complex waterway terrain, fuel consumption increased by 100%, and cruising range reduced by half”
"Note: As a replica, it cannot be upgraded, but it can obtain energy supplements from the original land cruiser, which can be used for endurance travel, spare ammunition and damage repair consumption"
Compared to the original flying wing battleship , this time the replica has more shared attributes.
The spare ammunition and the automatic repair of damage can obtain the energy obtained by calcining Zerg corpses from the dry land sailing attribute of the Dreadnought.
This is of extremely important significance for extending the combat capability of the tank.
In Lin Feng’s view, these special changes...
Perhaps because they were produced directly from the body of the dreadnought battleship, there has been a strong connection between the two since the birth of the replica tank.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Feng can remotely control the lv19 flying wing tank directly through the lv29 dreadnought battleship.
Chen Yanyan, who was behind Lin Feng, obviously also noticed this rather magical point.
In the end, more than 500 tons of fine steel, thousands of black spine insects and dozens of green wing insects were consumed to produce forty-five flying wing chariots.
Together with the remaining fifteen tanks, a total of sixty tanks were made. And this power, coupled with the dreadnought battleship, is enough to easily deal with the impact of the Zerg in Haicheng.
In addition, the last few dozen tons of fine steel were synthesized by Lin Feng into more than 300 lv19 shotguns to arm the soldiers who followed him.
Lin Feng immediately called Li Ran:
"Select a group of late first-order awakeners, about three hundred, and each one will be equipped with a shotgun. I'm executing another important plan."
Li Ran nodded, called the captains in the war camp, and began to screen and gather.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see at this time that following the leader Lin Feng will definitely bring the greatest benefits, and the risks are controllable. The second is to join the fleet and become an artillery operator on the tank, although this has certain risks. , but it is easy to kill a large number of Black Spine Worms and be promoted to the peak of the first level, so there is a lot to gain.
Excluding the 300 temporary guards of the leader and the 1,200 fleet members, the remaining 3,500 soldiers can only stay on the second line of defense, or be responsible for later command and support substitute teams in the camp.
Not only is there the risk of being bombed, but the benefits of killing insects and advancing to the next level are not seen at all...
So the discerning people immediately enthusiastically signed up to become the leader's direct team, and the others who were not strong enough also actively participated. Find a fleet and apply to become a gunner.
Taking advantage of the gap in personnel arrangements, Lin Feng repaired the fifteen battle-damaged tanks returned from the battlefield one by one.
Then he took out the remaining dozen pairs of green-winged insect corpses in the storage space from the rear hatch of the dreadnought battleship.
Nowadays, up to a dozen pieces of lv19 Chixuan Flying Armor can be made from them, but the battery life of each set is only about ten minutes.
So judging from the ultimate speed, altitude, and duration of flight, the flying soldiers wearing the Chixuan Flying Armor are simply unable to carry out the mission of attacking the second-order wind-winged insects thousands of meters above the ground.
This is also one of the obvious shortcomings of the armor.
Although it retains the solid defense and flight capabilities of the Zerg, it is difficult to adapt as flexibly as the Zerg because it does not have a supporting supply of physical support.
After all, one is a burden worn on the body, while the other is a naturally growing part of the body.
The flight performance issues we are currently facing are a concentrated expression of this aspect.
When the green winged insect's membrane wings grow on its body, it can be used at will. As long as there is sufficient energy in the body, it can continue to fly for several hours without worrying about the membrane wings flapping and overheating.
Because the roots of the membrane wings are connected to the blood circulation of the entire body, and the whole body naturally dissipates heat when blown by the wind during flight.
Unlike the flying armor, due to the overheating problem at the base of the membrane wings, it can only last for about ten minutes.
When Lin Feng took out the green-winged insect's body at this time, he was actually looking for a way to solve this problem.
He turned his attention to the eight second-order battle groups that were gathering and reorganizing.
But according to the division of genetic warriors and ordinary awakened people, the battle group is now divided into four ordinary battle groups with 80 members and five leaders, and three gene warrior groups with 70 members and a leader. Three people.
So with Lin Feng's approval, Liu Yi became the general leader of four ordinary battle groups.
This is also the main force that followed Lin Feng and carried out the beheading plan.
As for the genetic battle group composed of genetic warriors, Lin Feng is ready to give them a difficult yet easy task:
Form an air and sky regiment specifically to deal with the high-altitude baneling bombings used by the Queen of Haicheng!
At this time night has fallen.
The number of patrol posts in the entire camp has increased tenfold. Everyone is tense and ready!
Under Lin Feng's order, Shen Jie led seventy-two genetic warriors to the room where the green-winged insect corpses were stored, and then disposed of the insect corpses in front of everyone.
Pull off the membrane wings on their backs, and cut them off together with the thick muscle and ligaments at their roots.
Then he started eating in big gulps.
While eating, he said:
"Since you have my cellular genes in your body, it will naturally activate your ability to fly. Greenwings and blackspines are actually from the same origin... "
"Try it, it should be able to activate that part of the gene!"
After that, he threw the other half of the membrane wing in his hand to the leader of the genetic war group in front of him.
After the other party took it, he swallowed unconsciously.
In the quiet room, apart from the crisp chewing sounds from Shen Jie's mouth, there was suddenly another sound of swallowing.
