Chapter 858 - Deep Space
"The first transport ship has taken off. It's so exciting!"
Miyoshi Xuesen looked out of the porthole and saw a long and thick flying ship slowly entering the "wormhole cloud". He could hardly hold the teacup in his hand.
The precious landing time window will not be too long, and now both sides are racing against time to try to turn the situation as much as possible in their favor.
"The tough battle is about to begin!"
Chen Fei maintained two perspectives in front of his eyes, one was Midway Island, and the other was the alien planet opposite the "wormhole cloud". The monster crater that was still burning had a large number of gaps, the flames were forcibly extinguished, and a large number of traces of white frost appeared.
As expected, the parasitic species did not take no action. To be precise, they played the corresponding cards. War is a matter of back and forth, and there is rarely a one-sided massacre.
Large snow-white beetles appeared from the distant horizon and swarmed in like a tide at a very fast speed. They knocked aside the tall and dense ferns, spewed out white air, and put out the raging flames. Their tall and spiked horns easily pushed away the accumulated charred debris and broke into the fire crater area swept by the thermobaric bomb.
Each white beetle is about 20 meters long, like a small hill, and is enough to easily overturn the infantry armored fighting vehicles currently in service on Blue Star.
"What do you see?"
The monk knew that Chen Fei was using a different perspective, which was not a superpower but technology.
But even if he had a hundred guts, he still wouldn't dare let artificial intelligence AI take over and interfere with his visual nerve signals. Who knows whether what he sees is real?
Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone. Chen Fei said generously: "'Adam', 10 kilometers radius, 45-degree viewing angle, holographic projection, additional identification mark."
The next second, a holographic stereoscopic image with a radius of ten meters was projected into the bridge cabin.
Most of the corresponding "wormhole cloud" on the surface of the alien planet is still burning, some of which have been broken through by the corpse crater, and the fern forest in the distance is burning more and more fiercely.
Blue Star sent a large number of reconnaissance drones to the opposite side, and thus obtained a large amount of intelligence data, not only optical images, but also electromagnetic and laser scanning data.
When the white beetle vanguard that broke into the "Ring of Fire" was still 7 kilometers away from the "wormhole cloud", the first large transport ship had already emerged in its entirety, with the hatches on the left and right sides and the bottom opened at the same time, and a large number of combat units swarmed out.
Unmanned tactical aircraft continuously rushed into the sky, forming many small formations of three aircraft and flying in all directions. They were the main air control force in the initial landing, and were not inferior even to those "fighter bug" creatures.
After all, both sides are consumables, one comes from the industrial assembly line, and the other comes from the biological assembly line. Even if they have to sacrifice themselves in a collision, they will not hesitate at all, and the casualties of intelligent races = 0.
The violent shock wave from the thermobaric bomb that had been launched earlier caused the circling "fighter bugs" to either explode in mid-air or fall down like dumplings. Only two or three kittens that posed no threat were left, and the sky became clear.
The transport ship's close-range railgun began firing intensively, and the white beetles, rushing like a tide, were pierced through their bodies by the high-explosive projectiles delivered by the railgun. The thick shells on their bodies obviously could not withstand the implosion, and a large number of cracks appeared on the surface. Some beetles even broke into pieces on the spot. Their body fluids with extremely low temperature properties gushed out, condensing the moisture in the air into ice.
Although the white beetle is huge in size and has amazing impact force, its shortcomings are also obvious. Once its peers in front are killed one after another, the bodies of its peers will become an obstacle to the charge from behind. Even if the sharp push pins can easily blow it away, the momentum of the impact will be weakened again and again. When it wants to accelerate again, it is no longer so easy.
A large number of incendiary bombs were dropped by the unmanned tactical aircraft onto the swarm of white beetles, advancing layer by layer into the depths like raindrops.
The oxygen-rich atmosphere has become an advantageous environment for incendiary bombs. The flames that were originally orange-red on the Blue Star have now turned into a cyan-blue color, which is a much higher burning temperature. The temperature of the flame is enough to turn the land into lava in a very short time, and even skips the vitrification process.
Although the freezing air spewed out by the white beetle can extinguish the flames, it cannot withstand the continuous flow of high-yield incendiary bombs and the enhanced combustion temperature.
A large number of "fighter bugs" appeared in the distant sky, including the first-generation "01" and the second-generation "02", and the number directly exceeded ten thousand.
The battle for air supremacy between the two sides broke out in an instant.
At this moment, the first large transport ship had landed, and various light and heavy equipment began to be deployed. The second and third large transport ships also rushed out of the "wormhole cloud" one after another, and more tactical drones rushed into the sky.
"The first stage is 30 minutes, 25 minutes left!"
When the "Alien Normandy" operation officially began, Chen Fei also obtained a complete landing plan at the first time.
The first stage is not to engage in close combat with alien monsters, but to gain control of information. The core is to launch satellites to monitor the entire planet from a strategic high point.
But before the satellite was launched, a reconnaissance drone had already flown to an altitude of 50,000 meters above the ground, capturing more images by looking down.
At an altitude of 50,000 meters above the ground, there is still biological activity. There are deep-space floating creatures similar to giant jellyfish, with an outline diameter of more than a kilometer. It is itself a large and diverse biological colony. The ecological properties still need further research to figure out how so many kinds of large and small creatures can survive and reproduce at this altitude.
At least one thing is that this large deep space floating settlement is not very interested in the reconnaissance drones of the Blue Star civilization. Unlike those "fighter bugs" with clear purposes, they will rush over and fight without hesitation once they come into sight.
Therefore, scientists who followed the "Alien Normandy" operation in real time speculated that they might be native creatures of this alien planet, and not biological weapons cultivated by the "Sagari" clan.
If this is true, the first phase of the satellite launch plan should be smoother and will not be intercepted or attacked during the launch process.
I'm afraid even the parasitic species didn't expect that the planet where they cultivated war weapons would be invaded, and they even wanted to launch satellites to establish a deep space information network.
The battlefield data link below 5 meters above the ground has been established. High-altitude drones and other drones can jointly track more than one million targets in real time, and mark them one by one in the three-dimensional holographic projection. The predicted attack trajectory and the team's own attack trajectory are criss-crossed, and the damage assessment of the actual impact point is presented in a three-dimensional spherical range.
The clear and intuitive on-site simulation greatly reduces the pressure of command, and even civilian real-time strategy game players can cope with it.
What's more, there is more than one command team conducting remote and real-time remote control of the scene, and they are cooperating with each other according to the original plan to gradually achieve the expected tactical goals.
It is clearly an entertainment video game, but it has been given the meaning of war. It is truly worthy of the Blue Star civilization.
"'Rookie', do you think we don't have enough drones?"
Miyoshi Gakumori compared his own tactical drones with the group of "fighter bugs" flying over. Emmm, 2000 (tactical drones) VS 14750+ (fighter bugs). It is easy to encounter a situation where the enemy outnumbers us when fighting away from home.
"Tian Ji's horse race, the drone's air superiority is a ground attack, and the ground's air defense firepower is even more abundant."
Chen Fei glanced at the ground defenses deployed around the "wormhole cloud". A large number of rail guns were set up, with their muzzles pointed at the sky in all directions. The largest caliber exceeded 1200 mm.
The largest caliber shells pushed out were basically enough to flatten football fields.
What is professional matching? The monk understood it immediately after the fighter veteran explained it.
There aren't enough tactical drones, but there are more than enough railguns.
The drone swarm avoided the attack trajectory of the railgun on the ground in advance, and a large number of large-caliber railguns launched a salvo together. Countless porcelain-coated steel balls with a diameter of about 30 mm formed a large black barrage visible to the naked eye that soared into the sky.
Then there was another barrage of comments.
Railgun firing requires a large amount of electrical energy. Unlike firearm shells, the chemical energy required for firing is pre-packaged in the shell casing. Therefore, continuous salvo firing consumes a lot of energy. However, for the crystal energy reserved for the entire operation, it is still within an acceptable consumption budget.
The swarm of "fighter bugs" came over like a black cloud without dodging or evading, and went straight into the barrage of 30 mm diameter porcelain-coated steel balls. Fireballs exploded continuously, and a large area was cleared out in an instant.
The high oxygen content in the atmosphere will accelerate the efficiency of air friction combustion, which is not very friendly to the effective shooting range of magnetic rail weapons, so a thin layer of high-temperature resistant special ceramics is covered on the surface of the solid projectile.
The salvo of more than a thousand railguns was astonishing in both momentum and killing effect. Large groups of "fighter bugs" were annihilated in mid-air. Like the aircraft of the Blue Star civilization, these flying creatures also had the disadvantage of thin skin and full fillings. The 30mm caliber projectiles were enough to easily penetrate their bodies, causing the leakage of highly volatile and flammable body fluids, or even direct combustion and explosion.
The real meaning of modern warfare lies in low-cost and high-efficiency slaughter. How much does a porcelain-coated steel ball with a diameter of about 30 mm cost? How much can a salvo of millions of them be worth? I am afraid that it is not as expensive as a short-range intelligent combat bullet wholesaled to private military contractors.
The scorching flames emitted by the upright carrier rocket vaporized a large amount of liquid water, and white water vapor spread in all directions.
48 satellites in one rocket, directly heading towards high-altitude synchronous orbit.
Some "fighter bugs" broke away from the main formation and tried to intercept, but they could not catch up with the faster carrier rockets and were left behind in the blink of an eye. A field of porcelain-coated projectiles instantly submerged the flying combat weapons of these creatures.
