Bugs capable of long-range attacks?

If you want to ask why, for hundreds of years, although the starry sky Zerg have often entered the Canglan system, the resistance army has been able to remain as stable as Mount Tai relying only on the Jiangkai Type 3 patrol ships?

Actually, there are two reasons for this.

First, the worm mounds are too large. Although there are a large number of temporary or permanent safe routes in the Death Nebula, most of the worm mounds are inaccessible.

Therefore, until now, only some war bugs who had separated from the group came to the Canglan system by chance.

Not to mention the small number, the key point is that without the command of the female insect, its reaction is also quite slow, and it does not have much combat effectiveness.

Second, this is actually a continuation of the first point, because all those coming are war bugs, which only have close combat as a fighting method. They will naturally suffer a great loss when faced with long-range attacks from human technological weapons.

Moreover, even the old Jiangkai Type 3 patrol ship can ensure that its speed is faster than those war insects.

In other words, as long as you use the tactic of flying kites, you can beat these war bugs to the point of losing their temper.

But now the situation is different.

The last insect mound invasion incident proved that in addition to the routes for humans to enter and leave the Death Nebula, there are also routes sufficient for the insect mounds to pass.

Although I don't know where this route is, nor do I know if this route is large enough to pass through the insect mound, but after all, there is such a route.

That means that insect mound invasions are likely to become the norm in the future.

And if on this basis, we add this brand-new insect that is likely to have long-range attack capabilities...

Then, all the advantages humans have over the insect mound will be completely wiped out.

It can even be said that bugs with long-range attack capabilities are ten times and a hundred times more threatening than bug mounds. It is not an exaggeration at all.

Imagine that thousands of Zerg are attacking you from a distance at the same time...

This kind of firepower is probably comparable to that of an entire fleet.

Although he didn't know the attack power, Luo Hao definitely didn't want to try it.

"Captain, Qian Duoduo team and Ye Yunzhou team have sent the target to the cargo ship and have all boarded the ship!"

"Notify the cargo ship to evacuate at maximum speed, Fuxing will follow, and Wuluo will take the rear!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Radar Officer, how far are we from the support of the Starry Sky Zerg?"

"7300, according to the current speed, contact will be made in about 5 minutes. In addition..."

"What else?"

"In addition, since the cargo ship is relatively slow, as the rear, we can only retreat at the second battle speed..."

Hearing this, Luo Hao was also slightly startled, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Calculate now. If we retreat at the second battle speed, how long will it take for those bugs to catch up with us?"

"About 78 minutes, Captain!"

78 minutes...

Luo Hao was silent.

After all, it would take about ten hours to pass through this passage and enter a place where you can jump.

But now, it only takes more than an hour to catch up, which is obviously impossible to survive to the jump point.

what to do?

Abandon the cargo ship and the loot, transfer all the personnel to the Wuluo and Fuxing, and then evacuate at full speed?

It's not that it's impossible, it's just...

Although we were not able to collect all the corpses of the war bugs just now due to time issues, we have collected some of them, not to mention the complete corpses of the two female bugs.

If you abandon these, wouldn't your mission this time be in vain?

But if we don't abandon it, once those bugs catch up, it will also be a huge trouble, and it may even cause all three ships to fall.

Contradictory, too contradictory.

"Captain, can you let me take command?"

Just when Luo Hao was about to compromise, give up the loot and lead everyone to evacuate, Jiang Xingchen on the side spoke.

"Xingchen, do you have any idea?"

"I do have some ideas that I can try. Even if it doesn't succeed, I can do it in the way the captain wants. But if it succeeds..."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you!"

Luo Hao didn't hesitate for too long and nodded in agreement.

He knew very well that he could no longer think of any solution, so if he left it to Jiang Xingchen, maybe some miracle would happen?

Even if it doesn't work, there is still enough time to transfer people and evacuate.

"Weapons Officer, how many cold fusion missiles do we have on board?"

"Eight in total, first mate!"

"Well, everyone is ready for launch!"

"Yes...ah, all of them?"

"Yes, can't you understand my order?"

"Yes, first mate!"

Although thirty cold fusion bombs had been used before, those were carried extra just for this battle and were not standard equipment on the Wuluo.

As for the Wuluo, in the standard configuration, the missile silo is equipped with eight cold fusion missiles.

This is, this thing is used as a trump card, but Jiang Xingchen plans to launch it all at once, no wonder the weapons officer is surprised.

And the weapons officer was not the only one who was surprised. Luo Hao also looked at Jiang Xingchen with some confusion.

"Xingchen, what do you want to do?"

"Collapse, artificially created a space collapse in the passage!"

"Do you want to use the turbulence of space?"

Hearing this, Luo Hao's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of shock.

Indeed, there have been theories before that as long as a strong enough energy bursts out in an instant, it will be enough to tear apart space and artificially create short-term space turbulence.

But this is just a theory after all, no one has really tried this, and the most important thing is, even in theory, if you want to achieve such an effect...

The energy required is by no means what a cold fusion bomb can achieve...

This won't work...

"Captain, I know that you think that although the cold fusion missile is very powerful, it still cannot reach this level, right?"

"That's right, Xingchen, you are wasting your time, it's impossible!"

"No, although it is normally impossible, Captain, we are not in a normal space now..."

Not a normal space?

Death Nebula...

Space turbulence...

Could it be...

"Xingchen, are you sure you can succeed?"

After being reminded, Luo Hao finally realized what Jiang Xingchen was referring to.

Although it is possible...

But Luo Hao still believes that this possibility is very low.

"Captain, don't worry, I've already calculated it and it's more than 80% feasible. It's worth a try!"

"To say the least, even if it fails, we can follow the original captain's idea and immediately transfer the people over and abandon the cargo ship. As for the waste of eight cold fusion missiles, I will be solely responsible for it!"

Jiang Xingchen said confidently.

However, when Luo Hao heard these words, he was a little reluctant.

"What do you mean you have to bear it all?"

"I'm the captain, okay?"

"You can go ahead and do it boldly, but if it fails, I will take care of it, and it won't be your turn, a little brat under twenty years old!"

Although Luo Hao spoke loudly and seemed to be angry, Jiang Xingchen knew that he was protecting himself, and he was still very moved in his heart.

"Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely succeed!"
