The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 346 Live Broadcast
"If you don't believe us, we are preparing to attack a nest of the thing you mentioned. We can synchronize the footage and send it to you via radio signals."

Another radio signal was sent out and received by the other side - at this time, the attack had been temporarily stopped, and only the fiery propulsion fluid at the rear of the battleship continued to gush out, pushing the other side's escort ships forward. At the same time, the ship heading towards the star also continued to move forward and approach.

It seemed that the other party was indeed considering this proposal - not long after, another radio signal finally came from the other party's location.

"Sent to **** frequency band, received by us."

"The enemy's warships have arrived, and their numbers are enough to wipe out our escort ships. It is unlikely that they will continue to delay. This should be credible."

"But I still can't trust him completely. What do you think of the first sentence? Can you tell whether it was Willery himself or a disguise after he got his memory?"

"There are no obvious flaws, but there is no evidence either. However, if the other party is pretending, it means that the situation of the Fifth Exploration Fleet has been well understood. They even know that if someone says this, we are more likely to believe it."

"Or maybe we are overthinking it. But no matter what, delaying the time is actually beneficial to us to a certain extent. The plan remains unchanged. We must be prepared to completely self-destruct at any time. Before that, let's see what the other party is going to do."

In the dense vegetation and fungus layer, huge holes suddenly burst open, accompanied by splashing soil and rocks. Figures over two meters long jumped out from the structure under the ground, stretching out their six developed limbs and a pair of claws on their backs, and moving forward.

At the same time, countless small flying insects vibrated their membranous wings and followed closely behind, flying out like a black cloud, scanning with their pairs of specialized compound eyes. In their brains, a series of developed neural structures processed the signals sent back by the optic nerves and merged them into special synaptic structures, and then transmitted them to the huge network to which they were connected.

Huge neural arrays that resemble the brain and have some special structures quickly analyze these signals, then transmit them to the consciousness of another individual, and after a series of equally complex transformations, they are projected forward.

An equally special receiving structure begins to operate, synchronously converting these sound and light signals into electrical signals, sending them outward, then being captured by another individual and sent again through the special synaptic structure in the brain.

This whole structure seems to be full of unnecessary and repetitive conversions, but it is the best method at present and it is also the helpless move after both parties have been struggling for a long time.

Lin Yi was really not good at radio. He could just passably transmit sound signals, but realizing the synchronous conversion and transmission of sound and light signals was a bit overwhelming for him.

It's not that the bandwidth is insufficient, on the contrary. The current spatial synaptic structure has an astonishingly high signal transmission capacity. Eight more such signals are sufficient for synchronous transmission. However, he has no knowledge of the format and conversion methods, so he has to resort to this last resort.

The Ezki Fifth Exploration Fleet temporarily transformed a structure that could sense light signals and store and convert them into radio signals. The projection worms projected the light signals onto its surface and then converted them into radio signals. These radio signals were absorbed by some structures, passed through space synapses, and then sent out through the large radio wave transmitters carried by the star scorpions in the star system countless light years away.

Sending the converted radio signal directly is like sending a ciphertext. Although the party responsible for transmitting the message does not fully know the meaning, both the sender and the receiver can clearly know it.

The signals sent back by many special ancient web-winged flying insects were now capturing all situations from multiple angles and broadcasting them to the rear, while in the front, the march of a large group of crazy-toothed saw-ants also began.

Among the ant colony, there are some huge figures that are ten meters long and comparable in size to the first generation of Fearless Soldier Scorpions. Their relatively flat, curved bodies, a pair of axe-like claws on their backs, ferocious heads, huge curved compound eyes, and six already incredibly thick appendages all indicate their identities.

The main battle weapons and armor, the "tanks" of Lin Yi's side in the era of nest hegemony, have now also undergone a comprehensive upgrade from materials to structure, and have once again joined the nest's planetary combat grade sequence.

Like previous versions, their exoskeleton strength has been greatly enhanced, and their defense capabilities are basically comparable to those of later main battle tanks. And because of the advantages brought by the appendage-based stepping chassis, they even have the mobility of Ezki large-scale combat machinery.

However, their resurrection was partly due to the fact that the fire-breathing saw ants performed brilliantly against various structures in the last battle, which gave Lin Yi the idea of ​​producing this grade of product again, which was equipped with biological flamethrowers from the beginning. On the other hand, it was a test of some brand-new structures.

Among the ordinary main battle armor groups, there are some larger ones, but the claw-blade structure on the back has basically degenerated, and replaced by a towering structure that slants upward like flight muscles.

This towering structure located on the shoulder and back makes the overall height of this type of main battle armor much higher. There are also a small number of keratin protrusions attached to the top, which serves as a decoration in a sense. Similarly, its limbs are slightly longer, especially the two pairs of hind limbs, the proportions of which are even clearly visible to the naked eye.

Lin Yi actually obtained these new structures not long ago, and this test is also to see the advantages and disadvantages of this structure compared to traditional kinetic warheads, and whether it can be used as a relatively close-range attack method for the nest.

In the past, the main means of attack for main battle armor against various large targets with heavy armor protection was actually the pair of claw blades and their derivative structures, such as the variant sub-grade hammer armor that replaced the claw blades with a hydraulic hammer structure, while the flamethrower was more of a weapon aimed at small-scale, that is, targeting soft targets equivalent to infantry to cause damage.

But now, melee attacks can only be used as an auxiliary means, which also means that now, they have more than enough "soft attack" but insufficient armor-piercing ability. If the opponent has a gold shield heavy armor target that needs to be destroyed, in an environment where the Kui Chi Diver, Mortar Spider and other offensive levels cannot take action, Lin Yi will need to find some alternative means of attack for them.

This structure was created because of this - its source was actually the huge creature, or more precisely, the creature that the other party had proliferated in the last battle, which looked like an upright starfish, or simply an extension of the upper body of the Ezki. After all, their power should not be underestimated.
