Chapter 918 Intercepting the Swarm

==========
It took several years for the Pengzu to deliver nearly [-] large and small satellites into low and medium orbits with the rapidly growing orbiter technology, thus building a self-proclaimed strict early warning system for outer space.

However, on the second day after the system protection disappeared on January 1, the Zerg slapped the friends with practical actions, telling them that your so-called outer space early warning system is actually a fishing net full of loopholes. Not to mention small fish, I'm afraid even sharks can easily go around.

Starting from January 1nd, until the last intruding Zerg was beheaded by the planetary will, the Zerg used countless loopholes to kill more than 2 tentacle-level monsters in two weeks. Break into the atmosphere.

Although there are no nests in the bugs this time, they are scattered scattered. In order to deal with these enemies, the six atmospheric fleets reorganized by the friends are active all over the world, exhausted.

The combat part of this battle is not the main problem. The key point is that the rush and tediousness are still higher than the previous few Zerg invasions. What is more important is that the spread of bugs must be contained as quickly as possible to prevent the opponent from knowing the core of Double Moon Star. Condition.

However, there are also many arguments in the government that it is precisely because of the few Zerg activities sent by the Zerg this time to test whether the system protection will disappear, that the Friends of the Zerg clearly understand their own shortcomings, and thus once again in the Zerg It will definitely be when a large-scale attack occurs, and there will be advance precautions, and more early warning capabilities can be allocated to make up for those loopholes.

However, although the history books of later generations wrote this way, in fact, on February 2, a few weeks later, when the first large-scale invasion of the Zerg began after the system protection, the Zerg still let the Zerg escape from the seemingly airtight double moon. The air leakage point was found in the star early warning system.

It wasn't until the Zerg army was approaching the orbital altitude of 1000 kilometers that this group of Zerg was accidentally discovered by a soldier from a floating island observation station that originally belonged to the equatorial system of the starry sky.After all, the time from discovery to response is only one month, which is too short.

but……

"Fortunately, it was discovered in advance!"

At an altitude of 780 kilometers in low orbit, in a certain airspace of Double Moon Star, inside the main bridge of the high-speed mobile fleet flagship, Admiral Dia, the commander of the first space fleet of the Pengzu, looked at the interception order just issued in the network with some emotion, and endured I couldn't help shaking my head: "Everyone has reached an altitude of 1000 kilometers, can we catch up?"

"Even if we can't catch up, at least we can carry out orbital bombing in the sky, so that these bugs can also taste the pain of being occupied by air supremacy." In the network, the commander of the newly formed second space fleet, the former commander of the atmospheric combat group Haotian Shang will say so.

The formation of the second space fleet is already in the plan. The original intention of the friends is to complete the formation of a fleet, and then split the second fleet on this basis, and then assemble the third and fourth fleets in the same way.

However, this Zerg raid made the friends realize that their combined strength is good, and the number of flexible fleets is too small. They had to start assembling the second fleet in advance, and even the shelf of the third fleet was replaced by the original atmospheric combat group. Build the foundation.

According to the plan, each of the main fleets of the Pengzu Space Fleet will have one to three motherships (Gashan class), three formations of main bombardment ships (Flower Star) and nine ships, and barrage frigates (Freedom class, Freedom class) Change) Nine ships in three formations, two comprehensive medical supply ships (Harbour-class), and an airport and six defensive satellites as bases, thus forming an all-round battle group to deal with the Zerg space force.

However, time is running out. In addition to the first fleet reaching the standard, Haotian’s second fleet has only realized one Gashan-class mother ship Wangshan and basically only half of the fleet has reached the standard. up.

As for the Third Fleet, it seems to be even worse. Now there is no mothership in place, only three star bombardment ships, six freedom-modified barrage frigates supported by the first and second fleets, and one harbor-class comprehensive supply ship.

However, in order to make up for the lack of carrier-based aircraft armament of the Third Fleet, the Space Command, which is building a command framework, ordered the support ship Dongshan, which was originally organized into a special force, to be temporarily seconded to the Third Fleet. In terms of destructive power alone, the first The three fleets became the strongest of the three fleets.

Because the Dongshan has been completely transformed into a mothership for carrying and delivering mass-energy weapons.

"It's a pity that the old boy Xingtian has transferred to the staff headquarters of the Military Academy. The commander changed the car to the little girl Lan Ying, otherwise the Third Fleet might be turned into a violent madman." Diya made such an evaluation in front of him, and Diya could only crack his mouth and chuckle.

As for General Lan Ying, who was called a little girl at the time, but was actually only a little younger than the two of them, she seemed to have remained silent.

But at this time, the focus is still on intercepting the Zerg.

"Orbital bombing is no problem, but the problem is that the Zerg cannot be unaware of this, right? As a cosmic race, how will they react after fighting against cosmic civilization for so long?"

"It's nothing more than three types. One is to burrow into the ground immediately after landing. Based on the performance of the Zerg in the White Moon and Blue Moon, this possibility is not small, but considering the size of the opponent's troop members, even if they burrow into the ground, not all of them may But as long as they enter the underground world, with the help of those two, the bugs won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Of course there is another way to intercept us directly, so that we can't control the air. But that's head-to-head. At least I have confidence in our combat effectiveness."

At this time, although Haotian thought of the mass-energy conversion bomb, knowing its attack range, he didn't think that this kind of weapon could be used in a spacious war zone like space, and the Zerg didn't use the dense bug sea tactics like the ground. What a power.

Therefore, Haotian still places more confidence in those drones.

自从只装备20mm速射炮的冥蝶1型无人机，这种单一武器无人机带来的优缺点被反馈给朋族工业联合体后，同样装备单一武器，却是80mm轰击炮的冥蝶2型、500N雷霆炮的冥蝶3型、以及300N电浆炮的冥蝶4型很快被推了出来开始装备太空部队。

It is said that the industrial consortium even proposed a concept drone for this purpose. With a basic general-purpose model, other types of weapons can be quickly replaced at any time when needed, but the real thing cannot be seen within two months.

Therefore, Haotian's attention at this time is still focused on the three fleets, which add up to a total of 162 drones of various types.

"The number is still too small!" He sighed: "Actually, since only one external transport module and one command and control module are needed, why not configure a squadron to a variable number of squadrons on each battleship? That way The number of drones in our space force can be doubled even under the existing warships."

It's a pity that even though the Military Academy affirmed the idea submitted by Haotian, it involved the transformation of the warships of the entire space force after all, so there was too much noise and no time to do it, so it could only be rejected in the end.

However, it is said that this design will be considered in the new generation of space battleships, but that is a matter for the future.

"What about the third method?"

Seeing that the distance is still far, probably because the landing needs to slow down, so the Zerg is still at an altitude of about 860 kilometers. Dia, who is about to enter the Zerg warning range, asked Haotian calmly.

"The third method is actually the method that various places have discovered and adopted in order to avoid being attacked by Zerg."

"I see."

Now that the system protection has disappeared, the friends have adopted the settlement mode. If they want to avoid the precise meteorite attack of the Zerg, relying solely on the space fleet is still a little weak.Among other things, if the Zergs accumulate more times and deliver two to three thousand medium and large meteorites at one time, the friends can only stare blankly.

But it is unreasonable to let everyone hide underground.

It's not just a matter of face, it's also because the friends have invested too much in the construction of floating islands and ground industrial areas, especially the transmitters that connect the ground and space can only be built on the surface and floating islands, isn't it? Do the friends have to give up space just to escape?That's ridiculous.

Therefore, in order to cope with the disappearance of system protection, Pengzu put forward many suggestions, and the method finally adopted is very simple - the cloud layer.

It is not artificially creating clouds, but with the help of the will of the planet, after calculating the laws of global weather changes, the global climate is adjusted, resulting in the accumulation of clouds all year round around various industrial areas, and it is a dynamic cloud change.

These clouds will not stay in one place for a long time, but no matter how they move, there will always be a group of clouds blocking the various industrial areas, so as to avoid being discovered by the Zerg.

As for the floating island, you can rely on your maneuverability to follow under the clouds, which do not move fast, which is more suitable for concealment.

Of course, there is no need to worry about dungeons.

But although the will of the planet is responsible for running this change in person, rather than the Yin Gods who will greatly affect the weather, such a large-scale weather modification will still affect the state of the planet after all, so after the calculation of Xiao 8 and Shuangyue , gave Kong Huan and his friends a short period of time, and demanded that at least during this period of time, the friends no longer need the protection of the clouds.

Only Kong Huan knew how long it was.

After understanding Haotian's intentions, the joint formation of the First and Second Fleets is about to enter the area guarded by the large Zerg forces.The fleet began to issue alert orders before battle, and the soldiers who were forced to rest jumped out of their beds one by one. Obviously, few of them really succeeded in resting.

Although this can be evaluated as brave and combative, it also shows the proportion of recruits from the friend race. Perhaps because the fantasy world has a certain dreaming situation, training how to rest is not possible in the fantasy world.

"The fleet is about to enter the attack range, the distance is 600 kilometers, all ships are on alert!"

"The mothership has begun to release manned aircraft, and the drones have been activated at a minimum!"

"The First Fleet is spreading out in battle formation! The frigate is the forerunner, followed by the bombardment ship!"

"Attention the Second Fleet. This mission is to assist the First Fleet in combat. The main target is the small and medium-sized Zerg. The carrier aircraft formation is under the command of the First Fleet Aviation Command Center!"

……

Orders were issued one after another, and when the atmosphere of the battle was not very strong, all soldiers performed at a high level according to the training level, and quickly completed these orders.

At this time, Dia also drew his attention temporarily, and turned to ask the adjutant beside him.

"Go and see where the Third Fleet is? They have patrol missions and haven't acted together at the airport before, and they should arrive one step earlier than us."

"Yes."
