Beneath Deep Space

The war has begun!

The new humans used all their strength from the very beginning! Cannonballs regardless of cost are being poured out crazily, and countless lights are lighting up one after another in this cosmic space.

In addition to a few large flagships that are not very maneuverable and shoot from a distance slightly behind, a large number of unmanned spacecraft, including Titan and Yuyan, formed assault phalanxes one after another, overwhelming them like a mountain. !

The science and technology of the New Humanity are better than the opponent's in terms of hardware, but the software is unknown. However, the number of spaceships is smaller, and the opponent also has a battle star. It is difficult to determine who will win.

With the high-speed movement of the leading spacecraft, half an hour later, the decisive battle between the two sides, which started as a long-distance firefight, was about to turn into a battle within 100,000 kilometers.

This type of close combat is also the most lethal. The delay of light speed weapons is only 0.3 seconds, and various kinetic energy weapons are also within the range.

From the perspective of the Future, the New Humanity's spacecraft is like a neatly arranged nest of wasps, charging menacingly towards a big iron ball. And the opponent's spaceship is like a nest of neatly arranged wasps next to the iron ball...

This group of "wasps" looks very small in the context of the entire universe, but it is the full fighting power of both sides!

Soon, the formations of both sides were all disrupted. Their respective leading ships rushed into the enemy fleet and started chasing each other.

In the battlefield, electromagnetic artillery shells flew randomly, lasers fired randomly, and the flashes of various large nuclear bombs caused the entire battlefield to become chaotic. The damage rate of the spacecraft is significantly higher than that of shooting from a distance.

Obviously, even if the New Humanity has several flagships shooting from a distance behind and does not directly participate in the battle at close range, it still vaguely suppresses its opponents.

"There are still 8% of drones in stock. Don't release them for the time being." Yu Yifeng looked at the chaotic battlefield with some nervousness. It's always a good thing to have some trump cards. If you really want to escape, these drones are all used to take the rear.

At this time, the war observation system of the Future suddenly sounded an alarm, and the metallic planet that had been silent for a long time had already lit up a large number of light spots!

"coming!"

As a large number of light spots flashed, several "Titans" that were closer were attacked by this wave and instantly disintegrated and turned into a large ball of fire.

According to the photos after the incident, tens of thousands of turrets on the metal planet, including satellite orbital guns suspended in the sky, fired almost simultaneously within this second, forming a dense fire network!

It was these tens of thousands of firepower networks that almost destroyed less than half of the vanguard force in a manner that shocked the entire audience.

Seeing this scene, Yu Yifeng secretly sighed: "Fortunately, there was a vanguard to test it out. The firepower of this planet is probably only about one-tenth complete. Otherwise, hundreds of thousands or even millions of turrets would have been deployed in unison. Fire, that’s not what it’s like now.”

He loudly said in the communication channel: "Has the mission of the vanguard been completed? Once completed, pull the battle line back and don't get too close to the metal planet!"

"Report to Captain, there is no... news yet!"

"Grass..." The veins on Yu Yifeng's forehead jumped, which meant that the new human troops had to fight in close combat against the combat power of this planet.

Once the firepower of this planet really breaks out, it is too fierce. Even if it is only one-tenth of its combat power, it will still cause a lot of damage to the new humanity.

The attack technology of the turret is not very advanced. It is just an ordinary laser and ion cannon. It is a real anti-matter cannon. Many of them were blown up by super-light missiles at the beginning, but they couldn't bear the large number!

The metal planet has a diameter and tonnage of more than 2,000 kilometers. More than 20 anti-matter missiles will only hit a few big holes and will not damage the foundation.

"It's... amazing!"

"With a planet on its back, its firepower, energy power, heat dissipation capabilities and anti-strike capabilities are indeed beyond the comparison of ordinary spaceships." Yu Yifeng was frightened and at the same time envious of this battle star. If the planet fruit is handed over to the hands of new humans, it will definitely be transformed into something more powerful.

The technology of the Antek civilization is definitely not as good as that of the new human civilization, but the planet's innate resistance to strikes is so strong that it far exceeds that of ordinary spaceships, including the "Future". With this battle star, the advantage of war has returned to the hands of the Antek civilization.

The best tactic now is to pull the battle line farther away. If it is ten light seconds or more, a battle star with weak mobility will basically not be a threat. However, these vanguard troops had a series of "tasks" to do, and had to brave the planet's firepower to fight in close combat.

As a result, the loss rate greatly exceeds that of the other party.

"Future, come closer... and get on top!" In just a moment, Yu Yifeng had a lot of sweat on his forehead and made this risky decision.

"Other flagships, continue to shoot at medium and long range!"

The Future has super high mobility, coupled with the strongest firepower, and a certain ability to withstand beatings. In such a weak situation, it would be a waste to hide behind and shoot from a long distance.

At this time, Yu Yifeng suddenly received a message, and he felt happy.

"...The goods have been delivered!"

"Retreat, let the vanguard retreat first!" He immediately gave the order.

The situation developed very delicately, from being aggressive at the beginning to fighting and retreating later.

The spaceships of the new human civilization are greatly shrinking their front lines, trying to lure the opponent out to fight.

But it was obvious that, except for some artificial intelligence that was slow to accept orders in time, the opponent's large forces were not fooled.

In fact, this seemingly menacing "Decisive Battle", even running up to fight with the planetary ship hand-to-hand, also caused a certain amount of losses. It was not a major tactical mistake, but several other reasons...

First, to test the true combat effectiveness of the metal planet; second, to cover... some key small drones!

These drones are very small, the smallest being only about the size of a fist. It's no different from a larger electromagnetic gun shell.

But what is placed inside is a syringe-sized culture fluid... which is the so-called genetic virus!

Microorganisms like viruses are almost everywhere for humans. There are a large number of viruses in everyone's body. Some of these viruses are harmful, some are beneficial, and they are in a symbiotic state with the human body.

The same is true for the Antec civilization, which has microorganisms similar to viruses.

Therefore, based on some previously obtained praying mantis corpses as a reference, scientists carefully developed a genetic virus targeting praying mantises.

The protein biomarkers of this batch of genetic viruses were carefully concealed and extracted from certain viruses inside the mantis. In other words, they are very deceptive. If a non-specific examination is performed, they will only be regarded as things naturally existing in the body.

This genetic virus is very contagious and has an incubation period of about a week. During this period, there are not many symptoms and they will only infect each other. But when the time is up, the whole body will become hot and fall into a coma, with a small probability of death.

However, in the short term, the fatality rate is not too high.

This "coma" setting does not mean that the new human biologists do not have enough ability to increase the mortality rate. But because... military experts believe that a comatose individual will be a greater drag than dying directly.

When an injury occurs, a large amount of social resources are needed to take care of and treat it. This is a huge drag on a wartime civilization.

Just like some drivers on earth, when a car accident occurs, they would rather crush someone to death than paralyze them. Because the social burden caused by paralysis is far heavier than being directly killed. Well, this seems to involve moral issues, but for civilized war, where does the morality come from...

A large number of sick individuals even brought conditions for political negotiations!

Although I don’t know what the ideology and social system of the Antek civilization are...but if I ask myself, if more than half of the individuals in the new human civilization suffer from some kind of unbreakable disease, Yu Yifeng really has to consider it. Whether to surrender, etc., if it is indeed possible to surrender.

"Now the virus has been passed to the hands of the Lizard executives. We just need to maintain the pressure of war. Whether it succeeds or not, whether they can grasp it or not, depends on themselves."

Under the cover of the Future, the leading assault troops gradually withdrew and wandered at the limit of the metal planet's range.

The main force of the opponent's spaceship is also very cautious and does not dare to follow up rashly...

The battlefield became more stalemate, with each other shooting at each other from a distance, and the rate of spacecraft losses also slowed down.
