Fishing Druid in Another World
Chapter 301 Preparation
The cult's Robo soon entered a somewhat unremarkable preparation phase.
The Victory Oath was severely damaged, with a large warped hull and a bent keel. Even with equipment, it could not be corrected on the ground.
It requires a vacuum and zero gravity state to allow the alloy that constitutes the keel to maintain uniform material density during the appropriate semi-melting correction process.
This is very important, after all, hemp ropes always break at the tightest point, and weak points are prone to repeated problems under pressure.
The Victory Oath cannot be repaired in the short term.
The order given by the cult's Robo is to deploy the arsenal ship as a base vehicle.
Specifically, it includes transporting all military stations, arsenals, drone production lines, etc. from the ship, and then establishing a military base with production and maintenance functions nearby.
Some of the staff, consultants, experts, etc. on board were very angry about this.
He said, "Look at this wilderness. There are no roads, no resources, no manpower, and no equipment. It's not suitable to set up a base here! We should adapt to local conditions and choose a nearby colony. Although we have to travel, it will be quick later."
Robo's only response to this was: "Get lost!" He was stubborn and self-righteous.
Of course, he expressed his attitude through Lieutenant General Pine Norton.
He didn't explain to these people, but assigned them clerical work.
Show off your professional knowledge that you think you are proud of and see what is there.
This job seems very strange, especially in the current situation.
Some people even stubbornly retorted: "If you just want to sort out professional knowledge, why not ask the shipboard AI of the Victory Oath?"
However, Robo's attitude was very clear: "I question your professional ability, so this assessment is held, so don't do those things that are rote, you must have unique insights, this is the real stuff. Before you prove your ability, it's useless to think about other things. If you don't perform well, you will not only be imprisoned and not allowed to go out, but also have no food to eat."
These people never thought that Vice Admiral Norton would do such a thing.
It's a pity that when the army goes out, the commander is the most important. Even if he commits a crime of beheading, he must return to the Federation first.
Otherwise, even if reinforcements arrive in time, in order to stabilize the defeated army, Norton's position will not be withdrawn in a hurry.
And soon after, the conspiracy theory spread among this group of staff advisers.
Norton lost the battle, and someone continued to take the blame. Who is it?
Perhaps it can be said that: "It is these staff officers and consultants who misled me. They are not professional at all. They are all idiots. Don't believe it? Take a look at their professional answers!" Well, Robo is actually too lazy to listen to these people's nonsense. There is also an interesting little discovery. The life test found that the potential of extraordinary biochemical transformation of these lazy and ignorant mental workers is actually below the horizontal line. In other words, Robo will not choose these people for the 6,000 puppets he planned, and these people who talk are not good at practical work, and their military ranks are generally not low. In order to avoid them becoming "small trumpets" that are more than enough to cause trouble, they can simply find something to do for them. As for extraordinary biochemical transformation, in fact, not all of them are transformed into war pigs. The ratio of engineers is higher, about 3:2. These engineers look taller than war pigs, just like the Hulk, with a height of more than three meters and a weight of more than 800 pounds. They have dense bones and knotty muscles, but they are not bulky at all, but very agile. But in detail, their muscle structure and even cell structure are very different from those of war pigs.
They were born for engineering, and the proportions of their hands and feet are extraordinary. When they are naked, it can be clearly seen that their muscle groups are different from those of ordinary people.
In fact, not only that, but even the shape of their bones and internal organs are quite different from those of ordinary people.
This is because they are modified based on the human blueprint, otherwise they will definitely be more inhuman.
These human-shaped excavators and cranes are not very good at fighting, and they are the best laborers. They dismantle tanks and planes with their bare hands. A group of people dismantled the outer shell of the starship while shouting slogans.
You know, even if it is cut, the thickness and quality of the starship outer shell are the type that is best lifted off by a gantry crane and then transported by a special vehicle with a crawler chassis.
As a result, a group of people carried it away like ants carrying things, which shows how powerful they are.
A group of judges covered their faces when they saw it.
Because since they compromised with Robo, the first thing they have to bear is to take the blame for everything unreasonable. One of them is the special magic effect blessed by the judge, including this strongman.
Moreover, as the technical system of the cult Robo unfolds, it presents far more than strongman transportation. There are also various types of production and manufacturing.
For example, the biological recycling furnace that replaces the furnace to a certain extent looks like a huge sea cucumber, eating here and pulling there. It eats mud and metal, and pulls oily plastic materials like plasticine.
After this material is shaped, it is burned with fire, and the oil will continue to seep out, fueling the fire. When the fire is extinguished, a special ceramic alloy will be obtained.
Therefore, the engineering puppets took this material and played with mud everywhere. A military camp soon rose from the ground. The appearance was very rustic, as if the facilities built without even unified weights and measures were barely horizontal and vertical, and the details could not be seen. It was too rough and primitive.
But it was completely fine to use, extremely sturdy, and the magic performance was good. A typical 1+1>2.
While large-scale construction and production were underway, remnants began to gather towards the forced landing point of the Victory Oath.
The Second Mixed Fleet of the Federation had previously suffered a mid-crossing attack by the Wood Elves.
First, they asked for help. The Governor of Harvest Star said that the Wood Elves fleet suddenly appeared and forcefully broke through the planetary defense circle.
Given the characteristics of the Wood Elves, "planting a grain of millet in spring and harvesting ten thousand seeds in autumn", and the self-defense ability of Harvest Star as an agricultural planet, once the planet is contaminated by the Wood Elves, it is absolutely impossible to eliminate the Wood Elves by itself, but will only become stronger and stronger as it fights more and more.
Therefore, the Governor immediately issued a gathering order, abandoning various planting sites, gathering in large towns, defending together, and waiting for rescue.
This approach is impeccable.
Even if there is a complaint, it is to complain about the star zone defense cruise system that was built at a high price. Why did the Wood Elves fleet break through to the interior, and only noticed it when it was ridden in the face.
Fortunately, this is an agricultural planet that has been colonized for less than a hundred years. If it were a hub-level planet, a global biochemical crisis would occur within 24 hours, and the losses would be immeasurable.
So the Federation still attaches great importance to this crisis.
In order to speed up, the second mixed fleet was temporarily formed.
This is not a regular fleet, but a patchwork.
The reason why Lieutenant General Pine Norton can become the commander of the fleet is not because of his outstanding ability, but because his family is well-connected in the circle of powerful people in the Federation.
Pine's grandfather is quite powerful. Although he has passed away, there are many disciples promoted by him in the army, and quite a few of them are in important positions.
Therefore, relying on Norton's signboard, this temporary patchwork force can be better integrated.
But for the same reason, Norton's control over the fleet is relatively poor.
For example, Major General Wolak, this young and vigorous faction, is a fighting hero who has fought all the way up.
However, he thought that the cruiser fleet he led failed to defend against the wood elves fleet, allowing them to take advantage of the loophole and destroy Harvest Star, and he was burdened with a heavy burden.
He rushed here in a hurry, but almost lost his autonomy and could only obey orders in front of Pine Norton's tent.
Norton had no experience in commanding a large fleet, and it was put together temporarily, so in Wolack's view, he was not good at anything, inefficient, slow and dragging.
He knew very well that even if he could make meritorious contributions, if the loss of Harvest Star was too great, his career would most likely end here, and he would either spend the rest of his life in hardship or be granted a pardon.
Therefore, he had no way to respond steadily, and he asked for help several times and explained the pros and cons. The core was to save people like putting out a fire.
The specific meaning was that I would be the vanguard and go down first, even if I helped the local defense army defend, and when the large fleet arrived, I would quickly connect and transport the refugees out, and then I could calmly deal with the wood elves on Harvest Star.
Although Pine Norton lacked experience in commanding a large fleet, he was not stupid and had staff around him to give him advice.
He asked Volak: "The Bottomless Clan did not rely on ultra-long-distance transmission to invade Harvest Star. They have fleets. The planetary defense circle of Harvest Star also proved this.
Your fleet is close, but have you seen this Bottomless fleet? You sent people down, and the Bottomless Fleet suddenly appeared to attack you, what would you do?"
This is indeed a very realistic problem.
Although Volak obeyed Norton's order not to act rashly, he finally played some workarounds.
That is to send the Space Marines in the fleet down.
The Space Marines are like the Marines, an indispensable part of the fleet.
But for fleets like Volak that cruise in star regions, the proportion of Marines will not be too high.
And once people are sent, even if one leg is in deep trouble.
The personnel concentration order of the Governor of Harvest Star was not well executed.
Some people were stubborn and refused to give up the homes they had worked so hard to build, while others showed the martial spirit and mysterious self-confidence of pioneers, saying that they were capable of self-defense.
As a result, when the wood elves launched an invasion, they found that the wood elves used the geographical advantages more skillfully than the local snakes, and harassed them constantly.
But at this time, if they wanted to withdraw from the big town, it would be a typical long way and many obstacles.
After Wolak's marines entered the Harvest Star, they basically played the role of guards, escorts, and escorts. The whole planet was so big, wouldn't it be a waste of people if they just sprinkled water?
So, Wolak drew out a part of the crew, armed them, and formed a temporary defense force to replace the defense force of the Harvest Star to guard the town, and let the other side do the work of guards and escorts.
In order to better complete the task, Wolak also let some ships enter the low orbit of the planet for orbital deterrence and support.
It was actually very dangerous at this time. The main force of the second mixed fleet had not arrived yet, and Volak's fleet was not only split. If the fleet of the wood elves rushed out at this time, Volak's fleet would basically be slaughtered.
But the fleet of the wood elves did not appear.
Instead, the wood elves who invaded the Harvest Planet performed exceptionally well, giving people the feeling that their military growth entered the fast lane and was growing exponentially.
The planetary defense army and Volak's fleet were overwhelmed and lost sight of one thing while focusing on another.
As soon as Norton's fleet arrived, Volak urged frantically: "Hurry up! Come and help, just a little bit..." It was almost this kind of deeply trapped and overwhelmed state.
In fact, on the way to the main force of the fleet, he had already urged more than ten times a day.
After quickly going through the process, Norton first sent the Marines to stabilize the situation, and at the request of Volak, strengthened the orbital deterrence and support capabilities.
The next step is to build a refugee evacuation channel. After all, even if it is mechanized farming, this huge planet has been colonized for nearly a hundred years, and the population is also millions. With so many people evacuating, the process must be straightened out, otherwise it is easy to cause a serious accident.
Not long after the evacuation began, the wood elves suddenly exerted their full strength. Not only did the disappeared fleet suddenly appear, but also pulled out the planetary cannon.
The planetary cannon is like a train gun, which is super heavy, and its shells can directly hit the atmosphere.
As soon as this thing appeared, everyone understood that this Harvest Planet was not like what the Federation thought, a habitable green planet without the birth of intelligent life.
The wood elves reproduced here before humans, and perhaps gave up for some reason later, but the family assets left behind during reproduction are still there.
Otherwise, with the number and technical strength of the invading wood elves, it is impossible to create such heavy weapons in such a short time, and in such a large number.
This is the attack while the enemy is halfway across the river.
About one-third of the refugees have been transported up, and a considerable number of ships are in the low orbit of the planet. It takes a long time to get rid of the planet's gravity. A large number of personnel are assisting in the rescue on the ground, and the number of starships that can really fight quickly in space is limited...
Later, Robo became a participant and witness.
"There is a traitor! There is a traitor among us, otherwise the Victory Oath would not have been shot down by the first wave of concentrated fire!"
Robo used Pine Norton to spread such conspiracy remarks to the newly arrived fleet members.
Whether there is a traitor or not is actually not important to him at all.
All he wants is a reasonable reason to help the later comers check their bodies.
After the examination, there really is a traitor, but it is not from the wood elves, but from the cult.
After comprehensive consideration, the later comers tacitly accepted Robo's tossing.
Three major reasons.
First, Vice Admiral Norton performed well after the fall.
Ignoring the funny first sentence, which clearly implies "I am the boss, come and save me", the following speeches were all very good.
One was: "The Victory Oath is about to make an emergency landing. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you and never give up."
Another was: "I urgently appoint Volak as the deputy commander of the fleet and the Glory (Volak's flagship) as the new fleet flagship.
I order that a thirty-minute gathering time be set for each ship to calculate. Those that can approach the new flagship will approach the new flagship, and those that can approach the emergency landing point where I am will approach me. The rest will merge with various towns or move forward on their own.
Our new goal is to try our best to preserve our living strength and hold on to wait for help.
Harvest Star belongs to the Federation Star Zone. Our support will come faster, and the final victory will eventually belong to us."
Regardless of past grudges, Volak, who has made mistakes again and again but still has the most practical experience, was appointed as the new fleet commander. In this way, forces can be quickly assembled and orderly out of the war zone.
In this way, as long as this half-crippled fleet is there, the fleet of the wood elves will not dare to play orbital bombing recklessly to support the wood elves on the ground.
Vice Admiral Norton's words finally hit the point and were relatively timely, which immediately gave the officers and soldiers a direction.
The second reason why the gathered officers were willing to pay and let Vice Admiral Norton toss was that the new base construction had achieved remarkable results.
Less than three hours after the forced landing, the framework of the base had been basically constructed, the bunkers and laser towers had been erected, and the high walls were also rapidly generated.
Inside, the barracks had been built in an orderly manner. It was estimated that when the sun set, there would be no problem at all for tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to sleep in the barracks instead of on the floor.
The barracks were built so quickly, and the more urgent field hospitals were naturally not ambiguous.
The existence of this facility made many people feel relieved. After all, with the level of medical technology in the Federation, as long as it was regular, most of the wounded who did not die on the spot could be rescued.
The last thing that made the gathered officers recognize Norton was that Norton did not shrink blindly, but made full use of the enemy-seeking function of the Victory Oath.
Because of its slightly strange posture of forced landing, it formed a mountain that rose more than 2,000 meters from the ground, like a huge sharp blade growing diagonally from the ground.
If this height is used, the radar exploration function will be very wide, so that the position of the personnel with communication capabilities within a radius of hundreds of kilometers can be locked and broadcast.
Then, rescue teams set out to pick up the fallen survivors within this range.
In addition, drones were deployed to a wider range to deliver information and boost morale.
After all, people live for hope, and so do soldiers. The more difficult the situation is, the more encouragement is needed. Even a few words that can confirm existence can give people the courage to survive.
It can be said that Lieutenant General Norton has done his best to do what he can.
Therefore, the officers are willing to obey his orders as long as they are not too excessive.
Moreover, they were inevitably suspicious of this encounter. The action of the wood elves was so well timed that it seemed as if there was a spy who tipped off the enemy.
In fact, what Robo did was more than what it seemed.
For example, those drones were not just there to show concern and send blessings, they also spread spores.
Although the cult Robo is taking the elite route, it does not mean that he will give up the long board of geometric value-added on the biochemical avenue.
Spores will devour all organic matter on the surface of the harvest planet to form a fungal blanket.
This fungal blanket is different from the fungal blanket of the Zerg in StarCraft.
First of all, the nature is not so extreme. The Zerg fungal blanket is responsible for transporting supplementary supplies to the swarm, and it is also the highway of the swarm.
Robo's spore fungal blanket is more like an extraordinary deluxe version of water hyacinth.
Many people know that water hyacinth is a freshwater plant that grows in clusters and blooms beautifully, but it is neither edible nor has much economic value. The leaves are like a blanket that is opaque, which will kill other aquatic plants in the underwater area and fish cannot survive.
The spore fungal blanket of the cult Robo is the same, except that it can survive in any terrain, including saline-alkali, desert, lava, bare rock, and even radiation zone.
Where it is, herbaceous plants, small shrubs, etc. cannot survive. Trees are not affected much, but it is like a dead end. It is almost impossible to give birth to new trees.
However, Robb still considered the problem of ecological extinction, so he restricted the design of spores.
Like this time, the main thing is to lay a spore blanket highway, rather than spreading it wantonly.
This kind of high speed is really high speed. The spore blanket can level and harden the land, crush the rocks, and generate the soil environment needed for its own growth.
And it has a developed root system, which will form nodules like sweet potatoes, and at the same time pull up a three-dimensional network underground, and the root system is very deep.
Therefore, it is not afraid of burning, or even digging. Only genetic weapons specifically targeting organisms can deal with it, provided that the technical level is high enough.
If it is forced, even if the productivity of interstellar colonization level will be so high that it will vomit blood, and it may not be cleared up.
Of course, if there is a cyclone torpedo in Warhammer 40K, it can still achieve the goal. After all, spore blankets still rely on the natural environment.
Planets without life can also generate blankets, but that is another set, which is different from those used by planets with life.
With the spore blanket covering the base and the surrounding area, there is basically no possibility of being attacked by the enemy's ground forces.
However, the spirits of the cult still strictly arranged matters such as light and dark sentries, night patrols, etc.
The rest of the people rested fully in the barracks.
Today was a bit difficult for most people, and they consumed a lot of energy and physical strength. A good sleep would help them recover.
For this reason, hypnotic gas was specially released.
The Inquisitors were not included. They received preferential treatment from Robo, and even had a special frigate, the Rock, as an exclusive mobile facility for the Inquisitors. Others were not allowed to enter without the permission of the Inquisitors.
However, behind this seemingly preferential treatment, there was actually an operation of house arrest.
Even the Inquisitors themselves acquiesced.
The reason was simple. Robo was sure that there were no spies among the ordinary officers and soldiers, and they had no ability to be spies. Only the Inquisitors did not go through the security check process.
The representatives of the Inquisitors participated in this security check process, and it can even be said that they supervised the whole process.
After all, the judges lacked sufficient faith in Robo.
Robo believed everything he received without any words, but the judges could not do that.
In this context, the artificial superhuman who had taken over the spirit performed hypnosis based on psychic energy, and then screened all non-superhuman personnel by questioning and answering.
After inspection and identification, the judges were convinced that there was nothing wrong with this security inspection mechanism.
The reason why it was not used on the judges was not only to recognize their transcendent status in disguise, but also because as superhumans, this relatively low-end security inspection process was completely possible to be fooled.
Robo did not have enough manpower and energy to provide this kind of security inspection service for the judges for the time being.
Therefore, whether it was the judges on the Victory Oath or other judges from other ships or surviving teams, they all gathered together and were treated differently, and they really kept their distance.
Robo was not afraid of any tricks that the cult could come up with. At the same time, he did not expect them to quickly complete the internal cleansing and pull out the possible internal tricks.
At this stage, Robo's only request to them is not to cause trouble.
If you are really bored, just watch my show.
Even at night, the war pigs who just came out of the military station, completed the strengthening and arming, went out to rescue under the leadership of the spirit captain.
Thirty war pigs, with a spirit captain and a dedicated adjutant.
The dedicated adjutant was created by Robo himself, and is the guard of the spirit and also a tool kit. This shows that Robo of the cult attaches great importance to the spirit.
After all, there are only 300 of them, and each one is a backbone. In the future, they will be bishops who sit in one place or take charge of one thing.
32 people, almost a platoon, this is the size of the rescue team, rescuing the surviving humans in the explored area.
After gathering, Robo plans to use these remnants as fillers to build this place into a semi-permanent fortress city.
In his words to the Inquisitors: "Based on the current situation, I have reason to believe that all human settlements on this planet have been infiltrated by wood spirits to varying degrees. The actual situation is even worse than I expected.
Under such circumstances, I would certainly prefer to build a trustworthy and reliable military control base myself. This is much simpler than taking care of a large number of people, as well as local governments, local forces and other institutional personnel.
I think we need this kind of simplicity and efficiency now.
Then we can use it as a fulcrum to unite the forces that can be united, otherwise it is very likely that the wood spirit will bloom from within.
If the team collapses again, it will really become an unorganized mob and be slaughtered at will. "
This, the judges also went in.
The big defeat not only damaged morale, but also confidence and trust.
If there is internal chaos and scattering again, the cohesion of the army will be almost gone. Even if there are still groups, they will be small groups of familiar people.
Such a group, facing the organized and organized encirclement of the wood elves, will not be much better than the vitality society facing the regular army.
Not only the judges were convinced, but also the commanders of the surviving teams that gathered.
Some were even just non-commissioned officers, not even officers.
But under the difficult situation of leaving the country, they showed organizational and leadership abilities beyond ordinary people. Robo did not treat them unfairly, and promoted them all as exceptions, giving them a stage to display their talents.
It can be said that this time when the remnants were gathered, the reorganization work has been taken care of. The work was done.
Robo did not stop when he saw the good, and let the spirits take over.
Instead, he left a lot of talents with excellent business capabilities for the Second Mixed Fleet of the Federation.
This made the team quickly get out of the frustration and panic of defeat, regain confidence, and become orderly. Even the degree of organization was stronger than before the war.
The Federation had the cult Robo in charge and cheating, so it recovered well, but the wood elves were not so lucky.
If it was barely expected that Wolak, who knew shame and then courage, led about half of the fleet of the Second Mixed Fleet to successfully complete the tactical transition, then Vice Admiral Norton actually completed a very powerful assembly of the remnants in a very short time, which was definitely unexpected bad news.
The cooked duck actually earned a few points to fly away, adding a lot of variables. This feeling can be It was terrible.
However, it has been proven that the hastily assembled small-scale combat force could not even conduct effective combat force reconnaissance on this duck that refused to die obediently.
The wood elves could only suppress their anxiety and bad premonitions, first complete multiple projects with one bird in hand, and then try to concentrate their energy and manpower to fight with this duck.
Unfortunately, the cult Robo was far wilder than they expected, and was not satisfied with operating behind closed doors from the beginning.
While rescuing the survivors in the area, the preparations for the attack had already begun.
In just one night, the spore carpet spread a total mileage of more than 20,000 kilometers.
It can be said that wherever the drone spread the spores, a spore carpet avenue would be formed overnight.
The wood elves also noticed it and took it seriously.
Their biological field The technical level is not low, and they are also more sensitive to similar technologies. They soon discovered the threat of spore mats.
But they want to crack it, but they are not capable of it. Relevant experiments have been carried out intensively, and the feedback information obtained so far is not optimistic.
After all, Harvest Star is a battlefield, and the wood elves do not have a top laboratory here to conduct in-depth research on spore mats.
And with the existing technology, there is really nothing we can do about the spore mats. At least the investment and return are far from proportional. For the time being, we can only tolerate it and let it go.
The search and rescue team sent by Robo has made full use of the spore mats.
The root nodules are dug out, and food and clean water sources are solved. It tastes a bit like white radish, fresh, sweet, slightly spicy, full of water, and can also satisfy hunger.
However, ordinary people have to supplement it with another kind of powder, otherwise...
