How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 173: Annihilation bombing

   "Commander, the enemy's firepower is increasing!"

   "If we continue to advance the front, we will no longer be able to guarantee that our fleet will have zero casualties as it is now!"

   Bokauer’s fingertips slide on the three-dimensional sand table, and the partial area of ​​the planet’s three-dimensional projection is enlarged, and the frontline situation is more intuitively displayed in his field of vision, fine enough to capture every high-speed projectile that shuttles through the frontline battlefield.

Under the control of Huogu’s will, the output of firepower on the planet’s surface increased, but this still failed to reverse the battlefield situation between Huogu’s side and the fourth fleet of aliens. Those spare projectiles were well received by the frontline. The frigate group intercepted, while the surface was still passively beaten.

   Bokall turned the projection of the planet a few times, and looked at the crater area colonized by the imperial colony.

   "This distance..."

After looking at it for a while, Bocaul manually entered the information on the console, exported the parameters of the mothership’s weapons, and then glanced at the ball next to the armrest of his captain’s seat. There was nothing in the ball, only one had ups and downs. Corrugated lines.

   "Tell me, our current killing effect at this distance, the actual scope of action, assumes that the shock wave is not considered."

   will respond the next moment it is equipped with AI.

   [5.0×10^23 Joules, diameter is about 180 kilometers]

   Bocaul nodded slightly, and thoughtfully retracted his gaze to the stereoscopic projection, while giving instructions to the AI.

   "Import the result parameters into the model, I want to see."

  【Importing...】

Soon, the projection of the planet in front of Bocaul changed. Numerous dense rings appeared on the surface of the planet, like ripples splashed by raindrops on the surface of the water. In just a few minutes, the ring group The planet's surface was completely covered, and at the same time, Bocaul also showed a satisfied look.

   Bocaul turned his head and gave orders to the staff.

   "The mission fleet, mothership-class main gun preparation, adopts annihilation bombing mode."

   "Comply..."

   "Commander, commander, did you just say annihilate bombing?!"

   The staff with a frozen expression couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his hearing organs. Otherwise, how could he have heard the message of ‘annihilation bombing’ contained in the order?

As early as one hundred and fifty years ago, a kind of military theoretical thought was born in alien civilization. This theoretical thought was based on the “total eradication of the enemy” and relied on powerful firepower to cover the entire planet’s surface, allowing every inch of land to be covered. Suffered from saturation bombing by the orbital fleet.

   As for how long will this bombardment last?

   It depends on when the enemy on the surface will die.

   However, this kind of military thinking is not very acceptable to the high-level aspects of the imperial strategy of the proponent.

It's not out of sympathy or other meaningless things. The main reason is that this method of warfare is very uneconomical. The willingness to accept surrender is at least post-war prisoners. Once this kind of war thinking is used, there will be nothing left after the war is over. Up.

   Moreover, there can be no enemies in every corner of a planet, which means that a lot of firepower will be wasted to uninhabited areas.

In addition, the empire has such a powerful weapon as the mothership class. Just staying in low-Earth orbit without a bullet is enough to make any rebellious fearful. You must know that reality is not a movie, and not all motherships are like American movies. In that way, there is a deadly key that can be shot into the soul.

   It was originally impossible to give birth to a war mentality like ‘annihilation bombing’, at least before the empire and alien civilization came into contact.

But at that time, the cultural trend of'alien invasion' prevailed in the alien civilization. Various alien invasion movies were popular. The horror rendering was even more so than the movies made by humans, and it occupied almost all cultural circles. , The popular will, so this kind of war thinking also came into being.

As a war mindset that was thrown into the trash can by the imperial strategic executives as soon as it was proposed, as a simple introduction on the pages of a purely military book that occupies an inexhaustible space, it was proposed again after a lapse of one hundred and fifty years. When it was put into use under military order, it made sense that the staff officer would have that kind of reaction.

   "Do you want to resist?"

Seeing his hesitating Bocall, his eyes were cold. Although his tone was still very calm, the staff officer who was familiar with Bocall knew clearly that his boss had been murderous, and this question was giving him his last life. Opportunity, if the answer is not good enough, it is a dead end.

   The staff gritted his teeth and explained his thoughts truthfully.

   "There are hundreds of millions of empire's citizens on the planet. Once annihilation bombing is carried out, they will..."

"They will be fine. The volcanic cone structure surrounding the colony can well protect them from being affected. Just pay attention to avoiding it. The AI ​​has explained this to me just now. If there is any accident, I will bear it. I obey orders."

   The staff officer was roughly interrupted by Bocaul before he could finish speaking, but he withdrew his gaze from the staff officer, and at the same time, it also meant that the murderous intention to enforce the military law was put away.

Although the staff still thinks this is too risky, he is not the decision maker. As the commander of the Fourth Fleet, Bocaul personally explained to him that he had made a concession for the sake of the people of the empire. It's very clear.

"……Yes."

Just like the staff, those crew members who were in charge of the attack part of the mothership, after knowing that the order was'annihilation bombing', the immediate reaction was that there was a problem with their auditory senses~lightnovelpub.net~ After repeated confirmations several times I'm sure I heard it right.

   In this way, without Huogu's knowledge, the fourth fleet of aliens began to prepare for the second wave of strikes.

   has always been the mothership-class warship behind the fourth fleet and began to change its original formation, surrounding the equator of the planet in a circular horizontal direction. Other types of warships have changed with the change of the mothership class.

There were no gorgeous scenes, but at an agreed time point, all the warships carrying the "Boom", including the mothership class, poured all their bombs to the surface, the unique cylindrical shape of those aliens. The missiles rushed toward the surface of the planet in dense numbers like rain.

   Huogu certainly caught these and made targeted interceptions, but unfortunately couldn't stop them.

The popping sound projected by other types of warships is nothing, but the mothership class is different. The super giant missile uses the same kind of armor as the warship, and the interceptor is turned into powder when it comes into contact with the giant missile. Unless you use high-energy rays like lasers for interception.

These "raindrops" quickly reached the surface, and the indescribable magnificent scene appeared in the eyes of every Fourth Fleet ship operator. The area of ​​the circle the size of rice grains gradually expanded slowly, and then reached the level of biscuit, hundreds of millions of dollars. The circle appeared on the surface.

   After a short while, Ming changed into a new appearance, with a red and dark complexion. The ground was brighter than the sky. On the night side facing the sun, looking up at the sky from the ground, I couldn't see even a trace of starlight.

   Of course, the rhizomes on the ground were swept away, and so were the underground rhizomes near the ground.

  Aliens who can be the instigators, their most intuitive feeling is not the pleasure of destroying the enemy, but the cold like an ice cellar. This cold is called ‘fear’.
