Starring City, gravity-free pier.
The handover ceremony of the special envoy-class starship was underway. Jiang Chen, who was talking to Kerwin, looked gradually solemn between his eyebrows.
…The Marines we sent to the ruins were attacked by unknown Martian creatures…not devil bugs.Three Marines on our side died and two soldiers and a researcher were seriously injured.After taking a deep breath, Kelwin sent a video file to Jiang Chen's watch, which is the battle video.
Transmission is complete.
After looking behind him and confirming that there was no one else nearby, Jiang Chen clicked on the play button.
In the picture, the Star Ring Marines exchanged fierce fire with the Martian creatures that suddenly appeared.
A Marine soldier held the researcher back while fighting back against the alien with a Gauss rifle.
The Martian creature that was hit let out a shrill scream, green blood thundered from its body, dodging to the side and making way for the kind behind it, while spraying corrosive acid at the Marines with its hideous mouth.
Because the battle is fierce, the picture is shaking violently.
At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly pressed the pause button.
The picture was frozen on a hideous giant mouth.
Zoom in, then zoom in, Jiang Chen's gaze focused on the Martian creature.
Powerful feet, long tail with barbed, shuttle-shaped head, forward bent arms and barbed claws, look full of explosiveness and lethality.
The shells on the back are lined up one after another, just like the armor of heavy cavalry, etc.
In an instant, Jiang Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.
He always felt a bit familiar in this image.
Not in the end of the world, nor in the memory of Gaia civilization.
But in that memory from the 581g planet of Glitzer!
Yes, that's right!
The group of insects that fought with Brahma were carved from the same mold as these insects!
But why?
In an instant, Jiang Chen's brain was filled with countless question marks.
He didn't understand why he would meet his opponents that a harmonious civilization had faced on Mars.
If you think about it carefully, the attack methods of these devil insects are not as good as those attacking insects encountered by the colonists of the Brahma.
The only difference may be that the siege worm is larger than the devil worm, and the skin is dotted with a quartz shell...
A coincidence?
But this is too coincidental.
Jiang Chen's brows frowned and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that the boss had not spoken, Kelwin spoke tentatively.
Chairman?
Kerwin's voice reminded Jiang Chen that he was still on the phone.
After coming back to his senses, Jiang Chen reached out to turn off the holographic screen and immediately ordered Kerwin.
You are waiting at the command center of the 071 project department, and I will come over immediately.
yes.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen returned to the entrance of the dock to talk to Wu Changfeng and others, and left the venue in advance from the warship delivery ceremony and immediately rushed to the relevant command room of the 071 project of the Aerospace Command Center.
When he arrived, the command room was already busy.
Walking to Kelvin's side, Jiang Chen immediately asked.
How is the situation on the front line?
Very unoptimistic... We had a drill truck trapped underground, but luckily the personnel inside the drill truck had been withdrawn in time.The seriously injured researcher is still under rescue, and another seriously injured Marine soldier is temporarily out of danger.Kerwin said with an ugly face.
Jiang Chen nodded and asked.
What about the situation in the tunnel?
The tunnel is currently occupied by unknown Martian creatures, and we are building a database for this creature... By the way, what is the name of this monster?Do you have any comments?Kerrwin asked.
...It's called corrosive.
Corroder?This name is quite appropriate, they do spit out highly corrosive acids.After a pause, an incredible look appeared on Kelwin's face, and the most surprising thing was their eggs.Their eggs will explode when they are stimulated by external forces, and the equivalent of the explosion is not low at all...
What is the explosion equivalent?Jiang Chen asked.
Nearly half a ton of TNT, and it comes with corrosive damage, making it miraculously effective in a small space.Kelwin said.
Half a ton of TNT?
This number is not large, but as Kelwin said, there are miraculous effects in a small space.
More importantly, the target area is too close to the Gaia civilization ruins. In order to avoid damage to the ruins, let alone the big killer weapon such as drilling into the ground to clean the floor, you must even deal with the insect eggs carefully.
……
At the 071 Mine point, an alarm sounded throughout the desert.
Just as the battle broke out below the tunnel, everyone in the entire operation base started to move.
All non-combatants boarded the rover and stood on standby, and infantry chariots loaded with soldiers drove out of the garage and surrounded them in the direction of the tunnel.
When the infantry fighting chariots loaded with wounded men were withdrawn from the tunnel, four infantry fighting chariots formed an attack formation and drove down the tunnel.
At the middle of the tunnel, four infantry fighting vehicles launched a fierce exchange of fire with the attacking corroders.
However, what is amazing is that these acids can not only corrode the space suits and space exoskeletons, but also corrode the armor of infantry fighting vehicles.
A white mist rose from the surface of the armor, and the green acid liquid seemed to be boiling, rolling with foamy bubbles.
Fortunately, the composite armor of the infantry combat vehicles is still better in terms of corrosion resistance.
Especially after analyzing the blood vessels of the devil worms, future technicians from Renhe Industrial designed a corrosion-resistant gel.
This gel will quickly condense into high viscosity colloids in low-pressure environments. It can be used to repair damaged space suits and effectively isolate the corrosion of organic acids. To some extent, it greatly improves the survival rate of front-line troops when fighting against Martian species.
Unfortunately, this firefight ended in a tie.
The corrosives rushing deep into the tunnel were like tides. After rushing into the tunnel, the electromagnetic cannons on the top of the four infantry fighting vehicles never stopped.
High-speed mass bombs rage in the tunnels, and from time to time they are accompanied by one or two high-explosive rockets.
Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, the damaged concrete wall finally couldn't hold on, and the tunnel collapsed into several sections.
Fortunately, the infantry chariots were evacuated in time, and no tragedy was burying by people.
Damn, didn’t we build ultrasonic fences?
Looking at the infantry chariot withdrawing from the tunnel in the holographic screen, Hong Zewei's eyebrows were twisted in a ball.
Ultrasonic fences are only effective against devil bugs.Obviously, we drove away the devil bugs, and now another group of bugs has occupied the nests that once belonged to them.Standing behind Hong Zewei, a researcher coughed softly and said.
Can we study the ultrasonic frequency that drives away this...corroder?Hong Zewei asked immediately.
As the 071 project, which had been delayed for almost a year, is about to come to an end, but now a new variable suddenly appears, how can he not be in a hurry?
What worries him the most is that if these corrosives, like the devil worms, will attack the Martian colonies...
In theory, it is OK, but this requires us to understand their body structure to a certain extent.The researcher shrugged. It required a large number of specimens, and it would be better to have a few more insect eggs...
How many more insect eggs?
What do you think that is?
Can you refill a cup of coffee at will?
Hong Zewei smiled bitterly in his heart and continued to look at the colony outside the window.
The red desert has been replaced by alloy floors, and the newly built steel plant is spitting white mist, and the emerald green can be seen through the graphene dome of the farm... Everything in the colony is thriving, and they cannot bear to start over again.
If these corrosives intend to win by number, it will definitely be a disaster for the almost unguarded colonies on the surface.
After clenching his fist, he let go. Hong Zewei reached out and tapped on the holographic screen twice, and issued an order to the colonial engineering team.
All the ongoing projects stopped, and all the engineering teams immediately joined the wall construction and surrounded our colony with concrete walls!
