Chapter 597 Transmitting Genetic Viruses

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 formations 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 frontal 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 spacecraft of the new human civilization is shrinking the battle line significantly, trying to lure the other side out to fight.

However, it is obvious that except for some artificial intelligences that did not receive orders in time, the other side's large forces did not fall for it.

In fact, this seemingly fierce "decisive battle" even ran up to fight hand-to-hand with the planetary spacecraft, and caused certain losses. It was not a major tactical mistake, but there were 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 is only the size of a fist. It is no different from a larger electromagnetic artillery shell.

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

Viruses, as microorganisms, 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 Antech civilization, which has microorganisms similar to viruses.

Therefore, based on some previously obtained mantis corpses as references, scientists carefully developed a genetic virus for mantises.

The protein biomarkers of this batch of genetic viruses are carefully disguised and extracted from certain viruses inside the mantis. In other words, they are very confusing. If you conduct non-targeted inspections, you will only treat them as something that exists naturally in the body.

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

However, in the short term, the mortality 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. It is because... military experts believe that comatose individuals are more burdensome than direct death.

When a wounded person appears, a large amount of social resources are needed to care for and treat him, which is a huge burden 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 direct death. Well, this seems to involve moral issues, but for a war of civilizations, where does morality come from...

A large number of sick individuals even brought political negotiation conditions!

Although I don't know what the ideology and social system of the Antai civilization are like...But, ask yourself, 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 whether to surrender, etc., if it is indeed possible to surrender.

"Now the virus has been passed to the hands of the lizard leaders. We just need to maintain the pressure of the war. Whether it succeeds or not, whether we can grasp it, can only depend on themselves."

Under the cover of the Future, the vanguard assault force gradually withdrew and wandered at the range limit of the metal planet.

The main force of the opponent's spacecraft was also very cautious and did not dare to follow up rashly...

The battlefield became more stalemate, and they fired at each other from a distance, and the speed of spacecraft loss also slowed down.
