Chapter 1,227 Taking Root
This was once a military node set up by the Merova people in a desolate area. It is framed by a large star system and consists of a major military planet, a large number of space entities, and a large number of military facilities within two light years of the star system. Entire military nodes are located on the fringes of this remote galaxy. But now - it is just a clean battlefield. The fortresses and starports that once occupied the space have turned into cooled metal slag and dissipated clouds. A medium-sized force of Merova people stationed here Most of the large fleet was bombed and sunk around the star port before they had time to leave the port. Now the scattered large pieces of debris have been towed away by auxiliary ships in the morning and used to make some cheap and cost-effective asteroid belt framework facilities. I am going to build another two in the asteroid belt on the edge of this star system. Production base, used to supplement the insufficient production capacity of low-level military units.
The Imperial Admiral and the escort fleet are stationary above the original central planet of this military node galaxy. This is the high-altitude orbit of the planet. The debris near the planet's gravity circle is being accelerated and guided to fall by the gravitational wave device, so it can be seen from this position. There were dots of fire on the surface of the planet below, which were debris fragments in space that were falling into the hot atmosphere. I thought there must be an extremely spectacular meteor shower happening there. In fact, Qian Qian has already gone down: she claimed that she was going to speed up the construction of the surface base, but I guess she was more likely to go see the meteor shower. According to the character of that magical girl, it is not strange for her to do anything on the battlefield.
Lin Xue and I stood on the platform at the top of the Imperial Admiral, looking at the dark planet in front of us. It was originally covered with steel and ocean. There is still a small amount of vegetation, but now it is unrecognizable. A dark red color enveloped the entire earth. The torrent formed by the melted steel mixed with the magma and rushed along the original river channel. As they cooled, they formed bright spots that spread, making the entire planet look like an ugly rotten orange. The giant molten wave caused by the explosion of eop-03 has just subsided, and everything on the surface of the planet has been reshaped like hot butter. There are still several particularly huge dents on the planet now, which were the planet's original oceans - now the edges of these dents are somewhat blurred, and the melted coastlines around them are collapsing: the molten crust was in the past In ten minutes, the properties of the liquid are more mainly reflected. A planet with mountains and cliffs formed over hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions of years relying on weathering, water flow, crustal movement and meteorite impacts were all written off in the past ten minutes. The surging liquid crust smooths everything out into ever-changing wavy lines, but soon it all cools, and the waves of magma form new mountains and canyons, followed by rapid crustal movement over the next few thousand years. Reshaping cliffs and abysses, the planet will be reborn in flames. And we are accelerating this process.
"It seems that the entire atmosphere has been replaced." Miss Prophet pointed at the unrecognizable planet below. "It is said that when eop-03 exploded, all the atmosphere was pumped into space. Now there is a new atmospheric environment."
"Not all, but about 80%," I nodded. "A large part of the current atmosphere is the result of eop-03 catalysis... But this issue is not important. Qianqian is accelerating the cooling of the planet and The solidification process. In another half an hour, the crustal stabilizer can be dropped, and then half of the mothership and general city can be dropped, and the base will be operational. "
"Half?" The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, "You want to build the other half of the base in space?"
"Three-dimensional architecture is the way to go," I shrugged. "Okay, actually it was Sandora who suggested this..."
Speaking of Sandora. Her Majesty the Queen is no longer here, she is now outside the world - in the void area. She wanted to unfold her glorious form in a place where no one could disturb her. After all, if the imperial power of Eurasia, which was filled with golden light and had astonishingly powerful mental fluctuations, was placed outside, it would be an easy target for fire. Sandora's glory form is fast. Even if she does not transform through a "special method" (that is, self-destruction in combat form), the speed at which she unfolds her glory form is several times that of other apostles, but even so, the process is estimated to be better. For a few days, that is to say, in the next few days, Sandora did not have time to direct the battle. But I think I can handle it... Well, I guess I'm not a professional yet, but we brought Sivis and a bunch of senior commanders who have fought countless battles, so there are no problems with military command. big.
According to the information they had previously obtained, the Merova people do not only control this world. They already rule more than a dozen universes, and this universe with the capital planet is just one of their territories. Therefore, the emperor also At the same time, raids were launched on other worlds. What we brought is a large army, which is enough to cause huge trauma to every Merova world at the same time in the event of a sudden attack. The main fleet has been divided into more than a dozen groups. When our royal fleet launched an attack, several other fleets also launched incursions into various universes at the same time. Now that the results have just been compiled, the situation is as smooth as here: paralysis and carelessness The grassroots Merova army was simply not alert enough. They had been invincible for so long that most of the garrisoned troops did not react when they were suddenly attacked. The battles in the remaining universes are ending or coming to an end one after another. Now some commanders of the squadron are establishing outposts in the areas they just occupied. We are going to start a war in every world of the Merova people, which will make Ba Ryan was frightened and exhausted, but we also considered the weakening of combat effectiveness and the impact of multi-front operations on the command system, so other commanders of the squadron did not station themselves on the spot after completing the raid mission, but were leading their The fleet moved forward to join the other squadrons.
We did some research and found that several universes outside the capital of Merova have special utilization value: some of them are pure slave race settlements, which usually only provide resources and population for the Merova people. There is a more It is a simply "tasteless" world, where the slave race has low strength and a small population. There are still few valuable resources, and the Merova people have almost no military power left there. These universes have low value and empty defense, and are not valued by Barian. However, for the emperor who does not need to rely on external resources for self-expansion, the value of these worlds is not affected at all. While using the capital world of Merova as the main battlefield, we also sent a large number of "erosion fleets" carrying Xiling hosts to those desolate worlds. These fleets will establish more bridgeheads in the weakly defended worlds of Merova. ,I believe. By the time Barian reacts, he will find that the corners of his country are already crowded with imperial artillery.
Two hours later, the planet in front of us has been urgently processed. The shallow acceleration of time has allowed the planet to recover better than expected. Now part of the crust on its surface has been forcibly stabilized. Although the Xiling base has almost no environmental requirements and can even operate normally in the core of a star, I still hope to step on solid ground. At least this is more in line with my own habits.
The Imperial Admiral and part of the giant mothership began to descend and disintegrated simultaneously as they hit the upper atmosphere. The huge starship slowly disintegrated, the starship armor plates peeled off, and rushed to the earth quickly and accurately. They completed partial modifications through the hyperspace device before touching the ground, and then became the base and support structure of the base. The original firepower platform on the armor plate was converted into a land-based anti-aircraft position and a planetary fortress cannon, and the auxiliary mounting interface was converted into a universal plug-in port ready for various factory facilities; the preset factory modules in the starship were converted from shipboard mode to Planetary mode, which allows it to achieve higher production efficiency and greater expansion space, they break away from the frame of the battleship and roar towards the earth. After the base formed by the starship armor plate is completed, it is accurately positioned within a few seconds, and the system restarts within half a second. The production line began to operate, roaring to work in the new connection mode and base layout. A few minutes later, the first batch of war puppet armies walked off the production line. These new and loyal killing machines quickly ran to the assembly point, ready to board. The steaming individual fighters and assault ships that will leave the assembly workshop later will not need too many instructions. These war tools will assemble into an interstellar wolf pack in twenty-four hours, moving geometrically every minute and every second. The number increased and began to invade every place in the galaxy where the Merovans breathed, until all enemies turned into scorched earth.
The General City stood up at the moment when the first batch of individual fighter jets buzzed and jumped into space, shining brightly on this scorching earth.
Lin Xue and I landed together with the bridge part - well, it is now the command tower of General City. I have to say that compared to landing in the landing module, landing on a star battleship that is hundreds of kilometers long takes more time. Feeling more. After the city shield was closed, the two of us came outside the platform and watched the military city operating amidst the brilliant lights. War machines were pouring out of every factory in sight. No matter how many times we watched this scene, it gave people The shock it brings will not diminish.
Although these battlefield production-type troops can only be regarded as cannon fodder and embellishment for the Xiling army system, I estimate that in this remote galaxy where military resistance is not strong, they are enough for the local garrison in Merova.
Looking into the distance, the earth is only a dark red. There is still lava flowing down from the distant mountains that have just cooled down. The dry land outside the base is also slowly surging with hot lava rivers. The same situation should be the same below General City. The conditions were not pleasant, but they were much better than camping in the core of a star - and better than a space base. At least I could still see the horizon. There are many huge shadows in the sky that are moving slowly, dropping large structures as they move. That is the second wave of giant motherships that are dropping bases around General City. Soon these motherships themselves will follow the Imperial Admiral. The numbers also descended, forming a satellite city of General City. This isn't the first time I've seen this happen, but I still find it interesting.
On the edge of the city, a barracks had just landed. Part of its base hit the edge of a magma lake, splashing a huge wave of lava dozens of meters high. Two armored scorpions were standing next to the magma lake with interest. Watching "A House Falls from the Sky", two scorpion soldiers were splashed with lava covering their heads and faces. They immediately found new fun. They jumped into the lava and splashed each other with it. An expressionless raven jumped out of the barracks. , she silently glanced at the two convulsive scorpions who were pouring lava, and then released a polar ice seal, and the lava lake solidified... The raven turned away and left, hiding his merit and fame.
Two scorpions covered with black lava rock creaked out of the solidified lava lake and continued patrolling.
They had no trouble finding the raven. Because they saw a passing leader bee, if there was a fight at this time. I will probably be educated until the next morning...
The air was filled with hot and dry gas, which did not contain oxygen and did not feel comfortable. I looked around and found that Huesca was missing. Only Pandora was ticking next to my leg, so I was curious: "Where's your sister?"
"Going to the center of the earth." Pandora replied concisely and concisely. I suddenly thought: this must be Huesca's curiosity and mobility. It seems that it is difficult for me to understand what the girl is interested in again. Maybe it is the taste of the iron solution, or maybe she just wants to swim in a sauna... Can you swim in the center of the earth?
"The military nodes here are not dense. The other military node is seventy-six light years away," Lin Xue said slowly, looking at the semi-molten mountains in the distance that were collapsing like an avalanche. "That military node was occupied by the Fourth Squadron. It was bombed once. But it seemed to have little occupation value. Sivis ordered the two neighboring star systems there to be completely cleared, and then established a space fortress a few light years away from it. If the Merovans counterattacked in this area, Then they will fall into a trap, if they don't fight back. Space Fortress will form a coalition with General Star."
I was stunned: "General Star?"
The eldest lady stamped her feet: "This thing under my feet - it doesn't have a name, and I didn't bother to think about it. Qianqian just casually named it General Star, because the Imperial Admiral landed here. Just be lucky, that girl didn't Named Rotten Orange Star..."
I wiped my sweat secretly. I couldn't help but think of Qian Qian's weird naming style.
At this time, there was a rhythmic sound of metal hitting the ground from behind us, and I turned my head to look. It turned out that Weijia was walking towards her very energetically, and Qianqian, who was also very energetic, was sitting on the carapace on her back. Sister Xiezi was being treated as a mount again.
"Sir, Turazzo is on the line and hopes to be interviewed by you."
Weijia gave a military salute and turned on the projection generator in her hand. Qianqian slid off Sister Xiezi's back and went to play with the mini Medivh she had adopted.
"Hey, Turazzo, it's been a long time... it's not a long time," I saw Turazzo's old face appearing on the holographic projection. I waved and greeted him, "We have knocked down the outer galaxy."
"I have received the information," Turazo nodded expressionlessly, "I just received it from the channel of the Merova people. You launched a very strong offensive, destroying every world in one raid. All III-level military nodes, and each military node has a survivor who was released by you... Unexpectedly, the empire also began to use psychological torture tactics."
"It's just a suggestion from a black lolita," I shrugged, "Tell me about your intelligence. What's the reaction inside Melova now? What is Barian doing?"
"I'm afraid there is no good news. Barian was not scared to shit, and neither was his loyal army. What you destroyed were all peripheral strongholds. You were excluded from his 'holy army' by Barian due to limited combat effectiveness and bad morals. The place where the soldiers are stationed. What is left now are the truly combat-effective troops of the Merova people. These troops have all been brainwashed and transformed. They are so loyal to Barian that they are almost like a group of fanatic believers. They will not be afraid. You The psychological offensive has very limited effect on a group of people who have no psychology."
"Has Barryan swelled to this point?" I felt the corners of my eyebrows twitching slightly, "Well, it's to be expected. He thinks that he at least has a trump card that won't lead to a disastrous defeat, and he The troops under my command have no fear at all...but I guess they are still in chaos."
"It's true that all the Merova ruling planets are almost in chaos," Turazzo showed a very strange smile, "a bit...paranoid madness. Your sudden appearance has caused all the Merova people There was a huge impact. This has nothing to do with fear, but more like subverting their world view. As far as I know now, every planet has entered the ultimate state of martial law. Except for the Merova soldiers, all civilians and slave races have been Strictly restricting communication and free movement, Barian does not trust his own people. He always believes that his people are planning a riot, and now this distrust has intensified to the extreme. He is mobilizing his main force, but I guess he will not Will choose to take the initiative to attack... because at present, he has no idea where the main force of the emperor's army is. Your full-line raid is really a brilliant move. Barian thought he was being besieged by ten legions..."
"Okay, I guess you don't have much more specific information," I waved my hand, "How are the conservatives' efforts to instigate rebellion and the slave race's infiltration work?"
"The former went very smoothly," Barian smiled wryly. "After all, there are only a few conservatives in total... Thanks to Barian's targeted exclusion of conservatives, they were all pushed to the edge where they had the lowest status and were most easily accessible to me. Troops, when they go out with the main force of Barian, I will give you a special channel so that you can get in touch with the conservative officers. When the time comes, they will attack Barian's army from the rear. I hope you can at least respond. one time."
"Don't worry, at least the conservatives and the imperialists are allies now, right?" I grinned, "over the slave race..."
"This is the point I want to say," Barian's eyes became serious, "I want to confirm, is Her Majesty Sandora really powerful enough to control the minds of all individuals of dozens of races?"
"you think……"
"I intend to organize a slave revolt - a super-revolt on all worlds, on all planets."
