Standing in the bridge, Gu Hang stared at the Koroga 3 outside the window, speechless for a long time.
This is a withered and yellow planet.
The water body on the planet’s surface only accounts for less than one-tenth. From the orbit, it looks yellow-green, which doesn’t look like a good thing. In fact, that’s exactly what it is, Koruga 3 The water bodies at No. 1 are unusable and full of industrial wastewater and toxic substances that emerge from the earth's crust after over-exploitation.
Even after multiple filtration and purification, it is not recommended and does not meet safety standards.
What's more, in a broken place like Koroja, the purification process may not be completely guaranteed.
But no one cares about it. Almost all the people in Korokia use this water.
If we don’t use this water, how can we use the water resources needed by 40 billion people? Is it possible that we can still rely on interstellar trade to import them?
Except for the small proportion of water bodies, The rest of the planet is dry and yellow.
There is no vegetation, all you can see is desert. The earth is yellow, the clouds in the atmosphere are yellow, and even the air is yellow in some places.
And in this large expanse of withered yellow, there are dozens of large, gray-black spots distributed. The combined area is very large when you look at the planet from orbit.
These spots are the hive area.
Every hive city on Koroga has a population ranging from hundreds of millions to billions of people living in it.
And now, one of these hives is the most conspicuous.
It is not particularly big, just average, but behind it, there is a long tail, which is already thousands of kilometers away.
Gu Hang knew that it was moving, although he couldn't tell it for a moment. Its forward speed of about two kilometers an hour was not obvious from the track, and Gu Hang couldn't do it here. I stared at it for a long time.
But he knew that this thing was moving.
This is the city of Fino. In the past month, it has created a deep ravine hundreds of meters deep and dozens of kilometers wide, which is called the Trace of Plague.
The Astra Militarum can't do anything about it, and the Pegasus fleet, whose main force is not here, can't do anything about it either.
And this creeping hive city is moving towards its goal with a seemingly slow but in fact determined attitude.
A week ago, it arrived at its target, another hive.
This hive city is relatively small, but there are also more than 300 million people living in it.
After realizing that Fino City’s goal was this hive, the people on the planet have tried their best to find a solution.
On the one hand, the hive city is frantically evacuating people, but this matter is not going well. Unrest broke out in the Diji district of this hive city, and the plague cult had some penetration into the area. The cult believers who were bewitched chanted the slogan of becoming one with their loving father and tried their best to sabotage and obstruct the evacuation.
In addition to the obstruction of cult believers,, the evacuation of 300 million people is itself a huge and unfinishable project. The transportation within the nest city is relatively developed, but the intercity transportation was only designed for material exchange, business exchange, and a small number of high-level personnel exchanges at the beginning. It was not considered that it would have to bear the movement of hundreds of millions of people at once.
There is a huge traffic jam in the nest city, which is almost an unavoidable situation.
On the other hand, in addition to the efforts of the hive itself, the Astra Militarum and the Planetary Defense Force finally gathered together and launched an army-level operation against Fino City.
An army of one million bravely stood in front of Fino City. Heavy artillery bombarded every activated building, armored vehicles, tanks and heroic soldiers stepped into the carpet of flesh and blood, using flamethrowers and bombs to destroy the city as much as possible.
But their action ultimately failed.
The number of plague monsters in Fino City is far greater than that of heroic human warriors. They were fiercely counterattacked by plague monsters and deformed cult believers. Their pace could not reach the core of the city at all, and was stopped at the outer edge.
What's more, this place is no longer the home of mankind, and the flesh-and-blood environment is extremely malicious to mankind. The built bunker may be activated, and in turn open its big mouth to devour the soldiers hiding behind; the meat carpet in an area has been cleared, and the trenches and foxholes dug out, the soldiers are still fighting in them, but after a while, the soles of their feet, Puss began to seep from the trench walls, corroding the soldiers' uniforms, armor, and then their skin; if you entered a building to fight, that building might collapse in the next moment
On the contrary , but their enemies can use the entire activated city to appear anywhere quickly and covertly
For humans, Fino City has turned into a hell of flesh and blood. And fighting those plague demons in the home ground of hell is simply impossible.
The million-strong army collapsed after suffering more than 200,000 casualties.
Even if it doesn’t collapse, it really has no fighting power.
During the withdrawal process, there were still a lot of losses.
After paying such a high price, it only delayed Fino City for about five days, and then set off again.
When Fino City touched that other hive city, there were at least 100 million people inside who had not had time to evacuate.
Then, people outside witnessed the integration of the city with their own eyes.
Integration in the physical sense.
Fino City is like a giant beast of flesh and blood, moving step by step, wrapping its tentacles and every part of it around every building and structure in the hive city.
The place where it was entangled was simultaneously transformed into a living body.
Three days, just three days later, Fino City swallowed up the hive city and the 100 million people inside who had no time to escape.
Then it paused for about a week.
It is digesting.
As of today, based on the intelligence coming from the surface, Gu Hang learned that Fino City should have completed its digestion work and officially started moving again today.
And its next target is the largest hive and capital city on Koroja, the famous Yancheng with a population of three billion.
The distance between the two places is 2,700 kilometers. According to the speed of Fino City, it will reach its target in three months.
What is even more terrifying is that it may be planning to visit dozens of nests on Koroga one by one at a speed of two kilometers per hour and about thirty kilometers per day.
It will eat up the entire planet.
Gu Hang looked at all this and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He arrived in orbit of Koroga today and came here at the invitation of Nellaois.
The tax chief of the Star Territory now has a special envoy urgently granted by the Star Territory government to solve the problem of Koroga 3.
Gu Hang had already learned the information about Koroga through astrological communication before.
But seeing the report is completely different from standing on the bridge of a starship in orbit and witnessing the huge sores on this huge planet.
"What is the solution?"
Gu Hang muttered to himself.
Even he was at a loss.
The alliance has developed rapidly in the past four years.
The three major industrial centers of Black Arrow Star have absorbed a large number of people, and the industrialization process is very rapid; agricultural production has also basically completed mechanization, while ensuring further increase in output, it has also greatly reduced the impact of agriculture on population consumption.
Nu Xiaoxing’s population has grown to 1.1 billion through immigration, encouraging childbirth, etc., and productivity has always maintained rapid growth along with the increase in population.
The combined annual output value of the two planets has exceeded 600 million; as the quality of people's lives continues to improve, the fiscal balance can reach nearly 1.5 billion per year, while the annual tax revenue is only 45 million.
Everything is on track. The alliance no longer needs to pay personnel tax, and even a large amount of output can be put into production again. The future looks so bright. Give Gu Hang another four years, or a little longer, and he can use his powerful technology to build two rich and powerful planets.
But the neighbor next door had given him a huge mess before that.
Gu Hang had thought before that Koluojia’s condition would continue to deteriorate and would eventually get out of hand.
But this situation happened too quickly.
No matter how fast or good the alliance develops, it is still too small after all, and it is really impossible to fill the huge hole in Koroga.
Of course, this itself is not his responsibility.
This is from the EmpireResponsibilities.
Actually, it does not mean that the empire really has no way to deal with this kind of thing.
The large general cannons equipped by some armies are weapons that can pose a terrible threat to void shields. Even city-level void shields can overload them after a few shots, and another shot can almost destroy them. A city; there are also some powerful bombs that can be brought in to blow up the city.
Not to mention, there are terrifying weapon starships just around the corner.
If the empire wants to initiate an extermination order against a planet, there are actually many methods. The most stupid one is to use starship cannons to carry out detailed, comprehensive and devastating strikes on the surface of the planet, completely Bombing every inch of the planet's surface to a crisp, commonly known as burning glass.
Of course, there are other methods of extermination orders. Using a naval gun to burn glass is actually very expensive and requires a lot of shells. The cost is high and it takes a long time, so it is not common. But when certain extermination orders are needed and no other extermination order weapons are available for a while, then we can only make do with what we have.
However, in order for the fleet to carry out bombing, it is necessary to ensure that the surface of the earth poses no threat to the orbit. Otherwise, the execution of the extermination order will become a confrontation with the anti-orbital firepower of the planet.
Even if you have some other extermination weapons, such as neutron killing, sky-burning torpedoes, and earth-blasting star destroyers, the requirements for orbital safety are not that high, but it is best to Only launch if a certain level of safety can be ensured.
Neutron killing is used to eliminate all organic life forms on the surface of the planet. The advantage is that after the neutron storm subsides, the planet can be recolonized and can still be used. However, the disadvantages are that it is expensive and It's easy for a few fish to slip through the net.
The Earth Blast Destroyer can directly penetrate the earth's crust, detonate the earth's core, and shatter the planet. Of course, this does not mean that the planet will be blown to pieces. The matter itself will still exist, because gravity will still maintain the state of a planet, but this is only maintained at the astronomical level. In fact, the entire planet was shattered and reorganized due to gravity. After that, the entire planet was in a state of lava, and it was impossible for anything to survive. This weapon has the best extermination effect, but it is also the most expensive and rarest.
Compared with the former two, the Sky Burning Torpedo mainly ignites the atmosphere, burns out all the gases, and burns the surface of the planet. From a cosmic perspective, the entire planet will look like a burning object in a few days. Like amber. But the disadvantage is that there may also be fish that hide deeply and slip through the net, and the planet will be destroyed after burning it. The advantage is that it is much cheaper.
But even the cheapest Burning Sky torpedo is almost as expensive as a cruiser. The price of the Extinction Order weapon itself is so high, and the penetration effect is not very good. If someone has relatively strong anti-orbital firepower, it can be easily intercepted.
After being intercepted once, it would be too much to reimburse one extermination weapon.
In short, at the level of the entire empire, even an extermination order can be executed, let alone destroying a city. Even thisThe nest is moving.
However, there is still no way to implement it in the Pegasus sector, especially in the Koluoga 3.
It is nonsense to execute the extermination order against Koruga. On this planet, with such a large population and other industries worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of tax dollars, such a decision would not be made unless it was completely irreversible.
To destroy Fino City, only weapons such as the macro cannon and light spear array on the starship are enough.
But the problem is that it cannot solve the void shield and anti-orbital force on the ground.
It is stupid to use starships to bombard the surface. No matter how powerful your fleet is, it is really a planet. Starships can be equipped with limited firepower, limited armor, and limited energy shields they can support. If you want stronger firepower, thicker armor, and more energy, the starship must be bigger, but as it gets bigger, the cost will skyrocket exponentially.
But on the surface of the planet, there are no such problems. You can use as many cannons as you can with the firepower, and you don’t have to worry about running out of places to put them; regardless of the armor issue, no starship’s armor can be thicker than the earth; there is no need to consider the size of the energy shield or void shield generator, whether on the ground or underground, There is enough space to stuff it in
This is a starship that does not move but does not fall
If the army cannot deal with the anti-orbital firepower, the Pegasus fleet cannot deal with Fino City. .
But obviously, the current army on Koruga just can't do it.
Unless the main force of the Pegasus fleet urgently withdraws from the battlefield with the green-skinned orcs.
Even if they ignore it now and withdraw from the battlefield immediately, will it be too late? It may take three or four months to return to Koroga across multiple star regions.
At that time, the famous Yancheng was gone.
The Creeping Hive has been greatly strengthened again. I am afraid that the strength of the void shield and anti-orbital evil energy cannon will be further improved. By then, even the main force of the Pegasus fleet may not be able to solve the problem. .
At that point, it may be too late to consider an extermination order. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
