The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 246 Past events on the mother planet

"It is indeed it. It has a bloated abdomen and highly enlarged ovaries. It is a full-time breeding machine. If it does not rely on the support of other individuals, there is no possibility of survival."

This time, what was fixed on the experimental table was replaced by the deliberately pinched Saw Ant Queen, and the screen on the side showed a perspective view of its abdominal structure that was similar to that of ordinary wild Saw Ants. Compared.

"The tail spine has degenerated to minimize the impact on egg laying, and the end structure of the walking legs has degenerated. It has a pouch structure to store male germ cells, which can be stored for a long time. It only needs to be bred once in a lifetime, and parthenogenesis can also be performed when necessary. Reproduction.”

Lin Yi no longer cares about the capture of the Saw Ant Queen. Now, what he is most concerned about is that the alien individual who was successfully parasitized by the carpet spores has been confirmed to have no trace after repeated inspections. After the incident, the isolation ended and he was released.

He has already begun to study the language of the aliens, but it is still a little behind, mainly comparing it with radio to further determine some details of the other party's language.

At this time, the signal from the sensory perspective showed that the alien individual had once again equipped himself with protective clothing and was preparing to conduct routine patrol work.

……

"Good guy, I really dropped this thing. This firepower is enough for a planetary landing battle."

By gently touching the thick shell made of composite materials, sound and light signals are transmitted simultaneously, expressing the surprise of the signal sender.

At that time, there were four main forces on the Ezki home planet, composed of four major countries - the Merimi Federation, the Furka Group, the Kingdom of Perli and the Dochidel Alliance. The remaining small countries are mostly dependent on these four major countries and have formed their own forces.

Large combat mecha, one of the emerging equipment in the planetary unification war, was once known as "city sweeper" and "street fighting crusher". It is the best offensive spearhead in urban warfare and an eternal nightmare in the enemy's mind.

Among them, Merimi had the most powerful navy and air force at that time, while Furka focused on the army. The latter two were relatively weak and had no significant advantage over the former two.

But the Mailimi people underestimated the revolutionary changes brought about by controllable nuclear fusion - not just the fusion itself, but also the advancements in materials science and productivity it brought about, which quickly formed combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

After a period of hesitation, the Furka Group's new equipment was quickly put into large-scale production - a large-scale intra-atmospheric aircraft that uses nuclear fusion as energy to heat the air and eject it at extremely high speeds.

The first two have been feuding for a long time. The trigger of the war was the breakthrough of controllable nuclear fusion technology. The Furka group took the lead in developing practical controllable nuclear fusion technology and put it into use. The Merimi Federation, which did not want to see the other party dominate, took advantage of the fact that the technology was not widely used and united with many countries to pressure it and force it to hand over the technology.

The detailed story begins before the Planetary Unification War.

Its propulsion principle is just an upgraded version of the traditional jet engine, except that it no longer uses fuel to burn, but uses the nearly 100 million degree high temperature generated by the nuclear fusion reaction to heat the air as a working medium and eject it.

However, the continuous energy brought by the nuclear fusion reaction has greatly improved its endurance and output power. It can be called a flying armored gunship, with better defense and ferocious firepower than a main gun tank. .

The breakthrough in energy gave it the ability to carry large electromagnetic weapons and carry out deadly precise heavy fire strikes at high altitudes - later, it turned out that its emergence completely ended the traditional combat model, making large-scale field battles in plain areas a thing of the past. Under the protection of large-scale directed energy defense systems powered by controllable nuclear fusion, even traditional thermonuclear warhead ballistic missiles have lost their deterrence significance, and war has broken out.

The declared goal of the war was also simple, integration. Trying to integrate the Ezki people into a whole, instead of the current scattered sand, to join forces to explore the unknown starry sky.

The originally powerful navy and air force were vulnerable to the Furka's new armored gunboats, and the army that appeared in the open field would receive the focus of high-mobility firepower delivery platforms.

The armored gunboat combines the high defensive breakthrough capability of the main gun tank, the rapid deployment capability of the fixed-wing aircraft, the maneuverability of the armed rotary-wing aircraft, and the strong fire support capability of the self-propelled artillery, which can completely form an overwhelming advantage.

When one side has an overwhelming advantage in field battles, the main form of war is the battle around cities, fortresses and key industrial areas.

This gives things like large combat mechas their existence value. Its appearance makes the outcome of street fighting and urban warfare no longer suspense.

The armored gunship has a considerable load-carrying capacity and can carry a large number of large-scale combat mechas. It can use its defensive power to conduct low-altitude penetrations and drop the payload near the target location. It even has the remaining capacity to use the electromagnetic weapons it carries to provide ground troops with dropped weapons. Provide continuous fire support.

The combination of two cutting-edge weapons made the victory of the Furkaji group a foregone conclusion. Quickly capture the city and territory within a period of time,
In the end, the party headed by the Merimi Federation was forced to surrender, and the four major forces were slowly integrated with the Furka group. Finally, the Ezki Consortium was announced, a unified group led by Furka. power.

From then on, the concept of "country" became history, replaced by a completely unified civilization. Various resources were also completely integrated, and finally, the discovery of hyperspace channels and the advent of the era of large-scale universe exploration were achieved.

"Yeah, it's a pity that we didn't bring two armored gunboats. Otherwise, why would we need this tilt-rotor aircraft?"

The complex structure of the large armored gunship is not suitable for the orbital airdrop mode of dismantling it into parts and dropping them, and it cannot carry out space navigation on its own, so it is not carried on the transport ships of the exploration fleet. Therefore, for the exploration of the planet, traditional methods must be used. of rotorcraft.

"After all, they are just wild animals. Besides, the cave limits the range of weapons, so those things can only be touched close. If it is an open area, there is no need for armored gunships to take action. Do you Furka people really have a phobia of insufficient firepower?"

"Don't let me know who made up this stereotype, otherwise..."

……

During the conversation and laughter, the large combat mecha also completed its daily maintenance work. The huge body became active as someone entered the cockpit and began to move forward. Everything in this research outpost returned to normal.

But what no one knew was that all of this was received word for word by the secret observers and quickly deciphered. Moreover, the other party's next plan is also brewing and is about to be implemented.
