Chapter 26 Landing?

Cheng Mingrui was a little anxious. Why didn't the human cruiser behind him catch up quickly? He had already set up his traps. Was he scared after firing a few macro cannons? No way...

He led his technical masters to work urgently, and relying on my cheating, they managed to transform a damaged macro cannon turret into an air-to-air mine launcher.

The mechanical guys lived up to expectations and made a lot of powerful and waaagh big guys. The meal was ready, but it was a bit annoying if the guests didn't come to eat.

"Slippery...Commander, we...our warships have already sailed into the nebula. Do you have any instructions?" The clever ghost reported in a serious voice.

"..." Cheng Mingrui was speechless. When the time came, could he just walk around outside and not go in?

"Reduce the speed to half, and after exiting the nebula, return to full speed and continue the S curve to the second nebula. Then reduce the speed to half again, and after exiting the second nebula, return to full speed and continue at full speed."

"Roger that! Mission complete, sir!" In his mind, he could still hear the image of the clever ghost standing at attention and saluting.

After the speed was reduced, Cheng Mingrui led the boys to place rows of creative air mines into the nebula. Some of the mechanical boys even gave their works resounding names.

Names like "Zha Yi Ban Er", "Meng Tou Dao", "Du Yi Fen", "Pet Jing Shi", "Chain Blast", "The Biggest Waaagh". Names like "Zha Fan Tian" (the greeting of Gogo) seem much more normal.

The greenskins are so happy.

After the nebula was filled with air mines, Cheng Mingrui went to the next work location with a little regret that he could not see the air mines explode.

In addition to air mines, he also has a secret weapon. It would be a pity if he didn't create something with the infinite and exquisite knowledge in his mind. It's like a model maker receiving a satisfactory model but not being able to assemble it immediately.

The pursuing Guardian followed into the nebula and immediately fell into a trap set by air mines. The four-kilometer-long cruiser was too huge, and it was impossible for it to avoid air mines that were hundreds of meters long.

A large number of air mines equipped with magnetic fuses were like piranhas cruising in space. The moment the Guardian entered the minefield, they swarmed over it, one mine after another.

Frequent explosions occurred all over the Guardian, and the flames surrounded the entire warship. After enduring for quite a long time, the void shield finally collapsed.

The flames from the explosion of the air mine finally reached the battleship itself, causing actual damage to the Guardian's structure. Red alarm lights were flashing throughout the battleship.

The captain, who was experiencing this kind of battle for the first time, was terrified. With a grim face, he ordered the warship to stop moving and wait for the void shield to be recharged.

When the explosion completely stopped and the void shield raised a blue-purple barrier again, an hour had passed. When the Guardian chased again, the Glorious Knight was about to enter the satellite orbit of Oronia 4.

In fact, waiting was completely unnecessary. How could a 100-meter-long air mine sink a 4-kilometer-long warship? Even if it broke through by force, at most it would destroy some of the warship's outer structures, turrets, etc. The loss of fighter planes could not be compensated by these superficial injuries.

After experiencing the second bombing of the Nebula Minefield, the Guardian was stretched out for a distance again, and it seemed impossible to catch up with the Glory Knight. Letting an inexperienced captain command the battle alone led to a huge tragedy.

Cheng Ruiming didn't expect that the human warship chasing behind him was so weak. He even urgently magnetized the spire structure in the middle of the Knight of Glory and turned it into an arc weapon, which seemed completely unnecessary.

"I should have known better than to formulate such a conservative tactic. It would have been better to head straight for habitable planet No. 3. Now it's too late. The 5-kilometer-long Glorious Knight has already entered the gravitational field of planet No. 4. It's too dangerous for such a huge behemoth to change its course when it is affected by gravity."

"But..." Cheng Ruiming slyly touched his bald head, "It's not impossible to have them all."

The Glorious Knight began to orbit Oronia 4 in an elliptical orbit, moving centrifugally at the edge of its gravitational field.

The blue spear of light cut through the orderly orbit, and the Guardian, which had been left behind, finally caught up. Perhaps because the captain was severely criticized by the Governor, the Guardian's firepower became even more ferocious.

Even if the distance is too far to hit, long-range firepower must be used to limit the Glorious Knight's forward direction.

"Wouldn't it have been better if we had started fighting earlier..." At this moment Cheng Ruiming no longer cared. He sat steadily on the bridge and ordered the Glorious Knight to slowly descend its orbital altitude in preparation for entering Euronia 4.

To be honest, after two ambushes, a warp voyage, and a long-distance pursuit, the reliability of the Glorious Knight has almost reached its limit. It is unwise to continue fighting, and the safest choice is to land safely with the greenskins.

The Guardian's captain was pleased to see that under his command, the Light Lance and Macro Cannon had forced the Glorious Knight into a descending trajectory towards Oronia IV.

"Our ship's initial mission objective has been achieved. The Orc warship was severely damaged by our ship. It is expected to crash into Oronia 4 in two Terra hours, and be accompanied by the rocks and sandstorms above."

Along with the galaxy that the Guardian captain was seeking credit for, several white silver lights were launched towards Oronia 3. They were too small to be detected on a cosmic scale, and even if they were illuminated by radar, they might be mistaken for meteorite fragments.

These are the purposes of Cheng Mingrui's circumnavigation. He uses the gravity slingshot of Oronia 4 and faces the star interference optical radar. He puts Iron Claw and other greenskins in a small aircraft and shoots them towards Oronia 3.

According to calculations, the small aircraft carrying a large number of green skins will wander between galaxies like an ordinary meteorite, then be captured by the gravity of Oronia 3 and finally fall on the surface of the planet.

Cheng Mingrui didn't care whether the landing was successful or not. As long as a piece of green-skinned orc's remains fell on the planet, he would have succeeded.

The green spores will spread, develop and grow underground, and hatch new batches of little ones.

The high temperature generated by the friction with the atmosphere continued to burn the hull of the Glorious Knight, and the turrets were constantly damaged. The armor could not withstand such burning and fell off.

If someone could stand on the surface of the planet and look up at the sky, they would be shocked by the magnificent sight. Huge warships fell from the sky, and the flames from friction and burning dragged out long tails, smashing heavily on the earth of the planet like a judgment falling from heaven.

The mushroom cloud produced by the impact and explosion could rise to tens of thousands of kilometers, and the shock wave would sweep across hundreds of square kilometers of land, sweeping away everything on it.

Chapter 27: Greenskin Primitive Tribe

The 5-kilometer-long space battleship was not designed to land on a planet. A battleship made of working fluid engine physics would be firmly bound by gravity when it landed on the surface of a planet, and the cost of breaking through the atmosphere again would be too high.

But Cheng Mingrui didn't care about all this. He didn't care how many guys died in the landing impact. That's how the greenskins are. They are extremely indifferent to their own and others' lives.

Besides, the damage to the warships and casualties caused by the landing impact were small losses, and the cover was the big gain. The huge mushroom cloud would allow a large amount of dust to enter the atmosphere, covering an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers along the atmosphere, blocking all vision from outer space.

This would avoid orbital bombardment from space, buying time for evacuation and development.

On the Guardian, which witnessed the entire fall of the Glorious Knight, the captain immediately ordered the video recordings to be transmitted back to the Governor's Palace on Euronia 3. This was his capital for seeking credit and reward.

Conwater, who was discussing the reorganization of the defense force with Pex, was so happy that he almost lost his composure when he heard the news that the Glorious Knight had been shot down.

"General Pex, it looks like our preparations were unnecessary. The orcs were not able to escape pursuit. They were sunk on the Oronia 4. Check out this crash video."

Pex took the simple terminal and watched every frame of the video carefully. After watching it twice, Pex returned the terminal to Conwater.

"Your Excellency Governor, I think we should not only continue the reorganization work, but also strengthen our armaments, expand factories, and prepare for the war in the next few years, decades, or possibly hundreds of years." Pex said seriously.

"Ah? Why?" Convot looked puzzled. "Oronia 4 is a rocky planet that is difficult to develop. It lacks water, has a thin atmosphere, and has almost no plants or animals. Add to that the severe impact and explosion, and all the aliens on it should have died."

"No!!!" shouted Pex, who always gave a gentle impression, "Don't underestimate those damn green monsters!"

Whatever Pex's purpose was, his regard and hatred for the green-skinned orcs was very real.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I lost my composure, Your Excellency Governor." Facing the stunned Cornwater, as well as a group of officers and staff, Pecks immediately saluted and apologized.

"..." Convot recovered from his previous joy and said calmly: "General Pex, why do you attach so much importance to these green monsters? They are just a group of backward and barbaric aliens, aren't they?"

In the minds of many nobles of the human empire, the green-skinned orcs are backward and barbaric aliens. Even among the common people, they would laugh at the orcs for attacking the human defense line with broken axes, stones, and steel plates.

In movies and TV shows that promote the might of the human empire, orcs are often portrayed as negative characters. Under the heroic firepower of human warriors, they are mowed down in large numbers by machine guns, or blown into minced meat by artillery fire.

Many people think that Conwart's contempt for the green-skinned orcs is natural. Should a race that still uses stones and axes and relies on numbers to win wars be taken so seriously?

In his heart, Pex despised the nearby humans. They were too short-sighted. Just now, when the orcs drove the warships towards them, they were still afraid and took it seriously.

Now that the crisis has just been resolved, they have become arrogant and careless. This race is too young, and the backwardness of thought and cognition is the real backwardness!

"No, many people have been deceived by the greenskins' seemingly stupid appearance. They are cunning, smart, keen on war, and possess a lot of strange technologies. The most terrifying thing is that their numbers are endless..." Pex explained patiently.

"The greenskins' thinking logic is very simple. There is only one line, which is war, endless war. They are born for war. Either kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy."

"Once a small piece of orc remains lands on a planet by chance, it will take root and sprout. It won't take long before a large number of green-skinned monsters, including orcs, farts, and squiggles, grow underground on the planet."

Just like telling a story, Pex slowly explains the racial characteristics of the greenskins.

"A primitive tribe of greenskins will soon form, and their numbers will grow. If there is a civilization on this planet, the greenskins will be very happy, gather together to attack this civilization, and grow rapidly in the war.

If this civilization cannot quickly eliminate the greenskins, their technology will explode like magic.

The first time I saw the greenskins, they were still using stones and bows and arrows; the second time, they began to try gunpowder and cannons; the third time, the greenskins might have plasma weapons and tall armor; the fourth time, they might have powerful Titans…"

Pex's words made the audience around him shudder. How could technology progress like this? Even the Mechanicus on Mars couldn't do it! Such a leap forward could only be the appearance of the Messiah Om.

"Generally speaking, time is on the side of the green-skinned aliens, and the indigenous civilization will eventually be destroyed. In order to find a stronger opponent and continue their war, the orcs will start fighting among themselves until a warlord emerges."

"Then the warlord led all the greenskins to develop technology at an even more incredible speed, built spaceships that could fly out of the planet, and started the greenskins' own expedition. During the expedition, the greenskins had to defeat the enemy or be defeated by the enemy.

After being defeated by the enemy, the bodies of the orcs will float in the universe. Once by chance, a piece of the green skin's remains will land on a new planet... Soon, a new green skin primitive tribe is born. "

"This is why there are endless greenskins in the universe and they can never be killed, which is why it is called the green plague." After Pex finished the story, the atmosphere on the scene seemed to be frozen. No one dared to speak, and no one knew what to say.

Cornwall swallowed the saliva in his mouth and said, "General Pecks, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

"Do as I said just now, and start mobilizing, prepare to send troops to Oronia 4 and nip the threat in the bud." Pex said viciously.

Cheng Mingrui was very depressed on the gray land of Oronia 4. This place was too desolate, nothing but rocks, no water on the ground, how could such mushrooms grow there?

Should we think of a solution or hide first, and wait for Iron Claw and his men to develop on the human home planet, and then build a spaceship to go over and cause trouble? This is a question.

Chapter 28 Big Drill

A week passed quickly on Oronia 4. At first, the human warships tried to bomb several times, but the thick clouds made the effect very poor, so they gave up and wasted ammunition.

This week was relatively peaceful. The damage rate of the Glorious Knight was over 70%, and it would require a large amount of resources and minerals to repair it. For the time being, it can only be used as scrap metal and a fortress.

With the battleship as the core, Cheng Mingrui often takes his men around to explore the environment and resources of the planet.

The more we explored, the more upset we became. There were no minerals at all, only stones.

The robes scattered from the greenskins began to take root and sprout on these bare stones, and huge mushrooms grew tenaciously on the hard stones and soil.

Perhaps because the environment was too harsh, many mushrooms were in a state of decline, and some even withered.

Looking at the mushroom field in front of him, Cheng Mingrui was very sad. How could he grow crops on such saline-alkali land? This was not like Civilization 6, where you could restart if the spawn point was not good.

"Slippery boss!" An orc boy riding a huge yellow Squig came running over.

"What's the matter? Don't come to me if it's not urgent. I'm very annoyed now." Cheng Mingrui didn't even have the heart to kick the orc boy.

"It's over there at the well, it's over there at the well, something happened, boss." The orc boy was very anxious, but Cheng Mingrui was not anxious at all.

"The boys are making trouble again? I'm surprised. They fought and sang for such a long time without taking a break, but not a single boy complained of being tired. Now let them dig a few wells, and they all complain of being tired."

Cheng Mingrui, who was squatting on the ground, stood up and shook his arms, ready to go to the well to deal with the troubled boys. As long as there was a fight, whether it was the beater or the beaten, the boys would be quiet for a while.

"It's water! The boys dug out water!" The orc boy finally spoke a complete sentence.

"!" Cheng Mingrui's eyes widened. "This is really good news. I thought it would take at least a month to dig, but I didn't expect to be so lucky. Let's go! Go to the well. The mushroom field needs a lot of water for irrigation."

In a valley with intricate gullies, a huge drilling rig stands. The drill rig is thick and big, and is decorated with a blue-painted goby head on top.

The large drills kept drilling through the rocks, making a huge noise. However, such a loud noise did not dampen the enthusiasm of the boys around. But the boys were not working seriously, but fighting...fighting to avoid working.

A group of guys painted in blue defeated the guys painted in red, and the guys painted in blue proudly roared "waaagh!" on the stage.

The failed red guys were dejected. They obediently took the tools from the fart spirits, walked down the mine with a sad look on their faces, and started working.

This is also the solution Cheng Mingrui thought of. The orcs like war and fighting, and hate boring labor. Using fighting competitions can greatly relieve their disgust and turn three riots a day into one a day.

Seeing the boss coming, the boys who had gathered together made way.

"Didn't they say that water was pumped out? Take me there quickly." Cheng Mingrui asked anxiously.

A huge dinosaur-like Squiggle appeared in front of Cheng Mingrui, and the shadow it cast could even completely cover the five-meter-tall Cheng Mingrui.

"Slippery Boss!" Above Squig's head, the clever ghost, who had grown not only bigger but also fatter, waved and greeted Cheng Mingrui.

"We got water, the best water, and I say our drill and our Squig are the best!"

"So much nonsense. How is the water quality and the water output?"

The clever ghost quickly jumped off the Squig and took Cheng Mingrui into the mine. The cave was very deep. They walked for an unknown amount of time before they found a small opening in the wall of the cave, from which turbid sewage full of sand flowed.

Cheng Mingrui glanced at the clever guy, and his eyes revealed only one meaning: That's it?

"You boasted you could find water in a week, didn't you? Now there are only two days left, and I'm tired of eating Squig."

Orcs can actually get energy from basking in the sun, since they are mushroom people. But if they consume too much energy, they need to eat to maintain it, so orcs also have mouths.

Most of the time, this mouth is for fun, not because of hunger. In the orc society, the most common food on the menu is Squig. Squig has a variety of types, a variety of flavors, and strong plasticity.

There are also many orcs who like to eat fart spirits, especially those who like to skewer and roast them. Fart spirits always like to find a boss for themselves, hoping that they can have a boss to protect them and live two more days in the greenskin society.

The clever guy whose eyes were moving so fast was working so hard that smoke was about to come out of his head. Cheng Mingrui looked quite pitiful. He was just joking. He had done a lot of mental preparation to eat Squig, but he really couldn't bring himself to eat fart spirits.

"Boss...this amount of water does not meet the requirements. I'll ask the guys to work harder and continue digging." The clever guy was very cunning and did not use the reasoning that this amount of water was also water to quibble.

"Speaking of which, Boss, what do you want water for? If you want to drink it, I know a juicy Squig that tastes great. If you want to pursue the taste, I can also make mushroom wine."

With a bang, Cheng Mingrui punched the clever ghost on the head. Even though he controlled the strength, he still knocked him to the ground with a bang.

"What are you thinking about? Juicy Squig and drinking. There's not enough water on this planet. The mushroom fields are drooping and look like they're dying. You can't grow new ones, Squig. You're still thinking about these things."

"Ah? Boss, you want water because of the mushroom field?" The clever ghost looked incredulous, as if Cheng Mingrui's words overturned his three views.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? How can we farm without water? Farming requires watering!" Cheng Mingrui had never farmed in his previous life, but at least he knew that plants need water, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other trace elements to grow.

It's impossible for it to grow out of thin air, so the law of conservation of energy must be followed.

"..." The clever ghost looked at Cheng Mingrui with an even more incredible look, as if he had seen a ghost, but because of his fist, he said weakly: "If you want the mushroom field to grow well, you need snotty spirits to plant it. You have to find the dumbest snotty spirits. If they sleep in the field, the mushroom field will grow well."

"Ah?!" Cheng Mingrui looked at the clever guy as if he was mentally retarded, and his eyes revealed, are you kidding me?
