Arknights? Colonization Ark!

Tallulah cleverly used their experience as civil engineers and assigned them the first job.

Dig holes.

This is a photo taken by the scouts as they were transporting the soil and rocks they had dug out of the cave.

Even when 8,000 people were climbing the mountain, most of them were still digging holes and didn't pay any attention to what was happening outside.

The power of the Originium cannon is great. Perhaps it can damage high-speed warships and blow up mobile city houses, but it is impossible for it to cause damage to the mountain. On the contrary, the more it is exploded, the tighter it will become. If it is winter soil that has been frozen, it will be even harder.

Thanks to their efforts, they gradually dug out a number of interconnected tunnels in the two mountains, waiting to give a surprise to the second round of attackers after the current round of bombing was over.

Of course, it was impossible for 20,000 people to squeeze together. This stretch of mountains was basically demarcated by Tallulah, and it was dozens of miles long.

Most of the weapons in their hands were obsolete items, including special shields, uniforms, and a large amount of explosives.

The explosion outside eventually caused some impact on the tunnel. The sand and stones on the top of the tunnel were vibrated and some of them fell through the gaps in the reinforcement plates.

They fell on an open book, and the owner of the book gently brushed them aside and continued to read the words on it as if no one was around. Against the backdrop of his big hands, the book looked a little miniature, but that did not prevent him from drawing and marking on it with a pen.

Is this person mentally ill?

A common idea spread in the minds of others. After all, in a tunnel full of artillery fire, a soldier wearing Punisher power armor sat cross-legged on the ground with his back against the wall, holding a book and a pen in his hands and writing as if no one was around. This scene was really weird.

In Ursus, even those who prepare for university entrance exams don't study so hard. This is almost crazy.

Moreover, she was the only one like her among the group of big guys in power armor. The others were either leaning against each other and chatting, or observing the enemy on the hillside outside. No one could be as relaxed as she was.

Some curious people couldn't resist their curiosity and simply walked over to see what the big guy was looking at.

He slowly walked to the other person's side, then stretched his neck and squinted his eyes, trying to see the words on the book clearly.

The person who was originally sitting on the ground noticed his little action and turned his head to look at him.

Perhaps it was because the photoelectric sensing system on the visor that emitted a blue fluorescent light was too intimidating, scaring the man so much that he quickly stepped back with a forced smile on his face, fearing that he would displease the other party.

This is the case in the Ursus army. Superiors have absolute power, and those who dare to offend are often severely punished.

The Punisher soldier waved at the man.

"come on."

The person who was called looked pale as death, and he only hated himself for not controlling his eyes and being so shameless. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and moved forward step by step.

If he didn't go, things might be even worse. Anyway, there was a war going on now, and he wouldn't kill himself.

Some people around were silent, some were watching the show, and some were even mocking in secret. There was no sense of grief for the loss of the rabbit at all.

Anyway, everyone will be going to die like cannon fodder soon, so it doesn't make any difference whether it's earlier or later.

This almost self-destructive mentality describes most people.

But what they didn't expect was that instead of the expected insults and whipping, the soldier seemed to have cancelled the magnetic attraction of his helmet. He stretched out his hands and took off his helmet, revealing the female face inside. Her short brown hair and delicate and sharp facial features made her look very heroic.

If Zhang Miao saw it, he might even find it familiar.

Because this was the infected mother he had met in the industrial zone who threw bombs at him and Yelena.

But now she is full of energy and no longer looks as miserable as she did back then.

After being taken away by the shield guard, she felt relieved when she saw her child was rescued, but she also hated herself for what she had done. Later, she simply entrusted her child to her neighbor and signed up for military training.

This was the quickest way she could think of to repay him.

He can also save more people just like Zhang Miao saved himself, and prevent the same tragedy from happening again.

Her action surprised the others, and then she shook the book in her hand.

"Don't you want to see this? Come here."

At this time, some sharp-eyed people had already noticed the name in the book.

Ursus is doomed to perish

Author: Alina.

What a treasonous book title!

These seven words alone were enough to make the Ursus nobles hang the entire family of Alina, as well as everyone who had read the book.

But the man still walked over obediently, squatted beside the other person, and tried his best to make himself look smaller.

Whether to hang or not is a matter for the future. The most important thing now is to survive.

Chapter 112: War! War!

She opened the first page of the book. Her voice was loud yet soft, perhaps speaking to the person next to her, or perhaps to all the prisoners present.

"I know what you are thinking now. You don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't do anything out of line, I won't do anything to you."

Since Zhang Miao was able to forgive her at the time, she would naturally be very tolerant. Moreover, the main culprit had been executed, and she had no grudges against these people, so why would she get angry at them?

As for what is out of line, these people also have an idea.

Perhaps because she was a mother, her tone and smile were very friendly, which made the nervous prisoners relax a little.

In the past two years, it was not just Zhang Miao's initial grievance meeting. The subsequent ideological education never stopped for a moment. From the beginning, there was only one teacher, Alina, plus the occasional guest appearances of Tallulah and Zhang Miao, to now, there are nearly a hundred teachers who can barely carry out ideological education work, and only then can ideological education for the whole people be achieved.

Including the ideological construction of the military, which is of paramount importance.

The book she was holding now was Alina's work. Although it had not been completely completed, part of it had been published.

"You have nothing to do anyway, why not come over and listen together."

A hateful person must have miserable sufferings. Not to mention this group of prisoners of war, even the troops outside are the same. They are just transferring the oppression they have suffered to the next level.

Even if we kill them all, it won't help.

There is only one way to completely solve this problem.

Only by broadening people's knowledge and allowing them to understand and think for themselves and figure out the root cause of their current predicament, can the problem be solved naturally.

In particular, there are many officers here who once listened attentively to Alina and her classmates’ lectures.

......

The bombing lasted for more than an hour. After the entire mountain was destroyed twice, there was no good land to be found. All shelters were blown up, and the ground was full of charred craters and dangerous Originium fragments. If there was no isolation equipment, there would be a high risk of infection if you took a few breaths inside.

The second round of attack began, which was also the last round of attack decided by Duke Baikal. The most taboo tactic in war is to add fuel to the fire. If you want to fight, you must gather the strongest forces as quickly as possible and then attack in one go.

Moreover, this round of bombing was not completely fruitless. Many thinner holes had been blown out.

In other words, their bombing just now was almost ineffective.

"These damn infected! They are all Zalak!"

The furious Duke directly dispatched a swarm of drones. Indeed, the Originium artillery could not reach behind the mountain, but the drones could.

Hundreds of heavy drones took off under the control of the warlocks, like bombers on landing gear. Without sufficient anti-aircraft firepower, they would be the gods of death on the battlefield.

Warlocks can observe the ground from the sky via drones, but not through monitors. Instead, they use Originium techniques to directly transmit the images observed by the drones into their own heads, turning them into their own eyes.

After that, you can use the crossbow or explosives carried by the drone to launch a projectile attack.

And the highest level of this offensive is the Ursus Warlock.

After discovering the tunnel, Alexeev immediately formulated a relevant strategy, because there were people in Terra who were good at digging holes, and RemBitto was one of them.

Even though the two sides have never fought head-on, in Ursus's eyes, everyone is an imaginary enemy.

The various arms of the Third Army complement each other and they are always preparing for war.

The shield guards are the vanguards who walk in the front. They will be the first to rush into the tunnel, launching attacks with the large shields in their hands and covering their comrades behind them. The blue light emitters on the shields can easily attract the attention of long-range enemies, thus attracting them to fire at the shields.

Following behind them were the Vanguard Elites, the special conical blades in their hands could be used as both melee weapons and short-range launchers, with very strong armor-piercing lethality. Moreover, the heavy armor on their bodies was not much worse than that of the shield guards, they just lacked a thick shield. In complex street fighting, the Vanguard Elites were the nightmare of Ursus' enemies.

Using these two as the main force to attack the tunnel, and matching them with a small number of infantry, this is already a very complete combat plan.

Outside the tunnel, large numbers of assaulters equipped with armor and standard spears and flying troops equipped with jet packs will directly cross the tunnel and climb over the mountains to launch an attack on the inside.

They are extremely fast, and the assaulters often rely on their high mobility to ram the enemy's defenses, or roam around, in short, they try to break up the enemy's formation and act like a cavalry.

The flying corps, whether equipped with drones or airdropped directly behind enemy lines, is hard to defend against.

"March!"

Following Alexeev's order, all the troops marched in unison, and several lieutenant generals led their troops to launch an attack.

Different from the new nobles, they are military nobles. Those who can become generals cannot be weak.

The sky and the ground are filled with Ursus's army. They are like a black tide swallowing up the world. In the name of the empire, they will execute all those who disobey them!

Anyone with a weaker mind, seeing the overwhelming momentum of the Third Army, would probably have fled long ago. The courage required to hold the position under the pressure of the Ursus's advance was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

The uniform footsteps made a sound of destruction when they stepped on the ground. Just as the inner guards often described, wherever they passed was the territory of Ursus.

Even the prisoners of war far away in the tunnel could hear the terrifying footsteps outside. Each footstep sounded like stepping on their hearts. They used to be soldiers of the empire, but now they had to face the empire head-on. Even with the encouragement of Kashena, they could not avoid panic.

The prisoners looked nervously at the defenders and punishers. These people were their psychological support. If even they showed cowardice, a mutiny might occur immediately.

Although they cannot see the expressions of the people inside through the helmets, they can feel their emotions.

The soldiers were excited.

The collision of excitement and the Imperial Army.

Unlike the appetizers that Kolchak had in the past, this time they were truly facing the enemy, and this was their first real battle.

But they were not the first to take action.

The tanks equipped with missiles, deployed 20 kilometers away from the battlefield, took the first action.

The closed carriage slowly lifted up, revealing a manhole cover at the front that looked like a courier cabinet, with two rows of eight.

The sound of machinery turning was heard.

The four manhole covers in the first row open upwards automatically.

hum!hum!hum!hum!

Almost at the same time, four missiles with flames at the tails rushed out quickly. In just less than a few seconds, they broke the speed of sound and headed towards their signing place.

Chapter 113: The secret weapon will give you an unexpected surprise

Because this planet was artificially built by a previous civilization, it has not undergone a long evolution of life.

Naturally, there would be no oil and large coal reserves.

After all, they are not idle, and XP is normal. Why should they inject oil into the planet? The natural generation time is too long. It is even a question whether the history of this planet is 40,000 years, so it is normal that there are no such things.

As for chemical raw materials, they have as many substitute minerals as they want, and most of them are directly generated through nuclear fusion and Dyson spheres for fusion synthesis of related elements. This is not a difficult task, but it is a pity for these native creatures, who lack substitutes and can only use source stone.

The fuel used for missiles is naturally the semi-finished product of metallic hydrogen, liquid hydrogen, and liquid oxygen.

Driven by them, the sound of the missile breaking the sound barrier resounded through the sky, drawing a white streak in the sky.

Theoretically, the range of this missile can easily exceed one thousand kilometers, and there is no need to deploy it to the front line.

......

On the deck of the Baikal.

"You said they have a secret weapon?"

Duke Baikal looked at the big scout who appeared out of nowhere and was a little skeptical of what he said. What kind of secret weapons had to be deployed more than 20 kilometers away?

But after thinking about it, he said

"Describe it to me."

"Oh."

The big bear said "oh" and pointed to the distant sky.

"That's the one."

?

The answer of Big Bear stunned the Duke of Baikal. Didn't he just say it was more than 20 kilometers away? Why did he say it was there again?

If he finds out that this soldier is playing tricks on him with false information, Baikal will make him regret being born into this world.

Confused, he turned to look in the direction the big bear pointed...

???
