    Twenty-five flying insects are wandering near the ship insect, ready to attack at any time.  However, Li Ping didn't feel at ease. In his mind, it would take at least two hundred flying insects and a large number of flying boring machines to deal with these leading spaceships.  Even though these spaceships were all involved in expeditions, which resulted in a significant decrease in maneuverability, firepower, and protection, their own side was at its weakest.  Now, apart from flying insects, there are only more than 300 flying borers. It may be somewhat effective to deal with these spaceships now, but when the large forces behind them arrive, these forces will be in danger.  The Zerg, who are at a numerical disadvantage, must be like a sniper, killing one bullet at a time, so as to most effectively reduce the number of enemies and subject themselves to the least attacks.  However, unless you are lucky, even the weakest armored ship among these ships must hit the hull twice before it loses its combat effectiveness. If it is a ship with better defense, more flying insects will be needed to focus the fire.  Once a heavily armored spaceship is not destroyed immediately, those spaceships that survive because they are diverted from the fire will launch an attack on the shipworms.  It's really frustrating to think about it. It's not that the Zerg can't defeat these space pirates. If the ship insects cooperated with the flying insects and flying boring machines, these spaceships might not be able to get close at all. But now, due to evolution, they have to be defeated by these powerful enemies.  The weak Yu Pirates suppressed him and beat him.  However, several slightly powerful attacks at this time dragged Li Ping out of his regret and annoyance. Li Ping could feel that the carapace of the shipworm only turned a little red, but it quickly cooled down and he was basically unharmed.  .  But this also shows that as the distance gets closer, the damage of the weapons on those spaceships increases. Li Ping has no doubt that if the distance is close enough and the number of attacks is enough, these spaceships can completely penetrate the shipworms like alloy armor.  Thick carapace.  If it is approached by so many space pirate spacecraft, it will definitely be wiped out by these spaceships using the ant-eating-elephant tactic.  Soon, another batch of thousands of flying boring machines on the planet took off to support. It seems that the insect nests on the planet have begun to enter the state.  "Very good! Although the flying boring machine does not have strong attack power, it reproduces quickly. As long as there are more of them, it can cause damage to those spaceships." Li Ping was very happy as he watched the insect nest he dropped on the planet begin to enter its state.  Now every additional combat power is good.  "It's a pity that there is not enough energy and material on this planet, and time is short. If the insect nest is in full bloom, it can hatch 100,000 flying borings at a time." Louise said with some pity at this time.  "Alas, there is no other way. Let's fight with all our strength." Li Ping thought that if it really didn't work, he could only let his consciousness escape back to the reserve base.  At the same time, all five back bases, including the moon, were activated simultaneously.  In this way, after Li Ping's fleet is wiped out, he can immediately start reproducing the Zerg army.  With the increasingly intensive attacks, the flying insects directly killed the spacecraft at the front with one energy cannon, and then waited for the spacecraft behind to approach the most suitable range at present - 300,000 kilometers.  As soon as those spaceships enter this range, the flying insect energy cannons used by the large spaceships will never show mercy!  As the first few spaceships were wiped out by a concentrated fire, the spaceships at the back obviously no longer sprinted wildly, but began to adjust their speed and formed a front with other spaceships.  Soon some flying boring machines were hit by intensive probing fire.  Of course, Fei Boring, who only had light armor, could not withstand these attacks. He was instantly beaten in half, and the worst case was smashed directly. The fragments of Fei Boring's limbs were floating in the space, as well as those that were instantly evaporated and frozen by the low pressure and low temperature of the universe.  body fluid.  The atmosphere on the Zerg side is even more solemn. These bugs seem to be trying their best to suppress their overwhelming anger and impatience, and their fierce compound eyes are glaring at the overestimating space thieves.  Soon, the distance between the two sides exceeded 10,000 kilometers. This was when the opponent's firepower suddenly became fierce. This distance was a standard firing line in space battles. As the mainstream weapons of these space pirates, this distance was just right.  The attack that was strengthened at this moment, except for a lot of unlucky flying insects, only caused some slight damage to the carapace of the ship insects. At this time, all Li Ping's flying insects locked on their respective targets, and then quietly  Silent emission.  The Zerg's counterattack seemed to start from this moment. Suddenly, the flying insects and flying boring machines began to sprint towards each other with all their strength. A long dark green light belt was produced behind the jet propulsion bag, which extended to the opposite side.  In a battle in the universe, unless the distance is as close as a few hundred meters, otherwise, in most cases, weapons are used to shoot at each other, either particle cannons, laser cannons, or weapons such as missiles, and close combat.  There are very few cases like these bugs from Li Ping, which were really fierce battles with the air force on the earth. After that battle was won, the data collected allowedThe capabilities of the flying bugs of the ? clan have more than doubled, especially in aerial combat.  And after ten years of improvement, these bugs are also extremely good at fighting in the universe.  Their irregular maneuvers coupled with the phased radar array composed of a large number of flying boring machines and flying insects networked together allow them to avoid most attacks.  Although these space thieves have information in their hands, they have never seen with their own eyes a creature that can survive or even sail in the universe, and they did not expect that these Zerg can fly so fast, facing a creature more powerful than themselves.  The twice as many insects suddenly became panicked.  This moment of panic was caught by the Zerg, and the flying insects that re-stored energy instantly cut off the high-density magnetic field in the energy cannon's energy storage ring. The suddenly cut off magnetic flux violently pushed the red energy inside at a speed close to light.  Throwing it forward, along the long guide thorn at the tip of the energy cannon, the red energy was launched in the shape of a shuttle, trailing behind it a short trail that looked like particles and lightning.  "It's a pity that the energy supply devices of these space pirates' spaceships are just "enough". In other words, if the protective layer is turned on at full power, the weapons and thrusters will have to limit the power, and the same goes for everything else.  These fast-running spaceships just have enhanced propulsion devices on the basis of ordinary ones, and the rest are basically unchanged, just like some have enhanced weapons and some have enhanced protection.  Before they had time to switch to protection mode, energy shells hit them in an instant.  Without the barrier of the protective layer, these energy cannonballs penetrated directly through the surface armor and brutally penetrated into the interior of the spacecraft.  Then, several bursts of light flashed, and these spacecraft were either broken into half, or their fusion power furnaces were directly detonated, completely turning into cosmic garbage.  Suddenly, these space thieves were scared. They had never seen this type of attack before. It was not a laser, nor did it look like a particle weapon.  Molecular concussion weapons did have the effect of smashing targets into pieces, but the effective range of less than ten kilometers made them directly deny it.  "Antimatter weapons? No, that's not right!" Among these spaceships, a space thief in an ordinary spaceship muttered with a pale face.  If Li Ping saw him, he would definitely be surprised, because he is a completely earthly person.  If Li Ping could analyze his genes, he would also find that the genes of this space thief are 99.98% similar to the genes of people on Earth.  This similarity, coupled with his appearance, makes it absolutely certain that he is a genuine earthling.  After all, humanoid civilized creatures also have very different appearances. This difference can be seen at a glance as long as they are human.  It is impossible to find an individual with a genetic similarity of more than 99.88% and an appearance similarity of more than 99.99% between two civilized races, unless it is a civilization of the same race that has just separated from the same civilization.  This earthling's name is Paz. As the captain of the Endeavor spacecraft, he completely regards the spacecraft as his wife and children. He is not willing to let it get hurt at all. He always starts maintenance before the maintenance period. Various  The accessories are even more generous.  But the current situation was so urgent that he couldn't take care of the spaceship for the time being. He knew that if he didn't make a decision now, he would probably become cosmic dust along with the spaceship.  If all lives are lost, there is still a use for keeping the spaceship.  "What should I do, boss? These things are too weird, and they don't look like laser cannons." A thick-looking alien asked angrily, with some nervousness in his tone.  "I'd rather hope it's a laser cannon!" Paz said with a wry smile. At least I still understand a little bit about laser cannons (alien language, automatically translated into earth language, no wonder).  But now, he has never encountered this kind of attack. The speed is a bit like a laser attack, the effect is like a molecular shock weapon, and there are even some effects like particle attacks. Paz feels that he has never been afraid of death, but today  But he was a little timid.  The alarm sounded again, and the second attack came again. He felt that this time he might have been favored by the universe because he did not kill civilians. This time, he was lucky. An energy cannonball passed by his spaceship, killing the people behind him.  An unlucky spaceship blew itself up and turned into cosmic dust.  Feeling the violent shock, Paz instinctively shouted: "Report the damage!" His subordinates and companions who had been trained in the ordinary life and death situation showed their good qualities at this time.  Reports began one after another.  After listening to the report, he took a big gulp of the smelly regenerated air in the ship. "It was just a scratch that destroyed the first layer of armor, or was it completely?!" Paz thought, what would happen if the entire ship was hit?  ?  For a moment, the idea of ??retreat began to form in his mind.  Looking at the various intelligence and data on the tactical screen, he suddenlyIt turns out that the first priority to be attacked are the spaceships that are at the front, or that are always trying to rush forward. Some spaceships at the back are obviously temporarily let go. This is obviously not a distinction between targets according to the degree of threat.  .  Under normal circumstances, targets with high threats should be dealt with first, and then those with low threats. Could it be "Slow down the engine, brake 15%!" The sudden order did not make this group of space thieves panic. On the contrary, these space thieves were all  Act faithfully according to the captain's order, "Yes! Slow down the engine and brake 15%!".  The reason why the spacecraft pretended to be a safe deceleration after its power was damaged was because he wanted to confirm his suspicion.  As the spaceships flew forward one after another, some space pirates began to wonder what the captain was up to, and a strange and quiet atmosphere began to spread in the cabin.  However, after a while, they all knew that they had been saved by the captain again. The ships that rushed forward faster than them were set on fire by insects.  Although only 7 spaceships were lost, no one wants to become those fragments.  "Sure enough, these bugs want to stop us from moving forward. Stop the engine and slow down by 50%!" "Yes! Stop the engine and slow down by 50%!" After shouting the confirmation order, the adjutant asked, "But, captain, why do you want to stop?"  "These bugs are stopping us from moving forward." As if to confirm, these bugs suddenly began to scatter around when they were thousands of kilometers away from the spacecraft, and there happened to be an asteroid belt, which was very suitable for those petite bugs to hide.  "They are trying to contain us. If we move forward directly, they will attack from the sides and rear. If we cooperate with other bugs that may be hiding in the front to attack, we will be besieged. Once the opponent's combat effectiveness is not as weak as the data says,  Then we may be destroyed before we can get reinforcements." After watching the Zerg's actions, Paz became even more convinced of his guess.  "If we attack them, this asteroid belt will delay us for a long time." The adjutant on the side appropriately pointed out another aspect of the contradiction.  "Why delay? Wouldn't it be better to attack directly? Their attacks are very strong and weird. It doesn't seem difficult to deal with us, right?" The jump controller on the other side joined the discussion because he had no work.  "Protecting something? Is there something important on the other side?" "Or is it just territorial awareness? It may be a warning, maybe."  Endeavor, which has completely fallen behind, has no possibility of being hit at this time.  Of course, all the early warning equipment was still working, so Zhongyu Pirates, who had relaxed for the time being, began to discuss the problem.  Don't say that there is no room for distractions on the battlefield. Although a profession like Yu Pirates has a free life and sometimes good luck and may reap huge rewards, it is a profession that always hangs its head on its belt. You don't know when you will  You might lose your life.  "If you keep your nerves tense all the time, even aliens will suffer from schizophrenia. Therefore, if a space thief doesn't learn to enjoy hardships and take a break from busy work, he won't be able to last long.  So just look at those cosmonauts, like the cosmonauts on the Endeavor. Those who can discuss issues leisurely during the war are experienced veterans, and those who survive in the end are often their group.  So, just as the battle at the front had eased somewhat, a heartless discussion started here.  Finally, some things were discussed, that is, there are two most likely purposes of those bugs: one is related to the target; the other is not related to the target.  Of course, the conclusions these Yu Pirates can draw are pretty good, and we can¡¯t expect them to come up with any profound conclusions.  However, they all unanimously agreed with the captain's decision to temporarily retreat.  "Okay, it's decided. Then, 'Magician', disguise the engine. It is estimated that the second batch will come up." The 'Magician' in his mouth is the nickname of the engine technician, mainly because he can magically  After simple "repairs", the intact engine turned into a damaged or even scrapped engine, which even technicians several levels higher than him could not find.  This technique, which is like ancient magic, gave him the title "Magician".  "Haha, okay, every time I see those hypocritical and arrogant bullshit technicians looking like they are eating shit, I can take a few more tubes of nutritional supplements." Paz always thought that this reason was the real reason why he studied engine technology.  In fact, almost everyone dislikes licensed technicians.  ;
