    Originally, the guidance worms did not do much damage to these spacecrafts, and the space pirates were not too worried. At worst, the landing point would be deviated. However, as soon as the flying insects got involved, these space pirates could not calm down. Fifteen flying insects fired at once.  Two medium-sized spacecraft were immediately destroyed. After being hit by the nuclear fusion furnace, these spaceships turned into a sky full of fire, smoke and debris.  The frightened Yu Pirates wanted to dodge, but the density of spaceships in the landing formation was not small, and there was not much room for dodge. If the dodge was too strong, it would be tragic to collide with other people's spaceships.  In addition, more than five ships were seriously injured. If the Zerg did not temporarily understand the impact of the plasma layer on the energy cannon, and many flying insects were killed when they retreated, the losses of these space pirates would have been doubled.  The seriously injured spaceship gradually broke away from the formation, dragging thick smoke, and fell into the distance. One look showed that the space pirate inside would definitely not feel well.  This Zerg raid directly led to a reduction in the density of space pirate landings. One-third of the landing spaceships landed outside the predetermined area, and some even had only one solitary crash-landing in the wilderness. These lonely spaceships,  It can be said to be the most tender fat for the Zerg.  A small number of space pirates in orbit who have not yet had time to land know the threat of flying insects, but have no intention of helping. In their opinion, there are still too many people in this mission. Seventy-eight spacecraft of various types,  The reward is not excessive at all.  In their estimation, about half of the spacecraft have just the right number to complete the mission and generate enough benefits.  Looking at the gradually decreasing number of spaceships in the sky and the increasing firepower on the ground, Li Ping decisively withdrew these bugs. After all, the harassment mission had been completed, and he accidentally killed two spacecrafts.  However, in addition to the loss of thirty-six flying insects, only three of the fifteen flying insects sent over were left. There was no way, who made the flying insects' main guns powerful, so all the pirates put their primary target on the flying insects.  On the insect.  In fact, Li Ping is also very distressed. After all, flying insects take a long time to hatch, and each one consumes a lot of organic matter and life energy.  If this material and energy were left behind, more terrestrial populations could be reproduced.  However, compared to the losses suffered by the Yu Pirates, Li Ping felt that his losses were relatively small. After all, every time the Yu Pirates lost a spaceship, Li Ping eliminated them faster on land. Although the situation of the Zerg is much better now.  , but there is also the threat of the second batch of space thieves.  Li Ping must deal with these space thieves within the next ten hours, clean up the battlefield, and then take off and run away.  It wasn't that he didn't want to deal with the second batch of space thieves, but that Li Ping got some information from the memories of the crew on the unlucky assault boat just now.  This information is that the second batch of space thieves will be mixed with a large number of mercenary troops.  If the Yu Pirates are gangsters who are strong on the outside, then the mercenaries are the underworld with strict rules, and the fighting capabilities of the two sides are completely different.  Just like in Yu Pirates, although there are many types of weapons, they are generally not very powerful.  Because the Yupi family has a weak financial background and is generally small in scale, it can only support some simple and cheap weapons, such as laser cannons, proton cannons, electronic cannons, and electromagnetic cannons.  However, the power of laser cannons is insufficient, the range and accuracy of proton cannons and electron cannons are low, and electromagnetic guns require high-power energy and high-quality projectiles. These factors limit the strength of Yuthief, making Yuthief can only accept some weapons suitable for small  Gangster's mission.  For example, threatening lower civilizations, stealing some lone transport ships, etc., or accepting employment as mercenaries, or taking huge risks to apply for tasks from the Arbitration Council.  And their weapons are more than enough for their tasks. There is no need at all, and they do not have the ability to equip better equipment and more powerful weapons. There are very few situations like the wanted Zerg that involve the entire universe and society.  .  The assault boat and the spaceships with laser cannons belong to a small mercenary organization, and the threat to the Zerg is obviously much higher than that of the space pirates.  Unlike being a pirate, mercenaries are a relatively formal profession, at least officially recognized by most civilizations, which means they have a license.  Moreover, compared to Yu Pirates, mercenaries are also larger in scale and have more resources at their disposal.  The smallest space pirate can be just a small spaceship modified for civilian use, and the largest space pirate is thousands of spaceships, most of which are small civilian-modified or third-hand military spacecraft, and only a small part are medium-sized modified or second-hand spacecraft.  spaceship.  But among the mercenaries, even the weakest mercenaries have at least one station. A large civilian ship that has served within 50 years or a large retired military ship that has served within 100 years serves as a flagship, and the troops underneath it also have  There are thousands of medium and small retired warships.  Some large mercenary groups even have many soldiers on active duty in higher civilized armies.With warships and warships developed by oneself, except for the number of people, the economic and military strength are no worse than some small civilizations.  Mercenaries Mercenaries, although they have freedom of movement, are still soldiers.  The people in the mercenary organization, in addition to regular retired soldiers, are mercenaries for generations, and their discipline and combat power are not on the same level as Yu Pirates.  Another difference between mercenaries and space thieves is that most of the missions they receive are war missions. They are either assisting civilized regular armies in fighting wars, crusading against some civilizations or forces, or engaging in extremely dangerous interstellar exploration.  And there is a highly effective agreement between the mercenary organization and the mercenaries, which binds both parties.  Under the influence of the Arbitration Council, the rules between mercenary organizations are very clear. The rise and fall of mercenary organizations and the flow of mercenaries have been running smoothly according to this set of rules for a long time.  Sadly, in the head of the captain of the assault boat, Li Ping learned that the Laja people who were wiped out by a human anti-matter bomb turned out to be a member of the royal family.  Moreover, the entire civilization of the Lajia tribe issued a wanted order for Li Ping and the Zerg tribe with extremely high rewards. For a time, no matter whether it was space thieves, mercenaries, or even a few small-scale lower civilizations, they all participated.  These mercenaries among the pirates are just some of the mercenaries who came out to investigate first. Only in the second batch will more reliable mercenary organizations appear.  After four or five batches, those truly powerful mercenary groups will arrive.  "The further ahead, the more preparation time the Zerg have, the stronger the opponent will be. According to the extracted memories, the Zerg must get rid of the entanglement before the third batch of space thieves arrive.  Soon, all the bugs that raided came back. The losses were great, but the gains were not small. This broke the plan of the Yu Pirates to concentrate their efforts on establishing a base area at the beginning.  However, from Scouting¡¯s perspective, Li Ping saw that some pirates had not established a base at all, but were just building a simple parking and supply location.  "It seems that these people are planning to use spaceships to attack the planet." Seeing that most of them started to build bases and even simple factories, Li Ping found that he had taken it for granted before, "I almost forgot that spaceships can also attack within the planet."  It is used on the surface of the planet. But most of them are prepared to fight on land, so that¡¯s good!¡± ¡°Master, the thermonuclear guide worms have begun to hatch. However, the reserves of nuclear fusion raw materials here are too small.¡± ¡°Well, there is no way.  "The magnetic field of this planet is too strong and it is far away from the star, so it is difficult for high-energy rays to reach the surface." Li Ping knew that many of the nuclear fusion materials on the surface and in the ocean are obtained from the high-energy rays of stars.  Those high-energy rays on ordinary planets are mainly radioactive elements that can only be used as raw materials for nuclear fission.  However, because there are more radioactive heavy nuclear elements in the core of this planet, the geological activity of this planet is very strong, and there is enough geothermal heat for the Zerg to use.  "Then use the high-energy fat reserves." They are all energy anyway, so which one is different?  Most of these space pirate spacecraft are small spacecraft, only a few hundred meters in length, and the longest is more than a thousand meters, which is very suitable for activities on the surface of the planet.  However, as the regeneration of the shipworms gradually improves, coupled with the large number of plasma-type anti-aircraft colonies on the carpet, Li Ping can rest assured that the base will not be directly attacked by those space pirate spacecraft.  "Well, I got it." According to the current reserves of high-energy fat, it is enough energy to support the current scale of insect nests to reproduce bugs for at least a month.  "Also, let me know when the latent bugs hatch out, and I'll study this thing now." Li Ping stared at a piece of equipment and said without knowing his head.  "Okay." In fact, Li Ping and Louise can communicate without using voices and directly using their mental power. However, when in human form, Li Ping is still more accustomed to vocal communication.  Placed in front of Li Ping is a device that is as tall as one person. It looks like a combination of a cylinder and a cone. There is a small opening at the front end of the cone.  There was a circle of ruby-like shiny things around the small mouth.  This is the device used to generate plasma shield.  Although it only generates an ion shield in front with a weak protective ability, and the duration is only about 30 seconds, it is still too advanced for Yu Pirates.  The protective layer generator commonly used by space thieves, due to insufficient power, can only block some small momentum kinetic energy weapons in addition to isolating a certain temperature. For laser cannons, charged particle cannons such as protons and electrons, etc.  No protective capabilities.  But a shield composed of plasma, as long as it has enough power, can completely defend against laser cannons, charged particle cannons, neutron cannons, plasma cannons and even laser cannons.  And it can only defend one side of the plasma shield, or the plasma shield that defends the entire sphere.??Can be penetrated by particle concussion cannons, and no one type of various weapons and equipment is absolutely superior to others.  Li Ping got all these things from Yu Thief's memory, but there was only this simple information. After all, with Yu Thief's knowledge, he could only know this. If he wanted to know more details, he would have to rely on Li Ping himself.  Researched.  As for the purpose of Li Ping's research, it is just intellectual curiosity.  He knew what the Zerg's advantages were and would never add plasma shields to the Zerg. He was only studying it to find out how to deal with it and make preparations for the future.  However, you can consider adding a plasma shield to your mothership to increase its survivability.  By controlling cells, Li Ping can turn his hands into various tools, so that he can fumble to dismantle the device. Anyway, after cutting off the energy supply, there is no threat, so Li Ping is not too careful.  However, after all, it was an alien thing. Li Ping searched for a long time but couldn't find anything like screws. The whole device seemed to be a whole.  Li Ping knows that this is because the quality of the equipment is good and it is basically unlikely to break during the service life. The broken ones are basically long beyond the service life.  There is really no other way. Li Ping can only use brute force to dismantle the device. After all, he doesn¡¯t have much time, and there are still a group of space thieves waiting for him to solve.  Li Ping stood up, came to the shipworm, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the shipworm's carapace, and then the carapace began to change and squirm, and Li Ping's hand sank into the carapace as if it were reaching into water.  Then he tugged hard, and there was a dark dagger in his hand.  This is the same weapon that Li Ping built for himself by taking advantage of the Zerg's high-frequency capabilities.  The high-frequency wave ability has been strengthened, and Li Ping can use Li Ping's own mental power to stimulate powerful high-frequency waves. It has extremely powerful cutting ability. Apart from silicon crystal, Li Ping has never encountered anything that cannot be cut with a dagger.  Weighing the heavy dagger in his hand, Li Ping walked back slowly, thinking about where to start. After all, this kind of thing must be very precise, and there is no extra space inside. If he cuts too hard, it will be very dangerous.  Parts inside may be damaged.  After squatting on the ground and watching for a long time, Li Ping finally stopped showing off his mechanical knowledge and directly used the "invincible artifact" in his hand - spiritual power.  Li Ping skillfully controlled his mental power to penetrate his body, directly penetrating the shell of the device.  This is a very common high-temperature resistant alloy. Li Ping had encountered it on the original spacecraft. Its formula and even its production process had already been studied in detail by Louise.  Through this layer of high-temperature-resistant metal, there is a layer of lead alloy next to it. However, it seems that Li Ping has not encountered another substance of the alloy.  "Huh? What element is this? It doesn't conform to the periodic table of elements at all." Li Ping said with some confusion, "Is it an independent element outside the periodic table of elements like element 99?" Or the one found on the earth  Is there a mysterious alternative periodic table of elements outside the periodic table?  Maybe there are many other things that the Zerg have not discovered.  Suddenly, a picture like this suddenly appeared in Li Ping's mind: a group of insects gathered around, chattering and discussing Fourier transform and the theory of relativity Weird!  Very strange.  However, this sudden idea also made Li Ping realize that he seemed to be using human concepts to develop the Zerg.  In fact, Li Ping also knows that for the Zerg, the best way to develop, and at the same time the most labor-saving for Li Ping, is to let the Zerg adapt to the environment, absorb the genes, and then evolve.  However, this will take an extremely long time. For now, Li Ping's current method is the fastest way to develop the strength of the Zerg.  "Forget it, who calls me the master? I have to worry about these things" Before Li Ping could finish sighing, Louise's notice came.  "Master, the first batch of twelve latent bugs has hatched." "Oh? Already healed? So fast! Call them over" Before Li Ping finished speaking, he glanced at the equipment on the ground, "Forget it.  Well, let me go over there. Louise, where are they?¡±;
