Chapter 115 Joint Operation, Discovery of the Queen Mother
The battle against the Zerg has been in a stalemate for years. Humans are on the offensive, while the Zerg are rapidly expanding in another direction, gaining manpower to support the front lines.
Moreover, the ongoing war has actually catalyzed the evolution of the Zerg, and now bio-warships are beginning to appear on the Zerg side.
Therefore, Fang Heng also prepared to launch a surprise attack on the Queen in the core area of the Zerg.
However, this plan had not been implemented before.
On the one hand, their own military capabilities were not adequately prepared; on the other hand, the existence of an enemy allowed them to maintain a good cooperative relationship with the Earth Federation.
Now that our military is fully equipped and the population migration is almost complete, it's time to start the final battle and completely eliminate the Zerg threat.
And most importantly, there are speculations about other civilizations.
Through genetic research on the alien insects, some anomalies have been found in recent years, leading researchers to speculate that there must be a more advanced civilization behind these alien insects.
However, there is currently no conclusive evidence to prove this hypothesis, and samples of the Zerg Queen are still needed to know the true answer.
Under various circumstances, Fang Heng no longer wanted to wait and directly contacted the Earth Federation to launch a joint operation to completely destroy the Zerg Queen.
The Earth Federation quickly responded, agreeing to Fang Heng's plan. However, the specific details still needed to be discussed in detail, and it would also take time to assemble the troops.
A week later, Fang Heng's representatives arrived in the Sirius system, a colony of the Earth Alliance and an important trading system. Here, representatives from both sides held their first meeting before the joint operation.
The negotiations lasted for three days. After both sides had discussed all the details, they began to assemble their forces.
The mission assignment was simple: after both sides arrived at the Heng system where the mother nest was located by warp drive, they launched attacks from two different directions.
Both sides will share the progress of the attack along the way, and then meet up on the planet where the Queen Mother is located.
Due to technological limitations, these Zerg can only travel from one planet to the next via conventional means of navigation. Therefore, there is no need to worry about support from these Zerg. We can simply start from the outer reaches of the star system and advance layer by layer from the outside in.
A week later, the Earth Federation's forces were fully assembled, and Fang Heng's side also received the news and immediately issued a mobilization order.
"Ethan, notify the First Fleet to assemble and prepare for battle."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as the order was given, all the warships that were originally docked at the starport started their engines to warm up.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the starport, a massive number of marines began boarding the ships, a dark mass stretching as far as the eye could see.
In this operation, Fang Heng's forces consisted of two battleships, five cruisers, ten destroyers, and twenty frigates, while the remaining fleet remained on Neptune Star to handle defense.
In addition, 5 newly recruited Marines also participated in the operation.
These 5 Marines are directly recruited individuals, and each individual is equipped with two clones and three robots, meaning a total of 10 Marines will join the battlefield.
Once everyone had boarded, all the warships immediately departed the starport.
"Report: The guide spacecraft has arrived at the scene. The space zone ahead is clear. Jump can be initiated."
"Very good, order: all warships, activate mass warp and prepare to warp."
"yes!"
With the order given, all warships completed the warp mode switch.
"Report: The swarm is ready to jump."
"Initiate the leap!"
"Wow!!!"
As a massive streak of light appeared, the fleet that had gathered near the starport vanished instantly.
Some time later, on the outskirts of the Heng star system where the Zerg Queen resided.
At this moment, in the middle of the fleet, on the Punishment ship which was being used as a stopgap measure, Fang Heng was checking the situation in the Heng system.
"I never expected that this place, as the Zerg's stronghold, would be managed so well."
Fang Heng was also very surprised when he saw the data returned by the detector.
Within this star system, a rudimentary form of a symbiotic system similar to that of insect swarms has emerged. On some planets, spore-like structures have begun to appear, continuously converting inorganic matter into organic matter to supply the alien insects.
"Commander, according to the model calculations, if these Zerg are given another hundred years, they will be able to develop a basic level of civilization consciousness and thus become a true Zerg civilization."
"I don't think this change happened a long time ago, right?"
"No, according to the investigation, this change should have occurred after that one established a consciousness connection with Jenkins."
"It seems they've absorbed the ideas of human civilization's development, which is why they've started to become like this. But from this perspective, the potential of these alien insects is indeed immense."
"Commander, according to the probes, the Earth Federation fleet has arrived on the other side of this star system."
"It seems they've all arrived. Notify Li Yong to contact them and discuss the specifics of the attack."
"yes!"
Li Yong and the other party discussed things very quickly, since many details had already been agreed upon beforehand, and this was just a final confirmation.
"Commander, this is the detailed attack plan. The commander on the Earth Alliance side this time is Johnny Rick."
"Oh, one of the Iron Triangle, is it Carmen and Karl who are here too?"
"No relevant information has been obtained at this time."
"Then let's ignore them and begin the attack according to plan."
"Yes, Commander."
Soon, Li Yong issued the order to attack.
As all the warships entered warp drive, the entire fleet swiftly penetrated the interior of the Heng system and arrived at its target location.
The Heng system, where the Zerg Queen resides, has a total of eight planets, which are very similar to our solar system.
The Queen Mother's position is on the third planet.
Although there are many alien insects on other planets, Li Yong ignored them.
Without warp drive technology, as long as they move fast enough, they can capture or kill the Queen before Zerg reinforcements arrive.
As the fleet arrived at the third planet, the Zerg immediately discovered the intruders and soon a large number of plasma bombs rose from the planet's surface.
Meanwhile, inside the planet, numerous biological warships emerged and charged towards the fleet.
"Report: Zerg warship detected. All targets locked."
"Report, ground plasmaworms have been located."
"Launch an attack and wipe out these bugs."
"yes!"
"Outer perimeter defense escorts, launch an immediate attack and eliminate all invading Zerg warships. Destroyers, activate defensive firepower and eliminate all plasma bugs and plasma bombs."
"Escort fleet received!"
"Destroyer fleet received!"
The next moment, missiles and lasers flew together throughout the entire fleet, with electromagnetic cannons firing in between, making the battlefield suddenly lively.
"boom!"
With a series of explosions, the Zerg's biological warships were destroyed by a barrage of missiles and electromagnetic cannons before they could even get close.
At the same time, the destroyer entered the planet's orbit and began orbital bombardment.
"All targets locked. Deploy the fusion bomb and clear the battlefield."
"Prepare to establish a landing point and activate air clearance mode!"
With a series of orders issued, all the warships in the fleet except for battleships and cruisers went into overdrive, clearing out the surrounding star field and eliminating all threats.
Meanwhile, the planet's surface was also cleaned up by the orbital bombardment, and the Zerg on the ground were almost wiped out. The orbital bombardment also completely compacted the ground and destroyed all the underground passages.
"Landing point cleared, landing operation can begin."
"Yes, the transport ship is in position, firepower ready, to prevent Zerg sneak attacks."
As the modified transport ship entered orbit, countless landing craft began to be deployed, and landing craft were also airdropped into orbit. The sky was filled with airdrop pods.
"Boom boom boom!"
The airdrop pods were undoubtedly much faster than landing craft. As each airdrop pod crashed to the ground, the clones and robots inside poured out and quickly gathered together, soon creating a safe landing site.
"The landing craft will arrive in 10 seconds. Everyone on alert."
Upon seeing the message on his personal terminal, a clone soldier immediately issued an order.
In the distance, countless alien insects appeared and began rushing towards this direction.
"Zerg have appeared. Calling in orbital bombardment. Coordinates are as follows."
After the support call was completed, countless streams of light descended from the sky, instantly annihilating the swarm of alien insects that were rushing towards them from not far away.
"The landing ship has arrived, and all heavy equipment has landed. Everyone, deploy according to plan. Reconnaissance company, locate the Queen Mother's position."
As all the landing ships landed, Marine Corps Commander Farrow arrived on the scene and immediately issued orders.
"Yes, sir!"
The robot adjutant immediately made the arrangements, and soon a small team left the main force, entered stealth mode, and quickly headed to the location of the Queen Mother to conduct reconnaissance.
Because Fang Heng often took Ethan on tours to various places, many of his senior commanders and dignitaries followed suit and preferred the same configuration.
At first, it was just a case of the top influencing the bottom, but as the intelligence of these robotic assistants began to evolve, they also found that having such robotic assistants was indeed very convenient. All kinds of data needed within their authority could be reported quickly and accurately, greatly reducing their workload.
A day later, the exact location of the Queen Mother was confirmed by the reconnaissance team.
After seeing the location, Farrow nodded in satisfaction.
"Order the troops to advance along this route. Inform the warships on the track to clear a path for us and reduce the obstacles."
"Yes, sir."
