Chapter 3114

An unequal war.

Nearly ten days have passed since the first day of the invasion.

During the ten days, thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers died every day at the hands of mechanical soldiers and some monsters.

Although the Earth civilization has also paid... possibly a heavy price, the commander feels that the outcome of this war is not optimistic.

The surface temperature of the earth is too damn cold. With a surface temperature of minus eighty or ninety degrees Celsius, even the octopus monster that can withstand harsh environments feels very exhausted.

Especially now the wind on the surface is very strong. When the wind is blowing at dozens of degrees below zero, it will quickly take away the heat in the body.

Octopus monsters are not sunflower monsters. They cannot withstand such bad weather. When their skin is exposed to the air for too long, they will get frostbite.

Once they get frostbite, it will become very troublesome, even if they have prepared a large amount of supplies to deal with various possible casualties.

But for the Earth civilization, the low temperature did not cause them unbearable consequences.

The materials, lubricants, and circuits of the robots perform very well under low temperature conditions. It can even be said that the lower the temperature, the better the performance of these mechanical warriors.

They will not be afraid to grab a weapon with their hands just because the weapon has been exposed to the air for a long time and the temperature has dropped to dozens of degrees below zero.

You will not need to wear thick cold-proof clothing due to fear of the cold, which will cause inconvenience in movement.

These extremely agile mechanical soldiers, who can run and jump in the snow and ice without even wearing clothes, have become the most troublesome enemies the octopus monsters have ever encountered over the years.

In such extremely bad weather, they are no match for the robot soldiers. Even if the octopus monsters' weapons are more advanced, it is difficult to crush the robot soldiers.

Now the only thing that can ensure the safety of the ground attack fortress is the space battleship in the sky.

These space battleships will use their main guns to attack the robot soldiers on the ground near the fortress to ensure the safety of the ground command core.

But this kind of persistence cannot last too long.

Because energy is limited.

The existence of the octopus monster does go beyond human beings’ understanding of the past, but it does not go beyond human beings’ understanding of the essence.

Even if gods are resurrected and higher-level life forms awaken from long sleep, they must still abide by the most basic principles of the universe.

equivalence.

What you have and what you release are equal. Energy cannot be created out of thin air, but will disappear due to use.

Originally, they thought that this invasion war might end in three days.

As is their custom with backward civilizations, they will directly attack the political core of the most powerful country and then make an announcement to the world through this core.

Then the space battleship fired a few shots at some unconvinced countries, and the war was over.

But it's different here.

The civilizations on Earth are all hiding underground. Although concrete and high-strength steel plates are not able to withstand the attacks of naval guns, it is still a troublesome task to find them.

Whether it's thermal imaging, infrared, or any other search method, everything is cold and dead silent.

Without a goal, the plan cannot proceed.

At the same time, the warfare technology of the Earth civilization is also astonishing. These mechanical soldiers that come in succession like ants and surge like the sea make the commander feel cold in his heart every time he sees them!

"We only have two paths to go now."

"First, evacuate here immediately, and then request support. The support will arrive here in about five cosmic months."

"During this time, we can retreat to the edge of the solar system and establish a forward outpost to prepare for subsequent invasions."

"The benefit is that we can temporarily avoid this unfamiliar war. At the same time, with more supplies and soldiers, we can take the initiative on the front battlefield."

"As for the downside..." The commander blinked his round eyes, "We won't receive any rewards after we return, even if we conquer this galaxy."

Everyone knows this. An entire fleet was beaten so badly that it didn't even dare to stay on the surface and fled directly back to the edge of the galaxy to wait for help.

No matter whether it is the emperor of the empire or the apostles, they will think that it has tarnished the majesty of the empire/god, and forget about promotion or upgrade. Not being severely punished may be the best result.

As the commander's confidants, these captains might be demoted one or two levels, and only a very small number of those with outstanding military achievements could remain unchanged.

The captains remained silent, and it was clear that they did not support this decision.

"The second option is that we are prepared to fight a long ground war."

"I will have the fleet come down and send some engineering machinery to the ground. We will build various military buildings here, mine, produce energy, build weapons, and even... breed."

Although the octopus monsters seem to be able to leave the water and walk upright, they actually still retain the core ability of the octopus reproductive system in terms of reproduction, which is egg-laying.

An adult female octopus will produce an egg sac every year starting from adulthood, and one egg sac contains about 50,000 to 200,000 follicles.

All it takes is for the follicles to be fertilized and they will hatch into octopus monsters.

It takes about six years for a baby octopus to grow into an adult, and if given enough food, they will grow very quickly.

There are over 100 million frozen follicles in the fleet, and there are also many adult females, as well as a large number of males.

They are fully capable of breeding here, and it only takes ten cosmic months for these newborns to be able to fight.

"The second option actually has no benefit. The only benefit is that it will allow His Majesty the Emperor and the apostles to see our determination to conquer this galaxy!"

"Even if they think we lost the war, as long as we completed the mission in the end, they will never find any reason to blame us."

"We can't always have a favorable battle. We will always encounter enemies who are similar to us or even stronger than us."

The Commander has never fought against silicon-based life, and there is no silicon-based life in this universe.

Therefore, these incredibly flexible machine soldiers make it difficult for them to judge the difficulty of subsequent wars.

You may say that Earth's civilization is very powerful, but they have just stepped out of their own planet and have not even completed the exploration and colonization of their own galaxy.

You may say that they are weak, but they are so far ahead in terms of warfare, whether it is war weapons or strategies and tactics.

So this is very difficult to judge. If reinforcements arrive and it is discovered that the Earth civilization is not a strong military civilization, they will definitely be labeled as "waste".

So it still wants to hold on, since the Empire has given it two cosmic years to do this.

After finally reaching a consensus, everyone felt that it was worth giving it another try.

The commander then ordered some of the ships to lower their altitude and began attempting to build a city.

This is a big project. They actually have robots, but these robots don’t look... very smart.

All of this was seen by Aurora through Lynch's mental power.

"They plan to take root on Earth." Aurora's eyes were always glowing, and countless robot soldiers were calling on its computing power. Now the total computing power was always maintained at around 80% of the power.

The remaining 20 percent is reserved just to deal with emergencies.

Lynch sat in a high-back chair, his face looking a little pale. He hadn't had a rest for a long time since the outbreak of the war.

Sometimes I really can’t stand it, so I inject some medicine to get through it.

Lynch rubbed his temple and said, "This is a good thing. As long as they are not in a hurry to leave, we have a chance to keep them all."

There is no problem in driving the enemy away. The current Earth can barely do it, but driving the enemy away does not mean that the danger is over.

On the contrary, it will cause a greater disaster because the enemy is driven away.

They will not accept defeat and will bring more and stronger enemies. What human civilization needs now is time.

Given enough time, Lynch doesn't think human civilization will be worse than other civilizations.

So it's a good thing that these people stay.

He paused and said, "Is the new satellite ready?"

The first thing the octopus monster did after invading the earth was to shoot down most of the artificial satellites in the earth's orbit. Fortunately, there are still satellites working on the moon and even farther away, otherwise the global communication platform would have been paralyzed.

"We are almost ready. Those warships are still a threat to us."

"So I plan to deal with them first..."

Lynch yawned, "Then do it as soon as possible. I will give you the power second only to me. I can't hold on any longer."

The sleepiness made him a little overwhelmed.

It will be very uncomfortable not to sleep at first, but as you endure it, you will become extra energetic and excited, as if you have expelled all the sleepiness from your body forever.

But after this excitement passes, there will be a deep feeling of fatigue.

Every cell in the body is sending a signal to the brain that they need rest.

Fortunately, the medicine supported by the School of Life Sciences can allow Lynch's body to get some rest, but even so, he is almost reaching his limit.

After thinking it over again and again, Lynch's expression became a little more serious. "I have something that may be helpful to the future development of human civilization, but I'm not sure if I should say it out loud."

Aurora looked at Lynch intently, without interrupting, just listening quietly.

He squeezed his hair and scalp from the forehead to the back, "It can help humans go further in the stars, but it may also be the beginning of human civilization's self-destruction. I'm not sure..."

After a long while, he sighed softly and said, "This thing can only be known by you. You can't tell anyone else without my permission."

Aurora nodded. "I wrote this into the new basic rules."

Lynch leaned back, as if trying to figure out where to start. "Do you know the nucleus of an atom?"
