The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2324, Ling Liang's Thoughts

Ling Liang was not interested in this so-called division of labor. She said coldly: "I don't need so many fancy functions. According to the original plan, the 'ant colony' can produce a large number of mutant creatures through parasitic mutation to disrupt the defense deployment of the target planet. This is enough. No matter how these things are divided, can they be compared with an armored assault team of a Scorpio tank?"

"General Ling, these B.O.W, unless they are Injori Avengers specially used for frontal combat, they will definitely not be able to fight against armored forces. However, the biggest feature of B.O.W is that they are cheap and flexible. Compared with tanks, they do not require special production lines, raw material processing, or sophisticated electronic components. They only need some viruses and high-energy nutrients to produce powerful combat units..." The Umbrella researcher hurriedly explained.

"Then how do you make this thing less and less 'cheap'?" Ling Liang asked back: "This new generation of 'ant colonies', the mosquitoes are a circle larger! How to ensure concealment? How to ensure quantity? How to ensure cost?"

"This... Miss Alexia thinks... the battle on Fangduo Planet will be more difficult, so she hopes that these B.O.W can play a greater role..." The researcher was a little frightened by Ling Liang's momentum and explained with his head down.

"No need!" Ling Liang said sternly: "Go back and tell Alexia not to use her boring curiosity in combat! Now our national goal is Operation Zero, and there is no room for error! If there are any omissions in this plan because of her extraneous affairs, then I will personally dismantle her nest!"

"Yes... yes... yes..." The researcher did not dare to retort and nodded and answered.

Ling Liang waved his hand and turned to leave the laboratory. She felt that coming here this time was a complete waste of time. Now the battle on Kira planet needed to be concluded urgently, and the strategy for Fangduo planet was also on the agenda. For her, every minute was precious.

She could tolerate Severance Tann's rude orders and even humiliation to her, but she absolutely could not tolerate Alexia Ashford's behavior of wanting to use the battlefield as a laboratory!

Especially after learning zero-modal probability from the Givens, Ling Liang had a deep disgust for such random variables.

What's more, Ling Liang had an instinctive rejection of those Umbrella company executives who often conducted human experiments and did not even treat themselves as human beings. That's right, it was Alexia Ashford and Shirley Birkin.

The "Ant Colony" project was an important part of the Zero Operation Plan.

When the Zero Operation Plan was formulated, under the premise of defeating the Galactic Empire within a year, every day's actions needed to be very precise. Therefore, how to quickly defeat the Galactic Empire's fleet and occupy those planets became a problem that needed to be considered.

Now, because the Principality of Dawn has a greater technological advantage, coupled with the mobility advantage of the stargate, it can firmly hold an overwhelming combat power against the Galactic Empire on the local battlefield, so it is relatively easy to destroy the Imperial Fleet.

The difficult point is how to occupy the planets controlled by the Empire.

First of all, although orbital bombing can speed up the occupation, after a large-scale orbital bombing, the planet is basically useless, and even if it is occupied, it cannot play its original role. What's more, if the orbital bombing is carried out endlessly, the public opinion of the Principality of Dawn, both at home and abroad, will collapse. No one wants to live under the hands of a murderous devil, and no one wants to have any diplomatic exchanges with a murderous devil.     In order to ensure the implementation of Operation Zero, in order to prevent the Galactic Empire from using the vast star area as depth, delaying the attack of the Principality of Dawn's fleet, and making supply lines difficult, then a quick victory naturally becomes an impossible option.

Therefore, there must be a means to quickly and completely occupy those planets.

For example, the current planet Kira, as long as Kira can be occupied with limited damage, then this planet will immediately become the forward supply base of the Dawn Principality Fleet. And relying on Kira, the Dawn Principality can immediately push its front line to the depth of the middle ring and the inner ring!

So, after many considerations and discussions, the "Ant Colony" plan came into being.

The basis of this project is the T-Veronica virus developed by Alexia Ashford. This virus is a new virus based on the combination of the ancestral virus and the T virus, and its virus variant has a very unique feature, that is, because it incorporates the genes of plants and ants, it will show sociality and clustering that other biological weapons will not appear.

At the same time, the infectivity of the T-Veronica virus is lower than that of the T virus and the G virus, which makes the T-Veronica virus a very excellent virus carrier.

After a lot of experiments, Alexia proposed her solution-using the T-Veronica virus to produce a mosquito-like carrier carrying a high concentration of the virus and put it on the target planet. These mosquitoes will then choose a parasite to bite and inject high concentrations of the virus into the parasite's body.

Targets injected with high concentrations of the virus will soon mutate violently and become terrible monsters. These monsters will immediately cause a lot of killings, and ordinary light weapons cannot harm them at all. At the same time, these monsters are fully mutated, so they will not become carriers of virus transmission, that is, whether these monsters kill others or are killed by others, they will not cause the spread of the virus.

Once the problem of virus spread is solved, this B.O.W will become a very mature weapon.

For example, this time, about 800,000 mosquitoes were released on the planet Kira. These mosquitoes were installed in unique containers and sent to the planet with the modified giant whale-class passenger spacecraft. Even if the spacecraft is shot down, these containers will protect the mosquitoes from falling to the ground and then begin to spread continuously.

These mosquitoes have a strong sense of territory, so they will not gather together. After a certain number of mosquitoes in one place, other mosquitoes will choose to bypass this place and go to other places to find parasites.

Therefore, a situation of blooming everywhere has formed on the planet Kira. Almost every place where people gather will have mutant monsters of the T-Veronica virus. There are not many of these mutant monsters, but they are definitely not something that a small force can eliminate.

There are about 400,000 mosquitoes that have successfully found a host on the planet Kira, which means that 400,000 monsters are wreaking havoc in every corner of the planet!

There is no doubt that the defenders of the planet Kira will be exhausted! The regular army troops that landed head-on can easily destroy the frontal defense of the planet!

This is the "Ant Colony" plan! (End of this chapter)
