Starring City, gravity-free terminal.

The handover ceremony of the special envoy-class starship was underway. Jiang Chen, who was talking to Kerwin, looked gradually solemn between his eyebrows.

"...The Marines we sent to the underground of the ruins were attacked by unknown Martian creatures... It was not a devil worm. It caused the death of three Marine soldiers on our side, and the two soldiers and a researcher seriously injured." After taking a deep breath, Kelwin sent a video file to Jiang Chen's watch, "This is a battle video."

Transmission is complete.

After looking behind him and confirming that there was no one nearby, Jiang Chen clicked on the play button.

In the picture, the Star Ring Marines exchanged fierce fire with the Martian creatures that suddenly appeared.

A Marine soldier held the researcher back and fought back against the alien with a Gauss rifle.

The Martian creature that was hit let out a shrill scream, and green blood spurted out of his body. While dodging to the side and making way for his fellow creatures behind him, he sprayed corrosive acid at the Marines with his hideous mouth.

Because the battle is fierce, the picture is shaking violently.

At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly pressed the pause button.

The picture was frozen on a hideous giant mouth.

Zoom in and zoom in, Jiang Chen's gaze focused on the Martian creature.

The powerful feet, the long tail with barbs, the shuttle-shaped head, the forward bent arms and the sharp claws with barbs look full of explosive power and lethality. The shells on the back are lined up one after another, just like the armor of heavy cavalry, etc.

In an instant, Jiang Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

He always felt familiar in this look.

It is not in the end of the world, nor in the memory of the Gaia civilization.

But in that memory from the 581g planet of Glitzer!

Yes, that's right!

The group of bugs that fought against Brahma were carved from the same mold as these bugs!

But why?

In an instant, Jiang Chen's brain was filled with countless question marks.

He didn't understand why he would meet his opponents that a harmonious civilization had faced on Mars.

If you think about it carefully, the attack method of these devil worms is not as good as the attacking insects encountered by the colonists of the Brahma. The only difference may be that the attacking insects are larger than the devil worms, and the surface is dotted with quartz shells...

A coincidence?

But this is too coincidental.

Jiang Chen's brows frowned and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that the boss had not spoken, Kelwin spoke tentatively.

"Chairman?"

Kerwin's voice reminded Jiang Chen that he was still on the phone.

After coming back to his senses, Jiang Chen reached out to turn off the holographic screen and immediately ordered Kerwin.

"You are waiting at the command center of the 071 project department, and I'll come over immediately."

"yes."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen returned to the boarding entrance of the dock and spoke to Wu Changfeng and others, leaving the venue in advance from the warship delivery ceremony, and immediately rushed to the command room of the 071 project of the Aerospace Command Center.

When he arrived, the command room was already busy.

Walking to Kelvin's side, Jiang Chen immediately asked.

“How is the situation on the front line?”

"It's not optimistic... We have a drill truck trapped underground. Fortunately, the personnel inside the drill truck have been withdrawn in time. At present, the seriously injured researcher is still in rescue, and another seriously injured Marine soldier is temporarily out of danger." Kerwin said with an ugly face.

Jiang Chen nodded and then asked.

“What about the situation in the tunnel?”

"The tunnel is currently occupied by unknown Martian creatures, and we are building a database for this creature... By the way, what is the name of this monster? Do you have any opinions?" Kelwin asked.

“…It’s called Corroder.”

"Corrokers? This name is quite appropriate. They do vomit highly corrosive acid." After a pause, an incredible look appeared on Kerwin's face. "What is most surprising is their eggs. Their eggs explode when they are stimulated by external forces, and the equivalent of the explosion is not low..."

"What is the explosion equivalent?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It is close to half a ton of tn.t, and it comes with corrosive damage, which has miraculous effects in small spaces," said Kelwin.

Half a ton tn.t?

This number is not large, but as Kelwin said, there are miraculous effects in small spaces.

More importantly, the target area is too close to the Gaia civilization ruins. In order to avoid damage to the ruins, let alone the ground-burning weapon such as the ground-burning bomb to clean the floor, you must even be careful when dealing with insect eggs.

...

071 At the mine site, an alarm sounded throughout the desert.

Just as the battle broke out below the tunnel, everyone in the entire operation base started to move.

All non-combatants boarded the rover and stood on standby. Infantry chariots loaded with soldiers drove out of the garage and surrounded them in the direction of the tunnel. When the infantry chariots loaded with wounded men retreated from the tunnel, four infantry chariots formed an attack formation and drove down the tunnel.

At the middle of the tunnel, four infantry fighting vehicles launched a fierce exchange of fire with the attacking corroders.

However, what's amazing is that these acids can not only corrode space suits, aerospace exoskeletons, but also corrode the armor of infantry combat vehicles.

The white mist rose from the surface of the armor, and the green acid liquid seemed to be boiled, rolling with foamy bubbles. Fortunately, the composite armor of the infantry chariot was better in terms of corrosion resistance. Especially after analyzing the blood vessels of the devil worms, the technicians of the Future Heavy Industry designed a corrosion-resistant gel.

This gel will quickly condense into high viscosity colloids in low-pressure environments, which can be used to emergency repair of damaged space suits, effectively isolate the corrosion of organic acids, and to some extent greatly improve the survival rate of front-line troops when fighting against Martian species.

Unfortunately, this firefight ended in a tie.

The corrosives rushing deep into the tunnel were like tides. After rushing into the tunnel, the electromagnetic cannons on the top of the four infantry fighting vehicles never stopped.

High-speed mass bombs were raging in the tunnel, and from time to time, they were accompanied by one or two high-explosion rockets. Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, the broken concrete wall finally couldn't hold on, and the tunnel collapsed into several sections.

Fortunately, the infighting chariots were evacuated in time, and no tragedy was caused by people.

"Damn, didn't we build an ultrasonic fence?"

Looking at the infantry chariot withdrawing from the tunnel in the holographic screen, Hong Zewei's eyebrows were twisted in a ball.

"The ultrasonic fence is only effective for devil worms. Obviously, we drove away devil worms, and now another group of bugs has occupied the nests that once belonged to them." Standing behind Hong Zewei, a researcher coughed softly and said.

"Can we study the ultrasonic frequency that drives away this...corroder?" Hong Zewei asked immediately.

As the 071 project, which had been delayed for almost a year, is about to come to an end, but now a new variable suddenly appears, how can he not be in a hurry? What worries him the most is that if these corrosives, like devil worms, will attack the Martian colony...

"It's OK in theory, but this requires us to understand their body structure to a certain extent." The researcher shrugged. "This requires a large number of specimens, and it's better to have a few more insect eggs..."

How many more insect eggs?

What do you think that is?

Can you refill a cup of coffee?

Hong Zewei smiled bitterly in his heart and continued to look at the colony outside the window.

The red desert has been replaced by alloy floors, and the newly built steel plant is spewing white mist, and the emerald green can be seen through the graphene dome of the farm... Everything in the colony is thriving, and they cannot bear to start over again.

If these corrosives intend to win by number, it will definitely be a disaster for the almost unguarded colonies on the surface.

After clenching his fist, he let go. Hong Zewei reached out and tapped on the holographic screen twice, and issued an order to the colonial engineering team.

"All the ongoing projects stopped, and all the engineering teams immediately entered the fence construction and surrounded our colony with concrete walls!"
Chapter completed!
