Chapter 1248 (2/2)

Over the past week, expeditionary has killed a total of 500 devil bugs, but only 21 of them can be recovered. Most of them died in the flames of ground penetrating incendiary bombs.

One third of the 100 rounds of ground penetrating bombs had been used up. Along with the battle report, the expedition also sent a supply list.

”200 rounds of drill to ground fuel, 10 tons of small caliber mass bombs, and 50 tons of mass bombs for infantry vehicles, as well as a lot of weapon batteries It's burning money too fast, isn't it? ” Looking at the list in hand, Jiang Chen couldn't help saying.

”The consumption is really amazing.” Kelvin nodded in agreement.”I'd like to know how many more bombs are needed to get our Mars colony back to normal.” Pointing to the list in hand, Jiang Chen pointed out the key to the problem.

If you don't know how many bugs the enemy has left, no matter how many bugs you kill, it doesn't make any sense to star ring trade.

Obviously, Kelvin saw that, too.

However, he did not have a good explanation for this problem.

”The devil bug's range of activity is five kilometers below the surface, which is beyond the perception of our life detection devices. At present, we can only use seismic wave to analyze the formation porosity, determine the possible horizon, and then make a blind shot in the past... ” At this point, Kerwin sighed. ”I know it's inefficient, but it seems to be the most efficient way.”

What's the solution?

Jiang Chen shook his head at Kelvin's words.

He had seen the memory of Gaia civilization that the devil bug of 3.7 billion years ago could drill 50 kilometers underground and move in the mantle.

The lower it goes, the more high altitude strata and hollow layers that may exist oxygen producing fungi, and the more space the devil insects may live and reproduce. If we use the earth penetrating bomb, it will be difficult to cover all the strata with a depth of five kilometers. If we enlarge this figure to 50 kilometers, the missile consumption will be astronomical.

And at this time, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the picture he had seen in the memory of harmonious civilization.

The Brahman, who arrived at glize 581g alone, established a colony in the new world. The expansion of the colony and the expansion of living space eventually angered the arthropods living underground. In the hundreds of years of war, they had the upper hand at first, but at last they were driven back to synchronous orbit.

How similar history is

The only difference is that the expeditionary is backed by the star ring trade.

”I'm worried about one thing now.” Jiangchensi cableway.

”What's the matter?” Kelvin looked at Jiang Chen.

”If our actions become part of natural selection in a way that contributes to their evolution...” Jiang Chen frowned slightly and held his arms in his arms and thought, ”will it come to the end, even if it is burning and burning bombs, it is difficult to eliminate them.”

The devil bug can survive on a time scale of 3.7 billion years, which is enough to annihilate countless civilizations, flatten mountains, turn forests into deserts, and evaporate the ocean But still failed to eliminate these uncivilized insects.

They're like cockroaches.

Even more difficult than cockroaches.

From this point of view, arthropods do have more advantages than mammals in the proposition of survival.

”No way ”Yes Looking at Jiang Chen's serious expression, Kelvin, who was originally determined in his heart, is also somewhat uncertain.

In his mind, no carbon based organism could resist the heat of a fire.

That's true, but it's not entirely true.

Is it really impossible?

I hope so.
