Chapter 453: Chapter 280: Operation Venus!
And these fifth-generation resonance torpedoes are equipped with drills and laser smelting machines, capable of boring into the Zerg’s body and triggering resonance!
Their efficiency is faster and more difficult to defend against!
A Zerg, clad entirely in space metal smelting, at the high-level Planet Dominator level, was attacked by a resonance torpedo. The resonance torpedo bored into its body.
As the resonance frequency increased, its body began to disintegrate inch by inch, then turned to dust, becoming a mass of cosmic dust!
This is not just an isolated case; in Venus’s outer space, a large number of Zergs were shattered!
The performance of Blue Star Alliance’s warships has multiplied several times over in just a few years.
Now even L4 warships are equipped with Purgatory Beam and resonance torpedoes, making the Venusian Zergs—once a headache for soldiers due to their formidable defenses—easy targets to kill.
“Human strength has increased several folds!” the Zergs communicated, “Outer space has already fallen!”
“Retreat, retreat to the atmosphere! Use thunderstorms to attack them!” the Zergs retreated to Venus’s atmosphere.
In Venus’s dense atmosphere, Zergs were lurking everywhere at this time.
An unmanned warship just entered the atmosphere and was pierced by a thunderstorm.
On the surface, countless Volcano Giant Beasts were firing thermal energy beams and launching metal chunks as if they were electromagnetic guns.
The magnetic field was in utter chaos, reconnaissance satellites unable to gather information, and even establishing communication was difficult.
He Xingzhou looked at all this and ordered, “The fleet should not attack for now, deploy weather weapons to clear out the atmospheric Zergs.”
“Yes!” Luo An and He Hongwei ordered simultaneously to keep the fleet from entering Venus’s atmosphere for now, instead continuing to block Venus’s outer space.
On the warship, a large number of weather weapons were deployed, in the tens of billions!
The volume and mass of these weather weapons were small, even less than a bedside cabinet, and a single transport ship could carry over a billion!
They had deployable antennas that emitted electromagnetic waves to control the free ions in the atmosphere.
Using them to initiate thunderstorms or create hurricanes.
The Venusian Zergs were also destroying these weather weapons, but there were simply too many of them, and they were deployed from Venus’s outer space in all directions, so they couldn’t destroy them all.
Thus, the weather weapons created super thunderstorms and hurricanes, turning Venus’s atmosphere into chaos with the Venusian Zergs!
Even when viewed from outer space, the vast air vortices and bright atmosphere on Venus were visible; that’s because thunderstorms and lightning were constantly forming, illuminating the entire planet!
“Weather weapons, they are terrifying!” the people of the Blue Star Civilization watched this scene through the virtual world.
“If this happened on Blue Star, the entire ecosystem would be destroyed!”
“The thunderstorms and lightning have hardly stopped!”
“Venus’s atmospheric density is over ninety times that of Blue Star, and now the wind speeds have reached supersonic levels; typical warships and Planet Giant Beasts would be torn to pieces in such winds!”
The weather weapon assault was long and sustained, with the fleet waiting outside Venus for two days and nights, and the atmosphere not only failed to stabilize but became even more chaotic.
“It’s about time.” He Xingzhou estimated, the Zergs in the atmosphere were probably all dead by now, and they must be hiding on the surface and in the crust, where the atmosphere and thunderstorms couldn’t reach.
“Begin atmospheric stabilization; as soon as the atmosphere is stable, attack immediately!” he ordered.
The fleet began using weather weapons for atmospheric stabilization; weather weapons also had the ability to stabilize ions, and as for airflow, they could create counter-weather to collide and rub against the air streams to weaken their power.
This process also took several days; after all, it was easy to destroy, hard to stabilize!
Another three days passed, and Venus’s atmosphere had stabilized significantly, enough for the fleet to enter.
“Attack.” He Xingzhou ordered, “First conduct a space strike on the main targets, then enter the atmosphere.”
“Attack!” Luo An and He Hongwei ordered simultaneously; in outer space, a large number of weapons were launched towards the surface of Venus, destroying some of the insect nests they had previously reconnoitered.
Hydrogen bombs, beams, and electromagnetic guns detonated on the surface, destroying some surface insect nests.
If these weapons were used in the previous Mars campaign, they wouldn’t even need to enter the atmosphere to eliminate the Zergs from outer space!
Unfortunately, the Venusian Zergs were all silicon-based insects, many of which hid underground, making such bombardment less effective on them, necessitating entry into the atmosphere for combat.
So after several rounds of bombardment, part of the warships stayed in outer space to continue the assault, while the main warships entered Venus’s atmosphere to commence the attack.
“How dare humans attack us, destroy them all!” the Venusian Zergs didn’t remain idle; from the surface, mountains and volcanoes rose, transforming into Planet Giant Beasts, flying towards the atmosphere to engage the fleet!
Weather weapons, lasers, hydrogen bombs, electromagnetic guns, plasma weapons collided with the Zergs’ Atomic Breath, thermal energy beams, metal projectiles, magma, etc., every moment on Venus there was a nuclear explosion!
The apocalyptic scenes once described in human films looked very naive in the face of such a battlefield!
Because at this time, the existence of individuals was infinitely minuscule.
Even giant warships, here, couldn’t withstand the shock waves, ray aftershocks, and atmospheric turmoil!
The first round of battle was purely a war of attrition between the two sides!
Warships exploded, disintegrated, and the Zergs were also disintegrating and bursting, utter chaos.
“First brigade, occupy the Maxwell Mountains, the highest point on the surface!”
“X-144, a high-level Planet Dominator is creating a weather attack there, immediately destroy it!”
“Ista Land’s attack force is insufficient, blocked by the enemy, requesting support! We need at least five L5 warships!”
“There’s a super nest at the bottom of the Lavania lowlands, third brigade, go destroy it!”
“Second brigade has lost over fifty percent of its warships.”
“Deploy ground assault weapons! Deploy giant mecha, Mechanical Giant Beasts down, attack the underground insect nests!”
This operation, the fleet also carried giant mecha and Mechanical Giant Beasts for underground assault.
On Venus’s surface, the most prominent highlands and insect nests were being bombarded!
On Venus, at the site of the largest shield volcano, there was a super insect nest!
The silicon-based Zergs needed to absorb energy from the underground magma, and they could also create volcanic furnaces within their bodies.
The diameter of this shield volcano exceeded 700 kilometers, with a height of 5.5 kilometers, although not as high as Mars’s Olympus Super Volcano, its size was comparable!
The first fleet of the Blue Star fleet was arriving there to attack the super insect nest.
“Hydrogen bomb carpet bombing!” For wide-range attacks, naturally, hydrogen bombs were used.
One by one, super hydrogen bombs landed, exploding on the surface. Around the volcano, mushroom clouds rose into the sky, and the scorching heat remelted the surface basalt into magma, with more magma spewing from underground.
Some Zergs residing there were directly killed by the hydrogen bombs!
“Roar…” a thunderous roar came from the insect nest.
Planet Giant Beasts rushed out, their bodies covered in magma and thunder, like demonic gods flying from hell, ramming into the warships.
“Electromagnetic Gun!”
“Proton Beam Weapon!”
Although the Proton Beam Weapon did limited damage to them, it could create an intense electric field to disrupt the magnetic and electric fields created by these bugs.
The Zergs were exceptionally ferocious, directly using the most violent methods to ram into the warships.
Because they were in Venus’s high-density atmosphere, the warships moved slowly.
Even L5 warships began to sustain significant losses!
After being rammed, the warships erupted in massive explosions within the atmosphere!
Outer space warships struggled to provide support in time!
And those bugs, with their tenacious life force, unless hit by a resonance weapon, were difficult to kill outright.
Even when seriously injured, they could burrow underground to heal, during which the warships couldn’t harm them, making the battle increasingly strenuous.
