"Commander, the pressure on the front lines is increasing. We recommend adjusting the formation," a tactical analysis robot prompted.
Zhou Qing nodded and quickly issued new instructions: "All units, switch to defensive formation! Light spears, switch to rapid fire mode and prioritize eliminating enemy heavy firepower units!"
The mechanical legion reacted immediately. The front-line robots quickly erected alloy shields, forming an iron defensive line, while the rear-line robots adjusted their light spears to high-speed rapid-fire mode, unleashing a barrage of dense blue beams like a torrential rain upon the charging greens.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Explosions rang out one after another, and the green-skinned boys at the forefront were instantly torn to shreds by the power of the light spear guns.
However, more Greenskins continued their charge, stepping over the corpses of their comrades, their eyes gleaming with fanatical fighting spirit.
"These guys... they don't know what fear is." Zhou Qing frowned.
In addition, Zhou Qing was somewhat shocked by the sight of those green-skinned men who had been shot down by Gauss rifles and lay on the ground for a while before getting up again.
"Bio-scans reveal a rapid repair mechanism within the green-skinned creature," the reconnaissance robot reported. "It is recommended to use high-temperature or energy weapons to completely destroy its cellular tissue."
"Good heavens!" Zhou Qing looked at the report given by his system and felt a sense of amazement. These other creatures really did have their unique features.
He used the Gauss rifle primarily to ensure the food remained intact.
Unexpectedly, this became an unforeseen factor that helped these green-skinned orcs quickly stand up and fight again.
The Gauss rifle is a weapon designed to ensure the integrity of the prey's body, characterized by high accuracy, high penetration, and low recoil.
Zhou Qing equipped his mechanical legion with Gauss rifles, which used the electromagnetic field generated by the barrel length to accelerate needle-shaped bullets of about 4 or 3 millimeters to their maximum speed before launching an attack.
Due to material limitations, these Gauss rifles could only accelerate to a maximum speed of 20 meters per second.
But that's enough. In the hunting mode of the Gauss rifle, these high-speed needle-shaped bullets can instantly tear through any enemy defenses and eliminate them with tiny wounds.
This way, the prey's body can be kept intact, instead of being smashed into a bloody mist and rendered inedible.
Originally, Zhou Qing planned to chop up the orcs killed by the Gauss rifles after the battle and turn them into food.
It's called "the province should save, the money should be spent".
Compared to the green-skinned Gauss rifle, which vanishes without a trace when hit by the light spear, it has a clear advantage in hunting.
I never imagined that my idea would become a factor in those greens rising again after being knocked down.
"Alright, in that case, have all units switch from hunting mode to attack mode."
Chapter 21 Want to go home
As Zhou Qing gave the order, the Gauss rifles of the 80,000-strong mechanical legion simultaneously emitted a high-frequency charging hum.
The electromagnetic acceleration rails inside the barrel emitted a faint blue light, and the green indicator light for hunting mode instantly switched to a blood-red attack mode indicator.
Unlike the hunting mode, where attacks are primarily aimed at precise kills while preserving the prey's integrity,
After removing the hunting mode, the Gauss rifle began to lean towards high damage output, or rather, large-area destruction.
The Gauss rifles of today can pulverize the green-skinned soldiers into dust, into the finest possible pieces.
"Attack protocol activated, destruction mode initiated." The crimson skull symbol flashed continuously on the mechanical soldier's tactical visor.
"The electromagnetic acceleration track has been overloaded to a critical value, and the projectile mass compensation system has been shut down."
The next second, the air on the battlefield was completely torn apart.
No longer the gentle "whoosh" sound during hunting, but a deafening explosion.
A depleted uranium core, about the size of a thumb, is accelerated to 0.3 times the speed of light in a magnetic field of millions of gauss. The friction between the surface of the projectile and the air generates temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees, leaving a plasma trail tens of meters long in its trajectory.
The first greenskin hit didn't even have time to scream.
The moment the projectile contacts the skin, its terrifying kinetic energy vaporizes it into a plasma state.
The aftershocks carved a hundred-meter-long molten trench in the wasteland, and more than thirty green-skinned animals along the way exploded into blood mist as if struck by an invisible giant hammer.
The high temperature generated when the bullets flew past these green-skinned bodies also killed all the fungi on them.
This completely deprived them of the chance to survive and the chance to reproduce.
The entire battlefield turned into a flesh-and-blood churn.
A body broken down into basic particles cannot even produce spores.
The waaagh energy field is a joke in the face of absolute energy crushing.
However, these greenskins were ultimately a race that loved to drive Waaagh, so none of them backed down. They continued to charge towards Zhou Qing's army like a tidal wave, knowing nothing of fear and only wanting to fight fiercely.
However, it was clear that after Zhou Qing made the decision to abandon his plan to use them as food, these green-skinned creatures had no chance of survival.
After a half-hour encirclement and suppression, the Greenskin army of over 260 million was completely wiped out.
Amidst the devastation of the battlefield, only that enormous creation made of scrap metal remained.
The tech tycoon above has already been eliminated.
The mechanical legion began to deal with the battlefield, preparing to wipe out all the surrounding fungi.
Although the primary goal of this mushroom production area is to preserve the farm for food, all the green organisms surrounding the habitat must be eliminated.
To prevent them from being reborn in the shelter and affecting the studies of the children Zhou Qing is currently preparing to raise.
Moreover, the legion has its own things to do, and Zhou Qing naturally has his own things to do as well. He is currently pondering how this green-skinned creation works.
After he wiped out the entire green-skinned army, the massive mechanical construct never moved again.
To him it was just a lump of scrap metal, and in reality, after he manipulated it, it truly was just a lump of scrap metal.
It's as if the towering green war machines that had stood up and launched the attack were not the scrap metal that I see before me.
No matter how Zhou Qing thought about it, he found it hard to connect this lump of scrap metal with the guy who had actually wiped out more than 30 of his civilian mechanical soldiers.
"What exactly is this thing? Why did it stop moving when I was studying it?"
Zhou Qing muttered to himself.
He had originally thought that if he could develop this technology, he could make use of the garbage he had discarded.
After all, although the Federation army is powerful and the Federation's weapons are powerful, they still require a lot of materials to manufacture.
In contrast, Zhou Qing was naturally interested in the fact that these green-skinned people could create such a thing from a pile of junk, as this would undoubtedly greatly reduce his expenses.
However, after conducting research for some time, he eventually had to abandon the idea.
Is it because he's useless and genuinely can't figure out what's wrong with the green skin? That huge thing used to move like that.
No matter how Zhou Qing calculated it, the energy output here was insufficient to make such a large machine move, let alone the fact that it had weapons capable of attacking.
Zhou Qing stood before the pile of war machines that had been reduced to scrap metal, his brow furrowed.
His fingers traced the rusty exterior, his psychic senses penetrating every gear and circuit, yet he still couldn't find any reasonable explanation.
"This isn't scientific..." he muttered to himself, kicking the already twisted and deformed cannon barrel. "Insufficient energy output, no reasonable transmission structure, it doesn't even follow basic physical laws..."
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Enraged, he grabbed a light spear from a soldier next to him and fired a shot at the scrap metal, turning it into a puddle of liquid.
After finishing, still feeling quite aggrieved, he used his spiritual power to knead the molten metal into a ball, and then viciously threw it towards another Greenskin outpost.
"I'm so angry!"
"I thought I had found something useful, but I should have just shot him to pieces."
And it made me lose so many combat robots! Do you know how much that costs? Damn it!
Zhou Qing gradually started swearing.
However, there is good news. After all, he has indeed cleared the plain, and now he can build a city here.
He took out a large number of engineering robots from his small pocket and then gave them instructions.
"Dig 100 meters down to build a city underground."
As I said before, he is currently alone. Although he has a mechanical legion, it is not enough to contend with an interstellar civilization.
To avoid conflict with the human empire, he preferred to build his small towns underground first.
With the advancement of powerful Federation technology, he could create an environment underground that is just like the surface, or even a better natural environment. This is the technology of the Human Federation.
After all, the civilization outside is definitely an interstellar civilization. Although their weapons look so ugly and crude, no one can say that an interstellar civilization has warships.
Perhaps this civilization is simply not good at land warfare?
That's possible, after all, he clearly remembers that in the first 100 years of the development of the Federation of Humanity, under the leadership of the Grand Marshal, the Federation's army was incredibly weak.
That year, their Federation's army dispatched 10 legions to attack a primitive Bronze Age world, but the result was that the army was wiped out as soon as they jumped in.
Moreover, the other side then deployed a large number of magical spaceships, resulting in a massive air battle between them and the Federation in space.
That wasn't an isolated incident; a Federation observation space station was even speared down by a primitive civilization. To be honest, the entire Federation was shocked at the time.
It is precisely because of these repeated lessons that the Federation remains cautious even now that it has reached other universes.
Who knows what strange things might exist on an inconspicuous planet?
As a scientist of the Federation, Zhou Qing naturally inherited the Federation's caution.
He didn't know just how monstrous the human empire on the other side was, so he decided to proceed with caution, especially since he no longer had the Federation behind him.
He can no longer act as he did before.
The engineering robots started working, and Zhou Qing sat alone and forlorn on a rock. He missed home; he missed the Federation.
There's no one to talk to here, only these cold robots...
While piloting his exploration spaceship and exploring outside the Federation's controlled area, he could at least connect to the Federation's network and watch TV shows or play games.
Even if he ran far away, he could still communicate with his family, which greatly alleviated his loneliness, but now all of that is gone.
Even the Federation no longer exists, and Zhou Qing is somewhat depressed.
If even a researcher can live for over 10 years, how could the Federation possibly be wiped out in the long river of history?
it's out of the question!
In addition, he seemed unable to find the Void Realm in this universe, while a continuous stream of polluting energy was rushing towards his body from the subspace.
Although each time it was intercepted by my own small device and purified by my own spiritual power, it was still quite annoying.
This is like wanting to eat a meal, but finding that your meal is disgusting.
