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 organisms through parasitic mutation and disrupt the defense deployment of the target planet. This is enough. No matter how divided the labor is, can these things compare to a Scorpion tank armored assault team?"
"General Ling, these B. O. Ws, unless they are Indjori Vengeance specially used for frontal combat, they will definitely not be able to fight against armored forces. However, the biggest feature of B. O. Ws is that they are cheap and flexible. Compared with tanks, Generally speaking, they do not require special production lines, nor the processing of raw materials, nor sophisticated electronic components. They only need some viruses and high-energy nutrients to produce powerful combat units..." researcher Umbrella quickly explained.
"Then how do you make this thing less and less 'cheap'?" Ling Liang asked, "In this new generation of 'ant colonies', the mosquitoes are a lot bigger! How to ensure concealment? How to ensure quantity? How to ensure cost?"
"Well... Miss Alexia thinks...Fondor Planet's battle will be more difficult, so she hopes these B. O. Ws can play a greater role..." The researcher was a little frightened by Ling Liang's momentum and lowered her head to explain.
"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 failure! If there are any omissions in this plan because of her extraneous problems, then I will personally dismantle her lair!"
"Yes... yes... yes..." The researcher didn't dare to reply, so he nodded and bowed his head.
Ling Liang waved his hand, turned and left the laboratory. She feels that coming here this time is a complete waste of time. Now Kira planet's battle needs to be concluded, and Fondor Planet's strategy has also been put on the agenda. For her, every minute is precious.
She can tolerate Sefrans-Tann's rude orders and even humiliation of her, but she absolutely cannot tolerate Alexia-Ashford's behavior of treating the battlefield as a laboratory!
Especially after learning Zero-Modal Probability Theory from the Givin, Ling Liang has a deep aversion to such random variables.
What's more, Ling Liang has an instinctive rejection of those Umbrella Corporation senior officials who often conduct human experiments and do not even consider themselves human beings. That's right, it's Alexia-Ashford and Sherry-Birkin.
The "Ant Colony" project is an important part of Operation Zero.
When Operation Zero was formulated, on the premise that Galactic Empire needed to be defeated within a year, every day's actions needed to be very precise. Therefore, how to quickly defeat Galactic Empire's fleet and occupy those planets has become an important issue to consider.
Now, because Duchy of Dawn has great technical advantages, coupled with the mobility advantage of the star gate, it can firmly occupy overwhelming combat power against the Galactic Empire on the local battlefield. Therefore, destroying Imperial fleet is relatively easy.
The difficult part is how to occupy the planet controlled by the Empire.
First of all, although Orbital Bombardment can speed up the occupation, after a large-scale Orbital Bombardment, the planet is basically useless. Even if it is occupied, it will not be able to play its original role. What's more, if Orbital Bombardment is carried out endlessly, Duchy of Dawn public opinion will collapse whether at home or abroad. No one wants to live under the hands of a murderer, and no one wants to have any diplomatic dealings with a murderer.
In order to ensure the progress of Operation Zero, in order to prevent Galactic Empire from using the vast star area as depth, delaying Duchy of Dawn fleet's attack and causing difficulties in the supply line, then a quick victory naturally becomes an impossible option.
Therefore, there must be a method that can quickly and completely occupy those planets.
Just like the current Kira planet, as long as Kira planet can be captured with limited damage, then this planet will immediately become Duchy of Dawn fleet's forward supply base. And relying on Kira planet, Duchy of Dawn can immediately push its front to the depth of Mid Rim and Inner Rim!
So, after many considerations and discussions, the "Ant Colony" plan came into being.
The basis of this project is T-Veronica Virus developed by Alexia-Ashford. This virus is a new virus based on the combination of Progenitor Virus and 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 cannot be seen in other biological weapons.
At the same time, the infectivity of T-Veronica Virus is lower than that of T-Virus and G-Virus, which makes T-Veronica Virus a very excellent virus vector.
After a lot of experiments, Alexia came up with her solution - use T-Veronica Virus to produce mosquito-like vectors carrying high-concentration viruses and put them on the target planet. These mosquitoes will then choose the parasite to bite, and then inject high concentrations of the virus into the parasite's body.
Targets injected with high concentrations of the virus will soon mutate very violently, and then become terrifying monsters. These monsters will cause a lot of carnage immediately, and ordinary light weapons cannot cause harm to them at all. At the same time, these monsters have fully mutated, so they will not become vectors of virus infection. In other words, 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 put on Kira planet. These mosquitoes were installed in unique containers and were sent to the planet with the modified Leviathan-class passenger liner. Even if the spacecraft is shot down, these containers will protect the mosquitoes from falling to the ground and then begin to spread.
These mosquitoes are very territorial, so they don't stick together. When there are 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, Kira planet has become a phenomenon everywhere. Mutated monsters of T-Veronica Virus will appear in almost every place where people gather. The number of these mutated monsters is not large, but they are definitely not something that a small force can destroy.
There are approximately 400,000 mosquitoes that have successfully found their hosts on Kira planet, which means that 400,000 monsters are wreaking havoc in every corner of the planet!
There is no doubt that Kira planet's defenders will be exhausted! And the regular army troops landing frontally can easily destroy the planet's frontal defense!
This is the 'ant colony' plan!
