Chapter 722
"No way! The Virgin Mary deserves to die!"
"We are in a critical situation, and we are still discussing whether to bomb or not? If the first bombing fails, it will become more and more troublesome in the future. This can be regarded as our strongest weapon."
"But let me be honest. Although I don't support the Virgin Mary, I do support talking about it if there is an opportunity, because if you show hostility directly, any problem will become a problem."
"How to talk? How to gain trust? This is the law of the dark forest..."
"So blowing it up is the safest way to put an end to it all."
"Umbrella, stick to your original intention. We will help you scold them..."
“…”
Fortunately, most people were still normal while a few virgins stood up to appeal.
Moreover, according to Umbrella's style, they don't care about these moral kidnappings and just responded casually on the official website.
"We are now preparing to build the second batch of detectors. Those who want to contact and communicate with them can sign up now. We can give you a ride, and you can try to influence them with love."
Once these words came out, the calls for action were reduced by half.
What?
Want us to talk about it ourselves?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
It must be you who should do the talking, we are only responsible for making appeals.
However, what Umbrella said made many people like Old Morgan's eyes light up.
“It seems like we’ll be able to make some arrangements.”
"Yes, we can try using the test subjects possessed by spirits and implant chips in their bodies."
"But Umbrella will check it out."
"They are great at checking machines, but it's humiliating to do that to people."
"What about humiliation?"
After hearing this rhetorical question, they were immediately silenced. Yes, so what if others humiliate you now?
The mechas have come knocking on the door before, and there is nothing we can do about it.
"No matter what, we can give it a try! If this Zerg is really as Lord Enzo said, then we can definitely use it!"
"Let's see if they can survive the first wave of nuclear explosions..."
"In fact, we all know that as long as they dig underground, the first wave of nuclear explosions will not pose much threat to them. Now we are just fighting against the information gap."
Various nuclear defense facilities are not just for show. The direct killing range of nuclear bombs on underground targets is really quite limited. The 500,000-ton hydrogen bomb that dropped on New York previously fully illustrates this point.
If you hide in a subway station 50 meters underground, the closest survivor is 500 meters away from the explosion epicenter.
Now, the main reason is that the bugs don’t know the power of the nuclear bomb, and I don’t know if they will dig so deeply after landing!
"It's a pity that there is no way to contact them now, otherwise it would be great to remind them."
"Yes, a reminder is enough to show our goodwill!"
"It's not impossible. We still have some influence on NASA's probes. If one of them can land nearby, maybe we can give it a try!"
NASA's probes themselves are equipped with LED screens for the purpose of 'dialogue' and 'communication'. Although they cannot display any complex color images, they seem to have no problem showing pixel images of explosions and digging!
"You can give it a try. Remember to display our logo so they can remember it..."
…
"Boss, do you want to stop them?"
Although the organization would be on guard against artificial intelligence, they took the initiative to communicate with Enzo about this matter, and naturally the news was known to Lin Shiqin.
"No, just let them be."
The Zerg have maxed out their survival talents, and they will dig underground whether they are reminded or not. Wang Yi never thought that the problem could be solved in one wave.
It doesn't matter if they use this little thing or not, it's just right for them to use it as a stepping stone...
"The probe has started firing."
"Let's prepare ours as well. Interplanetary orbital bombardment without satellite guidance. Just treat it as a drill..."
"Understood~"
…
Mars is directly attacked by cosmic radiation. Due to its thin atmosphere, various "sandstorms" are easily formed on the planet. Although the density of Mars' atmosphere is less than one percent of that of the Earth, sandstorms can cover the entire world.
Even some previous Mars rovers had to go into hibernation to survive the dark sandstorms.
As the ships, led by Starship II, arrived in the orbit of Mars and looked down at the planet below, Umbrella's ultra-high-definition cameras had captured images of the egg sheaths inserted upside down into the surface.
It is much clearer than previous photos taken by satellites in orbit around Mars.
At this moment, the long asteroid was like a sharp blade inserted into the ground of Mars.
The key point is that although it has not been long since it landed, some dark purple substance has already spread outward from the inverted position.
As the camera continues to zoom in and out, coupled with the clarity enhancement provided by artificial intelligence, it looks like a fungal carpet formed by slime mold hyphae.
Some insect eggs appeared openly on the fungal mats!
“So soon?”
"No way, are they all insect eggs ? Have any of them hatched?"
"Hey, let's blow it up right away. They all look so evil."
“…”
With the release of the pictures, most of the voices that had been clamoring to give them a chance and not bomb them immediately disappeared.
Why wasn't there this sound at the beginning?
Because there is an example of the New York invasion. If it is a creature from the abyss, no matter how stubborn it is, it will not call for "peace", and a very small number of individuals cannot have any impact.
The reason they spoke later was because someone leaked the news and let them know that this person did not seem to be a visitor from the abyss.
But now the speed at which this thing is expanding, as well as its evil appearance, are enough to make any normal person understand that this is not an easy thing to deal with!
We give them a chance...
That depends on whether they will give us a chance!
At this time, SX also released some pictures of their probe delivery.
Thanks to Umbrella's communication and camera technology innovations, the communication and shooting of Starship II itself are still very smooth.
From the perspective below the starship that entered the orbit of Mars, the three probes were directly ejected.
This red planet is completely different from the Earth. Sandstorms can be vaguely seen in the distance from space, and it is filled with chaos and ominousness.
In addition, the Zerg situation can be barely seen through the footage taken from orbit.
These three dropped probes inexplicably exude a sense of tragedy.
The other three spacecraft that had also reached orbit also dropped the probes at the same time, but none of them broadcast the event live.
"We have a total of 14 probes, all with landing buffers. Now we are really leaving it to fate. Because they were not designed for Mars, the interference we can cause to the probes under the gravity of Mars is quite limited. The main thrusters are used to slow down..."
Masra posted a tweet on the social platform himself, and then said in a heavy tone:
"It is estimated that less than one-third of the detectors will be able to work successfully..."
Then, he said again
"But they are useful. Even those detectors that may crash can be located on the surface as long as the signal module is correct, providing more accurate parameters for our next bombing. I personally feel that we can't wait any longer. The speed of these things is a bit beyond our expectations. We must solve it at the source..."
