Chapter 28: The biological structure that evolves again
When the Uruk approached the planet Ziapria, the Hive Mind immediately took up defense, and the densely packed Hive spacecraft quickly formed a biological shield above the planet's low-Earth orbit.
The structure of these Hive spacecraft is very special. The dark gray chitin composite material has a metallic luster. The addition of metal atoms to the chitin molecular grid further strengthens the armor strength, which can resist powerful directional energy and high-speed kinetic energy impact.
The only thing not protected by the Hive spacecraft is the exposed spherical top of the biological structure, which has exceeded the low-Earth orbit.
The structure of the biostructure that spans the continent is far more complex than when the Killing Squad discovered it. The gray-white carapace covering its surface is completely connected and has a regular honeycomb-like hollow structure. The huge spherical top has violent subspace fluctuations around it.
Tai Yue and Kliptman, who are located in the command center of the Blackstone Fortress, stared at the images sent back by the Uruk and realized that the defense power of the planet Ziapria should not be underestimated.
"God Emperor, this further illustrates the importance of the psychic lighthouse to the hive consciousness!"
Inquisitor Kliptman expressed his thoughts. Such an important target must be destroyed at all costs.
"You can test the strength of the hive fleet's defense. The Uruk will attack the Tyranid enemies with all its strength!"
Tai Yue gave Nelson an attack order, and the latter immediately executed it after receiving the order.
The light spear array first hit a hive ship in orbit, and the bombing lasted for more than ten seconds before stopping.
Surprisingly, the hive ship hit by the light spear did not crash. Although the biological armor on the surface of the hive ship was vaporized, there was almost no damage inside. The biological ship immediately lowered its orbital altitude and other biological ships replaced its defense position.
A large number of attack torpedoes followed with dazzling plasma engine tail flames and pierced the defense wall formed by the hive ships.
At the same time, the hive ships fired dense biological plasma for interception. The biological plasma detonated most of the torpedoes, and a few torpedoes passed through the intercepting artillery fire and directly hit several biological ships.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
One Tyranid spaceship after another exploded in the air, lost control and fell into the corrupted ocean, raising huge waves of digestive fluid.
The Tyranid spaceship was quickly dissolved by the digestive fluid on the way to the bottom of the sea, turning into the most basic biomass, and finally passed to the biological construct through capillaries.
The biomass captured by the Tiamat Hive Fleet was also provided to the biological construct in this way, but the biomass formed by digesting the hive spaceship is not only a source of nutrition for the biological construct, but also a chemical signal to activate the psychic energy of the biological construct.
The biological construct slowly woke up after absorbing the hive spaceship, and the flesh and blood inside the shell began to move, making a low sound of internal organs moving, and the gray brain matter flashed blue light one after another, extending from the bottom of the construct to the top sphere.
When the flashing frequency of all the blue lights was the same, the sphere on the top of the biological construct launched a psychic shock wave, instantly engulfing the universe where the Uruk was located.
The subspace energy detection auspicious instrument of the Uruk kept flashing, and at the same time, the painful screams of mortal servants sounded in the ship.
Faced with a powerful psychic attack, Nelson and the Interceptor automatically activated the metal cells in their bodies and turned into silver giants immune to psychic attacks.
All members of the Killing Squad vomited blood. They relied on their strong will to stay awake. The mortal servants in the ship were unable to resist such a powerful psychic attack. All their brains exploded and fell in a pool of blood!
The psychic impact also caused communication chaos. Almost an hour later, Tai Yue received the communication from Nelson.
The Uruk was far away from the planet Ziapriya at this moment and was changing its orbit to return to the Blackstone Fortress.
"Emperor, the destroyed hive ship falling into the corrupted ocean will trigger a psychic impact. This should be the defense mechanism of the psychic lighthouse!"
Nelson reported his guess. He found that the initial attack of the Uruk and the subsequent destruction of the pursuing hive ship did not trigger the psychic attack of the biological construct. The crash of more hive ships may trigger a stronger psychic impact.
The expressions of the people in the command center of the Blackstone Fortress were solemn. They knew the psychic long-range attack capability of the psychic lighthouse for the first time.
The biological constructs and the hive ships form an integrated offensive and defensive system. It is difficult for the Second Fleet to approach the planet Ziapria, let alone defeat the hive ships defending the planet Ziapria and bomb and destroy the psychic lighthouse.
The ground combat forces of the Second Fleet cannot land on this planet. The surface covered by the corrupted ocean has no foothold at all. Even if they are wearing heavy armor, they will be decomposed by digestive fluid.
Tai Yue immediately shared this information with the fleet of the Triple Far Forge World, and communicated with the Sage Webster of the Ruler about the new combat plan through conventional communication.
Among the fleets brought by the Sage Webster of the Ruler, more than half of the warships are unmanned automatic combat ships. The machine souls carried can face complex battlefield environments and eliminate the enemy with the highest efficiency.
These unmanned combat ships were developed after the Triple Far Forge World was attacked by the Kraken Hive Fleet. The main purpose is to efficiently destroy the hive ships without replenishing the mission biomass for the Tyranids.
After several hours of discussion, Master Tai Yue, Inquisitor Kliptman and Sage Webster of the Ruler finally determined the combat plan. The whole plan is divided into three stages:
The first stage is that the unmanned warships use laser or plasma ship-borne weapons to consume the defending hive ships, try to vaporize the biomass of the entire ship, and prevent the wreckage of the hive ships from falling into the corrupted ocean.
The second stage is to let the Blackstone Fortress activate the anti-psychic turrets to defend against psychic attacks while attacking the planet Ziapriya and orbiting the biological structure.
If the orbital bombardment cannot destroy the biological structure, the third stage of the action will be launched. The Ninth Brotherhood will directly land on the biological structure and try to destroy the psychic lighthouse from the inside.
The ruling sage Webster successively activated the automatic attack code of each unmanned warship. The unmanned warships accelerated towards the planet Ziapriya, and the manned warships approached the Blackstone Fortress.
The war to destroy the psychic lighthouse has finally begun!
(In the official background, the Star Gods devoured the souls of the Necrontyr when their bodies were transformed. Therefore, although the Star Gods are god-level BOSS in the physical universe, they can also interfere with the etheric domain or the subspace, just like the Chaos Gods interfere with the physical universe.
The two metal organs of the Ninth Brotherhood come from the Star God Void Dragon. The spirit bone generation organ is an organ that strengthens and controls psychic energy. The mechanical heart can resist psychic attacks and activate in the forbidden magic field. In the later plot, facing the exorcism dead domain of the space necron, the Ninth Brotherhood will have to rely on a heavy punch. Please vote for the monthly ticket and recommendation ticket!)
