Chapter 103 The Battle of the Base of the Coal Mine
As the saying goes, there is no book without a coincidence.

However, in Zhou Ning's encounter, there is a certainty hidden in the coincidence.

Gongye Yulong plucked the strings of fate, changing the flavor of the coincidence.

From this point of view, the Qimen mages are indeed powerful chess players, allowing their opponents to fall into the chess game without knowing it.

Regarding Master Qimen's calculations, it's not true that Zhou Ning is not a little wary.

It's just that when people are immersed in something, it's easy to ignore other things around them.

In Zhou Ning's previous life, he was too involved in playing LOL in an Internet cafe, and someone took his phone from his pocket.

He didn't grow much in this life, he was immersed in the full-scale battle with the swarm, and he had already forgotten the possible role of Master Qimen.

Of course, even if you remember, there is no good way to deal with this kind of mysterious tricks, on the contrary, it is easy to be discouraged by resentment.

After all, Zhou Ning is actually a person who likes to calculate small accounts.

When he feels that it is not cost-effective to do one thing, he will probably just cut the meat and abandon the pit, and he will comfort himself with words like decisiveness.

Lack of the tough and tenacious spirit of fighting to the end and fighting to the last soldier may be one of the reasons why he was so ordinary in his previous life.

Zhou Ning received the bad news that a swarm of insects appeared near the coal mine, and the progress of the second arsenal was only 17%.

Although he has other clones, the construction of the arsenal mainly involves his consciousness, not the current character.

Moreover, there is no way to entrust the system to do such complex and large-scale rituals.

Faced with difficult choices, he chose to go his own way and continue to build an arsenal.

From a certain point of view, the arsenal is a large compound magic weapon like Fuche.

Specifically, it consists of multiple sub-processors, or modular components.

Such magical equipment is said to be placed on the ground, but in fact it also contains components for assembly and manufacturing.

If it is abandoned halfway, it is equivalent to smelting steel in an electric furnace, and as a result, the power is cut off halfway. Not only is the steel in the furnace wasted, but it may also be sintered with the equipment, and the equipment is scrapped together.

Choosing the lesser of two evils, Zhou Ning sent Yin Dao and Ba Jian to support him with a certain fluke mentality.

Tu Xingsun, relying on his Tudun ability, was the main force in the war at the Chongtu base, and he couldn't be transferred.

Both Yindao and Bajian have passed level 50 now, but their skill growth is far less amazing than the skill growth of a series of characters used by Zhou Ning.

When the two arrived at the coal mine with reinforcements, the fight was already in full swing.

As a sub-base, the coal mine does not lack protective construction.

In addition, Zhou Ning suffers from a lack of firepower phobia, and has a soft spot for {StarCraft} human bunkers. For this reason, the outer guard posts are equipped with bunkers.

But this time, the bunkers didn't work as they should.

The swarm showed extremely professional desert combat capabilities.

Their sand blowing chariot bugs are like super-powered bulldozers.As it pushed forward, it raised gravel in front of it.

These gravels, combined with extraordinary energy, form a flowing sand screen.

Zhou Ning is proud of the bunker automatic cannon, which has nothing to do with such a mobile sand screen.

Only the rail guns on the central sentry tower can pose a threat to the chariot bugs behind the sand curtain.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ning can't afford too many of these weapons at present.

A standard sentry tower has a pattern of four bunkers and one sentry tower, and another squadron of ten Goliaths is stationed.

As a result, such a sentry tower was pulled down by the abundant force of the swarm.

The first is to destroy the rail gun on the top of the sentry tower, and then use the sand curtain of the chariot bug to enter.

Once entering the stage of hand-to-hand combat, Goliath appears to be more hip.

Although its firepower is not bad, it can't kill a few war bugs in a very short period of time.The key is that once it is at close range, the problem of its shooting dead angle is exposed.

The war worm not only has high defense and thick armor, but the basic tactical action of "King of Qin walks around the pillar" is also very smooth.

There are also techniques such as sliding shovel drilling crotch.

All in all, the combat insects who are good at hand-to-hand combat are not low in both comprehensive attributes and fighting skills. Goliath is obviously clumsy in comparison.

This is not only due to Goliath's body structure, but also because Goliath's machine soul is somewhat low-end. Although it has the function of learning, it has not yet grown up.

War bugs are different. Like warlocks, war bugs use bloodline mining techniques.

In terms of science and technology, it means that knowledge is packaged and compressed into genetic genes, and you only need to unlock the corresponding genetic locks to master relevant knowledge immediately.

This knowledge is the crystallization of wisdom accumulated by the swarm with a history of 10 years of existence.

It is precisely because of this that the external form of the swarm can be called ancient, what it was like 10,000+ years ago, and what it is now.

Zhou Ning created a new bug soldier based on human beings, but he subconsciously followed the rules.After all, his relevant knowledge and technology are basically based on human beings. Not to mention the animal posture, adding two more arms is a series of changes for him. The extra arms may not be able to be used well. Potentially a liability.

Correspondingly, the Goliath product has a very heavy intention of testing and collecting combat data.

It turned out that one side was a testing machine, and the other side was a skilled worker, so it was not surprising that they were hanged and beaten.

Being entangled by war insects, he couldn't even run away.

If it wasn't for Zhou Ning's ruthless nature of the 'fourth natural disaster', Goliath was equipped with a self-destruct function and set relevant regulations;

Then, when the bug swarm pushed to the coal mine base, it could stir up more than 100 bone flags to hit the morale of Zhou Ning's side.

That's how brutal the Swarm is.

They will collect all the cell tissues and convert them into nutrients.

Even the bugs killed by one's own side are treated in this way.

And the bones of the enemy will be used by them, including making bone banners.

Attacking the coal mine base, the swarm still used the previous tactics.

They are more or less dead-brained. As long as the tactics are effective, they will be used all the time and will not be easily changed.

The coal mine base has high walls.

For Zhou Ning, whoever dares to call it a base must have a high wall.

This is the sequelae caused by the end of the previous life {Red Alert}.

Red Alert has a relatively bad tactic, which is to forcibly break through the enemy's firepower network, or take advantage of the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower to launch a sneak attack.

The helicopter dropped off the engineer, directly occupied the enemy headquarters, and sold it off.

In this way, not only the enemy's key facilities are destroyed, but also a sum of money is obtained. At the same time, a few small soldiers will be spawned. Even if these small soldiers set up positions in place, they can often cause certain damage and harassment to other surrounding facilities. At the same time, it can also increase the maintenance cost of the enemy.

In order to prevent such obscene tactics, building a wall for the headquarters and blocking the enemy's occupation path has become an inevitable step.

Over time, a connection of ideas has been formed. To build a base, a wall must be built.

Especially Zhou Ning is still a 'gou Liu' player.

Playing Red Police, he likes to go all the way to the enemy's house from the tower.

When playing StarCraft, I like bunkers, anti-aircraft towers, and tanks to advance the tactics of positions.

In fact, this is all about playing dumb and fighting.

It was precisely because of the excellent defense that Zhou Ning took a certain amount of luck when he made the decision, trying to make the basic defense system resist the attack of the swarm.

As a result, the swarm was only created by the sand curtain, which basically abolished the firepower of the bunker that he was more interested in.

Facing the city wall is the same, step-tank coordination, the chariot worms that create the sand curtain are in front, and the war worms are behind the chariots, using their cover to cross the most lethal frontline zone constructed by pure long-range strikes.

However, the base is no more than an outpost after all, the firepower network is matched with high and low, there are many bunkers, and there are also many outposts.

This kind of elevated sentry tower can be called an energy version of a large archery tower, in order to provide a good shooting field of view and angle for the direct-firing rail gun.

Otherwise, with the cover of rolling sand dunes, it will not be able to play its value of hitting far, accurate and powerful.

In addition, the base also has howitzers and smoothbore guns that arc against the rails.

They are all psionic cannons, the former can hit farther, while the latter has a large caliber and is powerful.

In order to deal with this kind of blow, the swarm side has two prongs.

On the one hand, they use true submerged units, trying to break through the line of fire from underground.

On the other hand, the grass-roots commanders of the insect swarm cast spell-like skills one after another to strengthen the effect of the sand screen and provide shelter for the attacking war insects.

As a result, the submerged troops finally made meritorious service.

The coal mine base did not establish a gossip lock (gold) array.

There is no qualified 'prison' here, and there is no energy pool that Zhou Ning prefers to call 'gold'.

There are two main reasons for not building.

First of all, the scale of the base is relatively large. If the Eight Diagrams Array wants to cover such a large area, the energy consumption is relatively high.

This is extraordinary energy consumption, and it cannot be replaced by consumption and inferiority.

As soon as Zhou Ning settled the accounts, he felt that it was too painful, so he didn't do it.

Another reason is that the establishment of the Bagua array requires a series of instruments as the nodes of the array.

Refining such a batch of magical artifacts cost a lot of money, Zhou Ning was not willing.

He still has two sets of related instruments, one is a watchtower obtained from the dead Taoists, and it is refined through the system.

The other set was the relevant blueprint given by the system, which he made by hand.

The brand new set is now deployed in Chongtu, and the so-called good steel is used on the blade.

The set of cleansing is the foundation of Fork Road Fortress.

Others, namely the main base, used low-grade but larger permanent magic circles, and the rest did not have magic circles.

Without a magic circle, even if a thick and large energy floor was placed, it was still broken by the submerged chariot bug and rushed up.Suddenly, the defense line was under attack.

When Yindao and Bajian led the team to the coal mine base, the swarm had already passed through the submerged chariot worms and delivered the third batch of war worms.

Goliath, who was defending, was stuck with a hammer by these white-bladed war bugs, and blew himself up from time to time, and the scene was very chaotic.

Hidden Knife directly turns on the instant kill mode.

It can now easily withstand the pressure and consumption of continuous flash kills, and its high attack characteristics have been further strengthened.

Killing these famous monsters that don't give experience to it is basically a small pot of friends with one knife.

Ba Jian's "Limited Invincible Charge" has also become more powerful. It often seduces the opponent to cast a spell, and then uses this move to invalidate the attack of his spell, and at the same time completes the face riding and slashes.

Like the Hidden Sword, the Bajian is also equipped with a full set of sophisticated magic weapons, and it cuts monsters with a level-crushing attitude. Although it can't achieve a single knife and a small pot of friends, the killing effect is bloody and brutal, and it has the side effect of lowering the enemy's morale .

In addition to Ba Jian Yin Dao, Zhou Ning also sent some special forces.

As advanced specialized insect soldiers, they basically don't have Goliath's shortcomings. They are flexible and fierce. The key is that they fight in a small group, and their tactical coordination is changeable, which is not comparable to Goliath.

Different types of insect soldiers have a clear division of labor. The big snipers tend to give priority to killing those beetle war insects that are rough and fleshy and not fast enough. The fierce firepower of the assault insects makes those war insects who are trying to ride the enemy's face very desperate. Basically, it will be smashed into slag when it is pasted.

The Hidden Sword and Bajian protected the precarious defense line of the barrier, and the supporting Goliath also filled the shooting vacancy on the barrier again.

This caused the insect soldiers who had already rushed under the barrier and started climbing to attack the city to die in droves.

Originally ravaged by the concentrated fire of rail guns, there were not many chariot bugs rushing over, but now the war bugs were consumed as quickly as melting snow under the scorching sun, and there seemed to be no soldiers to use.

The swarm commander already knew the operation had failed.

It dispatched the intelligence worms that recorded the entire combat process back to the nest, and took the worms of the submerged chariot to connect the last part of the elite and reserve combat forces to form the fourth wave of submerged assault troops.

This time, the target of the swarm's attack was not the combat force represented by Goliath, but the production facilities of the base.

Ordinary war bugs work hard, and elite war bugs act as smart bombs.

The Goliath patrolled by the three-machine team, and the fixed machine turret sprayed flames frantically, and the flame whip formed caused the insects to sever limbs and blood.

But they still use their bodies to complete the guard work.

Boom!Boom!boom!
The coal mine production system was bombed in many places, and the most powerful bombing came from the swarm commander of this operation. The central facility of the coal mine base was billowing with thick smoke, and one-third of it was destroyed by the bombing.

The mining system was severely damaged and operations ceased.

Although Yin Dao and Ba Jian led the team to kill every moving bug, the damage has already been done, and there is little point in venting their anger...
