Chapter 90 Suppressing the Swarm
"Bang bang bang..." The first counterattack was the large-caliber cannon, and the patrol of the Brotherhood did not rush into the swarm.

However, the bug's skin and muscles were unexpectedly tough. The large-caliber machine gun hit the body, leaving only some small wounds of about ten centimeters, and these wounds were still healing rapidly.

The harsh living environment endowed these insects with a tenacious body, and unless they were shot intensively by machine guns, they would not be fatal at all.

Even though the dense swarm of insects lacked space to dodge, only a few unlucky insects were torn apart by the machine guns by surprise, and most of the rest were only wounded.

Moreover, the reaction speed of these bugs was extremely fast, and a large amount of yellow sand gathered in an instant, turning into a layer of rock armor on their bodies.

This layer of rock armor is not enough to block the armor-piercing projectiles of large-caliber machine guns.

The shell hit the rock armor, and countless gravels splashed instantly.

But after being weakened by the rock armor, the shells are no longer enough to penetrate the tough skin of the bug.

Fortunately, the Brotherhood seems to have been prepared for a long time, and responded instantly: "Change to armor-piercing incendiary bombs!"

After the armor-piercing incendiary bomb penetrated the rock armor of the swarm, the thermite incendiary in the warhead was ignited, and the flames radiated in all directions, causing countless bugs to roll all over the ground.

No matter how tough the skin of these bugs is, they are only made of biological materials, and cannot withstand the thousands of degrees of high-temperature thermite combustion agent.

The damage caused by this round of attack to the swarm is higher than the damage caused by the armor-piercing projectile in the first round.

The Brotherhood's attack was not over yet. After a round of armor-piercing incendiary bombs, dozens of incendiary rockets shot into the swarm, and the swarm was instantly engulfed in flames.

Ordinary fire is not enough to kill these bugs, after all, they will burrow into the ground.

However, it managed to break up the swarm of bugs and let them scatter in all directions.

Patrols from the Brotherhood then took the initiative to hunt down the scattered bugs.

"I'm well prepared!" Ian commented after watching the entire battle.

Although this small bug swarm was wiped out cleanly by the Brotherhood, Ian did not take these bugs lightly.

Not to mention other things, just the collective consciousness of the swarm and the ability to control the soil have very high plasticity.

This time there were only a few hundred bugs, and they were not big enough to be seen.

What if the swarms gather to thousands or tens of thousands?
At that time, it will definitely threaten the life and death of the city!
Fortunately, Magneto and Professor X are here, they can come to support at any time, and the threat of the swarm is still within the controllable range.

The battle is over!

While the Brotherhood was cleaning the battlefield, the three of Ian had already returned to Earth through the space gate.

After returning to Earth, Ian immediately issued an order to the Mutant Academy to ask the research base to form a technology team as required.

In view of the limited scientific and technological strength of the brotherhood, Ian increased the number of scientific and technological teams to 500 people.

Anyway, Yixing also has his share, this time it will be regarded as an early investment!
While waiting for the technology team, Ian asked Magneto again: "Eric, do you need to help the Brotherhood bring some people back for rotation?"

Magneto considered for a moment, but finally shook his head and refused: "No!"

For reasons of secrecy, he still decided not to allow members of the Outerworld Brotherhood to return to Earth.

Ian didn't insist on this, but just made a request: "It's okay not to rotate, but it's better not to continue to transfer the main force of the Brotherhood to stay on Earth!"

With Magneto's keenness, he naturally understood the meaning hidden in Ian's words in an instant: "Is someone on Earth planning to attack our Brotherhood?"

"It's not against the Brotherhood, but it's hard for us mutants to stay out of it this time!" Ian replied. He didn't explain in detail, and it was difficult to explain what hadn't happened yet.

"Okay! I got it!" Magneto didn't ask further.

Instead, Professor X asked: "Do you want me to come forward at X Academy?"

"I'll send someone from Academy X to notify them. Just let them act together with the fraternity. Professor, you should continue to hide in the dark!" Ian replied.

He actually didn't plan to bring this up today, but he was just worried that Magneto would send all his people to a different planet, and no one would be available at that time.

That's why I reminded Magneto in advance!
Ian's order came so suddenly that Serena felt that she couldn't figure it out, so she had to find Aisha, and Aisha found John.

As the person in charge of the research base, John knows the research personnel of the base best.

After reading the list that Aisha handed over, he said helplessly: "Mechanics, architecture, meteorology, geology, ecology, biology... Most of these are relatively partial subjects in our college, and there are not many people in them. If 500 people are randomly transferred, most projects may have to be suspended!"

"For a research project with a small number of people, the whole scientific research team can be transferred together!" Aisha thought for a while and directly suggested.

"This... seems to be okay!" John thought for a while and added: "Since everyone has passed, let's send their research equipment there too!"

"Okay! That's it!" Aisha nodded in agreement.

John and Serena went to persuade the selected scientific research team to prepare to relocate, while Aisha found the door and asked him to open the portal to the central base of Hope Island.

In less than two hours, a scientific research team of more than 500 people gathered together, and together with their equipment, they came to the base in the center of Hope Island through the portal.

Fortunately, Magneto built the base big enough, and a scientific research team of hundreds of people can accommodate it.

In the beginning, these people actually complained to some extent. After all, this transfer was too sudden, there was no preparation time, and there was no room for choice.

It's just that because of the authority that Ian has been building all along, no one speaks out.

But if they don't say it, it doesn't mean that Ian can't feel it. These people trust him so much that he can't pretend that he doesn't know anything.

So, after installing the scientific research equipment, Ian gathered them together.

"Aren't you curious why so many of you were suddenly called here?"

Ian waved his hand, and the three-dimensional model of the alien star was projected.

"That's why!"

With another wave of hand, a three-dimensional model of an alien star appeared in front of everyone's eyes, allowing them to observe at will.

"This is a newly discovered planet of life, and we mutants have already established a base on it."

"However, the natural environment of this planet is very harsh, and it is completely unsuitable for human survival outside the base!"

"This is your next research topic, to transform the environment of the entire alien planet into an environment suitable for human survival!"

"For the future of mutants, work hard! You are the best scientific researchers, I believe you can do it!"

After speaking, Ian quickly stepped down, but what he said had caused an uproar among the more than 500 people!
Of course, it also successfully stimulated their passion!
It took more than a day to arrange these more than 500 people.

In the end, most of them went to alien stars, and the other half stayed on Earth.

The reason why not all of them go to alien planets is because some research needs to use the equipment and resources of the earth, and it is inconvenient to go to alien stars.

"Eric, I'll leave them to you!"

"Ian, don't worry, I guarantee that they will not be in any danger!"
