Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 268 A Forest Fire

Mori Shantakuya finally fled back to the Dawn Colony in embarrassment, not daring to stop at other places on the way.

The subsequent development of the situation proved that his decision this time was very wise.

In less than 10 minutes, the command room of the Veritas sent signals that the outpost was attacked one after another, and all of them were red signal flares!
This shows that the beast horde has surrounded the entire colony from all directions!
Hyperion's face was ugly.

He found that the development of the situation has completely exceeded human expectations. The raging beast tide is even worse than the insect plague. At least the actions of insects can be predicted to some extent.

As a beast, Hyperion had no idea what kind of attack method a monster would choose, or what kind of puzzling choices it would make.

Freemasons still know too little about the surrounding jungle!

"Damn it! How many weapons are available on our battleships?"

Hyperon paced back and forth in the middle of the command room.

"Reporting His Holiness, due to the natural disaster, our sensors have been seriously disturbed, and all guided weapons and external electronic equipment cannot be used.

Conventional weapons are fine now, but aiming...

Unless we use pre-calibrated shooting elements, or use optical sights to fire at visual distance...

Otherwise, it will be difficult for our attack to hit the target directly! "

"In other words, our current attack method is nothing more than a more powerful World War II level?"

Hyperon's expression was not good, and the oppressive atmosphere caused the air pressure in the command room to drop sharply.

"Unfortunately, it is true! However, our naval guns are more powerful, if..."

Seeing that Hyperion was showing signs of losing his temper, his subordinates hurriedly tried to remedy it.

"Enough, let the engineers install more spare communication cables between the ships overnight, so as not to destroy the internal communication by wild beasts in subsequent street battles!"

"You mean..."

The subordinates were shocked.

"That's right! Immediately issue the No. 4 evacuation order to all external personnel. The Liming Colonial Army will use each ship as a unit to enter a defensive position and stick to the ships!

In addition, immediately mobilize all naval guns to carry out carpet bombing on the jungle surrounding the colony and drop napalm bombs!
I request to set up an unobstructed combat area with a depth of 10 kilometers outward with the colony as the center!

Strong walls and clear fields, so that those monsters have nowhere to hide! "

"But your lord! The guards at the outpost haven't withdrawn yet..."

"Ok?"

"Yes! I'll do it now!"

Under Hyperion's cold eyes, his subordinates did not dare to mention it any more, and immediately went to execute the order.

Soon, there was a series of explosions around the colony.

The naval gun is powerful, and it is very efficient when used to plow the land, especially after one of the most vicious weapons of human beings is used, the entire forest is ignited, and everything in life is screaming under the burning sky .

Hyperion's strategy effectively defeated the beast tide, but at the cost of:
Thousands of square kilometers of rainforest surrounding the Dawn Colony were completely burned by flames, turning into scorched earth.

The precious animal and plant resources and beautiful ecology in the forest have been completely destroyed.

The local creatures who escaped from here took away the hatred deeply rooted in their blood.

Hatred of humanity!

……

The fire continued all night and has not burned out.

In the second half of the night, even though it was raining heavily, the raging fire still showed no signs of being extinguished.

The Masonic scholars looked sad—the fire was out of control!

Nature will retaliate, especially when the timing coincides with the period of natural disasters.

When daylight fell the next day, the natural disasters in the rainforest area returned to their peak level, and the terrifying high temperature and radiation returned.

It can be said that dry wood meets raging fire.

The fire, which was already raging, had no reason to stop, and began to spread unstoppably to the surrounding area.

The Freemasonry hurriedly began to work on the manual fire fighting.

However, due to insufficient preparation and lack of materials, the effect of setting up isolation zones is not satisfactory, and the fire extinguishing agent cannot even set off a splash when thrown into the flames.

originally,
Rainforests during natural disasters become dry and fragile due to extraordinarily strong transpiration.

The fire of the Freemasonry directly broke this balance and became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Under the scorching fire,
What was destroyed was not only the trees and vegetation on the ground, but without the protection of those towering giant trees, the fragile ecology at the bottom of the forest was also ended.

Especially the bare ground around Dawn Colony.

The water on the surface is rapidly evaporated by radiation, the microbial community is disintegrated under high temperature, and the organic matter in the soil is seriously depleted under the bombardment of high-energy particles.

In just one day, this place is no longer suitable for farming!

The originally fairly beautiful environment of the Dawn Colony has experienced large-scale land cracks and the decline of vitality, and it has begun to rush in the direction of desertification and desertification.

This is not finished.

Due to the loss of the regulating effect of the surrounding rainforest, the temperature in the dawn colony has risen by more than 10 degrees!
In just half a day, 20% more equipment in the colony failed due to high temperature.

and,

Due to the excessive consumption of water, several groundwater wells began to rapidly reduce production, and the colony's water supply had problems, so it was forced to implement a stricter resource rationing system.

In just one day, Dawn Colony personally blew up the environment it depended on for survival into a desolate appearance like a wasteland continent!

On the third day, the flames finally went out.

Looking at the endless scorched earth, the high-level Freemasons wanted to cry but felt their hearts were bleeding.

Although everything in front of us prevented the beast horde from hitting the colony, it ruined the development prospects of the colony in an instant, and completely lost the early advantage of the colonial rainforest area.

Not only the mine was not found, but now there is no food output, and even drinking water depends on God's face.

Compared with the beast tide and natural disasters, which one is more harmful, the masonic venerables can't say for sure.

But from a long-term perspective, ecological damage is not a big deal. Didn’t the predecessors during the industrial revolution also come here?

As long as we can survive this natural disaster, ensure development, and find a way to recover in the future~
The high-level Freemasons thought so optimistically.

however,
Did they think that if the beast horde was wiped out at the cost of the environment, they would really be able to sit back and relax?
On the evening of the fourth day,
The temperature has finally dropped a bit, but the air is still filled with the lingering burnt smell.

woo~
Alarms are ringing over Dawn Colony again!
"Enemy attack! It's a wave of beasts!"

"Beast tide? How is it possible!"

The high-level Freemasons woke up from their dream in an instant. They came to the screen and looked at the black smoke spewing from the edge of the forest in horror and anger, sweeping towards the colony overwhelmingly.

It was the ashes of vegetation brought up by the herd of beasts running, and it was also the ashes of other lives.

The attack of this wave of beasts is far more violent than the last one!
Why is this happening?

"Fire, fire now!"

The Freemasons didn't care to get to the bottom of it, and immediately opened fire, and the tragic charge of the herd was paved.
