Hearing Lin Tao's answer, Xie Annan was shocked and astonished, and his eyes flashed with a bright light. This was the first time he heard of creatures that could survive in the starry sky, and this was also another purpose of his undercover work as a star pirate.
Although the Space Pirates have a bad reputation, they have another side, that is, Space Adventurers! Almost half of the planets discovered by the Interstellar Federation today were discovered by these people. No matter how evil they usually do, it is undeniable that the Space Pirates are the pioneers of Space Adventurers.
It is for this reason that the Interstellar Federation turned a blind eye to them and deliberately ignored their robbery and murder.
Of course, this is just what some high-level people on record say.
Moreover, from the information collected from the Star Pirates, these Star Pirates seemed to have encountered some special creatures, a kind of creature that can survive in the starry sky. Unfortunately, these messages are only sporadic fragments and are not enough for in-depth discussion.
For this reason, during his time in Star Pirates, Xie Annan was also responsible for finding out the existence of these strange creatures.
At this moment, Xie Annan did not expect that he would actually see real star creatures on the No. 5 mining star in the Mingyuan Star Field, and there were more than one of them.
"Is this the starry sky creature? No wonder!" Using the surveillance camera again, looking at Kongli's rock-hard shell, Xie Annan couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.
The pressure of the starry sky is extremely high. Without this hard outer shell, it would be impossible to withstand such a huge pressure. Even humans have to wear heavy space suits to enter the starry sky.
But why does Mining Star No. 5 have such a large number of star creatures?
Xie Annan was confused again.
At this time, at Lin Tao's reminder, the K223 mecha finally regrouped after moving away from the coast and launched another attack on the monsters that were right in front of them.
The closer the distance, the shorter the attack interval, and the instability of the light beam is greatly increased.
There is no need to fire five cannons at the same time; four beams of light are enough to kill a Kongli.
Before the Kongli could get close, the K223 mecha divisions, under Lin Tao's command, had already destroyed nearly half of the Kongli.
After being shocked, Xu Yuanliang finally calmed down when he saw that the light beam was effective against Kongli. He joined in the fight and killed Kongli together with a group of K223 mecha warriors.
One after another, Kongli were pierced by the light beam and fell into the sea with a plop.
The sea surface, which originally appeared red from afar, was stained with too much liquid sprayed out of Kongli's body, thus turning into a dark green color like emerald.
At this moment, if I return to the air again, I will definitely be able to see the sea surface that was originally difficult to detect.
Gulp~ Gulp~ Suddenly, a large number of bubbles emerged from the emerald green sea surface. Not only were there numerous bubbles, but they also appeared at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they had formed a large bubble in the air.
"What are those bubbles?"
"Could it be that there are still a lot of monsters in the sea?"
…
The K223 mecha divisions were shocked.
Lin Tao frowned as he looked at the large number of bubbles that appeared. His eyes flickered a few times and his heart suddenly moved. He recalled the information about Kongli in later generations in his mind.
"It's the mother!" Lin Tao's pupils suddenly contracted.
Every Kongli colony has a mother. Although there are a large number of bubbles appearing on the sea surface at a high speed, the body of the mother is several times smaller than that of an ordinary Kongli.
No one knows what happened, and no one knows why.
However, later studies have found that the Kongli mother group not only possesses a higher level of intelligence, but also its strength varies greatly depending on the size of the group.
Generally speaking, the smaller the group of Kongli mother, the weaker its strength. Its strength is only about twice that of Kongli, and the 200mm laser can still have an effect on it.
However, once you encounter a large group of Kongli mothers, it will be really troublesome. A large number of Kongli continuously supplement nutrients to the Kongli mother, causing its strength to increase exponentially. Generally, it has a strength of about ten times that of an ordinary Kongli, which is specifically reflected in the outer shell.
Without a 500mm caliber laser beam, it is impossible to penetrate the outer shell of the Kongli mother body of a large Kongli group.
Lin Tao frowned slightly, carefully recalling the number of Kongli before.
Generally, a population of 1,000-2,000 Kongli can be considered a small population, but once the number exceeds 2,000, or even reaches over 3,000, it can be considered a medium-sized population.
If you encounter a medium-sized population of Kongli mother, it will be an extremely tricky thing.
Lin Tao counted with his fingers and found that the number of Kongli that were killed and fell to the bottom of the sea was close to one thousand. In addition, there were no less than five hundred Kongli floating in the air, and the number was almost reaching one thousand five hundred.
Lin Tao's heart tightened and he looked at the sea again. He saw that one Kongli after another was rising from the sea at a leisurely pace.
"Are they two small Kongli tribes, or a whole one?" Lin Tao's expression changed slightly.
Kongli are different from ordinary social creatures. Sometimes they live together in two or three groups. According to Lin Tao's judgment, this Dead Sea can only accommodate at least two or three small groups. But if the situation changes and a small Kongli group appears, it will be difficult to deal with.
Gulp! Gulp! The speed of the bubbles emerging from the sea surface increased again, and even the sound of the bubbles bursting densely reached Lin Tao's ears from afar.
"Zheng Cheng, do you have any laser cannons with a larger caliber?" Lin Tao quickly dialed Zheng Cheng's number.
"A larger caliber laser cannon?" Zheng Cheng was startled, then nodded: "Yes, among the resources sent by the Interstellar Federation, there are two 400mm caliber laser cannons."
Diameter 400mm?
This is still a long way from what Lin Tao expected, but if two are used at the same time, it might work.
Thinking of this, Lin Tao asked repeatedly: "Where are these two laser cannons?"
"Lin Tao, didn't you say that we only need a 200mm caliber laser cannon? These two laser cannons are..."
Before Zheng Cheng could finish his words, there was a loud bang from the sea. The huge noise even caused a series of harsh crackling sounds in the communication between the two people, almost interrupting the communication waves between the two people.
"What...what happened...what happened?" Zheng Cheng's communication became intermittent.
Lin Tao's face darkened and he quickly looked towards the sea surface where a large number of bubbles were emerging. He saw a huge Kongli rising little by little from the sea surface.
This Kongli is twice the size of an ordinary Kongli. Its huge size allows everyone to clearly see the ferocious armor on its body.
On the armor, there are many tentacle-like tentacles, floating around strangely in the air.
"Why is there another big guy here?"
"No way, this guy is twice as big as the previous one."
"Could it be that we have encountered their leader?"
…
The mecha public channel, the radio waves had just been restored, and the mecha masters were shouting and making a mess.
"Zheng Cheng, where are those two laser cannons?" Seeing the even larger Kongli mother body, Lin Tao's face instantly turned pale.
The mother of a small Kongli group is at least twice the size of an ordinary Kongli. The Kongli mother in front of us is definitely a medium-sized Kongli group with a number of more than 3,000! Big trouble!
Lin Tao felt his scalp tingling.
For a medium-sized Kongli colony, their mother's defense will be several times stronger.
Zheng Cheng also sensed the danger from the shape of the Kongli mother body in front of him, and quickly replied: "The two laser cannons are still in the Blood Wolf Gang base. I will immediately send the aerospace spacecraft to deliver them as quickly as possible."
Damn it! Lin Tao almost burst into curses.
Given the huge size of the aerospace spacecraft, it would definitely become the target of the Kongli in an instant. This is why Lin Tao ordered the aerospace spacecraft to leave immediately before the war.
But now he had no choice. Facing this Kongli mother body, the 200mm laser cannon was completely useless.
"Tell them to send it over as quickly as possible." Lin Tao gritted his teeth.
At the same time, Lin Tao also gave an order through the mecha public channel: "Everyone listen up, ignore the giant Kongli, and attack the other smaller Kongli immediately."
After a pause, Lin Tao ordered again: "Abandon the five-man team and adopt the four-man mode. Four guns aim at one head at the same time. We must solve those ordinary Kongli in the shortest time possible."
The K223 mecha division had no idea what Kongli was, but since Lin Tao had given the order, they immediately executed it as quickly as possible.
There is no other reason. Lin Tao not only designed extremely high-performance mechas for them, but also helped them strengthen their bodies. He even possesses the strength of the strongest mecha master. In the eyes of all K223 mecha masters, Lin Tao's status is even no less than Zheng Tuo.
Even more so, with just one order from Lin Tao, these K223 mecha warriors might give up their Blood Wolf Gang identities and directly become Lin Tao's subordinates.
"Lin Tao, what should we do with that big guy?"
Xie Annan was one of the few people who dared to call out Lin Tao's full name. When he saw the huge guy, his face looked extremely ugly.
"Don't worry about it. The 200mm beam has no effect on its shell."
Lin Tao said in a deep voice.
These words fell into the ears of every mecha pilot on the mecha public channel. Xu Yuanliang shuddered when he heard them. Subconsciously, he pulled the joystick tightly and almost controlled the mecha to retreat backwards.
But when he saw the K223 around him, they did not retreat but advanced, and formed teams of four to attack the surrounding empty spaces. He could not help but let out a long sigh.
"Well, let's die. After all, we have already recognized Lin Tao as our master. If we retreat at this time, we will probably be either turned into liquid by the ferocious beast or destroyed on the spot by those K223 mecha divisions."
After Xu Yuanliang gritted his teeth secretly, he immediately summoned two teammates who were also Star Pirates. They came to the Flying Dragon Mecha together and formed a team with Xie Annan.
"Thank you, Captain. Let's form a team together." Xu Yuanliang shouted.
"Okay, follow my orders and attack together." Seeing the three non-K223 aircraft, Xie Annan naturally understood the identities of the three and nodded.
Four Star Pirates formed a team. Although their reaction speed was not as good as those of the enhanced K223 Mecha Divisions, they also demonstrated their impressive abilities under the command of Xie Annan.
The Kongli mother body was huge, and it did not rise quickly from the seabed. It took nearly three or four minutes before it emerged above the sea level as a whole.
Squeak~ After coming out of the sea, the mother Kongli let out a huge scream. The sound was like scraping on glass, stinging the eardrums and making people extremely uncomfortable.
Although the K223s were very far away from the mother ship of the Kongli, the sound came from afar and entered their ears directly through the cockpit.
The sharp and terrifying sound made many people feel a chill in their hearts. For example, Xu Yuanliang’s two Star Pirate teammates fainted on the spot after hearing the sound.
