Those who reincarnate must die.

With Zhang Lang's order, the artificial intelligence immediately formulated a feasible plan based on the current situation, and the entire fleet began to operate.

This is also the standard combat method of human armies in this world.

In a technologically advanced world, artificial intelligence has completely replaced humans in tedious or computationally demanding tasks such as intelligence gathering, command transmission, tactical planning, and fleet mobilization.

The role of humans is mainly to set goals and control the details.

For example, Zhang Lang, as the supreme commander, only needs to tell what the strategic goal of artificial intelligence is.

The large army below only needs to follow the instructions of the artificial intelligence.

As for the mid-level commanders, they are responsible for responding to problems that artificial intelligence cannot handle.

As the most advanced form of artificial intelligence, Zhuge is undoubtedly rational and efficient. The tactics he devises are theoretically the most reasonable. However, it is precisely because of his absolute rationality that he cannot understand the emotions that belong unique to living beings.

Living beings, especially intelligent beings, often engage in irrational behaviors that exceed the computational scope of artificial intelligence.

Therefore, in personnel management, cold-blooded artificial intelligence is far less useful than humans. In short, Zhuge Liang lacked human touch.

When formulating tactics, Zhuge Liang also relied on the premise that the opponent was absolutely rational and made predictions about the enemy's behavior. If the enemy fell into an irrational state, the accuracy of Zhuge Liang's predictions would drop significantly.

At this point, human assistance and error correction are needed.

Therefore, in human armies, although Zhuge Liang is the tactician, his authority level is not very high. Many mid-level officers have the authority to change orders to a certain extent based on the current situation.

Zhang Lang guessed that this was also an external auxiliary system given to him by the altar. After all, the threshold for commanding a future war of this scale is definitely not low. Not to mention so-called military literacy, he couldn't even understand how to operate various high-tech future equipment.

Zhuge Liang's existence meant that all the dirty and tiring work was taken care of, allowing him to simply use his wisdom.

As the fleet advanced, the destination, Dust Planet, soon appeared on the display screen.

This is a dark red planet. According to data sent back by the probe, the gravity of the planet is three times that of Earth. The oxygen content in its atmosphere is less than 3%, and it is full of sulfurous gases. The average temperature is around 75 degrees Celsius. The planet's surface is dry, but there are relatively abundant water veins underground. Theoretically, it can only support some primitive life forms.

Of course, these theories are not obstacles for the Zerg. As long as the planet can be used to establish themselves, the Zerg can use the energy radiated from the star to modify the planet's environment and turn it into a new nest for the Zerg, with extremely limited resources!

However, it is clear that the modification of this large dust planet is not yet complete, making it a good place to practice!

Without needing further instructions from Zhang Lang, Zhuge had already begun issuing orders, and the fleet lined up in the orbit of the Great Dust Star to begin the first round of bombing!

In the interstellar age, warfare is not a matter of a group of infantrymen charging forward with swords and guns, yelling and shouting. Especially when facing a swarm of disgusting insects, overwhelming firepower is the best strategy.

After the bombing, all areas on the planet Dust Star covered with fungal carpet were reduced to scorched earth. Next, Zhuge dispatched unmanned probes to approach the ground and begin orbiting, collecting data from the surface.

Soon, after analysis, several more attack points were identified.

One round of bombing is certainly not enough to completely eradicate the insects. The locations planned by Zhuge are all areas with a large number of signs of life. Obviously, there are more insects here, and they are more tenacious, so they need to be targeted!

Soon, after the second round of precise bombardment, all signs of the Zerg at these locations were erased, and the Zerg on Great Dust Star could no longer be detected by the detectors alone.

The third step, which is what everyone is eagerly anticipating, is the amphibious landing operation.

After all, humanity's goal was to conquer, not destroy, the planet. Therefore, while the previous bombing was intense, it preserved the planet's original environment as much as possible. The subsequent ground forces were tasked with both rebuilding and modifying the surface environment, and also with eliminating any remaining Zerg.

This stage is the longest and most prone to casualties.

Although the vast majority of the Zerg perished in the two bombing runs, some escaped. Given a total population of 600 million, at least a million Zerg survived on Great Dust Star. The human army had barely landed when they encountered a large-scale Zerg counterattack!

The most numerous of the Zerg are the Soldier Zerg. These insects are five meters long, three meters tall, and weigh over 500 kilograms. They are agile and nimble, with sharp pincers that can easily tear a small car to shreds. Imagine the terror of hundreds or thousands of these monsters gathered together.

And these are just the basic units in the Zerg army. More advanced than ordinary Zerglings are the massive, armored giants with hard shells; the slender, winged scythe-dragons with sharp limbs; the small, round bomb bugs with bellies full of flammable and explosive liquids; and the poisonous stinger bugs with ranged attacks that can launch poisonous spikes, and so on...

In Zhang Lang's mind, the physical fitness of humans was definitely no match for these insectoids that had evolved to the extreme, and they would most likely be caught in a bitter battle after landing.

However, reality was somewhat different from what he had expected.

These grotesque, diverse, and massive insects, numbering in the thousands, did not gain the slightest advantage against the human army!

Because what they faced was not the weak humans that Zhang Lang had in mind!

On the screen, a human soldier wearing heavy powered armor, over three meters tall, grabbed a menacing insect with one hand and pulled out a pistol even larger than Tiger Roar with the other, shoving it into the insect's mouth. With a bang, the shot blew up the insect's entire head and half of its chest.

On the other side, a human soldier, slender and incredibly fast, wielding two gleaming plasma swords, weaved through the swarm of bugs, slicing through over a dozen explosive bugs in moments. As the liquid inside their bellies exploded, this dual-wielding ranger had already moved on to other targets; the firelight only illuminated his back.

Further away, a giant mech over ten meters tall was pinning an armored behemoth to the ground with a massive spear. Its thick shell crumbled at the slightest touch, as if made of paper, before the spinning spearhead!

In the sky, human flying units are faster and stronger than the sickle dragonflies, and with their own tracking bullets, taking down these flying insects is incredibly easy and enjoyable.

…………

It must be said that the human army in this world is more powerful than Zhang Lang had expected.

This is not only due to their superior equipment. After reviewing the data, Zhang Lang discovered that these soldiers had undergone a series of biochemical modifications after enlisting. Their muscle and bone strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, and their hearts were equipped with auxiliary blood pumping devices. In terms of speed, they could run 100 meters in less than eight seconds. In terms of strength, they could lift a car over their heads. Even without armor, they were humanoid beasts.

With soldiers like these, armed to the teeth in powered armor, and with the perfect command of the AI ​​Zhuge, these insects on the Great Dust Star pose no threat whatsoever!

However, Zhang Lang had not forgotten that the difficulty of the mission he had chosen was hellish!

For such a terrifying army, they are hellish opponents. Just how terrifying must they be?

Thinking of this, Zhang Lang's body trembled slightly.

"How many points is that worth?!"
