I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Chapter 481 The other side of the door is called Washington?

If they want to have the ability to fight back under the premise of assuming that other planes are enemies, they naturally need to increase their military investment. Although their third-generation main battle tank, the T120 with a 80mm smoothbore gun has entered the mass production stage, no one will complain that military spending is too much.

With more capital investment, the previously abandoned T60m with a total weight of 80 tons and a fourth-generation unmanned turret will have money to burn, and the new biological intelligent mecha can also begin to roll out production lines on a large scale.

The alliance's military reform has been going on at a low speed for some time, and the equipment and personnel composition of the three existing ace tank divisions, the training division, the first armored division and the Kyoto Garrison Guard Division have all been reorganized.

After completing the equipment replacement, all armored system units will be reorganized from divisions to heavy-duty combined brigades.

一个重装合成旅包括包括4个合成营、1个炮兵营、1个防空营、1个作战支援营、1个勤务保障营和一个直属特战营共计九个营。

主力装备集中在合成营和炮兵营，一个旅配备有800架新式多功能机甲，125辆T80坦克、40辆步兵战车、6辆40管120毫米火箭炮和28门155轮式自行火炮，可以进行饱和攻击。

The air defense battalion of the combined brigade is equipped with various types of air defense weapons, ranging from the most basic Storm-class air defense quadruple four-barrel air-cooled machine gun to the high-speed magic interception system.

The combat support battalion is equipped with electronic countermeasures, electronic combat systems, laser interception and anti-missile, and hostile target guidance, all controlled by biological intelligence.

The service support battalion and the special operations battalion allocate the number of multi-functional mecha equipment according to their own needs. One is responsible for the daily maintenance of armored vehicles, while the other needs to face more complex and dangerous battlefield environments. Both have a great demand for mecha.

After the replacement, although the number of people and armor decreased by about one-third compared with the original division-level size, the combat effectiveness has increased significantly.

Only the three ace tank divisions mentioned above retained their division-level organization after the reorganization, with three heavy combined brigades being reorganized into a first-class armored division.

It can be seen from the equipment configuration that the new heavy-armored combined brigade is very expensive. It is not just the problem of inflated prices of a large number of new equipment, but the existence of the biological intelligent terminal, which is a money-eating beast, is a bottomless pit.

The extremely low bioconversion rate coupled with the almost endless demand is directly reflected in the rising purchasing prices.

But you have to buy it. The flexible information feedback of the biological intelligence system can directly improve the combat effectiveness of T80 by several levels. The biological intelligence can arrange the whole process of enemy detection, self-defense and counterattack for you clearly.

To be precise, in terms of pure technological level, the industrial level of the Alliance has roughly caught up with the industrial strength of the world's major powers in the 90s, and the performance data of its military equipment is also around this range.

However, the practical application of biological intelligence and magic has greatly enhanced the performance of Alliance weapons on the battlefield.

For example, the T80 tank has a cast turret with a main armor of 60, 35, 30, 35, 45 five-layer composite armor with a total thickness of 205 equivalent armor of about 800 mm. In actual combat, it can have an equivalent resistance of about 400 mm to tungsten core armor-piercing projectiles.

However, with the addition of explosive reactive armor modules and diamond-shaped hard deflection magic shields, the overall protection capability can be enhanced by about 30%, without making the armor plates too tilted and increasing the weight, and the weight of the vehicle body is controlled at around 55 tons.

This is also the reason why the Alliance was so generous to modify the Tiger tank at will and export it on a large scale while retaining 90% of its combat effectiveness.

Although both are tanks, the generation gap between the two is a century. Even if the T80 stops there and does not move, the Tiger cannot penetrate its composite armor, even with shaped-charge armor-piercing shells.

The external magic shield can detonate the shaped charge armor-piercing projectile one step in advance. The second-stage anti-explosion further deflects the jet trajectory. Only after passing two levels can it truly touch the composite armor of the T80 itself. At this time, it is difficult for the incoming projectile to penetrate the T80.

The biological intelligent network terminal installed on the command model T80 can receive battlefield environment data together with the combat support battalion's high-power radar, vehicle-mounted supercomputer and other equipment.

Then, the high-speed magic weapons on the tanks can be predicted to accurately strike incoming missiles and rockets, and battlefield tasks can be accurately assigned to each crew. The T80 is raised from the level of a third-generation tank to the level of a fourth-generation highly informationized combat by magic and biological intelligence.

In the traditional understanding, electronic informatization still requires manual writing of software and background programs, and the reservation of a large number of preset files to provide computers with reference items for responding to various environments.

Biological intelligence skips this step and can compare the information received by various devices on the battlefield and give the best response plan in real time, making the entire command system simple and efficient. This advantage alone is enough to beat everything else.

The only weakness of the alliance is its mediocre development in missiles. Whether it is airborne or ship-borne missiles, they can only be said to be usable, but it is unclear how useful they are.

After all, with the reaction speed of biological intelligence and the rapid range of magic, the fragile and sensitive characteristics of missiles basically cannot break through the defense mechanism combined with the two. The price of missiles is generally high, and the military is very cautious in purchasing in this area.

The strength of biological intelligence itself is closely related to the computing power it can dispatch and the performance and quantity of various observation, aiming and ranging equipment. In theory, the larger the size of the force, the more equipment it can use and the stronger its performance.

When the reconnaissance and strike system is backed by biological intelligence, the cost of the magic weapon generation device can be basically ignored.

Therefore, in the simulation exercises within the alliance, the actual combat effects of drones and missiles can be said to be the worst. Often, drones would slowly fly from the sky and would be shot down by focused energy magic from a distance if they tried to get close.

Even if the onboard missiles are launched by chance, the continuous regional fire magic matrix will make it impossible for the missiles to penetrate, and the high heat will have a disruptive effect.

Generally speaking, there are only three troops that have completed the equipment replacement. One of them is rarely seen in the Capital Military Region all year round, and the other two are stationed at the plane portal in the second world to prevent emergencies.

Everything was peaceful until four Hakihei carrying large and small bags suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the wheat field in the vast uninhabited planting area.

They came back to their senses from the joy of the harvest and looked at the endless wheat fields with a puzzled look on their faces:

'Brother, where are we now?'

'Hey man, we're here with you.'

'I just got some damn stuff in. Where is this in Washington? Is there a delivery station? My customers are going to be worried.'

'Ah Sheet! There's a big bug in there!'

Because there was no need to fight, the worker insects that had degenerated from aliens to staple pests that maintained food as the Zerg Queen entered evolutionary hibernation slowly walked past the few people, giving them a scare.

Because they are looking for pests, these worker insects have many slender limbs that are taller than wheat ears, slender chopstick-like mouthparts, and multiple pairs of compound eyes. At first glance, they look like spiders more than half a meter long, which is quite scary.

One of the sturdier Hakihei responded by grabbing the mysterious backpack of the mobile version of Quesanti in his hand and knocking the worker insect to the ground. The worker insect, which had no fighting power, was knocked away, and a buzzing sound came from its mouthparts.

After discovering that the worker insects were not aggressive, a group of Hakihei who had been terrified calmed down and angrily punched and kicked the worker insects. Even after they crushed them to pieces, they still felt a little bit of hatred in their hearts.

The low-frequency sound waves emitted by the worker insects before their death had already spread out, and the wheat fields in the distance suddenly began to rise and fall, with three lines of fallen wheat spreading towards their direction at an extremely fast speed.

Before the Hakihei could come to their senses, a beetle over one meter long and wrapped in biomass armor swooped into the crowd. Its front limbs, flashing with cold light, cut half of the black neck, and the other limb inserted into the chest, splitting it into two irregular halves as its limbs intertwined.

The attack was so fast that the blood splashed all over their heads and faces, and no one could react. The other Hakihei subconsciously wiped the blood off his face and looked up to meet the beetle's two pairs of compound eyes.

Before he could let out a scream of terror, a pair of strong pincers on the beetle's lower jaw clamped his head. With a crisp sound of bones breaking, half of his head was stuffed into the beetle's mouth.

Chapter 482 National Guard

This type of insect is called a warbug. It has six legs and two pincers, an outer layer of chitin armor integrated with its skeleton, and an outermost layer of alloy plating formed after eating ore. It has extremely strong defensive capabilities and is the most basic combat unit of the Zerg.

The other Hakihei were almost completely slaughtered by the other two war bugs at this time. Only one Hakihei was left, whose thigh was cut off by his companion's attack. He flew out due to the recoil force of the collision, and then the upper half of his body disappeared into the air as if it hit a transparent barrier.

At the same time, in another world, on the bustling streets of Washington, D.C., a blood-soaked upper body of a Hakihei appeared out of thin air in an alley on a busy street:

【Help! 】

【NO! Please help! 】

The heart-wrenching screams attracted pedestrians on the street to look into the alley. A pedestrian wearing a rainbow-colored shirt immediately covered his mouth in surprise.

Covered in blood, Hakihei waved a happy shopping bag worth $949 in his hand and shouted for help to the pedestrians watching in the distance.

'What happened!'

A patrolling Heimi policeman approached the alley slowly with a gun in his hand. Before the Heimi policeman could make the next reaction, slender and sharp limbs stretched out from the void and accurately inserted into Haki's shiny black scalp. The cry for help stopped abruptly, and the war bug crawled out from the void.

'Bang bang bang...'

'Ding ding....'

Amid the screams of the pedestrians, Policeman Mi emptied the magazine at the war bug on the spot, causing sparks on its shell.

"Oh my God! What a monster!"

The attacked war bugs shrank back directly. A moment later, more than ten war bugs rushed out from the void and pounced on the still dazed Hakihimi policeman, tearing his body into pieces in an instant.

As the state capital, Washington's police department responded extremely quickly. As the war bugs rushed out of the alley and started killing passers-by, more and more police cars rushed to the area.

In addition to basic police pistols, some police officers took out semi-automatic and fully-automatic firearms from the trunk and quickly checked and loaded them. A dense rain of metal bullets rushed towards the swarm of war insects that were slaughtering indiscriminately.

Compared to the limited power of police pistols, the power of the AR series' semi-automatic or fully-automatic rifles, as well as shotguns, has been significantly improved, but the damage they can cause is still very limited.

War bugs have no reproductive or excretory systems and no redundant parts on their bodies. Most of their fragile tissues are hidden within layers of their carapaces. Their only exposed weaknesses are their two pairs of compound eyes and three pairs of elongated legs.

Sparks from metal friction appeared from time to time amid the dense gunfire. The diamond-plated shell of the war bug also had a certain deflection effect of the tilted armor. It used its pincers to cover its eyes and charged towards the team madly under the dense metal bullets.

All the American police had no idea what these damn bugs were, although they still had the courage to shoot them.

But when a ferocious insect over one meter in size really charges towards you, the first thought that comes to most people's minds is to turn around and run.

How much money a month, what are you playing with?

In fact, they were ready to do so.

Unfortunately, the war bugs were faster. They had no sense of pain and had already rushed through the rain of metal bullets into the faces of the patrolmen during their brief panic. No matter whether it was a flesh and blood body, a piece of iron from a vehicle, or a gun blocking their way, they would cut it in half with one blow.

Looking at his colleagues being slaughtered like chickens not far away, the young mounted policeman who came to help pressed the intercom with trembling lips:

"Headquarters, I am Officer Smith supporting 2075 Martin Luther King Boulevard. I request to abandon the mission. Fuck! The enemy is not human at all!"

The headquarters on the other side did not respond to him immediately, but Smith did not care. He had already reported it anyway. When faced with an unstoppable disaster, the American police had the right to abandon the mission as long as it was proved afterwards that his approach was correct.

The headquarters had already fallen into panic after receiving the video footage sent back by the police officers' body cameras. Seeing the war bugs' ferocious mouthparts biting at the cameras, many dispatchers who identified themselves as women felt their lower bodies get hot.

'Oh my God! It's an alien attack!'

'Oh my god! I want to go home!'

'This thing looks so strong~'

Without paying attention to the chaotic scene, the director, who had an overview of the overall situation, quickly dialed a hotline to request his superiors to mobilize the National Guard to support the scene. The current situation was obviously beyond the scope of what ordinary police could handle.

At the same time, as large amounts of meat were brought back to the hive by worker insects and put into the digestion chamber, the queen insects that obtained more food also activated some new gene sequences. More war insects active outside were recalled, and the hatching of new war insects was also accelerated.

The portal also expanded over time, and a large two-way portal nearly 50 meters long and more than 30 meters high gradually took shape on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Washington.

Countless war insects poured out from the teleportation array one after another, capturing all the moving creatures around them, gathering them, and then having the worker insects take them back to the hive for utilization.

The densely packed high-rise buildings around here became the best buffet restaurant for the Zerg. During the period when the National Guard was dispatched to Washington State, the Zerg-occupied area expanded rapidly. Major social software were also occupied by video messages of the Zerg invasion, and then spread to the world.

In this age where AI can make fake things look real, netizens initially didn’t believe rumors about videos of insect invasions, but there were so many users sending them and the angles were so different that they had no choice but to believe them.

External pressure also caused the Washington State government's operating efficiency to rise sharply. The first batch of organized National Guard troops arrived at the outbreak point of the insect tide in armed helicopters and began to attack. A large number of aerial drones carrying bombs were dropped into the insect swarm, causing an explosion.

The ground troops are also on their way. As the National Guard, which is second only to the regular army, they have all the necessary heavy weapons and equipment, except for nuclear bombs and strategic weapons, including large-scale M1A2 Abrams.

By the time the Allied military stationed in the second world discovered the problem, the Zerg nests had already been activated from hibernation to an active phase.

While the Alliance was expanding to other worlds, the optimization and transformation of the Zerg had been proceeding in an orderly manner.

At the beginning, the Zerg was positioned as an ultimate individual, hatching parasites in the body, cooperating with individual soldiers or small units, carrying out tasks such as leaving it alone and conducting infiltration and sabotage behind enemy lines.

But in the simulated confrontation with Ilea, the alien's performance was very poor. Perhaps in a small area, the alien has a very high upper limit and is proficient in assassination, sneak attack, and parasitism, but once the scale of the war expands, this model will no longer work.

When the aliens have struggled to grow their population to hundreds or thousands, Ilea only needs to drop a precise napalm bomb or simply use a heavy bunker-buster to destroy the alien nest.

Ilea couldn't even be said to be serious. Even if these were restricted, the robot army alone would be enough to give the aliens a hard time. The aliens had no ability to parasitize such mechanical creatures, which fundamentally eliminated the possibility of more and more aliens.

Chapter 483: The Fall of Washington

The former Alien Queen's body has now evolved into a giant nest hidden deep underground, and this nest is still growing larger underground.

The previous aliens were parasitic evolutions. Although there is a possibility of unlimited evolution, it is only a possibility. In fact, the strength of the aliens still depends largely on the host itself.

Therefore, the research and transformation of the Zerg later diverged into different directions. Instead of pursuing quality, it is better to pursue absolute quantity.

By fusing and assimilating the characteristics of all other genes through Medea's divine blood, the Alien Queen was super-evolved into a genetic automation system driven by instinctive consciousness that can analyze genetic material and control pheromones.
