#780 - Chapter 780: Quantity for Quantity

This squadron of fighters was completely different from the insects they had faced before.

Whether it was the scorpions of the past, or other arthropods, although they were numerous, they basically acted independently.

When they attacked, it was a swarm, but they could be eliminated one by one.

But this squadron of fighters was different.

They understood group combat.

After seeing the Future Warriors, this group of fighters began to automatically differentiate.

Thousands of fighters automatically formed a group, simultaneously attacking the same warrior.

They attacked from different directions at the same time, completely surrounding the warrior.

Even activating the protective shield wouldn't provide much defense.

The protective shield generated by the vibration crystal was very strong, but it could only defend against about 60 points simultaneously.

That is to say, when 60 bullets hit the protective shield at the same time, the shield's defensive state would reach its maximum value at that instant.

The 61st bullet appearing at the same time would successfully pass through the shield and hit the warrior.

And now, with about 1,000 fighters attacking the same person simultaneously, how busy would the protective shield be?

Therefore, the protective shield lost its effectiveness to a certain extent, and a small number of bullets hit their bodies.

But that wasn't the worst part. Even more unexpected was that there was something wrong with these bullets.

After they hit the pseudo-vibranium shell, they shattered.

The warheads probably contained some special liquid compound, which began to expand after shattering.

These liquids continued to expand and expand, like expanding foam.

In a very short time, the space between the outside of the warriors' mechs and the protective shield was completely covered by this expanding substance.

Their vision was completely blocked, and they fell directly from the high altitude.

In this situation, even the autopilot function was completely ineffective because it couldn't detect the surrounding environment.

So the warriors suffered a great loss right from the start.

One mech after another was wrapped in a foam ball and fell from the sky.

At this moment, the councilors were still watching the live broadcast in the online conference room.

When they saw this result, their faces became more and more unsightly.

Too embarrassing!

They thought it was a soft persimmon, but who would have thought it was a sticky one.

"Hehe, it's so quiet in the conference room today," Dongfang Chen added at the right time.

"Speaker, this is purely a mistake! If you let us send another two thousand people, I guarantee that this situation will definitely not happen again!" Suo Tonghua shamelessly guaranteed.

"Oh? Guarantee? Then let me ask you, what do you guarantee with?" Dongfang Chen asked.

This did have a certain element of surprise.

The biggest mistake was underestimating the enemy.

Everyone thought that the current space mechs were already invincible. Whether on Blue Star or in space, they could cope with various battlefield situations.

Even Dongfang Chen himself didn't expect to get such a disastrous result.

And they were defeated very quickly.

Fortunately, the warriors were only wrapped inside and were not in mortal danger.

Even if they fell from a height of ten thousand meters, because of the foam wrapping, the protective shield slowing them down, and the thick snow cushioning, they would basically be fine.

The key was the embarrassment.

The councilors were embarrassed, and the warriors also felt embarrassed.

But suffering a loss is suffering a loss, and don't act rashly out of anger.

That's a big taboo.

Therefore, Dongfang Chen couldn't support them sending troops again to save face.

The most important thing now is to study countermeasures.

The enemy's weapons were indeed very peculiar, and no one had ever seen them before.

Who would have thought that something similar to expanding foam could also be used as a weapon?

Now, coupled with their insect swarm tactics, they had achieved unexpected results.

"This…" Suo Tonghua was speechless.

He hadn't had time to think of a solution.

"Alright, this failure is not just your responsibility. In fact, even I didn't expect that we would lose."

"But I think this is a good thing. Failure is the best teacher to guide our growth."

"Before taking the next step, I hope to take some time to discuss what kind of countermeasures should be taken."

Dongfang Chen said.

"This thing is really troublesome. With such a massive number of miniature fighters attacking at the same time, the protective shield definitely can't defend against it. If it can't defend, the bullets will shoot through. Once hit by a bullet, they will be quickly wrapped up. This is almost unsolvable!" Zongzhen Yue said.

"I think the only way is to trade quantity for quantity," Yan Zhengping said.

"What do you mean by trading quantity for quantity?" Suo Tonghua asked.

"Since they can use insect swarm tactics, then we can too!" Yan Zhengping explained.

"That's possible, but the problem is that distant water can't quench the immediate thirst," Suo Tonghua said.

Yan Zhengping stopped talking.

No one except Dongfang Chen knew how many battleships the Blue Star Federation had, or whether there were other robot legions.
