After the joint efforts of the reinforcements and the people in the inner and outer cities, three days later, several temporary shelters were finally established in the inner and outer cities.
Although the number of remaining Zerg is still difficult to count, everyone has now dispelled their fear of the Zerg. Ordinary people have been incorporated into the ranks of frontline soldiers, taking turns to go out and clear the Zerg every day.
Ruan Shiqing even had two truckloads of Zerg corpses brought back for research, to see if the Zerg corpses scattered all over the ground could be reused.
Rong Heng and Dares drove a shuttle and left planet B3024 for the first time to search for a wormhole in the universe for the Zerg to jump.
The shuttle carries a sufficient number of proton torpedoes. As long as they find the exact coordinates, they will blow up the jump channel.
But when the two followed the traces of the Zerg, they found that there was more than one such jump wormhole. The Zerg that entered the central region through the jump channel did not just flock to B3024, but scattered in all directions. No one knew which planet they would finally encounter. No one knew whether a remote planet had been attacked by the Zerg like B3024, but was isolated and helpless.
"These wormholes are not formed by nature, nor are they built by humans..." Dares looked at the wormhole in front of him and the Zerg pouring out of the wormhole, but he couldn't utter the rest of the words.
There are currently only two types of wormholes. One is a natural wormhole that is formed spontaneously and has many unstable factors; the other is an artificial wormhole created using current technology.
But these strange and twisted wormholes clearly do not belong to any of the above categories.
It's more like... the Zerg created it themselves.
The Zerg can create wormholes. This speculation is too shocking and the consequences are too terrible. If the speculation comes true, the defense of the entire frontline area will be useless. The star field of the Galactic Empire will probably be drilled into a sieve by the Zerg.
Rong Heng's expression was also extremely ugly; "First, blow up all the wormholes that can be detected."
Dares responded muffledly, began to confirm the coordinates, and launched the proton torpedoes.
The news about the wormhole had not yet been transmitted back to planet b3024, and everyone was methodically cleaning out the Zerg, hoping that they could completely destroy the Zerg after blowing up the Zerg's jump channel.
Victory seems to be just around the corner.
But on the fourth day, the control center in the inner city suddenly received an evacuation order.
The order was very brief. It was only for the middle and senior management personnel of the Energy Center - to all the middle and senior management personnel of the Energy Center: Please evacuate B3024 in the escape pod as soon as possible within ten hours of receiving the message. All equipment and data in the Energy Center can be abandoned, and the evacuation must be completed within ten days. After ten days, the "clearance plan" will be launched for B3024.
The order was not issued by the government, but directly by Planck Energy.
Ever since receiving this message, Ruan Shiqing's heart has been shrouded in a shadow.
The evacuation of management personnel and the "clearance plan" all sound like they mean that the b3024 planet has been abandoned.
He did not announce the news to the public immediately, but privately informed Hector Mellor and others to discuss it.
"Elimination plan?" Melel said, "This is not in compliance with the laws of the Empire. Although B3024 is just a garbage planet, it is not a private planet of Planck Energy. Before obtaining a permit, Planck Energy has no right to take any action against this planet."
"This is not an order from Planck Energy." Lansing tapped the table with his fingers, pointing to the abbreviated name at the end of the letter. "This is the signature of my father, the leader of the mermaid tribe. The mermaid tribe has a lot of in-depth cooperation with Planck Energy."
"It's not Planck Energy that attacked B3024, but the Mermaids." He looked a little serious: "If I remember correctly, the 'Elimination Plan' means that the Mermaids are going to activate the Dyson Sphere and directly destroy B3024."
A Dyson sphere is an artificial celestial body built inside a star, wrapping the star entirely for energy mining. It is a huge celestial nuclear fusion reactor that uses stars as a power source.
As far as we know, a star near the Sjarlan star has been transformed into a Dyson sphere. This Dyson sphere is the energy supply reactor for the entire Sjarlan star space military fortress.
After the huge energy inside the star is converted, it is used to power planetary weapons, which are powerful enough to directly blow up a planet.
"But why would the mermaids spend so much effort targeting a garbage planet?" Hector said, "This doesn't make sense."
Calling up the space military fortress, every second burns star coins. Activating the Dyson sphere is just to smash a garbage star, which is tantamount to using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.
I don’t think the mermaids would do business at a loss.
"Because these Zergs that appeared in the Central Region are likely related to the Mermaids." Lansing spread his hands: "I appeared on B3024 this time because my father received news that Zergs appeared on B3024, and he specifically asked me to come here to confirm the situation."
However, he accidentally discovered 047 and ran into the "deceased" former Crown Prince, so he temporarily changed his plan.
"What does this insect tide have to do with the Sijia Blue Star?" Hector's voice suddenly rose, and he snorted heavily: "I know that the aquatic products of Sijia Blue Star are not good stuff. How did you get those insects here? What's your conspiracy?"
"Commodore Hector, please watch your words."
Facing the accusation, Lansing still looked calm and composed: "I was not involved in it. They never wanted me to get involved in these matters. But according to the information I know, my father once dragged back a shipload of Zerg corpses from the Melches region in the name of a laboratory. But in fact, those Zerg were alive, but they entered a dormant period and escaped inspection. I don't know what kind of deal my father made with those Zergs, but it was obvious that he was deceived by those Zergs who were regarded as stupid. Not long ago, the Zergs that were dragged back disappeared overnight. There was no trace of them around the entire Sjarlan Star. My father secretly sent a large number of people to search, but there was no result."
So after hearing that Zerg appeared on planet B3024, they immediately sent Xi and Wright to confirm the situation.
"The mermaids are now targeting B3024 in the name of Planck Energy. Apparently, they received a distress signal from the inner city and knew that B3024 was hit by a swarm of insects. Are they launching the 'cleansing plan' now to destroy all traces?" Mori said.
"That was done by those aquaculture people." Hector sneered.
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off topic, Ruan Shiqing couldn't help but knock on the table to draw everyone's attention back: "We can put aside the purpose of the mermaids for now. If what Lan Xin said is true, the problem we are facing now is that in ten days at the latest, the Sijialan planet will launch the 'clearance plan' and destroy the b3024 planet."
His expression was solemn: "Given the current situation of B3024, it is unable to resist the attack of planetary weapons."
Melaire touched the blaster at hand and said, "We can rush over first and blow up the military fortress of Sijialan Star, so that they will be unable to take care of themselves and solve the problem from the source."
"The space fortress on the planet Sgarlan is more tightly guarded than you can imagine," Lansing said. "And the Dyson sphere itself is equipped with a weapon system. Even if the fortress is blown up, it may not be able to stop the 'clearance plan'."
"If we can't destroy it at the source, we can only use planetary weapons of the same magnitude to intercept it." Ruan Shiqing said, "But there are no such powerful weapons on B3024."
There was no way to destroy it from the source. There was no hard condition to intercept it. Ruan Shiqing frowned and had prepared for the worst: "If it really doesn't work, we can only notify the residents of B3024 to evacuate as soon as possible."
But unexpectedly, Mellaire waved his hand and said with a relaxed look: "This is easier to handle. If we don't have it ourselves, we can borrow it from somewhere else."
Can this planetary-level weapon be borrowed
Ruan Shiqing looked confused and hesitated to speak.
But there seemed to be only one person present who was genuinely concerned, and Hector and Morrie nodded in agreement.
Hector even said: "There must be planetary weapons deployed on Barham. When Rong Heng comes back, we can discuss the details."
Everyone else agreed, and the meeting adjourned.
Ruan Shiqing was left confused and felt that he seemed out of tune with everyone else.
Rong Heng and Dares didn't return until two days later.
After accepting the fact that the Zerg may have drilled the Imperial star field into a sieve, everyone was not so surprised to hear that the people on the Scarland star used the Dyson sphere to smash the B3024 star.
Dareth even said the same thing as Hector: "It's something the aquatic would do."
The four major races inherited ancient traditions, but only the mermaids and the nine-tailed foxes valued bloodline the most. In their eyes, ordinary Bis people, evolved people, and ancient humans were all lower-class creatures. Most of the residents on planet B3024 were illegal residents, so they would not care about them. If the middle and senior management of the energy center had not died at the same time, they might not even issue the evacuation order and directly start the "clearance plan."
"I remember that there are planetary weapons on Balham." Rong Heng narrowed his eyes and said, "It will take another eight days. It's not too late to borrow it now."
Mr. Lian Rong also said so. Ruan Shiqing began to feel that he was too ignorant.
Perhaps the relations between the various planets in the Galactic Empire are relatively harmonious, and these large military weapons can be lent for use when necessary.
He nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. As long as you are willing to open up weapon control to B3024, we can intercept the attack from Sijialan in time."
Balem is located exactly in the middle of Scarlan and B3024, and the three planets form a triangle.
As long as Sijia Lanxing attacks, we can intercept it in advance.
Rong Heng smiled meaningfully: "We won't refuse."
Because they were heading to Balem, Ruan Shiqing and his men worked overtime to repair the blue main battleship that Rong Heng often used.
Fortunately, the battleship itself was durable. Although its entire head was stuck in the ground, the actual damage was not serious. After being repaired, it was immediately put into use.
Rong Heng, Hector, and Melaire, along with a group of elite soldiers, boarded the battleship and headed for the planet Balem.
The rest stayed on planet b3024 and continued to fight the Zerg.
Before leaving, Rong Heng looked at the curious little cubs and asked Ruan Shiqing, "You probably don't have time to take care of the cubs during this period, right? Why don't I take them with me, so that we can learn more along the way."
"Is this... too much trouble?" Ruan Shiqing hesitated.
But and 09 really can't spare much time to accompany the cubs recently, and the cubs stay in the arsenal most of the time.
"No trouble." Rong Heng looked at the cub with shining eyes: "Are you guys going?"
The cubs looked at their father, then at their mother, and nodded excitedly.
Although I can't bear to leave my father, I still want to fly a fighter jet!
Seeing the kids' excited faces, Ruan Shiqing didn't refuse their kindness. He rubbed the kids' heads and told them, "Don't cause trouble for Mr. Rong on the way, okay?"
The cubs nodded obediently and said goodbye to their father one by one.
Only Ruan Jiao, who was at the end, was confused and had no idea why the other kids were so excited.
shook its tentacles and said goodbye to its father reluctantly.
Ruan Shiqing watched the warship leave before returning to the arsenal to continue working.
The golden little robot followed him, and after walking a few steps, it couldn't help but say sourly: "It seems that the relationship between the cubs and Mr. Rong is getting better and better."
In the past, they would not be so close to Mr. Rong. But now that they are getting along, it seems that there is not much difference in how they treat Mr. Rong and Mr. Rong.
"After all, he is Snowball's eldest brother, so it's inevitable that he loves everyone in his family. This is not a bad thing, and Mr. Rong also takes good care of us." Ruan Shiqing patted the little robot on the shoulder: "The cubs can't always be surrounded by only us. Sooner or later, they will grow up and form their own social network, but this doesn't mean that they don't care about us anymore."
The little robot tilted its head and nodded, accepting this, and even its pace became more cheerful.
Rong Heng, who had boarded the warship at the same time, picked up Ruan Jiao, flicked the tentacles on his forehead, and whispered: "Just like last time, let those Zerg catch up."
Unlike last time, this time, they took over the entire Balem Star.
When the defense command of the entire Balem planet fell into their hands, then whether to lend weapons became a fairly simple matter.
