It is not difficult to find a path leading to the eldest son's brain nucleus area-in fact, the brain nucleus area must be near the center of the earth, as long as you find the right direction and dig all the way, you can find a path that is close to ten, and then scan the deep underground Those intertwined nerve lines can easily lock the position of the brain nucleus.
But even though this matter is theoretically simple, Hao Ren still has to carry out the whole operation carefully.
The eldest son of this planet has fallen into a state of brain death, but this does not mean that he has no threats. Those tentacles that have the functions of protecting the body and eliminating foreign invasion can act autonomously even without the control of the brain nucleus, and they will automatically destroy Threatening the target within the range and blocking the passage leading to the deep core of the earth, if this is not the case, the war for the agents to regain their home planet would not be so fierce and difficult.
Those intertwined defensive tentacles are just one of the difficulties, and everyone has to face the environment that will become more and more weird as they go deeper into the planet.
The planet parasitized by the eldest son is different from ordinary planets. The existence of this unprecedentedly huge mythical creature on the planet is enough to cause the interior of the entire planet to mutate, from the crust down to the deeper the environment in the star It will become more weird and bizarre, the laws of physics will often be distorted, and even a large-scale supernatural area will appear. Where the tentacles of the eldest son are entangled, chaotic force fields can be seen everywhere, and energy surges replace the source of magma deep underground. Sometimes there is even a nightmare erosion of reality—a phenomenon that is most common near the ganglion of the eldest son.
After all, what grows in the depths of this planet is not a juvenile body, but a real mature eldest son, and its "brain" is out of control: brain death greatly weakens the eldest son's external aggression, but makes it The inside of the body becomes more dangerous.
Hao Ren has come into contact with more than one eldest son, so he naturally has some understanding of the various characteristics of this mythical creature. Based on his experience, he first needs to determine the distribution of the main tentacles of the eldest son from the scan data of the shallow strata, and find a suitable invasion point. .
This part of the data is not rare. During those days when Nolan was lying on the surface, he had already roughly scanned the data of the entire planet’s crust with the probes he released, and also grasped the general situation of each tentacles exposed by the eldest son on the surface. After collecting the data, Hao Ren discovered several unusually striking "cracks" on the planet's crust.
Those fissures almost run through several major continents and oceans. Although they have "healed" on the surface and are covered by thick rocks, mud, sea water, and vegetation, their interiors still show a fractured state. In the holographic On the image, these shadows representing fault zones are as eye-catching as the "dark wound" of the planet.
This unnatural situation obviously cannot be caused by normal geological changes.
Hao Ren thought of one thing N-4 mentioned—the meteorite rain that changed everything. Before the meteorite rain that caused the brain death of the eldest son, the eldest son once opened the earth's crust, and now it seems that the damage suffered by the eldest son during the meteorite bombing was more serious than expected, so that it did not die at all after that. These "holes" on the planet have not been completely closed.
Everyone unanimously decided to find a suitable breakthrough in these cracks: no matter how powerful a creature is, its unhealed wound must be the weak point that is most likely to be broken through.
The Giant Turtle Rock Terrace is silently passing through the planetary atmosphere. She is flying over a crack and using her ship's radar system to detect the rock structure deep in the earth. Hao Ren is standing on the bridge, watching Nolan's real-time feed Scanned images of the Earth's crust back while watching the scenery from the external monitor.
A sudden shadow on the clouds caught his attention.
"What's that?" Lily had also been looking at the scenery curiously, so she and Hao Ren discovered the abnormality behind the clouds at the same time, and immediately yelled.
"A falling object from outer space is not a threat, and it is not on our flight path." Nolan said casually. Now that her shields are full and her armor is brand new, a falling object from outer space will not cause her panic at all. focus on.
But the others invariably focused their sights on the behemoth that was gradually breaking through the clouds and falling to the ground.
It was a huge round pie-shaped object with a thick outer edge and an inner support structure made of steel. Around it, twelve majestic black cubes guarded the entire structure like silent guards—that was the original Should be a fortress on the surface of the moon.
Thick clouds were torn from them and fell in strands around the fortress, where they were quickly evaporated in the heat. When the fortress entered the atmosphere, it obviously didn't decelerate effectively—it was surrounded by a layer of fiery red light, and the high-speed friction and violent vibration when it broke through the atmosphere destroyed its ring walls and main beams. This ancient building (Or the spaceship) gradually began to disintegrate as it approached the ground. The first thing to fall off was the external armor on the ring wall, and then its main servers began to catch fire one by one, exploding into a huge eye-catching fireball in the air. Debris rains down on the ground...
Lily exclaimed when she saw this scene: "Isn't that a fortress! What does the mastermind want to do?"
"The main brain has shut down, and now the automatic program he left behind is controlling the fortress," the data terminal said quickly, "So the shock we experienced when we left the fortress was not a self-destruct program...it was preparing to take off! "
The speed of Fortress must not be as fast as Nolan's, so Hao Ren and his party have been active on the home planet until now, and Fortress finally flew here.
Under everyone's shocked gaze, the huge city-like fortress slowly fell towards the end of the horizon, and was torn apart in the process. Of course, the firstborn tentacles on the surface of the planet would not turn a blind eye to this: it would send the "movement" in the sky The "slow" falling object was regarded as another close-range bombing, and the surface quickly raised a series of hideous "ridges", and thick dark green tentacles broke out from the ground, followed by an invisible force field and visible high-energy explosions. Beams of light burst out from the surface of the tentacles, hitting the fortress in the sky.
Hao Ren had vaguely guessed the intention of the fortress, and he tapped on the console panel lightly: "Cover it—let the drone come down to help."
The high-energy light beam emitted by the eldest son bombarded the surface of the fortress, which instantly made the fortress that had been severely damaged in the process of breaking through the atmosphere even more riddled with holes. The ring wall even directly split into three pieces, and several server arrays fell off from the main body and fell to the green land of the parent star.
The spoke-shaped main beam of the fort also gradually began to break, but it still made a final counterattack: countless forts installed on the inner wall of the fortress roared at the same time. Under the control of a predetermined program, these patiently prepared for thousands of years The weapons blasted all their energy and ammunition on the tentacles of Galactus, and the resulting grand explosion shook half the continent.
Such a counterattack seemed to "enrage" those tentacles on the surface, and more branched tentacles gushed out from the cracks in the ground, and the fortress was instantly exposed to several times the anti-air firepower.
But at this time, the cover fire from the Juguiyantai and the drone group finally arrived in time.
The powerful superior firepower instantly suppressed the eldest son's counterattack, while the fortress continued to fall along the predetermined trajectory. About one tenth of the anti-aircraft firepower of the eldest son broke through the blockade of the drone group, and still firmly executed against the fortress. At this moment, the latter has no means of counterattack and defense, so it can only use its own structure to resist these ruthless artillery fire.
Countless pieces of wreckage fell off its surface, and the thick armor and buffer structure unswervingly protected the core of the final palace.
Finally, the last piece of its structure also crumbled—the fortress could no longer be called a fortress at this moment, it was only a twisted wreck that was burning with flames and trailing thick black smoke, and metal fragments flying all over the sky.
But in the smoky wreckage, a bright light flashed by, and the twisted metal cabin—it was originally a circular hall—exploded from the middle, and Hao Ren clearly saw a transparent Glass containers were thrown from the wreckage.
The huge test tube-like container miraculously remained intact, until it exploded when it reached a height of only a few hundred meters above the ground, and large groups of flesh and blood tissue fell to the ground like falling flowers.
At this height, the eldest son has no time to intercept anyway, so those exiles who have been away from their homeland for nearly ten thousand years finally fulfilled the long-cherished wish of countless generations—they returned home.
In the end, the mastermind finally completed his mission.
Hao Ren stood quietly on the bridge, watching a stubborn and ancient artificial intelligence complete his curtain call in this way. The drone swarm had already withdrawn from the battle as ordered, when the last piece of the fortress was volleyed by the tentacles After it was crushed, the world finally became quiet again.
Only the scorched earth and the evaporated sky can prove what happened here.
"Terminal, please record, the dream plane civilization, numbered by you, completed the main body replacement on 312th, 10090 in the new imperial calendar, the local original human beings became extinct, and this civilization was inherited by the descendants of human beings—agents. The state of this civilization is marked as Subsisting."
"On the record."
"Boss, we have found the best entry point," Nolan's voice came from all directions, "We have already flown above a large rift, the battle just now caused the eldest son's tentacles to move violently, which just tore this place apart again, plus A large number of tentacles were damaged in the battle, and this place has become the weakest point of the eldest son's defense."
The terrain scan data of the surrounding area appeared on the holographic projection in the center of the bridge, and a huge rift valley was prominently marked, not far from the crash site of the last batch of wreckage in the fortress.
Hao Ren nodded: "Let the drones clear the way, and we'll go down from here."
