A bug, I know this sounds weird, but near our starcannon power coils, there is actually a bug.
"It's like a mechanical soldier with a carbon-based skin. It has terrible vitality. The last cell in this thing lasted for nearly 30 seconds under the deadly psionic radiation before it completely lost its activity. I have never seen carbon Ji Shengsheng can be born with such a physical quality." These are Tavel's original words.
Do you still remember the basic principle of the star cannon
This nonsensical non-standard weapon, its main energy generators are two twin neutron stars on the verge of criticality, a pair of good friends who crazily release gamma ray bursts outward in the universe, they are all in the leak * point show dance It is conceivable how terrifying the burst of energy is, and this is only one of the initial energy sources of the sniper star cannon, not to mention that it is also equipped with a large number of amplification devices and a nether energy well whose total output is enough to ignite a star , Such a terrifying thing, even with countless layers of solid barriers, the energy leaked from its core is enough to destroy any carbon-based creatures, not to mention the installation location of the sniper star cannon: that is outer space
But in such an environment, Tavel found a carbon-based bug outside the energy coil of the sniper cannon
As soon as I heard the news, my first reaction was that Tavel was joking, a bug that can travel through space physically and persisted for half a minute under the psionic ray burst, do you think that bug is called Long Aotian
But soon I denied the doubts in my heart. If we want to say who is the least joking person among us, Tavier must be the first one. As the chief researcher of the empire, Tavier's rigor has almost reached the point of headache , When it comes to the things she made, her seriousness is even more exaggerated than Scorpion Vega.
Knowing that something was wrong, we asked Tavel to send the bug she discovered to the scientific research center of the Shadow Base using a hyperspace device that afternoon. Even she herself temporarily put down her research work and came to report to us in person. The condition of this creature.
It was a strange life that seemed to be a combination of a centipede and a praying mantis magnified countless times. Its entire body was flat, about two meters high, and its length was even closer to seven meters. Sharp barbs, multiple rows of multi-legs have the characteristics of arthropods, and the joints also have sharp bone blades. Its front half should be the head, but it does not have the necessary mouthparts, only a pair of long More than two meters long, the pincer-like chelicerae are covered with sharp serrated teeth. Looking at the hideous shape, I can feel cramps for the person crushed to death by it, and the pair of pliers that are like a big killer have been proved to contain at least Eleven highly penetrating toxins that break down the cell walls of most carbon-based life forms.
The whole body is covered with weapons, and the degree of armament is outrageous, not to mention how powerful it is in battle, just this body, rolling in the crowd, it will be a scene of sorrow.
"We discovered this thing when we were inspecting the third decay coil of the sniper star cannon. At that time, it was completely dead, but the recording equipment near the coil showed the time it persisted there, thirty seconds, from the resistance to psionic energy alone In terms of strength, this result is almost equivalent to that of an elite Xiling soldier, and it should be a miracle that the body of a carbon-based creature can withstand that level of energy radiation for more than three seconds."
Tavel’s tone carries the strong desire for research that scientists have when they see something they can’t understand. I believe that if it wasn’t for the purpose of letting my superiors see it first, this worm with super vitality has now become a sliced sample in the laboratory up.
"Speaking of talking about the resistance to psionic radiation, am I fine?"
"Your Majesty, you have undergone targeted genetic enhancement, and your ability determines that any harmful energy cannot cause any harm to you," Tavel pushed his glasses, "but this creature, it is The miracle of surviving for such a long time outside the energy coil was achieved entirely by relying on its own physical strength. I have never seen a similar situation. Although the DNA of carbon-based organisms is magical, there are inevitably a lot of loopholes in it. The genetics of this sample But it is very unusual, it has no traces of acquired modification, but there is almost no genetic defect, this creature... is too perfect... "
Listening to Tavel's admiration, I can only roll my eyes: there is indeed a huge difference in the aesthetics of scientists and ordinary people.
But I also know that the "perfection" the other party refers to is genetically speaking. No matter how curious this thing looks, it can only evolve itself to survive in space, and even resist the 30-second standard. Psionic radiation, this is enough to make Tavel amazed.
"How did it get into the sniper star cannon?" This is a curious question for me. Now it seems that the existence of this bug should be the reason why Tavel reported to me that the sniper star cannon "has a small problem". "Didn't you check if the parts were clean when you installed them?"
"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty," Tavel immediately showed a shameful expression, "but the last step in the assembly of the sniper star cannon is to sink it into the preset space folds, which will make a considerable area around it. The space collapses, and there is a very small chance that matter on random coordinates within a few light years will be transmitted to the vicinity of the collapse point. I am afraid that our scanning equipment missed this thing at that moment. After all... such low life forms have always been It was set by us as a non-threatening target."
Well, Tavel, congratulations, you managed to knock me out with a bunch of technical terms.
Turning around this weird and curious guy, we each meditated, while Sandora leaned over curiously and poked one of the big bug's claws.
Hey girl, you can't eat this
Fortunately, my Sandora's recipes haven't spread to such a terrifying level. She just observed each other curiously for a while, then suddenly raised her head: "Tavier, does this thing have a nervous system?"
"Of course, my lord, its nervous system is perfect and efficient."
"So, a little more complicated—does it have anything to think about?"
Tavel hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the worm's abdomen: "We found its nerve entanglement point at this location, where a large number of neurons are entangled with each other, but we don't know much about the intelligence of carbon-based creatures. Not sure if that is its thinking organ."
"That's it," Sandora stepped back, curling her fingers against her chin, "Sure enough, it's just as I guessed."
"Sandora, what did you find?"
Seeing the thoughtful look on his face, I couldn't help asking curiously.
"Ajun, haven't you noticed the unreasonable form of this thing?"
I shrugged. "In my opinion, there's nothing reasonable about this guy."
Sandora sighed when she heard the words, with an expression of being defeated by you: "Well, what I mean is, although this thing has strong vitality and looks like it has strong combat effectiveness, it is physically invulnerable, but as a creature , its body structure is too deformed... "
"With a nervous system and such a huge body, but without the ability to think, with bone blades all over his body for attack, but without even a feeding organ, I don't believe that such a tough guy relies on photosynthesis to survive—I suspect It is just a one-time weapon bred by a certain race for combat, so as long as it can fight well, it doesn’t matter if its survivability is scum.”
Qianqian has been looking at the huge bug placed on the test bench in front of her with great interest. This girl's talented head does not have the concept that ordinary girls are afraid of bugs. Biological, "mouth" is such an important feeding organ, Qianqian suddenly stepped forward a few steps, and then stretched out her hand to press on the carapace.
"The sands of time go round and round... yay"
"Hey" I pulled Qianqian back, why is this girl so curious
However, Qianqian's ability has already played a role at this moment, and the huge worm's shell was quickly covered with a dim halo, and the dark purple-brown body surface gradually turned purple, and it also appeared more shiny. The few shriveled limbs distorted and deformed by the huge amount of psionic energy radiation gradually plumped up and returned to their original shape. Following this series of changes, the body of the bug also trembled rapidly, and there was a low friction sound in the body.
"Vigilance" Wei Jia, who was serving as a guard at the side, immediately drew out his dual knives and transformed into an armored scorpion in an instant. I am lucky that sisters Pandora are not here, or the two little guys were greeted by the naval guns at this time.
It all happened within a few seconds, and Qianqian used time to turn back the time to resurrect the huge bug, which stood up unsteadily, and then turned to our side.
"Kara—" There was a sound of colliding exoskeletons, and the newly revived insects rushed towards this side without hesitation, and the huge chelicer limbs that were furiously opened were shining with poisonous green light, which made people have no doubt The lethality of this thing.
A silver-white halo flashed, and the worms that came from the sky stopped for a while in mid-air, and then they were divided into 30,000 batches and slowly landed within a radius of tens of meters.
A group of imperial leaders put up their energy shields to resist the rain of blood, and watched inhumanely on a certain reckless scorpion commander.
"I'm very sorry, sir."
Wei Jia put away the long knife neatly and bowed his head to us in apology.
You idiot, can you stop being so disgusting next time
"Sandora, what's wrong?"
I noticed that since the bug was revived just now, Sandora has shown a rather solemn expression, and she can't help asking with concern.
The golden halo in Sandora's eyes flowed, and it took a long time to regain the azure blue: "A very dangerous race, the will is full of pure desire for destruction, and the only meaning of its existence is to fight, destroy the enemy, and develop interests for the entire race. The evolution of the entire race, they are attacking all life they can find without reason and choice, and what's worse, it may have sent a distress signal to its own race just now... This species must be eliminated"
There is no doubt that Sandora just intercepted the desire for destruction emanating from this creature.
"If the fighters of their race are at this level, it would be a very easy war." Wei Jia briefly commented on the enemy he killed just now, "a guy who has nothing but vitality."
Basically without much discussion, we decided on a war against this strange species.
Obviously, we don't like bugs—not even Qianqian, who can keep caterpillars as pets.
So my leisurely holiday is over again? The fragments of the star ring have just been settled, is the next one a cosmic alien
Lilina heard from nowhere that the Imperial Army was about to declare war on a certain race. That night, she found us who were dispatching the army at the Shadow City Command Center, and handed us a handful of green seeds.
"This is the seed of the 'Sin of Life' from the seventh branch of the World Tree," Lilina said with a very serious expression when she handed it over to us, completely unlike the usual black-bellied and vicious-tongued guy, "Mrs. This operation."
I took the seeds that Lilina brought with doubts. These small green particles were quite strange, as if they had no substance, and they were wrapped in layers of halos. It felt like a warm light in my hand. But it carries a strange weight. According to the mystic knowledge that Alaya has made up for me, this thing is the conceptualized existence in the legend: each one is enough to exhaust the most knowledgeable alchemist's life energy, and it may not be able to imitate it. Come out half.
"What does this mean? The little thing is going to make up the exam again?"
Lilina, who was still wearing a solemn expression just now, showed her true colors in the next second, and yelled, "You are too rude to insult the goddess in front of the priest."
I:"… "
"The race you are going to attack is the aborigines of this world," Lilina said angrily, "that is, the people of the goddess, although they are indeed dangerous species, but as the management god of the world, when the other party offends Before the final dogma, the Lady Goddess cannot slaughter her people with her own hands. Giving you these seeds is the only loophole she can take advantage of, and it has to be handed over by me. In addition, as the chief priestess of the Goddess of Life, I I will also be with you as the surveillance officer of this racial war, but don’t worry, I’m just helping to fight—it’s fine for the goddess to say that she doesn’t know anything.”
I:"… "
Has that guy Ding Dong taken it for granted to take advantage of his own loopholes? God Realm, please hurry up and take this negligent guy back.
When Lilina saw the "Admiral" docked in the hyperspace shipyard, Lilina almost broke her neck: "Wow... Boss, this thing is so spectacular. Is this a wall?"
Indeed, a giant battleship with hundreds of kilometers looks like a wall when you stand in front of it: you can only see a piece of its armor plate as far as your eyes can see. I don't know what shape this thing is.
After such a long period of accumulation, the number of our troops has actually reached an outrageous level. According to Pandora, it is possible to launch wars on 20 planets with 3rd-level civilizations in the star system at the same time and win easily. Huge fleets use space technology to overlap each other in each other's space folds. Even so, they are enough to make the entire Earth-Moon system densely covered with the big killers of the Xiling people. This operation can be said to be our violent gang. It was the first war against an alien race since its establishment. Everyone, including me, seemed excited. As a result, the spring of the two little guys, Pandora and Viska, came.
In order not to cause panic among the people on Earth, Tavel found a relatively stable asteroid belt outside the solar system and established a temporary space portal. It took the entire imperial fleet nearly three days to complete the transmission, and then according to Sandora According to the proposal, we have left twenty experienced Xiling hosts and three rapidly expanding bases here, using the cover of the asteroid belt to engage in arms expansion.
In order to eliminate a group of bugs, Lilina named our operation: the criminal expedition of the largest gang of burning, killing and looting in history.
She proclaimed herself the No. 2 Horror Great Demon King...
I think this girl is simply too excited, just as excited as Qian Qian, who proclaimed herself No. 1 horror king.
"The Imperial Fleet is assembled, and the self-inspection of the command links of the First to Seventh Legions has passed. Please report the situation to the commanders of each fleet."
The mechanically synthesized female voice resounded on every flagship of the huge fleet and on the bridge of the "Admiral of the Empire" where we were, and a group of imperial leaders were in agitated mood.
"The First Legion reports that the fleet is normal and all warships can enter the hyperspace transition at any time"
"Second Legion reports that everything is fine with the fleet..."
"Third Legion Report readers are not allowed to make up the word count"
I nodded: "The whole army set off"
Next to him, Qianqian and Lilina, the scary big demon king No. 1 and No. 2, who finally got along with each other, immediately joined in the fun: "Long live the charge, our slogan is to grab food, money, and land."
Following the command link of the Imperial Fleet that was not closed in time, the slogans of the two lunatics spread throughout the entire legion on the spot... How embarrassing are you two for me
Accompanied by the momentary trance of the hyperspace leap, the scene in front of us has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In an unfamiliar sky area, there are floating asteroids everywhere outside the battleship. They are not the dusty meteorite groups in the outer solar system, but a large number of asteroids with a certain orange-red luster. Feel a kind of familiarity.
If you dare to directly set the coordinates of the hyperspace transition in the asteroid group, it is estimated that the Xiling people have the ability to do so, right
Looking at the group of meteorites hitting the shield of the flagship Ding Dingdang, I tried to hypnotize myself. It is absolutely impossible that Tavel chose the wrong coordinates. As a result, our honest female scientist sent a message from the rear in the next second: "I'm very sorry, Your Majesty, I just reversed the space coordinates recorded in the sniper cannon. I thought the fleet would appear outside the atmosphere of a certain planet, but I didn't expect that bug to live in the asteroid belt. "
(Continue to ask for tickets today, ah, it’s finally the end of the month...) E
