A bug, I know this sounds strange, but a bug was actually found near the energy coil of our sniper cannon.
"It's like a mechanical soldier covered in carbon-based skin. It's vitality is terrifying. The last cell in this thing lasted for nearly thirty seconds under the deadly psionic radiation before it completely lost its activity. I've never seen carbon
Basic life forms can be born with such physical qualities." These were Tavel's original words.
Do you still remember the basic principles of the sniper cannon?
The main energy generators of this nonsense off-standard weapon are two twin neutron stars that are on the verge of critical point. They are a pair of good friends who wildly release gamma ray bursts in the universe. They burst out in a passionate dance.
You can imagine how terrifying the energy of the sniper cannon 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 lot of amplification devices and a nether energy well with a total output that is enough to ignite a star.
This terrifying thing, even with countless layers of solid barriers, the trace of energy leaking from its core is enough to destroy any carbon-based creature, not to mention the installation location of the sniper cannon: that's outer space!
But in such an environment, Tavel discovered 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 physically travel through space and survive a nether energy ray burst for half a minute. Do you think that bug is called Long Aotian?
But I quickly dismissed the doubts in my mind. If we want to say who is the least able to joke among us, it must be Tavel. As the chief researcher of the empire, Tavel’s rigor is almost to the point of causing headaches.
, when it comes to the things she makes, her seriousness is even more exaggerated than Scorpion Vega.
Knowing that something was fishy, 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 temporarily put down her research work and came to report to us in person.
condition of this creature.
It was a strange life that looked like a combination of a centipede and a mantis magnified countless times. Its entire body was flat, about two meters high, and nearly seven meters long. Its entire body was a deep purple-brown color, with streaks all over it.
The sharp barbs and two rows of multiple 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
It is more than two meters long and covered with sharp serrated pincer-like chelicerae. Looking at the ferocious shape, I can feel the pain of the person who is clamped to death by it. Moreover, the pair of killer-like pliers have been proven to contain at least
Eleven highly penetrating toxins that can decompose most carbon-based living cell walls.
The whole body is covered with weapons, and the level of armament is outrageous. Not to mention how powerful it is in battle, just wearing this body and rolling around in a crowd will be a tragedy!
"We discovered this thing when we were inspecting the third decay coil of the sniper cannon. It was completely dead at that time, but the recording equipment near the coil showed how long it persisted there, thirty seconds. It was solely resistant to psionic energy.
In terms of strength, this result is almost equivalent to that of an elite Xiling soldier. It would be a miracle for a carbon-based creature's body to withstand that level of energy radiation for more than three seconds."
Tavel's tone contained the strong desire for research that a scientist would have when seeing something he couldn't understand. I believe that if it hadn't been for his superiors to see it first, this super-vital bug would have been turned into a slice sample in the laboratory.
.
"As far as resistance to psionic radiation is concerned, wouldn't I be fine?"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you have been genetically enhanced in a targeted manner, and your ability also determines that no harmful energy can cause any harm to you." Tavel pushed up his glasses, "But this creature, it is
Completely relying on its own physical strength to achieve the miracle of surviving for such a long time outside the energy coil, 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
The genes are very unusual. There are no traces of modifications, but there are almost no genetic flaws. This creature... is so perfect..."
Listening to Tavel's praise, I could only roll my eyes: there is indeed a huge difference between the aesthetic values of scientists and ordinary people.
But I also know that the "perfect" the other party refers to is genetically speaking. No matter how strange this thing looks, it can evolve itself to the point where it can survive in space and can even withstand thirty seconds of abnormality.
The nether energy radiation was enough to amaze Tavel.
"How did it get into the sniper cannon?" This is a question I am curious about. Now it seems that the existence of this bug should be the reason why Tavel reported to me that the sniper cannon had "a small problem".
"Didn't you check whether the parts were clean when you installed them?"
"I'm very sorry, my majesty," Tavel immediately showed a ashamed expression, "but the last step in assembling the sniper cannon is to sink the entire sniper cannon into the preset space folds. This process will make the surrounding area quite large.
Space collapses, and there is a very small chance that matter at random coordinates within a few light-years will be transported to the vicinity of the collapse point. I am afraid that our scanning equipment missed this thing at that moment. After all... Such low-level life forms
It has always been set as a non-threatening target by us."
Well, Tavel, congratulations, you successfully knocked me out with a bunch of professional terms.
We walked in circles around this weird and curious guy, and each of us began to think deeply. Shandora curiously stepped forward and poked one of the big insect's chelicerae.
Hey! Girl, you can’t eat this!
Fortunately, my Sandora's recipe list has not reached such a terrifying level. She just observed the other person curiously for a while, and then suddenly raised her head: "Tavel, does this thing have a nervous system?"
"Of course, my lord, its nervous system is very complete and efficient."
"So, a little more complicated - does it have something to think about?"
Tavel hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the insect's abdomen: "We found its neural 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 organisms.
Not sure if that's its thinking organ."
"That's it," Sandora stepped back and put her fingers on her chin, "Sure enough, it's just as I guessed."
"Shandora, what did you find?"
Seeing the thoughtful look on the other person's face, I couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Arjun, didn't you notice the irrational form of this thing?"
I shrugged: "In my opinion, there is nothing reasonable about this guy."
Sandora sighed after hearing this, with a look of being defeated by you: "Well, what I mean is that although this thing has strong vitality and seems to have 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 no ability to think, his body is covered with bone blades for offense, but he doesn't even have an eating organ. I don't believe that such a tough guy relies on photosynthesis to survive - I
I suspect that it is just a one-time weapon bred by a certain race for use in combat, so as long as it is good at fighting, it will be fine if its survivability is poor."
Qian Qian has been looking at the huge bug placed on the experimental table in front of her with great interest. This girl's talented head does not have the concept of ordinary girls being afraid of bugs. Just when Sandora instilled in me that as a qualified
When it comes to living things, how important the eating organ of the "mouth" is, Qian Qian suddenly took a few steps forward, and then reached out and pressed on the carapace of the specimen.
"The sands of time come back again and again...ah!"
"Hey!" I pulled Qianqian back. Why is this girl so curious?
However, Qian Qian's ability has already taken effect at this moment. The huge insect body shell was quickly covered with a dim halo, and the dark purple-brown body surface gradually turned into purple, and it also appeared more shiny. Due to the suffering
Several shriveled limbs that had been distorted by the huge amount of nether energy radiation gradually became plump and returned to their original shape. With this series of changes, the insect's body also trembled rapidly, and a low friction sound came from the body.
"Alert!" Vega, who was serving as a guard on the side, immediately drew out his double swords and instantly transformed into the form of an armored scorpion. I am lucky that the Pandora sisters were not here, otherwise the two little guys would have been summoned by the naval guns at this time.
Everything happened in just a few seconds. Qianqian used time to rewind and resurrected the huge bug. The latter stood up unsteadily and then turned towards us.
"Kara——" There was a collision of exoskeletons, and the newly resurrected bug rushed towards this direction without hesitation. The huge claws opened angrily flashed with poisonous green light, which made people feel uneasy.
I doubt the lethality of this thing.
A silver-white halo flashed, and the bugs that flew into the air were strangely still in mid-air, and then divided into batches of 30,000 and slowly landed within a radius of several tens of meters.
A group of imperial leaders held up their energy shields to withstand the rain of blood, and watched inhumanely against a reckless Scorpion commander.
"I'm very sorry, sir."
Vega put away the long knife neatly and bowed his head to apologize to us.
You idiot, can you please stop being so disgusting next time!!
"Shandora, what's wrong?"
I noticed that Sandora had a rather solemn expression since the insect was resurrected just now, and I couldn't help but ask with concern.
The golden halo in Shandora's eyes circulated, and it took a long time to return to blue: "A very dangerous race, whose will is filled with pure desire for destruction. Its only meaning of existence is to fight, destroy enemies, and develop benefits for the entire race.
For the sake of the evolution of the entire race, they are attacking all life they can find without any reason or choice, and to make matters worse, they may have just sent a distress signal to their own race... This species must be eliminated!"
There is no doubt that Sandora just intercepted the destructive ** emitted by this creature.
"If the warriors of their race were of this level, it would be a very easy war," Vega simply commented on the enemy he had just killed, "a guy with nothing but vitality."
Basically without much discussion, we decided to go to war against this strange species.
Obviously, we all don't like bugs - even Qian Qian, who can keep caterpillars as pets, is no exception.
So, my leisurely holiday is over again? The fragments of the star ring have just been sorted out, is the next one a cosmic alien?
Lilina didn't know where she heard the news that the Emperor was about to declare war on a certain race. That night, she found us who were dispatching troops at the Shadow City Command Center and handed us a handful of green seeds.
"This is the seed of the 'Sin of Life' on the seventh branch of the World Tree," Lilina's expression was very serious when she handed this thing to us, completely unlike her usual sinister and vicious guy, "The goddess cannot participate.
This operation.”
I took the seeds that Lilina brought with confusion. These small green particles were quite strange, as if they had no substance. They were wrapped in layers of halos. It felt like a warm light when I held it in my hand.
But it carries a strange weight. According to Alaya's occult knowledge that I had learned from him, this thing is the conceptual existence in the legend: each one is enough for the most knowledgeable alchemist to spend his whole life, but he may not be able to imitate it.
Take half out.
"What does this mean? The little guy has to take a make-up exam again?"
Lilina, who had a solemn expression just now, showed her true colors the next second, and started shouting with bared teeth and claws: "Insulting the goddess in front of the priest! You are so rude!"
I:"……"
"The race you want to attack is the aboriginal people of this world," Lilina said angrily, "that is, the people of the goddess. Although they are indeed dangerous species, as the god of management of the world, they will not be punished when the other party offends them.
Before the final dogma, the goddess could not kill her people with her own hands. Giving you these seeds was the only loophole she could take advantage of, and they had to be handed over by me. In addition, as the chief priestess of the goddess of life, I
I will also serve as the supervisor of this race war and be with you, but don’t worry, I’m just here to help fight - it’s okay for the goddess to say that she doesn’t know anything.”
I:"……"
Does that guy Dingdang take taking advantage of his own loopholes for granted? Someone from the God Realm should hurry up and catch this guy who is derelict in his duties!
When she saw the "Empire Admiral" parked in the hyperspace dock, Lilina almost broke her neck: "Wow... Boss! This thing is so spectacular! Is this a wall?"
Indeed, a giant battleship that is hundreds of kilometers long looks like a wall if you stand in front of it: you can only see one of its armor plates. I dare say that although Lilina says it is spectacular, she can't even see it.
I don’t even 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 wage war against twenty planets with level 3 civilizations in the star system at the same time and easily win. This army
The 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 filled with Xiling people's big killers. This operation can be said to be our violent gang.
For the first time since its establishment, we launched a war against an alien race. Everyone, including me, seemed to be excited. As a result, spring has come for these two little guys, Pandora and Huesca.
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 followed Sandora's instructions.
Based on the suggestion, we left twenty experienced Xiling hosts and three rapid expansion bases here, and used the cover of the asteroid belt to engage in arms expansion.
In order to eliminate a group of bugs with such great momentum, Lilina named our operation: the criminal expedition of the largest burning, killing and looting gang in history.
She proclaims herself the Second Demon King of Terror...
I think this girl is just too excited, just like Qian Qian, the self-proclaimed demon king of terror.
"The assembly of the imperial fleet has been completed, and the self-test 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 echoed through every flagship of the huge fleet and on the bridge of the "Imperial Admiral" where we were, and a group of imperial leaders were in agitated moods.
"The First Legion reports! Everything in the fleet is normal! All battleships can enter the hyperspace jump at any time!"
"Second Legion report! Everything in the fleet is normal..."
"Third Corps Report!"
I nodded: "The whole army goes out!"
Next to them, Qian Qian and Lilina, the terrifying demon kings No. 1 and 2 who finally got along with each other, immediately joined in the fun: "Long live! Charge! Our slogan is to grab food, money, and territory!"
Following the command link of the Imperial Fleet that had not been closed in time, the slogans of the two lunatics spread throughout the entire legion on the spot... How embarrassed are you two of me?
Accompanied by the momentary sense of trance of a super-time and space jump, the scene in front of us has undergone earth-shaking changes.
It was an unfamiliar sky area, and there were floating asteroids everywhere outside the battleship. They were not the dusty meteorite groups in the outer reaches of the solar system, but a large number of asteroids with a certain orange-red sheen. Looking at these things, I was confused for no reason.
It feels familiar.
Dare to directly set the coordinates of the hyperspace jump into the asteroid group, I guess only the Xiling people have the ability to do this, right?
Watching the meteorites that were clanging against the flagship shield, I tried to hypnotize myself that it was absolutely impossible for Tavel to choose the wrong coordinates. However, the next second our honest female scientist sent a message from the rear:
"I'm very sorry, my Majesty, I just back-calculated 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 actually lived in the asteroid belt.
