"Captain, the speed and reaction of the Star Zerg have been greatly reduced and have returned to the original level in our database."
"It seems that Xingchen is right, all the problems lie in that worm mound!"
After hearing the report from the staff team, Luo Hao also nodded and said.
"Report, gravity waves detected!"
"Huh? Is it the Hope?"
After hearing the report, Luo Hao's first reaction was that the Hope was coming for support. After all, the situation of the Fuxing was unknown and there was no response after calling for a long time.
At the same time, not far away from the Wuluo, ripples appeared in the space.
The next moment, a spaceship suddenly jumped out of the ripples.
"Report, it's Fuxing!"
"Fuxing, are you sure?"
"OK, it's Fuxing!"
"Put me through the Fuxing number!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Soon, the communication was connected, and the figure of Fuxing Captain Lu Feng appeared on the main screen of the bridge.
"Lu Feng, are you okay? I thought..."
"Sorry, the communication module failed before and it was repaired not long ago. After learning about the situation on your side, we immediately came to support you. How is the situation now?"
Communication module failure?
Well, after all, it is an old ship that has been in service for hundreds of years and has seriously exceeded the standard. It is not uncommon for some failures to occur, and this is not the first time.
In short, it's not just because of encountering the Starry Sky Zerg.
After all, the rebels now cannot afford to lose another battleship.
After a brief discussion, the Fuxing joined in and worked with the Wuluo to encircle and annihilate the remaining war insects.
And a few minutes later, another gravity wave appeared, and the Hope also arrived...
------
"captain!"
After returning to the Wuluo with the mecha squadron, Jiang Xingchen came to the bridge immediately.
"Xingchen, well done!"
"Now the speed and reaction of these starry sky bugs have returned to their original state. As long as you keep a distance and fight steadily, there will basically be no problem!"
Seeing Jiang Xingchen, Luo Hao also said with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.
"Captain, do you have any analysis results on why the insect mound increases the strength of the war insects?"
"Not yet. We can only wait until this is over and then send out a team to collect the fragments of the insect mound for analysis!"
Shaking his head, Luo Hao said.
So far, he has not been able to figure it out. He can only guess that this celestial body is somewhat special and can emit some special energy, and this energy has a stimulant effect on the starry sky Zerg.
Of course, this is just his guess and cannot be determined.
As he said, everything can only be determined after the fragments of the worm mound are found and comprehensively analyzed.
In response, Jiang Xingchen also nodded.
However, he always believed that things would not be that simple.
After all, if there is material containing special energy in that celestial body, even if it is blown into pieces, that material may not completely disappear.
Therefore, Jiang Xingchen always believed that there should be other reasons.
------
after an hour.
With the coordinated operations of the destroyer Wu Luo, the patrol ship Hope, and the patrol ship Fuxing, the remaining thousands of war bugs were finally flown as kites...
Kill them all.
Then, the three ships entered the post-war cleaning stage.
Not to mention, the usable value of the corpses of the Starry Sky Zerg is still very high, especially their pair of sickle-like front legs, which have proven to be a material with extremely high military value, and its hardness is even harder than the best known to the resistance.
Hard metals are higher.
Even the battleship armor of the Wuluo was made of this material.
However, originally, it would take anywhere from a few years to more than ten years for the Starry Sky Zerg to invade the Canglan system, and each time there would only be a hundred or so at most.
Most of the materials collected over hundreds of years have been used by the Wu Luo alone.
Therefore, the planned sister ship Wuluo has decided to use conventional materials to make armor. But now that we have obtained the corpses of tens of thousands of starry sky Zerg at once, it is enough to build three ships, not to mention one.
In other words, the rebels cannot enter other areas of the Death Nebula, otherwise they would have hunted these bugs everywhere.
Of course, in addition to collecting the corpses of the starry sky Zerg, another task is also very important.
That is the collection of fragments from the Worm Mound.
After all, if we don't understand why these war bugs become stronger, they will always be a huge threat to the resistance.
A few hours later, many of the fragments of the insect mound that flew everywhere due to the explosion had been caught up and pulled back.
But at this moment, everyone's attention is no longer on these fragments.
Because, along with these fragments, was recovered at the same time, part of a huge creature.
Just a piece of minced meat on its body weighed more than ten tons.
According to analysis, this species may have reached tens of meters in size and weighed 300-400 tons during its lifetime.
What exactly is this?
no one knows!
But the anomalies of the Starry Sky Zerg are probably related to this creature.
Of course, everything will have to wait for further analysis to be known, but these have nothing to do with the Wuluo.
After transferring the samples to an incoming transport ship, they headed back towards the Salant asteroid belt and returned to their original mission.
This time, the Wuluo did not rush slowly. After all, after the Fuxing left, there would be no battleship protection in the asteroid belt.
Therefore, under Luo Hao's order, the Wuluo used the jump engine to reach its destination in just over ten minutes.
However, Jiang Xingchen, who was experiencing a jump for the first time, felt a little nauseous.
Even after passing genetic enhancement, there is still no exemption in this regard, and one needs to adapt slowly.
However, the problem is not big. Judging from the intensity of his first reaction, he should be able to fully adapt to it after 2 or 3 times at most.
------
Salant asteroid belt.
This is the asteroid belt closest to Canglan Star, which is characterized by density and diversity of resources.
It is simply like a treasure. Compared with the asteroid belt in the solar system, the resources are hundreds of times richer.
The people working here are some of the most basic resource collection ships, which can be fully controlled by two people and can transport tens of thousands of tons of resources back each time.
Among the rebels, there are currently more than a hundred such collection ships. Although there are many, they generally operate in the same area to facilitate the escort of warships.
Therefore, Wu Luo doesn’t have to run around.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.
Speaking of escort days, they are actually very boring.
In addition to the necessary vigilance, the rest is all kinds of training, training and retraining.
On this day, Jiang Xingchen had just completed the training of the mecha squadron when he received an order from Luo Hao, asking him to report to the bridge immediately.
"Xingchen, take a look at this document!"
After handing the tablet in his hand to Jiang Xingchen, Luo Hao said.
After Jiang Xingchen looked at it for a while, his eyes became much more solemn.
This is a report from a scientific research institute.
Based on the analysis of the several pieces of unknown biological remains that were found and sent, it was found that the organ in one of the remains was very special. Judging from its structure, it was probably an organ with a jump function.
And this also explains why the insect mound came directly to the hinterland of the Canglan system without being discovered by the Fuxing.
Moreover, it was genetically confirmed that this creature was highly consistent with those war insects in some key genes.
This also proves one thing from the side, that it is in the way...
This creature also belongs to the starry sky Zerg tribe!
But if this is finally determined, it will be a big trouble for the resistance.
because...
The starry sky Zerg can no longer be limited to a fixed route into the Canglan system, but can appear wherever they want!
The difficulty of this prevention is more than ten times greater than before...
