I was a little weak by what he said, and it was not easy to refute, so I had to tell him not to interrupt and let Xiao Ai continue to introduce the situation.

"The surface carapace of the blood beetle is blood-red, and the way they attack the Qingtang Star is to use a high-strength solution in the body to melt the other party's carbonaceous structure, and resynthesize the fairy stone ore components in their body before eating.

"That picture must be miserable, you can imagine how devastating the hearts of the Qingtang Star people would be when they came into contact with the blood beetle at the beginning." I said.

"Yes, at that time, before the scientists of Qingtang Star had a clear understanding of the ecological relationship behind the blood beetle and the immortal stone, their army began a large-scale combat operation, intending to clear the way for the continuation of mining by clearing the way for this threatening creature; Since the weapon energy composition of Qingtang Star is also based on the fairy stone mine, the weapon that is very powerful in the eyes of the military is actually the nourishment of the blood beetle, and soon, the landing force of the expedition to Longyou No. 1 Star was quickly devastated, and only a few personnel fled back to the fleet stationed over the planet. If they had realized the problem and admitted defeat at that time, evacuated from Longyou 1, arranged for scientists to conduct research on the surface of Longyou 2 or 3, adopted more reasonable mining methods, and stopped digging deep into the planet's depths, they might have been able to develop steadily, and through in-depth research and discovery, they should be able to find a way to live in peace with the blood beetle, at least much better than the current situation. ”

"So what did they do at the time?" The cone and I asked together this time.

"Well, their government resolution authorizes the planetary fleet to use the ultimate weapon of Qingtang Star, which is similar to our nuclear fusion weapon, with greater power and scope, intending to eliminate all the blood beetles on the planet in one fell swoop, and completely wipe out this threat at one time, but the situation is beyond their plan: the decomposition and synthesis of the blood beetles in their bodies caused the immortal stone mines in their bodies to be in an abnormally active high-energy state, that is, they themselves are very powerful biological bombs, The heavy carapace of the blood beetle itself maintains the stability and balance of energy, but the immense power of the nuclear bomb upsets this balance and becomes the detonator of these biological bombs... Soon, the explosion caused a chain reaction, thousands of blood beetle bombs exploded continuously, such an effect extended to the underground core of Longyou No. 1, the core damage led to a devastating explosion in half of the planet's area, and a large number of chips flew to the very close Longyou No. 2 and No. 3 stars, causing the two planets to also explode, and the expeditionary planetary fleet was inevitably involved in it and was completely annihilated; The fragments of the three planets began to scatter to other regions of the entire star system, although the Qingtang Star was far away, but there were also many fragments into orbit, their technology helped them intercept most of the debris, but there were still 7 extremely small pieces of debris that ended up in the Qingtang Star, although the scope of the explosion was extremely limited, but the bane had been planted. ”

The cone continued, "I guess there's a blood beetle on the shard, a creature with thick skin and extremely tenacious life. After coming to Qingtang Star, they came into contact with their close relatives Immortal Stone Worm, and soon found a way to live in a new environment. ”

Xiao Ai nodded and replied: "It's not too much, many blood beetles rely on their strong shells and extremely strong vitality to follow the fragments to Qingtang Star, although the explosion and impact made most of them not persist to the end, there are still very few who survived, and the remnant genes of the blood beetles that did not survive also quickly combined with the fairy stone insects of Qingtang Star, quickly adapted to the environment here, and soon formed their unique ecosystem, which began to expand and spread in Qingtang Star." By the time the Qingtang Star people found an effective way to suppress the expansion of the blood beetle, 70% of the surface of the Qingtang Star had become the territory of the blood beetle, and now, even the surface of the ocean was covered with the fairy stone mine that the Qingtang Star people were crazy about, but they couldn't be happy anymore. The Qingtang people passed a bill decades ago, banning the mining and application of all fairy stone mines, which set their civilization back hundreds of years, but this effectively slowed down the speed of the blood beetle's attack, and the living conditions of the Qingtang people have improved a lot. ”

I asked, "But as things stand, the threat is still there, right?" They call themselves the defense team, and as the name suggests, they should only be on the defensive, far from the time when they can regain lost ground and drive the blood beetles out of Qingtang Star. ”

"Yes, although they found that the high temperature barrier can effectively block the expansion of the blood beetle - the blood beetle is in an unstable high-energy state, and the high temperature will further intensify, which is why they generally do not take action during the day, so the Qingtang Star people have set up a high-temperature energy shield in the remaining controllable areas to prevent the blood beetle from breaking through."

"Didn't the blood beetle live underground? Couldn't they sneak underground into the area controlled by the Qingtang Stars, and then drill out of the ground? The cone asked.

"The energy shield is a closed-loop protection device, and they have thought it through, with a high-temperature shield above the ground and a cryogenic cooling layer just underground, so as to maintain the energy balance of the entire area. The underground of these Qingtang Star settlements is covered with a cryogenic layer nearly 100 meters thick, and the low temperature close to absolute zero can also hinder the activity of blood beetles. ”

"Why are they so nervous when the blood beetles can't enter their area? Could it be that such a barrier did not achieve the desired effect? ”

Xiao Ai replied: "This is also another strange place I found, the blood beetle divides the remaining Qingtang Star Territory into 7 disconnected areas, the first region is the defense headquarters, which is a military region, and a theater commander is set up, responsible for commanding and supporting the security and defense of the other 6 civilian areas, the theater commander and the administrators of the civilian districts are in contact through the network, sharing intelligence information, and formulating military operations that echo each other, a few days before we came, their third and fourth districts had just completed the merger, Through the battle plan, the third and fourth districts were connected together, but there was still time to celebrate, just two days ago, the new third region after the merger suddenly lost contact, there was no news, according to the confidential information sent back by the special investigation team sent by the general headquarters of the first region at the scene, the new third district was quickly counterattacked by blood beetles, and the whole region has fallen... In addition, there are cases of mysterious disappearances of residents in several major districts from time to time, and the relevant investigations have no clue, which also casts a shadow on the defense and security of each district; In order to avoid causing panic, the upper command system temporarily concealed the news from the people, but said that some technical docking problems occurred after the merger of the regions, and they were still being solved, so they temporarily lost connection with other regions. ”

The cone gloated a little and said, "Sooner or later, such a thing can't be hidden." I'm afraid they are very desperate, they originally wanted to open up the major regions, and then regain the lost territory step by step, but they lost more on the first attempt, human beings are like this, they will never reflect, and they will not stop making up for their previous mistakes with wrong actions, they can only add mistakes to mistakes, and finally kill themselves. ”

I looked at the cone and felt that this cat should have had a deep hatred with people in the past, and my bags of cat food were far from being able to pull him out of the abyss of hatred, and I asked Xiao Ai, "So what happened?" Was it caused by the mixing of blood beetles during the merger of regions? ”

Xiao Ai sighed: "The information in this area is incomplete, the investigation team issued a preliminary report, pointing out that when the region merged, it was confirmed that there were no blood beetles on the surface of the ground, and there was no mutant controlled by blood beetles mixed in, and there was a high probability that the region was directly attacked from the outside, which is also the most terrible conclusion, which means that the defense system that the Qingtang people have built with great difficulty is facing the crisis of failure, but soon the investigation team lost contact with the headquarters, and it is speculated that it should have been attacked, and was attacked by a small number of blood beetles that suddenly appeared, and all of them died." Although the true news was blocked, the instructions issued by the command headquarters to each level in the past two days have significantly strengthened the defense efforts, requiring early warning of changes in various areas at any time, they still don't believe in the inference that the blood beetle will attack the region from the outside, but they are worried that the mutant controlled by the blood beetle will mix into the area and destroy the high-temperature barrier transmission tower, causing the blood beetles outside to be able to enter the region. ”

"By the way, what kind of mutant was Cao Sir talking about just now, what's going on?" Since Xiao Ai mentioned it, I hurriedly asked.

"Blood beetles have newly learned skills after coming to Qingtang Star, they can copy the gene fragments and even memory fragments of the Qingtang Star people they eaten, and use some fairy stones to synthesize humanoid mutants, and they can speak simple language, as a disguise to approach the Qingtang Star people and lure more victims. However, this mutant is easily recognizable, after all, it is only humanoid, has no real intelligence, and does not survive for long. Cao Sir was a little worried that we were a new type of mutant, but he didn't find any characteristics of blood beetles on us, and there were no indicators of immortal stone mines, so he judged that we didn't pose a threat, otherwise he might really solve us at that time. ”

It's so dangerous, I just know what kind of crisis is hidden in the chatter just now, alas, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, it is better to let Xiao Ai find a safe place, wait smoothly for the intersection of time and space to arrive, and leave quickly.
