At the end of the corridor, six space exchange elevators are installed. The exterior of the elevator is equipped with a moon door, and the doors are uniformly white on both sides of the wall. The doorway is decorated with different materials such as shale, pebbles, strip stones, wood, bricks, metal, etc., symbolizing the process of human exploration from ancient times to the future. Originating from the legend of the Xia people's "Chang'e running to the moon", the Moon Gate is famous for its round shape like the moon, which not only means reunion, but also represents deep longing, and is also used as a passage to reach another space.

The group stopped in front of the elevator decorated with wooden door openings, and the smart device next to the elevator confirmed their identity, and immediately lit up the green light, and the elevator door opened instantly. Xiao Shuai Shuai led them in, everyone took a look at the inside of the elevator, the car is all decorated with composite metal materials, dark gray ground, silver-white wall top, side walls are "S" shaped curves, echoing the arc at the top, and the overall streamlined shape is more technological. The back wall is fitted with a silver mirror, and in the middle of the silver mirror are seven honeycomb devices of different colors. The two hidden light strips at the top emit a pale yellow light, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold and hard elevator space.

At this time, a female robot appeared on the display screen in the elevator, and she gently prompted: "Distinguished guests, please report the number of floors you are going to?" ”

Xiao Shuaishuai waved his hand to the female robot in the display screen and said loudly, "Anqi, please send us to the sixty-sixth floor!" Thank you! ”

"Xiao Shuaishuai, are you sure it's all sixty-six floors?" The virtual robot named Angel thought for a moment and asked again.

"Yes, we all went to the sixty-sixth floor, not to the other floors!" Xiao Shuaishuai hurriedly answered her.

"Okay, the sixty-sixth floor has been decided, arrive soon!" As Angel finished speaking, the honeycomb device on the silver mirror began to work, and the lights danced between the different colored devices. Dongfang Changsheng seemed to have a flash of light in front of them, and before they could see what was going on, the elevator door opened.

The virtual robot Angel looked around the screen and politely prompted: "Distinguished guests, the sixty-sixth floor has arrived, please check your belongings, if there is no problem, please leave as soon as possible!" Welcome to your next ride! Thank you! ”

Several people hurriedly walked out of the elevator, but Xiao Shuaishuai did not follow. It stood at the elevator doorway, pointed to a tall arched automatic door opposite, and said, "Three VIPs, the alliance conference hall has arrived, you can enter through that gate!" ”

"Okay, got it! Xiao Shuaishuai, why don't you come with us? Du Xin was reluctant to let it go, and asked reluctantly.

"Mission accomplished! I'm going back! You still have important things to do, so I won't bother. Come back to me if there's anything, okay? Xiao Shuai Shuai said methodically.

"Alright! Good bye! Handsome! The three of them waved goodbye to it.

Xiao Shuaishuai also waved his hand, then turned around and entered the elevator, and the elevator door slammed shut......

In the conference hall of the alliance, Chairman Guan Datong shouted Dongfang Changsheng's name twice, but no one responded. He looked at the audience and asked loudly again, "Hasn't Colonel Dongfang Changsheng arrived yet?" Isn't it coming today? Marshal Zhuge Ming, please hurry up and contact him to see what happened to him? ”

Marshal Zhuge Ming was just about to get up to respond, when a sonorous voice sounded in the back row: "Chairman, I'm here!" Everyone looked at the back row, but saw Dongfang Changsheng and his party walking from the back to the front row of the audience.

They sat down on the vacant seat next to Marshal Zhuge Ming, Zhuge Ming looked at Dongfang Changsheng and asked him in a low voice: "Changsheng, the meeting is half an hour in advance, why didn't you prepare in advance?" That's not your usual style, is it? ”

"Marshal! I received the latest news from the Galactic Hunters at the Dragon's Head Base that the Cicada People have temporarily returned to Cassiopeia γ, and according to them, they will soon launch an attack on the Dragon's Head Base. The Vostok is currently in urgent need of weapons and equipment and personnel replenishment, and it is too late because it is busy with deployment! Dongfang Changsheng explained to Zhuge Ming in a low voice, as for he didn't know that the alliance meeting was half an hour in advance, he didn't say. Zhuge Ming nodded to him in understanding.

"Colonel Dongfang Changsheng, since you have arrived, let's describe this Cicada Star invasion incident, so that everyone can understand the situation and discuss a countermeasure!" Chairman Guan Datong saw that they were already seated, so he once again asked Dongfang Changsheng to tell what happened.

Dongfang Changsheng stood up and said to everyone with a little apology: "I'm sorry everyone! I'm late! As for this cicada invasion, it came very suddenly, and it can be said that we were caught off guard. In the face of their advanced technology, our weapons play very little role, and we are simply helpless. In order to break through the encirclement, the 26 soldiers of the advance team sacrificed their lives bravely, and the price was quite heavy. As for the fact that the Vostok was able to return to the sea, it is not our credit, but there are unknown reasons in it, and the specific reason is still unclear. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent leads to victory in a hundred battles. Although we have detected the presence of cicadas before and know that they are generally active in the area between the constellations Shield and Perseus, we are just too far away to have a chance to make contact with each other, so we know very little about them. Some information about them is also known through the information provided by the Galactic Hunters. ”

Then, Dongfang Changsheng took out a small quantum display from his handbag, and he connected the host signal of the display to the display screen in the hall. Immediately, a photo of the cicada guards appeared on the display, and everyone was surprised to see it.

Dongfang Changsheng pointed to the cicada guards on the display screen and explained to everyone: "This is the low-level guard of the cicada star, its sharp pincers on its upper limbs can attack at close range, the two meat balls on its middle limbs can shoot red venom bullets, and the thighs of its lower limbs are serrated and strong. He usually walks upright, but can run on all fours in an emergency. ”

Dongfang Changsheng flipped the picture to the next one, and a photo of the captain of the cicada star man appeared on the display. He pointed to the display screen and continued to explain to everyone: "This is the captain of the cicada, his upper and lower limbs are used for the same purpose as guards, and the two meat balls in the middle limb can fire red control bullets and venom bullets respectively. Everyone can understand the venom bomb, and the effect of the control bomb will be told to you here. When the control bullet hits the opponent's soldiers, the opponent's thinking will obey its control, which can make the opponent's soldiers turn against themselves without a fight, which is relatively much better than the guards. In particular, the tree-like structure of its head can be used for group communication and spatio-temporal image memory, which is very powerful. ”

"This is the cicada's giant insect ship, about 550 meters to 1,000 meters long, huge in size, the source of power is unknown, and it is speculated that it is likely to be driven by some kind of crystal energy. Of course, it's not the same thing as the Star Soul Crystal energy we developed. The configuration of weapons in the ship is also not very clear, judging from this incident, it is mainly liquid weapons, and the corrosive damage and toxic damage caused by weapons are very strong, and the killing range of the projectile body after explosion is very large. The ground forces are presumably composed of cicada guards and beetle commandos enslaved by them, and the air forces are mainly flying beetles and mutant flying beasts under their control. Dongfang Changsheng lowered his head, flipped the image to the next one, and continued to explain.

After showing everyone a few pictures, he continued step by step: "Of course, I have other information provided by them here, so I won't focus on it here, and friends in need can contact me after the meeting, and I will pass it on to you." Okay, I'll go on, but judging from the information provided by the Galactic Hunters, they don't know much about the source of the technology of the Cicadas, but only focus on explaining that the Cicadas are not interested in our planet's resources, but covet our population. According to incomplete statistics from the Alliance's Population Office, more than 50,000 people mysteriously disappear from the planets under the Alliance's rule every year, all of which are said to be related to cicadas. As for the purpose of the cicadas to plunder our population, the Galactic Hunters did not give an answer! The Cicadas only allow them to trade outside the planet, and they are not allowed to enter the interior of the planet, so the details are not clear. The information also says that the cicadas are affected by the interstellar environment, and it is very likely that they will change their way of survival in the future, and will slowly change from nomadic plundering to directional invasion, so let us be careful. Of course, the Galaxy Hunters are mercenary, and the information they provide is exchanged by our side for a fee, and the authenticity of the information remains to be verified. Overall, this failure shows that we don't know enough about ourselves, and we still have a long way to go compared to other unknown civilizations. The ancestors said that if you fall behind, you will be beaten! Yes, we are currently on the backward side, but we must not stop moving, we must turn our grief into strength, continue to forge ahead, defeat them, and regain the glory of our Xia people! Thank you, I'm done! ”

"Well spoken!" The audience immediately responded with warm applause, and it did not stop for a long time.

Chairman Guan Datong waved his hand to the audience, signaling everyone to calm down first, and then he spoke: "Just now, Senior Colonel Dongfang Changsheng explained and analyzed the ins and outs of the incident to everyone in depth, and learned some information about our enemy. Yes, there is a big gap between our technology and theirs, but when war comes, we must show our swords. Next, I would like to invite Comrade Wang Weijun, President of the Alliance Academy of Sciences, to present their latest research results. ”

Wang Weijun, President of the Alliance Academy of Sciences, stood up in a round of applause, he nodded to everyone, and said with great interest: "Thank you, thank you for your support and help to the Alliance Academy of Sciences, our scientists have been making unremitting efforts and making positive progress. Recently, the Academy of Sciences has convened many scientists in the alliance to study the military science and technology of the cicadas, and formulated an "armor-breaking plan" for them, and the first phase of the plan has begun to be launched. ”
