The uninhabited planet, once known as the Desert Star, has long been thought to have no trace of civilization...... Until today.

With the assistance of the Planter Rocket Launch Center, a satellite representing the highest achievements in Earth science and technology was launched into the synchronous orbit of the Blue Star. And next, 15 more such satellites will be launched.

Although these satellites make extensive use of Earth technology, their ultimate control is firmly controlled by the Tarot server group - because they are completely incompatible with Earth hardware and software, the possibility of satellite rights theft is naturally minimized.

And Chen Zheng has the highest management authority of the entire tarot server group, so this satellite system, named "Sky Eye", is firmly in Chen Zheng's own hands.

For the time being, Bluestar's data still needs to be kept confidential...... At least, until Chen Zheng fully understands it, its data can't be easily grasped by too many people.

……

After attending the celebration banquet and affirming the work of the scientists, Chen Zheng began to connect to the newly launched satellite as soon as he returned to his residence.

At this point, it was already taking high-definition photos of the area around the base. Because there are a lot of sensor technologies stored in the tarot server, the photography system on the satellite at this time is not inferior to the earth technology, and in some aspects it is even slightly ahead.

But even for alien technology, it's not that easy to take high-definition photos of a planet – it takes a lot of time.

In fact, satellites hanging high in space are not as powerful as many people think - it is difficult to monitor the entire surface of the earth in real time, and early satellites even took months to complete the relatively basic satellite photo coverage of even taking pictures of the planet.

In fact, until now, most satellite maps have been limited to the extent that the resolution of about one meter can distinguish vehicles, and the coverage area is limited to major cities, and the slightly remote mountainous areas can only be fooled with lower resolution photos.

Even with the development of modern technology, it is still difficult for satellite cameras to cover all areas - the kind of video that can see moving planes and aircraft carriers in real time from space means a lot of money behind it - because it requires satellites in space to change orbits to shoot clearly.

Each orbit change takes a large amount of fuel carried by the satellite, which reduces the life of the satellite in disguise...... On Earth today, the launch weight is still measured in grams, so you can imagine how staggering the cost of each orbit change is.

What Earth technology can't do, it's also difficult for Chen Zheng to do the alien technology that Chen Zheng has mastered now. In this kind of planetary-level long-distance video detection technology, the gap between Earth and extraterrestrial technology is not large.

Actually, this is not difficult to understand.

For earthlings, if they want to break free from the shackles of the planet and destroy their place of existence by some unknown disaster, the only way to solve it is to look for it in the starry sky.

However, for the aliens who have mastered the technology of Zero Crystal, Zero Energy and Tide Gate, there is no need for them to explore the mysteries of other stars in the sky, they just need to open the portal and leave the planet that is about to be destroyed.

As for whether such a great migration would cause war...... That's another topic.

The celebration lasted less than two hours, and the integrated satellite, named "Tianyan"-1, also took advantage of this time to take rough pictures within 1,000 kilometers around the base, and was taking high-definition pictures little by little.

From the rough map of this 1,000-kilometer radius, it is densely covered with pitch-black "spots", only the most central circle and the adjacent part of the sea do not have those strange "spots" distributed, and the rest of the space has almost been filled with these messes.

"......" Chen Zheng silently looked at this rough map, and it was not difficult to find it compared to the places he had flown before...... These "spots" should all be the "bases" for the development of bugs.

It was known that bugs developed unusually fast...... But Chen Zheng never thought that the power of these insects had swelled to such an extent!

If this continues, I believe that these small "spots" will continue to expand, and eventually join together and envelop the entire planet! At that time, all living things will be exterminated by these greedy bugs, and the whole planet will be left with only bugs themselves.

“…… Whew......"

Chen Zheng took a deep breath.

With only a slight picture of the world ruled by insects in his mind, his breathing involuntarily became rapid...... Just thinking about that kind of scene can make people feel intimidated.

No way!

These bugs must not be allowed to grow!

……

After reading the rough picture, Chen Zheng brought up the high-definition photos again.

At this time, the high-resolution photo had just been updated to the vicinity of the air defense ring that the bugs had previously built—Chen Zheng could even see from the high-definition picture that the mining robot was working autonomously.

These high-definition photographs are still centered on the base, slowly expanding outward in a circular shape. As this high-definition "circle" gets bigger and bigger, its diameter growth rate is getting slower and slower, Chen Zheng waited for a few dozen minutes, but the frequency of photo updates can no longer catch up with the speed of his viewing.

Just as Chen Zheng was about to close the window, a newly taken picture suddenly caught his attention......

…… What is it!?

In the photo, you can clearly see the missile mother resting on the ground, the flying snake curled up in the fleshy nest, and even the devourer soaked in the acid pool......

These things are not new, the flying boss that Chen Zheng killed can't count with two hands and two feet, and what Chen Zheng cares about the most is the black sphere that stands tall in the center of this bug base town.

At first, Chen Zheng just thought this thing was very familiar...... But he soon remembered that when he was exploring the main nest of insects, wasn't the black "lightning" that shot down Brother Cheng a huge black sphere?

No matter how you look at it, the things in the previous videos are very similar to the outlines in the current satellite pictures, the difference is only that even if it is a high-definition version of the satellite pictures, the things on it are still very small, while the pictures taken by Chen Zheng and them before are very clear.

Chen Zheng quickly found the previous video of Brother Cheng's landline being shot down, and fixed the picture to the moment he was shot down.

“…… Looks like I'm going to have to make a trip myself. Chen Zheng looked at two pictures with very different resolutions, and the only thing he knew for sure was that they looked too similar......

……

"Hum—"

In the unique roar of the electric jet engine, a Viking fighter plane soared into the sky under Chen Zheng's posture and rushed straight into the distance.

At the speed of the Viking fighter plane, it quickly approached the bug base captured in the satellite images.

Before Chen Zheng approached, and he didn't know how the insects found Chen Zheng, he saw that there were "hulala" flying dragons in the base, and it seemed that there were no less than 20,000 of them!

Not only ordinary flying dragons, but even the boss-type flying creatures hiding in the center of the base to rest gradually flew up, and even a few flying snakes rushed up in the direction of Chen Zheng.

"......" Chen Zheng pushed the throttle valve violently, and rushed towards the sea of monsters in front of him! The Zerg in the sky was hiding the news that Chen Zheng was trying to get, so he had to fly closer to visually confirm what the black sphere that towered in the center of the bug base was......

"Boom!"

Electromagnetic cannon fire!

The improved electromagnetic cannon shell deliberately increased the penetrating power, so Chen Zheng did not beat a flying dragon into meat sauce as usual...... Instead, a cannonball pierced through the flesh of countless wyverns, heading straight for the huge black orb he had seen earlier......

"Click!!"

Really!

Just like Chen Zheng was worried about...... A black bolt of lightning rises from below the dragons! After killing a large number of flying dragons in an instant, it also accurately hit Chen Zheng's electromagnetic cannon.

I saw that the moment the scorching electromagnetic cannon came into contact with the black lightning, the originally red and shiny metal rod began to dim at an extremely fast speed, and then its speed began to become slower and slower...... It's as if something has not only swallowed its heat, but even its kinetic energy!!

No...... Wrong!

Chen Zhengmeng came to his senses...... It is impossible for kinetic energy to be absorbed in this form! It must be that the other party has some kind of physical protection means such as force field, otherwise it is difficult for other methods to interfere with the electromagnetic cannon containing huge energy.

One more shot!

"Boom-"

This time, with the roar of the cannon, the hot projectile flew at a faster speed in the direction of the black ball...... However, this time it was still useless, and the black lightning was entangled again! still used the original routine to easily resolve the threat brought to it by Chen Zheng.

"What the hell is this...... Not good! ”

Chen Zhenggang wanted to fly closer and observe the black ball thoroughly...... As a result, a line of death spread towards the drone piloted by Chen Zheng at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Wherever the black lightning passed, countless flying dragons were instantly stripped of their lives and smashed to the ground like stones......

Damn it!

"Buzz ————"

The electric jet engine let out a sharp roar, and the Viking fighter piloted by Chen Zheng quickly accelerated...... But just as he was about to flee, black lightning touched his car.

"Sneer......"

The speed of the EF engine began to drop dramatically, and the color of the tail flame of the Viking fighter quickly decreased...... Fortunately, before this, Chen Zheng had already increased the speed of the Viking fighter to the maximum, although the engine suddenly lost power, but still relied on inertia to get rid of the terrifying lightning shroud.

When the Viking fighter finally rushed out of the black "lightning" contact range, the electric jet engine "coughed" a few times and slowly recovered its power.

Dozens of seconds later, the Viking fighter that had regained power finally stabilized, and at this time, Chen Zheng also drove the Viking fighter far away, and when he looked back, he could only see a black fog in the distance, and it was difficult to distinguish the individual of the flying dragon.

Sitting in the simulated warehouse, Chen Zheng looked at the slow replay just now in disbelief......

…… This time, because the drone escaped, the video was shot with very high quality, and it can even be used as a high-speed camera to restore what was previously filmed frame by frame.

That's not a "lightning" at all!!

Chen Zheng finally saw the true face of the thing - it seemed to be very light and thin, like graphite fibers, and at the same time a little bifurcated and curled...... But in reality it is alive!

Chen Zheng clearly saw that the waving black filament instantly rolled over several flying dragons, and finally flicked like a frog's tongue, instantly grabbing the tail of the Viking fighter!

Immediately after that, the tail flame of the Viking fighter began to have problems...... It seems that it can have an impact just by contact, and the monitoring panel clearly indicates that the temperature inside the engine is dropping dramatically!

Overall, the black "lightning" looks like hyphae or hair, except that it can use the wyvern floating in the sky as a springboard and then throw itself at an incoming air target.

Although each attack consumes the lives of dozens of wyverns, it has to be said that ...... It's a good deal!

Even the Viking fighter piloted by Chen Zheng was almost shot down by it in this way...... Not to mention others, even at the level of a little fat man, he may not be able to avoid such a sudden attack, and it is even more unlikely that the other students will be spared.

After Chen Zheng reviewed the entire video frame by frame, he re-called up the video of Brother Cheng when he was killed...... It was only then that he noticed a detail: at the same time that Brother Cheng was killed, several wyverns were also swept down and killed by the tentacles or mycelium.

This is clearly a newly developed means of air defense from the bugs!

……

"So, what do you think?" Chen Zheng asked, and on the other side of Chen Zheng's screen was the man with glasses who had fallen into deep thought.

"This ...... It seems to have been achieved with a special evolutionary method......" The man in glasses shook his head as he looked at it, "I've never seen anything like this...... Such a 'smart' evolutionary ......"

"......," Chen Zheng quietly waited for him to explain.

“…… In general, evolution is the accumulation of benign mutations through natural selection. Variation is a thing that is fraught with uncertainty, and the variation that occurs naturally is rarely benign. Because of this, evolution has always been a slow, difficult process. It relies on accumulation. ”

"But now this thing in front of us ...... It is by no means a product of natural evolution! Instead, it seems like some crazy scientists use means to guide the specialized mutation step by step...... And it's the kind that's very targeted! It is very rare for an organism to alienate itself into a means of countermeasures. The man with glasses frowned as he spoke, obviously he also had a lot of doubts in his heart.

“…… In other words, that thing is intelligent, and it can even control the mutation and evolution of its own population......" Chen concluded.

"Impossible! How can there be a change guided by wisdom? Wisdom is resistant to change......"

As he spoke, the glasses man's face suddenly turned pale, and he said slowly:

"No, I remembered...... It's not completely impossible......"

The process of rocket launch though there is
