Chapter 54

Swarm Twenty-One floats in orbit over the planet below.

On this planet, the ocean occupies most of the surface of the planet, and the rest is the land. There are four continents, two of which are partially connected, and the rest are completely isolated by the ocean.

Swarm 21 managed to survive in space, though its expected lifespan was only a few weeks.

Of course, the actual lifespan is definitely more than that, but in terms of space, the estimated lifespan is definitely lower.

Swarm 21 is the longest-lived one of the Zerg who have ascended into space so far, and the previous twenty-odd or so have all failed, and before these twenty or so Zerg, there are dozens of others who died before they fully entered space.

However, according to some information from Mephistous, Tyron finally has a way to come up with a suitable structure for space exploration.

"First of all, we have to increase the resolution...... At this level, you can only see a rough outline......" Taryn muttered to himself, "There are various other ways to detect it......"

Swarm 21 is just an experiment, and Tylen is planning to develop a Zerg battleship, but at the same level...... It is expected to be a cut below the hamsters' steel-plate battleships......

"The words of the battleship...... How do you design it? Taryn thought to himself, he didn't know anything about it, maybe he could ask the hamster.

……

"Battleship design? Powerful armor and firepower, aren't these two points? Mephistos said as a matter of course, "As long as you do these two things, you will have the strength to fight." But it's not easy to do both. ”

"Big ships and big guns...... It feels very unreliable......" Taryn said, and after thinking for a few seconds, he remembered the words: "The good attacker moves above the nine heavens, and the good defender hides under the nine earths." ”

"Juggernaut, I don't think there's a problem, huh? A stronger carapace provides better protection, and a stronger attack can break through the opponent's defenses. Sekent, who communicated with Mephistos, said.

“…… Wrong. Taryn looked at the panels of the various creatures in front of him, "That's not right, Sekent, you were in charge of collecting genetic samples before, and you often fought those creatures, right?" ”

"Yes."

"So, how many creatures have heavy carapaces? Especially predators. Taryn asked.

“…… There are only a dozen of them. Sakkender said.

"So what makes you feel the hardest thing to deal with is the one with or without a carapace?"

"Hmm...... Carapace ones are easier to deal with, they tend to be slower, easily overtaken by swarms, and are not agile enough. It's easy to deal with, and the hardest ones are those who run fast and can run anywhere, and they can't get rid of them if they can't catch up. However, none of these creatures have any carapace...... Oh, I see. Sekkende suddenly realized.

"So...... The design concept should be based on agility and speed of action, but if you hit an asteroid...... Tsk, that's a nuisance. Wait," Taryn paused, how did the hamsters deal with asteroid impacts? A simple steel plate can't withstand an asteroid that hits at high speed, right?

"Sekander, ask him how the hamster empire copes with an asteroid impact." Taryn said.

"How to deal with an asteroid impact?" Mephistopheles was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "There's no need, space is very empty, you can't necessarily hit those rocks if you fly with your eyes closed, if you do, then you're probably cursed by something." ”

“…… So how did your ships keep those high-speed flying debris out of the way? ”

"It's just blocked, those small pieces are not something very difficult to block, and the big ones can be dodged completely." Mephistopheles said.

“……”

The consequence of jumping into technology without understanding the principle is that you don't know what kind of environment these technologies are used in.

Taryn decided not to use the thick armor, anyway, he could slowly test the past, the first step has been completed, and the rest of the problems have to be discovered from practice.

……

After months of stop-and-go, the green-skinned rats finally reached the edge of the continent. Herbivores don't provide that much power.

"This is ......" The green-skinned rats looked at the sea in front of them in surprise, the most water they had ever seen was a lake, and the ocean had never been seen before.

"What a big lake...... Bigger than any lake I've ever seen. A green-skinned rat man said.

"Wouldn't this be the end of the world? Our world is surrounded by water? Another green-skinned rat man said.

Phil looked at the ocean in front of him, pondered for a long time, and said, "We can try to fly a little higher, just like the one we flew before, so that we can see farther." ”

"But let's take a break. Let's see if there are any creatures like ours, and we can grab a few to save dry food. "Be careful," said the captain, "and don't provoke those who look dangerous." ”

"Understood." The stronger green-skinned rats picked up their crossbows and prepared to hunt.

Phil was a thin one, and it was left here.

Walking on the beach and looking at the endless ocean, Phil suddenly felt the urge to roar.

However, in the next second, it saw an extremely terrifying scene, an extremely large creature jumped up from under the surface of the sea, and its huge body could be clearly seen even from such a long distance.

However, the creature's tail had been gnawed so notched that Phil could even see the white bones. Then, several huge creatures poked their heads out of the ocean and bit at the largest of them. Phil could hear the creature's wail

The sea churned violently, and red blood spread.

After a while, the sound died down and the sea returned to calm, except for the incomplete stains of blood that proved that there had been a battle.

"Douluo Continent: Future Visitors"

Tang Wulin, a somewhat special citizen of the Star Alliance, has no parents, but in the Star Alliance, the family has been disintegrated, so it doesn't have much to do with it.

Later, he crossed over and came to this strange place, which, judging by what he heard, seemed to be ...... 20,000 years ago, the home planet of the Covenant...... (This book also doesn't exist.)
