Chapter Eighty-Three: The Beast
I didn't know what happened on the planet in the past, and the relevant reports only mentioned that there was a "major accident" at that time, which eventually caused the entire Ninth Fleet to lose more than 90% of its population and ships, so that the Empire finally had to reorganize the fleet three years later and set off again.

Therefore, when the Emperor mentioned the Yuanwangxing incident, I suddenly "chuckled" in my heart, and realized that I might know some real secrets today!
He continued: "In fact, not all of the far-sighted catastrophes we announced to the people in the past were ......"
As if the heaviness of the topic even needed him to ease, he paused before slowly speaking: "It wasn't until thirty years have passed since the incident, that is, one hundred and twenty-three years in the Galactic calendar, that we have a rough understanding of its truth. With that, he turned to face me, looked into my eyes gently, and asked, "Xiao Qiang, what do you think is the most terrifying creature?" ”
This question was asked a little suddenly, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, I opened my mouth with less confidence: "Titan Star Behemoth? ”
This fierce beast living in the Titan Star in the sixth star region is very famous in the empire, in addition to its extremely huge body and terrifying lethality of fangs and claws, it also has two very powerful abilities: one is that it can fly short distances, and the other is that its IQ is particularly high, almost reaching the level of about fifteen years old for humans; The addition of several items had a multiplier effect, causing the first team of cyborg to hunt it to suffer a big loss.
The three adult titan behemoths caused more than half of the hunting team led by a baron-level hunter composed of four fourth-level high-level and four fourth-level mid-level transformers, and even the captain of the baron-level mid-level was seriously injured and almost fell. Fortunately, another team of follow-up reinforcements arrived in time, and only then did they gather the strength of the two teams and retreat.
I heard Brother Chen talk about this when I was still at the Transhuman Research Institute, and he showed me a copy of the genome from this beast in a very ostentatious way. According to him, after hundreds of Titans were hunted as a key gathering target in the early days, they seemed to understand what humans were trying to do with them, and began to deliberately avoid the hunters, and their extremely high IQ made the hunt extremely difficult.
After the humans continued to intensify their hunting, they made an unimaginable response, and all the Titanmons found and trapped by the hunting team invariably made the same action - self-detonation!!
I don't know if this is an innate ability or an acquired ability, but this move has brought two results, the first is that the remaining limb fragments of the giant beast after the self-explosion have lost the possibility of extracting the genome; Another result was that their determination shocked the emperor Qin Jing at the time, and finally ordered the hunt to be terminated.
Only fifteen copies of the genome obtained before could be used, and it was particularly picky about the host, and the first three people to receive this genome modification broke through the fourth level very quickly, which made the research institute very excited; But when he hit the baron level later, he exploded and died without exception......
Brother Chen finally concluded regretfully: "The most powerful gene of all animals we know so far cannot be used by us, alas, ......"
The Emperor's question reminds me of this paragraph, which is why I answer it this way.
My answer brought a smile to his face, and he nodded approvingly, "You know that the Titanmon is not bad, this creature is indeed very powerful and respectable, including many experts from the Transhuman Research Institute who have the same opinion as you. ”
At this moment, I suddenly had a feeling in my heart that what I would hear next could have a significant impact on my life, and this inexplicable feeling made me draw greater attention.
"The matter I'm going to tell you today is an absolute secret in the Empire, and I hope you can keep it with us when you know about it." It seems that my feeling is right, as soon as the emperor said this, I quickly looked at his eyes solemnly, and nodded yes.
The Emperor's words continued after seeing me nod: "We have been looking for this piece of equipment that the Leopard King bought for you today, and it comes from this most terrifying creature!" ”
Today is really a day full of surprises, the outfit a few hours ago actually has such a big background, and it was given to me!! At this moment, I suddenly felt a little dizzy, almost unsteady.
The emperor paused very understandingly, waiting for me to recover from the state of fainting, and then slowed down and said, "Yes, this peerless beast took away sixteen million of us, and finally gave us a surprise......
In the next half hour, the Emperor's narration made me know about this imperial secret, and it also gave me a new understanding of the mystery and sinister nature of this universe.
The catastrophe of the distant star was actually caused by an animal!!
On the night that Duke Wessler left Yuanwangxing, everything was normal at the colonial base, and most of the people who had been busy all day had fallen asleep, and only a few of the officers on duty were still holding on to their posts.
The first to notice the anomaly was a young ensign who was on night duty in the monitoring room that day. It was three o'clock in the morning at the time of the distant star, and he was already a little sleepy and was suddenly awakened by the sharp chirp of the alert radar.
When the people were also awakened by the sound of the siren, and began to look around for its source, a loud noise took everyone over; They are horrified to find themselves surrounded by something!!
Later, through the restoration of the video data of the scene, this truth shocked all the investigators in the later period of the empire, and made the ruler of the empire make the decision that this matter must be kept strictly secret.
When the emperor said this, his expression was still full of shock and incredulity, this was the first change I had seen from his face since we met, and it was almost like two people with the calm and peace before; And what he said shocked me far beyond the limits of my imagination!
There are not many ferocious native beasts on the distant star, and it can even be said that there are not many animals, which is a fact that the reconnaissance team sent by Duke Wessler has repeatedly confirmed. As for this situation, the relevant experts at that time concluded that it was a local characteristic, and that a mature biological chain had not yet been formed.
Unfortunately, the experts were wrong.
There is only one beast of prey in the distant star, and that is its ocean!!
