Chapter 52: The End of K30 (I)
K30 is less than three light-years away.
"My lord, Donia has completed the calculation of the star map within twenty light years, and the probability of reaching the galaxy named K30 in the star map code in one jump is 98%."
The cecum of the one-of-a-kind space worm mother Donia...... No, the anthropomorphic body is reporting to the fat worm in the body.
After two months, Donia and Fat Worm-kun have changed a lot.
Fat Worm-kun has broken away from his previous stiff demon state, and is already very close to humans, except for his reddish complexion, only some joints still retain some areas. This change cost some skill points, but it was not a meaningless waste, with the new skills, when he transformed the bug, he no longer needed dozens of generations of mutations, only more essence and time.
It may sound like a complete step backwards in history, but it's not.
The process of reproduction from generation to generation will actually reduce the total amount of essence and produce some waste, on the other hand, in the period when the life span is extremely short, the mutated insects have no ability to fight and act.
After the new ability is freed from the shackles of the generational mutation, it can be terminated at any time during the evolutionary process, and the evolved individual can maintain the ability before the evolution, and the evolution is completed as if it were a skill.
Compared to the changes of the Fat Worm King, Donia's changes should be regarded as earth-shaking.
Grown to a full-fledged form, Donia is now a giant object over seven kilometers in length, with a more geometric spindle-shaped exterior and a black, non-reflective color that blends in with the space background, making it unrecognizable as a creature on the outside.
Inside, the command and living quarters of the Fat Worm King have also evolved crystallized floors and walls, plus porcelain luster decorations, which not only do not look like the interior of creatures, but also have a sense of the times.
Appearance is only one aspect, the complete body of Donia is already the center of the Zerg in the true sense, although she can only produce two semi-adult space insect mothers at a time, but her essence capacity limit is almost equal to a hundred times that of the normal space insect mother complete body, which means that as long as Donia in the state of full essence can find organic matter, and even stones, she can lead the insect swarm to create almost unlimited amounts of all kinds of war insects!
The price of Donia's growth is the fall of the wandering planet.
After dozens of days of frenzied collection, the mineral structure of the wandering planet has undergone earth-shaking changes, and now there is a landslide with a radius of more than one kilometer almost every tens of seconds, and on this wandering planet with a diameter of two thousand kilometers, any point will encounter disasters every day.
Mining is progressing so quickly, thanks to the thinner atmosphere and low gravitational pull of the wandering planets, which can make the most of the phantom worms.
Twenty kilometers below the surface of the wandering planet is no longer of use to the insect swarm, so the fat worm-kun has also been thinking about returning to the human world recently. If it is not defeated, the swarm will have to undergo a large-scale high-intensity evolution to take advantage of the area with higher underground pressure and temperature.
Donia completed the positioning calculation of the star map, which slightly stimulated the fat bug king, but the hooligans left a deep enough impression on him, and after some struggle, he finally decided to let Donia continue to improve the accuracy of going to K30 and carry out a comprehensive evolution of the bottom of the swarm.
Due to the fact that the shallow layer of the wandering planet has been very seriously damaged, disasters will cause a large number of low-level bugs to die all the time, and the evolution cannot be completed on the ground, if it is mined in the future, it will cost a lot of essence to recreate the worms, so the comprehensive evolution here will not bring more direct benefits to the insect swarm of the Fat Worm King, and it can only be regarded as an investment in the future.
There is a weak insect companion room in the space worm mother manufacturing cavity, which is a bonus to the transformation ability of the fat worm king, and it does not take much time for the ground insect mother, tunnel worm, refining worm and other ground types to evolve synchronously in each companion room.
In order to support the evolution of the entire batch of more than 100,000 bugs, the essence of the insect swarm has not increased at all in the past ten days, and the fat worm Jun decided not to wait any longer, and put the final stage of evolution to the next resource extraction star to complete, that is, the environmental adaptation stage.
"Donia, go to the human world and show them the power of the swarm."
"Your will is the direction of the swarm."
……
The K30 was subordinate to the inherent territory of the Barrow Empire.
However, despite being called an empire, Barrow is not the same as the behemoth of the MR Cluster, and is only a medium-sized country with three galaxies.
The countries on the KT Cluster are smaller in size and have few internal conflicts, which makes them more likely to pursue some strange policies than the other big country, just like the country in the "Blue Sea Nurtures Love" land. The Barrow Empire is not an extremist belief that promotes quasi-religion like the Blue Country, but only promotes human intelligence within its borders.
Human intelligence is more straightforward is semi-mechanized, they hope to use human intelligence technology to strengthen the ability of human beings in all aspects, and have a longer lifespan, after decades of policy push, more than eighty percent of the domestic people will consciously accept a certain mechanical and electronic transformation.
Kobayashi is the radar watchman at K30 outpost 3, and like other radar watchmen, he has undergone retinal modification, so he can close his eyes and "see" the pictures collected and sorted by radar and sensors. The electronic retina uses bioelectricity, which has a weak ability to receive data, and as the distance increases, the amount of data received decreases.
Today, Kobayashi and his colleagues were also lazily watching TV in the duty room, and the distance between them and the host computer was beyond the accurate reception range of the electronic retina.
The commander in charge of the night shift patrol passed by the radar duty area, but just followed Xiao Lin and a few others to look at the picture on the TV and left, and did not order them to return to their posts. No one in the entire outpost seemed to pay attention to such a trivial matter, and it seemed that they had gotten used to it.
The reason why it is so slack, in addition to the fact that K30 has not directly encountered a war for more than 30 years, there is also a very important reason - the resident star closest to Outpost 3 will soon no longer belong to the Barrow Empire.
K30E4 was mortgaged to the Planetary Management Development Bank by the Barrow Empire twenty years ago, and the loan has expired, and the Barrow Empire has not repaid any of it, and according to the lending regulations, K30E4 has entered the handover stage. Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and even the Ministry of Defense are trying to repay their debts in the media, and the Development Bank has kept its sanity for the time being, the twelve planets in the hands of the Development Bank are not provided by the hands of the mortgagee, and no one is optimistic that the Barrow Empire can leave K30E4.
According to the latest reports, the Development Bank has obtained the permission of the Interstellar Court of Arbitration and is preparing to enforce the contract, and "relevant people who do not want to be named" said that the Development Bank will fully take over K30E4 within half a month, and called on K30E4 residents to remain calm during the handover, and it is better to stay at home.
"Huh?" Kobayashi, who was watching the news report, suddenly let out a questioning voice.
"What's wrong?" A colleague asked.
Xiao Lin shook his head, unable to confirm whether it was the spot cast by the electronic retina just now or his own visual hallucination: "It's okay, it seems that I saw something, I'll go to the host to take a look." ”
was about to leave, but was pulled by a colleague: "Maybe it's the fleet of the Development Bank that is coming, is it useful for you to go?" ”
Xiao Lin sat down dejectedly when he heard this, anyone who heard that the land of his country would immediately belong to someone else, and he would be like him if he couldn't do anything.
His colleague was not particular about his mouth, so after thinking about it, he turned off the TV and closed his eyes.
When he opened it for a while, he pushed Xiao Lin: "You're hallucinating, there's nothing." As he spoke, he turned on the TV again.
Watching the TV, the two of them flashed radar images from time to time in their electronic retina, which had nothing to do with usual, and gradually felt that something was wrong.
After glancing at each other, the two got up and ran back to the main room, and the various data, charts, and views provided in the electronic retina became clear.
"What's that? Why hasn't the Electronic Reconnaissance Department reacted when it entered the alarm range? Kobayashi exclaimed.
"Stone......" colleague is not very sure, if it is a big stone, it should be set at a very long distance, how can it be found in front of you.
The two looked at each other again, and Xiao Lin asked a little hesitantly, "Do you want to ...... Do you want to pull the alarm? ”
"Why don't you wait for the picture to be clearer? If it's a false positive, we'll lose our jobs. "In a peaceful region, unemployment is definitely a big deal.
Xiao Lin was also frightened by his colleague's reason, bit his lip, smashed his left hand into a fist into his right hand, turned around and went to the other side of the main room, and pressed the communication button on the wall: "The radar main engine room found an unknown object, and asked the No. 2 and No. 5 observation glasses to point in the direction of 23 and -170 to provide ranging assistance." ”
"Huh? Found the fleet of the Development Bank? A lazy voice came from the other side.
A few minutes later, two sets of images were added to the electronic retina, and the ranging numbers were marked on them.
"It's over!" When my colleague saw the ranging number, he was blinded on the spot, because the kilometer value displayed on it was only six digits, which is still a word, and the safety monitoring range of the outpost should be three million kilometers!
Xiao Lin was also stunned, but he quickly reacted, clenched his fist and smashed it at the big red button covered with a transparent lid: No matter what those are, in short, let the outpost security system work first!
However, in the face of the reckless insect swarm led by the Fat Insect King, more than 100,000 kilometers were actually already within the range of the "shuttle"! The reason why he didn't launch the attack for a long time was to see if all humans were as difficult as the rogue in his birthplace, and to test whether the "skin" of the big worm that evolved in the ice area was useful.
It turns out that the system used to defend against the invasion of war machines is useless in the face of the biota, and when the information fed back by the flying bug queen found that the human fighter plane was approaching, the fat bug monarch ...... to the cecum of Donia next to him The anthropomorphic nodded, and spat out a sentence:
"Inform Natasha and let them disappear, let's go to the green planet first."
