Chapter 112: The Last Piece of the Puzzle
The Anik people, who were already thinking about how to coexist with humans after the bugs were gone, obviously thought too much, are the bugs so easy to light?
After the Bugs were put into the battlefield with a type of reconnaissance ship, they did suffer losses in the transition zone between the two sides, but not to the extent that they were broken, and the losses were even lighter after changing the front-line operation strategy.
On the other hand, what hurts the bugs even more is that the human counterattack fleet has destroyed and severely damaged many planets, and the production capacity of suppressing bugs has not been able to reach its peak.
However, the turnaround seems to have occurred before the octopus came to the right wing of the KT cluster.
The defeat of the first battle to create chaos in the enemy's rear made the Demon King a little depressed, but the rules of the game are like this: the Demon Kings control the absolute war population, but the player's camp simulates a very complex real interaction system, and there are many restrictions when obtaining information, and there are some immoral elements called the Awakened in the middle, who are engaged in messing around, and it is very difficult to complete a campaign beautifully.
The Octopus's return journey was more difficult than before, and after a week of tossing and turning in the ice region, it had not yet entered the perigee of any right-wing star, and on several occasions it almost broke out of the right-wing star range. This time the octopus also appealed, but unfortunately the result was far from the last time, and the appeal did not change the bad luck.
Just when the fat insect king was waiting for the octopus to arrive, the insect swarm made a major discovery in the ruling area!
"What? Found a partner in the colony line? When he heard the news, his flour-like mist trembled a little.
Fat Worm-kun showed a look of doubt in his only form close to a human being, and nodded slightly: "I'm not sure yet, so I need you to bring some human experts to take a look." ”
The reason why even the Fat Worm King can't be sure is because the Demon Kings in their primary form don't have the ability to communicate with each other at all, and they need at least a certain level to participate in the so-called Great Demon King Gathering in the underwater base. For the most special ability system of the colonization system, on the contrary, human scientific observation methods can produce reliable results faster.
In order to obtain the strongest combination of abilities of the swarm, Flour did not hesitate to put down all the work at hand, and pulled out a human team to go to the place of discovery - the inner ring belt of K39 under the protection of the swarm.
The inner ring zone is a rare thing that only has small stars, and the inner ring belt is dominated by small and medium-sized rocky planets, and asteroids with insufficient mass have long been thrown out due to excessive gravitational acceleration.
There are a total of 2,230 planets in the inner ring of K39, and under normal circumstances, these rocky planets are too close to the stars to have basic organic matter, and naturally it is unlikely that they will be the birthplace of the Demon King. However, there are two planets in the inner ring belt of K39, most of which have been obscured by the planets in front of them for a long time, and the sulfur content of the atmosphere is also low.
The location of the discovery is one of the two low-temperature greenhouse stars, which is called 1086.
1086, like another planet of its kind, was once developed as a mineral star for a very short time, but the proximity to the star caused serious consequences of stellar activity and was eventually abandoned.
Although it is only a piece of history, 1086 has a different look from the natural planet, with a large number of abandoned buildings and even a few abandoned ships.
While searching for the ultimate mineable planet, the swarm discovered the 1086 anomaly, which contained a large, badly damaged landing ship with a life response that was much stronger than that of humans and other creatures.
Flour's mission is to confirm the situation on the suspicious landing ship, and the wonderful thing is that when the landing boat carrying human experts is about to land on the potholed parking field in disrepair, the life response of the landing ship is actually reduced!
Then, none of the experts who went in to check came out.
The flour left in space has no way to determine whether the expert was "eaten" or captured by the creatures inside?
Flour was a little suspicious, sent a few bugs into the atmosphere, and after determining that the ground temperature was around 200 degrees Celsius, he had a mental count.
In this way, there is no problem for the experts, as long as they know that the landing ship is indeed very suspicious, and then they can use local methods.
At the command of Flour, a bunch of phantom bugs rushed into the atmosphere with the same number of eggs.
The adult eggs dedicated to infecting the planet are immediately broken open by the adults inside, and the landing ship is surrounded and cut according to orders. The atmosphere of the inner ring planet is dominated by carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfide, and the hydrogen content is basically zero.
Well, that's how rough it is.
The reason for the flour is very good, if the other party is really a demon king, the body will definitely not be as big as them, and it is better to cut the landing ship into pieces and take it into space to further confirm. As for whether the other party can adapt to the space environment, hmph, the situation has reached this point, if you can't quickly put into space combat, even if you are teammates, it is a waste, and it doesn't matter if you live or die.
Seemingly in response, in the process of cutting the landing ship, the vitality of the landing ship flourished again, and all the life reactions gradually concentrated in a certain area.
The thing was dug up, and the swarm was equipped with a personal escape pod that could be the Demon King.
When I got to the belly of the space worm mother, it was too simple to confirm whether it was the demon king inside, and immediately a piece of essence was put in front of the escape capsule. The amount of this piece of essence is determined by flour, which is equivalent to the birth of a flying bug, and the current swarm system of the right-wing star sector can be fully absorbed by no ground bug.
The newborn demon king just can't communicate, and there is a real demon king in it.
The things in the escape pod showed their ability very well, and the entire escape pod seemed to have a lot of small short legs, and gradually leaned next to the essence and began to absorb it.
As the essence is gradually absorbed by the escape pod, the demon king with the last piece of the puzzle of the swarm appears!
The escape pod began to deform as a whole, looking as if it had changed from ordinary metal to liquid metal, and gradually reconstituted from liquid state, and before long, the body of a woman covered in a metallic luster stood where the previous essence was, and behind her there was a pile of unused metal and a small number of originals scattered on the ground.
“WOW! Looks good. ”
"Wait...... Level...... No...... "The metal woman made an electronic sound, and the composition of the sound was very strange, and it sounded like the original in the escape pod was in play, and the sound was pronounced one by one.
"That's not a problem, essence, metal, machinery, you want as much as you want." The flour seemed to be satisfied, and the white mist-like form condensed into a white kitten-like shape and flew onto the metal woman's shoulder, "But the insect mother only has a small amount of metal stock and essence, you use it first, and the rest will wait until you see your partner." ”
The demon king with the ability of the colonization system is actually very miserable, and the ability requires a lot of energy to complete the activation of metal or machinery and gain experience, but the ability to refine the essence or convert light and heat is a bit bad, basically the level of the ancient photoelectric panel, which will waste a lot of time in the incubation period, and it is faster to control the metal to devour lifeforms to obtain energy, so the previous landing ship will "eat people". When the other demon kings held the meeting, they had already guessed that most of the demon kings of the colonization system might be captured by humans during the incubation period and sliced for research.
Take advantage of the flour to bring the new demon king back, by the way.
The ability of the colonization system does not look like the ability that the Zerg should have, but this is just the appearance of the direct operation of the low-level demon king, and when the level is raised to a certain level, the demon king can produce the colonization worm, which is considered a living being, but there will be a metal shell and even electronic components, and theoretically the colonization worm can completely control any type of machinery.
There is also a second way of colonization in the colonization system, which is to strengthen the colony, which is mainly aimed at insect swarms, and can provide insects with a scientific and technological shell or even artificial (insect worker?). organs.
The demon kings are tactically focused on the first type of colonization, but the strategic focus is the second category, which can allow large combat insects such as shuttle to have more accurate long-distance strike capabilities and are no longer limited by the function of the organism, even if there is no way to directly produce shuttle worms in biological breeding suits, but once the technology has been fruitful, the amount of transformation of a shuttle is still much faster than building a ship, and there may be the possibility of batch transformation.
The ideal is very good, but the reality is very skinny.
After a difficult and slow discussion, it was discovered that the new Demon King not only needed a lot of materials and essences, but also needed at least two weeks to obtain two important abilities.
Two weeks is really not a long time in an interstellar environment, and it takes nearly two days to go back and forth from K11 to K39 without stopping, but when all kinds of human forces are concentrated in K11, a lot may happen in two weeks.
……
Humans naturally have no way of knowing that the swarm will soon increase by leaps and bounds.
The K11 Western Front Defensive Front is busy with the construction of new projects at this time, and BU plans to support laboratories and factories for K11.
The headquarters of the BU project was previously set up in the territory of the Gabri Federation, and the empire also has special science and technology stars doing related work, which is sometimes very inconvenient, and the approval of the front-line laboratory has finally been settled now.
The main work of the front-line laboratory is different from that of the rear, mainly to collect and analyze samples, especially living samples of insects, and is also responsible for the task of weapon experiments and the distribution of bonuses, so there is no need to go through a military formality in the middle.
Because of the relationship between the timeliness of living samples and the safety of the laboratory, the supporting laboratory did not choose to build a new artificial celestial body, but directly relied on the defensive fortress of the Western Front to carry out the expansion project, and the weapon tasks and bonuses were directly set up in the office situation, directly on the seat of the temporary council of the vigilante front, renamed the L1 complex of Guadamirport.
What is Pan Wen doing now?
He went to find someone to get the money.
After a long time, Pan Wen still had to find a way to get money, or was stimulated by the spread of Florin's battle example, and decided to find a way to disassemble his own oversized mecha technology for dissemination, and this could not be achieved through human technology in a short period of time, he could only pass through the small black house, and wanted to disassemble his own technology through the small black house, without a large amount of cash, there was almost no need to think about it.
Fortunately, his network at this time is also different from what it used to be, and he doesn't need to lead the team to stay in MR241 for half a year to get some money.
