Chapter 275: Prologue and Curtain Call (I)

December 2091.

With the effective implementation of Robin's combat strategy, the Imperial Expeditionary Force has initially gained a firm foothold in the Big Magellanic Nebula, and a series of military construction and scientific research construction have been put into operation, which marks that the empire has officially entered a new era, and mankind's concept of the universe has also begun to gradually begin to change to the perspective of cosmic life under Robin's intentional guidance, which makes human beings no longer simply regard themselves as the pioneers of the universe, but re-examine this vast starry sky from the perspective of cosmic resource predators.

In the old days, Robin, who proposed this concept, would have been attacked by radical environmentalists, but in this day and age, no one thinks that Robin's concept is wrong.

The environment is changing, the times are changing, and the concept of human beings is naturally changing unconsciously.

In the old era, when more than six billion people lived on a planet that had been parasitized by the earth's creatures for billions of years, the limited natural resources made the human beings trapped on the earth have to consider environmental protection and have to consider preserving the limited earth's resources as much as possible. For this reason, at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, the countries of the old era even had to stop their industrial development, jointly limit heat emissions, and directly prohibit the research of some high-end scientific and technological projects that cause great environmental pollution......

For a long time, environmental protection has become the biggest obstacle to the continued progress of human civilization. Due to the lack of confidence to break free from the earth and step into the universe, the scientific and technological civilization of mankind has not made any progress in the past forty years. It was not until the appearance of Hervey that he gave mankind the confidence to conquer the universe, and the human beings trapped in the cage of the earth were able to fight to break free and stride towards the vast universe.

As a result, human beings who have gone out of the earth have seen an extremely vast world.

After all, the Milky Way alone has nearly 200 billion stars, and if a star is a star system, then it means that the Milky Way has more than a trillion planets of all kinds. And that's not even counting the giant bodies that hide in the asteroid belt that are no less individual than planets, and the moons of large individuals.

In the universe, there are countless large groups of galaxies like the Milky Way, and in the places where human beings are currently within reach, there are three large asterisms that are no less large than the Milky Way in scale.

For the first time in history, human beings feel that the originally limited resources of the planet are countless times more than the number of human beings themselves. It's like a beggar who suddenly has a mountain of gold, and while reaping a huge surprise, he is also shocked by this sudden wealth.

It is impossible for a beggar who suddenly reaps billions of fortunes to live like a real rich man, and this is fully reflected in the first and second generations of new human beings.

The habit of coming from the earth has made them more generous all of a sudden, and they still retain the original careful budget, they carefully build each planet, and build these planets with the concept of the age of the earth.

Until the invasion of the cosmic life of the Insats, until the discovery that the planet they had carefully built would be easily wiped out at the hands of the Insats. Mankind has only woken up from the habitual thinking of this biological overlord, and has gradually come to understand that the universe is not the earth, and they are not the only masters in the universe. In this world full of competition for survival, human beings have no time to stop and carefully build their own homes, only by using the fastest speed to make themselves stronger, plundering more resources can it be possible to defeat those strong enemies and fight for more living space for themselves.

Therefore, Robin's strategy led the human race to the right path, and pushed the human race as a whole to run wildly, just like the ape-man who just stepped out of the woods and ran to the grassland five million years ago, surrounded by natural predators.

However, there will always be countless branches along the evolutionary path, and perhaps a simple change can push the same species to two completely different extremes.

Just as hundreds of millions of years ago, when a small creature resembling a mouse evolved out of the category of reptiles, the reptiles, who were the overlords of the earth at that time, could never believe that one day in the future, this little creature that could only be regarded as prey would become the master of the world. And these little guys probably never imagined that in the future era, their offspring will become completely different, and even evolve cats, which are natural predators that hunt rats for food.

If humanity is now compared to the little mouse destined to dominate the world, then by now new branches have begun to emerge.

At the end of December 2091, a report was delivered to Robin.

"What is this?"

At the headquarters of the Quinnir System Space Fortress, Robin took a cursory look at this academic research report, which was as many as hundreds of thousands of words, and vaguely saw some clues from it, but the horror in his heart made him not dare to believe that it was true.

"When we were reaching into the Hudson system, we had a small contact with the forces of the Iron Rhine, which were also entering there. During this encounter, we captured several of the more unusual captives, and Leona made significant discoveries in her physical studies of them. Xia Zuo sat opposite Robin with a solemn face, and said in a strange tone: "Robin, we are in big trouble, Dan Ding that madman has created a terrible thing, he will bring a nightmare......"

"Yes...... Is it the parasitism of the Insats? Robin's lips trembled and he asked.

The parasitic nature of the Insats has always been Robin's greatest concern. He feared that direct contact with the Insats would lead to the parasitism of the Insats on the human body, and if this really happened, then the so-called fight against the Insats would become a great irony, because it would directly accelerate the invasion of the Insats into the galaxy, and even the entire human society would be greatly disturbed.

Two years ago, however, Leona had rejected this possibility in her in-depth study of the Insats. Because she found that the parasitism and control of the Insats came from the control of the biological nerve center and brain, it was relatively easy for the Insats to parasitize arthropods. This is because the brain and nervous system of arthropods are relatively simple, which is convenient for the parasitism and manipulation of the Insats, and their body structure and the innate use of chemical elements by arthropods are also very suitable for the Insats to develop biomechanical technology, which is the best choice for them to choose parasitic targets. When the parasite is changed to reptiles, mammals and other vertebrates with complex body structures, because the vertebrates themselves have a complete nerve center with the vertebral as the carrier, their physiological structure is not easy to parasitize and control the Insats. As the most evolutionary peak of vertebrates, in addition to a complete nervous system and complex physiological structure, humans also have a more complex brain than the Insat, which makes it impossible for the Insats to parasitize on humans, even if they are forcibly parasitized, it can only directly lead to the death of humans, and the Insats have no way to manipulate a human corpse.

This academic conclusion Leona came to two years ago really relieved Robin, but he never imagined that this academic obstacle, which was impossible to be broken by the Insats, would be overcome by humans themselves because of the appearance of Dantin.

In the virus expert Yacob? In Fren's frenzied research, he intercepted some of the genes of the Insats, combined with the original ciliate genes, to create a new type of virus... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
