Chapter 363: The World of Bugs (1)
"Shhh …… Be quiet, be careful of being heard by bugs" Johnny glared at Sergeant Simon behind him dissatisfied, telling him to turn down the sound of the music. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although this place is still hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the edge of the insect swarm, and there is no sound in space, who knows how these abominable bugs communicate in the universe. If they had recruited all the bugs because of Simon's good fortune, they would have thrown them both into the fusion reactor.
The reconnaissance had begun fifteen hours earlier. The reconnaissance fleet that turned on quantum stealth quietly projected two thousand Xingtian III captain planes into space billions of kilometers away from the swarm, and then relied on the latter's own power to slowly approach the edge of the swarm. Although the distance of more than a billion kilometers is only a moment's work for the Xingtian Type Three, during this time, Johnny and they are simply crawling at turtle speed.
First of all, he slowly accelerated away from the swarm, and by the time he increased the speed to one-third of the speed of light, more than ten hours had passed. All the scout mechs then turned off their engines and sailed the next distance by inertia. Many people get impatient and start looking for all sorts of activities to distract themselves.
Simon listens to music to relieve his stress. But his fun Johnny really doesn't dare to compliment, it's all old songs, I don't know where these old songs come from, but it sounds like Chinese. Johnny didn't know exactly what the song meant, but it sounded weird.
"Whew...... Don't be so sensitive, okay, through the space shield, even if we fire a cannon inside, there won't be any anomalies outside" Simon pouted angrily, but still stopped the music.
“……”
"What do you think the Zerg looks like? Is it similar to what we encountered at Trials Star? I heard that the alien on the trial star is the sub-zerg combat soldier put on the top" It didn't take long for Simon to start talking again. Space is lonely in the darkness and silence of space, especially when there are only two people within billions of kilometers around it. It's good that the two of them haven't been forced to go insane until now.
"I don't know, but it would be very different. You think, the aliens on the trial stars are all creatures on the planet, and there are very few aliens that can fly. And the big guys in front of us who can fly in space must be very different. I think these zergs are like the crustaceans depicted in science fiction movies.
After all, crustaceans are the most suitable for surviving in space, as long as the exoskeleton is strengthened and the metabolic pathway is slightly changed, this creature has great resistance to stress, and there is nothing impossible to survive in space" Johnny thought about it for a while and gave the answer he thought was correct.
"Shh......h Don't talk from now on, look at the front" Johnny, who was staring ahead, noticed something and began to warn. There are still tens of thousands of kilometers away from the main force of the insect swarm, and nothing abnormal was found through the optical telescope before, but after getting closer, I found that there were still many Zerg fighters patrolling around the insect swarm.
This is a pyramid-shaped zerg, about fifty-five meters in size, not very large, about the size of an assault ship. At the top of the pyramid there are five feet with a length of about 10 meters, which are very flexible and can rotate freely. As he got closer, Johnny was surprised to find that the legs also functioned as propulsion engines.
The pale green energy tail flame that erupted from the foot propelled the pyramid-shaped insect to move nimbly. By controlling the direction of the five legs and the opening and closing of the engine jets, the bugs can move quickly in either direction without turning around, which is much more agile than the fleet's individual fighters.
And through scanning, it was found that the center of the foot was hollow, and the inside was filled with a concentrated flow of energy, and the hollow pipe led all the way to the energy core of the insect. It seems that these five legs are not just thrusters, but also the barrels of the five energy cannons.
However, since they haven't studied it carefully, they are not very sure what exactly is going onJohnny. The two hurriedly scanned the basic information of the insect, and then the Xingtian mecha quickly flew over the side of the insect.
"God forbid, not to be discovered" After leaving the range of the pyramid worm, Johnny and Simon both breathed a sigh of relief, it had been a long time since they had encountered such an exciting thing. Passing by the enemy's side, this kind of thing seems to be encountered not much in the vanguard regiment.
Since encountering the first Pyramid Zerg Combatant, Johnny and Simon have encountered several more Zerg Combatants. Most of them are far away from a distance, and there are very few thrilling situations like the first one. Once, the two of them passed by a ball with a diameter of tens of kilometers, and suddenly a pyramid-shaped Zerg fighter flew out of the ball, almost hitting their heads head-on, but the two of them were scared enough.
It was the semi-intelligent assistant program carried by the mecha itself that independently controlled the emergency orbit change of the mecha to avoid it from the edge of the combat soldier. After that, the two of them began to consciously stay away from the Zerg they encountered, no longer approaching to reconnoitre, but just scanning things from a distance of thousands of meters.
The spherical Zerg with a diameter of tens of kilometers was the largest Zerg that the two had encountered along the way. Johnny believes that it is a Zerg aerospace carrier, and the pyramid-shaped combat soldier is a single fighter of the Zerg, and this Zerg mothership is mainly responsible for the peripheral vigilance mission.
However, Simon did not jump to conclusions, after all, there are still millions of kilometers away from the insect swarm, and who knows what kind of insects will be encountered inside. I don't know if these bugs I just met are doing the same job as Simon and the others, and they are all scouts.
After passing through the first Zerg cordon, Simon and Johnny encountered a swarm of the same size several more times. The only difference is that the spherical hives encountered are getting bigger and bigger, and by the time they get to the edge of the swarm, the largest spherical hives have reached a terrifying diameter of 100,000 kilometers. If it weren't for the fact that the inside of these hives were all covered in thick passages in all directions, and the true density was much lower, Johnny and Simon would have even thought they had encountered a giant planet.
From the moment they passed through the first Zerg warning line, Johnny and Simon's mechs began to slowly slow down. By the time the mech approached the edge of the Zerg, its speed had been reduced to 5,000 kilometers per second. That's already a slow pace for spaceflight.
But these are very necessary, and the interior of the swarm is simply a busy society. Just touching the periphery, Johnny and Simon were dazzled by the hustle and bustle inside. Countless insects of different sizes, large and small, of different shapes shuttle back and forth like hovercars in the large space city in the Golden Crow fleet, and if you look at it from a distance, it is simply a busy and prosperous society, but it is insects.
"We're here!" (To be continued.) )
