Chapter 52: An Unusual Conjecture
The rescue operation on Earth had completely failed, and several people were controlled by the military without even having a chance to contact Klendasu. The trio were locked in a silent shackle that shielded their abilities, and they were locked in a specially made cell where they could not move.
As a former adventurer, Songzhumei naturally knew the appearance of the miracle badges of several people, searched them out of them, and placed them in a soundproof box in front of the three of them.
The Miracle Badge has one trait that cannot be missed, and the principle of this trait is simple, there are only two points. First, the Miracle Badge cannot be more than 100 meters away from the person, and if the distance exceeds 100 meters, it will automatically teleport to the adventurer.
Second, if the adventurer can't find the Miracle Badge, he can summon it at any time, and he can summon the Miracle Badge in front of him.
However, in this situation, the three of them were not only drugged, but also tied their hands and feet, and couldn't even move their fingers, and the miracle badge was still in front of them. In front of you is a soundproof box, inside the box is a badge, not even a meter away, even if it is summoned, it is summoned into the box. Under normal circumstances, as long as you turn around and change your posture to summon, you can easily get it, but now you can't move at all, even if you turn on the function of the badge by heart communication, you can't operate it, and the sound can't be transmitted, so it can be said that you have fallen into a dead end.
The three of them can't move now, let alone fighting, and they haven't been used as meat urinals to tell fortunes. But the strange thing is that when humans are caught, these insects must be eager to inject eggs to control them, but this time, they still retain the minds of a few people, but they just control it, but they don't do it.
The three of them are desperate now, but they can't even do basic communication, so they can only wait quietly in fear. Perhaps the only hope is that Ma Le, who has settled in a dark corner, can wake up early and rescue him.
The Earth team is in a desperate situation, and the large forces on the planet Klendasu are also having a hard time.
Three days have passed since the start of the nuclear bomb operation, and the ground directly below the ship has completely turned into a large crater of molten matter, and the lava has barely had time to solidify, and has been slowly expanding under the destruction of high temperatures and shock waves.
But in such a place of death, the bugs still come one after another. Many times, without even the attack of nuclear bombs, these bugs themselves stepped into the magma and were killed by the heat. And each time the robot is sent down, it must be specially equipped with a cryogenic device to carve out a place in the lava that is enough to stand on.
After nine nights, it is estimated that during this period, including those who were burned to death and those who were shot by the robot army at the beginning, there were at least one billion or more bugs killed. Although it is not known how many bugs there are on this planet, judging by the gradual thinning of the bug tide, the bug population has been controlled, at least in the nearby area.
"Captain, I don't think there's any point in continuing to spend here, we should look for a new starting point!" Jiuye made an observation.
When the army chose this place as a drop-off point for soldiers, it was not just random. After scanning and surveying, as well as the impact of the last wormhole operation on the distribution of insects, the area with the densest wormhole and the highest insect division was finally selected and the army was deployed. That's why in just twenty or thirty hours, more than one billion bugs were attracted to "send them to death". However, now, the density of insects in this area has been greatly reduced, and it will take too long for insects from other areas to come from thousands of kilometers away, so it is better to move the spaceship, select a new drop point, and start cleaning up again.
Deng Yunlong nodded: "This generation is almost cleaned up, nine nights, look for a new drop point, and continue to act!" ”
The spaceship moved slowly, around the Klendasu planetary vehicle, and soon came to the other side of the planet, found a relatively dense site of wormholes, and dropped a mechanical force to attract insects.
The robot released a new signal, and the nearby insects were all attracted to it, and soon gathered into a huge swarm, and Deng Yunlong prepared to drop a nuclear bomb.
"Wait!" At this moment, the Deadwood Daoist and the Persian Cat walked into the cab and stopped Deng Yunlong's actions.
Deng Yunlong turned around: "Is there any problem?" ”
Jiuye said on the side: "If you are worried that increasing the explosion point will exacerbate the deterioration of the planet's environment, don't worry. Although these are high-yield nuclear bombs, the total number of them is less than 200, and if they are dropped intensively, they will not be enough to change the overall environment of a planet. ”
"Not this problem...... Persian cat shook his head, "just now when the spaceship was flying around the planet, we noticed a strange phenomenon!" ”
As she spoke, she called up the hologram of the planet Klendasu on the operation console in the cab, raised her hand and pointed: "This is the route we just passed, and at the same time, it is also the place where the military spacecraft dropped soldiers during the last wormhole operation.
This time, the army carrying millions of troops was finally scrapped in the hands of Ma Le. However, the space fleet of the last wormhole operation was destroyed by the bugs when it was being dropped close to the ground. However, many of the warships fell to the ground, and many made emergency landings, and finally landed and were besieged by insects and killed the pilot. In short, the area pointed to by the Persian cat should have a large number of warship wreckage.
"When we passed by just now, we didn't see those wreckage!" The Persian cat frowned: "Someone...... It doesn't even have to be people, moved them away! ”
"You mean, you are tens of thousands of meters in the air and you see the wreckage hundreds of meters long on the ground missing?" Deng Yunlong asked with a frown.
The Persian cat shook his head: "There is detection equipment on this ship, and when I just passed by, I deliberately probed it, and it did disappear, and this also confirmed one of my conjectures!" ”
"What conjecture?"
"Those so-called half-beast insects also have wisdom themselves!"
Hearing the conclusion of the Persian cat, Deng Yunlong was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Little sister, you are thinking too much...... We've fought those half-beasts more than once, and where have they ever shown the slightest bit of intelligence? Saying that, Deng Yunlong noticed the solemn expression of the dead wood, his expression froze, and he was slightly puzzled: "Brother the dead wood, do you also believe this child's words?" ”
Deadwood sighed, "She convinced me!" As he spoke, he looked down at the Persian cat beside him.
Hearing him say this, Deng Yunlong also put away his joking mentality: "I want to hear it!" ”
The Persian cat cleared his throat: "To make a long story short, I think there are two reasons why the half-beast insects are intelligent, first, according to the information from the earth, a considerable number of humans have been parasitized by insects and have lost their sense of self. Although in terms of performance, these human beings retain their wisdom, but from the point of view of their loss of emotion and autonomy, in fact, they are just playing their original social roles, mechanically completing seemingly complex work, after being parasitized, they have no creative and divergent thinking of human beings, it can be said that they are not independent beings, but a group of tools that are easy to use for the master. It can be said that under the control of the master, or brain worm, there are actually restrictions on the intelligence of the subordinate insects themselves! ”
Deng Yunlong nodded when he heard this: "What about the second?" ”
"Second, it's that brain worm Donald! According to our captain, that guy is actually a halfworm born from the real Donald parasitic by Seven, which is theoretically no different from the way the half-beast worm was born. However, this Donald has gained complete intelligence, and even his mental power has reached a higher level. This shows that half-beasts have the potential to gain a high IQ! ”
"Based on the above two points, I think that the vast majority of half-beasts have relatively high intelligence. As for the primitive bestiality that is manifested, it is actually the appearance formed by the control of brain worms. Now that the brain worms are dead, their sense of self is likely to be revived and their original intelligence will be restored! ”
Deng Yunlong pondered for a moment: "Donald should have received the transformation himself, which is an example......
The Persian cat shrugged his shoulders: "So he became a brain worm, and the other half-beasts were under his control." Moreover, the inference I am talking about is not groundless, don't you notice, from yesterday to now, there are countless ordinary insects, rushing in accordance with Bell's orders, but among them, there is hardly a half-beast worm that has been seen......"
Deng Yunlong looked at Jiuye, and the latter shook his head: "I really didn't find ......"
Deng Yunlong frowned, he was also faintly aware of this, but subconsciously thought that it should be too many insects to distinguish it, and now it seems that it ......
"You mean to say that these half-beasts have awakened to their self-consciousness and are not attacking as Bell tells them to do. And they...... Go and tow away the wreckage of the ship? ”
"It's okay if it's just towed away......," the Persian cat frowned and said, "I'm afraid that those newborn half-beast insects have awakened the memories of the human period, and there are quite a few engineers and pilots who died on Klendasu during Operation Wormhole!" ”
"This ...... It's impossible......" Deng Yunlong also realized the seriousness of the problem, although normally speaking, this possibility is very low, but in the urban warfare system, anything is possible......
"Nine nights, save ammunition, pull up the height, there is still a lot of time, observe the situation, if necessary, carry out carpet bombing, strive to destroy the mission conditions, you can get out of the world!"
"With less than a hundred nuclear bombs, it's ......probably hard to completely destroy the ecology of a planet," Jiu Ye said, his hands already giving commands, maneuvering the spaceship to keep rising.
The Persian cat had an idea, and immediately called Ma Le's communication, and at the same time reminded Deng Yunlong: "We can ask for help from the earth, and let the people over there use the public space to provide us with nuclear bombs!" ”
Deng Yunlong and Deadwood's eyes lit up: "Good idea!" He also hurriedly began to contact the Earth side.
