Chapter 14: The Gigus Worm

Qin Lun's words gave everyone a sense of clarity that cleared the clouds, in fact, after they entered this world, they had always felt constrained, but because the time was too short, they couldn't find out the real reason.

Observing the expressions of the apostles, Qin Lun showed a hint of a smile. These people are very smart, even if they don't have him to remind them, it is estimated that they will wake up in two days, but it will be a little late by then.

Don't look at the starry sky, this time they gave them fifty days to stay, but in this vast cosmic space where the distance is measured in light years, it really can't be much. As far as the guidance task received by Qin Lun is concerned, it will take at least ten days.

Robin and the others would have been stuck with the arrangement of the Guise people before, and it was also related to this guidance task. The content of the mission is strange, and it only asks the Apostle team to help Faith establish a forward base at the edge of the Scorpio system.

Of course, this forward base was not chosen randomly, but had something to do with Jannamer, whom Faith was about to attack. Whether it's killing the Jannamer or reclaiming the Giess system, Faith needs a suitable remedial station.

Qin Lun's patrol team, most of the apostles have spent many times in the mission world, and have more or less mastered some rules of guiding missions. The purpose of Starry Sky to guide the mission is generally to involve the Apostle in a certain main story, rather than being troubled by other complicated side plots in the mission world.

However, there are some differences in the gospel world, the first is that there is no so-called historical plot in this mission world. All that is about to happen is unknown, especially with the interference of the apostles, and the calculation of the starry sky is prone to deviations.

The second is that this task is a bit of a compliment, because even without this mission, the Faith and the Gies would have played a leading role in taking on Jannamer. According to their own plans, with or without the involvement of the apostles, they all need to build a forward base.

Regarding this strange guidance task, Robin and Qin Lun have discussed. Due to the lack of intelligence, the two can only temporarily believe that the unknown planet that Captain Marquez has drawn out as a base may have some clues, and only when they get there can the main quest be triggered.

"Captain Robin, everyone, Captain Marquez, please go to the Biochemical Research Institute!" While the Apostles were discussing for a while, Winter Moon, the highest-ranking officer corps in the Guise Beauty, came to the parlor where they were and brought instructions from the captain of the USS Faith.

"Dongyue, have those big spider-like cosmic creatures been repelled?" Robin asked curiously as he followed the winter moon.

"We've wiped them out, but ...... The situation is a bit special, so let's wait for Captain Marquez to explain it to you personally! Dongyue's expression looked a little solemn, and the sensitive Robin only frowned, sensing something, so he didn't ask anymore.

Through the magnetic rail car, Qin Lun and the others returned to the Institute of Biochemistry. However, although this was the place where the apostles first came, they did not look closely. This time, with the help of the winter moon, the apostles entered the real rooms on all floors of the research institute again, and the apostles were immediately eye-opening.

The middle and upper levels of this biochemical research institute belong to the hospital, and until the middle and lower levels are the biochemical research institutes. After Qin Lun and the others entered the real yàn room on each floor, they saw all kinds of strange-shaped cosmic creatures here, most of these cosmic creatures were huge, and there were some young creatures among them.

According to Dongyue, it was not that Faith couldn't catch the mature body, but because the mature body was too big to be brought into the Faith body.

At the lowest floor of the Biochemical Research Institute, which is equivalent to the floor of the research center, Qin Lun and the others finally saw the clones of the Jisi Angels other than them.

The biochemical civilization of the Jisi people is extremely developed, and these clones did not use the medical amniotic fluid tank that Qin Lun was familiar with. Instead, it was suspended in the air, surrounded by a mass of colored sand-like substance.

According to Fuyutsuki, this fine sand with its enchanting brilliance is an ore from the core of the planet, which has a catalytic effect on the clones of the Gise Angels, allowing them to grow into mature bodies in just a few days.

However, this star sand is very precious and not found on all planets. With the exception of clone samples for research, Faith does not keep Angel clones in stock at all times.

Although the Apostles had seen many intelligent beings in non-human form in the Devil's Horn, none of them were as wonderful as those of the cosmic creatures. The physiological structure of many cosmic creatures is different from that of planetary organisms, and they do not even have the so-called difference between internal organs and hands and feet, and the common feature of most cosmic creatures is that they can carry out direct photosynthesis.

The Gies refer to cosmic creatures that rely mainly on photosynthesis to survive as harmless cosmic groups, while cosmic creatures that rely on devouring other life energy to maintain their activities are divided into seven-level predatory groups according to their harmful power.

Earth humans, Guise humans, and humanoids born from other life stars are basically predatory groups.

However, because this kind of human plundering of other cosmic life forms is relatively small, and their science and technology will develop to the cosmic age, they will inevitably pursue recyclable resources because of the lack of planetary resources, so the predation level is not high, and the highest level will not exceed the third level.

But like Jannamer, who the Guise people are encountering now, it's a different story entirely. Jannamer was born in a cosmic vacuum, and life forms are completely different from those of human beings. They instinctively prey on other life energies as their own nourishment, and are therefore inherently predatory groups up to level seven.

"Are all the creatures in the cosmic space of birth a predator group that survive by passing through the energies of other lifeforms?" Poppy, the youngest of the apostles, heard this and couldn't help but ask Dongyue.

In fact, according to Dongyue, the Wind Elemental Clan also has similarities with Jannamer, except that their birthplace has changed from a cosmic vacuum to a wind layer with a rich wind element.

"Not necessarily, there are some cosmic beings who do not feed on life energy, but directly on the energy of the planet's core. Although these creatures do not eat people, the planet on which humans live has lost light and heat, so what is the difference between that and extinction? Dongyue said with a wry smile.

"This kind of large-sized cosmic creature must have some humanoid intelligence, right? Can't you communicate with them? There are so many planets in the universe that they can keep them away from the life stars! Sava interjected.

"Well, after we Gisi entered the Second Universe Age, we have tried to do this, but all of them ended in failure." Dongyue frowned, recalling the books and materials she had read.

"The thinking of cosmic beings is completely different from that of us who were born on the surface of planets." Dongyue sighed and said, "According to historical records, at the beginning of the Second Cosmic Era, we Giss people had an interstellar exploration ship that met a cosmic creature that could communicate.

At that time, they were in a strange star field, swallowed by a nebula with a diameter of thousands of light-years. The Guise scientists were already dead, but one of them discovered that the nebula was emitting radiation waves of a defined frequency all the time.

They tried to resonate with this radiation wave, and it turned out that this nebula was a cosmic intelligent life called the star spectrum. Their luck was good, the star spectrum belonged to the mildest cosmic life, and after some communication, they were released from their bodies.

While in the astral spectrum, the Guise scientists have communicated with it in many ways, including the topic of cosmic creatures devouring planets and planetary life. According to the spectrum, it does not consider predatory cosmic beings to be evil.

When cosmic beings are born from the cosmic vacuum, they will produce an instinct that is engraved in the depths of consciousness. Unlike the instinct of most planetary creatures, the instinct of humans is to reproduce life and civilization, while the instinct of cosmic creatures is to maintain balance in the universe in which they live. ”

Listening to Dongyue's explanation of this, most of the apostles had a vague guess. Just like the life stars, most life stars are accompanied by the development of human civilization, and the planets do not get better, but will accelerate aging and become desolate.

When humans walked out of the star of life that originally gave birth to them, it was also because the planet was dying at an accelerated pace. The spread of human civilization actually means the depletion of star fields and galaxy resources.

To give the most realistic example, the star sand used by the Guise people to cultivate angel clones is the core of the planet that is collected, and everyone does not need to be introduced by Dongyue, everyone knows what will happen to the star core of those planets after losing these star sands.

"Now you understand, from the point of view of the star spectrum, the pest of the universe is not Jannamer, but us humans." Dongyue's face was a rare little melancholy, "Once the planetary life in a certain star field enters the second universe era, and collects galaxy resources on a large scale, and the galaxy is exhausted too quickly, it will attract cosmic beings similar to Jannamer. ”

"Don't worry too much, since the universe has given human beings the right to reproduce, then we have a reason to exist. Jannamer is not so much maintaining the balance of the universe as it is a link in the biological chain. Robin smiled and patted Winter Moon, "There is no good or evil in our war with Jannamer, just two lives fighting for the right to live. ”

"Robin, do you think so too!" Dongyue narrowed her eyes happily, and Robin's words made the beautiful adjutant feel good.

……

"Guys, you're here!" When they entered a large hall, they saw Marquez standing on the observation platform.

The captain of the Faith had met with them a few times in the previous two days, but the big man in charge of the Faith was very busy, and after a few hurried greetings, he went back to work, and this was the first time he had summoned the apostles for the sake of work.

"Captain Marquez! This is ......" Robin approached the observatory and saw that they were separated by a thick glass wall in front of them, and on the other side of the hall, there were more than a dozen large metal platforms.

There were a number of busy Guise scientists on the metal platform, and on them were a dozen or so cosmic creatures that had fought with them before, but now they were corpses.

The apostles looked at the big spiders and wondered, they didn't expect that the Guise not only killed these things, but also got the corpses on the Faith.

"Captain Márquez, are you familiar with this cosmic creature?" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he asked vigilantly.

"Guys, we're in trouble!" Captain Márquez pondered for a while, and finally said in a deep voice, "These things are actually not cosmic creatures, but planetary life, called the Gigus Zerg, which was once also an intelligent life in the Gith Galaxy. ”
