944 Slow knife kills
On March 2, 2219, the Provenance flew to Geimler, and the battleship appeared directly above the planet about five light-seconds.
The optical system immediately captures images of the North Pole or the South Pole, half hidden in darkness and the other half bathed in light, a rare sight to see in a polar city.
The most interesting thing is that the Atlanteans built a magnificent building on the line of morning and dusk at the turn of day and night, and at the inclination of Geimler's orbit, this building is always half in night and the other half in day.
However, due to the scattering of the atmosphere, the half of the darkness is not really night, but similar to the scene at dusk.
The thought of enlarging the image flashed through Ye Fei's mind, and the high-altitude image on the screen quickly expanded, until the pedestrians who could see the ground clearly did not freeze the frame.
I saw that in the city near the pole, pedestrians in loose robes were gathering together in twos and threes, lazily wandering around.
Scissors couldn't help but blow a loud hooligan whistle: "Finally saw someone." ”
"Didn't they get an order to evacuate?" The black bear asked in surprise.
"Who knows." Ye Fei said, "Maybe we didn't attack here last time, and they think it won't be okay this time...... Jiang Xue, give Lao Xiong a chance. ”
"Roger!" Jiang Xue piloted the battleship to Gimler, making a huge arc and passing over the polar regions of the planet.
The Atlanteans on the Gimler immediately discovered the whereabouts of the Provenance, and the entire planet immediately issued an air raid alarm, and the originally leisurely flow of people on the street rushed into the buildings on the street like rats that had encountered cats. In the blink of an eye, the entire planet was in full swing.
However, Ye Fei did not find any traces of battleships or interstellar cannons, so he did not abolish the original plan.
When the provenance was about to fly over the polar regions, two slender hatches quietly opened under the belly of the ship, and in the compartments inside the doors grew thick bright red fleshy vines, which had no leaves on the vines, but the blue veins under the epidermis were faintly visible.
The vines clinged to the smooth bulkheads with fleshy suckers, and on the vines hung irregularly clusters of grapes, each about seventy centimeters in diameter.
The battleship flew past Gimler's low-earth orbit, and it was at this moment that the black bear gave the order to throw. The "grapes" on the vines fell out of the cabin like cluster bombs dropped during carpet bombing. Slowly and lightly flew close to the atmosphere of the Geimler.
A few minutes later, the first fruit fell into the atmosphere, followed by a large number of fruits.
These "grape" shaped fruits. In fact, the provenance belongs to the sclerocyst that grows out of half of the ship's hull. The cyst is a high-energy nutrient secreted by the provenance itself. If bacteria, viruses, or any other microorganism are implanted into it, the microorganisms can be cultivated in large quantities.
When the cyst is filled with microorganisms, the provenance also secretes an inhibitory substance. It causes the microorganisms in the cyst to fall into "sleep".
The sac itself accounts for only one-third of the total volume, and the outside of the capsule is a high-efficiency thermal layer, and the outer layer of the thermal insulation layer is a hard shell.
When falling into the atmosphere, the hard shell will burn up in the friction with the atmosphere, but the thermal insulation layer can ensure that the environment inside the sac is stable, and it will not crack until it touches the ground.
Finally, there is also a small organ at the bottom of the shell of the cyst that can sense the gravity of the planet, which is like a seeker on a missile, once it senses the gravity of the planet, it will guide the cyst to actively move up.
To be honest, the structure of this thing is much more complex than a bomb or something, that is, genetic engineering can be done once and for all, otherwise even the deep-pocketed Atlanteans would go bankrupt for making this thing.
After completing the launch of one pole, the Provenance flew half a circle around Geimler, reached the sky above the other pole, concocted like a tide, and then immediately left.
The sudden appearance of a large number of meteors in the sky attracted the attention of the Atlanteans, and the global anti-aircraft fire immediately opened fire, destroying the fungus sacs one by one in mid-air.
The sacs were too scattered, otherwise the disintegrating beam from the anti-aircraft fire would never have hit only one sac per shot.
Also because the distribution range is too scattered, the Atlanteans give priority to shooting the "shooting stars" that land in the city, and those that land in the wilderness can only be put away for the time being.
Asteroid tactics are not only played by humans, but also by the Atlanteans, so the Atlanteans on Geimler invariably mistook the falling sac as an asteroid.
The Provenance scattered nearly 6,000 cysts at the poles of Geimler, and in the end, no more than 200 cysts successfully landed, and the same number of cysts were swept away by the decomposition beam, and the remaining half collapsed directly in midair.
Storm fungi get their name because they have many things in common with fungi, such as parasitic growth and cell reproduction.
The cyst is filled with the cells of the storm fungus, and the decomposition beam does not carry high heat like a laser, and as long as there is a little bit left in the central third of the cyst, the cells that are still active will disperse with the wind.
The vast majority of the "meteors" in the sky were destroyed, and the Atlanteans, who were still on guard, waited for a long time and did not wait for the second wave of attacks, and more importantly, there was no trace of the enemy ship outside the planet, and they thought that they had successfully repelled the enemy's attack, so they lifted the alarm.
After just a few days, the sac was occupied by a large area of storm fungus, and from the air, it looked like the ground had grown one ugly age spot after another.
It was only at this time that Atlantis understood what was really happening and immediately mobilized all the manpower and material resources of the world to begin to remove the storm fungus.
I have to say that the methods of the Atlanteans are much stronger than those of humans, and when they disintegrate the beam, they will be completely cleared immediately, and there will be no tail left.
But they can only clear the obvious landing spots, and those scells that are scattered in the wind have not yet grown, and they cannot be found without the use of microscopic equipment; Second, the dispersal range is too wide, and some of the spores even fly into the middle and low latitudes of high temperatures before they begin to reproduce.
As a result, the people of the Qamlean Atlanteans had to wage a long and arduous war against the storm fungus.
Originally produced in the Geimler, the high-temperature creatures were exported to the whole of Atlantis and were famous for their ornamental creatures, but after being attacked by storm fungi, the developed ornamental biology industry had to be suspended, and the prosperous planet, which was originally one of the nine stars of Jacques, came to an end.
