Chapter 408: Purification
The blazing white flames behind the chrono engine gradually subsided, and the Imperial fleet finally approached the planet that Renault had marked for us, just as he introduced, there was a sun that was on the verge of death, its light was not yet dimmed, but it was only a reflection of the imminent depletion of nuclear fuel, and in our exploration, the core of this star, which was unsteadily releasing light and heat, was filled with liquid hot iron, and their content was so alarming that it had almost reached the limit of what a star could tolerate, I'm afraid that in a few hundred years, the nuclear fuel, hydrogen and helium contained in it will be exhausted, and in a series of reactions, all of them will be reduced to this metal element that is completely unable to release any nuclear energy, and then the entire star will collapse due to the loss of internal power, and finally explode into a red giant due to the sharp increase in internal pressure and temperature, and this little galaxy will also be wiped out and returned to its mother's belly - theoretically, I don't mean this at all vulgar.
There are only three planets in total, less than the famous cosmic poor solar system, its first planet and second planet are all too close to the sun, and the surface temperature is often as high as hundreds of degrees, my sister thinks that such direct sunlight will seriously damage her skin, so they were thrown out of our consideration at the first time, and the average planet-wide earthquake on it every thirty seconds does not quite meet the building code in IS9001 (if this thing exists), from this point Renault did not lie to us, Its third planet is much better in comparison.
Although the purple and black planet really doesn't look very beautiful.
We've arrived on the bridge of the flagship at the moment, and the huge holographic projection here looks much more powerful than the star map in the operations laboratory.
"Kid Dad, I've found some life reactions on the surface of the target planet."
Just as I was about to give the order to moor the fleet into orbit, the sound of bubbles suddenly sounded on the bridge, and I almost fell from this place on the spot.
Renault, who had been standing next to me and turned into a passerby, turned his head curiously, his unshaven face bearing the afterglow of having just recovered from alcohol: "I may have heard it wrong, but ...... That was your wife? What a strange way of speaking......"
Before I could answer, Bubbles had taken over the giant holographic projection under the bridge, and an image of a little girl suspended in a crystal prism immediately appeared in front of us, and behind this little girl, there were several identical crystal prisms, each with a Lori in it, blinking at this side with big innocent eyes.
"Hello, human, I'm the core computer here," Bubbles' voice echoed, "and if you have any doubts about my relationship with my family, I'll throw you in the reactor." ”
I patted Renault on the shoulder, whose expression suddenly became frightened, and whispered comfort: "Don't think about it, she is definitely serious." ”
After successfully making Renault's expression even more terrifying, I looked up and asked the child's mother, who had been magnified to more than seven meters tall, "Life reaction?" What is it? ”
It is said that the universe is desolate, and it took so long for human scientists to find other creatures in space.
"Zerg," as the bubble's voice fell, the whole projection image was enlarged, revealing the scene on the surface of the planet, and the sight was full of disgusting bugs and their wriggling organs-like "buildings", "They have covered nearly two-thirds of the planet, and the sticky moss makes the surface of the entire planet purple and black, and it is best to empty these things before landing, but fortunately, those are low-level bugs, and conventional genocidal weapons can kill them." ”
Before we could react, Renault gasped and clenched his fists with a clattering sound of bones rubbing.
"How could these bugs appear here," the uncle, who had been dealing with the Zerg for half his life, said in a very serious tone, "This planet doesn't have many resources at all, and it doesn't have the value of occupation at all. ”
"The other party may have arrived by accident," Bubble kept switching between the images on the holographic projection, showing me those disgusting guys from all angles, "The swarms covered on this planet are basically low-level units, only one brain worm is leading them, the astral incendiary bomb can destroy all low-level zerg in an instant, and that brain worm will not have any resistance after the explosion." ”
"Prepare EP-03," Sandora decided, without much thought, "and there's no need to devise any tactics for this kind of target. ”
Just as we pushed the deadly astral incendiary bomb into the launch platform and were about to ignite and launch, a burst of sirens suddenly sounded across the bridge, and the mechanically synthesized electronic female voice continued to broadcast: "Warning warning detected a gravitational anomaly eruption, there is an unknown unit about to jump through the time and space, and an unknown unit is about to jump through the time and space The other party's identity is unknown, and the current is the best time to intercept." ”
Pandora, who had been a doll silently for a long time next to her, immediately revived at this time, rushed up and grabbed my arm and shook it: "Brother, if you suddenly activate the gravitational trap at this time, you can definitely bury the other party in the runaway space storm."
Can you stop saying such chilling things with this *** coquettish attitude?
I decisively stopped the "Imperial Admiral" from intercepting it, and led tens of thousands of warships to watch another much smaller fleet leap out of not far from us.
It was a group of space warships with a completely different style from human ships, and even less likely to be similar to the Xiling spaceship, they all had a streamlined overall design, the hull was swam with the halo of energy shields, and crystal-like functional structures could be seen everywhere - this was a bit similar to our ships, and from the first impression, these new ships were far more advanced than Renault's fleet. At least the kind of energy shield that swept across the hull at any time was no match for the layers of heavy armor of Renault's Hyperion.
The scale of the new fleet is not large, excluding the drones that fly up and down the mother ship like moths, there are only about a hundred warships that can be called large, led by a huge spaceship, as if several oval capsules are combined, of course, the scale here is compared to Renault's Hyperion - a dozen kilometers long battleships are amazing for humans, but compared to hundreds of kilometers of "imperial admirals" is just a frigate class.
"Protoss?" Renault muttered in surprise, "They actually appeared here, it seems that as long as there is a place infested by the Zerg, the Protoss will easily get moved-these two races have obviously not appeared in this star area for several years." ”
"Detected that the opponent has an energy form similar to the ghost, and the target energy sample is being analyzed......"
Just as Asa and I were arguing about the aesthetics of the other ship, the "Imperial Admiral" automatic scanning radar suddenly issued such a prompt, which made the entire bridge quiet for a moment.
Everyone, including Visk, who was always quiet, and Sandora, who was always calm, were stunned.
"Excuse me...... Did something happen? ”
Renault naturally didn't know the reason why we suddenly quieted down, he just felt that the atmosphere around him suddenly became weird, and there were any bulls around him who could dismantle the Gundam empty-handed, and the strong force field that we inadvertently leaked at this moment made him instinctively feel the danger.
Even Tex, who always looked like a hanger, looking around with a cigar that could never be lit, couldn't help but touch the door of his head: there were shiny beads of sweat on it.
"The child's father, the other party sent a contact request, do you accept it?"
The sound of bubbles shattered the frozen atmosphere on the bridge, and despite the same shock, the sheer logic module of the Xiling mainframe allowed her to instinctively continue her work.
In other words, has something as tearful as "the child her father" also become one of her instincts?
While instructing the relevant personnel to start scanning the energy forms on the other ship, I tidied up my clothes and facial expressions, so that the bubbles were connected to the pan-frequency connection.
Immediately an ET appeared on the holographic projection in front of us...... Ahem, it's the Protos clan, the strange shape of the other party inevitably aroused the curiosity of me and several native species of the earth such as Qianqian, the blue slightly rough skin, the tall body, the eyes shining with blue-white light, and compared to the kind of "faceless" made up by Blizzard, the real Protos is obviously much more beautiful, at least except for the overall elongated face shape and the tentacles on the other party's chin, this alien is still roughly in line with human facial features.
I really want to be the Draenei in the World of Warcraft - that's what I came to in the end.
This is supposed to be a male...... Well, probably male.
"Humans?"
After seeing my face, the Protos commander first made this puzzled voice, "But it is impossible for humans to have such a fleet. ”
How do you think I should answer?
I shrugged, "Actually, I was quite surprised to find a race so similar to us in this sector—we're from the Spiritual Empire. ”
Protos' commander had a look of surprise on his face, it was clear that he had never heard of such a race in this sector (it was tearful...... But soon, he regained his indifference and nodded to me: "It's a pleasure to meet fellow travelers in the vast universe, I'm the commander from the El, Duhan. ”
The other party greeted me very politely, and identified himself according to interstellar conventions, and did not have the feeling of superiority as I imagined the Protoss "Protoss", of course, it was also possible that he was a little arrogant when facing a huge starship that was equal to the length of his entire fleet combined, and it was a high-energy response wherever it was scanned.
I nodded to the other party with a faint smile: "It's a pleasure to meet fellow travelers in the vast universe, Commander Du Han, I am the emperor of the Xiling Empire from another star region, Chen Jun, and I am here to purify the dangerous Zerg here. ”
"You're here for the Zerg?"
Delaney...... Ahem, the expression on the face of Commander Duhan of Protos changed, but unfortunately I could still understand the simple expression, such a complex muscle movement was just a waltz of a bunch of tentacles in my eyes.
I nodded to the side to signal that the Star Incendiary Bomb could enter the launch preset, and said with a smile to Duhan, "According to this aboriginal friend next to me, it seems that your purpose is also to destroy the Zerg on this planet, but now you can save your own ammunition - release EP-03." ”
With my order, the star incendiary bomb, which had been in the firing state for a long time, immediately lifted the safety lock, and the lower end of the huge Doji ship opened a two-kilometer-wide gate near the bottom, poking out a rectangular catapult channel, and a bright flame of light shone in the channel, and finally condensed into a half-solid alien bomb, and then under the action of the force field accelerator, it turned into a silver torrent and rushed into the turbid and thick atmosphere below.
EP-03, one of a series of unbounded weapons created by the Xiling people, this special "bomb" specially designed for genocide is not a physical object, but uses an alienated ghost energy crystal as the core, with the help of a series of stable force fields to bind the huge ghost energy released by the crystal into a semi-material form, and at the same time adds a series of calcium, iron, zinc, tin vitamins that are beneficial to the health of the planet...... Well, in fact, I don't know what those things are, in short, after this bomb is unlocked, once it comes into contact with enough matter, it will produce a violent release of energy, and the part of the ghost energy close to the abyssal energy will produce a chain reaction, assimilating and activating the crust of the entire planet, making these things produce pure high temperature, a moment of heat release and strong radiation is often enough to kill all the creatures on the entire planet, and this high temperature comes and goes quickly, and its "deflagration" effect will only last less than an hour, In addition to completely melting the earth's crust, it does not have much impact on the stability of the planet itself, and it is really a good thing to kill people, grab money, grab food, and grab territory.
Although the cost of EP-03 is painful, at least it can leave us with an entire colony star, which is much more cost-effective than the sniper cannon that dismantles the entire planet into a single atom at once.
The activated astral incendiary bomb dragged a brilliant band of light and slammed into the surface of the planet, and for the first two seconds, there was no reaction, but then, an unprecedented flash of light blinded every pair of kryptonite dog eyes present.
A series of gray shockwaves spread out extremely fast, blowing away the planet's atmosphere, blowing its solid crust, and these things began to burn as they floated in the air, causing the next few layers of shockwaves to be dyed with more and more dazzling red, these shockwaves were far faster than the speed of sound dozens of times, and the more deadly ghostly radiation swept across the surface of the star at sub-light speed, and in just a few minutes, the entire nameless planet had been reduced to a sea of fire.
Red, blazing, like a second sun, this light and shadow effect is simply explosive.
"Child, her father, it's done."
The sound of bubbles interrupted the admiration in my heart, and I quietly vibrated my stiff facial features at a rate of thirty times per second, soothing a poker face that had been temporarily solidified by surprise, and then gently patted Renault, who had completely turned into a wooden man: "Hey, wake up, it's over." ”
Renault was covered in a thrill like a ghost, and then his eyes finally turned from the nameless planet that had turned into a sea of fire to my face.
"Bubbles, release the Xiling host," I briefly checked the scanned planetary energy residue, "In addition, send two high-level apostles to lead the elite troops to protect the host, and by the way, kill the brain worm whose vitality is strong enough to soak in the hot springs in the magma, who wants to go down?" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a strong wind blow beside me, and when I turned my head again, Pandora and Viska, the two little ones who had been suffocating for a long time, were gone.
Have you really gotten to this point?
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Xiling people, since the Zerg of this planet has been purified by the flames, then I think I should leave."
When the heavy assault ship carrying three Xiling main engines was personally escorted by Pandora and Viska from the take-off and landing platform of the "Imperial Admiral" and entered the atmosphere of the nameless planet, the commander of Protos made his intention to leave clear.
Sure enough, as I remember, the people of Protos mostly have an attitude of indifference and spectatorship towards life outside their own race, not arrogant, but inherently insensitive—they pay little attention to anything other than their own beliefs.
"Of course, I'm sorry to let you run in vain, I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future, and may victory and freedom always be with you."
As my words fell, the huge Imperial fleet also symbolically retreated slightly by half a kilometer, which was even negligible compared to the combat radius of the space battleship, but it made Du Han, who was already a little nervous, immediately show a relaxed expression, and then, the Protos fleet disappeared from our sight after the soy sauce.
The efficiency of the Chilling hosts was astonishing, but after a few hours, three bright silver patches had taken shape on the surface of the magma-infested planet, and they were expanding rapidly, and the speed at which the nanomechanical clusters could shape the alloy ground was simply outrageously faster than building a complex military base.
On the crimson flame star, the silver bright spots spread at an alarming speed, like psoriasis that is rapidly deteriorating...... Well, that's what it means anyway, the whole planet is gradually being covered in armor as if it has been infected by something.
"The Imperial fleet prepares to land, and the general flagship gives navigation instructions."
The sound of bubbles mingled with the mechanically synthesized electronic female voice, and a portion of the pre-programmed landing battleships, including the huge "Imperial Admiral", slowly detached from the array and landed towards the ground.
"Oh, I swear, those 'Protoss' must have been cramping in their calves when they left."
Watching the silvery-white alloy floor expand rapidly in his field of vision, Tex let out such an exclamation to hide the fact that his leg was twisting.
Renault glanced at his old friend, noncommittal about his claims, and then continued to observe the rapidly "growing" alloy surfaces on the ground with some curiosity, this way of building was obviously different from any of the three races in this sector, and his curiosity was fully aroused even if he was not a scientist.
The "Imperial Admiral" finally landed on the largest of the three silver bright spots, which had expanded into a unilateral metal monolith of 1,000 kilometers long by the time we landed, not only outrageously strong, but also isolated from the crust that was still in a semi-melted state below, and along with the rapid expansion of this metal ground there was also a huge energy shield, which perfectly simulated the ecological environment on Earth: although the body had been strengthened to the point of traveling in space, I'm still not a fan of aerobic exercise in a toxic atmosphere up to 300 degrees Celsius filled with rock steam.
(Well, while there are two days left, continue to ask for votes and support...... )
