Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Uninvited Guest
While the players were enthusiastically researching how to fulfill Her Majesty's request, a group of uninvited guests arrived on the planet of Thornlon.
The huge starship landed near Area 1, and because it was a considerable distance away from the Yegu Forest, Mo Lan didn't notice the sudden arrival of the guests.
She wanted to avoid her existence being detected by the interstellar people, so her spiritual power had never explored beyond the Yegu Forest, and only covered the territory she occupied, so it was impossible to find it.
But fortunately, there is still the existence of Shiqi.
Because Parker became a regulator, through the regulator's bracelet, he successfully invaded part of his data into the system of the interstellar people who occupied the planet.
The artificial intelligence on the starship named "White Moon" is an artificial intelligence that is several generations newer than Shiqi, but because of the difference in the level between the two, Shiqi is an artificial intelligence on a starship, and Baiyue is just an artificial intelligence on an interstellar ship.
Therefore, Bai Yue did not have enough computing power to find the Shiqi that had invaded its system data, which was also related to the transformation of Shiqi's current life form.
It is no longer pure data, in its manifestation, it already has the breath of life, which adds another layer of protection for its concealment ability.
This also made it possible for Shiqi to view the information on the starship without hindrance, although he could not tamper with Bai Yue's data.
Even the starship that arrived with this sudden landing was directly exposed in front of Shiqi's eyes.
Mo Lan, who was studying the energy point battery, was caught off guard by the news of Shiqi, "Another starship?" What are they going to do? ”
Shiqi didn't know how to answer the question, so he simply played the audio dialogue that he was listening to.
There is no video, after all, the feeling of being watched and secretly filmed, and the mental power value is a little higher, which is easy to detect.
The audio begins, and there is a rather rapid sequence of footsteps.
"&%$#" Truss gasped for breath with a swear word in the interstellar lingua franca, "What's wrong with those damn peeling crawlers, Matrow, it's clear that the time hasn't come yet!" ”
"How do I know!" Matrow's voice was also very bad, full of anger and a certain urgency, "Pruno, are you ready?" ”
"Don't rush me, I'm already preparing."
Pruno on the seat swung his fingers quickly, ghosting the dozens of holographic projections in front of him, "There is not enough time, you guys find a way to delay them!" ”
"How can we delay this, what you said is easy, Bai Yue, is there anything unusual about that group of black-skinned people recently?" The Blackskins are a disdainful term for the Tannon by the interstellar people, who do not identify themselves as the same humans as the stupid and ignorant Tannlons, but rather consider their existence to be greater and higher.
Hearing Matero's voice, Bai Yue quickly counted the recent data, keenly aware of some recent subtle changes, and replied meticulously, "According to statistics, the number of miners in the 9956 mining area has decreased slightly in the recent period......
Truss unceremoniously interrupted Bai Yue's reply, "Bai Yue, what we want to ask is not these inconsequential little things, you should understand that what we are asking is whether those damn black skins and others have done those substandard things." ”
"For example, marrying off your ungrown daughter, or ......"
"......" Bai Yue was silent for a moment before answering this question, "After testing, no relevant data has been found. ”
"Don't keep chatting, go find a way to delay......" Pruno's voice stopped abruptly.
Behind the suddenly opened door, a figure walked out, "What are you delaying?" The voice was smiling.
"Colonel Carnop!" All three stood up at the same time and replied in unison.
A young man in his twenties, dressed in an interstellar military uniform with several badges on his chest.
"Tell me more about what you're trying to delay." Canop spoke casually, with a little smile, but his eyes looked at the three people in front of him very calmly.
"This ......" The sweat on Pruno's forehead fell at once, and "we ......" incoherently.
After admiring the nervous appearance of these three people who couldn't speak, Canop waved his hand casually, "Okay, I'm not here for your business, you have your own measure, don't go too far, just can't explain it when the time comes." ”
"Then you are ......," Truss asked in a whisper.
"The Zerg Empress doesn't know what is crazy and attacks humans everywhere, I'll see if you're still alive and have become food for the Zerg Empress."
Canop strode into the main control room and sat on the main seat, his voice was still so hanging, and he didn't have any special emotions when it came to the Zerg Empress.
On the contrary, the three people who listened suddenly softened a lot, and their voices stumbled, "Huh? Bug, Zerg Empress? ”
"Yes, when a unit was patrolling, it happened to meet a newborn Zerg Empress on a planet, if it hadn't been discovered earlier, that planet would have to be eaten clean." Canop casually controlled the holographic projection on the starship, checked the various data inside, and his mouth was not idle, and he explained the whole thing clearly in three sentences.
"It is estimated that the Zerg Empress feels that her limit is approaching, so let's build momentum for the new Zerg Empress, while attacking humans like crazy, and at the same time releasing a bunch of new Zerg Empresses, hoping that she can attract the attention of humans and give those new Zerg Empresses a chance to develop."
"I don't know how many new Zerg Empresses it threw out, but now the opinion above is that you can ignore the Zerg Empress's dying counterattack for the time being, and find out those new Zerg Empresses who are still developing to solve them is the most important thing at present."
The three of them were covered in cold sweat when they heard this, the distance between them here was too far, they couldn't even connect to the star network, and they were one step slower than any information.
If something really happened, I guess I wouldn't be able to react at all.
"Poof." Canop looked at the frightened expressions of the three of them, and couldn't help laughing, "If there is really something here, it's too late for you to be scared now, relax." ”
Standing up, he patted one of them on the shoulder casually, and Canop said casually, "Next year will be the delivery time agreed upon when you cooperate with Fiora, this time this kind of thing happens, they probably won't come over in a short time." ”
Matro's expression distorted, and after a moment of silence, Matro forced a smile, "Yes, this batch of goods is going to be pressed in our hands this time, Colonel Carnop, you can see if you can help us with this." ”
"Sancheng, as long as the price of Sancheng, how about you help us deal with this batch of goods?"
"Hahahaha" After staring at Matrow for a few moments, Canop laughed heartily, and there was a little more sincerity in his smile, "Well, it's easy to talk about, just load the cargo onto my ship later." ”
"Now ......," Truss asked.
"Now, let's do a good job of searching this planet to make sure there's no Zerg Empress here." Canop's gaze was a little serious, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes when he mentioned the Zerg Empress.
Looking at the other three people's skeptical expressions, Canop didn't feel displeased, but just cooled his voice slightly, "This is a serious matter, but it's not something that can be jumped over in a sentence or two." ”
"Let's leave the scanning device completely open, and scan the inside of the forest as well, so as not to miss anything."
"This, Colonel Canop, energy ......" Pruno opened his mouth.
Canop looked back with a smirk, "Why, every ten years of trading with Fiora is not enough to scan the energy that the device starts. ”
"No, no." Pruno hurriedly waved his hand, didn't dare to speak again, and hurriedly excused himself to charge the energy and walked out.
Matro gritted his teeth secretly, the three of them conscientiously stationed on this marginal planet far away from the human galaxy, relying on the mineral resources on this planet to make a little deal with Fiora Company and make some extra money, but Canop came over and directly took away seventy percent of their interests.
Now let them start the scanner with their own energy, do you know how much energy it takes to start it once! They even asked those black skins and others to carry it by hand, just to save some energy.
They are so remote here, how troublesome and laborious it is to replenish primary energy, how can this person not understand, and energy is also money, how expensive energy is.
When Mo Lan heard this, she suddenly had an ominous premonition, she was afraid that she would not be discovered this time, the colonel named Canop didn't just drive a starship and came over.
He patrolled the planets with an entire fleet of starships, but only one starship landed on the planet's surface.
The rest of them are stuck in the universe outside the planet, and if they find something wrong, they can turn their guns and attack at any time.
At present, there are more than 100,000 Zerg teams developed by Mo Lan in the Yegu Forest, and once they are scanned, they are exposed in minutes.
Moreover, her hundreds of thousands of zergs are useless in the face of so many starships, and one is enough for her.
Mo Lan's previous behavior of wrapping the Yegu Forest with spiritual power is actually an optical hidden means, so that the vision can not see the problem, but the scanning device is different, it is a kind of power similar to spiritual power, using invisible waves to detect.
And this kind of detection can react with spiritual power, to put it bluntly, this function is mainly used to detect the spiritual power of the Zerg Empress.
"What to do, what to do!" Mo Lan was in a hurry, it wouldn't take long to activate the scanning device, but those interstellar people were reluctant, so this time was stretched a little longer, giving her more time to react.
In fact, there is a high probability that Mo Lan has no problem, after all, she is different from other Zerg Empresses, she has a stunt, that is, "going offline", taking the initiative to isolate and shield her spiritual power.
Although the actual connection still exists, she can reduce her mental power to a minimum.
"Let's get players offline! Let's just say that the system suddenly has a game bug, and it will be temporarily maintained for a few minutes. Mo Lan thinks it's not a good idea to let players continue to be online now, anyway, there is a time difference between inside and outside the game, and it probably won't be long before players can go online again.
"Okay." Shiqi understood the eagerness in front of him, a system notification popped up, and most players didn't react, so they went black and left the game.
But the question is, what should Mo Lan do with these hundreds of thousands of Zerg, if there is a little more time, she will consider releasing the Zerg Mushroom Blanket, and then digest the hundreds of thousands of Zerg soldiers into energy to supply the Zerg Blanket.
After passing the level in front of her, she re-incubated a new Zerg soldier, although she consumed a lot of energy out of thin air back and forth, but in this way, at least she could retain most of the energy under her hands, and the loss was not too much.
Such a period of time is obviously not enough for the Zerg Mushroom Blanket to digest hundreds of thousands of Zerg soldiers.
At this time, Shiqi sent a warning, and the scanning device over there was finally filled with energy and was ready to start.
"Ah, no matter, just let them go to sleep!" Mo Lan gave up on herself.
What can she do in such a moment!
"......" Shiqi seemed to have something to say, but after the data trembled for a while, he returned to calm and did not say it.
Mo Lan, who has withdrawn all her mental power, is still a little unaccustomed to it for a while, during this time she has always been in control of all the dynamics around her body like a god's perspective, and now, although she can still see with her eyes, she feels as if she has become a "blind person".
The unknown is the greatest fear.
Suddenly, she seemed to have returned to the time when she had just crossed over, because the nine sisters who were linked to the spiritual network were always full of terrifying thoughts about devouring the other sisters, so she was the weakest, and she almost wanted to escape all the time.
In this state of evasion, Mo Lan managed to recycle her spiritual power into herself, so that she couldn't perceive those sisters, and she couldn't connect with her.
Hakutsuki took over the scanning device, but it had a slightly strange feeling...... Maybe an AI shouldn't have such a thing as feeling, but the truth is that it feels "uncomfortable" and doesn't know where that discomfort comes from.
The scanning unit was inspected several times individually and no problems were found.
After the final analysis, it was only because the scanning device had been left for too long and it was a little rusty to start, which made it feel uncomfortable.
In fact, through the Overseer bracelet on Parker's wrist, Shiqi sent a lot of more data to the starship.
Thanks to Bai Yue's most of the calculations at this time, he didn't find the powerful intrusion of the pickup.
Yes, Bai Yue's "uncomfortable" feeling did not come from the scanning device, but from itself, and Shiqi was trying to contact its underlying data.
The White Moon seemed to have finally noticed, but before it could make a judgment, the order from the interstellar had already been issued, "Activate the scanning device!" ”
There was no way, Bai Yue could only choose to carry out the orders of the interstellar people first.
