After the end of the Fourth Earth Defense War, mankind finally ushered in a rare peaceful development, not only with the rapid development of military strength, but also with the vigorous development of science and technology.

The relationship between human beings and the first and third civilizations has always been at the freezing point, human beings have a large number of prisoners of war, and they are already invincible, and they thought that it would not be long before these two civilizations will come into contact with human beings again.

With the Second Civilization acting as a mouthpiece and buffer for both sides, bilateral negotiations have resumed.

After four months of unremitting efforts, mankind and the first and third civilizations finally reached an agreement to release all prisoners of war.

Soon after, mankind established formal diplomatic relations with the Second Civilization and reached an agreement on a series of issues such as science and technology, natural resources, and interstellar trade, turning a new page in history.

A few years later, the Starship base.

Ling Xiao hurriedly broke into a small elevator-like room on the bulkhead, and with a flash of light, it had already been teleported to the main control room: "Ou Fei!"

"I'm here!" Ou Zhanpeng agreed, "What's wrong?"

Ling Xiao immediately leaned up, his fingertips were on the terminal, and a document had been passed over: "I just received the news from the Rock Crust research station, more than half an hour ago, a large alien spaceship appeared over there, initial contact, the other party has no malicious intentions, and hopes that we will provide sufficient supplies and fuel."

Ou Zhanpeng was stunned: "Which rock shell?"

"Oops, it's T-3762's armed research station!"

"Oh, got it!" Ou Zhanpeng suddenly realized.

T-3762 is a red dwarf star located 37.62 light-years away from Earth, where there are four planets, two terrestrial and two giant planets.

Located near the third planet, the Crust is currently the farthest research station in the solar system.

The reason why the research station is located here is that Planet 3 is located right in the middle of the habitable zone, and its moon not only has a large amount of liquid water, but also naturally evolved a primitive ecosystem.

This is the first time that humans have discovered a native ecosystem in the universe, so great attention has been paid to it, otherwise the military would not have arranged a scientific research station in such a galaxy.

Now that the military has set up a large number of scientific research stations, if there is nothing special, Ou Zhanpeng really can't remember it.

remembered where the Rock Hull was, but Ou Zhanpeng looked surprised: "If you want any supplies, you can sell them, is it worth making a fuss about such a trivial matter?" What's wrong? The other party wants to grab it?"

"Not really." Ling Xiao shook his head, "First, the other party wants too many quantities, and they must be deployed from other directions; The second is that the other party wants to use a message to reduce part of the fee."

To this day, human beings still only have a certain understanding of the vicinity of the solar system, and in order to understand the situation in deep space as much as possible, human beings have formulated rules for deducting fees with deep space information.

Ou Zhanpeng immediately grasped the point, and his expression immediately became serious: "What news did the aliens provide?"

Ling Xiao pointed to the terminal, "It's better for you to see for yourself."

Ou Zhanpeng quickly found the data in the terminal, and with a fingertip, a light and shadow jumped out of the terminal screen and fell into the middle of the general control room, turning into a holographic image.

It was the edge of a small galaxy, and the sparse little bodies silently spoke of the barrenness here. ….

A few seconds later, the calm was shattered by a sudden opening of the wormhole, and a gray fusiform giant ship burst through the hole.

Ou Zhanpeng's pupils shrank: "So big?"

Judging by the data given from it, the overall length of this ship is more than ten kilometers, which is second only to the giant flying machine of the Starship base.

Ling Xiao reminds, "That's not the point!"

Ou Zhanpeng shrugged his shoulders and shifted his fingers to the next paragraph.

This time, it was an unfamiliar galaxy, the stars of Platinum Star, as many as twelve planets, and a large number of other celestial bodies.

At the edge of a galaxy, a group of small objects from the deep space of the universe cut into the edge of the galaxy, they are similar in size, numerous in number, and densely packed all over the world.

So many small celestial bodies, and all sizes and shapes

Almost, certainly not a natural phenomenon!

Ou Zhanpeng looked at Ling Xiao in surprise, but the latter shrugged his shoulders and showed that he didn't know anything.

Fast forward, and a large group of small objects soon arrived in the middle of the galaxy.

At this time, a powerful fleet appeared at the edge of the picture, numbering at least a few hundred.

There was still a long distance between the two sides, and the fleet opened fire in advance, and the dense beams of light pierced the void, shattering and destroying countless small celestial bodies.

However, there were too many small celestial bodies, and the fleet tried its best but was still powerless, so it could only fight and retreat.

This section uses the expression of time-lapse photography, and it can be judged that the fleet's volley lasted for a long time, maybe months, maybe years.

As the small celestial bodies continued to approach, the fleet retreated again and again, gradually approaching the fourth planet.

It is the only habitable planet in this galaxy.

Probably realizing that the fleet could not stop the small celestial bodies whose origins were mysterious, this strange civilization began to flee from the fourth planet, and ships continued to leave the planet and fly away from the galaxy.

During this time, the fleet continued to retreat, and finally encountered the asteroid group head-on not far from the fourth planet.

However, the next development startled Ou Zhanpeng, those small celestial bodies actually moved when they were close to the battleship, and the small celestial bodies that were originally close to the spherical shape suddenly stretched out, turned into a thick and long cone-shaped shape, and crashed headlong into the battleship's shield.

The continuous impact quickly destroyed the shield, which then smashed through the outer armor and embedded deep in the surface of the battleship.

The camera shifted to the battleship, and Ou Zhanpeng and Ling Xiao realized that the thing was not simply embedded in the armor, but after penetrating the armor, the monsters inside the battleship were sent inside.

It was a large monster covered with scales and crust on the surface and thick limbs, somewhat similar to the insects, but extremely distinct.

In particular, this thing has a thick and sturdy shield-like structure on its head, which can carry the alien defensive firepower without falling into the wind, and it doesn't take long for the alien battleship to get into the middle of the noon holes, and then lose power.

The alien warriors in the battleship fled one after another, and those who failed to escape in time were all killed in the giant maws of the monsters.

Hundreds of battleships were lost in a short time.

Next, the asteroid swarm arrives on the fourth planet and falls as a meteor that turns into a rain ship.

It didn't take long for the monsters to completely take over the planet.

They can be found everywhere in the mountains, plains, and seabeds, and both plants and animals cannot escape the huge maws of monsters. ….

And the monsters showed amazing adaptability, different environments, different forms, if it weren't for watching them fall from the sky, the two of them couldn't believe that those weird-looking, completely different looking guys were actually the same race.

What surprised the two of them even more was that after eating and drinking, this thing actually stuck its tail fiercely, planted itself on the ground, and never moved from then on, turning into a giant plant that kept growing.

But not all the monsters have landed on planets, and many more small bodies remain in outer space, feeling that enough have landed, and they have flown away from here to continue their search for other planets.

Some of them can't wait to land on planets with harsh environments, and eventually die.

More monsters, after touching the situation of other planets, chose to fly away from this galaxy and embark on another long journey through interstellar space.

Ou Zhanpeng's whole person is not good: "What the hell is this?"

He continued to scroll back, but there was no more information.

Ling Xiao shook his head: "I only know that these things are provided by aliens, and if I want to know more, I can only ask aliens."

Ou Zhanpeng calmed down a little: "Have you figured out the origin of the aliens?"

"I've already contacted the Edged People, and according to them, this is a powerful civilization from the direction of the Silver Heart, and it still has a little connection with us."

Ou Zhanpeng frowned: "What do you mean?"

Ling Xiao: "According to the Lenghe, they are the civilization behind the Blackhorns, the average is only so high, but their technology is not

They are often advanced, and they have just been named the Rohres."

He stretched out a hand and compared, and it was as long as a hand.

"Twenty centimeters?" Ou Zhanpeng couldn't believe it was true, "No kidding?"

Ling Xiao tugged at the corners of his mouth, "That's what the edged man said."

"Oh my God!" Ou Zhanpeng secretly calculated that the construction of a 10-kilometer-long giant ship by the Luoer people, who are only 20 centimeters high, is not equivalent to humans building a super giant ship that is more than 100 kilometers long?

He was stunned for a moment before asking, "Is there anything else up there?"

"Find out the situation of the Star Beast as soon as possible, and assess the threat of the Star Beast to the Earth."

"Understood." Ou Zhanpeng nodded, "You can go yourself."

He said.

After fighting the fourth battle to defend the earth, the above gave Ou Zhanpeng a death order, and he was not allowed to leave the solar system unless he had to.

Cheng also lost Xingzhou, and now Ou Zhanpeng guards the Xingzhou, but he can only be trapped in the solar system and can't go anywhere, and the grievance in his heart is gone.

In other words, over the years, mankind has built so many extraterrestrial space station research stations, and he has never seen any of them.

It's outrageous?

Ling Xiao saluted with a patton-style salute: "No problem!"

A moment later, Ling Xiao teleported to the bottom cabin, piloted a shuttle more than thirty meters long to leave the base, and it only took a short time to fly to the vicinity of the stargate near the base, sending a request to T-3762.

The huge stargate opened in front of the shuttle, and in the darkness of the stargate, there seemed to be a little bit of light flickering.

Ling Xiao opened his shield and drove the shuttle headlong into the stargate.

Through the unremitting efforts of scientific researchers, mankind has finally mastered the wormhole technology after the end of the Fourth Earth Defense War. ….

But the wormhole technology is not as perfect as imagined, and the most troublesome part is that the equipment is too large and heavy, and only large aircraft can be loaded and used.

To this end, researchers have consumed countless brain cells, tried everything they could think of, but they couldn't reduce the size of the device.

Gong Yiding believes that this is not a problem that can be solved in a while, with the technical level of human beings, it is very reluctant to master wormhole technology, and it is necessary to wait for other aspects of technology to make breakthroughs before it is possible to further reduce the volume of the equipment.

However, faster-than-light navigation is an important technology that human beings urgently need, and if they can't master wormhole technology, they can only buy it from other civilizations at a high price, which is equivalent to taking the initiative to send the handle to potential enemies.

Eventually, the researchers found an alternative way to use it, and that was the stargate.

This thing has long been rotten in science fiction works, and it is not too difficult to implement.

In this way, the military took the solar system as the center and built dozens of stargates to other galaxies, and since then, not only large warships can travel to and from the surrounding galaxies at will, but also small spaceships can go to other galaxies through the stargates, which has greatly prospered the interstellar trade of mankind.

When Ling Xiao regained consciousness, he had already appeared in the target galaxy, the research station was not far ahead, and the giant Rolle spacecraft was also near the third planet, and it seemed to be sucking up the atmosphere on the giant planet to separate fuel for the spacecraft.

As the plenipotentiary representative of the human side, Ling Xiao had a brief exchange and contact with the Rohrians, agreeing to provide enough food and fuel to the other party, but also asked the Rohrians to exchange technology and information, instead of fooling around with useless gold.

After many years, today's Ling Xiao is no longer the mouse eye of the year.

The Rohr people readily agreed.

In this way, after Ling Xiao returned to the solar system and reported the situation to headquarters in detail, a group of fully loaded transport ships set sail for T-3762.

When he saw Ou Zhanpeng again, Ling Xiao looked preoccupied.

"What's wrong?" Ou Zhanpeng asked.

He rarely saw this kind of expression on Ling Xiao, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

Ling Xiao looked up, "The situation is much worse than expected, according to the Rohrians, those monsters did not appear out of nowhere, in our words, they should be an interstellar beast

tide."

"What's that?" Ou Zhanpeng's mind was a little confused.

"It's what you heard." Ling Xiao said, "No one knows where they come from, only that there are huge numbers of these things, they don't have the ability to fly faster than the speed of light, they can only fly slowly through the long interstellar space at sub-light speed, but any galaxy that is invaded by them will be defeated in front of the huge number of star beasts."

Speaking of this, Ling Xiao rubbed his forehead with a headache: "The Rohr people said that they had known the news of the Star Beasts for a long time and knew their danger, but they didn't pay attention to it until the Star Beasts appeared in the Rohr system, and it was too late."

Ou Zhanpeng's eyes flashed: "Where is the galaxy of the Rohr people?"

"In the direction of the Silver Heart, about 120 light-years away from us." Ling Xiao said, "No wonder we killed the Blackhorned People, the Luoer people didn't even let out a fart, they couldn't protect themselves, how could they take care of the Blackhorned People?"

Ou Zhanpeng quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "In other words, the star beast needs to fly more than four hundred light years to reach us, and we still have enough time to develop slowly......" The words were optimistic, but he immediately sighed again, "Unless we don't develop outward, we will have enough time......

"And what do you think?" Do you want to step in?" Ling Xiao asked.

Ou Zhanpeng pursed his lips: "This is not something I can decide, and the distribution range and direction of the star beast are unknown, what should I do, at least I have to find out the situation of the star beast, right?"

After that, he turned on the communication system: "Headquarters, I applied to reconnoiter the situation of the Star Beast, yes, let the Star Boat go!"
