Seven days!

It took the military seven days to conduct a major sweep of the entire Monument system. The swarm seems to have come to its senses and is no longer wasting its forces elsewhere trying to divert humanity's attention. Now the situation has become very clear. It doesn't matter if the engraver is really important to the swarm, and how important it is. This is no longer relevant to humans. Now the military's actions have only one purpose - to bulldoze the entire system of inscriptions.

The swarm couldn't help it. The third-level brood drove directly to the vicinity of the Monument system, completely handing over the rest of the line of defense to a second-level brood.

At this time, the meaning of the swarm is also clear, that is, the human beings of the stele galaxy cannot move.

The military has almost directly demonstrated the importance of the engraver to the bug. Follow-up is in full swing. The old general didn't want to continue the adventure of the inscription team, but the current situation still has no absolute advantage for humans, and it can even be said that after the third-level brood moves, humans have become timid - they are afraid that the insects will blow up the brood and pull the human fleet to finish together.

Although the self-detonation brood is also extremely damaging to the insect colony, humans are no match for the insects compared to their ability to recover.

The military once asked Noah to perform a calculation. As a result, regardless of the reason and circumstances, this time the Battle of Bonander would be destroyed if all the broods and troops of the human fleet and the swarm were all wiped out. As a result, the swarm will regain some ability to harass humanity within ten years, and will begin to roam the human skies again in fifty years.

It would take at least thirty years for humanity to assemble a fleet that could defend the territory - not counting the harassment that the swarm would begin after ten years, and if this instability was added, it would be a question of whether the fleet would be reorganized in fifty years.

The resources required for the human fleet, the manufacturing time, the training of personnel, and many other factors. It is destined that it will not be possible to become an effective combat force in a short period of time.

Therefore, the insect swarm dares to play and die together, but humans do not.

Therefore, the mission of the inscription team is still important.

In seven days, at the same time as the military was advancing, the inscription team was also advancing, from the beginning of the planet Memas to constantly jump forward, as long as the insect mother was found everywhere, it would be killed directly. Without a mother worm, a large number of insect colonies are killed.

The research data obtained at the Memas Research Base also played an important role.

According to research data, the mystery of the engraver has been partially revealed. Now the military can slap the table, affirming that the inscription is definitely not a normal natural star. According to the analysis of cosmic isotopes, the engraver underwent a great change two thousand years ago. And all the weirdness that followed happened after the great change.

And this also indirectly proves the previous military speculation that the stele engraver is a star that seals the high-level existence of the swarm.

It is conceivable that at the end of the Star Beast Dark Age two thousand years ago, with the help of the Star Beast King, the human race fought back, and a powerful existence in the swarm was defeated by one of the Star Beast Kings, but it could not be killed directly. With no other choice, the Star Beast King used the original Monument Engraver White Dwarf to seal the high-level existence of the swarm. And two thousand years have passed, maybe there is something wrong with the seal, maybe the time of the seal itself is almost up.

So the swarm once again connected with this high-level being, and launched the Battle of Ponander to save it.

As soon as such an idea took shape in the minds of the top military leaders, it could no longer be retired. This may sound like a complete violation of the technological foundations of today's human beings. But those who really know history know that in the Dark Ages of Star Beasts. In fact, mankind almost embarked on another path of development, but later because of the discovery of new gold relics, the process of mankind once again returned to the "right path".

Coupled with the complete loss of some historical materials at the end of the Dark Age of the Star Beast, no one now knows what kind of development that period of history almost led humanity towards, and the only thing that can be known is that there are many unsolved mysteries in human society today. are inextricably linked to that period of history.

So although it is incomprehensible, when a large amount of circumstantial evidence is in front of them, the top brass of the military can't help but fantasize. What they are missing now is the most direct evidence. And this evidence is likely to be brought by the inscription team.

Day 8.

The inscription team set off again. This time, their purpose is actually the same one they were aiming for in the first place - an asteroid. Tombstone One.

According to various analyses, the first solid planet captured by the stele carver 2,000 years ago, under its strong gravitational pull, this planet was shattered into sixteen pieces, which are tombstone 1 to 16. This sequence is calculated by distance, and Tombstone No. 1, at the critical point of the absolute forbidden area of the engraver, only a hundred kilometers more will enter the gravitational forbidden zone that shatters everything. According to the records of the Memas Research Base, the orbit of Tombstone 1 around the Monument Engraver is not stable, and in the 50 years that the Research Base has studied it, Tombstone 1 has been too close to the absolute gravitational exclusion zone, and thus has been crushed by gravity.

In 50 years, Tombstone 1 has shrunk by a full tenth. It is estimated that if this situation continues, in another two hundred years, Tombstone No. 1 will disappear completely.

The Inscription Team's target this time is on Tombstone One. According to the plan of action of the Monument Project, Xiao Ming and Remidios will reveal their identities here to see how the swarm reacts - which is indeed very dangerous, but the whole operation is a gamble.

"Tombstone One is the last and most dangerous stop of our entire monument-carving operation. There, even Remidios and I can't guarantee that we will come out alive, and I hope everyone will be prepared in the same way!" Xiao Ming said before landing, and the people of the inscription team said.

"No one can say clearly what the consequences of the monument carving action will bring. Maybe we'll be the heroes of history, or maybe we'll be the forgotten sinners of mankind. I don't know what the future holds, I just know that there are things that need to be done at this moment. As for the merits and demerits, leave it to the world to say! Now, take up your weapons. Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Ponander time, 6:28 p.m.

The landing ship landed on Tombstone One.

Tombstone 1 is an asteroid made entirely of rock. It is an irregular olive-shaped shape with a large number of impact craters, and Tombstone No. 1 is a miserable white color under the not bright light of the person who carved the stele.

"Tut-tut. Not to mention anything else, the stele carver is actually quite valuable!" Edward, who was the most heartless, looked at the stele carver in the distance and said in a loud voice.

Although a white dwarf star is a star, it has a core crystallized by high-density carbon, and this core is also called diamond.

To put it simply, a white dwarf is a giant diamond.

"Let's not talk about what such a large diamond will impact the market into, but the diamond itself is not a valuable thing, even if it is sold at the current market price. It's also not enough money for a divisional fleet. Not to mention that when such a large diamond enters the market, the diamond will really become the price of sand!" Hinenes, who appeared in the merchant family, gave Edhua a disdainful look.

With the current technological ability of human beings, synthetic diamonds are just like playing, and diamonds have long become worthless things except for some special environments that are still in use. Human jewelry has long been kicked out of diamonds.

"Ahaha, that's what I said, that's what I said!" Edward was not embarrassed, touched his head and smiled.

Report. There are no traces of bugs in the vicinity!" Steve finished his scan and reported to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming's soul searching technique didn't find anything either.

"Report to the Registrar. This is the inscription team, and there are no traces of bugs around!"

"This is the clerk, and Skynet has not found anything either. Target: Tentative Tombstone One: There is no swarm of biters. But at thirty of your rays, a million swarms are approaching, so be careful!"

"Inscription Team understands. Now for the inscription project!"

"The clerk understands. The plan can begin!

After finishing the call with Douglas, Xiao Ming looked at everyone: "We will start!"

"Captain. Here you go. We're ready!" It was Edward, the heartless fellow, who was the first to speak.

Xiao Ming and Remidios glanced at each other, and then removed the power armor on their bodies at the same time - ordinary humans only have a dead end in the space environment, but the strong who have reached the S-level can survive in space for a certain time, while the K(G) class can survive in the space environment for a long time.

The power armor of the two was specially modulated from the beginning. It can shield their spirit waves and make it difficult for them to reveal their identity. And now all the two have to do is deliberately reveal their identities.

"Let's get started!"

The two of them held hands and slowly levitated, and when they were ten meters above the ground, light began to appear on the two of them.

Xiao Ming's body was black and white, while Remidios's body was a blue light. The three rays of light were distinct at first, but they soon merged together. Black and white turned into a single ball, merging with each other and spinning at high speed, while the azure light turned into fifteen halos of black and white balls, also rotating and vibrating in an ultra-high-speed manner.

Xiao Ming and Remidios were completely obscured by the light, making it impossible to see their faces.

"The energy readings have reached the upper limit of the standard...... Exceed the upper limit!The rest of the inscription team, please avoid, please avoid immediately!" Douglas looked at the data on the Skynet, the numbing energy reading rose wildly at the beginning, and then continued to rise at a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye, but in just three seconds, it was already completely beyond the safety cordon.

"Oh my God, what is this data? Is the readout broken? That's more than the planetary weapons platform's main gun energy reading. Are these two people the core of power?" exclaimed the technician next to Douglas.

"Correct it now!" said Douglas.

"No, there's already a distraction. We can't get in touch with each other right now. Oh, General, look, the stele carver has reacted!" The technician exclaimed, pointing to the stele engraver on the light curtain.

The originally calm engraver seemed to suddenly boil, and the dim light suddenly became intense, and the gravitational index began to rise violently. At the same time, Tombstone No. 1 vibrated under the influence of gravity, and then drifted towards the person who carved the monument.

"Tombstone One is moving. Damn, it's moving!"

"Get the tractor ready now! Luckily we were prepared!"

"Oh no, the tow ship is ineffective as soon as it gets close to the Tombstone One!"

There was a mess in the front fingers, although the military had been prepared before, for fear that Tombstone No. 1 would be displaced, so they specially sent a few large traction towing ships and inscription squads to go over together, these tractors worked together to pull a big guy like the Bonander Fortress to move, but now these tractors stopped working as soon as they approached Tombstone No. 1, and the traction engine stopped working, and it will return to normal when it leaves that range.

"Calculate the speed of Tombstone One!" Douglas roared loudly as he slapped the table.

"In 24 hours, you will enter the absolute gravitational exclusion zone!" the calculations came out immediately.

The swarm moved, and they sped towards Tombstone One. Contact after ten hours!" Worse news followed.

"Send me someone to stop them!" Douglas said.

"No, the whole swarm moved, and all the fleets of the Monument system were attacked at the same time. General, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has sent an inquiry asking us what is going on?"

Douglas gritted his teeth, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Tell Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief that the inscription operation is in full swing. The inscription team begins to make contact with the engraver. According to the swarm reaction, please execute the ...... Project Four!"

The correspondent was stunned for a moment, but immediately sent out Douglas's words.

Plan No. 4, that is, to abandon the inscription team, everything is based on the overall situation.

Douglas slammed his fist on the control panel, staring at the light curtain that had turned into a whiteboard: "Xiao Ming, you have created so many miracles, create another one, as long as one, you will come back safely for me!"

In space, Tombstone No. 1 was shrouded in light.

The next moment, the light disappeared, and a large amount of interfering energy flow appeared around Tombstone One, and under the interference of these interfering energy flows, Skynet could not detect anything on Tombstone One. But if Douglas could have seen Tombstone One with his own eyes, it would have been noticed. Everyone in the Inscription Squad, including Xiao Ming and Remidios, disappeared from Tombstone One.

It's like they've never been there.

Tombstone No. 1 continued to move towards the gravitational exclusion zone, and the person who carved the monument had calmed down. (To be continued......)
