222 Colonia Fragments

The so-called hearing has a sequence, and there is a specialization in the arts, Tuchucha is worthy of being an artifact left over from the "Ancient Sage", the apex of psionic energy in the physical universe, and the subspace positioning and navigation that humans need to achieve with difficulty through the navigator family and the star torch are as easy, accurate and efficient as instinct for Tuchucha.

After Russell's training, this artifact became extremely well-behaved, and there was no resistance to the manipulation of the gray Gu mothership. With the help of Tuchucha's power, Grey Wind made his way back to Falla.

Looking at the time, Grey Wind arrived at Falla in the same second that she tore open the rift and entered the subspace.

Faster than the Jump Engine, more accurate than the Measuring Bullet Bow, and more efficient than Tuchucha for interstellar voyages, enough to sling all the faster-than-light technology in Russell's hands.

"Subspace navigation is so convenient, is it no wonder that the humans of this universe have not developed decent physical faster-than-light means......" Gray Wind stared at the faint halo of light around Tuchucha, and gained a further understanding of the embarrassing status quo of the Human Empire.

Humanity had such a convenient way of interstellar travel in the prime time of the early days of interstellar exploration, so they focused on climbing the Ascension Technology Tree, rather than developing a new and more stable physical faster-than-light means from scratch.

This is a matter of course, just as the productive forces of an agrarian civilization, if too strong, will lead to a lack of motivation for the development of industry in society.

During the Golden Age, humanity had always relied on subspace to communicate with various colonies, and at this time, human technology developed rapidly and civilization was highly prosperous, until the subspace storm swept across the galaxy and the subspace engine failed, and the hidden instability of the sea of souls and the lack of a stable physical faster-than-light means were revealed.

At this time, if you want to climb the faster-than-light technology tree from scratch, you have to look at Tzeentch's face.

"Humans have swallowed the bitter fruit they have sown after all......" Grey Wind sighed, looking away from Tuchucha.

Sighing and sighing, she quickly sorted out her mood, and according to Russell's order, she left Falla through the L-Star Gate, crossed the Great Void of Nightmares, and went to the northern star belt of the Far Eastern Star Field.

In the capital system of the Eilensia Sector, "Esaline", Greywind found Colonia, who was cleaning up the remnants of the Xenomorphs.

Colonia reports to Grey Wind about her work:

"With the cooperation of the Colossus weapon equipped with the nano plague, the integration of the northern star belt has been basically completed during this time, and only a few rogues have not been cleared, but it is a water mill law and order war, and it will take time to slowly dissipate."

Grey Wind nodded in understanding.

In the process of integrating the northern star belt, Colonia's hive fleet devoured a large number of colonized planets completely occupied by the aliens in the name of purging, digesting huge amounts of biomass. The size of the fleet of the swarm creatures has now swelled to an unbelievable level.

For a strong swarm, it is not difficult to destroy a large group of enemies, but it is difficult to kill a small group of rogues.

The galaxy is too big and the fleet is too small.

"The northern star belt only occupies less than 1/3 of the territory of the entire Far East star field, that is to say, about 1/3 of the integration work of the Far East star field has been completed, and the population migration and planet resumption of production in the northern star belt have been completed, and the first batch of warships in the giant dockyard is about to leave the factory, and this area will soon have the initial self-protection ability......"

Gray Wind pinched his chin to summarize the current situation, and said to the Worm Queen: "After completing the work at hand, Colonia, you will gather all the Worm Hive fleet and move to the Southern Star Belt, that is the place that needs to be heavily guarded now." ”

The expeditionary route of the 13th Expeditionary Fleet is to the southwest, and a large number of greenskins are also migrating in that direction, about to crash into the Tomb World of the Sotek Dynasty and the Space Necro Free Men Organization.

The battle between the Orcs and the space necrons could break out at any time, and the southern star belt, which had not yet been integrated, was on the edge of the battlefield and needed the protection of the hive fleet.

"I see, I'll gather all the swarm tentacles right away and head to the Southern Belt." Colonia took the order.

But the life-shaping insect didn't rush to leave after taking the task, but looked at Gray Wind with an expectant gaze, and the tail behind her ass circled tangled.

"Uh...... What happened to you? Grey Wind was a little confused.

Colonia was a little confused: "Didn't you go out with your master, and now that you're back, where is your master?" ”

Gray Wind suddenly realized.

Russell had promised Colonia that he would give him his own genetic sequence as a reward after the integration of the northern belt was completed, but now that Russell was on business in the Klenna sector, it was impossible for Greywind to bring it back with Tuchucha right away.

"Wait, the marshal didn't let me come back first because of this......" Looking at Colonia's small eyes, Gray Wind felt like he had fallen into a pit.

This doubt only lasted for a moment, and Gray Wind found that the marshal had already prepared a countermeasure for himself.

"The marshal is still in the Krenna sector, and he won't be able to come back for a while." Grey Wind said, comforting the dejected Coloniae, "But I didn't come back empty-handed, I brought back the gift that the marshal gave you." ”

"Gifts?" Colonia was a little confused. Is it a sample of the owner's body tissue?

That's fine...... But the queen still hopes to absorb the owner's genes in other ways.

While Colonia was still wondering, Grey Wind quickly removed an ancient mechanical artifact consisting of two upper and lower rings and a cylindrical base from the Grey Gu Mothership.

"Qiang Qiang - Tuchucha! This is the marshal's gift to you. ”

"Tuchucha?" Colonia blinked.

Unlike Grey Wind, the Queen Mother of the Swarm possessed a powerful psionic talent and a high sensitivity to subspace, and just by appearing in front of her, she could vaguely see the essence of "Tuchucha".

Under Colonia's bewildered gaze, Grey Wind briefed it on the nature and function of Tuchucha.

“…… In short, the marshal wanted Tuchucha to be installed in the centerpiece of the 'Fódla' biological ark. This is the most advanced subspace engine in the galaxy from the hands of the Old Sage. With Tuchucha, you will be able to minimize the lack of mobility of the swarm. Grey Wind said.

Yes, Russell went to Klenna on the one hand to negotiate arms sales with Benhat Medius, but mainly to get Tuchucha for Colonia.

Although the Hive Fleet has a warp engine as a faster-than-light method, and a stargate to assist in moving, it is still too slow compared to the jump engine. And limited to the objective strength of the chitin carapace, the normal sub-light speed of the swarm is still far inferior to that of the steel giant.

The built-in Tuchucha is able to greatly improve this embarrassing situation.

Among other things, at least the time it takes for the Bioark to migrate from the northern to the southern belt will be at least half as short. The L-Stargate has an upper limit on access.

"Okay......" Colonia reached out her tentacles with a little tangle, swallowing Tuchucha into the belly of the Fódlan's creature ark.

It was indeed a very precious gift, unique in the whole galaxy, and Tuchucha's function was exactly what it desperately needed, but ......

"I still want the owner's genetics more......" Colonia thought to herself.

The life-shaping insect looked up, and the gray wind had already run, leaping away.
