Him and their stars

Chapter 684 The So-called Imperial Search

Although it is a vast sand sea of ​​more than [-] million kilometers, at first glance it seems to be a yellow hell that does not exist and is difficult to cross, but in front of a landing craft that cruises at supersonic speed in the atmosphere, it is ten thousand A matter of minutes.

In fact, it took nearly half an hour, because when passing through the middle of the sand sea, Yu Lian saw huge remains scattered near a sand dune, so he asked to land to have a look.

Those broken corpses are so huge, it feels like every piece of broken carapace can be flattened to make a football field.However, none of the tissues inside those pitch-black carapaces, whether it was flesh, fibers, body fluids or other biological tissues, remained.

This is indeed the way Xiali's worms and grandchildren play, and it doesn't waste resources at all.If it weren't for most of the shells of the Arax sandworms being as hard as battleship armor and already having mystical properties, and they still can't digest them now, it is estimated that these shells will not be let go.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion spent more than a billion gold dragons to bring these sandworms in." Ms. Nairhana said with a full face of regret: "The original version, the original sandworms that have not undergone biological improvement, are only a few in the whole empire." A successful example of stocking on other planets, but now it is all ruined."

Many years ago, the Arax sandworm was regarded as a divine animal by the local people, and was even regarded as a belief, and it was absolutely impossible to be reduced to a livestock.Therefore, it took the empire several hundred years to spread the "Twelve Precautions for Raising Sandworms" to the entire universe.He just wants to tell everyone that I can raise dragons, but what are mere bugs?
However, the sandworms successfully bred by the empire on other planets, such as the ones Yu Lian encountered in Gumeiya, were all genetically modified.The examples of successful breeding of native Arax sandworms on other planets can be counted on one hand, and the cost is extremely high.

There is no way, the main consumers of high-end luxury goods are a bunch of hypocritical coquettish bitches.The spices pulled by the original sandworm, ah no, the spices produced are 5 to 20 times more expensive than the genetically modified version.

Otherwise, even the rich and powerful empire should have given up long ago.

However, looking at Miss Nairhana's mournful concubine, I feel that she is more sad than the civil servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It was only later that Yu Lian found out that Baroness Nirhana Meera had a special spice shop in Tianyu, the imperial capital, selling all kinds of luxury goods made of Arax spices, which was considered the ancestral property of their Meera family.

"All the original ecological A-grade sandworm spices in the whole empire are the cheapest here, and I still have purchase channels. If they are destroyed, the cost will not be able to hold up in the future!" Miss Nairhana was very sad. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, even these auspicious beasts that just stay in the desert and live safely. They eat sand, but spit out spices. Is there any animal in the world that is more beneficial to the world? ?”

Yu Lian didn't know that Miss "Iron Wall Mela" had such painstaking efforts to manage the family business when she was young, so she didn't feel sympathy at all, only a sense of surreal absurdity.

Of course, Miss Meera developed a hatred for the Swarm, which was a good thing.

Subsequently, the technicians conducted a full scan of the wreckage left on the site, and determined that these were the carapaces from eight sandworms.This means that the biological tissues lost by the big sand worms present are millions of tons of protein and carbohydrates.

... This is enough to get a whole medium-sized Hive Leviathan, and a whole batch of escort war worms.

Yu Lian suddenly felt a headache, thinking that the Prime Minister's Mansion is really troublesome, why are you raising sandworms in the desert?Originally, this desert environment lacking sufficient biological resources was very unfriendly to Xia Li's recovery, but with this kind of animal that was so heavy that it hardly belonged to the natural world, it was another matter.

Xia Li is by no means an iron-headed idiot, but a cruel and cold-blooded avenger with a clear mind. If she really has Leviathan, she will never be trapped here waiting to be concentrated by the imperial army.

Now, Yu Lian can only hope that Xia Li's swarm technology tree has not pointed out Leviathan yet.

Five minutes later, the technicians' scan results came out, and they immediately reported to Ms. Nairhana: "Sir, apart from the carapace of the sandworm itself, no other biological substances have been found. Only some corrosion residues."

Miss Nirhana Meera is currently only a colonel and is not qualified to be called "Your Excellency".But she also has a hereditary title and is a psyker, this general star has only been in the past two years.It's not wrong to shout in advance.

Again, although the imperial army is elite and professional, it also has basic office EQ.

"Corrosion residue?" The female knight frowned slightly: "The carapace of the sandworm is comparable to military materials!"

"If it's this kind of primitive sandworm, it can even be regarded as an alchemy material." Yu Lian said.

"And its body fluid itself is extremely corrosive..."

"Otherwise, how can even vehicles, houses, and even small towns be swallowed and digested?"

By this time, everyone finally had a more intuitive understanding of the abilities of these alien monsters.Ever since, the officers and soldiers of the empire, who were still somewhat contemptuous of this operation, became nervous.

At the wreckage of the sandworm, everyone was delayed for more than ten minutes. By the time they all flew out of the sand sea, it was already 14:45 pm in the Tianyu standard time.However, in Yuanxiang Xing, the sun is about to set.The halo of the setting sun painted a palpitating scarlet on the edge of the sand sea.

But the other big mountain that everyone was about to climb over was already covered by shadows.Looking at it with the naked eye, it is already difficult to see the outline of the mountain clearly. I just feel that under the dark shadow, it is full of extreme depression and chilling, like a huge monster that is opening its teeth and claws. It makes people feel palpitations.

"Did the high-altitude reconnaissance find anything?" Nairhana asked the cruiser in low-earth orbit loudly on the communication channel.

Now, one of the cruisers is using a scanner to search in the direction everyone is heading.It stands to reason that even one or two guerrillas carrying bazookas hidden in the crevices of the rocks should have been discovered, but they never found anything.

Yu Lian was not surprised at all.At the beginning, the scientific research ship taken by Teacher Yang was searched in Xinyumen, but there was still nothing.

Everyone is still unaware of the latent ability of the swarm.The existing scientific and technological investigation methods still need to be updated several times before they can achieve effective military investigation effects.

If it were an ordinary person, and they heard that the investigation had found nothing, they might already be wondering if Yu Lian was fooling himself.However, Ms. Nairhana had no doubts about Yu Lian's judgment. She pondered for a while, and then said, "Can you connect to Angel of Dawn and ask what Lieutenant General Tauriel means..."

"Lieutenant General Tauriel is busy." A young female voice cut into the communication channel, her voice was calm without any ups and downs. To put it bluntly, it was a typical three-tone.

So, Yu Lian quickly thought of the three-none colonel lady who was helping Lieutenant General Tauriel on the bridge of Dawn Angel.She should also be a psychic who belongs to the direction of wide-area exploration, reconnaissance, and space recognition. If it is not "exploration" and "cruising", then it must be "spiritual possession".

Miss Nairhana said in surprise: "Ah, Helena, are you on the boat? Then help me check and see if I can find those alien monsters."

"I'm not a witch." The colonel lady known as Helena still said in a calm tone.

Yu Lian now knows who she is.It must have been Earl Helena Corbett, who had served as chief star-seeing officer in the time of Empress Brunhilt.

Of course, as a star witness, that is, the so-called "official magic stick", she didn't appear in public much, so Yu Lian didn't recognize her right away.

"There is no problem with your direction, I can be sure of that." Ms. Xingjian Guan said again.

Nairhana seemed to be relieved, but she still asked, "Is there no way to determine the exact position?"

This request may be a bit nonsensical, anyway, Ms. Xingjian Guan has already directly hung up the communication.

Nairhana smiled nonchalantly, and said to Yu Lian: "According to your request, the headquarters has mobilized a considerable amount of support firepower. Now, there are three people in the stratosphere keeping watch and on standby." Squadron of multi-role fighters, and two high-altitude support gunboats."

Not to mention the former, but the latter is a fire support platform that operates exclusively in the atmosphere. Its size is close to that of an aircraft carrier in the parent star era. It is about [-] to [-] meters long and weighs more than [-] tons. It is conceivable How much firepower can it carry?

We all know that if this kind of thing is used on the battlefield of the same technical level, it will be a big target.But if it is an asymmetrical battle, it is the best fire suppression platform, and it can be called a security weapon.

The empire has a vast territory, and there are many races under its rule, but not all of them are so obedient and understand the principle of cosmic prosperity.No country needs such a military weapon more than the Empire.

However, don't say that this is prepared to suppress domestic dissidents.Otherwise, the empire will definitely be in a hurry with you. They believe in their hearts that power brings order, and order brings prosperity.

In addition, if nothing else, just talk about the alliance on the opposite side, but there is no shortage of equipment, right?Don't they claim to be the beacon of civilization for the integration of all races in the galaxy?Is there anything that cannot be discussed in society free speech parliamentary debate?What is this kind of equipment used for?

"When fighter planes and gunboats find the enemy, please don't try to get close to the dogfight, and use honeycomb missiles to attack from high altitude. In addition, please don't use heat source tracking missiles. It is best to use smart tracking missiles."

In this way, the cost will increase a lot, right?You know, there is no very advanced artificial intelligence in this universe.This means that in order to make these missiles really "smart", each missile is equivalent to being equipped with a complete set of information terminals that can calculate a large number of calculations, and occasionally even requires the gunner to operate it himself.

Seeing Nairhana's puzzled expression, Yu Lian explained: "You see, we clearly know that those alien species exist, but the investigation methods have found nothing. I have reason to believe that the heat source signal on them is very low. Low To the extent that existing military weapons are unrecognizable."

The lady knight suddenly realized, and said with emotion: "Is this... the temple that the ancient famous generals of the earth people said?"

"Well, it can only be called reasoning at best."

In fact, it's just the opposite.Yu Lian thought.

Considering that the girl's recent situation is not very good, Yu Lian said again: "If the cost can't be controlled, just use the space shock bomb directly. Just set up a isolation zone for vacuum explosion, and nothing can get through it! Actually , if it is up to me to choose, I will use this thing to fry for two rounds in the end."

Miss Nairhana felt that her ears were hallucinating, so she couldn't help repeating: "Space shock bomb?"

"Yeah, that thing can even separate a Saild torpedo. Let alone a swarm of bugs."

Maybe Miss Knight didn't know about the Battle of the Far Shore Nebula, or maybe she pretended not to know at all, so she asked again: "...is it in the atmosphere?"

"There's nothing wrong with that." Yu Lian said with a smile, "Anyway, it's cleaner than a neutron bomb."

"It's not clean at all! Yu Lianqing, take advantage of my absence to fool your honest child!" The voice of another person cut into the communication channel, but it was Brunhilt.

Co-author, you were hiding in the group and observing secretly just now?Uh, no, I said that you are a serious commander, shouldn't you focus on fortress strategy?

Ms. Su Liuka Wang seemed to have sensed Yu Lian's thoughts, and explained: "Now it's just a deterrent bombardment, and I can leave it to Admiral Farrell. Anyway, the looters have been smashed so hard that they dare not show their faces, maybe They came out and surrendered. In comparison, my intuition tells me that those wonderful xenomorphs are much more dangerous than predators."

Yu Lian thought that your intuition is indeed correct.

"However, Lian Qing, if the vacuum bomb is used in the atmosphere, it will have a structural impact on the landscape environment."

"So what? Your Highness, at most, we are just turning that hill into a desert again. By then, the area of ​​Sandworm Ranch may be expanded instead." Yu Lian explained with a smile: "We can't be sure, either. Will those alien cells have new mutations under nuclear radiation, but the shock bomb is a pure air blast, which can not only create a defensive isolation zone, but may even wipe out all those monsters at once. It's time for us to pick up the corpse."

Of course, the premise is that Yu Lian's judgment is accurate.If nothing is found in the end, it is dropping a weapon of mass destruction in the atmosphere of a habitable planet for no reason.Even King Suliuka himself would have some trouble with the Privy Council.

Brunhilt pondered for a moment on the other end of the communication, nodded and said: "It makes sense. Then, Nirhana, I will leave the front line to you, and I will be responsible for any problems."

Although King Su Liuka likes to observe secretly, he has no intention of leapfrogging the command. He just leaves it to the commanders who are more familiar with the situation on the spot to make the decision, and he is only responsible for the result.From this perspective, she is indeed the best kind of leader.

Miss Nairhana was very moved, and then gave an order to the two high-altitude gunboats in the sky: "Then, according to the area designated by Colonel Yu Lian, fire five space shock bombs in succession!"

Yu Lian looked at this famous defensive player known for his calmness, perseverance, simplicity and reliability in the future, and felt more and more that the growth of a person really depends on self-struggle and the process of history!
Immediately afterwards, in Yu Lian's sight, it seemed that a cloudy light group appeared out of nowhere in the sky, covering the mountains stretching hundreds of kilometers away.The outlines of mountains and hills broke free from the shadow of the setting sun, but were instantly absorbed into these turbid waves, making them even more unreal.

That is a visual dislocation caused by space distortion!

At this moment, Yu Lian felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a certain destructive desire hidden in the depths of his soul almost couldn't be restrained, and was about to jump out.

He knew he had found the right place.
