the only savior

Chapter 580 Zerg in Space (Two in One)

In this way, a group of five people landed on the moon accompanied by two star guards.

Even though they had made all the preparations in advance, when they set foot on this land in person, they still couldn't help feeling nervous.

After all, it was the first time for everyone to land on the moon like this, even the professional astronaut Zhao Liang.

Although he has entered a space station before, he has never actually landed on an extraterrestrial planet.

Now, he needs to personally lead a team of scientists to the moon, so how can he not be nervous?

So did the others, and they couldn't even take care of admiring the beautiful scenery here.

Their minds are now full of the training they received a few days ago, and almost all they think about is how to act next.

Fortunately, with the passage of time, everyone has gradually adapted to this feeling, and their attention has returned to the surrounding environment.

Even if he had already been in that spaceship before, he saw the outside scene through holographic projection.

But after stepping here in person, the senses it brings to people are still different.

The endless and deep starry sky, and the sun like a white spot in the distance, all of these are intoxicating.

"Okay, everyone, adjust your posture, how do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Zhao Liang's voice came from the team's communication channel.

"I was a little dizzy just now, but it's gone now!"

"I'm fine, everything is fine!"

"no problem!"

"OK!"

The team members answered one after another, and after Zhao Liang checked everyone's status, he said:

"Okay, since you can adapt, then follow me. The goal this time is to collect lunar soil and a specimen of the moon tree."

After he finished speaking, he led the crowd to a crater, and then began to collect lunar soil.

The collector used by everyone this time is a special space box with a volume of about one cubic meter.

This kind of box has its own disinfection function, which is a professional aviation equipment that Zhao Liang got after a lot of effort.

If it is filled with lunar soil, it can hold about two tons.

But everyone doesn't pretend to be that much, and it's almost enough to pretend to be 70%.

Facing this number, they were all excited.

Especially Mr. Richard, after knowing the amount of lunar soil brought back this time, he was almost crazy with excitement.

He can't be blamed for this, after all, moon soil is so precious that it was almost impossible for him to apply for one when he was in the research institute.

This is all limited by the current human technology, which makes it impossible to bring a large amount of lunar soil back to the water blue planet.

The Americans have only brought back a few hundred kilograms from the moon for decades.

Now, it's only the first time for everyone to come, and they can get back more than a ton at once. How can this make people not excited?

The lunar soil on the surface of the moon is very loose, and it can be picked up with a light hand.

At the beginning, everyone still collected with a sacred mentality.

But as more and more lunar soil was collected, everyone's movements also became faster.

In the end, if it wasn't for the restriction of the heavy space suit, I'm afraid everyone would have to bend over and plan.

On the Shuguang not far away, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help showing a smile on his face after seeing this scene.

In fact, he doesn't need to be so troublesome, he can just order the star guards to collect the lunar soil.

The reason why he didn't operate it by himself before was because he didn't know much about it, and he was afraid that bringing these things back rashly would cause some unknown dangers.

But now that he has professional aerospace and biological guidance, he can easily avoid these threats, and it seems that there is no need for Richard and the others to work hard to install soil there.

The reason for doing this is entirely out of the enthusiasm of these people.

Since they like the feeling of bending down to collect in person, it doesn't matter if Zhang Xiaoman can help a few of them.

Time passed quietly under the tireless work of Richard and others.

Five people, more than one ton of lunar soil, they spent a total of more than 20 minutes.

After all, spacesuits are really not the first choice for physical labor.

In addition, a few people couldn't use the relevant digging tools, so they could only find some places with soft soil to scoop a little bit, and the speed would naturally not increase.

Considering the safety of the space suit's battery life, the next actions of the few people had to be accelerated. When collecting moon tree specimens, they could no longer let them appreciate it slowly.

This so-called moon tree is the ugly purple strange tree that Zhang Xiaoman has seen before.

At that time, there was also a barren insect running to eat, but he killed it later.

From then on, Zhang Xiaoman came over regularly every few days to check the status of these trees, and to see if there were any other bugs coming to harm the place.

Fortunately, there seemed to be only one bug on the moon, and he didn't find any other bugs.

On the contrary, this forest has expanded a lot in such a short period of more than a month, and the previous trees have also grown a lot.

At this moment, the woods had already been explored by Zhang Xiaoman using the spirit detection technique, and no danger was found.

Zhao Liang and the others entered it immediately, and began to observe the appearance of these moon trees at close range.

When collecting lunar soil before, it was regarded as the home field of experts in the field of astronomy such as Richard, but now it is replaced by Tina.

Through the thick glass of the aerospace helmet, she stared at the moon trees with bright eyes. The excitement of the whole person was not much different than when Richard and the others saw the moon soil.

Using a knife to scratch lightly on it, the surface of those trees was not affected at all.

Tina froze for a moment, then increased her strength, but it still had no effect.

Zhang Xiaoman saw her intentions, and even ordered a star guard to go forward to help.

It is different from the rest of the people who just entered the Star Alliance.

Because of Dane's relationship, Tina entered the organization's laboratory half a month ago.

She still has some understanding of these armored warriors.

Seeing them coming, Dang even got out of the way, waiting for the opponent to make a move.

All I saw was that the star guard quickly drew out the long sword at his waist, and then slashed fiercely on the branch of the moon tree.

The latter was cut off easily, and a stream of purple juice also sprayed out, as if a living thing was bleeding.

"These guys give me the feeling that they are alive..."

Zhao Liang's voice came from the voice channel.

"I said, did you hear a scream just now? Why do I always feel that this tree screamed just now?"

Another player who was closer said.

"Liu Yang, are you stupid? You, this is the moon, even if the other party can call, you can't hear it."

However, Zhang Xiaoman who was not far away frowned.

Because he felt that the team member had heard correctly, the tree did bark just now.

But that is not a cry in the ordinary sense, but a kind of conduction similar to spiritual power.

From his perception of the spirit detection technique, it can be clearly found that when the branches of the moon tree were cut off, the overall dark energy fluctuations had a drastic change.

Zhang Xiaoman was a little puzzled.

He remembered that when he discovered this place for the first time, he also ordered the star guards to destroy the branches of this tree, but it did not produce similar effects.

"Could it be because of the increase in size?"

While he was thinking about it in his heart, a star sequence reminder suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Alert, five kilometers to the southeast, a large number of unknown creatures are found approaching."

"A large number of unknown creatures!?"

Zhang Xiaoman was startled, and immediately thought of Desolate Worm.

Sure enough, as the projection played by the star sequence appeared in front of everyone, he saw densely packed worms running crazily.

Although the number is not as large as that encountered by the Ninth Fleet last time, it is scary enough.

"Zhao Liang, lead the team back immediately! A heterogeneous group is coming here!"

Zhang Xiaoman gave instructions to the exploration team outside the voice.

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard the words, and then suddenly shocked again.

For those alien species, they also know more or less.

Everyone even saw their corpses up close during the moon landing training, and they all knew what kind of terrifying existence it was.

"Why, how could this be... Are there any creatures that can survive in this environment? This is really..."

A player's surprised voice came, but he stopped in the middle of the sentence, because his eyes saw the two star guards beside him...

He still thought these guys were alive.

The star guards didn't pause at all, they acted as soon as Zhang Xiaoman issued the order, picked up the box containing the moon soil on the ground, and walked towards the Shuguang.

The members of the exploration team also reacted and evacuated back as quickly as possible.

Before leaving, Tina still bent down and picked up the branch that fell on the ground.

Fortunately, although the bugs were coming fiercely, they still had a distance from everyone at this moment, and the remaining time was enough for them to retreat.

As the five returned to the isolation chamber of the spacecraft, the outermost hatch was immediately closed, and a burst of sterile gas was emitted from the cabin and pressurization began.

The Dawn immediately took off and raised its altitude instantly to avoid being attacked by bugs.

A moment later, a group of people walked in pushing the space box, and the branch in Tina's hand was preserved in a special glass vessel.

"Star Lord, you just said that there are alien species coming, could it be those wild insects?"

Tina arranged the glassware, and then asked Zhang Xiaoman with fear on her face.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, and then ordered Xing Sequence to turn on the holographic mode, projecting the scene on the moon below for everyone to watch.

"hiss……"

After seeing the dense swarm of insects, everyone gasped.

They have all been engaged in scientific research all their lives. Wherever they have seen such a terrifying swarm of insects, all of them have turned ugly.

"These, bugs... Are there a lot of them on the moon? Will they go to the water blue planet...?"

Zhao Liang stammered a bit.

"That possibility is not ruled out."

Zhang Xiaoman looked serious.

What Zhao Liang said was also what he was most worried about.

It took me a lot of effort to get rid of those bugs on Rebirth Island.

The purpose is to prevent them from multiplying rapidly and sweeping the entire world.

But now, the crisis on the water blue planet has just been resolved, and a large-scale insect swarm has appeared on the moon side.

This is a headache.

After all, this is not Aquamarine.

If he wants to fight here, besides relying on the Shuguang, only the Star Guard is left.

However, the amount of ammunition on the Shuguang is limited, and it is simply not enough to wipe out large-scale insect swarms.

The large-scale plasma beam attack like last time can no longer be used.

If you rely solely on the star guards, killing a small group of bugs is not a problem.

But once the number of opponents increases, the attack of the star guards can only be a drop in the bucket.

If these bugs are allowed to develop freely, maybe one day, that kind of StarCraft scene will really appear.

As for his space program, that would be unaffected.

After all, there is so much soil on the moon, Zhang Xiaoman just needs to find a random place to land, and then let the satellite guards dig the soil and bring it back.

With the efficiency of the star guard, it can be called a humanoid excavator.

"Could it be possible to use a nuclear bomb...?"

Zhang Xiaoman felt a little helpless.

He really didn't want to go this far unless he had to.

The moon is the main site for his next development, and he doesn't want the environment here to be destroyed.

Moreover, it is a bit unrealistic to use nuclear bombs to attack these swarms.

First of all, the Covenant itself has no nuclear bombs.

If you want to use a nuclear strike to attack bugs, you must inform the country that has a nuclear bomb on the blue planet of this matter.

According to normal logic, after learning of this news, countries will definitely not sit idly by.

But in this way, the star alliance's hole card will undoubtedly be exposed, which will go against Zhang Xiaoman's original intention of stable development.

Moreover, judging from the current technology of the countries on Aquamarine, it is not easy to detonate a nuclear bomb in outer space, let alone detonate it on the moon, which is almost impossible.

Unless countries are willing to hand over nuclear bombs to the Covenant for use, it is possible to implement the plan to detonate the moon.

But in this way, there are probably not many companies willing to do so.

It's impossible to think about handing over something like a nuclear bomb to an organization that doesn't know its roots.

Moreover, the power of nuclear bombs detonated in a vacuum environment will be greatly reduced.

Because there is no air in space, the shock wave cannot be transmitted.At the same time, the temperature in space is extremely low, and the effectiveness of thermal radiation will also drop sharply.

The only thing that can cause damage is the energy released at the moment of the explosion.

Therefore, this ultimate weapon that can destroy the world on the water blue planet is nothing more than a powerful conventional shell in a real space battle.

In a word, it is unrealistic to use nuclear bombs on the moon to quickly destroy the swarm.

Zhang Xiaoman thought a lot at this moment.

For him, Shuilanxing is his hometown and the foundation of his development.

He will never allow any mistakes here.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at the system interface opened in front of him, where there was a special item that should be able to solve the current trouble.
