Chapter 347 The Threat of the Herald Imperial Fleet

This is the first time Xu Lei has used the modified rail gun weapon on his left arm.

Before that, he never thought that it would be used on alien life first. He can only say that many things are already predestined.

Uzi terraforms Pluto.

Caused human civilization to lose more than half of its population.

Forced to carry out interstellar migration.

This responsibility must be resisted.

If Uzi hadn't transmitted the information of the solar system to the Herald Empire and led Mesti into the solar system, then he wouldn't have died on Earth today.

I'm afraid even Uzi himself didn't expect such a result.

She escaped Mesti's punishment, but died in Xu Lei's hands.

You must know that according to the average life expectancy of the pioneer empire, he is equivalent to less than half of it now.

Naturally, I don't want to die.

Unfortunately, the moment he chose to step into the solar system, he had already lost the right to choose.

It's just that he didn't know if he had any regrets in the second before he died?
The sudden change also made Mesti and other ordinary pioneers stunned. They never expected that the two sides were still negotiating one second, and an ambassador-level pioneer would die in the next second.

No reaction time at all.

But in the current situation, no one dared to say anything more.

Even Mesti is no exception.

After all, as a member of the royal family, he would not put himself in danger for an ambassador-level pioneer. Who can guarantee that Xu Lei will not attack him.

Besides, people are already dead anyway.

Feeling the cool wind blowing from the forest on his face, Xu Lei slowly put down his left hand, stared blankly at the shattered body of Uzi, and uttered a word in a cold voice again.

"Collecting interest first this time will be considered cheap for you."

The Harbinger Empire has done so much damage to human civilization.

There has long been a deadly enmity between the two civilizations.

Naturally, it was impossible for Xu Lei to shake hands with the Herald Empire just because of Uzi's death.

Right now it can only be counted as interest.

Besides, compared to these ordinary pioneers who will be sent to the Lunar Future Science and Technology Research Department, it is really cheaper for them to directly let Uzi receive the boxed lunch.

Mainly facing the chief culprit of the catastrophe on Pluto, not killing is not enough to anger the people.

However, Xu Lei is quite satisfied with the power of the small railgun weapon in his left arm.

Although the meteorite was used for testing after the transformation was completed, it has not been used on the enemy so far. Today, this achievement has finally been achieved, especially the fragmentation effect produced after the warhead touches the target, which makes people feel full of excitement. sense of security.

Even Xu Lei felt that even if Uzi wore the light armor made by the Herald Empire, the result would still be the same.

for the rest of the time.

Consider the fleet of the Herald Empire a threat.

New countermeasures need to be developed.

And because this forest has just experienced a battle, some pioneer corpses and stumps can be seen everywhere. Although the mechanical lifeform can turn off the sense of smell, it still looks disgusting.

So Xu Lei also planned to return to Longfor High-tech Park first.

And he didn't intend to waste these dead pioneer bodies, and planned to let the Space Force collect them all, and then transport them to the scientific research departments on the moon and Mars.

Thinking that it may bring a lot of scientific research value.

With the brain running quickly, he quickly planned the follow-up arrangements and gave instructions to the people around him.

"Put electronic shackles on them, and then transport them to the scientific research departments of Taiyin City and Mars City. Maybe we can find a way for humans to return to Earth from them."

"And don't waste these corpses on the ground."

"As for the fallen medium-sized battleship, first find a way to transport it to the park, and Xingtong and I will decipher the information inside."

Seeing that the battle was basically over, Xu Lei didn't hesitate at this moment. After saying these words, he immediately turned and walked towards the landing ship, preparing to return to Longhu High-tech Park in Binjiang City.

He didn't look at Mesti and other pioneers at all.

After all, they have basically lost their value in some respects.

That's what's left for research.

Mainly in Xu Lei's view, since these pioneers are all carbon-based life forms, they are not affected by the dead matter on the planet.

Maybe some conclusions can be drawn from their bodies.

In this way, if human beings are immune to the influence of this substance, they can return to the planet Earth.

To know the history of human civilization over 5000 years, everyone is still very nostalgic, especially the Yan people.

Besides, although Taiyin City and Mars City are good, they cannot compare with Earth Star.

Of course, this is just Xu Lei's idea. Whether they can really research anything depends on Qin Xiaoman's efforts.

The medium battleship that crashed in the forest.

Although the power engine and hull were damaged in many places, it still has high research value.

In addition to adding a main ship to the alliance's fleet after repairing it, the various information recorded in the key is extremely valuable, so Xu Lei asked someone to transport it to the Longfor High-tech Park.

He believed that with his overclocking state and the powerful function of Xingtong brain, he could definitely decipher the battleship.

Getting the information inside is no problem.

Because it can be seen from this battle that the warship manufacturing technology owned by the Herald Empire is indeed far more advanced than that of humans, but due to the existence of star pupils, this puts them at a disadvantage in the field of intelligence and brain.

Naturally, Xingtong would not have any doubts about Xu Lei's order.

Dang even followed up.

Lei Zhan and Zhang Jingtong still need to stay here to take command temporarily, so they have to separate first.

It's just that when the two of them sent Xu Lei and Xingtong to board the landing ship, their faces looked weird, as if they wanted to say something in their hearts but didn't know how to say it.

It wasn't until the landing ship took off that the two sighed softly.

Sad face.

"Hey~"

Then the two looked up at each other, and finally Lei Zhan spoke first: "Uncle Zhang, did you think Mr. Xu didn't hear it just now?"

"Probably not." Zhang Jingtong shook his head.

When Xu Lei and Mesti were talking just now, they heard that the fleet of the Herald Empire had already known the location of the solar system, and their hearts were almost in their throats.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to taste the joy of victory, he was poured another pot of cold water on his head.

They know better than anything about the strength they have now.

Relying on these small warships of the alliance alone, they can't even compare to an enemy battleship if they encounter it head-on.

How to fight against a powerful fleet.

In their view, the fleet of the Herald Empire was all medium-sized warships.

The technological level of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

It's a pity that Xu Lei didn't seem to have heard of such a major event related to the safety of human civilization, and he didn't talk about this issue in the follow-up.

What made them anxious was almost about to take the initiative to speak.

After all, to know such important information under normal circumstances, one should find a way to learn more from Mesti.

But because Xu Lei has his own rhythm, they dare not interrupt rashly.

I had to forcefully press it in my heart.

The key point is that everyone didn't know Xu Lei for the first time. They knew that he was a very thorough and decisive person who could create miracles, so he shouldn't have missed such important information.

At this moment, Zhang Jingtong seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said to Lei Zhan: "Let's trust Mr. Xu, maybe he has his own judgment, what we have to do is to follow the order as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he still didn't forget to turn his head and glance at Mesti.

The meaning I want to express is self-evident.

Apparently Zhang Jingtong was worried that Lei Zhan would ask about the Mesti fleet himself.

If it really affects Xu Lei's overall situation, it will only make the situation more complicated by doing bad things with good intentions.

Lei Zhan has been with Xu Lei for such a long time, so he doesn't know what Zhang Jingtong means at this moment, so he immediately promised: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, I still have this point."

After speaking, he turned around and told the surrounding Space Forces: "You have heard what the congressman said just now, so let's take time to act."

"Yes, sir."

-

Mesti voluntarily announced his surrender, and took out a special metal with high value.

I just want to fight for some rights for myself.

But now he finds that's not the case.

From the beginning to the end, the other party did not give him any promises.

Seeing his subordinates die tragically in front of his own eyes, he didn't really feel regret until he and other ordinary pioneers were put on electronic shackles.

Know how ridiculous your own thoughts are.

They have already invaded other people's planets, so how can they ask others to treat themselves preferentially.

If he knew that as a member of the royal family, he would become a prisoner of others, he would never have entered the solar system no matter what.

But it's too late to regret now.

And he doesn't know what will be waiting for him in the next time.

It is worth mentioning that because the live broadcast on the Weilan website did not stop because of Xu Lei's arrival, when the audience saw Xu Lei's figure again, they immediately fell into excitement and ecstasy.

The number of bullet screens showed explosive growth.

The main reason is that the Shenzhou was destroyed before, and there was no related news in the follow-up. Almost many people believed that Xu Lei had probably died in this war with extraterrestrial civilizations.

Seeing that Xu Lei is safe and sound now.

And started exchanges with extraterrestrial civilizations.

The worried heart was finally completely relaxed.

Especially after seeing that Xu Lei personally executed the chief culprit who caused the disaster on Pluto, he was even more gratified.

Knowing that Xu Lei is still the Xu Lei who always stands in front of human beings.

"I knew Mr. Xu must be fine, as expected!"

"Thank God for blessing, as long as Mr. Xu and future technology exist, our human civilization will continue to develop."

"Good kill!"

"Invading other people's civilization for no reason, death is not a pity!"

"I didn't expect such a catastrophe caused by such an insect, it should be shredded into pieces, and it's hard to dispel the hatred in everyone's heart.

"As Mr. Xu said, this is just charging some interest first."

"I hope that one day, we will be able to hit the lair of this pioneer civilization and let them experience the taste of invasion."

"I like the method of repaying the body in the same way as the person."

"There are still so many extraterrestrial beings alive, which should provide us with a lot of experimental materials."

……

Since the communication between Xu Lei and Mesti is through brain wave translation at the spiritual level, only the people present can know the consciousness of Mesti, and the audience watching the live broadcast can only guess based on Xu Lei's words.

It is also based on this point that the outside world does not know about the Herald Empire Fleet for the time being.

Still maintain a happy mood.

But for ordinary people, this is not a good thing.

After all, the fleet of the Herald Empire is still far away from the solar system, and it may take decades to arrive. If you know it in advance, you will only live in fear and worry all day long.

What a waste of good time.

Instead, enjoy life to the fullest.

Part of the reason why Xu Lei didn't talk too much about the mess with Mo Si was that he didn't want too many people to know.

In any case, the time left for human civilization is still sufficient.

A few decades is enough to change a lot of things.

You must know that when Pluto was discovered, the time left for human beings was only seven or eight years.

Although in the end, human beings paid a heavy price because of the transformed Pluto.

But this time, as long as they are properly prepared, they should be able to avoid this new catastrophe and end this interstellar battle with more appropriate means.

For this reason, Taiyin City and Mars City released a lot of rule information on the same day to celebrate the victory and Xu Lei's safety, which can be said to be a carnival in the true sense of human beings.

Mainly in the eyes of ordinary people, human civilization is finally safe.

However, this kind of information may not be known to ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from the members of the Human Security Alliance.

For the coalition members, they obviously did not expect the truth of the matter to be like this.

Humanity has just achieved a great victory, and before it has time to celebrate the joy, it encounters a more troublesome and difficult crisis.

The key point is that judging from the current strength of human beings, it is difficult to gain an advantage.

For this reason, many people wanted to contact Xu Lei, hoping to get a solution from Xu Lei.

After going through so many things, everyone knows very well that Xu Lei must bear the brunt of whoever has the ability to keep the continuation of human civilization.

So in this case, we can only rely on Xu Lei.

Their ideas are very simple, hoping that this time will be the same as last time, Xu Lei will formulate a suitable response plan, and then the alliance will fully implement it, thinking that it can be completed in decades.

But what they didn't expect was that Xu Lei couldn't be contacted at all.

……

……

Xu Lei is well aware of the current difficulties faced by human civilization, but as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

It is not so simple to find a way to deal with the Herald Empire fleet.

What's more, for Xu Lei, the most important thing is to study the special metal living gold and decipher the information in the battleship.

Others are not important.

Therefore, in order to prevent himself from being disturbed, Xu Lei deliberately turned off his contact with the outside world.

And also told Xingtong to set up protection.

So much so that if you want to find Xu Lei, you have to go to Dixing Longhu High-tech Park in person.

But this is something ordinary people cannot do.

Knowing the current situation, even if the members of the alliance were worried, they had to wait patiently, and did not dare to disturb Xu Lei forcibly.

Thursday, June 2046, 9.

Earth star.

Binjiang City.

Longhu Hi-Tech Park.

In the laboratory, Xu Lei conducted various tests on this dark golden special metal live gold.

After returning from the forest where the pioneers lost, all his attention was on this special metal.

can be determined.

Something that can be regarded as a living treasure by members of the royal family of the Herald Empire definitely has a special function. After all, according to what the other party said, it is worth millions of galactic coins.

First of all, this living gold is different from any material known to mankind.

It is even impossible to judge whether it was born naturally, or a product of a so-called mechanical civilization.

The most important thing is that Xu Lei doesn't know how to use it.

If Mesti is right, this living gold can be of great help to his amorphous alloy mechanical body, and it may enter a whole new level.

Xu Lei didn't think Mosti would lie about this.

You must know that the way they communicate is at the level of mental brainwaves, and Xu Lei also turned on the overclocking state during the conversation. If Mosti has other thoughts in his mind or deliberately deceives him, he will definitely be able to perceive it.

Besides, the other party is very aware of their situation.

Since they all chose to voluntarily surrender, they must want to save their own lives.

How could he do such a self-defeating thing.

Even Xu Lei thought that even Mesti himself didn't know much about this living gold, let alone how to use it.

Who made their pioneers also be carbon-based life forms, and they certainly don't know much about mechanical civilization.

Although the amorphous alloy mechanical body is stronger than the original human beings, its potential is far inferior. At the beginning, Xu Lei had no choice but to upload his consciousness and embarked on the road of mechanical ascension because of his own reasons.

Including all members of the Space Force, they were also forced to become mechanical life forms under the influence of dead matter.

However, once the consciousness is fused with the amorphous alloy mechanical body, it cannot be replaced again, and the consciousness will gradually dissipate as the body ages.

At that time, it is death in the true sense.

After all, there is still an essential difference between human consciousness and intelligent brain life like Xingtong.

This time is about 500 years.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Lei does not allow other people to upload consciousness rashly in the mechanical life management regulations.

Even Chen Shihe and his parents are ordinary people.

Perhaps the average life expectancy of human beings over 100 years old cannot be compared with that of mechanical bodies, but with the development of technology and the upgrading of gene optimization fluids, the human body may be able to break through its own limits and reach a very terrifying level.

For example, the pioneer empire civilization.

Both are carbon-based life forms, but they have a long lifespan.

If Xu Lei wanted to prolong his existence, he could only use his current body.

Originally, he wanted to see if he could find a suitable solution in the Science and Technology Museum after solving this crisis. After all, the number of influence points has reached more than 7000 million.

It may not be possible to pay for the technology of the third-level civilization, but it is basically random in the second-level civilization.

But I didn't expect to get such a special metal from a certain mechanical civilization from Mesti this time.

It might surprise him.

"This thing is really special. With the current level of technology, I can't test anything." Xu Lei, who held the live gold in his hand again, looked at it carefully and murmured softly to himself.

After staying in the laboratory for an hour or so, various methods were used to deal with this living gold, but none of them were found.

Faced with this situation, Xu Lei was inevitably a little irritable.

Got such a valuable thing, but don't know how to use it.

It is indeed annoying.

But just after he finished saying this, a possibility came to his mind as he ran his mind quickly.

His eyes lit up immediately.

"By the way, is this living gold similar in nature to amorphous alloys, requiring energy stimulation to change?"

"It's entirely possible."

"Try first before talking."

Xu Lei's thoughts are not complicated.

Under normal circumstances, the characteristics of amorphous alloy are similar to those of human muscles. It is a relatively soft, elastic and memory material, but it will become very hard under the stimulation of energy, thus exerting stronger performance in battle.

If you follow this line of thinking to deduce.

Perhaps as long as energy is poured into this living gold, it will be able to change.

Of course, ordinary energy is definitely not enough.

The energy device at Xu Lei's heart is the Qiankun No. [-] nuclear fusion reaction device, which can maintain him in an overclocked state for hundreds of years.

The energy intensity is naturally beyond doubt.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei no longer has any hesitation. After placing the living gold in the palm of his right hand, he decisively calls the energy in the nuclear fusion reaction device, transmits it to the palm of his hand through his right arm, and then emits a blue faint light.

Even if the laboratory is well lit, it still cannot hide this color.

What made Xu Lei feel even more weird was that under the scouring of this energy, the already soft living gold turned into liquid directly, and melted into the arm without any control.

"What's going on, bastard!"

The sudden change can be said to have taken Xu Lei by surprise, and subconsciously wanted to throw out the live gold in his hand temporarily.

After all, it is very dangerous to rush into one's own body without knowing the real situation of the other party. If the body is damaged, it will be too late to regret.

However, the fusion speed of this living gold is really amazing, and it has completely disappeared by the time Xu Lei reacts.

On the contrary, a large number of golden silk threads began to spread along the wrist to the limbs of the body.

It was as if two special substances had reacted.

In just a few tens of seconds, the dark golden thread almost covered his whole body.

Even the skin-like nanomaterials sprayed on the body surface were removed, revealing the original silver body of amorphous alloy.

It's just that now the entire silver body is covered with golden silk threads.

It looked very weird.

Fortunately, Xu Lei didn't feel any discomfort.

Immediately afterwards, after noticing that his body was no longer changing, he was slightly relieved, and began to feel and observe the situation of his body seriously.

Soon.

Then he made an astonishing discovery.

With the current body, after releasing nuclear fusion energy again, the body is like a liquid and can change shape at will according to the control of consciousness.

To put it simply, not only can he transform his arm into a weapon, but he can also change his shape and appearance. In the future, he will not even need to spray the nano-skin-like material.

But he doesn't think that's all there is to it.

After confirming that he was in good condition, Dang even walked to another laboratory next to him, preparing to conduct a detailed test on his current body.

Perhaps this will bring him unexpected surprises.
