Chapter 15 This hive has many friends
"Residents on Sende, please don't panic. The Sende government has actively started negotiations with the swarm creatures. Peace negotiations are currently proceeding in an orderly manner. In order to protect the personal and property safety of Sende residents, all cities on Sende will implement Temporary military control, walking on the street will be regarded as illegal behavior and will be arrested immediately, please stay at home and don’t walk around at will..."

The radio said the same words over and over again. The young Dias children were lying on the window sill blankly, looking at the object in the sky that blocked the sky.

It was a planet inhabited by a large number of swarm creatures. Just a day ago, this foreign object that did not belong to this star system suddenly appeared near the industrial star Sende, and the entire industrial star immediately entered a total martial law. state.

The industrial star Sende does not have a satellite like the moon. Every night, when you look up at the sky, you can only see the stars dotted across the sky.

Like now, there is a "moon" hanging high in the sky, but it is rare.

The young Dias child seemed bored, turned his head and went downstairs, and saw his father sitting in the living room, who seemed to be on guard for something.

The Dias child walked over, grasping his father's strong and strong arms with his small hands anxiously, and asked the silent father with his four eyes anxiously.

"Father, we're going to be saved, aren't we?"

"Yes, our government will protect us." On the slightly tired face of the Dias man, there was a trace of gentleness, and he stroked his child's little head.

Such reassurance relieved the uneasy heart of the young Dias child.

In his small world, his father is always the reliable existence that stands upright, and if his father says it's okay, then it's okay.

However, when the child shifted his eyes to the shooter tightly held by his father's other hand, he couldn't help asking in doubt: "...then father, why do you keep holding the weapon?"

"because……"

The Dias were about to speak, when suddenly, a violent roar enveloped them.

boom!
The wall of the house exploded, and the debris flew, and the Dias people only had time to protect their children behind them, and a large number of debris directly pierced into the Dias people's flesh and blood.

In just a split second, the Dias man was seriously injured and lost his ability to move.

"Hahaha, robbery! Get out of the people who live in it! Put all the valuable things in the car for me!"

Someone was talking outside the house, and the child clearly saw two soldiers wearing outer armor from the gap between his father's arms, one of them was holding a smoking heavy individual weapon, and a heavy heavy vehicle was parked beside him. Armored vehicles, the most eye-catching position on the armored vehicles is the military emblem of the empire, which symbolizes the highest glory.

"You, you are soldiers of the empire?!" The child who was protected by his father was shocked, his young three views were shocked, and he couldn't understand it. He used glory as the supreme to defend the people. Why did you attack him and his father as a soldier who is on his own mission?

"Why, why..." The child spoke intermittently with an expression of disbelief.

Seeing the child's expression, the soldier who blasted the wall with a weapon sneered back and asked: "Boy, Sunder is going to be destroyed, do you really think there are people who care about you?"

As he said that, the soldier stepped forward, ignoring the seriously injured body of the other party, and kicked the child's father mercilessly.

"Hey, don't play dead for me, tell us quickly, where are the valuables?"

"Otherwise I cannot guarantee his safety."

The soldier took out the large shooter he carried with him, aimed at the child under the Dias man, and threatened them mercilessly.

The child who was protected under his father stared blankly at the gun aimed at him, was too frightened to speak, and even had shortness of breath. For the first time in his life, he realized that his great father also had protection. When you can't live with him.

Another soldier standing outside the house added persuasively: "We only want to make money, not kill. I hope you will cooperate with us."

"Here, cough, in the basement..." the child's father said with difficulty.

Under the guidance of the Dias people's words, the two soldiers entered the basement and moved out a large safe with a side length of two meters. If it weren't for the strength provided by the outer armor, the two imperial soldiers could not move even a centimeter.

Being crushed by his seriously injured father, the child could not see what the two soldiers were doing, he could only vaguely hear their conversation.

"Good guy, the thing is so heavy, it can't be seen that this family is quite rich, and it seems that other civilians were searched in peacetime."

"This family has children, shouldn't they save some?" One of the soldiers still kept the last bit of conscience.

"What to keep! We're not the only ones who want to use it! When the negotiations with the swarm organisms are over and the spores are fully infected, you know how much the price of the flight to leave will increase... Huh? Why are you floating?" .” The words of the imperial soldiers revealed panic about unknown changes.

"You too, what's going on?!"

Afterwards, the child only heard a series of "click" sounds, and the talking imperial soldiers were silent again.

At this time, the father was seriously injured and unconscious. Although the anxious child was afraid, he still had the courage to crawl out from under his father.

When he looked in the direction of the imperial soldiers, he saw only two spheres made of flesh and metal.

In the place where the heavily armored vehicle was originally parked, there was no vehicle to be seen, only a larger metal sphere, as if forcibly kneaded by some extremely terrifying external force.

"What's going on?" the child murmured blankly, his poor cognition couldn't explain what he saw in front of him.

On the other side, in the Chamber of Deputies of the administrative center of Sende, the swarm creature said to the Governor of Sende Star: "The rebel army in Asta City of Sende Star has been completely cleared, and we will continue the negotiation."

"Thank you for your assistance, let's continue."

……

The industrial star Sender is one of the important industrial hubs of the Dias Empire. It took three centuries to operate. There are large and small factories on the surface, ranging from rough processing to fine processing.

Taking down this planet has both a strategic purpose and a tentative purpose.

If such an important planet, the Dias Empire fails to send a large fleet to prevent the swarm from attacking, it means that the Dias Empire is indeed shrinking its power to a more important place, trading space for time and planning other things .

"Industrial star Sende is completely infected." The individual of the bee colony reported to Lu Entropy.

Lu Entropy nodded, and then said: "Well, trade the warships you bring to them, and then go to the next administrative star of the Dias Empire."

Every time a planet is infected, Lu Entropy will hand over some of the warships captured in the Battle of the Bogu Nebula to the other party in the form of a transaction.

The purpose of this is to make these planets have a certain ability to protect themselves, so that they will not easily succumb to the power of the Dias Empire.

Either the Dias Empire can only treat the people of the Dias Empire infected by the swarm spores on the planet in a gentle way, or it loses part of its military power and robs the planet by armed forces to start a big cleansing.

The latter must be a relatively large loss, after all, no one wants to die if nothing happens.

As long as the Dias Empire keeps these infected people, Lu Entropy's goal will be achieved.

"Mastermind, we have doubts about your decision." The individual bee colony who was performing the next task expressed his thoughts to Lu Entropy through the psionic network.

Lu Entropy was stunned for a moment, and then he was very pleasantly surprised: "Yes, this is a very good phenomenon, which shows that you have begun to know how to think independently. It seems that the master brain that has been upgraded for you is still useful."

He needs the creatures of the hive to think, even if they think about weird things all day long.

This is not useless, but a manifestation of expanding thinking, and after the brain thinking is expanded, it can break the rigid thinking of the bee colony before.

This is an excellent phenomenon!
Lu Entropy was in a good mood, and he signaled: "What's the question? You can ask."

The swarm instance asks, "Why do we bother to infect the enemy's instances on the planet?"

"And the infection is so strange? We can't understand the significance of the mastermind's decision."

According to the past, when bee colonies infect other races, they directly infect each other into bee colony creatures. How can they make them stronger after infecting each other?

What's the point of this?
It's not just the individual bee colony who can't understand Lu Entropy's operation, but the bee colony performing the task also can't understand it.

"Because my strategic thinking is 'to make as few enemies as possible, and to make as many friends as possible'." Lu Entropy replied.

"Friends? We want to get along with other races?" The individual in the bee colony asked strangely.

The bee colony didn't understand the concept of friends, but after learning about other races, they also understood the concept of "friends".

But compared to the tasks that Lu Entropy gave, the individuals in the bee colony didn't feel at all that these tasks had anything to do with making 'friends'.

"No no no, you completely misunderstood what I meant by 'friend'."

Lu Entropy shook his head, and then explained: "There is a saying in my hometown, the enemy's enemy is a friend, why is it a friend? Because you can use the enemy's enemy to achieve your own strategic goals."

"And the purpose of letting you infect the aliens on those planets is to win them over and use them to create a strategic advantage for our future military operations."

The inquiring bee swarm individuals simply flipped through their memories, and then asked inexplicably: "...to win? But many of them are afraid of bee swarms, and many of them even fled to other places in the Galaxy Alliance, and the infected Those planets are basically willing to stand on the same front as the bee swarm."

Lu Entropy couldn't hold back a smile for a while, and then said: "You still got it wrong."

"Why must wooing be at the social level? Before an intelligent individual is an intelligent individual, it is first a lump of matter, second is a living creature, and finally is an intelligent individual with the ability to think."

"The essence of wooing is to use."

"We can't use each other at the social level, so we can use each other biologically, and we can also use each other materially, such as infecting the planet."

"The aliens on the planet will definitely panic after being infected, and the panic will inevitably lead them to flee to a safe place, and we only need to find a way to unilaterally share all the senses of these aliens, and they will become one by one. A group of living monitors deployed in the enemy camp."

As long as these infected people on the planet escape to other planets, or somewhere else, the bee colony that shares their senses with them can also expand the intelligence network to somewhere.

Even if it is to build some secret weapon, the engineering designer will always need it, right?Martial law soldiers always need it, right?Workers for complex jobs are always needed, right?

Okay, artificial intelligence can do all these things, but those leaders don't have family and friends?

Don't you accidentally slip up when you talk about the family's short stories?

You are a huge civilization, you need people to run it, right?

As long as there are enough infections, passers-by on the side of the road can be the intelligence monitors of the swarm. How do you hide what your own civilization is going to do?
