Chapter 258 Dramatic changes in the mother star (2)

"The tragedy on Colonial Star No. 7 was committed by the former government. The real situation is that a special form of life attacked the local colonial outpost, and this special form of existence is most likely related to the former government."

"We do use fission warheads, but it is to destroy its nest and prevent this special life form from continuing to spread and pose a threat to other colonial stars. Otherwise, the entire civilization will perish."

"The former government not only did nothing, but also shamelessly framed the accident, claiming that we were responsible for the accident. We hereby declare that we are all Ezki people and we also hope that civilization can develop in a better direction. "

"The previous government's resistance to new things seriously hindered the development of civilization. We promise to build a new, more efficient and equal society to make Ezki great again."

What everyone did not expect was that after countless physical strangulations and public opinion offensives, the Ascension Sect was not only not wiped out completely, but also accumulated more powerful power, so much so that it directly seized the control of its home planet.

It happened in just a few days, but the change of power hardly came to a standstill, and there was no chaos at all. It was as if everything was not an armed coup, but just a peaceful transfer of power.

The only conflicts were at several large quantum communication arrays connected to the colonial stars, as well as the command headquarters in contact with the exploration fleet. The exploration fleet's connection with the home planet was completely severed. Two of the colonial stars have also lost contact. I don’t know what the situation is.

But between the home planet and the colonial star that has not lost contact, it seems that the Ascension Cult has already penetrated into every aspect of Ezki society. Under the leadership of a group of people from all walks of life who don’t know whether they were really penetrated early or what, Society quickly resumed operations.

A series of new government orders were promulgated, most of which were rest and recuperation policies to temporarily appease the people's livelihood. Only one was slightly different - that is, to repeal all the previous government bans on artificial intelligence and close the "dyke" firewall system.

The existence of a super artificial intelligence named "Deep Sea" was subsequently disclosed. Its ontology will have amazing computing power, and the new government promises that it will be applied in all aspects of production and life, greatly improving the efficiency of social operations. .

Sometimes, ignorance is also happiness. Ordinary Ezki citizens will never know the truth behind all this, but this also prevents them from being targeted by unintentional conspiracy - whether the conspiracy is true or false.

But for the Fifth Deep Space Exploration Fleet, which is light years away at this time, the situation is not that simple.

But, in fact, the best way to cover up a conspiracy perfectly is to fabricate a conspiracy theory that is far from the truth and publicize it so as to mislead. Sometimes, conspiracy theories exist precisely to conceal the real conspiracy.

Of course, there are naturally some conspiracy theories and so on, and there is no lack of market. The new Ezki government that just came to power turned a deaf ear to this and acquiesced in all this happening.

The large crustacean carrying Warmani and all other crew members slowly drove into the inland river. Along the river, huge structures appeared in the field of vision from time to time. They seemed to be entities similar to launch vehicles, but their textures were weird.

Its body is okay, but what's underneath it should be the structure of a launch platform, like a huge shell-footed creature with its back facing the sky. It seems to be a biological structure. It makes the body that looks like a rocket look out of place.

The other party is a civilization that has reached the pinnacle in the biological field. There is no doubt about this. But results similar to the Rockets gave Warmani some hesitation - this was inconsistent with some of the technical levels shown by the opponent. But no matter what, from the perspective of the Ezki people, using biological structures to compete with metal is already quite an achievement. Perhaps this civilization has other unique features.

While thinking about it, the scientific research ships in the fleet and the steel structures built around them came into view, including more terrestrial crustaceans surrounding them.

Some people present who had seen the signals returned by previous scientific research ships had recognized those large terrestrial crustaceans with six legs and a pair of claw blades and a relatively slender body. They were the ones that had been captured by previous scientific research ships. The guy who is privately called the "blue blood monster".

On the Ezki home planet, almost all living things use iron ions to transport oxygen, so the blood is red. Only a very small number of living things on this planet use copper-containing blue blood. Now it seems that It's all related.

At this time, the "blue blood monsters" lined up on both sides to clear a path. Immediately, the large aquatic shellfish swung their bodies one after another, rushed to the beach, and stabilized their bodies.

Immediately, the large shell-footed creature with membrane wings, flexible, knuckled forelimbs, and the ability to speak Ezki language. It seemed to be the individual body of the opponent's civilization. It sent out a burst of light signals, then stretched out its forelimbs and pointed. Pointing to the scientific research ship on the side.

The hatch has been opened, and he walked straight into the cabin. After a period of disinfection, he entered the inner cabin again. Warmani suddenly discovered that the original crew members on the scientific research ship, the light signals emitted by the pair of degenerate appendages on their heads were somewhat dim - And before he could speak, someone had already spoken out the reason for all this.

"There is news from the home planet."

On the degenerated appendage on the head, the light signal suddenly flashed, telling the owner of the limb the complicated thoughts. Then, after taking a deep breath to calm down, Warmani asked the question he wanted to know the most.

"What's going on?"

"The mother planet was attacked by unknown forces." The man was obviously hesitant, but in the end, he still told the truth, "The situation is unknown, but the odds are against the odds. The exploration fleet has been notified to implement the plan."

What was supposed to come, came anyway. Not only him, but most of the crew already guessed what happened the moment the connection to the home star was disconnected, but they still had the last bit of luck in their hearts and were unwilling to face the result.

He took a long breath and looked at the top of his forelimb, where a smaller shell-footed creature was clinging to it. A pair of mixed eyes faced his eyes, shining with a luster that he didn't know what they meant.

That was the other party's method of communicating with members of the fleet - the other party's form of existence was indescribably weird, but after all, there was indeed a way to directly and conveniently contact him. He could only accept that this was more of a method of surveillance than contact.

In any case, reaching cooperation with the other party is the only hope for the entire exploration fleet to preserve the spark of civilization, rebuild civilization, and even take revenge on the existence that attacked and possibly destroyed the home planet.
