The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 261 Formal Cooperation (2)

Regarding the current situation and needs, Lin Yi did not hide anything - the ghost parasitized in the brain by the carpet structure has confirmed that the opponent's home planet has indeed been attacked and cut off contact. In a short period of time, contact will not be restored again. possible.

What was cut off seemed to be a means of quantum communication. According to the information heard by the insider, once this kind of device was completely cut off, it could no longer resume operation.

As for relying on traditional electromagnetic waves to transmit information, regardless of whether the other party has such a large device that has emitted a signal strong enough to span light years, on the scale of the universe measured in light years, when the news reaches the other party's home star, Daylily will It's cold.

This also means that the other party now has no way to contact the home star. It is isolated and helpless. Even the battleship has crash-landed into the planet's atmosphere. It has no ability to fight back. It does not find that he is not as difficult to deal with as he imagined. He directly shouts to the home star to shake people. possible.

At this time, in the huge room, countless people were gathered around a table similar to that of later generations, but with a different structure due to the completely different body structure of the Ezki people, and flickering light signals echoed in the cabin.

On the table in the middle is a huge insect that is twenty to thirty centimeters long. Its structure still retains the characteristics of ancient Dictyoptera insects, but its wings are completely retracted to the side, and the end of its slender abdomen also has a piece like a later firefly. luminous structure.

This is a small nest individual that Lin Yi randomly created, similar to the ancient reticulata. It is equipped with a structure that can emit Ezki language, including acoustic signals and light signals, and can communicate with each other without any barriers. .

The Shadowfly's body is too large and has aggressive bladed appendages, making it unsuitable for entering the opponent's ship for communication. Therefore, this relatively small guy came into being and took on the important task of communication between civilizations.

"Then, the first condition is that we need all the technical data on the battleship's reactor and hyperdrive."

"You no longer have the interstellar navigation power available, so you can only rebuild the industrial system here and produce new warships again. And this process will definitely take a long time. Unknown forces attacking your home planet may happen at any time. Discover what exists here.”

Raising his head, Warmani's eyes seemed to penetrate the ceiling of the cabin, looking directly at the stars in the sky. The twinkling main star of Ezki witnessed the existence of Ezki through all its decline and prosperity. .

What should be pointed out has been made clear, and Lin Yi stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point, telling what he was most concerned about, the issue of obtaining the opponent's technology.

There was silence for a while on the field. Lin Yi explained the situation before. For the current exploration fleet, this seems to be the best method - but this means that the initiative has been completely handed over and no longer has any utilization value.

"And we have strong productivity ready-made. Whether you want to transfer quickly or gather available troops to return to the home star in a short time, cooperation with us is the best way."

His intuition told him that the decision he faced might not only involve the exploration fleet, but the entire Ezki civilization - the ultimate fate of the entire civilization seemed to be in the hands of him, the supreme commander of the exploration fleet. In the hands of officials.

At this moment, his thoughts seemed to span the distance of light years, and he once again set his sights on the life star that gave birth to a variety of living things, including the Ezki people. The blue ocean, the emerald green land and the white clouds dotting them are clearly visible, so magnificent.

With a long sigh, as if accepting his fate, the light signals on the pair of degenerated appendages changed like a revolving door. Finally, he made up his mind and spoke slowly. "We will provide all related technologies such as battleship reactors and weapon systems, as well as hyperspace engines, but there are some conditions."

He didn't know how future generations would evaluate him and this exploration fleet. But he knew one thing - if you don't make the right choices now, there will be no hereafter. All he can do is strive for greater benefits for Ezki as much as possible.

"Tell me, what are the conditions?"

There was a strange emotion in the flashing light signal on the body of the crustacean. Somehow, Warmani always felt that it was a hunter who was not in a hurry to kill the prey, but was watching the struggle of the prey with interest. .

"Let go of the remaining Ezki exploration fleet, and as long as you are willing to take action after obtaining relevant technology, relieve the crisis. No, to avenge the compatriots on the home planet, we guarantee that the remaining Ezki exploration fleet will be with New Ezki Ki civilization will become your most loyal ally.”

When it comes to the home planet, there is inevitably a hint of sadness in his words - the sudden rebellion of the two battleships and transport ships No. 114 and 115, the unilateral failure of the friend-or-foe identification system, and the home star's fall to this point in a very short time, all seem to indicate that , the enemy is stronger than ever.

The mother planet has probably fallen. When everything is ready, all they can do is take revenge on the existence that destroyed the mother star.

The other party's eyes were shining with an unknown emotion. Seeing this, he added again: "Otherwise, we will use the only remaining quantum communication system to control the fusion reactors on the scientific research ships and those warships to enter the autonomous environment. Destroy the program."

"That's it? If that's all, I can accept it."

Unexpectedly, the other party readily agreed to these conditions without any hesitation, which gave Warmani a bad feeling.

When he learned that the other party still maintained the last vestige of control over those warships, Lin Yi was secretly glad that he had not made a hasty move - as expected, the other party still had a hold on them.

If the nuclear fusion reactor that can drive a spacecraft for interstellar navigation is relaxed and converted into uncontrollable nuclear fusion, which is what later generations call a hydrogen bomb, the power of the explosion will probably be no less than that of Ivan the Great or the Tsar Bomba.

However, he was prepared, so he didn't take it to heart - if he really wanted to take action, he could just wait and see for a while. When the carpet spores parasitized all the individuals, the other party's threat would have no effect.

Once the carpet spores successfully parasitize the brain nerves, even if the operation steps are as simple as pressing a button, Lin Yi can make the opponent lose control of his nerves, lose control of his body, or even be directly brain-dead one second before pressing it. Not to mention, there must be a complicated detonation procedure.

However, retrieval of memory is still somewhat complicated and may not be successful. Therefore, Lin Yi did not intend to directly kill people and silence them, but still followed the original plan and continued to find ways to squeeze out the last remaining value of these Ezki people before deciding how to dispose of them.
