Beneath Deep Space

With a lot of damage to the spacecraft, the new humanity once again shrank its front line, showing signs of retreat. Such a big loss is really unbearable.

However, the Antaike civilization did not pursue it forcefully, and the losses for them were equally great. After being wiped out by nuclear bombs, even the firepower of the metal planet was greatly weakened.

Moreover, all the flagships of the New Humanity, that is, the main force, are still out of the attack range of the battle stars. They still may not be able to win the New Humanity side.

"retreat!"

"The first formation goes first!"

Just like that, the Future was at the end, covering all the spacecraft and gradually leaving, leaving only various sizes of space junk behind.

These space junks are like mist in the starry sky, distributed in millions of cubic kilometers of space. They move much faster than bullets and can easily scratch the deck of a spacecraft, making it extremely difficult to recycle them.

After launching several giant nuclear bombs again and causing some chaos, the new humans finally left the enemy's fire range.

This ended a brutal battle, and both sides needed time to lick their wounds. On the other hand, Antek Civilization still needs to free up its hands to quell the internal riots...

"I don't know what happened to the lizards." Yu Yifeng sighed secretly without directly taking down the front.

He observed that there seemed to be still a riot inside the metal planet, but the firepower had gradually decreased. Anyway, the new humans have almost tried their best and should have created enough opportunities. Whether they can succeed or not depends on themselves.

Half a day later, the "Future" returned to the vicinity of the gaseous planet with a large number of spacecraft.

Looking at the weapons depot that was mostly empty, especially the antimatter resources that were almost completely exhausted, people felt empty in their hearts. The antimatter that has been produced for hundreds of years has almost been used up.

In the huge Future, most of the core hangar that originally housed the Titan spacecraft has been freed up. The loss of the main combat power brings an inexplicable sense of insecurity to people.

This battle cannot be said to be a defeat, but it cannot be said to be a victory either. The New Humanity's retreat was quite timely, retaining the main strength so that the strength of both sides would not lose balance.

The opponent's losses were also considerable. The planet was wiped out by nuclear bombs. Coupled with the interference of some internal matters, there were no drones to harass them for the time being. The new humans even had time to search for meteorite minerals in the surrounding area.

Unfortunately, there is no shortage of nuclear fuel near the gaseous planet, and hydrogen and helium are everywhere. However, the surrounding meteorites lack iridium and titanium elements. In other words, some scarce resources cannot be replenished for the time being, and they can only rely on the reserves in the Noah warehouse.

"There are quite a few iron or nickel meteorites... but they are of little use. There is no way to manufacture warships on a large scale."

After discovering this, Yu Yifeng simply gave up his plan to replenish resources. If warships are not produced, the resources in Noah can still sustain it.

In the huge four spacecrafts of Future, Deep Space, Earth, and Mars, a large number of engineers and robots are working overtime. On the one hand, it is necessary to repair the damaged spacecraft, on the other hand, it is also necessary to add fuel, ammunition, etc. to the warship.

"Almost all the spacecraft participating in the battle have varying degrees of damage. The damage to the Future is particularly troublesome because of the complexity of the materials."

For this kind of very flexible repair work, robots are not yet fully capable of it, and because the project volume is too large and the construction period is too fast, the junior engineers of the Chiyanjiao people also came in handy for the first time.

This subsidiary civilization has finally been put to use for the first time, although it is still very small and can only do some simple tasks...

"If we continue to fight like this, we still won't be able to defeat them! We can only wait for the genetic virus as a backup..." In the captain's room, several high-level brains were discussing the next action.

The loss this time is too great! According to the computer simulation results, out of the range of the opponent's battle stars and fighting head-on, the new humans can achieve a 50% winning rate. However, after the opponent adds battle stars, the winning rate immediately drops to 15%, or even less...

Facing this result, Yu Yifeng felt a little bit achy. A 15% winning rate is almost impossible to win.

"It's good to succeed. But if the genetic virus plan fails, don't underestimate the biochemical control measures of an interstellar civilization. This kind of thing is not guaranteed to succeed."

"It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to succeed. If it really fails, we can only run away...that is, stop the loss!" Dr. Rimbaud said with a bitter look on his face.

Upon hearing this term, many members of the think tank turned their heads with worry.

"Stop loss" is very common in earth-era investments, but not many people can really do it well, and who is willing to admit their failure?

People always have a sense of luck and believe that certain accidental events can bring them more benefits. I always believe that the actual situation may be better than the theoretical one.

Especially the rise of the new humanity is simply a glorious history of getting rich by luck...

But now, the facts are before our eyes. After "investing" in so many spaceships, we find that we may have to cut them off in the end. Even Yu Yifeng cannot make this determination.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait for a while. During this period of time, we still have to put war pressure on the other side. The genetic virus will definitely attack within a week or two. If there is still no news, Let’s just... retreat!”

After all, he couldn't risk his entire civilization.

Only as long as people are alive can they have a future.

At this moment, inside the metal planet, a bloody revolution was gradually subduing... A large number of lizard corpses fell to the ground.

For more than a day, huge chaos turned a large number of residential areas and industrial areas upside down. The rebel army even occupied an armed warehouse containing nuclear bombs and resisted stubbornly.

But the Antek civilization repelled the new humans, and when they finally had their hands free, this group of rebel armies quickly fell into a desperate situation...

Immediately afterwards, another group of lizard puppet troops also hurriedly arrived and suppressed the last remaining strength of this group of resisting troops.

The resistance war lasted for nearly two days, and almost all the lizards who participated in the resistance were killed! Only about 600 paralyzed lizards were captured alive...

"be honest!"

On this day, a tall lizard man escorted another smaller lizard to the execution ground. There were several heavily armed mantis soldiers around, escorting the group of prisoners.

When this happened, some high-level officials of the Antek Civilization were so furious that they almost ordered the massacre of the entire Lizard Civilization!

But at this juncture, war could break out at any time, and a large number of lizard engineers had to be requisitioned, so the massacre order was not issued directly.

Moreover, after investigation, it seems that this mutiny in the military was just a temporary initiative, and no further content was discovered. Also because the new humans are watching eagerly from the side, the Antek civilization has no time to investigate the lizard civilization, so it can only put it on hold for the time being.

But putting it aside, facing the leader of this group of prisoners, the Mantises were determined to use the most brutal means to execute him on the spot in front of the people to carry out a deeper deterrence.

They even asked the Lizard Puppet Army to execute this group of resistance troops. Killing your own people will always have a greater impact on the spiritual level of all people.

"Bah! Traitor!"

Walking on the road to the execution ground, this smaller lizard was cursing and looking slightly gloomy. Perhaps the moment he stood up, his current fate was already sealed.

The blood in his arms had drained out, and he really had no strength at all.

At this moment, the big lizard suddenly reached out and tapped his arm with the power armor.

This is a... code word!

"Successful."

It’s expressed in code, because that’s what it means. Suddenly, the expression of the smaller lizard changed slightly. This was probably the best news he heard before he died.

"I can't save you. Sorry." The big lizard said again in sign language.

"Bah! Traitor! Get out of here and let me go by myself." The little lizard continued to curse, but his tone rose slightly, and he even struggled a little. As if to show that he is not afraid of death.

The mantises never expected that the lizards would be having fun right under their noses!

"Go well."

When the big lizard's eyes were wet, he pricked it gently with a hidden needle, scratching the skin of the little lizard, and the medicine in the needle penetrated quietly.

This medicine is a highly toxic substance. Just a small dose can paralyze the brain nerves and allow the lizard to die peacefully to avoid the final pain.

Next, this smaller lizard was placed on the execution platform.

In order to deal with the endless stream of resisters throughout history, the Antek civilization specially designed a very cruel punishment method: hanging the lizard's head, limbs and tail with several ropes, and then slowly pulling them apart with a machine.

The whole process was like dismembering a body by five horses, cruel and painful.

These harsh methods really intimidated the entire lizard race. Large-scale rebellions occurred twice in history, and were suppressed without exception.

Now, for the third time, it has also been suppressed.

They want to use this criminal law to express their authority.

This short lizard felt that its body was being slowly pulled apart by the rope, and a fear of death appeared in its heart. However, the medicine that was just injected seemed to be working, and there was not much pain during the process.

"Are you going to die?" Suddenly, he seemed to see his family.

Oh... isn't his family already dead?

In another daze, he saw many dead comrades, and they seemed to be waving to him.

Suddenly he saw the light!

At the moment before death, his whole body violently exerted force, and he yelled with all the strength in his throat:

"We...will win!"

"We will win!"

"we will!"

he died.

Only a piece of separated flesh and blood was left, as well as the silent people.

This resister just left.

When he saw the hero completely dead, the great scientist O'Sullivan was trembling in front of the TV and shed tears.

"Yes, we will win!"

The real heroes are not their group of elite "wall-facers", but these soldiers! These are ordinary lizards who volunteer their lives.

Without the generosity of this group of heroes to die, there would be no way to cover up those with higher status and the mission of "poisoning".

Without the chaos of this rebel army, it would be difficult to explain the strange behavior of these senior officials. Without this riot, the genetic virus plan might have been exposed.

It was precisely because the soldiers used their lives to divert the attention of the Antaike civilization that the senior officials were given an explanation and were not subject to too strict questioning.

"Revolution is about lives! If you don't have the will and determination to sacrifice your life, why should you make a revolution?"

Thinking of this, O'Sullivan's eyes became determined. Even he, a great scientist, was ready to expose the matter and commit suicide by taking poison.

"We will win!" He muttered silently in his heart, having never been so eager for victory.

After a while, he wiped away his tears, collected his thoughts, and devoted himself to the next work...

The war...is still going on!

They, a group of high-level lizards, need to spread the virus on a large scale as much as possible before it is exposed!

Now a war has just ended, and there are a large number of projects in urgent need of repair, such as various spaceships and some core areas of the metal planet.

Even though the Antek civilization has become somewhat suspicious because of this resistance, it still cannot do without the Lizard Engineer.

In other words, many Lizard engineers now have the qualifications to board the flagship and access places that were previously difficult to access.

"The vast majority of engineers... don't know our plan. But they don't need to deliberately poison, they just need to bring some viruses into the site unintentionally..." O'Sullivan's eyes shone slightly, and he kept thinking. Thinking about how to bypass biochemical security inspection measures, how to improve the success rate, etc.

This genetic virus has a strong ability to infect, and it is possible to be infected through air, water, and skin contact. But it will not cause any harm to the lizard, and it can even only temporarily parasitize the lizard's body.

"With such a big planet and so many spaceships, are all of them subject to comprehensive isolation and level 4 biosafety? Impossible! Mantises can't wear power armor all day long, eating, working, and sleeping."

As long as someone is infected, it will spread on a large scale. The larger the population that spreads, the higher the success rate of their plan.

He is looking forward to it!

It wasn't just O'Sullivan who was looking at various ideas, there was also an entire small makeshift team. Although the members of this team have not known each other for a short time, they have the same goal...

Fight for the liberation of the entire civilization!

Time passed slowly, and a series of repair work was carried out in an orderly manner. The Lizard engineers finally boarded each spacecraft to carry out repair work under full supervision.

Because there was not enough information, this group of praying mantises did not directly connect this hostile civilization with the "enlightener" mentioned by the lizard.

According to the lizard's oral account, the development time of "Enlightener" is only a few hundred years, and it will definitely be less than a thousand years anyway.

With all the calculations, it will be good to develop to L3 in a thousand years.

Based on this analysis, it is more likely that the "Tiekui Civilization" accidentally passed by here and then launched a war.

The "Tiekui Civilization" is the strongest main force of the Homo erectus system, and there are indeed a small number of troops active in this star field.

…

Soon, the two sides entered into small-scale drone testing again and again.

In order to continue to put war pressure on the Antek civilization, the new humans even launched several feint attacks. A large number of spaceships concentrated on the boundary of one astronomical unit, throwing bullets back and forth.

This kind of continuous high-pressure pressure has caused losses to both sides.

"If there is really a mantis that becomes suspicious, it would be very troublesome to go to all the trouble to investigate the lizards."

"If the puppet troops of Kix arrive early, the important news that we are the 'Enlighteners' will be leaked. This will be detrimental to the entire plan."

There are too many what-ifs in the world, and Yu Yifeng wishes that time could pass faster.

7 days...definitely a tough time!

On this day, Yu Yifeng was sitting in the captain's office and suddenly received a report.

"Is it from the indigenous lizard people?" His heart suddenly moved. As for the contact with the "Wall Facers", it has always been the lizards in the Future and the military's correspondents.

"Alex, how's it going? Has the genetic virus plan been successful?" He didn't waste any time and directly used the communicator to find the lizard leader and got straight to the point.

"Great leader, the plan...is as you wish!" The lizard leader said with a happy face.

"The genetic virus project has been successful!" At the same time, he quickly translated the code word he received!

Two in one, no more updates at night.
