The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Simultaneously with the vibration, there was a sound like thunder. The terrifying roar from the ground was like the earth itself crying out for pain, shaking buildings, building materials, scattered decorations and daily necessities, food and weapons stored on shelves They fell to the ground with clanging bells, and every impact deepened people's uneasiness.

The trembling tremors lasted for several seconds, and the earth gradually returned to calm, but the people in Weiding Village could not calm down——

"It's on fire! Bring water!!"

"Someone is trapped here! Come and help!"

The burning stove was damaged by the earthquake, and the fire spread to the houses. Several houses were already on fire, and some barracks were damaged. Many people were blocked indoors by deformed doors and windows.

"People who are not injured, move quickly! Don't panic! Everyone calm down!" "Damn it, there has never been an earthquake here..."

"Of course, there shouldn't be an earthquake here." Oregana held a piece of scorpion in her mouth, and she seemed to feel the pressure starting to rise. "This is not an earthquake, it's fetal movement."

"What... what?" "Fetal movement?"

"That's right, time is running out." "Dark Rock, report the current situation!"

At this moment, the Fool-class scientific research ship, which is on standby in high orbit and has been monitoring the eggs, is already busy.The sensors everywhere suddenly received a large amount of data, which scared the technical boy on duty in the radar room and almost fell off his chair.

"The current situation is still being analyzed." Dark Rock pushed his glasses with a serious face, and he held the receiver in his hand. "We have observed a burst of powerful energy from the eggs, and the burst point of energy is in the lava lake. About 340 kilometers below—and, just now, the lava lake exploded, and the volcanic ash spewed to a height of fifteen kilometers."

[This allows us to determine the exact location of the bug, right? 】【It seems to be slightly darker than before. 】

"That's right, it's much deeper than expected." "This is a very typical fetal movement, and the egg may have penetrated deep enough."

Fool-level optical instruments photographed the top of the erupting volcanic ash, where a dark red light was constantly flashing-not only the jumping lava, but also the kilometer-long, spectacular lightning.This bizarre natural phenomenon occurs when water droplets and ice particles in the atmosphere interact with volcanic plumes of charged ash.

But at this moment, this is not pure lightning. The special signal used by the dark worm in communication has been detected again and again in the continuous eruption of crater lightning. This not only reflects that the worm eggs have entered an activated state, It also indicates that it may have sent some unknown messages to its companions.

"Record this information and send it back to the translator to see what it says." "I'm afraid we have to take some measures to suppress this bug. The depth of the eggs is more than seven times as expected. I'm afraid the ore won't be able to get up very long." great effect."

If it exceeds the radiation distance of the chrysanthemum mine, then the suppression of the dark worms will be impossible to talk about.Through the 350 kilometers of the earth's crust and deep into the mantle, it is obviously not feasible to rely on throwing a few pieces of ore.

"Maybe we can test that gear?" "But that gear hasn't been tested yet!"

"No problem!" "There is only this method now, and the activity of the eggs must be suppressed immediately. Call Essex and say that we need support equipment, code-named 'acupuncture'."

"learn!"

There was a problem with Ligelu's intelligence, and things gradually became more difficult—but still within a controllable range.

Frankly speaking, the possibility of Ligru Duckholme doing something is actually not very high now, and there is no point in teasing the legion commander with false information - there are only risks, no benefits, and only the mentally retarded can do this.

Then another possibility came up: Ligelu Darkholm actually misjudged the hatching degree of this egg.As a 25-year-old boy, he knows all about the dark worms, and judging the development of an egg is a piece of cake. What caused his misjudgment?

The only egg in a galaxy is placed on a planet with intelligent creatures. The number of eggs laid, the size of the swarm, and the order of jumping away have suddenly entered an active period—from the discovery of this egg to the Now, it’s fair to say that there is not one thing that can be said to be normal…

Thinking of this moment, an answer gradually emerged in the dark rock's heart.

Chapter 382 Chapter 348: On the Correct Way to Rescue the Hostages

On the home planet of Wyatt, there is a grand temple.Originally, it was established thousands of years ago by the Wyatt people with reverence. The greatest priests lived in it and lived a life of asceticism, taking on the task of conveying the destiny. It is already a mammoth building with a height of 100 meters.

This great temple is the home of the Wyatt people's spirit and the center of their hearts, but under normal circumstances, ordinary people will not approach the great temple to pray or pay homage. They feel that they have received divine grace just by looking at the majestic light.Except for internal staff, few people approach here. Only when dealing with major events, leaders and generals will enter here to discuss with God-although there are resident priests in every department of the army, those priests, due to physical reasons, I can't accept the coming for too long, and if I want to communicate with God for a long time, I still have to come here.

They've been here more often than ever during this time.

Just after lunch time at noon that day, a vehicle painted in black drove into the gate outside the temple. From the patterns of spears and eyes on the vehicle body, it could be clearly seen that this vehicle belonged to the Wyatt military.

A few minutes later, General Romulus, wearing a military uniform and wearing a medal on his chest, arrived at the top of the temple. The general in charge of the intelligence department knocked on the door at the end of the passage, and then walked into the room of gods with solemn steps.

It was a wide hall, with lamps in the shape of water sprites hanging from the ceiling, the red floor was spread on the ground, and various murals were painted on the surrounding walls—there were ancient gods teaching the Wyatt people to plant crops. There are pictures of good gods and angry gods stretching their tentacles surrounded by battleships. Every major event in Wyatt's history is recorded here. It is not so much a religious painting as it is the history of Wyatt.

At the end of the hall, there is a huge platform. On the high-backed chair at the front of the platform sits a gorgeous and handsome Wyatt man. He is wearing a priest's suit, with moist hair and ruddy complexion. You can tell it just by looking at it. He is so healthy.Not only that, this Wyatt priest, like other Wyatts, has sound limbs and nothing extra. He has a kind smile, clear ears and eyes, and the grace of God does not seem to have even the slightest influence on him.

The high priest Almeyer, the person who is most compatible with the power of God in the thousands of years of history, can withstand the time of coming, which can be said to be unlimited.

"General Romulus, has something happened again?"

"Indeed, it is a very serious problem, please."

Ali Meyer smiled and closed his eyes. At this moment, the kind atmosphere on his body disappeared without a trace, replaced by a force as deep as the universe.Although this force was strong, it did not feel oppressive to General Romulus.

God has come down here.

General Romulus understood this, so he walked up to him respectfully, saluted solemnly, and said loudly:

"Great God, we have received a communication from the Lord of Tricks, His Excellency the Hermit Dark Rock. He said that there is a serious problem with the 'egg' we discovered earlier, and he hopes to have a direct dialogue with you."

"Information? Wait..." Almeyer's voice was slightly lower than before. He pondered for a moment and said, "Take over the communication."

"Yes." General Romulus lowered his head, turned his head and said to the young adjutant who was accompanying him, "Connect to the communication."

The adjutant took a step forward and opened the box that he had been carrying all the time - inside was a communication device, and the face of a young alien with black hair and glasses appeared on the big screen.That was the dark rock of Tartarus. At this moment, he was sitting on the bridge of a certain ship with a crystal cane, tapping the tip of the crystal staff rhythmically with his fingers:

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"I heard you very clearly, Your Excellency." Alimeyer... No, Liglou asked, "Please tell me what happened?"

Dark Rock's expression was a bit serious, he called up several pictures and presented them to Lige:

"The insect eggs that you said should not move suddenly experienced violent activities just now. From our position, we can observe several large-scale geological activities on the surface. There are four large cracks extending outward from the hole where the eggs entered. .”

Liger showed a surprised expression on his face—this is actually a very difficult task for it. The nervous system of the Wyatt people is completely different from that of the dark worm. It's actually not easy to control the facial expressions, it's closer to practice makes perfect...

According to common sense analysis, this kind of [human-shaped contact device for contact with organic life] (such as the one sitting in the classroom of the North High Literature and Art Club) is generally expressionless, and the expression of this bug has been practiced for thousands of years Bao didn't know what kind of mentality he was holding. (meditation)

The ground was torn apart, and hundreds of kilometers of fissures burned fiercely. The vegetation was ignited by the high temperature of the lava. The thick smoke made it difficult to discern the patterns of optical instruments.The thermal imaging system and energy-sensing radar have drawn a more complete new map-a cross appeared on the ground, and the original lava lake was in the center of the cross, and lava gushed out along the crack, forming a burning fire. River; while bursts of energy fluctuations are emanating from the center, gradually expanding to the outside of the screen.

No, the information collected by the exploration team before is enough to show that this egg is in the first stage of stability, and the damage it shows to the surface at this moment seems to happen in the middle and late stages of the second stage. The thing—no, not to that extent, there are only cracks now, and no eye-stalks protruding from the cracks.

Ligelu touched her chin, which was a thinking movement she had recently learned (from something brought back from the orangutans), and then said:

"It doesn't seem very good. This is definitely not the situation that should appear in the first stage. Maybe my calculations are wrong... But this shouldn't be... tsk..."

It gradually realized that, with its own knowledge, it seemed impossible to explain how this damn situation happened.This is like installing a MOD to "The Ancient ○ Axis 5". During the installation process, everything went as expected, but it exploded immediately when it was activated. I don't know what happened.

"It really doesn't look very good. Besides, the radar detected a lot of thinking fluctuations," Dark Rock was not surprised by Ligelu's reaction, and this kind of bewildered reaction was within his expectations.But it doesn’t matter if we don’t know the reason why the eggs become like this, the key information must be known immediately. “That’s it, 1 launches within 45 minute, but no possible receiving targets were detected nearby, can you understand?” Does it say something?"

What was sent together with the video signal was an intercepted thought signal.

"This..." Ligelu (Wori Oh) clicked on the signal and finished reading it quickly. Its expression became a little relaxed, which was the feeling of memory.It said affirmatively to the dark rock, "No, this is not a thought wave for communication."

"Oh?"

"Chaos and disorder have no intelligence, no logic required for language, and there is no targeted wide-area emission. This is the thought wave that is released by common insect eggs when they start to move. The function is very simple. It is like A high-power life detection radar, intelligent life will be stimulated when it feels this wave of thinking, and it will send out a subtle echo like a stress response, so that the egg can know whether there is any intelligent life nearby." Lige Lu carefully explained that this is a process that every dark worm must go through, and the memory structure (and memory space) of the dark worm makes them almost impossible to forget, and it still remembers when it was just born. series of actions performed.

"This process will continue... If you use your timing method, it will take about three years. The eggs will scan the current galaxy, and if they find the existence of intelligent life forms, they will start to observe and pollute them after the entire scanning process is over. "

"What about before the scan ends?" Dark Rock's tone became a little anxious.

Observation and pollution. Observation is fine, but pollution is a big problem.If it is said that the pollution has already started at this time, it is necessary to immediately send a colony ship to start transporting people.

It's easy to destroy this bug egg, jumping in with a doomsday battleship can kill it with one shot, but if you do this, you will kill the entire planet together, which is unacceptable.

"This is just like FUZE saving the hostages..." The lament in Dark Rock's heart almost never stopped...

Insect eggs, hostage-taking black and evil forces; aborigines, hostages; Star Destroyer Order, Grain bombs—if you think about it this way, there is nothing wrong with it. (nod)

And this time the hostage was a guy about the size of the second hand ○, even if he was accidentally stepped on, he would die, and he was waving a needle and insisting on shooting the kidnapper himself, which is really not worrying at all. (cover face)

"It won't do anything, after all, it's just an egg, and single-threaded operation is already the limit for it." Ligelu said without hesitation, "According to our instinct, the pollution will definitely be detected after all the scans are completed." Do."

"Hmm... Could this be used for interstellar communication?" He breathed a sigh of relief, but it wasn't enough—there's already enough egg manipulation this time, who knows if there will be more?

Ligelu thought for a few seconds, as if organizing her words, and then said:

"If you want to say whether there is any hidden message in it, there is only one. It's not a language, but a... Well, in your terms, it's an identification code."

"Identifier?"

"Yes," it nodded, "it is used to warn adult dark worms [go away, don't grab food with children]. I have used this to drive approaching individuals a few times, but I don't learn it when I am older, and there are also experienced failure."

It seems to be a shameful black history, this bug doesn't want to talk too much about those things.

Dark Rock said that he doesn't understand the strange customs in your circle...

"Okay... knowing this is enough for the time being. So, what do you think about the abnormalities of the eggs?"

"No, this method of laying eggs and hatching does not exist in my instinct and memory." "This egg should have been dormant for a period of time, and the huge cracks and large-scale collapse on the surface are for Protruding the eye stalks out of the surface, you can better communicate with the intelligent creatures on the ground and observe the universe. But the images you sent have nothing but cracks."

This is a deep dark worm, a great devourer of the universe who lives like a machine with careful planning, and will not waste energy on entertainment-it makes sense to stir the body to cause earthquakes, unlike some bad celestial beings who want to do nothing when they have nothing to do Use earthquakes to shake Tabo ○ Shrine to attract witches to come out and press themselves to the ground to beat them.

Looks like we'll have to send some probes deeper into the chasm to find out what's going on.

"I guess... there is the possibility of other queens."

"Okay, I understand." Dark Rock nodded solemnly to the High Priest opposite the communicator, "Thank you for your support, we will leave the rest to us."

"May I ask you what to do next?" Ligelu showed a puzzled expression, "Didn't you just blow it up?"

"Of course not, we have to suppress its activity, and then transfer the aborigines."

suppress activity?

The four words are very simple, but it is actually very difficult to do.If you want to suppress the "sudden excitement の patient (human)", you only need to inject a tube of tranquilizer, or directly hit the head with a stick to suppress the activity (physically), but how to suppress an egg that is several kilometers long?Are you taking medicine?How many chimeras would it take to transport the potion. (meditation)

"..." It said to the dark rock in a reminding tone, "If it is attacked, it will drill deeper into the planet, and accelerate the speed of development and activate the defense mechanism. Please pay attention."

"thanks for reminding."

Dark Rock nodded to the camera of the communication system, and then cut off the communication.

------------

"Has God left already?"

"The great existence has already left, General, please don't be too restrictive."

"I'm going to trouble you this time too, High Priest Arimeyer."

"It doesn't have to be like this, it's the responsibility."

"Then I will take my leave today."

"See you next time."

"See you next time."
