The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

It's not that there hasn't been a firefight with the dark worms during this period of time. Although no large-scale swarm fleets have appeared, small-scale battles (one-body mothership class) still happened once or twice, all without exception. In the depths of the universe, he was stopped by an interceptor ship, and he was killed directly by pressing down on the deep space point.

"There are advantages to not having the dark worm not appear, but... there are also some disadvantages." When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and military leaders were playing cards together, they once commented on the status quo.

The addition of new civilizations has temporarily entered a period of stagnation, but this is also good, because the addition of new civilizations will bring new problems-customs, policies, culture, and cultural collisions in all aspects will lead to instability.It’s okay to accept one by one, but if you join a lot of civilizations with a certain level at one time, as long as one point is not handled well, the fun will be great.

Take your time, there is a long way to go in the process of absorbing civilization and becoming a booster.In this process, the pursuit of interests, the comfort of people's hearts, the development of culture, the cultivation of a sense of belonging...all of these must be paid attention to.

In the current Consolidation Department, everyone trusts in the power of Tartarus, making money, expanding, and thriving steadily in this environment, but a pure [army] is not suitable for future development.A civilization needs not only the army, but also literature, art, science, and philosophy, but to develop these, education is the most important thing.

For this reason, Tartarus has the highest personal combat effectiveness, and the spirit behind the demon Slaanesh, who can cut down the demon of Khorne with a knife, withdrew from the front line of the battle and began to retreat to the rear to concentrate on education.Improving soft power so that you don't look like an upstart, although it is not helpful for confronting the dark worm head-on, but it is very helpful for integrating civilization and improving trust.

If artists and writers can be born among these cursed sons, it would be a real treasure... By the way, I don't know if there will be talents who are good at diplomacy. (meditation)

Just when Back Ling was thinking (=v=), the automatic door in the hall slid open with a slight friction sound, and someone walked into the room with light footsteps.

She turned around and found that it was Xuefeng who was in very good spirits.This girl, reminiscent of a groundhog, gnawed on a corn cob like Khrushchev, and said vaguely:

"Ah, long time no see, the fleet is back!"

"It's been a long time since I've been here this time. It's been a long time." Back Ling smiled, stood up and stretched, and put the long knife leaning against the table back on his back. "Wait, what do you want to drink?"

"Okay!" Thinking of the bar owner [I'm still a little confident in mixing cocktails], Xuefeng's expression relaxed, "It's annoying to have no coordinates, the transition is slow and consumes fuel. It’s better not to use the flagship to visit.”

"Can you tell War Scythe later, it seems that it can be done if you use a scientific research ship to change a high-speed reconnaissance ship?" Thinking is not the strength of the spirit behind it, so he didn't do too much analysis.

"Anyway, I'm alive again, unscathed." (thumbs up)

"emmmmm..."

Behind the back, Ling took another look at the big sister holding an umbrella who was lying on the berth waiting for maintenance, and then looked at the unscathed, golden Dingguoping General Weiyuan, which was moored at the port on the other side. The face is slightly disfigured.

This is so unreasonable... The oracle-class dreadnought is so big and conspicuous!

Can't help but wait until the report--

"Speaking of Xuefeng, was the Yamato under fire at that time?" Back Ling thought about his words and asked.

Xuefeng gnawed the last few bites of corn, and threw the bare corn cobs into the trash can: "Eh? Why do you say that?"

"Isn't the hull of the Yamato smashed into pieces like that? It must have been attacked intensively, right? You are obviously more conspicuous, but why is the Yamato severely damaged instead?"

The room fell into silence, only the humming of instruments.

"There was no concentrated attack. We basically didn't receive any strong counterattack." After a long while, Xue Feng said, "Our firepower had already suppressed the fortress artillery before the opponent started attacking. She was not hit."

"Didn't you get beaten?"

"emmmmm...they were hit on the way back, or spontaneously ignited. It was a traffic accident..."

"Meow meow meow?"

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

With the addition of the League of Nations-Gamelas Alliance, the communication between civilizations is complicated again.

New voyages were opened up, and during the exchange of merchants, the stargate originally used by Tartarus to transport supplies to the League of Nations was converted from military use to civilian use, and caravans can pass freely through it.

At the beginning of communication, businessmen played a very important role.This is like the age of great voyages in the ancient times of the earth-the first ocean voyages were to find sea routes from Western Europe to Asia to bring back spices from the East.At that time, cartography, navigation and shipbuilding had made considerable progress.With the advancement of technology, carrack sailing ships appeared in the Iberian Peninsula, and ocean exploration became possible.

Driving sailing ships, going to unknown routes, making great achievements and earning wealth, the division between businessmen and adventurers in that era was very blurred, and a large number of courageous people joined this industry to earn huge profits.In this way, carrying goods and culture, wooden boats with sails sailed on the vast ocean, gradually communicating with the world.

But now, countless merchant ships are sailing in the star sea, large and small space development companies have been established one after another in the past few years, they mine minerals, develop processing industries, and conduct trade among civilizations - in the roar of spaceship engines, these The trendsetters of the era have significantly enhanced the interaction between civilizations. Businessmen who are obsessed with making profits, in order to conduct better trade, naturally learn the culture of other civilizations, and then return to their hometown with what they have learned.The information spreads at a faster speed, and the long distance is invisible in the flash of the propeller.

In this era, the dream of children is to become the captain of a starship, to venture into the unknown universe, and to protect the world as their own responsibility.The increase in interstellar affairs has widened the shortage of starship crews, and the education system has begun to tilt in that direction-they can't worry about not being able to recruit students.

Not only that, because the transportation network between civilizations, between civilizations and their colonies, and between colonies and interstellar resource production sites has gradually become complicated, people need more mass accelerators, more ships, and more Therefore, the shipbuilding industry and the space construction industry began to flourish, and subjects such as space physics and space biology have also become the focus of various scientific research institutions.

Many people—especially people from Gendaya and people on Earth feel that the speed of their life changes has obviously accelerated: a few years ago, they thought that going to the moon to study abroad and traveling to the PLANT were things that only the super rich could do. Ordinary people never want to think about it for a lifetime; but now they find that studying in the academy ship in the starry sky, taking the shuttle back to the airport of the city where they live every weekend, and then crowding into the subway like sardines to go home with the crowd instead becomes everyday.

It is worth mentioning that it takes less time to travel from the universe to the airport than to travel from the airport to home.About four times the difference.

I don't know when the universe has become such a close place.

"Compared with the universe, the South Pole is farther away!"

Quite a few young people of this generation think so.

Seeing the gray transport ship with a flat hull flying by from the outside, Siegel Klein unconsciously showed a lonely expression.

Times change too fast.

More than 50 years ago, the original adjuster George Glenn discovered the "Evidence01 Angel Whale Fossil" on Jupiter, which directly proved the existence of extraterrestrial creatures, broke the public opinion in the religious circles, and directly led to the statement that "human beings need adjusters" The rhetoric was ramped up wildly, followed by the mass production event of the Coordinator known as the first Coordinator Baby Boomer.

It was at that time that the secret was born in the cold Scandinavia. In the following decades, I have been struggling with the contradiction between the natural person and the adjuster.In the process, he lost his wife and friends, but he always believed that a bright future would eventually come.

Then, this future came so suddenly.

Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't leave so early and could see the current situation?

The blond-haired middle-aged man sighed, and stretched out his hand as if wanting to touch the transport ship outside. His fingers touched the cold transparent polymer window, and a fine layer of water mist formed near the contact point.

Look at PLANT, look at the entire earth circle, look at this entire starry sky... Your dream has come true, human beings have come out of internal strife, and are striding towards this universe, and even colonization ships have already landed on habitable planets. earth.

And our daughter, Lux, has grown up too.Smart, beautiful, just like you, recently someone who cares...

He couldn't help it anymore, his nose was sore, his eyes blurred suddenly, in this blur, she seemed to appear in front of him, just outside this transparent polymer window, looking at him and smiling in the star space—— Just like that summer for decades.The Supreme Councilor stood by the window, the tall man sobbed silently, instead of wiping away the tears, he let the sweat of the heart flow down his cheeks.

It's like the little match girl who doesn't want to extinguish the match that brings a beautiful scene.

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of

At this moment, the communicator on the desk suddenly rang——

【Are you there, Siegel?I'm Patrick, and there's been some interesting stuff going on in the New World lately, so let's talk about it. 】

PS3: It's a holiday, so I finally have the energy and time to write manuscripts.15W words this month should be able to reach 233

Chapter 416 Chapter 379: Thinking mode... totally different meow!

The giant worm bent down, and the human-shaped part above her body bent down. She stretched out her hand and carefully stroked the plant from the earth on the ground.

The short silver hair hangs down to the ears, the immature expressionless face has a strange charm, and the red pupils are looking at the golden plants wholeheartedly.If you only see here, then she is just a young girl who has become interested in the wheat field, but looking at the lower body, the spider-like arthropod body reminds people all the time that this girl is from the swarm.

emmm... When seeing this kind of lower body, no one should think with the lower body, right?

This is not the hive master, but the cerebrate responsible for the work of the swarm in the human colony area.The tasks she undertook required dealing with humans from time to time, so like the hive master, she made some changes in appearance in order to communicate smoothly.

Although the sense of heterogeneity still exists, human beings are creatures who look at faces. As long as the upper body is the same as ordinary people, there will be much fewer obstacles in speaking.

For the Arachis, this question is actually very confusing-spider-like body + human upper body, or human body + spider head, which one has a greater proportion of foreign objects between the former and the latter?But when you see the former kind of human beings, you can easily talk to them, and the latter kind...you'd better make sure that the other side doesn't have a gun in their hands when they appear, otherwise they will be knocked to the ground if they are not sure.

I really don't understand you scary upright apes. (spreading claws) (holding claws)

However, it doesn't matter if you don't know the reason why this happens, as long as you know the result will be like this, then just do it accordingly.Therefore, the brain worm underwent a minimally invasive plastic surgery, and then went to work in the human colony as instructed.

How should I put it, this face is pinched well.The worm squeezed his face to pinch a beautiful woman instead of an ancient god. It can be said to be a coincidence once, but every time it happens, it can only be said that they are indeed deliberate.How do they grasp human aesthetics?

Very confused. (nod)

The changes in the body have changed the functions of many organs. For example, the position of the human body occupies the original position of the compound eyes, so we can only use human eyes to observe everything.The field of vision is narrowed, eyesight is reduced, and the sense of balance is also affected in some subtle ways.This will take some time to get used to.

But it is worth noting that this appendage is quite dexterous, and can make some small movements that were difficult to complete before. (gesture)

"Well……"

There was a subtle touch from the fingertips, some sharp wheat awns touched the skin, and it felt a little itchy.

Most species of Araki have hard shell protection, and their sense of touch is relatively slow. The claws of the old brain worms without hard shell protection are also hard-feeling everything through touch, which is a kind of feeling for Araki. A whole new experience.

Why can human beings without carapaces, fangs and claws stand out from their planet and become the top of the ecological chain?

I'm afraid it depends on these hands.

Complex and exquisite structure, excellent nervous system, able to grasp, control, polish, and make materials that can be seen everywhere into tools that are more suitable for production or combat.And the process of making tools can obviously help improve intelligence!

Make tools - get smarter - learn how to make better tools - get smarter.It feels like IQ and fighting power are rolling up and down like a snowball, hello!

Isn't this... Isn't this cheating!How can there be creatures like you!

That is to say, in the early stages of evolution, in the age of drinking blood, they already had extremely low-cost methods of transformation and utilization of nature!

Do you want sharp claws to hunt, sharp teeth to bite, long necks to eat the fruit on the tree?Ordinary animals may need to evolve tens of thousands to tens of thousands of years to get what they want, but they don't need to.

The hammered sharp stone is tied with a wooden stick, which is the sharp claw; the stone knife is cut before the entrance, which is the sharp tooth; make ropes, ladders, so that you can eat the fruit on the crown without a long neck!

And it only takes an afternoon to make these handy tools to arm yourself.In the morning, he was still unarmed, but in the evening, he had the ability to compete with fierce beasts.

How can this kind of creature not climb to the top of the food chain?And after becoming the strongest on the planet, it may only take less than 1 years for them to step into the sea of ​​stars!The conscience of heaven and earth, who knows how fast they can build ships and adapt to the new environment?

Even if they don't have telepathy, they can become the well-deserved overlords of their planet with just their dexterous hands and brains.Indeed, they developed with the help of foreign objects, and the giant steel ship was not their own power.

But so what?The Arachi Zerg, which spent millions of years evolving physical strength, was defeated; wandering in the universe, as huge as a planet, the Dark Worm who knows how many years has passed is also being hunted and killed.The results have proved that maybe the human beings are taking the right path.

Is there a distinction between high and low in life?No.Are there differences in the speed of population development?Yes, I have……

Thinking about it carefully, Arach is lucky to be able to develop to the present. There is no civilization around the parent star that can threaten them. Otherwise, with this evolutionary speed, it is very likely that they will be wiped out by the opponent before they have time to go to the sky. .

Just like the former Overmind did with other civilizations encountered along the way.

Is it a coincidence?chance?Or to use the psychedelic term of human beings-Yuan?

This brain worm——the individual named Qingfu (named by: 76) (Note ①) sighed like a human, and gently touched the blade of grass.Now Arach also has hands, but the time has been countless years late.

There was a clicking sound from behind, and the visitor did not try to hide his intentions.

"Qingfu, I've been looking for you for a long time. Are you interested in the crops on Earth?"

"It's you, Entoma." The cerebrum green clam stood up, the huge body was actually lighter than it looked, and the reaction was unexpectedly flexible. "I just...just take a look."

Entoma was wearing a white pleated skirt, her lavender hair was coiled behind her head, and there was a soft smile on her face all the time.This girl who is less than 160 cm tall is not actually a human being, but a fully mimicked humanoid cerebrate.

After seeing the coquettish operation of the newborn worm nest, 76 suddenly had a strange sense of resistance, thinking——I can do this operation too!He actually lost to the newcomer in this kind of place!Then I went home and summed up with the brain worms:

[Okay, I'll make a long story short, which one of you is going to be a girl? 】

[No, I think this is unfair. 】

On that day, due to the chaos brought about by 76, the business of jijibug was stagnated for about 10 minutes. In the end, everyone pushed the cause of the failure to the network operator and killed several programmers to sacrifice to the sky (afterwards, the best towels and iced milk apologies).

As a result, a new type of brain worm was born - the diplomatic special brain worm "Basilisa", and the first individual born was named "Edoma".In principle, it is the closest individual to 76 (even the human design is made temporarily by catching sea rabbits).This humanoid creature with a swarm mind basically has no combat ability, and its main task is to communicate with the newborn Araki swarm in real time.

In terms of performance and shape, it completely crushes Ligelu's AC port. (nod)
