The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

In the boundless ocean, there is a thunderous light, like the bright sun rising from the sea level.In the next moment, the high temperature spread along the ocean, and the tissue fluid near the impact point evaporated instantly. At that moment, a large number of protozoa and the transpiring seawater turned into a wisp of blue smoke and dissipated in the vast universe.

Immediately afterwards, the shell of the 'earth' was pierced by a spear made of light, and the beam of light with an astonishingly high temperature quietly sank into the thick shell, and dark red lines spread across the shell of the shell like a spider web.

May your spear be invincible, may your walls be impregnable, and may your will be as strong as a rock, Nyamen. (Waves paw)

What caused this tragedy, which was more terrifying than natural disasters, was the giant warship located tens of thousands of kilometers away.At range, the glow of the Thermal Lance is unstoppable.After firing the 'macro cannon', sparks of energy flickered slightly on the bow of the Doomsday Dreadnought, and the arc kept jumping.Inside the hull, the damage control system is working at full capacity. Launching a doomsday weapon is still too difficult for a dreadnought. Even if the energy delivery and cooling system of the hull is strengthened, it still cannot be launched quickly.

It should be mentioned that the latest type of doomsday dreadnoughts are all equipped with flagship-level structural repairers and a large number of engineering robots, because after the doomsday weapon is launched, there is no guarantee that the energy pipeline will not go wrong.

The team commander looked at the warnings and errors on the screen, and calmly reported:

"The first round of firing is complete, all five shots hit!"

[Continue, don't let it stop. 】

In the communication, Warboss's voice sounded very calm, which was very in line with her status as a veteran of many battles, but under the calm tone, there was something crazy hidden.

The squad commander raised the corner of his mouth slightly—crazy?It's okay, rather, for clone warriors, this is what war really looks like.

And in front of him is the old enemy waiting to be slaughtered, nothing is more pleasant than this:

"understand!"

As soon as the words fell, the bows of the other five Doomsday Dreadnoughts began to emit bright flashes...

The destruction of the dark worm is usually not so gorgeous and spectacular. It is not like a battleship, which has a power furnace or a capacitor array that will explode after being hit. In its body, all the tissues and organs are bulky and low. The efficiency depends entirely on the quantity and size to maintain sufficient energy output and storage.

It is true that this pure biological preservation method is inefficient, cumbersome, and low in precision, but from another perspective - the error tolerance rate and resistance to damage are quite high...

Large-scale dark worms that exploded in the air are quite rare. The final cause of death of dark worms that have been attacked by a large amount of firepower is usually endless self-repair that cannot keep up with the speed of destruction, and eventually the stored energy or matter is consumed Exhausted, while the damaged part is still losing its own substance, eventually leading to weakness and death.

In the words of a certain fleet commander, it is - this is a creature with a real blood bar, every shot you shoot will deduct its blood bar, and when the blood bar is empty, it will lie down and die. And there is no down animation yet, which is not even comparable to "Super Robot Wars" at this point...

Oregana guessed that maybe the cosmic monsters felt the same way on the battlefield where Nuonuo fought, but the output of hard work and roots was too high, and he could blow up anything. (cover face)

She watched the giant cosmic creature that gradually stopped moving under the artillery fire, and was finally pierced by the Lux Spear aiming at its core, and sighed slightly.

The firepower has already overflowed, even with only half of the doomsday weapon, it can still be killed.But in war, excess firepower is not a bad thing. Anyway, if you have a lot of money, you are not afraid of spending it. You have to be at ease in everything, right?

There is only one remnant left there—but what is surprising is that the water body of amazing quality still exists. Now that the life signs of the dark worms have disappeared, this piece of ocean maintained by the power of the dark worms is still alive. More than half of it had been evaporated in the shelling, a beautiful ice ring surrounded the corpse, and a large number of dark worm limbs had popped out from the much shallower sea surface, and the end of the degenerated eyestalks did not have the annoying Huge eyes with only brown protrusions.

Rows of huge holes were cut out of the worm's body, and a large amount of water poured in like an overwhelming sea, pouring into the unfathomable scar.Those huge vortices can be seen clearly even from such a long distance.Although it is the corpse of the enemy, it still embodies a magnificent beauty.

In the detector, the energy response of all parts of the monster's body is getting lower and lower, and the flashes of the spiritual energy response nodes are extinguished one by one like the lights in a blackout city.Following the reports of the scouts, Liu Lizi took off his combat helmet and tied his loose hair into twin ponytails:

"It's all been smashed into a sieve... As expected, no matter what kind of armor, the only fate is to be pierced..."

It seems that something like a famous saying appeared.

Oregana also had a relaxed expression on her face. She let out a cold snort from her nose, and the color of the data cable indicator light on the back of her neck suddenly changed from red to blue:

"Finally killed, how do you say that?"

Liu Lizi shook her ears and guessed:

"No matter how cunning a fox is, it can't beat a seasoned hunter?"

"No, we're talking about another sentence—" The captain of the legion took out a bottle of Quafe from the storage rack next to the captain's seat, and looked at the giant creature killed by the weapon created by powerful technology, feeling emotional. said:

"There are no sea monsters on the charts after the Industrial Revolution."

In the era of great geographical discovery, nautical charts in the hands of navigators drew all kinds of grotesque creatures, not so much as a mischievous mental venting by cartographers after boring terrain tracing and shoreline blurring. ([Master, the client said he wanted colorful black... no, draw a fish with horns]), in fact, it reflected the fear and curiosity of human beings about the unknown at that time.

When the overseas world has not been fully explored, the unexplored sea area is marked with a long-legged water-spraying salted fish sea monster, which means: sea monsters are infested here, and it is dangerous.

After the Industrial Revolution, there was no unexplored place on the sea chart.

Oregana looked at the "sea" monster who was killed by the steel battleship in front of her eyes and said these words, what she thought in her heart was self-evident, and the strong emotions contained in it made Liu Lizi feel hot:

"Well... yes." She couldn't help flicking her tail, "There are no sea monsters on the sea charts after the Industrial Revolution..."

The communication started to become lively, and the prey that had been tracking for a long time finally fell before his eyes. Any hunter would feel rejoiced at this moment.Listening to the boys' voices, Oregana smiled:

"The night-level supervising team is about to enter the field to clean up the battlefield. Has the research facility arrived?"

It is worth mentioning that, except for the first few times, the research on the dark worm is basically carried out locally-the reason is very simple, such a large wreck, the difficulty and cost of dismantling and moving it back are too prohibitive. It is difficult for people to accept.After all, sawing such a large corpse is like cutting the moon with that saw...

That would be like fighting another battle...and it's still a hassle to send back the cut up wreckage.

Tech masters generally believe that it is appropriate to insert a pole directly near the large corpse to anchor the research room.After the research, just push the corpse towards the star, and it will fall into the sea of ​​flames that will destroy everything under the action of gravity—although it may take some time, everyone is not in a hurry. (nod)

As for the control tower that supplies energy for the research room, as long as some simple modifications are made and a few components are added—such as a fixed induction force field generator, a bridge link array, a star bridge delivery system, etc. Modified into a beautiful and useful border post.

The control tower system is really easy to use Migu =w=

[Arrive in 2 minutes,] Beria's voice seemed a little tired, and every word contained a sense of relief [The multi-purpose laboratory and the frontline empty fortress have been prepared. 】

Seems exhausted enough...

"Very good, I'll leave it to you."

【Do not worry! 】

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

The first star of the new Mackenzie, the results of the hunting operation are being shown on the big screen in the bar of the control center.

The theme of brave warriors hunting ferocious monsters is welcomed by orcs no matter what era it is. For everyone in the Consolidation Department, every time they fight against the dark worm and win, everyone is as happy as a festival when the news is broadcast .

For Orwell, the victory had another meaning.

Ever since Oregana left New Mackenzie with a stern face that day, he has been paying attention to the follow-up development of this matter-and judging from the results, the captain of Oregana's army is quite lucky.When she realized that the attack might come, she immediately speculated on the possible attack position of the enemy, and deployed the fleet to deploy defenses, directly covering the enemy's fierce blow.

If you use a sword fight as an example, after deflecting the opponent's attack, aiming at the neck is a one-shot execution.

Maybe my ancestors also fought like this?

It is really yearning to confront the enemy head-on... While thinking about this, a glass of amber whiskey was placed in front of him:

"A great victory, isn't it?"

This kind of alcohol is a luxury drink here, and the quantity is very limited, most of which are supplied to the workers of the construction team.And this glass of wine is from Nuonuo's own collection.

Orwell picked up his glass, expressed his gratitude to this great and approachable weapon of final battle among the stars, and said while drinking:

"Yes, a great victory."

Nuonuo was behind the bar, smiling slightly:

"Just like the old days."

The "past" in Nuonuo's mouth is quite long, so long that Orwell couldn't understand it completely from books, so he simply stopped thinking about it.The old captain pointed to the ice shell dark worm on the screen with his free finger, and asked:

"I've never seen this type before, a deep dark worm with an ice shell and a body covered with ocean... Why did it grow like this?"

Nuonuo shrugged, then took out the bread and luncheon meat, and sliced ​​them with a sharp knife, as if he wanted to make a sandwich:

"Finally..." As soon as she opened her mouth, she remembered that within the scope of Oregana's leadership, this kind of monster was called a dark worm - obviously it was just a joke at the beginning, and she didn't know when it would be called. It has become the official name of this kind of interstellar natural disaster. "The dark worm itself is a kind of creature with very uncertain development. If there are a large number of dark worms in an area, then their appearance and performance will be very similar, but once they are in the area The swarms of the worms are extremely low - and what these lonely worms will evolve into... no one knows."

"what do you mean?"

"First of all, if this dark worm has not had time to devour civilization—that is to say, it is a primitive individual," Nuonuo raised a finger, and said, "This kind of individual is usually an egg-shaped individual, dark brown, attacking The method is carrier-based air fleet and biological laser cannon, basically don’t think about anything, just eat when you come, it’s the kind everyone knows.”

"Ah."

This kind of individual is basically the standard form of the dark worm, a big black egg, covered with eyestalks and arms and legs. If it is made into a small doll, even a three-year-old child can name this monster.

"Then, this original individual flew to a planet with civilization, and after the battle, it devoured the civilization-then the evolution began." Sandwich the luncheon meat in the bread slices randomly, and then put the finished simple sandwich on In front of Orwell "it will eat the ideas and technology of this civilization, and then transform in this direction. This transformation is not even dominated by 'survival' and 'swallowing'."

"Not dominated by 'survival' and 'swallowing'?" Orwell didn't pay attention to food at all. Although he came for lunch after finishing work in the morning, the secret of the dark worm that was not recorded in the database Shin is more attractive to him "What do you mean?"

"'Survival' and 'swallowing', as the basic attributes of dark worms, only exist in the infancy before devouring civilization - it doesn't mean that they will stop eating after that, but..." Nuonuo thought for a while, "If we say The nature of the dark worm itself is a glass of water, while the main trend of thought of the swallowed civilization is another glass of water, and the two glasses of water poured together are basically the nature of thinking of the dark worm after evolution."

Orwell was stunned, this is different from what he said...

"After devouring one or two civilizations, the thoughts of the ignorant bugs will basically be solidified, and they will no longer be affected by the trend of food thoughts, and focus on devouring..."

For Orwell, this kind of statement made it difficult for him to accept for a while-if the dark worm is really affected by the thought trend of 'food', why can't it feel the despair and pain, but will be more violent? What about chasing prey?

"Wait! Why... If this is the case, why do they still..."

Nuonuo interrupted him with his eyes:

"Captain Orwell, you have to know that this is just the influence of thoughts, not empathy. They don't sympathize with food..." As if she had touched something she didn't want to talk about, she paused, hesitated and finally decided He opened the mouth and said, "And what level of civilization would be swallowed by just a dark worm that hasn't evolved? And what do civilizations at this stage usually think about?"

What level of civilization would be swallowed by just a dark worm that didn't evolve?And what do civilizations at this stage usually consider?

It is probably the civilization of the initial stage of the space age that failed to point out the jump engine and is still trekking in the parent galaxy, and the civilization of this stage usually thinks most about acquiring resources and expanding.

Of course, acquiring resources and expanding are the most important things at this stage of civilization. People have discovered new worlds and set sail on the Milky Way with hope... However, the dark worms' brains can't understand this, they After all, the focus and way of thinking of the problem are different from most intelligent civilizations.

"!!"

"Then, we got a bug that thinks about expansion, resources, survival and devouring every day, and has a considerable degree of wisdom."

It sounds so natural, yet so scary.The grand vision of the development of intelligent life was misinterpreted and mixed with something indescribable, and then became the most terrible natural disaster in the universe... It sounds ironic and sad.

"Although there may be differences in details, for example, some like to control a group of stupid bugs to form a fleet, while others travel alone in the universe, hunting for opportunities to kill their own kind, and plundering what they need from their own kind - before even There have been records, raising several civilizations in captivity, sitting in a star field, and letting the "Familiars" provide technology to transform themselves into semi-mechanical Unicron-type individuals... You even brought the Familia's fleet with you when you acted, you wouldn't think Know how scary that thing is."

Of course, the universe is so big that there are all kinds of bugs. In addition to this kind of ferocious and hateful bugs with normal styles, there are also weird individuals.

The 7943rd refuge world (commonly known as the Avak world) once reported that a mild planet with an extremely favorable ecological environment was found. No matter what race goes up, within half a month, the temperature, humidity, and atmospheric structure will be adjusted. In order to be suitable for the existence of this kind of creature, after careful investigation, it was found that there was an evolved bug in the planet, whose hobby was to disguise itself as a Gaia planet.Seeing everyone living and working in peace and contentment on it feels like eating rice.

The No. 334 refuge world (commonly known as the Godarahan world) also has this kind of individual, which is like a dead mass inside the planet without moving, launching some of its limbs into the orbit of the star, and using the gravity of the star to build a Stellar antennas, the biggest entertainment every day is to receive and interpret the communication signals from the civilization of the galaxy next door. In the later stage, they even found a way to connect to the network of that civilization through analog signals. The first organization to discover the existence of this bug was not the research institute. It's not the army, it's Temiao who found out that there is a network operator whose users haven't paid the network fee for decades...

After the news spread, many netizens felt goosebumps all over their bodies, after all [You have the ability to follow the network signal to kill me! 】Many people have said this, right...

On the verge of death to test back and forth.jpg

Continue to reiterate that although the universe is big and there are all kinds of bugs, the dark worms are still terrifying and deadly creatures. Wherever the swarms go, everything withers. No one will be spared.

The only way is to fight with all your strength...

"...Ancestor."

"However, when the number of dark worm individuals in an area increases, the frequency of this strange mutant individual will decrease. Because the number of civilizations is far less than the number of worms, when there is nothing to eat, you can only eat rocks When the time comes, these guys won't evolve."

"But it's still too much to handle..."

"Yeah, that's what happened. This thing is terrible, but until now, Captain Oregana has handled it well."

Orwell smiled wryly.Now that this matter is over, he also feels that there are some things that need to be discussed with Captain Oregana.

Although the people of Mackenzie have gone through hardships, the fighting spirit deep in their hearts has not been exhausted by the long life of fleeing.

The pain of the destruction of their hometown has accumulated in the hearts of several generations, and the Mackenzie people always want to take revenge.If possible, I really want young people to learn the combat techniques of the Concord, and then...
