Chapter 408 Purification

The white flames at the rear of the hyperspace engine gradually subsided, and the Imperial fleet finally approached the planet that Renault marked for us. Just as he introduced, there is a sun that is on the verge of death. Its light has not yet dimmed, but that It is just the return of light that the nuclear fuel in it is about to be exhausted. In our detection, the core of this star that is releasing light and heat unstablely is filled with liquid high-temperature iron. Their content is so amazing that it has almost reached a The limit that a star can tolerate may not take more than a few hundred years. The nuclear fuel, hydrogen and helium contained in it will be exhausted and transformed into this metallic element that is completely unable to release any nuclear energy in a series of reactions. By then The entire star will collapse due to the loss of internal power, and eventually explode into a red giant due to the sharp increase in internal pressure and temperature. This small star system will also be wiped out and return to its mother's belly—— Theoretically, there is nothing vulgar in my statement.

There are only three planets in total, which is less than the famous solar system of the cosmic poor. Its first and second planets are all too close to the sun, and the surface temperature is often as high as hundreds of degrees. My sister thinks that such direct sunlight will seriously damage her skin. , so they were immediately thrown out of our consideration, and the planet-wide earthquakes that average once every thirty seconds are not in line with the building regulations in ISO9001 (if this thing exists), from this point of view Renault didn't lie to us, its third planet is much better in comparison.

Although the purple-black planet doesn't look very beautiful.

We have now arrived on the bridge of the main flagship. The huge holographic projection here looks much more exciting than the star map in the combat research room.

"The child's father, I found some life reactions on the surface of the target planet."

Just when I was about to give the order for the fleet to park and enter orbit, the sound of bubbles suddenly rang on the bridge, and I almost fell off the place on the spot.

Renault, who had always been standing next to me and turned into a passerby, turned his head curiously, his unshaven face showing the aftertaste of someone who had just sobered up from alcohol: "I may have heard wrong, but... that was your wife just now? That's really strange. The way of speaking..."

Before I could answer, Bubble had taken over the giant holographic projection under the bridge. An image of a little girl suspended in a crystal prism immediately appeared in front of us, and behind the little girl, there were several identical crystals. There is a loli in each prism, blinking at this side with big innocent eyes.

"Hello, human, I am the core computer here," Bubble's voice echoed, "Besides, if you have any doubts about the relationship between me and my family, I will throw you into the reactor. "

I patted Renault's shoulder, whose expression suddenly became horrified, and comforted me in a low voice: "Don't think nonsense, she is definitely serious."

After successfully making Renault's expression even more horrifying, I looked up and asked the child's mother, who had been enlarged to a height of more than seven meters: "Life reaction? What is it?"

It is said that the universe is desolate. It has taken human scientists so long to find other living things in space. How dare they all gather in this star area?

"Zerg," as Bubble's words fell, the entire system's projection screen enlarged, revealing the scene on the surface of the planet. As expected, disgusting bugs and their wriggling organs were everywhere everywhere. " "Buildings", "They have covered nearly two-thirds of the planet. The sticky insect moss makes the entire planet's surface appear purple-black. It is best to clear these things before landing, but fortunately, those are Low-level bugs, conventional genocidal weapons can kill them."

Before we had any reaction, Renault had already taken a breath of cold air and clenched his fists hard, making a cracking sound as his joints rubbed together.

"Why do these bugs appear here?" The uncle who has been dealing with the Zerg for half his life said in a very serious tone. "This planet does not have many resources at all, and it is not worth occupying at all."

"The other party may have arrived by chance," Bubble kept switching the images on the holographic projection, showing me those disgusting guys from all angles, "The insect swarms covered on this planet are basically low-level units, and there is only one The Cerebrate is leading them, and the astral incendiary bombs can instantly destroy all the low-level Zerg, and the Cerebrate will have no resistance after it explodes."

"Prepare eop-03," Sandora decided without much thought, "There is no need to formulate any tactics for this kind of target."

Just when we pushed the deadly astral incendiary bomb into the launch platform and were about to ignite it for launch, a siren suddenly sounded through the bridge, and a mechanically synthesized electronic female voice continuously announced: "Warning! Warning! An abnormal gravitational explosion has been detected. There is an unknown unit that is about to jump through time and space, and there is an unknown unit that is about to jump through time and space! The identity of the opponent is unknown, and now is the best time to intercept."

Pandora, who had been silently playing a doll next to her for a long time, immediately came to life, rushed up and grabbed my arm and shook her: "Brother, if you suddenly activate the gravity trap at this time, you will definitely bury the opponent in an out-of-control space storm. of!"

Could you please stop saying such chilling things in such a coquettish manner like a little sister?

I decisively stopped the "Imperial Admiral"'s interception action, and led tens of thousands of warships to watch another much smaller fleet jump out not far from us.

They are a group of space battleships whose styles are completely different from human spaceships, and are even less likely to be similar to Xiling spaceships. They all have a streamlined overall design, with a halo of energy shields floating around the hull, and crystal-like functional structures can be seen everywhere. ——This is somewhat similar to our spaceships. Judging from the first impression, these new spaceships are much more advanced than Renault’s fleet. At least the energy shield that sweeps across the entire hull at any time is It can't be compared to the layers of heavy armor of Renault's Hyperion.

The scale of this new fleet is not large. Excluding the drones that are flying up and down like moths around the mother ship, there are only about a hundred or so large warships. The leader is a The extremely large spaceship looks like several oval capsules combined. Of course, the hugeness here is compared with Renault's Hyperion - a battleship with a length of more than ten kilometers is astonishing to humans, but Compared with the "Imperial Admiral" which is hundreds of kilometers away, it is only a frigate.

"The Protoss?" Renault murmured to himself in surprise, "They actually appeared here. It seems that as long as there is a place where the Zerg appears, the Protoss will easily take notice of it - these two races have obviously not appeared here for several years. It’s already in the Pianxing District.”

"It has been detected that the other party has an energy form similar to psionic energy, and the target energy sample is being analyzed..."

While Qianqian and I were commenting on the beauty of each other's ships, the automatic scanning radar of the "Empire Admiral" suddenly issued such a prompt, causing the entire bridge to become silent for an instant.

Everyone, including Viska, who never calmed down, and Sandora, who was always calm and composed, were stunned.

"Excuse me...what happened?"

Of course, Renault didn't know the reason why we suddenly became quiet. He just felt that the atmosphere around him suddenly became weird. Everyone around him was an expert who could dismantle Gundam with bare hands. At this moment, the powerful force field we inadvertently leaked made him feel it instinctively. Danger.

Even Tex, who always looked carefree and looked around with a cigar that could never be lit, couldn't help but touch his forehead: there were shiny beads of sweat on it.

"The child's father has sent a contact request. Do you accept it?"

The sound of bubbles broke the solid atmosphere on the bridge. Although she was equally shocked, the pure logic module of Xiling's host allowed her to continue her work instinctively.

In other words, has the tearful thing like "her child's father" become one of her instincts?

While instructing the relevant personnel to start scanning the energy forms on the opponent's spacecraft, I adjusted my clothes and the expression on my face, and asked Bubble to connect the pan-frequency connection.

An et immediately appeared on the holographic projection in front of us... ahem, it was the Protos clan. The strange shape of the other party inevitably aroused the curiosity of several native species of the earth such as Qianqian and I. The blue color was slightly Rough skin, tall body, eyes shining with blue and white light, and compared to the "faceless man" invented by Blizzard, the real Protos is obviously much more beautiful, at least except for the overall elongated face and Except for the tentacles on the opponent's chin, the alien's facial features roughly matched those of humans.

I really like the Draenei in World of Warcraft - this is the conclusion I finally came to.

This should be a male...well, probably a male.

"Humanity?"

After seeing my appearance, the Protos commander first made a confused voice, "But it is impossible for humans to have such a fleet."

What do you think I should answer?

I shrugged: "In fact, I am quite surprised to find a race so similar to ours in this sector - we are from the Xiling Empire."

The commander of Protos had a surprised expression on his face. It was obvious that he had never heard of such a race in this sector (this is really tearful...), but soon, he was right Convenience regained his composure and nodded to me: "I'm glad to meet my fellow travelers in the vast universe. I am the commander from Ayr, Duhan."

The other party greeted me politely and showed his identity in accordance with interstellar conventions. It did not have the superior feeling of the Protos "gods" that I imagined. Of course, it is also possible that he was facing a one-armed ship. When he saw a huge starship that was as long as his entire fleet combined and had high-energy reactions wherever he scanned it, he felt a little arrogant.

I nodded to the other party with a faint smile: "I am very happy to meet my fellow traveler in the vast universe, Commander Du Han. I am the emperor of the Xiling Empire from another star region, Chen Jun. I am here to Purify this place of dangerous bugs."

"Are you here for the Zerg?"

Delaney... ahem, the expression on the face of Protoss Commander Duhan changes. Unfortunately, I can still understand the simple expression, but in my eyes, such complex muscle movements are just a waltz of tentacles.

I nodded to the side to indicate that the astral incendiary bomb could enter the launch preset, and said with a smile to Duhan: "According to the Aboriginal friend next to me, your purpose seems to be to eliminate the Zerg on this planet, but now You can save your ammunition - release eop-03."

Following my order, the astral incendiary bomb that had been launched for a long time immediately released its safety lock. A door with a width of two kilometers was opened near the bottom of the huge cross starship, and a rectangular ejection channel was revealed. A bright flame shone in the passage, and finally condensed into a semi-physical alienated bomb. Then, under the action of the force field accelerator, it turned into a silver torrent and rushed into the turbid and thick atmosphere below.

eop-03, one of a series of unlimited weapons created by the Xiling people. Most of the structures of this special "bomb" specially used for genocide are not entities, but use an alienated psionic crystal as the core. With the help of a series of stabilizing force fields, the huge psionic energy released from the crystal is bound into a semi-material form, and a series of calcium, iron, zinc, and tin vitamins that are beneficial to the health of the planet are added at the same time... Well, in fact, I don’t know what those things are. What is it? In short, after this kind of bomb is unlocked, it will produce a violent release of energy once it comes into contact with enough material. The part of the nether energy that is close to the abyss energy will produce a chain reaction, assimilate and activate the crust of the entire planet, making these Things produce pure high temperature, and a moment of heat release and strong radiation is often enough to kill all living things on the entire planet. Moreover, this high temperature comes and goes quickly, and its "deflagration" effect will only last less than an hour. Apart from completely melting the earth's crust, it does not have much impact on the stability of the planet itself. It is really a good thing for killing people, stealing money, food, and territory.

Although the cost of eop-03 is heartbreaking, at least it can leave us with a complete colonial star, which is much more cost-effective than the sniper cannon that can dismantle the entire planet into single atoms at once.

The activated astral incendiary bomb dragged a gorgeous light belt and hit the surface of the planet hard. For the first two seconds, there was no reaction, but then, the unprecedented flash blinded every pair of krypton gold dogs present. Eye.

A series of gray shock waves spread out extremely quickly, blowing away the planet's atmosphere and rumpling its solid crust. These things began to burn while floating in the air, causing the next few shock waves to become increasingly stained with... Dazzling red, the speed of these shock waves far exceeds the speed of sound by dozens of times, and the more deadly psionic radiation sweeps across the surface of the star at sub-light speed. In just a few minutes, the entire nameless planet has been turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Red and hot, like a second sun, the light and shadow effect is simply amazing.

"The child's father, it's done."

The sound of bubbles interrupted the admiration in my heart. I calmly vibrated the stiff facial features at a speed of thirty times per second, soothed the poker face that was temporarily solidified by surprise, and then gently He patted Renault, who had completely turned into a wooden man: "Hey, wake up, it's done."

Renault's whole body trembled as if he had been hit by a ghost, and then his eyes finally shifted from the nameless planet that had turned into a sea of ​​fire to my face.

"Bubbles, release the Xiling host." I briefly checked the scanned planet energy residue, "In addition, send two senior apostles to lead the elite troops to protect the host, and kill the one whose life force is so powerful that he can soak in hot springs in magma. Brainworm, who wants to go down?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a strong wind blowing beside me. When I turned around, Pandora and Visca, the two little guys who had been suppressed for a long time, were gone.

Have you really held it back to this extent?

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Xiling people, since the Zerg on this planet have been purified by the flames, I think I should leave."

When the heavy assault ship carrying three Xiling hosts, under the personal escort of Pandora and Viska, left the landing platform of the "Imperial Admiral" and entered the atmosphere of the unknown planet, the commander of Protos spoke out. Indicated intention to leave.

Sure enough, just as I remembered, most people in Protos have an attitude of indifference and bystander towards life outside their own race. It is not arrogance, but innate insensitivity - they rarely pay attention to people other than themselves. something other than belief.

"Of course, I'm sorry to make your trip in vain. I hope we have the opportunity to meet again in the future. May victory and happiness always be with you."

As my words fell, the huge imperial fleet also retreated slightly symbolically by half a kilometer. This distance was even negligible compared with the combat radius of the space battleship, but it made Duhan, who was already a little nervous, immediately exposed. We showed a relaxed expression, and then the Protos fleet disappeared from our sight after finishing the soy sauce.

The work efficiency of Xiling hosts is amazing. However, within a few hours, three bright silver patches have gradually formed on the surface of the magma-ravaged planet, and they are still expanding rapidly. Compared with establishing a complex military base, using nanometer The speed at which the mechanical cluster shapes the alloy ground is simply outrageous.

On the red flame star, silver bright spots spread at an alarming speed, just like rapidly worsening psoriasis... Well, that's what it means anyway. The entire planet seems to be infected by something, and is gradually being covered with a layer of psoriasis. Layers of armor.

"The imperial fleet is preparing to land, and the chief flagship issues navigation instructions."

The sound of bubbles was mixed with the mechanically synthesized electronic female voice. Some of the preset landing warships, including the huge "Imperial Admiral", slowly broke away from the array and then landed towards the ground.

"Oh, I swear, when those 'gods' left, their calves must be cramping."

Seeing the silver-white alloy ground rapidly expanding in his field of vision, Tykes sighed like this to cover up the fact that his calf was cramping.

Renault cast a sidelong glance at his old friend, noncommittal to his statement, and then continued to observe the rapidly "growing" alloy surfaces on the ground with a somewhat curious expression. This construction method was obviously different from the three major races in this star area. Of any kind, even if he is not a scientist, his curiosity is fully aroused.

The "Imperial Admiral" finally landed on the largest of the three silver spots. When we landed, this piece of land had expanded into a metal body that was a thousand kilometers long on one side. Not only was it incredibly strong, it was also It also isolates the earth's crust that is still in a semi-melted state below. As this metal ground rapidly expands, there is also a huge energy shield, which perfectly simulates the ecological environment on the earth: even though the body has been strengthened to the point where it can travel in space physically. At this point, I still don’t like doing aerobic exercise in a highly toxic atmosphere that is as high as 300 degrees Celsius and filled with rock vapor.
