After breakfast the next day, Shao Jun put Daniel in his bag and boarded the spaceship with other participating experts. Shao Jun originally thought that the security check would be very strict, but he didn't check anything, and let the experts get on the spaceship. set sail.

After about seven or eight hours of interstellar flight and transition, they landed on an asteroid.

There are only rocks and deserts on this asteroid, but there are huge military bases built, all guarded by soldiers.After passing through heavily guarded checkpoints, the experts finally saw the legendary giant insect.

Looking down through the huge laboratory tempered glass observation surface, an insect like a hill is in the middle of the sandy soil, with a slightly dark green carapace, transparent wings under the carapace, and a chitin exoskeleton covering the body , the hexapod is a typical arthropod claw, and a pair of compound eyes refracted a strange light. It noticed the crowd at the entrance, buzzed and flapped its wings, and hit the glass roof with great force, and was strengthened by the glass. The mithril net in front of it was firmly blocked, but there was still a huge and heavy sound, and even the entire glass was shaking, which shows how powerful it is.

All the experts were talking about it, and it was very noisy for a while, and some experts even couldn't wait to stick it on the glass wall, observing it fascinatedly.

Daniel whispered excitedly in Shao Jun's ear: "It's perfect, how powerful the muscle fibers hidden in the joints will be! How rich the neurons will be in there! Such a big bug, separated It will be simpler, and it will be easier to cultivate replicas!"

Shao Jun stared at the huge worm, and murmured: "With such a huge force, it can still fly. If it lands in the city, it will be a disaster, right? Can mechs stop it? Can humans control it?" ?”

Just as I was talking, I saw a silver-white mecha descending from the sky on the other side of the glass wall. The mecha held a lightsaber in its hand, and there were two beautiful silver wings of light floating behind it. Shao Jun recognized that it was Marshal Ainu Lu The mech "Spring Breeze" that Silk had demonstrated.The bug had already stood upright, swinging its two front pincers to attack the mecha, the huge and sharp front pincers missed the mech, but hit the rock behind it, "Bang!" The front pincers penetrated deeply into the stone, showing great destructive power.

"Spring Breeze" cut the lightsaber at the worm, only to see the worm raised its carapace, and the lightsaber slammed heavily on the carapace, without even leaving a trace.The experts were slightly agitated, and saw the mecha soaring into the air, and opened the howitzer again, and countless howitzers with white smoke blasted towards the bug in a dense manner.

However, the hard chitin is still invincible, but it has only slightly changed its color, and the worm was also irritated by the shell. When he raised his mouth, he saw "Spring Breeze" quickly unfolding the ion shield, and the dirt and rocks around the worm The shock was overturned as if hit by something, and some experts whispered clearly: "It's a sonic attack, it's so powerful, I don't know if there is a specific value..."

I saw "Spring Breeze" in mid-air, adjusting the ion cannon on his shoulders, taking advantage of the bug's inability to adjust the attack direction for a while, firing a cannon ion cannon at close range, the clear trajectory of the projectile hit the bug accurately, and the experts were all dazzled. The light was so stimulating that he covered his eyes, and when he opened his eyes after a while, he saw that a huge deep pit had appeared on the ground, and the terrible bug was finally dying, but its six legs were still bouncing. Even a not-so-big hole appeared in the abdomen of the insect that came over. Obviously, even the ion cannon did not cause very devastating damage. It is conceivable that if the insect was not in this narrow laboratory, but had In the vast space, with the speed and strength it showed just now, as long as it can dodge the ion cannon, the mecha may not be able to kill it so easily.

The experts commented one after another: "The speed is very fast, and I feel that the intelligence is also very high."

"Isn't it really a mutated insect that has been irradiated?"

"Have you ever seen such a large mutated insect? It can only be born naturally. I don't know what it eats to grow so large. It is probably an outer space creature."

Ge Li said on the high platform: "Everyone, please be quiet. Next, our First Army commander, General Song Laode, is here to tell you about the basic situation of this insect discovery."

The crowd fell silent, only to see an imposing general walking onto the stage, with silver-gray hair, eagle eyes and a high nose, he nodded to everyone: "First of all, I would like to thank all experts for coming to our space base today to participate in this important event that concerns all mankind. military projects."

The experts fell silent, and Song Laode reached out and pressed a light screen first: "All the experts have seen it just now. The speed, strength, and attack power of this kind of insect are quite amazing, and the insect you just saw is still It's just a larva that's been hatched from an egg for less than three days."

The experts made surprised comments, and Song Laode continued: "Three months ago, our starship in the Venus system was attacked by insect swarms, and we wiped them out after a very hard fight. And also captured a batch of worm eggs. The larvae you saw just now are the larvae hatched by the biological experts we invited."

He paused, looked at the experts who were still whispering below, and continued: "However, in the past three months, the analysis of the messages sent back by our satellites has found traces of this kind of insect swarm again, about There can be tens of thousands of live adults moving fast in space. They once stayed on a mine star for a short time, and then gnawed all the mines of that mine star in just one star hour. This group of flying Worms, from our initial monitoring images, presumably emerged from a cosmic black hole."

On the light screen, a whole group of Zerg races in the boundless space flew bustlingly into an asteroid, densely covering the entire surface of the planet, with towering carapaces and vibrating wings covering the sky and the sun. People are creepy.

The experts were in an uproar, and Song Laode said: "What's more frightening is that they are still laying eggs and multiplying at a very fast rate. According to our monitoring, there were more than 3 insects in that swarm a month ago. The number of images sent back daily has doubled to more than [-]."

Song Laode said solemnly: "We have tried to organize forces to encircle and suppress them, but as you have seen just now, an elite mech can barely fight one or two adult insects with all its strength, and then the energy is gone. Chime, I can only return to the mothership to continue replenishing energy. And these tens of thousands of adult insects will also send out sound waves to attack at the same time, interfere with our signals, and destroy our weapons. This is a terrible enemy, and they are still everywhere. Looking for planets to settle down, but the planets they pass by will not grow any grass, and even the minerals will be eaten up. Before leaving, they will lay insect eggs and then leave. The eggs can hatch after a month. Initial food, rapid growth, and then continue to fly into space in groups to find their groups. Yes, they are a group, we have been monitoring them for a long time, their teams have a clear division of labor, some are responsible for finding food, and some are responsible for pathfinding Yes, there are those who are in charge of guarding, some are in charge of protecting the female worms, and some are in charge of attacking the enemy. It won’t take long for them to become an extremely terrifying number, and we humans will definitely encounter big trouble by then!”

All the experts changed their colors, and Song Laode said: "Today we invite all experts to participate in the research of this project to save all mankind. We secretly invited several biological experts to come two months ago. This kind of insect has been studied in depth. After the research of experts and Master Gerry, it is believed that after in-depth research, it should be possible to further improve the design of the mech and the function of the mecha, and develop a mecha that specifically restrains this kind of Zerg. All of you are senior mecha experts, I believe that everyone will be able to develop a special mecha through brainstorming."

At this time, some experts have already reacted: "The general means that we are forced to stay in the base to develop mechs?"

Song Laode bowed slightly: "Yes, we have submitted a wartime emergency call-up order to the Alliance Council. All the mech experts present here have become the targets of this wartime emergency call-up. Everyone can only stay in the base Concentrate on research, the military will do its best to provide various research conditions and research funds to guarantee everyone's research, and will try their best to meet the living requirements of food, housing and clothing. After developing the mecha, you will receive the Alliance Medal of Glory."

Some experts here have already changed their colors: "How long will this stay? We didn't ask for our consent in advance. My wife is in labor! I have to go back!"

Song Laode apologized: "I'm really sorry, because this project is a first-class military secret. Once the Zerg thing is leaked, it will cause great panic. Everyone should have signed a non-disclosure agreement, and everyone can only keep it in secret. The base is conducting isolation research until we find a way to restrain and fight against the Zerg. Please understand that this matter is related to the fate of our humanity, and the people will thank you for your efforts!"

As if a drop of water had fallen into hot oil, the terrified experts boiled over, and the crowd was passionate: "This is deceit! This forum was a conspiracy from the very beginning!"

"This is illegal detention! Violation of human rights!"

"Shameless You!"

"The elders in my family are critically ill, I have to go back!"

"I want to communicate with my family! The family will be worried!"

"There must always be a time limit, it is impossible to study here endlessly!"

"Is there any pay? The family needs living expenses!"

"Gerry come out and explain!"

Song Laode looked at the annoyed experts who felt deceived, and suddenly pulled out the gun at his waist and shot into the sky: "Bang!"

Everyone fell silent, and Song Laode said coldly: "Everyone, refusing to be recruited in wartime is tantamount to treason, and can be sentenced to interstellar prison/life imprisonment."

In the angry eyes of everyone, Song Laode smiled again, very sanctimonious: "I believe that all experts are very sacrificing, all mankind will thank you, and history will record your dedication and dedication. pay."
