too late, organism

From the perspective of the Human Federation, there are only two kinds of good aliens, one is the aliens who are under human surveillance like those space beavers and alien tentacle monsters, or they are dealt with by reliable marines aliens.

Except for these two kinds of aliens, the appearance of any kind of aliens in the territory of the human federation will provoke their fragile nerves, causing the citizens of the human federation to unconsciously put their hands on the handles of their guns.

Therefore, during the negotiations, the Human Federation was opposed to the joining of the Colo Arbitration Nation.

As the negotiator, the governor of the empire, Lan Lan, showed an ambiguous attitude of eating melons and watching the show. As a person who pretended to be a carbon-based creature and was not eager to assimilate, the only view he had on these new alien races was, Their anatomy did not allow them to develop into honorable Romans.

So when the Earth United Nations and the Human Federation were arguing in the meeting, Lan Lan collected all the public information of the alien civilization called the Kolo Arbitration Country.

The parent star of the Arbitration Kingdom of Kolo is a cold planet whose surface is covered by a thick layer of ice. The surface temperature has long been below minus [-] degrees, which is not suitable for human beings to survive.

These Kolo people, who look like even bigger lions, developed their civilization on this snow-covered planet.

The severe cold environment makes their size bigger than those of the same kind on the earth, and at the same time, it also makes these huge cats have intelligent brains that match their huge size, and matching them can be called resourceful and good at breaking things. Regular flexible mindset.

Of course, these big cats living in the ice and snow are not perfect. As the top predators at the top of the ecological chain of their home planet Elia, in order to maintain the ecological balance, nature allows these big cats to have the same characteristics as the dreadful erect ape next door. The fertility rate is much lower, and as apex predators they cannot suppress the aggressive nature carved into their DNA even after stepping into the interstellar stage.

And the amazing thing is that although these big cats are bloodthirsty and violent, these big cats have been with another rodent creature that is less than half their size on their home planet long, long ago—— — Kuwab reached a symbiotic relationship.

Unlike the horrific upright apes that slaughtered their own subspecies, the small rodents were trained to hunt for the big cats and guard their camp while the big cats were still feeding.

When these big cats got rid of the slow Stone Age and entered the Bronze Age, these mice who looked like giant eyes began to undertake the most difficult tasks in the big cat society, going to those dangerous mines Mine ore, plant crops near scalding fountains, and fill battle lines as cannon fodder in battle to reduce the casualties of those precious Kolo warriors.

After Colo entered the industrial society, these mice began to assume the responsibility of entering the factory and being squeezed to the last bit of flesh and blood.

It wasn't until the big cats learned how to navigate the stars and put one foot on the threshold of socialism that the living conditions of the mice really improved.

However, millions of years of domestication from the Stone Age have made these originally intelligent mice become servile and stupid. If there is no big cat to give them instructions in various ways, these mice will start to know nothing Get up.

After the big cats who have finally become civilized after being full find that they can no longer make these mice "normal", these big cats are ready to use their sharp claws to "restore" the crimes they once committed. the next mistake, to build a beacon of freedom for those races of the stars who are as oppressed as the Rats were once.

However, those big cats, as a race that can chat with the terrifying erect ape, although they don't have nitroglycerin flowing in their blood vessels like the terrifying erect ape.

But the rite of passage is still to fight fierce beasts and hunt their heads. The culture of big cats also has a strong military color.

It's like the democratic election tradition of these big cats, which came from the tribal system of the barbaric era, and was born to prevent those bloody big cat warriors from spilling blood in unnecessary places.

It effectively prevented the warriors of those tribes from spattering the tribal chiefs with five steps of blood when they disagreed, and at the same time, it also gave those chiefs a chance to live to old age and die instead of being used as a bowl by someone.

So when the cats heard that their fellow democratic friends, the United Nations of Earth, were going to invite them to join a military alliance, the cats were extraordinarily interested.

Chapter 168 Chapter 157

Although the big cats are very interested in the military alliance of the Iron and Steel Alliance, under the strong opposition of the Human Federation, the question of whether to let the Kolo Arbitration Kingdom composed of these big cats and mice join the Iron and Steel Alliance has always been on the negotiating table Can't argue.

The representatives of the Human Federation used great perseverance to restrain the instincts they had developed in the army for the first time after they saw the beasts that were almost five meters tall when they stood up in the Kolo Arbitration Country. Instead, he pulled out his plasma pistol and shot it overheating, but instead gave the big cat a friendly yet awkward smile.

Even if the well-informed Human Federation diplomats are like this, the attitude of the Human Federation towards the big cats and rats in the Colo Arbitration Country will naturally not be so good.

Therefore, the negotiations on whether the United Nations of the Earth and the Arbitration Country of Kolo join the Iron and Steel Alliance have always been in a rhythm of one step forward, two steps back, and returning to the original place.

But during the talks, an incident occurred that brought the debate, which seemed to last until the end of the world, to an end within two days.

The United Nations of Earth, which had spent more than half a year without making any progress in the negotiations, officially announced its membership in the Iron Alliance, and the Arbitration Country of Kolo also obtained the status of an observer state of the Iron Alliance.

With the joining of the United Nations of the Earth, the Iron and Steel Alliance immediately began to mobilize for the first time after its establishment.

A few days earlier, the Earth United Nations colony in the Magellanic system had been attacked.

As the country with the longest history established by the Horror Upright Ape, the United Nations of Earth has maintained the tradition of the Horror Upright Ape in the history of establishing a new colony, starting with the construction of defense facilities, and then filling up the armed forces before starting farming.

Therefore, in the United Nations colony of the Magellan galaxy, in addition to having a star fortress that also functions as a trading post and a port, it also has a defense fleet composed of cruisers and destroyers.

In addition to collecting taxes for the tax agency of the United Nations on Earth, the daily task of this fleet is to eliminate some bad things that not only do not pay taxes, but also have business conflicts with legitimate businessmen. Traditionally, those bad things were stripped off the space suits and hung outside the port locks to dry.

The only thing that is different from the ancient tradition of the scary upright ape is that under the low-temperature vacuum environment, those bad things will not rot into a pile of bones and fall into the sea, but will turn into a pile of bones after dehydration. A desiccated mummy, as long as no one picks it up, it will float on that gate forever.

As part of the delusion of the terrifying upright ape engraved deep in the DNA, in addition to the garrison fleet stationed here, the United Nations of the Earth also stationed a battleship detachment at the anchorage of the star Reach not far from this galaxy. Team.

If there is a problem that cannot be solved by the colonial garrison fleet, these combat readiness fleets stationed at the naval anchorages near the colonial galaxy will be dispatched immediately. As long as the colonial garrison fleet can last for 72 hours, these combat readiness fleets can be put into battle to fight fiercely. Kick the ass of anyone who dares to trouble Homo erectus.

If these combat readiness fleets find that the invading enemies have exceeded the range they can handle, then the Earth United Nations Central Fleet equipped with Peacemaker-class Titans will appear next, and the rest of the anchorages will come to support the combat readiness fleet. grand fleet.

This fleet defense system has proven its value in conflicts several times. Once a tribe of the Evanson barbarians tracked the regular cruise ships of the Earth United Nations between the Human Federation and the Earth United Nations colonial galaxy, and found a colony of the Earth United Nations. .

Then, and then there is nothing more, after the garrison fleet of the United Nations of the Earth persisted for 53 hours, the combat readiness fleet arrived and completely ended the history of the Evanson tribe, except for a few survivors who involuntarily assisted the scientists of the United Nations of the Earth research, or entered the xenozoo to show the biodiversity in the universe, the rest basically no longer exist physically.

But this time, after the defense fleet of the Earth United Nations stationed in the Magellanic system sent a support request to the combat readiness fleet, the combat readiness fleet stationed at the reach anchorage arrived in the Magellan galaxy in less than [-] hours.

But they didn't find the once prosperous colonial planet in this galaxy. All that remained here were the wreckage of the defense fleet, the space station that was irreversibly falling towards the star after being captured by the star's gravity, and a disintegrated star. Slowly forming an asteroid belt of planets, that is the alien colony of the United Nations of the Earth in this galaxy - Magellan VII.

This sudden attack not only shocked the entire United Nations on Earth, but also made the Human Federation, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Colo Arbitration State look like cats scared by cucumbers, and they almost arched their backs and blew their fur to make a "ha!" sound.

This unknown force can destroy a United Nations colony of the earth with a population of billions in one raid this time, so next time they will be able to destroy the colony of the Human Federation or the colonial planet of the Colo Arbitration State.

Regarding this unknown force that destroyed a colony inhabited by billions of people without even a little diplomatic communication, the entire Iron Alliance, whether it was the Earth United Nations that had just joined, or the Kolo Arbitration State that was just an observer state, came to the conclusion came to a conclusion.

For the safety of all, they must destroy this dangerous force.

Although this unknown force moved so fast that the Earth Federation garrison fleet stationed in the Magellan galaxy was completely destroyed before the combat readiness fleet arrived.

But the shipboard computers in their wreckage not only left their battle data, but also their fighting was not without the slightest value, although they failed to defend the Magellan colony they were supposed to guard.

However, the staff members of the Tactical Section of the Joint Staff Department of the Iron Alliance, who were in charge of restoring the battlefield, still found the body left by the mysterious invader and the wreckage of the battleship they used on the battlefield.

The intruders looked like giant echinoderms, and from their torn space suits and the large amount of ice left in the wreckage of the battleship, it was confirmed that the intruders were aquatic creatures.

According to the analogy of creatures known to humans, these invaders are like some oversized starfish that can pilot spaceships, except that these big starfish also have an ugly face and a body that is a little bigger than the standard human body Otherwise, it's basically an oversized starfish with a face.

Chapter 169 Chapter 158

While it was determined exactly what had struck and destroyed Colony Magellan VII, the work of the Iron Alliance Joint Staff had only just begun.

As the history of civilization is almost equal to the history of war, the horrible erect apes have become cunning and cruel in endless wars, which means that these horrible erect apes will not be like cats seeing laser dots after discovering the enemy" Whoosh" and rushed forward.

According to the war tradition of the terrifying upright apes, before they engage in a war, they will first figure out what kind of enemy they are facing and what their weaknesses are, and then just like when they were still hunting with stone tools, Take advantage of the weaknesses of the prey who are not good at long-distance running, use your own strength in endurance to run those prey to death, and target those weaknesses to death.

Therefore, the Joint Staff of the Iron Alliance, the largest, most professional and efficient organization in the military alliance, not only sent a large-scale battlefield research team to the Magellan galaxy, but also sent hundreds of reconnaissance teams.

These reconnaissance fleets composed of frigates will follow all possible routes of the attack fleet to track down the murderers who slaughtered the entire colony.

And those professional trace appraisers are an indispensable member of battlefield restoration, and their task is to deduce from the cold wreckage on the battlefield what exactly did this.

Through the appraisal results of these experts, the military bureaucrats in the Quartermaster Department who sit behind thick documents can know what equipment should be equipped for frontline soldiers, at least not for desert planetary combat equipment for soldiers fighting on icy planets.

However, this time there is a large group of geologists and astronomers in the team of appraisers. Their task is to study how Magellan [-] was blown into pieces.

Obviously, even those who have seen the traces of tens of thousands of twisted metals cannot restore how a planet was blown up.

Before these terrifying upright apes could get out of their home planet, their arsenal was full of nuclear weapons that could wash away their home star's ecosphere hundreds of times, and after they left their home galaxy, their The yield of bombs in the arsenal has increased exponentially.

It's just that even the craziest shipboard weapon in the arsenal of these horrific erectus apes is nothing more than a literal planet-shaking ground-seismic bomb, a highly efficient penetrating warhead capable of triggering an The violent plate movement squeezed all the guys trying to avoid orbital blows in the underground shelter into various cakes.

And when the geologists and astronomers spat tons of drool at each other, they came to the incredible conclusion that the planet was destroyed by a jet of thermal energy in an attack.

It's like a can in a microwave oven, after being heated by a high enough jet of thermal energy to detonate the core of the planet, and then use a smaller jet to smash the planet into pieces like a watermelon hit by a hammer .

This means that the civilization with this technology far surpasses all civilizations in the Iron Alliance in terms of energy utilization efficiency.

This is not a slight technological advantage over a front-loading gun versus a breech-loading gun, but a comprehensive transcendence in physics and engineering technology. To destroy a planet in one shot, they first need a powerful enough gun Reactor, to provide enough energy to destroy a planet.

Then they also need a launch device that is stable enough to release this energy to the target in a stable manner, instead of blowing themselves into a pile of scrap iron.

Then they need a structure that is stable enough and large enough to hold these things.

Finally, there is a set of superlight and sublight engine groups powerful enough to drag this behemoth to the target location, instead of blowing up planets like our own technological world or archive world.

Even the Human Federation, which already has a Titan formation, is temporarily unable to manufacture such a terrifying war machine.

After concluding that the attacker's technological level far exceeded the technological level possessed by the Iron Federation, the Iron Federation expanded the scale of their mobilization.

According to the war experience of the terrifying Homo erectus, technological advantages are almost equal to productivity advantages, and unless the war can be carried out very smoothly, the war will basically become a competition between productivity, so the Iron Alliance must attack in the first wave. China will try its best to expand its advantages.

So the members of the Iron Alliance began to put their bottom-of-the-box armed forces into the attack sequence for this attack.

The United Nations of Earth dispatched their proud Titan formation and enough battleship fleets. After the Human Federation reorganized the fleet, they assembled a team of veterans who had at least participated in the first battle for the relics of the pioneers. Formed aircraft carrier task force.

The Holy Roman Empire, on the other hand, simply dispatched all its warships, and also dispatched a medical fleet transformed from an immigrant ship of the SCP Foundation, preparing to undertake the medical mission of the alliance fleet. Even the observer country of the Iron Alliance The Kolo Arbitration Country also sent a female Kolo auxiliary fleet to join the Grand Fleet.

As an empire established by feline creatures, the way of organizing the armed forces of the Colo Arbitration Kingdom is in line with their hunting methods in the barbaric era.

Women are responsible for commanding the poor big rats to hunt or plant, while men are responsible for expelling dangerous creatures in the territory or fighting with the rest of the tribe.

Although the course of history has allowed female Kolos to join the battle when these big cats killed each other, these big cats still use the fleet formation method of dividing the sexes.

Male Kolos are more violent and aggressive than females. Thanks to their hunting activities in ancient times, when they focus on killing, these cruel big cats can get more powerful under the action of adrenaline. Fast neural response, the nerve reflex eight times faster than that of the horrific erect ape allows them to perform more extreme operations than the horrific erect ape pilot.

Therefore, in the fleet of the Arbitration Kingdom of Kolo, the fleet in charge of the male is usually an attack frigate or an attack frigate. This requires both courage and technology. An excellent captain can use Kolo Royal Fleet to show off the enemy like a barrage game A ship with a face like a ship.

The more organized female Kolos are usually in charge of cruisers and battleships, which require more discipline.

During the first industrial revolution of the Kolo people, the female Kolo line infantry who marched in a neat formation to the last ten steps before firing, interrupted the violent charge of the male Kolo cavalry more than once, and then used snow The bayonets taught the male Kolo cavalrymen that times were changing.

Even after boarding the starship, the fleet led by these female Kolos is the same as the era when the flintlock ruled the roost. No matter what kind of blow they suffer, they can maintain their array stably until a new order is issued or They were all wiped out.

Chapter 170 159 Triumph

"Cheer! Citizens! The latest weapon of the empire has successfully completed the test! The clowns who dared to offend the majesty of the empire have paid the price for their foolishness! Star Sea Empire! Invincible!"

With the size of the moon and the ability to destroy planets with a single blow, the giant battleship known as the giant soldier returned to its home port and began its maintenance after its first battle.

The emperor of the Star Sea Empire has declared victory in this vengeance operation to his loyal empire.

A Titan formation, a Colossus just put to the test of the field, managed to destroy the ugly naked ape colony in this operation.

In the eyes of the emperor of the Star Sea Empire, this action is enough to warn those naked apes not to offend the majesty of the empire.

As creatures at the bottom of the food chain among aquatic animals, these large starfish took far more time than other civilizations to establish their first kingdom below sea level.

As creatures at the bottom of the food chain, these large starfish have developed a deep military tradition and an instinct for solidarity and cooperation when they hold weapons made of coral and deal with the endless predatory creatures in the ocean.

The short natural lifespan of these starfish makes them pay more attention to unity and understand what it means to be dedicated, and at the same time, they become unusually vengeful and stubborn.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth.

It is not just a proverb in the Star Sea Empire, but an oath used by all Star Sea Empire armed personnel when they swear to join the Star Sea Empire's armed forces.

In the distant past, these starfish needed to use the cruelest means to deter the predators in the ocean and the terrestrial civilization above the sea level of their parent star.

The vast majority of their home planets are submerged below sea level, and the lack of land area makes the terrestrial civilization that has disappeared in the long river of history have to obtain resources from the continental shelf to allow their civilization to continue to develop.

But the continental shelf area happens to be the most suitable area for these starfish to live on the entire planet.

So in order to compete for resources in the continental shelf, the war between starfish and those terrestrial creatures lasted for thousands of years.

The starfish attack the divers of the land creatures, scuttle their harvesters, and raid all the cities and villages of the land creatures that lie near the shoreline.

And those terrestrial creatures will continue to use land reclamation to destroy the habitat of the starfish, discharge all the pollutants they can find into the sea, and organize an expeditionary fleet to destroy the starfish by dropping explosives Cities below sea level.

This slow war lasted until the two civilizations entered the end of the second industrial revolution. Those starfish, relying on their resource advantages and their rapid reproduction ability matching their short lifespan, used the dual advantages of industrial production capacity and population to completely Defeated that terrestrial civilization.

And as the end of this slow war and the reciprocal revenge of that terrestrial civilization detonating their only two reactors in desperation, the last remains of that terrestrial civilization were also wiped out by the raging starfish, only the last A specimen of a terrestrial creature was placed in Starfish's war museum as the end of the slow war.

And this successful deterrent operation to destroy a colonial planet and the success of the test of the ultimate weapon made the Star Sea Empire decide to hold a triumphant ceremony for these warriors who had just executed a perfect raid.

Just like in the distant past, these starfish will do after successfully slaughtering a city of land creatures.

On the armor plate, there are still traces of the battleship formation left after the battle with the United Nations Defense Fleet of the Earth, surrounding the giant combat device that can change the tide on the planet by virtue of its own mass once it enters the gravitational circle - the Giant God Soldier, according to The ancient tradition slowly orbits the parent star at a low speed.

While the starfish on the mother star can observe the Giant God Soldiers with the naked eye, these starfish believe that their power is enough to shake the entire galaxy, and no stupid and despicable civilization dares to offend the great star sea empire.

Just as the Star Sea Empire held a triumphal ceremony to celebrate this successful attack, and the borders of the Empire's armed forces expanded once again.

A reconnaissance team from the Human Federation found the way the raiders had come, a wormhole at the edge of the cantilever leading to an unknown area.

Although hyperspace voyage, a super-light speed voyage, does not leave a wake like curvature voyage in the universe, at the same time, because light cannot catch up with these high-speed starships, they are almost undetectable during super-light voyage.

However, this hyperspace navigation method must rely on sub-light speed engines to sail for a period of time in each galaxy, which left clues for these pursuers. In addition, these images that have long since left the fleet were observed.

After confirming that the attackers relied on the wormhole to launch the attack, the Iron Alliance began to build forward bases in accordance with the tradition of the dreaded erect ape.

The Iron Alliance plans to build a sufficiently strong fortress in the galaxy where the wormhole is located, and a large number of armed space stations as the fleet's forward base. Once the attack is blocked, they can also rely on holding on to this fortress group to prevent their fragile hinterland from being attacked.

In the several galaxies next to this galaxy that can be reached with only one jump, the Iron Alliance has also begun to build large-scale space facilities, but unlike the fortress group, these large-scale space facilities are all docks and hospitals to quickly replenish the fleet. combat power.

In order to be able to quickly complete the construction of these space facilities, except for the large fortress group named [New Constantinople] next to the wormhole, which was jointly constructed by the three alliance countries of the Iron Alliance, the remaining four galaxies The space stations in the world are built and maintained by each member country and observer country.
