Chapter 225 What if our roles were reversed
? Star travel was a new thing at first.
Because the same work is repeated every day.
Even if you can look at the same bright and gorgeous but different shapes of stars outside the porthole window.
Enjoy the breathtaking views of this divided beauty.
After a while, like everything else, it becomes boring.
The most intuitive analogy is navigation.
Going out to sea on a yacht, fishing, having parties, and spinach;
and becoming a sailor and living on various ships all year round as a career are two different things.
Fortunately, this interstellar voyage only lasted three days, so Link didn't feel bored at all.
He still maintains a good impression and love for interstellar navigation.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
"Yunni" successfully arrived in the star system where the mission world is located.
Even though this star system is isolated outside the Milky Way, it was the territory of the once super-civilized Zerg world.
Now he is also within the confines of the wizarding world.
Therefore, it is difficult to imagine whether the voyage of the "Yunni" will go smoothly.
What?
Interstellar pirates?
Which wizarding organization would be willing to be shady pirates?
The income is low, there is no status, and it is easy to be robbed, sanctioned by the Supreme Council, and lose the protection of the will of the wizarding world.
Which interstellar pirate from any other civilization would dare to rob a wizard?
Are you tired of living?
Not to mention the revenge after the fact in the wizarding world, even if you want to rob, you don't have the strength.
After entering the star system, "Yun Ni" began to slow down.
Soon, they arrived near the mission world from the periphery.
Sandora did not arrange for the "Yunni" to land on the mission world, an ugly planet with a sparse atmosphere, no green plants on the surface, and all pits and pits.
Instead, he led 11 members of the miniature army to the belly of the "Yun Ni".
There are several shuttles parked here that can be used to travel between planets and star battleships.
In this way, the "Yun Ni" interstellar battleship does not need to land and is completely in a safe zone, which can ensure the retreat of the micro army.
In an emergency, the wizard in danger can also be moved directly to the inside of the battleship by moving the rune array.
"Let's go."
Sandora waved her hand and gave the order, quite high-spirited.
As the great-granddaughter of two great sages, she grew up in a honeypot and enjoyed the tightest security.
Never been in danger.
This experience actually made her develop a passion for adventure.
The formation of a micro-legion this time to investigate the anomalies in the Level 3 Zerg world can be regarded as her first truly independent adventure in her twenty-year life.
I feel quite excited.
The group boarded one of the shuttles.
Shandora did not pilot it herself this time, but asked a round-faced, smiling-eyed young man from the academy's main family to be in charge of controlling the shuttle.
This man received the instructions and cooperated very well without any delay.
To study with the prince, you have to know how to deal with it.
He sat in the cockpit and quickly started the shuttle's engine, getting ready to escape from the "Yuni".
Ask Sandora for instructions and communicate with the "Yun Ni" tower spirit.
The shuttle was ejected directly, drawing a straight line and shooting straight towards the bumpy Zerg planet.
"Wear protective life-support suits."
Sandora demonstrated in person, took out the suitcase, placed it on the floor, and stepped on it with her feet.
A special wave of mental power and magic was emitted, activating the suitcase's transformation function.
The suitcase was opened in all directions, first locking her feet, then moving up her calves, gradually covering it, and soon Shandora was tightly wrapped.
The process is silky smooth and extremely aesthetic.
The protective life-support suit is not thick, reasonably designed, and does not affect joint mobility.
The visor is transparent and does not obstruct vision.
It comes with a series of most important protective functions such as radiation protection, biochemical virus protection, and poisonous air protection, as well as the most important low-temperature suspended animation and sleep function.
After Link put on the protective life-support suit, he tried it and found that the natal witchcraft "war armor" could be used as usual.
And there are two modes.
One is to wear it against your own skin and hide it inside the protective life-support suit;
the other is to wrap it outside the protective life-support suit.
After thinking about it, Link decided to wear the "battle armor" outside to protect himself and at the same time protect the protective life-support suit.
What he valued was not the protective function, but the life-sustaining function.
Link's action is not out of the ordinary, there are many people who do this.
When it comes to matters of wealth and life, no matter how cautious you are, you should be cautious.
The natal witchcraft is also a type of armor. Like Link, he wears three layers of defense. From the inside to the outside, it is a defensive suit, a protective life-support suit, and a battle armor.
If the natal witchcraft is not a battle armor type, you can choose to wear an exoskeleton device outside the protective life-support suit.
This is the case with Lanie Taylor.
This exoskeleton device can provide considerable movement speed, strength blessing, and a very thin but extremely high defense membrane.
Everyone is ready.
The shuttle also landed on the surface of the Zerg planet at this time.
"Remember to adjust the gravity coefficient."
Shandola reminded her before opening the hatch and taking action.
This is an ancillary function of the protective life-support suit, which adjusts the gravity coefficient.
It allows wizards to adapt to the gravity of the Zerg planet, so that when they move, they feel the same as on their native land.
Avoid the toad-like walking posture of poking and hopping.
Jumping around is not cute at all, it’s very embarrassing.
The 12 people who had activated various invisibility effects first stepped out of the shuttle that had been in the invisible state and descended to the surface of the Zerg planet.
The shuttle does not shut down, remains invisible, stays in place, and is ready to take off at any time.
Once the micro army encounters an emergency and needs to retreat or transfer, it does not need to be immediately moved to the "Yunni" star battleship.
The micro-corps can choose to return here and board the shuttle.
Whether you turn in or retreat, you can advance and retreat freely.
"Search and proceed."
The shuttle door closed behind her, and Sandora directly fired a "spiritual link" to pull everyone into the psychic communication mode and give instructions.
I don’t know if Shandora has minored in the True Spirit Wizard, or has completely transferred from the Elemental Wizard faction to the True Spirit Wizard faction.
Judging from the proficiency in using witchcraft, he is not inferior to Asander at all.
All members of the miniature army immediately obeyed the order and launched a search formation.
Among the eight members responsible for reconnaissance and combat, one person stands out at the front to open the way;
then there are three people abreast, guarding on both sides, and reconnaissance in the middle;
then there are three people abreast, guarding on both sides, and reconnaissance in the middle; and
one person at the end drags behind, After breaking.
Two teams responsible for biochemical research were sandwiched between two groups of three people, enjoying protection.
Sandora is located in the middle of the first three-person row, responsible for both command and reconnaissance.
Her identity, status, and background were quickly thrown away by her after entering the task state.
At this moment, Sandora truly regarded herself as a member of the micro-legion, rather than the great-granddaughter of the two great sages.
She is strict with others and even more strict with herself.
After glancing at the watch and confirming the route, Shandora gave the instruction: "At 2 o'clock, go straight 100 meters and enter the pothole." The
team immediately marched in silence in the direction guided by Shandora.
The most detestable thing about the Zerg is that they only destroy, never build. No matter what it is, whether it is a plant or an animal, even if it is a mineral, the Zerg can eat it and will eat it.
After eating one planet to its knees, move on to the next planet.
After destroying one star system, move on to the next star system.
The Zerg eat so much, of course they produce something.
There are only three valuable things in their output, one is their feces, the other is the mucus they secrete, and the third is their slough.
Zerg excrement is a natural soil fertilizer, which can greatly nourish the land and promote plant growth.
From this point of view, it is impossible for the world where the Zerg live to be devoid of green plants like the planet in front of us.
However, the Zerg race is really good at reproducing and eating.
In the end, the soil became more and more fertile and the plants became rarer and became extinct.
Just like if goats are raised on pasture, they will eat up all the grass roots and destroy the pasture.
The Zerg slime is a natural high-strength defensive coating.
Their mother nests are coated with layers and layers of mucus, giving them extremely high defense capabilities.
The remains of the Zerg race are natural clean energy.
Back then, the super-civilized Zerg world, with its densely packed brood nests across all the worlds, relied on burning countless Zerg remains to conduct long-distance interstellar voyages.
As for interstellar combat, many groups of Zerg have the ability to navigate short distances and survive in space.
This planet is about to be eaten up by the Zerg.
The surface soil is thick, dense, black and shiny.
If you step on it, you will definitely create a deep pit.
The 12-member micro army did not march on the ground at all.
It has been suspended against gravity, moving forward on the moonwalk, leaving no trace.
Shandora has done a good job.
After entering the tunnel, the route is clear and the goal is clear, so the speed of travel is extremely fast.
In less than an hour, the miniature army arrived at its first destination, a small Zerg settlement that had undergone abnormal changes and was almost extinct.
"Reconnaissance, alert."
Sandora ordered, concisely.
Eight members of the academy's big family, including herself, immediately entered the Zerg settlement first and searched inside and outside to make sure there were no dangers or traps.
Then occupy various dangerous positions and do a good job of vigilance.
Create safe and favorable conditions for the two groups responsible for biochemical research.
"The research team is entering."
Sandora's voice sounded again.
Link and Tiffany looked at each other and each chose a direction to enter the Zerg settlement.
Each started research work, trying to overcome the three original goals of this mission:
investigating ecological structure, abnormal changes, and causes of mutations.
"First collect samples of soil, water, food residues, air, etc., back them up, and test them."
Walking to a relatively flat and open place, Link stopped and took out a series of miniaturized tests from the "small world" Testing the equipment, he said to Lanny, who was in charge of assisting.
Link chose to start with the ecological structure and start investigating.
"Understood."
Lanny is a perfect academic.
The overall score was the same as Link's!
Even though his special attainments in biochemical research and pharmacy are not as profound as Link's, he
is proficient in the basic skills of these research and experiments.
The two of them each designated an area and began to conduct various samplings.
As long as you feel it is necessary, no matter how bizarre or inconspicuous, you must keep at least 3 samples.
After taking samples on-site, testing and inspection must be carried out on-site.
Anyway, Shandora didn't say anything to stop, or something unexpected happened, so Link could just follow his own pace, not leisurely, but still proceeding in an orderly manner.
security?
Someone is responsible.
More than an hour passed before Link and Lanie finished the sampling work.
There are still some results that have not been released from the tests and inspections that were carried out at the same time as the sampling work.
Leave it alone.
"Collect some corpses and conduct an autopsy."
Link said after taking a few glances at the sample test results that had already been produced, without delving further.
"Yes."
Lanny readily agreed.
Afterwards, he and Link searched for relatively intact and fresh Zerg corpses in the pits of this small Zerg settlement for dissection.
Tiffany and Fried have their own research methods and their own research rhythm, but they have also reached the stage of needing corpses.
The two groups of people searched everywhere in this small Zerg settlement and met each other not long after.
"Have you discovered anything? Is it convenient for us to share it?"
Tiffany did not shy away from the substantial competitive relationship between her and Link and asked calmly.
It's like a normal academic exchange.
Link replied: "There are some. Are you going to exchange information with me?"
Tiffany nodded: "Indeed. Everyone is doing their own thing, and it doesn't hinder the exchange of information."
"Well..."
Link pondered for a while and said, "It can be inferred from the existing data that there is not a large amount of soil, water, and humus. There are signs of the existence of toxins. The large-scale death of the Zerg, at least the extinction of this settlement, does not seem to be caused by changes in the natural environment. Considering that in the mission background, there are related descriptions of the resurgence of the Zerg in this world, I think, There may be one or several currently unknown external sources that have exerted an influence on the Zerg."
After a pause, Link simply stated his guess:
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
This kind of external source is extremely effective. It may be to promote the evolution of the Zerg.
But it is not enough. The Zerg in this world have degenerated for nearly a thousand years. Most individuals are not able to withstand this stimulation, resulting in the phenomenon of failure to evolve and death. But it is not the Zerg
. In other words, as long as one Zerg individual survives and evolves in a colony, it is considered a success.
Their reproduction speed is really too fast."
"I agree with your inference."
After listening to Link's story, Tiffany first agreed, and then Giving their findings, "We have noticed that some Zerg corpses have traces of bites, and we also found some undigested mutilated limbs. From this we can make two possible inferences: Either, this external influence , causing certain changes in the intellectual level of the Zerg, and there is a tendency to kill each other; or, just like many animals in nature, when the female reproduces offspring, the male voluntarily sacrifices for the female to eat, some Zerg take the initiative for the evolution of the group. Gave up his life."
After a pause, giving time for digestion and understanding, Tiffany emphasized: "We are more inclined to the second judgment, and we are more wary of the establishment of the second judgment. This means that there is something unknown Things have made the Zerg voluntarily or forced to make this life-or-death decision."
Link was communicating with Tiffany in a remote corner.
The round-faced young man who was previously responsible for driving the shuttle walked up to Shandora, used the "spiritual link" to transmit the voice into the secret, and said: "They are doing it to show you, right?" "Indeed." Shandora confirmed
at
first He listened to the round-faced young man's words, and then asked, "So what?"
"No, it just feels a bit fake."
The round-faced young man curled his lips, not liking Link and Tiffany's style very much.
Sandora took a deep look at the round-faced young man and said meaningfully:
"I don't think it's fake, but I admire it very much. If you don't have a prominent background and are in the situation of Tiffany, or even Lanny and Link, how can you What can we do?"
After saying that, Shandora ignored the round-faced young man.
Instead, they carefully observed the two research groups who showed their own values or attitudes in their own way.
Some people are born with it, and some people never have it throughout their lives.
Don't mock those who have something but don't mock those who don't.
Don’t even ridicule the efforts of those who strive for success.
Effort is guiltless.
