Chapter 507 Troublesome Species - Response

As the elevator began to rise along the track, Wang Yi couldn't help but frown slightly after listening to Enzo's words.

Although he hasn’t gone up yet, as the Lord of the Abyss, Enzo’s ability to invade the material world is already one of his abilities. It is enough to rely on the breath of the abyss to make a preliminary judgment.

 In fact, even if he went up, he didn't get much closer. He could still only make a preliminary judgment. If he wanted to make an accurate judgment, he still had to send him there.

However, Wang Yi does not need any precise judgment, nor does he need evidence to solve the case. It is enough for Enzo to draw this conclusion based on his information and experience.

 In fact, Enzo's own knowledge reserve can only be said to be average. It all depends on his longevity. Wang Yi already knows a lot of the information obtained from him.

Even the ‘Zerg’ this time is also one of the materials Wang Yi saw when he was in another world!

If Enzo’s description is correct, although this ‘Abyss Zerg’ has the name of the Abyss, it is not a creature born to live in the Abyss. It is a non-Abyss species that actively ingests the breath of the Abyss.

The abyssal Zerg invaded other worlds and brought about world-destroying natural disasters, and were eventually expelled by the gods. This was the previous era recorded in the scriptures of the temple.

Although the information itself cannot be verified, some characteristics and records of the Abyss Zerg have been passed down to avoid encountering them again in the future.

Even though the whereabouts and some deeds of the gods have been obscured, there are still records of the Abyss Zerg. This shows that this is probably an oracle issued by the gods themselves, and it also shows how difficult this thing is.

But of course, it is not as exaggerated as the Zerg in some film and television game works...

  Quickly rummaging through his memories, Wang Yi also dug out this dusty memory that he thought he would not need.

Abyss Zerg, an extremely terrifying creature, will even take the initiative to borrow the power of the abyss, but because of their own characteristics, they are not affected by the abyss.

 According to the records of Shenting, most of these creatures seem to have no ‘wisdom’.

Even their combat commanders are temporarily hatched ‘brain worms’.

Because Wang Yi himself has traced back to the origin of life, he clearly knows that the evolution of life does not necessarily have to become more and more advanced, nor does it necessarily require the birth of wisdom!

Locusts and cockroaches are species that have evolved quite successfully.

 Even in theory, the simpler the species structure, the faster it reproduces, and the easier it is to deal with various complex annihilation disasters.

The Abyss Zerg seems to be such a species, all responsibilities are clearly defined, and they develop naturally without being stimulated.

Even before being stimulated, the Abyss Zerg will not give birth to a central command like a 'cerebrate', but will continue to reproduce naturally. When the scale reaches a certain level, it will launch 'egg sheaths' into the starry sky again.

 Essentially, although the abyssal bugs look scary, they are actually 'harmless'.

Because as long as they do not show hostile stimulation that exceeds the threshold, they will develop on their own step by step. Even if other civilizations already occupy resources, they will not seize them at will.

But because of this, when the Abyss Zerg communicates with the Abyss and uses the power of space, it is often used and polluted by some creatures in the Abyss.

 Become the vanguard of the attack and try every means to activate the ‘war’ stress response.

The characteristics of this thing are here. Once it enters the "war" posture, it will turn into the best war machine.

 And what has been passed down in the temple to this day also contains an extremely important means of coping.

'The Abyss Zerg itself is not very harmful. If there are no Abyss monsters stimulating it behind the scenes, they can be allowed to develop. As long as their living space is not overly squeezed, they can coexist peacefully. At the same time, there are some resource bugs in the Zerg that can secrete There are many kinds of secretions rich in magic factors. As long as you bring enough sugar to exchange with them, you can collect them peacefully. Don't give them too much sugar less than they need. They will accept the loss before they activate the brain worms. Exchange, tolerance is not low...'

In other words, this kind of thing can even become a beneficial resource as long as it is not overly stimulating.

 However, there are some important points that are clearly emphasized in the description.

'Once the Abyss Zerg activates the war mode, don't take any chances. It must be wiped out with thunder in the early stage. Many species want to enslave the Zerg, but in the end they become part of the Zerg. This is the ability to plunder other species. A terrifying race with excellent genes. Civilizations that once gave birth to gods were destroyed at their hands. ’

 At the beginning, Wang Yi was read as some unofficial history to enrich his own material library.

Who would have thought that I had never seen the Zerg in another world, but when I was on Earth, I encountered the ‘egg sheath’ of the Abyss Zerg!

And it is also the most troublesome example of being exploited by abyssal creatures.

Now that we are suddenly plunged into Mars, I am afraid that the 'war' stress response has been triggered.

  Most likely it was made by abyssal creatures sealed together in the egg sheath.

 “How much do you know about the Abyssal Zerg?”

 Wang Yi asked Enzo.

"A perfect ethnic group, loved by many lords, but there are also many lords who have been eaten by the Zerg. Whether it is an abyss lord or a powerful mage, they have all thought of enslaving the Zerg and using the Zerg to do things, but according to some current rumors Most of them ended badly..."

Wang Yi didn’t feel too surprised when he heard Enzo’s words.

From a few words in the temple records, it can be seen that this species almost has "use me" written on its face.

  During non-war periods, the entire clan will almost never give birth to brainworms with intelligence. They can also secrete secretions rich in magic factors, and are willing to accept all kinds of disadvantages. As long as they don't go overboard, they will remain honest.

When such an 'obedient' and 'well-behaved' race is placed here, it is almost natural for ambitious people to want to strengthen and utilize it.

Not to mention anything else, Wang Yi, as a mage, wanted to conduct in-depth research to see if he could catalyze the creation of completely enslaved mother worms and brain worms.

 As a necromancer, is it normal to have such thoughts?

The lords of the abyss must also like to use this kind of thing as a vanguard, firing it directly along the egg sheath to activate it, and then capturing the position themselves to complete the 'opening the door'.

  After all, for many abyss lords, what they want is destruction, what they want is destruction, and what they want is to have wronged souls everywhere.

 As for the resources needed by the Zerg, it doesn’t matter.

 To destroy a civilization, just launch another egg sheath, and just follow it and keep opening the door!

 However, the gods worshiped in the alien temples warned the Zerg that they had destroyed and devoured civilizations with gods.

Enzo also said that there were abyss lords who got away with it and were attacked by the Zerg.

 Plus absorbing excellent genes from other races…

 In a sense, this race is indeed ‘perfect’!

 Perfect adaptability, usually does not even require "wisdom". Without "wisdom" there will be no internal contradictions, the division of labor is clear, and the entire group is a whole.

 Develop step by step directly based on the knowledge engraved in genes.

 When "wisdom" is needed, brainworms are temporarily born, and they immediately gather the information recorded in the genes of the entire race.

 Not a god, but comparable to a god!

“It seems that I will have to go there in person if necessary…”

 There was a look of interest in Wang Yi's eyes.

Although they brought nuclear bombs with them this time, it may be difficult to achieve the goal of annihilation for this ethnic group with full survival talent points.

Relying on the nutrients and resources contained in the initial egg sheaths, they will most likely dig underground first when they land, and the lethality of nuclear bombs to the underground is actually quite limited...

 Chapter 719

 “Wow! Is this the earth? It’s so beautiful…”

Qian Yayan, who had begun to float without weight, looked at the earth below, which was beginning to reveal its full appearance, and there seemed to be light flashing in her eyes, while Liu Xiaoke held on to the railing and said with some amazement

“It’s probably not even one-tenth of the way…”

At this time, the location is probably near the low-Earth orbit, which is still far away from the synchronous orbit, and the elevator is still moving upward at a high speed.

 Many people in the cargo hold were amazed and started taking photos.

Wang Yi looked at the planet below and smiled.

“It is indeed still far away, and here, we are actually also receiving the protection of our home planet.”

Wang Yi's words made Qian Yayan, who was sticking to the glass and looking below, float over and asked curiously.

"Has it left the atmosphere? Are you still protecting us now?"

"Yes, it is our home planet after all. The magic side can be called Gaia or the will of the planet. According to our normal physical rules, it is the earth's magnetic field. It protects us from being directly blown by the solar wind and prevents the atmosphere from being blown away. …”

Wang Yi felt the changes in the magnetic field around him, and his tone was very gentle.

To a certain extent, Gaia and itself both prosper and suffer losses. The Hall of Valor relies on Gaia, and all of its dependents also survive on the earth, so their interests are in the same direction.

However, Gaia is just a concept that operates on its own rules and has no consciousness of its own. Perhaps, the group of hydrogen-based electronic beings on Saturn may have completed the linkage with their Gaia.

Amid the changes in the magnetic field, the orbit continues to rise, and the originally lazy magic power becomes increasingly thinner.

But there are also fewer other distractions, and Enzo has completely determined the identity of the visitor from that direction.

“It is indeed the Abyss Zerg, and it was used as a **** by a certain Abyss Lord.”

 Enzo was very hostile to those bugs at this time. As the lord of the abyss, he felt that the other party had extended its hand into his territory.

However, because the other party can control the abyss zerg, Enzo also generally judged that the abyss lord's strength and power should be much stronger than himself.

"If it were me, I wouldn't dare to take advantage of it like this, but there are a lot of lunatics in the abyss, and there are many who force themselves onto the car if they don't have enough ability, but most of them don't end well. There have been backlashes in our area."

Although Enzo has schizophrenia and his brain doesn't work very well, he can be called a "smart man" in the abyss. At least he knows that he can't control the insects.

Wang Yi looked at Mars in the distance across the void. At this time, Starship II and Starship I were already on the way. Sanchang's launchers were about to be launched soon, both of which were large killer weapons carrying thermonuclear bombs.

If the problem can be solved directly, then Wang Yi will not keep it for research. He has a lot of time. If he wants to study bugs, he can take his time. In the future, he can catch it sooner or later by using the abyss as a springboard and put it in his lair. There is also a bit of diaphragm next to me.

But unfortunately, at such a long distance, we are still facing a group of ground penetration experts. Even if we carry nuclear bombs, the possibility of directly solving the problem is very low.

  There is a high probability of a severe wave of damage, consuming the initial resources carried in their egg sheaths and slowing down their development...

Wang Yi also sighed softly.

 Mars and the Earth are not in synchronous orbit. When they are closest, they are 55 million kilometers away, and when they are far away, they are 400 million kilometers away. The difference is almost ten times.

 The best window period is once every twenty-six months on average. This time it is actually missed. It’s just that the distance is not too far away, but it is in the stage of getting further away.

 It’s really a bit troublesome…

If I had known earlier, it would not have been impossible to just take the Xingxue I there and take a look.

 For now, let’s wait for now.

 It was just an egg sheath. Although it was attacked by monsters from the abyss, it was not completely uncontrollable.

 At least in terms of time, Wang Yi feels that his growth rate should be faster...

 …

“It is currently certain that the asteroid has moved towards Mars and will definitely fall into Mars.”

A NASA spokesperson also pointed out this matter on a program.

 At this time, all the detectors have been launched. Because the launch in space can carry enough fuel, the speed is much faster than before, and it is expected to arrive in half a month.

“So, Professor, are you sure this is an alien civilization’s aircraft? Is it related to the abyss?”

 The host took the opportunity to ask the NASA spokesperson.

"It is certain that it is an aircraft of an alien civilization, but I am not sure about its relationship with the Abyss, because last time the Abyss came to New York directly through space technology, the gap is still quite large. I think Umbrella may There will be some judgment, and they are more professional in this regard. This time we are just following Umbrella to check for doubts and make up for the omissions."

The NASA spokesperson was very humble.

 All other aircraft combined are not as big as Umbrella's 'spaceship'!

 And other aircraft still mainly carry fuel, although by igniting the fuel to continuously reduce the mass increase rate, their detectors can be faster than the Xingxing I.

 But at this time, being faster is just to help test it out first.

  I can really only cheer and cheer from the side.

The main force still has to rely on Umbrella...

“But this time all the aircraft are carrying nuclear bombs, right? Or are they high-yield hydrogen bombs?”

The host continues to ask.

“Yes, the SX company’s starship carries four 1-million-ton nuclear bombs, the explorer launched by NASA carries five, and the others are similar, but we don’t know how many Umbrella carries.”

 Umbrella nuclear technology can be used in mechas, so there is no doubt about the nuclear bomb capability.

 But then the spokesman paused and continued

"However, in space, the power of nuclear bombs is still very small. If it was an asteroid landing before, it would have to be drilled into it. But now that the other party has entered Mars, it is a bit troublesome. First, we must determine what it is. Is there a threat?"

 “What happened to Mars?”

“Our aircraft does not have the function of landing on Mars, so if it is determined that a hostile attack is launched, we can only use orbital bombing in the orbit of Mars. It is difficult for us to accurately locate the target...

“However, we have now activated all eight artificial satellites in Mars orbit at the expense of their service life, and have been maintaining close monitoring. We should be able to determine the crash site as soon as possible.”

After the interview with this NASA expert, the current information about the unknown alien visitors has become known to the general public.

At this time, Umbrella also published some relevant information that he knew

“Currently, based on some intelligence we have discovered, it can be determined that the other party is in a hostile relationship. The most likely reason for landing on Mars now is to find a forward base for development.”

 Umbrella's statement can be said to have caused a lot of surprises.

  Confirmed as hostile!

Although I don’t know how it was confirmed, Umbrella’s credibility is obvious to all, and it is never without aim.

 And their descriptions also make people feel quite heavy.

 Forward base?

  Isn’t it as simple as that asteroid that came without a surface? Is it a base vehicle? Can artificial intelligence mine like Umbrella and then create an army of machines?

 If this is the case, it is really troublesome!

 Because the enemy is on Mars, the distance is too far. Even if there are many armed forces on the earth, it is very difficult to destroy the opponent at such a distance at the first time...

 Chapter 720 Response

‘Mars Express’ is a Mars exploration launched by the European Space Agency in 2003. Although it carried the rover Beagle 2 for landing on Mars, it failed because it failed to deploy its solar panels.

 But the satellite "Mars Express" itself is still circling Mars and collecting some atmospheric data.

While the eight Mars satellites belonging to various countries are actively collecting various data and feeding back, Mars Express captured a set of continuous pictures of the asteroid falling and completed the transmission.

At the same time, the European Space Agency also chose to make it public as soon as possible.

 In this exploration plan, the declining European Space Agency did not launch a probe. At this time, being able to use satellites in Mars orbit to play a role can be regarded as a sense of participation.

In the photo released by the European Space Agency, a long object is breaking through the thin atmosphere of Mars and hitting downwards.

 Because of the thin atmosphere of Mars, there is no fire on the surface, so the entire long object can be seen.

 Through the enlargement of the photo and the addition of artificial intelligence, a weird image is finally formed.

You can see rows of 'egg'-like things jumping around on the surface of the 'asteroid', and there are things like 'bloodshot' on the surface.

 It looks like something alive at first glance!

And as the photo moves and switches, you can see that a new egg is pushed out from the inside...

"what is this?"

 “Holy shit! Egg?”

 “Is it the egg of an abyss monster?”

 “Is this a biological invasion?”

 “It’s so disgusting…”

　　　…”

With the emergence of various voices, Umbrella convened an online meeting with the heads of major aerospace agencies.

“Everyone, we have some clues about what’s going on this time.”

Li Yao leaned on the table with his fingers crossed and his tone was calm.

Now that Umbrella has made a lot of information known, it doesn't matter if it shows that it knows.

　　Then some concept drawings of the Zerg were released directly on the screen.

“This is a species called the Abyss Zerg, which is very troublesome and tricky. They can develop and expand themselves through the resources of Mars when they land on Mars. Once they develop, they may be even more troublesome than the last Abyss invasion..."

 As the information about the Abyss Zerg was revealed, all parties looked very solemn.

 In fact, Umbrella’s ‘reputation’ is so good now.

Although she is aloof and has problems of one kind or another, Umbrella never brags or lies.

At least until Umbrella tells another big lie, their trustworthiness is extremely high, which is different from the previous beauty.

 So at this critical moment, all parties did not raise many questions or anything, but thought of working together to solve the problem.

Perhaps a dissatisfied person like Da Meili will have some other ideas, but at least on the surface, they must be united.

"The total yield of the nuclear bombs we carried this time is 20 million tons. You should have brought a lot of them, too. Is there any chance of wiping them out by direct orbital bombing?"

“Or, after they have brainworms and become intelligent, can we try to connect and communicate?”

“Mars is too far away, even if we want to attack, we can’t reach it.”

“It would be equally troublesome for them to come over, right?”

　　　…”

There were various suggestions and discussions, but Li Yao still shook his head and said

“It’s best not to take any chances. If it can’t be solved in one go, then you need to be prepared for a long-term confrontation. The Zerg itself is actually very harmful, but with the abyss monsters to guide it, it is a very troublesome war machine...”

 With the power of Umbrella today, and with more detailed information, a consensus on orbital bombing has finally been reached.

 Since the Zerg have activated the ‘war’ option, they can’t hold anything back and send big things at the beginning!

Even if they cannot be wiped out in one go, their initial resources must be consumed first to slow down their development.

Originally, Umbrella specially held this meeting, and it was rare that there was no live broadcast or announcement. It was just to make a quick decision at a critical moment to take a breather.

 I don’t want to trigger a global discussion to avoid some constraints and surprises.

However, although Umbrella has reached the top, there are not many areas under its direct jurisdiction. Even if it is controlled by TT itself, there are many people who are not "leading the rhythm" but really have strange ideas!

 That is a group that many people in the West have a headache for, the Holy Mother of the White Left.

 The original secret meeting immediately caused an uproar after part of its contents were leaked.

 “If the hostility of alien visitors cannot be determined, then hostile actions should not be taken!”

“Since we are sure it is not an abyssal creature, we can talk about it first.”

“Don’t be so cruel. What does it mean to drop a nuclear bomb at the beginning?”

“Since it wasn’t those monsters that invaded New York last time, we should try to communicate.”

 “Only through communication can we maintain peace, and only through cooperation can we achieve win-win results.”

　　　…”

 …

Wang Yizheng, Qian Yayan and Liu Xiaoke dined at a Michelin three-star restaurant in Penglai. After seeing the news, they couldn't help but feel amusement. These guys are really interesting.

 The reason why the contents of the internal meeting were exposed was because of the work of the old Morgan group.

 They also asked Enzo for instructions and asked for some news about the Abyss Zerg.

 This time, apart from being purely disgusting, they actually actually have the idea of ​​​​contacting with the Zerg!

Enzo did not hide anything and told them some of the characteristics of the Zerg. In the face of this species, it is definitely a quite 'normal' idea for ambitious people to want to take control of it for themselves.

 This is the case for many civilizations destroyed by the Zerg.

 If it were before, they might still hesitate because they already had everything under control at that time.

　Just pick any one of these asset management companies such as Vanguard, Blackrock, State Street, and Fidelity, and they are all rich in the true sense.

They hold shares in everything from fruits to Microsoft and Coca-Cola.

 So what they wanted more at that time was to consolidate their position.

 But now that the throne of supremacy has been robbed by Umbrella, the method they choose can be more radical and less burdensome.

While Wang Yi was cutting the big snail, he also casually gave instructions to Lin Shiqin.

“If the first bombing fails, give them a chance to make contact and see if they can fish out the abyss lord behind them.”

Since Mars is so far away, it is really impossible to destroy the bugs brought by the egg sheaths with the nuclear bombs alone. Wang Yi's expectation is to destroy their initial resources.

Since he knows what his opponent is and that the threat is generally controllable for the time being, Wang Yi can afford to try this test...

Although most of the abyss lords have mental problems, some of them have very accurate intuitions, so arranging for contact with a few real young men is actually the best fishing bait.

 After wiping his mouth, Wang Yi also gave his own rating for this Michelin restaurant.

 Can be eaten~

  In any case, for Penglai, the easiest shops to set up shop are various top-notch food stores, which are much more numerous than those luxury stores.

 I just want to eat something delicious, nothing too much...

　　——

Update completed~

In the initial setting, the technological power of the earth is very strong. The explosion of knowledge accumulated by specializing in technology in a magic-free environment makes sense. Nuclear bombs will be ceiling-level for a period of time. After all, there is no upper limit to the theoretical yield...

 Hence, the main confrontations are still collisions between different civilizations rather than technological collisions.
