The suspended debris overlapped with the expanding cracks. In space, this change was almost dead silent, bringing only a constant sense of oppression to the mecha pilots. The mecha pilots almost simultaneously distanced themselves from the cracks, and the voices of the mecha pilots in the communication channel also quieted down.

Hu Luobu was still in shock when he left You Su. He couldn't imagine that You Su hadn't held him back just now. The effect of that attack on him was almost direct. Even if his mecha was not damaged, he would inevitably be injured.

Captain Jifeng and Captain SLY controlled the spaceship away from the crack. Ying Chenlin's eyes did not leave the star map. There was indeed a problem with the spaceship's positioning system, but the distance measurement system was still usable. It takes time for the human eye to capture and judge the movement in the cosmic environment, but distance cannot deceive people.

On the virtual screen in front of him, except for the distance that Captain Gale was driving, the remaining distance to the crack was climbing at a slow speed, but it was very likely to continue as it was now. As the crack continued to expand, it was not ruled out that the movement speed of the crack might increase.

Ying Chenlin: “It seems to be continuing to grow.”

How will it move and in which direction? What are the consequences of moving?

This was the first information that came to the minds of all mecha pilots.

"What the hell does this mean? This thing can still evolve, so wouldn't it be the ultimate evolution if it continues to evolve?!" Ji Qingfeng couldn't help but ask, "Will it also evolve to Super S level?"

Lin Yao was confused: "Then should we still bomb it or not?!"

Zhao Lejie: ​​"Blow it up, what else can we do if we don't? What if this thing moves to the interior? Will we put the contaminated area directly in front of the Star Alliance's inhabitants? Then the Star Alliance's territory will shrink directly."

"Movement is the direction of its evolution, but this thing should still be the dominant one." Alice's voice appeared in the channel, "We bombed it once and proved that this thing can be solved, so we can only continue to bomb it."

The mecha technicians did not have time to communicate too much. After discovering that the cracks showed signs of movement, the cracks expanded even faster than they had originally perceived, and the surrounding pollutants were moved in their direction.

The mecha masters' explosions stopped, but the attacks of the S-class pollutants did not stop. Without the energy generated by the explosions, the S-class pollutants targeted the moving Gale spacecraft and mecha masters in space. More than a dozen pollutants moved towards them almost at the same time.

You Su fired a few shots to blow away the surrounding pollutants and retreated with the other gunners and mecha divisions. His eyes were fixed on the slowly moving crack. Most of the pollutants in the center of the crack had just been blown away by them, but as the crack expanded, the pollutants gathered again in the center of the crack. The crack, which was originally in the shape of a central point, was once again covered by pollutants.

"I'm afraid we can't retreat." You Su stopped retreating, "The crack is not clear anymore."

The retreating mecha soldiers saw the gathering and turned around to see the cracks covered with pollutants again. If the cracks were blocked by pollutants, how would their energy bombs explode! The retreating mecha divisions had to stop.

He used the weapon in his hand again to clear the center of the crack, "This is a vicious cycle!"

Qi Sicheng: "Not only that, if it continues to expand, the energy we expect to blast open the cracks will not be enough."

"Let's sort out the remaining energy bombs first." Colin said calmly: "We can't waste too much energy bombs now. The cracks are expanding very quickly. The amount of energy explosion we calculated at the beginning is not enough."

Qi Sicheng said: "Captain Huo and I will calculate the energy, you guys think of a way to hold on for a while."

"Wait a moment." Ying Chenlin was running quickly towards the storage point on the berth of the Gale spacecraft. All the energy bombs they made were piled there. As the cracks expanded, they had to re-coordinate the use of energy bombs. How many energy bombs should be used to deal with pollutants, and how much energy should be used to blow up the cracks. They had to calculate the amount of blasting and the increase in demand for blasting as the cracks expanded.

The largest storage carrier in the Leila contaminated area was right in front of him. This was almost the largest energy bomb that a single individual could carry, and it was also the energy bomb they originally intended to use to blow up the cracks.

When Ying Chenlin ran to the docking platform, he pulled down the tools hanging on the docking platform. He glanced at the storage bomb that stored the largest energy on the docking platform. He walked to the homemade energy bomb and started the calculation program.

But when the energy load automatically calculated by the spacecraft's own system appeared in front of him, he suddenly stopped.

You Su stopped when he heard Ying Chenlin's voice, "What's wrong?"

Ying Chenlin looked at the energy bomb in front of him and said, "The energy bombs of a single individual are not enough. The carrier we carry the energy is too small."

Not fried enough.

There was more and more information on the star network. When Li Jingyan set out for the fourth star field, people from the four major bases were still on the starship. They were carrying the main mecha that had just been repaired by the mecha division. Before boarding the starship, they only received the final stage of news, and learned that most people on the Dawn starship had been escorted to a safe location, but there was no news from the 12 Dawn mecha divisions participating in the support mission.

When Grandpa Gu got on the mecha, he was holding the main mecha of the KID base in his hand. When he received the news from Shen Xingtang, he had done his best to repair all the damage to the mecha. Now the most important thing is to deliver the mecha to the mecha masters.

"Can we get to the fourth star field?" Others at the Black Crow Base said, "Aren't the two major star fields blocked?"

"We can only go inside. We can't go outside." Li Jingyan has been looking at the optical computer. "The latest news is that the safety of the mecha masters has been confirmed. We can't go to the front line. We can only send the mecha key to the Shuguang mecha master first."

Safety comes first. Only when it is safe can we proceed.

Li Jingyan was someone who had directly experienced the black hole incident. He knew that the problems faced by the two star regions were almost ten times more serious than the black hole incident. Moreover, the leader this time was Kronos. "We have to get there as soon as possible. I hope those kids won't mess around."

When the news from the border was first transmitted to the Supreme Council of the Star Alliance, everyone's face changed. According to the energy situation in this diagram, a large amount of low-level pollutants from the border were gathered to promote the growth of the pollutant [Taylor] that tore through space.

The Star Alliance United Front Group, which received all the information, hurriedly spread it out -

"The mecha division team on the mission has been notified of the latest situation."

"At present, the Star Alliance has mobilized the assistance of the mecha divisions around the second and fourth star regions to try to expand the scope of recruitment."

"All crack locations must be reinforced. It is not ruled out that Taino's main target is inside the Star Alliance."

…

The representatives of researchers from various research institutes saw this and said with difficulty: "Tainuo itself is an advanced S-level pollutant. According to previous records, it has been trying to break through and evolve to a super S-level. This type of transmission type pollutant has a strong pressure bearing capacity. It requires energy to open so many cracks at the same time. If so much energy is concentrated on it, we cannot rule out that it will directly evolve into a super S-level pollutant."

Super S-level pollutants require huge energy reserves and an opportunity to evolve. Taino is an extremely dangerous S-level pollutant. Before Kronos evolved into a super S-level pollutant, its threat level was no less than that of Kronos. Now various data at the border show that the relationship between these two pollutants is very close, and it is very likely that they are acting in conjunction.

"When Slarede got out of control and rioted, it was very likely that Taino was involved." A researcher stepped forward and said, "We found out from a lot of data on Slarede that the ice mounds under Slarede were initially suspected to be pollutants accumulated during the riots. However, given the width of the ice mounds, it is possible that apart from the riots, it was more likely that Kronos and Taino were working together to create a grain storage area of ​​their own."

"Not only that, the roots of the parasitic flowers that originally spread all over Slarede were also accelerated by Kronos."

"Now its catalytic target has become Tylenol."

Super S-level pollutants with low IQ are not scary. Pollutants like [black holes] that have been solved before are all within the range that the Covenant can handle. However, super S-level pollutants with high IQ are top-level dangerous to the Covenant.

"But why is it so intelligent?" a leader asked, "The Star Alliance has never encountered a pollutant with such a high level of intelligence."

The information about Kronos is too vague, and they have only made breakthroughs in a lot of intelligence in recent years or this year.

Wei Changyang calmly looked at the rapid report sent back from the border. The large amount of pollutants and the rapid growth of Taino all overlapped with a certain conjecture made by the border troops and the research institute. He listened to the discussion of other researchers and finally said in a deep voice: "Because Kronos's IQ level is that of a normal adult."

When Wei Changyang spoke, the voices around him fell silent. Several researchers chose not to speak and waited for Wei Changyang's explanation.

"This data comes from a joint study by the Star Alliance Research Institute and the Dawn Research Institute."

Wei Changyang presented a document to everyone. "In previous investigations and research, after Slared, we have mastered the signs of Kronos' energy reaction. This is also the source of the technology that can quickly identify Kronos this time. In addition, in previous investigations, researchers found that Kronos' energy reactions almost overlap with those of many events registered by the Star Alliance in the past 50 years."

This part of the hypothesis originally lacked more core data to support it, but as the researchers have been investigating over this period of time, the more information they have obtained from Slaredelli, the more they can support the original hypothesis proposed by the researcher named Shi Qingning in the Dawn Research Group.

Kronos was recorded in history, and there were more signs of its activity than they thought.

Wei Changyang continued, "In the incident that researcher Shi Qingning gave evidence of, traces of Kronos were also found in the pollutant attack incident at the Fifth Star Region Border Research Institute 30 years ago. We found out through subsequent data that a research group at the institute conducted a pollutant gene fusion experiment, and the fused genes included human genes."

When this statement came out, the faces of the Star Alliance administrators turned cold. Are they crazy? Using human genes to experiment with pollutants! ?

"The instigator was the former director of the Third Research Institute of the Fifth Star Region. He was arrested and executed by the Star Alliance a few years ago for conducting illegal biological tissue experiments. We learned a more terrifying truth from the confessions of relevant personnel who are now serving time in prison." Wei Changyang's expression was grim. "Among the experimental pollutants captured at the border that year, there was an individual who looked like Kronos, which is consistent with the energy information we investigated."

Among the pollutant test subjects captured at the border 30 years ago, Chronos was one of them. Later, the border was attacked by pollutants and the research institute was completely destroyed. It is not ruled out that Chronos’ current genome contains human evolutionary genes.

If he possessed human evolutionary genes, and nearly 30 years had passed, Kronos's IQ growth might be even more terrifying than anyone predicted.

What they may be facing is not just a pollutant, but a pollutant with possibly human intelligence.

"So, everyone." Wei Changyang had to admit a fact, "We must stop Taino's evolution. Once it succeeds in evolving, we will most likely be facing two highly intelligent S-level pollutants with super destructive power."
