Chapter 476 You call this a sedative?
At the same time.
Inside the incubation tower.
Boom! !
Accompanied by strong vibrations coming from the heavy rock layer under the base, the originally dim light stone flickered again.
Not only that, as the entire incubation tower swayed, a large number of dried insect eggs continued to fall off the pillars, like tiny fallen leaves, floating and colliding in the anti-gravity field that had not yet stopped running.
Among them, the almost formed scorpion corpses were also exposed in these collisions, and the entire incubation tower was filled with a strong sense of weirdness.
Base area.
The flickering light of the light stone clearly reflected the outlines of the fully automatic light stone collection equipment.
As if receiving some orders, the automatic mechanical equipment that was originally busy collecting and transporting light stones stopped their work and hurriedly sent the cut light stones to the investigator starship and drones docked not far away.
A few seconds later.
With waves of increasingly intense vibrations, the drones parked in the base area took off first. Under the remote control of the research ship's main brain, they flew quickly outside the hatching tower.
On the huge base, there were almost only those difficult-to-carry automatic mining equipment and the investigator starship that had been in a silent state.
A moment later, accompanied by a strong flash of light from the porthole of the starship, a wave of time and space ripples from the inside of the investigator starship.
Then.
In the flickering of the light stone, the khaki starship rose from the ground, accurately avoiding the large insect eggs and column fragments floating in the air, and rushed towards the small starry sky at the top of the hatching tower.
...
There are still 24 hours before the first batch of starry sky giant scorpions arrive at the place of creation.
"Oh my god..."
Chen Fan quickly glanced at the holographic countdown above the main console, and once again cast his shocked eyes on the Xinaluo mother planet in front of him.
No, it shouldn't be called the Xinaluo mother planet now.
It should be the mother insect of the starry sky giant scorpion.
As the queen worm awakened from her slumber, her true form gradually exposed itself to Chen Fan and the others.
The images in the video data have their limitations after all.
Even the holographic images of the Human Union, which are close to 100% realistic, will give people a sense of virtuality, especially when depicting those super-large objects, the performance of the video data will be even more tired.
No matter what shooting method is used for contrast, it cannot compare to its simple and crude appearance in front of people.
This is the scene in Chen Fan's eyes.
At this moment, the investigator starship has just left the hatching tower. Outside the porthole, the hatching tower that can't be seen at a glance is trembling slightly, and the planetary crust at the bottom of the tower, which is composed of a large number of rock layers, seems to be squeezed by some unknown force. Cracks of varying sizes appear densely on the originally flat crust and extend rapidly towards the poles of the planet.
Compared with the data recorded in the log, the queen worm's body shape is obviously "rounder" by several circles-the size of the hatching organ has increased by nearly one-fold. It is not difficult to imagine that the body hidden in the planetary crust must have grown a lot.
Combining the high-dimensional perspective and the detection results of the investigator starship, it seems that the remaining half of the Xinaluo mother planet has long become a thin empty shell, and the light stone minerals and other metal ores inside it have long been devoured by the mother insect.
In space, sound cannot be transmitted.
But even so, looking at the picture in front of him, Chen Fan still felt a rumbling sound echoing in his ears, and... the mother insect under the crust was disturbed and woke up from its sleep!
Of course.
The so-called disturbance and hissing are just the imagined pictures in Chen Fan's mind.
The real situation is...
this mother insect is far from being fully awake.
The many previous movements were just subconscious twitches of its body.
"Based on the current situation, it should only be a matter of time before the queen wakes up completely."
Chen Fan took a deep breath and calmed down his inner shock: "This thing is too dangerous."
"There are less than 24 hours before the first batch of giant scorpions arrive at the Creation Land. We have to find a way to calm it down as soon as possible."
"Calm down?"
Isa carefully glanced at the increasingly unstable Xinaluo mother planet outside the porthole, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "Are you going to use sedatives to put the queen back into sleep?"
"Sedatives?"
Chen Fan was stunned and his face became strange.
He hesitated for a moment and nodded with great certainty: "Well... I guess so."
...
A few minutes later.
"Second brother, this planet is ready!"
The excited voice of [Gaia] came from the communication channel: "Just say it, second brother, who are we going to kill this time?"
Outside the porthole, a yellowish-brown planetary fortress appeared in front of Xinaluo's mother planet without any warning.
Under Chen Fan's gaze, the tightly-fitting armor in the equatorial area slowly unfolded, and a huge black cannon gradually revealed its true appearance.
The cannon was very large, and its caliber even exceeded 100 kilometers.
Under the reflection of the red starlight, the surface of the cannon flashed a faint scarlet light.
Looking at the scene in front of them, Hongshi, Isa, and Gao Yuan fell into silence at the same time: "..."
The three of them turned their heads stiffly and cast incredulous looks at Chen Fan who was sitting in the driver's seat.
"?"
Redstone looked at the giant cannon deployed by [Gaia] with a look of doubt on his face, and then looked at the mother planet of Xinalo with cracked ground: "...The main gun of the Destroyer III fortress, you call this thing a sedative?"
Facing the gaze of his colleagues, Chen Fan coughed lightly: "Don't care about these details, just tell me whether this thing works or not."
"Physical sedation is also sedation, isn't it?"
As he said, his expression became serious, and he issued an order to [Gaia] in a deep voice: "Gaia, prepare to fire."
"Target...the planet in front of you.
" "Bomb it with the maximum output power!"
"...Planet? That's it?" Hearing Chen Fan's words, Gaia's originally excited voice instantly became listless, "After all this fuss, you called me just to hit a planet?"
"I thought..."
Chen Fan looked normal, and interrupted Gaia's complaints slowly: "There is a giant scorpion queen in here that is bigger than you."
"If you keep on dithering, you will be the one to deal with it when it wakes up completely."
The humming sound in the communication link suddenly paused.
"I understand."
Gaia's synthesized voice also became serious: "Second brother, to be honest, I have been unhappy with this planet for a long time."
...
Buzz!!
Under Gaia's control, a huge amount of energy instantly gushed out from the vacuum zero-point energy reactor of Gaia Planetary Fortress, and poured into the giant cannon along the energy path.
A dark light of extreme intensity suddenly lit up in the deep barrel.
The next second.
Boom!!!
The dark light beam drilled out from the terrifying muzzle and shot straight towards the Xinaluo mother planet in front!
Perhaps sensing the danger, the giant scorpion queen, which was only trembling slightly, suddenly struggled, and it swung its abdominal feet vigorously, trying to pull its body out of this almost hollowed-out planet.
Under the fierce action of the queen, the surface of Xinaluo's mother planet seemed to have encountered a shocking earthquake. The originally hard rock layer was like a turbulent sea surface, and it turned into countless debris of different sizes in a violent ups and downs.
At the moment when the black light column was about to hit the mother planet, the already fragile planetary crust suddenly collapsed, and a small part of the giant scorpion queen body was exposed.
Of course, most of its body was still buried in the thick rock layer.
Waves of strong swelling and tingling sensations continued to come from the incubation organ behind it, continuously stimulating its brain that had not yet fully awakened.
It seemed that... something blocked the energy transmission channel in the incubation organ.
The four scarlet eyes, which were as big as a city, carried a bit of confusion from just waking up from sleep, as well as pain and anger from the destruction of the incubation organ, but the next second, these confusion, pain and anger quickly turned into panic!
——It saw the oncoming dark matter cannon.
Roar!!!
In a flash, it suddenly opened its ferocious mouthparts. With the support of the unique movable joints on both sides of its mouthparts, the opening range of its mouthparts even reached twice that of a regular giant scorpion!
Almost at the same time, a dark purple barrier suddenly appeared in front of it, barely blocking the violent jet of activated dark matter.
Facing Gaia's charged attack, this dark purple barrier did not last too long.
However, after holding on for a second, the barrier suddenly collapsed after emitting a bright dark purple light. At the same time, some explosions lit up on the surface of the queen's body - just a face-to-face, the opponent's force field shield organ was overloaded.
But even so, this barrier still bought the queen a perfect time to counterattack.
Buzz...buzz...buzz...
black light rose from the base of the hatching tower, passing through the fragmented rock formations, rising step by step, and finally all poured into the queen's throat.
After an extremely short wait, an equally large jet of activated dark matter blasted out from the mother worm's mouthparts, rushing towards the dark matter cannon fired by Gaia!
The momentum was magnificent.
But the ending was not pretty.
It was also just a face-to-face encounter, and the seemingly large-scale activated dark matter jet quickly flowed back under the impact of the dark matter cannon, and poured straight into the mother worm's mouthparts.
As the black light penetrated deeper and deeper, the mother worm's frantic struggle instantly came to a standstill.
When the black light reached the hatching organ area, a dazzling white light shot up into the sky.
That was the light of a large number of light stones exploding at the same time! !
In Chen Fan's perspective, a powerful information jet, carrying the black light of the dark matter cannon, shot out from the tail of the hatching organ and spread towards the endless starry sky in the distance. Boom!
! !
The activated dark matter began to decay, and the brilliant explosion flames instantly spread in the red starry sky, and with lightning speed, it completely devoured the broken Xinaluo mother planet, which was left with only a few rock fragments.
Inside the investigator's starship.
A communication interface was unfolding, showing Ophelia's dazed look.
"Uh..."
Chen Fan laughed awkwardly: "As you can see, your home planet..."
"It should be completely gone."
