Chapter 474 Queen!
Year 171 of the Violet calendar.
The signal sent back by the expeditionary fleet lasted less than ten minutes before it was completely interrupted.
I know that this is probably the last time the expeditionary fleet will send back a signal.
Even if the expeditionary fleet is in its most prosperous state, it cannot deal with such a large swarm of insects.
The picture sent back by the flagship made everyone panic, including me.
The scale of the swarm is too large, and there is also a giant insect that is close to the size of a planet...
Is this creature really evolved normally?
If such a swarm of insects appears in the area of the Xinaluo mother star...
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little chill in my heart.
On the other hand, the Royal Research Institute conducted a more detailed study on the reason why the fleet exposed its coordinates, and also made a second guess.
Those insects can not only sense the information broadcast by the light stone, but also sense the space-time fluctuations caused by curvature navigation.
In the past seventy years, the expeditionary fleet was forced to use conventional drive methods due to warship failures. Because of this, the fleet that remained silent has not been discovered by those insects.
But now...
the expedition fleet that has completed the repair work has entered the curvature state again in order to return to the mother planet as soon as possible, and has once again exposed itself to the sight of the swarm.
This conjecture is very reasonable.
It is no secret that curvature navigation does produce considerable space-time fluctuations. Almost every Xinaluo person knows this common sense, but we have never considered this common phenomenon in war, nor did we expect these bugs to trace the true coordinates of the warship from the space-time fluctuations.
Since leaving the mother planet, the Xinaluo civilization has hardly experienced any level of war, nor has it dealt with any alien civilization.
As the queen, I must admit an unacceptable reality-although I have not been directly affected by the light medicine, I am still subtly affected by the atmosphere within the civilization.
The Xinaluo civilization is too optimistic about alien life.
In addition to regret, I am more panicked.
The reason is very simple.
Curvature navigation has become the navigation means that the Xinaluo civilization relies on. Today, there are space-time fluctuations caused by the curvature navigation of starships everywhere in the galaxy.
If the other party can really feel this fluctuation...
then the other party will find the Xinaluo civilization sooner or later! !
In order not to cause panic within the civilization, I not only destroyed all technologies related to the Light Stone, but also almost all the data related to the expedition fleet and the Zerg.
Preparations for war are still ongoing, and now the number of fleets of the Xinaluo civilization has reached a new height.
...
Time flies, and a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Violet calendar 280 years.
Thanks to the occasional announcement of the expedition fleet's detection results, the Zerg has not appeared in the past hundred years, and the development of the Xinaluo civilization has been relatively stable.
Compared with the past, the number of fleets has also increased more than ten times without knowing it.
Tachyon communication technology has achieved unprecedented growth. In theory, the latest wide-area tachyon broadcasting technology is enough to broadcast to the entire universe.
But with the Zerg as a precedent, I am not going to launch such a large-scale tachyon broadcast, even if those Zerg have little reaction to the tachyon broadcast we send.
As for the Light Stone communication technology...
since I completely blocked it and the Zerg's data, as time passed, the number of people in the palace and the institute who knew about these two things began to gradually decrease.
In short, everything is moving in a good direction.
The only regret is that...
the Star God seems to be still in a deep sleep, and until now, he has not responded to the many prayers of the Xinaluo civilization.
Violet calendar year 285.
After a hundred years, the worrying thing still happened.
A mining fleet lost contact at the edge of the river system. When the support warships arrived at the mine, the mining fleet had completely disappeared.
There was no starship wreckage left at the scene.
To be precise, not only the starship wreckage, but even most of the large mining equipment in the mines disappeared.
The only remaining mining equipment was transported back to the Royal Research Institute.
The test report showed that there were a large number of irregular gaps on the broken mining equipment. The shape of the gap was very strange, and it looked like the bite incision of some creature.
At first glance, this report was very unreliable, but I knew what it meant-
the swarm, here it comes.
After fifty years, they finally came to the river system where Xinaluo's mother star was located.
This deliberate attack was characterized as an accident, and naturally did not attract the attention of the Xinaluo people.
In the same year, the newly formed expedition fleet set out again. Its mission was no longer to search for alien creatures, but to set up defenses and hunt insect swarms at the edge of the galaxy! In
the 286th year of the Violet calendar, the insect swarm launched a second offensive at the edge of the galaxy.
Like last year, the mineral mining fleet and interstellar mines were still attacked this time.
Although the expedition fleet continued to patrol the edge of the galaxy, these flexible insects were still able to evacuate quickly before the fleet arrived.
Damn it! !
In the 290th year of the Violet calendar.
The insect swarm attacks have shown a trend of multi-point spread, and a large number of interstellar mines have been attacked. Some people in the Xinaluo civilization have also noticed this abnormal situation, and even sporadic rumors have appeared.
Fortunately, these rumors were quickly blocked and did not cause chaos within the civilization.
In the same year, I increased the number of expeditionary fleets again.
In the 293rd year of the Violet calendar,
the Star God finally woke up from his century-long slumber.
This is undoubtedly a blessing for the Xinaluo civilization.
According to the rules of the royal family, as the queen, I need to make a grand and formal prayer to the Star God as soon as possible.
But...
before the prayer ceremony was ready, the Star God took the initiative to show up and gave me an oracle.
[The prophesied time has come, and the invasion from foreign lands has come. ]
This is what the Star God told me.
At the same time, I also noticed a shocking phenomenon: compared with the past, the starlight condensed by the Star God seemed to have become much dimmer.
I tried to ask the Star God.
The Star God told me the reason very frankly: [They destroyed the macro structure and caused considerable damage to my body. ]
What should I do?
After asking this question, the Star God fell into a long silence.
When the starlight was about to dissipate, He said again: [Just as in the prophecy, wait for the arrival of the messenger. ]
After that, the starlight condensed by the Star God quietly dissipated, and no matter how I called, He did not respond.
The Star God fell into a deep sleep again.
However, the reason for this sleep was not because of the Star God himself, but because of those bugs!
Although I don't know what the macro structure that the Star God is talking about is, I know one thing: those bugs, those alien lives, they have caused harm to the Star God!
At this point, as the people of the Star God, the Xinaluo civilization can no longer escape! ! Prepare
for war!
Fully prepare for war! !
Damn bugs, they will pay the price for this! !
Violet calendar 300 years.
In the past two years, the frequency of attacks on the mining fleet has decreased.
The royal family and the research institute believe that this is a good sign-it may be that the large number of expeditionary fleets has had a deterrent effect on the insect swarm, or it may be that the bugs have left the galaxy.
But I don't think this is a reassuring phenomenon.
After all, the world is always quiet before the storm.
Violet calendar 315 years.
With the help of long-distance observation technology, the research institute observed a strange phenomenon-in the past few decades, some stars and planets in the edge of the galaxy have disappeared silently.
Not only that, the brilliant nebulae scattered in the Milky Way also seemed to be affected by some unknown force and gradually became incomplete.
After learning this news, I suddenly had an epiphany.
This should be the macro structure mentioned in the Star God Oracle! ! !
The macro structure was destroyed...
Those insects are no longer satisfied with devouring the mining fleet and minerals!
They choose to directly devour nebulae, planets and even stars!
I know that the war is probably coming soon.
For the inheritance of the Xinaluo civilization, before the war officially comes, I not only need to make various preparations, but also choose the next queen.
When necessary...
I will let the next queen leave this star field with her people.
Violet calendar 328 years.
The swarm of insects appeared outside the Xinaluo star system without any signs, officially announcing the start of the war.
After the endless tide of insects, a giant insect with a curled body and a body size close to that of a planet quietly waited for something. Under the observation of various long-range detection equipment, I clearly saw a shocking scene.
——Insects are constantly coming out of the giant insect's huge conical tail and joining the war against the Xinaluo civilization.
That giant insect is the queen of the swarm! !
After decades of recuperation, it officially launched an attack on the Xinaluo civilization! !
Violet calendar year 329.
The prophecy came true!
Queen candidate Ophelia saw the shadow of the foreign envoy during the mobilization work.
Not only that, the envoy responded to Ophelia's surrender!
She will be the next queen of the Xinaluo civilization!
Violet calendar year 330.
The Xinaluo civilization did not hold on until the arrival of the envoy. In just two years, we fell into a situation of near defeat.
The defense line retreated again and again. If this continues, the Xinaluo civilization will be completely destroyed! !
Under the extremely dim red night sky, I prayed to the Star God again, hoping that the Star God could guide the future direction of the Xinaluo civilization.
Perhaps it was because it noticed the tragic situation of the Xinaluo civilization, or perhaps it was because it heard my prayers, the Star God sent down the oracle with great difficulty.
A series of coordinates.
A series of coordinates of the warp channel!
I think I know what to do.
Year 331 of the Violet calendar.
The battle became more and more tragic.
Under my command, Ophelia boarded the escape fleet and left the Xinaluo star system in a hurry with the last hope of civilization.
As for the other fleets...
they will be led by me, at the cost of their lives, to buy the last time for the escape fleet.
Perhaps thinking that victory is in hand, the queen insect that has been curled up behind the swarm finally made a move.
Under the gaze of everyone, it stretched its body and crashed into our home planet without hesitation! !
Its target is Xinaluo's home planet!!!
