Time goes by day by day.
The high-speed reconnaissance ship that was roaming around outside discovered new situations.
When the information reached Li Xin's flagship, he broke out in a cold sweat.
He immediately convened a meeting of senior military officers.
On Li Xin’s flagship, a scene in space was released.
This is a video recorded by a high-speed reconnaissance ship.
In the universe, a group of huge monsters are flying at sub-light speed, and the direction they are flying is exactly the location of Tianjin Si, the united planet.
A staff officer stood in front and said, "Commendators, what you are seeing now is the video sent by the reconnaissance ship."
"We can see from the scene that this is a group of space creatures."
"This type of space creature is recorded in the information provided by the Seventh Wave. It is a relatively common alien race!"
"Void Worm!"
"They are huge, no less than the size of our human destroyers, and their goal is obvious, they are heading straight for the Alliance."
Someone asked: "How do they find the union so accurately?"
The staff officer explained, "These voidworms are naturally sensitive to the presence of life. Even if they are dozens of light years away, they can still find planets with life."
"These void worms can't make superluminal jumps, but their subluminal speeds are already quite fast. The nest of these void worms might have originally been not far from Deneb."
"Now when we began to colonize this planet, these voidworms were attracted here."
"Based on the current speed, this batch of void worms will arrive at the Tianjin system in about two years."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the time.
I originally thought that these void worms would reach the alliance soon, but I didn't expect it would take so long.
Two years is enough time for humans to respond.
Li Xin said: "Tell me about the specific situation of the void worm, such as its fighting method and so on."
The staff officer said, "Yes, sir!"
Then, the Voidworms in the image were magnified. "Among this batch of Voidworms, the largest one is over 700 meters long."
The overall appearance is like a twisted and hideous insect with a long and narrow shape.
There are sharp claws on the edges of its body and dense tentacles on its head.
The staff officer pointed at the Voidworm and began to introduce it: "In the void, this one should be a growing Voidworm. They have two main methods of attack."
"The first is an energy attack that is spewed out from the mouth. The energy comes from the energy they absorb daily in space."
"The damage capability of this energy attack is roughly equivalent to the power of our destroyer's main gun."
"However, this attack also has a disadvantage, which is that the range must be very short, only about half the range of our main guns."
The staff officer then pointed at the densely packed claws and tentacles of the Void Worm and said, "Everyone, look here again. This is another attack mode of the Void Worm."
"Use your tentacles to grab your enemies, then use your claws to tear them apart."
"Voidworms have a very special organ. Although they cannot make superluminal jumps over extremely long distances, their unique organ can store energy in normal times and activate it during combat, greatly increasing their subluminal speed."
"After activating this organ, these voidworms will be able to quickly reach the vicinity of our ships and launch close combat attacks on them."
The staff officer said, "According to the records, the largest elderly Voidworm is even larger than a battleship."
"One of Blueprint's fleets once encountered a swarm of Void Zerg this large. One of their battleships was even overtaken by the Void Zerg and torn to pieces, annihilating it in space."
The officers in the command center were stunned when they heard this.
Originally, everyone expected that the threat of this void worm did not seem to be that big, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Li Xin thought for a moment and said, "It seems we need to get rid of these void bugs as soon as possible!"
"And they were able to approach the Deneb system in such a short time. Does that mean their base isn't far from us?"
The staff officer said: "That's right!"
"Perhaps their original target wasn't us, but the Walker Guardian."
"It was just that we later discovered that we were closer to them in Deneb, so we turned around."
"The data provided by the Seventh Wave shows that these Voidworms usually build their nests around black holes to cultivate young Voidworms."
Someone asked, "So why are they looking for planets with life?"
"Is it for food?"
"That's not appropriate. They're already a species capable of space travel. They can't absorb energy anywhere. Do they still need to eat biomass to replenish their energy?"
The staff officer shook his head and said, "Eating is only one of the needs."
"They are looking for planets with life, but their real need is to reproduce."
"The reproduction of voidworms is very unique. They rely on spores to reproduce. This creature is hermaphroditic and does not have the ability to cultivate spores into juvenile voidworms."
"So the reason they seek out planets with life is to spread their spores in low-Earth orbit, allowing these spores to enter the life below, absorb biomass, and gradually grow."
"These spores will absorb nutrients from the planet's life and grow into larvae."
"At this stage, the larvae cannot enter space. They will continue to grow within the planet. The price of this growth is devouring and killing and absorbing the life on the planet, and even killing and devouring each other."
"When they grow to about a hundred meters in size, they can leave the planet and enter space."
"Generally speaking, civilizations that are unable to kill these void worms in space will also be unable to deal with their spores and the larvae that emerge."
"The spores ejected by the voidworms in space will naturally be ejected towards the areas with the highest concentration of life. This will cause life on the planet to lose its ability to resist in a short period of time."
After listening to this information, everyone was thoughtful.
Li Xin thought for a moment and said, "Since these void bugs are so dangerous, we absolutely cannot leave them behind."
"Order the high-speed reconnaissance ships to continue their investigation in the direction they came from, and try to find their lair as soon as possible!"
"The fleet is setting sail now. Let's kill these vanguard troops first!"
