Chapter 495 Big Tree
Two days later, the big tree was still clinging to the main star, unwilling to leave.
The federal chief finally issued the order to attack.
In space, countless artillery fire shot at the tree's body.
When the artillery fire hit the trunk, the tree really went crazy.
Countless vines attacked the warships directly. Even if the vines were broken, new ones would grow out immediately.
"Quick, retreat!!"
"All warships, retreat!"
However, it was obviously too late to retreat at this time.
The angry trees and vines attacked indiscriminately, intercepting the warships like giant pythons.
Countless artillery attacks could only break a few of its vines, but could not harm its trunk at all, and instead made it even more angry.
Several battleships were shot down.
Fortunately, when the ship was shot down, the soldiers were all in the escape pods and there were other warships to pick them up, but there were still casualties.
Helplessly, the only three remaining warships quickly rescued the people and retreated.
One of the warships, caught in the vines, was playing music in an attempt to soothe the tree.
But the angry tree is obviously not so easy to appease.
It crushes everything that makes noise.
Fortunately, this also gave the surviving warships time to escape.
Peace returned to space again.
Everyone in the control room was silent. After a long moment, someone started to complain, "Fuck! This is clearly a monster! How do we fight it?"
"The worst part is, we pissed it off."
Feeling the energy shield being attacked again and again, everyone started to panic.
"The energy shield won't last long."
“Although the tree didn’t attack us in the past few days, we kept it running just in case, so we consumed a lot of energy.
If it weren't for the supplies dropped in from outside, we might not even survive the rain."
"This is so annoying! Who provoked this space beast? Aren't they usually hidden in deep space?"
"Is it possible... that it's because of the singing?"
The person who spoke was immediately noticed by the chief, who said with displeasure, "Don't make such unfounded speculations.
Miss Jiang Qin has made great contributions to our Federation and to the orcs of the entire galaxy.
You start slandering others without even thinking about their contributions?"
Some people are ashamed, some people don't care.
“The probability of this happening is very high, and we haven’t said anything, it’s just a reasonable guess.
Otherwise, why did the tree only respond to her singing?"
"That's right. Perhaps the reason we can't lure her away is because it's a recording. Perhaps if we ask her to sing live on the spaceship, we can take the space beast away?"
"Are you crazy? That's an S-rank female!!"
“We knew it was an S-rank female, and we had no intention of risking her life.
But once the energy shield is broken, not only the S-level females, but all the females on our main planet might die.
And it's just a try, we will definitely come up with a foolproof plan."
Someone looked at the silent and sullen chief and reminded him, "You know, who among us here doesn't have a female at home?
Not to mention the officials themselves who are female. Don’t we know that females are precious?
But when the nest is overturned, no eggs will remain intact!"
“Perhaps we can ask Miss Jiang herself what she thinks about this matter. If something goes wrong, she can’t escape it.
Why not give it a try? At worst, we can send all our warships and spaceships to escort her, and also deploy all our escape pods to assist her."
No one spoke this time.
After a period of silence, the chief began to wonder whether this would be useful.
He said in a deep voice, "We can discuss this matter later. First, please ask Miss Jiang to come over. I will talk to her in person."
…
After Jiang Qin came, she sat quietly.
The chief didn't mention using her as bait, he just wanted to analyze with her why this big tree liked listening to music.
"Sir, this kind of thing should be left to the research institute."
"They've studied it, but haven't found any results, so I'd like you to cooperate with us in an experiment."
"What experiment?"
"Our energy shield can still withstand a few days of attacks, so I'd like you to take the spaceship and sing to the edge of space to see how it reacts."
As for how to transmit the sound, with all kinds of high-tech, it is not a problem at all.
The chief mainly wanted to test whether there was any difference between Jiang Qin's singing and the recording.
If it really worked, then he would beg Jiang Qin to try to lure it away.
But if there is no difference, then no one is allowed to mention this matter again, and they will focus on cutting off the tail to survive.
As long as they were within the energy shield and didn't leave the planet, Jiang Qin would naturally be willing to try.
As for the results of the test, she could naturally guess it.
First, it's useless, and then everyone on the planet has to escape by their own ability.
Secondly, if it is useful, then she will probably have to lure the monsters...
To be honest, she was scared.
After all, she lives such a happy life now, with a handsome and considerate husband and a lovely daughter.
There is a little life coming into my belly.
At this moment, she was selfish and didn't want to take any risks.
The strength of that tree is obvious to all.
It was because she knew how terrible it was that she hesitated.
She was afraid of death, and even more afraid that the people she cared about would die before her.
She doesn't have that much sense of justice, nor does she think that sacrificing herself to save millions of people is so great.
But if taking a risk could give someone she cared about a way out, she would still be tempted.
After all, she might not die...
The big tree was obviously irritated. It kept trying to attack the planet and even used all its vines to wrap around the entire planet.
If the main planet did not have natural weather equipment, the entire planet would have been shrouded in darkness long ago.
All the instruments that flew out to try to interfere with it were destroyed without exception.
Before, the music playing equipment could still survive, but now even the music playing equipment can only keep it quiet for half an hour.
After half an hour, it would start waving its vines impatiently.
In this case, it would be difficult to leave the main planet safely.
Once the energy shield is broken, the planet will face its end.
Seeing that she was silent, the chief did not urge her. He just sighed and played a video.
The video shows many small spaceships trying to leave the main planet, and they were all shot down by big trees.
"This is the result of the trials conducted by those noble families. No spaceship can escape under its perception.
Even if multiple spaceships cooperated and made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, they would not be able to escape safely.
We have become caged animals.”
