Chapter 211 The Man Behind the Scenes
Many star beasts of unknown origin and the insect army that took advantage of the situation wreaked havoc on the border of the empire, causing great trouble to the empire in a short period of time. All the armies were dispatched without stopping for a moment.
In addition to fighting everywhere, the empire also had to pay attention to whether there were wormholes in the central areas of various star fields. Unlike the undeveloped border stars of the empire, the central areas were inhabited by many stars with a large population. Once a wormhole opened there and the empire did not respond in time, it would bring huge losses to the empire.
If it were a normal thing, because there are powerful fleets patrolling all the time, the Zerg would not dare to easily place the wormhole in a place with dense patrols. However, most of the army corps are now transferred to deal with border problems, and the remaining army corps in the rear are mostly protecting various planets. It is difficult to dispatch a large number of fleets to patrol everywhere, and it may not be possible to discover the newly opened wormholes in the first place.
Fortunately, the Zerg clan is not unlimited in creating wormholes. Several more important conditions must be met.
First of all, wormholes can only be created by worm mothers. The worm mother needs to send a group of space worms to the predetermined coordinate points first, and then the worm mother can control the space worms on the other side to create wormholes.
Secondly, wormholes have spatial characteristics and consume a lot of energy stones. However, the energy stones mined generally cannot be used directly and need to be specially processed to become real energy stones. This process is not too difficult, but it also requires a corresponding amount of time.
The worm mother lives on energy stones and cannot do without energy stones every day. However, the resource stars occupied by the worm tribe are limited, and the energy stones accumulated by the worm tribe are also limited. They certainly cannot create a large number of wormholes, so the worm tribe will ensure that each wormhole can be used to the maximum extent. Now
the key is that they cannot determine the specific purpose of the worm tribe. Is it to take this opportunity to attack the empire, or is it just a preliminary test of the empire's strength, or something else? No one knows these, but everyone agrees that the worm mother's IQ is not low.
Although the Empire was not afraid of fighting the Zerg and had prepared to open a wormhole near the inhabited planet, it was still unpleasant until the knife fell.
There were three wormholes, one of which had been forcibly closed, and another closed automatically due to exhaustion of energy. The last one had just appeared not long ago, just when the war was reaching a white-hot stage. At this time, the Youhuang Army also arrived at the location of the third wormhole.
Chu Li had recovered after a half-day rest. Although he didn't understand what the golden egg in his mind was, after trying, he found that he could indeed control the golden egg to increase his mental power storage.
At the same time, with the help of the golden egg he had just discovered, he successfully closed the second wormhole he encountered, and he did not feel tired, but just a little tired.
The disappearance of the wormhole caused a series of question marks to appear in the minds of many people who were fighting. In their perception, the wormhole should still exist for a while, but this was a good thing. With their high combat qualities, they quickly withdrew their doubts and turned their attention back to the star beasts and insects on the battlefield.
Coupled with strong reinforcements, the war ended quickly, the besieged planet was freed, and a legion went down to deal with the star beasts and insects that had entered the interior of the planet.
The location of the wormhole chosen by the worm mother is certainly not a deserted planet. This besieged planet is also a habitable planet, but the population is not as large as that of Star 1461. However, the resources of this planet are twice as much as that of Star 1461, and it is rich in energy stones. This is also the reason why the worm mother chose this place.
In addition to the legions that entered the planet, the remaining legions also have their own tasks. Some go to support nearby planets, and some scatter to hunt down the star beast worms that came out of the wormhole and scattered all over the universe. However, their main target is the star beast, because they are not sure whether every star beast carries the destructive gene, but for the sake of insurance, the best way is to eliminate all the star beasts as much as possible.
In the following period of time, the Youhuang Army roamed around the borders of the Empire, supporting the various planets that were invaded, and at the same time paying attention to the news from the rear, preparing to rush back immediately once they received the news that the wormhole appeared in the central area.
But unexpectedly, half a month later, the Zerg tribe did not move at all, as if all the previous turmoil was a dream, and the Zerg tribe and the Empire returned to a peaceful state.
However, the Empire never relaxed its vigilance against the Zerg tribe. The Zerg tribe has always been a huge trouble, like an indestructible cockroach. Since humans entered the interstellar era, the Zerg tribe has been active on the stage and has never disappeared.
The universe seems to be particularly partial to the Zerg, with long life and powerful military force. When one generation of Zerg Queen dies, the next Zerg Queen is born immediately. Zerg Queens exist in the interstellar space for a long time, and no one can completely expel them.
On this day, Ji Yunzheng was still in a coma. No, it should be said that Chu Yu did not allow him to wake up. Every once in a while, someone would inject anesthetics into Ji Yunzheng's body. In order to prevent him from adapting to the effect of the anesthetic, the anesthetic would be changed every day. As for whether it would cause any bad things to him, who would care!
In addition, there were many people monitoring Ji Yunzheng. Chu Yu always felt that Ji Yunzheng was not that simple. In order to prevent mistakes during business trips, there were always people guarding him, monitoring everything.
Today, the Youhuang was still wandering in the universe. Chu Yu went to the infirmary as usual, and used his mental power to probe Ji Yunzheng. After confirming that he was fine, he left.
He had only recently started to use his mental power to probe Ji Yunzheng, because he found that there seemed to be some substances similar to the golden egg in Ji Yunzheng's mental sea, but there was very little of that substance. If the golden egg was as big as a goose egg, then the one in Ji Yunzheng's mind was as big as a matchstick.
This made Chu Yu certain that the golden egg was not Ji Yunzheng's creation. If this was really Ji Yunzheng's research success, why didn't Ji Yunzheng take the lion's share for himself, but let others take the spoils? This is something that can enhance mental power.
At the same time, this discovery also made him a little less nervous, at least he was not in Ji Yunzheng's calculations.
Things that are obtained for free are so unsettling.
As soon as he opened the door of the infirmary, Chu Li saw a person who should not be here, and looked down at the time on his laptop: "Why are you here? Are you done so early today?"
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, Qi Jingmu should be dealing with matters sent from the Imperial Capital Star.
Qi Jingmu stepped forward, put his arm around Chu Li's shoulder and walked back together, explaining as he walked: "There are fewer things today, and they have been dealt with."
Chu Li heard something sharply, looked up and asked: "Have the star beast issues been resolved?"
Qi Jingmu nodded, with some joy in his tone: "There have been no infected star beasts in the Tiandi Kingdom in the past few days, and the source of the star beasts has been found out. All the star beasts are They were sent to the Zerg territory in advance. After many "friendly" negotiations with the Zerg, it has been confirmed that there are no other infected star beasts in their territory. We speculate that the person behind the scenes has been preparing for such a large number of infected star beasts for many years, and such a thing will not happen again in the Empire in a short time. "
It is self-evident who the person behind the scenes is. What big things can they do when the people are controlled by the Empire?
Unless his subordinates continue to cause trouble, but according to the Empire's judgment of Ji Yunzheng's character, they think that Ji Yunzheng's desire for control is too strong, and the lives of his subordinates are in his hands. Before getting news from Ji Yunzheng, they will not act rashly.
That's right, the Empire has found some useful information from the data brought back, among which is the use of special chips to control human life, but they have not found a way to destroy the chips.
Chu Xi paused and stopped where he was: "Then... are we going back?"
