Chapter 95: Date of Change
No matter what unexpected changes occurred on the planet BV32-II.
The Great Wilderness Star Region. Far Solar Orbit. The Expedition has arrived at the 'dropping point' at the scheduled time.
Against the backdrop of the vast universe, this super starship of the First Fortress is like a giant whale quietly rising from the dark deep sea, emerging little by little from the cracks in time and space in the star field with sparse starlight.
The pale afterglow of the white dwarf outlines the majestic and cold outline of the super starship.
For this battle, it is just a matter of "igniting" a star, and it is far from the level of deploying a super carrier.
The significance of the human expedition ship appearing here is more of a declaration with a sense of "intimidation".
This was the first time since the decisive battle thousands of years ago that humans appeared in such a formal manner in the territory where the Zerg had been trapped for thousands of years, and declared their absolute dominance over the universe so blatantly.
*
Far away in the deepest part of the universe, the Zerg Queen trapped in the Hera Black Hole has also transformed into an absolute form.
The huge all-energy incarnation continuously absorbed the energy stored in the entire nest for thousands of years. The huge energy-transformed light wings flapped, and in a desperate and miserable posture, it began to hit the critical point of the black hole.
For it, this is a battle for survival that concerns the future continuation of the race.
Behind it, densely packed and waiting, are thousands of huge "mobile insect nests", which are not only soldier nests for transporting the insect race, but also a kind of war fortress that can be attacked and defended.
Hundreds of millions of Zerg are eagerly waiting for their queen to open up the "leapfrog wormhole" leading to the Great Wilderness Star Region.
The "cage showdown" between the two races, with light years as the scale and antimatter rifts as the boundary, is about to begin.
The planet BV32-II will be the final prize that only the victor can claim.
*
At this moment, deep in the mantle of planet BV32-II, there is a set of external energy waves that resonate wonderfully with the planet itself in a special melody.
On the tiny gravel of the earth's core shale, 'Su Xi', who existed in a spiritual state, touched a small special existence.
The fingertips that lightly touched it glowed slightly, and the golden "forehead chakra" that had just formed between the eyebrows began to flow with magnificent golden energy along a special spiritual circuit.
Under the deliberate control of Su Xi's consciousness, the golden energy flowing in the 'frontal chakra' quickly overflowed, and passed through the glowing fingertips, with a harmonious but strong resonance, instantly entering the familiar fluctuations displayed by the gravel, and eagerly pursuing it.
Then, she felt the familiar feeling of weightlessness again, the strong feeling of "extraction" of her own energy——
Fall
Fall again
It seemed like only a moment, but also seemed to last for an incalculable amount of time. The only thing I could feel was this endless feeling of falling.
Su Xi, who had been awakened, noticed this abnormal state of 'lost'. She subconsciously wanted to withdraw, but the spiritual power that had already been extended was like a piece of meat being stared at by a hungry beast, and the strong and irresistible suction force was pulling and devouring along the golden thread inch by inch.
Su Xi finally realized that something was wrong, but for a moment she was helpless.
In such doubt, the originally solid and concrete spiritual body immediately became blurred, and was about to lose its "human" form and return to a ball of empty energy.
Just when she was getting anxious, a ball of ice-blue energy suddenly erupted from the void, violently severing the thin thread connecting Su Xi and the microcosm, and the irresistible feeling of "extraction" temporarily stopped.
'Don't go.'
"Come back..."
There seemed to be a familiar wave conveying a message of stopping, but before she could find out clearly, the thin connection was broken again -

Aboard the Expedition.
Albert stood in front of the combat screen in the bridge area, and the light screen in front of him flashed various combat arrangements and specific data frame by frame.
In the encrypted channel of quantum communication, Albert was talking to Fitzgerald, and occasionally vague words came out: "... Yindu's side... Frank's situation... currently has 60% of the seats..."
Captain David of the Expedition, dressed in a neat captain's uniform, looked over from the center of the bridge area.
He had already updated the combat arrangements as instructed and was just waiting for Albert's secret order to take action.
This temporary communication did not delay the communication for too long. Albert quickly reported the work. However, in David's eyes, the blond lieutenant's expression suddenly became as solemn as if the world was coming to an end. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back in the end.
"Since I cannot dissuade you either publicly or privately," Albert replied solemnly, "Then I will ensure that everything will be done in accordance with your will in the name of 'Albert Schulen'."
After the communication was cut off, Albert nodded slightly to the Expedition Captain David who was waiting on the side and said, "I have received the latest instructions from the commander. This is the secret order to start the war."
After a brief inspection, the captain of the Expedition quickly made all preparations, and then made an announcement on the public channel for reporting to the entire ship:
"All combat units, please take note. We are now entering the final ten-second countdown for 'Star Drop'."
10, 9, ...3, 2...
The 'Star Throwing' has begun.
Against the backdrop of the barren and desolate universe of the Great Wilderness, a small mobile warship loaded with "fuel" capsule bullets, escorted by five Expedition frigates, arrived at the designated launch point.
Thousands of mobile warships detached from the loading ships and set sail, coordinating to form three combat units: one for dropping, one for mobile replacement, and the last one for alert.
The first group of battleships responsible for the drop first arrived at the launch point 30 astronomical units outside the gravitational range of the white dwarf.
As the final countdown reached zero, the stellar capsule exploded, leaving a long trail against the dark background of the universe.
After passing the predetermined elliptical orbit of the planet BV32-II, the ejection force was exhausted. After a brief drift, it entered the star's 'strong gravitational field' and was completely captured by the gravity of the white dwarf.
The state of static drifting lasted for less than sixteen seconds. These "stellar capsule bullets" that entered the gravitational capture circle of the white dwarf were slowly dissolved by the extremely high temperature in the star's radiation layer, and the "fuel material" wrapped inside was ejected under the influence of the strong gravity of the white dwarf.
Looking through the observation screen on the Expedition, it looked as if countless pea pods were spitting out transparent "beans" one by one.
Until these transparent beans completely enveloped the sky above the white dwarf, and then whizzed and spun towards the burning surface of the white dwarf.
*
At this moment, it had already left the Great Wilderness Star Region and was politely escorted by two escort ships back to the royal ship of the Central System.
This slightly small gray boat was exclusively used by the chamberlain Frank, who was now holding a wine glass and chatting cordially with Nader who was visiting him with a smile.
He comforted the only Duke of Beta in the history of the empire, and said with great sympathy: "You have been treated so rudely and unfairly, and I have seen it all. When I return to Yindu, I will report to your majesty everything I saw in the First Fortress."
"Oh?" Nader said in a long tone, smiling at him, "Truthfully?"
"Yes." The reputable chamberlain smiled very elegantly, "Of course, it also includes all the 'truth' you have seen and heard."
Nader smiled with satisfaction, pushed the box in his hand over, and was about to say something.
However, at this moment, the screen flashed, and the ship's AI's reminder sounded, "Emergency report on the battle situation. The secret data about the latest tactical arrangements of the Great Wilderness Star Region is being uploaded."
So for Nadel, the real-time war situation in the Great Wilderness Star Region, which was already three thousand light years away, suddenly appeared before his eyes! It appeared on the communication screen of the private ship of a chamberlain who claimed to strictly uphold the "War Maneuvers Law"?
If the scene of a "stellar bomb" roaring toward a white dwarf on the communication screen was normal, the real-time strategic loss data and subsequent battleship arrangements that scrolled across the screen seemed a bit illogical.
Especially when the core 'fuel' component of the 'stellar bomb' in the updated data popped out from a cracked folder, Frank's face completely changed!
"Damn it!" He slammed the table hard with a vicious look on his face.
Nader was very puzzled. He moved his eyes away from the light screen and turned to look at Frank who suddenly went crazy.
"You!?" The blond duke barely had time to utter a single word in shock before he staggered back two steps, his eyes widening as if he had seen something horrible.
The faint light on the screen reflected in Nader's aqua blue and slightly frightened eyes.
The scene unfolding before him at this moment was what was happening on the "Star Explosion" battlefield in the Great Wilderness Star Region three thousand light years away.
The tiny capsules, like transparent beans, suddenly expanded under the extremely high temperature and strong gravity of the white dwarf's surface! They were like colorful transparent bubbles blown up by a naughty child, and the closer they got to the surface of the ground, the bigger they expanded.
Inside the "transparent bubble" is heavy nuclear matter wrapped in a layer of antiparticle film. Therefore, when this layer of antiparticle "bubble film" comes into contact with the surface of the star and annihilates, the heavy nuclear matter wrapped in the antiparticle film breaks through the surface of the star under the action of strong gravity and attacks the dense inner core of the white dwarf bit by bit.
In the secret communication channel stolen by Frank, these scenes of information that were originally only shared in the "Expedition" war command center were presented in full view to the two human nobles far away from the battlefield.
No, for Nader, Frank, who slowly turned his head at this moment, could hardly be called a 'human'.
His eyes were bloodshot and covered with white film, and he said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that the Majesty of our clan has taken a fancy to this generation of 'Gerald Bloodline'. As expected, as expected..."
"The white dwarf can no longer be stopped... so... what else can we do?"
As Frank muttered to himself, the clothes of this originally gentle and refined alpha burst from the inside out. Surging limbs protruded from his chest and abdomen, and his neck was strangely bent, revealing a slender and delicate insect head from the open neck.
The sticky insect fluid just dripped onto the floor.
Nadel staggered back, pressing the button on his wrist to call for guards, but this visit was meant to be private and secret, and he was not sure if the three alpha guards outside the house could fight against this parasite disguised as a human.
'Frank' temporarily ignored the only human in this closed space. It opened its mouth wide and published the latest information it had obtained on the 'Insect Network' at a frequency unique to the insect race.
*
Not to mention how Nadel resolved the crisis, the "star explosion" scene was more than 3,000 light years away from the two royal ships returning to the central galaxy.
The Zerg Queen's all-out attack made good progress. Although it still couldn't escape from the confinement of the Hera Black Hole, it crashed into a larger "hole" based on the spider-thread-like "solid wormholes" that were opened up bit by bit by five or six generations of "leaping worms."
Three honeycomb-shaped "worm stars" suddenly appeared in the Great Wilderness Star Region.
After receiving the latest intelligence from Frank, the seventh-level Brainworm in charge of this defensive battle gave up his original plan to besiege the Expedition in the far solar orbit.
Then it headed for the planet BV32-II at full speed.
For the Great Wilderness Galaxy, the originally empty planetary orbits were suddenly crowded with a "worm star" that accounts for about one-third of the total mass of the planet BV32-II.
The gravitational system of the entire white dwarf galaxy has been completely destroyed, and the planet BV32-II is about to be squeezed out of its original planetary orbit.
However, the 'explosion' of the white dwarf is proceeding at an unhurried pace as planned.

On the Expedition, Albert sighed with a heavy heart, "Everything is as you expected."
However, he had a heavy worry in his heart, a doubt that he couldn't express, 'Is it worth it for an omega? To put himself in a situation where the chance of survival is only 13%?'
From the perspective of a high-ranking noble, his Highness's action of bringing back Concubine Chu during this trip to the Great Wilderness Star Territory was something he fully supported and hoped for.
But as he watched the fluctuations in Fitzgerald's life value and the almost exhausted nuclear crystal energy on the monitor, Albert's thoughts changed completely.
