Chapter 163
In front of him, a video was playing on the system screen.
The scene shown in the video is very simple, a fleet is moving in deep space.
[The fleet consists of one main ship and four secondary ships. The emblem on the fleet's hull is the symbol of the Ikar civilization...]
"I remembered that I still have some things to do, so I won't stay."
Qi Heng was multitasking. While listening to A0, he also declined the invitation from Chu Xiu and his son. Compared to a breakfast that didn't matter whether he ate it or not, this fleet entering the Tianyun Galaxy was obviously more important.
He pushed Xizai away and pinched his cheek: "I'll come to see you next time."
Chu Xiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect him to leave so easily. His original words of persuasion turned into: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, I can handle it."
Qi Heng walked out as he spoke, his steps were like the wind, and he left the underground and returned to the ground at an extremely fast speed.
Inside the aircraft.
He sat in the driver's seat and took a handkerchief to wipe the water stains left on his face and hands after washing his face.
On Tianyun Star, where supplies are scarce, handkerchiefs are much easier to find than tissues.
The aircraft was connected to the system, and the video received by the system was projected onto the large screen on the aircraft. From the various signs that A0 had thoughtfully placed on the side, it could be seen that the fleet was moving very fast.
And their destination is clear.
——It’s Tianyun Star.
The Ikal civilization's fleet entered the Tianyun galaxy at this point in time. It is impossible to say that it has nothing to do with the fleet that he designed to disappear.
Qi Heng was calm and collected: "At their current speed, how long will it take them to reach Tianyun Star?"
[Their speed is nearly twice as fast as the previous fleet, and they are expected to arrive outside Tianyun Star in seven hours.]
According to the records left by Base No. 2, unaware of the changes that have taken place on Tianyun Star, they will follow their old routine... contacting the base on Tianyun Star for rendezvous upon reaching the outer reaches of Tianyun Star.
The civilization monitor belongs to the alliance and plays a supervisory role. The Ikar civilization, a mere fourth-level civilization designated as a supervisory civilization, is not qualified to use it.
Therefore, they can only use relay satellites to communicate with the base on the surface of the planet after they arrive outside Tianyun Star.
This gives Qi Heng considerable room for maneuver.
After all, nowadays, the entire Tianyun Star including the civilization monitors are under the control of the system, and he has plenty of ways to set traps to trick the enemy.
"Seven hours..."
We cannot deal with them in the same way as we dealt with the previous escort fleet. If it happens again, and the Ikar Fleet is defeated and reports the unusual incident of the disappearance of the Tianyun Galaxy Fleet, it will be very disadvantageous to them.
With the foundation of Ikal civilization, it could not withstand the second blow of the disappearance of goods and fleet.
He tapped his forehead with his fingers and soon came up with an idea.
An hour later.
On the control console of the aircraft, a white silver-striped cocoon was constantly trembling, as if something inside was trying to break out of the cocoon.
Qi Heng was playing with five octahedral diamond crystals about five centimeters in size in his hands, looking at the control console casually.
The next moment, the cocoon broke open and a larva no thicker than his thumb crawled out.
At the same time, a tenacious yet weak mental force continued to spread outward from the larva's body until it could no longer spread outward and reluctantly stopped.
Qi Heng paused and focused his mental power on the larva. When the two mental powers connected, he could sense various emotions such as awe and admiration coming from the larva, which expressed closeness.
Besides that, there is also 'hunger'.
The larva's instinct made it turn around and swallow the cocoon mouthful by mouthful, but even this could not stop its hunger. It instinctively conveyed this feeling to the master of its spiritual power in front of it.
The brain worm is always much smarter than the average primitive Zerg, even if it has just been born.
Well, after all, you have to rely on your brain to make a living under the master.
Qi Heng placed several crystals in his hand in front of the brain worm, indicating that it could eat them all.
One crystal contains 10,000 energy points. There are six of them here, which is more than enough to feed it, let alone let it grow to maturity.
The original Zerg have no concept of overeating. Unless they are actively interfered with, all the energy the larvae obtain is used to evolve into adults, and the adults obtain energy to evolve into queen insects.
After consuming enough energy, the brainworm larvae will evolve into adults in one step, but the necessary conditions for evolving into a queen worm are currently lacking.
What will the first brainworm larva to reach maturity look like?
Qi Heng's eyes showed interest.
As the crystals on the console were swallowed piece by piece, the brain worm's body, which was originally less than the thickness of a thumb, also grew larger, and finally stopped when it grew to more than half a meter long.
The brain worm jumped down from the console, holding the only remaining crystal in its mouth, and finally crawled to his feet and began to spin silk.
The white silk that was spit out continued to wrap around the brain worm's body, and finally formed a cocoon half a meter long and wide.
Qi Heng reached out and touched the outer layer of the cocoon. The faintly silver cocoon looked like an enlarged version of the small cocoon before, but its texture was much harder.
The brain worm has strong mental power, but its body is quite fragile.
Therefore, even if the brain worms are needed to go to the front line during the war, they will command from the well-protected base camp.
So he had to prepare some bodyguards for the brain worms who were about to leave their hometown to work. Considering that the brain worms needed to be concealed and have strong attack power in their next work, he finally chose the phantom worms.
The larvae of the phantom worm are similar to mosquito larvae and are almost invisible to the naked eye. Their body size hardly changes during their adult stage.
Its characteristics are fast speed and strong toxicity. When necessary, it can also merge and transform into certain creatures under the command of the superior Zerg. It also has the ability to use collective mental power to cover itself or other creatures with an illusion.
This ability to change is also the origin of their name phantom insects.
Of course, besides the phantom bugs, a small number of other primitive Zerg species are also needed... whether for energy collection or as thugs, all aspects must be in place...
Qi Heng thought about the batch of dormant larvae he received from Qi Lan along with the brain worms, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, feeling very happy.
Although only two days have passed, Qi Lan has already produced a lot of primitive Zerg, which can be used in the next "infiltration plan".
…
Just one minute after A0's estimated time, Base No. 2 received a contact request from outside Tianyun Star.
Inside Base No. 2, Imper, who had already received Qi Heng's notification, stood in front of the control console. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then calmly answered the communication request.
"Are you the person in charge of the Tianyun Star base?"
The person on the other end of the line produced a letter of authorization without waiting for Imper to answer, his tone cold and impatient.
"We are here to receive the goods under the orders of the Ikar Civilization Executive Council."
"This is the document authorizing Xi Jinping, as well as the quantity of goods we need this time."
"No matter what method you use, I want to see this batch of goods in ten days."
Hearing this, Imper's stunned face revealed a wry smile. "The goods we prepared this year have already been shipped away by Major General Dorn. Even if you say so now, we won't be able to gather the quantity you require right now."
The document was followed by a list of goods, which not only contained a considerable amount, but also exceeded the original amount by half.
"And the quantity you requested is much larger than in previous years..." Imper expressed his embarrassment and deep fear towards his superiors vividly.
Felix, who was appointed as the investigator this time from the main star Tianyun Star and possessed great power, did not care at all about Imper's dilemma.
"I said, no matter what means you use—do you understand?"
Is this what I think it means?
It is true that the Zerg on Tianyun Star are stupid and useless, but it is unacceptable to need so many of them at once, no matter how much you try to coax them.
Imper's heart skipped a beat. The only option left was to use force to capture them... The doctor hadn't said how to handle this, only that he should cooperate with the people from the main planet...
At this point, I can only deal with it according to the doctor's instructions.
Imper gritted her teeth and agreed obediently: "I understand what you mean. I will try my best to meet your requirements."
