Chapter 173
Several warships are anchored in the vast deep space, outside the planet.
In the mother ship protected by the frigate, in the central combat command room on the seventh floor of the bow, Major General Aesop sat at the commander's combat position and stared at the huge screen in front of him.
The onboard detectors released by the fleet will transmit images of the environment around the fleet back to the central computer of the mother ship, and finally display them on the screen. The images displayed on the screen mainly show the direction of Tianyun Star.
Ten days have passed since they arrived here. These ten days have been as peaceful as ever, and nothing unusual has been found.
This is not good news for them.
...In addition to replenishing the cargo, the most important thing for them this time is to investigate the reasons for the disappearance of the previous fleet. Now there is no clue which means that the investigation has reached a deadlock.
Since the Lost Star Zone has always been rumored to be a dangerous and chaotic restricted area in the starry sea, it naturally cannot be that safe.
This place is safe only because it was once cleared by the Alliance. All dangerous seeds were nipped in the bud, and civilization monitors were left behind to monitor the Tianyun Galaxy.
Even if there were interstellar mercenaries or space pirates who dared to enter the Lost Star Zone, they would never dare to enter the galaxy under the jurisdiction of the Alliance - let alone rob a fleet under the nose of the Alliance without being noticed.
But unfortunately, something happened to the spacecraft used by their Ikal civilization to transport cargo.
What made them feel even more difficult and helpless was that the environment in the Lost Star Zone was so complex that it was simply not something that a Level 4 civilization like them could explore. In other words, even if they wanted to investigate, they had no way to start.
Only the Alliance can deploy communication signals and surveillance satellites and other equipment in the Lost Star Sector. The Ikal civilization dare not and cannot report the loss of a fleet (a large number of Tianjia Zerg) to the Alliance.
If they were to do that, there would be no need to send out another investigation fleet... They just hoped that the force that dared to rob their civilization fleet would make a second move, so that they would have the opportunity to report to the alliance and make amends for their mistake.
"Major General, we just received a signal from the spaceship that Colonel Kvis and his crew are on. We estimate they will be back in fifteen minutes."
Aesop's mind was lost in thought when he was brought back to life by the voice of his adjutant.
"I see." He came back to his senses and responded, then asked, "Is everything going well for them?"
"Colonel Kvis said the mission was completed successfully."
"That's good."
Regardless, successfully replenishing the required amount of goods meant they had achieved half of their mission. The remaining half would be best accomplished, but if not... the things Kvis and the others brought back could be put to good use.
Not all people on Tianyun Star are useless.
Not only was the required quantity collected so quickly, but a research project that had been underway for hundreds of years without producing any results actually produced encouraging results.
Is the secret of the Tianjia Zerg finally going to be revealed?
Thinking of the glory and various rumors of the Tianjia civilization, Aesop became a little excited.
That is a biogenetic technology that has reached the top of the biogenetic field, applying biogenetic evolution adjustment technology to the entire race, and perfectly combining natural evolution with artificial screening without any hidden dangers.
——So far, there has not been a Tianjia civilization that can rival this one.
Even if they only obtain some marginal information on genetic optimization from the Tianjia Zerg, the benefits brought will be enough to greatly benefit their civilization.

Counting from the bottom up, the tenth floor of the mothership is filled with various fighter jets and small ships.
When the four transport ships joined the fleet formation, the small black spaceship had already passed through the outermost door of the passage connecting the tenth floor and the hatch, and after passing through a series of inspections, detections and disinfections, it slowly entered the parking deck.
Both Kvis and Kylo in the spaceship felt heavy in their hearts. It would be useless to test so many things.
The two of them only wanted to say hello to Lu Ze's mother in their hearts, but on the surface they looked as normal as each other, and did not let anyone see that there was anything wrong.
The two people walked out of the spaceship one after the other, and after undergoing a simple inspection, they boarded the elevator to the lower floor. Then, after getting out of the elevator on the same floor, they walked in two directions, one to the left and one to the right.
Kylo and Kvis, who had become "traitors", could do nothing but watch their bodies move away step by step to do something that they knew would not be a good thing.
The Central Operations Command Room on the ninth floor.
"Major General Aesop, Kvisnoko reports to you."
Aesop raised his chin slightly and said, "Briefly report what you saw on Tianyun Star."
"yes."
Kvis was very nervous. Although the strange brain worm and Luze were not here, he was still worried that Major General Aesop would be in the same situation as him and Kylo.
But even if it is a parasite, it can't exist out of thin air, right?
Since they're not here, they should be safe—! !? ? What the hell is that?!
In Kvis's vision, a worm-like creature with a pair of transparent wings appeared out of thin air, then slowly flew to Major General Aesop's body and suddenly disappeared.
He wanted to say something to remind the major general, but his mouth still couldn't control itself and kept spouting useless nonsense.
"There's nothing unusual on Tianyun Star, and everything is normal at the base... In summary, the disappearance of Major General Dorn's fleet likely has nothing to do with Tianyun Star..."
How sad.
…
Kylo returned to his room.
Because he had just completed a short mission, he reported to his superior and was given half a day off.
He sat down on his bed and took off the laptop from his wrist.
The dormitory sleeps six people, with bunk beds.
It was the time of duty now, so when he came back he was the only one in the room and he didn't have to worry about being discovered no matter what he did.
He took off his hat with one hand, removed a thin and weightless chip about the size of his little fingernail from the inner compartment, and inserted the chip into the socket on the side of the optical computer.
After returning to the mothership, the optical computer automatically connected to the internal network. As soon as the chip was inserted, the program inside the chip started working immediately.
I saw a progress bar surrounded by clouds and mist appear on the screen. The progress was constantly loading, but it was completed in the blink of an eye.
After the process was completed, Kylo calmly took out the chip and walked into the bathroom. He threw the chip into the toilet and pressed the flush button.
Kylo was numb. What the hell was this? It looked like it was installing some kind of program. What was it for?
——I have no idea at all.
Even if he was a technician, he couldn't tell what the program was used for from a progress bar.
Thinking of what Imper had said about asking them to cooperate with Luze, Kylo sighed in his heart. It would be hard not to cooperate... He didn't know what was going on with Colonel Kvis.
When Kylo thought about this, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling, as if some kind of restraint that restricted him was loosened a little.
He blinked first, then was ecstatic.
Before this, even the frequency of his blinking was controlled, but now that he could blink freely, it meant that the control over his body had been relaxed!
Although I don’t know why this happened, it would be a waste of this rare freedom if I don’t do something now.
He immediately turned his attention to the optical computer that had just loaded and installed some unknown program, trying to see if he could find out what the program did.
