The front part of the escalating train, located on the storage floor.
"I'm 2,300 years old, which, according to color mimicry lifespan standards, would put me in middle age."
“When I was little, I was inspired by the great patriarch to study hard and was admitted to the graduate school with excellent grades.”
"At that time, the artificial star project had not yet begun. I followed my teacher to conduct energy conversion research with the goal of strengthening the super-torque cannon."
Gustav is in a low mood and tells his history.
Chen An asked: "Was the enhancement successful?"
"It didn't work. The difference between a level 4 cannon and a level 5 cannon was too great to be successful. Then the artificial star project started. My teacher thought it was a waste of time to continue researching energy conversion, so he asked me to focus on the stellar project."
Chen An never expected that this guy was actually an energy scientist.
"As expected, the real person never reveals his true identity. So you have this ability."
Gustav said bitterly, "I haven't actually entered the core layer. I've been doing some local repair work. Because I'm doing repairs everywhere, I can enter all artificial stars with my identity verification."
He originally provided identity verification to Chen An in order to intensify the war, but he didn't expect that the Mimics did not fight the train to the death, but instead separated.
In this case, the fact that he provided identity verification might be discovered. Considering Tedler's viciousness, I can't imagine what would happen.
Gustav continued, "That year, the Patriarch's army slaughtered people everywhere, claiming to be killing traitors. But I understand that those he killed weren't traitors, but the most innocent lives. Evil Eyes were created one by one, and civilizations were destroyed one by one."
"Perhaps there weren't enough alien races to kill, so he decided to kill some of the sub-races. I'll never forget the tragic scene on Taf during those few days."
After a moment's silence, Gustav said, "Creating a sub-tribe is simple. You separate some bubbles from your body. These bubbles will continue to grow with the help of super energy. During this time, they may mix with other substances to form various sub-tribes. In fact, in my opinion, the sub-tribes are more like the children of the main tribe."
Chen An also thinks so.
Creating sub-tribes should be their way of reproduction, but it is not recognized because there are too many impurities mixed in.
"How many were killed?"
"Three billion sub-tribes were killed and taken away to make the Evil Eye. I couldn't stop it, and neither could my father. We could only watch."
Chen An interrupted, "Wait, how did you come out? Isn't it the same way of reproduction?"
"The Mimics are also divided into yin and yang, or male and female according to you Purple Star people. The combination of a feminine and a masculine mimic will produce offspring, but the success rate is very low. That's why the main race is extremely precious and rare."
Chen An suddenly realized: "So, the secondary race is actually equivalent to a clone, and it's not a pure clone. Are the other mimics the same as you?"
If there are not many main tribes, it means that the threat to the train is not too great.
Gustav replied, "Only the alien mimics are like us. The gigantic mimics are a yin-yang entity, and they reproduce by self-dividing. Elemental mimicry depends on the compatibility of the elements. If the elements are perfectly compatible, they can combine. For example, the compatibility between oxygen mimicry and iron mimicry is very high, and a binary hybrid mimicry can be created."
Chen An found the highlight!
"Oxygen mimicry? Iron mimicry? The combination is iron oxide? Wait, aren't elemental mimicry wind, fire, thunder, and lightning?"
Gustav said, "Sir, don't you know the periodic table? Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon."
The Mimics have a different, more complicated name for these elements, but this is how it translates into Purple Star language.
Chen An laughed and said, "So it's chemistry, not fantasy. I almost thought it was some element from magic. Is there any uranium mimicry?"
"Uranium mimics are extremely difficult to create, requiring extreme conditions. Each uranium mimic is born with the ability to emit radiation, and holds a high status in the realm of elemental mimics."
At this point, Fuyao gave a reminder that the train had arrived at the preset galaxy.
Gustav was very nervous and quickly slid the screen to find the location of his hometown.
"That's it, Tav."
The stars are dim, and Taf seems to have fallen into the abyss, without any light at all.
Gustav's excitement was immediately suppressed, and he opened his mouth but could not speak for a long time.
Chen An ignored him and asked Fuyao to adjust the picture to a more detailed one.
As the distance gets closer, you can see countless warship wreckage floating outside the atmosphere.
Chen An sighed, "It's obvious that Tedler has been here."
The sight extends downward through the atmosphere, and the entire planet is dead silent and dark.
But according to Gustav, the Taf people are good at technology. There is a magnificent technological city on the planet that never goes out and can be seen with the naked eye even outside the planet.
Ten seconds later, Fuyao scanned the entire planet and gave the data.
[There are traces of life on this planet, but only a few hundred thousand]
Chen An looked back at Gustav, who pretended to be calm and said, "Most of the seven million Tafu people are elites. They may have been taken away by the chief. My lord, I want to go down and take a look."
"Go ahead, I'll find someone to protect you."
Protection is superficial and mainly involves surveillance.
In order to ensure smooth progress, Chen An sent his strongest man, Dale, to lead a team of 500 people to Taf Star.
The train will not land, but will go to the near-orbit of the star to replenish some energy.
The star is entering the end of its life and is very likely to become a neutron star in the future.
“Are there any resources around?”
This question was a useless one, and Fuyao's answer was no.
"Tedler is truly incredible. There really isn't a single drop left. It's a shame that the Tafu people were probably taken away by him. My trip was in vain."
[Based on the conditions on the planet's surface, it seems the Tafu tribe was more likely annihilated. This is because, judging by the time, Tedler hadn't retreated yet.]
"You mean to say that you attacked the Taff tribe before Tydler retreated? Why?"
【No information yet】
About half a day later, Chen An received a communication from Gustav.
He was now a mimic, like a balloon filled with air, his sadness evident.
"Seven million of my people were killed, leaving only half a million. I feel ashamed of my ancestors."
"It's all my fault. I betrayed the Mimics and suffered this disaster."
Chen An told him Fu Yao's speculation and asked him to continue investigating.
Another half day passed, and when the next call was received, Gustav had returned to his Purple Star form, his face was normal, but his pupils appeared burnt black.
"That's right. Tedler had already issued the order for the massacre. It wasn't me who provided you with the identity verification. It seems that Tedler never considered giving me a passenger quota."
The reality is sad, but there is no way around it. The weak have no choice but to survive.
Chen An asked: "What are your plans next?"
Gustav was silent for a long time, and suddenly he knelt down weakly on his knees.
"If you are willing to take my people in, I will change my name to Lin Hao from now on."
