Chapter 562: Planning



A large amount of information and data flashed across the screen, most of which were fleeting.

Later on, the flashing of data finally slowed down, and it seemed that a clear result was finally obtained.

The alien technician's shoulders slumped slightly.

"How is it?" A tall and strong alien man next to him asked immediately, his expression stern and his prominent facial features very cold and hard.

The technician shook his head helplessly, his teeth chattering. "The final result is out. No, this planet may have no value anymore."

Hess's expression turned cold. "You mean, we traveled thousands of miles to this remote corner of the Liuhuo Galaxy, and in the end, all we found was a worthless energy star?"

The technician shuddered. "There's nothing I can do. The data above shows that this planet has run out of energy. Further development would be a waste of time."

Hess took a step forward, his eyes fixed on the data on the screen.

"The information we received should be correct. What caused this? Did humans remove all the energy from the planet before we did?"

"Humans don't have this ability." Ken, who was standing nearby, said calmly.

His tone was firm, with obvious contempt for humans.

"If it's not human, then what's the reason?" Hess glanced at the technician with a sharp look.

The technician took a deep breath. These two people were really something. He was just a small technician, but they were putting pressure on him.

"If the data analysis is correct, it should be the Zerg in this universe."

When Hess and Ken heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

The higher-dimensional universe also has the Zerg race, which is also a race that gives them headaches.

Their strongest point is not their fighting power but their numbers.

With countless numbers and a human wave tactic alone, it is enough to scare even aliens.

Of course, the Zerg combat power in the high-dimensional universe is definitely higher than that in the low-dimensional universe.

Both of them reacted subconsciously upon hearing the word Zerg.

Every time the Zerg appears, it is like a swarm of locusts passing through, and no planet is spared.

"It's actually the Zerg, which is understandable." Ken nodded.

"But there is a problem." The technician said puzzledly: "Strictly speaking, the energy on this planet has not been completely exhausted. For us, the amount is too small, the cost of mining is too high, and the return is too low, so it is not worth it."

"But the Zerg don't have any cost. They can easily absorb the last bit of energy on this planet. Why do they leave behind this little bit of energy?"

Hess speculated: "These Zergs didn't actually leave. Are they trying to lure you into a trap?"

"But according to the information I scanned, there is no sign of life on this planet, and the nearest planet is not nearby, so it doesn't make any difference whether we set an ambush or not."

The technician paused and said a result that even he found incredible.

"They left these energies without absorbing them. There are only two possible reasons. One is that something happened that forced them to leave. The other is that they were so scared that they didn't even dare to absorb the remaining energy and ran away."

"Scared away?" Ken felt as if he had heard a big joke. "Could it be that they knew we were coming and were scared away?"

"The Zerg in the Xuantu Universe should have a queen. The most likely possibility is that the queen is not here, and something important happened that made her choose to recall the Zerg ants from this energy star." Hess said.

"Judging from the traces left on the planet, it should be a temporary departure. This explanation makes sense." The technician looked at it again.

Ken looked around at everyone and shrugged, "So are we going to return now, empty-handed, and get scolded by the prince?"

"If you want to be scolded, go ahead and do it yourself. I don't want to. Before I came out, I promised the prince that I would bring the energy back." Hess pressed the operating instructions on the screen with his ten fingers at a high frequency for a while.

The image on the screen was continuously screened and finally stopped at a picture of a planet.

The planet appears to be shrouded in a gray nebula.

The planet is very large, at least ten times larger than the energy star just now.

"What is this planet?" Ken asked.

The technician pulled up the planet's data and said, "This is also an energy planet."

Ken glanced at the data above and said, "It doesn't seem to be very far from us. So what are we waiting for? Let's go now, otherwise we will really return with nothing. I don't want to be scolded by the prince."

"This planet is in trouble." Hess tapped the screen, and a multi-dimensional space instantly appeared on it.

The planet was magnified dozens of times, and the 'nebula' surrounding it finally appeared clearly in front of them.

"This planet is called Planet R. Due to its magnetic field, it is shrouded in particle storms all year round. Humans have tried to attack this planet more than once, but were forced back by the particle storms every time."

The technicians who had known some information about Planet R for a long time remembered it without looking at the materials.

"It's just a particle storm, there's nothing to be afraid of." Ken narrowed his eyes, revealing a trace of greed. "This planet R is so big, it looks like a pure energy star. The energy star inside can reach at least 70% to 80%, which is rare in the high-dimensional universe."

"No." The technician shook his head regretfully. "If we could target it, we would have chosen Planet R a long time ago."

"Is it because of the Zerg?" Hess, who was staring at the screen, suddenly said.

"According to the intelligence we received earlier, the Zerg Queen should be based near Planet R. In addition to this energy planet, there are several other planets nearby. They are very close. Once our spacecraft enters, it will be like entering a Zerg encirclement."

"Humans have allowed the Zerg to reproduce for fifty years. We don't even know how far the Zerg Queen has evolved. Apart from this, the number of Zerg alone may have exceeded one hundred billion."

As soon as the technician finished speaking, the aliens in the spacecraft fell silent.

Zerg numbers exceeding 100 billion have never appeared in the higher-dimensional universe.

At their peak, their population reached tens of billions. The aliens would no longer allow them to continue to reproduce, and a war with the Zerg would break out almost every two or three years.

"How much energy is left on our spacecraft?" Hess suddenly asked.

The technician became nervous upon hearing this. "You don't want to go there, do you? There should be a Zerg queen there. If the queen has absorbed the energy of Planet R, we will be no match for her. Even the prince will..."

He didn't dare say the following words. The prince was very powerful, but still a little inferior to the evolved Zerg Queen.

"I suspect that the Zerg Queen has not yet absorbed the energy of Planet R, so we may have a chance." Hess said and turned to leave.

Seeing that he seemed to be determined to do what he wanted, the technician immediately said to Ken, "Ken, you should stop him."

Ken grinned, "Why stop me? I think I can give it a try."

After saying that, he also walked away with his head in his hands.

The technicians had no choice but to look for other crew members who could speak their mind, but it turned out that perhaps because they had been with the prince for too long, they had no rivals and they all thought they could give him a challenge.

"What a bunch of idiots! If Planet R has 70% to 80% of its energy, how could the Queen give it up? If we really take away her energy, she will definitely fight us to the death."

As a result, this group of adventurous lunatics were unwilling to listen to him. He was not the supreme commander of the spaceship, so he could only stand there and fuss.

"Well, maybe things aren't that bad." At this time, the red-haired woman next to him smiled and patted his shoulder.

"You don't understand. The insects and ants from that energy planet suddenly left. I've always felt that there was something fishy going on. Maybe it has something to do with Planet R."

"Oh?" The red-haired woman suddenly became interested. "Could it be that someone has attacked Planet R before us?"

"I don't know." Seeing that she was eager to try, the technician was too lazy to talk to her anymore.

The Skeleton Spaceship finally followed Hess and his team's ideas and started heading towards Planet R.

The changes on Planet R in the particle storm are becoming more and more obvious.

Just as Gao Han guessed, Planet R is a pure energy star. More than 70% of the planet is energy, so the planet cannot grow out of will.

An energy star without planetary will can't give much feedback to Gao Han.

However, without the obstruction of the planet's will, it is not difficult to swallow the small world.

The outer particle storm shrank a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gao Chi's spaceship has returned to the space battleship, and everyone is nervously looking at Planet R on the screen.

According to real-time data feedback, the volume of Planet R has shrunk to only 0.9 times its original size.

It may not sound like a lot, but you have to know that Planet R is very large, 0.1 times larger than Planet Luoma.

Penetrating the obstruction of the particle storm, they even saw an incredible scene.

They knew that Planet R was extremely rich in energy, but they did not know how large the proportion of the energy reserves was until now.

The soil layer on the surface of the planet has been almost completely absorbed by the high cold. Now, except for the core, there is a large amount of energy left on the surface of the planet.

An entire planet is energy. They have never seen anything like this in their lives.

At this moment, a beeping sound suddenly came from the control room of the space battleship.

Everyone was shocked.

The space battleship was stolen, so if anyone contacts them, it can only be aliens.

"What's going on?" Confused Gao Chi immediately looked at Commander Zhang.

Commander Zhang's face showed a bit of solemnity. "It's not the aliens contacting us, but the space battleship discovered that there was an alien spaceship approaching nearby and detected the signal sent by the other party."

"Aliens are coming?" Gao Chi's expression immediately became very serious.

"It should be. It's a bit troublesome. I don't know which faction this spaceship belongs to. However, any alien spaceship that has the ability to come here should be quite powerful."

"How long will it take them to arrive?" Gao Chi asked with a frown.

"About three and a half hours."

"We must inform Mr. Gao and the others of this news first."

"How can we notify them? They are now on Planet R. There is a particle storm outside, which disrupts the transmission of all information. We can't tell them even if we want to."

Gao Chi thought for a moment, "I remember that the alien spaceships can be invisible. Why don't we give it a try? It's best not to spread the news that we stole an alien spaceship. Maybe we can launch a surprise attack later."

"Let me try."
