Chapter 104 Pesticides



As mentioned before, the cockroach clan's technology is actually not very strong. The only thing they can rely on to survive is their strong reproductive ability and physical fitness.

During the invasion of Planet 2, the cockroach people achieved quite good results at the beginning.

But when the Luofan people survived the initial panic period, began to study the weaknesses of the cockroaches, and organized people to resist, the two sides immediately fell into a stalemate.

"So you finally drove the invaders out?"

"No."

Liu Shasha looked a little lost.

"Although we have urgently developed military industry in the rear, infrastructure cannot be built overnight."

"For quite a while, we could only use simple smoothbore weapons and various traps to fight the enemy. Everyone retreated to the other side of the river and barely established a defense line relying on the natural barrier."

"The situation did not improve until the second year of the war, and the turning point that ultimately determined the outcome came in the summer of the following year."

"Have you made a breakthrough in your military industry?"

Liu Shasha didn't answer, she just stared at Bai Yi.

The latter felt a little frightened by her gaze.

"Go on, why are you glaring at me?"

Liu Shasha sighed.

"It's because of you."

"Me? What did I do?"

"You saved us."

"I don't understand you."

Bai Yi is now completely confused.

If I had to say it, I could barely be considered to have saved them in the C11 galaxy at the Pass, but that didn't seem to have anything to do with the subsequent story developments.

"Thanks to you."

Liu Shasha threw the empty drink bottle into the trash can and stretched herself.

"Some people in the Galactic Alliance thought you were special, so they came to me. I can't explain the details, but as the first person to come into direct contact with you, they thought I might be of some use."

"And then he saved us."

Liu Shasha briefly described the situation at that time.

Basically speaking, when the war between two civilizations was in full swing, the administrator of the civilization protection zone suddenly came in and interfered.

They sprayed an insecticide into the atmosphere of Planet 2. This insecticide can be absorbed through the skin, and only a very small amount is needed to kill the cockroach people.

But this death does not occur immediately, but begins several hours after the contact occurs. At this time, the cockroach man usually has completed his outdoor work and returned to his nest.

By this time, the drug had taken effect and the cockroach people who went out began to die in large numbers.

This brings us to a characteristic of cockroaches: they eat the remains of their dead companions and integrate the antibodies in the remains into their own immune cells.

This allows the surviving cockroaches to gain resistance to the lethal substance.

This is also the reason why the same type of medicine will become ineffective after being used several times when exterminating cockroaches in the kitchen.

However, the Galactic Alliance will not use ordinary drugs. The toxic substances spread out are actually a kind of bacteriophage that has undergone targeted genetic modification.

These phages pose little harm to other organisms, but once absorbed by cockroaches, they begin to multiply and destroy cells directly in their bodies.

The immunity that the cockroach species prides itself on is useless against these bacteriophages.

The cockroaches lurking in the land of the Luofan people began to die in large numbers, and even the eggs they carried with them could not escape.

After the war, these phages remained in the air for a long time before they gradually settled in the soil and became dormant.

In a dormant state, these tiny biorobots can remain active for 5 to 10 years, essentially eliminating the possibility of cockroach-man making a comeback.

"Wait a minute."

Bai Yi raised one hand and made a stopping gesture.

"You mean you've been fighting for two years, and the ranger of the indigenous protected area just came to mediate?"

"yes."

"That's unlikely."

Bai Yi recalled the information in his mind. In his memory, the Indigenous Civilization Ecological Protection Area was an area under comprehensive surveillance by professional agencies.

Although the administrators will not interfere with civilization itself, they will try their best to avoid this kind of interplanetary species war.

Especially things like local natives bullying outsiders are definitely directly linked to the administrator's year-end performance appraisal.

There is no reason for this to happen unless someone is not interested in money.

Who can resist money?

"They say a certain amount of competition is conducive to the emergence and development of indigenous civilizations. They say this is the latest policy change, and our area happens to be an experimental zone."

Liu Shasha spread her hands.

"Whatever they say is what they say, and there's no way to refute it. Anyway, they finally came to me and said a lot of things, basically saying that they have a cyberpsychopath here and they need my company."

A finger pointed at himself.

"You're not referring to me, are you, this cyberpsychopath you're talking about?"

"Is there anyone more cyberpsychotic than you...oh no, a robot?"

Bai Yi thought of the weirdos in the group, especially the border guard named Ansonia, the Daughter of Darkness.

"I understand the logic, but why do I always feel like there's someone inside me?"

"How could that be?"
