Chapter 142 Isn't this a coincidence?
It's true, the more you worry about something, the more it will happen.
The first emergency was related to Yang Ming himself.
There was a leak in the Sherman Empire's special forces. A piece of intelligence was directly thrown onto the black market intelligence trading network and has been known by intelligence agencies of various countries.
This intelligence mentioned "Kigrove", "Valkyrie Project", "Valkyrie", "Ancient God Gene and Human Gene Fusion Transformation Experiment", and "Artificial Ancient God".
I don't know who made the speculation, but the intelligence also mentioned:
[Now there is sufficient reason to suspect that the Sherman Empire has used the genes of the Valkyrie, an ancient god life form that can stabilize the human form, to conduct experiments to strengthen the warrior transformation. ]
This made Yang Ming and Lu break out in cold sweats.
Of course, Lu didn't sweat a bit, at most he just leaked a little of the main brain's liquid metal coolant.
Regarding this matter, Yang Ming could only watch from afar.
What else can he do?
There were big problems with the internal management of the Sherman Empire. The special forces that absorbed the remaining research team of Ji Ge had caused such a big mistake. It was impossible for him to enforce discipline in the special forces of the Sherman Empire.
The second emergency concerns the safety of the Luofeng Empire.
According to the intelligence intercepted by the law, the New Federal CIA launched an action plan called "Gray Moth". The participants and specific mission contents are unknown.
The only thing that is certain is that a dozen CIA agents are driving a well-concealed new federal exploration ship to conduct a simple survey of an uninhabited planet within the Luofeng Empire.
If Yang Ming had not visited the New Federation, he would have thought that the New Federation was taking action to subvert the Luofeng royal family again.
Now, Yang Ming knew it.
These rubbish federal guys will soon be burying bugs in Luofeng territory!
According to Lu's inference, after they bury the bugs in Luofeng territory, they will not wait too long before urging the bugs to hatch in order to verify what effect their tactics can achieve.
Because Hera didn't want to get involved in anything other than scientific research, Yang Ming hurriedly returned to the Feinan, connected to Dabic via video, and began to discuss emergency response measures.
——Dabichi is a mechanical thinking entity that walked out of the Dark Star. He knows Yang Ming’s top secrets and can naturally participate in the discussion of this matter.
Compared with it, Gutonmaha has not yet entered Yang Ming's core confidential circle.
Ritsu and 026 each sat on the pressure plate of the "turned-over" tracked robot, and Dabichi's projection appeared opposite them.
At this moment, Dabichi, who was connected directly to the Feinan in his original appearance, was speaking slowly:
“The difficulty now is that although Luofeng only has eleven administrative stars and five main administrative stars, the airspace involved in Luofeng is too large, and there are almost uninhabited planets everywhere.
"Based on our current strength, it would be difficult to capture the enemy's transport ship that is delivering the bugs, unless we are lucky.
“The cost of a full-domain defense system is so huge and it would take so long to deploy that it is not realistic to consider it now.”
Yang Ming leaned back in his chair, his brain constantly thinking.
In terms of his personal combat capability, he is still somewhat confident.
But when it comes to the national strength of the Luofeng Empire...it’s a bit hard to put into words.
"The federals are determined to destroy us."
Yang Ming raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "Lv, is it possible to get more information?"
Law explained:
“Boss, I just accidentally captured some confidential intelligence. This is based on the fact that I marked some agent targets when the New Federation agents repeatedly infiltrated the Luofeng Empire.
“With the continuous transfer of new federal agents, my ability to monitor them is gradually declining. When they leave these small countries near the Luofeng Empire, it will become very difficult to monitor the networks near them.
"According to my speculation, the egg delivery plan should be carried out by a very small number of senior CIA agents, and many of them will have their memories wiped.
“This is a long-term plan that concerns the destiny of the new federation.”
026 asked quietly: "What if we mobilize the civilian ships of Luofeng to monitor the star regions together?"
"That would expose our existence. Luo Feng shouldn't know that there is such a thing as 'people raising bugs'," Lu reminded, "We can always maintain our advantage when facing the new federal agents because we are in the dark, while they are in the light and more arrogant."
Dabic said, "Boss, maybe we can make a simplified global defense system."
Yang Ming immediately became interested: "Simplified defense system? How do you say that?"
"Based on the information given by the goddess, we can actually make a few simple inferences."
Dabic spoke slowly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"First, assuming that the other party is a transport ship transporting the queen mother worm and some worm eggs, there must be no trace of the New Federation on this transport ship.
"Secondly, the Zerg feed on radiation. To ensure their normal development, they must either stay close to the core of a planet, enter the interior of a rocky or gaseous planet, or stay close to a star.
“The environment inside a gaseous planet is too harsh. It is difficult for first-order bugs to survive. To drill into a rocky planet, they must carry large machinery similar to the planetary transformation system.
"If it is close to a star, for example, setting up a shallow base on the surface of the first planet outside the star is the cheapest and easiest way to achieve it."
Yang Ming asked: "You mean, we should first select the planets and then conduct simple control?"
"Yes, Father."
Dabich immediately said:
"Since the other party is going to launch an attack, they will definitely choose an uninhabited planet that can threaten the Luofeng Administrative Star. We can use the star systems where the administrative stars are located as key control areas, and the star systems that are closer as general control areas.
"Since the global defense system is rather troublesome, we can use simple sensors and detection devices to monitor it."
Lu reminded: "To monitor a planet, at least five monitoring satellites are needed. Roughly speaking, we need at least 600 monitoring satellites. Moreover, if the other party discovers these satellites, they will definitely adjust their landing point."
Yang Ming turned the chair half a circle, constantly calculating in his mind.
It is one thing to build 600 surveillance satellites at a huge cost, but it is another to produce them in a short time.
Even if purchasing is done through international channels, it will take at least half a year.
The problem now is that Luo Feng's foundation is too weak and the New Federation is too hasty in its attack.
The New Federation might bury the bugs in a few days, and the only thing we can do now is to send warships to patrol everywhere.
Lu suddenly asked: "Boss, if we use Miss Hera's sensing ability , can we sense the presence of insects at close range?"
"She is just passively receiving information now."
Yang Ming shook his head slightly, a faint light flashing in his eyes, and said, "Lu, do you mean to let her know my public identity?"
"Yes, boss," Lu said, "If the boss doesn't allow it, she will have no chance to leave. Let her know that there will be no risk."
Yang Ming hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded calmly: "Okay, go and arrange it, and see if she has any ideas."
Lu's projection shook slightly and immediately disappeared.
"No matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death," Yang Ming said, "026 drafted a notice to have the third, fourth, and sixth fleets send out formations to patrol near Luofeng's eleven administrative stars."
"Yes, boss!"
026 responded meticulously, then lowered his head and began to work.
Dabic said, "Father, I will continue to look up the data on how the Milky Way civilizations have fought against the bugs. This may give us some inspiration."
"Thank you for your hard work," Yang Ming smiled with narrowed eyes.
When Dabiqi's figure disappeared, Yang Ming sighed softly.
026 asked quietly: "Boss, what's wrong?"
"Too weak," Yang Ming said, "After a trip to the New Federation, I discovered that Luofeng is backward in all aspects. If it weren't for the ships eliminated by the Sherman Empire, Luofeng wouldn't be able to have a decent fleet."
"But the boss."
026 thought carefully and muttered quietly:
"No matter how weak Luofeng is, it is still a country with its own people and culture. The invasion of the New Federation is unjust and is doomed to fail."
Yang Ming could only smile and say nothing.
"By the way, 026, your hometown is on the fifth administrative planet?"
"Yes, boss."
026 said worriedly, "The rebels there are still holding out. Many people's lives have been affected. Several cities have fallen into chaos. I heard that all kinds of crimes are committed every day. The rebels are at their wits' end and have gone a little crazy."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "After I finish dealing with the Zerg, I will have the Sixth Fleet quell the rebels. I have previously planned an army expansion plan and want to use the Fifth Administrative Planet as a training ground."
"Boss, just follow the plan," 026 said with a little panic, "I'm just... just complaining a few words."
Yang Ming asked: "Have you been practicing driving a mecha recently?"
"Yes!" 026 said seriously, "I want to join the battle as soon as possible. Sister Lu is helping me modify two sets of mechas that can be directly connected to my back."
Yang Ming almost laughed out loud.
With her weak character, killing enemies on the battlefield... well, it can indeed increase the enemy's morale to charge forward.
…
Falling wind?
Zerg?
Palace cannon?
Hera lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, with this information constantly running through her mind.
Originally, the figure of secret agent Alex had gradually become blurred in her mind, but at this moment it began to become clear again.
Hera, who suddenly learned of this information, thought about it carefully and found that the fog surrounding Yang Ming was not dissipated, but became even thicker.
He's from the Sherman Empire?
Is there any ulterior motive for such a powerful cyborg to be hiding in a poor and backward vassal state like the Luofeng Empire?
Or does he simply want to protect the country from being invaded by the New Federation?
Hera tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up and walked to the closet, grabbed a long dress, put it on herself, and sat back at the desk.
Turning on the projection screen and searching the database, information about the Zerg popped up one by one.
The mysterious assistant who gave her the information also gave her a brief reminder.
If she could connect to the Zerg's information network, it would mean that she could possibly find the location of the queen, just like a normal Zerg individual.
The information on the projection screen flashed quickly, and Hera kept browsing it.
The historical data of the current human civilization in the Milky Way fighting against the Second Cataclysm can be traced back to the rise of the Sherman Empire tens of thousands of years ago.
Insect swarm activities have both large and small periodicities.
Small periodicity means that every three to seven hundred years, the Zerg will enter an active period lasting a hundred years.
The large periodicity means that the Zerg will have a period of intensive outbreaks every ten thousand years, and now it happens to be in a non-intensive outbreak period.
The possibility of communicating directly with the Swarm...
Hera kept thinking and making some notes from time to time.
Before she knew it, she fell asleep at the table, her little face full of fatigue.
Yang Ming walked in the corridor.
Yang Ming waited for a while and asked Lu to control the robot to bring sleeping pills and sprayed them on Hera's nose. Then he carried her horizontally and carefully put her back to bed.
She is so light.
Yang Ming covered her with a blanket and went to the sofa not far away.
…
“Let’s start the discussion now.”
On a flat transport ship floating in the interstellar wilderness, seven middle-aged men and women gathered in a corner of the bridge, most of them with relaxed expressions.
The entire star map of the Luofeng Empire appeared on the sand table they were surrounded by, and more than a dozen planets were specially marked.
"After our preliminary survey, these planets are suitable as burial sites."
"We must complete the mission as quickly as possible, throw these damn things onto the target planet, and then leave as quickly as possible, the farther away the better."
"Don't be nervous. We have already wiped out all elements related to us. This is a semi-abandoned transport ship from a small country. It was just accidentally captured by bugs floating in the starry sky."
"Don't mention that word!"
One woman seemed a little agitated, and the seven of them were silent for a while.
Soon, someone else spoke up: "Just pick a place. Luo Feng won't be prepared."
"Well, there will be no record of this operation, and we will also perform a memory-clearing operation," one person said, "We will carry out this as a normal mission. This is for the happiness of more people."
"How about this planet? It is located in a star system near the planet Elando. If a natural disaster breaks out, it can directly threaten the planet Elando."
"There are warships patrolling here from time to time, so it's easy to detect any anomalies. I heard from my superiors that it only takes a few months for these ghosts to quickly develop into a group capable of crossing star systems."
"We can't be too far away from their administrative planet. Don't forget, if these things have the ability to jump across space, then their population must be very large."
"Here?"
Several people kept giving their favorite spots to bury the bugs, but they were rejected one by one.
"How about this planet? It's an abandoned resource planet located near the fifth administrative planet. According to our investigation, there has never been any sign of a warship visiting here. It's far from the trade route and has no value."
“It’s nice here.”
“It’s right in the gravitational instability zone.”
"It's really good. Zoom in and take a look at the terrain... There are many river valleys here, and the atmosphere is relatively thick. It's a good location. The key point is that this place is relatively hidden and not too far from the administrative planet."
"The equipment on this ship will have no problem sending the queen to the mantle layer."
"That's it, plan the route and prepare for the jump!"
then.
Seven galactic hours later.
026. Lu's projection and Dabic's projection stood in front of the Feinan's main projection screen. They looked at the radar data sent from the Dark Star Base and the large transport ship that appeared on the edge of the radar map, and tilted their heads at the same time.
The great Zerg Queen successfully arrived at the outskirts of the Dark Star with her shipload of Zerg eggs.
