Volume 3 Chapter 212: Conqueror Ambitious Lin Xu
Between the starry sky, the exit of the space jump channel unfolds.
In the blink of an eye, a spaceship over a hundred meters long rushed out. It was the Skylark.
As soon as it left the jump channel, various instruments on the Skylark began to operate rapidly.
Various information from the surrounding areas began to be fed back to the Skylark.
After confirming that the route was correct and there were no abnormalities around, the Skylark opened another space jump channel and continued to rush in.
Relying on this method of space jump, the Skylark continued to move in the starry sky. Before the report from the fortress commander arrived, the Skylark had already arrived in the heart of "humanity".
Normally, even if garrisons in remote areas can maintain contact with their home planet through hyperspace communications, communications will still be delayed for several days or even half a month.
In comparison, it would take the Skylark less than a day to cross this distance, so the Commander's report based on certain concerns was ultimately in vain.
And a few days of information delay is enough for many things to happen.
Just like at this moment, Lin Xu and others who have arrived at the outskirts of the "human" capital galaxy, stood in front of the porthole of the Skylark and saw the grand battle that spread across the entire capital galaxy.
"Isn't this their heartland? How come the Zerg have gotten here?" Nanzhu lay on the porthole, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Looking out through the porthole at this time, you can see that in the capital galaxy, countless densely packed civilian spacecraft of various types are fleeing the once prosperous capital galaxy at the fastest speed.
Many spaceships also collided violently during their escape, causing continuous explosions, but no one stopped, including the spaceships that were hit, all of them tried hard to continue escaping.
Because behind them was the endless swarm of Zerg that had already invaded the capital galaxy with unstoppable force and started killing people.
The escort fleet of the capital galaxy was directly destroyed as soon as the Zerg appeared.
This is the "human" hinterland far away from the border. Who could have thought that a swarm of insects would suddenly appear here?
Normally, even if a swarm of insects arrived here, they should have fought their way in from the border area. How could they suddenly appear near the capital like a magic trick?
Therefore, the escort fleet was completely unprepared, and coupled with the huge swarm of insects that came prepared, the "human" side basically didn't have time to organize even the most basic resistance, and everything was already too late.
"Support, we need support." General Phil was roaring on the few remaining warships.
"Your Excellency General, the nearest fleet is a hundred light years away. It will take at least half a year to get here. We have no support anymore." The staff officer reported in a trembling voice.
"I know, of course I know, but why, why would these bugs suddenly appear here? This is simply impossible." General Phil kept shaking his head. He really couldn't understand how the Zerg could get through the heavy defenses of "human beings" and suddenly appear here.
"Unless the Zerg have mastered the technology of space jump." A junior staff officer who was usually not taken seriously suddenly said.
"It's ridiculous! How could the Zerg master the technology of space jump? It's simply impossible." General Phil retorted subconsciously.
"General, after eliminating all impossible factors, we can only believe that the Zerg have really mastered the technology of space jump." Unexpectedly, the young staff officer insisted at this time.
The several staff officers next to him opened their mouths and wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
In such a life-and-death crisis, even they lost interest in attacking their colleagues.
"Space jump technology." General Phil muttered to himself, and with a bang, he slammed his fist on the table.
In fact, he had already thought of it.
Because it is the only possibility.
He just couldn't accept it.
At this moment, another staff officer slammed the half-open door and rushed in.
"General, please take a look at this."
Then, the holographic projection image appeared on the desktop.
"This is a picture taken by the surveillance system at the border of the capital planet that monitors the flow of freight. This is also the first place where the Zerg appeared near the capital planet."
As the staff officer was explaining, he saw on the screen that not far behind a long line of cargo ships waiting to enter the capital galaxy circle checkpoint, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the void of the universe. It appeared from nothing at an extremely fast speed, and spread from a small point to an extremely large area.
Then, a Zerg mothership with a hideous appearance sailed out from the hole.
At the same time, countless such voids continued to appear in the void of the universe, and Zerg motherships tens of thousands of meters in size sailed out of them.
"It's a space jump channel. I never thought that the first to successfully put space jump into use would be the Zerg." General Phil felt bitter in his mouth at this moment.
Everyone knows that "human beings" have been researching space jump technology, but unfortunately success seems to be a long way off. So although the public is paying attention to it, it is more like the 21st century humans on Earth paying attention to nuclear fusion power generation, and they are all paying attention with a spectator mentality.
Only Phil, as a general, knows many secrets of "humanity", such as the space jump technology that "humanity" has been researching and has recently made some breakthroughs.
This gave General Phil some visions. Once the space jump technology was completed, humans could gather the most superior forces at any time and any place to encircle and suppress the Zerg groups on various battlefields.
By then, it will be time for humanity to launch a counterattack.
Unfortunately, no one expected that the first to complete the space jump technology would be the Zerg.
This was also the reason why the commander of the fortress chose to report to his superiors immediately when he discovered that the Skylark was using what was suspected to be the legendary space jump technology.
If the key technical information for space jump can be purchased from this unknown race, it will be the key to reversing the situation for "human beings" at this time.
Unfortunately, it's all too late.
The ferocious Zerg warships easily pierced through the unsuspecting escort fleet and approached the capital galaxy.
The low-Earth orbit above the planets in the capital galaxy is filled with densely packed Zerg fleets.
A large number of Zerg transport ships dropped huge amounts of Zerg in the form of spores onto planets.
Then, spores landed on the surface of the planet, transformed into insects of various shapes, and rushed towards the "human" civilians with roars.
The bloody massacre began.
A small number of Planetary Defense Force fighter planes took off, but they were unable to stop the spread of the Zerg.
The small number of power armored warriors are simply unable to stop the spread of the Zerg.
There are obviously huge amounts of power armor in the warehouse, and obviously huge amounts of weapons are being produced on the production line every moment.
However, these weapons and equipment could not be worn by qualified soldiers at the moment to form combat effectiveness.
Only some factories producing automatic weapons directly opened the factory gates, drones quickly took off, and robots poured out of the factories directly.
Unfortunately, they were still unable to resist the Zerg fleet, which had the advantage and could bombard downwards from low-Earth orbit.
In this way, the entire capital galaxy was rapidly falling.
This is the economic center, political center and scientific research center of "humanity".
Once this place falls, all the "human" strongholds in the entire river system will be in a state of disarray.
By then, they will not be able to continue to hold on under the attack of the Zerg.
It can be said that at the moment when the capital galaxy of "humanity" was breached, the war between "humanity" and the Zerg, which has lasted for five thousand years, is about to come to an end.
Everything will end with the victory of the Zerg.
And "human beings" will eventually become another stillborn civilization in the universe.
If Lin Xu and others had not come.
"I leave it to you." Lin Xu said to Arisa who was already eager to try.
"Don't worry about me, I'll do it." Arisa assured, patting her chest.
Then the entire figure disappeared into the Skylark.
When she reappeared, she had already come out of the porthole, slid her hand, and the portable space opened.
In an instant, a huge warship as big as a planet emerged from the portable space.
This is the Fifth Fleet under Arisa's command.
Even when faced with the Zerg's heavy troops attacking the "human" capital galaxy, Arisa only used one fleet.
This is not her arrogance, but comes from sufficient confidence.
As soon as the huge warship, which was as big as a planet, appeared, it attracted the attention of all the nearby spaceships that were originally fleeing.
"Oh my god, what is that?"
"Could it be that the fleet has returned to support? The capital galaxy is saved?" someone was very excited.
"Wake up! There's no way the fleet could come back so quickly to help."
"What is this?"
No matter how much they argued, some of the spaceships that were originally preparing to escape chose to stop temporarily after seeing Arisa's planetary battleship.
Afterwards, the planetary battleship quickly split into countless battleships of about tens of thousands of meters in space.
Arisa also boarded one of the battleships as her temporary flagship.
In this way, the Fifth Fleet headed towards the capital galaxy that had been gradually occupied by the Zerg.
First of all, it is the most important capital planet, because it contains all the most important data and information of the entire "human race".
A lot of things can be analyzed from these data. Perhaps some of them also record the origins of these so-called "humans" that Lin Xu wants to know.
So, Arisa naturally had to snatch the things back before they were destroyed by those bugs.
Boom, boom, boom, cannons and huge ships shuttled back and forth in the starry sky, and the light from the muzzles shone in the galaxy.
This is the romance of the Galaxy Age. Countless ferocious Zerg warships were destroyed one after another under the encirclement and suppression of the Fifth Fleet.
As for the warships of the Fifth Fleet, although some of them were destroyed under the siege of Zerg warships, the number contrast between the two sides was very disparate.
It can be said to be a one-sided massacre.
"General, is that our reinforcement?" The young staff officer's face was covered in blood from bruises and cuts. He was excited as he watched the images of the starry sky on the monitor.
"No, we don't have such reinforcements." General Phil commanded the broken warship and finally escaped the encirclement of the Zerg warships. Looking at the one-sided massacre of the Zerg warships in front of him, his face was full of confusion in addition to excitement.
Because he didn't recognize these strange warships at all, and even among his friendly forces there were no warships of this shape.
But these are not important. No matter who you are, as long as we fight bugs together, you are my friend.
"Send a signal to the enemy fleet and ask for asylum." General Phil gave the order immediately. Their warships could not hold on any longer.
Unfortunately, the signal sent fell on deaf ears and there was no response at all.
For a moment, General Phil was even a little doubtful. Are these friendly forces?
Until the other party seemed to be annoyed by the continuous questioning from this side, and directly sent a message: "Hide behind, don't block the road."
General Phil finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the other party's tone was not very nice, at this moment, I won't care about it.
He quickly ordered the warships to hide behind this fleet.
Watch as the fleet annihilates the Zerg with great ease, until it begins to airdrop into various planets and clear out the Zerg on them.
All the staff officers, including General Phil, finally had smiles on their faces.
Until a junior staff officer spoke again at an inappropriate time.
"General, this strange fleet has occupied the capital system. Will it return it to us?"
Suddenly, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared.
It was like being hit by a smile-transferring technique.
It was at this moment that the fleet actually took the initiative to send a message to the warship where General Phil was.
There is only a short sentence above.
"Our leader wants to see your general."
Suddenly, the expression on General Phil's face became more solemn.
He suddenly realized something. Could it be that he was trying to persuade him to surrender?
Does this strange fleet want to take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the entire capital galaxy?
What should I do? Help him or reject him? Will I be killed if I reject him?
General Phil had already started struggling before he even saw Lin Xu.
Not long after, the Skylark arrived near the battleship. General Phil bid farewell to his guards and boarded the Skylark alone.
In fact, he didn't want to come by himself, but that was the other party's request, and the situation was stronger than the person.
Then, he saw a silver-haired girl walking towards him along the corridor of the small spaceship. When she noticed that he had spotted her, she stopped, motioned for him to follow, and walked forward.
General Phil hesitated for a moment and then followed.
Soon, I saw Lin Xu and others in the cockpit.
However, General Phil did not know at this time that Lin Xu was the person he imagined wanting to conquer the capital galaxy.
He only thought that this small spaceship was going to transport him to his destination, and did not regard it as the spaceship where the other party's leader was.
After all, the opponent’s fleet is so huge, the leader must be on the flagship, how could he be on this small spaceship?
So when he saw Lin Xu and others in the cockpit, he was a little surprised. Shouldn't they take him to the lounge and wait for the arrival of the flagship where the other party's leader was?
What was the purpose of coming here? Could it be that the junior officer on this transporter wanted to see him?
Well, although he is just a small officer, the situation is stronger than him now. Even if he is a general, he can only muster up his courage to deal with it.
"General Phil, right? Hello, you can just call me Lin Xu." Lin Xu nodded politely.
This made Phil feel relieved. It was good that the other party was not overbearing. After all, the other party was just a small officer. If he was arrogant, it would be difficult for him to deal with it.
If I surrender, it would make me look like a spineless general, and I would be too humble even in front of a small character.
But if you don't give in, after all, you are under someone's roof.
Not bad, not bad.
"Hello Mr. Lin Xu, what can I do for you?" General Phil responded with a perfect expression that he had practiced countless times in social occasions.
"Actually, I have something to ask you. I want to know where you come from." Lin Xu was very satisfied with General Phil's neither humble nor arrogant attitude.
"Where do we come from?" General Phil seemed a little confused by Lin Xu's question.
Originally, he thought that this young officer wanted to chat with him. Well, this could be considered a chat, but how could there be such a chat? Was this a discussion of some philosophical issues?
"Or let me put it more clearly. Are you really human?" Lin Xu decided not to hide it anymore and asked bluntly.
"Of course we are human beings. If we are not human beings, what else could we be?" General Phil stared at Lin Xu as if he was looking at a lunatic.
"But as far as I know, these literary and artistic works were obviously created by another race, also called human beings, but you say they were created by you." Lin Xu said, waving his hand to play some flashing film and television images and some music clips.
He made his meaning clear.
In fact, it is not surprising that there are races with the same name in the universe. After all, you cannot name your own race human and not allow another race billions of light years away to name your own race.
But having the same name and surname is not surprising, but the warships built completely in imitation of the fairy ships, as well as these literary and artistic works, can no longer be a coincidence.
"Another race called human beings? Ridiculous, this was clearly created by our ancestors." General Phil immediately refuted loudly.
But the way he looked seemed to have exposed something, which made Lin Xu narrow his eyes.
It's like if someone suddenly told you that Qin Shi Huang was not actually Chinese but Korean, you would just find it ridiculous.
On the contrary, such an excited expression seems more like his inner thoughts have been touched upon.
"It seems you know something." Lin Xu laughed.
Those who can serve as generals in the center are obviously the absolute top leaders of this civilization.
Things that the commander aboard the remote galaxy fortress didn't know, or were equally kept in the dark about.
The top leaders of the center are likely to know the truth.
Just like the Korean civilians may be brainwashed, but the top leaders definitely know the truth.
