Volume 3 Chapter 238 The Days I Was Captured by Humans
Returning to Suge Star, Lin Xu stood on the top floor of the high tower above the giant port on the back of the planet. The port was filled with warships, being repaired and maintained by countless robots.
However, these warships were not the focus of Lin Xu's attention. His attention was focused on a more special area in the port.
There were many petri dishes there, and among them were strange-looking warships that looked a bit like biological beings. They were docked in the middle of the dishes, constantly inhaling and exhaling nutrient solution as if they were breathing, repairing the wounds on their own warships.
"Is this a spaceship made with biotechnology? It looks quite different from the Zerg warships." Nanzhu leaned on the window and watched carefully.
However, apart from the fact that they both use biotechnology, there is no apparent similarity between the two.
"It seems that the gap is huge. There are many civilizations in the universe that develop biotechnology. Naturally, we cannot simply determine that it is related to Zerg technology based on biotechnology. However, according to data from Chenxing, many technologies used on these warships are upgraded versions of Zerg technology." Lin Xu was also moved as he looked at the biotechnology that was completely different from the Zerg technology.
It is like two civilizations that mainly develop mechanical technology. Although the technologies between them may have the same results, the technological contexts between them are often very different.
However, the warships made of biotechnology that Lin Xu saw in front of him were in line with the Zerg's warship technology. He was afraid that he could not deny it even if he wanted to.
Even the technology of these warships is more advanced than that of the Zerg.
"The technological level of these warships is more advanced than that of the Zerg. Does it mean that the Zerg's technology was obtained from the civilization that built these warships?" Lu Yao guessed.
"I was wondering how those Zerg had such advanced technology, it turns out they relied on external aid!" Nanzhu suddenly realized.
"According to the captured Pengpai stationmaster, these warships were manufactured by the Pengpai people in cooperation with the Kramar people, using the technology obtained from the Kramar people. The stationmaster is not clear about the specific content of the cooperation, but these technologies should only be the prerequisites for the cooperation, not the purpose of the cooperation." Mu Xiyue explained using the intelligence she had just obtained from interrogation.
"The Kramar people? Is their civilization good at biotechnology?" Lu Yao asked curiously.
"Not only are they good at it, the Kramar people are one of the few civilizations that have developed to the god-level with biotechnology as the main focus." Mu Xiyue explained.
"A god-level civilization in biotechnology? So, it is really possible that the Zerg got its technology from the Kramar people? But, was it handed over to the Zerg by the Kramar people themselves, or was it passed on to the Zerg by the Apocalypse people? If it was handed over to the Zerg by the Kramar people themselves, what role did they play in the Zerg's experiments? If it was passed on by the Apocalypse people, what is the relationship between the Kramar people and the Apocalypse people?" Lin Xu raised a series of questions, but no one could answer them.
"Based on our reading of the Zerg King's consciousness and our collection of various records of the Zerg, there is no information related to the Kramar people at all. I think the experiment may have nothing to do with the Kramar people. It's just that the Apocalypse tribe obtained some technology from the Kramar people and then passed it on to the Zerg." Lu Yao thought for a while and said.
"Not necessarily. Maybe only the Apocalypse tribe is responsible for coming forward, while the Kramar people are hiding behind the scenes?" Nanzhu said after thinking for a while.
"This is impossible. With the pride of the Apocalypse Clan, it is impossible for them to become the white glove of a certain civilization. Even if it is a god-level civilization, it is nothing in the eyes of the Apocalypse Clan." Arisa on the side denied it from the perspective of the Apocalypse Clan.
"Isn't it that the Apocalypse Clan is the white glove, but the two are cooperating? The Kramar people provide the technology, and the Apocalypse Clan is responsible for selecting the selected race?" Lu Yao added.
"This." Arisa couldn't be sure for a moment.
"What should we do? Continue looking for human remains, or go to the Kramar people first?" Nanzhu looked at Lin Xu.
The others also looked at Lin Xu, waiting for his decision.
Because only Lin Xu can make this decision.
"It seems that we need to go to the Kramar people first." Lin Xu said with a sigh.
Then, a space channel spanning half the planet opened in the sky, and a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates poured out from Lin Xu's personal space and rushed towards the ground.
While the captured Pengpai people on the back of Suge Star were stunned, they emptied the Pengpai people's stronghold as quickly as possible.
Everything was moved away, including various instruments and facilities on the ground and warships.
Of course, the most important things are those biological warships, the culture dishes of the biological warships, and the nutrient solution inside.
Chenxing needs to conduct a more detailed inspection of these biological warships.
Until there was only a wasteland left on the back of Suge Star, so desolate that even horses could run on it.
However, the captured Pengpai people turned a blind eye to this. They now had only one idea.
Humans, yes humans.
"Stationmaster, we must have seen it wrong. Could those be the legendary autonomous mechanical aggregates?"
"If the records in the textbook are correct, that should be it."
"So, it's human?"
"It seems, yes." The stationmaster looked sad.
"Webmaster, this is good news." One of his subordinates laughed happily.
"How can this be a good thing?" The stationmaster felt that this subordinate was mocking him. He surrendered and became a prisoner. His future was ruined. How could this be considered a good thing? I took such good care of you.
"Of course it's a good thing. If we were captured by another civilization, we would be doomed in the future. But now we are captured by humans. They are humans. Isn't it normal to be captured by humans? Even if it is brought to a military court, being captured by another civilization and being captured by humans are two different things!" Seeing that he still didn't understand, his subordinates hurriedly explained.
The webmaster was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.
"Yes, I was captured by humans! Isn't it normal to lose a fight against humans? It would be abnormal if I won. You're right, you're right." The webmaster finally felt his mood brighten up.
Looking at my subordinates, I feel that all my care for you is worth it.
"Besides, we can write a book later, called the days when I was captured by humans. It will definitely be a big seller. By then we will make a lot of money, and who will bother to go out on field work?" The subordinate reminded again.
"Yes, yes, yes, you are smart." The webmaster only felt that a golden avenue had opened up to him, and the money on the ground was waiting for him to pick up.
Of course, the premise is that they can still be released.
Soon, after Lin Xu and his companions emptied everything out, they released them.
Then he summoned the Skylark, and several people boarded the Skylark, closed their personal space and left.
All I can say is that plans cannot keep up with changes. I had originally planned to follow the Gherrimans to find the human remains, but now the plan has been disrupted by a new situation that has suddenly emerged.
But it doesn’t matter. The human relics won’t escape anyway, it’s just a matter of sooner or later.
As for the captured Pengpai people, they were given some daily necessities each and then thrown onto the back of the desolate Suge Star.
The webmaster and other Pengpai people who were released were ecstatic at first.
I didn't expect to be released so easily.
But they soon discovered that humans only left them basic living supplies, but did not give them any communication equipment.
In other words, if they want to contact the outside world, they must rely on their own two legs and travel half the planet to the other side of the planet before they can find communication facilities that can contact the Pengpai headquarters.
During this period, you have to rely on the supplies you have to survive in the wilderness.
Nanzhu on the Skylark even felt a little regretful that she could not watch the wonderful scenes of their survival in the wilderness every day.
"Stationmaster, can we, can we walk across half the planet alive?"
"It's only half a planet! It's not that far."
"Half a planet is not far? Are you used to taking a spaceship? It only takes a short time to get there by spaceship, but it will take you several years to walk."
"A few years? No way?"
The people on the Skylark were unaware of all this.
In this way, the Skylark made space jumps all the way and, according to the coordinates provided by Yufei, headed for the headquarters of the Kramar people in the core area of the Eye of the Star.
The location of the headquarters of a god-level civilization like the Kramar people is no secret, but it is not known to just anyone.
However, for a professional intelligence officer like Yufei , the location of the Kramar people is no longer a secret.
"Are you really human?" Youfei couldn't help but ask when providing the coordinates.
"Yes." Lin Xu nodded, acting nonchalant.
Yufei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Even though she had heard about it from the elves who were guarding her, and later saw the autonomous mechanical aggregates all over the sky, Yufei still found it hard to believe it.
The legendary human beings have appeared again. It is unknown whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the numerous god-level civilizations in the five major river galaxies.
Especially for the Gelriman people, her civilization, when she thought about how their civilization was trying every means to seize human relics, Yufei felt that the future of her entire race seemed very bleak.
The Skylark continued to leap in the starry sky. As it got closer to the core area of the Eye of the Starry Sky, the various information flowing back and forth in the starry sky became more and more noisy.
The various communication facilities in the cockpit of the Skylark can continuously receive signals from across the galaxy.
During this period, some information also aroused the interest of Lin Xu and others.
"Eternal Protoss infiltration attack? Have the Gelriman already launched it? How could it be so fast?" Nanzhu said while looking at Yufei who was standing next to him and had not been sent away.
"I don't know. According to the original plan, it shouldn't be so fast." Youfei was also confused.
"Did some kind of accident happen that caused the plan to be advanced?" Lu Yao frowned and thought.
However, they didn't know that it was because of the chain reaction caused by their surprise attack on Suge Star that the Gerlimans' plan was advanced.
"Many god-level civilizations have mobilized their fleets to encircle and suppress the Eternal Protoss. It seems that your Gelriman plan has succeeded. The next step is to take advantage of the diversion of the god-level civilizations and seize the human relics." Nanzhu nodded at Youfei with an appreciative look.
However, facing Nanzhu's praise, Youfei felt that it was an irony. The only thing she could do was to remain silent.
"There's a news report saying that the Fairy Ship people have assembled hundreds of Fairy Ships in the headquarters galaxy. I wonder what they want to do? There are also comments speculating that they want to attack the Gelriman people? Do the Fairy Ship people have a very bad relationship with you Gelriman people?" Nanzhu looked at Youfei again.
"Yes, we have big differences in our ideas." Yufei hesitated and could only say this.
"Differences in concepts? What kind of differences in concepts?" Nanzhu persisted.
"The Xianjian people believe that the free development of weak civilizations should not be interfered with. We believe that only the fittest will survive in the survival of the fittest." Yufei said after a moment of silence.
"I see." Nanzhu nodded without commenting.
But after thinking about it, You Fei couldn't help but look at Lin Xu and speak.
She now knows that Lin Xu is the only human here, and the rest are human’s followers.
"Some people say that the Fairy Ships are following human ideals, but others say that the Fairy Ships are just using the name of humans. In fact, humans don't have such ideals. What exactly are human ideals?"
"Civilization should have the freedom to develop, no matter whether it is weak or strong." Lin Xu looked at her and finally said.
The Skylark continued to jump, and as it got closer to the core area of the Eye of the Starry Sky, it encountered more and more different types of spaceships.
Finally, when they jumped out of a space channel, they encountered a huge fleet that had just jumped out of another space channel.
It was a huge fleet consisting of more than ten planetary battleships. After crossing the space jump channel, the planetary battleships docked in the universe, maintaining a subtle distance from each other to avoid mutual gravitational attraction that would cause the planetary battleships to collide.
Then, powerful energy was projected from more than a dozen planetary battleships toward somewhere ahead.
Suddenly, in the area where energy was concentrated, a space jump channel began to open slowly.
According to Chen Xing's calculations, it would take several days for the space jump channel to be fully opened.
Afterwards, these planetary battleships will cross the space jump channel and arrive a thousand light years away.
It can be said that this method of transition is relatively backward compared to the method of transition that Lin Xu currently masters, but being able to perform space transition is itself an extraordinary thing.
It can be said that space leap itself is a sign of god-level civilization.
It is precisely because of the mastery of the ability of space jump that the entire universe has become a hunting ground for god-level civilization.
Naturally, Lin Xu would not continue to watch here for a few days. When more than a dozen planetary battleships began to open the space channel, the Skylark had already entered the space channel again and left.
At the same time, the fleet not far away captured the fleeting space jump fluctuation.
Suddenly, countless instruments and equipment swept towards this side, but in the end, nothing was found.
At this time, after several space jumps, the Skylark once again encountered a fleet consisting of more than a dozen planets.
It’s just that the fleet we encountered this time was a little strange.
The dozen or so planets that came through the inter-domain space jump channel are not huge war planets built of metal.
Instead, they are planets that look like living creatures.
Even in space, one can see the fluid flowing in the pulsating blood vessels of these blood-red fleshy planets.
On the blood-red flesh of the planet's surface, there are densely packed biological warships docked.
There were also a number of protruding tumors on the planet that were opening and closing, revealing wriggling holes inside that looked like cannon barrels.
"This is the Kramar people's planetary battleship. They have also set out." Yufei recognized the Kramar people's extremely special planetary battleship at a glance.
After all, among all the god-level civilizations, the war planet of the Kramar people, who mainly rely on biotechnology, is extremely rare.
However, Lin Xu did hold his chin with one hand, looking at the war stars that seemed alive, and fell into deep thought. He spoke after a long while.
"You know what I'm thinking of?"
"What did you think of?" Nanzhu asked cooperatively.
"Starry sky fish." Lin Xu sighed.
Suddenly, everyone was stunned, especially Arisa.
The starry sky fish of the Apocalypse clan is also a kind of creature unique to the Apocalypse clan.
It’s just that the Apocalypse Clan grazes the starry sky fish in order to eat the impurities that constantly pour out of the dimensional reduction channel, so Arisa did not take any starry sky fish with her when she left.
After being together for such a long time, everyone actually forgot for a moment that the Star Fish was an iconic servant of the Apocalypse Clan.
"Wait a minute, does that mean the Apocalypse tribe is also good at biotechnology?" Nanzhu stared at Arisa with his eyes wide open.
"Don't look at me, I can't." Arisa rolled her eyes at her.
"Do you want to catch one and dissect it?" Mu Xiyue had already stretched out her hand and grasped the hilt of Penglai's sword.
"After all, they are a race that once fought alongside humans. It would not be a good idea to take direct action before confirming that they have participated in Zerg experiments." Lin Xu shook his head and said.
"What should we do then? Not catch him anymore?" Nanzhu said with some regret.
"What I mean is, it's not convenient to catch them all, so let's just catch one," Lin Xu explained.
"I understand. Let's capture one and run away without letting them react." Nanzhu immediately became eager to try.
"Let me do it." Mu Xiyue glanced at Nanzhu and volunteered.
"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that I'm not as good as you?" Nan Zhu was immediately annoyed, especially since Mu Xiyue had deliberately glanced at her before saying this.
"No, I'm afraid you'll mess it up." Mu Xiyue explained, shaking her head.
"This doesn't mean that I'm not as good as you." Nanzhu said angrily.
The fox's tail stood up.
Liuli next to her had already silently prepared the comb, because if nothing unexpected happened, Nanzhu would ask her to comb her hair in a while.
To be honest, Liuli really likes combing Nanzhu's hair.
I feel like Nanzhu is my pet.
Although the reality is the other way around.
Of course, she must never let Nanzhu know about this thought.
"Don't be in a hurry, let's wait a while. When they open the space jump channel and start jumping, we just need to stop the last ship." Lin Xu waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two.
So, the group stayed here temporarily.
Looking at the dozen or so biological planet warships, they opened their huge eyes and emitted a huge amount of energy towards the front of the universe.
That energy folded the space, and in just a few days, a space jump channel was ready.
Afterwards, one after another, the biological planet warships headed towards the space jump channel.
On the Skylark, which was hidden not far away, Nanzhu, who was dozing on the sofa while having Liuli comb her tail, suddenly became alert.
"It's finally done. I've been waiting for several days. The technology is too backward." Nanzhu complained.
"This is how we teleported before." Mu Xiyue continued.
"At least it's not like that now." Nanzhu retorted.
While the two were bickering, one biological planet after another, the war stars, had already passed through the space jump channel and disappeared.
There is only one ship left, and it is rushing towards the space jump channel.
It was at this time that Arisa casually opened a space jump channel beside her, and when she reappeared, she had already arrived near the huge biological war star, watching the last biological war star about to rush into the space jump channel.
Arisa raised her hand and released a disturbance towards the space jump channel, and suddenly the huge space jump channel became unstable.
The biological war star that was about to rush in suddenly stopped its action and braked suddenly to a stop in the starry sky.
"Oh no, she got there first." Nanzhu then realized that when he and Mu Xiyue were fighting for it, Arisa had already set off.
So Nanzhu and Mu Xiyue both left the Skylark and appeared near the biological war planet.
At the same time, the fleshy cockpit on the war planet was in a state of chaos.
"Sieg, what happened? Why the emergency stop?" The soft-bodied creature, who was in a protective suit filled with liquid, asked through the speaker on the suit.
"Alert, the space jump channel is temporarily closed, the jump is temporarily stopped, the jump is temporarily stopped." The broadcast of the biological war star resounded throughout the fleshy hall.
"How could something go wrong with the space jump channel? Wasn't the channel already fully opened?"
"Normally, if the space jump channel is stable, it should be enough for all planets to pass through, unless there is external interference?"
"All units, be alert, send out reconnaissance units, search one light year for any suspicious targets."
"Alert, alert, enemy spotted, three million kilometers ahead, three million kilometers ahead."
"Three million kilometers? Isn't that right under our eyes? How is that possible?"
"Nanobot reaction detected. Hostile target suspected to be human. Hostile target suspected to be human."
"Human? Are you sure you're not mistaken, Sig?"
In an instant, all the soft-bodied creatures in the protective suits in the entire cockpit felt dizzy.
Although they are proficient in biotechnology, they have long since modified their own life forms and brains to make them more capable of resisting dizziness.
But at this moment, all the people of Kramar felt dizzy for the first time in a long time.
Humans? That's a joke.
