Section 39 Black Ball

On the unmanned planet once called the Wilderness Star, it has always been considered to have no trace of civilization... Until today.

With the assistance of the Zhonghuajia Rocket Launch Center, a satellite representing the highest achievement of Earth's science and technology was launched into the synchronous orbit of the Blue Star. Next, 15 such satellites will be launched into the sky.

Although Earth technology is used extensively on these satellites, their ultimate control is firmly controlled by the Tarot server group - due to its complete incompatible software and hardware, the possibility of satellite permissions being stolen is naturally reduced to the lowest point.

Chen Zheng also has the highest management authority for the entire Tarot server group, so this satellite system named "Sky Eye" is firmly in Chen Zheng's own hands.

For the time being, Blue Star’s data still needs to be kept confidential... At least, until Chen Zheng fully understands it, its data cannot be easily mastered by too many people.

...

After attending the celebration banquet and affirming the work of the scientists, Chen Zheng began to connect to the satellite that had just been launched as soon as he returned to his residence.

At this time, it has begun to take high-definition photos around the base. Since Chu stored a lot of sensor technology in the Tarot server, the photography system installed on the satellite is not behind the Earth's technology at this time, and it is even slightly ahead in some aspects.

But even for alien technology, it is not that easy to take high-definition photos of a planet - it takes a lot of time.

In fact, satellites hanging high in space are not as powerful as many people think - they are difficult to monitor the entire surface of the earth in real time, and early satellites even took a whole number of months to complete the basic satellite photo coverage.

In fact, up to now, most satellite maps are limited to the extent that they can distinguish vehicles with a resolution of about one meter, and the coverage area is limited to major cities. A slightly remote mountainous area can only be fooled with photos with lower resolution.

Even though modern technology has developed, it is still difficult for satellite lenses to cover all areas - the kind of videos of moving aircraft and aircraft carriers can be seen in real time from space, which means a lot of money consumption - because it requires satellites in space to change orbits to be clearly captured.

Each orbital change shooting consumes a large amount of fuel carried by the satellite, which reduces the satellite's life in disguise... On today's Earth, the emission weight is still priced in grams, so you can imagine how amazing the consumption of each orbital change is.

What Earth Technology cannot do, and the alien technology that Chen Zheng has mastered now is also difficult to do. In this kind of long-distance video detection technology at the planetary level, the gap between Earth and alien technology is not big.

Actually, this is not difficult to understand.

For the people on earth, when they want to break free from the constraints of the planet and destroy their own places in some unknown disasters, the only solution is to search in the starry sky.

However, for aliens who have mastered Zero Crystal, Zero Energy and Tide Gate technology, they have no need to explore the mysteries of other stars in the sky. They just need to open the portal and leave the planet that is about to be destroyed.

As for whether such a great migration will cause war...that is another topic.

The celebration lasted less than two hours, and this comprehensive satellite, named "Sky Eye" 1, also used this time to complete the rough pictures within 1,000 kilometers of the base area. At this time, high-definition pictures are being taken bit by bit.

Judging from the rough picture of this 1,000-kilometer radius, the above is densely covered with painted black "spots", only a small circle in the center and the adjacent sea area do not have those strange "spots" distributions, and the other spaces are almost filled with these messy things.

"..." Chen Zheng looked at this rough picture silently. Compared with the places he flew before, it is not difficult to find... These "spots" should be "bases" developed by bugs.

I had known that the insects were developing extremely rapidly before... But Chen Zheng never expected that the power of these insects had expanded to such a level!

If you let it go like this, I believe that these small "spots" will continue to expand and eventually connect into one piece, wrapping the entire planet! At that time, all living things will be extinct by these greedy insects, and the entire planet will only be left with the insects themselves.

"……call……"

Chen Zheng took a deep breath.

His breathing became rushing involuntarily after just a little describing the world ruled by insects... Such a scene would make people feel scared just by thinking about it.

no!

Never let these bugs grow!

...

After seeing the rough pictures, Chen Zheng brought up another high-definition photo.

At this time, the high-definition photos have just been updated to the air defense circle that the bugs have built before - Chen Zheng can even see from the high-definition pictures that the mining robot is operating automatically working.

These high-definition photos are still centered on the base and slowly expanding outward in a circle. As this high-definition "circle" becomes larger and larger, its diameter growth rate becomes slower and slower. Chen Zheng waited for dozens of minutes, but the frequency of photos being updated can no longer keep up with the speed of his viewing.

Just as Chen Zheng was about to close the window, a newly photographed picture suddenly attracted his attention...

……What's this!?

In the photo, you can clearly see the missile worm resting on the ground, the flying snake curled up in the fleshy nest, and even the swallower soaked in the acid pool...

These things are not new. The flying boss killed by Chen Zheng can't count them with both hands and feet. What Chen Zheng cares about the most is the black sphere towering in the center of the insect base town.

At first, Chen Zheng just thought this thing looked familiar... but soon he remembered that when he was exploring the main nest of the insect, the black "lightning" that shot down Brother Cheng was a huge black ball?

No matter how you look at it, the things in the previous video are very similar to the outlines in the current satellite pictures. The only difference is that even the high-definition version of the satellite pictures is still very small, while the pictures taken by Chen Zheng and others before are very clear.

Chen Zheng quickly found the video of Cheng Ge's landline being shot down before and froze the picture to the moment he was shot down.

"...It seems I have to go there myself." Chen Zheng looked at the two pictures with very different resolutions. The only thing he could be sure of was that they looked so similar...

...

"Buzz--"

Amid the unique roar of the electro-surgery engine, a Viking fighter jet soared into the sky under Chen Zheng's posture and rushed straight towards the distance.

At the speed of Viking fighter jets, they quickly approached the bug base taken by satellite images.

Before Chen Zheng could approach, he didn't know how the insects discovered Chen Zheng, but he saw that there were flying dragons flying in the base "hula" and it seemed that the number was less than 10,000 or 20,000!

Not only ordinary flying dragons, but even the BOSS-type flying creatures hiding in the center of the base gradually flew up, and even several flying snakes rushed up in the direction of Chen Zheng.

"..." Chen Zheng pushed the throttle hard and rushed towards the sea of ​​monsters in front! The Zerg in the sky covered up the news Chen Zheng wanted, so he had to fly closer to visually confirm what the black sphere standing in the center of the insect base was...

"boom!"

Electromagnetic gun fire!

The improved electromagnetic cannon shell deliberately increased its penetration, so Chen Zheng did not use a flying dragon to make a meat sauce like usual... Instead, a shell penetrated the bodies of countless flying dragons and rushed straight to the huge black sphere he had seen before...

"Crack!!"

really!

Just as Chen Zheng was worried... a black lightning rose from under the dragon group! After instantly killing a large number of flying dragons, it also hit Chen Zheng's electromagnetic cannon accurately.

The hot electromagnetic cannon, the originally shiny red metal rod began to dim at an extremely fast speed when it touched the black lightning, and then its speed began to become slower and slower... as if something not only swallowed its heat, but even swallowed its kinetic energy!!

No...not right!

Chen Zheng suddenly woke up... Kinetic energy cannot be absorbed in this form! It must be that the other party has some physical protection measures of force field, otherwise it will be difficult for other methods to interfere with the electromagnetic cannon containing huge energy.

Let's send it again!

"boom--"

This time, amid the roar of the electromagnetic cannon, the hot projectile flew faster toward the direction where the black ball was... However, this time it was still useless, and the black lightning was wrapped up again! It was still using the original routine to easily resolve the threat Chen Zheng brought to it.

"This is... not good!"

Chen Zheng was about to fly closer and thoroughly observe the black ball... As a result, a line of death spread toward the drone driven by Chen Zheng at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Wherever the black lightning passed, countless flying dragons were instantly deprived of their lives, and they smashed them to the ground like stones...

Damn it!

“Buzz ————”

The electrospray engine let out a sharp roar, and the Viking fighter flying by Chen Zheng quickly accelerated... But just as he was about to escape, the black lightning touched his car.

"laugh……"

The speed of the electro-injection engine began to drop sharply, and the tail flame color of the Viking fighter also quickly became lower... Fortunately, Chen Zheng had already raised the speed of the Viking fighter to the maximum before this. Although the engine suddenly lost power, he still relied on inertia to get rid of the terrifying lightning envelope.

When the Viking fighter finally rushed out of the black "lightning" contact range, the electro-surgery engine then "coughed" a few times and slowly recovered its power.

After a few dozen seconds, the Viking fighter that had recovered its power finally stabilized. At this time, Chen Zheng also drove the Viking fighter far away. Looking back, he could only see a black fog from a distance. It was difficult for the individual flying dragon to distinguish it.

Sitting in the simulation warehouse, Chen Zheng looked at the slow playback just now in surprise...

...This time, because the drone escaped, the quality of the video shooting is very high, and it can even be used as a high-speed camera to restore the things you shot before frame by frame.

That's not a "lightning" at all!!

Chen Zheng finally saw the true face of that thing - it seems very light and thin, just like graphite fiber, and it is also somewhat bifurcated and curled... but in fact it has life!

Chen Zheng clearly saw the waving black filament rolling over several flying dragons instantly, and finally bounced suddenly like a frog's tongue, instantly grasping the tail of the Viking fighter plane!

Immediately afterwards, the tail flame of the Viking fighter began to have problems... It seemed that it could have an impact through contact, and the monitoring panel also clearly indicated that the temperature inside the engine was dropping sharply at this time!

Overall, the black "lightning" is somewhat like mycelium or hair, but it can pass the flying dragon floating in the sky as a springboard and then throw itself on the invading air target.

Although each attack consumes dozens of flying dragons' lives, I have to say... this is a good deal!

Even the Viking fighter flying by Chen Zheng was almost shot down by it using this method... Not to mention others, even at the level of a fat man, he might not be able to avoid such a sudden attack, and other students would be even less likely to be spared.

After Chen Zheng examined the entire video frame by frame, he re-releases the video of Brother Cheng being killed... It was not until this time that he noticed a detail: while Brother Cheng was killed, several flying dragons were also killed by the tentacles or mycelium.

This is obviously a newly developed air defense method by the bugs!

...

"So, what do you think?" Chen Zheng asked. Opposite Chen Zheng's screen was a man in glasses who had fallen into deep thought.

"This... seems to be achieved by special evolutionary means..." The man in glasses shook his head while looking, "I have never seen such... so 'smart' evolution..."

"..." Chen Zheng quietly waited for him to explain.

"... Generally speaking, evolution is accumulated by benign variation after natural selection. And variation is full of uncertainty, and the variations produced under natural circumstances are rarely benign. Because of this, evolution has always been a slow and difficult process. It relies on accumulation."

"However, the thing in front of us is definitely not a product of natural evolution! Instead, it is like the specialized and abnormal changes that some crazy scientists use methods to guide them step by step... and it is also the highly targeted kind! It is actually very rare for organisms to alienate themselves into confrontation methods." The man in glasses also frowned while saying, obviously he also had a lot of doubts in his heart.

"...In other words, that thing is wise, and it can even control the changes and evolution of its own population..." Chen Zheng concluded.

"Impossible! How can there be any change guided by wisdom? Wisdom is always resistant to change..."

As he spoke, the man with glasses suddenly turned pale and he said slowly:

"No, I remembered it...it's not completely impossible..."

Although the rocket launch process has
Chapter completed!
