The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 254 Formal contact (2)

A massive amount of propellant spurted out, and waves arose on the calm sea. Accompanied by violent transpiration sounds, a large amount of seawater was instantly vaporized by the blazing tail flames, and then condensed in mid-air, rising like a cloud of mist.

The first "Ezki" warship slowly made an emergency landing in the sea. The huge ship slammed heavily into the water, setting off a huge wave. Then, it slowly surfaced and swayed with the swaying of the aftermath.

In mid-air, figures were already flapping their membrane wings, forming formations and slowly approaching. The sound was as loud as the flapping of helicopter rotors, reverberating in the air, circling around the Ezki battleship that had made an emergency landing. They were the nearest shadow flies, the first one. Arriving at the emergency landing site in time, he spread his front wings towards the opponent's warship's sighting equipment.

On the forewings, dazzling bright lights flashed, emitting light signals at a specific frequency and transmitting them into the external observation structures of those battleships - this is a signal transmission method in the language of these aliens who call themselves Ezki. The content of the signal is simply to notify the other party of his arrival.

In the surrounding sea, figures more than 20 meters long slowly emerged from the water, surrounding the huge hull of the Ezki battleship. They were the Dreadnaught Soldiers and the Pioneer Mothers, each of which was the latest, using mineral-containing weapons. Individuals with material composite exoskeletons. Their large size makes their exoskeletons strong enough to protect against electromagnetic weapons used by these aliens who call themselves Ezki.

A sealed hatch of the Ezki warship that was the first to make an emergency landing slowly opened, and several individuals wrapped in protective suits slowly walked out and climbed onto the top of the warship. Seeing this, Shadowfly also slowly retracted its membrane wings, landed on the top of the battleship, and looked at the opponent.

The Shadowfly gathered its bladed appendages together and made a gesture similar to a bow, but the posture was very different due to the difference in body structure - this is a more formal etiquette within the civilization where this guy calls himself Ezki. . A pair of tentacles also swing at a specific angle, simulating the movements of the pair of vestigial appendages on the head of the Ezki.

"Please explain your intentions and the details of the conflict in the planet's orbit."

In the abdomen, which has been specially improved to produce the sound-producing organ structure of Ezki language, a signal is transmitted along with the flashing light signal on the membrane wings of the shadow fly, and he asks straight to the point.

The other party seemed to be desperate, but Lin Yi still did not rule out the possibility of them working together to perform a show. Even if he had been exposed, he did not want to launch an attack rashly. Moreover, the other party's one-sided words are not entirely credible.

"Ezki Civilization, the second batch of the fifth deep space exploration fleet, looking for livable planets for civilization." The other party obviously hesitated, as if he was hesitating about something.

After actually coming into contact with the other party, Warmani felt a strange sense of gap in his heart.

In imagination, a civilization with such strength, even if it does not appear instantly using space jump technology similar to hyperspace lanes, should still appear on the scene driving an anti-gravity aircraft that only exists at the theoretical level in civilization, instead of just being like this now. Like a group of wild beasts.

The appearance of the opponent's individual is also very weird, similar to the crustacean creature on the home planet, but its size is larger than that of the Ezki. However, while the opponent has gripping knuckles, it also seems to have a blade-like attack structure. nondescript.

But soon, the other party's awkward but obviously meaningful movements and the accompanying accent, which also had a weird but fluent Ezki Common Tongue, made him truly feel the other party's power, which was evident.

The other individuals did not have any mechanical equipment on their bodies, which meant that they had skillfully completed the learning of Ezki language in such a short period of time, and even deliberately adjusted the corresponding vocal structure for this purpose. He didn't know that he was facing a super-individual existence form that could not be measured by common sense. From the perspective of an ordinary individual, this amazing learning ability alone was enough to show that the other party's social operation efficiency was much higher than that of E. Ziki civilization and lower operating costs.

"At the same time, it has the mission of rebuilding civilization after the destruction of its mother civilization. And now, contact with the mother planet has been lost and the situation is unknown."

After thinking about it, he finally did not conceal the true purpose of the exploration fleet, and at the same time, he also revealed to the other party the news of the interruption of the connection with the home star.

If the other party is really malicious, even if there is an intact Ezki civilization backing it up, it may not help. On the contrary, the mother civilization may also be dragged into the water, which is contrary to the original intention of the exploration fleet.

If sacrificing the exploration fleet can preserve the existence of the mother civilization, then not only him, but all members of the exploration fleet will choose to sacrifice themselves without hesitation. Instead of doing this, it is better to directly inform the other party of the loss of contact with the home planet, so as to protect the home star.

"All personnel will evacuate the warship and be transported by us to the landing site of your scientific research ship. If what you say is true, we will temporarily protect your safety."

After listening to what the other party said, bursts of Ezki language were emitted from the Shadowfly's vocal organ again, along with light signals.

No matter what the other party said is true or false, now that the other party's warship has entered the earth, which is his home court, the most important thing for Lin Yi is to take the spoils, that is, the advanced technology on the Ezki warship as his own as soon as possible.

at the same time. Since their existence has been exposed, there is no point in continuing to hide them. In the asteroid belt, a large number of space creatures have taken off their disguises and revealed their bodies. The nuclear rocket engines ejected fiery propulsion medium, allowing the huge bodies to slowly begin. Accelerate and approach the Earth's orbit.

On the earth, the large amounts of stored nutrients in the carpet tissue that still existed were quickly consumed, and a series of biological launch sites were formed from pupae. At the same time, two biological launch vehicles, the Cornerstone Type 1 and the Cornerstone Type 2, also pupated. .

At this time, it may be more appropriate to say that they are ballistic missiles - the payload part has been replaced by a biological fission warhead, and is ready to be launched into space at any time to attack the two alien warships in Earth orbit.

A large number of radio signals were launched from the earth and space biomes at the same time to the two alien warships that had stayed in orbit and had backstabbed friendly forces in an attempt to inquire about their situation.

But the other party seemed not to hear it at all, and there was no response at all. According to the personnel on the Ezki warship that made an emergency landing, the two mutinous warships had already cut off contact with other warships - this statement is quite consistent. .

In such a trial, the first step of communication between the two parties was established. As for how things will develop in the future, Lin Yi has no idea, but in any case, digesting the spoils, carrying out countermeasures, and improving his own strength are all for now. It's urgent.
