The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 257 Dramatic changes in the mother star
Explosions and screams are endless, which is the most intuitive manifestation of the ferocious and fierce offensive of the rotating tube electromagnetic firearm.

On the firearm in hand, an unknown number of magazines fell off as the locking mechanism was released, and another full magazine was immediately installed. The electromagnetic firearm, which had been operated at full load for a long time, and the heat dissipation structure had become hot again. Operations resumed.

In front of the simply constructed fortifications, the enemies were still trying to launch attacks again and again, as if they were no longer in a hurry to capture this place all at once, but were instead increasing their troop strength bit by bit like a tease, as if to crush the last of people's fragile psychology. Line of defense.

The piercing siren echoed, indicating that another wave of enemies was approaching the last line of defense of the deep space exploration fleet's home star headquarters.

The sound of mechanical structures stepping on the ground followed - since the battle broke out, they had not even seen a living person from the enemy. Those who launched attacks and caused destruction were all ghosts like this in front of them.

Four mechanical legs arranged diagonally in an Deep pits.

Small unmanned ground combat machinery, this kind of thing was proposed long before the Planetary Unification War, but various reasons have prevented it from being mass-produced and put into active service. But now, unknown forces are putting it into use on a large scale.

Also, the most serious problem of signal interference is no longer a problem for the other party - now, it is the other party that has the initiative in electronic countermeasures. This is the headquarters responsible for contacting the exploration fleet in deep space and assisting in the preservation of the fire of civilization. , has been completely cut off from the outside world.

However, the delayed arrival of reinforcements, the rapidly breached outer defense line, as well as the faint flashes of light reflected in the sky from time to time and the flying meteors falling into the atmosphere with their flame tails all told the defenders here that the Eclipse Ziji's home planet may have fallen into an unprecedented crisis.

The changes in the sky are enough to show that even the guard fleet of the home star may have been attacked by an unknown attack, and the situation is not optimistic. But all of this happened without any warning, so that no one knew who they were facing or what they were talking about.

The electromagnetic firearms mounted on those small combat machines also have the style of Ezki, proving that the opponent is most likely not an alien visitor, but a local force.

But what kind of force can cause such a big movement and even threaten the defense fleet of Ezki's home planet - is it a terrorist organization with ulterior motives, the remnants of those countries before the Unification War, or is it a collusion between the two?
But at least on the surface, the Ezki Civilization is still monolithic. As for the terrorist organization with sufficient strength, I am afraid that the only one is the Ascension Sect. But at this time, the other party has almost disappeared and has lost all space to gain a foothold. How can it cause trouble? Such a big movement?
"The quantum communication equipment has partially returned to normal and can communicate with the exploration fleet!"

At the same time that the other party launched an attack, the large-scale quantum communication equipment responsible for communicating with the deep space exploration fleet malfunctioned. There was no connection and no one believed it.

In order to facilitate management and control, the connection between the exploration fleets needs to be transited through the home star. Similarly, communication between colonial stars also requires relays from the parent star, which means that cutting off the quantum communication equipment connection on the parent star completely paralyzes all inter-planetary communications.

Under normal circumstances, quantum communication is difficult to interfere with. Therefore, at the beginning of the design, the existence of the ability to interfere with entangled quantum states was not considered. Such a situation was completely unexpected.

But fortunately, the opponent's interference technology does not seem to be too strong. It does not directly affect the entangled state quantum, but interferes in an indirect way. This also means that they are not completely helpless. "Calling all exploration fleets, the home planet has been attacked by unknown forces. Stay as far away as possible and implement the plan. Note, this is not a drill!"

"Calling all exploration fleets, the home planet has been attacked by unknown forces. Stay as far away as possible and implement the plan. Note, this is not a drill!"

The same words were sent several times in succession to ensure that all exploration fleets received the message, and then the quantum communication device in contact with the other party started the final self-destruction program. After a series of complex operations, the entangled quantum state inside that was in contact with the deep space exploration fleet light-years away completely collapsed and could no longer contact the other party.

According to the plan, if the crisis is resolved afterwards, warships will naturally set sail again and notify the exploration fleet through the simplest and crudest human messaging. And if this is really a disaster for the Ezki home planet, the exploration fleet can retain a trace of fire and achieve the goals set in the plan.

On the front line, the guards were still fighting against those massive small unmanned combat machines at the last few lines of defense - the opponents were not very powerful, but their numbers were staggering, coming like a tide, making people feel desperate.

It is unimaginable how the unknown enemy gathered such a large number and threw them directly into the battlefield of Ezki's home planet.

Several days of high-intensity fighting have made everyone numb. When they witness their comrades being torn to pieces by the ferocious barrage of electromagnetic guns in front of them, while the enemies at the rear are still endless, even some of the guards here have experienced it. Even veterans of the Planetary Unification War cannot face it calmly.

When the last message was sent, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of relief - as guards of important places, no one among them was afraid of sacrifice, but the sacrifice was meaningless and no one was willing to accept it.

Fortunately, they fought desperately and finally bought precious time, allowing the technicians at the rear to successfully repair the equipment and send a signal to the exploration fleet.

Meteors streaked across the sky, and from the point of view of their impact, they seemed to be heading towards this place - it seemed that the other party had discovered that the communication interference had failed, and no longer held back, launching an attack with all its strength.

Everyone knows that such a tail flame structure is an attack from space that is passing through the atmosphere and falling towards here. And even though this building was directly transformed from the civil defense fortifications before the Planetary Unification War, it only delayed the arrival of death.

Everyone has left a bullet for themselves at this time. When necessary, they can directly end their own lives so that unknown enemies cannot obtain any information.

The fate of this place, and even the entire mother planet, has been decided, but the deep space exploration fleet in the distance can still serve as a preserved fire, waiting for the day when it will be ignited again.
