The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 338 Comet Impact (2)

At this time, seeing that this stage of the plan had basically come to an end, Lin Yi also activated the electromagnetic wave emitting organ in the body of the reconnaissance star scorpion and sent out another radio signal towards the front.

"The comet has stabilized. Our spacecraft will remain in its current orbit. If we are able to receive it, we will send a small probe to your location, which will carry some detailed information about the Fifth Exploration Fleet."

The enemy escort ship has ended its escort of the comet, and should be able to capture the probe structure at this time. In the ejection device on the side of the Reconnaissance Star Scorpion, a probe with a slightly improved internal structure is ready.

"Send to coordinates******, we will receive it."

After receiving a positive reply, a probe structure immediately popped out from the side of the Pioneer Star Scorpion, and quickly stabilized its body under the attitude adjustment of the electric rocket engine, and began to accelerate towards the predetermined coordinates.

On the surface of the detector, a layer of scale reactive armor structure quickly adjusted and combined with some other structures, allowing the detector, which was originally hidden in the darkness, to immediately reflect the same dazzling luster as the reconnaissance star scorpion itself, as dazzling as a bright light in the dark night.

Continuous special electromagnetic wave signals are also emitted from it, making it easier for the opponent's various detection structures to locate it, and also indicating that it poses no threat - judging from subsequent situations, it is better to minimize conflicts.

Among the Ezki escort ships that were no longer responsible for monitoring the comet, one of them changed its angle and began to approach the previously agreed coordinates with the help of the fiery plasma propulsion fluid at the tail.

Having said that, such a scene gave Lin Yi a strange sense of déjà vu - it was a pity that the number of the enemy's warships was far less than 2,000, and his own detectors were not made of neutron degenerate material shells, which could paralyze a large number of enemy ships with just a collision.
The comet has begun to enter the atmosphere. Although the angle has been controlled as much as possible, the effect of gravity still causes the huge body of the comet to fall rapidly with a noticeable tail, even far exceeding its own tail.

The intense friction quickly generates heat, vaporizing its original icy shell, but since it is already within the atmosphere, it is unlikely that these substances will continue to escape and become part of the planet's water cycle.

Those electric rocket engines are no longer effective. Not to mention the surface damage caused by the severe friction, it is basically impossible to fight against the gravity of the planet with that pitiful thrust.

This means that no adjustments can be made in this final stage. The result is basically doomed the moment the comet enters the atmosphere. All that remains is to wait for the end to come.

On the ground, some relatively close-range observation equipment on the scientific research ship has been aimed at the position of the comet for observation. Even a few barely cobbled-together drones have taken off and flown in the direction of the comet in an attempt to observe it at a closer distance.

The insufficient amount of remaining supplies meant that they were not able to assemble large tilt-rotor aircraft like the Fifth Exploration Fleet heading to Earth, and they could only rely on such simple means to barely complete some observations.

These simple drones and the observation equipment of the warships in orbit constitute their only means of large-scale scanning, but it is sufficient. It’s just that observing comets now seems a bit shabby.

As we get closer to the surface, a low-lying basin has emerged on the ground - it is speculated that most of the water it carries will accumulate here, affecting the water cycle based on the planet's approximate climate, triggering a series of chain reactions.

The drone quickly evacuated the scene to avoid being affected by the shock wave generated by the final impact - in the final impact stage, there was no need to continue observing, and the outcome would not change in any way, it was already determined.

The main part had broken apart while passing through the middle layer of the planet's atmosphere. Now, countless large and small fragments fell at the same time like rain, creating a stunning and spectacular effect. The situation did not seem to be much different from what was expected. Next, if nothing unexpected happened, for the Ezki people, the extremely harsh environment of this planet compared to their home planet should soon improve.

Therefore, at this moment, after finally completing all the tasks, the focus immediately shifted to another matter - the spaceship that appeared on the edge of the star system, claiming to be commissioned by the remnants of the Fifth Exploration Fleet to find the traces of the remaining exploration fleet.

"The other party claims to be commissioned by the Fifth Exploration Fleet. Can you explain the specific reason?"

"It only said that he was commissioned, but did not give a detailed reason. Perhaps the Fifth Exploration Fleet has already established itself?"

"Even if they have established a foothold, according to the exploration fleet plan, they won't be able to contact other exploration fleets in such a short time, right?"

"Unless they achieve a technological breakthrough and surpass the technological level of the parent civilization in a very short period of time, and no longer worry about the threats that the parent civilization may encounter?"

"If that's the case, why not just send a spacecraft directly, but instead ask other civilizations to help convey the message?"

As more people quickly joined the discussion, more positive and negative speculations were put forward, but it seemed that gradually, a skeptical attitude towards this suddenly emerging unknown civilization prevailed.

"Could it be that the enemy wiped out the Fifth Fleet and analyzed some intelligence from the wreckage in order to lure other exploration fleets into taking the bait? That doesn't make sense. Why would they proactively report the information?"

"Perhaps they are stalling for time and waiting for their main force to arrive? Or is there something wrong with the detector? Is it related to the one controlling those people?"

Some people thought of the scenes that happened on those warships and made bold guesses. If Lin Yi could hear all this, he would probably sigh and say, what a creative idea it is, and in a sense, it was a blessing in disguise.

He does have the means to control the Ezki people. Although he has nothing to do with the AI ​​that actually controls the other individuals through various means and causes civil unrest, in a sense, the means are common.

If there is a problem with this detector structure, it does have one - in order to achieve various functions, it is indeed filled with a lot of fungal spores, and if these fungal spores used for proliferation are used for parasitism, they are enough to parasitize all the remaining members.

In fact, Lin Yi was indeed preparing to find an opportunity to take action so as to control it more conveniently. However, according to the original plan, this time was not when the probe first came into contact with the other party, but was carried out simultaneously with the subsequent series of plans.

After a period of discussion, the other party seemed to have decided something, and another radio signal slowly came.
