Chapter 143 Questions and Answers
Looking down at the entire underground cave, the attackers who suddenly rushed in, even with the huge airdrop capsule, were just like the debris of leaves washed away in a river.

But the swarm was unable to shake the attackers; they could only attack helplessly and be killed helplessly.

The think tanks in the team who gradually learned to use Qin Xia's psychic power had a huge effect. One of them could achieve results comparable to that of a combat team.

Ordinary Space Marines need to stand together and form groups to intercept the Zerg swarm through non-stop and accurate shooting, while the Librarian only needs to release a single psychic lightning or fire to resist it once.

The think tanks demonstrated amazing fighting power.

But this is not the first time their powers have been discovered and known by others.

If psykers were useless and could not bring even a little benefit to the Legion, then the 12th Legion would have already removed all think tanks.

Think tanks have their own advantages, but also disadvantages.

Chief Librarian Varis shouted to the young Librarian who was resisting the insect tide on the left side of the team: "Brother Ioka! Rest for a while, so as not to make mistakes in the use of your psionic energy!"

"Yes! Brother Varis!" Ioka retreated immediately.

An apothecary named Garan Sulak took Ioka's place and used firepower to resist the insect tide.

The pharmacist's firepower alone was definitely insufficient, so Dantioch rushed forward.

This extremely brave iron warrior said nothing, whether he was swinging his hammer to sweep away a swarm of insects or being attacked from the side by the insects, he remained silent, as if he was a pure war machine.

Dantioch's military prowess makes Garansurak seem useless in comparison.

This iron warrior, with only one hammer, can hold one direction and resist the swarm of insects coming from one direction, just like Ioka who has retreated to rest.

Know no fatigue, know no fear.

Never give in.

"Return to your fighting position!"

Qin Xia, who had not been paying attention to the battle since it began, suddenly came back to his senses and gave orders to Ioka, the young think tank.

"Nothing will go wrong using my psychic powers to fight!"

Ioka quickly returned to the left side of the team and took over the task of resisting the insect tide from Dantioch.

Dantioch didn't want to stand between the psychic attacks and insects released by Ioka, so he temporarily retreated and stood next to Qin Xia.

Qin Xia's eyes were filled with spiritual energy as he scanned the surroundings, as if looking for something.

"Our goal is not to stand here, right?" Dantioch's voice was no longer calm, and he was obviously a little anxious.

Qin Xia still looked around, but no longer remained silent.

"There is a material or a being in this place that can block spiritual energy."

"If I weren't a little special, we wouldn't be able to use psychic powers in this place."

As he spoke, Qin Xia walked forward.

The crowd protected him, Dantioch, and the pharmacist Garland.

After approaching a stone pillar that looked like it was naturally formed, Qin Xia punched the outer shell of the stone pillar, revealing a dark purple crystal mineral inside.

"This place is full of these things." Qin Xia looked around. "No matter what these minerals are, they have the effect of resisting spiritual energy."

Hearing these words that sounded like scientific research, Dantioch frowned.

Everyone was fighting, and they thought there would be some super big bugs or some queen bug or something that could end the battle directly, but it turned out there were only some crystal ores.

"If you want to study it, then knock off a piece and take it away, instead of leaving all of us here to be besieged by bugs." Dantioch said as he smashed off a large piece of crystal with his hammer.

"This crystal is actually their secretion." Qin Xia glanced at the insect swarm. "The way they fight against psychic energy is to absorb it and then store it in this crystal. This is simply a miracle in biology. This race seems to be specially designed to clean up psychic energy."

"That's not all. What's really amazing is that these crystal minerals can even be reused."

"Let's imagine that we have created a weapon that can only be used by psychics, but now we don't need psychics to use that weapon. We can use this crystal containing psychic energy as a recharge to activate the psychic weapon."

"..."

Dantioch found himself the subject of Qin Xia's lectures.

Just like a student listening to his teacher, Dantioch listened to Qin Xia talk about what he had discovered.

But Dantioch was not interested in these things at all: "I don't know what the hell these things are used for. I only know that if this place does not have the battle we need to fight, we must leave here and find other nests to continue fighting."

"Are these crystal minerals containing psychic energy secreted by the bugs?" Librarian Varis began to ask, "But why do they have an anti-psychic effect? ​​In your psychic vision, this place looks like a shadow..."

"These crystals themselves should have no function other than storing the absorbed psychic energy." Qin Xia looked at the creatures rushing in from all directions, "Perhaps there is some kind of anti-psychic creature supported here. Its way of resisting psychic energy is to use psychic energy, similar to the effect of the void shield on the flagship that covers the entire fleet."

"That feels true. This also explains why there is a shadow here in the psychic vision, but not other places." Varis nodded.

"Then is it possible that the creature being fed is the top creature that controls the entire alien race?"

"possible."

"..."

Dantioch couldn't stand it any longer, and swung his hammer to smash the crystal column in front of Qin Xia: "We are not here to do scientific research!"

"Be patient." Qin Xia looked indifferent, and just raised his hand to send out a shock wave to repel the swarm of insects in front of him. "The discovery here is very important."

"How important is it?" Dantioch demanded.

Qin Xia replied calmly: "It is so important that if Perturabo finds this place, he will make thousands of you die for it, and if you fail to take it, he will beat you to death. It is that important."

"Impossible, he doesn't like these mysterious things, and he doesn't believe in the existence of witchcraft in this world." said Dantioch.

"But when his twelfth brother shows up, he will believe it, and he will also think about how to defend against his brother's psychic talent." Qin Xia still answered calmly, "He will be interested in everything here."

Dantioch seemed to be struck by something and could no longer refute.

"Don't worry, I'm different from the Primarch of your Fourth Legion. I care about people's lives. I won't be so relaxed if the situation is critical." Qin Xia said as he led the team forward.

"This guy has a real mouth..." Dantioch muttered to himself, but he still followed with the hammer while keeping an eye on the team's surroundings, and did not raise any more objections.

The group moved on.

Dantioch stood in the center of the team and looked around, then felt that this must be a nightmare combat experience.

There was no end in sight to the sea of ​​insects that kept rushing over. Everyone felt like they were walking in a tsunami.

And the psionic spells the Librarians used to clear the way were like swimming rings.

Knowing that psychic energy is fundamentally unstable, Dantioch has been worried that one of the think tanks might go crazy and blow everyone up.

This Iron Warrior did not know Qin Xia, and he was not a psychic, so Qin Xia thought this was understandable.

"as I expected."

After walking forward for a while, they suddenly saw an egg like a crimson gem hanging in a huge hole in front of them.

Qin Xia stopped and motioned for everyone to look at the egg.

But apart from him, Dantioch and the pharmacist, the other think tanks were already very busy. They used the psychic energy provided by Qin Xia, like a weapon that continuously released psychic energy, to attack the influx of insects.

"Look, it's being fed." Qin Xia pointed to the giant egg.

The bugs fighting with everyone had shells, but the bugs near the egg were different. They were a group of soft-bodied bugs that took the crystals that had been discovered by everyone earlier and fed them to the tubular mouthparts extending from the giant egg.

In the psychic vision, there is a living creature inside the giant egg. After being fed with crystals filled with psychic energy, it continues to create a small-scale "psychic shadow".

It is obviously the commander of those bugs, but it does not command the bugs in a psionic way. The psionic shadow is more like an anti-psionic defense mechanism.

This alien Zerg race relies on brain waves to command and be commanded. They are afraid of psychic power, so they have a psychic defense mechanism that casts a shadow in the eyes of psychics.

Dantioch immediately took out the bomb he had brought with him before the operation.

A miniature tactical nuclear bomb.

In every previous battle against this alien race in this system, the Iron Warriors had slowly searched for nests and then destroyed them with miniature tactical nuclear bombs.

Now Dantioch will do so.

"Wait." Qin Xia held Dantioch back, "We will destroy it, but not now."

"Gallan Surak."

The pharmacist heard Qin Xia calling his name, so he stepped forward and waited for orders.

Qin Xia pointed at the creatures around him and said, "Pick up samples of psychic crystals and creatures that secrete crystals, and collect some samples of the egg. From now on, you are responsible for studying and keeping them."

Biological research.

Garland liked this kind of thing very much, but he had another mission, a mission far more important than biological research: "But the Primarch ordered transformation surgery for his brothers and sisters, and I, as a pharmacist..."

"You pharmacists can only perform the transformation surgery when I am present, so what I ask you to do now does not conflict with what you were originally going to do." Qin Xia said.

Galan was stunned for half a second, then nodded and began to extract samples as Qin Xia said.

Qin Xia stopped analyzing and speculating, but instead released psychic attacks together with other think tanks to cover Garland in carrying out the tasks he had ordered.

Dantioch saw the man in armor that he had found from nowhere raise his hand.

What was released was not psychic lightning, but a shock wave that directly cleared a large area.

The insects' bodies began to burn for no apparent reason, as if someone had run up to them and thrown a firebomb at them, but Qin Xia just glanced at them.

Garland was given special protection.

An insect that looked extremely agile approached Garland and sprayed venom, but it only hit an illusion of Garland reflected in the ice and snow.

Logical, illogical, all kinds of things become weird as long as they are related to psychic power.

Dantioch now understood why Qin Xia did not use weapons, because there was no need.

Once this guy stands here, he will be a killing weapon.

Thinking of this, Dantioch glanced at the think tanks and realized that Qin Xia would also turn other psychics into killing weapons.

Garland took care of everything and collected all the samples that could be collected, whether it was the minced meat, genes, blood, or the psychic ore secreted by the aliens in this underground cave.

The anti-psychic ability these creatures possess is to absorb psychic energy and incorporate it into the secreted ore, which is what is most important to collect.

"Give me the nuclear bomb." Qin Xia reached out to Dantioch.

"What do you plan to do with everything here?" Dantioch asked out of curiosity when handing over the nuclear bomb.

Qin Xia took the nuclear bomb and asked Dantioch a question: "If you, the Iron Warriors, came to attack here, what would you do?"

"First, we need to find this place, then bring many people to attack it, dig a passage, and bring vehicles to transport a huge amount of weapons and ammunition." Dantioch speculated, "We won't use airdrop pods, because a small team coming here is looking for death. The number of enemies is greater than the bullets."

Qin Xia nodded: "Yes, because your Fourth Legion doesn't like psychics, and you won't set up a think tank. And even if you set up a think tank, it won't be as stable as mine."

You are so proud, Dantioch thought.

"When I came here in person and discovered that the way the creatures here fight against psychic energy is by absorbing psychic energy and then secreting it into crystals, feeding it to the giant egg. The giant egg then releases psychic energy to create shadows that obscure the psychic's vision. I realized that they have great potential."

"I will breed them, improve them, and make them controllable, safe, and efficient."

Qin Xia continued to explain to Dantioch.

"When your legion faces this kind of enemy again, I can give you weapons or equipment powered by psionic energy, and then give you some crystals secreted by these creatures as energy."

"This way you can use highly effective psionic techniques without the use of a psyker."

Hearing this, Dantioch suddenly felt that this matter had great potential, and asked hurriedly: "Will you provide the Fourth Legion with the highly effective psychic weapons you mentioned?"

"Okay." Qin Xia nodded, "As long as Perturabo can take off his armor and weapons and lay them on the ground, then kneel down and apologize."

Dantioch frowned.

"I am only using your army as an example. I am not saying that the technology generated by this discovery should be applied to you."

Qin Xia said this and motioned for everyone to stand next to him.

The giant egg has not been destroyed, the Zerg alien's chain of command has not been broken, and any teleportation technology relying on psychic energy cannot teleport people into this huge nest.

However, the psychic shadow created by the giant egg does not cover the entire planet. You cannot get in with psychic power, but you can get out.

When everyone disappeared in the ice and snow, the tactical nuclear bomb was detonated.
