A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 241 These Natives Are Too Confident

A space war between two civilizations is inevitable, but the alien civilization's technology is so advanced that the Ska people can't defeat it. What should they do?

Then there's only one way out: surrender.

The Civilization Survival Faction is a small group of Skaians who believe their mother civilization has no chance of winning. They are very determined and firmly believe that their mother civilization cannot defeat the alien civilization on planet Z-16.

These Ska people advocate that if aliens attack, they should immediately lie down and surrender.

It is worth mentioning that many high-ranking leaders from various Ska people's countries were infiltrated into this "civilized survival" faction. These people provided cover for the faction, preventing it from being exposed to the public eye.

The intention behind this is self-evident; no high-ranking official from any country would dare to confidently say that the Ska civilization would definitely win the war against the Z-16 extraterrestrial civilization.

What if we lose?

In order for the survival of civilization, the only option is to surrender unconditionally. Therefore, having the identity of the "civilization survivalists" faction allows one's family to quickly gain the trust of aliens after the civilization surrenders.

Hedging their bets means that even if the mother civilization surrenders, they can still live a life of luxury and privilege.

Lu Shang had no idea what the Ska people were like on Reka Star. He had been quite annoyed lately by the high-frequency radio waves that the Ska people were sending him all day long.

Out of caution, Lu Shang is now connected to all the sensory organs of the planetary life form around the clock, resulting in hearing high-frequency radio waves from the direction of Reka Star every day.

The key point is that these high-frequency radios don't talk about anything important.

It asks whether the receiver has received the radio signal, and if so, to reply.

This feeling is like having a lunatic who, every day, uses all their strength and the loudest volume to ask you a question you absolutely don't want to answer.

Therefore, based on the Ska people's infuriating behavior, Lu Shang moved the civilization conquest operation, originally scheduled to begin five months later, to be carried out immediately.

One after another, bio-rockets rose from the surface of the planetary life form. They first reached the planetary life form's first cosmic velocity, then changed orbits to enter the same orbit, and revolved around the planetary life form at the same speed.

Because they all move at the same speed, and each of the biological rockets is relatively stationary, the swarm of bees has room to maneuver.

Each biological rocket extends its tentacles, connecting with other biological rockets, combining one after another to gradually form a large organic cocoon.

After the organic cocoon formed in the planetary organism's orbit, a second batch of biological rockets rose from the Earth's surface. After entering orbit, they gradually merged with the organic cocoon, which was more than ten kilometers in diameter.

Inside this fleshy cocoon, no biological embryo was being conceived; instead, numerous living organs were being conceived.

These living organs gradually approach each other under the intervention of the bee colony's organic cocoon fluid, and then fuse into a whole like an anglerfish.

The first part completed was the spine, stretching for thirteen kilometers. Then came the scattered organs, flesh, nerve fibers, segmented blood vessels, etc., which were attached to the spine in an orderly and methodical manner, like building blocks.

Within a few days, a Behemoth-like monster took shape in the organic cocoon.

A slit opened on the side of the Behemoth's body, and a huge fleshy ball that had always been at the edge of the organic cocoon entered the Behemoth's body through the slit.

"The nuclear fusion reactor is installed and all the new organs are functioning normally." The assembled Behemoth reported to Lu Shang after breaking out of its organic cocoon.

"The only energy we can get our hands on right now is nuclear fusion. Make do with that for now and use it to turn the Ska civilization on Reka into a swarm of satellite civilizations."

The swarm learned how to build nuclear fusion reactors from satellite civilizations.

However, since it was of little use to the bee colony, the bees simply remembered it as a technical reserve.

Now that psionic energy has failed, the swarm is left with only molecular biology technology, which gives nuclear fusion reactors a purpose.

The hives modified the original mechanical nuclear fusion reactor. The structure remained largely unchanged, but the materials used changed significantly. The metal structure was replaced with a metal skeleton structure, just like a human skeleton. Although these structures were predominantly made up of metallic elements, they were alive and could grow according to the will of the hive.

Because this reactor generates electricity directly from nuclear fusion plasma without mechanical conversion, its structure is not complex; the main issue is the temperature resistance of the materials.

In this respect, the bee colony adopts the design concept of pores in the skeleton. There are many pores inside the metal skeleton, through which many low-temperature helium atoms flow. These helium atoms flow out from one end through the pores in the metal skeleton and out from the other end. In the process of flowing, the temperature of the metal skeleton is also quickly carried away by thermal contact.

This would allow the metal skeleton to withstand higher temperatures, thus freeing it from dependence on scarce metals.

The only part of the entire nuclear fusion reactor structure that hasn't changed much is the radiation shielding layer. In the absence of psionic means, the swarm doesn't really have a good way to block nuclear radiation except by relying on heavy nuclear atoms.

Upon hearing Lu Shang's instructions, the Behemoth was somewhat taken aback. It looked around at the surrounding space environment and confirmed that it was the only one that had been hatched.

"Just me?"

Lu Shang said speechlessly, "You alone are enough. The Ska don't even have space power. If the swarm really wanted to wipe them out, they wouldn't need you to go."

"Hurry up and get things sorted out over there as soon as possible. There are other space missions for you to handle here with the swarm," Lu Shang urged.

"oh."

Faced with Lu Shang's urging, the Behemoth no longer had any doubts. Its rear end emitted a dazzling light, like a small sun in space, and it headed towards its destination, Reka Star.

……

Although Behemoth was only thirteen kilometers long, which is not even considered dust on the scale of space, the universe is very vast. Even within a star system, the density of matter is measured in atoms.

In such a vast and open environment, the Behemoth made no attempt to disguise itself. The plasma tail flames from its nuclear fusion were so bright they could blind people, and unsurprisingly, they were captured by the Ska's orbital observation satellite.

On the planet Reka, the Ska people were filled with fear and unease.

After the Ska people, who were advocating war, failed in their plan to move industrial production lines into space due to the premature outbreak of space war, the three major factions of the Ska Sacred Merchant Alliance, the Madrid Comprehensive Federation, and the Sog United Government held a secret meeting on an encrypted network.

They discussed how to deal with the alien spaceships that were attacking the Z-16 planet.

There was only one spaceship, but even so, it was an enormous and irreplaceable advantage for the Scarans, who did not have a spaceship.

Because they didn't have a single spaceship, let alone the ability to fight back against enemies in space.

"What do we do now?"

"The only way is to rely on our home planet."

"Based on the detection results, the other side is just a spaceship that is thirteen miles long. Even if the spaceship is filled with nuclear bombs, it can only bomb the cities on the ground at most."

"Deep underground military bases are difficult to threaten."

"The most urgent task now is to evacuate the people and move them and the arsenals underground, relying on the earth's crust as armor to effectively withstand bombardment from orbit."
