“I have made a little progress.” Zhang Yi sweetly replied, “These bugs’ genes are really amazing. Simply put, their genes can allow them to directly communicate in the Universe with the true leader in the broods. This makes communication much more convenient. A Zerg leader can, at the same time, control thousands or even more Zergs to attack together. Very impressive.”
“Yup, indeed, it’s about the same as what we predicted.” The Bureau Chief nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, Earth might have already been exposed to the sight of the Zergs?”
“Basically so.” Zhang Yi said, “I am trying to decipher some of the information contained in the genes. Currently, I have already deciphered a little bit of it.”
“Yup, how is it?” The Bureau Chief asked, “What did you find?”
Zhang Yi looked for a while, then put down the test tube and said, “The information isn’t very good. The function of this bug is something like that of a scout. Therefore, if there are Zergs near our planet, they should already be on their way here. As for how long they will take to get here, that’s hard to say. If fast, they may be here in half a month or so. If slow, maybe one or two hundred years. Of course, if there’s no Zergs nearby, there won’t be any problem.”
“This really isn’t a good piece of news.” The Bureau Chief touched his chin and said, “Alright, continue with your research, I shall go report this first—looks like the nuclear bombs we created may really come in useful, after all.”
Leaving Zhang Yi’s laboratory, the Bureau Chief took in a deep breath.
Ever since they discovered the Zerg corpse, the first thing that the Bureau Chief did was to ask Zhang Yi to ensure whether there would be any communication between this Zerg and the rest. Currently speaking, the result wasn’t very good—this could be considered to be the worst-case scenario already, right?
Walking into an empty conference room, the Bureau Chief took out a holographic projection communication device. Very quickly, the mysterious man’s projection appeared and asked, “Wu Di, how’re things there? Is there any result yet?”
“Yes, there is.” The Bureau Chief sighed and said, “The worst kind of result. Once this Zerg body has been exposed, its genes had started to communicate with the main body of Zergs. If we are lucky and there isn’t any Zergs nearby, things would still be okay. But if we are unlucky, the Zerg army should already be on the way to Earth. Also, Zhang Yi said that the gene structure of the Zerg race is very unique, they can cooperation in thousands at the same time under the command of one leader. Which means to say that the number of this Zerg army may be very massive.”
“OK, I got it.” The mysterious man softly nodded. Then, he shook his head and gave a bitter smile. “Looks like we are in for big trouble.”
“That’s right.” The Bureau Chief helplessly said, “Now, I am not sure if we stand a chance against the Zerg race at all. A small part of that Zerg’s corpse has been used for nuclear research, but the results are very dampening.” Speaking up to this point, the Bureau Chief frowned and said, “The effect of nuclear bombs on these Zergs might be very poor.”
“Those words are for the later phase.” The mysterious man was having a headache now too.
The technological advancements on Earth were improving very fast now. But just at this moment, the Zerg army was actually coming here!
With Earth’s current strength, it was very difficult for them to resist the Zerg race!
“How’s progress at Chuyin’s side?” The mysterious man thought for a while and asked, “Has she analyzed the compositions of the Valsion? Can it be mass-produced?”
“Not yet.” The Bureau Chief shook his head and said, “This thing is very strange, there are a lot of unknown codes mixed in it. With Earth’s current technology, we are unable to analyze it yet.”
“In that case.” The Mysterious man sighed and said, “Against the Zeg race, other than nuclear weapons, only Chuyin stands a chance?”
“Teacher Wang might be able to fight them too, but his mecha belongs to the close combat type. Against the Zergs, I reckon its effect is only average.” The Bureau Chief thought for a while and suddenly said, “Instead, if we can repair the energy core for the Thunder Angel, it might be useful against the Zergs.”
“Hm, that’s not possible yet.” The mysterious man nodded and said, “Let’s try our best. Oh right, have we gained contact with Dali?”
“Not yet. But Deca came back once.” The Bureau Chief replied, “Deca said that they have successfully arrived on Silver-blue super-planet. I reckon with Dali’s luck, he should be having quite a fun time there.”
“This little rascal.” The mysterious man smilingly scolded. “He is lucky wherever he goes, that is really something to be envious about. Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Try to improve on our technology as best as we can. We are unsure when the Zergs will be sure, this is not something we can control. All we can do now is to do our best.”
“OK.” The Bureau Chief nodded and said, “I shall go over to Chuyin’s side and see how she’s doing.”
“Go.”
Basement on the fifth floor, inside Lin Chuyin’s Photon Force Laboratory.
Currently, Lin Chuyin was researching on a device about half a human tall. Tens of energy gemstones were embedded on this device. Overall, this device looked really weird.
This device was the High-Energy Electronic Collision Machine. What’s more, it was a High-Energy Electronic Collision Machine enhanced with twelve energy gemstones!
This was going to be the energy engine for the Valsion!
Being a technological geek, and a military technological geek at that, Lin Chuyin naturally wouldn’t just leave such a powerful mecha alone.
Therefore, this device was created…
“Chuyin.” Once the Bureau Chief walked in and saw Lin Chuyin, he smiled and asked, “What are you researching on?”
“Oh, the energy engine.” Lin Chuyin was holding a welding gun and welding the pieces together bit by bit. “Dali left behind quite a number of energy gemstones. I embedded all of them onto this energy engine.”
“How’s the effect?” The Bureau Chief stood at the side and looked at Lin Chuyin welding the energy stones. “Compared to the original power, how much is it enhanced now?”
“About 424.5%.” Lin Chuyin insipidly replied, “The power of the weapons will be improved by quite a bit. It’s a pity that there isn’t any target to experiment on.”
“So high!?” The Bureau Chief surprisingly said, “With this thing, won’t your Valsion be extremely formidable against the Zergs?”
“Currently, that’s hard to say.” Lin Chuyin said, “I will only know the effect after I have the time to try it.”
Have time to try it… Will Earth be able to withstand it?
The Bureau Chief instantly burst out in sweat and hurriedly changed the topic. “Ah, haha, no rush, there’s no rush to try it. Chuyin.” The Bureau Chief paused for a while, then slowly asked, “The Zergs might be here any moment. Currently on Earth, only your Valsion is capable of fighting against them. Are you afraid?”
“Afraid?” Lin Chuyin tilted her head and asked, “What is that?”
Alright, I forgot that this lass doesn’t have any emotions…
“Nothing much, nothing much.” It was easy for him to become a vegetative person being with Lin Chuyin. The Bureau Chief didn’t think that he was as capable as Hong Dali and therefore, hurriedly retreated. “Continue busying yourself with your stuff. Remember to rest early, don’t tire yourself out.”
“Oh, I know.” Lin Chuyin didn’t even turn around and continued to weld…
…
Tianjing City, Hongwu Villa.
Recently, for the past two days, Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi were staying inside the villa all day and didn’t go anywhere.
They pushed away many important meetings and conferences too.
For this couple, Hong Dali entering the Universe was like a part of their heart had disappeared. They didn’t have the interest or passion to do anything now.
“Ruoxi.” The two of them laid on the bed and Hong Weiguo softly said, “I wonder how Dali is doing over there. Sigh, this little rascal, I really can’t stop worrying about him.”
“That’s right.” Lan Ruoxi rested her head on Hong Weiguo’s shoulder, closed her eyes, and gently said, “Our little prodigal isn’t an ordinary person wherever he goes to. I just hope that he won’t be in any trouble over there…”
“Probably not.” Hong Weiguo smiled and said, “Deca came yesterday and said that Dali is mingling well over there. I reckon that with Elder Mo Tianji’s identity, Dali won’t be bullied over there. Mo Tianji is a Galaxy Aristocrat, after all.”
“That’s right.” Lan Ruoxi gave a faint sigh and said, “I hope that he is playing happily over there…”
“He probably won’t be having a bad time.” Hong Weiguo hugged Lan Ruoxi into his arms and gently said, “This child won’t lose out no matter where he goes. The people around him are all very formidable, too. There probably won’t be any problem.”
“Yup, safety is a fortune.” Lan Ruoxi nodded, softly closed her eyes, smiled, and said, “It’s fine as long as he’s safe.”
…
Earth, on the peak of a certain mountain amongst Tianjing Mountain’s many mountains.
Wang Daoming sat on the ground with his legs crossed, palms resting on his legs and facing upwards. He was practicing the martial arts on the “Demon Fantasy Record”.
Previously, he only learned the external skills. As for the internal skills, he only learned a bit. This was because his strength wasn’t enough for him to learn the very deep and advanced internal energy skills previously.
But things were different now. Wang Daoming’s external skills had already reached a pinnacle, and there was practically no room left for improvement anymore. Also, being an old man, his inner mind was much more peaceful and stable compared to when he was young. Naturally, he was suitable to learn inner energy skills now.
“Big Grandfather.” At this moment, Little Bai Hechou grinned and ran up to him and climbed onto his legs. He said, “Are you practicing inner energy again?”
“You little rascal, you even come to disturb me when I am practicing the inner energy.” Wang Daoming smilingly scolded. “Do you believe that I will spank your backside?”
“Big Grandfather adores me too much to do that.” Little Bai Hechou’s only had 10 years of lifespan, so he grew very quickly. Now, he already had the intelligence of a six-year-old child. While pulling Wang Daoming’s beard, he laughed and said, “Big Grandfather, Aunt Xiao Yi called me just now. She said that she made new progress and intends to experiment on me, hehe.”
“She wants to experiment on you again!” Wang Daoming angrily stared his eyes wide and blew into his beard. “This rascal lass, her experiments are never-ending! Did she said what effects there will be this time?”
“She didn’t.” Little Bai Hechou thought for a while and said, “But she said that it will make me become even more powerful.”
“It’s fine as long as there isn’t any danger.” Wang Daoming twitched his lips and said, “How’s your practice going with the skills I taught you?”
“I remembered all of it. But I feel that,” Little Bai Hechou grinned and said, “those techniques aren’t very useful. They are just for show.”
“Practice the pose first before the martial arts.” Wang Daoming dotingly patted Little Bai Hechou’s head and said, “After you are well practiced with it, you can forget the poses.”
Little Bai Hechou vigorously nodded. “Okay!”
