Walk alone in the abyss

It’s true, the more you worry about something, the more it will happen.

The first emergency situation is related to Yang Ming himself.

A leak occurred in the Sherman Empire's special forces. A piece of information was directly dumped on the black market intelligence trading network and has been known to the intelligence agencies of various countries.

This information mentioned 'Kigrove', 'Valkyrie Project', 'Valkyrie', 'Ancient God Gene and Human Gene Fusion Transformation Experiment', and 'Artificial Ancient God'.

I don’t know who made the speculation, but the information also mentioned:

[Now there are good reasons to suspect that the Sherman Empire has used the genes of the Valkyrie, an ancient god's life form that can stabilize the humanoid form, to conduct experiments on strengthening warrior transformation. 】

This made Yang Ming and Lu break into a cold sweat.

Of course, Ritsu had no cold sweat, and at most he was leaking a little bit of the mastermind's liquid metal coolant.

Regarding this matter, Yang Ming could only wait and watch from afar.

What can he do?

There was a big problem in the internal management of the Sherman Empire, which absorbed the special forces from Ji Ge's remaining research team and made such a big mistake. It was impossible for him to go to the Sherman Empire's special forces to improve discipline.

The second emergency situation is related to the safety of Luofeng Empire.

According to the intelligence intercepted by Law, the New Federal CIA launched an operation plan called "Gray Moth". The participants in the operation are unknown and the specific mission content is unknown.

The only thing that can be determined is that there are more than a dozen CIA operators driving a well-concealed new federal exploration ship to conduct a simple survey of unmanned planets in the Fallen Empire.

If Yang Ming had not gone to the New Federation to visit, he would have thought that this was another action by the New Federation to subvert the Luofeng royal family.

Now, Yang Ming knew it.

These garbage Federals will soon be burying bugs in Luofeng territory!

According to Lu's inference, after they buried the bugs in Luofeng territory, they would not wait too long before prompting the bugs to hatch to verify the effectiveness of their tactics.

Because Hera did not want to participate in anything other than scientific research, Yang Ming hurriedly returned to the Feinan, connected to Dabiqi via video, and began to urgently discuss countermeasures.

——Dabiqi is a mechanical thinking body that came out of the dark star. Knowing Yang Ming’s top secret, he can naturally participate in the discussion of this matter.

Compared with it, Gudun Maha has not yet entered Yang Ming's inner circle of secrets.

Ritsu and 026 each sat on the pressure plate of the tracked robot that had turned around, and Dabiqi's projection appeared opposite them.

At this moment, Dabiqi, who was directly connected to the Feinan with his original appearance, was saying slowly:

“The difficulty now is that although Luofeng only has eleven administrative stars and five main administrative stars, the airspace involved by Luofeng is too large, and there are almost uninhabited planets everywhere.

"According to our current strength, unless a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, it will be difficult to capture the opponent's transport ship delivering bugs.

"The cost of a full-domain defense system is huge and the deployment time will be long. It is not realistic to consider now."

Yang Ming leaned back in his chair, his brain thinking.

In terms of personal combat effectiveness, he is still somewhat confident now.

But when it comes to the national strength of the Luofeng Empire... it's a bit difficult to describe.

"The Federalists are determined to kill me."

Yang Ming raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "Lu, is it possible to get more information?"

Lu explained:

"Boss, I just accidentally captured some confidential information. This is also based on the fact that when new federal agents repeatedly penetrated the Luofeng Empire, I marked some agent targets.

"With the continuous mobilization of new federal agents, my ability to monitor them is gradually declining. When they leave the small countries near the Fallen Empire, it will also become very difficult to monitor the networks near them.

"According to my speculation, the egg delivery plan should be carried out by a very small number of senior CIA agents, and many people will have their memories wiped.

"This is a long-term plan related to the national destiny of the new federation."

026 asked in a low voice: "What if we launch Luofeng civilian ships and monitor each star field together?"

"That would expose our existence. Luofeng shouldn't know that there is such a thing as 'human beings raising bugs' right now," Lu reminded. "The reason why we can maintain an advantage in the face of new federal agents is because we are in the dark. , they are relatively out in the open and relatively arrogant.”

Dabiqi said: "Boss, maybe we can build a simplified global defense system."

Yang Ming suddenly became interested: "Simplified defense system? How do you say it?"

"Based on the information given by the goddess, we can actually make a few simple speculations."

Dabiqi spoke slowly, with a bit of thinking in his eyes.

"First of all, assuming that the other party is a transport ship transporting the Queen Mother Insect and some of the eggs, this transport ship must not have any traces of the New Federation.

"Secondly, the Zerg feed on radiation. To ensure their normal development, they must either get close to the core of the planet, enter the interior of a rocky or gaseous planet, or get close to a star.

"The environment inside a gaseous planet is too harsh, and it is difficult for first-order insects to survive. To drill into a rocky planet, you must carry a large machine similar to a planetary transformation system.

"If it is close to the star, for example, arranging a shallow base on the surface of the first planet outside the star is the lowest cost and easiest to implement method."

Yang Ming said: "You mean to screen the planets first and then conduct simple deployment and control?"

"Yes, Father."

Dabiqi immediately said:

"Since the other party wants to attack, they must choose an uninhabited planet that can threaten the Luofeng administrative planet. We can use the star systems where the administrative stars are located as key control areas, and the closer star systems as ordinary control areas.

"Since the global defense system is troublesome, we will use simple sensors and detection devices to monitor."

Law reminded: "To monitor a planet, we need at least five monitoring satellites. According to a rough estimate, we need at least 600 monitoring satellites. Moreover, if the other party finds these satellites, they will definitely adjust the landing point."

Yang Ming made the chair turn half a circle, constantly calculating in his heart.

It is one thing to spend a lot of money on 600 monitoring satellites, but it is another thing to get them out in a short time.

Even if it is purchased through international channels, it will take at least half a year.

The problem now is that Luofeng's foundation is too poor, and the new federation launched an attack too quickly.

The New Federation might bury the bugs in a few days, and the only thing our side can do now is to let the warships patrol everywhere.

Law suddenly asked: "Boss, through Miss Hera's sensory ability, can I feel the presence of bugs at close range?"

"She's just passively receiving information now."

Yang Ming shook his head slightly, with a faint light shining in his eyes, he said again: "Lü, you mean to let her know my identity on the surface?"

"Yes, boss," Li said, "If the boss doesn't allow it, she has no chance to leave, let her know that there is no risk."

Yang Ming hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded calmly: "Yes, you can make arrangements and see what she can do."

Law's projection shook slightly and disappeared immediately.

"No matter what, we can't sit still," Yang Ming said, "026 draws up a notice and asks the 3rd, 4th, and 6th Fleets to send formations to patrol around Luofeng 11 administrative stars."

"Yes, boss!"

026 responded meticulously, and then began to bow his head and get busy.

Darbic said: "Father, I will continue to look up the information on the galactic civilization's fight against bugs throughout the history. This may give us some inspiration."

"Thanks for your hard work," Yang Ming squinted and smiled.

When Dabiqi's figure disappeared, Yang Ming sighed softly.

026 asked in a low voice: "Boss, what's wrong?"

"It's too weak," Yang Ming said, "I went to the New Federation, only to find that Luofeng is backward in all aspects. If it weren't for the ships eliminated by the Sherman Empire, Luofeng would not be able to have a decent fleet."

"But the boss."

026 thought carefully, and whispered:

"No matter how weak Luofeng is, it is still a country with its people and culture. The invasion of the new federation is unjust and doomed to fail."

Yang Ming could only laugh without saying a word.

"By the way 026, your hometown is on the fifth administrative planet?"

"Yes boss."

026 said worriedly: "The rebels there are still stubbornly resisting. Many people's lives have been affected, and several cities have fallen into chaos. I heard that various crimes occur every day. The desperate rebels are already a little crazy."

Yang Ming smiled and said: "After finishing the Zerg matter, I will let the Sixth Fleet put down the rebels. I planned a military expansion plan before, and wanted to use the fifth administrative planet as a training ground."

"Boss, just go as planned." 026 was a little panicked, "I just... just made some random remarks."

Yang Ming asked: "Have you been practicing the mecha recently?"

"Yeah!" 026 said earnestly, "I want to join the battle early, Sister Li is helping me modify two sets of mechas, which can be directly connected to my back."

Yang Ming almost laughed out loud.

With her soft temperament, going to the battlefield to kill the enemy... well, it can indeed increase the enemy's fighting spirit to charge forward.

...

Luofeng?

Zerg?

Palace cannon?

Hera lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, these messages kept flashing through her mind.

Originally, the shadow of secret agent Alex in her mind gradually became blurred, but now it gradually became clear again.

Hera who suddenly learned of this information, after careful consideration, found that the fog on Yang Ming's body was not dispelled, but became more dense.

He's from Sherman Empire?

Is there any ulterior purpose for such a powerful reinvented person to hang out in a poor and backward dependent country like the Luofeng Empire?

Or did he simply want to protect the country from being invaded by the new federation?

Hera tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up and went to the closet, grabbed a long coat and put it on herself, and sat back at the desk.

Turn on the projection screen, search the database, and information about the Zerg pops up one by one.

The mysterious assistant who gave her these messages also briefly reminded her.

If she can link to the information network of the insect swarm, it means that she may be able to find the location of the mother insect. — just like a normal Zerg individual.

The information on the projection screen flicked across quickly, and Hera kept browsing.

The historical data of human civilization's fight against the Second Disaster at the present stage of the Milky Way can be traced back to the time when the Sherman Empire first rose tens of thousands of years ago.

The swarm activities have large periodicity and small periodicity.

The small periodicity means that every 300 to 700 years, the Zerg will enter an active period of up to 100 years.

The big periodicity means that in units of ten thousand years, the Zerg will have an intensive outbreak period, and now it happens to be in a non-intensive outbreak period.

Possibility of speaking directly with the swarm...

Hera kept thinking, making some notes from time to time.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep on the edge of the table, tiredness written all over her little face.

In the corridor, Yang Ming strolled over.

Yang Ming waited by the side for a while, asked the law to control the robot to bring the sleeping reagent, sprayed Hera's nose, then started to hug her horizontally, and carefully sent her back to the bed.

She is so light.

Yang Ming helped her cover her with a blanket, and went to the sofa not far away by himself.

...

"Now let's discuss."

In the corner of the bridge of the flat transport ship floating in the interstellar wilderness, seven middle-aged men and women gathered together, mostly with very relaxed expressions.

The Luofeng Empire's entire star map appeared on the sand table they surrounded, and more than a dozen planets were specially marked.

"After our preliminary survey, these planets are suitable as burial sites."

"We must complete the mission as quickly as possible, throw these ghost things on the target planet, and then leave as quickly as possible."

"Don't be nervous, we have erased all elements related to us. This is a semi-abandoned transport ship from a small country. It was just accidentally captured by bugs floating in the starry sky."

"Don't mention that word!"

A woman seemed agitated, and the seven of them were silent for a while.

Soon, someone said again: "Choose a place at random, Luofeng can't have any defenses."

"Well, there won't be any records for this operation, and we will also perform amnestic surgery," one person said, "Take this as an ordinary task and perform it for the happiness of more people."

"How about this planet? The star system located near Ilando star, when a disaster erupts, can directly threaten Ilando star."

"There will be warship patrols here from time to time, and it is easy to detect abnormalities. I heard from my superiors that it only takes a few months for these ghosts to quickly develop a group with the ability to cross star systems."

"It can't be too far away from their administrative planet. Don't forget, if these things have the ability to jump space, then their population must already be very large."

"What about here?"

Several people kept giving their favorite bug burial spots, but they were rejected one by one.

"How about this planet? The abandoned resource star is located near the fifth administrative planet. According to our investigation, there has never been a trace of warship visits here. It is far away from commercial roads and has no value."

"It's nice here."

"It's just in the region of gravitational instability."

"It's really good. Let's zoom in on the terrain... There are many river valleys here, and the atmosphere is relatively thick. It's a good place. The point is, it's relatively hidden here, and it's not too far away from the administrative planet."

"The equipment on this ship will not have any problems sending the female worms to the mantle layer."

"Just here, plan the channel and prepare for the jump!"

then.

Seven galactic hours later.

026. Lu's projection, Dabic's projection, standing in front of the main projection screen of Feinan, they looked at the radar data from the Dark Star base and the large transport ship appearing on the edge of the radar map, and tilted their heads at the same time.

The great Zerg Queen successfully arrived at the outskirts of the Dark Star with her ship of bug eggs.
