154 The Hidden Swarm(1/2)
Compared with the complete defense system in the New Federation, the Sherman Empire cannot be said to be slightly inferior in this area, it can only be said to be a mess.
This made Yang Luo's team, who were used to stealing things in the New Federation, somewhat uncomfortable at the moment.
"Aren't they afraid that the enemy will attack suddenly?"
Lu whispered:
//There are no gravity detection devices in the gravitational stable zone outside the star. In the airspace close to the administrative star, less than half of the networked detectors have aged to the point of being unusable.
"The radars of the patrol boats we just encountered didn't even turn on to maximum power. Through the portholes, we could see several male crew members drinking and dancing there."
"That's it!"
Yang Luo just asked: "Do you think anyone dares to fight Sherman head-on?"
Lu was immediately speechless.
At this moment, two new 'serious' chairs have been added to the Feinan's bridge.
Yang Luo was in charge of the driving area, 026 was in charge of the fire control area, and Hera temporarily sat behind the operation panel of the ship-based detector, smiling as she watched Yang Luo and Lu complain to each other.
It's been this way all the way.
The chattering virtual assistant and the maintenance man who was optimistic and cheerful but cautious in front of Yang Luo made Hera feel no sense of isolation.
After three galactic days of navigation and more than a dozen roundabout jumps, Feinan has successfully entered the star system where Zubin Star is located.
"Start planning the detection route."
Yang Luo greeted, and Lu immediately opened the three-dimensional star chart, adjusted the ratio between stars and star distances, and condensed as much details as possible of the current star system into a two-meter-diameter projection.
Yang Luo circled two planets.
"They are numbered according to their distance from the star. The nearest planet is target No. 1. It is greatly affected by stars and the detection instruments are prone to deviations."
The farthest planet No. 7 is the second target, which is relatively hidden.
"Planet 6 is a gas giant planet, and the environment inside is very harsh. We have prepared two special drones, which were launched when we passed by before. However, it will take at least ten days to complete the monitoring. There is a high probability that there will not be any there.
Insect eggs, first-order, and second-order insects cannot survive the storm of a gas giant planet."
"Except for Zubin, the other three planets are listed as the third targets and will be explored in order of priority."
026 raised his right hand.
"speak."
026 wondered: "Boss, why don't we explore Zubin?"
Yang Luo smiled and said: "There is a strict defense network on the periphery of the administrative star. Although Zubin star is lonely, the near-planet defense system is still very comprehensive."
"We have to consider the considerations of the New Federation when doing this kind of thing," Lu added. "They are unlikely to take such a huge risk. Once this place is discovered, the entire plan will be exposed."
Hera raised her hand in a decent manner: "I think the more this happens, the more we need to carefully explore Zubin."
Yang Luo asked: "Reason?"
"The steps to place the eggs are carried out by a small group of elite CIA agents."
Hera whispered:
/What the CIA is best at is all-round penetration. If they only transport female worms and not eggs, a container will not be too conspicuous.
Going against logic and taking things by surprise is also the CIA's style.
"They may create the characteristics of darkness under the lights, and although this Zubin star retains the foundation of the defense system, it itself has lost much activity and has a large uninhabited urban area."
"To detect Zubin, we have to get too close to their defense system," Lu thought carefully. "This way we will take greater risks. I suggest that we first carefully detect other planets."
Yang Luo clapped his hands and motioned the three elder sisters to look at him.
He said seriously:
I should be able to sense the Zerg when I'm close to them. In this case, we'll take a multi-pronged approach.
"Lü is responsible for driving and guarding, 026 is responsible for assisting Hera, and Hera is responsible for controlling various detection instruments. I will drive a stealth boat and perform rapid maneuvers on the surface of the planet to see if I can catch a dead mouse."
"This information was obtained by deciphering a document that was not completely deleted by the new federal CIA. The result may not be correct."
"This time, treat it as a vacation. It only lasts for twenty galactic days in total. If you don't gain anything, leave immediately."
"yes!"
Lu and 026 agreed in unison.
Hera nodded slightly to Yang Luo, put on her glasses, and began to adjust the parameters of various detection instruments.
Feinan left the back of the asteroid, looked at Zubin across the stars, and headed straight for target No. 1.
In the bridge, three women were busy dividing their labors.
026 runs around wearing a maintenance worker's large work clothes. In addition to working as a support, he also constantly brings tea, snacks and warmth to Hera.
Lu sat in the captain's seat in a decent manner, and controlled the Feinan to complete various difficult flights and avoid areas where airspace detectors might be present.
Half a day later, Yang Luo drove a small ship and galloped back and forth on the surface of target planet No. 1.
Hera constantly adjusted the nine biological detectors of various types installed on the Feinan, carefully watching the data feedback, and occasionally tried to relax her mind and use her own body to sense it.
After working continuously for more than ten hours, Yang Luo returned to the Feinan.
Target No. 1 is confirmed to be normal.
There was no feedback from the instrument, and Yang Luo and Hera didn't feel anything unusual.
The Feinan began to head towards the target planet No. 2. The three carbon-based life forms on the ship took the time to rest, and the rules worked non-stop around the clock without any blind spots.
Twelve days in a row.
The Feinan circled around in the star system, and Yang Luo flew the small ship for countless thousands of miles.
No trace of bugs.
Not only the planet itself, but also the satellites Yang Luo searched carefully.
The detection drones in the gaseous planet sent back relatively comprehensive data, but also found no traces of the Zerg.
Lu felt that maybe the coordinate point analysis was wrong, or the information itself was misleading.
The tired Hera didn't care to maintain her ladylike image, lying half in a chair with the blanket sent by 026 wrapped around her body. The dark circles under her eyes were already very obvious.
She said slowly:
"There is another possibility that our current detection methods are ineffective."
The Zerg are a very magical collective life form. Their civilization level is actually higher than the human technological civilization of the galaxy. They themselves are the most sophisticated instruments.
"According to past data, when the insect swarm is relatively fragile in the early stage, they will evolve various means to save their lives."
"/There is a connection between insect swarms, this has been proven. In the past two years, dozens of low-level insect swarms have been wiped out, and the remaining insect swarms are likely to have evolved accordingly."
"Well," Yang Luo said with a smile, "these bugs are very smart. Maybe their shells have turned into stone by now."
"026 whispered: Then do we still want to explore Zubin?"
Yang Luo crossed his arms and thought for a while.
"Let's go and investigate," Yang Luo said, "I'm here now."
"Lu smiled and said: "I knew the boss would make such a decision. We have already planned the route map. We can first hack some defense satellites, and then send small stealth ships into the planet's atmosphere. Because we cannot orbit the planet unscrupulously, we must rely on
The small stealth ship is approaching the surface, let’s change the detection method.”
Yang Luo shrugged: "I'm going to continue working hard. If I'm discovered, just turn on the particle transmission machine and pull me back."
"You can't go," Hera said suddenly.
Yang Luo blinked.
Hera would not let personal feelings affect her work. She must have her own reasons for saying this.
Hera sat up and stared at Yang Luo: "Didn't you say that? When you come into close contact with the Zerg, it will trigger a Zerg riot."
"Yes, they will most likely be afraid of me."
"There are tens of millions of people on this administrative star."
Hera said:
//If there is a swarm here, and the number 014 represents the batch of swarms planned to be sown early, and after the stimulation of the past two years, there may already be a high-level queen.
"If they are triggered to riot, it will lead to disaster. The Zerg will kill life forms that are not of its own species. This is their characteristic."
"There is no powerful imperial fleet nearby, and we cannot stop the losses in time after the disaster occurs."
Lu said aside: "I suggest giving up this operation. In this case, even if we find that there are bugs underground on Zubin, the boss will not be able to log in directly to kill the bugs, and the purpose of our coming here will not be achieved."
Hera frowned and looked at Law: "Why give up? If there are really bugs here, we can also notify the empire and save tens of millions of human lives."
Ludao: "My personal emotional tendency is naturally to save lives, but this has nothing to do with the boss's core interests. We still have to bear a lot of risks. We can find a way to let the empire dig up the planet.
On the surface, search and verify bit by bit.”
026 tried to interject: "that"
