Starting from Zero

When I returned to that special room, there was already a large group of Dragon Clan members gathered here, and many of them had just taken a sub-orbital transport from the mainland. Here.

Of course, bringing so many people over is not because we are trying to occupy their base, but because the pilgrims need our help to rescue them.

There are many space-time anchor points in this strange X-shaped room, and the reason why they are stuck here is because of the space-time waves generated by a principle similar to resonance between the anchor points. They were stuck in the gap between time and time, and the result was that they could not get out at all.

Solving this trouble is actually not difficult, because only the anchor point needs to be lifted. But these pilgrims have not been able to open this anchor for so many years, not that they are stupid, but because this kind of thing is like holding one's own hair and lifting oneself, no matter how old you are. The strength is impossible to do this.

These pilgrims are stuck in the cracks of time, so they simply cannot touch the anchor point, and if they can touch the anchor point, they don’t want to remove the anchor point. This infinite loop is reversed. They simply can't save themselves, they have to rely on outsiders to help them out.

The space-time anchor is not actually a physical existence. It is actually a mixture of gravity waves and dark matter under a set of specific rules. I have not figured out what it is, but it is really possible. Stabilizing time and space can play a role in fixing its own Time Attribute.

To remove the time-space anchor is actually to destroy it, and to destroy the time-space anchor is actually very simple, just destroy its stability. It does not matter whether it is inputting dark matter or extracting dark matter, or increasing or reducing the intensity of gravity waves. Of course, because the space-time anchor itself exists across three time slices, under normal circumstances, gravity waves and dark matter cannot directly enter the space-time anchor. You need to adjust the dark matter or gravity wave to a subspace state before you can Have an impact on it.

Before pilgrims didn’t ask Meilin’s people to help. Firstly, because of communication difficulties, and secondly because the pilgrims thought that the other party was unable to lift the time-space anchor. After all, the most basic thing is to remove the time-space anchor. The condition is to be able to manipulate gravitational waves and dark matter, and the technical level shown by Meilin's people is really incompatible with this ability, so the pilgrims simply disinclined to pay attention to them.

When I got here, several time-space anchors had been unplugged, but there were still a lot of anchor points still existed, so it would take some time to solve it, but with previous experience, Our people already have considerable experience in lifting the time-space anchor, and the speed is obviously faster.

I found the boss of the pilgrims while they were lifting the anchor of time and space. This guy is definitely a high-level existence among this group of pilgrims, and the reason for making this judgment is also very simple, because this guy's equipment is different from ordinary people. The equipment of ordinary pilgrims is roughly the same, even if there are some slight differences, it should be the reason of different arms, but this guy’s equipment is gorgeous and a bit exaggerated, especially the two big horns on both shoulders are erected. Huge protrusions, it is really difficult to confuse them with ordinary pilgrims.

"Sorry, I communicated with our chief here before, but it took a while. I'm very sorry." After bringing the pilgrim chief aside, I communicated with him using dark matter communication.

The pilgrim leader didn't have any ideas. He didn't care about this kind of thing anyway. Besides, my words were mostly polite, and there was nothing to say about being sorry. Without being entangled with me, the other party just cut into the subject very directly and asked: "Then what do you want to tell me when you called me here?"

"Yes. I want to ask. Your future plans."

"Are you planning?" The pilgrim leader seems to be lost in thought. After all, this is not a general problem but a major event directly related to the future of their group of pilgrims. However, although it is a major event, this man is obviously a warrior. He doesn't like procrastination. He just hesitated and said: "I want to know your technical strength first. If possible, we hope to get your help. Let us It is possible to return to the place where our pilgrims live, but to be honest, according to some information we have learned before, there seems to be no such technology on your side."

I nodded and said: "Yes. Yours The demand is not that we don’t want to help, but that we can’t do it at all. In addition, what I uploaded to you when exchanging information was all public content, and some things you don’t know yet."

"What is it? We must know something?"

"It's about a massive planet." I roughly talked about the solar system killer, and then said: "So, we are currently preparing to flee. Other planets, and as far as our technology is concerned, this is actually almost a gamble! Fortunately, with the technology of you and the creators, our odds of winning are great."

" No, you have no chance of winning." The pilgrim leader's answer was decisive, and I was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why he said such an answer.

"Can you elaborate on why?" I looked at the pilgrim leader and asked: "Our technology can basically guarantee the needs of immigrants. Even if some spaceship is lost halfway, most of it will be lost. It’s not a problem for people to get to the destination. As for the issue of civilization restoration, I don’t think it’s too much effort, right? We will bring enough equipment to quickly restore civilization on the primordial planet. As long as there is a set of equipment that can reach the destination, We can fully revive the current Earth civilization within ten to twenty years, and then civilization will start to develop again. I don’t think this seems to be a problem, right? Could it be that our destination is something that is impossible to support life? planet? It should be impossible, right? We have done preliminary exploration before, and the condition of that planet should be able to support the existence of your ecosystem!"

"I simply don't know which planet you are going to. , How is it possible to know if that planet is suitable for your survival?" The pilgrim leader said: "The reason why I say that your impossible success is that you can't reach your destination safely on the road."

" Why?"

"Because of insect race."

"Insect...insect race?" I felt bad when I heard the pilgrim chief. Isn't this a problem of immigration? Why did you even make an insect race?

Probably knowing that I don't understand, so the pilgrim leader began to explain to me. "The information I sent to you before contains information about your origins. Have you seen this part?"

I'm nodded. "I see. We are made by you and the creators."

The pilgrim leader nodded said: "Yes, you are created by our pilgrims and creators. But do you remember what the original development direction of the creators was? I remember and convey it to you."

"It seems to be developing a kind of battle biota called insect race, relying on super strong The ability to reproduce quickly produces a large number of insects, and then floods the enemy with a sea of ​​insects. Is that so?"

The pilgrim leader nodded again, and then added: "In fact, the insect race does not need to be created. Because they exist in the first place."

"What?"

"Don't get excited, listen to me." After comforting me, the pilgrim leader continued:" Insect race actually existed a long time ago. This race entered space much earlier than us and the creators. As for when they entered space, we are not very clear. Anyway, the universe we have been in contact with. Civilization entered space later than insect race, which means that insect race may be the first race in the universe to conquer space."

"This race is so strong? How did you develop it? According to this situation, there are no insects everywhere in the universe?"

"No, on the contrary. Although there are a large number of insect races in the universe and their footprints cover almost all planets in the universe, they are It does not show strong destructiveness to the natural environment. On the contrary, this race is very good at integrating with nature. We still don’t know how the insect race judges whether the creatures and environment on the planet are beneficial to the planet’s biosphere. Anyway, they Will take the initiative to maintain ecological balance. The insect races we have seen only possess very low-level intelligence, so we feel that their behavior should not be judged by themselves. However, it does not rule out that this race has certain natural instincts to restrain them. Deliberately to maintain the natural balance, but we are more inclined to the existence of individuals with high IQ in the insect race."

"What is the individual battle strength of this race?" I suddenly realized a problem.

The pilgrim leader said in general: "It's very strong. There are so many types of insect races that we have not fully confirmed so far. They will adapt and mutate according to various environments, so the types are really good. It is too much to be calculated simply. However, in general, there are several main types of this race, and most individuals are the products of targeted mutation of these main types. However, the mutated individuals and the basic samples have a high degree of similarity. You only need to look at it to know what it was originally changed. There are about fifty types of these main types of insects, among which the weakest battle strength, the most common soldiers among us pilgrims can fight three of them one at a time. But The strongest type can single-handedly challenge our large fleet. The battle strength is extremely sturdy."

"What is your basic battle strength?"

" You are much weaker." The pilgrim leader said: "You don’t have any supporting equipment. If you wear the special combat equipment designed for you, your battle strength is about three to five times that of mine, and I can do it alone. Defeated hundreds of ordinary soldiers of our clan without injury."

"We are so strong?" I looked at my hands in surprise.

The pilgrim leader shook his head and said: "I'm talking about the battle strength after putting on special equipment. It would be nice if you can single out a dozen ordinary soldiers of our race like this now, let alone fight with me. . Definitely two or two to subdue you. In the battle, your thinking is the key, but the equipment is the amplifier of combat thinking. Use the most basic arithmetic methods to calculate. You, the individual is the multiplier, and the weapon is the multiplier. , Product is battle strength. Without suitable weapons, even if your base number is very high, but the magnification is too low, there is still no battle strength at all. I am different. This set on me is my clan’s ruling The official special battle suit, formidable power is unparalleled, you can't beat me empty-handed."

I nodded brought the topic back and said: "Then the insect race is so strong, why didn't you occupy the entire universe?"

"There are three reasons." The pilgrim leader said: "One is that most individuals of this race show a state of mindlessness. As long as they use some very simple strategies, they can be easily The unfavorable situation greatly restricts their battle strength. Because of this situation, every time we face an insect race, we will try to create an environment that is not good for them to play and put them at a disadvantage. Moreover, in fact, it is not only us. Will take the initiative to kill the insect race, almost all civilizations in the universe will take the initiative to hunt down the insect race, because this race is too powerful, so powerful that everyone is afraid."

"Then another What about the two reasons?" I asked seriously.

"One of them is what I told you before. They will actively maintain ecological balance. Therefore, the number of insect swarms in a certain area will not be too high. Because they cannot form a local advantage, they have been In the state of civilization slaughter."

"So there is another reason?"

"Another reason is that the insect race will be divided into groups. When a population reaches a certain level, it Part of it will be separated to form a new population, and then two unused populations will fight each other if they meet. To be honest, although civilizations in the entire universe are strangling insect race, in fact, the number of deaths due to infighting is far more Higher than the part killed by our civilizations."

"That is to say, the insect race limits its population?"

"Yes. Their infighting caused The population of its own cannot be increased, and although these insects are quite strong in battle strength, they are not invincible. Therefore, they cannot have much influence on us without forming a quantitative advantage."

< p>"Then why does it affect our immigration?" To be honest, this is what I care most about.

The pilgrim leader explained: "The insect race is a highly evolved race. Although they don’t have technology... Maybe they have technology, but we don’t know it. Anyway, the low-level insect race does not show any wisdom. , So tentatively thinks they are technologyless. Although this race does not have the power of technology, they have a very high degree of evolution. There is a special detection unit in the swarm that can detect subtle changes in gravity waves. If If you stay on the surface of the planet or the orbit of the planet, the huge gravitational waves of the planet will block the gravitational waves generated by you, and the insect race cannot detect any activity on the surface of the planet or nearby orbits. However, what you have to do is interstellar migration, and This means that you need to go through a long deep-space voyage.

For the insect race, any moving objects that are more than 50 light seconds away from the periphery of Planetary Grade stars can be detected by them, and if the insect In the process of race paying attention to this object, the object shows signs of powered navigation. Insect race will immediately determine that this is not a meteorite, but a living thing, and then they will start hunting."

"Didn't you say that insect race will protect the ecosystem? Why do you now say that they are very bloodthirsty?"

"The two are not contradictory." The pilgrim leader said: "Insect race It protects the ecosystem on the surface of the planet, and the creatures that travel in the universe will be treated by them as other insect swarms invading their territory, so the insect swarms will kill all creatures close to them that control the Star Domain, and they judge the universe When an object is a creature or a meteorite, it depends on whether you have power. If you fly by inertia and do not modify the flight attitude, they will not pay attention to you, but as long as your engine ignites, then you are finished."< /p>

"Good terrifying race! Fortunately, you told us in advance!" I said fearfully. If there is no advance reminder from the pilgrims, in case you really run into an insect race...think about my cold sweat!
