Him and their stars

"Those profit-seeking vendors in the Alliance were responsible for the slug disease in the first place!" Lieutenant General Luo Ruian cursed in a low voice: "...could this incident also be a conspiracy of the Alliance?"

Of course, this was just rhetoric, in fact, even he himself didn’t believe it. However, for an imperial noble, it is also politically correct to doubt the Alliance and scorn the Alliance.

Oops, I miss Shi AA and its friends a little bit. Yu Lian thought. Last month I heard from Liuli that their number had expanded to more than 2,000. Liuli is already considering ordering two more large ecological fish tanks from the alliance. Yu Lian thought.

In short, with the help of these space slugs, a rudimentary network of biological neurons has been established. Red Star Design Institute officially has a central processing unit with super computing power comparable to that of a future laboratory.

Professor Zhuang and Professor Zinov are gearing up to lead Fatty Dabai and the others to turn some of Yu Lian's ideas into reality step by step...

It’s just that we can’t insult our slug friends like this! They are a serious civilized race, but they are completely different from biological weapons like puppet insects.

Yu Lian felt that he still needed to clear up the source of his slug friends, and said: "As far as I know, there are not a few space aliens with the ability to be parasitic, and some can even infect parasites and turn them into the source of diseases. "

Regarding this kind of problem, the Alliance has also produced some famous horror movies such as "Aliens from Planet

However, many pioneers who have participated in planet exploration and development know that many scenes in the movie are not fiction, but are documentaries at all.

The "Alien" that Yu Lian had watched in his previous life was similar in this world, and it was considered a relatively mild alien species.

Whether it's an infectious disease or ecological imbalance, isn't that much more powerful than a bunch of large predators?

Lieutenant General Luorian glanced at Yu Lian and snorted: "But epidemics and explosions are different, Colonel."

"Indeed, the virus that makes people explode is not naturally occurring. Someone discovered it, someone created it, and someone used it, right? General." Yu Lian looked directly at the other person with a smile on his lips.

Lieutenant General Luo Ruian didn't get angry, he just smiled and didn't answer. Although he looked very well-mannered, he was basically covering up his embarrassment with a smile. Anyway, there were already several adjutants, guards, and other young officers at the scene who couldn't hide their evil faces.

Indeed, in this universe, there is indeed a "desperate virus" that activates, amplifies and even intensifies the biological energy of cells of carbon-based organisms and turns it into explosives. The developer is the origin of the Third Galactic War, and the Ero people are almost regarded as the number one villain race in the entire galaxy. This is one of their most heinous crimes.

This virus is called the "Nightmare Virus" by the Eero people themselves. It also has other weird names on the road, such as "Corpse Explosion Virus", "Undead Disaster Virus", "Fire Demon Virus" and so on.

However, the Empire really has no qualifications to take responsibility for the Aero people in this regard. You know, after thoroughly understanding the production technology of this "nightmare virus", the Tiruiro people have come up with tricks to play with them. What kind of virus missiles or virus cannons? The virus team jumps in front of the enemy. In that era of barbaric conquest, the per capita Class A war criminals simply insulted the decisiveness of the empire's decision-makers.

However, the technology of this "nightmare virus" is indeed a bit too inhumane. Faced with the tragic situation caused by the biological bomb, even the bloodless and tearless military nobles of Tirero could not help but be moved.

Ever since, after the extremely honorable Sword Emperor Reinalt II came to the throne, he took the lead in the Galactic Civilization Council and asked all countries in the galaxy to sign a "Biological Weapons Ban Convention", which excluded The first one on the banned list is this terrible desperate virus.

This was already more than 500 years ago.

This does seem to be a bit over-the-top, but it must be admitted that the signing of this convention is generally good news for the people of the entire galaxy. From now on, ordinary people at least don't have to worry about a passerby suddenly booming.

Besides, you really don’t have to worry about this thing spreading to the underworld. As we all know, in a sense, the threshold for biological weapons is even higher than nuclear weapons, especially the king of biological weapons like the nightmare virus. Unless it is a technologically advanced country with considerable size, it is simply impossible to produce it.

However, the tragic situation before Admiral Selerius made everyone finally recall the panic caused by the unrestricted war of the nightmare virus. Everyone is also reminded that the Ero people, the culprits who "created" all this, are not always lingering in the heart of the galaxy?

"So, is it a combination of the Extremis virus and the parasitic alien species?" Brunhilt pondered.

"Yes, it's not even just that..." Yu Lian pretended to be thinking hard, and then frowned and said: "General Cereliu's state before his death has been explained in great detail. If it is just a parasite, , maybe you can control his body, but how can you take over the authority of the fire control department through his terminal? I think even the commander himself needs a password to enter the central control backend of the fortress, right?"

"You need a password, fingerprint, voiceprint and retina." Brigadier General Ostana said.

Admiral Farrell mused: "Your Excellency Celerius is an old-school soldier, he just remembers the password."

The implication is that he is an old-school soldier and is not used to holding an information terminal and swiping around. Of course, for security reasons and the commander's duty, I must have remembered the password.

"Next time, we should consider adding mental appraisal to the terminal communication permissions of senior officers." Brynhilt said to himself.

"This will involve various miniaturized psychic arrays, and the cost is unreasonable." Admiral Farrell sighed: "However, for us mortals, this is a good thing."

In fact, with the empire's occult reserves, all important officials have been issued amulets that can calm the spirit and protect memory and knowledge. However, judging from the current situation, those gadgets seem to be able to resist external mental and conceptual attacks, but they do not have much effect on physical parasitism.

Yu Lian thought to himself that it wouldn't be that troublesome, as long as the biological monitoring was enhanced. However, the premise is that the biological data of the puppet insect can be obtained. You must know that the main battle bug swarm is not as noisy as a woodchuck when it is sneaking, and the puppet bugs can naturally be quieter than mites in the human body.

"Then, the situation is relatively clear. Your Highness, I estimate that this is very likely a parasitic species that can enter the human body through drinking water or food. In addition to carrying toxins similar to nightmare viruses and eroding biological cells, It can also attach to the parasite, control its actions, and even read its memory and knowledge. This is a fusion of the terminal virus, the parasite protozoa, and..."

She looked at Yu Lian again, smiled and said: "And the unknown thing that parasitized the gravel dragon in Xinyumen, let's tentatively name it the puppet insect. Your Highness, this is a new type that combines the characteristics of these three alien species. Biological weapons!”

She is truly worthy of being the "Lava Sword" and "The Banshee of the Black Tree" in the future! Just based on this subtle intelligence analysis ability, he is definitely worthy of a "terrifying" evaluation.

Of course, Yu Lian still wanted to show his middle finger in the direction of the earth.

Naturally, he submitted a detailed report to the superiors on the whole battle situation before and after Xin Yumen. It stands to reason that apart from Senior Sister Eleanor and Teacher Yang, only the big bosses from the Military Command Headquarters and the National Defense Committee have seen it. However, according to what this smiling guy said, it seems that people are much more familiar with that report than the big guys in the country.

Yu Lian didn't think senior sister, Teacher Yang or even Marshal Paris would leak it. Then, there is only one truth! It must have been leaked by some member of the National Defense Committee...

Gee, what's so surprising about this? Aren’t they all operating normally? Even these operations are still "legal"! The exchange of intelligence between the top levels of the country is the norm. What's more, the bosses above don't even think that his report is very important, and they probably just use it as a supplement.

"Yu Lianqing, the important military information created with your hard work is now in my hands." Brynhilt said with a smile: "Do you feel very disappointed? However, you are a smart person, shouldn't you understand that this is the current situation. When a hero meets a leader who is like an insect, there will only be tragedy, just like the ancient hero from your hometown on Earth, Yue, eh? Yue?"

"'Wings of the Sky', 'Noble Knight' General Yue!" Ostana replied.

"Yes, that noble General Yue, I don't think you will be the protagonist of such a tragedy."

Even Yu Lian took nearly half a minute to realize that the other person should be talking about Yue Wu, Mu Yue Peng and him. In addition, he really didn't expect that even at this time, this girl would not forget to go to the fire!

However, he really has to admit that if he was born as an imperial person, or even if he was an "indigenous", he would definitely be favored by this time.

"You really make me feel ashamed!" Yu Lian blinked his eyes, showing a confused and completely incomprehensible expression.

"There's no point in pretending to be confused like this. Why insult everyone's IQ?" Brynhilt rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, she did not dwell on this issue any longer, but said to everyone: "Well, gentlemen, the situation is now before us. The Lion's Den Fortress has fallen, and the gate of the empire has been lost. I don't know What exactly are those alien species? Whether they are dirty gadgets developed by some shady forces, some unknown evil force, or new technologies mastered by predators. The tragic situation it will cause, everyone You’ve seen it all, right? You don’t want what happened in the Lion’s Den Fortress these days, what happened to Admiral Selerius, to happen everywhere in the empire, right?”

Definitely not. Puppet bugs are not cheap, and an enhanced version that can inject nightmare viruses and read memories and knowledge is even more difficult! Even in the heyday when Charlie had the most horses, she would only try to use them on big shots in politics, business, and the military, scientists, and extraordinary people.

...However, it would be much cheaper if it were just a self-destructing parasite that could be injected with the nightmare virus.

"Inform the Privy Council and the Grand Marshal's Palace of today's affairs... as well as the Wisdom Palace and Tiangongyuan!" Brynhilt ordered again: "Ask them to report the progress of the research on the nightmare virus within twelve hours. Send it to me immediately! Tell them, don’t fool me with high-sounding reasons! They are definitely conducting research! Maybe the antidote is available now!”

Ostana looked at Yu Lian and found that the latter was looking at the sky as if he didn't hear anything.

In fact, not only is there an antidote, but there is even a vaccine. Yu Lian thought. It's just that because the nightmare virus has been banned by various countries, there is no need to put it on the market.

Of course, according to the research results of the later alliance, although the self-destruction virus used by the swarm is indeed derived from the nightmare virus technology of the Eero people, there are still many improvements. However, as long as the source of the virus is determined to be the same, it will only be a matter of time before the Empire, the Alliance, and even the Konomi people, who are good at biotechnology, develop a newer vaccine.

Of course, there is a very real technical problem here. How should we inform everyone of this?

"It's not entirely certain that the viruses used by the heterogeneous species must be nightmare viruses. Of course, it is more likely that they have been strengthened and improved." Ostana said: "Even Tiangongyuan still needs pathogens."

Temporary teammates are smart people, which is indeed a very gratifying thing!

Brunhilt did not answer, but stared at the star map with a heavy face.

Everyone knows that the so-called pathogens must be present in the Lion's Den Fortress. But now there is a very subtle detail problem, the predator fleet is also there. Moreover, when the Yongjin and the garrison fleet were severely damaged and withdrawn from the battlefield, our own military strength was actually at a disadvantage.

And that's not all the bad news.

"Now, the resistance on the far side of the planet has stopped. The street fighting inside the fortress is still continuing. Brigadier General Kesore sent an emergency message in five minutes, saying that he still has more than 100,000 officers and soldiers under his command who can fight, and he vows to fight Until the last soldier, we will live and die together with the fortress." Ostana smiled.

Generally speaking, the so-called "to live and die with such-and-such a place" is translated as "I am in such-and-such a place now, come and save me!" Yu Lian couldn't help but think with malice. No, Brynhilt next to him also showed a rather unhappy expression, obviously thinking the same thing.

"However, they still sent real-time information on the enemy's situation... The Marauders are continuing to increase their troops. So far, the number of Dreadnought-class fire-breathers and assault ships has reached twenty-four, and the rest of various large and small ships have Thousands of ships.”

Well, just to make a casual estimate, even taking into account the performance of the ship and the eliteness of the crew, the total combat power is at least twice that of ours. Yu Lian thought.

"Now that the Marauders have reached such a fleet size, they may have begun to divide their forces and launch large-scale plundering in the surrounding star fields." Yu Lian said to himself what Brunhilt didn't want to hear the last thing. if.

The latter immediately glared at Yu Lian angrily: "Say something constructive!"

After all, I am also a member of the Earthlings' observation group. To put it bluntly, I am just a bystander. How can I have any constructive opinions on the election of an emperor for an empire? You don't pay me a salary.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian casually said: "Isn't the top priority the most important thing to do, is to minimize the damage?"

Brunhild held his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded: "This sounds like a human saying! Then, as fast as possible, go straight to the Lion's Den Fortress and defeat the predator fleet. That’s enough for the main force, right?”

She took a deep breath and smiled at Yu Lian: "Sure enough, people just need to do what they are best at!"
