I Am the Swarm

"Is this true?" After watching the video, Your Excellency the Speaker rubbed his face with his hands. The scene in it is like a science fiction movie. Now that he is told that this is reality, he still can't accept it.

"It's normal to have some doubts. We once doubted the authenticity of this video. However, after testing by our experts, there is no trace of modification or post-processing in the video, and there is also a cat-eared spaceship hidden in the video. Artificial intelligence Celia's verification code, the authenticity can be guaranteed."

"What can it bring us?"

"a lot of."

"for example?"

"We organized a team of experts to simulate the ecological environment of the T853 planet by studying the video and text data sent back by the cat-ear spacecraft. Except for this creature, all other creatures can perfectly fit into this ecology. Medium." General Monroe paused and continued:

"So, this creature was not born in the current ecological environment. It may have been born earlier, in the last ecological cycle of planet T853, or from other places. After careful calculation, we are more inclined to the former, Because this creature does not have the strength of interstellar travel from the displayed ability."

"Therefore, we speculate that it is a species of super ancient times, and it is a living fossil." General Monroe stopped suddenly after speaking. Only then continued: "Its body may hide the secret of longevity."

Delrin somewhat understood the reason why the military was so careful. These things were indeed shocking. His breathing also became rapid.

"Then what do you mean by coming to me? It's hard for me to help you other than discussing military expenses." Delrin's mood is a bit complicated. Although the technology of the Ricken tribe has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past century, even if the speaker's term is over, he will There are only 20 years left.

After he resigned from office, it would be difficult for him to participate in and share a share of the benefits even if he gained any benefits on planet T853.

However, since Monroe came to him and showed him such confidential information, it must be useful to his place. Now it depends on how the other party bids.

"We need to organize a large expedition to the T85 system."

"Large? How big?"

"Millions of people."

When Speaker Delrin heard this number, he almost fell off his chair in shock. He asked in surprise, "How much?"

"Your Excellency Speaker, you heard me right. The military is planning to organize an expedition of millions of people." General Monroe didn't care about Your Excellency the Speaker's gaffe. After all, the number was indeed a bit large. It is also in a similar state.

"It's impossible. With the strength shown by that creature, and with our current armaments, we only need a 300-meter ordinary-class warship to handle it easily. With it, it's not enough to launch an expedition." Speaker Delrin He said angrily, "You guys are fantasizing. Even if I agree, those congressmen will not agree, and the public will not agree."

An expedition of millions of people, just hearing this number, even if Delrin is not a professional economics background, he knows that this requires an astronomical amount of start-up funds.

Even if Parliament passes it all, the taxpayers will flatten the Houses of Parliament.

This is simply an impossible plan.

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, Your Excellency the Speaker. Naturally, it is impossible in the current bad environment, but what if the aliens make the first move and we are forced to fight back?"

"Are you planning to fabricate an alien civilization?" Delrin began to think about the feasibility of doing so, but after thinking about it, he still felt that the success rate was extremely low.

"It's not a fiction. Your Excellency, Speaker, you can watch this video and information again."

Seeing that Monroe took out another mini memory, Delrin was a little speechless. He took the memory and inserted it into the computer, and started playing some audio materials.

The video is very incoherent, and it looks like it has been edited. The above content is exactly the information transmitted by Captain Reggie when the swarm attacked the cat-ear spacecraft and the stored energy was exhausted.

"This is...?" In the video, he could barely recognize Captain Reggie of the cat-eared spaceship and Professor Root, the chief scientific advisor. This was because they had appeared in the last video he just watched. Otherwise, even they, His Excellency the Speaker, would not be able to recognize them.

After all, to him, both of them belonged to the previous generation.

"This is the last video data sent back from the cat-ear spacecraft. The data was seriously lost, so after some editing, all the barely recognizable images were intercepted to form this video." Monroe's calm voice became serious:

"From these stuck pictures, it is speculated that an alien force attacked them and intercepted the messages they sent. I am afraid that the cat-ear spacecraft is already in danger."

"sure?"

Monroe nodded affirmatively.

"Is it the native civilization of the T85 galaxy or the cat-ear spacecraft attacked by outsiders?"

"This is not certain, but there is a high probability that it is a hidden force in the local area. Judging from their need to sneak attack on the cat's ear spacecraft, their technological strength is much worse than ours. According to the analysis of the military staff, they are nothing to worry about. A large-scale expedition would suffice to conquer them."

"But just because they attacked our spacecraft, this kind of loss is difficult for the people to accept the expedition of millions of people." Speaker Delrin still has some doubts. This kind of loss in other galaxies is difficult for Riken The people of the clan feel the pain. It is almost impossible for them to tighten their belts and spend money to build an expedition fleet.

"They will agree, but it will take some work. When the time comes, please help me, Speaker."

Seeing that Delrin was still hesitating, he added: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, we have quite a lot of allies. You know, there is a life star there. With our current technology, just a little modification, we can Adapt to our Rickon life. That's no man's land, you know what I mean?"

Delrin was like thunder, and his whole body was shocked.

Yes, there is a life star there. If countless families and consortiums know about this, they must break their heads and build a family enclave there.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and it is difficult for the Federation to govern. Even the colonies that the Rikens rebuilt on the nearby planets decades ago are now fighting for independence, let alone other star systems.

These guys fight aliens, capture and study ancient creatures are just incidental, but the real purpose is to go there to become the emperor? Delrin quickly understood their intentions.

Thinking about it this way, there are indeed many natural allies, but if one is not good, it is easy to be lost, and it will be written into history, leaving a bad reputation for thousands of years. But if he disagrees, I am afraid that the position of speaker will be changed in less than four years' time.
