I Am the Swarm

Although the Euglena integrates a variety of observation organs, due to its small size, its performance is limited after all. When the fleet came from the side, the Euglena did not find it.

But when the fleet passed by, the blue light of their engines was too conspicuous. After the eyeworm found something abnormal, it immediately issued an alarm.

Afterwards, the eyeworms in front of the fleet focused their cameras and monitored the whole process.

But Luo Wen, who saw all this through the eyesight of the eyeworm, had a lot of question marks on his forehead.

what is this?

A huge fleet.

From M37, which is the direction of the Rickon galaxy.

Substitution?

The Rickon tribe was captured by other civilizations?

Several questions came to Luo Wen's mind.

But the little details that were discovered later added to Luo Wen's doubts.

As the fleet moved forward, there were more and more eye worms on the road, and various clearer pictures were also sent back to the swarm network.

The spray marks on those battleships were exactly the same as those on the cat's eye spaceship.

Reggie is fucking me? This was Rowan's first thought.

He then dismissed the idea, there was no way Reggie could have lied to him. But this is the result of rapid technological advancement? This TM has even changed the technology system, okay?

The interstellar travel that was originally based on light sail traction has switched to engine propulsion in just a hundred years?

And, what's the matter with this speed? According to the calculations of intelligent bodies, it has reached one-fifth of the speed of light.

And this kind of rapid progress?

Is this a hang up?

According to this speed, the other party will be able to reach the Proxima Galaxy in another ten years or so.

Looking at those giant steel beasts that are estimated to be around a thousand meters in length, with the densely packed turrets and hidden launch ports on them, the firepower must be very fierce.

Most importantly, how the other party reached this level is a big question.

The intelligent bodies analyzed that it is impossible to reach this level in a hundred years by relying solely on the other party to build a technological system and develop steadily based on the theoretical knowledge of verification. The other party has received technical assistance from advanced civilizations or obtained the heritage of advanced civilizations, these two possibilities are the greatest.

If it's a pure inheritance, then it's okay to say that even if the opponent's fleet is strong, relying on the characteristics of the swarm, it can still have the power to fight. But if the opponent is standing with a complete high-level civilization, Rowan should now run away without leaving any traces.

How to deal with it, Luo Wen still needs to think carefully.

———————————————————————————————————————

Time flies, and twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the huge Rickon fleet has reached the outskirts of the Proxima Galaxy.

All the personnel were awakened one after another in the previous week.

"Your Excellency, what should we do next?"

Standing in front of the astrolabe was a male Riken tribe. He was tall and strong, in his prime, with a blue face full of determination. The body in light protective clothing is already 2.5 meters tall. If you put on a combat uniform, I'm afraid it will be 2.8 meters.

He is the commander-in-chief of this expedition - General Massai.

"Give the order, the fleet is in a dispersed formation, with transport ships inside and warships outside, pay attention to vigilance. We don't know the specific strength of the alien race here, if you want to go home alive, cheer me up. In addition, inform everyone Captain, video conference in ten minutes!"

"Yes, General."

Ten minutes passed quickly.

"General, I think that when the situation is unclear, we should fight steadily, build up the line of defense step by step, and advance steadily." The large screen of more than 100 square meters in front of General Masai was divided into hundreds of small grids, and one of them The conservative female Riken captain suggested.

The general has never fought against alien forces before, and like his subordinates, there is nothing in this regard.

Now that they are about to enter the opposing galaxy, this expedition will inevitably be recorded in the history of the Rickon tribe. If the command is proper and the results are outstanding, he will naturally be famous forever. On the contrary, if there is a failure, he will be infamous for thousands of years.

Under such circumstances, General Masai did not dare to act arbitrarily. What he wanted was to work together and come up with a plan that everyone recognized. Even if he failed, everyone would bear the blame together.

"Captain Cleo, your proposal is too conservative. We have an invincible fleet. Naturally, our troops are extremely fast. We will go straight to the enemy's lair and wipe them out in one fell swoop." A male Riken captain objected loudly, from his It was clear from the speech that this was a radical.

"I support Captain Kenny." Another radical captain voiced his support.

"But do you know where the opponent's lair is? You don't even have a target. How can you fight so fast, and how can you go straight into the opponent's lair." A captain objected, this is a neutral rational faction.

"According to the last information sent back by the cat-ear spacecraft, they were attacked after going to T855, maybe that is the opponent's lair."

"T855 is not an ecological star, how could it be the opponent's lair. I analyzed carefully, they must have been hiding in T853 at the beginning, and when the cat-eared spaceship left, they followed it up and attacked."

"There is this possibility, but T855 is currently on the other side of the star. If we want to go there, we must go around a big circle. And the universe is so big, there may be races that can directly survive in the space environment."

"How could such a creature exist, do you think it is possible?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Seeing that two of the captains were about to quarrel, General Massai coughed twice, interrupted their quarrel and said: "We are not just here to fight aliens this time, but to completely occupy this place. Moreover, there is no conflict between entering the opponent's lair and establishing a base."

He looked at the star map next to him and continued: "Currently, both T854 and T853 are on our route. We can first establish a temporary base at T854, and then send troops to investigate the situation of T853."

"The general is right..."

"As expected of General Massai, he found a compromise right away."

After a rainbow fart, the plan was approved by everyone and passed smoothly.

With the current level of technology of the Rickens, even if the spaceship slowed down after entering the star system, it would only take a few minutes to increase the speed.

Therefore, it only took them more than ten days to reach T854 from the edge of the star system.

The Liken tribe attaches great importance to this expedition. If it fails this time, given the situation of the Liken tribe, it will be impossible to organize another expedition of this scale in a short period of time.

Therefore, they are quite well prepared, carrying a large number of module components in the transport ship.

Large metal parts were pulled out of the transport ship by small engineering spacecraft, assembled on the orbit of T854, and finally turned into space factories.

A large number of engineering equipment and soldiers were air-dropped to the T854 planet. While doing reconnaissance, digging sites and factories were established.

These are unmanned factories, controlled by intelligent programs, which continuously extract the raw materials collected by engineering equipment, and then send them to the space shipyard by transport spacecraft.

They actually planned to directly manufacture new warships here to supplement their combat power.

However, some of these factories also produce some metal components in-house, mostly replacement parts for some weapons.

After the logistical arrangements were completed, the two warships set out to T853, also known as the Big Venus.

Their mission was to drop a huge number of satellites in the synchronous orbit of the Great Venus.

At the same time, a large number of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft will also be projected into the interior of the planet for close-range reconnaissance.

A few days later, they reached the synchronous orbit of Great Venus.

"Look, what's that?"
