I Am the Swarm

In the Riken galaxy, the Riken parent star is the fourth planet, the fifth planet is named Riven Star, and the sixth planet is Riwu Star.

One piece of paper and one weapon, supporting the mother planet.

The returned expedition fleet was slowly dismantled from the Liwu star, and a part of it was stationed in the Liwu star orbit for maintenance and upgrades, and the rest were all stationed here when they reached the Liwen star orbit.

The captains, officers, and staff officers of each ship boarded small transport ships here, peacefully handed over military power, and then returned to Riken's home planet.

The defeated generals did not have a warm welcome ceremony. Speaker Antonio met with them in a low-key manner.

The endless starry sky is very spectacular and beautiful to look at once in a while, but there will always be aesthetic fatigue if you look at the starry sky that has hardly changed for decades.

So chatting has become the best way to pass the time.

But the people on the same boat are either dormant, or they are all the same. They have not been exposed to outside information for decades, and the information they chatter is extremely similar.

No matter what the secret is, it is difficult to keep it mysterious in such a closed environment.

For example, life-prolonging plants, which were originally known only to the high-level command and scientific research team, did not know when it was spread out. In just a few years, this original top secret has become a bad street news.

Even the reclusive engineering and maintenance team on the ship can express a few opinions on this matter in a decent manner.

Therefore, the communication with the mother star has become the only channel for the expedition fleet to increase the amount of chattering information.

As the expedition fleet got closer to Riken's home planet, the communication time required by the two parties became less and less, and the energy consumption was also lower and lower. As a result, the "chat" between the two sides became more and more frequent.

It took nearly 30 years for the expedition fleet to fly to the T85 galaxy, and after staying for less than a year, they were driven back, and then they traveled through the void for more than 20 years.

Therefore, their amount of information is very small, and there is nothing to chatter after a few words. For most of the remaining time, it is Riken's home planet that unilaterally outputs information to them.

This reduced a lot of reporting time for the talks between Speaker Antonio and the expeditionary officers such as Massai.

The meeting ended without spending too much time, and what was discussed was unknown, but afterward, Dr. Barter was carefully escorted from the orbit of Riven to the home star of Riken.

During the 20 years of sailing, Dr. Balter's team has not rested, they have been committed to the research of life-extending plants.

However, since most of the high-precision instruments carried by the expedition fleet were transported to the base on the T853 planet, and the retreat was very hasty, those instruments were blown up.

As a result, no decent replacements could be found on the Rickon fleet. This makes the already poorly equipped research environment even worse. Although the relatively easy-to-carry life-extending plants were taken away during the retreat, the experimental materials were relatively abundant, but the progress over the past two decades has not been satisfactory.

Not everyone in the Ph.D. team wants to waste material and time on research without instruments. Moreover, most of them are not personnel in related fields, and even Dr. Balter himself is strictly speaking a layman.

Barter once reported this situation to General Masai, but under the circumstances of the game between the various forces, their opinions were not heard in the end, and they were still not allowed to sleep, and forced to assign research tasks.

Therefore, many people in Barter's team were extremely dissatisfied with this waste of life, which led to their low research enthusiasm and deliberately ruined a lot of experimental materials.

More than 20 years have passed, and the total amount of life-extending plants, including roots and fruits, totaled more than 20 tons, but now there are less than two tons left.

General Massai, who lost the battle and made a mess of his bargaining chips, was dismissed from the military despite having the support of the forces behind him and not going to a court-martial after meeting with the speaker.

The life-extending plant was taken over by the power of the speaker, Dr. Bart and others made some handovers, and after being emptied of only research materials, they were kicked out of the research team.

The new team is composed of more professional and relevant people, and the scale is also larger, reaching more than 3,000 people. Precision instruments are provided for what is needed.

It is said that several old professors in the new team fainted from excitement after seeing the data of life-extending plants. After waking up, I heard that the original experimental materials were more than ten times the existing ones, but they were all ruined by Barter's team, and I fainted again.

The old professors who woke up again managed to stabilize their emotions. If Barter and the others hadn't been transferred at that time, maybe this matter couldn't be finished so easily.

The new experimental team is quite powerful, and the experiment is progressing rapidly. It took only a short time to digest the experimental results of Barter and others for more than 20 years and to introduce new ones.

I believe that it will not take long before some real results will be produced.

During this period, the more than 2 million people returned by the expeditionary fleet, except for the felony and death-row prisoners who boarded the ship, the rest were sent back to Riken's home planet in batches.

These people have been fighting for decades. Although they have lost the battle, they have worked hard without credit. They must not evaporate for no reason. Moreover, the forces behind these people are intricate, and even ordinary soldiers have family support behind them. After the fleet returns, their families have long been looking forward to it.

If something is really done to these people, maybe there is no need for aliens to call, and the Rickon tribe themselves will have to finish the game first.

"Stupid sister, have you finally returned? I heard that you had an accident this time? You were almost eaten by a wild beast? I hope this experience will make you more mature." The elder sister cared about her younger sister. The younger sister was in an accident and almost robbed a warship and rushed to the T85 galaxy, but the words of concern changed when they reached her mouth.

"Huh? Are you my mother's sister? Why have I never seen you before? You look like you are 50 years older than me!" The younger sister's counterattack was also very sharp, making her feel as if she would be given to the beast by opening her mouth. eat up.

But after speaking, the two still looked at each other and smiled, and the gap of more than 50 years was melted away.

"Although you are still so annoying, I am relieved to see you like this. It seems that you have indeed grown up."

"Ah, an unforgettable experience." The younger sister looked back, as if she had seen the great existence, so she emphasized again: "An experience you can never imagine."

Although she saw her sister showing an interested expression, Kloss didn't want to continue on this topic, but said:

"Old woman, although we are in a bit of a mess this time, we still brought back some good things." Although Klos said something about life-extending plants, "You have to seize the opportunity. I heard that there are not many materials available. , if you want to be my sister, you have to be younger."

"If you change your address, maybe I will like you more, but you should take a good rest and don't worry about the rest."

"Then how is your research going? Have you come up with something good after so many years?" Cross rolled his eyes and asked.

"Secret!" The answer, as always.

"cut!"

The two sisters communicated for a while, the elder sister left in a hurry, she seemed to be still busy, and it was hard to find time to come back to visit her younger sister.

Watching her leaving back, Kloss's eyes showed playfulness: Stupid "sister", how can two races become sisters? I really look forward to the day when you become my "sister" again. Only then will you know how wonderful the world is.
