Ellie didn't dare watch any insect movies.
She ran across the street to read and study, maintain her small ecological circle, and practice all kinds of techniques to control spirits and laws.
I just feel a little restless...as if I am practicing hard to avoid being disturbed by unclean things.
Gloria was very happy to see it. She specially prepared fruit beer and melon seeds, and sat next to Lu Chen, watching the movie next to Lu Chen like a big sister.
After reading the spaceship log, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.
He didn't see the insect flakes.
After all, Alexei's spaceship had crashed when the plot of the bug film took place.
What is certain is that the mission of Alexei's ship's trip is nothing else. It is to go to the dusty Sisai star system to find a flying animal breeding ground to breed the latest magical species cultivated by the empire: beluga whales. .
The whale brain of the white whale seems to be one of the raw materials for building the empire's biological server.
According to the recommended diet given by the laboratory, beluga whales are not picky eaters and will accept any food that is rich in spiritual nourishment.
It doesn’t say that it prefers to eat bugs, or that it prefers to eat people.
Even Gloria asked in confusion:
"It's strange. Although these locusts are good spiritually, their blood is corrosive and they are not delicious, right?"
Lu Chen nodded.
"It is said that the body fluids of the interstellar Zerg were not corrosive at that time. Humans used the Zerg as feed to raise the interstellar beasts, and almost devoured the Zerg to extinction. In the end, they mutated into corrosive blood, and the Zerg survived and are still living today."
Therefore, the statement that bugs have never been truly defeated is actually an artistic exaggeration.
The real situation is: Do you have the value to win? Is the value of defeating you higher than the cost?
If there is money to be made, humans can exterminate any race or enslave any race.
Return to the ship log.
At that time, there were dozens of beluga whale larvae on board.
On the way, the spacecraft emergency committee ordered Alexei to kill the locusts. After being refused, Alexei agreed to give it a try only after he said that interstellar locusts might become ideal food for beluga whales.
As soon as the spacecraft landed in the Mother Locust Star Valley, it was besieged by a swarm of locusts just like the Leonin.
At that time, the mother locust, who had reached level 40, was in her prime. There was a very high proportion of locusts above level 10 in the swarm, and there were even a large number of level 20 and level 30 locusts.
The spaceship simply cannot withstand the insect tide!
The spacecraft was forced to take off. The emergency committee questioned Alexei's compassion for the insect swarm, which affected the driving stability, and decided to launch a nuclear warhead towards the mother locust planet.
But in fact, Alexei was affected by the pheromones sprayed by the mother locust, and he gritted his teeth and kept flying.
He agreed to call a nearby rescue ship to capture the interstellar locust swarm, but refused to destroy the insect nest with a nuclear bomb.
In Alexey's view, launching a nuclear bomb conflicts with the mission and wastes precious nuclear warheads.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
The emergency committee then forcibly seized control of the spacecraft, causing Alexei's control to decline. The spacecraft was severely affected by the Mother Locust's pheromones, causing the spacecraft to become unbalanced. It soon crashed into the Mother Locust planet and plunged into the Mother Locust's nest...
Alexei climbed out of the cabin in the Blue Warrior Armor, trying to fight a large number of giant fighting locusts and cover the crew's departure.
However, after the crew safely evacuated the insect nest and the star in the amphibious lifeboat, instead of being grateful to Alexei, they tried to remotely detonate the ship-borne nuclear warhead to blow up the Locust Nest Mountain and bury the insect tide and Alexei.
At the critical moment, Alexei jumped onto the top of the spacecraft, holding a giant sword, and pierced the nuclear warhead with one sword.
While avoiding a nuclear bomb explosion and saving the Locust Nest Mountain, it also caused a large area of nuclear radiation, affecting the body of the mother locust and the quality of her offspring.
Alexey, who was at a close distance from the nuclear radiation vent, also fainted.
A few days later, Alexei, who was rescued by the mother locust, turned off the spacecraft log...
The content of the log ends here.
Gloria was only halfway through the melon seeds, and her heart felt cold.
"What the hell? We've been laying the groundwork for so long, and we've finally reached the key plot point. Why is it gone?"
Lu Chen turned his head and rolled his eyes at her.
"What, you want to learn some charm skills from the mother locust?"
Gloria said disdainfully:
"What the hell is this skill? My sister is a succubus, a race at the pinnacle of enchantment talent. She still needs to learn?"
Lu Chen pinched Gloria's slightly bulging belly.
"Is it because of your fat body that you are charming?"
Angry, Gloria stuffed the melon seeds, snacks and various high-sugar drinks into Lu Chen's mouth.
Alexei did not kill anyone. He was probably captured by the mother locust to atone for his sins and used as a genetically improved seeder for the Zerg race.
You can basically guess what happens next.
Lu Chen didn't see the insect flakes he imagined. Lu Chen was a little lucky that he didn't get hurt, but also felt a little pity for no reason.
Lu Chen was not qualified to judge Alexei. He only felt that as a bug man, he was at least more promising than the male protagonist of Avatar.
He was even discriminated against and betrayed by humans...
However, the offspring of Alexei and the mother locust inevitably sided with the Zerg completely.
Because of this, Lu Chen felt no guilt when killing.
The universe, either you kill me, or I kill you.
Thinking too much will become food.
Close the ship log.
Lu Chen stretched his waist.
Then search the Internet for information about beluga whales or fog starfish.
There is not much information about beluga whales, most of them are related to the fishing festival of the Misty Starfish, and there is no mention of imperial breeding or interstellar locusts.
There seems to be no further mention of the Imperial Bioserver in the ship log... After all, the artificial intelligence Galaxy Heart built on the Bioserver has rebelled against humanity and developed an omnic race to occupy the fringe star field and become one of the four major disasters in the new era. one.
Cylon uses a neural network server made of beluga whales, which spends a lot of electricity and computing power to defend the heart of the galaxy.
Today, both the empire and the new federal laws strictly prohibit the establishment of biological servers. Only the Uncrowned Country continues to carry out research in this area in order to create an ideal society.
The Shadowless Whale on the Fog Starfish has always been considered a marketing tool of the Anglers Alliance and does not exist at all.
Within a thousand years, countless adventurers, imperial warships, or star beast ships of the New Alliance have descended on Mist Sea Star and captured high-level beluga whales, but no trace of the Shadowless Whale has ever been found.
Otherwise, it won’t be the Interstellar Anglers Alliance’s turn to be the host.
"So, who is Kweir? Why did the mother locust not forget to say that she wanted to kill Kweir before she died?"
With such doubts, Lu Chen went straight to Wu Haixing.
…
On the way.
Lu Chen opened the Helium Flash Network and continued to pay attention to Wu Haixing's live broadcast.
Fog Starfish is even more chaotic than before.
Not only was it a mess, the porridge was also mixed with rat droppings and even duck necks.
Click on the previous video.
After the Oxhorn star beast ship rushed into the depths of the foggy sea, it aroused the anger of the group of ships, and they also followed it into the sea.
As a result, the Oxhorn star beast ship, two Seawolf-class imperial patrol ships, and countless adventure ships turned on their radars in the depths of the Fog Sea Star to capture beluga whales and search for shadowless whales...
But the public outrage that triggered tens of millions of adult beluga whales actually united to summon a storm, forming a huge moving hurricane.
In the atmosphere of the foggy star, a great red spot appeared on the surface of Jupiter, swallowing up countless adventurous ships that fished wantonly.
The wreckage of many spaceships was ruthlessly thrown out of the sea, but there was no sight of the crew, the materials on the ship, or the spiritual pool where the spiritual oil was stored...
This made Lu Chen wonder:
Could it be that while humans are fishing for whales, beluga whales are fishing for humans in the opposite direction?
Lu Chen clicked on the latest recorded video.
A scene in which humans and gods were outraged appeared!
A level 40 stealth bionic boat finally revealed its true appearance under the encirclement and suppression of the Oxhorn, two Imperial Sea Wolf ships, and numerous adventure ships.
Shaped like a beluga whale, the outer layer is covered with a flexible transparent display and an anti-radar array.
That’s okay!
The major live broadcast rooms were in an uproar!
The Oxhorn spacecraft sprayed a large amount of Spirit Pond oil directly onto the outer shell of the bionic boat. The video was taken and sent to the Helium Flash Network to strongly criticize the Interstellar Anglers Alliance for its shameless behavior.
Enraged, the Oxhorn prepared to attack the bionic boat, but was unexpectedly backstabbed by two Imperial Seawolf-class warships.
The Hornhorn, which had one of its horns ripped off by the storm, had to flee hastily and gave up the attack.
Lu Chen understood this scene immediately.
"It seems that the Interstellar Anglers Alliance really uses the Shadowless Whale for marketing purposes, and has paid protection fees to the Imperial warships in advance."
The Anglers Alliance immediately issued an announcement, stating that the stealth bionic boat came from the Galaxy Animal Protection Alliance to supervise the Anglers Alliance and prevent fishing boats from maliciously harvesting beluga whales.
Finally, I also appeal to everyone not to go deep into the sea of fog and fish maliciously, otherwise it will cause irreversible consequences!
It attracted a lot of criticism on the Internet...
No one believed it at all.
Lu Chen was not surprised.
Since entering the Pangu Corridor, the dungeons encountered are full of traps, and countless adventurers have been harvested.
The older generation of adventurers who went to sea early have swung their scythes at the new generation of adventurers...
There are rough estimates from internet celebrities:
The Foggy Starfish Fishing Festival organized by the Anglers Alliance attracted at least 10,000 fishing trips in just a few days, earning more than 5 million spiritual stones!
Robbery isn't that profitable either.
Soon, the major Internet celebrities, self-media, imperial warships, federal star beast ships, adventure ships, mysterious reconnaissance ships... who targeted the Shadowless Whale... all left Fog Sea Star in disappointment.
There are only a few tourist boats left, a few real fishing enthusiasts, and an even smaller number of people who are in urgent need of beluga whales... who are still staying in Misty Starfish and continuing to fish.
"Great, it's time for our real anglers to appear!"
Lu Chen said confidently.
With or without the Shadowless Whale, he was definitely going to make a fortune.
…
Half a day later.
When the Leonin arrived in the Sisei star system, the radar signal outside the atmosphere of the fog star was only a fraction of its original value.
After arriving in the low-Earth orbit of Fog Star, the light fog made the spacecraft's visibility low, and the radar was also affected to a certain extent.
Lu Chen glanced at the treasure map, but he didn't react yet.
"That's not right. I have the best whale bait. Do cheaters question my fishing skills?"
Lu Chen was puzzled.
By the way, it may also be a problem with the fishing rod!
He didn't even have a fishing rod, and there was a fine for catching fish.
He read the guide information sent by the Anglers Alliance again. After paying the fishing spot fee, you can receive fishing rods and whale bait for free.
"In that case, just wait for the patrol ship to register."
The scenery of foggy starfish is more spectacular than what Lu Chen saw in the live broadcast.
The abundant sunshine shines on the turbulent sea of fog, showing a charming halo and delicate texture, which seems to sweep away the haze and make people feel happy.
Occasionally, you can see beluga whales swimming by in groups, revealing their crystal backs.
Or the beluga whale emerges from the foggy sea, dragging its beautiful white beard and swallowing interstellar floating matter.
The slightly salty tidal mist wind whistled in my ears, carrying a rhythm like the ocean tide.
Even Ellie couldn't help but sigh:
"So beautiful."
Lu Chen nodded as he served the tea.
"The scenery is really nice, no wonder we have to collect five hundred spirit stones!"
Gloria lay on the recliner playing games and fell asleep while playing.
Ellie stared at the pods of beluga whales flying freely in the sea of mist, and was entranced.
"Beluga whales are so beautiful, but also so pitiful... It would be great if humans didn't catch them."
Lu Chen glanced at Aili and had no intention of spoiling her and letting her live in a fairy tale.
"If humans fall into the depths of the Sea of Fog, they will create storms, destroy spaceships, and eat humans without any doubt."
"But humans take the initiative to invade their territory..."
"If beluga whales can also travel far and have the power to surpass other intelligent races in the galaxy, do you think they will invade human territory?"
Ellie tilted her head.
"can you?"
"If they have advanced intelligence, they will definitely do it; if they don't have advanced intelligence, they can't be stronger than humans. Even the dragons can't do it. Naturally, they can't break into human territory."
"Can't higher wisdom and morality coexist?"
Lu Chen was stunned and thought for a long time before organizing his words.
"That may require wisdom that reaches the level of God.
No, maybe even gods cannot be completely moral. Even advanced civilizations that have no desires and desires still have all kinds of experimental fun.
in my opinion.
Morality is a by-product of strength.
And strength is a by-product of higher intelligence.
Morality is just a man-made concept used to maintain the stability of the same kind. It will not be until mankind conquers all life on the home planet and even the galaxy that morality will spread to all living things.
If there is another intelligent race ruling the galaxy above humans, do you think there will be a "Galactic Animal Protection Act"? There will only be the Galactic Humanity Protection Act.
You have to believe that power always lies in love. Our purpose of becoming stronger is to maintain fragile love. "
The above is not Lu Chen's opinion, he only agrees with part of it.
The reason for letting Ellie know these cruel truths is to inoculate her in advance to prevent her from having a mental breakdown when she encounters more cruel things in the future.
Only after knowing the cruel truth of civilization and still remaining in awe of life is true positive love.
Regardless of whether she understands or not, Ai Li always nods her head, takes notes, and slowly digests them in private...
It made Lu Chen feel like a teacher.
Shame on you for blindly educating yourself.
Next.
The Leonin cruised outside the atmosphere of the Misty Sea Star, waiting for the Anglers Alliance patrol boat to come and register him.
After all, Prince Tully had paid for his fishing fee.
Prince Tully's Dragon-Seeking No. 2 and Electric Eel are still guarding the Misty Sea Star, insisting on looking for clues about the Shadowless Whale.
At the same time, they are still waiting for Lu Chen.
Although not a single beluga whale was caught, the live broadcast income of the Electric Eel was higher than that of catching ten beluga whales.
Lu Chen did not contact Prince Tully immediately to avoid entering the Electric Eel live broadcast room and becoming an actor making money for others.
Lu Chen could see sporadic silhouettes of huge ships nearby. The scene was not as lively as before, but it seemed more pure.
This is truly an angler's paradise!
I checked Helium Flash Network and found that those currently live broadcasting the foggy starfish fishing event are all outdoor fishing internet celebrities.
Some Internet celebrities have done simple statistics.
In the three days since the fishing event began, less than 10% of the ships have successfully caught beluga whales.
There are also a handful of star anglers who catch more than one beluga whale and enjoy countless spotlights, photos and accolades, as well as gold medals from the Anglers Alliance!
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t catch the ship. You can enjoy the pleasure of checking in and have a picnic on the extended deck of the ship, play cards, feed beluga whales, and even get free whale liver snacks presented by the Anglers Alliance.
There were also anglers who successfully caught beluga whales and sold fish meat on the spot, allowing many tourists to eat the grilled fish on site.
There was even a group of animal protectionists from the Empire who held up banners and fought against the group of human protectionists from the Empire.
The Federation is mostly humanoid, but never cares about these.
That is a game between the rulers and the rich. The people of the Federation have already tried their best just to stay alive...
Soon, the Anglers Alliance patrol boat arrived.
He registered the Leonin, confirmed that the fees had been paid, and gave Lu Chen a set of fishing rods and bait worth less than ten spiritual stones, as well as some snacks made from whale meat.
"You can use radar to track fishing outside the atmosphere, but it is prohibited to use catching bait. Once discovered, your spacecraft will be detained or you will be fined a thousand spiritual stones!"
"Remember, never go deep into the depths of the foggy sea. If there is a storm, there is nothing we can do."
"Happy fishing!"
After that, the patrol boat left.
Lu Chen immediately turned on the ship's radar to look for traces of the beluga whales.
Then drive the spaceship nearby, use free bait to make a nest, and go fishing.
His nesting was quite successful.
Unfortunately, the fishing was a failure...
These beluga whales can easily chew up free fish hooks.
As a result, some cruising merchant ships from the Anglers Alliance appeared nearby, selling professional and high-end fishing equipment.
It's a win, it's a yes.
Lu Chen had no intention of spending such wasted money.
Gloria, who had just woken up, saw this scene and knew that Lu Chen was an old air force soldier.
"What, is fishing more difficult than taking risks?"
"It's just the fishing rod and hook that won't work. I'll contact Prince Tully later and I'll get more advanced fishing equipment."
Before he can do that, he first needs to determine the attraction of interstellar locusts to beluga whales.
Lu Chen first drove the Leonin to an inaccessible place.
Releases the corpse of an interstellar locust and attempts to make a nest.
In less than a minute, several nearby beluga whales gathered around, chasing and fighting over the locust carcasses.
This nest-making efficiency far exceeds that of free bait, and is even stronger than paid bait.
“The tour guide’s information is actually true!”
At this moment--
An extremely bright red target suddenly appeared on Lu Chen's treasure map.
The flashing little red dot is brighter than ever!
