Blessings to the beautiful stars

Chapter 4 Support
Insects are the focus of prevention throughout the galaxy.

Without him, it is because they cannot truly integrate into other civilizations no matter what.

Most of the worms who can form sociality have "hive consciousness", that is, each worm is hardly an individual, but more like the individual cells that make up their tribe.The whole tribe together is a complete life.

There is a natural conflict between life instinct and individual consciousness.Individuals need enjoyment, rest, and a better life.But "life" itself doesn't need it, it just needs to reproduce, and reproduce endlessly.

Therefore, the pure life formed by the hive consciousness of the bugman is a terrible aggregation that only knows how to reproduce.Even if it has intelligence and can develop science, all it wants is to use science to reproduce faster, more and farther.

The Stru people are okay. The communication and synchronization of their consciousness is accomplished by transferring chemical transmitters when the tentacles contact each other. The time interval is calculated in days, and if the distance is a little farther, it needs to split a new tribe to continue to expand.

Although the efficiency is low, at least it leaves a small space for each individual to retain independent thinking.

Moreover, thanks to this low efficiency and strength, the Stru people at least know that if they want to continue to reproduce, they must compromise with other civilizations in the galaxy.

But there are some worms in the Milky Way that are different. They rely on psionic energy to communicate in the void. Even if there are several light years between individuals, they can be perfectly synchronized through some technological means.Such worms are truly "all is one".

Therefore, the hive life constructed in this way has only one purest thing to care about, and that is reproduction!Efficient reproduction without any detours!Transform everything within viewing distance into your own nursery den!Eat all the lives that dare to resist!

Such worms don't even have a language to communicate with other civilizations.Its endless expansion and engulfment bring indiscriminate disasters to the civilizations that have just stepped into the star sea.The initial establishment of the Star Sea Alliance was started by the victimized civilizations to fight against such bugs.

Up to now, although the extreme insects have been wiped out, the remaining ones are the tribes like Stru who have learned to compromise.

But that kind of nightmare that covered the sky and the sun will not be easily forgotten. Therefore, it is still a felony among felonies for bugs to reproduce without permission.

It also gave Zuo Wu at least some places to draw on.

For example, he invited Ai Shanshan to drink a cup of coffee, rubbed her shoulders and beat her back enduring the tingling sensation of the scales on her back, and asked her to sit down and quickly typed a small report to the colonial government.

In the colonial starship, the communication channel of the law enforcers still has some priority.The management AI carried on it carefully unpacked the signal after confirming that the signal was not a radiation attack from a hostile planet.

Then, this short report with typos was quickly raised to a high priority by AI.Put aside other things for the time being, the computing performance is fully turned on, and the global monitoring that was turned off to save resources is turned on.

It only took a few tenths of a second to confirm the accuracy of the information, supplemented by big data calculations.Within a few minutes, the newborn insect nest hidden in the depths of this dead planet had nowhere to hide.

On the other side, Ai Shanshan was still admiring Zuo Wu's generosity.Now that Dilian has lost several agricultural planets, the price of a cup of natural coffee may be able to cover the living expenses of ordinary people for two months.

She sat side by side with Zuo Wu on the side of the road, just as she happily put the straw into her mouth, she was so frightened by the alarm that suddenly flashed in her vision that she coughed repeatedly.

"Choke, choke!" The coffee was overturned, she grabbed it desperately with both hands, and it was Zuo Wu who patted her back in time to finally recover.Looking at the cups scattered on the ground, she was very disappointed: "Oh, what a pity."

"It's okay, just buy it again."

"...Why are you so rich? Sigh, we have been rubbing you for food and clothing for the past few months, and it feels like you have been adopted by you,"

Ai Shanshan didn't know the source of the energy in Zuo Wu's body, and he didn't intend to delve into it at all, but just smirked: "Don't talk about this, have you received the government's law enforcement order?"

Everyone has their little secrets, don't they?She licked her lips with her slightly forked tongue.

Zuo Wu clasped his hands, feeling a little worried: "I received it, but I have obviously resigned."

"Management AI is like this, there will always be inefficiencies in some weird places, presumably on purpose."

Ai Shanshan stood up, patted his clothes, and the disappointment came and went quickly: "You should go this time, anyway, you have to find limbs... Oh, you don't have the equipment of law enforcement. It's okay, just follow me."

"It's not necessary."

Zuo Wu grinned. The Stru people are not the kind of race that can physically pass through the hyperspace waterway. He has his own secrets, and he doesn't take them to heart at all.

The surrounding air was vibrating faintly. The floating vehicles of other law enforcement officers had already rushed to their destinations. Some of them found them on the ground and seemed to be able to take a ride.

……

It can only be said that the so-called law enforcement officers are really just a group of local hooligans recruited by the government.Compared with them, Ai Shanshan, who is used to arriving late and leaving early, is actually the one with strict discipline.

On the floating ship designated as the assembly point, almost no one arrived on time.And Zuo Wu originally thought that he would be a bit conspicuous if he wasn't wearing the Law Enforcer's power armor.But he didn't expect that his ex-colleagues, whom he had hardly met, were all disheveled, and ten people might not be able to make up three complete sets of equipment.

Even Aishanshan is the same, the reason is that she doesn't like to wear shoulder armor.

Law enforcers certainly cannot all come from one race.Under the blue sunlight, the colorful skin collides with the grotesque eyebrows and eyes.Some of these races were blood feuds, and after a few pushes, a massive brawl was about to take place.

But an extremely ear-piercing noise suddenly sounded on the airship, tormenting everyone's hearing organs.The clamor was instantly suppressed, and a big round eye was projected:

"Meet you for the first time! Scumbags, idiots, and wanted criminals from all planets!"

Big eyes floated in the air, looking triumphant: "I am one-ten-thousandth of the calculation power of the imperial colony management AI itself! Originally, most of you and I would never meet! But today is a special situation, I I have to see your disgusting looks! Ugh!"

Zuo Wu blinked, but he didn't feel offended.But other people don't think so. The conflict that was originally pressed is about to break out again, but this time the target is the foul-mouthed AI above.

The AI ​​made another noise, and the disgust in the tone did not diminish at all: "I know why you came to this shitty place to be a law enforcement officer. It's nothing more than owing money in your hometown, breaking the law, or believing something weird It’s just a religion! The colony is bad in every way, but one thing is true, that is, everything started from scratch before the connection of the Imperial Union’s network!”

"Starting from scratch, you can wash your identities and start a new life. But no matter what, you still need money. It is a wonderful energy coin. With it, in the current environment, you may be able to use it in Imperial Union's Maybe a sweet afternoon tea with the officials in charge of household registration and identity before the supervision arrives,”

The AI ​​grinned: "Three ten-thousandths of an energy coin, whoever kills the queen of the Strut usurper in the lower worm's nest will get this reward!"

Three ten thousandths!
The hooligans all breathed very heavily.

And a law enforcement officer with a stable appearance, four eyes and a cow's head looked at his colleagues who lost their minds, sighed silently, took a step forward, and raised his hand: "I want to ask, is it not to use bluff to deal with illegal insects?" Wouldn’t it be enough for the airship to shoot a ground penetrating bomb or a piercing laser at the ground? Why do we have to go down in person?”

"A ground penetrating bomb can cost more than three ten-thousandths of an energy coin,"

The AI ​​muttered softly, and suddenly raised the volume: "For the follow-up development of the colony, this time I hope to minimize the death of insects except for the queen! Yes, after killing the illegal queen, these strong laborers can be integrated into the legal Stru group. You guys I don’t understand, this is my wise high-level planning!”

The Tauren enforcer grinned, but still raised his hand: "What about the other seized materials? I heard that the Stru people have the habit of storing property..."

"It's all yours, let's go!"

As soon as the AI's impatient words fell, some law enforcement officers who could fly in the atmosphere cheered, waving all kinds of wings and jumping off the deck of the floating ship.Those who are more sensible would talk to the AI ​​with a shy face, to see if they can get some new equipment.

Zuo Wu and Ai Shanshan didn't need it. She pointed to Zuo Wu at the thrust reverser engine on the power armor behind her waist, and patted her arm.

Then, she embraced Zuo Wu in her arms, and jumped down lightly in the thousand-meter-high air.
