    The Second Central Army led by Robin officially took over the space defense of the Kunir system and established a space defense circle around three planets, including Hayden's planet, to completely prevent outer space meteorite fragments from entering the planet's orbit.

    At the same time, a large number of landing ships loaded with engineering personnel and ground troops landed on the surface of the planet Hayden.  Starting with the original army fortress as the core, it began to expand significantly, building a protective wall covering nearly one million square kilometers of land as quickly as possible, and dividing it according to the design area, accelerating the establishment of various construction projects in the protected area.  Ground facilities.

    The reason why the empire can stand out among many sovereign countries in the galaxy and become the supreme existence in the human world is that, in addition to its military status that is so powerful that it cannot be changed, it relies on the mature and perfect industry system established by the clone system.  It constitutes another important part of the main body of the empire, and in a sense, this mature system is the foundation for maintaining the empire's strong national power.

    As the founder of the empire and the creator of replicant technology, Emperor Hoffmann used his unique idea to establish a system that had never been seen in human history, incorporating replicants into human beings.  In the social system, the national power of the empire grew rapidly at an unimaginable speed.

    Since the founding of the empire, Emperor Hoffmann has regarded replicants as an important part of the empire, which makes replicants ubiquitous in all walks of life in the empire.  Coupled with Emperor Hoffmann's idea of ??advocating meritocracy in founding the country, all walks of life in the empire are at the pinnacle of the human world, and these clone groups extended by the elites of various industries further expand this industry advantage.  To an extent that no other country can match.

    In other words, even the most ordinary prostitute in the empire has a perfect appearance.  As for a young clone technician who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, his potential can be maximized in just ten years, and he can become a top technical engineer standing at the top of the industry.

    And when the entire industry becomes elite due to the existence of replicants, then the entire country will undergo a qualitative change in technology, and the resulting rapid growth in productivity will reach a level unimaginable by the thinking of the old era.  What's more, after Robin implemented the New Deal, a more complete and detailed professional system was established with the artificial intelligence "Zeus" as the main body. The professional titles representing unique industry status further stabilized the empire's professional system, and  Following the example of "Skywalker", the system perfectly integrates the talents associated with genes with technical experience and academics, further improving the industry's production capacity.

    Based on this, one can imagine the work efficiency of the engineering troops accompanying the fleet.  As long as there are no unexpected situations and continuous construction is carried out on a shift basis, Robin is sure that he can build the Hayden planet into a super fortress within a month, allowing human power to be completely rooted in this land and never be shaken.  .

    But before that, how to eliminate the Insat people currently dormant in the planet's crust has become the first problem before Robin. After all, rapid advancement in industry cannot replace the military. If you want the race to truly rise, the military must  Combat and external genocide are essential means of survival.

    Hayden Planetary Army Fortress.

    After Robin issued a series of military deployments, the First Central Army Fleet has established an impregnable space defense circle in the Kunir system and closely monitors the asteroid belts that exist in the system to prevent the Insat people.  The space force relies on the attacks launched by the planetary belt.

    From this point of view, Robin can guarantee that the three planets in the Kunir system will no longer be attacked by the Insat from outer space, and the Insat ground troops currently dormant in the planet's crust will no longer be able to obtain  Reinforcements from outer space.  But even so, it is not easy to completely eliminate the remaining Insat people on the planet.

    After all, in terms of biological attributes, the Insat are a collection of silicon-based life and carbon-based life.  If the purpose is only to survive, the silicon-based brain as the core of the Insat people has an almost unlimited lifespan, and even if the carbon-based structure body is thrown away, their silicon-based brain can survive alone for a long time.  time.  Therefore, if the silicon-based brains of the Insat people are used as a survival standard, their active areas on the planet can even penetrate deep into the lava layer and reach the core of the planet.  And that area is absolutely inaccessible to humans. Even with current technological means, humans cannot enter the core of the earth where strong thermonuclear reactions are taking place.

    If you look at it this way, Robin or the entire human race will be helpless against the unique alien intelligent life of the Insat.

    But in fact, if they only have silicon-based brains, the Insat people will not be able toMoving.

    From the perspective of the biological habits of the Insat people, the core area is not their main activity range. Only during biological reproduction, they will excrete silicon crystals with part of their biological consciousness in a manner similar to ovulation.  Deep into the lava layer, these silicon crystals can penetrate deep into the earth's core and use the energy generated by the thermonuclear reaction in the earth's core to continue to grow until adulthood.

    The growth rate of Insat larvae is directly related to the intensity of the thermonuclear reaction in the planet's core. If the thermonuclear reaction in the planet's core is normal, Insat larvae can grow into semi-mature bodies in just a few years.  After growing into semi-mature bodies, this part of the incomplete Insat people will follow the lava layer and move up into the earth's crust during the changes in the earth's crust.  At this time, these semi-mature bodies will begin to send a unique electronic signal. After receiving this signal, the mature bodies active in the earth's crust will come to bring them back to the group one by one and begin to breed them.  Create carbon-based bodies so that they have the ability to move and cultivate biological weapons like mature bodies.

    It can be seen from the unique breeding habits of the Insat people that it is definitely not an easy task to eliminate the Insat people on the planet.  Even if there is only one mature Insat alive on this planet, in tens or hundreds of years, as long as the conditions are right, thousands of Insat armies will suddenly appear on this planet.  , completely destroying the human civilization that mankind has worked so hard to build on this planet at once.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  This is a competition for survival in the true sense. As a member of this competition for survival, the human race must always ensure its tenacious viability and resolutely implement the genocide policy against the Insat people in order to survive in this competition for survival.  survive.  Therefore, it is completely unrealistic to hope that a victory will be established within a few years through one or two large-scale battles like human wars.  To put it in despair, even if you want to truly clean up a planet, it will take hundreds of years to do it with the current human civilization.

    Now, Robin is faced with such a desperate situation.

    As the empire¡¯s most important offensive bridgehead in the extragalactic system, the importance of the Kunir system is self-evident.  But now, even the planet Hayden is facing extremely serious war risks.

    Judging from the combat records in the past five years, there have been more than ten battles with a war scale of more than a thousand people. This means that deep in the crust of the planet Hayden, the Insat people have given birth to an army of tens of thousands of people.  Army, and as time goes by, this number will expand exponentially.  If an effective combat strategy is not formulated immediately to eliminate them, perhaps in more than ten years, humans will have no place in the Kunir Galaxy.

    And what¡¯s more serious than this is that through active monitoring of energy activities in the planet¡¯s atmosphere, Colonel Mark, commander of the Hayden Fortress Army, discovered that in the past year, the energy fluctuations in the atmosphere of Hayden¡¯s planet have been extremely active.  And his fifteen years of combat experience with the Insat told him that if such energy fluctuations occur in the atmosphere, it means that there are already one or two hatching dragons on the planet Hayden.  Pupa eggs.

    Dragon pupa, which looks like a giant dragon and weighs tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of tons in adulthood, is the most important ultimate biological weapon for the Insat people to conquer the universe.

    But it is hard to imagine that such a huge creature was extremely small in its infancy.  Judging from the dragon pupa specimens and dragon pupa eggs captured so far, this giant creature is also a hermaphroditic space life with extremely strong survivability.

    This means that even if there is only one dragon pupa, it has the ability to reproduce a huge group.

    And the eggs produced by its reproduction are only about the size of a walnut.

    The eggs of this size which are similar to walnuts, have an extremely hard shell, and their surface is uneven and presents a coil shape.  It is this coil-like shape and the biomechanical structure in the body that give the dragon chrysalis eggs a terrifying ability, making them similar in characteristics to Stella coils, and possessing the destructive ability to create artificial lightning.

    In terms of biological attributes, dragon chrysalis eggs have certain similarities with the Insat people's breeding mode. They both need to directly absorb the energy generated by thermonuclear reactions in order to survive.  However, as the pinnacle of carbon-based life, the dragon chrysalis still possesses some biological characteristics unique to carbon-based life. It cannot directly use energy as food like the Insat in their infancy. Energy is only for it.  It is just a boost in the feeding process. As a carbon-based organism, it still needs food to grow, and its food is the abundant minerals and metal elements in the planet's crust.

    Borrowing the absorbed external energy, the dragon chrysalis has been?Carry out nuclear fission and nuclear fusion in the body.  On the one hand, the energy generated by these nuclear reactions in the body can become the kinetic energy for its activities; on the other hand, the metal substances associated with these nuclear reactions will become the raw materials it needs to continue growing the body.  During the hundred-year growth period of the dragon chrysalis, what is only the size of a loach at the beginning of its hatching will eventually become a steel behemoth weighing tens of millions of tons.  And this huge change in body shape also means that in the past hundred years, the minerals and metal elements it has swallowed will be difficult to calculate. Even as it gradually grows, the additional energy it consumes when it consumes food  It is also extremely amazing, and may even directly cause the cooling of the earth's core, causing the thermonuclear reaction in the planet's core to directly stop.  And by that time, the planet it is parasitizing will become a complete dead star. When it reaches adulthood and prepares to fly into space, the planet's crust, which was originally loosened by its existence, will become loose due to its presence.  It broke free and collapsed and split, turning into huge meteorite fragments or cosmic dust.

    For a species like humans that must rely on planets to live, the combination of dragon chrysalis and Insat people will be a terrifying combination of natural enemies.  As pure space life, the Dragon Chrysalis and the Insat actually use the planet itself as food.  Therefore, they will not carefully build a planet and consider it their home like humans do.  All their actions are an almost destructive plunder for the planet itself.  In the vast universe, by destroying planets one after another, the number of their own group continues to expand. This is the way of survival of the Insat people.  In the hundreds of millions of years since their birth, they have destroyed countless planets and countless civilizations. Therefore, when they now enter human sight and begin to attack the human world, the only way for human beings is  It is to defend every inch of our land and fight a protracted tug-of-war with them.

    To resist this invasion, the most important condition is to prevent the most terrifying biological weapon, the Dragon Chrysalis, from invading the planet.  As long as there are no parasitic dragon pupae on the planet, then the planet itself is unlikely to suffer destructive trauma within a hundred years, and with hundreds of years of management, humans are enough to squeeze the resources of this planet to the limit.

    From this point of view, there is not much difference between humans and Insat, who are both essentially intelligent species.  Whether they are humans or Insat, their survival must be achieved by plundering planetary resources.  The only difference is that humans are relatively gentle in plundering planetary resources and can parasitize a planet for a long time to regenerate resources to a certain extent, while what the Insat and Dragon Chrysalis are doing is a destructive plunder.  , completely destroying the planet in a short period of time and causing it to be annihilated.

    This can actually be seen from the hatching method of dragon pupa eggs.

    After the Insat deposited walnut-sized dragon pupa eggs in meteorite fragments and pushed the meteorite through the planet's atmosphere to reach the ground, the dragon pupa eggs had to absorb a huge amount of energy during the process of breaking out of the cocoon to successfully break through.  The hard shell is opened and the larvae are born.  And this kind of huge energy generated in an instant is not available on the surface of the planet. Even deep in the core of the earth, it is impossible to generate such a huge amount of energy in an instant.  Therefore, in order to meet such a huge energy requirement, the shell structure of dragon chrysalis eggs similar to Stella coils was born for this purpose.

    Through this Stella coil principle, the dragon pupa's voltage transformation of biological weak electricity can instantly gather the floating electric ions in the planet's atmosphere, generating extremely powerful artificial lightning to collect electrical energy for hatching.

    Therefore, after Colonel Mark discovered this anomaly through the detection of energy activity in the atmosphere, Robin immediately paid enough attention to it.  A large-scale search for Yulong Pupa and the location of the main force of the Yuinsats is about to begin.

    The war is about to break out!  .
