    Although the universe appears empty, through the gravity of nearby celestial bodies, intricate "gravitational channels" are intertwined in the empty space.  Using these "lanes", the spacecraft can save a lot of fuel and energy in its navigation, and even sail completely relying on the gravity of celestial bodies.  But this also has a disadvantage, that is, if you want to maintain a relatively stable position with the surrounding celestial bodies, you need to turn on the anti-gravity device at all times to offset the traction of a large amount of gravity, unless you want to wander around in a dangerous universe.  And the few gravitational balance points that just offset all the gravitational forces have become excellent havens in the universe.  A space port established at a stable gravitational equilibrium point not only has a stable spatial location and convenient transportation, but also often has a very mild astronomical environment nearby.  As soon as the spacecraft leaves the port, it can freely choose a gravitational direction to sail. Not only does the efficiency increase a lot, but more importantly, it saves the limited fuel and energy of the spacecraft. Therefore, now almost all large and medium-sized and most small spaceports have established  At the gravitational equilibrium point.  " However, this also creates some problems, which is the gravitational shift caused by the impact of the space port.  This supply station happens to be a small space port, with only propellers with extremely small thrust.  After being hit so hard by two shipworms, no matter how hard the poor thrusters worked, the tiny thrust could not change anything.  After the shipworm flew a certain distance with the supply station, the alarm started to sound loudly in the supply station.  Wallapura, who had just rolled and crawled into the lifeboat, was so frightened that his blue face turned pale.  At this time, he suddenly realized that he was facing not only the loss of the atmospheric environment of the supply station, but also other more serious problems.  "Gravity shift!" Walrapura exclaimed. Although no one was listening to him, he was talking to himself nervously.  "Sure enough!" Walrapura looked at the implanted computer on one of his tentacles and said, "The engine of this supply station is no longer working. Even if it stops now, the supply station can only continue along this gravitational line.  "Fly down" "The best result of continuing to fly is to become a satellite of a certain celestial body, but Walrapura knows that the most likely possibility is to be hit by a celestial body along the way or crash on some planet.  After careful consideration, Wallapura finally pressed the launch button, and the lifeboat flew out with a whoosh, carrying Wallapura's boundless resentment with it.  Fortunately, the shipworm ignored it and some other lifeboats. At this time, it used its powerful jaws to open the passage to the inside of the supply station, releasing the infected bugs and some nymphs, cockroaches and hydralisks.  The infected insect, which looks like a large worm, stretches out its tentacles and swings around as soon as it lands.  This is when it senses the ingredients in its surrounding environment. This is almost the first thing every bug in the Zerg tribe does after arriving in a strange place.  At the same time, the infected insects are also sensing nearby energy and searching for living creatures.  The nymphs, cockroaches and hydralisks are on alert around the infected insects. Their mission is to protect the infected insects from harm, and part of their mission is to help the infected insects capture the selected targets.  After exploring for a while, the two infected bugs began to crawl slowly, each direction facing a tightly closed sealed gate. As they crawled, they swung their tentacles, aiming all the tentacles at the gate.  On the surface, it seemed like nothing had happened, but when the infected bugs crawled to the gate, the gate opened automatically in a puff of black smoke. At the same time, the alarm light on the top also sounded several times, and then there was a burst of sparks.  End of life.  As soon as the gate was opened, the nymphs, cockroaches and hydralisks rushed out quickly, leading the way for the infected insect, while it itself crawled slowly behind.  There is no way. The size of the worm determines that it cannot move very fast, and the bloated biological brain inside also limits the number of muscles. Naturally, the infected worm cannot move quickly.  Every time you pass through a few gates, the infected insects will stop for a while, explore slowly, and then continue to crawl slowly.  After only a few minutes, the infected bugs stopped in front of a large hatch that seemed to be very strong. The bugs that were scattered around were also summoned by it, and they stopped anxiously in front of the door.  It has discovered that there are many creatures in this warehouse. In order to prevent itself from being harmed or the creatures inside from escaping, the infected bugs first let the bugs block the door.  The tentacles swung again and aimed at the hatch.  If there was an instrument measuring energy at this time, it would be found that in the circuit controlling the hatch, the feedback energy was increasing rapidly, but the protection device seemed to have malfunctioned, turning a blind eye to the abnormality.  In the end, the entire control loop was burned by the huge energy flow, and the hatch slowly opened under the final mechanical protection device. At this time, the mysterious?Most of the energy flow disappeared without any warning.  While this was happening, a lot of things were happening inside the hatch, almost all of which revolved around an alien.  This alien is called Ken, and he comes from a rare race that uses psychic powers.  Without his psychic abilities, the number of aliens here might be less than half.  It was he who felt something abnormal when the infected bugs began to forcefully open the hatch.  It was only with his keen psychic sense that Ken could detect abnormalities, otherwise he wouldn't know what happened until he was knocked down by a bug.  But in fact, his reaction was a little slow. He didn't realize what happened until the hatch was forced to open on its own. It was too late to react. A small gap had already opened in the thick hatch.  Although this gap is not big, it is enough for larvae to get in.  When Ken saw a ferocious head covered with sharp thorns squeezing in, he knew something was wrong. The spiritual energy in his body spurted out subconsciously, and he stepped heavily on his feet, dragging an afterimage of his body towards the nymph.  .  There was only a muffled sound, and the head that had just squeezed in flew out backwards!  He actually kicked the larvae away with one kick. This force was so powerful that the larvae flew upside down and even knocked over several hydralisks.  Fortunately, Ken didn¡¯t have a weapon in his hands. He could only kick the larvae away with his feet. At most, he would leave a footprint on his forehead, but he couldn¡¯t penetrate the larvae¡¯s carapace at all.  But this was enough to shock Li Ping, who was always paying attention here. He didn't expect there to be such a strong alien. After more than ten years of upgrading, the hardness of the carapace of the larvae has been very impressive, and the strength is even more amazing. It can  It will definitely not be easy to suppress the aliens with bare hands.  Li Ping estimated that energy sensing similar to that of the Lajia clan should play an important role in this ability, and the alien's body should also be very strong, and his feet should still be intact under such a strong reaction force. I believe that  It can't be weaker than the carapace of your own nymph.  In fact, Ken was very frightened at this time. He didn't expect that such a small insect could have such a hard shell and such huge power. Even if he tried his best, he could only be knocked away. The opponent's hard carapace made him fly away.  He suffered a lot of damage.  Before he could think about it, a strong sense of crisis enveloped his whole body. His psychic energy had just started to operate when he heard a loud "bang".  A huge impact forced Ken to take several steps back.  He took off the arms that protected his head, glanced at the shields on the arms of the armored protective suit, and couldn't help but feel horrified.  There was a deep scar there that almost penetrated the shield.  You must know that this kind of defense shield is made by Kent. It not only has very strong physical protection capabilities, but also can produce a small amount of energy shield effect in conjunction with his spiritual energy. Taken together, this kind of shield can be used within tens of meters.  From a distance, it can at least withstand shots from electromagnetic rifles with a caliber of 9mm or above.  Although the resistance just now was a bit hasty, Ken fully realized the power of this attack.  After quickly turning his head and looking out of the corner of his eye, he found a sharp short spear nailed to the armored wall a few hundred meters behind him.  The cold color glowed with a cold light, and the special angular edges made Ken suddenly reveal the identity of the opposite party - Zerg!  After Ken decided to participate in this adventure because of the bonus, he has been collecting information about the target. Among the information, he pointed out a long-range insect that shoots short bone spears.  Ken cautiously took a few steps back. He knew that he still underestimated the enemy. At the beginning, he did not expect that this kind of insect would have such a powerful attack power.  Following Ken¡¯s actions, other aliens in the warehouse also reacted. They were holding weapons of various shapes and nervously watching the hatch that slowly opened.  Because the action failed and was unable to stop the bug, Ken cautiously took a few steps back, returned to his original position, and took the weapon from his companion, a big gun!  However, the bug that rushed in first was not the long-range attack bug that Laken had expected, nor was it the melee bug that he had attacked, but another type between them in size.  Ken's keen senses discovered the importance of this insect through the impact of its fast crawling on the ground deck. In fact, it didn't require such keen senses. Others just picked it out from the claws on the deck when it crawled quickly. "  You guessed it from the sound of "bang bang".  This bug is similar to the carapace of a knight's heavy armor, which reminds these aliens of powered heavy armor, a weapon that they rarely have the opportunity to use, but is very powerful.  Fierce firepower began to pour out, and laser guns, electromagnetic guns, particle guns, plasma guns and even airborne laser heavy machine guns began to show their power. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????Although the carapace is thick and has evolved many times, it is still a bit fragile when faced with these alien infantry weapons. The cockroach at the front was directly broken by the fierce firepower, its hard carapace was broken, and its head was shattered.  However, because when Li Ping originally designed it, he placed the biological brain of the insect in the chest cavity, which has the strongest protection, and there are visual, auditory and other sensory organs distributed all over the body, so even if the cockroach loses its head, it will still not stop.  Hesitantly leaped forward.  In the end, the powerful firepower blasted the cockroach into the air. The splashing high-temperature acid liquid mixed and reacted in the air. By the time it splashed onto the deck, at least half of the original liquid had been evaporated by the high temperature generated by its own reaction.  But the firepower it attracted allowed the insects behind to seize the opportunity and rush in at high speed. The insects behind also took advantage of the opening of the hatch to press forward.  There is absolutely no need for the Hydralisk to go in. The hatch has been opened with a large gap, which can fully allow the Hydralisk to output firepower from a long distance. However, it is not easy to encounter an alien who can use mental power and life energy.  Li Ping naturally wanted to know more, so he let the Hydralisk use full firepower, and bone spears were fired one after another as if they were free of charge.  To be honest, Zerg bugs don¡¯t need military pay or food and drink. They can fight as soon as they are born, and the cost is cheap. As long as you supply a full load of ship bugs on the planet, you don¡¯t have to worry about other troubles. This is really a big deal.  It was convenient for Li Ping, otherwise tens of thousands of soldiers would have defeated him.  The Hydralisks with full firepower are, on the one hand, testing the strength of these aliens, and on the other hand, they are also using the Hydralisks' attacks to screen out the stronger and more capable individuals among these mercenaries or Yuthiefs.  In fact, Li Ping was a little worried about the sudden attack of warships with space jumping capabilities, so he compressed the time of this operation to a large extent.  The hard bone spears fired by the powerful muscles of the Hydralisk have long been added with high-frequency capabilities. They are more than capable of dealing with the old protective suits worn by these aliens. As long as they are hit, the bone spears are often completely destroyed.  If it penetrates, the powerful kinetic energy it carries can also knock them away.  However, what surprised Li Ping was that the corrosive ability of the Hydralisk Bone Spear did not work on some aliens.  However, even bone spears without corrosive and explosive effects are enough for these aliens to drink a pot, and the alien race that is not very strong will die immediately.  These bone spears never aimed at Ken, who was standing at the front, but the pressure on him was not much reduced at this time.  Although he couldn't see the scene behind him, his keen sense told him that the casualties behind him were very heavy. Ken also knew that it was absolutely impossible to continue like this.  However, I know that it is a fool's errand to change the current situation. Now with the opening of the hatch, a large number of bugs from outside have poured in. The small bugs that appeared behind are actually so agile and can  After sprinting tens of meters in front of their firepower, the place where he fell was not far from Ken's position.  With his concentrated attention and sharper senses, he captured the flight direction of some bone spears. He held the gun and pulled the trigger fiercely in that direction. He was not sure how many of these frightening targets his attack could kill.  Although he has a sharp and short spear, he must also do his best to protect the companions behind him, and it only counts as many as he can save.  Not only because he was the one who brought them here, but also because he understood that without the assistance and fire support of his companions, he would really be alone, and even the last hope of resistance would be gone.  But his behavior obviously attracted the attention of the infected insect outside.  You must know that no matter how hard they put together the Infected Bugs, they are still a group of people with high-level intelligence. Although they do not have the overall vision of the Inspection Bugs and Ship Bugs, they are absolutely competent in commanding local battles, with just a little experience.  Under the command of the infected insect, some Hydralisks began to turn around and attack the lively Ken.  Only then did Ken feel the tremendous pressure, and the big gun in his hand kept shooting at the flying bone spears without stopping.  Although this kind of big gun that fires high-energy particle clusters through strong pulses is very powerful, its size and weight are not small. More importantly, this weapon is not suitable for continuous shooting. Long-term continuous shooting will cause serious damage.  Elements that affect internal storage and release strong pulses, causing the firearm to respond slower.  Relying on the killing power of high-energy particle clusters and the aiming system of the gun itself, coupled with Ken's own psychic induction, he can easily hit the flying bone spears, but there are so many bone spears that Ken cannot resist them.  Embarrassed.  The big gun's momentary sluggishness allowed several bone spears to pass by. Although Ken, who possesses psychic powers, relied on his extremely high skill to dodge the fatal attack, the big gun in his hand did not escape the attack of the bone spears.  Ken glanced down and immediately panicked. ?Even Ken, who has psychic powers and has always regarded himself as an advanced race, cursed in his heart: Damn, is this still a bug?  Is this bug really spraying calcium bones?  It¡¯s not his fault. After all, the bone spear has high frequency capability. Although it only lasts a few milliseconds when it touches the target, it is enough for the bone spear to penetrate most personal protective equipment.  Not to mention, Ken is less than two hundred meters away from the Hydralisk. The bone spear carrying sufficient energy has extremely powerful high-frequency capabilities. It would be impossible to pierce the large spear made of ultra-high hardness metal in Ken's hand.  Totally possible.  Facts have also proved this. It was not until the big gun in his hand was almost completely cut off by the short spear fired by the opponent's creature that he truly realized the true strength of his opponent, without the help of a group of rabble behind him who had been frightened by the Zerg and had no resistance at all.  reminder, dropped the gun and surrendered.  This group of rabble-rousers are originally Yu Pirates, or members of some small mercenary groups. Saving their lives is the most important thing for them.  ¡°And Ken is not one of those bratty Lajas, nor will he defend any glory to the death. In his opinion, his own life is far more important than the so-called glory.  But he didn't know that it was the lack of this seemingly vain glory that caused their race to live under the despotic power of the Laja tribe at the top of the universe.  Besides, Li Ping, who was walking on the satellite, couldn't help but feel happy after seeing the only alien with some resistance surrendering. Now he spent less time, which meant that he had enough time to act on the next target.  , and this goal still cannot be separated from the help of the infected bugs hiding behind the bugs.  The next target of these infected bugs is the supply depot itself.  Of course, Li Ping did not want to control or occupy this supply station. What he was interested in was actually the energy core and communication system in this supply station.  Although the level is very low, the energy core and communication devices in this supply station actually belong to the same series as the "similar" warships in the large mercenary groups.  Since they belong to the same series, they will be more or less the same. How could Li Ping give up such a good research opportunity?  So, in addition to the death virus, another talent of the infected bugs emerged, which is to study the energy core and communication system of aliens through the sensitivity of mental power to energy and electromagnetism.  The former is studied because the Zerg are indeed far inferior to these aliens in terms of energy storage and high-power use, so the Zerg need to study and learn.  The latter can be classified into the category of intelligence warfare. If the electromagnetic communication methods used by these space thieves and mercenaries can be deciphered, it will be extremely beneficial to the Zerg whether it is a sneak attack or escape.  ;
