    Li Ping, walking on the planet, stared at the beautiful space with nostalgia.  Although this operation was very successful, Li Ping didn't have much joy on his face because the gap was too far. Both he and the Zerg had a long way to go.  Finally, the shipworms that appeared in the sky broke the silence. In just a few dozen minutes while Li Ping stared into space, all the shipworms completed the collection and assembly of worker bees, and one of them landed to pick up Li Ping.  Li Ping has already planned all the routes. Now that the Zerg fleet is setting off, it will happen to meet two small shipworms that are retreating halfway. After they merge, they turn a corner and face the direction of a pulsar.  After two short hyperspace voyages of more than ten light years, you can encounter a very small nebula group, about the size of two solar systems.  In this small nebula composed of hydrogen gas and a large amount of dust, there was something Li Ping longed for.  Although the content is very small, the information extracted from the memories of several aliens shows that this small nebula indeed contains silicon crystal!  However, because the content is very small, the equipment required for mining is relatively complex and the size is also large. Originally, this group of mercenaries planned to deal with the Zerg and then go back and mine slowly. Who would have thought that the Zerg would be so difficult to deal with, so this  The place was temporarily forgotten.  But Li Ping noticed it!  Not only is it far away from the alien flight path, but there is also a stable pulsar nearby.  In the eyes of aliens, no matter space pirates, mercenaries or commercial fleets.  There are some common rules when it comes to space navigation, one of which is to stay as far away as possible from pulsars that can stably provide navigation.  Furthermore, the nebula has not yet formed stars and planets, but it is still relatively dense in some places under its own gravity. These places will produce a large amount of infrared radiation and electromagnetic waves, which permeate the nebula and can effectively hide the shipworms.  whereabouts.  The most important thing is that although the content of silicon crystal in the nebula is small, the total amount is really quite a lot, which is enough to make Li Ping excited.  As the shipworm's tentacles were retracted, Li Ping's human body returned to the shipworm's body and began to focus on the experiment. He had a rare opportunity to relax just now, so Li Ping would not miss it, but the Zerg still had a long way to go, and he thought he still had a long way to go.  Far from being able to relax as much as you want.  ———————————————————— On the other side of the universe, Fisto, who was squatting in his mothership in a good mood, had just received the news that his cousin was asking for help.  Stoll had already set off with his people.  Although due to the identity of the branch, the intelligence collection on him was not timely, but this time Fisto knew that Sostor was destined to fail.  Sure enough, news of the Zerg's escape came after a while. Although the news was not detailed enough, based on the information he knew so far, he could more or less make a rough guess.  When he thought of Sostor's angry and twisted expression, Fisto couldn't help but feel happy.  For many years, Sostor has been relying on the advantages brought by his bloodline to suppress himself. Although he has not obtained the Zerg this time, he can let Sostor eat the turtles. He feels that letting the Zerg go this time is worth it.  Although the Lajia people have always looked down upon those who played tricks, Fisto didn't care at all. He knew that he was somewhat different from most of the Lajia people. Compared with facing the enemy head-on, he still preferred to win with tactics.  But when his strength is strong enough, he doesn't mind fighting head-on.  "Sure enough, every time I think about it, I feel amazing!" While paying attention to the news about Sostol, Fisto still had time to think about the problem. During this period of time, through research on the materials brought back, Fisto  I feel more and more magical about the Zerg.  Even without the use of silicon crystals and high-energy crystal oil, Fisto was puzzled that it could develop to this extent just by relying on the radiation energy of stars and fossil energy on the planet.  They are also Laja people, and Fisto's own forces are not technologically developed. For them, rough-skinned battleships can be called technology! And biology, cosmology, space science, etc.,  They all regard it as dirt. Anyway, if necessary, you can buy technology from Knulla with some silicon crystals, and it also comes with guaranteed repairs and replacements, and a complete set of considerate services.  Even war can’t stop them. In Li Ping’s view, this is simply the cosmic version of Jewish Freemasonry.  Like an acrobatic, Fisto played with the recording crystal that he suddenly took out from nowhere, spinning or floating in the air. Sometimes it flew out like a cannonball, only to be dragged back by the invisible clutches.  Thanks to the excellent genes of the Laga clan, Fisto can skip the instrument and read the information in the recording crystal by relying only on his own mental power.  The information in this recording crystal was sorted out after research by his technology team.??'s Zerg report.  Fisto was very surprised by the Zerg energy source mentioned in the report.  Mineral energy, thermal energy, radiation energy, etc., can all be absorbed and utilized by the Zerg, and these energies can be found near almost any celestial body.  This theoretically provides extremely strong environmental adaptability.  Because this is the case for the Laja tribe of Fisto. They only need to carry a small amount of equipment with them to survive in places where the environment is not too harsh.  Relying on the energy extracted from advanced equipment, the Laja clan can maintain good combat effectiveness in that harsh environment.  Although the Zerg can do the same, compared to the Laja tribe, the energy utilization rate of the Zerg is too low. In Fisto's eyes, this utilization rate is simply outrageously low.  Even though the Zerg have strong survivability, Fisto believes that without the support of efficient energy, the Zerg simply cannot exert its advantages.  In Fisto’s understanding, no matter what type of civilization, if it wants to develop and grow, and if it wants to obtain strong military power, energy is the most important.  Not to mention that all those weapons require a large amount of energy supply. Just landing on the planet or just sailing requires a lot of energy, let alone light-speed compression sailing or hyperspace sailing and space jumping.  The latter two have extremely strict energy requirements, not only in terms of quality, but also in terms of quantity, which is enough to drain several energy-poor secondary galaxies.  “Compared to energy, the acquisition of resources is much simpler.  Not to mention the most common metals, even ordinary stone celestial bodies can be transformed into various non-metallic materials.  I was really desperate, so I directly used the reactor to synthesize various elements through nuclear reactions.  ??Fisto has this kind of technology, and it’s quite efficient.  This means having food in hand and not panic, because even in the worst case scenario, Fisto is confident that he can slowly develop and grow with meager resources.  With such confidence, and the fact that at a young age he possesses powerful psychic abilities that are not weaker than those of his orthodox royal cousin, Fisto does not think that anything unexpected will happen if he is a little more aggressive.  "I'm very happy, but" Thinking of Chikesel who had spread the news, even Fisto, who was fearless, felt troubled.  Moreover, he did not want to expose the existence of the Zerg prematurely, which showed that there were obvious loopholes in his plan.  And this loophole actually lies in Qikesel, who is famous for his chaos. Not to mention him, not even the entire Lajia clan has many informants there.  On the contrary, his rival Keston has some connections there. After all, the products brought by their advanced technology are quite popular there.  But for this race, other people can get help at a certain price, but the Lajia tribe cannot get help. They will even be happy to lend a helping hand when the Lajia tribe is in trouble.  Fisto doesn’t know exactly when the grudge started. Only by asking the old guys in the royal family can he gain some insights.  But as a branch, I have never been welcomed by them, and I can't be bored and ask for trouble Fisto, who was thinking, suddenly came back to his senses, smashed the recording crystal with force, and opened his eyes happily.  Opened his arrogant mouth.  The content in the recording crystal was very ordinary. He read it quickly, but he was just thinking about how to extend his tentacles into Chikesel.  Until the appearance of an ugly low-level creature in his aesthetic view appeared in his mind, Fisto knew how inferior the middle- and low-level civilizations he secretly befriended at the risk of being discovered by the tribe and then alienated and expelled  Smart and great move.  "My own people can't get in, but it doesn't mean that my little brother can't get in."  And the lower the race and civilization, the easier it is to enter a place like Chikesel.  Fisto is sure that they, who have never known what their little brother is, will never think of relying on lower civilizations to infiltrate under the current situation. It can be said that in this competition, he already has a good foundation from the beginning.  .  However, what makes Fisto a little unhappy is that he doesn’t have many manpower!  Although he has a giant mothership, there are not many truly trustworthy and capable subordinates, so he has to do some things by himself.  “Furthermore, he also knows that the younger brothers he tries to win over are often very loyal and obedient, which is crucial to his current planned actions.  Fisto set off without any worries, but far away, his cousin was not in such a good mood.  Not to mention being escaped by the Zerg, and then the news about the Zerg was leaked. Just now, a supply depot in a key position was attacked by the Zerg again, causing serious damage.  This made Sostor, who had always relied on the Ragja royal family and looked down on other races, very angry. He was just a bug.So arrogant!  If it hadn't been for the purpose of hiding when they came out, these tiny bugs would have been caught by themselves.  But now that things have developed like this, there is no need to hide. Everyone knows the existence of the Zerg. If we continue to hide, we will not have enough strength to compete with others for meat.  So it can be imagined that for a while, the alien society was in a state of chaos, with troops mobilizing and deploying defenses everywhere, for only one thing, and that was the Zerg!  If Li Ping knew about it, I wonder if he would be happy. After all, almost every civilization and country in the entire universe has been attracted by this little bug like him.  Sostor, who was sitting helplessly in the mercenary flagship, was not happy at all, because even if he used his family's power, he could not reach it so quickly. Now he could only stay in this "little one" in his eyes.  "Broken Ship".  How could such a broken ship be what he wanted? You know, he had always lived in his own mothership that was like a gorgeous palace.  Not only that, you can tell which is the BOSS and where is the minion just by looking at the size, not to mention the combat capabilities.  Thorstal believed that if his own mothership were here now, the Zerg might have been captured long ago, and they would not be as aggrieved as they are now.  There are many others who feel the same as Sostor, and most of them are heirs like him, or heirs in line.  For the Zerg, a target that adults look down on, these "children" are just right for training. If they really get it, it will be a big help in the struggle for power.  But they didn’t know that it was their idea that gave the Zerg time to develop.  Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Ping to lead ten poor ship insects to escape from the siege.  While thinking in his mind, Sostol listened to the report of his staff. Although he was able to multi-task with his profound spiritual power, he was so angry by the content of the report that he stopped thinking.  More than 80% of the propellant supply was lost, at least 60% of the energy supply was lost, and various consumables and parts were so scarce that even a warship could not be repaired.  This is not a supply station, it is a complete ruin.  This makes the various "heirs" who are eager to catch the Zerg to vent their anger feel frustrated.  Relying on the power of their own family and civilization, how have they ever encountered such treatment?  However, due to the rush, many warships were not replenished along the way. Energy was fine, but supplies, especially propellant and various food and consumable supplies, were insufficient, which made some warships dare not set sail again at all.  And the fighter planes carried by these mercenaries on the battleships are not high-end goods, and their range is naturally not far, so it is impossible to send them out to search for the Zerg.  Sostol also considered reconnaissance satellites or unmanned outposts, but the complex environment and long distances in the universe made them useless. After all, their design goals were not high-mobility vehicles like the Zerg. Let these slow,  It is naturally impossible for a "snail" that cannot carry much propellant to chase a flexible "rabbit".  "But Sostol is not willing to accept this anger, what should we do?"  After a moment's thought, Sostol targeted the source of the news that made him lose face - Chaos Fortress Chikesel!  After making up his mind, he ordered the people below to do the job. As for how to infiltrate and who to use to infiltrate, it is not his concern. He is the leader, and it is his job to make decisions!  What Li Ping doesn't know is that this coincidence in the real world can sometimes not be explained clearly with drama, because this chaotic fortress in the marginal galaxy is exactly on the only way for the Zerg to enter the civilized galaxy, and indeed in this fortress  On Li Ping's infiltration list.  —————————————————— Chaos Fortress, a space city transformed from an old military space fortress, quietly floating in the neutral universe market, a place without  There are no restrictions under the law, regardless of status or experience, as long as you are here, if you have money, you are the boss.  Of course, even if you have no money, you can still ensure the most basic safety.  However, the most attractive thing here is nothing else but the convenience that money can buy everything, including a lot of contraband.  So, whether you want to buy something prohibited or want to sell something prohibited, you will come here. For those who have money or something in their hands, this is a paradise.  In this paradise, the few Yupipas who survived the Zerg's hands lived a very good life.  After the arduous journey back with the spacecraft assembled from parts on the battlefield, they unanimously decided to quit.  It just so happened that Captain Paz used his connections to open a shop here, so everyone came here to work as a clerk honestly.   Of course, they can't honestly sell some legal things. After all, in the Chaos Fortress, legal things can't be sold for a lot of money. All the things they sell are prohibited items obtained through Paz's secret channels.  Equipment, many are even directly military parts.  Relying on these things to support the scene, they can still support their families. If they are lucky enough to get rare equipment, they can also make a lot of money.  Although the passion of the past is gone, for this group of "old" pirates, tranquility is not as good as vigorousness. What they are pursuing now is such a peaceful life.  "The head is back!" Someone shouted. The aliens who were squatting in the shop in twos and threes, either in a daze or chatting, all stood up and looked out the door.  In order to make more effective use of the space in the space city, the interior of this chaos fortress is divided into several layers like an onion. Within each layer, there are horizontal, vertical, or diagonal armors. These armors that can generate gravity are  Respective floor, the shop is located on the floor.  After looking around, they finally found their boss, Paz, the former captain of the Endeavor. They saw him moving between the complex transfer gravity-free area and the transfer channel, and soon arrived.  In front of his own shop.  "Huh~" Paz exhaled a long breath, and some water vapor was reflected in the breathing mask.  "Gravity feels so good!" "Go on!" Kiske, the former adjutant of the Endeavor, picked up a can-shaped object and threw it at Paz.  Paz took a step forward, passed through a membrane, and the breathing mask on his head opened automatically.  He took the stuff without looking at it, opened it and poured it into his mouth, until he finished the drink and exhaled hard.  “The human body is not well adapted to the environment of the universe, and he has just returned from working on a spaceship for several days, so one can imagine the physical and mental fatigue.  But at this time, besides being tired, his face was full of excitement.  "Hey, I got a good thing this time!" Looking at his companion's curious face, Paz didn't care about his fatigue, so he kept it secret for now.  Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the curiosity of this group of aliens became even more intense. The "magician" was already eager to try, and Kisk's eyes also glowed green.     nice one?  What is a good thing?  Maybe others are still busy with one or two handy weapons, a half-powerful engine, but here, relying on their boss, they have obtained prohibited equipment not only in middle-level civilizations, but even in high-level civilizations.  Although it is an old second-hand product, it is still something from a higher civilization. For these group of space thieves living on the edge of society, even a piece of high-civilization footcloth is a good thing, although the aliens are very  There may not be a footcloth.  What will the good thing the boss said this time be?  Isn't it something from advanced civilization?  Even if it weren’t for getting rich this time, it would be certain!  Paz did not directly explain what it was. Instead, he closed the door of the store secretly. Even the air maintenance system was disconnected from the space city and began to operate alone.  After being relatively safe, Paz slowly said: "The things will not be handled in the store. After all, the things are too valuable. I contacted the buyer directly. The things will arrive in three revolution cycles. At that time, we will only do  "Guide." Paz's words shocked the others. How could Paz not just drag the items back to the store openly and openly despite the envy and jealousy of other stores, and hang the big ones directly outside in the private space they rented?  In the port, he didn't expect that this time things would make him so cautious.  After a slight disappointment, they were ecstatic. The more expensive the item, the greater the profit, and they looked forward to the days to come.  ;
