Chapter 15 The Fork in the Task
Looking at the apostles arguing in the hall, Qin Lun was distracted and his mind returned to two days ago.
Two days ago, an exercise that should have been without any troubles occurred, and a minor accident occurred in the middle. The apostles encountered some creatures that looked like big spiders in the universe.
This sudden ambush allowed the apostles to learn about the existence of the Gigus Zerg. According to Captain Marquez, the Gigus Zerg was originally a smart life in the Gigus Galaxy, just like the Gigus people.
The Gith Galaxy is an extremely large galaxy, including about 800 billion stars and a large number of star clusters, nebula, and various interstellar gases and dust. Its diameter is about 340,000 light-years and its central thickness is roughly estimated to be 100,000 light-years. It is a vortex galaxy with a star core and seven spiral arms.
After entering the Second Universe Age, the Gith humans began to walk out of their stellar system and march into the depths of the Gith galaxy. During their exploration and interstellar colonization, the Gith people discovered thousands of life stars with life characteristics, among which a total of 54 indigenous people with humanoid wisdom.
In the early days when the Giths entered the second era of the universe, Giths were a highly aggressive and intelligent race. They drove out all the natives on the life stars, and then occupied and developed the resources of those life stars to make them have the geographical environment for Giths to immigrate.
Not to mention the life star without humanoid wisdom, the life race with humanoid wisdom will of course resist the invasion of the Giths to the death in order to maintain its own home. Unfortunately, among the fifty-four intelligent races, most of them are uncivilized civilizations, and only thirteen races have modern technology.
However, even so, these races have not yet entered the cosmic era. The resistance army shattered like soap bubbles in front of the Giths' space warships.
The early colonization activities of the Giths were very smooth. They quickly occupied nearly a quarter of the Giths galaxy. At their peak, they had three and a half galaxy spiral arms and began to march towards the core of the galaxy.
The peak period of the Gis people was until the end of the second era of the universe, perhaps because of their luck. When the Gis people headed towards the fifth spiral arm, they encountered two powerful enemies at the same time, one of which was the Gigus Zerg.
The Gigus Zerg also entered the second era of the universe and walked out of its own star system. This intelligent race is not humanoid creatures, they are rare intelligent insects.
This may be related to the poor geographical environment of Gigus, where active volcanoes and saline-alkali lakes are full of sulfur-flavored air, the surface is full of saline-alkali vegetation containing radiation substances, and only some special insects can survive and reproduce.
The Gigus Zerg is a matriarchal society that adheres to most of the physiological characteristics of Zerg, such as a population with only one mother, and most individuals are low-intelligent engineers, etc.
Strangely, although the Gigus Zergs entered the second universe era, their development history was very unique. They did not have the so-called technological civilization, but developed a special biochemical civilization.
The Gigus Zergs do not have technological weapons, their weapons are their bodies and minions. For example, the big spider that Qin Lun and others encountered during the exercise was an authentic bug. Even the warships they used to cross the universe were also a huge bug.
According to Captain Marquez, the history of the Gigus Zerg may be longer than that of the Gigus humans and is more aggressive than that of the Gigus humans, but the territory currently occupied by the Zerg is pitifully small, with only half of the galaxy spiral arm.
The captains of the Gis who met the Gigus Zerg earlier were very confused about this, but they soon knew the reason.
The reason why the Zerg failed to get out of its spiral arms and expanded to other spiral arms like the Gis people was because the Zerg encountered a even-matched opponent at the beginning of its development.
The Zerg, which has a demon-like body, is a beautiful creature that makes the tall and toned Giths feel ashamed of themselves, called the Hesmael tribe.
Until the Gis people won the battle of the tribes, they discovered a shocking fact on the leader of the Hismael tribe. Although the Hismael people and the Gis people were completely different in shape, their ancestors were the same source, that is, the Gis Angels. The Gis people inherited the human appearance of the Gis Angels, while the Hismael people inherited the soul of the Gis Angels.
In the ancient books of the Hesmael people, the two common ancestor, the Gith Angels, had an extremely brilliant civilization, and their footprints spread throughout the Gith Galaxy.
However, the Gith Angels are different from the Giths. They are a very peaceful and intelligent race. They never invade the life stars with their existing characteristics, and only transform in a small amount of wastelands and help the weak life stars develop their own civilization, just as they did on the Giths.
Even so, the Gise Angels still felt that they had invaded the Gise Galaxy too much. In the late stage of civilization, they finally embarked on a path of no return. They began to pursue eternal life, abandoned their bodies, retained only their souls, and thus gave birth to the Hesmael tribe.
The records in this part are relatively vague and have a large blank history. The Gies and the Hismael have different understandings. The Gies believe that the Gies Angels failed and eventually disappeared into the universe. The Gies believe that the Gies Angels succeeded, but they left the Gies Galaxy and began to explore other parts of the universe.
However, there is a common understanding between the two, that is, the Gise Angel experienced many setbacks in the process of life transformation and lost many crucial technological precipitation. The result was that the civilization of its descendant, the Hesmer people, had been regressed for thousands of years.
If this is not the case, the rising star Gigus Zerg would not be able to confront the Hesmael people at all.
Captain Marquez did not say much about the three tribe battle between the Gis, the Gigus Zerg and the Hesmael tribe, but hesitated to say that the Gis won the final victory and drove the Gigus Zerg and the Hesmael tribe out of the Gis Galaxy together.
Seeing the ugly face of the combat hero, Qin Lun knew with his butt that the way the Gis people won this victory was not very bright. Just think about it, the big spider that Qin Lun and others met during the exercise almost suffered a big loss even when they were caught off guard.
It is hard to imagine that the Giths, who had no soldiers or APB force fields, could defeat them. As for the Hesmer tribe who suppressed the Giths in a corner of the spiral arm for thousands of years, let alone.
It is very likely that the Gis people took advantage of the two races' losses and won the war, and then they won the victory. They used the war dividends to develop biochemical technology similar to the Gigus Zerg, and with the help of the Hesmers, they entered the third universe era explosively.
Qin Lun's speculation was very close to the facts. The opportunity for the Gis people to enter the third universe era was to obtain the battle of the three clans.
However, the only thing the Ringgits did not expect was that although they won the war at the Fifth Rotary Arm, another exploration activity also dug a grave for themselves.
After entering the Third Universe Age for only two thousand years, they have been exploring deep in the core of the galaxy and introducing the cosmic plankton Jannamer.
The word is always strong and declining. This term seems to be tailor-made for the GIS people. The appearance of Jannamer caused the GIS people, who occupied nearly one-third of the life stars in the GIS system to suffer a devastating blow.
Like the Gigus Zerg and Hismael tribes who were defeated two thousand years ago, they were also driven out of the Gis Galaxy. At the same time, they also lost more than 90% of the population during the war and subsequent interstellar wanderings.
This extinct disaster made the Gise people heartbroken, and also brought them new ways of thinking. The Gise people began to review their past interstellar colonization and gradually understood the practices of their ancestors, Gise Angels.
If they were not so aggressive in the development of the Gith Galaxy, they could understand and respect other intelligent races. Perhaps they would not be so isolated and helpless in the war with Jannamer, and would not even attract Jannamer at all.
"Qin Lun, Qin Lun..." Robin's voice woke Qin Lun up from his memories. When he looked up, he found that everyone's eyes were on his face.
"What's wrong with this?" Qin Lun touched his nose embarrassedly and asked with a wry smile.
"What about your opinion?" Robin glanced at him angrily and repeated what everyone had just talked about, "You proposed two days ago that Marquez gave us the right to act alone. What do you think now?"
"Oh~~" Qin Lun understood what Robin meant, and immediately remembered the request made by Captain Marquez to the apostles two days ago after learning that the Gigus Zerg appeared on the march route.
Captain Marquez is very familiar with the Gigus worm like a big spider. This is the Gigus Zerg scout named "Black Crab" by the Gigus people. It usually appears at the forefront of the Gigus army or base.
Black crabs will capture anything with life characteristics on the reconnaissance route, provide intelligence to the army or base, and clear potential hidden dangers. Where they appear means that there are Zerg army or Zerg bases nearby.
The life star of the Gis people is a bit far away from here. Captain Marquez is not worried about their safety, but the destination of the trip to Faith is not far away. Marquez is worried that it might be a Zerg base there.
The original faith number chose the planet codename X-352 because of its unique geographical location and an excellent environment that may have water sources and atmosphere, which facilitates the establishment of small bases.
But now I think that the Giss people were able to wander to the Scorpio constellation after leaving the Giss galaxy. Then the Giss Zerg and even the Hessmeier might be in the Scorpio galaxy. However, because the three tribes have not yet developed in the Scorpio galaxy for a short time.
According to this judgment, Marquez asked the apostles to take a small battleship to head to the X-353 planet to conduct outpost reconnaissance for the Faith.
