Taking a deep breath, Meta began to tell, "The galaxy is facing a life and death war. The threat of natural disaster Swarm is getting bigger and bigger. The main fleet of our civilization was overwhelmed by the endless sea of worms in a key battle."

"This is an unfair confrontation. The most common frigate requires a hundred members to operate, the overall coordination of four departments, dozens of related majors and parts manufacturers, and hundreds of thousands of parts that take a day to be assembled in the foundry before being put into the sea."

"I've seen how those bugs hatched the fleet. It was a disgusting and huge meat ball. They were like ants' Queen. They could increase the number of bugs day and night."

"In the Army, a soldier needs to be trained for at least a year before being sent to the battlefield. On the battlefield, he is also a new recruit, and what he can do is very limited. Hatchery of Swarm can hatch combat bugs that are no weaker than the Marines at a speed of one hundred thousand, one million, or hundreds of millions."

"If I want to fight such an enemy, what choices should I make so that our civilization can compete with it?"

The electronic sound on the other end of the communication line was silent for a long time, and Meta waited patiently.

"The calculation result of the central processor is that you will definitely lose, and there is no way to turn defeat into victory. I suggest that you exchange for some alloys or ships to support it longer."

The cold electronic sound shattered Meta's hopes.

"Is the great stagnant power still unwilling to help us, the people of the galaxy?" Meta's voice had a hint of despair.

"Wars, disputes, and destruction between civilizations are all very normal. We have seen too many in the past tens of millions of years. You are still children who have not grown up, and you need to learn to grow through pain."

"You don't have to worry about the extinction of your race. We have collected your genetic samples, and there are people of your kind in Area B432 of Ring World 2."

"We will not interfere in wars between civilizations. This is a stipulation of the procedure." The electronic voice was even colder.

"No, no, no, this is completely different from the war between us. Those bugs want Consume to exist in the entire galaxy. Shroud explained their purpose of coming here. Their history is very long, maybe older than... than the great stagnant Holy Power."

Meta still wanted to fight for it, "Aren't you the guardians of life in the galaxy?"

"Stagnation Holy Power is a very good name. Protection Protocol likes it very much because it is very accurate. Our technology has stagnated, and you are the future."

"We cannot kill the hope for the future. The Swarm you are talking about are no different from you in the eyes of the agreement. They are also immature and their thinking is still at the level of using war to solve problems."

"The length of history does not represent the maturity of civilization. In your society, there are also people who are very old, but still have a childlike innocence."

"The CPU is not interested in Swarm. If possible, we will collect their genes and protect them like you. Such species are very rare."

"Even if this species really makes the Milky Way extinct in the future, they can't destroy it. It won't take a few million years for the Milky Way to be lively again. This is the law and law of the universe."

What the electronic voice said left Meta speechless, because it made so much sense. The Milky Way is eternal, and the civilization of the universe is just an accident.

"Aren't you afraid that Swarm will defeat you? Destroy everything you have worked so hard for, including here, this beautiful ring world has been overrun by ugly bugs Consume..."

The electronic sound was silent for a while, and Meta thought his persuasion had an effect.

"If that's the case, that would be great." The answer was completely beyond Meta's expectations.

"If they can do this, it proves that this new Zerg is very powerful and has potential, and has completely surpassed us. It is one of our wishes to see civilization develop upward."

"Just like a father who sees his child growing up beyond himself, the loss is certain, but more importantly, he is relieved and happy. As I said before, we are stagnant, and we hope to see a progressive future."

This time it was Mehta who fell silent, and his silence lasted much longer...

When the Randall fleet left, three Titan-class battleships also left with it. This was the result of Ambassador Meta's efforts all night.

If he had not had such a profound exchange with the Stagnant Holy Power, he would have felt that this was a great diplomatic victory for him. With these three battleships, the Randalls were destined to return to the permanent seat of the Security Council.

But now he was no longer in the mood. The Holy Power of Stasis told him that they would lose in the face of Swarm. So Meta locked himself in the bedroom and suffered the pain of this result alone in the dark.

General Gufu was much more excited. When he came, he was salivating over these huge Titan battleships. Now he only had one thing on his mind, how to find a way to become the captain of one of the battleships. As for which one, he would still have to struggle for a while.

Perhaps Gufu was too excited, and his emotions were conveyed to most of the crew, including the radar operator.

He ignored a trace passing through the radar net. Even if he looked carefully, he might not be able to see anything. He would think it was just a comet.

Abaddon's Swarm fleet has been sailing in the hyperspace channel for almost a month. Stellaris Council has been launching attacks recently. Abaddon does not want to fight them. It wants to leave far away and rebuild its own laboratory.

However, a good galaxy is not easy to find, it takes time and luck. Coincidentally, Abaddon suddenly got lucky. His investigation Cerebrate discovered a small galaxy with a remote location and Hatchery's mental fluctuations.

This is great. Abaddon was very calm and well-prepared when evacuating. His fleet of one hundred thousand Swarm has remained intact during such a long interstellar voyage, and it is easy to capture a small Hatchery.

With a small Hatchery as the basis, its development will be much faster. The development speed of Swarm has always been exponential. As long as one step is faster, it will be faster step by step.

Zhang Han, who was not in any danger, was still devoting part of his energy to playing games while talking to Skadi, who had completed his transformation.

Skadi hasn't changed much, her body is basically the same as before, because Skadi's Psionics talent is extremely strong, and the transformation mainly complements her original bloodline, which has become no longer pure due to generations of mixed blood.

In addition, there is a pair of bone wings on her back. This organ can be used as a weapon and can also increase her Psionics. Of course, this is not enough. A thicker and longer Neural Thorn is also connected to the back of her head. This thorn is directly connected to the brain, which greatly increases her mental power.

It can be said that in terms of mental strength of Skadi in this state, apart from Cerebrate in Hatchery, it is only lower than Overmind, Zhang Han and Hive Mind.
