Chapter 446 A feeble attempt
In some hidden corner of the universe.
After the successful jump, the Gaia Space Station was in complete silence, without any sign of popularity.
Only Huihuang continued to adjust various parameters of the space station when the galaxy situation changed after the jump, making the sound of subtle changes in the space station sound here.
But soon, the colonial management team that had been here before reappeared.
However, one person was missing.
Lu Kang noticed this immediately and asked: "Mr. Wu, he..."
Huihuang directly stated what had just happened: "His vital signs have been confirmed to have disappeared, and the last picture has been saved."
After speaking, he even directly projected the last scene recorded by the recording device Wu An carried with him just now.
The scene of the moment when Wu An faced the Queen and was killed instantly was placed in front of everyone.
"..."
Silence dominated the atmosphere in the conference room.
Whether it's seeing someone close to you die, or seeing a level 6 psyker being killed with almost no resistance.
In short, everyone in the conference room didn't know what to say.
But soon, Tian Xian, who had already mourned for Wu An in his heart for a short while, quickly got over the news of Wu An's death.
He asked Huihuang: "Where are we now?"
"In the stable space between two adjacent black holes that Mr. Chen Ming found, the gravitational pull of the two black holes has reached a wonderful balance."
"Light cannot escape from here, so our position will not be exposed. It is also a wonder of the universe."
"The star gate can still be used normally after adjusting the parameters."
"At the same time, the original two galaxies, Siyuan and Gaia, have merged. After the merger, they were named Siyuan, with a total of thirteen planets."
"The Gaia star of the original source galaxy and the Gaia planet of the Gaia galaxy are renamed Gaia-1 and Gaia-2 from today."
"Merge?"
Tian Xuan couldn't imagine how two galaxies would merge for a while, and if the planets really merged, there would still be a question: "What about the stars?"
"The two stars have formed a stable binary star system."
"This is a result that has been calculated before. As long as the binary star system is stable enough and Gaia consciousness protects the planet, the habitable planet will not be affected too much. Only the planet's revolution period will change."
Tian Xuan thoughtfully said: "No wonder he came to me before to ask whether Gaia plants in some special star systems can survive..."
After Huihuang explained the situation in the outside world after the twin galaxy transition, he added: "The curtain protecting the space station will soon dissipate, and you will be able to see the changes outside soon."
"I have also been bringing back the colonial population and afterglow cores that I took away before. The colony will return to normal soon."
"Then what should we do next?"
"Do what needs to be done, continue to send afterglow and engineering facilities to surrounding areas, and expand the colony."
"This place will be absolutely safe within ten years, and we are only temporarily hiding here without cutting off contact with the outside world. We can still provide all help to the empire."
"Let the empire last longer, or let the empire rest in a more dignified place, and preserve the last hope of mankind."
Tian Xuan had no objection to what Huihuang said. Anyway, he would find a way to get his wife and daughter back in the future.
"Then there is one more thing, Mr. Wu's funeral."
Huihuang took this task on himself: "I will be responsible. When the time comes, I will set up his statue near the fairy tree."
"Don't spend too much time commemorating the dead. It's meaningless. We have other things to do."
Tian Zhang nodded with great understanding, patted Lu Kang on the shoulder, turned and left the conference room.
He walked out of the conference room for a while, and a brilliant voice suddenly sounded next to him: "Aren't you worried about something?"
"There's nothing to worry about for me, and I should be the least worried."
What Tian Zhang said has a very obvious direction.
"I never thought my daughter could come back to me, but he helped me do it, so I have no doubt what will happen in the future."
"Even if the Resurrection Mechanical Fluid may not be able to resurrect a complete level 6 psyker, he will definitely try his best to do it."
"And I believe that Mr. Wu also had this thought before making his decision."
"We just have to believe that he will come back."
at the same time.
The capital of the empire.
The Minister of Psychics is busy sending order documents to the various departments he is responsible for.
Not only because of the current war, but also because of the unsettling four words he just received from Chen Ming Colony.
What's more, after receiving those four words, the connection between the empire and Chen Ming's colony has been unilaterally severed.
Only Chen Ming Colony can send the news over, and they have no way to take the initiative to contact them.
And what's worse is that none of the news sent over there is good news.
The star gate is restarted, the colossus is invalid, and the sky is damaged.
This series of events makes it difficult for everyone who knows what is happening in Chen Ming's colony to feel at ease.
Ministers must be prepared for the worst outcomes.
But when he answered the call from his secretary, he encountered the worst result that he had never imagined.
"Mr. Wu An was confirmed dead during the battle with the awakened Survivor Queen."
The minister's hand on the corner of his desk crushed a small piece of the corner into powder.
He quickly brushed the sawdust off his hands and asked, "What happened?"
"There is only one picture transmitted over there, I will send it to you immediately."
A video file soon appeared on the minister's computer.
This is Wu An's first perspective.
From the moment Wu An arrived at the Queen's car, to the Queen's figure appearing in front of him, to the moment the shadow of the Psychic City dissipated, his chest was penetrated.
In just twenty seconds, one of the empire's top psykers died here.
The minister was silent, listening to the secretary's voice ringing from the terminal: "Chen Ming had previously installed galaxy-level jump facilities in each of his two systems. Wu An's delay allowed everyone else in the colony to be safe and sound."< br>
"It is currently confirmed that the Queen has passed through the wormhole, and she is... not too far from our location."
"The Queen seems not to be in a hurry to launch an attack on the Empire, but plans to convert the nano-planet near the exit of the wormhole first."
"We also have a small number of records here to prove this."
It took a long time after the secretary finished speaking before the minister finally replied: "I understand."
"The second one...who would have thought it would be him..."
"Post an obituary and warn all other psykers on standby to be prepared."
"What preparation?"
"No one can escape death in battle... and preparation for the destruction of the empire."
"Say it directly? No need to use a little rhetoric?"
"No, just tell everyone the cause and effect. There is really no need to hide any clues at this time."
"I understand, I will inform them now."
"Yeah."
"There may be news from the Grand Consul later. I might have to go to a meeting. If anyone has questions about Wu An, let them wait. I will answer them then."
"Yes." The psychic minister hung up the phone.
The last moments of Wu An's life were still playing on the computer in front of him.
The act of telling the coordinates of the destination decisively and facing the Queen without hesitation really made him not know what to say.
Even if the relationship between Wu An and the empire is not good, it is hard not to be moved by Wu An who sacrificed his life in such a matter that affects the survival of mankind.
The minister could only sigh silently and collect his emotions.
Go to the next meeting.
The arrival of the Queen and Wu An's death were like two heavy hammers hitting the heads of all the empire's top officials.
In just a few hours, the words "must lose" seemed to have almost occupied the minds of eighty people at the top of the empire.
After receiving the news, the hall of an online meeting urgently held by the empire was filled with an atmosphere of anguish, but no one surrendered lightly.
The thirty or so people present were all at the top of various departments in the empire, and no one was a fool.
They all know that neither the Machine Tribe nor the Queen of Survivors will give humans hope of survival.
Either life or death.
At least there is only two good news for now.
In this sudden incident of the Queen's awakening, only Wu An was killed, and everyone else was safe.
Moreover, judging from the news from Chen Ming's colony, the Queen did not head directly towards the empire after passing through the wormhole. Instead, she chose to rest around the wormhole and expand their nano-planet.
The empire may still have some time to prepare.
"There's a fart!"
At the meeting, a military leader sitting not far from the minister of psychic energy suddenly took the initiative to curse: "We have no time!"
"The current queen is definitely the weakest. If she is strong enough, she can just come over and crush us to death. What else is she prepared for?"
"There are only two reasons why she can prepare. Either she is incapable, or she was injured by Wu An before he died."
"We must take this opportunity to concentrate our forces to kill the Queen!"
"Delaying time? Can we afford it?"
The Minister of Psychics listened to the speeches of other people in the meeting with a low mood, and did not feel any dissatisfaction because of other people's gaffes.
Gaffes are all fake and meaningless. If a temporary gaffe can lead to a solution that allows the empire and humanity to survive, then it is true.
"Is there a plan?"
Someone at the meeting asked the military leader who just spoke.
But the person who asked the question continued without waiting for an answer: "There was only an hour between when we knew about it and when we observed it."
"In just this hour, do you know how much the Queen's nanofleet has expanded? Do you know how many nanoplanets their nanocolossus has assimilated?"
"The latest news, please take a look."
Everyone in the online meeting received a copy of the document.
The document shows how far the nanofleet has expanded.
All I can say is... no one can understand such an expansion speed.
"Based on the current efficiency of the survivors, it is expected that they will be able to expand to the territory of the empire in about ten days."
"They can assimilate all the galaxies within the range of one capital ship's extreme jump in one day."
"This is the speed at which the survivors are really expanding step by step. If they don't occupy all the places, they won't be there in ten days."
"Is it possible to think of a way to kill the Queen in ten days, make complete preparations, and then complete it?"
The military leader just insisted on his own idea and said: "We need to do this because time is so tight. If we don't do this, we will die slowly."
"So you choose to die faster?"
"We know nothing about the remnant's nanofleet, and all we know about their queen is some historical documents and Wu An's video."
"Wu An lasted twenty seconds, how long do you think other psychics could have lasted? Who could have planned the action against the Queen?"
The answer to this question is certain for everyone.
Not even a little bit of planning.
From the battle scene between Wu An and the Queen... this is not even a battle scene, it can only be regarded as a one-sided crushing. No valuable information can be seen from this video.
"Thinking about killing the Queen without any information is not accomplishing the goal, it is committing suicide!"
"We only have ten days, what should we do? What can we do?"
The person who spoke obviously didn't have the answer, and most people didn't have the answer.
"I think it is necessary to carry out a fire plan."
"It is currently known that the negative effects of the scarlet dimension on the normal universe have been completely eliminated under Chen Ming's suppression, and the phase space can also be protected from most of the scarlet effects."
"Cloning technology can still be used, so we can try to send refuge ships to all directions in the universe and rely on cloning technology to re-expand the human population."
"The empire can perish, but humanity cannot."
The Grand Consul sitting on the main seat in the conference room did not have any regrets about this sentence
"When the two plans are implemented together, we must prepare plans for the best and worst outcomes."
The Grand Archon sequentially handed over the tasks of the Love Spark Project to departments related to this area, including the Empire's Population Management Department and the Life Sciences and Biotechnology Department.
The assassination of the Queen was left to the Imperial Military and Psychic Department.
There was not much discussion about the content of the plan itself at this meeting.
At the meeting, more methods were discussed to solve the current dilemma.
Even finding a way to get Chen Ming back is part of the plan.
However, the only psyker who can contact the scarlet dimension is the president, and the president is no longer able to take on new tasks.
By the end of the meeting, there were still only two major plans on the table, and implementation quickly began.
The implementation of the Tinder Plan convened a group of scientists and started directly at the Fanchao Research Institute.
The most important thing about fire is to preserve the genetic complexity of humans. Otherwise, when those humans who leave the empire as fire are not genetically complex enough, humanity will be considered extinct.
The execution of the assassination plan must first determine the combat effectiveness of the nano-warship.
Then consider breaking through the Nano Fleet's defense line and assassinating the Queen.
The commander of the Fourteenth Legion was summoned.
The defense line in the direction of the legion's headquarters has been stabilized, and he no longer needs his constant attention.
He is also one of the few top commanders who can still maintain his mental state and can still fully exert the strength of the fleet.
Two days later.
The fleet on the exploratory mission led by the legion commander was completely destroyed.
No one blamed the Legion Commander.
Because everyone knows the battle, and the reason for the strength of this battle is the suppression of the ship's strength and nature.
The combat effectiveness of nanoships itself exceeds that of Imperial warships.
Moreover, all Imperial ships damaged in the battle will be infected and assimilated by nanomachines.
After a spaceship battle, the number of nano fleets actually increased by a few.
This is simply not something that an ordinary fleet can defeat.
The empire may not even be able to defeat the nano fleet.
Queen...that is even more distant.
