The empire's exploration methods are advancing step by step and expanding steadily. Now the exploration troops have just entered two star clusters and are starting to explore from the border star system.

In the star system on the border of the light dust cluster, a small exploration fleet jumped to a green planet. The outer armor of the battleship was engraved with the emblem of a certain empire-affiliated galaxy-level civilization. It was responsible for exploring the nearby area. This planet was what they were exploring.

The goal.

"The jump is over, the destination has been reached, and the jump engine is being cooled."

"The planetary environment probe has been launched and is detecting the planet's environment and resource distribution."

"The life monitoring device is activated and is scanning the target planet for signs of life."

In the main control room of the command ship, many crew members are busy operating various equipment. The captain is pacing back and forth in the room, waiting for the detection results.

brush--

At this time, the door opened, and a man wearing heavy mechanical armor walked in, showing off his military posture as he walked.

The captain turned his head and glanced, nodded in greeting, "Captain Cribb, what can I do?"

"I'm just here to take a look." The man known as Kribber had an expressionless face and a somewhat impatient tone.

This person is one of the natural disaster-level members of this affiliated civilization. He follows the exploration team and is responsible for armed security work.

But it is obvious that when exploring the Glittering World, the chance of encountering an enemy who is qualified for him to take action is too small. Kriber's existence is more of an insurance, and he usually has nothing to do, so he is naturally not willing to perform this job.

It seemed like he was wasting his time exercising.

After waiting for a while, the monitoring results came out and were displayed on the virtual big screen in the main control room.

"Report to Captain, the environmental parameters have been read. This is a livable planet with abundant resources. We have also found signs of life. We have scanned 730,000 species of creatures, including a kind of intelligent life on the surface.

A settlement has been formed. According to observations, the level of civilization is still in the tribal era, the level of intelligence is temporarily unknown, and the population is about 120,000."

The appearance of this intelligent species was displayed on the virtual screen. It looked like a bunch of short, upright creatures like goblins. There were a lot of wrinkles on the white skin, which looked loose and baggy, like a fat man who had liposuction.

"It's good to have intelligent life." The captain nodded, "Then let's contact them according to the exploration rules."

The empire stipulates the procedures for contact with indigenous civilizations in the exploration code, and adopts different policies according to different situations. For this kind of indigenous people who do not seem to be a threat, they mainly use gentle education. Han Xiao once said in the first issue

When exploring the planet Pangulid, we adopted the policy of enlightenment.

The fleet slowly landed in a forest on the planet. The ground troops landed and began to make friendly contacts with the indigenous tribes. These indigenous intelligent lifeforms were surprised and frightened, and at the same time they were very curious about these sudden creatures.

With the help of a universal translator, this exploration team successfully established a communication bridge with this group of indigenous people. While getting to know the indigenous people, they explained their purpose to the indigenous people. They used various images and images to explain the situation of the explored universe and introduce the red color.

Empire, in order to let the indigenous people understand what the situation is now.

The doctors accompanying the team also began to conduct physical examinations on the curious indigenous people to prevent them from carrying new types of germs they had never seen before - there were too many examples of this. At the same time, they also examined the physiological structure of the indigenous people.

Everything seemed in order, and Cribb was bored and taking a walk among the busy camp.

Turning around, he suddenly saw an indigenous person leaving the quarantine queue and sneaking toward an indigenous tribe's house.

Cribb didn't think too much about it, and was about to look away, but at this moment, an inexplicable sense of vigilance arose in his mind.

His steps immediately stopped. Most natural disaster-level people have keen intuition, and occasionally they can foresee certain threats. Basically, the more powerful a superpower is, the more they will trust their intuition.

"There seems to be something wrong..." Creeper frowned, turned around and followed the sneaky native, opened the door, and walked straight into the native's house.

The native was sitting in the corner with his back to the door. He didn't know what he was doing. When he heard the noise behind him, he seemed startled and turned his head suddenly to look over.

"What are you doing?" Cribb's bad premonition grew stronger and stronger.

The next moment, the native's expression suddenly became ferocious and twisted, and he suddenly took out a bone dagger and stabbed himself in the neck.

Sa!

A gust of wind blew by, and Kribber moved extremely quickly. He flashed in front of the opponent in an instant, knocked the dagger out of the native's hand with a flick of his finger, and lifted it up by his neck.

He didn't know what the native meant by this move, but he was definitely right to stop it.

However, before he could ask further questions, the native's body suddenly trembled, foaming at the mouth, his eyes popped out, and he died on the spot.

"Did you take poison?" Cribb was surprised.

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation outside the door. Kribber ran out with the body and found that there was a commotion with the team of doctors. He saw a lot of doctors surrounding a piece of medical equipment for physical examination.

More doctors came closer and seemed to have discovered something.

Cribb flew directly over and looked at the head of the medical team as soon as he landed.

"What are you doing?"

"Your Excellency, take a look at this genetic test report!" A doctor looked surprised, "We found that there are major defects in the genes of this intelligent life, and this defect has traces of artificial genetic debugging, causing the brain of this intelligent species to

Their abilities have been suppressed by more than 80%. To put it simply, someone has castrated their intelligence!"

"You mean, this is a species that is kept in captivity?" Cribb's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Rumble——

At this moment, everyone felt that the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled.

The next second, all the spacecraft erupted with piercing sirens!

"Alert! Alert! A high-energy reaction has been detected, and the event model database is being compared... The pairing is completed, and the matching degree of [Original Psionic Energy Burst] reaches 99.8%. Please evacuate immediately! Please evacuate immediately!"

"Original psionic energy?!"

Everyone's expressions, including Cribb's, suddenly changed drastically.

Kribber seemed to suddenly think of something, and smashed the head of the strange native corpse in his hand with a punch, lifted his body upside down, and poured out all the contents inside, and an extremely small mechanical product mixed with slurry fell out.

.

The moment he saw this mechanical prop, Cribber's pupils shrank suddenly and he understood instantly.

This is a life signal sensing device. To put it simply, when the user's life signal fluctuates or even ends, the device connected to the other side will be activated or shut down - the original psionic energy burst is related to this life signal sensing device.

!

Boom!!

The planet instantly collapsed inward, and blue energy fountains broke through the surface and rushed into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the faint blue color spread rapidly across the earth, polluting the entire planet.

Mountains, rivers, forests... land, ocean, sky, everything is swallowed up by the blue, and transformed into a part of the original ghost energy!

Expansion, endless expansion!

All matter disappeared in this blue, and in the process of mass-energy conversion, unparalleled huge energy was released. The escape speed of this exploration fleet could not even keep up with the expansion speed of the original ghost energy, and all of them were swept away by this ghost energy.

Devoured by blue light.

Kribber rushed out of the spaceship and tried to struggle to escape, but the endless blue light drowned his figure. In front of this wave of primitive psionic energy that destroyed the world, the natural disaster grade was just a mass of undifferentiated material.

And the same scene is playing out on more than one planet on the border of the light dust star cluster.

…

Lighthouse Star, Commander's Conference Room.

Not long after the last meeting, the remote projections of all representatives of the forces involved in the exploration gathered together again.

This was an urgent temporary meeting, and Han Xiao and a group of Transcendent A Grades were also called over urgently for the meeting.

Looking at the casualty statistics on the virtual screen, the atmosphere in the room was solemn.

"As you can see, our exploration force encountered an accident in the Light Dust Star Cluster." Tarrokov said in a serious tone, "More than 6,000 battleships were destroyed, and the death toll exceeded 7 million, including two affiliated civilizations.

Natural disaster level."

Hearing this, many people were immediately in an uproar.

"What situation did they encounter? Did they encounter a very powerful local civilization?"

"The Light Dust Star Cluster has such powerful natives?!"

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. He only knew that this indigenous civilization caused trouble to the empire, and did not fully understand the detailed process of the war. After all, this was what happened during the version update. Players in previous lives did not have personal experience, so they could only learn from the historical background.

Learn from the information.

Tarrokov pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said in a deep voice:

"The armed forces of this group of indigenous people are more powerful than you think... They have mastered the technology of psionic energy. These lost teams all encountered an explosion of primitive psionic energy while exploring the planet and were completely wiped out. We have reason to believe that this is the one who

A trap set by unknown indigenous civilization.”

As soon as this statement came out, most of the representatives present took a breath and their expressions became shocked.

They can accept indigenous civilizations with strong military power, because with the empire's warship technology, suppressing indigenous civilizations is not a problem. No matter how strong the conventional military power is, it cannot pose much of a threat to their exploration army.

However, the meaning of the indigenous civilization that has mastered primitive psionic energy is completely different!

In the explored universe under the jurisdiction of the three major civilizations, primitive psionic energy is an absolutely prohibited weapon. It is terrifyingly powerful, and the subsequent pollution will be even more serious. This weapon has absolute deterrence.

And this group of indigenous people actually mastered primitive psionic energy technology?

How do they climb their technology tree?

Could it be that they still have some black technology that we don’t know about?!
