My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 632: The competent ones take over

Meng Lang couldn't help but marvel once again at the wonder of cosmic life.

The body is still on its way, but send the brain over first...

Although it is a parasitic life that has taken over the nest of a magpie, it is truly devoted to the object of its parasitism.

Aside from its functions of coordinating nerves, acting as a strategist, and regulating the digestive system, it also serves as the advance team for the hatchery, scouting and eliminating dangerous species, and protecting and ensuring the safety of the fetus...

Even procreation is handled with a comprehensive, all-inclusive service.

For the Starry Sky Beast, this "brain" has multiple functions, making it a top-notch nanny.

Then, unfortunately, humans were classified as a "dangerous species" by the other side...

In a sense, Earth's civilization is currently in a stage of "technological explosion".

After humanity shifted from understanding the laws of nature to scientific exploration, in just a century, it went from the early gunpowder era to the electrification era, and even touched the threshold of interstellar civilization.

At the same time, modern scientific research methods such as experimental science and systematic research have greatly improved research and development efficiency.

Both basic sciences and technological applications have entered a period of explosive growth.

According to statistics, 90% of human scientific knowledge was acquired in the 30 years following World War II, and the knowledge update cycle is still shortening.

The achievements of technological development in the last century have even surpassed the sum of the previous thousands of years!

This rate of development is absolutely astonishing, even on a cosmic scale.

Of course, this is also inextricably linked to the contradictory racial characteristics of humans, who are both afraid of death and warlike, both aggressive and peace-loving.

War is the most terrifying accelerator of civilization's development!

World War I, World War II, the Cold War... It can be said that the modern history of human development is also a history of war!

At this point, there are still nearly 25 years until the "seed" arrives in 2043, and the time until the "seed" hatches is even longer; under normal circumstances, the Earth will not crack open until at least 2063.

Under extreme conditions, humanity could even have 45 years to develop.

With such an exaggerated pace of technological development, coupled with the unleashing of civilization's potential under dire circumstances, no one can say for sure how far human technology will go or whether it will threaten the "hatching" process of the Star Beasts.

Such human civilization clearly hits the other side's psychological defenses.

Regardless, humans may pose a threat to their "hosts" in the future.

But if we try to control it, we're afraid it might provoke humans into unleashing their full power...

It is important to know that this Star Beast Seed is their reliance for returning to the universe, and even for traversing the "God Race Civilization".

If something goes wrong, not to mention whether that massive galactic beast horde will still try to "lay eggs" on Earth, even if they make a second attempt, it will probably take a long time for the second seed to arrive.

By then, humanity will probably have already broken free of Earth and developed into an interstellar civilization.

Whether this second seed will come to hatch or to deliver research material remains to be seen...

In a sense, "Nest" is also fighting a desperate battle with its back to the wall!
Therefore, even if there is the slightest threat, the other party will try to nip it in the bud!
Before childbirth, don't humans undergo various disinfection and sterilization procedures and prenatal checkups to minimize potential risks?
To the Star Beasts, aren't humans just a kind of "harmful bacteria"?
This is why, as the arrival of the seed approaches, the "nest" creates various natural and man-made disasters to weaken humanity.

Moreover, judging from the occurrence of previous major events, the other party is clearly timing it!

What they probably want is to keep humanity preoccupied after the seeds arrive, but also to prevent humanity from prematurely entering a state of war and developing advanced technology.

Therefore, even in World War III, it was only a backup option among the "N ways humans can die" of the enemy, and rarely appeared in his autobiography.

Because this thing is a double-edged sword.

After all, no one knows what kind of glimmer of civilization humanity might unleash when plunged into a state of war...

Clearly, while the other side strategically disregards humanity, it tactically places considerable importance on it.

They have a very clear understanding of the potential "danger" of the human species!
Then another question arises: if Earth is in danger, why doesn't the other side choose other uninhabited celestial bodies in the solar system?
First, there's the incubation environment. According to the information, Earth is the best incubation ground for Star Beasts.

What makes Earth unique is that it has a hot iron-nickel core, a natural "constant-temperature bed" formed by the decay of radioactive elements and the accretion process during planet formation.

The core temperatures and environments of other planets in the solar system differ significantly from those of Earth.

Even Mars, which has the most similar environment to Earth, has cooled down in its core and its geological activity has basically stopped, so it does not meet the conditions for the incubation of Star Beasts.

Secondly, it's also because of human civilization.

If it's not safe on Earth, why would other planets be safe?

Even if other planets could barely serve as incubators, without the interference of the Star Beast, when humans who had broken out of their home planet realized that a giant Star Beast was being bred in the surrounding celestial bodies, their first reaction would definitely be to eliminate the threat!
Because of their distance from Earth, humanity will only become more unscrupulous in using weapons of mass destruction, and may even develop planet-destroying weapons.

Then the other party would truly be "sending materials a thousand miles" to human civilization...

What should have been a relaxed and effortless process will instead turn into a frantic, stumbling scramble...

"It seems the key to solving the problem lies not with the Star Beast, but with this 'nest' itself..."

Meng Lang stroked his chin, deep in thought.

As a neurological parasitic life form, the Protoss and the Star Beasts are not biological brothers, but rather alien species that were parasitized later in life.

Naturally, it's impossible for them to hatch from the same "embryo" as the Starry Sky Beast cub.

In other words, the "seed" or "egg" of the Star Beast is still "pure" at this time.

The "nest" can only be occupied by a cuckoo after the Starry Sky Beast cub has hatched.

Then, just like controlling a human familiar, he entered the "cockpit" to take over the Star Beast's nervous system and completely control this "biological mothership"...

Ultimately, the "nest" is the supreme commander of these alien species and the "brain" of the hatched Star Beast!
Looking back now, it's no wonder that in "Meng Xiaolang's Travels," when he went to the Earth's core to try to talk to the Star Beast, he didn't receive any response.

Perhaps at this time, the Star Beast is still in a low-level stage of intelligence, "brainless", and doesn't even have "level eight" in Chinese.

This is like casting pearls before swine, or brandishing a spear to a blind man...

As the supreme commander, the reason why Nest hides himself so much is naturally because he is afraid of being "beheaded" by humans!
Throughout all its lives, whether the opponent was doomed or held an absolute advantage, even when the Starry Sky Beast cubs were attacked, it never showed its face.

This has led to him knowing that the other party will continuously patrol the vast ocean depths and periodically broadcast remote control of the "Protoss Sub-body".

We know nothing about its form or appearance.

This "nest" truly understands the essence of "the way of the underworld," never exposing itself if possible, and having no interest in even trash-talking while stepping on its own corpse.

They brought the skills of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to their fullest potential!

Meng Lang even wondered if the other party had ever watched a human movie...

Independence Day, Starship Troopers, Ender's Game...

Is it so cautious because it knows that humans prefer to use "decapitation" tactics when dealing with aliens?

Even in "A Thousand Years of Solitude," when he was at a disadvantage, he used it on himself, being used against him in the same way...

This brain... it has clearly studied human brain circuits very seriously...

The good news is that the fact that the other party is being so cautious suggests that the "nest" itself may not be as strong as the "seed".

This falls under the category of human-made weapons that can "threaten" the safety of the other party...

Meng Lang looked at the documents in his hand, his gaze becoming profound.

Although this "Guide to Raising Star Beasts" wasn't cutting-edge technology, it gave them a deeper understanding of the characteristics of this cosmic creature.

From that moment on, the gods had no secrets from him anymore!

and……

“Raising them…” Meng Lang chewed on these two words.

Not only does the Star Beast possess formidable defense and the ability to traverse the cosmos, but crucially, it also boasts an internal "whale fall environment" perfectly suited for carbon-based life forms...

Now, looking at that large-scale migrating herd of star beasts...

These aren't just star beasts; they're clearly planetary-level biological warships with their own ecosystems!
By the standards of a rudimentary interstellar civilization that has just left its home planet.

How many resources and how much time are needed to build a planetary warship with a range of one million kilometers?

A hundred years or a thousand years? But there are hundreds or even thousands of ships light-years away...

If the gods can control it, why can't we humans?
Universe wonders belong to the capable!
If his "Pandora Project" succeeds, it will likely solve more than just the huge threat posed by the Protoss.

It might even allow humanity to directly acquire an additional planetary-level biological warship, taking a giant leap into the intermediate realm...

Well... at the very least, they're still considered advanced, early-stage interstellar civilizations...

Think further ahead.

If we can take advantage of this star beast's "migration," could Earth's civilization directly gain an additional planetary fleet?
