Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"Based on what we have found so far on the native planet of Qianxing."

"The most recent evolution of the Badaf insectoids should have been a process of miniaturization."

"The newly derived Badaf insectoids are likely to be miniaturized."

"This conclusion can be drawn from the two new types of Badaf insectoids that landed on the Qianxing homeland."

"Once this miniaturized Bardaff swarm reaches a certain scale, the destructive power it unleashes will be far greater than the swarm of Ironjaw Beetles!"

The technicians explained to Chen Guyan and Han Yunsheng, "Furthermore, through this latest discovery..."

"We suspect that the space magnetic storm that caused the annihilation of the 300 million-strong interstellar expeditionary force may have been caused by a miniature Badaf swarm."

"Their individual forms may not be so scary."

"However, when their numbers reach a certain scale, a terrifying qualitative change will occur!"

"Therefore, the miniaturized new type of Badaf Zerg is far more threatening than the massive Badaf Zerg!"

"As the latest evolutionary product of the Badaf insectoid race, they are more powerful and in line with the evolutionary characteristics of the Badaf insectoid race."

"We have to admit—the Badaf Zerg are indeed incredibly powerful in terms of evolution!"

"This is really a headache..." Upon hearing this conclusion, even Chen Guyan, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

"It seems we'd better pray that none of those self-replicating, attack-type Badaf Zerg have landed alive on Qianxing..."

"If that's the case, then we're in real trouble..."

"If this new type of Badaf worm with the ability to self-divide really exists."

Han Yunsheng also looked worried: "Wouldn't they be able to directly replace the Ironjaw Bugs as the main fighting force in the Badaf Zerg?"

"If that's the case, then our battle against the pests will become even more difficult..."

"Hopefully, the situation isn't as bad as we think."

Chen Guyan sighed: "At least for now, this new type of Badaf Zerg should not have replaced the Ironjaw Bug as the main fighting force among the Badaf Zerg."

"On the battlefield that wiped out 300 million interstellar expeditionary forces, the Ironjaw Bug still served as the absolute main force in melee combat."

"At least, so far—we have not found any trace of this new type of Zerg participating in that devastating war..."

Chen Guyan's words clearly had a self-comforting tone.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Guyan shook his head helplessly: "Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Badaf Zerg deliberately did not use this powerful new type of Zerg in the last confrontation."

"To lull us into a false sense of security..."

"Or perhaps—they were actually involved in the last confrontation."

"We just didn't notice it..."

"A bloodthirsty race that has roamed the entire Black Horse Galaxy for millions of years is indeed not as simple as it seems on the surface."

"The cunning of the Badaf insectoids is far more formidable than we imagined..."

"Although we believed we had made very thorough war preparations for the last expedition."

"But the truth is—we ultimately underestimated the methods and combat power of the Badaf Zerg."

"Even now, we still don't have a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of the Badaf insectoids."

"Who knows how many more unexpected 'surprises' the Badaf Zerg will bring us!"

"The 'surprises' from the Badaf insectoids have been big enough already..."

Han Yunsheng rubbed his throbbing temples: "If any more 'surprises' come along, I'm afraid my heart won't be able to take it..."

"To be honest, I haven't slept for several days in preparation for the upcoming revenge battle."

"Sleepless nights."

"I have to use a sleep aerosol to barely get a short nap."

Han Yunsheng sighed, "Now so many new problems have arisen..."

"I reckon I'll have to increase the dosage of my sleep aid to get some rest."

"Whether they can sleep or not is another matter..." Chen Guyan said with a wry smile, "If this kind of Zerg that can split itself has already started splitting itself on Qianxing."

"Where else can we find time to rest?"

"We hope that our technical team can find a biological warfare agent to counter the Badaf Zerg as soon as possible."

"To deal with these nasty bedbugs, we must use every method we can think of..."

Chen Guyan looked at the relevant information on the screen and shook his head slightly: "Right now, our technical team is focusing on the new type of Badaf Zerg."

"If a biological toxin could be developed specifically for the Badaf insectoid race, it might have a miraculous effect..."

"Developing a biological agent specifically targeting the Badaf swarm is extremely difficult."

Han Yunsheng sighed, "Several years ago, our military invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to develop biological agents to counter the Badaf insectoids."

"However, the results were minimal."

"No useful breakthroughs have been achieved so far."

"Furthermore, according to the relevant data we collected previously—among the many civilized planets that have fought against the Badaf Zerg over the past millions of years..."

"It seems that no civilized planet has developed even one biological toxin that can effectively counter the Badaf Zerg."

"The conclusion remains the same—the best way to eliminate the Badaf swarm is still through firepower..."

"This is thanks to the special constitution of the Badaf insectoid race, which makes them immune to all poisons."

"This characteristic is also a key reason for the Badaf Zerg's remarkable adaptability..."

Han Yunsheng remarked with emotion, "In fact, the military has always wanted to develop a biological warfare agent specifically targeting the Badaf Zerg."

"Just like this insecticide, one spray, one mist, one inhale, one fumes, and all the mosquitoes and insects are killed!"

"In that case, our battle against the pests will be much easier..."

-------------------------------------

the other side.

Researchers studying meteorites have made a new discovery.

"Boss! We've made a new discovery!"

"Through laboratory testing, it appears to be a biocorrosive substance."

An inspector carefully placed a small, corroded fragment of the meteorite into the preservation instrument.

"A relatively high concentration of genetic residues of the new type of Badaf insectoid was found on this meteorite fragment."

"In other words—the destructive attack method of this new type of attack-oriented Badaf insectoid is likely formed through its own corrosive ability!"

"Metal!"

"We just conducted an experiment using metal."

"This biological corrosive substance has an extremely strong ability to corrode and decompose metals!"

"Self-replication, extremely strong corrosive and decomposing capabilities............."

The person in charge at the scene frowned deeply: "This is a very significant discovery..."

"But it's also very bad news..."

The person in charge said with a wry smile, "I don't think the higher-ups will be in a good mood when they hear this news."

"Perhaps—our discovery has also inadvertently revealed the cruel truth behind the annihilation of the interstellar expeditionary force..."

"Even now, we still don't understand how the Badaf swarm managed to breach such a thick underground protective layer at the Safe Base."

"Now it seems—perhaps this is the answer!"

"These insects, with their powerful corrosive and decomposing abilities, are so numerous that even the thickest metal protective plates are useless..."

"Moreover, this corrosion and decomposition can occur silently."

"In addition, there was the magnetic field storm that affected the entire Badaf main star system that day."

"If the security base's monitoring and early warning system malfunctions, and these insects then corrode the base's underground protective layer, it can be done without anyone noticing..."

"Right now, the only thing we can be thankful for is..."

"The weaknesses of this insect should be the same as those of other Badaf insects."

"Even with the most powerful firepower, they can still be quickly eliminated."

"We will immediately compile our latest research findings in detail."

"Perhaps these latest research findings will be a significant aid in the development of effective weapons to counter the Zerg..."

"And—connect me to the director's hotline immediately."

"The discovery of a new type of Zerg attack method must be reported to the Director immediately..."

"This constant stream of bad news is really giving me a headache..."

-------------------------------------

Just as the person in charge of the testing was about to pick up the communicator.

No one noticed that the metal floor in the corner of the testing lab was disappearing into thin air at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"That is..."

The security personnel in the monitoring room were the first to discover this emergency!

"Heaven!"

"Monitoring room calling detection room!"

"What happened there? Was some corrosive substance spilled on the ground?"

At this point, the monitoring personnel who first discovered the situation were unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

The testing personnel, alerted by the monitoring room, immediately noticed the situation.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, the person in charge of the on-site inspection immediately understood what had happened!

The others present also understood what was going on...

To prevent any accidents, the testing and research of these meteorites are all conducted in a completely enclosed space.

This measure is to prevent the live eggs of the Badaf insect race from being leaked out of the detection room should a meteorite be found inside.

Furthermore, in order to deal with emergencies, the testing room not only adopts a fully enclosed design, but also has a self-destruct device for emergency disposal!

Seeing this situation, the person in charge looked at the other people present with a very helpless expression...

At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with a resolute determination.

Clearly, they were prepared to sacrifice themselves at any moment.

In fact, everyone who entered the testing room was mentally prepared before receiving this mission.

In the event of an uncontrollable accident, they will activate the self-destruct device of the testing room without hesitation, following the established procedures!

Watching the metal corrode relentlessly, everyone in the testing lab understood—the lab's protective measures would soon be overwhelmed...

After a brief exchange of glances, the person in charge at the site quickly transmitted the latest research data to the cloud.

Then, the emergency self-destruct device's mask was opened.

Next second...............

As soon as the self-destruct button was pressed, the entire testing chamber was immediately engulfed by flames reaching temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees!

This process lasted for a full three minutes!

After the fire, the entire testing room was reduced to ruins...

However, the emergency response team that arrived at the scene did not immediately open the testing room, which remained closed.

"Sir, should we conduct a second round of fire suppression?"

"Three times!" The emergency response team leader immediately held up three fingers: "Immediately fill the self-destruct pipes in the testing room with fuel."

"Conduct secondary and tertiary disinfection!"

"After three rounds of disinfection, immediately release the cooling gas."

"Soldiers wearing special protective suits will enter first after the temperature inside the testing room has dropped."

"Yes!"

"besides..............."

The officer in charge said gravely, "Close the base. No one is allowed to leave..."

"Be prepared to activate the base's self-destruct procedure at any time."

"In case the situation on site is not contained."

"Don't hesitate—activate the base's self-destruct mechanism immediately!"
