Chapter 226: Back Road
"Perhaps the hive consciousness knows that it is useless to attack Gaia with brute force, so it has been silent for more than 100,000 years, wanting to destroy Gaia with time, but it is wishful thinking. Every hundred years, the empire will send scientific research ships to investigate Gaia's situation and recharge Gaia. Although that little energy cannot restore Gaia to its heyday, it can prevent Gaia from completely collapsing."
It was not until then that Li Meng understood why the seemingly shaky Gaia could last so long.
Because at the beginning, Gaia's energy was insufficient, allowing the hive consciousness to successfully send a signal to the outside and summon the Blue Demon parasitic warship.
The Blue Demon parasitic warship's attack on Gaia actually helped Gaia.
As long as it survives the first wave of attacks, Gaia will never collapse.
The longer the time, the stronger Gaia will be.
The possibility of the hive consciousness breaking through Gaia will be lower.
This means that even if humans do nothing, the Blue Demon will not become a threat to humans.
Without the mother nest consciousness, those blue demon parasitic warships are just ownerless souls.
Once the energy is exhausted, they will disperse and fall into hibernation.
And those blue demon parasitic warships in hibernation will undoubtedly become the target of hunting by humans on Earth.
But the arrival of the "ghost tribe" changed everything...
Thinking of this, Li Meng asked back: "If the ghost tribe's target is not the blue demon, then what will it be? Humans? I'm afraid that humans at this stage are not worth the ghost tribe's fanfare."
Hearing this, Xi Ze's expression changed.
He had to admit that what the immigrant on the table said was very likely.
The ghost tribe is the mortal enemy of the empire. In order to enslave the empire, the ghost tribe can do anything.
Perhaps in the eyes of the ghost tribe, no matter how terrible the blue demon is, it is not as bad as their desire to conquer the empire.
At this point, Li Meng added: "A fleet of ghost tribe has appeared in the forbidden area. My people are heading to Titan with the "ghost tribe" fleet. They will arrive in half a month. Sir Caesar, even if your country wants to do something, it may be too late."
"What?"
Li Meng's words shocked Caesar.
The expression on his face became very ugly, and Caesar said in a deep voice: "It seems that you would rather believe the ghost tribe than us."
Li Meng shook his head and said to Caesar: "No, I am the only one who has contact with your country, and I cannot represent my people. In the eyes of my people, the blue demon is the biggest threat at the moment, and the ghost tribe promised to help us eliminate the blue demon. In this case, the ghost tribe is our life-saving straw. Only the ghost tribe can help us eliminate the blue demon. My people were just deceived by the ghost tribe. Sir Caesar, my people do not trust the ghost tribe, but they have no choice and must hold on to the ghost tribe as a life-saving straw."
Hearing this, Caesar was silent.
The long-lost survivors appeared in the forbidden area, which was not a happy thing.
Because many interstellar civilizations started from the survivors and gradually developed into interstellar civilizations.
The appearance of the survivors means that the pattern of the Milky Way will change again.
This process may last for tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.
But the new era has come, and everything in the old era will be slowly erased.
This process is destined to be bloody and cruel.
The era of strife will soon emerge, and only by following the trend can you get a glimmer of hope.
"Well, teacher, isn't the most important thing now to think about how to stop the ghost tribe?"
Lily has been listening quietly.
As she listened, she became a little anxious.
Although she is young, she is no longer an ignorant child.
Caesar shook his head and said, "It's too late. Even if the other side of the star gate is the star field of the empire, the empire cannot assemble a fleet in half a month. Even if it can, it cannot reach Titan in half a month."
Deep in his heart, Caesar still has a word to say.
Even if the Empire knew about the situation here, it would not necessarily send troops.
Because many nobles in the upper echelons of the Empire believed that the forbidden area was very far away from the Titan Star Region.
Even if something happened in the forbidden area, it would not affect the Empire.
"What should we do, Li Meng, do you have any ideas?"
Facing Lily's millstone-sized eyes, Li Meng shook his head and said, "Even if I can stop my people from going to "Titan Star", I can't stop the Ghost Clan. I can't do anything about this."
Not to mention stopping the Ghost Clan, Li Meng couldn't even stop the Alliance Fleet.
Because the Ghost Clan was the first alien civilization to appear in the eyes of humans.
And this alien civilization did not show any malice and was willing to help humans eliminate the Blue Demon.
Even if he showed up and said that the Ghost Clan's purpose was not pure and was using humans, no one would believe it.
This is not a question of whether to believe it or not. All humans need is a result, the result of eliminating the Blue Demon.
They don't care whether they will be used by the Ghost Clan.
By cooperating with the Ghost Clan, the Earth humans in the S Star Region are mentally prepared to be used.
After all, the Ghost Clan is a powerful interstellar civilization, while humans are still very weak.
When the strong cooperate with the weak, how can the initiative be in the hands of the weak?
Looking at Caesar who was silent and fell into silence, Li Meng said again: "Although I can't stop my people from going to "Titan Star", I want to leave a way out for my people. Sir Caesar, maybe we can reach an agreement, an agreement between our people and the Titan Empire."
If the mother nest consciousness is destined to be released by the Ghost Clan, then there is no need to activate the star gate.
This is what Li Meng is most worried about at the moment.
I am afraid that Caesar will leave, and then humans will really be trapped in the S star area.
As for the Ghost Clan...
If the Ghost Clan's target is really the mother nest consciousness.
The result is self-evident. Once the Ghost Clan achieves its goal, how can it care about the life and death of humans.
If there is no way out, the earth humans who stay in the S star area will have no future.
They will only be trapped to death in the S star area and be swallowed up bit by bit by the angry blue demons.
This process may last for several years, but the destruction of humans in the S star zone is inevitable.
"Agreement?"
Xize looked at Li Meng, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and said: "What kind of agreement can you humans reach with the Titan Empire?"
Li Meng chose to ignore the disdain in Xize's eyes.
Indeed, he is still very weak at the moment, and humans are still very weak. They are like an ant in front of the Titan Empire.
Who would sign an agreement with an ant?
Li Meng said calmly: "I don't know what the universe on the other side of the star gate is like, but Lord Caesar once said that the other side of the star gate is the dark star field, a no-man's land. Since it is a no-man's land, the Titan Empire is not the only interstellar civilization in the universe on the other side of the star gate. You have opponents and enemies of equal strength, and I, humans, can reach an agreement with the Titan Empire. As long as we control the dark star field, humans will be the Titan Empire's eternal friends."
Speaking of this, Li Meng smiled faintly and said: "Although we are two different races, we are so similar. I believe that cooperating with humans is better than cooperating with those opposite sexes who are not human..."
