Chapter 340 Lava Beast

Almost a year after the arrival of the Red Iron Man, the Purple Cloud Man is also coming.

This time, the human welcome ceremony preparation team learned from the lesson and learned more carefully about the culture, living habits, taboos and other things of the Purple Cloud Man, striving to make this welcome ceremony a success and a more comprehensive display of human enthusiasm and welcome.

Regarding the custom of tattooing flowers on the left face, the human side also intends to make some compromises.

It is definitely not possible to really tattoo flowers on the left face. However, making a tattoo sticker or something like that, temporarily letting a flower on the left face, can also be regarded as a manifestation of human kindness.

In people's eyes, this is probably like the human race visiting another race, and in order to show respect, deliberately wearing the traditional costumes of another race to show goodwill.

This will not go wrong, right?

The Purple Cloud Man came to the solar system hundreds of light years away to help humans, isn't it right to thank and respect them?

The welcome ceremony was held under this circumstance.

The Purple Cloud Man's transport ship disembarked from the fifth-level civilization's aerospace mothership and finally arrived at the space terminal base of the Earth's space elevator.

Liu Yuan and other ruling committee members put tattoo stickers on their left cheeks and came to greet them in person.

The gate of the passage opened, and the high-ranking Ziyun people who led the team came out wearing light space suits.

Han Yang immediately manipulated Liu Yuan to stand up and led a group of senior officials to greet them with smiles on their faces. Then, Han Yang watched the Ziyun people, who were originally smiling, freeze there.

Their smiles froze on their faces, and they looked at Liu Yuan and his party with some horror in their eyes.

"No way? What went wrong again?"

The human high-ranking officials held their nerves, and faced the strange, horrified and shocked eyes of the Ziyun people, and completed the welcoming process in the space elevator base. Then, this group of Ziyun people representatives were welcomed to the Ziyun City built specifically for the Ziyun people.

The welcoming ceremony was held again. Moreover, every performer or human service provider had a tattoo sticker on their left cheek.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion or something, Han Yang always feels that the reaction of these Ziyun people is a little bit wrong.

There are some similarities between human culture and Ziyun culture. For example, they both like dancing and singing. Because of their similar body structures, they also have similar preferences for dancing and singing. In this welcome ceremony, the performances presented by top human artists were also very exciting. Even Han Yang was somewhat shocked. There was no reason why the Ziyun people would not like it.

But why... their expressions are always a little stiff?

Han Yang tried a few words vaguely, but did not get a clear response from the Ziyun people's representatives. They were evasive and dealt with it, and Han Yang was more confused.

Until the end of the welcome ceremony, a group of Ziyun people left in a hurry as if they were fleeing.

It seems... this welcome ceremony was messed up again.

"Find out what's going on."

Liu Yuan personally gave the order.

A few hours later, a report was placed in front of the ruling committee members.

After a rough scan, Han Yang's state of mind was a little unbearable.

"According to the Ziyun people, if we humans don't have that flower tattooed on our left cheek, in their culture, it's roughly equivalent to not wearing underwear in our culture...

But if we put a fake flower on the left cheek - that is, our tattoo sticker, instead of a real tattoo on the left cheek, then, in the Ziyun people's culture, it's probably similar to wearing underwear outside in our culture...

Yes, this time we wore underwear, but we wore it outside..."

Damn, these Ziyun people, there are so many troubles!

You guys are the ones who wore underwear outside!

Recalling the welcome ceremony, our side was active in front of the Ziyun people with tattoos for so long, even the ruling committee felt a little hot on their faces.

"Forget it, as long as these Ziyun people can feel that we are sincerely welcoming them, it's enough. Even if it makes a joke, even if we wear underwear outside, it doesn't affect our sincerity. Let them be."

The alliance between the two civilizations will not be affected by such a small matter.

Communication between civilizations is no joke.

The Ziyun people, a total of about 100 million people, also settled in the solar system and began to assume the responsibility of maintaining the normal operation of human society.

As a result, human civilization was able to focus all its energy on military and science.

In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed since the announcement of participating in the Milky Way Cleanup Operation. According to regulations, the human side must go out.

This time, Han Yang decided to appoint Lu Xinghe as the commander.

From the military exercises of several civilizations in the Yuanshan Alliance, to the subsequent internal military exercises, and the war with the Hongyang civilization, Lu Xinghe has shown the excellent qualities of a large fleet commander.

This first mission, which is crucial to civilization, was given to Lu Xinghe, and Han Yang was relatively relieved.

This time, he did not send too many dummies to participate in this operation, only a few hundred people, barely maintaining the channel for obtaining first-line intelligence.

At the Pluto base, the human fleet and soldiers who were ready to participate in this expedition had assembled.

For this mission, humans dispatched a total of 250,000 warships of various types, more than 20,000 logistics spacecraft, and 10 aerospace motherships.

The number of soldiers, engineers, logistics personnel, civilian staff, technical workers, etc. who participated in this mission exceeded 200 million.

With so many spaceships and so many personnel, it is enough to launch a civilization extinction war. And now, it is only for this mission.

In order to transport these spaceships and personnel, the human side contacted Luo Zhaoyangdong in advance, and this fifth-level civilization creature coordinated a full ten large aerospace motherships.

Ten aerospace motherships, transporting a distance of 1,200 light years, is a big order even for the Luotu civilization.

Luo Zhaoyangdong's attitude towards humans became more and more enthusiastic, which made the human business personnel in charge of docking sigh in their hearts.

Liu Yuan and other ruling committee members all stood up in the conference hall. On the large screen in front was the Pluto base. Lu Xinghe led a group of fleet senior officials to stand solemnly.

Liu Yuan said slowly: "I am waiting for your triumphant return!"

Lu Xinghe and others saluted at the same time: "Please, President, please, please, please, all the people, rest assured. The first fleet of human civilization guarantees to complete the mission!"

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Under countless cameras, more than 200,000 spacecraft set sail at the same time, heading towards the huge aerospace mothership like a space fortress parked not far away.

Looking at the battleship cluster that was like a swarm of bees and almost illuminated this piece of space, Han Yang recalled the relevant information of this mission in his heart.

"The destination this time is the YT-621 star system, which is about 1,200 light years away from the solar system. The target is a group of predators that have occupied the star system.

The name of the predator is Lava Beast, and the comprehensive combat power score is 3.72.

The group of Lava Beasts has evolved ion propulsion devices, energy cannons and energy shield devices, with an average weight of about 3,000 tons and an average body length of about 106 meters.

Lava Beasts feed on a variety of organic matter and like to soak in the magma of rocky planets.

Through interaction with magma, the body of Lava Beasts can synthesize simple organic matter into complex organic matter through a mechanism similar to plant photosynthesis, and maintain the survival of the body.

Based on this, Lava Beasts generally live in volcanoes or weak crusts of rocky planets. If the planet has no volcanoes, the Lava Beasts will penetrate the crust and cause the magma to erupt.

Lava Beasts have no special preferences for life forms and will not deliberately look for life planets. But this predator It is extremely destructive to rocky planets. After being stationed by them, more than one-tenth of the land on the planet will be covered by lava in less than 100 years, and the environment of the entire planet will be destroyed.

Thirty thousand years ago, there was a case where the mother planet of a third-level civilization was targeted by a lava beast. The third-level civilization put up a desperate resistance to the lava beast, but still failed to repel or eliminate it.

In the end, the ecological environment of the mother planet was completely destroyed, and the third-level civilization was forced to abandon this star system. The civilization has never recovered since then, and eventually became a vassal of other civilizations and gradually removed from the Silver Alliance.

Based on this, the lava beast has caused great damage to the peace of the Silver Alliance and has been included in the goals of the 4559th Milky Way Cleanup Operation by the Silver Alliance. If the lava beast cluster stationed in the YT-621 galaxy can be eliminated, the civilization carrying out the mission will be able to obtain 50 million points. "

In the Milky Way Cleanup Operation, the exchange ratio of points and silver coins is one to one.

This means that once this group of lava beasts can be eliminated, human civilization will directly obtain a reward of 50 million silver coins.

The reward is generous. But it is conceivable that it is difficult and risky to deal with a predator group with an overall rating of 3.72 and a war that has exterminated a third-level civilization.

This is different from the hundreds of thousands or millions of silver coins that can be earned by performing engineering tasks.

Carrying out this task and fighting with lava beasts will really kill people, and many people will die...

Among the 270,000 warships that set out this time, a total of 200 million soldiers and logistics personnel, it is unknown how many people can come back.

For an ordinary third-level civilization, if this fleet fails in the final mission and is destroyed by lava beasts in the vast space, then the military system of the entire civilization will be severely damaged, and it is unknown how many years it will take to recover.

However, Luo Zhaoyangdong told people another story.

"After our comprehensive evaluation, combined with the characteristics of your human civilization, the task of exterminating the lava beasts may seem difficult, but it is one of the most suitable tasks for your human civilization, and it is extremely cost-effective.

We strongly recommend that you take on this task." (End of this chapter)
