Barren Star

Hawk and this civilization have been fighting against each other for several years in total. Now, this prolonged war is finally coming to an end.

Exterminating a civilization sounds cruel, but it's not as cruel as being exterminated yourself. This is the encounter between civilizations, there is no morality, no mercy, only cold killing.

"infrasound weapons, activated." Hawk gave this order without any emotional coloring.

Immediately, low frequency mechanical longitudinal waves began to rage above the planet. These sound waves, will be able to penetrate the building and cause killings to the creatures inside the building. At this stage, it is almost indefensible, unless a tight protective layer is constructed with special materials that can absorb sound waves. But Hawke does not think, in this case, they still have the power to do so.

Hawk did calculations, high-powered infrasound weapons continue to fire for twenty minutes, will have a serious impact on the lizardmen, causing their internal organs to rupture, thirty minutes, will be able to kill creatures directly exposed to infrasound impact range, an hour later, hiding in the ground within five meters, or within the building bunker creatures will not be spared.

The satellite orbiting the planet is watching the place with cold instruments and constantly transmitting the signals it observes to Hawk.

Time, twenty minutes had passed.

Hawk saw that in the middle of the city, a huge square, the ground suddenly opened up and dozens of small ships rattled and flew up.

Hawk sneered: "Are the pilots all dead? The lizardmen who piloted these airships are all novices?"

Hawk relentlessly maneuvered a hundred village-class airships closer and started a near-earth space airship war with the other side, losing the suppression of primary energy weapons, Hawk's airships once again closed the gap with the other side. Fifty minutes later, the opponent's ships were all destroyed.

"These lizardmen really still have their residual power. Fortunately, it's good that I took out their flagship in advance, otherwise, I would have been in a bit of trouble facing a flagship that was determined to die." Hawk thought thankfully.

Thirty minutes later, in the city, a large number of lizardmen began to appear, almost a thousand in total. The two claws in the middle of their bodies were raised high in the hands of these lizardmen, grabbing all kinds of weapons and rushing out to confront the robots.

Hawk maneuvered the village-class ship over the area and increased the power of the infrasound weapons. Immediately, the lizardmen began to roll in pain on the ground and were killed off by the robot formations without mercy.

"If you had known this outcome from the beginning, then, would you still have laid hydrogen traps for me in an attempt to exterminate me?" Hawk thought icily, without the slightest mercy in his heart.

"But it's still a bit strange, I still can't be sure for what reason they actually struck at me. When I gather information later, I will have to pay special attention to this aspect." Hawke thought.

This was the first alien civilization Hawk had ever met. And Hawk was not sure that he, himself, was the first alien civilization that the lizardmen had encountered. In other words, these lizardmen had probably encountered an alien civilization more than once and learned certain information that Hawk did not know, and it was likely that this information was what led them to preempt Hawk.

Since the thousand lizardmen were slaughtered, there were no more large-scale lizardmen, and occasionally scattered lizardmen would run out of the building in a frenzy and roar before being killed by the Gauss pistol in the robot's hands.

To be on the safe side, Hawk used his infrasound weapon for two hours. After making sure there were no more surviving robots, Hawke began a massive landing campaign.

A total of two hundred and eighty-one ships, Hawke left only thirty small ships escort, the remaining two hundred and fifty ships, two hundred ships, carrying nearly forty thousand number of robots landed in the city, the remaining fifty ships carrying ten thousand robots landed in the giant building of hundreds of thousands of meters high.

This giant building, Hawk speculated, should be the engine that drives the movement of the planet.

The 40,000 robots that landed in the city launched a massive search operation. Anything of value Hawk would not let go.

Inside a building, Hawke saw the other side's computer system for the first time.

Hawke already knew that the other party's computing module used the same photonic computing technology as his own, which meant that he could extract the other party's information, and as long as he cracked its encryption system and translated the text of the other party's records, he could do so unhindered.

In addition to the electronic information, Hawk also did his best to collect all the data about this civilization, such as their architectural philosophy, social patterns, various technologies, etc.

With more and more information collected by the satellite detection system, as well as the information Hawk gathered, Hawk had a preliminary understanding of this planet, the planet.

This planet, there are very obvious signs of being transformed. Hawk is more and more sure of his guess, that is, this civilization, is not the indigenous civilization on this planet, but the latter immigrated over.

At the same time, Hawk also did a detailed determination of the geological composition of the planet, looking at the results of the determination, Hawk could not help but sigh: "It's really a barren planet."

The elements that make up the crust of this planet are very single, most of them are concentrated in the light element part, which constitutes a stark contrast to the large number of heavy elements that make up its core.

But a large number of heavy elements are concentrated in the planet's core, resulting in its inability to be mined, so this planet, to say that it is barren, is not too much.

Hawk speculated that this might be a planet orbiting a generation star, so the planet was mostly composed of light elements at first, and then the planet might have collided with another planet orbiting a second or even third generation star, and after the two planets fused, a series of extremely complex geological changes occurred to form the odd structure whose core was heavy elements and whose crust was light elements.

The so-called generation of stars, that is, the formation of stars soon after the Big Bang, a generation of star systems, the content of heavy elements is very low. And by the supernova explosion after the re-formation of cosmic dust stars called second-generation stars, second-generation star system, compared to the heavy element content is much higher, the sun is a second-generation star.

The massive data collection operation lasted for a month, within this month, Hawk collected a large number of data storage tools similar to the computer hard drive on Earth, but also through anatomical analysis, collected a large number of information about each other's technology.

Immediately, Hawk launched a decryption operation. Translating the other side's text is not a difficult task, with a large amount of textual information, by analyzing the number of times a character appears in the document, and its position in the statement, etc., Hawk can roughly determine the logical relationship between this character and the rest of the characters, determine whether it is the subject or predicate or object, and then under further analysis, you can determine the meaning of this character.

But before translating the text, there is another difficult hurdle in front of Hawk, that is, the other side of the data encryption system.

A civilization's data encryption method, with the civilization's social form, living habits and so on have a great role, Hawk does not understand the other side of these data, naturally crack up will be a certain degree of difficulty. But Hawke has this confidence, he will definitely crack it out.

In addition to decryption operations, Hawk also received the other side too late to destroy the various mining bases, various equipment processing plants and other facilities. Even, Hawke also found about fifty half-manufactured starships within a hidden base, a result that made Hawke very happy. Hawke intended to take over the work of the lizardmen and continue the construction of these ships.

"How can I relieve my hatred without scavenging hard on top of this planet?" Hawk remembered the hundreds of spaceships he lost, and his heart became more and more hateful.

A large number of useless buildings and factories and other facilities were demolished by Hawk, and then, the recyclable things were moved back to Hawk's warehouse, and the useless things were abandoned anywhere. Hawk this is completely exhaustive fishing, but after themselves and this pond has no relationship, that before leaving, naturally, how many fish can catch, what sustainable development, are bullshit.

And useful buildings as well as factories, etc., were made by Hawke to make the corresponding transformation in order to better suit their habits of use. Hawke intends to, at least on top of the planet, to build another 1,000 ships before willing to leave.

Time, in Hawk's busy in a hurry to slip away, in this year, Hawk modified the lizardmen's two ship-building factories, with a large number of raw materials arrived, Hawk has been a constant stream of new ship construction. But now Hawk built, are small airships, large airships are not built.

Because Hawke wants to wait for the energy weapon technology analysis out and then build together, directly upgrade the large ship to energy weapon system. But Hawk also did some preliminary preparations, within this period of time, Hawk has been in orbit around the planet, the repair of two large interstellar dock, just waiting for the technology and resources in place, can immediately start to build the county ship.

In the midst of his busy work, Hawk suddenly received a signal.

"What? The most core encrypted information, decrypted part of it?" Hawk's spirit shook and immediately started.

The decrypted information was only one sentence.

"Since receiving a warning that our planet was about to explode, we spent twenty years building a large ship that could take 300,000 people and escaped to an outer planet above ... far from the star before the disaster hit."

"The planet ... exploded?" Hawk froze in place.
