135. Locals

Duda stood under the Star Gate and watched Hogadney pound the Star Gate console hard. Judging from this reaction, the giant's desire to return to the Empire's territory may not be as easy as he thought.

"Why! It's actually locked!" Huo Jia roared.

"Can this thing be locked?" Duda leaned over and found that he had just reached Huo Jia's chest, so he moved away two steps.

"Well, under normal circumstances, the operating table of the Star Gate can be freely set to dial, but the operating table of the Star Gate was locked on their home planet by the Zerg people, so it was a very tragic thing. We cannot go to any planet from here for help, and we can only be pinned to live underground by the Zerg people. I must have thought we were stupid and weak, but at the beginning, the Zerg people had destroyed our aerospace system, and we didn't even have air supremacy..."

"Shut up!" Hogardoni couldn't understand the language of the locals, but it did not prevent him from ending his ear torture with a high decibel roar.

Duda glanced at the friendly local, nodded slightly, and whispered: "It's better not to talk, he will tear Ji in half."

The locals who only reached Duda's waist raised their heads, looked at Hogadney in the sunlight, and nodded in horror.

Her appearance made Duda happy for a while, at least before she spoke.

========

The story is a long story. If you must have wanted to know the origin of this small human being, we can turn back time and go back half an hour ago:

At that time, Duda had already made a desperate bet and was ready to flash immediately. Just when he was about to launch, the giant insect's nostrils opened by itself.

The sunlight outside made Du Da breathe a sigh of relief. Before he could put Huo Jia down, he rushed out, fearing that this unreliable twitching reaction would close his nostrils again.

When Duda flew to the entrance of the cave, he discovered the truth about the sunshine.

The opening of the nostrils is not caused by the twitching reaction caused by the disappearance of biological current, but a group of villains with only 120 cm. They are using cranes and support poles to open and strengthen the nostrils. It seems that the next step is to send a metal chain in. The front of the entire giant insect is like a complicated construction site, with various cranes and mechanical tools step by step, in order.

"You guys don't mind let's move this dragon insect away." The short little man raised his head, his big eyes that occupied half of his face were spinning around.

They are shown on Hogardone's biological detector.

Duda looked at the little dwarf who came up to say hello, nodded, and agreed to their request. Especially the little human has very delicate facial features and a bit like a doll.

Plasma beetles should be the most powerful animal on this planet. But how do these guys plan to eat them?

"Eat? Why do we eat this kind of thing?" The little dwarf looked at Duda with a look of barbaric civilization. "The dragon insect's carapace is a very good decoration material, and it is an excellent insulator. We are just waste utilization. If we talk about eating, we prefer..."

"Then please ask." Duda directly interrupted the little dwarf's chatter, "What are you going to use to dismember it?"

"Saw." The dwarf whispered, shaking two pink braids. She looked around and wanted to find a saw for Duda to get to know him, but in the end she gave up.

Duda walked to the plasma beetle, took out the lightsaber, and stabbed it in very easily. He felt his eyebrows tight. Could it be that nature would have an animal's defense ability that is stronger than the exoskeleton? However, judging from the attack of the light arrow, the plasma beetle, which is the dragon insect called by the locals, will obviously be more painful when it is attacked internally.

"After the dragon insect dies, the protective energy in the carapace disappears, and it will be very fragile. Is there any problem?" The short dwarf girl ran around Duda and raised her head. She seemed to have no need to participate in the labor there, and she looked like a senior manager. Of course, in fact, these short humans did not have any specific physical work, and all the work was left to the huge robot to complete.

The robots are each three meters high, and from the outside they look like ordinary iron sheets, connected with rivets. Duda is not sure what power they use, but the two large chimneys on their backs will spew suspicious water vapor as the robot moves.

In addition to these robot labor, the dwarfs also drove a tank that was also steam-powered. Their troops used metal crossbow arrows and long swords, and formally these simple weapons helped them drive away nearby insects.

"These weapons of the guys..." Duda pointed to the steam tanks-short and thick muzzles. It was hard to imagine that they could have any attack power. "Can they deal with these bugs? Especially this."

"Well, this has to start two hundred years ago." The dwarf girl shook her braids and spoke with a silence. "At that time, we were still as tall as the Highlanders."

Two hundred years ago, this planet was a standard template for a high-tech world, with well-connected transportation routes, flying suspended cars, floating cities that cover the sky and the sun... Yes, locals built the city in the sky, which could expand the living space and allow the world to accommodate more people.

Until one day, archaeologists discovered a gate in the Arctic, which is the interstellar gate.

"The star gate only exists in our classics, and no one has successfully recovered." said the dwarf girl. "Our civilization is limited to this star system and can only mine resources in the galaxy, so everyone is very excited and hopes to enter another galaxy through the star gate and explore our roots."

Like many intelligent races, "where we first came from", "where we ended up going", and "what we were the purpose of coming", these are the fundamental questions. When Alexei defined "humanity", these three ultimate questions were even one of the criteria. As long as these three questions can be asked, they can be regarded as a smart creature - human.

To explore this problem, local scientists repaired the star gate. They found that after a long period of legend, there was no problem with the energy supply of the star gate, and it could be used as long as it was placed in the right position. This made them excited and excited.

Some scientists also expressed fear: the level of Star Gate civilization is too high, and it is very dangerous to play with the toys of "adults". However, under the inspiration of the mysterious phrase "Another World", this sound is naturally blocked by people.

For the locals, the only problem is that they do not know the star gate address of another world and cannot enter the correct number through the energy arc. They keep trying various combinations, and all end up in failure without exception. So they can only use the stupidest method: wait for the rabbit.

Perhaps the star gate will have an impact on the connectable star gate after the star gate is restored. Anyway, they received an access signal without waiting for too long.

"That day was the last day of history..." The dwarf girl lowered her head and her voice became low. "After the Star Gate was connected, two small insects flew over from the opposite side and died soon. No one noticed at that time. We hoped to communicate with smart creatures, so we sent a robot. From the cameras sent back, we saw that there was a dazzling world over there. The star gate of the same size stood in a tropical rainforest. There were all kinds of strange animals in the whole world, completely different from ours, but no humans were seen."

The dwarf girl was a little excited when she spoke, as if she had seen that world with her own eyes.

"And what? These bugs ran to their world?" Duda didn't want to know that long ago. He was more concerned about what weapons could use to eliminate these bugs now, and there were six bugs heading towards the moon!

"No, it's more tortuous. This is what happened..."

Duda felt like he was stunned. He wanted to raise this little thing and educate her for a long story.

However, seeing the fear and insecurity she exposed in communication with others, using violence may lead to her being completely unable to speak or being completely incoherent. Haste is not good, Duda understands this truth very well.

"A part of us advocated occupying that world... Since no one came out there, we could invite them out with powerful weapons. Of course, those people are the current highlanders, and we are all peace-loving people, so we entered underground caves or mountains during the catastrophe and began to live in caves. As a result... after being exposed to radiation, people became what they saw..."

"So... do you still remember how we were talking about these bugs just now?" Duda's tone gradually grew higher and finally burst out unbearably.

"Well, I'm about to say." The dwarf girl said with a grievance, "Please don't treat us with such a fierce attitude. We are peace-loving humans."

"I'm sorry, so do I... OK, let's continue."

"The war between the Highlanders on Gorudo Stars - which we call the insect nest planet - started very smoothly. We easily occupied the entire planet, but we still didn't find the intelligent humans who sent us invitation letters. But who still cared at that time? We had the entire Gorudo Star, and there was plenty of Gorudo ore, enough for us to use it for tens of thousands of years! Do you want to know what that ore is?..."

"I don't want to! I just want to know how you guys deal with this kind of bug!" Duda said.

"Please don't worry..."

"You're just trying to trick me!" Duda held the hilt of the lightsaber tightly.

"No, no, I have always been the least talkative person. Everyone calls me the taciturn Karami, but Karami's question must be explained clearly. Who made Karami and he a warrior who destroyed the dragon insects? In our society, being able to kill a tank insect is..." Karami shook her pink pigtails with fear on her face and said in a trembling voice.

"I was wrong... Please go back to the previous question, how did you lose." Duda was speechless. Looking at the scene of other dwarfs looking eager to try and discussing it in a long story, he decided to continue listening to the history class of the self-proclaimed "talkie Karami".
