My Children Swarm the Cosmos – Chapter 51.3

In the luxurious private room prepared in the ship, Serlyn was piling up gold bars on the table to form pyramids.

Clank.

Then as if she got tired of it, she knocked the pile of gold bars down to the side.

“Aleshe.”

“Yes, Administrator.”

An advanced humanoid wearing a suit approached the collapsed pile of gold bars with a thud.

It was Serlyn’s secretary humanoid, who had been with her for 28 years and had a female voice.

“Why did the Darwin Foundation create such a weapon?”

“Are you referring to the Chimeraz?”

Aleshe began to stack the collapsed pile of gold bars back into the shape of a pyramid, piece by piece.

“Yes. The Chimeraz. Wasn’t it a dangerous weapon from the design stage? What if they actually create a Medusa-class weapon after investing 18 years into it? It’s a weapon that evolves on its own. We can’t control it like AI or machines.”

“The Darwin Foundation seeks profit through weaponizing life. It makes sense for them to develop increasingly powerful weapons if it means they can grow stronger and prepare for hostile forces that threaten humanity.”

“No, machines are enough for weapons. We have humanoids, tanks, ships, and AI. Why do they have to be living organisms?”

“Living organisms are immune to electromagnetic pulses, cyberattacks, and some are even immune to radiation. This is the necessity of bioweapons, which the Darwin Foundation actively emphasizes.”

“Is that all?”

“Is it not?”

After stacking the pile of gold bars into the shape of a pyramid, Aleshe took a step back.

Serlyn glared at the gold pyramid Aleshe had built. It seemed more perfect than the pyramid she had built earlier.

“. . . I think he knew this would happen.”

“Considering that Lopez-nim knows everything, it is very likely that he knew.”

“Then why is he just letting the Chimeraz run wild like this?”

“. . . .”

“It’s just common sense. He favors the majority and humanity. But he is just letting a creature like the Chimeraz be born, and now that the Chimeraz is running rampant, there is not much intervention from the UNF except externally.”

“Yes. So he must have something in mind after looking ahead at all the situations and events.”

“Ha. . . .”

Serlyn, whose thoughts had become complicated, lit a cigarette.

“The Chimeraz helps humans, is that it? Are you saying that those monsters are really needed in this world?”

“Why don’t you ask him yourself?”

“He’s too high up for me to reach. He’s also too busy.”

“But didn’t Francis Darwin-nim ask him for help?”

“Then the one who helped the chief was Sheamus Pollan. The President of the Defaulstellay Federal Star. I heard he’s hiding in that star system and coming up with countermeasures against the Chimeraz. . . . Ah, I really don’t understand any of this.”

“For now, Administrator, you have found the coordinates of the Chimeraz’s main colony. Currently, the UNF is cooperating with each megacorporation, so it seems like you should start by providing the UNF with those coordinates and activating the Planet Weapon owned by Mirnyy.”

“Right. Anyway, I figured it out. . . . It’s time to pay them back for what they did.”

At that moment, Aleshe paused for a moment and received some kind of signal.

“Administrator. We have now entered the Procyon star system. . . .”

“Why?”

“I will display the hologram.”

Aleshe displayed a hologram in front of Serlyn’s eyes.

There was a main sequence star like the sun and a white dwarf the size of Mars. The distance between Procyon and the solar system is about 11 light-years, which is relatively close, but Procyon did not receive much attention because it did not have any planets or asteroid clouds where resources could be obtained.

However, about 22 years ago, a rogue planet passing by the Procyon star system was captured by the gravity of the star and began to orbit the Procyon star system.

The dwarf planet was taken over by Mirnyy.

This place, where there is no nation, is clearly a star system owned by Mirnyy. This is because Mirnyy built the Babylonia dwarf planet here as a Planet Weapon.

The Babylonia Planet Weapon is a facility in which the entire surface of a dwarf planet, which is slightly smaller than the moon, is covered with a new material alloy, turning it into a weapon.

And there is a gigantic gun barrel that is 38.5km high, so when you look at it from space, it looks like a lollipop with a big head.

So the Babylonia Planet Weapon had to look like a lollipop with a big head.

“W-Why did it become like this. . . ?”

The giant gun barrel was broken in half, and the surface was scorched, causing burn marks all over. It was terribly damaged, as if it had been attacked by a fleet.

And there was a huge fleet of ships around the Babylonia Planet Weapon.

“150 fleets. It’s the UNF fleet.”

“What. . . ?”

If there were 150 fleets, it would mean that more than half of the UNF fleet had come, but there was no way they would destroy the Planet Weapon with their own hands. That’s because the Planet Weapon is a great weapon for humanity.

“Transmission from the fleet commander of the UNF. Do you want to answer?”

“Accept it quickly!”

➖This is the fleet commander of the UNF 5th Fleet. I would like the person in charge of the six fleets currently approaching the Babylonia Planet Weapon to identify themselves.

“I am Vincent Serlyn, the CEO of Mirnyy. Search for my ship. Aleshe. Send the ship data to them.”

“Done.”

➖. . . It’s nice to meet you, CEO Serlyn. I have some unfortunate news.

“What happened to my Planet Weapon?”

➖There was an engagement with the Chimeraz for about seven hours.

She finally figured out the location of the main colony and was about to activate the Planet Weapon.

When she came back, the Chimeraz had destroyed the Planet Weapon.

Looking closely, there were debris of spaceships and living organisms floating in space.

➖We rescued as many facility personnel as possible and drove out the Chimeraz, but when our fleet received the message and arrived, the facility was already completely destroyed.

🔷🔷🔷

Referring to galactic maps, I could tamper with human things one by one.

If I know what’s where to fight, I can weaken the human forces much more efficiently than before.

I take their technology, methods, resources, planets. That’s how chimeraz will properly confront them.

“Nazar.”

➖We have entered the Procyon star system.

“Enemy forces?”

➖Five fleets. It’s a number we can handle.

Nazar reported that and was honestly impressed.

➖By the way, the Babylonia Planet Weapon. . . . Humans had such a secret weapon. If we didn’t have the map of the galaxy, we would have never found it and been attacked.

Even most humans only know the concept and existence of the Planet Weapon, but they do not know where it is specifically.

However, the Venice Editorial Intelligence Agency’s map of the galaxy had the locations of even the Planet Weapons marked.

“Gnox. Once the fleet battle begins and the battle inside the facility takes place, infiltrate the facility and steal information and technology.”

“Yes. Kreion-nim.”

“And Vatory. Escort Gnox with the Elite group.”

“Leave it to me!”

“Nazar. Prepare the Organic Accelerator Cannons of the Euryale and Lemegeton warships.”

➖Ready.

“Dimensional passageways are not available here since this is not a nation. Therefore, humans will have a hard time noticing what is happening here right away, and reinforcements probably won’t come like they did in Nemea.”

40 Lemegetons and one Euryale accelerate towards the Babylonia Planet Weapon.

“Steal the blueprints for that giant weapon. And destroy it so that it can never be used again.”

Kreion had decided to attack the Babylonia Planet Weapon.
