A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 300 The Unyielding Swarm Mastermind

The story begins when the Babel bee swarm suddenly suffered its ultimate destruction.

The sudden loss of psionic power caused the swarm's psionic network to collapse, the entire Babel swarm to disintegrate, and Moston, like most swarm creatures, directly lost all his psionic power.

Psionic energy occupies an extremely important position in the hive's technology tree. It's like boiling water for humans. If one day boiling water on Earth suddenly becomes completely useless for industry, then most of humanity's industrial capabilities will be rendered useless.

Some might think that electricity could be used to boil water, but in reality, to generate enough electricity to meet industrial needs, one must use either thermal power, nuclear power, or hydropower.

Hydropower, such as the Three Gorges Dam, can meet industrial needs, but due to geographical limitations, it cannot compare with thermal power plants or nuclear power plants. Therefore, the main power generation methods in human society are thermal power generation or nuclear power generation.

Whether it's thermal power generation or nuclear power generation, the essence is the same—boiling water.

Therefore, if boiling water were to suddenly cease to provide power for human industry, the human industrial system would almost be paralyzed overnight.

Similarly, regarding the psionic energy of a bee swarm, after the ultimate destruction attack, the bee swarm, whose psionic energy was rendered ineffective, regressed directly to the level of the chemical industry.

Faced with such a crisis, Moston played his role as the swarm's mastermind.

It quickly used other means of communication to unite the bee colonies within its communication range, each forming a bee colony under their command, and actively exploring outwards to search for other bee colonies and to find ways to restore psionic energy.

Compared to Lu Shang, Moston was much luckier. Its universe contained a civilization built by psionic beings, and the level of psionic energy was not very high.

Unlike Entropy, Moston is the type that tries to avoid conflict because it is well aware that its military command capabilities are not very good. Therefore, it has always focused on the continuation of the swarm, ever since it was chosen by the old Overlord to become the mastermind.

So after discovering that psionic civilization with a relatively low level of psionic energy, it did not send its swarm to wage war, but instead lay in the shadows, trying to capture individuals within that psionic civilization and then analyze them.

Without the outbreak of a war of civilizations, Moston achieved his goal.

Based on the analysis of the captured psionic creatures, Moston quickly realized that the ultimate destruction attack did not disable the 'brain's use of psionic energy,' but rather the 'brains' of the swarm at that time.' In other words, by replacing the swarm with psionic brains that the swarm had never used before, the swarm could use psionic energy normally again.

Upon discovering this, Moston and the bee colony he led quickly restored the colony's industrial capabilities and its efficient communication network.

With psionic powers, virtually no civilization in Moston's universe could pose a threat to the swarm anymore.

Having regained their psionic abilities, the swarm creatures, under Moston's command, set off towards other fallen universes of the swarm, hoping to reclaim the swarm's territory.

During this process, Moston met Grana, who also led a bee colony.

The two masterminds merged their swarms and unified their respective swarm networks. During this exchange of information, the two masterminds began to consider the issue of ultimate destruction, since as more and more scattered swarms are absorbed, the swarms will inevitably return to their original peak state.

At that time, we will still inevitably have to confront the question of ultimate destruction.

This thought made the two masterminds, Moston and Grana, feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, because they found that the more they thought about solving the ultimate destruction and the future of the bee colony's survival, the more they felt that there was a dead end ahead.

No, it should be said that the Babel bee swarm has always been on a dead end, and should have been destroyed back in the time of the old overlord. It was just that it was lucky enough to encounter a human individual named "Lu Shang" who could keep the Babel bee swarm moving forward.

However, while Lu Shang can lead the swarm to continue, he cannot change the fact that the swarm is heading down a dead end.

Lu Shang is not invincible. He can lead the swarm to victory in countless future wars, but if he loses even once, the Babel Tower swarm may face extinction. The psionic failure caused by the ultimate destruction is a typical example of this.

After figuring this out, the two masterminds, Moston and Grana, completely lost their composure. They abandoned the idea of ​​searching for other scattered swarms and recovering the lost universes of the swarms, and instead began to study how to solve the problem of the road.

Because, in the eyes of the two masterminds, the importance of the path outweighs the recovery of the Babel swarm. They believe that the restoration of psionic energy after the attack is an easy problem to discover and solve. With psionic energy, either mastermind can bring the disintegrated swarm back to its peak.

However, the future path of the bee colony is an urgent problem to be solved. The colony is currently on a dead end, and the longer it stays on this path, the greater the possibility of extinction.

In order to avoid extinction, they, as the masterminds, naturally had to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

In the years that followed, Moston, Grana, and the others chose a universe once dominated by the swarm as their testing ground to practice and explore the path they had conceived.

Moston and Grana were thinking about how to prevent the bee colony from dying out.

They first considered the Babel bee swarm as an object, and then thought about how to make this object indestructible.

In fact, nothing is indestructible. Even something as stable as a singularity can be neutralized by negative quanta, and even nothingness can be split into positive and negative quantum pairs.

The universe is a boundless, dynamic chaos. With the addition of the wisdom of "civilization" constantly stirring up this dynamic chaos, the idea that "anything is possible" is no longer just a matter of words.

Therefore, the two main minds, Moston and Grana, concluded that for an object to be immortal, an external mechanism is needed to maintain its existence, thereby achieving its immortality.

The transfer to the Babel bee colony involves setting up an external mechanism outside the Babel bee colony to ensure its survival.

Like... a phantom created by planetary beings using psychic energy.

The phantoms of planetary beings are things that absolutely cannot be destroyed by any type of attack.
