A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 44 Black Hole Induction is Far From Enough

After giving a thorough dressing-down to everyone in the Babel Tower beehive, Lu Shang lost all interest in paying attention to the other masterminds and hives that were busy deconstructing the crystalline genetic material again.

He connected his senses with those of a planetary being imprisoning the crystal.

The crystal was imprisoned by planetary beings using psionic energy within a huge cavity in the strata. The cavity was made of fleshy walls, and Lu Shang's excellent senses allowed him to clearly see every vein and blood vessel on these fleshy walls, as well as the wriggling larvae of bees inside.

In addition, countless black spheres floated inside the cavity. These were areas where even light could not enter after spacetime was distorted to the extreme by psionic energy.

The sphere contains a large number of crystals that were captured not long ago.

The large eyeball connected to the landing entropy senses approached a pitch-black sphere and caused the planetary creatures to open the closed spacetime.

Confined in a space devoid of any light, Bahadur continues to observe the environment surrounding the crystal with strange curiosity.

It is not worried about its situation. Its life form makes it extremely difficult to kill. Even if the Babel bee swarm kills these captured crystals, the crystals hidden by it in the river system can still ensure its survival.

Suddenly, Bahadun noticed a ray of light seeping into the dark barrier.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the pitch-black barrier unfolded, and the environment in which the crystal was located changed, placing it inside a huge cavity made of flesh.

The most eye-catching feature is the large eyeball that is very close to the crystal.

"How pathetic, Bahadun. It seems the execution you're preparing to carry out isn't all that impressive after all," Lu Shang mocked in the psionic network.

"Question... Species... True nature unknown..."

Even now, Bahadun doesn't believe that this is the Tower of Babel bee swarm.

It has no sharp teeth, no sharp claws, and no sheer numbers. Its psychic energy is so vast that it could split a planet in two and then tell it it's a Babel beehive.

"Of course it's the Babel swarm. Can't you, who are so powerful that you want to execute us, recognize our psionic energy?" Lu Shang continued to mock disdainfully.

"Error... Babel Tower bee swarm... Unable to proofread..."

"Whatever you think we are, I don't need to argue about my identity with an incompetent loser." Lu Shang was too lazy to argue about it. In any case, whether this loser acknowledged it or not, the swarm was still the swarm. He came to see Bahaduner mainly to achieve other goals.

"Do you know where the other dependent races are?" Lu Shang asked, addressing a question he was more concerned about.

Bahamton replied: "Question...purpose..."

"Purpose?" Lu Shang replied casually, "No particular purpose. I just wanted to see if they were as smart as you, coming over to get beaten up on their own, and maybe I could capture them for research."

Upon hearing this, without even thinking, Bahaduner directly rejected Lu Shang.

"Answer... Refusal..."

Let it become a traitor under the command of the Void God?

Are you kidding me!

Not to mention that it doesn't know what's going on with the other familiar races, even if it did, it would never inform the Babel bees that have already betrayed the Void God!

Lu Shang was not surprised; in fact, the other party's reaction was pretty much what he expected.

Lu Shang said, "I know I can't threaten you. After all, you are not alone, but a group of you, made up of a network of crystalline psionic energy. As long as there is one crystal in the universe, you will not be destroyed."

"Your survivability is far superior to that of the Babel bee swarm. You're probably secretly pleased that there are still crystals hidden somewhere in the galaxy that we can't destroy, aren't you?"

Lu Shang's intelligence on Bahaduner was not gathered for nothing; he knew the social structure of the enemy race long ago.

Bahadun is an individual, and also a group of individuals. Countless low-intelligence crystals use psychic energy to build a network, and the exchange of information between the networks gives birth to Bahadun.

As long as there is one crystal in the universe, Bahadur will not be completely killed.

"..."

When Lu Shang revealed his trump card so directly, Bahadun was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Do you know why I'm telling you all this?" Lu Shang asked meaningfully.

"I'm using the last bit of kindness I have left to warn you: run away now! The swarm will grow stronger and stronger without end. If you don't run now, it will be too late later."

……

"The spacecraft has entered orbit."

A shuttle-shaped spaceship bearing the Star Alliance insignia, after entering orbit around a solid planet, transmitted a message to a retired Star Alliance warship located 120,000 kilometers away.

The retired warship was once a flagship, but due to the escalation of the war, it could no longer meet the needs of the Allied forces. However, because of its sturdy structure, it was converted into an experimental spaceship.

On the bridge of the experimental spaceship, a group of aliens of various colors, dressed in Alliance research suits, were busy operating the equipment.

A moment later, the alien in charge of the experiment said to the shuttle-shaped spaceship: "All adjustments have been completed. Now we are ready to proceed with the test."

"receive."

The shuttle-shaped spaceship responded.

Then, a comet-shaped object shot out, leaving a long trail, and crashed into the solid planet's surface, creating ripple-like shockwaves.

Then, the planet's surface began to change color, and the grayish-white area expanded at a visible speed to the size of two provincial capitals on Earth.

The shuttle-shaped spaceship continued to drop similar objects across multiple locations on the planet, while simultaneously expanding the grayish-white region.

Looking down from outer space, it resembles a can of paint being poured with other colors.

"This is what you call the nanotechnology industry?"

The envoy from the Star Alliance questioned the person in charge of the experiment.

The host said, "Yes, using nanomachines for industrial production, as long as the scale is large enough, can achieve industrial efficiency that is no less than that of current war machine groups."

The Star Alliance envoy's gaze returned to the test planet, and out of curiosity, he asked, "Nanomechanical technology has always existed, but giant nanotechnology has never been completed because there are too many blueprints and the structures are too complex. How did you solve this problem?"

The host explained: "Based on emergence, the chemical basis of matter's structure is the molecule, then the atom, then the proton, neutron, electron, and then the quark... Why can these particles, without a blueprint, form so many complex things in the universe? Naturally, it's because of emergence."

"It doesn't require a very complex design blueprint. As long as the initial design allows the nanomachines to spontaneously form this industry after being accumulated in sufficient quantities, the resulting interconnected structures will interact and create more complex variations, thus bypassing the vast amount of blueprint information."

After listening to the host's explanation, the envoy from the Star Alliance thought for a moment and then asked, "Then how can industrial precision be guaranteed?"

The host said, "Naturally, it is guaranteed through a complete industrial system. When these nanomachines form a complete industrial chain, the accuracy will be constantly adjusted through calibration, just like the positional numeral system in computers."

"Once the Alliance's war industry is completely free from the threat of the swarm creatures, the balance of power will be reversed."

Upon hearing this, the envoy from the Star River Alliance was slightly taken aback. Seeing that the other party did not seem to be joking, he said, "No, this is not enough. I have been on the battlefield and fought against those swarming creatures. I know very well that the Alliance is still missing some crucial things to defeat the Babel Tower swarm that is undergoing mutation."

"Something crucial?" The experiment leader pondered for a moment, then solemnly said, "Please tell me, and we can try to achieve it according to your requirements."

The Star Alliance envoy replied, "What the Alliance forces need most right now is a more efficient, more direct, and unstoppable means of attack. Ideally, it should kill the enemy instantly, leaving them no time to react and unable to defend against it."

"The black hole-induced strike is far from enough to give the alliance an irreversible advantage."
