Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

The massive mechanical fleet dispersed one after another, rushing towards the incubation base that was being established, by sharing a star map.

Li Qing and the others controlled their respective starship formations and followed several of the mechanical fleets away.

As for the colossal structure, even a swarm of insects couldn't destroy it just by placing it there.

It can continuously produce shield generators and functional units on its own, and unless the giant shield of the Heavenly Craftsmanship can be destroyed in one go, it is impossible to threaten this logistics fortress.

Qingyang activated the amplification equipment on the two motherships, quickly entering stealth mode and leaping into the dark space region towards a large area covered by shadows.

To ensure concealment, Qingyang temporarily shut down the war interference of the local star network.

Instantly, the original coldness and murderous aura once again enveloped everyone's mental state.

But it's not very useful.

The only problem is that it slightly interferes with the Eternal Fleet.

[The fleet's higher-dimensional energy ratio is suppressed by the void: -1% (19%)]

The fleet's equipment operating efficiency was suppressed, but the suppression effect has been offset by Taiyin.

[Carrier-based aircraft experienced interference, resulting in a 5% decrease in sensitivity]

"This is really a convenient way to interfere in war. I wonder how much suppression normal civilizations suffer," Qingyang thought to himself.

The fleet silently advanced into the depths of the Zerg-occupied territory.

Swarm flagship.

The cerebrate observes the wars that are breaking out in various places through the swarm's will, and its indifferent thoughts command the biological warships through the swarm's will.

The flagship silently infiltrated the dark space region, while dozens of Zerg fleets roamed around the main hive area.

It knew that this was the main force of the human space fleet.

They have already slipped into the shadows.

This is a common tactic used by the alliance.

Chapter 148: A good idea, but unfortunately it's useless.

The mass and strength of the Starfleet will be tested by the Zerg swarm many times.

Therefore, the Brain Bug had ample preparations and countermeasures against the Alliance Star Fleet's intrusion operation.

The Zerg fleet, shrouded in shadow, received orders, and a significant portion of it began to converge on a particular area.

At the same time, a large amount of resources were poured into that area, and huge biological structures and corruption fields continued to spread across the planet's surface in that region.

As time went on.

Besides the three important structures—the main nest, the large hatchery, and the devourer hatchery—the scale of the biological structures in that area was not much smaller than that of the main nest.

With the addition of more than twenty Zerg fleets and some motherships, it resembled the main hive area.

Many Zerg fleets, wandering hundreds or thousands of light-years away, were subtly calibrating their long-range, beyond-visual-range firepower over that area.

Clearly, the cerebrate wanted to create a fake 'main hive' to lure the Eternal Fleet into appearing, thus setting up an ambush.

The brain worm is deeply frustrated by this.

When facing most enemies, the Void Zerg don't need to think about tactics at all; the biggest role of the Cerebrate is to act as the central processing unit of the swarm.

Responsible for handling operational strategies and some strategic adjustments.

tactics?

The vastness of the Zerg swarm and its terrifying ability to sustain warfare mean that little tactical maneuvering is needed!

Only when facing the Alliance Star Fleet will the Brain Bug resort to various crude tactics learned from other opponents in an attempt to restrain the Star Fleet, which has many different focuses.

The Eternal Fleet, flagship Taiyi.

Qingyang quickly spotted this scene on the star map, gazing at the massively assembled insect fleet and the bio-structures that had spread to tens of thousands of planets.

His expression remained unchanged.

Seeing that Qingyang had given no orders and did not act rashly, everyone looked at him intently.

Qingyang smiled faintly: "Very clever. Even a T6 gold-level star fleet would have a hard time noticing anything amiss, since the scale is indeed no different from the main nest."

The idea is good, but unfortunately it won't work for him.

"Star of Truth, pinpoint the location of the cerebrate and the main nest region."

[Consuming 20 Truth Points, determining target coordinates]

[Cerebral Amoeba (Swarm Flagship): xxxx]

[Note: The Zerg flagship has a defense index of 300,000 and a damage index of 200,000. It is surrounded by two elite Zerg fleets, totaling more than 28,000 elite warship units.]

[Main Nest Area: xxxxx]

[Note: The main hive area is guarded by three elite fleets and thirty regular Zerg fleets, totaling over three million warships.]

Qingyang confirmed the coordinates, then looked at Changxi: "How many disposable conventional weapons are left in the warehouse?"

“Two neutron collapse bombs and one dark matter rioter,” Chang Xi replied.

Qingyang no longer hesitated: "Target: Brain Worm, warp coordinates... Depart!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, hundreds of starships hidden in the dark space vanished from their original location and sped off in another direction.

Within the flagship, which is over two hundred kilometers long, a thousand-meter-long brain worm, resembling a slug, swayed slightly, its terrifying mental power constantly spreading across the surrounding dozens of light-years.

Be vigilant against any potential dangers.

For some reason, it always felt that some inexplicable danger was about to strike!

Having carefully reviewed his plan and confirmed that there were no loopholes or obvious flaws, the brain worm dispelled its doubts and focused on controlling the frontline army's engagement with the enemy's mechanical fleet.

Millions of powerful mechanical warships have put considerable pressure on the front lines, and several important incubation bases have been destroyed, resulting in the deaths of a large number of Devourers.

Unlike other diverse biological warships, the Void Swarm only has one type of resource gathering unit: the Devourer, which differs in size and level.

As a biological unit capable of devouring matter and energy and transforming it into basic particles, its hatching process is naturally different from that of other biological warships.

It requires a dedicated Devourer Incubation Ground, and the necessary resources include rare particles, rare energy, and a certain amount of void energy.

The heavy losses suffered by the Devourer have made the Brain Bug somewhat dissatisfied.

hum~

Sudden.

A piercing, subtle buzzing sound came from the mental domain, immediately alerting the brain worm.

Before any concrete reaction could be made, hundreds of light spears rushed straight towards the flagship, including a hundred terrifying star-destroying light spears!

At the critical moment, thousands of dark gold creature warships resembling beetles appeared and stood in the way of the attack.

As the dark purple shield rose, at least 60% of the attacks were completely blocked, with only a portion landing on the flagship's defensive field.

Intense energy tremors and storms swept across a large area, and amidst the chaotic energy flow, a small mechanical sphere was sent into the vicinity of the flagship's shield.

Together with the Zerg flagship, they left the dark space and descended into the real dimension.

Upon noticing the damage to thousands of elite bio-ships, the cerebrate was alarmed and enraged, but its subconscious mechanical emotions prevented it from panicking in the slightest.

The two elite fleets and the surrounding regular fleets were dispatched in an orderly manner to support the flagship.

At the same time, a large number of tiny flying insects, only a few meters long, were released. Billions of these flying insects crashed around in all directions, swarming and rapidly traversing the surrounding starry sky.

They possess a kind of mental wave-like ability to detect the existence of unknown entities in unseen spaces.

A mental probe wave composed of hundreds of billions of these tiny insects is enough to cover tens of light-years in the surrounding area!

Unfortunately, although Wang Zilan did not follow the main fleet, as long as she was still in the starship of the Eternal Fleet, her adjutant talent could still take effect!

Despite the boost from the Purple Gold talent, the Zerg Swarm's mental probes failed to detect any trace of the Eternal Fleet.

Qingyang activated the neutron collapse bomb and simultaneously activated the local star network's anti-interference mode, completely dispelling the void shadows within a hundred light-years of the vicinity!

To prevent the swarm flagship from activating any special survival mechanism using the shadows.

The terrifying, solidified deep blue light radiated outwards, carrying an indescribable force field that forcefully distorted the already unstable space around it.

The elite biological warships, whose defenses were incomplete and subjected to a barrage of light spears, were instantly shredded.

Even the flagship, with its terrifying defensive capabilities, began to falter, its defensive field visibly dimming.

On the other side, Lilith, having received the coordinates of the main hive area, immediately controlled millions of mechanical warships, and with the assistance of the four Eternal Fleets, they collectively warped towards the main hive!

Within the flagship, whose body was extensively damaged, the brain worm remained calm despite the rapidly declining energy level of the defensive field.

He calmly ordered the rest of the Zerg fleet to return to the main hive area, and at the same time issued an order to the main hive area to hatch new cerebrates, before turning his attention to the present.

There are only two ways for a Void Swarm to give birth to a new cerebrate: either the old cerebrate issues a hatching command, or the old cerebrate disconnects from the mental network and begins hatching an hour later.

The reason why a single swarm does not have multiple cerebrates is due to an interesting procedural pattern of the Void Swarm.

Once a new cerebrate is born, it will completely replace all the authority of the old cerebrate in the swarm, even if the old cerebrate is still alive at that time.

The command key to interrupt the hatching of the cerebrate can only be obtained within the hive network, and this key is updated tens of thousands of times per second.

Therefore, only cerebrates that are alive and unaffected by unknown means can have their hatching interrupted.

After all, as long as it's within the insect hive network, the cerebrate is almost impossible to control.

Finally, the destructive power of the neutron collapse bomb gradually diminished and then disappeared completely.

With only a thin layer of shield remaining on the Zerg flagship, Qingyang immediately ordered a hundred Star Destroyers to launch an attack without hesitation.

The terrifying light spear easily tore through the shaky flagship's shield and pierced through the hull!

One of the light spears pierced directly through the central control area, instantly annihilating the enormous brain worm inside without leaving a trace.

Looking at the swarm of Zerg warships around him, which had lost their mental network command and were gradually going berserk, seemingly intent on fighting each other, Qingyang did not attack them, but quickly rushed towards the main nest area.

Once the main nesting area and several important hatching bases are destroyed, along with the death of the cerebrates, it is essentially equivalent to annihilating the swarm.

The main nest is the only place where brain worms can be hatched, and the large hatchery, which is mainly used to produce biological warships, is also located there. The Devourer Hatchery is also located there.

Without these biological structures and brain worm mechanisms, it would take at least several decades to rebuild a main hive from scratch.
