Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

Qingyang's gaze was immediately drawn to the spherical building at the center of the Star Map Miniature.

It was a colossal structure with a diameter of 200 million kilometers, comparable to some medium-to-large stars!

Surrounding it are 108 auxiliary megastructures, each with a capacity of one million kilometers, which, according to scanning, should belong to computing, data processing, and simulation equipment.

It has no other effect.

The powerful spiritual energy radiated from the Eternal and quickly reached the main body of the massive scientific research structure.

"No defensive reaction..." Qingyang was surprised, and became even more vigilant.

Such a complete, level-nine scientific research megastructure, which has not suffered any external damage, could not possibly lack a defense mechanism.

Thinking of this, Qingyang nodded slightly to Lilith's clone.

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of mechanical warships detached from the Starry Space and sped toward the research behemoth several light-years away.

Qingyang and the others stared intently at the miniature image displayed on the star map.

As the mechatronic warship approached the colossal structure, a ripple suddenly spread around the research facility.

Then, nine pyramids, each with a diameter of one million kilometers, appeared out of nowhere.

The next moment, a violent arc of high-dimensional energy swept across, instantly vaporizing tens of thousands of mechanical warships.

From beginning to end, only one of the pyramid defensive structures launched the attack.

"A damage index of 500,000... a 100% disintegration characteristic, and a hint of... an even stronger aura of attack?"

Qingyang was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

[Confirmed - Capable of inflicting 1.5% damage according to the dismantling rule]

Chapter 197 Unknown Device Activated Within the Ruins

Is it subject to rules-based enforcement?

Qingyang was slightly taken aback. Even if it was only about one percent of the rule-based attack, it was still beyond the reach of high-dimensional special abilities.

The difference between the two is even greater than that between high-dimensional properties and conventional forces, even if there is only a tiny bit mixed in between.

Any high-dimensional destructive power with essentially the same exponential magnitude cannot compete with it!

Unless the base index power differs by a factor of ten thousand, it might be possible to use a clumsy method to slowly and forcibly wear down that one percent of rule characteristics.

The power of a 500,000-point index is ten thousand times greater...

Even the peak power of the Eternal Fleet's current Kappa Spear isn't that exaggerated; at most, it's a thousand times stronger!

With a slight lift of his gaze, Qingyang carefully examined the massive scientific research structure in the distance, and couldn't help but fall into thought.

If there is no way to break through the defense modules of the current scientific research behemoth, the Eternal Fleet will definitely not be able to enter this ruin today.

While the roughly one percent rule-based attack cannot ignore the data-driven shield and inflict true damage, the rule-based enhancement brings various amplifications to the 500,000 damage index.

This is enough to cause the combined shield to drop by at least 20% while taking away dozens or even hundreds of starships.

It's important to know that there wasn't just one of these defensive pyramids, but a total of nine!

Furthermore, Qingyang was also unclear about the density of saturation attacks.

Even if all the starships were stored in the Star Space, more than five strikes containing the rules of decomposition would be enough to shatter the combined shield!

Exploring a ruin would be a gamble with the Eternal Fleet and its crew; Qingyang would never do that.

After thinking for a while, Qingyang decided to test the waters first.

Thinking of this, Qingyang nodded slightly to Changxi, and then the Yuan Sha main cannon at the front of the Eternal suddenly lit up!

The terrifying power and high-dimensional properties caused the surrounding spatial barriers to tremble slightly, and then the enormous light spear, with a destructive power of nearly a million, struck the distant scientific research building in an instant!

Normally, without a shield, even a colossal structure with a diameter of 200 million kilometers would dissipate instantly in the face of this attack.

However, what happened next was beyond Qingyang's expectations. Just as the light spear flashed, the main torrent of attacks disappeared into thin air about a hundred kilometers from the surface of the giant structure.

The surrounding aftershocks had no impact on the giant scientific research structure.

Li Qing, who was continuously observing the star map, immediately said, "The attack was refracted into the turbulence behind the spatial barrier by an extremely stable spatial structure."

Upon hearing this, Qingyang sighed. Although he had expected it, he still felt a little regretful.

"The current situation is truly troublesome. Let's send out dozens more mechanical fleets to test the defensive strength of the ruins." Qingyang decided to give it another try.

Without hesitation, Lilith immediately dispatched hundreds of thousands of mechanical warships, in different batches and of different sizes, to rush towards the scientific research ruins from all directions.

As the mechanical warship rapidly approached, the nine defensive pyramids reappeared, this time with dozens of arcs of light flashing past simultaneously.

The violent blast wave spread, and all the mechanical fleets affected by it were wiped out. However, two fleets remained unscathed until the next wave of attacks destroyed them.

Everyone inside the Eternal's eyes lit up.

There's a limit to attack density!

A saturation attack only has about fifty attacks, leaving plenty of openings to exploit.

As for what to do after they leave, Lilith or Chang Xi should be able to obtain certain permissions for a mere unattended Level 9 scientific research megastructure.

Thinking of this, Qingyang looked at the Starry Space and confirmed that there were still 20 million mechanical warships, which were stored in batches in the four Starry Spaces.

They immediately tested it ten more times, and the data and judgments were indeed accurate. They then prepared to make a breakthrough.

Two million mechanical warships were divided into two hundred fire-attracting fleets.

The Eternal, alone, immediately prepared to initiate a faster-than-light advance.

As for spatial warp, given that the other side can freely use spatial technology, spatial warp is too uncertain.

"Prepare!"

Qingyang was extremely solemn. Wang Zilan's talent skills were fully activated, maximizing the stealth mode and energy level concealment.

In an instant, the first million mechanical warships entered the ruins' defensive range.

Without waiting for the results, the Eternal, only one second behind the second batch of mechanical warships, rushed out at superluminal speed!

Ignoring the shockwaves from the explosion and destruction of most of the first batch of warships, the Eternal accelerated faster and faster, just as the second wave of defensive pyramids launched their attack.

The Eternal first retreated to the left, then sped off again at full speed!

Just before the third wave of attacks arrived, the Eternal rushed directly into the near-ground range of the ruins!

The nine pyramids immediately ignored the Eternal and swiftly destroyed the two million mechanical warships according to their fixed procedure.

Noticing that the nine pyramids were no longer attacking, Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief.

If he gets too close to the main structure, the nine pyramids will attack, so Qingyang will have no choice but to use some of his trump cards to retreat.

For example, the Magic Weapon Overload Core.

After observing cautiously for a moment, Qingyang and the others finally focused their attention on the enormous structure before them, which stretched as far as the eye could see and resembled a silver-white cosmic wall.

Getting close to a spherical creation with a diameter of 200 million kilometers, the sheer awe was enough to leave even Qingyang, who was used to grand occasions, in awe.

Half of the view is the starry sky, and the other half is structures!

As the star map expanded, the Eternal quickly located a spaceport it could access.

Upon quickly arriving at the port area, the Eternal released all its starships before docking.

More than 10,000 enormous starships were neatly moored in a starport area, followed by hundreds of thousands of sophisticated mechanical warships.

The docking port was quickly filled.

Having determined the specifications of the internal navigation channels of the massive ruins, Qingyang abandoned his plan to enter in the Eternal.

Apart from the main navigation channels within the several mega-structures, no warship exceeding 30 kilometers in length is allowed to pass freely in other areas.

It would be better to drive the Star Shuttle inside.

I remember buying several high-end Star Shuttles from the Alliance before coming here this time?

Qingyang first said to Gu Xing, Tian Ling, and Xiang Fei, "Prepare yourselves. Enter alone; I will accompany you."

"clear."

Then he looked at Zhuge Ling, Gu Xue, Li Qing and Wang Zilan.

"The fleet is ready at any time. If it receives orders, it should not hesitate to attack the megastructure directly! Or it should rush into our area."

"Yes!"

Qingyang nodded, pulled up the panel, and confirmed that it was a star shuttle.

The elliptical star shuttle, about 300 meters long, possesses extremely advanced technology, and its armor layer is strong enough to withstand ten saturation attacks from the Star Destroyer!

Its speed and stealth are even comparable to the Eternal in its blank state.

As for the shield, Qingyang did not take it into consideration; wasn't the Commander's Shield stronger than this?

Everyone was ready in just a few minutes.

Tianling and other core crew members skilled in individual combat, along with hundreds of elite extraordinary individuals, have all entered standby mode.

Accompanying them was a team of elite researchers, including Belya.

After all, it's a scientific research site, so bringing a team of researchers with you would definitely be useful.

Once the team was finalized, Qingyang put on a portable spatial containment bracelet on his wrist, which contained 50,000 Star Guardian mechs!

Shield-Breaking Mech!

"Board the ship immediately and depart!" Qingyang said solemnly.

The Star Shuttle immediately shot out.

At that moment, inside the enormous scientific research facility.

A floating pyramid device suddenly lit up, its orderly energy circuits flashing continuously.
