Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

at the same time.

The core area of ​​the StarNet.

As a brand-new pan-human concept was integrated into the core, suddenly an extremely large and vast gray-white mist gradually followed that pan-human concept.

They attempted to break into the core area of ​​the StarNet!

An incredibly eerie fog instantly spread across millions of light-years.

However, before any breakthrough could be made, a peerless figure in crimson gold suddenly appeared in front of the gray-white mist.

A hazy, mystical body was surrounded by ethereal crimson stars, and her waist-length hair, shimmering with endless crimson-gold starlight, rippled incessantly.

Her red star-like eyes, gentle as a mother's, fell upon the boundless gray-white expanse.

The next moment, the concept of 'existence' actually appeared in the boundless fog of destruction!

In an instant, the Mist of Annihilation transformed into a Sea of ​​Rules brimming with life force, merging into the various Star Network worlds.

Then, the gentle Akahoshi no Mutsu turned to one side and gazed at it for a moment.

Before the divine figure finally dissipated, a hint of helplessness appeared in its eyes.

Chapter 200 The War for Hegemony, the Descent of Eternity

On the other side, they watched as the five million embryos of the Suoyang Empire gradually returned to normal.

Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew for certain that it would take a long time for a level nine civilization to be destroyed, it certainly wouldn't pose a threat to the Star Network.

However, it's uncertain whether these embryos can be saved.

Without the embryo, the Suoyang Empire's concept of pan-human civilization would be significantly less valuable to the Alliance.

People are the most precious asset of a civilization.

As for recovering a group of Suoyang humans from the perspective of time, the cost would be enormous!

An alternate universe, a level nine civilization, and contamination due to destruction are all factors that increase the cost of recall.

"Transfer these embryos to the Starry Space as soon as possible. Remove the usable equipment from the ruins and put it into the research megastructure. Leave the other useless equipment here."

Qingyang said decisively, "A colossal structure with a diameter of 200 million kilometers is not easy to take away, and most of its equipment is useless to the Eternal Fleet."

Perhaps we should keep it here as a memento.

The most important thing in the ruins of the Soyang Empire is the five million pan-human embryos; the other things are not very valuable, strictly speaking.

Presumably, the core objective of the destruction protocol and the efforts Ropkin made to protect it were these embryos.

They are the ultimate foundation of a level nine civilization.

Possessing the ultimate destiny of a level nine civilization, their average talent and potential are absolutely remarkable, coupled with the comprehensive facilities of this scientific research site.

If it can recover and grow smoothly, there is a very high probability that it can rebuild the former Suoyang Empire!

However, Ropkin obviously failed. The interference left by the Destruction continued to affect the growth of the embryo, so he handed it over to Qingyang, who represented the Alliance.

Two hours later.

Lilith, Belya, and the others already knew everything about the scientific research ruins.

They quickly transferred the civilization, technology, culture, and historical data of the Soyang Empire stored in the database to the fleet terminal, and took away dozens of cutting-edge devices and a large amount of rare resources.

Qingyang ordered an evacuation.

Of course, thousands of servers and central data terminals were also taken away!

In terms of comprehensive data capabilities, it's not much weaker than the data terminal in the Qingxue Star Cluster.

Of the other nine pyramid ruins, Qingyang left three to guard them, while the other six were taken away with him.

While it cannot be used in large-scale warfare, it is perfectly adequate as a defensive trump card for the main base, given the rules of the pyramid.

So Qingyang simply ordered a star ring passage and successively sent six defensive megastructures to the Evergreen Starfield.

The ruins... staying here is the safest option.

Without the consent of the destruction agreement, it would be extremely difficult for other beings to discover this place.

Chang Xi appeared beside Qing Yang and said with a smile, "Commander, the rare resources inside the ruins are so abundant that they are enough to keep the source data resource processing megastructure working at full capacity for several months."

"Oh?" Qingyang paused, made a quick assessment, and couldn't help but smile.

If that's the case, the size of the Eternal Fleet could at least double!

This includes the number of Mountain and Sea type battle stars!

"In addition, apart from the five polymers that were identified as high-dimensional energy sources, everything else is basically helpful to Lilith."

This includes all level nine mechanical technology, industrial production equipment, and so on. "Chang Xi continued to report.

Qingyang was not surprised: "The Destruction Agreement must know the condition of the ruins. Since it can be used as a reward, the danger is naturally not great."

Even the defensive pyramid has significant vulnerabilities; it's probably just a level used to test basic strength.

Regarding this exploration of the ruins, Qingyang believes that apart from the lack of excitement and mystery, it was quite good in other aspects.

"I hope that one day I will encounter a universe in the pioneering era, with chaotic rules and systems and rampant anomalies. Just thinking about it is exciting."

Qingyang was quite looking forward to it, and at the same time, he used his mind to control the fleet and left this special space.

Only the still-glowing ruins and a small star ring passage remain, leading directly to the Changqing Starfield.

In the control room, Gu Xing, who hadn't participated in the battle, asked with slight regret, "Where to next?"

Qingyang opened the star map and said in a serious tone, "According to the information, there is a pan-human civilization with a level seven advanced civilization in a certain large star cluster."

There are a total of three advanced level 7 civilizations and five early to intermediate level 7 civilizations. Similar ones are currently unknown, but it is speculated that they are all related to psionic energy.

This large star cluster is currently in the midst of a power struggle, which has lasted for tens of thousands of stellar years.

I speculate that, under the influence of prolonged warfare, the military strength of this star cluster civilization must be significantly greater than that of a civilization of the same level in a normal environment.

Normal civilizations need balanced development, while civilizations under hegemonic wars only need to focus on developing military technology and industry.

The other core crew members nodded in agreement.

Gu Xing picked up the thread: "In that case, should we have the Mechanical Legion produce surface mechanical combat troops?"

In the struggle for hegemony, planets and territories are the core objectives. Given the political and social nature of these cosmic civilizations, they certainly cannot simply destroy planets and carry out massacres.

Land warfare must have been extremely frequent.

Fleets fight fleets, and soldiers fight soldiers.

Qingyang thought for a moment and made a decision: "We do need individual army legions, and we need interstate wars and planetary wars."

What is the most cost-effective way to capture a megastructure or fortress-level war creation?

It's undoubtedly a war of attrition!

In a normal battle between civilizations of the same level, the defensive strength of each other's fortresses and the speed at which their shields regenerate are enough to leave the other feeling helpless.

The core crew members quickly outlined the general plans, but the specific framework would be filled in after they arrived at the target area and surveyed the situation.

Since it cannot travel in the original starry sky for extended periods, the Eternal needs to make frequent stops and starts to ensure that the shield's defense value remains within a safe range.

Two days later, they arrived at the target star cluster!

Above an ordinary star-sky continent, the Eternal suddenly appeared.

The Star Harmony and the two star ring passages then quickly unfolded.

At the same time, the moment the two giant devices were deployed, the local star network had already spread over a range of tens of thousands of light-years!

[Confirmation complete - No signals from civilized planets or military groups detected]

[No danger]

Qingyang relaxed slightly, and tens of thousands of starships were released one after another. The last of the Mountain and Sea Battle Stars emerged from the enormous spatial aperture!

Like a dazzling sun, it floats above the starry continent.

"The starry continent below is a rocky resource type, with no life environment or biological reactions, making it a good place to build a mechanical research cluster."

Lilith was quite satisfied with the star continent below, which stretched for millions of kilometers in diameter.

It is just the right size to house some scientific research and simulation equipment with a range of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers.

The massive star ring corridor quickly took shape, with the first to appear being thousands of detection and monitoring structures to assist Star Harmony in observing the entire star cluster.

A massive engineering fleet and a swarm of engineered nanobees followed closely behind, forming a stellar-sized cloud of nanoengineered bees that surged outwards.

In coordination with the continental engineering fleet, they disintegrated all celestial bodies except for the Star Continent in the blink of an eye!

They then began to build simple starports on the spot.

Meanwhile, in the central star region of the Qingxue Star Cluster, thousands of industrial megastructures, some hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers in size, around the black hole began to operate at full capacity.

Every moment, batches of mechanical warships, engineering starships, and all sorts of machinery appear and surge towards the area where Qingyang is located via the nearby star ring passage.

The huge commotion immediately attracted the attention of many civilizations in the Qingxue Starfield.

Watching the large number of warships appear and disappear quickly, these civilizations roughly guessed that the Eternal Fleet had encountered enemies or was preparing to invade in other star cluster regions.

My thoughts immediately took flight.

Developing other star clusters... I wonder if they'll be able to get a share of the profits too?

Everything was normal in the Evergreen Starfield. The industrial megastructures in the central starfield had been mostly replaced with various monitoring and scientific research megastructures, including many defensive and experimental megastructures.

Ensure the continued growth of the mechanical legion's covert combat capabilities.

The region closest to the central black hole consists of several data terminals, and a cluster of massive server structures surrounds the event horizon of the black hole, enhancing the data transmission intensity of these terminals.

Ultimately, the connection is established via the star ring channel.

The Alliance's star ring corridors can be used not only for navigation, but also as data transmission networks and node signal hubs, and the data transmission speed they enjoy is no different from that of warships!

Theoretically, as long as the star ring channels are dense enough, the communication devices of surface civilizations can communicate in real time even when separated by billions of light-years.

Even though Lilith is hundreds of stars away from Qingyang's star cluster, she can still control the mechanical legion in real time with the help of the star ring channel, without being weakened or interfered with in any way!

“Star Harmony is activated. The monitoring megastructure cluster is in good condition. Shall we begin the investigation?” Lilith asked Qingyang.

The latter nodded: "Start collecting macroscopic data on this star cluster, such as its size, distribution, and general situation."
