Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

[Local StarNet Range - Target Swarm Shadow Cannot Be Effective]

The swarm of shadows, attempting to invade, tried several more times, but finding themselves unable to advance, they then surged rapidly to both sides of the local star network region.

At the same time, an endless swarm of insectoid warships, each at least tens of thousands of meters long, emerged, surging towards the star-sea alliance like a galactic tide.

The surface of the massive, powerful biological warship shimmered with lush void patterns, and most of its body structure exuded an ethereal quality befitting a higher-dimensional being.

Of course, it doesn't mean that one's realm has reached a higher level of life, but rather that the structure that constitutes the body involves higher-dimensional biotechnology.

Make it strong enough to withstand the load caused by 100% high-dimensional killing.

Without the slightest pause, a dense torrent of light spears surged forth, tearing through shallow space and traversing tens of thousands of light-years in an instant, crashing into the swarm of insects.

Countless high-dimensional bursts and storm currents spread, directly engulfing a large number of insectoid warships.

Qingyang observed the range and intensity of the shadow outside, his expression serious: "A swarm unit comparable to the military power of an eighth-level elementary civilization."

An eighth-level primitive civilization could be wiped out in a short time if the five of them worked together at full strength, but they would probably be noticed by most of the civilizations in this universe.

It wasn't just Qingyang and the others who were in trouble. At the center of the vast shadow spanning tens of thousands of light-years, there was a spherical creature the size of a star, which looked like a black amethyst and expanded like a heart.

Its mental strength alone is comparable to that of a seven-star high-dimensional brain worm, and it is constantly connected to the swarm's units through a terrifying mental network.

The will spread throughout the vast insectoid swarm's network of wills, quickly discerning the aura emanating from the five Qingyang individuals and their massive, dazzling fleet.

A ripple of unease stirred within him, a hint of panic even creeping in.

'As expected, the aura of the Star Sea Human Alliance and its star fleet.'

Not long ago, a cerebrate that was hiding somewhere in this great nebula, developing its swarm and preparing to devour this still primitive nebula to become a giant swarm, sensed a familiar aura.

They hadn't yet realized there was an error. After all, the desolate area had no sense of direction and no idea how many universes existed there. How could they possibly have bumped into the Alliance exploration fleet by sheer coincidence?

I never expected it to actually be an alliance!

As a veteran brain worm, although it spends most of its time in the desolate universes, it has also participated in several large-scale battles in the mother universe.

Among them were terrifying empires of time and even divine forces of the highest dimensions, which left an indelible impression on it only once.

That is to fight against the Alliance Star Fleet.

There are only a few tens of thousands of star fleets, and most of them have less than a million ships.

Compared to the insect swarms that participated in the war, its size was probably less than one millionth of theirs, yet the final result was that the insect swarms suffered heavy losses!

The three giant insect swarms that fought together were basically crushed, and the dominant insect swarm that led them even lost its cerebrates in that battle.

The war shadow and the Zerg Void Network that the Zerg Swarm was so proud of had no effect whatsoever, and were suppressed by countless special domains from the very beginning!

That was the only time since its birth that it had witnessed the swarm being crushed. Even when facing the Empire of Time and the even more terrifying Supreme Dimension, the swarm was only at a disadvantage.

There has never been a situation where it was difficult to even fight back.

'The Star Fleet has appeared; the Star Sea Human Alliance has taken notice...'

The cerebrate quickly sent this message into the Void Network, trying to alert other cerebrates to the Alliance.

Lilith, who was watching the battle, suddenly noticed a high-dimensional data stream passing by from tens of thousands of light-years away. Without hesitation, she intercepted and analyzed it.

"Brain worm?"

Lilith passed it on to Qingyang with a puzzled look.

Qingyang's eyes lit up at this sight. The mother data had been intercepted by Lilith, and the other brain worms were temporarily unaware of their arrival.

Although it will be found out sooner or later, we can delay it as long as possible. In the face of the swarming insectoid universe, we need to let the Lilith mechanical legion develop first.

The mechanical legion, comparable to a mid-to-high level civilization of level eight, can significantly reduce the pressure on the five fleets during their exploration.

"Lilith, can you simulate the high-dimensional data information of the swarm and send messages?" Qingyang asked.

Lilith's projection said confidently, "No problem. The swarm's will network cannot be hacked, but hacking this kind of void network that transmits information between swarms is not difficult."

......

The cerebrate, which was directing a swarm of insects to delay the star fleet, received the information and, without suspicion, quickly scanned it with its mental energy.

'The alliance is powerful; halt operations for now and continue developing. We will dispatch a giant swarm of insects.'

The Zerg swarm can be considered a civilization, but only the cerebrates and a few rare special Zerg units can be called civilized individuals, although they are absolutely loyal to the Overmind.

However, there is no collective will among the brain worms, or rather, no complete connection between them, so their communication patterns are no different from those of other intelligent beings.

Without much doubt, relying on its trust in the Void Network, the Brain Worm immediately controlled the swarm to plunge into the higher-dimensional shadow.

They then withdrew from the battlefield at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Watching the shadows quickly disappear without a trace of suspicion, Qingyang and the others exchanged glances.

The insect swarms from other universes seem to be much less cunning than those from the greater universe.

Is everything going too smoothly?

Resuming updates. I recently failed a course and had my first draft of the paper rejected; I have a lot of worries.

I failed a course, and my first draft of my paper was rejected due to high plagiarism. I've been busy with these two things lately.

I should update once tomorrow, but I need to go to school during the day. I'll resume updating twice a day the day after tomorrow.

Ugh, I urge college students: the consequences of failing a course are truly awful. Just try to get by.

Chapter 289 The Direct Arrival of the Star Fleet

Compared to the retreating swarm of insects, Qingyang and the others were more concerned about the distribution of power within this great nebula, as this was related to whether the next operation could proceed smoothly.

Since this universe possesses a powerful, pan-human civilization capable of transmitting information even in desolate areas, the probability of other human civilizations naturally evolving out of it, according to the development pattern of the universe, is not low.

After all, the fact that a race can become an advanced civilization proves that its potential is definitely not weak. In order to expand and become stronger, the universe will naturally evolve more similar races and civilizations, and the same will happen in the greater universe.

However, the Alliance is too powerful. The concept of pan-humanity is unified under the Alliance. Basically, as long as a human race steps into interstellar civilization, the Alliance can quickly detect it and send people to assist in its development.

When the time is right, they will be incorporated into the alliance faction.

In short, in order to improve the quality of cosmic civilization.

In the universe, civilizations of level nine or higher exist in every large celestial region, and it is highly likely that there are also similar civilizations. Therefore, the large nebula where Qingyang is currently located also has a pan-human civilization.

They just don't know how strong or weak they are.

Thinking of this, Qingyang's thoughts drifted.

With a diameter of hundreds of billions of light-years, even though this giant nebula is in its primordial stage and the starry sky has not been fully explored, the number of interstellar civilizations is still as vast as the stars in the deep cosmos.

God knows where the pan-human civilization is in this nebula.

Even if a race template is an advanced civilization, the universe will not give it preferential treatment. Therefore, the probability of pan-humans appearing among these level 8 civilizations is extremely low.

Watching the rapidly loading bar of the alien universe's law adaptation speed, Qingyang pondered for a moment, then dispatched hundreds of immortal dreadnoughts to quickly fly out in different directions through the starry sky.

Before fully recovering his combat strength, Qingyang does not plan to set off for the time being, but instead intends to first investigate the situation within the great nebula.

The T5 fleet is merely the entry-level stage of the formal phase of the Starfleet.

A normal gold-level T5 fleet can only contend with a main force of a level 8 early civilization.

Even the five strong Qingyang people.

The limit is to contend with the army of a mid-level eighth-grade psionic technology civilization. If it were any stronger, it would probably be beyond its capabilities. According to the general information provided by the explorers, there are already several advanced eighth-grade civilizations in this nebula.

There may even be medium-level psionic technology or faith civilizations with military strength comparable to an eighth-level advanced civilization.

In short, we cannot be careless.

The star cluster universe taught Qingyang that one must never act rashly when facing uncertainties.

......

Time flies.

The five-star sea sun of the StarNet timer flew by, and the Eternal Fleet, which had long been restless, fully recovered its due combat power, and 80% of the blueprints and technologies in the ship's database were also adapted.

With just a few adjustments from Lilith, a terrifying mechanical legion could be born in this universe.

Having confirmed that adaptation was complete, Qingyang looked towards the base star, which was already taking shape, surrounded by dozens of giant structures, with the Taihu Data Terminal at the star's center, tens of millions of kilometers in diameter, slowly rotating.

In the shallow region of the star, two large star ring tunnels have already taken shape.

"Regarding the giant corporation-like civilization in the star system, we already have a target. The dreadnought that arrived at that giant corporation civilization invaded through the shallow star network, and it has been basically confirmed that this great nebula has a pan-human race."

Qingyang activated his terrifying mental threshold, quickly summarizing and organizing the detailed intelligence gathered by hundreds of dreadnoughts, and then spoke.

Everyone's eyes lit up, but when they scanned the information shared by Qingyang in detail, their expressions became serious.

"A large, unknown cosmic biosphere has been detected, with an extremely high average mass, and it is approaching the Starra cosmic community."

Starar is the name given to this large nebula after discussions among more than twenty level-eight civilizations. As for the Starar Star Community, it is undoubtedly an organization for joint deliberation among many mid- to high-level civilizations.

Currently, the starry sky is rich in resources, and many starry sky areas are still undeveloped and primitive areas.

The competition and tension weren't that intense.

In addition, those Level 8 civilizations seem to know a lot about this universe and clearly intend to reduce conflicts and increase the number of interstellar civilizations, thus promoting the formation of this interstellar community.

No one was surprised by these things; what truly made them solemn was this warning report.

A vast quantity of biological resources with considerable average strength and quality...

Qingyang was absolutely certain that he was describing a swarm of insects.

"Trouble. The swarm has stopped developing and started expanding instead," Qingyang said helplessly.

The commander of the Guiyi Legion's special fleet, named Cage, immediately said, "The swarm feels the pressure from our arrival and is preparing to grow rapidly through war."

Although it is only a quasi-giant swarm and does not have the strength to fight against more than twenty level eight civilizations at the same time, as long as it does not put too much pressure on these civilizations at once, the swarm will at most face the war pressure of two or three level eight civilizations at a time.

Compared to natural resource consumption, the high-dimensional energy possessed by level seven or eight civilizations' warships and planets is more efficient, and coupled with the fact that such a large swarm of insects already has the ability to devour the fortune of a civilization.

If this swarm of insects is allowed to run rampant, it could devour just two or three level-eight civilizations, and then it would be impossible to stop it.

Upon hearing this, Qingyang seemed to be deep in thought.

"Then let's head to the Stara Nebula civilization cluster first and try to get them on their guard."

According to the standards of the Starra Community, we believe Starra would very much welcome our arrival.
