With a clicking sound, dozens of wire harnesses connected to the body were cut off and popped out.
All the experts in the laboratory, as well as the chief medical officer on the Kaitian, are now concentrated on a virtual panel.
What is shown in it is a certain chip that has just been removed from the mechanical master brain...ah, it is the physical condition of an individual of a certain race.
It was not until a few minutes later that there was no obvious change in vital signs that everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, good news also came from the expert group.
After separating one of the individuals, the master brain immediately adjusted its own structure, and the entire master brain was not paralyzed because of a problem with one of the individuals.
The start was undoubtedly smooth.
The next step is to take out the individual's brain and read the information through technical means.
------
"How about it? Is there still no response from the mechanical civilization?"
"Yes, Commander, our warning range has extended outward for five hundred light years. Not to mention the mechanical planet, not even an Annihilator has been discovered."
In the bridge, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but frowned when he heard Ling Xiao's report.
All told, it has been ten days.
However, the mechanical civilization did not respond at all. It seemed that all combat forces approaching the pioneering fleet were withdrawn.
This is obviously very abnormal.
So, what is the purpose?
"Commander, Chief Scientific Officer Ouyang Qing requested a call."
"Take it over!"
Just when Jiang Xingchen was thinking about what mechanical civilization was planning.
Communications Officer Bai Zhi's report brought him back to reality.
A moment later, Ouyang Qing's figure appeared on the bridge through virtual projection.
"Ouyang Qing, I remember you said that it would take at least three months to extract the information of all individuals. Is there something wrong?"
"No, Commander, the information extraction work is going very smoothly. The number of individuals that have been extracted so far has reached 800."
"Although these 800 points of memory storage cannot piece together all the information, some of the information can be interpreted. I think it is necessary to report it to you, Commander."
"What did you interpret?"
Jiang Xingchen asked curiously.
Since a week ago, the first unknown race individual was separated from the master brain and the memory retrieval was completed.
Jiang Xingchen received the corresponding report. But unfortunately, the information of mechanical civilization is jointly stored by all individuals in the entire master brain.
In other words, any piece of information may be stored by hundreds or even thousands of individuals, each of whom stores part of it.
In this way, if you want to obtain all the information, you must extract all the information of all individuals and then interpret it.
Of course, if you are lucky, after extracting some individual information, it is possible to decipher certain contents first.
Obviously, this is the situation with Ouyang Qing.
And the content of the interpretation is probably quite important, otherwise there would be no rush to report to Jiang Xingchen.
"Commander, we have not been able to decipher any detailed intelligence at present, only some fragments of information, just like a few sentences in an article."
"Specific content?"
"Full speed production of the hyperspace engine, assembly of all Marauders, and trial production of an autonomous war weapon called the Punisher."
That's right, Ouyang Qing was not able to decipher a complete piece of information. It was more like deciphering part of the keywords, or a partial table of contents or index of a book.
However, these title-like contents are extremely important information to Jiang Xingchen.
Yes...
Now that they know the previous battles, the mechanical civilization can understand that their single attack mode and their jump technology that can be restricted at any time make it difficult to defeat the pioneering fleet.
Even with sufficient numbers, the pioneering fleet can take advantage of hyperspace technology to wage a war of mobile annihilation throughout the galaxy, eventually slowly consuming the entire mechanical civilization.
And it’s not that mechanical civilization doesn’t have hyperspace engines, they do!
According to the analysis of the staff, it should be that some lost transport ships of the Scorpion Pirate Group were previously obtained and the hyperspace engine was successfully reproduced.
However, the current production is not much.
Otherwise, they would not have sent just one fleet to cause trouble in the Sid system.
Therefore, this is after planning to massively expand the production of hyperspace engines and completely replace them...
Fight with us again?
As for what the Punisher is, Jiang Xingchen doesn't have the slightest clue yet.
But no matter what, the pioneering fleet cannot continue to remain indifferent.
Otherwise, once the mechanical civilization is completely changed in advance, the pioneering fleet will have absolutely no chance of winning.
After all, even the Federation has no means to hinder or interfere with hyperspace technology.
At that time, people can directly use hyperspace navigation to get within its own range, or simply rush directly into the federal fleet array.
"Ling Xiao!"
"commander?"
"Immediately arrange all the Pixiu-class strategic reconnaissance ships in the fleet to spread throughout the Balt galaxy to find the location of the mechanical civilization."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
After Ling Xiao left, Jiang Xingchen's fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrests of the command chair.
It’s not difficult to find the location of mechanical civilization!
It doesn't even take a few days.
After all, the entire mechanical civilization is concentrated together, and with the capabilities of the Pixiu-class strategic reconnaissance ship, it can be easily discovered from a hundred light years away.
In addition, the Balt Galaxy is not a large galaxy, only 5,000 light-years in diameter.
The key is...
What to do after you find it?
Although if discovered in advance, the worst situation of hyperspace transformation of the entire mechanical civilization can be avoided.
However, it is inevitable that some of them are already equipped with hyperspace engines.
Even if this part is not very large, it is enough to pose a huge threat to the pioneering fleet.
This battle...
It's still very dangerous.
------
Three days later.
Among the dozens of Pixiu-class strategic reconnaissance ships dispatched, one sent back the news.
The location of mechanical civilization...
Confirmed!
It also reports on the scale of mechanical civilization.
There are a full 275 mechanical planets.
What is this concept?
Calculated based on the fact that each mechanical planet carries 1,000 Slayer warships, this is 275,000 ships.
Calculated based on the fact that each Slayer warship carries 1,000 Annihilator war weapons, that is...
275 million Annihilators!
This quantity...
Even if the pioneering fleet can achieve a super high battle loss ratio as before.
That doesn't work either.
What's more, the opponent most likely already has some troops equipped with hyperspace engines.
This battle...
It's not easy to fight.
But who said that this is the only way to fight war?
