Chapter 466, Planet Mastermind
An extremely crude black ship sailed past the Eldar fleet. At this moment, the Eldar matron's uneasiness reached its peak.
Not long after, this black ship was captured by the Eldar, but they were unable to find anything useful on this black ship. It had an extremely crude structure and was loaded with a large number of crude automatic machines. What drives it is a beating brain.
The Eldar tried to communicate with the brain that controlled the ship's navigation, but there was no feedback, only a simple word that was repeated repeatedly.
"Arrived at planet 7Z123 for release, arrived at planet 7Z123 for release!"
The clearest sentence in this beating brain was this, which was puzzling. Later, more things were quickly found out. The Eldar engineers took a closer look at this simple battleship and the things on it. And a detailed teardown and assessment will be given soon, but a new head-scratching news has emerged.
The control sources on these automatic machines are still their own brains.
Even the Eldar have never mastered this kind of biotechnology, or in other words, they have never explored in this direction, but rather use biotechnology in building an ecosystem.
The biological technology of the rat people is very quiet. It can be said that they are the most active group in the universe. It comes from the gift of the Dragon of Life, from the curse and short lifespan left by a crazy rat man who has been spying on the realm of gods early on. .
The Eldar have no worries in this regard. They are born immortals. They have never lamented the short life. However, it is said that the enemy who has been at war with them for a long time is also a short-lived race, but they seem to have embarked on a path. A completely opposite path to the one the rat people chose now.
Such biotechnology must represent a powerful interstellar civilization. Such signs made the Elf Race matron feel something was wrong, as if a huge crocodile suddenly gave birth to a giant crocodile during a conversation at the door of the house. It was clearly five thousand years ago. They still made a preliminary inspection of the distribution of civilizations in the universe. At that time, there was absolutely no such interstellar civilization that mastered advanced biochemical technology.
But thankfully, except for the exaggerated biological mastermind, the other technologies and structures of this interstellar civilization's creation are not powerful, and are even a bit primitive.
This should be an extremely scientific civilization.
To a certain extent, this understanding is correct. The rat civilization is indeed an extremely scientific civilization, but what may be beyond his expectation is the degree of scientific bias of the rat civilization.
The pride from the Space Eldar prevented the matron from immediately releasing goodwill towards this strange civilization that was discovered. Of course, releasing goodwill would not change anything. The Skaven had the first attitude towards all civilizations that came into view. And behavior is always a war. Only an arduous war will make the rat people's attitude towards you change.
It's possible to force them to talk to you, but it's more about making them feel threatened and start smashing weapons of destruction at all costs.
Soon, a dismantling and research on the Skaven ships will begin.
What these Space Eldar didn't notice was that after the ship's mastermind, which they imprisoned and captured, was unable to connect to the ship's system for a long time, it began to exhibit some abnormalities and no longer cycled through the set process.
"Start to call the police, encounter the enemy, request support, I will resume the process, go to the 7Z123 planet to launch, the launch failed, start to call the police, encountered an abnormality!"
As these series of star systems rolled wildly in the mind of the ship master, a rift into the warp was opened, and these chaotic passages were able to spread into a strange network that ran through the Skaven Empire.
Yes, the master brains created by these Skaven engineers can actively open the subspace. This may be related to the fact that the structure and genes of these master brains refer to the brains and genes of a large number of Skaven psykers.
After these Space Eldar experienced a wonderful journey without getting lost in the subspace, they ignored a very important issue and did not check what kind of appearance the subspace currently exists. It's a very fatal thing.
But maybe they can't be blamed for this. After the cloud gods of the rat people struck hard at the many monsters and monsters in this subspace, the rat people empire entered an unprecedented peace and stability in this subspace area. .
In other words, the subspace at this time was peaceful and without any turbulence, and it was the safest and normal attitude. The subspace in such a state did not allow the subspace monitoring department of the Eldar fleet to detect any abnormalities at all.
After all, everything is so peaceful, everything is so normal.
It didn't take much time for the Eldar engineers to reach the final stage of dismantling the ship's main brain.
Cutting and dismantling, the ship's mastermind showed a rare hint of nervousness and uneasiness. Such emotional turmoil was noticed by the Eldar engineers, and then there was even more admiration.
This biochemical mastermind is more sophisticated than they thought, and the biotechnology of this unknown race is more powerful than they thought.
Such a brain that can only run a series of motions in a rigid manner can still be afraid!
With the completion of the last step, the brain was completely disassembled. At this moment, as its connection with the ship was disconnected, the indescribable psychic scream was heard by all the psychic engineers who were watching this scene. A cry of extreme fear and despair appeared in the brain. The biochemical master brain began to melt at this moment. In an instant, all the structures were shattered and disintegrated, and this exquisite brain turned into a pool of milky white. Fishy and smelly mucus.
Not only that, the genetic fragments in this pool of mucus were all broken at the same time.
This is a kind of insurance measure, which comes from spiritual suggestion and genetic clamping. In short, the rat people's biochemical technology will not be leaked out so easily. The rat people engineers are very sure about this.
While the Eldar engineers were still admiring this exquisite biochemical mastermind, the large army of rat people had already spontaneously rushed towards this star field.
All this is automated, and even this news has not had time to be delivered to the hands of the rat engineer who controls the corresponding star field.
Now, most things in the Skaven Empire have entered an absolute automation.
When the Immortality Project just started, the rat people established such a trend and direction. At the beginning, they wanted to avoid the invasion of the evil gods of subspace. The adoption and promotion of these fully automated biochemical machines can be an excellent way to avoid important resource production areas. Being spied upon by the Evil God of Warp.
Later, when the cloud gods were born and began to clean up the subspace, the reason for promoting these automatic machines changed. Those subspace evil gods were no longer a threat, but it is obviously impossible for the rat people to be addicted to the second world now. There are rat people who are willing to work as miners in the physical universe. The Skaven's automation is not only reflected in extraction and production, but even the war planet expansion is colonization. They will place a huge floating star port in each star field, and this star port will serve as a The production and deployment center of all biochemical machinery in this star field.
The super brain inside will coordinate a series of matters such as resource extraction, production, expansion, and war. For example, at this time, after receiving the threat information, a tentative small unmanned fleet came from this like a piece of steel. It took off from the planet-like wandering starport.
A murmur repeated in the subspace passage coordinates all of this.
"Probe, identify messages, assess threats, taste, try attacks!"
Countless such intermittent words simultaneously sounded and echoed in this wandering star port at this moment.
"Check access and make repairs."
"Mining, go mining quickly!
"Start operation, start production, start production!"
Such intermittent words all come from the same thing deep in the star port, a huge brain buried under a metal frame, a huge brain that is constantly squirming.
It is giving orders. It is the absolute terminal for the Skaven to maintain their rule in this star field. It is a terrifying mastermind of the planet and the highest achievement of Skaven biotechnology at present.
The intermittent words received countless responses, which were the responses of various devices, ships, and machines that were also equipped with biochemical brains to the master brain of this planet.
These things together create such a strange scene, which is difficult to evaluate, but the visiting Space Eldar will probably have to withstand the test of the mastermind of this planet.
The small fleet that set out was easily torn into pieces of garbage floating in space by this Eldar fleet.
This is not surprising. The Eldar themselves are experts in playing with psychic energy. At most, a small Skaven fleet equipped with some magical energy main guns and unmanned battleships can be the opponent of this large fleet. This is all Not surprising.
The Eldar still haven't found any member of the mysterious race who manufactured these biochemical machines in this small fleet.
Such a move has already stirred up a hornet's nest.
The planet's mastermind immediately started frantic mobilization after receiving the information passed back.
"Major threat targets, suspend all irrelevant actions, mobilize forces, mobilize forces, report the news, destroy them, destroy them!"
Intermittent information was transmitted in the terrifying psychic vibrations. This star port was as huge as a planet and was also the shell of the planet's mastermind. A general mobilization began.
Suspend the production of other unimportant things, and pour resources into the production of various ships and weapons, as well as living resources and various commodities. Yes, this huge planet mastermind, its job is not only to develop the planet, It extracts resources and launches wars. At the same time, it is also responsible for producing various resources and food that are lacking in this star field, undertaking transportation, and ensuring the supply of various materials to the rat-man planets.
Even the production of food and daily commodities has the same priority as war.
The rat people have also lived a life of opening their mouths to eat and stretching out their hands. These many categories, the distribution and command of the trillions of biochemical machines in the star field, and the U-turn, can almost only be completed within ten minutes, although this planet The mastermind really doesn't look very smart, and the information carried in the spiritual energy it spontaneously overflows is also stumbling and repetitive, but its efficiency is truly terrifying.
For a time, ten large rat-man fleets were mobilized, and more fleets entered the deployment and production sequence at the same time.
The most terrifying thing about the mastermind of this planet is that it is a super terminal that can really utilize and deploy all the resources and power in the area it controls in a war. It is a natural super weapon in all aspects.
A big melee broke out when the Eldar were caught off guard. There were a large number of simple black warships. These were so simple that they were just a beggar's warship with an engine, a shield generator, and a magic energy cannon. They only had these three things. , they almost instantly filled up the front, rear, left, and right sides of the Eldar battleship, all the nearby ranges, all areas, a dense mass of blackness, just like this, pressing down on it.
The Eldar were beaten into a panic, and many small frigates on the periphery of the fleet were ignited into fireballs.
There is no difference in configuration between the two sides. Although these unmanned warships are extremely crude, and most of them are not even equipped with radars, the level that normal warships can perform is not bad at all.
Those missing configurations do not exist, they are just divided. For example, psychic radars are not equipped on most simple battleships, but there is a full-time radar ship in each part of the space. These radar ships will Continuously send the detection results to all the surrounding simple warships.
Nothing is bad, but the complete configuration is divided into large parts and placed on many simple warships in the battleship group. This brings the cheapest cost and extremely tests the coordination ability of the fleet commander.
Of course, the planet's mastermind will not lack coordination ability, so naturally it will care more about and appreciate the cheapest cost.
In fact, every planetary mastermind created by the rat-man mechanics has its own tendency. Some planetary masterminds are more inclined to super battleships with enhanced firepower, and some are more interested in various mechanical fortresses. , and the planet mastermind stationed in this star field at this time is a micro-manipulation master.
This strange difference is a distinctive feature of biotechnology. Living things are always more flexible than metals.
Of course, the rat engineers have also investigated this situation, and the final result is that the risk is not high, and that is to let it go. As for the tendencies and preferences of these planetary masterminds.
They don't care at all, after all, in their view, these huge brains are just bigger tools.
