Chapter 430 Colossus
Chen Ming continued to follow the jump traces to the next galaxy.
Judging from the star map, the destination of the mechanical clan's Colossus jump is close to the border of the edge star field.
It seems that the next move of the mechanical tribe is likely to continue the invasion, relying on the message lag caused by their destruction of the super-light communication base station, to capture multiple star fields in one go.
Relying on their colossus-level neutron killing, human control over these star fields can be eliminated in an instant.
Fortunately, Chen Ming has sent the minister back, and the problem of delayed news has been solved.
Moreover, judging from the subsequent messages he received.
The star field in the direction of the Machinery Clan's invasion had actually already learned the general situation when the Machinery Clan invaded.
After all, they are two adjacent star regions and have a cooperative relationship with each other. It is very common to learn about emergencies.
They did report it as soon as possible, but it took time to confirm whether the actual situation was as reported. The superior management department they reported to chose to confirm it in person in order not to take responsibility, which resulted in the news not reaching the right place at the first time. in human hands.
Chen Ming guessed that some people would lose their hats and even their brains, but that was none of his business.
He was more concerned about local conditions.
At present, it seems that the local star field has begun to organize local armed forces.
Although they were unable to reinforce the enemy before they were completely wiped out by the mechanical tribe next door, they had at least concentrated their military power and could at least carry out a certain scale of resistance.
It's just that Chen Ming is not optimistic about their resistance.
Because the standard military strength of the edge star field is one capital ship plus about 3,000 cruiser-level combat strengths, tens of thousands of expulsors and more escorts.
The mechanical race has already dispatched a capital ship just to clean up a galaxy.
Only when the number of capital ships is similar can the lower-level fleets have room to perform.
Therefore, the overall military strength of the mechanical tribe is absolutely crushing to the edge star field.
He had to be faster.
The super body has already achieved the goal of heading to the next galaxy at the fastest speed.
When Chen Ming arrived at the edge of the destination galaxy, he saw a large number of mechanical fleets stopping here from a distance.
The situation of this galaxy is also quite special.
There is an industrial colony and a colony that distributes materials and trades with the neighboring star field. It can be regarded as the most developed colony in the edge star field besides the capital of the star field.
The mechanical tribe is temporarily stationed here.
It seems that they are waiting for the fleets that deal with other star systems in the edge star field to arrive before invading the next star field.
Or, maybe they plan to keep their troops here for a long time, using the edge star field they just destroyed as a foothold for their invasion of the empire, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up fleet.
No matter which one it is, this galaxy should contain almost all the living forces in the first wave of attacks by the mechanical race.
And the giant statue of the mechanical clan that Chen Ming longed for.
Chen Ming could see that the Colossus was parked in the orbit of the industrial planet in the galaxy, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed to shock everything.
The design of the mechanical race's colossus is very obviously different from that of the empire's colossus.
Their colossus has three giant ring-shaped structures of different sizes interlaced layer by layer.
The inner ring structure seems to be able to restrain the ship's core to dissipate energy, while the outer ring structure seems to be able to maintain the stability of the Colossus when using weapons.
At one end of the central central structure was a giant gun barrel-like structure large enough to accommodate several battleships.
That's neutron annihilation.
Having found the target, Chen Ming did not intend to delay, and the super body immediately prepared to rush towards the Colossus.
The most troublesome thing about the first wave of machine invasion was the Colossus.
Whether it is using space cutting or air mine explosion, or even Chen Ming personally controls it.
As long as it is dealt with, the remaining mechanical fleet will sooner or later be destroyed by the empire's subsequent fleets.
However, Chen Ming's super body has just approached and has not yet entered the sensing range of the mechanical race's spacecraft. It should not even have time for the mechanical race's electronic nerves to react.
The mechanical fleet suddenly started to move.
Of course this was not caused by Chen Ming.
What caused the mechanical race to move was a fleet that had just arrived in the galaxy.
Not an imperial fleet, but a... Zerg fleet with an extremely obvious biological texture.
The super body immediately drew an arc around the galaxy, and again maintained a good distance to view the situation within the galaxy.
Chen Ming's mind was filled with questions at this time.
Although he was indeed arranging the Zerg fleet, preparing to send a big one to the Machine Clan to fight back their first wave of invasion in the most brutal way, he did not give the Insect Queen an order to come immediately.
And he didn't feel any spiritual connection between the Zerg fleet and him.
Besides, the scale of this Zerg fleet is not too large. It mainly consists of only twenty-two biological warships that look like battleships and a large number of middle and lower-class ships.
It can’t be that the Zerg race, which the shining civilization used as weapons to fight against the Machine Race in ancient times, came over with the Machine Race, right?
It is possible that somewhere in the universe, the mechanical race and the Zerg that remained after the destruction of the Shining Civilization have been fighting to death for tens of thousands of years, and these Zerg have survived the war to this day.
However, the weapons carried by these biological ships also seem to be very backward. Fighting with the mechanical race to the death would last for decades, not to mention tens of thousands of years. If the weapons did not evolve, they would have been dead long ago.
So it shouldn't be what Chen Ming thought.
etc.
Chen Ming suddenly remembered something again, something ancient but not that ancient.
That's what happened to the first-generation insect queen on the mining space station.
The first-generation insect queen has the ability to transform mechanical battleships into biological battleships, which is also the basis for Chen Ming to master the abilities of the Zerg.
At first, he had discovered the traces left by the Queen several times and wanted to go and look for them, but in the end the first generation Queen disappeared into the universe, leaving only a second generation Queen who has been with him to this day.
Of course, Chen Ming did not have the same relationship with the first-generation insect queen as he did with the second-generation insect queen.
He wanted to find the first generation of insect queen simply because he wanted his insect queen to eat the first generation of insect queen, and maybe he could find some powerful creatures in the genes that had become extinct in the past.
But based on what Chen Ming saw at this moment, the first-generation insect queen didn't seem to have any powerful genes.
Of course it is possible, but Chen Ming's psychic assistance is not present.
No matter what the situation is.
In short, the fleet of the first-generation insect queen appeared here, and it seemed that they were going to have a fight with the mechanical race.
Of course Chen Ming would not interfere, and even wanted to see the quality of a worm queen.
Logically speaking, even if a generation of insect queens returns to a level similar to that created by the Shining Civilization, it will be extremely difficult to continue the war with today's mechanical race.
Although what is here may not necessarily be the entire fleet of the first-generation insect queen, the result should not change much.
soon.
Just as Chen Ming thought, the moment the Zerg fleet of the first-generation insect queen appeared, the mechanical race had already reacted and turned around to launch an attack in the direction of the Zerg fleet.
The biological carapace and Zerg muscles of the Zerg fleet were easily shattered by the mechanical weapons, and the weapons they used could not even penetrate the shield of the mechanical fleet.
Even though the Zerg have an advantage in the number of battleships compared to the machine race, the strength of their battleships can only be said to be weaker than the mass-produced battleships designed by imperial commercial companies such as the Conqueror.
The fleet of the first-generation insect queen was crushed like insects, leaving no room for struggle. The entire fleet just became a ball of dregs in the universe.
Chen Ming's ten minutes were wasted.
And the first-generation insect queen who was hiding somewhere did not seem to send a fleet to die again, and the galaxy suddenly returned to calm.
While the mechanical fleet is collecting the corpses of the Zerg fleet, it looks like they are going to take their corpses to biogenerate electricity on the planet where they are stationed
Chen Ming knew that this should be regarded as an opportunity.
The first-generation insect queen used its fleet to lure away part of the mechanical fleet next to the Colossus, which would obviously make it easier for Chen Ming to move.
As long as he is given the opportunity to get close to the Colossus, there will be only one outcome for the Colossus.
The super body turned into a red and white stream of light in the universe, traveling rapidly towards the Colossus.
At that moment, Chen Ming was only less than three seconds away from the Colossus at superhuman speed in the normal passage of time.
A pure white shadow rose into the sky from the surface of the planet occupied by the mechanical race and rushed towards Chen Ming's super body.
From a perspective without time acceleration, it is a blurry image.
Chen Ming, who was on the super body activated by the time flow core, could see very clearly that it was another super body of the mechanical race.
The structure of the ship is different from the super body he is riding on.
That was a real super body, not his experimental super body.
Chen Ming's heart sank.
The current situation is quite expected.
Since the first wave of experiments by the Machine Tribe used trial-type super bodies, the full version of the super bodies will inevitably follow.
It's just that Chen Ming didn't expect it to come so soon.
He immediately changed the trajectory of his super body, wanting to bypass the mechanical super body and go straight to the Colossus.
To defend such a big goal as the Colossus in space is not something that can be accomplished with just one superbody.
Especially when the object it wants to intercept has the same speed as him.
Chen Ming's changed route opened up a winding red and white trajectory near the super body.
The mechanical super-body that was chasing Chen Ming seemed completely unaffected by his actions that changed its trajectory.
In just the blink of an eye, the mechanical super body kept up with his super body's movements and once again intercepted him and the Colossus.
And this mechanical super body is still rushing towards Chen Ming, as if it is going to die with Chen Ming's super body.
Chen Ming couldn't help but frown.
Because he found that this super ship seemed a little too scary, almost outrageous to the extreme.
Although his prototype super body is a prototype, the time flow core installed inside it can only accelerate by a factor of 1,200.
But under the influence of his psychic effects, this acceleration limit can reach more than 6,300 times.
Although in order to ensure the combat effectiveness, it is necessary to reduce the time flow core effect by about one-third to avoid overload damage during battle, resulting in a small acceleration effect.
But even so, there is still an acceleration of more than 4,000 times.
And this official version of the super body kept up with the speed of Chen Ming's super body when he used psychic overload.
This means that the acceleration effect of the official super body has completely crushed the trial model.
And at the moment when this official version of the super body discovered Chen Ming's super body.
All the mechanical races in the entire galaxy entered a state of full alert in an instant.
The entire Zerg fleet that had just faced a generation of insect queens was dealt with by a few mechanical warships.
But when facing Chen Ming, all the mechanical race warships in the entire galaxy noticed Chen Ming's existence under the warning of the new super body of the mechanical race.
Chen Ming subconsciously looked around the galaxy, and finally locked on the new super body.
Only it is the real enemy.
Chen Ming ignored the fleets on the surrounding battlefields.
They are no match for super bodies, and they cannot even cause any effective interference.
But the new supership is completely different.
Chen Ming didn't want to fight him. His goal was always the Colossus.
Only Colossus is the most efficient way to destroy the indigenous people on the planet.
Even a super body cannot match the efficiency of the Colossus when doing this.
Therefore, Chen Ming has been constantly trying to go around the Colossus, hoping to bypass the new super body and hit the Colossus directly.
But this new super body seemed to be able to predict all his operations and constantly blocked his actions.
Gradually, Chen Ming also realized that the new super body not only had a stronger time flow core than his super body's time flow core, but the performance of the ship itself was also stronger than that of his super body.
Chen Ming tried to control the new super body several times in the middle, but the new super body evaded them all, and almost gave Chen Ming's super body a fatal blow.
Moreover, these fatal attacks of the new super body are all coming with the idea of dying together.
Under the premise that the performance of the super-body ship is not as good as the new super-body, and both can split after being destroyed.
Chen Ming could not accept the result of dying together.
Although he can accept the loss of a super body, as long as he can replace the Colossus with a super body, it will not be a loss. In the worst case, he will repair it later.
But he couldn't accept dying with the new super body.
Because if the overall combat effectiveness remains unchanged after the split, it will only be more difficult for his super body to find opportunities.
Moreover, there is a mechanical fleet surrounding them.
Although they couldn't stop Chen Ming's super body, they still had the ability to block the left and right planes and the four sub-machines after the super body was split.
Even worse, they can also use the hull to restrict the movement of the super-body in disguise.
Moreover, at this time, there are new mechanical fleets in the galaxy that are jumping over and are constantly blocking the area near the Colossus.
The mechanical fleet seems to have prepared at least twenty capital ships in total.
A capital ship in each galaxy is indeed an extremely luxurious ship configuration compared to the empire.
For the fleet under the cover of the new super body, this number is enough to create an advantage for the new super body in the overall battle situation.
Chen Ming couldn't find a way to get close to the colossus.
Instead, it is constantly being avoided by new super bodies from the inner circle of the galaxy, and the distance from the Colossus is getting farther and farther.
The chances are getting smaller and smaller.
Chen Ming finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Even if the super body can't defeat the new super body, can he still be unable to defeat the machine race's fleet?
