Chapter 441 Additional Target
Lu Bai left the meeting early.
He knew that Bai Quan would definitely tell him the follow-up arrangements later.
He also quickly gathered his team and sailed away with the two frigates.
This military strength is not much, it can even be said to be very little.
But it was enough for Lu Bai.
Under his command, the two spaceships set off from the empire's border and approached the defense line of the Machinery Clan while traveling in secret. They hid in a galaxy close to the Machinery Clan that neither the Empire nor the Machinery Clan could occupy.
The risk of going straight through the defenses was too great.
No one knows whether the patrol fleet equipped with high-power detection equipment by the mechanical tribe will suddenly pass by here at some point and discover their two frigates.
They are here to perform infiltration and sabotage missions.
If discovered, the mission will inevitably fail.
They also have no chance of winning the battle.
So Lu Bai still needs to wait for a suitable opportunity to pass through.
Two days later.
Under the planning and command of Baiquan.
The Empire began its first large-scale counterattack.
Starting from the Gallo Star Territory side of the empire, countless Neuron battleships launched a fearless attack in the direction of the Machine Tribe's defense line.
This is a joint operation of several star regions, with the most powerful fleet on Baiquan as the core.
Strive to break the mechanical clan's perfect defense line in this battle.
Lu Bai, who was hiding in the nearby star field, also took this opportunity to move and passed through the mechanical clan's defense line through the hidden channel he had found before.
Even in the middle of a war, it is very dangerous for two escort ships to directly enter the base area of the Machine Tribe.
However, Lu Bai was not unprepared. His electrical signal-controlled psychic energy could isolate all signals from his spacecraft and block almost all detection.
The signals from most of the detection equipment had been captured by his psychic energy before the two spacecraft that hit him returned to the spacecraft that released the detection signal. They would continue to move towards his ship as if nothing was detected. Spread over the other side.
There was no effective means to discover him.
Unless the reconnaissance spacecraft directly observes his two ships at the optical level.
Otherwise, the spacecraft driven by the team led by Lu Bai would be a ghost floating in the dark universe.
As for the feasibility of optical reconnaissance in space, for the two frigates, it can only be said to be a pure dream.
Lu Bai's two spaceships successfully arrived at the destination galaxy soon after.
There was originally a planet in this galaxy that had the highest degree of industrial development among all the galaxies in this star field.
Although the local army had already carried out large-scale destruction of the industrial colonies during the evacuation, it can be known from the thick smoke from the operation of industrial facilities all over the planet that can be seen from outside the planet.
This planet has now been repaired by the mechanical race.
Moreover, at some point, there was a giant shipyard suspended above the orbit of the target planet.
Judging from the signals coming from the dock, the giant statue of Lu Bai's goal was staying in the giant dock.
After confirming the location of the Colossus, Lu Bai's fleet immediately approached the giant shipyard.
However, they did not get too close, and only removed a single-person short-distance jump device near the nearby location.
Later, Lu Bai turned his target to the planet under the orbit and the industrial colonies on the planet.
In addition to being used to produce capital ships, and adding additional modules to produce Colossus-class ships, the giant shipyard can also be used to produce ordinary ships.
The core components of ships produced in industrial colonies are used to provide ships for use in giant shipyards.
The frigate quickly approached the planet.
This planet has no atmosphere, allowing Lu Bai's two frigates to enter the range of the planet without slowing down.
There were no traces of friction between the frigates and the atmosphere, and the planet's ground orbital defense system could not detect the two frigates protected by Lu Bai's psychic energy.
The space orbital defense system is still under construction.
All of Lu Bai's actions were carried out under the eyes of the mechanical clan, but no mechanical clan could detect him.
This kind of psychic energy combined with electronic equipment can almost achieve the same effect as a dimensionality reduction strike when facing existences of the mechanical race.
This is Lu Bai's confidence to do this and actually do it before.
The two frigates were not too close to the surface at this time. Although being close to the surface could avoid some detection signals, Lu Bai was not afraid of detection signals. Instead, he was worried that the visual sensors of the mechanical units would find his traces.
So he still kept the spacecraft at a certain altitude and continued to look for the remaining targets of his trip in the air.
That is, the main control facility of the colony, and the personality core that is most likely to be installed in it.
This industrial colony that originally belonged to humans had a similar master control system before.
If the machine race is for convenience, it is very likely that they will continue to use the damaged main control facility.
Lu Bai's primary investigation target is placed there.
So as he got closer to the location of the original master's control facility, Lu Bai could clearly feel that the density of the surrounding industrial facilities was increasing, while the number of mechanical units was decreasing.
This is a disguised proof of the increasing degree of industrial automation.
At the same time, it is also proof that the main control facility of the mechanical clan is also ahead.
"It should be around here."
"Everyone, confirm the equipment."
Everyone on the two spaceships except the pilots immediately adjusted the special wing suits they were wearing.
After the preparations were completed, the hatch of the frigate opened. Lu Bai took the lead in jumping out of the hatch, and all other team members also jumped out of the spacecraft with Lu Bai.
The moment everyone jumped out of the spacecraft, a thin layer of something that looked like a metallic liquid immediately poured out of the backpacks behind them.
Of course, this is not the influence of Chen Ming's spiritual energy. This is just a layer of the only rust-free nano-robot that Chen Ming once found from the cultural memorial hall of the shining civilization. It was researched after self-appreciation. Humanity's current technology A swarm of nanorobots that can be made.
The nanorobots covered the entire body of the team members who were out on missions, and quickly began to change their state, covering the team members, achieving an optically invisible effect.
They quickly landed among the factories and quickly assembled, targeting the towering colonial control hub not far away.
Lu Bai's spiritual energy was still entangled around him and his team members, and at the same time, some of his spiritual energy was released to investigate the surrounding environment.
The electrical signals of mechanical units are also within his range of perception.
This allows the team to penetrate into the most important places of the Machinery Clan without being discovered by the Machinery Clan's maintenance unit.
Lu Bai quickly planned a route directly to the main control hub in an area full of industrial buildings to complete the purpose of his trip.
As long as he is close to the main control hub at a certain distance, he can use psychic energy to forcibly destroy the control signals of the colony. Not only can it destroy the normal operation of the colony, but it can also cut off the means for the personality core to contact the outside world. There is even a certain chance that the personality core will be destroyed. Take it away too.
But while on the road, Lu Bai's eyes kept looking around, as if he could see everything inside the buildings through those industrial buildings.
Although the team members found it strange, they did not express any opinions on the captain's behavior.
The group of people arrived outside the main control hub extremely quietly at night local time.
And followed the maintenance channel specially set up by the mechanical clan for maintenance individuals and entered the hub.
After all, the machine race is something created by the humanoid species of Shining Civilization, and the things they create will leave behind something that is helpful to mankind to a certain extent. And soon after entering the hub.
A team member standing at the front of the team, holding a terminal, turned his head and whispered: "About three hundred meters ahead is the core of the main control hub, and we are almost there."
"Well, let's change the route first."
The team members immediately looked at each other. Although they felt strange, it was impossible not to obey the captain's order.
They continued along the maintenance tunnel inside the building, changing direction only slightly.
Arriving at an independent empty room in the main control hub.
There are no monitoring facilities in the room, and some are only connected by densely packed and innumerable lines.
The structure of this room is similar to the regional room in the core of the hub that Lu Bai's team was investigating.
But what is placed here is not the core of personality.
Instead, it is a blue spherical object.
"I know this."
Lu Bai walked up to several team members and said: "This is the remains of Yuhui's Alpha-level core..."
A team member next to him who also knew something about Yuhui asked: "Captain, isn't this core still functioning? How are you sure it is a wreck?"
"The electrical signal inside it has no irregular fluctuations. It is different from any afterglow core I have ever seen. It has no consciousness."
Lu Bai knew Yuhui and the mechanical clan very well.
So he can judge that this afterglow core only exists in the body, and the part of the body that performs calculations.
The reason why it exists here is just to replace some of the self-operations of the mechanical family.
"Do you remember that our headquarters chased Yu Hui away some time ago? They said he was taken away by the Machine Tribe?"
"Remember."
"It seems that the group of chased afterglow cores have all come here."
"Captain, do you know so much?"
"Afterglow is also an electronic life. It's normal for me to have such spiritual power and know more."
This is not normal.
The team member who just asked the question had this thought in his mind.
He knew very well that the captain had to have such a level of understanding of Yuhui because he had specially studied it.
Lu Bai did learn it.
Because he knew that his psychic powers were somewhat similar to Chen Ming's, after he awakened his psychic powers and made meritorious deeds, his promotion to an officer no longer required long periods of training in all aspects.
I specifically asked Baiquan Chen Ming about his development history.
Then, he imitated the path that Chen Ming had taken and learned a lot of related techniques and knowledge on his own based on the nature of his psychic powers.
And he also studied a lot of papers that Chen Ming had read, or simply written by Chen Ming.
Of course he knew clearly that electronic life like Yuhui was closely related to his spiritual energy.
That's why he kept looking around on the road.
Because this was the first time he saw the core of Afterglow installed in their building by the mechanical race.
It is precisely because of this that he came here to take a look at the situation before he was about to complete his goal.
The situation had been understood, and Lu Bai did not continue to stay in the room where the Afterglow Core was placed.
Except for leaving two team members behind, he led the rest of the team members back and approached the core of the main control hub again.
Still not in a hurry.
Lu Bai and his team members just squatted near the core area, looking for key nodes in the machine family's production line.
When a war breaks out on the front line, the arsenal in the rear must of course operate at least 100% efficiency.
This allows him to feel the operating logic of different lines very clearly.
and write it down.
Lu Bai's restraint on the mechanical tribe and Yuhui was very similar to Chen Ming's, but his long-range methods were even more extreme.
Chen Ming's psychic ability still requires contact after all, and his electrical signal control psychic ability is aimed at the machine race, just like his psychic ability that remotely controls human nerve signals is targeted at humans...
Although his psychic power cannot directly destroy the entire colony, his psychic power can disrupt the colony's production lines and cut off all production lines.
Let various materials that should not appear in certain production lines appear, and let some special materials cause damage to industrial buildings.
Lu Bai stayed near the core for nearly thirty hours.
The situation of almost all the production lines of the Machine Tribe's colonies all over the planet was clearly understood.
After successfully obtaining all the information, Lu Bai's team finally took action.
Lu Bai's psychic energy penetrated into all the lines with electrical signals around the core of his personality.
and detonated uniformly at a certain moment.
A lot of mistakes or signals of honor were crammed into it.
The entire colony, under the control of the personality core, instantly fell into chaos.
The sound of alarms of problems in industrial facilities and the sounds of some more problematic explosions spread along the building to the ears of Lu Bai and his party.
Without any hesitation, they aimed the tools they had prepared at the core of personality in countless lines.
After achieving the goal.
A dozen team members following Lu Bai immediately pulled the trigger on a device on their body.
Then they disappeared into the buildings on the surface and appeared in space where they had previously set up another short-distance jump device.
The two long-awaited frigates immediately picked up all the team members aboard the spacecraft.
There is chaos on the surface, and a large number of fleets are dispatched from the giant shipyard, while heading to the planet
Two frigates are approaching the giant shipyard from the opposite end of the planet from the giant shipyard.
Ten minutes passed.
The bright firelight from the giant dock.
Lu Bai's two frigates were wrapped in a wave of psychic energy and disappeared into the galaxy.
Lu Bai's team took away the core of the machine race's personality, collapsed their important industrial colonies, and destroyed the colossus staying in the giant shipyard.
It even caused serious and irreparable damage to the giant shipyard.
And, took away the afterglow core that Lu Bai had discovered previously.
This is also a very important piece of evidence that allows people to know the whereabouts of the afterglow cores that were taken away in large numbers by the mechanical tribe.
This afterglow core circled around the empire for two days.
Finally, it fell into the glorious hands of Chen Ming's galaxy.
