Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

A massive ”meat shield,” composed of countless corpses and debris, stood between the human fleet and the enemy’s main force!

Although this meat shield was ugly and disgusting, it was exceptionally thick!

The second round of Star Destroyer Cannon bombardment only created scorched marks on it, unable to penetrate further!

”Regeneration?!”

Su Qingying covered her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief, ”They can actually regenerate in real-time using corpses? What level of biotechnology is this?!”

”This isn’t just regeneration.”

Lu Chen said coldly, ”This is devouring.”

”They are devouring the corpses of their companions, evolving resistance to our energy weapons.”

”Look!”

Following Lu Chen’s finger.

Behind that massive meat shield, countless dark red lights suddenly lit up!

”The counterattack is here!”

”All ships evade! Activate dimension shields!”

War Wolf’s roar had just fallen.

Overwhelming dark red beams of light, like a torrential rain, fiercely struck the human fleet formation!

”Buzz—!!!”

This time, it was humanity’s turn to suffer.

Those dark red beams were not ordinary energy attacks; they possessed extremely strong corrosiveness and adhesiveness!

Once they adhered to a warship’s shield, they were like strong acid splashed on glass, emitting a grating ”sizzle” sound, and the shield’s energy readings began to drop wildly!

”Warning! Frigate No. 3 shield overloaded!”

”Warning! Destroyer No. 7 port armor damaged!”

”Warning! Enemy landing pods detected, attempting to break through the firepower net!”

The battlefield instantly fell into a stalemate!

This was a truly tough battle!

The enemies were no longer just passive targets; they had tactics, coordination, and, even more despairingly, incredible recovery capabilities and numerical superiority!

”Damn it! These beasts have thick hides!”

War Wolf, piloting his exclusive mecha, Xingtian, charged left and right through the enemy formation.

His high-frequency particle blade had just severed a tentacle of an ”octopus” warship, and the next second, the severed tentacle transformed into an independent venomous snake, fiercely biting into his mecha’s leg!

”Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—”

The alarm blared loudly!

The mecha’s external armor was actually corroded into a large dent!

”Damn!”

War Wolf cursed, then blasted the tentacle to pieces with a retaliatory shot.

But as he looked around, he was surrounded by dense enemies.

They were like a horde of tireless, pain-ignoring zombies, rushing forward one after another, even if they had to bite with their teeth or ram with their bodies, they would leave a mark on the human warships!

This was the terror of the swarm!

They used sheer numbers to forcibly bridge the technological gap!

”Commander Lu! This won’t do!”

War Wolf shouted in the comms channel, his voice tinged with urgency, ”Our energy consumption is too fast! And these things are getting more and more numerous; they’re simply endless!”

On the bridge.

Lu Chen quietly watched it all.

His gaze never left the center of the battlefield.

He was observing.

He was searching.

Searching for the brain that commanded this colossal swarm.

”heavenly craft, have you found it?”

[Analyzing data flow direction] Countless data streams frantically scrolled across heavenly craft’s virtual image [Enemy communication uses quantum entanglement encryption, extremely difficult to crack]

[Wait!]

heavenly craft’s voice suddenly paused.

[Found it!]

[All bio-warship command directives converge to a single point in the rear!]

[Coordinates: X772Y339, Z104!]

”Good!”

Lu Chen’s eyes blazed with intense light!

He suddenly waved his hand, and the holographic screen instantly zoomed in, locking onto that coordinate.

There.

Under the heavy encirclement of a group of colossal escort warships.

There was a seemingly inconspicuous—

”Brain.”

That’s right, it was a brain!

It floated in a vacuum, only a few hundred meters in diameter, completely translucent and milky white, covered with countless glowing neural synapses rhythmically pulsating.

It had no weapons, nor any armor.

But all the warships around it protected it as if it were a deity!

”This is the Brain Bug!”

Lu Chen’s lips curved into a cold arc.

”To catch the bandits, first catch their king.”

”As long as we destroy it, this fleet will be a scattered mess!”

”But...” Su Qingying looked at the coordinate, which was surrounded like an iron barrel, her brows tightly furrowed, ”That position is in the deepest part of the enemy formation, with at least several million warships guarding it.”
