Chapter 1591 Autopsy
"To be honest, the behavior of a girl vomiting while walking outside and cursing while vomiting is really unsightly..."
"But this girl's body is a boat, and all she spits out are system waste. This image is subtle and acceptable."
"However, if you think about it carefully, your ship is technically a ship girl, a ship girl! This picture is indeed too unsightly!"
Nolan rolled his eyes and looked at his captain with a confused expression: "Boss, you've been talking about it for a long time, can you take a break?"
Hao Ren: "...Forget it, let's continue with the business."
Everyone's attention was still focused on the ruins of the corrupted monsters that had been demolished.
The analysis of these remains was quite fruitful. Hao Ren understood the original appearance of quite a few of the monsters, their power levels and special abilities after mutation, and how the power of the Lord of Madness came about. The effects on these creatures, and the general process of their transformation to where they are today - every piece of information is extremely precious, and it is one of the few pieces of information Hao Ren has obtained about the Lord of Madness from his activities in the dream plane to this day. Direct intelligence, the last time he obtained this level of valuable information was when he was dealing with Rock Marton in the world of Koro.
But in the end, he still couldn't figure out the reason why these monsters suddenly showed "discipline" at the last moment of the battle.
Corruption monsters lack discipline and rely almost entirely on instinct except for gathering in groups. This is their biggest weakness. If mastered properly, you can fight against these monsters even if you are at a disadvantage. However, once this weakness disappears, the threat of these monsters will will be improved exponentially. The monsters are huge in number, are not afraid of death and pain, and have all kinds of strange abilities. As the battle goes on, they will continue to pollute and corrupt everything on the battlefield. If such a group of troublesome enemies are coupled with the skill points of order prohibition and proficient tactics, Hao Ren is even more willing to duel with Raven 12345 - at least the latter can be eye-catching, right?
According to the calculations of the data terminal, if these monsters in the previous battle showed the same organizational discipline as at the last moment from the beginning, then the difficulty of the drone swarm's victory will skyrocket. Numbers can still lead to ultimate victory, but it will be a miserable victory and will never be as easy and comfortable as the previous battles.
However, analysis of the wreckage samples shows that these monsters do not have intact thinking organs. Their brains have long been rotten, and it is impossible for them to carry out the exquisite cooperation and assault actions they had before on the battlefield.
Vivian bent her fingers and tapped the armrest of the chair lightly while looking at Hao Ren: "Do you have any ideas?"
"I just made some associations," Hao Ren said frankly, "Do you think these monsters are controlled by remote control? They have no ability to think, but they behave rationally. 'Remote control' is the best explanation. . Previously on the battlefield, they were in chaos at the beginning. They just kept their heads down and acted recklessly. When they were almost wiped out, they suddenly organized and broke out as if they had reacted... This gave me the feeling that the commander on the opposite side was F2. A wave of soldiers A came over. Because the goblins had no ability to resist, Commander A ignored them. After a while, he suddenly realized when he saw the population falling. He hurriedly cut in to save the situation, but it was too late... …”
Hao Ren's alternative idea was really sound and logical. Vivian thought about it carefully and then slapped her face: "I have never played the game, so I don't understand what you are talking about."
Hao Ren: "... Then you still look like you have some understanding!"
"Okay, okay, I was just joking. I understand what you mean," Vivian waved her hand with a smile, "I think what you said is a possibility, but this possibility is all based on speculation. , there is currently no tangible evidence, so this is just..."
Before she finished speaking, the data terminal suddenly jumped out: "Wait a minute, if you want tangible evidence, you already have it now."
Hao Ren and Vivian turned to look at the terminal at the same time: "What evidence?"
The data terminal flew in front of the two of them and turned on its own holographic projection. What was shown on the projection was a black battleship that was parasitized and distorted by biological tissue. This black battleship was obviously restored and synthesized using technical means, because it was inseparable. There would never be such complete wreckage on a battlefield where man-machine swarms have ravaged - as the screen switches, the internal structure of this analytical diagram becomes clearer, and some dark red mesh structures and large groups of colors Blocks fill most areas of the ship.
"The autonomous machines decomposed the wreckage of seventeen black battleships, and after piecing together the data of these wreckage, they finally restored a complete enemy ship. Look at these network structures - they are present in every wreckage, and from the structure They are similar in principle. They are a mixture of metal data lines and biological nervous tissue. They are spread throughout the spacecraft like a neural network. This machine guesses that this thing is the original electrification control network of the spacecraft. After the members of the spacecraft mutated, this control network The network is integrated with biological tissue. These dark areas are the nodes of the 'neural network'. These nodes are obviously the result of late-stage proliferation. They are all swollen and deformed sarcomas. Judging from the shape of the sarcomas, they should be those corrupt giants. The body..."
Some disgusting biological tissues appeared on the screen. Even though Hao Ren was so well-informed, his scalp was numb at the moment. Those biological tissues were clearly swollen and deformed giant corpses, but the corpses had melted like wax to the point where they were almost invisible. The level of discerning any detail, and around these rotten flesh-like flesh and blood tissues, there are a large number of tubes extending out, which is the so-called "neural network".
"The neural network and these corrupt giants together form a control system. The former is a command transmission unit, and the latter is equivalent to an antenna. This machine found that this system has the function of receiving remote commands and also has a certain degree of autonomous control function. If Without external commands, it would operate the ship on its own - of course, in which case they would be extremely ineffective, as the first half of the battle showed."
"As expected, it's remotely controlled..." Hao Ren touched his chin, "Are these the only spaceships with this kind of structure?"
"Smaller-scale 'neuro-remote control systems' were also found on other wreckage, but they were significantly different from those in the black spacecraft. This aircraft speculates that those small units may not be directly commanded by the superiors, but serve as wingmen or convoys. Controlled by a black spaceship - but when the black spacecraft itself is in autonomous combat mode, the action efficiency of these cannon fodder units is obviously not much higher."
The organization of these corrupt monsters and how their armies operate has finally been revealed.
"Pyramid... or a tree-like control network?" Vivian frowned, "So when they were chaotic before, they were in automatic combat mode. Later, they suddenly showed discipline and were directly controlled by superior units. ...It seems that this 'superior unit' is a very difficult thing."
"Judging from the performance in battle, the superior units of these corrupted monsters have a completely different intelligence level from ordinary crazy derivatives. They or they have a high degree of discipline and tactical thinking, and can make quick and rational decisions based on the current situation. Coping strategies, and more importantly…”
Before Hao Ren finished speaking, Vivian took up the second half of his sentence: "What's more important is that they already know that we are coming."
"It's inevitable," Hao Ren waved his hand, "Such a large-scale battle cannot be covered up. Now I'm just worried about how far the controllers behind these monsters know about our strength - they were at the end of the battle. They only extended their will at that time, so I'm afraid they don't see much directly, but I don't know if there is a mechanism like 'memory cache' in the nervous system or command system of these monsters. If the spacecraft was destroyed in the end, If we upload things like battlefield records, we will expose a lot of things."
Nolan's voice came from the side: "The huge number of drones is a hard advantage. We are only facing the derivatives of Crazy Crowd, not the Lord of Crazy Crowds or the Goddess of Destruction herself, so as long as we can achieve the numerical advantage Absolute crushing, exposing part of the fleet data is not a problem."
Hao Ren nodded: "What you said makes sense. Inform the general consciousness of the fleet and mobilize all the reserve teams from the periphery of the X star cluster. The fleet nest within the X star cluster will increase the production priority of armed drones to the highest level. In addition, , do not stop injecting troops into this area until I issue a termination order or the crisis in the Nine’s Space.”
"Nolan understands."
"And also pay attention to the active defense and scanning of the area," Vivian reminded, "Our presence has been exposed, they may send a second wave of troops over."
After arranging things related to local defense and drone production, Hao Ren planned to continue observing in this "test site" for a while, but from "Nakdal Continent" (this is the new name given to the planet fragments, after all It had a name when it was a fortress) and intelligence came from him that he had to return early.
The analysis of the "navigation crystal" finally yielded results.
As the navigation computer of the Nakdal Planet Fortress, the mysterious huge crystal contains a massive amount of data. However, the creation goddess’s encryption of the crystal makes most of the data undecipherable, but this does not mean that It was completely impossible to analyze anything from it - after Vivian accidentally activated the crystal once, the latter switched from the original "dead" state to a semi-active standby state, although Its encryption system is still operating, but Hao Ren...well, it was actually discovered by the data terminal. The data terminal discovered that the information stored in the crystal was layered. Although there was a considerable amount of data in a sealed state, apart from these mysterious Apart from the data, everything else seems to be decryptable through conventional algorithms...
So Hao Ren asked the data terminal to design a system specifically designed to crack the crystal encryption. During this period, the crystal was placed in the control center of the Naqdar Continent and was constantly being read and deciphered.
The shallow information of the crystal has been cracked, which means that the real coordinates of the "hub" have been revealed.
