Chapter 347 The Destroyer

Chen Ming had never expected that the mechanical race would use the strongest main force weapon they currently possessed here, against the Zerg that was targeting him.

And just now he had not sensed any obvious psychic fluctuations, nor had he seen the existence of any other motherships.

And the weapons on the mothership that had been repaired and arrived had not changed at all, and it was not the Destroyer that was used.

The real Destroyer was not on the front battlefield.

That left only one possibility.

That is, the mothership carrying the Destroyer was in the phase space at this time.

The nature of the phase space would interfere with psychic fluctuations, the propagation of light, and the radiation system of the spacecraft.

But it would not interfere with the jump fluctuations.

Under normal circumstances, jumps in the phase space can be sensed in the normal universe.

The mechanical race used a tricky method. They used the jump fluctuations of a large number of spacecraft to cover up the jump fluctuations of the Destroyer mothership in the phase space.

The Destroyer was hidden in the phase space and sent here with the fleet in the open.

Chen Ming did not expect that the mechanical race could send the mothership into the phase space, and even used this ability to attack his Zerg.

He did not pay too much attention to the phase space here.

At least he did not pay too much attention to the phase space where the Zerg fleet was gathering.

In the end, he did not notice it at all, and the Zerg fleet was hit hard in an instant.

However, this kind of surprise attack method can basically only be used once.

With this experience, Chen Ming will definitely equip any of his fleets with a phase ship or a warning device in the phase space when he moves, and will never give a sneak attack opportunity again.

As long as Chen Ming spreads the news that he was attacked by the mechanical race in this way, the Empire will definitely be very vigilant.

The Destroyer will not be easily sent to anyone's face without being discovered in the future.

The only perfect opportunity for a surprise attack was used by the mechanical race on Chen Ming.

So Chen Ming now does not understand why the mechanical race would use this opportunity to attack his Zerg.

Would the Mechanical Clan rather not have a better chance to create greater results against the Empire in the future, and would they target the Zerg now?

It seems that there is no problem.

Chen Ming thought about it carefully. After all, his Zerg fleet is now attacking the most important logistics galaxy of the Mechanical Clan.

If the logistics galaxy collapses, then there is no need to fight on the front line. If he were in the position of the Mechanical Clan, he would definitely crush the logistics troubles with lightning speed and minimize the losses.

If only other motherships were sent over, Chen Ming might still have a chance, but sending the Destroyer over and even choosing a sneak attack to enter the battle almost guaranteed that there would be no problems with other logistics galaxies.

It was an acceptable result.

In this case, Chen Ming felt that the Zerg fleet here should not be able to withdraw, and the Mechanical Clan would never let any of the Zerg go.

There was nothing to say. The Zerg was least afraid of death, and Chen Ming was least afraid of changing battle losses. Those cruiser fleets that arrived to cover the Destroyer mothership would inevitably suffer a painful blow from the Zerg.

Chen Ming immediately ordered the Zerg fleet to disperse to avoid being affected by the range attack effect of the destructive psychic energy.

All the Zerg cruisers no longer performed any self-protection actions. All they had to do next was to fight desperately.

The beams of bright green acid plasma cannons and the Zerg's biological tachyon spears flashed on the battlefield.

However, the effect this time was not obvious.

Not only were the Zerg warships themselves being destroyed and melted, but all the Zerg warships' attack methods melted together when they approached the mechanical fleet.

The Destroyer can not only release destructive psychic energy remotely, but can even use destruction to build a line of destruction defense near the fleet.

Moreover, the Zerg fleet is too vulnerable in front of the main battleships, especially the motherships equipped with the Destroyer.

Without the main force-level protection capability, it will be easily destroyed.

The last time the Zerg fleet was about the same number, and when fighting with the three motherships of the mechanical race, it took more than an hour to completely destroy them.

And facing the Destroyer...

The Destroyer's attack had no light, no impact, no signs, only the psychic fluctuations hidden in the phase space quietly infecting

There was no counter-attack.

In the previous encounter, nearly half of the Zerg cruisers disappeared in the universe.

In the final exchange of fire, the remaining Zerg fleet only lasted a few minutes before completely losing its combat effectiveness. In the end, the more than 100,000 cruisers only fought off more than a thousand cruisers of the Mechanical Clan.

This was because the Mechanical Clan took the initiative to send some cruisers to block those fish that slipped through the net of the Destroyer's psychic energy in order to completely avoid contact between the Destroyer and the Zerg fleet, resulting in such losses.

The Destroyer was not even injured in this battle, and there was no means of attack that could break through the line of destruction.

The Zerg fleet was completely annihilated in the process of resistance.

And then, all the areas where the Zerg fleet had just been were swept by the Destroyer's psychic energy of destruction, from the wreckage of Zerg spacecraft to the invisible cells, all of which were completely wiped out by the Destroyer.

In the end, not even a trace of the entire Zerg fleet was left.

The mechanical race may have guessed something, or they are simply sweeping to prevent Zerg cells from being left behind and finally falling on a planet due to gravity, causing the problem of Zerg disaster to happen again.

Fortunately, Chen Ming separated some Zerg cells when the Destroyer arrived and scattered them in a wider space.

At the same time, he also prepared to arrange some iron atoms in the phase space that were almost impossible to be discovered by the mechanical race to provide him with a vision of the phase space.

Unless the mechanical race really swept the entire galaxy and even the phase space thoroughly, it would be impossible to find those scattered ones that continued to provide Chen Ming with a vision of the interior of the galaxy.

But in the normal universe, only a very small number of cells scattered by Chen Ming that were far away from the center of the galaxy where the Zerg fleet assembled escaped.

This wide-range scan made Chen Ming wonder how much radiation energy capacity the mechanical race's mothership had.

As Chen Ming expanded his vision to the phase space, he finally saw the appearance of the mechanical race's destroyer mothership.

At first glance, it is no different from an ordinary mothership. Except for the distorted and eye-catching appearance of the Destroyer's ridge gun head in the center, there seems to be nothing special.

However, if you look closely, you will find that this mothership seems to have undergone the same major changes as the temporary phase cruisers that Chen Ming saw.

The radiation energy capacity has been greatly increased, the radiation energy dissipation has been greatly reduced, and it has been modified specifically for the phase space.

It is not a problem.

Whether it is a spaceship or an individual of the mechanical family, it is modular and mass-produced. It is very simple to replace parts. At most, the Destroyer can be disassembled and installed on another mothership.

At this time, in the phase space, in addition to the mothership, there are dozens of cruisers following the mothership.

And at this time, when Chen Ming sent those things that could provide him with vision to the phase space, several cruisers suddenly docked with the mothership, as if they were exchanging some equipment.

Just after the exchange was completed, the cruiser that exchanged the equipment immediately jumped again and disappeared here.

Chen Ming understood the situation at a glance.

The docking and equipment exchange just now was the mothership exchanging its coils full of radiation energy with the cruiser's coils without radiation energy, and then letting the cruiser send the radiation energy coils away and out of the normal universe.

Radiation energy exists in all electronic circuits of the spacecraft under normal circumstances.

The length of the electronic circuit and the capacity of the current determine the capacity of radiation energy.

The spacecraft can choose to increase the total amount of radiation energy capacity by carrying additional radiation energy coils.

Radiation energy coils have become an additional equipment that most spacecraft must carry.

Such equipment cannot be unloaded at will, of course.

Under normal circumstances, if there is more than 10% of the total capacity of radiation energy in the electronic system and radiation energy coil of the spacecraft, then if the coil is unloaded directly before the radiation energy is dissipated, it may cause radiation energy to explode at the disconnected position of the line, causing the disconnected part to melt and explode.

However, there is a special property of phase space that prevents radiation energy from being dissipated and unable to develop towards normal conditions, so there is no problem caused by unloading equipment that stores a large amount of radiation energy under normal circumstances.

This gave the mechanical family a special opportunity, so they prepared extra cruisers to use as extra coils for the mothership.

These coils are radiation capacity batteries, which can be replaced at any time when they are full.

The more cruisers you bring, the longer the mothership can stay in the phase space.

This is the technology that the mechanical family has further extended on the basis of the temporary phase ship.

It is not quite appropriate to call it technology. This should be regarded as a skill that uses the objective laws that already exist.

It is an excellent and special temporary replacement design.

Therefore, this destroyer mothership can still have the remaining radiation capacity to further sweep the entire galaxy after destroying all of Chen Ming's Zerg fleets.

The probability of contacting the Zerg cells and iron atoms left by Chen Ming is reduced to a minimum.

The destroyer mothership exchanged coils with other cruisers, allowing its radiation level to return to an acceptable level again.

The destroyer mothership then began to patrol the galaxy in the phase space.

Chen Ming thought that the destroyer mothership might be contaminated by those cells or atoms when patrolling.

But in the end, the destroyer mothership still did not approach those rare places where Zerg cells or iron atoms remained.

Chen Ming could not actively move these cells and atoms to get close to them.

His cells and atoms were fine if they did not move.

But if they moved, this mothership equipped with psychic main weapons would definitely find them.

It would be better to stay there and wait for the opportunity.

Wait for the unlucky ones to get close to them.

Anyway, cells and atoms will be left wherever the Zerg fleet passes.

As long as you get a little bit of it, it is equivalent to being marked by Chen Ming.

Even if Chen Ming's attacks were fruitless, sooner or later he would be able to rely on the accumulation of Zerg corpses to create a way to completely control the mechanical race.

The destroyer mothership did not stay in the galaxy where the Zerg fleet gathered for too long, and once again started the jump engine.

The warship's jump engine is more effective than the cruiser's, and can perform several jumps in a short period of time. Of course, it is still limited and cannot compare with Chen Ming's repair psychic ability.

And the location of the mothership's jump this time is, of course, another place where Chen Ming attacked the mechanical race at this time.

That border star field.

As the Destroyer arrived at the phase space of the mechanical race's border galaxy.

The Zerg fleet led by the Black Mist Prosthesis still chose to rush forward, but the Black Mist Prosthesis on one of the Zerg warships immediately chose to retreat.

The Black Mist Prosthesis is used to attract attention. Once the attention is attracted, the mission is completed. There is no need to stay here and fight the Mechanical Race's Destroyer head-on.

That is simply not possible.

The mothership carrying the Destroyer started the Destroyer again without any hesitation when it arrived.

Even the Zerg fleet wrapped in thick black fog for protection could not hold out for even half a second under the influence of the Destroyer.

The Black Mist Prosthesis is impossible to compete with the main weapons of the warship.

Even with Chen Ming's support, it won't work.

If he hesitated a little, the fate of the black fog prosthesis would be exactly the same as those disappearing Zerg warships.

If Chen Ming was in excellent condition and tried to fight with his psychic power, he might be able to hold on for a while.

But Chen Ming's mental state is not very good now. He was slowly recovering from exhaustion, and he was still using the black fog transformed from mental power to do things.

It is impossible to bear it, and there is no need to resist it.

So when the Destroyer started again and cleared the Zerg here.

In addition to letting the black fog prosthesis retreat, Chen Ming also immediately divided the Zerg fleet covered by the black fog into several groups.

Except for a group that stayed to continue to destroy the local mechanical colonies and various facilities, all other Zerg fleets immediately jumped.

Some jumped further to the direction closer to the empire, relying on the last chance to attack more mechanical planets.

The other part jumped to the vicinity of some unowned planets bordering the mechanical universe, leaving insect eggs in areas where the mechanical race had no jurisdiction, so as to facilitate a comeback in the future.

This was Chen Ming's purpose, and Chen Ming wanted to let the mechanical race and the imperial reconnaissance fleet that was still observing the battlefield see this scene clearly.

In addition to letting the Zerg fleet do this, he did not let the fleet led by the Black Mist Prosthesis jump to the nebula area to take advantage of the opportunity of the Destroyer Mothership to eliminate the cruisers led by another mechanical race mothership that Chen Ming had met before.

Although this was a good opportunity to destroy the backbone of the mechanical race, after all, there were still imperial reconnaissance ships watching the movements of the Black Mist Zerg fleet.

And there were no imperial ships in the nebula area.

If Chen Ming chose to jump the Zerg fleet on the border to the nebula area, it would be very likely that the Empire would discover what Chen Ming was doing in a short time.

If the matter in the nebula area was exposed, the relationship between Chen Ming and An Wuping would be a little unclear and troublesome.

Of course, it is not impossible to explain it if you insist.

But it is better not to do it if you can avoid unnecessary trouble.

The mission of the Zerg fleet is to fight to death. Death under the attack of the Destroyer is at least a waste of the Destroyer's service life. There is no need to do more things that will lead to some negative effects.

The Black Mist Zerg fleet scattered, and the overall combat power was immediately weakened.

The Destroyer didn't even need to do anything else.

The three motherships that had contact with the Zerg fleet and had finished supplying suddenly appeared near the largest number of Zerg fleets after they were scattered with a fleet each, and began to encircle and suppress them.

The Destroyer mothership also continued to repeat what it had just done, cleaning up all the wreckage of the Zerg fleet.

Soon after, the Black Mist Zerg fleet was almost completely destroyed, and this border area was once again completely controlled by the Mechanic Clan.

But both the Mechanic Clan and the Empire's reconnaissance fleet knew that these Zerg fleets shrouded in black fog still had many seeds left, and they stayed in nearby galaxies.

The Empire's reconnaissance fleet quietly disappeared after the war.

However, the Destroyer mothership of the mechanical race still did not stop. After replacing the radiation coil again, it started the jump engine again and returned to the galaxies in the nebula area that had been invaded by the Zerg.

This time, the Destroyer aimed its cannon at the planets invaded by the Zerg.

"This..."

Chen Ming immediately realized what the Destroyer mothership wanted to do.

But before he could respond, the Destroyer had already started, and the destructive psychic energy started from the precise point where the Zerg nest invaded underground and acted on the planet.

The earth of the planet was melting, and the collapsed Zerg nest passage was also revealing.

The Destroyer mothership of the mechanical race had no mercy and compassion, constantly expanding the scope of the Destroyer's action and constantly sending the Destroyer's psychic energy deep into the ground.

The planetary structure in this area was collapsing under the action of destruction, and from outside the planet, one could directly see a cone-shaped gap on the surface of the planet that was still expanding.

The underground Zerg nest gradually appeared within the sensor scanning range of the Destroyer mothership.

The Destroyer immediately increased the output power again.

In an instant, the entire hive was completely wiped out. Of course, along with the hive, the planetary structure in this area was also wiped out, as well as a large number of mechanical buildings that were not destroyed by the hive but were now destroyed by the Destroyer.

Even after destroying the hive, it still did not stop, and continued to annihilate everything deep underground in a spherical range with the hive as the core.

Some Zerg that had just escaped were also completely killed by the subsequent Destroyer attacks.

The Destroyer chose to directly wipe out part of the planet parasitized by the Zerg.

In exchange for the horrible consumption and loss, the rest of the planet can still be used.

After destroying the hive on this planet, the Destroyer did not immediately continue to go to the next Zerg-parasitized planet.

It seems that its jump engine can't bear it. It did not jump again, but stayed in place, as if it was ready to leave the phase space and move through hyperspace.

This will buy time for Chen Ming to transfer the Zerg.

But things obviously won't go so smoothly. A fleet of hundreds of pure cruisers suddenly jumped here.

After a short maintenance, hundreds of cruisers started the jump engine again at the same time.

The jump engine's linkage effect can take away things that are not larger than itself or other spacecraft.

Although the mass of the battleship is far greater than that of the cruiser, it can still be carried away by the joint action of hundreds of cruisers.

The jump engines of hundreds of cruisers brought the Destroyer mothership to the next galaxy invaded by the Zerg.

Starting the jump engine multiple times in a short period of time will cause serious damage to the engine, but the mechanical race obviously doesn't care about these losses.

If the Zerg are not dealt with as soon as possible, their losses will only become more and more serious.

And when this galaxy is destroyed, I am afraid that the next batch of mechanical cruisers will arrive soon and continue to send the Destroyer to the next galaxy.

Even if the mechanical race does not have enough cruisers, as long as the destroyers are replaced on a new mothership, the new destroyer mothership will completely destroy the nests on all the planets invaded by the Zerg.

Chen Ming has fully realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately asked all the Zerg that invaded the mechanical race planet to migrate to other places on the planet.

Whether going deeper underground, hiding in the underground of other mechanical race colonies, or farther away, as long as they can avoid the attack of the destroyer, it doesn't matter where they go.

But the mechanical race motherships are completely merciless, and there is no word of mercy in their dictionary.

As long as there is a planet where the Zerg has parasitized, whether it is successful or not, as long as it is the location where the Zerg warships fell, whether there is a mechanical race colony here, no matter how valuable the resources are, they will be destroyed by this destructive aura.

Chen Ming can only let most of the Zerg go to a location close to the core of the planet, and develop under terrible pressure and gravity, and even in the core of some planets, there is an extremely high temperature environment.

The efficiency progress is slower than in the shallow places, but it is better than being killed by the destroyer.

However, Chen Ming still underestimated the determination of the mechanical race.

The destroyer did temporarily ignore those planets where the insect nests were not found, that is, the insect nests hid in places where they could not be found.

But when the destroyer went to all the other planets where the insect nests were found.

It returned to the planets where the insect nests were not found.

The mechanical race on these planets had been packing up since just now.

When the destroyer arrived, all the mechanical races took off with all the buildings and materials that could be evacuated in a short time.

The destroyer directly acted on the center of the earth of this planet.

Destroying the center of the earth.

It is equivalent to directly destroying everything on this planet.

When Chen Ming's Zerg fleet set off, it chose fifty valuable star systems, with a total of seventy-three valuable planets.

Each of these seventy-three planets was injected with insect eggs.

In the end, a total of eight planets where the Zerg were not found were completely destroyed by the destroyer, which was almost one-tenth of the total number.

All the remaining planets that were invaded by the Zerg and still survived the baptism of the Destroyer began to conduct extremely strict internal monitoring.

As long as the Zerg eggs were found, the Destroyer would be summoned again for cleansing.

This is how the Mechanoids fight the Zerg.
