Chapter 429 Biofuel Generator
Chen Ming felt anger building up in his heart.
He knew about this attack method using neutrons.
As early as when he learned about the design concept of the Colossus, the concept of neutron weapons called neutron annihilation had been put on the table, and appeared together with the main design direction of the Colossus, the Earth-shattering Star.
The Earth-shattering Star was designed to directly destroy the planet itself.
The design purpose of neutron annihilation is to most efficiently clean up all living things on the planet.
Including organisms, machines, and scarlet.
Organisms will have their genes shattered by neutrons.
Machinery will have its circuits pierced by neutrons.
Scarlet will also be affected in a similar way.
The original intention of the weapon design was very good, because the purpose of the Colossus-class weapon design itself was to clean up the planet affected by the scarlet.
Neutron weapons can not only eliminate the scarlet and the creatures affected by the scarlet, but also preserve the resources of the planet itself.
It only takes about ten years to wait for the activated neutrons on the planet to deactivate, or it takes two or three years to actively clean up the activated neutrons.
However, when the scarlet infection is at its worst, everything will be transformed into scarlet, and the probability of the planet being preserved intact is not high.
In addition, the Empire is not short of habitable planet resources. What it lacks is those resources that are concentrated and worth developing, and it is not short of a planet infected by scarlet.
The design difficulty of the Earth-shattering Star is obviously simpler than the neutron extermination, and the intuitive effect is more obvious.
The Earth-shattering Star is obviously more useful for dealing with severely infected scarlet planets.
When facing some enemies who are not afraid of neutrons, such as the Leviathan before, the overall performance is obviously better.
Moreover, although the scarlet creatures have biological characteristics, it cannot be guaranteed that the neutron jet will have a complete effect on them, especially when the scarlet infects an entire planet.
The entire planet has become the incarnation of scarlet, and the neutron torrent may not be able to solve it.
Moreover, the Empire's scientific research resources are limited.
The Empire now has more than just the Colossus-class weapon, which is an important and huge project.
In any case, the entire project team can only study the technology of one Colossus-class weapon before the Colossus is really built.
Therefore, the design of neutron annihilation was not put on the research.
The research direction of the Empire remained in the direction of the Earth-shattering Star, specifically for Scarlet.
The mechanical race also had Colossus-class weapons, and the type of Colossus-class weapons used was neutron annihilation. This was not surprising to Chen Ming.
Because the basic concept of Colossus-class weapons was learned from the Shining Civilization and redesigned after the Empire was unified.
Understanding is understanding.
Chen Ming could not accept such weapons being used on his own people.
He had always been clamoring to break away from the Empire and be self-sufficient, but he had never disagreed with his human identity.
And as he got closer and closer to the construction of colonies, he also knew that his original idea of breaking away from the Empire and being self-sufficient was difficult to achieve.
And the Empire has been changing its attitude towards him and giving compensation in various aspects.
Almost all the places where Chen Ming needed, the Empire has been actively paying.
Of course, the Empire could see that Chen Ming had been stealing talents from the Empire when he built the colony.
It was obvious that they could just send some people who could record data and take the data away for research, but they still sent top talents from all aspects to him continuously.
This was the tacit understanding between Chen Ming and the Empire.
It made the disgust in his heart decrease.
It can be said that the Empire was afraid after knowing Chen Ming's ability and took the initiative to admit defeat.
That was enough.
Chen Ming never looked at other people's ideas, but their behavior.
He identified himself as a human being and a member of the Empire.
Then he couldn't just watch these things happen and remain indifferent.
Chen Ming disappeared from the surface in an instant.
He didn't have time to collect these corpses.
The best way to appease those dead souls was to completely destroy the mechanical race.
He returned to the super body and searched for traces of the Colossus and its fleet in space.
The scale of the Colossus is no different from that of an ordinary space station. The movement of such a huge object, whether it relies on hyperspace channels or jumps, will inevitably leave enough traces.
Chen Ming didn't even need to look carefully, and he had already found an area of almost continuous jump fluctuations in the area with the highest neutron density above the planet.
He directly read and analyzed the data of the jump fluctuations and determined the coordinates of the Colossus jump at the fastest speed.
After a slight calculation of the time required to use the jump engine and the time stream core.
The time stream core of the super body was fully activated, and under the effect of Chen Ming's psychic power, it was instantly overloaded, accelerating the entire spacecraft to the extreme and heading in the direction of the jump.
In just a moment, the super body arrived at the edge of the target galaxy.
The image of the galaxy has appeared on the sensor.
Just a glance, Chen Ming did not find the Colossus and the large-scale fleet that jumped here, as well as any traces of the suspected mechanical family's central core.
There is only a mechanical family fleet here that is about the same size as the fleet he solved in the previous galaxy.
The fleet was divided into several smaller fleets, stationed in the orbits of several planets in this galaxy.
Chen Ming has the information about this galaxy on hand.
Because some time ago, people controlled by brainwashed psychics appeared in this galaxy.
And there are several industrial colonies in the galaxy.
The reason why the mechanical race did not choose to stay in the capital galaxy, but chose to stay here, is likely related to these industrial colonies.
The colossus will not disappear out of thin air, it must have jumped to other galaxies again.
If you want to investigate the location of the colossus, you must pass through the obstruction of these mechanical races.
Chen Ming chose to strike first.
He did not do it himself, but only relied on the super body's own time flow core and space ability to be accelerated to the speed most suitable for exerting combat power, and instantly passed through the orbit of every planet in the galaxy.
The warships close to the super body were cut apart, and the warships far away exploded from the inside out.
Even the mothership could not escape the fate of being split in two.
The last time Chen Ming's scarlet power overflowed, the super body now became half red and half white, and it also caused the super body to use the scarlet power while using the space power.
Almost all the cross-sections of the mechanical warships that were cut by the super body were covered with messy blood-red machinery.
And they were completely infected by these blood-red machinery.
Chen Ming did not deliberately prevent all this from happening.
On the contrary, he continued to release more of his scarlet power.
Doing so could cause the mechanical fleet to be more severely damaged, and the super body to be more thoroughly infected by the scarlet power.
At the same time, it could also allow the pent-up anger in his heart to be vented a little.
Regardless of their size and battle, the mechanical race in space was cleared by Chen Ming in an instant.
Then, the super body's sensor uploaded the scan results of the planet in the galaxy.
Sure enough, some mechanical races had already landed on the planet.
They chose to carry the activated neutrons and began to dismantle the industrial colonies of humans and transform them into their own industrial buildings.
Just as Chen Ming had guessed before.
After the star field occupied by the only nearby mechanical race was demolished by the empire, those mechanical races that came from afar must have needed a base to ensure their own production capacity.
A tree without roots and duckweed without water is definitely not a long-term solution.
The mechanical race obviously understands this truth.
Chen Ming also understands it, so he will not give the mechanical race such an opportunity.
Chen Ming directly controls the super body to land on the planet closest to him.
As the super body enters the atmosphere, the metal sky curtain is pulled up immediately, plunging the entire planet into darkness.
The mechanical race, which was originally building their own colony, suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something and began to behave like the planet Chen Ming had visited before.
Self-destruction.
They destroyed the ruins of the colony, destroyed themselves, and destroyed the buildings they built themselves.
Just to prevent Chen Ming from easily obtaining these things.
Chen Ming did not care about them at the moment.
Because his eyes have been attracted by the piles of corpses between the ruins of the colony.
The colony under his feet is an industrial colony, and the population distribution is usually scattered and not too concentrated.
The location where he is now is not a concentrated residential area in the colony.
There is only one reason why so many corpses can appear.
That is, the mechanical race gathered the corpses.
The mechanical race certainly did not do this out of kindness, and they did not need to worry about the plague caused by the corpses.
The reason they did this was because of the furnace-like device next to the pile of corpses.
Chen Ming knew this device.
It would roll the corpses into it and crush them, converting them into the most basic electrical energy.
This is a biofuel generator.
At this moment, Chen Ming took a casual look and saw that these devices were evenly distributed in the core area of the entire colony.
All human corpses killed by neutrons would be thrown into the generator by the mechanical race for bio-electricity.
And at the opening of the generator closest to Chen Ming.
Just at this moment, the body of a child who was probably only in his early teens was dragged by the conveyor belt and fell into the interior of the generator.
Chen Ming only felt a surge of anger for a while.
He suddenly disappeared on the spot and smashed the entire power generation equipment with one punch.
The shattered flesh and blood scattered all over the ground, and the half-crushed body of the child fell between the flesh and blood.
Looking at what was happening in front of him, Chen Ming did not feel the anger relieved at all.
The surrounding mechanical units turned a blind eye to this situation, and even continued to destroy their own units, which told Chen Ming from various levels.
They didn't even care about themselves, how could they care about humans? Not to mention the corpses of humans?
And when the head of the child's corpse turned to his side because of the cut on the corpse, and pointed the pair of lifeless eyes full of physical pain at him.
Chen Ming found it even more difficult to suppress his emotions.
Thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of people died, which were just numbers on paper.
Only when you see with your own eyes that these numbers are also living people with emotions in reality, these numbers will become the real number of "deaths".
Several humanoids made of metal liquid appeared around Chen Ming.
These metal liquid humanoids boarded the super body together and were carried to several other planets by the super body.
With the arrival of the humanoids, the metal sky curtain also completely covered all the planets in the galaxy, and once again smashed to the ground like the sky falling, destroying everything belonging to the mechanical race.
This is the means he has mastered to deal with the mechanical race with the fastest efficiency.
While Chen Ming was destroying the mechanical race, each mechanical race was also frantically self-destructing.
They don't care about their own losses at all, they only care about causing more losses to the empire and letting Chen Ming get less rewards when controlling them.
The galaxy soon became quiet.
There was no sound at all.
After the colossus of the mechanical race came to this galaxy with neutron annihilation, all life in the galaxy had completely passed away.
And when Chen Ming completely wiped out the mechanical race, everything became quiet.
The silence of death filled the entire galaxy.
Although Chen Ming had been to many galaxies without any breath of life, he felt a discomfort he had never had before from this dead galaxy.
He had seen death, but he would never get used to death.
Chen Ming suddenly sighed.
He was suspended in the air of the planet and looked around. At a glance, the entire colony had been completely destroyed.
Even if the equipment of the mechanical race had been completely dismantled, the piles of corpses still could not be properly dealt with.
He still wasted time doing unnecessary things.
Even if he dealt with the mechanical race and prevented the corpses from being involved in those power generation equipment.
It could not change the ending that all the people in the entire galaxy died in neutron annihilation.
Even if he dealt with the mechanical race more efficiently, it could not change the process of wasting time.
He knew how to achieve his goal as quickly and efficiently as possible.
But when he saw the corpses of those people, he couldn't help it.
His power alone was still too weak after all.
He could stop it for a while, and he could stop a corner.
But it was absolutely impossible to stop it for a lifetime and stop the invasion of the entire mechanical race.
Chen Ming quickly sorted out his emotions and warned himself not to meddle in other people's business.
Some things could not change the outcome no matter how much he wanted to intervene.
What he had to do was to speed up his pace and use all the means he had to completely eliminate the source that would lead to the results he didn't want to see.
The scarlet color on the surface of the super body had become more and more obvious, gradually covering the original pure white.
A blood-red shadow disappeared in this galaxy wiped out by the mechanical race.
Go to the next one discovered by Chen Ming.
The galaxy where the colossus of the mechanical race might exist.
