Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 441 Additional Target

Lu Bai left the meeting early.

He knew that Bai Quan would definitely tell him about the follow-up arrangements later.

He quickly gathered his team and drove away two frigates.

This military force was not much, and it could even be said to be very little.

But it was enough for Lu Bai.

Under his command, the two spaceships set out from the border of the empire, approached the defense line of the mechanical race in a secret march, and hid in a galaxy that was close to the mechanical race and neither the empire nor the mechanical race could occupy.

The risk of directly crossing the defense line was too great.

No one knew whether the patrol fleet of the mechanical race equipped with high-power detection equipment would suddenly pass by here at some point and discover their two frigates.

They were here to perform infiltration and sabotage missions.

If they were discovered, the mission would inevitably fail.

They also had no chance of winning the battle.

So Lu Bai still had to wait, waiting for a suitable opportunity to pass through.

Two days later.

Under Bai Quan's planning and command.

The empire began its first large-scale counterattack.

Starting from the side of the Empire's Galo Star Region, countless neuron warships fearlessly launched an attack in the direction of the mechanical family's defense line.

This was a joint operation of several star regions, and the most powerful fleet on Baiquan's side was the core.

Strive to break the perfect defense line of the mechanical family in this battle.

And Lu Bai, who was hiding in the neighboring star region, also took this opportunity to move, passing through the mechanical family's defense line through the hidden channel found before.

Even in the midst of war, it was very dangerous for two escorts to directly enter the base of the mechanical family.

However, Lu Bai was not unprepared. His psychic power controlled by electrical signals could isolate all signal dissemination on his spacecraft and almost block all reconnaissance.

The signals of most reconnaissance equipment had been captured by his psychic power before the two spacecrafts that hit him returned to the spacecraft that released the detection signal, and would continue to spread to the other side of his ship as if nothing was detected.

There was no effective means to discover him at all.

Unless the reconnaissance spacecraft directly observed his two ships at the optical level.

Otherwise, the spaceship 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 arrived at the destination galaxy smoothly soon after.

There was originally a planet in this galaxy that was considered to have the highest level 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 colony during the evacuation, it can be seen from the billowing smoke of industrial facilities operating 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 dock suspended above the orbit of the target planet.

Judging from the signal from the dock, the colossus that Lu Bai was targeting this time was staying in the giant dock.

After confirming the location of the colossus, Lu Bai's fleet immediately approached the giant dock.

However, they did not get too close, but only unloaded a single-person short-distance jump device near the nearby position.

Afterwards, Lu Bai turned his attention to the planet under the orbit and the industrial colony on the planet.

In addition to producing battleships and producing Colossus-class ships after adding additional modules, the giant dock can also be used to produce ordinary ships.

The core components of the ships produced in the industrial colony are used to provide the giant dock with ships.

The frigates 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 are no traces of friction between the frigates and the atmosphere, and the planet's ground orbital defense system can't detect the two frigates protected by Lu Bai's psychic power.

The space orbital defense system is still under construction.

All of Lu Bai's actions were carried out under the eyes of the mechanical race, but no mechanical race could find him.

This kind of psychic power that is connected with electronic equipment can almost achieve an effect similar to dimensionality reduction when facing the existence of the mechanical race.

This is the confidence of Lu Bai to do this, and he has done so 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, but worried that the visual sensors of the mechanical units would discover his traces.

So he still kept the spacecraft at a certain altitude and kept looking for the rest of his targets in the air.

That is, the main control facilities of the colony, and the personality core that was most likely installed in it.

This industrial colony, which originally belonged to humans, also had a similar main control system before.

If the mechanical race is convenient, it is very likely that they will continue to use the damaged main control facility.

Lu Bai's primary reconnaissance target is placed there.

So the closer Lu Bai got to the location of the original main control facility, the more he could clearly feel that the density of the surrounding industrial facilities was increasing, while the number of mechanical units was decreasing.

This was a disguised proof of the improvement of the degree of industrial automation.

It was also proof that the main control facilities of the mechanical race were also in front.

"It should be nearby."

"Everyone, check your equipment."

Everyone on the two spaceships except the pilots immediately arranged the special wing suits they were wearing.

After the preparations were completed, the hatch of the frigate opened, and Lu Bai jumped out of the hatch first, and the other team members followed Lu Bai and jumped off the spaceship.

At the moment when everyone jumped out of the spaceship, a layer of fine liquid metal immediately emerged from the backpacks behind them.

Of course, this was not the influence of Chen Ming's psychic power. This was just a layer of nanorobot clusters that could be manufactured by human technology at present after the self-valued development of the only rust-free nanorobot that Chen Ming had found in the Cultural Memorial Hall of the Shining Civilization.

The nanorobots covered the entire body of the team members who were out on a mission, and quickly began to change their own state, covering the team members inside, achieving the effect of optical invisibility.

Soon they landed between the factories and quickly assembled, setting their sights on the towering colony control hub not far away.

Lu Bai's psychic energy was still entangled around him and his team members, and some of it was released to detect the surrounding environment.

The electrical signals of the mechanical units were also within his perception range.

This allowed the team to go deep into the most important places of the mechanical tribe without being discovered by the mechanical maintenance units.

Lu Bai quickly planned a route to the main control hub in the area full of industrial buildings to complete his purpose of this trip.

As long as he was close to the main control hub at a certain distance, he could use his psychic energy to forcibly destroy the control signal of the colony, which would not only destroy the normal operation of the colony, but also cut off the means for the personality core to contact the outside world, and even have a certain chance to take the personality core away.

It was just that Lu Bai's eyes were always observing around on the way, as if he could see everything inside the building through those industrial buildings.

Although the team members felt strange, they did not express any opinions on the captain's behavior.

The group arrived outside the main control hub very quietly at night at local time.

And followed the maintenance channel specially set up by the mechanical tribe for maintenance individuals to enter the hub.

After all, the mechanical race is something created by the humanoid species of the Shining Civilization, and the things they create will leave some places that are helpful to humans 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: "The core of the main control hub is about 300 meters ahead, and we are almost there."

"Well, then change the route first."

The team members looked at each other immediately. Although they felt strange, they could not disobey the captain's order.

They continued to move forward along the maintenance passage inside the building, but only changed the direction slightly.

Came to an independent empty room in the main control hub.

There were no monitoring facilities in the room, only densely packed lines that could not be counted.

The structure of this room is similar to the regional room of the hub core that Lu Bai's team investigated outside.

But what is placed here is not the personality core.

It is a blue spherical object.

"I know this."

Lu Bai walked in front of several team members and said, "This is the wreckage of Yuhui's Alpha-class core..."

A team member who also knew Yuhui asked, "Captain, isn't this core still working? How do you know it's the wreckage?"

"The electrical signal inside it has no irregular fluctuations. It's different from any Yuhui core I've seen. It has no consciousness."

Lu Bai knows Yuhui and the mechanical race very well.

So he can judge that this Yuhui core only exists in the body and the part that performs calculations in the body.

The reason it exists here is just to replace some self-calculations of the mechanical race.

"Do you remember that the headquarters lost Yuhui when they were chasing Yuhui some time ago? They said he was taken away by the mechanical race?"

"Remember."

"It seems that the batch of Yuhui cores that were lost have all come here."

"Captain, you know so much?"

"Yuhui is also an electronic life. It's normal for me to know more with such psychic abilities."

This is not normal.

The team member who just asked the question had such an idea in his mind.

He knew that the captain had learned this much about Yu Hui.

Lu Bai had also learned it.

Because he knew that his psychic power was similar to Chen Ming's, after he awakened his psychic power and made achievements, he was promoted to an officer and no longer needed to undergo long-term training in various aspects.

He specifically asked Baiquan about Chen Ming's development process.

Then, he imitated the path Chen Ming had taken and studied many related technologies and knowledge based on the nature of his psychic power.

And he also studied a lot of papers that Chen Ming had read or simply wrote.

Of course, he knew clearly about the knowledge that electronic life like Yu Hui was closely related to his psychic power.

That's why he kept looking around on the way.

Because this was the first time he saw Yu Hui's core installed in the building of the mechanical race.

It was also for this reason that he came here to take a look at the situation before completing his goal.

The situation has been understood, and Lu Bai did not continue to stay in the room where the core of Yuhui 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 the team members squatted near the core area, looking for the key nodes of the mechanical production line.

When the front-line war broke out, the military factory in the rear must of course operate at least 100% efficiency.

Let him feel the operating logic of different lines very clearly.

And record it.

Lu Bai's restraint on the mechanical race and Yuhui is very similar to Chen Ming, and he is even more excessive in remote means.

Chen Ming's psychic power still needs contact, and his electric signal control psychic power is aimed at the mechanical race, just like his psychic power of remotely controlling human nerve signals is aimed 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 all kinds of materials that should not appear on certain production lines appear, and let some special materials cause damage to industrial buildings.

Lu Bai stayed near the core for nearly thirty hours.

He got a clear picture of almost all the production lines of the mechanical race's colonies throughout the planet.

After successfully obtaining all the information, Lu Bai's team finally started to move.

Lu Bai's psychic energy penetrated all the lines with electrical signals around the personality core.

And detonated them at a certain moment.

Stuffed a lot of error or honor signals into it.

The entire colony under the control of the personality core instantly fell into chaos.

The alarm sound of problems in industrial facilities and some more serious explosions were transmitted to Lu Bai and his party through the building.

Without any hesitation, they aimed the tools they had prepared at the personality cores in countless lines.

After achieving their goal.

The dozen or so team members following Lu Bai immediately pulled the trigger on a device on their bodies.

Then they disappeared in the building on the surface and appeared in the space where they had set up another short-distance jump device before.

The two long-awaited frigates immediately took all the team members to the spacecraft.

The surface was in chaos, and a large number of fleets were dispatched from the giant dock to the planet.

Two frigates were approaching the giant dock from the other end of the giant dock opposite to the planet.

More than ten minutes passed.

Bright fire came from the giant dock.

And Lu Bai's two frigates were wrapped in a psychic wave and disappeared in the galaxy.

Lu Bai's team took away the personality core of the mechanical race, collapsed their important industrial colonies, and destroyed the colossus staying in the giant dock.

It even caused serious irreparable damage to the giant dock.

And, took away the afterglow core that Lu Bai had discovered earlier.

This is also a very important evidence that can let people know the whereabouts of the afterglow core that was taken away by the mechanical race in large numbers before.

This afterglow core circulated in the empire for two days.

Finally, it fell into Chen Ming's galaxy, brilliant hands.
