Magnet stars.

Dozens of cargo ships have just docked in the busy starport.

A twelve-legged star worm strode forward and said anxiously, "You're finally here. This shipment needs to be shipped out as soon as possible. Leaving it for another day could cause problems."

The person who came into contact with the Starworm was a humanoid creature wearing a mask. He replied, "We will move it immediately. The deposit has been deposited into your account."

Upon hearing this, Starworm said happily, "Haha, it's not that urgent. As long as you can finish moving today, it'll be fine."

After the contact, engineering robots came out of the cargo spacecraft and entered the warehouse to move the goods, all of which were loaded into square metal boxes.

At this time, in a building inside the star port, the caravan owner Todd was enjoying a delicious meal.

As a businessman from a violent tribe, he was able to get to where he is today within ten years, not entirely due to his racial attributes, but more due to his own efforts.

"Hasn't their identity been determined yet?" Todd raised his left hand and spoke to his watch.

The response came from the other side: "Unless we get their genetic information, we can't find out. But the person in charge is very strict and even ignored the drinks we offered."

Todd seemed to be thinking about something, and asked his men to keep paying attention and investigate the matter as thoroughly as possible.

"Micromagnetic crystals can improve communication efficiency and are restricted by the military. I suspect the culprits behind this shipment might be traitors. If they are indeed traitors..."

His eyes sparkled, and he had other ideas.

…

The robot was very fast and loaded all the cargo in just half a day. It then drove the spacecraft and safely left the magnetic planet.

This is a planet located on the edge of the Canglan star field, famous for producing micro-magnetic minerals.

Soon after, a fleet also left and followed closely behind.

Inside the flagship, Todd's face was filled with excitement.

Every time he did this kind of black-eating-black thing, he would be so excited that he couldn't sleep.

"They're most likely rebels. If we eat them, not only can we get some free money, but we can also get our goods back, and we can even hand them over to the empire for a reward. Haha, three birds with one stone! I'm a genius."

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Todd ordered to sail at full speed and must intercept the other party before it left the galaxy.

At this time, outside the galaxy, Chen An learned this information on the train and was very surprised.

"What do they want to do?"

This caravan is notorious for its thug-on-thug tactics. They probably thought we were rebels.

"In fact, you're right. We are indeed considered traitors. How many micromagnetic crystals have we obtained now?"

[We have collected nearly one million tons from various sources, plus the five million tons acquired from the magnetic star, which is enough for us to create a trillion-bit mimicry.]

"As expected, buying ready-made is still the fastest. This caravan is truly remarkable, managing to acquire so many micromagnetic crystals. Honestly, if they hadn't committed suicide, I'd still like to maintain this trading channel."

While chatting, Xiao Zhen received an order to send out three fleets to launch a devastating attack on the enemy.

Chen An was not interested in this matter. He was more concerned about the manufacturing speed of bit mimicry.

Bit mimicry is a combination of signal mimicry and bits.

Signal mimicry requires the use of micro-magnetic crystals, and the bits are already prepared, with as many as needed.

[Reminder: Master, if we truly create a 100-billion-bit mimicry, we'll need a dedicated storage facility.]

Although the real carriers of bit mimicry are small, their number is too large.

"It's still storage car No. 103, just like before. If it can't fit, we'll move it to the next door."

Half an hour later, Fuyao released war scenes.

The caravan was about to catch up with the cargo ship, but was suddenly besieged by a large group of warships and suffered heavy losses.

Todd was so scared that he surrendered on the spot, but Chen An would not leave any of them alive, so he destroyed them all without leaving a trace.

Interestingly, Todd’s fleet was loaded with a lot of special minerals ready for trading, but Chen An took them all away.

[I need to remind the owner that the bit mimicry we created cannot actually be taken away]

"I know. I need it now, so I don't care if I can take it with me later. Besides, it's only the physical carrier of the bit-mimicry that can't be taken away; the network part won't be affected."

Before the Magnetar defenders arrived, the train jumped away.

Seven days later, the train returned to the base of the Binary Crystal Clan and used a trillion-strong mimicry army to attack the network.

This time it was different. The cyber war advanced with great force and finally alarmed the base.

They hadn't paid much attention to it before because the base was constantly under external attacks and it had become a habit.

But this time it was different. Not only was the base's external network breached, but its internal network was also damaged.

"Hurry up and start the electromagnetic interference!"

"Abandon the external network and protect the internal network with all your strength!"

"Clear out the external signals."

The person in charge gave the order calmly and solemnly, and expelled Chen An's star network in just ten seconds.

But it doesn’t matter anymore, because in just a few seconds, Fuyao has downloaded the relevant information.

We have acquired the complete set of technologies for energy body transformation, but we need to further absorb and digest them.

After thinking about it, Chen An asked Zhou Zhenfeng to set up a special research project on energy body in the research center and let Gustav be in charge.

"The Mimics themselves are energy entities, so it's most appropriate to let them do the research."

It took half a day to retrieve the undercover agent and the train disappeared into the distance.

Twenty days later, as Chen An expected, the first energy body conversion machine was manufactured.

The machine is five meters tall and weighs about ten tons.

The cabin inside is very narrow, and its main part is various conversion equipment.

Gustav explained: "When a person dies, the energy signal will be absorbed by the device. The cabin contains a living person, and the device will help the energy signal invade the body."

"That is, artificial possession."

At this time, no one cared whether it was humane or not. Chen An only cared whether it was beneficial to himself and the train.

As long as it is beneficial, it is right.

"But the flaws are too obvious. The transformation equipment of the barbaric tribe is very small, which is convenient for the army to carry, while ours is too big."

Gustav said, "This is just a preliminary test piece. Future research goals are to reduce its size, reduce energy consumption, and improve the types of bodies it can parasitize. For example, we could use clones to restore the original image."

Chen An asked, "If we can guarantee 100% energy consumption without loss, can we convert it infinitely?"

"That's the theory, but it's impossible to do. Energy will definitely be lost, it's just a matter of how much. Currently, our equipment has a 50% loss rate, which means it can only be converted once. If the energy signal falls below 50%, it means that memories and emotions are significantly lost, making the conversion useless."

"Furthermore, my research has revealed that this device is actually portable. This means that soldiers can carry it with them, and upon death, their energy bodies can be immediately extracted and parasitized on nearby enemies. However, I estimate that this device is difficult to manufacture and is disposable."

Chen An was amazed: "If it can really be manufactured, the future is immeasurable. By then, our army will not be destroyed, and the enemy will become fewer and fewer. It will be a pure bug-like existence. You guys continue to research, and if you need anything, just tell me, don't be shy."

He then told Zhou Zhenfeng to make this technology the first project and that Super Shield would have to take a back seat.
