The 30-second countdown on Liu Zhengxi's side had just started, and Zhe had already noticed it.

"Lin Tao, it seems that a rather special situation has occurred." Zhe said in a serious tone.

"What's going on?"

At this moment, Lin Tao was still fighting with those human-brain mechas. He was extremely nervous and it was difficult for him to concentrate. This was the first time he faced such a situation since he came to this space and time.

Zhe didn't say anything. With a hiss, a small light curtain rose up beside Lin Tao. On the light curtain, there was a 30-second countdown.

"That is..." Lin Tao glanced at it and immediately frowned.

"It's the self-destruct switch of the starry sky battleship." Zhe said.

"Is anyone awake?" Lin Tao's face darkened.

"It's the flagship at the back." Zhe said. In fact, when Liu Zhengxi woke up, Zhe had not noticed it yet. He was multitasking and had been fighting beside Lin Tao. He could not pay attention to the personnel status of each starry sky giant ship. It was not until Liu Zhengxi checked the status of the starry sky and called up the system of the starry sky giant ship that Zhe discovered it.

However, Liu Zhengxi only looked at it for a while before turning on the ship's self-destruct switch, which was completely beyond Zhe's expectations. The flagship's self-destruct program was separated from the ship's system. Without entering the ship himself, Zhe could not control it.

In other words, Zhe can only watch the flagship self-destruct and has no way to do anything.

"Flagship?" Lin Tao frowned. In a fleet, the ship that can become the flagship is usually the one with the best performance in the entire fleet.

If the flagship explodes, even if Lin Tao captures all the remaining ships, the fleet's combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least one tenth.

Of course, if Zheng Xun had taken over the flagship immediately at the beginning, this situation might not have occurred.

Lin Tao would not blame Zheng Xun. If they could have taken him down in the first place, they would never have waited until now.

"Are only the people on the flagship awake?" Lin Tao asked.

"Well, it seems to be the captain. After he started the self-destruct program, he wanted to use the ship's system to leave, but I blocked it." Zhe said. It planned to keep Liu Zhengxi on the ship to see if he would forcibly stop the self-destruct device.

Unfortunately, fifteen seconds had already passed. Although Liu Zhengxi was anxious, he had no intention of stopping. As a last resort, Zeng informed Lin Tao of the situation.

"Except the captain, everyone else on the ship was attracted by Lu Mengchen's singing." After a pause, Zeng explained again to prevent Lin Tao from blaming Lu Mengchen.

Lin Tao naturally understood what it meant and was speechless. He had never thought of blaming anyone.

Now that it has happened, what we need to think about now is how to make a decision.

"Zheng, can you control the ship?" Lin Tao asked suddenly.

"I have gained control of the ship, but the self-destruct device of this flagship is quite special and completely separated from the system. It cannot be shut down unless I can enter the ship." Zhe said.

Lin Tao also had some knowledge of ships, and naturally understood the specialness of being a flagship. He nodded, calmly dodged several human brain mechas that flew over, and said, "Since the flagship has already started self-destruction, we can't stop it. You should try to keep this flagship away from the fleet to prevent its self-destruction from affecting the other ships."

"I'm already controlling it to move away from the fleet." Zhe responded.

There was no need for Lin Tao to speak, as Zhe had already done so after realizing that the self-destruct device had been activated. As a member of the mechanical clan, he naturally understood the overall decision.

"Okay, no need to worry about it anymore."

Lin Tao immediately put the matter of the flagship out of his mind. Although the flagship's self-destruction would reduce the strength of the entire fleet, Lin Tao was not a greedy person. Being able to seize a large number of ships was enough for him.

What's more, Lin Tao has now seized the high-speed ship of the Three-Eyed Tribe, which is a ship with stronger strength than the flagship of this fleet. This high-speed ship alone has made Lin Tao satisfied. As for the fleet, it was completely unexpected.

30 seconds, it goes by in a flash.

Boom!

A huge firework exploded in the universe.

Lin Tao had already made up his mind about the flagship's self-destruction, so he ignored it and continued to fight with the human-brain mechas. Although these human-brain mechas were released by the flagship, without the flagship, they became more manic and seemed to want to destroy everything.

Looking at the flagship that suddenly exploded, Zheng Xun, who had just defeated another giant starry sky ship, suddenly became gloomy.

"Self-destruction?"

"That ship... seems to be the flagship?"

"Hiss! The flagship exploded. It seems like a big loss..."

…

In the mecha communication channel, some exclamations of the Extreme Wind Phoenix mecha masters were heard.

After hearing these words, Zheng Xun's face became even uglier. He naturally understood the importance of the flagship in the fleet.

If they could have been faster, if they had been able to capture the ship earlier, this situation would definitely not have happened. Zheng Xun squeezed the control lever tightly with both hands, almost breaking it.

In this battle, he had everything going for him, including timing, location, and people. Almost the entire fleet was waiting for him to seize it. Now that this had happened, Zheng Xun couldn't help but blame himself.

This was the task Lin Tao assigned to him, which showed his trust in him. But now, it had turned out like this. Zheng Xun felt resentful in his heart.

Lu Mengchen's help, Lord Zeng's action, and Lin Tao's personal efforts to deal with those mechas comparable to the SSS-level were all to allow them to receive this batch of ships more smoothly. However, the flagship's self-detonation caused them to lose at least one-tenth of their results.

The flagship of a fleet can exert at least 10% or even 50% of its strength.

"How many more spaceships are there?"

Zheng Xun asked in a deep voice.

"Captain...we have now received 1,122 ships, with 877 left." The staff member in charge of monitoring reported, but his confidence was less than before.

The flagship's self-destruction also affected their morale.

Zheng Xun was startled, and immediately realized the blow that the flagship had dealt to morale. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "Okay, no need to worry about the flagship. Let's speed up and continue to receive the remaining spaceships."

"Hurry up, I don't want to see something like this again." After a pause, Zheng Xun said in a deep voice again.

"Captain, we understand."

"Captain, I will show you our strength."

"Captain, why don't we have a competition to see who can receive more spaceships."

…

The Jifeng Phoenix Mecha Division immediately regained its morale, which made Zheng Xun feel slightly better.

The self-destruction of the flagship made Lin Tao respond more calmly, and also made the mecha technicians of Jifeng Phoenix more proactive.

Recording studio.

Zhuo's stone ball seemed motionless, but it was always paying attention to Lu Mengchen's condition.

At this time, three hours had passed since the beginning, and Lu Mengchen had been singing in his mind for three hours.

"Sure enough, her natural mind power is much stronger than that of ordinary mind practitioners." Zhuo thought in his heart: "Perhaps, letting her join in is also a good choice."

As for Lin Tao.

It has to be said that Lin Tao also has certain innate advantages in brain thinking, that is, he has a stronger foundation than the average brain thinking practitioner. Although it is not clear why Lin Tao has such a talent, if compared with a natural brain thinking practitioner like Lu Mengchen, he is still slightly inferior.

If Guda's Shadow hadn't spoken, Zhuo Ke wouldn't have pointed the finger.

"Are you now called the Shadow of Guda? When will you be able to return to your original appearance?"

Thinking of this, Zhuo's stone ball moved a little, as if it wanted to rise into the air, but when he thought of mobilizing the power of the star core before, he couldn't help but calm down again.

"The Shadow of Guda will recover, but what about me? Will I recover as well?"

"Three-eyed people! Haha, three-eyed people, how ironic..."

"The Human Interstellar Federation... The Great Interstellar Federation... I never thought that the three-eyed people would create one civilization after another..."

Zhuo's stone ball is filled with thoughts.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Zhuo's stone ball moved violently, and all his thoughts fell on Lu Mengchen. It just realized that there seemed to be a slight change in Lu Mengchen's mental power, which was a sign that it was about to be completely exhausted.

"Are you almost done?" Zhuo said nothing. With a buzzing sound, a huge brain power emerged from the stone ball and covered Lu Mengchen.

In an instant, Lu Mengchen's condition seemed to be relieved, and he was able to return to his original state and continue singing in his mind.

At this moment, Lu Mengchen dared not be distracted. She didn't know how long she could hold on. She could feel the sudden and powerful thoughts. It was Master Zhuo's thoughts.

"When will I be able to possess such a powerful mind?"

Feeling this tremendous force, Lu Mengchen's pursuit of strength suddenly arose, which made her persist in singing in her mind.

"Lin Tao, there are only two hundred planes left." Zhe was distracted repeatedly. Although he was a member of the mechanical clan, he seemed to be reaching his limit.

Lin Tao noticed its abnormality and asked, "Can we continue?"

"Half an hour. I can only help you for another half an hour." Zeng said after analyzing.

If they insist on doing so, it's fine. However, they will no longer be able to control the other giant starship. Due to the large amount of calculations, even the mechanical race will lose a lot of energy.

"Lin Tao, after we go back this time, you must help me replenish some energy." Zhe said repeatedly.

"Energy?" Lin Tao was stunned: "You can't use our energy?"

"Your energy?" Zhe sneered, "Lin Tao, you humans have strong creativity, but those energy sources are not enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of our mechanical race. Instead of using those energy to replenish, it is better to wait for recovery in the universe."

The mechanical race usually replenishes their energy by absorbing energy from the universe to recover.

"Then what kind of energy do you need to replenish?" Lin Tao asked.

"Well, if there is the power of star core, that would be great." Zhe said shamelessly.

This guy actually wanted to use the energy of the star core. Lin Tao couldn't help but be speechless. You know, he doesn't know much about this kind of energy, and he has only seen it twice now. Where can he get this kind of energy? He can't let Zhuo mobilize the energy of the star core to replenish it.

What's more, even if Lin Tao had this idea, Zhuo might not necessarily take action.
