"Haha, I'm just giving an example. If you can't get the power of the star core, can you return that ball of memory metal to me?" Zhe also laughed.

Even the most powerful mechanical beings may not be able to obtain the power of star cores. After all, it is the direct extraction of energy from the planet, and it cannot be done without a certain level of brain power.

When seeing a mind practitioner who has reached that level, the strong men of the Mechanical Clan would have to turn away, so how could they come forward to ask for the power of the star core?

Mentioning that ball of memory metal again? Lin Tao couldn't help but frown.

"Lin Tao, the memory metal of our mechanical race is quite special. It allows us to absorb cosmic energy faster in the universe. As long as I have it, I can recover quickly. Otherwise, I can't help you much in the future." Zhe paused for a moment and explained: "When we mechanical people come here, we need energy to operate."

Zhe had always been keeping an eye on that ball of memory metal. He thought that with human creativity, perhaps he could create memory metal with similar functions.

However, through continuous surveillance, Zhe discovered that humans can indeed produce new memory metals, but they are not the memory metals used exclusively by their mechanical race. They are completely different things, so he made this request to Lin Tao again.

Sure enough, this guy has been monitoring that ball of memory metal. Lin Tao's eyes flashed a few times.

After a moment of silence, Lin Tao nodded and said, "Go back to Mingyuan Star and I will return the memory metal to you."

"Lin Tao, this is what you said, don't forget it." Suddenly, Zeng became excited.

"What about these two hundred human-brain mechas..." Lin Tao asked, blinking.

"No problem, I'll take care of it." Zhe almost patted his chest to promise. Feeling Lin Tao's half-smile, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said shamelessly: "I wanted to save some energy before. Now that you have agreed to return the memory metal to me, I can recover in a very short time. Lin Tao, don't forget this."

Lin Tao nodded.

Next, as if to show off or to take credit, the monster destroyed the human-brain mecha at a much faster speed.

Ten crosses... twenty crosses... fifty crosses...

It took only seven minutes for fifty human brain mechas to be deployed, which was much faster than before.

Lin Tao saw it and smiled without saying anything.

whoosh whoosh whoosh!

For the last human brain mecha, Zhe did not consider saving and shot out four beams of light at once.

Seeing the landing points of the four beams of light, Lin Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He felt that Zhe had concealed a lot of his strength, but he didn't expect it to be hidden so deeply.

If I find an opportunity in the future, I will definitely give it a hard blow.

Of these four light beams, three fell on different gaps of the mecha, blasting out the metal shell wrapping the human brain, before being directly pierced through by the last light beam.

It can be seen that Zeng had already discovered several weaknesses of the human brain mecha during his continuous attacks. Lin Tao still feels inferior to him in this ability.

However, this is not the time to worry about it.

"Zheng, what's the current situation on Zheng Xun's end?" Lin Tao asked.

"We have already received 1,672 spaceships. Zheng Xun and his men have already entered the last few. Once they have dealt with the people on board, we will have completely taken over this fleet."

Just as Zhe finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and continued, "Lin Tao, I will now devote some energy to bringing those spaceships closer to Mingzhou Star. You find some people to control these spaceships. I can't control them for a long time."

Lin Tao nodded.

Since Zheng Xun and the others had already entered the giant starry sky ship, there was no need for him to go over there. With a loud hum, the Extreme Wind Phoenix, under his control, started its engine and returned to the high-speed ship.

At the same time, he also turned on the watch signal and picked out Zheng Tuo's signal from it.

After two beeps, the communication was connected.

"Lin Tao, how long will you stay on Mingzhou Star?" Zheng Tuo's feminine voice came from the communication.

"We have to stay here for a while." Lin Tao nodded, and then stated his purpose: "Zheng Tuo, how many spaceship crew members have you trained now?"

"What?" Zheng Tuo was puzzled.

"We have captured a lot of giant spaceships on Mingzhou Star. You should send someone over to take them over now." Lin Tao said.

"How many are there?" Zheng Tuo's voice suddenly became high-pitched and sharp. He was surprised and extremely surprised.

Zheng Xun is determined to develop Mingyuan Star into a powerful force. For a powerful force, the more giant starships the better.

In the battle of Mingyuan Star, Lin Tao defeated the giant starry sky warships led by the Liu family and captured many ships from them. Unfortunately, although these ships surrendered to them at the time, in the end almost all of them took advantage of their unpreparedness and quietly left.

Now, there are less than ten ships left on Mingyuan Star. The one that Zheng Xun drove out was the giant starship specially used by the Interstellar Federation that Zheng Kaichou had withdrawn at that time.

"It's a fleet that lost its flagship..."

Before Lin Tao finished speaking, Zheng Tuo sighed and said with great regret: "Alas, the flagship is lost?"

Zheng Tuo was also very clear about the role of the flagship. In this way, the strength of that fleet would definitely be greatly reduced.

Lin Tao laughed: "The loss of the flagship is not a big deal. I have captured another high-speed ship that can become the flagship. Using it as the flagship of this fleet may improve the strength of this fleet."

"Oh?" Zheng Tuo was surprised. His heart moved and he asked quickly, "How many troops are there in this fleet?"

"Two thousand." Lin Tao said.

"Only two thousand? Well, I'll send someone over... over..." Before he could finish his words, Zheng Tuo seemed to be a rooster with its neck pinched. His originally feminine voice became sharp and harsh, like scraping on frosted glass.

"Lin Tao, what did you just say? How many ships were there?"

"There are two thousand ships in total. Send someone to take them over immediately," said Lin Tao.

hiss--

A long, lingering gasp came from the watch. Zheng Tuo was obviously also shocked by this number. He originally thought that Lin Tao had captured at most a hundred ships, but now, two thousand spaceships...

I can’t imagine it.

Zheng Tuo was a little confused: "Lin Tao, are there really two thousand spaceships, and one of them is a high-speed ship that can be the flagship?"

"Why?" Lin Tao laughed, "Are my words so untrustworthy?"

“No, no, no.” Zheng Tuo paused and smiled bitterly: “It’s just that I still can’t accept it. Lin Tao, two thousand spaceships are too many. With our current capabilities, we can only receive one thousand spaceships at most. We are a little short of manpower.”

"Not enough personnel?" Lin Tao frowned, "Can't Ming Yuanxing find anyone?"

"Lin Tao, I have restored the Mecha Academy on Mingyuan Star, as well as some special academies. In order to train personnel for a thousand spaceships, we almost pulled out all the people from these academies."

"At most one thousand. If we forcibly pull back the remaining giant spaceships, in their current state, they will probably be treated as space junk and thrown into the space." Zheng Tuo was helpless. He didn't want to waste them, but he couldn't consider the situation.

"One thousand ships? Okay, you arrange the people here immediately, and I will let Zheng Xun pick out the one thousand ships in the best condition." Lin Tao felt helpless. He had finally received two thousand giant starry sky ships. Funding was not a problem, but he was faced with the problem of shortage of manpower.

"Lin Tao, you have now become a large and powerful family in the Interstellar Federation. When are we going to take over some new planets to expand our sphere of influence?" Zheng Tuo asked.

One or two planets are not enough to expand the power.

What's more, Lin Tao has already obtained the approval of the Interstellar Federation Parliament, and it is time to expand his influence. There are many planets outside that want to join them, just waiting for Lin Tao's words.

If we can recruit a few more planets, not to mention the ship crew, even the production line of the giant starship can be built by ourselves.

These are the basis of power.

"Expand our influence?" Lin Tao raised his hand and gently rubbed his temple. "There's no rush for this. First, pay attention to the inhabited planets near us. If we really want to expand our influence, we can only start from nearby. The planets should not be too far apart. Otherwise, they will be disconnected. Once they fall into the hands of the Star Pirates, it will only discourage those planetary personnel who join us."

Large-scale space pirates dare to attack a planet. If the planet is too far away, they will not be able to respond in the first instant of the space pirates' attack.

"Lin Tao, I understand. When it comes to planets joining, I will definitely give priority to nearby planets." Having said that, Zheng Tuo hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Lin Tao, regarding the matter of the eight powerful forces and the Star Pirates, what do you think will be the outcome?"

Lin Tao raised his eyebrows: "Are you planning to take action now?"

"Lin Tao, the third speaker has contacted me. He asked us to send some Extreme Wind Phoenixes to help. I promised two thousand Extreme Wind Phoenixes, but after these two thousand Extreme Wind Phoenixes are sent out, we still have a lot of bodies in our hands, enough to deal with the troops of several planets." Zheng Tuo said.

There are several inhabited planets of powerful forces near Mingyuan Star, and these planets, like Mingyuan Star, are located in remote areas. It is estimated that even if they take action, the powerful forces may not come to take them back, which is considered a bargain for them.

What's more, given Mingyuan Star's current situation, expanding their influence during the war is the best option. Otherwise, they can only invite space exploration teams to explore new planets outside.

Lin Tao also understood and nodded immediately: "I'll leave this to you. Well, this war will take a while. Wait for the thousand spaceships to return before making any arrangements."

"Okay." Zheng Tuo was immediately excited when he got Lin Tao's agreement. This was his chance to show off.

After the communication ended, Lin Tao looked at the huge spaceships outside and frowned: "Can only one thousand be left?"

This is a bit troublesome. After all, it took so much effort to capture two thousand giant starships, but now we can only give up half of them. It is really a waste.

Back on the high-speed ship, Lin Tao headed straight for the bridge.

"Brother Lin."

“Brother Lin!”

…

The staff on the ship put down their work one by one, stood up and greeted Lin Tao's arrival.
