Lin Tao was stunned for a moment when the signal from Wei Feihang was suddenly interrupted.

"not good!"

After a moment, he suddenly realized what was happening, and after a scream, he quickly called back. He had only said half of his words, and more importantly, this half of his words might cause Wei Feihang to misunderstand.

Beep~beep~beep~ As if due to strong interference, the signal could not be connected.

Lin Tao stood up suddenly, his face changed drastically. At this stage, the aircraft developed by him, Tong Xuelin and Peng Haokong, could be said to be half completed or 80% completed in terms of percentage.

After solving the problem of the conductivity of brain wave fluctuations, the machine was able to attack smoothly. However, the ultra-small engine that serves as the weapon of this machine has not yet been produced in proportion.

With the knowledge and information from later generations, the engine production was not difficult, but the most troublesome thing was to scale down the engine while keeping the performance of the engine unchanged.

At present, Lin Tao and others are stuck in this difficult situation.

Although the machine can be dispatched without weapons, those giant insects are not monsters that can be dealt with by ordinary weapons. Once they meet, the invisible will become their target.

Therefore, even though Tong Xuelin and Peng Haokong believed that the machine was 80% complete, in Lin Tao's eyes, it was not even half complete.

We’re in big trouble!

Lin Tao didn't know how much of his words had fallen into the ears of Wei Feihang and others, but the first half of his words would definitely make Wei Feihang lure the giant insect to Mingyuan Star.

Once the giant insect arrives at Mingyuan Star, you don’t need to think about it, you can guess what the consequences will be.

Without weapons capable of defeating these giant insects, they will evolve through constant gnawing and may even form a giant insect nest. By then, not only distant stars but even several nearby solar systems will suffer.

Since he couldn't contact Wei Feihang, Lin Tao hurried back to the laboratory.

At this moment, Tong Xuelin and Peng Haokong were still studying the solution for the scaling engine. It must be said that the two were shocked by the idea proposed by Lin Tao.

The engine can actually be used as a weapon! As you can imagine, once this idea is proposed in the Interstellar Federation, I'm afraid many mecha designers will be shocked.

At first, the two found it hard to believe, but what was even harder to believe was that Lin Tao had also designed a machine that used brain waves to operate.

When this machine was just completed, both of them were skeptical, but at this time, the brain practitioners trained by Zheng Xun had begun to appear in large numbers.

After seeing the power of mind fluctuations, the two changed their minds. Although they also wanted to join in the mind training immediately, Zheng Xun made it clear that only those who were selected could practice first, which made them temporarily give up this idea.

However, they also understood that since Lin Tao was promoting mind cultivation, they would definitely have a chance to be selected. Right now, the only thing they needed to do was to calm down and continue to improve their bodies.

The test of the machine went extremely smoothly. Not only was Lin Tao able to drive it smoothly, but even those mecha pilots who had just realized the power of mind were able to drive it. This gave the two of them a great boost of confidence.

However, the downscaling engine still makes it difficult for them.

At this time, seeing Lin Tao coming, the two of them quickly stood up and greeted him.

"How's the progress?" Lin Tao asked.

"Brother Lin, this is too difficult." Peng Haokong sighed and shook his head repeatedly.

There is no way. Lin Tao's requirements are too high. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to scale down the engine. However, once it is scaled down, the performance is only about 30%-40% of the original. But Lin Tao actually requires this engine to maintain 80% of its performance after scaling down.

The difficulty is as high as designing a completely new engine.

"Time is running out. Put down your work and follow me." Lin Tao said and went straight to the workshop.

Wei Feihang's giant starry sky ship is not far from Mingyuan Star. If he uses the secondary space-time channel, it is estimated that he can arrive there in two or three hours at most. By then, if he can't take out weapons, Mingyuan Star will only fall into a catastrophic disaster.

Lin Tao had several design drawings of future weapon engines in his mind, but those designs required some special materials. Without these materials, even if he forcibly produced a similar engine, it would probably not be able to be used multiple times.

At the same time, Lin Tao also planned to train Tong Xuelin and Peng Haokong.

Unfortunately, given the current time, Lin Tao can't wait any longer. He plans to use the materials developed by Lu Xuewen to piece together some engines. Even if they are only used a few times, they can still help solve the crises from the giant insects.

Lu Xuewen was very cooperative and immediately had the materials brought to the workshop.

"Dean Lu, how is the progress of Zhe's special memory metal?" Seeing Lu Xuewen coming in person, Lin Tao asked casually.

Zhe has black gold ore, but the amount of special memory metal it needs is too large, so it needs Lu Xuewen's help to collect a large amount of metal.

"Lin Tao, stop teasing me. What kind of department head are you talking about?" Lu Xuewen is still the department head of the First College of Mingyuan Star, but in front of Lin Tao, the lord of Mingyuan Star, he is nothing.

“As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a teacher.” As a martial artist, Lin Tao attached great importance to the master-disciple relationship, which deeply moved Lu Xuewen.

Back to the point, when mentioning the special memory metal, Lu Xuewen's eyes lit up. Even he did not expect that the special memory metal developed by the Mechanical Clan on their own would produce an unbelievable scene under the control of the Mechanical Clan.

"Lin Tao, those special memory metals..."

Without waiting for him to finish his words, Lin Tao waved his hands and asked directly: "Dean Lu, how much have you produced now?"

Being stopped by Lin Tao made Lu Xuewen feel a little disappointed, but he still replied: "The quantity is too large. With our current conditions, we can only produce two tons for the time being."

The special memory metal is made by mixing black gold ore into the original memory metal. Lu Xuewen didn't know the process because this was the last step completed by Zhe himself. However, it is not an easy task to produce a large amount of memory metal. After all, it requires a lot of raw materials.

However, this kind of material is extremely scarce on Mingyuan Star. The amount of a giant starry sky ship like the one mentioned by Zhe would require at least ten thousand tons. Two tons would not even be enough for an aerospace spacecraft.

"What materials are needed?" Hearing the quantity of two tons, Lin Tao frowned secretly. He had seen the true form of Zhe, and the special memory metal left by the Etna people amounted to at least hundreds of thousands of tons.

Two tons, I wonder what kind of strength Zhe can exert.

Lu Xuewen immediately reported a long list of raw materials. While listening, Lin Tao quickly recorded it on his watch. After Lu Xuewen finished speaking, he immediately passed the recorded information to the Speaker.

I believe that when the Grand Speaker sees this list, he will try his best to help them collect it.

After the battle in the Scorpio solar system and the news report by the Grand Speaker, the eight major powerful forces seemed to have disappeared overnight and were no longer seen.

Their disappearance did not mean they retreated back to their territory, but rather they completely abandoned the territory as well. The entire family simply disappeared.

The disappearance of these powerful forces forced the Grand Chancellor to completely take back all the planets originally distributed to the powerful forces without even using a giant spaceship.

This made the Grand Speaker Chen Huyuan extremely confused.

Lin Tao understood what was going on, but he didn't feel like reminding him for the time being.

Since the three-eyed people have thrown out the giant insect, they must let the powerful forces make a choice, whether to follow them blindly or make peace with the parliament.

It is obvious that those powerful forces chose the former, so they disappeared directly, because the appearance of giant insects means a crisis for the human interstellar federation.

Without having to think about it, Lin Tao understood that these powerful forces must have been concentrated at the Star Pirates' Headquarters.

Now, although there has been no news of giant insects appearing in other places, Lin Tao thinks that this is only a matter of time. Therefore, Lin Tao needs to fight those red giant insects to find out the differences between these giant insects and the giant insects that will appear in later generations. Only then can he propose a better battle plan to the Grand Speaker.

However, with over a hundred giant insects, Lin Tao was afraid that he would not be able to kill many if he used weapons with limited uses. Then he thought of Zhe. Since Zhe could see the strength of those giant insects, he should have a strategy to deal with them.

"Zheng, come here." After Lin Tao contacted Zheng using the watch, he immediately led Tong Xuelin and Peng Haokong to start making the engine.

Although the resources at hand are limited, Lin Tao already has a plan in mind.

With his hands moving very fast, one part after another appeared in Lin Tao's hands and was produced quickly. In less than half an hour, Lin Tao had assembled all the parts produced.

The final product was a small engine only twenty centimeters long.

Looking at this engine, Tong Xuelin and Peng Haokong frowned, because they couldn't tell what was different about this engine.

There was no time to test the engine, so Lin Tao immediately ordered: "You two install the engine immediately."

Tong Xuelin was shocked: "Lin Tao, the engine has not been tested yet..."

"No need to test. The engine's performance is about 50% of its original performance." Lin Tao quickly reported the engine's performance, leaving Tong Xuelin and the other man almost stunned on the spot. Although they still wanted to test the engine with the attitude of a mecha designer, under Lin Tao's urging, the two quickly installed the engine to the designated position on the fuselage.

At this time, Zhe had also arrived at the workshop, but because its body was covered with two tons of special memory metal, its movements were extremely slow in the narrow space.

Looking at the creature wriggling like a worm, Lin Tao was stunned for a moment. Tong Xuelin and Peng Haokong were even more stunned like wood after seeing the large mass of flowing liquid.

The monster, with a huge body, squeezed into the workshop, occupying almost one-third of the space. After entering, he shouted loudly: "Lin Tao, what do you want from me?"
