According to the information, there are only three possible outcomes for the personnel sent out to collect intelligence: one is no gain, the second is the discovery of a giant insect, and the third is no news at all.

Among the three situations, there were less than ten cases of discovering giant insects, which made people somewhat doubt the information provided by Lin Tao. However, the information about discovering giant insects combined with the other two made Chen Huyuan's heart sink to the bottom.

The cases where there was no harvest at all only accounted for 20%, and there were less than ten cases where giant insects were discovered. In other words, the third situation accounted for nearly 80%!

What does this mean? This means that the Human Interstellar Federation is already full of traces of giant insects.

The giant insect not only has terrifying aggressiveness, but can also cause the signal to disappear. These people must have discovered the giant insect's traces but were unable to escape its pursuit, which led to the disappearance of all signals.

Chen Huyuan's words made Speaker Yue Hong feel depressed. He sighed, "Thirty thousand. We sent out a total of thirty thousand people."

Among the 30,000 people, 80% of them disappeared. Not to mention that Speaker Yue Hong was in a low mood, even Chen Huyuan was in a bad mood.

"What's going on on Mingyuan Star?" Chen Huyuan pondered for a moment and changed the subject.

"According to Lao Kong's response, the production of the brain-powered machine has already begun, and Lin Tao has already given him the information about the brain-powered machine for training." Speaker Yue Hong has always been in contact with Kong Yuming.

Chen Huyuan's expression improved slightly, and he asked again: "Where are the people here?"

"After digesting the information given by Zheng Xun, and with the gene enhancement drugs given by Lin Tao, we can now train 300 to 500 brain mind practitioners every day. Now the number of brain mind practitioners has reached nearly 40,000." Yue Hong responded.

Chen Huyuan nodded, and then sighed inexplicably: "This Lin Tao is really becoming more and more mysterious."

Lin Tao not only possesses the formula for gene-enhancing drugs, but also has the know-how of mind cultivation. And this is not what shocked Chen Huyuan, because Lin Tao also has some contact with the Great Interstellar Federation. In addition, he is also surrounded by the mysterious mind cultivation expert Zhuo, and Zhe from the mechanical race.

This is secondary. The existence of giant insects, extraterrestrial creatures, and brain-thinking organisms all make Chen Huyuan doubt whether Lin Tao is a member of the Human Interstellar Federation.

"It doesn't matter whether he is mysterious or not, as long as he stands on the side of us humans, that's enough." Speaker Yue Hong laughed.

"That's true." Chen Huyuan was relieved immediately: "As for Lin Tao, I will contact him personally. Crocodile, you have to keep an eye on the whereabouts of those giant insects."

…

…

Mingyuan-2, a conference table on the aerospace spacecraft.

Lin Tao, Speaker Kong Yuming, Han Feng, Zheng Tuo, Zheng Xun and others were all seated here.

"These are the starry sky coordinates of those intelligence officers before they disappeared." Kong Yuming used his watch to control the light curtain of the conference table. On a large star map inside, light spots suddenly appeared one after another. These were the last locations of those disappeared intelligence officers.

"Lin Tao, according to Speaker Yue Hong's inference, these places should be where the giant insects are located." Kong Yuming said.

Lin Tao frowned secretly and said nothing.

"There are also these few locations." Kong Yuming quickly tapped out a few more light spots of different colors: "These places are where the giant insects were confirmed. The intelligence personnel who discovered these places were lucky enough to come back because they saw that the giant insects were huddled together, as if they were in a deep sleep, so they did not attack them."

The word "sleeping" made Lin Tao's heart sink. He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you have any recorded video?"

Kong Yuming nodded and quickly pressed a few buttons on his watch, displaying the videos that were transmitted one after another in the form of a light screen.

In the light curtain, those giant insects huddled together, looking like a huge piece of starry sky debris. If you didn’t dare to approach them, you might not be aware of their existence.

As if they realized that these giant insects were not aggressive at all, the intelligence personnel stopped not far from the giant insects and recorded extremely detailed videos.

"Wait." Suddenly, Lin Tao stopped the video and asked Speaker Kong Yuming to rewind the footage, with the picture stopping at one frame.

This frame of the picture records a pile of giant insects huddled together like a football.

Everyone was confused and looked carefully. However, Zheng Tuo, Zheng Xun and others looked for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on. Han Feng frowned and looked back and forth between the light curtain and Lin Tao's face. Finally, he followed Lin Tao's line of sight and fell on the light curtain. Unfortunately, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Lin Tao." Speaker Kong Yuming asked, "Did you find anything?"

Lin Tao did not respond, but raised his watch to contact Zeng. After obtaining two hundred tons of black gold ore, Zhe, like Zhuo, almost disappeared on Mingyuan No. 2 Star and rarely appeared.

"Lin Tao, what's wrong? Didn't I tell you that I want to make memory metal specifically for the mechanical race? Don't disturb me unless it's important?" Zhe's tone was quite dissatisfied, as if he had reached a critical step at this moment.

"Zhen, the Speaker's people have already found the whereabouts of the giant insect..."

Before Lin Tao could finish, Zhe interrupted him and said, "So they found it. You know, those giant insects are definitely not the only ones chasing Wei Feihang."

"Zhen, listen to me." Lin Tao said in a deep voice: "I suspect that the giant insects they encountered have evolved several times, twice more than the batch we encountered last time."

"Several evolutions?" Zhe was stunned.

Lin Tao narrowed his eyes and stared at the giant insects on the light screen: "If the strength of the group we encountered before reached 18, then the strength of these groups should have reached more than 30."

"Impossible!" Zhe was shocked.

Lin Tao didn't say anything else, just sighed.

"Lin Tao, where are you? I'll be there right away." Zhe even put down the work in his hands.

After reporting the address, Lin Tao cut off the communication and his eyes fell on the pile of giant insects on the light curtain again.

"Lin Tao, what's going on?" Han Feng has already cultivated the power of mind, and the value of mind power is extremely sensitive. When he heard Lin Tao mention that the giant insect's strength reached more than 30, his face changed.

Speaker Kong Yuming, Zheng Tuo, Zheng Xun and others were also shocked and looked at Lin Tao.

"This is just my guess. We have to wait for Zhe to come over before we can confirm it." Lin Tao said.

Humans in later generations have a hierarchy for giant insects. Lin Tao doesn't know whether the Great Interstellar Federation also uses this system, but from Zhe's words, it seems that this is not the case.

However, Lin Tao knew that since later humans were able to know this set of levels, it was most likely because of the three-eyed people.

The giant insects they encountered before had a strength of 18 points, which is an F-level giant insect in the level of later humans. However, the group of giant insects that Lin Tao saw in front of him had definitely passed this stage, and even the E-level stage, and were promoted to D-level giant insects.

In other words, it is a terrifying insect whose brain power exceeds 30.

Upon hearing this, Speaker Kong Yuming and others looked at each other in surprise.

Zhe was very fast and arrived at the conference room in less than ten minutes. After arriving, Zhe looked at the picture on the light curtain and saw the giant insects huddled together. With a few hissing sounds, the core sphere suddenly released a rapid light.

"They are evolving." said Zhe.

"Evolution?" Speaker Kong Yuming wondered.

"Lin Tao, didn't you tell me that the G-level and H-level giant insects are still in the larval stage?" He looked at Lin Tao fiercely.

Lin Tao nodded. He had already told Zhe about the classification of giant insects, and made it understand that G and H levels belonged to the larval stage of giant insects, and only after reaching F level would it enter the adult stage of giant insects.

In the larvae state, each level is 5 points of strength, and in the adult state, it is based on 10.

"After the giant insects have eaten to a certain extent, they will evolve. Although we in the Great Interstellar Federation do not classify giant insects into grades, through observation, we define their strength by the number of times they evolve. Grade H is the first evolution, Grade G is the second evolution, and Grade F is the third evolution of the giant insect, which is the stage when the larva evolves into an adult."

"When the giant insect reaches the fifth evolution, it will have a strength of 30-40." Zhe said. This actually coincides with the D level mentioned by Lin Tao.

The reason why Zhe hurried over after hearing Lin Tao's words was that after two hundred tons of black gold ore were completely made into memory metal exclusively for the mechanical family, the maximum power it could restore was only 35 points.

The strength of a D-level giant insect is between 30 and 40. If it is a giant insect that has just evolved, Zhe may still be its opponent. But once the strength of the giant insects reaches 35 points, Zhe can only escape.

"If they evolve successfully, won't we humans be a match for the giant insects?" Han Feng took a deep breath.

Chairman Kong Yuming frowned and said nothing. Zheng Tuo and Zheng Xun looked at each other and their expressions suddenly changed.

The core sphere of Zhe kept flashing without making any sound.

After a while.

Lin Tao turned to look at Speaker Kong Yuming: "Speaker Kong, what stage have you reached in the training of the new aircraft? Can we start research and development?"

Kong Yuming shook his head: "At this stage, they are still digesting the knowledge transmitted by brain thoughts."

Brain transmission? The biggest difference between brain-powered machines and regular machines is brain-powered transmission. However, once this problem is solved, they will be able to enter the research and development stage.

"Chairman Kong, if the situation allows, you should speed up the training process immediately." Lin Tao said in a deep voice: "We need to develop a new type of machine that can greatly increase human strength."

Kong Yuming nodded, and without waiting for the meeting to end, he raised his watch and issued new training orders.
