There are many other things to do.

However, the prerequisite for doing other things is that the Queen of Insects can first break through the defense line of the mechanical race and successfully reach the planet.

So Chen Ming didn't consider other things for the time being, but directly began to try to let the Queen of Insects enter the planet.

It is absolutely impossible to enter the planet directly and openly like the Queen of Insects did in the past.

The mechanical clan here has more complete security measures than the mechanical clan controlled by Chen Ming.

If Chen Ming dared to do this, it would definitely lead to martial law by the mechanical clan in the entire city, and they would not stop until all the Zerg-related things he threw onto the planet were completely cleaned up.

But the mechanical race here is still in the early stages of development, so they also have some shortcomings.

For example, the defense against the space environment was not so detailed that Chen Ming's afterglow individual could drive the ship close to the middle of the galaxy.

At the same time, the range of influence that the mechanical race can now exert on the planet seems to be limited to the area located in the space orbit, covering about one-fifth of the planet's equatorial orbit.

Corresponding to the surface of the planet, it is far less than one-fifth of the planet's surface area.

There are still large areas beyond the control of the Mechanical Clan.

At least that's what it seems like.

So Chen Ming thought of a way to take advantage of these two shortcomings.

He controlled the highest point to scan the surrounding environment and found an area with dense distribution of many asteroids with a diameter of about 100 meters.

Then, he took out a few of them.

He wants to drop meteorites on the planet of the mechanical race.

As long as the orbit is designed well, the act of dropping a meteorite will look like a normal meteorite to people who don't know the specific situation, and it will most likely not be discovered.

It is easy to capture a few asteroids at the highest point.

With the help of superhumans to calculate the trajectory, it is easy to drop the asteroid onto the planet accurately in a reasonable manner.

Chen Ming also thought carefully about the location of the drop, and decided to drop it on the other side of the planet where the mechanical city is opposite to the center of the earth.

At the same time, it is best not to drop asteroids too many times.

A bunch of asteroids suddenly hit the same location from all directions. Anyone with a brain could see that there was something wrong.

So Chen Ming's plan was to create signs of a meteorite shower.

It is very normal for a planet without an atmosphere in the universe to be hit by a shower of meteorites that appear out of nowhere.

As long as we prepare more asteroids of different sizes and throw them out in batches at about the same time, with one batch following another, this will make things logically reasonable.

Then, as long as there are no other abnormalities, we can test the reaction of the mechanical family.

See if they can detect the asteroid impact outside their control area as Chen Ming speculated.

Although the Zenith is an exploration ship, it still has the ability to capture asteroids.

The collection work was completed easily.

And based on extraordinary calculations, some of these meteorites were thrown towards the planet of the Mechanical Clan.

After waiting for the meteorite to fly a long distance.

The first batch of seven or eight asteroids of different sizes thrown out by Chen Ming finally flew smoothly to the vicinity of the target planet, were captured by the planet's gravity, and finally hit the other end of the planet.

The mechanical race did not take any defensive measures.

I don't know whether they detected them during the scan and ignored them because they thought they were no threat, or whether they simply ignored these stones.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, the next batch will definitely know which one it is.

After the first batch of meteorites landed, the second batch of asteroids thrown by Chen Ming arrived near the target planet almost closely following the first batch and were also captured by gravity.

This time, Chen Ming brought some fragments of the queen worm's shell and some growths from the queen worm's cocoon to two of the asteroids.

Chen Ming even used psychic energy to create some commonly used anti-scanning materials on these two asteroids, which were relatively small and had diameters of about thirty to forty meters and contained the Queen's body tissues.

And this time, when Chen Ming was observing the situation with a little nervousness in his heart.

He found that the mechanical race was still the same as before, without any special movements.

These mechanical creatures really seemed unaware of the existence of the asteroid. The mechanical creatures in the entire city were not at all as active as they were when the Queen of Insects had landed on another planet.

The Queen's body tissues landed smoothly on the planet.

Although Chen Ming is not yet able to directly use his psychic power to transform into a complete queen insect, his biological skills have not yet reached that level.

But with just this little bit of body tissue, he can already produce Zerg energy crystals in batches on the Mechanical Race's planet.

As long as the queen is in place, all that remains is to push forward with large numbers of troops.

The first step of the plan is half completed.

After the second batch of asteroids carrying the Queen's body tissues landed, which were used to test the mechanical race's control over the planet.

Chen Ming also tested that the mechanical race's development progress on the planet was really very slow, and their control over it could be said to be completely inadequate.

This seems somewhat inconsistent with the situation where the mechanical race is developing a new colony in a new location.

Logically speaking, if he was a member of the mechanical race, he would definitely increase his investment in the developed planet to the greatest extent possible as soon as he first started to develop it.

Not to mention getting it done in one go, at least the security measures in the developed areas must be done well, and all dangers within the galaxy must be dealt with.

And install a large number of fixed-point observation equipment to nip all dangers in the bud.

The mechanical race opened up new territories, but did not invest enough in the new areas.

This seems a bit wrong.

But there is no reason for the mechanical race to treat this place as a trap or something.

Who could come here to cause trouble in such a place in the rear of the mechanical race? Moreover, Chen Ming and the mechanical race had never crossed paths before, and it was impossible for the mechanical race to have predicted that Chen Ming would come.

Could it be that for some reason the mechanical race delayed the development of this place? Chen Ming couldn't figure it out, but he had to do it.

He did not drop the third batch of asteroids directly.

Because among this batch of asteroids, Chen Ming stuffed one of them with the body of the Queen Insect that had been left at the highest point, and of course he also created a layer of anti-scanning material on the outside.

Therefore, there is no certainty whether the second batch of asteroids can successfully pass through the mechanical defense.

Chen Ming couldn't risk losing a Queen Insect shell that couldn't be replaced during her hibernation by throwing the Queen Insect up there.

We have to wait at least until the second batch of asteroids arrive and the test results come out before we can try again.

So after confirming that the mechanical race did not find any traces of the Queen Worm on the second batch of asteroids.

Chen Ming also took the opportunity to throw out the third batch of asteroids carrying the Queen Worm's shells.

After a period of time similar to the previous one, it arrived near the planet, was captured by gravity, and successfully crashed to the ground.

The mechanical race also did not move, and did not notice what was in the meteorite that had just fallen.

When the smoke and dust from the meteorite falls back to the ground under the action of gravity.

In this area that had been smashed into pits, only some meteorite fragments that were shattered by the impact remained.

Although there is no consciousness in the body of the Queen Worm, it has various basic organs to maintain the survival of the body, and some moving limbs that are inconsistent with the Queen Worm's body.

So Chen Ming personally controlled the body to dig underground, hid deep underground in a place where it would not be discovered at all, and lay dormant.

Here the first step of preparation is completed.

The Queen Insect's consciousness can be transferred to the empty shell at any time with the help of Chen Ming.

And Chen Ming can also transfer some energy crystals produced by the energy crystal insects bred by the Queen Insect to the body during the period before the Queen Insect wakes up from the cocoon.

Once the queen insect is formed, you can immediately start using these energy crystals to breed new insects.

Although the preparations went smoothly.

But it was so smooth that Chen Ming had to consider whether the mechanical race had noticed it and were just pretending not to notice, or whether they had some deeper plan that he could not understand.

Moreover, during the entire process of throwing the asteroid just now, Chen Ming was thinking, is the mechanical race's defense against space really so weak?

So Chen Ming pushed the remaining asteroids he had just collected and those that had not been thrown away to the vicinity of the mechanical city on the planet, instead of deliberately avoiding the city.

Since the mechanical race can't even find the Queen of Insects, and the Queen of Insects has already successfully landed, Chen Ming doesn't mind doing something a little risky.

And this time, Chen Ming finally saw the actions of the mechanical clan.

But it was not the action on the ground, but the action of orbital defense facilities in space.

Those large modular satellites suddenly began to deform and gradually unfold, adjusting the various equipment inside to their proper positions.

It can be seen that various large live ammunition weapons, large energy weapons and large missile weapons are evenly distributed on the satellite.

The deployment density is even higher than that of a space station of the same size as a pirate space station, and the firepower is extremely terrifying.

Each satellite is considered a small war fortress.

And on the outward-facing side of these unfolded satellites, a flat shield that is completely different from the spherical shield of ordinary spacecraft is gradually expanding.

It connected with the flat shield that was deployed along with other hazards that were also in orbit.

This orbital defense facility is a wall of sighs that can completely keep invaders out.

Of course, that's after the construction is completed.

Currently, this wall only blocks one-fifth of the area near the equator of the entire planet and is completely unable to protect the entire planet.

Even when Chen Ming threw the Queen Insect's body onto the planet, the mechanical race didn't notice.

But this at least shows that if Chen Ming wants to directly attack the mechanical clan’s city head-on, there will definitely be big problems.

The deployed orbital defense facilities quickly and completely destroyed the asteroids and gradually recovered them.

Moreover, the orbital defense facilities were deployed at a time when the asteroids thrown by Chen Ming were near the center of the third and fourth planets from the inside to the outside of the galaxy.

The third planet is the planet of the mechanical race.

This shows that they are indeed capable of discovering the first two batches of asteroids, but they did not react after determining that the asteroids' orbital landing points were not inside the city.

Then Chen Ming would not understand the situation of the mechanical city even more.

Although he used some anti-scanning materials on several asteroids, the Queen's body was so large that he thought the mechanical people here were outrageous in the unlikely event of not being discovered.

This made him very confused and he really wanted to find out the reason.

Chen Ming found that every time he encountered something, there were always a lot of questions that he couldn't figure out.

So after he couldn't figure it out, he skillfully controlled his emotions, kept these questions in his mind, and would see if there was a chance to get them answered later.

Anyway, one thing is certain now, when he attacks the mechanical city later, he must destroy all the satellites of these orbital defense facilities as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the shield of his spaceship would inevitably suffer a serious blow.

The first step of the preliminary work is completed here.

At least the goal was achieved.

The Queen's body landed on the planet, and Chen Ming also confirmed the range of the Mechanical Clan's scan of space, which could be used in the next attack.

And the second step Chen Ming has to take has to begin immediately.

He wants to deploy more measures.

Now the mechanical clan is in the open and Chen Ming is in the dark. If Chen Ming doesn't make more arrangements in advance, he will really let himself down.

So Chen Ming wanted to prepare something to block and interfere with the signals within the galaxy.

Although the mechanical race has a hive mindset, they are mechanical life forms and all their activities rely on electrical signals, so it is not impossible to tweak this kind of thing.

Moreover, Chen Ming knew that before he used psychic energy to rebuild the Zerg's hive mind network, it was constructed mainly by relying on brain waves and supplemented by pheromones.

And there must be some invisible connection between the hive minds of the mechanical race.

Although what he does may not necessarily be useful, it is better to do it than nothing.

Even if the blockade is ineffective, interference will always be of some use.

It’s just that the planetary-level signal blocking device is a bit difficult to install.

Regardless of whether it exists or not, Chen Ming thinks that the only person who has the ability to get this thing is Bai Quan.

After all, there are too few scenarios where this kind of thing can be applied.

It just so happened that Chen Ming was now dividing his attention and taking classes with Bai Quan.

So Chen Ming interrupted the class and said, "Wait a minute, Baiquan, I have a question."

Bai Quan didn't feel anything about Chen Ming interrupting him, he just asked: "What's the problem? What's the problem with the wolf pack tactics that I just mentioned that is more suitable for you to use?"

"No, I understand the wolf pack tactics. I want to ask something else. Do you have the technology to block a planet's communication signals?"

Baiquan immediately replied: "Yes, there is something that can create a high-energy particle disturbance."

"By using the magnetic fields of stars and planets, we can enhance the particle radiation of stars to a very high level, and can interfere with the communication equipment of a specific planet in the galaxy on a large scale."

Chen Ming was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a ready-made thing.

"Can you make one?"

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Ming knew that it was impossible for him to take away such a large-scale equipment without any reason, so he explained truthfully: "I came across a planet that the mechanical race had just begun to colonize, and I want to steal some things."

"Oh? Where?"

"Behind the Mechanical Star Region."

Chen Ming didn't tell him the details. Bai Quan knew the approximate location and didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "I can help you get one, but you have to arrange it yourself."

"You need to find the magnetic poles of the planet, place one at each pole, and then place another where the starlight is directly shining."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Quan immediately asked a question that Chen Ming had thought of the first time before: "But is it really easy to attack a planet that the mechanical race has just started to colonize?"

"It's not easy to fight, but I have to try. It's worth it. I also need something to block the jump engine. Is there any way to get it?"

So determined...

Bai Quan pushed his glasses and modified his impression of Chen Ming's abilities in his mind, adding the ability to directly control the mechanical race.

Then he asked Chen Ming's question again: "Do you want to block the incoming spaceships, or do you want to block the spaceships on your side and prevent them from flying away?"

After thinking about the possible situations, Chen Ming said, "Both."

"Not very likely. You need to blockade at least a cruiser-class spacecraft. If you really want to block that high, you will need the cooperation of at least a dozen cruisers."

"We have to blockade the entire galaxy, otherwise the spacecraft inside will fly out of the blockade at will."

At first, Chen Ming only knew that there was such a technology and asked Bai Quan if he had it. However, he did not know how this technology achieved the final effect.

So Bai Quan’s words didn’t surprise him too much. There was nothing he could do.

In addition to using technical means to blockade it, there are other ways to prevent the mechanical cruiser from escaping.

For example, the simplest way is to directly destroy the engine. Without the jump system installed on the engine, the mechanical cruiser cannot escape at all.

So Baiquan's words only made Chen Ming ask: "That means we can only block the mechanical tribes coming from other places, right?"

Baiquan immediately replied: "Yes, but there are limitations."

"This device, called a warp beacon disruptor, has a short duration and a small range."

"It must be able to lock onto the location where the enemy spacecraft may jump to in order to be effective."

"You know that there will be jump fluctuations at the target location of the spacecraft's jump, right? You have to use the device at the location where the jump fluctuations appear, so as to block the jump process of the spacecraft that is jumping over."

Seeing Chen Ming's thoughtful expression, Bai Quan said, "I should have told you in class two days ago that the battlefield situation often changes due to external interference."

"A good commander must be able to determine where the enemy is coming from, while also knowing that the enemy has support, which will change the situation on the entire battlefield."

Chen Ming nodded and said, "I remember, but you just mentioned it casually."

"Indeed, it was mainly because we hadn't yet reached the stage to teach this knowledge point in the previous class."

"You're a little ahead of your time in needing to use this thing, but since you're out there, it's normal to run into some accidents."

"In short, this kind of equipment needs to be installed and activated in the appropriate location in advance to disrupt the jump fluctuations and prevent the spacecraft from having the opportunity to jump over."

"Although there are shortcomings, in general, one use is enough."

"If we block a jump, the jump engine of the spaceship over there will go into cooling mode, and no more spaceships will jump over here in a short period of time."

"You will have to determine where the mechanical race will appear at that time, and then use it."

"And you must also be prepared for failure in advance. Don't use this thing as a trump card."

"I remember that."

"Um."

Bai Quan thought for a moment and then said, "I remember this thing being circulated. Because its effects were too limited, it was not kept under strict surveillance."

"I can help you privately transfer up to two units, and the price will be based on the black market price."

"I remember that the fleet you left in the country has been active, right? The entire Galo star field knows the name of your fleet."

"And it seems that your fleet destroyed a Zuojing stronghold some time ago. And it was also your fleet that recently destroyed a Zuojing group occupying a space station, right? You should not be short of money."

"It's okay. There's still a bit of a shortage, but I should be able to afford it."

It seems that Chen Ming had to use the money he had just earned to buy this kind of large equipment just a few days later.

But Chen Ming believed that compared to the final gains, he would definitely not lose anything.

"I want both, but what about the signal jammer? Does it cost money too? And is it really okay for you to sell military supplies like this?"

Bai Quan directly sent two bills to Chen Ming and said, "You must pay, otherwise I won't be able to balance my account."

"Besides, our Fourteenth Legion is not very pedantic. On the contrary, we are quite humane. It doesn't matter if we sell some things outside the deadline when we are short of money."

"Besides, it is an old tradition of the Imperial Army to sell outdated military supplies when they are short of money."

With a little heartache, Chen Ming swiped the card that still remained in the empire and transferred 1.7 billion to the account designated by Bai Quan.

Even if he added in the money he earned from fighting pirates, he would still have less than 2 billion left.

Although it's a bit uncomfortable, after all, the money is spent really quickly.

But he also knew that money is just waste paper if it is not used, and it has practical significance only when it is spent.

So after feeling a little uncomfortable, Chen Ming returned to normal and asked Bai Quan, "Are the things I want already outdated military supplies?"

Bai Quan thought for a while and said, "Indeed, they can all be forgotten, except that the army still uses them occasionally."

Bai Quan's words immediately made Chen Ming curious and asked, "Then what is there that will not fall behind and is still within the deadline?"

"The main stuff is all in the dead line."

Bai Quan saw Chen Ming's slightly speechless expression and was obviously aware that what he said was nonsense.

So he added: "In fact, the deadline is quite loose. As long as it is not experimental weapons and equipment that have not yet been deployed, there is basically no problem in selling it."

"Does an antimatter reactor count?"
