He can use this network to get the mental feedback from the Zerg in the entire network, provide mental assistance, and speed up his thinking.

And these mental powers and thoughts fed back to the Queen Worm after she devoured the psychic fungus and spent more than half a month evolving into a psychic creature. Chen Ming then used his deep repair ability to allow the psychic energy that the Queen Worm violently evolved through devouring psychic creatures to completely adapt to her body. After being linked to the hive mind network, new changes occurred.

In addition to the two aforementioned benefits, the Zerg hive network can provide one more benefit.

That is to say, the Zerg's psychic energy can be transformed into psychic energy fluctuations that are transmitted based on the hive mind network, and then act on Chen Ming who is also in the mind network.

This means that he can also use the Zerg's psychic powers.

As a part of the hive network, as the builder of the Zerg hive network, it is not excessive to use the psychic energy in the network.

It would be better to say that Chen Ming, as a psychic who became a psychic very early, is more skilled in using psychic powers than the current Queen of Insects.

The effect of the Queen's psychic power is the simplest and most brutal ability, which strengthens physical fitness through psychic power.

However, the physical strength of the Zerg is already there, and they only appear a little weak when facing the main units of the Mechanical Race.

Therefore, this newly awakened psychic power is not ideal for the Zerg, who have extremely strong bodies.

But for Chen Ming it was completely different.

Chen Ming's own psychic power is not like Yan Xiong or the Zerg's psychic power that can affect himself and strengthen himself.

Apart from regular exercise, his physical fitness is that of an ordinary person with slightly better physical fitness.

The spiritual power that has little effect on the powerful Zerg body can greatly improve Chen Ming's body.

Relying on the Zerg's mental power transformed into psychic energy fluctuations, he felt the sense of power filling his body.

Chen Ming subconsciously clenched his fists, feeling a little excited.

But he knew he had no time to waste, so he opened the hatch at the highest point and jumped high from the hatch.

The biomass jet on the back of the biomass armor ejected pure gray-green tail flames, and the powerful physical fitness given by the Zerg's psychic energy.

Chen Ming instantly pounced on the top of the mechanical cruiser like a swift Zerg.

Just as he had gained his footing.

Several passages suddenly opened on the mechanical cruiser, which had been silent since its external defense weapons were destroyed, and several flying mantises and silent mantises jumped out.

Bright flames instantly spurted out from the backs of several flying mantises, and they quickly swung the sharp blades on their arms towards Chen Ming.

If it was the previous Chen Ming, he would have been able to see this scene very clearly with his strong consciousness and thinking speed, but the limitations of his physical fitness did not allow him to dodge or counterattack.

But now, with the assistance of the Zerg's pure body-strengthening psychic power, Chen Ming, who had no actual fighting experience, actually managed to successfully dodge the attacks of two Mantises.

However, he could not dodge the attacks of the remaining three flying mantises and could only take them head-on.

However, the biological armor brought powerful protection and it didn't even leave a mark after being chopped down by six flying mantis sickle blades.

After being buffered by layers of force, the impact of the blade's chopping actually caused Chen Ming himself to be less severe than the impact of Xiao Shi sometimes jumping off the back of the bed and hitting him.

For Chen Ming now, it's not even a tickle.

He could even turn around and use the synergistic force of himself and the armor on his body to directly control the flying mantis close to him.

When Chen Ming tried to use his psychic power to control the Flying Mantis, he found that his psychic power was ineffective, just like when Yu Hui used it to control the mechanical creatures before.

Chen Ming frowned and didn't say much.

He didn't have time to dwell on this now.

He simply relied on brute force to remove the relatively fragile arm of the flying mantis that was equipped with the sickle blade at the vulnerable key point, completely killing the flying mantis.

This is just pure strength, and the combat capability of biomass armor does not rely entirely on brute force.

Suddenly, a pitch-black blade condensed on each of the biomass armor's arm guards, extending forward like a claw.

Relying on the strength of the black shell and the fusion of various metals that could easily tear apart the white cloud steel, Chen Ming killed the other four Mantises with ease in an instant.

The others also appeared on the top of the cruiser and had dispersed to shoot at Chen Ming, but they were also unable to break through the defense of Jing Tang.

After killing the mantis, Chen Ming used the electromagnetic javelin in his hand that could produce projectiles supported by Zerg energy crystals to directly hit their heads, and they died completely in the explosion of unstable energy crystals.

Chen Ming's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. This unprecedented feeling of personally participating in the battle made him excited.

Although this was not his own ability, he was able to do this by relying on the biological armor on his body and the Zerg's psychic power.

But the face-to-face battle still made it difficult for him to suppress his excitement.

But he also knew what he should do now.

So after excitedly clearing out several mechanical machines that were interfering with him, Chen Ming immediately touched the cruiser under him and actively activated his psychic power.

The result was not surprising: control failed.

But when Chen Ming did not directly call upon spiritual power himself.

Instead, use the option [Spacecraft signal detected, do you want to connect?] on the panel.

He got a prompt that [Signal conflict, unable to access].

This result caused Chen Ming to stop for half a second.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the emotions churning in his heart.

He stood up and flew into the air again using the biomass armor, returning to the highest point.

A few seconds later, a large amount of liquid metal flowed out from the highest point and was again transformed by Chen Ming into more than a dozen robotic arms with different functions.

These mechanical arms acted on the nearby mechanical cruisers, dismantling the facilities connecting the mechanical cruisers to the ground and uprooting the cruisers that had already taken root on the ground.

Although it cannot be controlled by psychic power, there is no problem in physically controlling it.

Take the cruiser away, there will always be opportunities to use psychic control in the future.

After firmly fixing the mechanical cruiser at the bottom of the highest point, Chen Ming controlled the highest point to fly into space.

At this time, on the other side of the city, the Defenders and Colossi, with the assistance of the Zerg ground units, controlled most of the Mechanicals they could take away and stuffed them onto the spacecraft.

They were loaded with mechanical creatures that were also being controlled and followed the highest point and flew into space.

At this time, the several cruisers left by Chen Ming in space were still safely in orbit, without any attacks or other interference.

So Chen Ming directly started the jump engine.

But just as expected, the jump drive process was interrupted before it even began.

By the time Chen Ming's psychic power became alert, the mechanical race had already arrived outside the galaxy and began to blockade the interior of the galaxy.

However, since Chen Ming had noticed something was wrong before, he focused on pursuing efficiency when doing things on the planet.

So he returned to space just when the mechanical race had not yet completely completed the blockade of the galaxy's jump engine, and sensed the gap where the mechanical race had not yet completed the blockade of the galaxy.

As long as Chen Ming's ship can reach the gap that has not been completely closed, he will be able to escape the situation where he may be blocked in the galaxy and beaten by the mechanical race.

So Chen Ming immediately commanded several cruisers to sail towards the gap in his psychic perception.

And when Chen Ming's fleet was about to reach the edge of the galaxy.

Through the scanning array at the highest point, Chen Ming finally discovered that the mechanical clan had arrived long ago, but had been hiding their cruiser that was setting up blockade devices.

And others, the escort fleet that was protecting the cruiser to block the gap.

In fact, in order to prevent Chen Ming from not making a jump, the mechanical clan relied on the ship's own engine to fly out of the blockade area from normal space.

Therefore, several cruisers were evenly arranged around the galaxy, with more arranged in the gaps that had not yet been closed.

But for Chen Ming, the only trouble in the mechanical fleet here is the dozen or so cruisers.

Therefore, Chen Ming chose to completely ignore the loss in order to maximize the effectiveness of his spiritual power.

Five rounds of eight thousand Meteorite drone fighters flew out from the Stardust-class flight deck in succession, with terrifying red light, and rushed towards the mechanical fleet blocking the gap.

As long as he can break through the defense line formed by these cruisers, Chen Ming will be able to safely start the jump engine and escape safely.

But as Chen Ming's fleet broke into the scanning range of the Mechanical Clan, the Mechanical Clan responded very quickly.

In just over ten seconds, more than twenty cruisers located in different locations within the galaxy made an emergency short-distance jump, arrived at the gap, and came to stop Chen Ming.

In addition, the scanning array at the highest point also scanned a new transition fluctuation.

The huge coverage of this transition wave also made Chen Ming's eyes widen.

Because behind this jump wave is either a fleet of at least fifty cruisers, or a battleship.

As long as Chen Ming fights for his life, he can defeat the twenty or thirty cruisers with the terrifying output and defense capabilities of his cruisers.

But more than eighty cruisers are really not something that Chen Ming's five cruisers plus one Stardust can handle.

Let alone battleships. Only battleships can threaten battleships. Without battleships on the front battlefield, other spaceships are garbage.

Therefore, as long as he delays the mechanical race for less than thirty seconds, he will have no chance of escape at all.

So Chen Ming made a decision instantly.

He had to jump immediately.

In fact, when Chen Ming arrived near the gap and saw the mechanical family setting up jump blockade devices on the outskirts of the galaxy, he could already start the jump engine.

A cruiser that has only activated its jump engine has almost no defense capabilities if it is attacked.

Therefore, Chen Ming had previously thought about destroying the fleet here first, completely breaking through the scope of the galaxy, and then making a jump. This was the safest way to do it.

But things are obviously not going so smoothly now.

So Chen Ming’s current choice is to lose a Defender that does not have an Alpha-class afterglow core installed and takes away the least number of mechanical people.

Let it withstand the subsequent concentrated fire of the Mechanical Fleet, while the other cruisers immediately began to jump on the spot, no longer trying to escape from the Mechanical Fleet's firepower range.

If we were any late at this moment, it would be fatal.

As Chen Ming issued the command.

The Defenders and the 8,000 Meteor Fighters that the Stardust-class had just released rushed towards the Mechanical Fleet.

The other cruisers behind began to slow down and started their jump engines.

Right at this moment.

The jump fluctuations that had just existed gradually subsided, and a fleet of more than fifty cruisers and dozens of destroyers and frigates jumped here.

Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a battleship, but another cruiser that Chen Ming guessed was larger in number.

Almost all of the newly arrived mechanical cruisers were injured, and there was hardly a single destroyer or escort ship that was not injured.

It was as if they had just experienced a brutal battle.

And at this time, the scanning array, which had not yet completed the jump process and had not yet left the highest point of the galaxy, suddenly scanned something.

It was at the location where the Mechanical Clan's batch of more than 50 cruisers had arrived as reinforcements, and where the jump fluctuations had just subsided.

There were some strange fluctuations.

There were some fluctuations similar to those of a warp drive, but nothing was warping over.

Moreover, the fluctuation disappeared very quickly, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.

But at the moment the fluctuation disappeared, Chen Ming suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous feeling from the center of the mechanical fleet, where the strange fluctuation disappeared.

The next moment, the side of a damaged mechanical cruiser that was closest to the wave suddenly seemed to be hit by something, and a huge dent appeared on the armor on the hull.

The entire ship also uncontrollably crashed into a similar spaceship nearby.

In a blink of an eye, two fireworks appeared in the space.

Before the fireworks had completely faded, the same scene happened again on another mechanical cruiser.

The hull was hit violently by something and crashed into other spaceships uncontrollably. In an instant, several spaceships were completely reduced to wreckage.

During this process, Chen Ming sensed a huge source of danger roaming within the mechanical fleet.

Chen Ming didn't know what it was, but he knew it was extremely aggressive and kept destroying the mechanical spaceships.

What the hell is this thing? This question flashed through Chen Ming's mind.

So he quickly ordered the defenders to retreat and returned to his side.

At the same time, the startup process of the jump engine was immediately and forcibly suppressed.

At the expense of the engine's life, the jump engine is kept at the highest output power, that is, the jump engine can be started at any time for jump retreat.

Anyway, the damage to the engine's life is nothing in front of Chen Ming and can be repaired at any time.

Chen Ming wanted to stay here for a while. He wanted to figure out what exactly it was that could destroy several mechanical cruisers so inexplicably and so easily.

Chen Ming's several spaceships changed direction and kept a safe distance from the mechanical fleet.

At the same time, all scanning devices at the highest point were activated at full power, scanning the situation inside the mechanical fleet.

But the scanning results showed that nothing was scanned except the mechanical clan's own ships.

It was as if all the destroyed spaceships of the Mechanical Clan were destroyed by their own people.

But the apparent forces on those ships are not deceiving.

Something must have caused such damage.

And it was definitely not some small-sized physically enhanced psychic who punched it, but something that was actually close to the size of a cruiser that hit the mechanical cruiser.

In the galaxy, it seems that there is something that cannot be seen, scanned, or detected, destroying everything of the mechanical race.

Even if the shield of the mechanical cruiser is turned on, it is of no use.

Unless the ship is completely protected by an all-round shield like the one at the highest point, there will always be a few places on the spacecraft that the shield cannot cover, and there will always be exposed locations.

Then you will be attacked by the source of danger.

However, the mechanical race seemed to be completely unconcerned now. They charged towards Chen Ming as if they did not see that the source of danger was constantly destroying their warships.

Continuously firing at Chen Ming's fleet which was still out of range.

Chen Ming was not worried anyway. He had already pushed the jump engine to the limit, and he could jump away immediately if any problem occurred.

However, Chen clearly saw many weapons projectiles or energy beams shooting in his direction, which happened to hit the source of danger he perceived, but the source of danger did not respond at all.

It can't be seen, touched, or hit, but that thing can do all of these things.

It... seems to be not in the normal cosmic environment, but it can affect this universe.

The mechanical race was targeted by such a terrifying thing.

Half of the Mechanical Clan's cruiser fleet of more than 80 ships were destroyed in the blink of an eye.

No ship could escape the attack from the source of danger and approach Chen Ming.

But Chen Ming felt that it wouldn't be long before that thing would target him.

He knew he couldn't stay here much longer, so at the moment the Defender also entered the final stage of jump engine activation.

He released the constraints on the jump drive, and the six cruisers entered the jump together.

Chen Ming's spaceship disappeared.

Only the source of danger remained and continued to destroy the mechanical race.

As time passed, the galaxy gradually became quiet until the source of danger destroyed all the mechanical spaceships in the galaxy.

But only a few minutes had passed.

The city of the mechanical race on the planet, which had been destroyed once by Chen Ming, was suddenly attacked by the same source of danger.

It continued to destroy the city and defeated all the mechanical people who were barely alive and had not been captured by Chen Ming.

In just over ten minutes, hundreds of huge manta ray-like traces that were dozens of meters deep underground and at least a kilometer long were left in the city that was almost entirely made of Baiyun steel.

It returned to space only after the entire city was engulfed in flames by this horrific attack.

Using that unique wave, it followed the same jump trajectory it came from and returned to the star field of the Mechanical Clan.

If Chen Ming still stayed here, he should be able to guess what the situation of the mechanical race is during this period and why the development of this galaxy is so slow.

However, if he really stayed here, he would probably have the same ending as the mechanical people.

Fortunately, he had already started the jump engine in advance, and left through the gap that the mechanical race had not yet completely closed, and escaped successfully.

Headed to the empire.

After all, the trajectory of the jump can be tracked, and Chen Ming would not be so stupid as to run directly to the temporary base.

If you run into the empire, you won't have to worry about being tracked by the mechanical tribe.

At the same time, he was not afraid of the source of danger chasing him.

At least Chen Ming still has great faith in his boss's abilities.

However, after Chen Ming made two more jumps and reappeared in the city where the pirate space station was located, he was basically completely safe.

Chen Ming's heartbeat also quickened a lot, and some belated cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

If he had been a little more greedy in the mechanical city before and let the Queen of Insects track down those escaped advanced mechanical individuals, wasting some time in the process, he might have died here today.

It's not just the subsequent reinforcements of the Mechanical Clan, but also because of the source of danger that made the cruisers defenseless.

So after Chen Ming calmed down, he kept thinking.

What exactly is that thing? Chen Ming has not learned of any similar existence from any research report he has read or the information he has.

So Chen Ming thought about it and called Bai Quan.

Bai Quan quickly answered Chen Ming's call and asked, "Is it over?"

"It's over. It went pretty smoothly. There was basically no loss. But I have a question."

"You ask."

"Hmm... I can't explain it. I'll send you the video and you can watch it yourself."

"OK."

Bai Quan opened the video that Chen Ming sent and started playing it.

Chen Ming explained casually: "This is what happened when I was preparing to evacuate after I had achieved my previous goal. You also saw it. I was outnumbered five to ten."

Bai Quan pushed his glasses up subconsciously as he watched five waves of eight thousand Meteorite fighters fly out from the Stardust-class fighter he had given to Chen Ming.

He had previously imagined how powerful Chen Ming's psychic power was, but now that he actually saw it, he couldn't help but feel that it was a little too exaggerated.

This is just a cruiser, what if it is a main-class aircraft carrier?

How many fighter jets can Chen Ming launch in a short period of time?

Although the Empire currently does not have a main-class aircraft carrier capable of carrying unmanned fighter jets.

But to be honest, if Chen Ming really decides to join the imperial military or government one day, as long as it has been verified for a period of time, the imperial top leaders will definitely immediately start arranging for Chen Ming to design a battleship and let Chen Ming participate in it.

This makes Baiquan want to recruit people out of habit.

But he still held it in. Since Chen Ming had questions to ask, he decided to wait until Chen Ming finished asking.

"This looks OK, right? You should be able to beat it. Any problem?"

What Chen Ming saw was even more shocking than what he heard, so he just said, "You'll know if you keep watching."

"More than 30 cruisers from the Mechanical Clan are about to warp over here. Even if I have psychic powers, I can't defeat them with just one Stardust."

"So I decided to sacrifice a cruiser to cover the rear, and the other ships jumped on the spot and fled."

Baiquan nodded slightly and said, "There is nothing wrong with this decision. When necessary, we must pay a loss in order to survive."

"And for you, the only loss is the cruiser itself. There is no loss of other manpower at all."

Chen Ming didn't care about the loss on any ship at all when he had the dismantling psychic energy to transfer materials at will, and agreed: "Indeed, but the problem is not the loss, it's the other things."

The moment when the strange wave appeared was already being played on Baiquan's terminal screen.

Just a few seconds later, Baiquan also saw the scene where the mechanical fleet was hit by something.

"this!"

Baiquan subconsciously stood up from the desk in his current room with a serious expression.

"I'll have to ask."
