Chen Ming felt anger building up in his heart.
He knew about this method of attack using neutrons.
As early as when he learned about the design concept of the Colossus, the concept of neutron weapons known as neutron annihilation had already been put on the table, and appeared together with the current main design direction of the Colossus, the Chibaku Tensei.
Chibaku Tensei is designed to directly destroy the planet itself.
The purpose of neutron extermination is to clear all living things on the planet in the most efficient way.
Including biological and mechanical, as well as scarlet.
Living things would have their genes shattered by neutrons.
The machinery will be damaged by neutrons and the circuits will be damaged.
Scarlet will be similarly affected.
The weapon design was well-intentioned, as the Colossus-class weapon was designed specifically to cleanse planets affected by the Crimson.
Neutron weapons can both eliminate the Crimson and Crimson-affected organisms while preserving the planet's own resources.
All you need to do is wait for the activated neutrons on the planet to deactivate for about ten years, or take the initiative to spend two or three years cleaning up the activated neutrons.
However, when the scarlet infection is at its worst, everything will be transformed into scarlet, and the probability of the planet being preserved intact is low.
Moreover, the Empire is not actually short of habitable planet resources. What it lacks are those resources that are concentrated together and worth developing. This scarlet-infected planet is not a big deal.
The design difficulty of the Earth-shattering Star is obviously simpler than the neutron annihilation, and the intuitive effect is also more obvious.
When dealing with severely infected scarlet planets, the Earth-shattering Star is obviously more useful.
When facing some enemies that are not afraid of neutrons, such as the Leviathan before, the overall performance is obviously better.
Moreover, although the Scarlet creatures have biological characteristics, there is no guarantee that the neutron jet will have a complete effect on them, especially when the Scarlet infects an entire planet.
The entire planet has become a scarlet incarnation, and the neutron torrent may not be able to solve it.
Furthermore, the empire’s scientific research resources are limited.
The Empire now has more than just the Colossus-class weapon, an important and large-scale project.
No matter what, the entire project team can only research one Colossus-class weapon technology before actually building the Colossus-class weapon.
Therefore, the design of neutron killing was not put forward for research.
The Empire's research direction remains in the direction of Chibaku Tensei, specifically targeting Scarlet.
The Mechanical Clan also has Colossus-class weapons, and the type of Colossus-class weapons they use is neutron annihilation, which is not surprising to Chen Ming at all.
Because the basic concept of Colossus-class weapons was learned from the Shining Civilization and redesigned after the unification of the Empire.
Understanding is understanding.
There was no way Chen Ming could accept such weapons being used on his own people.
He had always clamored to break away from the Empire and become self-sufficient, but he had never doubted his identity as a human being.
And as he became more and more involved in colonial construction, he realized that his original idea of becoming self-sufficient apart from the empire was difficult to achieve.
Moreover, the empire has been changing its attitude towards him and providing compensation in various aspects.
The Empire has been proactively providing for almost everything Chen Ming needs.
The Empire could see that Chen Ming had been stealing talents from the Empire when he built the colony. It was obvious that he could just send someone who could record data and take the data away for research, but they still kept sending top talents to him.
This is the unspoken understanding between Chen Ming and the Empire.
The disgust in his heart was gradually decreasing.
It can be said that the empire became afraid after knowing Chen Ming's abilities and took the initiative to admit defeat.
That's enough.
When doing things, Chen Ming never considers other people's ideas, but rather their actions.
He identified himself as a human being and a member of the Empire.
Then he couldn't just watch these things happen and do nothing.
Chen Ming disappeared from the ground in an instant.
He didn't have time to collect the bodies.
The best way to appease those dead souls is to completely destroy the mechanical race.
He returned to the superbody and searched space for traces of the Colossus and its fleet.
The scale of the Colossus is no different from that of an ordinary space station. The movement of such a huge object, whether relying on hyperspace channels or jumps, will inevitably leave enough traces.
Chen Ming didn't even have to look carefully, he had already found an almost continuous area of remnants of transition fluctuations in the area above the planet where the neutron density was the highest.
He personally read and analyzed the data of the jump fluctuations and determined the coordinates of the Colossus-class jump as quickly as possible.
After roughly calculating the time it would take to use the jump engine and the time core respectively.
The super body's time flow core was fully activated and instantly overloaded under the influence of Chen Ming's psychic power, accelerating the entire spacecraft to the extreme and heading in the direction of the jump.
In just a moment, the super body reached the edge of the target galaxy.
The image of the galaxy has appeared on the sensor, but with just a glance, Chen Ming did not find any traces of the colossus and large-scale fleet that had jumped here, nor any suspected central core of the mechanical race.
There was only a Mechanic fleet here that was about the same size as the one he had dealt with in the previous galaxy.
The fleet was divided into several smaller fleets, stationed in the orbits of several planets in this galaxy.
Chen Ming has the information about this galaxy on hand.
Because some time ago, people controlled by brainwashed psychics appeared in this galaxy.
And there are several industrial colonies in the galaxy.
The reason why the mechanical race did not choose to stay in the capital galaxy but chose to stay here is most likely related to these industrial colonies.
The Colossus would not disappear out of thin air. It must have jumped to another galaxy again.
If you want to investigate the location of the Colossus, you must go through the obstruction of these mechanical races.
Chen Ming chose to strike first.
He did not do it himself, but only relied on the super body's own time core and space ability to be accelerated to the speed most suitable for combat effectiveness, and instantly passed through the orbit of every planet in the galaxy.
The warships close to the super body were cut into pieces, and the warships far away exploded from the inside out.
Even the mothership could not escape the fate of being split in two.
The last time Chen Ming's scarlet power overflowed, it caused Super Body to become half red and half white, and also caused Super Body to use the scarlet power at the same time as using space power.
Almost all the cross-sections of the mechanical warships that were cut into pieces by the super body were covered with messy blood-red machines.
And was completely infected by these bloody machines.
Chen Ming did not deliberately try to stop this from happening.
On the contrary, he continued to release more of his scarlet power.
Doing so would cause even greater damage to the Mechanical Fleet and allow the super bodies to be more thoroughly infected by the Scarlet Power.
At the same time, it can also allow him to vent some of the pent-up anger in his heart.
All the mechanical races in space, regardless of their size and fighting strength, were cleared out by Chen Ming in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the super body's sensors uploaded back the scan results of the planets in the galaxy.
They chose to carry the activated neutrons and began to dismantle human industrial colonies and transform them into industrial buildings of their own.
Just as Chen Ming had guessed before.
After the star field occupied by the only nearby mechanical tribe was demolished by the Empire, those mechanical tribes that came from afar would inevitably need a stronghold to ensure their own production capacity.
A tree without roots and a duckweed without water are definitely not a long-term solution.
The mechanical race obviously understands this.
Chen Ming also understood this, so he would not give the mechanical race such an opportunity.
Chen Ming directly controlled the super body to land towards the planet closest to him.
Just as the super body entered the atmosphere, the metal sky curtain was pulled up immediately afterwards, plunging the entire planet into darkness.
The mechanical race, which were originally building their own colony, suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something and began to behave in the same way as on the planet Chen Ming had visited before.
Self-destruction.
They were destroying the ruins of the colonies, destroying themselves, and destroying the buildings they had built.
Just to prevent Chen Ming from obtaining these things easily.
Chen Ming didn't care about them at the moment.
Because his attention had been attracted by the piles of corpses among the ruins of the colony.
The colony under his feet is an industrial colony, and the population distribution is usually scattered and not too concentrated.
The place where he is now is not a concentrated residential area in the colony.
There is only one reason why there are so many corpses.
That is, the mechanical race gathered the corpses.
The mechanical race certainly does not do this out of kindness, and they don't need to worry about the plague caused by the corpses.
The reason they were able to do this was the furnace-like device next to the pile of corpses.
Chen Ming is familiar with this device.
It will draw the corpse in and crush it, converting it into the most basic electrical energy.
This is a biofuel generator.
At this moment, Chen Ming took a casual glance and could see that these devices were evenly distributed in the core area of the entire colony.
All human corpses killed by neutron annihilation will be thrown into generators by the mechanical race for bio-electricity generation.
And at the opening of the generator that is closest to Chen Ming.
Just at this moment, the body of a child who was probably only in his early teens was dragged by the conveyor belt and fell into the interior of the generator.
For a moment, Chen Ming only felt a surge of anger.
He suddenly disappeared from where he was and smashed the entire power generation equipment into pieces with one punch.
The shattered flesh and blood scattered all over the ground, and the half-broken body of the child fell among the flesh and blood.
Looking at what was happening in front of him, Chen Ming didn't feel his anger relieved at all.
The surrounding mechanical units turned a blind eye to the situation and were even constantly destroying their own units, which was telling Chen Ming in various ways.
How could they care about humans if they didn't even care about themselves, let alone human corpses?
And when the child's head tilted towards him because of the cut on the body, and turned its lifeless eyes filled with physical pain towards him.
Chen Ming found it even more difficult to suppress his emotions.
The deaths of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of people are just numbers on paper.
Only when you see with your own eyes that these numbers are actually real living people with emotions, will these numbers become the real number of "deaths".
Several human figures made of liquid metal appeared around Chen Ming.
These liquid metal humanoids boarded the super body together and were carried to several other planets by the super body.
Along with the arrival of those humanoids, the metal sky completely covered all the planets in the galaxy, and once again smashed down to the ground like the sky falling, destroying everything belonging to the mechanical race.
This is the method he uses to deal with the mechanical race with the fastest efficiency.
At the same time that Chen Ming was destroying the mechanical race, each mechanical race was also madly destroying itself.
They don't care about their own losses at all, they only care about causing more losses to the empire and making Chen Ming get less rewards when he controls them.
The galaxy soon became quiet.
No more sound.
After the mechanical colossus arrived in this galaxy with neutron annihilation, all life in the galaxy was completely wiped out.
And when Chen Ming completely wiped out the mechanical race, everything became quiet.
The silence of death filled the entire galaxy.
Chen Ming had clearly been to many galaxies without any life, but he felt a sense of discomfort that he had never experienced before in this dead galaxy.
He was used to seeing death, but he would never get used to dying.
Chen Ming suddenly sighed.
He was suspended in the air above the planet and looked around. At a glance, he saw that the entire colony had been completely destroyed.
Even if all of the mechanical equipment had been dismantled, the mountains of corpses still could not be properly dealt with.
He still wasted his time doing unnecessary things.
Even if he dealt with the mechanical people, he would prevent their corpses from being sucked into the power generation equipment.
It also cannot change the outcome that all people in the entire galaxy died in neutron annihilation.
No matter how efficient he is in dealing with the mechanical race, it cannot change the fact that he wasted time.
He knows exactly how to achieve his goals most quickly and efficiently.
But when he saw the bodies of those people, he couldn't help it.
After all, his power alone is still too weak.
He can block it for a while, he can block a corner.
But it is absolutely impossible to stop the invasion of the entire mechanical race in this lifetime.
Chen Ming quickly calmed down and told himself not to meddle in other people's business.
There are some things that he cannot change the outcome of no matter how much he wants to intervene.
What he needs to do is to speed up the pace and use all the means at his disposal to completely eliminate the source of the results he does not want to see.
The scarlet color on the surface of the super body has become increasingly obvious, gradually covering up the original pure white.
A blood-red shadow disappeared into the galaxy that had been wiped out by the mechanical race.
Went to the next one discovered by Chen Ming.
A galaxy where the Colossus of the Mechanical Race may exist.
