Lu Bai left the meeting early.

He knew that Bai Quan would definitely tell him the follow-up arrangements later.

He also quickly gathered his troops and drove away two frigates.

This amount of military force is not much, it can even be said to be very small.

But it was enough for Lu Bai.

Under his command, the two spaceships set out from the border of the empire, approached the defense line of the mechanical race while moving secretly, and hid in a galaxy near the mechanical race that neither the empire nor the mechanical race could occupy.

The risk of going straight through the defense is too great.

No one knew whether the patrol fleet of the Mechanical Clan equipped with high-power detection equipment would suddenly pass by here at some point and discover their two frigates.

They are here to carry out infiltration and sabotage missions.

If discovered, the mission will inevitably fail.

They also had no chance of winning the battle.

So Lu Bai still needs to wait, waiting for a suitable opportunity to pass through.

Two days later.

Under Baiquan's planning and command.

The Empire launched its first large-scale counterattack.

Starting from the Galo star field side of the Empire, countless neuron warships fearlessly launched an attack towards the mechanical defense line.

This is a joint operation involving several star regions, and is centered around Baiquan's most powerful fleet.

Strive to break the mechanical race's perfect defense line in this battle.

Lu Bai, who was hiding in a nearby star field, also took this opportunity to move, passing through the mechanical clan's defense line through the hidden channel he had found before.

Even in the midst of a war, it would be extremely dangerous for two escort ships to directly enter the Mechanical Clan's base.

However, Lu Bai was not unprepared. His psychic power of electrical signal control could isolate all signal transmissions from his spacecraft and almost block all reconnaissance.

Most of the signals from the reconnaissance equipment had been captured by his psychic power before they hit his two spaceships and returned to the spaceship that released the detection signals. They would continue to spread to the other side of his ship as if nothing had been detected.

There was no effective means of discovering him.

Unless the reconnaissance ship directly observes his two ships at the optical level.

Otherwise, the spaceship driven by the team led by Lu Bai would be a ghost floating in the dark universe.

As for the feasibility of optical reconnaissance in space, for the two frigates, it can only be said to be a pure dream.

Lu Bai's two spaceships successfully arrived at the destination galaxy shortly afterwards.

There was originally a planet in this galaxy that had the highest level of industrial development among all the galaxies in this star field.

Although the local army had caused large-scale destruction to the industrial colonies during the evacuation, the thick smoke from the industrial facilities operating throughout the planet that could be seen from outside the planet could tell.

The planet has now been repaired by the mechanical race.

Moreover, at some point, a giant dock appeared here, suspended above the orbit of the target planet.

Judging from the signals coming from the dock, the giant statue that Lu Bai was targeting was staying in the giant dock.

After confirming the location of the Colossus, Lu Bai's fleet immediately approached the giant dock.

However, they did not get too close, but only unloaded a single-person-sized short-distance jump device nearby.

Afterwards, Lu Bai turned his attention to the planet below orbit and the industrial colony on the planet.

In addition to producing capital ships and, after adding additional modules, producing Colossus-class ships, the giant shipyard can also be used to produce ordinary ships.

The core components of ships produced in industrial colonies are used to manufacture ships in giant shipyards.

The frigate quickly approached the planet.

This planet has no atmosphere, allowing Lu Bai's two frigates to enter the planet's range without slowing down.

There was no trace of friction between the frigates and the atmosphere, and the planet's ground orbital defense system could not detect the two frigates protected by Lu Bai's psychic power.

The space orbital defense system is still under construction.

All of Lu Bai's actions were carried out under the noses of the mechanical clan, but no mechanical clan could discover him.

This kind of psychic power that is connected with electronic equipment can almost achieve an effect similar to dimensionality reduction when facing the existence of the mechanical race.

This is the confidence that Lu Bai has in doing this, and he has actually done so before.

The two frigates were not too close to the surface at this time. Although being close to the surface could avoid some detection signals, Lu Bai was not afraid of detection signals. Instead, he was worried that the visual sensors of the mechanical units would discover his traces.

So he still kept the spacecraft at a certain altitude, constantly searching for the rest of his targets in the air.

That is, the colony's main control facility, and the personality core that is most likely installed in it.

This industrial colony, which originally belonged to humans, also had a similar main control system before.

For convenience, the mechanical clan will most likely continue to use the damaged main control facility.

Lu Bai’s primary reconnaissance target is located there.

The closer Lu Bai got to the location of the original control facility, the more he could feel that the density of the surrounding industrial facilities was increasing, while the number of mechanical units was decreasing.

This is a disguised proof of the increasing degree of industrial automation.

It is also proof that the main control facilities of the Mechanical Clan are also ahead.

“It should be around here.”

"Everyone, check your equipment."

Everyone on the two spacecraft except the pilots immediately adjusted the special wing suits they were wearing.

After the preparations were completed, the frigate's hatch opened, and Lu Bai jumped out of the hatch first, and the other team members all followed Lu Bai and jumped off the spacecraft.

The moment everyone jumped out of the spaceship, a layer of dense liquid metal-like substance immediately gushed out of the backpacks behind them.

Of course, this is not the influence of Chen Ming's psychic power. This is just a layer of nanorobot cluster that can be manufactured by human beings with current technology, which was developed after the self-added value of the only rust-free nanorobot that Chen Ming found in the Cultural Memorial Hall of the Shining Civilization.

The nanorobots covered the entire bodies of the team members who were out on a mission, and quickly began to change their own states, covering the team members up and achieving an optical invisibility effect.

They soon landed among the factories and quickly assembled, setting their sights on the towering colonial control hub not far away.

Lu Bai's spiritual energy still lingered around him and his teammates, while some of it was also released to investigate the surrounding environment.

The electrical signals of mechanical units are also within his perception range.

This allows the team to penetrate into the most important places of the Mechanical Clan without being discovered by the Mechanical Clan's maintenance units.

Lu Bai quickly planned a route through the area full of industrial buildings that would lead him directly to the main control hub and complete the purpose of his trip.

As long as he gets within a certain distance of the main control hub, he can use his psychic powers to forcibly destroy the colony's control signals, which can not only disrupt the normal operation of the colony, but also cut off the personality core's means of contacting the outside world, and there is even a certain chance that he can take the personality core away as well.

But while on the road, Lu Bai's eyes were always looking around, as if he could see everything inside the buildings through those industrial buildings.

Although the team members felt it was strange, they did not comment on the captain's behavior.

The group arrived outside the main control hub in absolute silence at night, local time.

And entered the hub along the maintenance channel specially set up by the mechanical clan for maintenance individuals.

After all, the mechanical race is created by the humanoid species of the Shining Civilization, and the things they create will be helpful to humans to a certain extent.

A team member standing at the front of the team holding a terminal turned his head and whispered, "The core of the main control hub is about 300 meters ahead. We are almost there."

"Well, let's change the route first."

The team members looked at each other in confusion. Although they felt strange, they had no choice but to obey the captain's orders.

They continued along the maintenance passage inside the building, only changing direction slightly.

Came to a separate empty room in the main control hub.

There were no surveillance facilities in the room, only numerous wires connecting it.

The structure of this room is similar to the area room in the core of the hub that Lu Bai's team investigated outside.

But it is not the core of personality that is housed here.

Instead, it was a deep blue spherical object.

"I know this one."

Lu Bai walked in front of several team members and said, "This is the wreckage of Yuhui's Alpha-class core..."

A team member who also knew Yu Hui asked, "Captain, isn't this core still functioning? How do you know for sure it's just the wreckage?"

"The electrical signals inside it do not have irregular fluctuations. It is different from any afterglow core I have ever seen. It has no consciousness."

Lu Bai knows Yu Hui and the mechanical race very well.

So he could determine that this afterglow core only existed in the shell, and the part in the shell that performed calculations.

The reason it exists here is just to replace some of the self-calculations of the mechanical family.

"Do you remember that our headquarters lost Yu Hui when they were chasing her some time ago? They said she was taken away by the mechanical tribe?"

"Remember."

"It seems that the group of lost Afterglow Cores have all run here."

"Captain, you know so much?"

"Yu Hui is also an electronic life form. It's normal for me to understand more about my psychic abilities."

This is not normal.

The team member who just asked the question had this thought in his mind.

He knew very well that the captain's understanding of Yu Hui to this extent must have been specially learned.

Lu Bai had indeed learned it.

Because he knew that his psychic powers had certain similarities with Chen Ming's, after he awakened his psychic powers and made achievements, he was promoted to an officer and no longer needed to undergo long-term training in all aspects.

I specifically asked Baiquan Chenming about his development history.

Then, he imitated the path Chen Ming had taken and studied many related techniques and knowledge based on the nature of his own psychic powers.

He also studied a lot of papers that Chen Ming had read or even written.

Of course he knew clearly about the electronic life form like Yuhui, which was closely related to his psychic power.

That's why he kept looking around on the road.

Because this was the first time he saw the core of the afterglow being installed by the mechanical race in their buildings.

That is why he came here to take a look at the situation before completing his goal.

The situation had been understood, and Lu Bai did not continue to stay in the room where the core of Yuhui was placed.

Except for leaving two team members behind, he led the rest of the team members back and approached the core of the main control hub again.

Still no rush.

Lu Bai and his team members stayed near the core area, looking for the key nodes of the mechanical production line.

When fighting breaks out on the front lines, military factories in the rear must of course operate at at least 100% efficiency.

This allows him to feel the operating logic of different lines very clearly.

And write it down.

Lu Bai's restraint on the mechanical race and Yu Hui is very similar to Chen Ming's, and he is even more excessive in long-range means.

Chen Ming's psychic power still needs contact, and his electric signal control psychic power is aimed at the mechanical race, just like his psychic power of remotely controlling human nerve signals is aimed at humans...

Although his psychic power cannot directly destroy the entire colony, it can disrupt the colony's production lines and cut off all production lines.

Allow various materials that should not appear on certain production lines to appear, and allow some special materials to cause damage to industrial buildings.

Lu Bai stayed near the core for nearly thirty hours.

The situation of almost all production lines of the mechanical race's colonies throughout the planet was fully understood.

After successfully obtaining all the information, Lu Bai's team finally took action.

Lu Bai's psychic energy penetrated into all the circuits with electrical signals around the core of his personality.

And they all exploded at a certain moment.

A lot of errors or honor signals are stuffed into it.

The entire colony, under the control of the personality core, instantly fell into chaos.

The alarms of problems at industrial facilities and some larger explosions were heard along the building and reached the ears of Lu Bai and his party.

Without any hesitation, they aimed the tools they had prepared at the core of the personality in countless lines.

After achieving the goal.

The dozen or so team members following Lu Bai immediately pulled the trigger of a device on their bodies.

Then they disappeared into the building on the surface and appeared in space where they had set up another short-distance jump device before.

The two frigates that had been waiting for a long time immediately took all the team members onto the spacecraft.

There was chaos on the surface, and a large number of fleets were dispatched from the giant docks and headed for the planet.

Two frigates were approaching the giant dock from the other end of the giant dock opposite to the planet.

Ten minutes passed.

Bright flames came from the giant dock.

Lu Bai's two frigates were enveloped by a wave of psychic energy and disappeared into the galaxy.

Team Lu Bai took away the personality core of the mechanical race, destroyed their important industrial colonies, and destroyed the colossus that was resting in the giant dock.

It even caused serious and irreparable damage to the giant shipyard.

And, took away the afterglow core that Lu Bai had discovered earlier.

This is also a very important piece of evidence that can let people know the whereabouts of the afterglow cores that were previously taken away in large numbers by the mechanical clan.

This afterglow core circulated within the empire for two days.

Finally, it fell into the hands of Chen Ming's galaxy and glory.
