Hydra's Plan

In a virtual dimensional world.

Stars filled the sky, each one reflecting novel cosmic phenomena.

And directly in front of Chen Yu and Gray Wind, Sidra was simulating and displaying the terrifying scene of a "Hunter" devouring a galaxy for them.

Even though it was just a simple simulation, the sense of urgency, as if they were personally present before the "Hunter," was no less.

A terrifying entity spanning over twenty light-years, in the simulation, could only be represented as a colossal super-light source.

Standing before the simulated "Hunter," Chen Yu and Gray Wind were as minuscule as dust motes in a river.

"The threat of the 'Hunters' lies in their ability to suddenly descend into the galaxy where all civilizations of our Federation reside, in a manner our civilization cannot defend against..." Sidra said with a light tone:

"The moment a 'Hunter' descends, all civilizations within that galaxy will collapse and be devoured in an extremely short period."

"And the only two ways we can evade their threat are... to hide as much as possible and avoid attracting their attention."

"Secondly, we must closely observe the 'Hunter's' movements, predict their behavioral patterns in advance, and then make appropriate evasions."

"Based on the preliminary analysis of the current situation, the specific motivation for the 'Hunter' devouring galaxies is likely to plunder matter and energy..."

"Because all the locations in the known universe where 'Hunters' have been suspected to appear are, without exception, nodes with high galactic density."

"As for the Milky Way Galaxy where the Federation is currently located, it's merely a 'barren land' in the known universe and should hardly attract the attention of the 'Hunters'..."

Sidra's judgment was not unreasonable.

What surprised Chen Yu even more was that the Star Array Intelligence algorithm Sidra possessed could simulate the form of the "Hunter" for such an extended period.

Furthermore, it seemed capable of performing a certain degree of subtle deconstruction of the "Hunter" within the simulation.

However, the results of this deconstruction were merely speculative and indeterminate variables.

But it was still astonishing enough.

After all, they had previously mobilized thirteen "Thousand Year Stars" and the Federation's highest-level dimensional technology to perform calculations in an attempt to analyze the "Hunter" and obtain some useful data for intelligence analysis, but they had found nothing.

Yet Sidra managed to break through this barrier; it was nothing short of a miracle.

This was not to say that Sidra alone surpassed the computational power provided by thirteen "Thousand Year Stars."

Rather, it indicated that she was truly at least one era ahead of the Federation in terms of algorithms.

This kind of technological lead and breakthrough was precisely what the Federation desperately needed.

Sidra continued her detailed analysis with conviction:

"Of course, to be safe."

"The Federation cannot solely rely on the hope that the 'Hunters' won't find us."

"After all, our intelligence is limited, and we cannot make the most accurate judgments based on mere speculation."

"To thoroughly research how to deal with the threat of the 'Hunters' and gather more intelligence, I suggest we analyze some known clues..."

"The 'Presolin Zerg' is a good starting point."

"According to the Federation's known data analysis, the appearance of the 'Hunters' is suspected to have an inseparable connection with the 'Presolin Zerg'."

"The Federation's 'Gonggong' first encountered the 'Presolin Zerg' in the Hou Shen Galaxy and was subsequently almost devoured by a 'Hunter'."

Sidra looked at Chen Yu and Gray Wind, her eyes sharply analyzing:

"In your timeline, in another universe, the Federation also encountered the so-called 'Presolin Zerg,' but the 'Hunters' did not show up..."

"These two points are sufficient to prove a clear causal relationship: galaxies where the 'Presolin Zerg' appear are highly likely to be targeted by the 'Hunters'."

"Let's find a breakthrough from the 'Presolin Zerg'..."

"Didn't the Federation capture a 'Zerg Queen' in another universe?" Sidra blinked and looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu smiled knowingly and nodded in affirmation, then said:

"The 'Zerg Queen' could continuously produce Zerg fleets for the Federation and had made significant contributions in the past."

"However, according to the latest observation data from the Research Department."

"After arriving in this universe, the 'Zerg Queen' controlled by the Federation, for reasons unknown, entered a state of dormancy and cannot be awakened."

"Furthermore, the Zerg fleets previously produced by the 'Zerg Queen' for the Federation all perished collectively after arriving in this universe. It's unclear if this has a direct relationship with the 'Hunters'."

"Currently, the 'Zerg Queen' is confined within a special stasis field... Since the threat of the 'Hunters' emerged, the Federation's Research Department has repeatedly studied it, but with little success."

Sidra consulted the Research Department's data and then declared confidently:

"Please entrust this task to me, and I will surely provide the Federation with a satisfactory answer."

Chen Yu naturally agreed.

However, given Sidra's extremely powerful capabilities, merely handling such a small matter seemed insufficient to utilize her full potential.

Therefore, Chen Yu directly handed over the entire Federation Research Department, along with the Federation Resource Department, to Sidra.

"Ah, this..."

Gray Wind, watching Sidra's heroic demeanor, scratched his head sheepishly.

Ever since she took on the role of Governor of the United Star, she had spent most of her time by Chen Yu's side, which instead made her own role seem somewhat diminished.

As nanomachinery conglomerates, Gray Wind and Hydra excelled in completely different areas.

Gray Wind was more adept at combat simulations and managing planetary order; she could even manage the order of an entire star sector single-handedly.

If Gray Wind were to become the emperor of a civilization and plan for it comprehensively, she would also be perfectly capable of the task.

As for Hydra, she seemed to be somewhat omnipotent; she excelled at everything and could achieve perfection in any endeavor.

Hydra was perfectly competent in all aspects of work.

This kind of disparity didn't necessarily prove much.

However, Gray Wind vaguely sensed a threat approaching.

Of course, this threat wasn't on the level of life or death, but rather—

The newcomer of their kind was subtly showing signs of encroaching on her responsibilities!

To avoid being overshadowed by Hydra's aura, Gray Wind urgently reported an important piece of information to Chen Yu:

"Reporting, Boss," the Gray Gu Storm has finished brewing and is currently being fired indiscriminately from the 'Heavenly Realm Navigation Tower' towards previously anchored regions such as the Andromeda Nebula and the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy!"

"The latest data shows that within the Andromeda Nebula, the Gray Gu Storm clusters have seemingly encountered two mechanical clusters, and they are engaged in an extremely brutal battle..."

"According to Thousand Year Stars' predictions, if left unchecked, and if these two mechanical clusters continue their current method of warfare for a prolonged period, it is highly likely that the entire Andromeda Nebula will suffer irreversible decay..."

"This decay could potentially affect the safety of the Milky Way Galaxy!"
