A Hypothesis

Godzilla's body weighs 100,000 tons. Such a heavy weight would be difficult to support even if its bones were made of superalloy. Therefore, it uses an electromagnetic field to help and restrain its body, so as not to be crushed by its weight.

Even so, it was extremely difficult for it to move freely. Therefore, it used another unique method, an ability that Rowan had spent more than a year deciphering.

This ability allows Godzilla to swim quickly in water and even walk on land. Back then, Rowan was ignorant and, after analyzing this ability, he only thought it was a pseudo-anti-gravity technology evolved from magnetic fields, just like the beetles on Origin Star.

But as his knowledge grew and his horizons broadened, Rowan Wencai realized that this was different from the pseudo-anti-gravity technology that used a unique biomagnetic field to interact with the planet's magnetic field and offset some of the gravity.

Godzilla possesses true anti-gravity technology, or rather, gravity technology.

However, at the time, this technology was too advanced for Rowan and the Swarm because it lacked supporting scientific theories, making it impossible to monetize.

But Rowan understood that if it were only used to counteract its own gravity, it would be a waste of nature's resources.

Therefore, even though the number of Zerg Swarm Intellect back then was far less than it is today, Rowan still set aside a large group of Intellect to study this technology, but so far, the results have been meager.

Things took a turn for the better when the Riken Race's "Treasure Ship" was discovered. The ship's main engine was a warp drive, and although it was a defective product, a misguided path, and a dud used to mislead a nascent civilization, its help to the Swarm was far greater than imagined.

This is similar to the old Swarm, which only had one result, but were completely clueless about how to calculate it. Now, however, there is a calculation formula, although the Swarm quickly arrives at an incorrect result using the data provided by Claire.

However, the calculation formula was correct in more than 70% of the time; otherwise, if the error rate were too high, it would not have been able to mislead the emerging civilization.

With a 70% correct calculation formula and a correct result, the Swarm quickly identified the errors and arrived at a correct formula by combining the two.

Thus, without anyone outside noticing, the Swarm had already mastered warp drive technology. However, their opponents were too weak at the time, and Rowan, accustomed to outsmarting thin air, did not immediately demonstrate this achievement to the outside world, based on his speculations about the Chess Player.

Having mastered warp drive technology, one would naturally also have mastered the technology to detect it. However, since it has never been demonstrated to the public, other factions, even if they have some guesses, cannot be certain.

Could their move be to confirm whether the Swarm has mastered the relevant technology? According to intelligence obtained from the Duoqi Civilization, some alien forces speculate that the Swarm originated from an unknown star system, but it is unclear how they ended up here.

After all, the people in this star system mostly follow the mechanical route, so it's indeed suspicious that a swarm suddenly appears that takes the biological route and develops so rapidly. Therefore, it seems logical to speculate that the Swarm possesses some advanced technology.

But how can they confirm it? Even if the Swarm sees it now, they won't know, right? Are they expecting the Swarm to tell them themselves? Impossible.

Or rather, what technology within the Epoch Clan could help them obtain this information? The Gravity Radar currently used by the Swarm passively collects information, not actively collects data. Although there is some delay, it is not a major issue now that it is not wartime.

Furthermore, with the Swarm's Overseer scattered throughout the Void and the added benefit of the Swarm Network, there was actually very little delay. However, since it wasn't intentional, the Epoch Clan couldn't possibly detect that the Swarm was observing them.

Rowan sorted out his thoughts. Could it be that Bular had previously reported the possibility that the Zerg Swarm might have discovered the Epoch Clan's surveillance equipment? And then the Telo Civilization continued to report it, ultimately attracting the attention of the Epoch Clan?

This is possible, but observing the Epoch Clan Monitor and observing the Warp Bubble, although both are called Gravity Radar, use completely different technologies; the difference between them is enormous. This information is not enough for the other side to conclude that the Swarm has mastered this technology.

This conjecture is debatable; while it remains a possibility, there are logical inconsistencies. Moreover, if this were done, the Epoch Clan would undoubtedly benefit the most, especially the New Epoch Clan whose thinking has been transformed.

But this contradicts their previous strategy of stalling for time. Are they trying to create an enemy for themselves? Only someone with a rash mind would do such a thing.

Rowan was lost in confusion, so he abandoned that line of thought and returned to where he started.

Demonstrating force, creating pressure, instilling a sense of crisis in the Swarm, improving their quality, and signaling a great mission...

But all of this depends on the fact that the Swarm must be aware of the "force" involved. So, does this mean the other side has further plans?

However, Rowan then thought that the Swarm didn't have any overt conflicts with the Epoch Clan right now. Moreover, the Swarm had just joined the Star Sea Alliance and had "handed over" its researchers as required. Although the number was small, it shouldn't be enough to make the Epoch Clan take action against the Swarm.

And if we think about it this way, could the Epoch Clan's previous attention to the Swarm have been a facade they created? No, although some of the information was obtained through the Telo Civilization, similar intelligence was also obtained from the Duoqi Civilization. Those Intellect wouldn't deceive Rowan.

Rowan fell into deep thought again. Perhaps the mastermind behind it all was indeed a member of the Epoch Clan, albeit a small minority. After all, the Duoqi Civilization only knew of the Epoch Clan and was unaware that it was divided into so many factions.

If we think about it that way, are the opposition factions using the Swarm as pawns? They've always been suppressed, so it makes sense for them to cultivate a force that can directly restrain the Epoch Clan. Moreover, this force must not actually surpass the Epoch Clan; otherwise, even if they hold power within the Epoch Clan, it would be meaningless.

Everything seemed to make sense.

This guess is more plausible than the previous one, but we still need to analyze it based on the opponent's subsequent actions. However, Rowan's thinking is much clearer now, and the fog seems to be gradually being lifted.

After the Epoch Clan spaceship that transported the researchers departed, the original fleet that arrived with them left behind two warships. Their purpose was to install Quantum Communication Device for the Swarm and the Riken Race, and to be responsible for the related maintenance and training of personnel.

At the same time, they were also responsible for overseeing the establishment of the Trade City.
