"But we can't give up this opportunity just because we're afraid of the so-called Stellar Bomb. If we can capture a real Zerg this time, I believe he can help us gain even more."

"Indeed, the Zerg are a treasure trove, and we shouldn't refrain from exploring them just because there are traps."

"The Zerg's treasure is not something we can covet. In my opinion, it's best to protect ourselves."

"That's right, even with treasure, one must have the life and the right to enjoy it." This foreign representative's statement was quite straightforward.

But not everyone can resist the temptation. Most of them feel that with such a treasure in front of them, they should at least give it a try. It would be too much of a waste to give up without even trying.

The crowd debated endlessly, each expressing their own views.

"According to the data calculated by the supercomputer, as long as we continue to steadily wear down the Zerg forces, in a little over a year, we can reduce the number of Zerg troops to below 50 million. This is already a fairly safe number. We can send out some remotely controlled warships to annihilate this force." Finally, someone put forward a comprehensive viewpoint. Although it would cost some time, it seemed that both goals could be achieved.

"That way, we can avoid danger and still try to dig for treasure. Excellent!"

"Like a robot detecting a trap?"

"That's right!"

Everyone agreed; the idea that it was both safe and allowed them to covet the treasure was universally accepted. But soon, someone raised a new question.

"If we don't send people over, even if there are real Zerg, how can we capture them? Warships can't handle such delicate tasks as raiding and capturing."

"We need not only unmanned warships and Unmanned Fighter, but also intelligent robots."

"That's easy to say. Although we can't compare to the Epoch Clan in terms of intelligent machinery, we are definitely much stronger than the Zerg."

"Indeed, although the scientific theories are the same, I feel that artificial intelligence is exclusive to the mechanical route. I can't imagine what artificial intelligence in a biological civilization would look like."

"The Zerg must possess technology similar to artificial intelligence; otherwise, Zerg simply wouldn't have enough population to control those combat units."

"I think their approach is to cultivate life forms and then rely on the greatness of nature to endow those life forms with souls. Then they control these souls; they are the rulers of evil." The speaker was a representative of the Mid-Ring Civilizations, exuding a chuunibyou (delusional) aura, and seemed to be someone similar to the Lashudia Clan and Daibo Race, with a somewhat abnormal mental state.

Stunned by his juvenile remarks, the atmosphere on the communication channel suddenly froze for a moment before someone continued, "Judging from the coordination of those Zerg units, they don't seem like low-IQ idiots. The Zerg can completely control them, and they don't even complain about their suicide missions, nor do they provoke any resistance. It seems the Zerg have some unique insights in this regard."

"This could very well be part of the Zerg's treasure."

"Yes, without some real skills, how could a civilization that's less than a thousand years old have grown to this level?"

"There's a chance, this time there really is a chance." Some people's eyes were full of longing. Sometimes, technology doesn't need detailed information, but just a glimpse from afar might spark a different kind of inspiration.

While some civilizations have given up, many others maintain a positive and progressive mindset, yearning for advancement.

"Guys, get everything ready: unmanned warships, Drone, and intelligent robots—the more the better. We can still modify some more while we have this time." Due to certain special reasons, most civilizations usually have a quantity limit for these remotely controlled devices.

"Perhaps we also need Drone mechs. Humanoid machines are indeed more agile in situations like this. In the fortress, some of the huge gates are not easy to breach due to the size of the intelligent robots," a representative of the foreign race said.

The numerous civilizations within the Star Sea Alliance, whether powerful Epoch Clan and Inner-Ring Civilizations, relatively weaker Mid-Ring Civilizations, or even the weakest Outer-Ring Civilizations, all constructed numerous fortified buildings to protect the safety of important figures and facilities during their civilizational development.

These buildings typically have sophisticated defense systems, with massive, impenetrable gates being a crucial component.

They didn't know if the Zerg had similar buildings or facilities, but they assumed they did. If the Zerg had the same configuration, then in situations where warships and Drone couldn't get involved, and intelligent robots were somewhat ineffective, remotely controlled mechs might be quite effective.

The command channel was filled with professionals from various races, who quickly grasped the point and all looked towards the Daibo Race. Everyone present had left home in a hurry, and even if similar mech equipment existed back home, it wasn't available on the ships at the front lines.

Therefore, this task was undoubtedly the responsibility of the Daibo Civilization. Although their mechs had suffered heavy losses in the battle against the Zerg, they took timely measures after realizing something was wrong, which allowed them to preserve a considerable number of mechs.

Moreover, some broken parts, such as severed arms or heads, are considered minor injuries to mechanical units. There are readily available parts on the battlefield, and engineers can repair them in no time if they find the right ones.

However, the Daibo Race mechs did not yet have the ability to be remotely controlled, so the Coalition Army Commander-in-Chief Conrads personally inquired about this matter with the Daibo Race commander.

Commander Daibo thought about it and felt it shouldn't be a big problem. The mechs themselves were equipped with auxiliary intelligence, which could control the mechs to perform certain actions in critical moments. Now, all that was needed was to make a slight upgrade to it.

This task is difficult for their frontline personnel, but there is a large number of people in Daibo, and with some expedited work, it might be completed in a few days.

Thinking of this, he nodded and replied to Conrads, "No problem."

Conrads, having received the response he wanted, nodded in satisfaction. "Please feel free to share any other ideas you may have. If we can find anything, it will not only benefit you all but also greatly assist us in our future operations."

"I think the most important thing right now is to prevent those Zerg from escaping." Conrads had barely finished speaking when someone immediately offered their opinion.

"Indeed, even a three-year-old could understand the current situation. No matter how peculiar the Zerg commander's style is, he can't be less intelligent than a child. If they really don't intend to destroy the star, then what they're considering now is how to escape."
