In the end, Cheng Yu decided to set the meme virus problem aside for the time being.
From the Legion's Database, Cheng Yu learned that, with the right deployment, Decoder 0-7 could eliminate these meme viruses in an extremely short time.
As a Legion series specifically designed to deal with memes, Decoders were every bit as reliable as their predecessor series. As the Legion's Deputy Core, Cheng Yu naturally trusted the capabilities of the Legion Series.
So the sensible thing to do was to clean out the cockroaches in his own home first.
With all of the Legion's technologies unlocked and nothing standing in its way, its terrifying pace of development far exceeded Cheng Yu's imagination. He finally got to see what explosive exponential growth really meant.
At the same time, Cheng Yu came to understand why the Legion had to keep expanding. It consumed far too much energy. The larger its foundation grew, the more astronomical its energy consumption became, demanding ever greater quantities of resources.
Maintaining the Legion's unit series, running its buildings, research, computation-all of it required resources.
Fortunately, Cheng Yu did not have to worry about that problem at this stage.
Cheng Yu contacted Conductor while he was still on the way. By then, the Legion had already brought a six-figure number of celestial bodies under its control and begun sensibly allocating their uses.
Not long before, however, contact had been lost with a squad of Basic Units. Their last uploaded footage showed a warship wiping them out.
After receiving Cheng Yu's approval, Conductor immediately ordered Performer to eliminate that fleet.
Performer reacted swiftly as well, immediately assembling a fleet and dispatching it to the region where the Basic Unit squad had been destroyed.
It was not a large force-just over a thousand units in total.
