The Hatchery of Tabi Star is indeed accelerating its development and overtaking others in a corner. The starting point of Zhang Han is much later than other Hatcherys. Some Hatcherys or Dyson Membranes have been operating for several years, and Hatchery Fleets are worth hundreds of thousands.

Using a mean voice, Zhang Han said, "Isha, when you were playing StarCraft, your operation was already slower than the opponent's. What should you do to restore the disadvantage?"

"?" A big question mark popped up on Isha's head. It was the real question mark that popped up from Consciousness Space!

"Of course it's stealing mines! As long as you can't die by stealing, you'll steal to death!" Zhang Han shouted excitedly.

Isha still doesn't understand what Overmind means. In order to better help Overmind, she plans to find some free time in the future to study the game named StarCraft.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Han quickly pulled two people into Consciousness Space. One was Stars and the other was Rosesta. It takes time to incubate a new Logic Bug group, and it is faster to directly transform other intelligent consciousness bodies.

Consciousness Space was suddenly caught again, Stars was very nervous.

Rosesta is nothing. After such a long time, she has also established an identity with Swarm. Under the rule of Swarm, sometimes the work is quite hard, but her life is more prosperous, which can be said to be richer than the country Royal Capital.

After the two saw Zhang Han in Consciousness Space, they immediately knelt down and said respectfully, "I pay the highest respect to the great Overmind."

Zhang Han used to feel a little embarrassed when he heard this kind of greeting, but now he feels calm about it.

"Are you willing to use your lives to be loyal to Swarm? If you don't want to, it's okay, I will let you go." He said this, but Zhang Han knew that the two of them had been connected to Swarm Network for a long time, and Swarm Consciousness had been washed away.

Almost instinctively, the two people answered at the same time, "Yes."

"Well, very good, Swarm and I will remember your loyalty." He nodded, and the answer did not exceed his expectations.

In fact, it doesn't matter if they don't want to. With such a large eagle group, there are always willing and suitable candidates.

"Rosesta, please hand over your Harpy Network, enter the Hatchery closest to you, and prepare to undergo transformation."

"Stars, I don't doubt your loyalty. It is much better to be loyal to Swarm than to be loyal to the weak and hypocritical Astrologers' Association. Your body has been through Genetic Ascension and does not need to be modified. Serve Swarm well and let your name be left on the whole Milky Way."

Looking at the confused looks in their eyes, Zhang Han did not hide his words and said directly, "Swarm will establish Hatchery in the new Star System. You two are Logical Consciousness of Hatchery. From now on, you are Core Node."

Rosesta is a little confused. She has learned relevant knowledge, but she can understand what Overmind said, but she has no idea. Just like we know that rich people are rich, but we don't know how rich they are.

Stars's pupils were extremely contracted. Her expression was first unbelievable, then excited, and finally moved. Swarm Core Node means that it is the existence in Swarm that is only restricted by Overmind, and is the real core of Swarm.

She thought that her concealment of the Astrologers' Association information would make her distrustful or marginalized, but she did not expect that the result was far beyond her imagination.

She had never been so trusted. The smart Stars had long known that President Joanna's promise to her was just a piece of pie. Overmind had never promised anything, but he was very sincere and generous to her.

In the real world, she might have cried.

"Time is running out. After you explain the matter, copy the corresponding knowledge from inside Hatchery into your brain. Especially you, Rosesta, you still need to undergo transformation. In three hours, I will take you through the starry sky."

After completing the instructions, Zhang Han waved his hand and returned the two of them to the real world.

In fact, these three hours are not only preparation time for the two of them, but also preparation time for Zhang Han himself.

StarCraft Navigation is never that simple. The dark starry sky is always full of dangers. If you accidentally run in the wrong direction and run into the void with no energy, you will have no choice but to float in the universe and wait to die.

Compared with Warp Drive, the method of Hyperspace Route is really much simpler. Anyway, it is the StarCraft highway. Just remember the exit and entrance and drive down.

Zhang Han replenished his energy, took some High-energy Crystal, and controlled his body to climb out of Giant Hatchery.

Through the small Cerebrate in the body, we began to experiment with the feeling of flying from Tabi Star to the moon and then to the sun, and calculated the error from the flight records.

Rosesta lay down in Hatchery's Hatchery Pool nervously. It would be a lie to say that she was not worried at all about the full-body transformation. But she must obey Overmind's orders. From now on, she is no longer Harpies.

She didn't have time to read the corresponding information. Compared to Stars, she was much dumber. She had to read many things several times before remembering them, so she could only make up for them slowly on the way.

Stars is much more active. She tried her best to copy into her brain all the knowledge needed to develop Hatchery. After a genetic boost, her brain and intelligence have been greatly improved.

The transformation took two hours. Rosesta lost its talons and feathers, and its feet and wings turned into those of Swarm, with jointed limbs and sharp claws. The various numerical values of her body have improved a lot, and she seems to have become more beautiful.

Three hours passed quickly. Zhang Han cut through the sky like a red Comet and landed in front of the two of them.

This time Zhang Han is larger, sixty meters high, and the extra thirty meters are the purest High-energy Crystal and purified Vespene Gas.

Rosesta and Stars looked at Overmind, which was taller than the ordinary Hatchery, and felt a little afraid. They trembled and wanted to kneel down.

Zhang Han didn't pay so much attention. He squatted down slightly, grabbed the two people with both hands on his abdomen, and put them into his stomach.

In the belly, Zhang Han asked Cellular Nanobots to create an incubation chamber filled with Nutrient Fluid. This organ can also be used as a hibernation device.

This was not the first time for the two of them to lie down on Hatchery Pool. They didn't feel much fear. They swallowed Nutrient Fluid into their stomachs and then lay down.

"This journey will take at least three months. You can take a nap or observe the stars and the universe through my perspective. This is very rare. The universe is cold and cruel, but at the same time it is beautiful and charming."

From Overmind's tone, it seemed that he was taking the two of them to see the scenery of the universe. This made Stars feel excited and Rosesta felt terrified.

They didn't hide their emotions, which Zhang Han found very interesting.

He adjusted his posture, and a pair of reverse-bent hind limbs suddenly jumped into the sky with force. The ground within a kilometer radius was broken into pieces by this powerful force.

The red body of Overmind rushed high into the sky with a strong explosion that broke the sound barrier.
