If Abaddon's request is for scientific research funding, it is simply more excessive than a lion's mouth opening.
Lapras, the demon insect, is the real original insect. Swarm Network was invented by him. His knowledge and wisdom can only be described as magic and monsters, so his title is the demon insect.
"I will make arrangements for Laplace's affairs. Abaddon, please continue to study Shroud and Psionics. Remember to be careful and cautious."
Abaddon didn't agree immediately, so Zhang Han sent it off the Internet.
Regarding Laplace, actually consuming the energy of a Hatchery galaxy and spending time to incubate him is secondary. The most important thing is that a legendary Zerg of Laplace's size is very keen, and the consciousness of the first Overmind is his.
Zhang Han is a little worried that his identity as Blue Star Humans will be discovered by Laplace. If he faces the backlash of the entire Swarm, even if his body is almost immortal, he must consider the consequences.
So should we hatch and awaken Laplace? As soon as this somewhat selfish hesitation emerged from Zhang Han's mind, an even greater sense of shame filled his heart.
He was the most ordinary Blue Star Humans. By chance, he came back from the dead and became Overmind. He had a life that he had never experienced before.
Swarm absolutely loves and is loyal to him. The first Hatchery sacrificed his life to protect him. The consciousness of his human clone was shattered into pieces. Isha is still stitched together loyally.
No Zerg has ever doubted him, and no node has disobeyed him. When immersed in the Swarm trend of thought, all Hive Swarm Consciousnesss trust him. They believe that their Overmind will lead them and lead Swarm to keep going.
"How can I go against the interests of the entire Swarm because of my own selfish desires? Maybe... maybe I have also been assimilated by the Swarm trend of thought. It doesn't matter. It's good to be assimilated by such an existence..."
At this moment Zhang Han seemed to have let go of everything, let go of everything he was as Blue Star Humans, and identified himself as a member of Swarm.
"Once I was a nameless person among all living beings. Now I am Overmind who leads Swarm. From now on, I will be the step, and Swarm will go to higher and further places because of me."
In a Hatchery galaxy, due to the order of Overmind, all development and incubation were stopped, and all energy and resources were supplied to the core Hatchery.
In the core Hatchery, an egg is growing, all the energy is being poured into it, and all the knowledge in the Swarm database is being burned into it.
Whether Laplace can be successfully hatched and awakened at one time depends on luck. After all, logical consciousness belongs to the category of quantum mechanics and is highly random.
This thing is like drawing cards, but even if you are unlucky, under the command of Overmind, you have to fish out Lapras even if you have a big guarantee.
After Zhang Han set the tone, hundreds of light-years away, Antilians's fortress planet Cadian was experiencing a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
In the command room of the planet, Feng Huo is seriously directing the battle. As the supreme commander of Cadian, he bears the heavy responsibility of defense. His duty is simple, either guard Cadian or die in Cadian.
The defensive pressure this time is still very high. The 150,000 Swarm fleet is densely packed in the starry sky. All that is scattered on the optical radar is the Swarm fleet.
"Thor's Hammer air defense matrix, area A50 to D27, fire coverage!" Feng Huo ordered.
The endless Cadian is covered with steel ground. Countless huge steel covers began to open, and Gigacannons glowing with deadly blue light were ready to fire.
Following the command of Feng Huo, the indestructible shells emitted a death scream that cut through the atmosphere and tore the blue sky.
The Overlord group that was preparing for landing suffered a devastating blow in an instant. The power of the gigabit cannon could not even take a few hits from the Swarm Leviathan, let alone these Overlord.
They still tried their best to drop a large number of airborne sporangia at the last moment of their lives, but the number was much less than expected. In the end, only one million fighting bugs landed on this steel world.
"Ask the Third Super Soldier Group to destroy the landed Swarm, and the Fifth Mechanized Army will go to cooperate. Within two hours, I want them to clear the battlefield without leaving a single living bug." Feng Huo immediately made arrangements.
The entire Cadian has a garrison of 200 million professional soldiers, including 20 million super soldiers. Counting supporting engineers and logistics departments, there are a total of 1.5 billion combatants, not counting the countless robots.
To be honest, when Feng Huo saw Cadian at first, he felt that such a well-defended fortress world could not be defeated, not even by the empire itself. The only way was to use Colossus.
Now, he doesn't see it that way. He even thinks that the engineers were too conservative when designing Cadian. Because the cost of completely transforming a planet into a steel fortress is extremely high, half of the area of Cadian has not been transformed into a fortress.
"Marshal, the Space Fleet said they can't hold on any longer and hope to enter the atmosphere and rest inside the fortress."
The bad news did not disappear just because of a small victory. The correspondent had already conveyed the situation of the space fleet to the terminal in front of Feng Huo.
"Five thousand battleships have been sunk, eight thousand have been injured, and only seven thousand battleships are still intact. The combat effectiveness of the entire fleet has dropped to half..." There was a trace of despair on Feng Huo's face.
"It doesn't make sense. How could it be that Swarm's combat effectiveness has increased again?"
According to the traditional combat power ratio, a fleet of 20,000 Antilians should be able to fight against a fleet of 300,000 Swarm. Coupled with Cadian's ground support firepower, the base camp is very confident in defending Cadian.
Their combat power ratio is set like this. If the Swarm fleet has a size of 200,000, the defenders can kill Swarm; if the Swarm fleet has a size of 400,000, relying on the Cadian Fortress, the defenders will definitely win, but it will cost a lot; even if the Swarm fleet has a size of 600,000, Cadian will definitely be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive.
Then, facing the Swarm fleet of 200,000, the war had only lasted seven days, and Feng Huo had already felt Alexander.
In fact, this cannot be completely blamed on the base camp. The main reason is that Swarm's progress is too fast.
After Abaddon was kicked out of his own galaxy by Stellaris Council, he mass-distributed the various data, weaknesses, and countermeasures he had collected on the Antilians battleship through the public network.
Although Swarm is divided, the attitude towards the enemy is still the same.
Now let's attack Cadian's Swarm fleet, which is a specialized fleet hatched specifically to defeat Antilians.
For example, the self-destructing mosquito has a thicker carapace and can penetrate the point defense fire network; the Mutalisk has stronger firepower and is specialized in missile attack; the Tusk warship has a thicker carapace and is faster; the Brood Lord has adjusted the speed of plasma bombs and acid bombs to better penetrate field shields.
This Swarm fleet is obviously well prepared.
