"Isa, thank you. If you hadn't responded quickly and diligently sutured my consciousness, I might have died." Zhang Han thanked Isa first.

"It is my duty to serve Overmind. I will be very satisfied if Overmind is safe. No matter how difficult it is in the future, I will definitely take Swarm to protect Overmind."

Isa doesn't seem to care much about Zhang Han's thanks. She only sees herself as Overmind's assistant. Protecting Overmind and executing Overmind's orders are the meaning of her existence.

In Swarm Network, Zhang Han could clearly feel Isa's feelings. He nodded and said, "Well, then help me, let us work together with Swarm to face the crisis at hand."

"Okay, fight for Overmind. Swarm led by Overmind will be invincible." This is not a compliment from Isa, this is what she thinks in her heart.

When the consciousnesses of the two were ready to connect, and Zhang Han was ready to command, he saw that the message Isa sent him contained a small entry for important protection.

That was an archive, the archive of Zhang Han playing LoL on the Internet. The game did not disappear just because Zhang Han's consciousness was shattered. Isa carefully saved it for him.

At this moment, Zhang Han felt like he had broken his defenses. No one had ever been so attentive to him and treated him so well. He wanted to cry, and he understood that his life was going to be dedicated to the development and growth of Swarm.

This is the first time for such a strong emotional impact. After becoming Overmind, Zhang Han's mental power was already very strong, but his appearance was almost passive even when the mountain collapsed.

It seems that no matter who he is, as long as his sword skills are accurate, he can still break through the defense.

With such strong emotional fluctuations, Zhang Han also spent a lot of effort to calm himself down and not let Swarm in Swarm Network notice his emotions.

He stopped talking, connected with Isa, and began to inquire about information about the enemy and ourselves, and prepare for war. Isa seemed to be keenly aware of some of his emotions, but she was obedient and said nothing or asked anything.

Through Isa, Zhang Han quickly took control of the entire Hatchery. Before he woke up, Hatchery of the Tabi Star series had no way to release all its production capacity. Many of the production was actually done by people from the Dalom Empire. The large number of spiritual marrow organs they created were enough for Swarm to last for a long time.

After Zhang Han woke up, Isa could devote all her energy to production planning. Those ordinary mortals were able to increase the overall production capacity of Hatchery by almost two percent.

Putting aside the fighting bugs on the ground, the hatching speed of the giant hatchery in space can reach more than 4,100.

Now there is no Swarm fleet in the entire galaxy. They have all been transferred away by Overmind consciousness. Some of them started late and collided with the Sapphire Man's fleet on the way and were wiped out.

The existing orbital fleet is actually 4,000 battleships from the Darom Empire, which is outrageous. They were all put together bit by bit by the people of the Empire who exerted their subjective initiative.

Such great results are the result of a combination of three factors.

The first is the extremely strong plasticity of the Spiritual Marrow Stone. It can grow like a fungus, and can be controlled by mental power to change its strength and shape at will. The characteristics of living metal make it a versatile material, making it even more powerful for making warships.

The unique technology of the third-level civilization has huge potential.

The second is the assistance of Swarm Network. The network that stores knowledge allows every mortal to enjoy extremely high learning efficiency, and it is also very simple to use the knowledge.

For example, after a complex mechanical part is shaped by a major project, the shaping process can be uploaded to the Internet, and apprentices can use the process in the network to simulate the process and create the same part after practice.

This function can even be used for Psionics spells. As long as the calculation is handed over to the network according to the spell model in the network, the caster only needs to provide mental power and cast spells.

Somewhat similar to the concept of the Magic Network, Swarm Network is such a great invention that shares knowledge and technology so that every individual in the network can benefit from it and become stronger.

The last aspect is the influence of the Mechanical Church. This is a branch belief born out of the Church of the Four-Winged Dragon God. Their worship of the Dragon God is more based on knowledge and machinery, so they also respectfully call the Four-Winged Dragon God the God of Machinery.

The prayers and creeds they compiled regulated the behavior of every Spirit Stone engineer, which seemed rigid and meaningless. But this kind of religious ritual-rich behavior played a key role as a catalyst.

No matter how good the Spiritual Marrow Stone is, no matter how powerful the Swarm Network is, it is still due to external factors. Only when people's subjective initiative is mobilized, and external factors and internal factors are combined, can qualitative changes occur.

Those seemingly complicated rituals are actually an industry standard, which allows everyone involved in shaping the spiritual marrow stone to shape it with respect. This kind of respect will also improve people's mental focus and increase the yield rate.

The prayers of strange powers and chaotic gods have really increased industrial production capacity and production efficiency.

Zhang Han couldn't help but think that if in Earth, a group of engineers chanted prayers, performed serious rituals, operated machine tools for production, and the yield rate increased, that picture would be so beautiful.

Most of the four thousand battleships are small models of cruisers, destroyers, and frigates, which can be regarded as combat power at this time. Anyway, there is no need to worry about it. It is generated by the Durom Empire for free, and it can also play a role during the battle.

Let Specialized Cerebrate pull everyone in the battleship into the network and conduct space combat training. Zhang Han focused his attention on the giant hatchery.

With the ordinary Swarm fleet incubation mode, the amount of hatching in one day is quite considerable, but Zhang Han feels that this is not possible. After five days, the 20,000 Swarm fleet, plus the Dararom Empire fleet, will be unstable against the 25,000 Sapphire fleet including Titan battleships.

Coret has fought against the Sapphire fleet, and their ordinary battleships are not weak in combat effectiveness. Coupled with the Titan-class battleships with extremely strong defense, it is not easy to win with the same number.

We can only rely on the worms and the large number of spore towers on Tabi Star to defend and hold them back. Waiting for reinforcements from the newly hatched Swarm fleets in other galaxies, and being flanked by both sides, we can achieve a relatively stable victory.

However, sometimes, good things never come in pairs, and bad things never go alone. The consciousness of Overmind in Kadian sent the worst news. Zagara cut off the originally connected galaxies of our own through the wormhole.

The worst case scenario is that Tabi Star's Swarm fleet can only be relied on to block the Sapphire Man's attack, and then they will face the attack of Zagara.

The situation is indeed a little bad and a little difficult. If it were a game, with the human nature of Zhang Han, I would have voted.

But now, he has a very sense of responsibility, isn't he just trying his best? It's not like he hasn't tried hard, the ether dragon's body has long since recovered, and it's just another beating.
