Among these warships of the Far Watcher Civilization, the most numerous were undoubtedly various robots of all sizes. They were controlled by computers or directly by the creatures of the Far Watcher Civilization. With these robots, a single creature of the Far Watcher Civilization could indeed build a massive fleet. Now, these robots had all exhausted their energy and were showing signs of decay.

To some extent, they could also achieve a massive fleet like the Insect Race. Humans also possess a large number of robots and advanced computer technology, but it would be almost impossible for a single person to develop a fleet with a sufficient number of robots and computers.

Building a fleet involves far too many aspects, and there are various anomalies that occur during production that require human intervention. Without the participation of true intelligence, robots and computers may build a few warships, but over time, their accumulated errors will increase, eventually leading to complete shutdown or the creation of a pile of junk.

However, with such a truly intelligent brain working in conjunction with powerful computers, the problem of accumulated errors can be solved, and a single person could create a fleet. But few civilized beings are willing to attempt such a fleet, and civilizations that have developed to this point have almost no future.

It's unclear how the Far Watcher Civilization managed to get all its people to accept this unique mode of existence. While this mode of existence greatly increased the number of warships, it must have significantly reduced the number of top talents. Perhaps, as the Tree Race chieftain said, the Far Watcher Civilization was a rather dull civilization, which is why they had no choice but to choose this path, giving their brains computational power, which helped them break through bottlenecks and reach the Small Star Sector Civilization.

The design of these warships shows that they are still very advanced. If the technology of these warships could be analyzed, there would be even greater gains. It is a pity that the Treant Civilization did not properly safeguard these warships, and the warships themselves have lost their energy and are not maintained. Now, the warships are in a very high state of decay.

The warships of the Far Watcher Civilization were also standardized, indicating that they did not develop their own fleets independently, but rather shared a portion of the production line. The central command was responsible for the production of some parts, while the shared base was responsible for the rest. If they were not standardized, they probably would not have been able to produce such a large number of warships in such a short time.

Perhaps due to the urgency of the war, pressure from the Insect Race, or control by their leader, they haven't yet taken the step of independent development. After all, developing independently is a very time-consuming process. However, it cannot be ruled out that some of their people have already taken this step and are quietly developing in certain planetary systems. While the scan was underway, Academician Xiao followed the robot into the warship where the organism was still alive.

With the experience gained from the previous disassembly and scanning, the robot quickly reached the main control room. There were no living beings in the main control room, only a transparent glass box about half a meter square. Inside the box was a white object the size of an apple. This white object was connected to a small black box at the bottom of the box by thousands of thin threads. At this moment, the white object was still slightly fluctuating. This was the living organism that the Tree Race Chief had mentioned.

It is obvious that this white object is the brain of the Far Watcher Civilization, and those thin filaments are the channels connecting their brain to external devices. This brain is only about one-third the size of a human brain. It is not that the larger the brain, the higher the intelligence, but the size of the brain can often reveal some clues.

"Who are you?" An electronic voice rang out in the control room, received by the translator, which had pre-stored the dictionary of the Far Watcher Civilization provided by the Treant Civilization civilization.

" The Far Watcher Civilization, you don't need to know who we are. If you want to continue living, cooperate with us obediently and answer our questions," Academician Xiao said.

"Cooperate with you? Impossible. I was imprisoned by the Treant Civilization for 2 million years, and they couldn't get any information from me, let alone you."

"It seems that cooperation is no longer possible?"

"Don't have any illusions! I know you are the Treant Alliance. Don't think that just because you are a technological civilization, you can get anything from me."

"Just knowing we're a technological civilization is enough. We have a million ways to make you tell us what we want to know. Do you believe me?"

"What... what do you want to do?"

"Is that even a question? We've already taken over everything here. You can't even self-destruct now. In a few days, we'll manufacture a few gadgets, and you can enjoy yourself. I'm quite knowledgeable about the brain."

After speaking, Academician Xiao instructed the robots to move the glass box away. The remaining robots continued to disassemble and scan the warship. The Treant Civilization was indeed helpless against this tiny brain. They could transmit information into other people's brains, but it seemed that the Tree People were still unable to glimpse the secrets deep within the brain.

" Academician Xiao, what are your plans to deal with this thing?" Hu Yu asked curiously.

"It's just a trivial skill. Through my research over the years, I've discovered that while all civilized beings differ completely in appearance, body structure, thoughts, and personalities, they also share many commonalities, such as intelligence, fear, and selfishness. I've already arranged for robots to manufacture several small devices to connect to the brain of this Far Watcher Civilization being, so I can show him a horror movie later."

"What we humans find frightening might not have the same effect on them, right?"

"It's alright, there are still many ways. He's more obedient than meat on a chopping board right now. We don't need to go to great lengths to manipulate him. The general can just come and watch the show when the time comes," Academician Xiao said confidently.

"Okay, then we'll wait a few days before setting off."

A few days later, Academician Xiao connected a small box to the glass box. After more than ten minutes, Academician Xiao connected all the external devices, allowing the brain to regain its vision and hearing.

"Ah! Help! Help!" "What the hell is this thing! No, no!" Screams filled the air, and everyone could even faintly hear rapid breathing from the external equipment.

After a while...

"Damn the Treant Alliance, I've finally caught you. Tell me, where is your territory?"

Everyone looked at Academician Xiao, completely baffled as to what this brain was saying, its words suddenly becoming utterly incoherent.

"Lord of the Far Watcher Civilization, we shouldn't have helped the Tree People fight against you. Our territory is a thousand light-years away from here. These are the coordinates. We are willing to cooperate with the Far Watcher Civilization to destroy the Treant Civilization. Please spare us, sir." Academician Xiao ignored the surprised looks from the crowd.

"Haha, you cooperate with our Far Watcher Civilization? What a joke! Why would we need the cooperation of a third-rate civilization like yours? Don't worry, our fleet will soon be in your territory to wipe you out. The Treants have all been captured! How delightful! Haha! After 3 million years, we have finally deciphered the secrets of the Treants! Our Far Watcher Civilization will surely reach the Great Star Region Civilization and dominate the Milky Way! Haha!"

"General, the experiment was a success!" Academician Xiao ignored the arrogant mind, turned off the external equipment, and said to Hu Yu with a smile.
