"Damn it, they're forcing us to take this final step. Wei Kaiyuan, how many people do we have now?"
"Your Majesty, the population of our Number Three Base has grown rapidly in recent years, reaching two hundred trillion, while the combined population of Number One Base and Number Two Base is less than five hundred billion."
"I haven't reached my goal yet, time is too tight, I can't worry about that now."
"Sir, should we transfer some people from Number Four Base?"
"No need. The population of Number Four Base is insufficient. Although the population of Number Three Base is smaller, it is still sufficient. There is no other way now. The Great Star Region Civilization suddenly pulled this move, leaving us with no way out. If we cannot carry out the Doomsday Plan, we will be the first to be wiped out when those Small Star Sector Civilization attack."
"Alright then, I'll make the arrangements."
Can you guarantee it will go smoothly?
"Absolutely no problem. The population of Number 3 Base was created specifically for the Doomsday Plan. We've been deceiving and educating them all these years, so there will be no obstacles to executing the plan."
"Okay, let's get to the plan right away."
"There's another piece of news, Your Excellency. I heard that Hu Yu and his group have reached the Great Star Region Civilization stage."
"What?! The Large Star Region! How is this possible?"
"It's no secret anymore. Hu Yu and his group are now leading the defense line. How could they possibly lead a defense line composed of over a hundred Small Star Sector Civilization without the strength of Great Star Region Civilization?"
"This is really a huge problem, damn old man. After we finish everything here, let's get away from the galaxy and come back when we're stronger."
Will the insects agree?
"Whether it agrees or not, it's just the king of the three-dimensional universe. If a civilization's fleet attacks, it might not be able to protect itself. On the contrary, we need to improve our strength as soon as possible, otherwise we will be the ones who can't protect ourselves."
"Your Majesty, can we also replicate the mechanical beings we've captured?"
"Copy it immediately, but keep it under control, otherwise we'll be the ones who suffer. Let Number Two Base handle this."
"Alright, I'll have Number Two Base begin the replication process immediately."
Soon after, no one knows what method Li Shun and Wei Kaiyuan used, but a large swarm of insects gathered near Li Shun's base. Each of these insects was over level 20, and many were even over level 25. If this swarm of insects were to attack the defense line, it would inevitably cause great damage to the defense line.
But they quietly gathered next to Li Shun's base. Countless white brains emerged from Li Shun's base, and upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these brains were all wrapped up by clusters of miniature robots, with long white nerve threads even trailing beneath them.
When the brain reached the insects, the insects obediently opened their mouths. The robot lifted the brain and flew into the insects' mouths. What happened next was not visible. All that was known was that not long afterward, the micro-robots flew out of the insects' mouths in swarms.
The robot kept repeating this action until there were hardly any living people left in the entire base before it stopped working. The once bustling base was now a river of blood, with corpses piled up like mountains. The heads of these corpses were all opened, and the brain tissue was removed, leaving only empty skulls.
Meanwhile, the insects in the starry sky roared angrily. Li Shun and Wei Kaiyuan flew among them, and the insects gathered around, lowering their huge heads. Li Shun sent a long message to the insects and then left. The insects immediately split up and went in all directions.
Looking at the lifeless planets, Li Shun felt a pang of guilt, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and didn't let anyone see it. In other people's eyes, he was still a powerful leader, an absolute and supreme giant in the vast system of civilization.
More than 300 billion disc-shaped warships had been assembled. At Li Shun Shun's command, all the celestial bodies in the base exploded instantly. Li Shun did not watch this magnificent scene, but directly led the fleet away from the galaxy and sailed towards the desolate extragalactic region tens of thousands of light-years away.
This time, combining the people's brains with the insects is equivalent to giving Li Shun two hundred trillion powerful helpers instantly. And that's not all. The people's brains will control the entire insect, and the insect's consciousness has dissipated. These insect people will continuously devour other insect groups to evolve, and this speed is many times faster than the normal evolution of insects.
Number 2 Base is located far out in the galaxy, on the same line as the civilization's defenses. It is a vast and silent place, more than 100,000 light-years away from the edge of the galaxy. There are no planets here, only hundreds of billions of warships floating in the air. It would be impossible to discover that there is a huge fleet here unless you come here in person.
Upon receiving Li Shun's instructions, the scientists on one of the spaceships began to get busy. A mechanical body was disassembled into multiple parts, and the scientists had already begun analyzing and replicating these parts. Only the key parts were still under research, because it was not easy to create a controlled mechanical body.
The ability of mechanical entities to generate consciousness is a gift bestowed by a loophole in the rules of the universe. Therefore, even slight changes to the structure of a mechanical entity could prevent the birth of consciousness. A mechanical entity without consciousness is useless and is no better than an ordinary robot.
The mission given by the Führer is urgent: to decipher all the secrets of the mechanical bodies and replicate them within 500 years. These scientists have already begun intensive analytical work; otherwise, failing to complete the Führer's mission will result in a cruel end. Technologically, the Führer doesn't often give these scientists death missions, but this analytical work is not like research work. Research work cannot be completed by rushing, and the Führer knows this.
Scientists are quite fearful of this mechanical entity. If they fail to control it, it could backfire on their civilization. Once it has its own consciousness, it will not be under their control, and any forced control methods could be broken. So-called commands will have no effect in the face of consciousness.
However, the Führer's mission must be completed, the scientists still need to find a solution, and now civilization is in a critical moment. No one doubts the Führer's direction, because it was the Führer who led the entire civilization to escape from the Insect Zone bit by bit. Without the Führer's wisdom and courage, civilization could not have survived to this day.
The first Small Star Sector Civilization have emerged in the Star Ring Alliance in less than 3,000 years. There are already more than a thousand of these Small Star Sector Junior Civilization, but none of them have grown up from the 150 Star System-Level Civilization. They are all developed from Stellar-Level Civilization.
