"So that's how it is. No wonder you were afraid to take it out."

"The insect's Consciousness Field strengthens with increasing rank, making high-ranking insects very difficult to control. If we could control the Insect Emperor, it would be equivalent to humanity ruling half of the galaxy. Even if we couldn't control the Insect Emperor, we could already control all the low-ranking insects in the galaxy using biological warriors, but doing so would put humanity in an extremely dangerous situation. Therefore, it's best not to use this unless absolutely necessary."

" Academician Xiao, rest assured, we can now prevent other civilizations from spying on us in the fourth dimension. Using biological warriors will not be detected."

"That would be best, but given the current chaotic situation, it's worthwhile to use these things to gain some power for humanity."

" Academician Xiao, you need to step up your efforts. At this rate, when will we ever be able to control the Insect Emperor?"

"Haha, Chief of the General Staff, you're making this old man work non-stop! But even if I work non-stop, it'll be useless. The technology of the Consciousness Field is just too profound. Most of my achievements are due to luck, from trying again and again."

" Academician Xiao, don't listen to Zhonghua; that's just how he is."

"No, the Chief of the General Staff is right. I'm also thinking of a new method to enhance the intensity of the bio-warrior's Consciousness Field, and I hope there will be a breakthrough in the near future."

"If all else fails, we can bring over Number One and the others to do the hard labor; their Consciousness Field is strong," Wen Zhonghua suggested again.

"No need. Zero is with me, that's enough. Number One and the others are very busy and haven't bothered me for decades. I just want some peace and quiet."

"Academician, Number One and his team are responsible for the defense of the entire base; we cannot afford to be lax."

"I see. They finally took it seriously this time. Not bad, not bad."

"Getting back to the point, Academician, I need at least 500 trillion biological warriors."

What?! You didn't say an extra hundred million, did you?

No, it's 500 billion.

"All 200 planets I have combined only amount to ten trillion, which is only one in 5,000 that you need." Academician Xiao wiped his sweat; the number Hu Yu had quoted was simply too enormous.

How long does it take to cultivate them now?

"We don't have that much equipment or manpower right now. Almost every one of these biological warriors requires our personal involvement. I can't produce that many in less than a thousand years."

"Alright, ten trillion it is, Academician. I'll allocate some manpower to you. Your team needs to be expanded as well. A few hundred people completing such a massive task will take a toll on their bodies."

"This task requires a high level of knowledge, and the fleet has at least a million people who meet the standards. However, very few have the psychological resilience to handle it. What we're doing here is a million times more terrifying than dissecting a corpse. General, you'd better not force them to do this. Otherwise, I'll have to take care of them, and I'll be too busy to manage."

"General, let the Superintelligent Robot come and help Academician Xiao. Now we have the capability to hide the Superintelligent Robot, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Moreover, since it's only working for Academician Xiao, it's even less likely to be discovered."

"That's a good idea. In the past, we were afraid of being discovered, so we kept our Superintelligent Robot in the fourth dimension or used them as ordinary robots. Now we can control the fourth dimension around us, so we're not afraid of being discovered by other civilizations. Academician Xiao, I'll allocate 10,000 units to you right now, and we'll gradually increase the number until we reach the number you need."

"Okay, using Superintelligent Robot now definitely won't get us detected."

"Alright, it's decided then. Academician Xiao, get ready. The Conqueror will be here early this morning to transport the biological warriors."

After a flurry of activity, Hu Yu Wen Zhonghua were wide awake. The number of biological warriors was too small to control all the insect swarms, and they needed to find another way to deal with the high-level insect hordes. When they arrived at the main command room, it was still brightly lit, and the Alliance's senior commanders were busy adjusting their combat strategies based on every move on the defensive line.

Upon seeing Hu Yu arrive, Bi Cha came forward to greet him.

"General Hu Yu, Chief of Staff Wen, any news?"

"Not yet, have they contacted other Small Star Sector Civilization?"

"We've already contacted them, but they can't spare many fleets either. General, if necessary, let's send in the Allied fleet. The Allied fleet hasn't suffered any losses yet."

"The alliance's fleet should not be moved for now; even if it is, it won't be of much use."

Hu Yu paced back and forth in the massive command center, pondering how to deal with this enormous high-level insect swarm, the outcome of which would determine the war across the entire galaxy.

It's clear that the swarm came out in full force this time; otherwise, even though there were many insects, this high-level insect group was still a significant force for them, and they wouldn't have used it so casually.

Hu Yu turned his gaze to the rows of neutron stars behind the fleet. If these neutron stars were dragged into the swarm and detonated, the insects would surely be killed. However, the neutron stars were like nails embedded in a wall, firmly fixed in space, and had never moved since they were created.

Humanity is not the only civilization eyeing these neutron stars, but no Small Star Sector Civilization has been able to do so. Even with current human technology, it is impossible to move a neutron star even slightly, but stars with much greater mass than neutron stars can be moved with ease.

Moving celestial bodies involves using changes in the curvature of space to move them. To the mover, it's simply a matter of turning the celestial body into a giant spaceship. Therefore, if the celestial body is large and has a large mass, it can be moved simply by increasing the number of warp drives. However, if the celestial body's influence on space exceeds the influence of the warp drives, it becomes impossible to move the celestial body. Neutron stars have already affected the fourth dimension of space, making it virtually impossible to move them.

Hu Yu guessed that even Great Star Region Advanced Civilization would probably find it difficult to move a neutron star, otherwise they would have already used neutron stars on the battlefield. It should be noted that the special power of a neutron star is definitely no less than a dimensional reduction attack, but this is an attack that is not limited by space.

The next morning, Hu Yu, who hadn't slept all night, transported the biological warriors to the vicinity of the Neutron Star Defense Line via a space portal. Instead of deploying them immediately, he returned to the Academy of Sciences.

"Moving a neutron star! Difficult, extremely difficult." A group of top academicians shook their heads after hearing Hu Yu's idea.

"It's not entirely without a solution," Academician Zeng said slowly after a moment's thought.

"Really?! Academician, please tell us, what's the solution?"

"Neutron stars are not static; they still cannot resist the rules set by the central black hole. If we sever the brief connection between the neutron star and the central black hole, the neutron star will deviate from its original trajectory due to its strong inertia."
