Chapter 401: Pioneer Ship

Inner circle of the ‘cradle’.

In the boundless void, a huge fleet is moving forward at a normal cruising speed.

The appearance of these warships is so strange that it can be called weird.

The purple-red hull is one size smaller than the standard cruiser.

But the overall structure is like a half-rug shape cut from the middle, with long fungal roots dragging behind the buttocks. Only in the area equipped with different types of propellers, there are huge injection slots.

The back and abdomen of the hull are densely covered with small bulge-like protrusions.

From a distance in the void, it is like adding an engine to the corpse of a giant void creature.

Pioneer ship

There are as many as 100,000 ships, and the size looks very uniform.

Such a large-scale battleship cluster should have warships of various models and uses neatly configured.

But the fleet in front of us is the opposite, all composed of ships of the same model.

Even if the entire fleet array is carefully observed, there is no way to confirm the location of the flagship.

In particular, this fleet has always maintained a silent communication state during its journey.

Whether it is medium- and short-range radio communication or ultra-long-range quantum communication, there is no sign of detectable signal transmission, and no useful information can be intercepted at all.

This strange and weird fleet is a pioneering fleet led by the brain worm Wilson.

After the great master issued the "Pioneering Order", not only the single-eyed worm population was crazy for the pioneering ship.

The brain worm group also fell into a fierce competition for the pioneering task.

The single-eyed worm that took on the pioneering task could only drive the ultra-low-profile pioneering ship in team mode.

In order to expand the scope of pioneering as much as possible and reduce the risk of self-exposure, it is basically based on a single pioneering ship, and they will be responsible for a vast void area alone.

Often adopt a free-range mode, after selecting a piece of Feng Shui treasure land.

These guys will spread the fungal blanket seeds, then quietly leave, and come back to harvest when the fungal blanket is almost grown.

As a high-level unit of the swarm, the brain worm can certainly get a pioneering treatment that is far better than the single-eyed worm population.

After getting the pioneering order, they can directly apply for a fleet of corresponding size based on their past accumulated military exploits.

They can even use the accumulated military exploits to exchange for a specially customized life-saving star shuttle.

This super star shuttle is extremely small in size, with a total length of no more than 20 meters, but its main configuration is very complete, and they are all cutting-edge equipment with extremely high technological content.

Not only is it equipped with a defensive force field generator, but the star shuttle is also engraved with complex defensive divine patterns and defensive magic array patterns.

In an emergency, the three-layer shield that is instantly supported is enough to withstand a large number of attacks in a short period of time.

At the same time, the powerful curvature engine of the super star shuttle is in full power operation mode.

It can also push the star shuttle into superluminal speed in a short period of time, thereby escaping from the battlefield area.

Although the function of the curvature engine is far inferior to that of the jump engine.

But it has the advantages of lower energy consumption, shorter start-up preparation time, relatively cheaper cost, more durable than jump engines, and can be started multiple times in a short period of time.

All these have made it a long-lasting hot-selling product.

The hull structure of ordinary large warships is often difficult to withstand such high-intensity continuous acceleration.

But these specially made super star shuttles are not only small in size, but also made of extremely expensive magic metals.

The casting process has reached the highest level of Liu Dan's family.

The material and labor costs of each super star shuttle are almost hundreds of times that of the new Zerg warships.

Even Liu Dan, who has never been short of money, thought that Han Fei had been stimulated by something in his brain and suddenly changed his nature when he received this order.

He was willing to spend a lot of money to build these super star shuttles with little actual combat power.

In Han Fei's explanation, these super star shuttles are exclusive vehicles provided for brain worms.

They are specially used to ensure that they can return to the divine domain intact when they encounter powerful enemies that are difficult to match.

Liu Dan still couldn't understand this.

Over the years, Mu Peng had rented brainworms from Han Fei to remotely control the main combat insect swarm to fight the enemy.

Liu Dan was naturally not unfamiliar with brainworms.

In his opinion, the collective consciousness network built by brainworms was indeed very good.

But its main use was still limited to the insect swarm.

He had asked the rented brainworms to control the consciousness of other species or pull them into the consciousness network, but these brainworms couldn't do it at all.

At most, it could only achieve the effect of mental intrusion, causing the invaded creatures to fall into madness or coma.

This is completely different from consciousness transmission and control, and there are many alternative means.

Therefore, in Liu Dan's view, the value of brainworms is ultimately limited.

At least it is far less than the value of hero-level followers, and there is no need to spend so much money to build exclusive vehicles for them.

Han Fei just smiled and said nothing about Liu Dan's opinion, and he didn't intend to explain in detail.

After all, the brainworm group has already involved his core secrets.

If Han Fei hadn't said it, no one would have guessed that among these cowardly guys, a very high proportion of them would be promoted to Holy Spirit.

Especially after years of research by the Holy Spirit Cultivation Team, it was found that the more severely the brainworms were rolled, the higher the chance of promotion would be when facing a life-and-death situation.

Han Fei simply took advantage of the plan to expand the inner circle of the cradle and guided the brainworm group into a more intense internal competition.

In order to make these cowards actively accept the pioneering mission, in addition to offering irresistible inducements, they must also provide them with better life protection.

Otherwise, these cowards may not take risks for rewards.

Issuing an oracle as a master and forcing them to accept the pioneering mission is not as effective as stimulating their subjective initiative and making them willing to fight for their lives.

With a life-saving star shuttle, like Wilson, he did not hesitate to apply for a high war loan from the military.

It is also necessary to form a large pioneering fleet, and there are many brainworms who go out to fight.
