Chapter 379 Unlocking the Drone Swarm
The Davis Expansion Committee's fleet was stunned by the missiles. They didn't expect that this weak civilization would dare to resist.
Didn't their destruction of millions of warships from this civilization have a deterrent effect? Do these stupid primitive people think that these backward weapons can hurt their warships?
With a violent explosion, the golden fleet was too lazy to fight back, and let several rounds of missiles hit the shields of their warships without causing even a ripple.
"It's useless for you to do this. The warships of the Expansion Committee are too powerful. You must concentrate all your attacks in an instant to destroy their shields!" Davis Council saw that this backward civilization actually used ordinary inter-civilization combat tactics against such a powerful Expansion Committee and couldn't help but remind them.
"We are not fools. How about Tianyi? Do you know whether their shields are roughly strong enough?" Li Mingze rolled his eyes and asked Tianyi.
"It has been calculated that our conventional missile attacks will reach hundreds of millions to break their shields."
"If we use high-powered nuclear torpedoes, the number will be reduced to one million." Tianyi nodded and replied.
"And this is just to break their shields. The remaining armor still needs a lot of missiles to break." Tianyi sighed.
"Eva, order our fleet to focus on the attack first to buy time for our secret weapon." Li Mingze patted Eva's shoulder and switched his consciousness to the flagship in the Hive Fleet.
The original Crescent was transformed into a drone mothership and served as the flagship of this new secret fleet.
The reason why Li Mingze did not use gravity bombs on the fleet of the Davis Expansion Committee but used the secret fleet was because he knew that even if he launched gravity bombs, with the powerful technology of the Davis Security Council civilization, his gravity bombs would not have any effect, but would be wasted.
"Your Majesty, do you want to unlock the swarm? Once the order is issued, the unlocking of the swarm will enter an irreversible stage." The flagship's artificial intelligence stood expressionlessly beside Li Mingze and asked.
"Confirm to unlock, unlock key JM189." Li Mingze nodded, said the unlock key of this fleet, and then entered the password on the console.
After confirming that the password and key were correct, the alarm sounded in the flagship, and the lights in the bridge turned red.
Then, in the drone hangars of each drone mothership, capsules of half the size of a person were taken out of the freezer and soaked in nutrient solution.
As the capsule was torn from the inside, countless flesh tentacles stretched out from the capsule into the nutrient solution, and a huge meat ball gradually took shape.
After a few seconds, after the meat ball turned into a drone, the body of this biological drone was lifted from the nutrient solution by a robotic arm and placed on the assembly line next to it.
The robotic arm on the assembly line placed modules composed of various components on the drone body.
As the flesh buds on the drone body squirmed, these modules were swallowed into the body.
"The control chip began to connect, and all modules were turned on." As the drone passed a scanner, a little light lit up on the drone, and various modules in its body had been activated.
"Install the nuclear torpedo reactor." As the drone came to a room spewing nuclear symbols, a spherical reactor was stuffed into the drone.
This spherical reactor is a dual-purpose nuclear torpedo reactor module. It can not only provide energy for the drone's weapons, but also self-detonate to generate huge energy.
After all the modules were installed, the surface of the drone began to harden and formed a thick shell.
As the drone came to the end of the assembly line, a mechanical arm grabbed it and threw it onto the conveyor belt on the side.
As the conveyor belt turned, a drone was thrown out from an open gap in the drone mothership.
After entering space, the drone was like a fish returning to the water, flying flexibly in space. This was the control chip testing whether the various functions of the drone were normal.
In just one minute, a drone appeared outside the drone mothership from nothing.
As time passed, a thick layer of flying drones began to surround the drone mothership.
At this time, Eva's fleet had been in a bitter battle with the fleet of Davis Expansion Committee.
Eva's mechanical warships were much lower in quality than those of the Expansion Committee, and the secondary guns of the Expansion Committee warships could easily smash them.
To deal with a warship of the Expansion Committee, all mechanical warships needed to focus their fire to tear its shield apart.
Fortunately, the first warship of the Expansion Committee was destroyed. After Eva and the Imperial Fleet's salvo took away the shield of the warship, the Davis Council's warships blasted the warship into pieces.
In order to destroy this warship, Eva's fleet paid the price of up to one million warships, while the Sith Empire and Davis Council's losses were still zero.
"You have to hold on, at least buy us an hour!" Li Mingze gritted his teeth and said to Eva.
"My fleet suffered heavy losses. They destroyed one million warships in one encounter! You should know that I only have 150 million warships in total!"
"According to the frequency of their warships' firing, my fleet can only hold out for 149 minutes!" Eva's heart was bleeding.
"Don't worry, when our swarm is assembled, the scales of victory will tip over to us." Li Mingze patted Eva's shoulder and signaled her to relax.
In this way, Eva's fleet and Davis's expansion committee's fleet fought for nearly a hundred minutes.
At this time, the Empire's swarm fleet had disappeared, replaced by densely packed "swarm" drones that kept flying.
In a hundred minutes, two billion drones were manufactured, and each drone mothership built an average of one thousand drones per minute.
These drones consumed a large amount of nutrient solution stored in the drone mothership.
Although these drones seem to be numerous, their lifespan is only twelve hours. After twelve hours, these drones will turn into flying ash.
But this is enough. The assembled drone swarm rushed towards the battlefield like a dark cloud.
"Open the swarm data link, target the golden battleship of the expansion committee, and execute a suicide attack!" Li Mingze sat on the command seat of the flagship of the drone mothership, with a classic sneer on his lips.
