My empire of stars

"The Devourer of Civilization has begun to exert mind control on our team. Our detectors have discovered abnormal fluctuations in the etheric space."

"The other party's mental control failed. Our team is all in a state of consciousness. The other party's mental control is ineffective against units that use consciousness to descend." The purple in the eyes of the ten soldiers in the video disappeared after flashing a few times.

"Very good, order the fleet to start attacking and weaken it as much as possible." Li Mingze nodded, as long as the other party can't control the person who uses consciousness to descend.

How can scientists do research if they can't even get close?

The heavy beam cannons carried on the 200,000 warships began to continuously accumulate energy, and a faint blue light appeared at the muzzle.

The Devourer of Civilization has sensed that something is wrong, and the large number of high-energy reactions in the Imperial fleet makes it feel very frightened.

Huge purple tentacles began to rise from the surface of the planet. These tentacles continued to become thicker and longer, and soon reached the same length as the diameter of the planet.

These tentacles began to entangle with each other in front of the planet, forming a huge shield.

Obviously the Devourer of Civilization wants to use this shield to resist the coming attack.

Time passed by, and the heavy beam cannon of the Imperial Mechanical Warship had completed charging. Two hundred thousand dazzling blue light beams shot from the Imperial Fleet to the shield made of tentacles in front. A large amount of purple mucus evaporated instantly, and civilization The Devourer roared in rage.

Unfortunately, the power of these beam cannons was still inferior. The tentacle shield was not completely destroyed by this salvo, but it also paid the price of having almost half of the tentacles melted away.

The already crazy Devourer of Civilization controlled his planet-sized body and rushed towards the Imperial fleet regardless.

Although it seems slow, in terms of planetary displacement, the speed of the Devourer of Civilization has undoubtedly caught up with the cruising speed of the Imperial Mechanical Battleship.

Tentacles began to fly in space. Because there was no limit to air resistance, these tentacles waved at an astonishing speed. Many mechanical battleships that had no time to dodge were smashed into pieces.

At this time, the shortcomings of the mechanical battleship programs were revealed. These computer programs did not have the ability to respond in a timely manner. They could only choose the most appropriate one among tens of thousands of different contingency measures set before departure.

The most important thing is that they do not have the ability unique to living things: the perception of danger!

All soldiers who stay on the battlefield for a long time or creatures who are often hunted by predators will have a special ability. They can foresee danger coming!

If it is a human driver, they can make timely evasive actions based on this perception of danger, but the program cannot.

These programs will only evade when danger is calculated, which is simply a fatal flaw in the face of the devourer of civilization that can change the direction and intensity of the attack at any time.

A large number of mechanical battleships were smashed into fragments all over the sky by the tentacles, and beam cannons were continuously fired from the middle of the tentacles. Unfortunately, these beam cannons could only cause very limited damage to tentacles that were several kilometers thick.

"Okay, order half of the fleet to retreat, and the other half to carry out a suicide attack!" Li Mingze ordered decisively when he saw that he had successfully attracted a large amount of purple mucus from the Devourer of Civilization.

Half of the mechanical battleships that were fighting the tentacles suddenly turned around and left, while the other half accelerated towards the main body of the Devourer of Civilization.

The Devourer of Civilization already felt something was wrong at this time. This suicide attack reminded it of the painful experience not long ago.

In panic, it began to control its tentacles in an attempt to wrap up the warships that were charging forward. But this happened to fall into the empire's cunning plan. More than 80,000 mechanical warships filled with nuclear bombs suddenly exploded after being surrounded by tentacles, turning into more than 80,000 balls of light.

The tentacles surrounding these battleships were evaporated in an instant, and the Devourer of Civilization once again suffered heavy losses. The body that was originally the size of an earth began to shrink, and soon shrunk to two-thirds of its original size.

"Turn on the hyperspace jammer, don't let it escape!" As Li Mingze yelled, six hyperspace jammers were activated on the outside of the entire star system. The connection between the star system and hyperspace was completely cut off. All ships can no longer jump into hyperspace.

Li Mingze guessed correctly. After being severely damaged, the Devourer of Civilization first wanted to escape into hyperspace.

But when it couldn't sense the existence of hyperspace anyway, it realized that something was wrong. The fleet in front of it actually blocked its retreat!

"No! Let's make an exchange. How about you let me go and I will never come close to your star field!"

"What kind of technology do you want? There are a lot of good things in the memories I have swallowed here. As long as you let me go, I can give them all to you."

Finding that there was nowhere to escape, and there were nearly 100,000 warships in front of it, the Devourer of Civilization decisively gave in. The experience of living for hundreds of millions of years told it that it would not worry about leaving green mountains without firewood, as long as it could save itself. His life and dignity are not a problem!

"No, no, no, I won't let you go. I'm very, very interested in your body and abilities."

"If you are willing to surrender and cooperate with our research, I can promise not to kill you. How about freedom in exchange for your life!" Li Mingze replied decisively after receiving the message from the civilization devourer in his mind, showing no mercy.

"I" the Devourer of Civilization looked around with my mental power. I originally planned to wait for an opportunity to escape, but suddenly I found that the surrounding star systems were filled with warships!

Feeling the huge number of these battleships, thinking that these battleships were not under its mental control like the previous mechanical battleships, it decisively gave up its plan to escape.

"I surrender." The Devourer of Civilization raised its two huge tentacles above its body and made a gesture of surrender. This was something it learned from the civilization it devoured.

"Very good, I like to deal with smart people!" Li Mingze clapped his hands.

"Next, you will stay here honestly and actively cooperate with our scientists. You will be able to move around freely in six months!" Li Mingze's words made the Devourers of Civilization feel ecstatic. Are they planning to let them go after six months? leave? Hum hum, that's when the time comes.

You can summon the tribesmen outside and wipe out this damn civilization!

However, what it never expected was that six months later, a new imperial fleet appeared in front of it.
