Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 620 - 191 Trap_3

However, once the number of the Mechanical Race increases and they form a cluster, the pollutants they produce will cause extreme damage to the normal ecological environment.

And even the Mechanical Race itself does not have a good way to handle these pollutants.

So their method is to first find a place to store them, store them up to a certain amount, and then release them into the environment.

To the Mechanical Race, whether a planet is habitable is irrelevant, as they themselves are not affected by these pollutants, so it doesn’t matter which planet they are released on.

This is the reason why the Insect Race can track the Mechanical Race; each individual of the Mechanical Race carries these nanorobots that produce pollutants.

The nanorobots are the Insect Race’s markers.

In any case, Chen Ming increasingly feels that there might have been some issues between the Insect Race and the Mechanical Race in the past, perhaps even before humanity had stepped out of its own star system.

Now the situation with the Mechanical Race is unusual.

Because as Chen Ming delves deeper into the current situation, he suddenly recalls a sentence Bai Quan said to him earlier.

"The Mechanical Race, when fighting humans, will absolutely fight to the death and only retreat when it’s utterly impossible to continue."

What Bai Quan referred to as fighting to the death would never be like the current situation; it would certainly be a fight to the last soldier.

The Mechanical Race also cannot possibly be unaware that someone is manipulating these Insect Races from behind the scenes.

Especially after Chen Ming wiped out the Mechanical Race’s second batch of reinforcements and swept the ground with a Speed Particle Spear, the Mechanical Race should all the more fight to the death.

It can’t be that when facing insects, the Mechanical Race loses the ruthlessness they had when facing humans.

This instead seems like a lure, enticing the Insect Race to continue spending a lot of time tracking these Mechanical Race individuals scattered and fleeing.

At this point, Chen Ming finally realized that the trap of the Mechanical Race might not be laid on the planet, set before those fleeing individuals, but potentially in a much broader area.

He lifted his head and looked out at the starry sky through the window of the Supreme Point.

The third batch of reinforcements from the Mechanical Race might have already arrived. The Mechanical Race knows Chen Ming’s combat power and the situation of his fleet, and they know that if they want to completely keep Chen Ming, they can’t appear directly in front of him.

They must make some preparations, some arrangements.

Thus, it makes complete sense for the Mechanical Race on the ground to cooperate by doing things they would not normally do.

After figuring this out, a sense of pressure appeared in Chen Ming’s heart.

The Mechanical Race individuals fleeing out of the city, having lost their cluster, are no longer a threat to the Insect Race, merely walking trophies.

And the city has also been abandoned by the Mechanical Race, leaving everything inside for Chen Ming to control.

The Mechanical Race is not using those individuals as bait, but is using the entire city as bait to trap Chen Ming on this planet, in this star system.

But how exactly the Mechanical Race intends to do this, Chen Ming still cannot be sure.

Yet at this moment, Chen Ming’s Spiritual Energy suddenly came into play, and a sense of danger from beyond the star system transmitted into his mind.

This sense of danger felt like a shroud, gradually closing, gradually confining Chen Ming completely within this star system.

Chen Ming took a deep breath, steeling himself.

Then he immediately gave an order to the Insect Queen to directly recall the Insect Race and stop tracking the fleeing Mechanical Race, and instead concentrate on capturing the Mechanical Race on the ground. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He needs to take away as many needed trophies as possible before the shroud-like sense of danger he perceives completely closes.

After all, to Chen Ming, whether the Mechanical Race is fleeing or remaining in the city, they are all individuals of the Mechanical Race that can enhance his Hive Mind Network of the Mechanical Race, with no essential difference.

The only difference lies in their abilities as former Mechanical Race bodies.

But as long as Chen Ming masters the manufacturing method of the Mechanical Race, the physical differences will no longer be differences.

Therefore, Chen Ming directly changed his mindset to prioritize efficiency in capturing Mechanical Race individuals.

He doesn’t have much time left.

He must start the Teleportation Engine before the final moment arrives, taking the captured Mechanical Race away.

As for the Insect Race on the planet, they will have to remain there.

After all, the number of these Insect Race units has grown to a terrifying extent during this period of the Insect Queen’s development, and even with many losses during the attack on the city, two cruisers cannot carry them away in a short time.

At that time, these insects will be directly absorbed by the Insect Queen, converted into the most basic energy crystals.

Chen Ming’s Spiritual Energy can precisely recycle these energy crystals, minimizing losses.

One minute later.

Chen Ming’s Supreme Point landed near the cruiser at the city’s core.

And during its landing, Chen Ming had already released a batch of robots equipped with the Dusk core from the Supreme Point, who boarded landing boats and landed in advance.

Following this, another Defender, which had separated from the Supreme Point, landed in the city’s center, coordinating with the Insect Race to clean up the battlefield.

Chen Ming’s idea was to have these Dusk robots find those Mechanical Race units with circuit damage and immediately connect to the circuits for control.

As long as the Mechanical Race is controlled by Chen Ming, they will transform into anomalous sub-individuals, and Chen Ming can directly transfer the consciousness of these anomalous sub-individuals into the Hive Mind Network of the Mechanical Race he constructed.
