Super Mothership

"Finally, there is a decent spaceship! It's decided, the name of 'Sea Wolf' will be inherited by you from today!" Nie Yun decided with a slap on the thigh.

After experiencing small fishing boats, large fishing boats, medieval sailing warships, aerospace warships, space warships, and now this huge super mothership, the Sea Wolf has been continuously swallowed, decomposed and reorganized, but the name has been retained by Nie Yun.

The Sea Wolf has witnessed the life of Nie Yun for more than ten years, and also witnessed the rise of Nie Yun's planet from scratch. Nie Yun hopes that one day in the future, this name will be able to accompany the greatest fisherman to resound through the stars and the sea!

At the moment Nie Yun made his decision, the display names of the Longevity and several warships in all systems disappeared, and the next moment had become "Sea Wolf", followed by a small line of words - the flagship of Earth civilization!

After the code had finished everything, he looked at Nie Yun with a serious face.

"Your Excellency Captain, during your previous rest period, there was an abnormal situation. I think I need to report it to you."

"Abnormal situation?" Nie Yun wondered.

"Yes! While you were sleeping, unstable fluctuations appeared in the mechanical insect decomposition pools in the bases of the solar system at almost the same time. This is the recorded video data!"

The light screen opened, and the picture was a mechanical insect decomposition pool in a space base. Many engineering robots poured a large number of steel ingots into it. Under the swallowing of the silver liquid mechanical insects, the steel ingots quickly dissolved in the decomposition pool.

This kind of decomposition pool is the place where Nie Yun uses for the proliferation of mechanical insects. When necessary, Nie Yun can call the mechanical insects in the decomposition pool for equipment manufacturing or transformation work, which can be said to be the fundamental core of each base.

The picture was quite normal at the beginning, but the next moment, Nie Yun was stunned to see that the originally calm silver liquid surface suddenly had ripples, and then the ripples gradually expanded, like a wave.

The silver waves were about to pour out of the container of the decomposition pool, but soon, this strange fluctuation quickly calmed down, as if it had never happened.

It's just that there are many pitted gaps on the wall of the container, which seem to be directly swallowed by mechanical insects.

The silver wave changed from stillness, and then from movement to stillness. It was just a few seconds, but Nie Yun was startled.

A sudden outburst of unrest followed by an immediate suppression...

This is Nie Yun's first feeling after seeing the picture!

See the video recording time,

This is the point in time when I'm in deep sleep...

Before controlling 5 "Hou Yi" warships to "transform" at the same time, Nie Yun was almost exhausted and fell into a deep sleep for a short time afterwards. unknown changes.

Nie Yun's sleep time has become less and less now. With the slow increase of mental power, he only needs to close his eyes and sleep for a while, his brain can be fully rested, so this kind of deep sleep has not appeared for a long time.

According to previous experience, although Nie Yun did enter the "unconscious" state during deep sleep, the "subconscious mind" still has the ability to control the mechanical insects instinctively, and the mechanical insects will continue to work normally according to the instructions previously set by Nie Yun.

However, the abnormal situation that appeared now broke Nie Yun's original cognition.

It seems that when I was just sleeping... sleepwalking?

Not conscious, but the body moved on its own...Nie Yun is this weird feeling now.

"How many places did this happen?" Nie Yun asked with a frown.

"A total of 8 places, all appear in the decomposition pool."

"It's all decomposing the pool?" Nie Yun lowered his head and thought.

Nie Yun's mechanical insects usually have three purposes, used to form equipment, used to manufacture equipment, and used to devour and multiply...

Obviously, the mechanical insects that entered the "sleepwalking" state all belong to the third type.

After thinking about it, Nie Yun's order for these mechanical insects is the simplest, that is, eat, sleep, sleep, eat...

"Could it be that this is enough to eat?" Nie Yun was a little puzzled.

Mechanical bug: "..."

Is it easier to get out of control if there is no command constraint?

In fact, with the geometric expansion of mechanical insects, the number is approaching the level of tens of millions of tons, and Nie Yun has vaguely aware of his own upper limit.

Nie Yun needs mental power to control the mechanical insects. The more the number of controls, the more precise the operation, which means that the more orders Nie Yun needs to issue at the same time.

For example, controlling 5 warships at the same time to "transform" this time, this is not as simple as issuing a fire order from the dynasty code. The number of mechanical insects controlled by Nie Yun at the same time is completely in units of 100 million trillion, and the consumption of mental power is quite terrifying.

During this time, most of Nie Yun's energy was devoted to the study of spiritual power, and one of the spiritual skills attracted Nie Yun's attention... that was the seemingly ordinary spiritual communication!

From a scientific point of view, this skill shows that mental power can be used to transmit information.

Telephone transmission of information consumes electrical energy, while spiritual communication and transmission of information consumes spiritual power!

Looking at it this way, Nie Yun's consumption of mechanical worms also includes mental power. Isn't it a coincidence?

Nie Yun boldly guessed that the communication method of the mechanical worm could be an extremely clever technique of spiritual communication? Even a hybrid technology based on "quantum technology" and "psychic technology"!

To know that manipulating a mechanical worm requires not only mental power, but also energy. If it is reversed from the "power source" of this communication, this kind of guess is most likely to be close to the truth!

With the technological level of the Ayres civilization and the related technologies of spiritual power, Nie Yun would not be surprised at all.

According to this guess, the control of mechanical insects requires two elements, one is energy, and the other is spiritual power!

Energy is not a problem for Nie Yun. At least according to the current situation, the communication distance of only a few light-years and the communication between nearly 10 million tons of mechanical insects are still not worth mentioning, but... Mental strength seems to have become a bottleneck.

Although the expansion of the mechanical worm has continuously expanded the total upper limit of Nie Yun's spiritual power, reaching a point that is extremely surprising to the longevity, but it is clear that the growth of Nie Yun's spiritual power is still completely unable to keep up with the geometric proliferation of mechanical worms. .

In other words, Nie Yun's CPU can no longer carry so many mechanical bugs...

If you have to take it if you can't carry it, it will inevitably "get stuck" occasionally.

Under the condition of deep sleep, Nie Yun's ability to control the mechanical insects will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. It seems that the subconscious restraint alone is not enough to perfectly control such a large number of mechanical insects!

In other words, some of the mechanical bugs overflowed Nie Yun's control consciousness...

For the mechanical bugs who have been given the "eat and sleep" instructions, if they lose their controllers, they will spontaneously search for new food and eat all the metals they see...

Fortunately, it was discovered early and did not cause any major harm. If the number of mechanical worms expands further, maybe if I fall asleep, I will find that the earth has been gnawed by potholes...

Earth: "..." (o((⊙﹏⊙))o)

"Has it reached the limit?" Nie Yun sighed in his heart.

Unless Nie Yun's mental strength has increased significantly, the current number of mechanical insects is almost the limit of Nie Yun's control.

"The strategy of sweeping the entire universe with the sea of ​​worms seems to have to be adjusted a little..." Nie Yun was helpless.

Although he regretted it in his heart, he still immediately ordered that all the mechanical bugs stop blindly multiplying.

In order to prevent the mechanical worms from getting out of control, he had to match their proliferation rate with his own mental strength. How to balance it requires further experiments by Nie Yun.

As the order was issued, the expansion work of the mechanical bug was officially transferred from market regulation to macro regulation!

"Alas! I promised there was no family planning... I'm sorry! I broke my promise..."

Mechanical bug: "..." (ˉ―ˉ?)
