Chapter 166: Analyzing Technical Data

【Command received.】

【Target: King Insect-class Mothership.】

【Beginning information scan and duplication……】

The system's alert tone sounded in Qin Hao's mind.

The next second, a flood of data so complex it was hard to imagine surged continuously into his brain.

This is also a function Qin Hao only recently discovered—technical data can not only be sent to a computer, but can also be directly transmitted into a person's brain.

Instantly, those extremely complex biological codes, energy circuit diagrams, and gene sequence chains, in his consciousness, were rapidly classified, organized, and analyzed.

A massive, intricately structured biological warship was being peeled open layer by layer in his mind.

"So that's how it is……"

A flash of realization passed through Qin Hao's eyes.

He saw the essence of this King Insect mothership, and indeed of the entire Moyun Civilization fleet.

Their tech tree had taken a path completely different from human civilization's, an extremely specialized one.

"This is a civilization whose core is biotechnology."

Qin Hao silently analyzed it in his mind.

"Their warships, essentially, are huge living organisms that have been genetically engineered and cultivated to grow."

These organisms, from the embryonic stage, have been implanted with specific "function genes."

Some are responsible for producing a sturdy biological carapace, serving as the warship's "armor."

Some are responsible for building a complex neural network, serving as the warship's "brain."

Others have specialized into biological organs capable of firing high-energy plasma, serving as "turrets."

And their power source,

is neither the nuclear fusion nor antimatter reactors familiar to humanity.

but rather a structure similar to a "biological battery."

The warship's core region is a huge "stomach" filled with high-energy nutrient fluid.

They ingest asteroids or other organic matter, breaking it down in the "stomach" and converting it into a special form of biological electrical energy, stored in mitochondria-like organelles throughout the body.

"This power mode is far too inefficient."

Qin Hao immediately identified the crux of the problem.

"Although the total stored energy is enormous, the power output is limited by the organism itself.

"It's like a fat person: although they have plenty of fat, they cannot instantly burst into a hundred-meter sprint speed."

This is why the Moyun warship's shields and weapons appear unimpressive in power.

It's not that they lack energy, but that their power source cannot deliver a sufficiently large current in a short time.

"Their shields are not pure energy fields, but a mixture of biological and energy fields."

Qin Hao continued his analysis.

"This shield works fairly well against physical impacts and area-of-energy attacks.

but when faced with high-energy-density, high-penetration laser cannons, it proves inadequate—like using a leather shield to block a sharpened iron spear."

Piece by piece of information was clearly dissected by Qin Hao.

Their biological armor, while having some resistance to energy attacks, has poor mechanical strength and greatly fears impacts from high-speed kinetic weapons.

Their biological brains, though fast at computation, have very "rigid" logical judgment; once the battle situation exceeds preset patterns, they easily fall into chaos.

Their weapons, though varied—plasma balls, strong acid sprays, pheromone interference—all share a common flaw——

slow flight speed, short range, making them easy to intercept and evade.

"They are…… riddled with flaws from head to toe."

Qin Hao reached his final conclusion.

This so-called Moyun civilization is essentially a severely specialized "specialty student."

In biotechnology and psychic power utilization, they may have reached an extremely high level.

But in traditional energy, materials, and physical law applications, they remain at a rather elementary stage.

They are like a mage who only knows how to use "magic,"

once they meet a warrior wearing anti-magic armor and wielding a Gatling gun, they are left only to be soundly beaten.

As for being capable of faster-than-light travel, that is also somewhat unique to them, having a natural affinity for space; however, their speed still does not match our side's latest warp drive.

"However, their genetic engineering technology is quite interesting."

Qin Hao's attention was drawn to a piece of data in the King Insect mothership's core database.

It was the complete gene sequence and cultivation plan for the "Ripper" bio-mech.

"Through gene editing, perfectly blending the advantages of different species to create an entirely new combat organism……

this technology holds great reference value for our Federation's biological sciences."

Qin Hao unceremoniously packaged this data, together with the King Insect mothership's full structural diagrams, power system analysis, and weapon system weakness report, and sent it to the Academy of Sciences.

……

Blue Star, Federal Central Academy of Sciences.

Academician Qian Bowen and the scientists of various fields,

they are continuously analyzing the enemy's data through real-time battlefield information relayed from the front lines.

"No way! The data is still too scarce! It's hard to fully parse their tech tree.

"We cannot establish an effective tech tree model! We can only build it piece by piece, which is far too slow."

A former Yingjiang Guo scholar, frowning, said.

Doctor Dan Ni, don't worry! Looking at it now, humanity's victory is just a matter of time; when we capture a few of their warships and slowly dissect them, we'll figure everything out.

Qian Bowen chimed in from the side.

"All right!" Upon hearing that, Dan Ni nodded helplessly.

Just then, Qian Bowen's phone rang.

He picked it up and saw it was Qin Hao calling.

"Are you Academician Qian? I have some data here that I think you'll be interested in."

Qian Bowen froze for a moment, then immediately understood.

"Haha! You came at just the right time—I won't say more, just send it over!"

Less than two seconds after hanging up, a massive data packet came through.

Qian Bowen merely glanced at it briefly, and his pupils contracted sharply.

【Moyun Civilization mother ship complete technical analysis information】

……

"Doctor, the problem you mentioned earlier has now been solved."

Qian Bowen's face broke into a smile.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Dan Ni looked puzzled.

"Take a look yourself!" Saying that, Qian Bowen handed over the phone.

As soon as Dan Ni finished looking, he became agitated: "Academician Qian, where did this come from?"

"I'm very sorry, but this is a Federal core secret—I don't know either."

Qian Bowen told a lie.

Upon hearing that, Dan Ni stopped asking further; there were many things he wasn't cleared to know.

Soon, Qian Bowen sent the data out.
