Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 175, Highly Algorithmic Factional Warfare

'King of Blades' swept his gaze over the immortals present, his compound eyes showing no fluctuation. He merely nodded slightly and uttered a cold voice, using the most ancient Zerg common language, carrying a special charm accumulated over countless years.

"By order of the Lord of Bilong, I have come to take over command of the second battlefield."

His words were concise and succinct, carrying an undeniable authority. He exuded a powerful aura of law, causing the immortal gods of several vassal races to subconsciously lower their heads slightly.

The smile on Venerable Riga's face remained unchanged. His worm-like lower body swayed slightly as he took a step forward, responding gently.

"Welcome, Mantis King. The Lord of Azure Ridge has already sent word to me. I am Ruijia, and these two are Blood Mist and Crystal Wing. These are from our allied tribes."

She introduced each of the venerable ones present.

"King of the Mantis" listened quietly, his compound eyes occasionally sweeping over those being introduced. Every immortal being looked at felt a chill, as if their souls were being scraped by an invisible blade.

His demeanor was arrogant and aloof, like that of a powerful Zerg king who had long been in seclusion and cultivating.

"I will give you a detailed report on the situation at the command post later. The Lord of Bilong specifically instructed that the command post will provide full support in providing you with all the resources you need."

Queen Ruijia concluded.

"Ah."

'King of Blades' remains as simple and cold as ever.

"Take me to the main control room. I need to understand the battlefield situation immediately."

"Please come with me."

Queen Ruijia stepped aside to lead the way.

As 'Knife Mantis King' took a step, its dark golden scythe-like limbs struck the biological surface, producing a crisp and penetrating "tap, tap" sound. Each step seemed to be on the heartbeat of all the immortals present, and the invisible pressure made the atmosphere exceptionally heavy.

The mist around the Blood Mist Queen churned slightly, and the Crystal Wing Queen's butterfly wings stopped flapping for a moment.

They exchanged a silent thought: this parachuted commander seemed even more powerful and unfathomable than they had anticipated.

With a unique rhythmic gait, 'King of Blades', or rather Jiang Ming, officially stepped into the core of the Zerg war machine.

An invisible storm, revolving around him and sweeping across the entire Second Front and beyond, is about to begin.

His heart was utterly calm, as still as ice.

"Crimson Flame, select all the strong individuals in the second battlefield, especially those with great potential, and make a list."

On his way to the main control chamber, Jiang Ming gave orders to his intelligent life form through a consciousness connection.

The Lord of Bilong had already gathered all the information and intelligence she knew into the data core of Crimson Flame.

"Yes, Master."

Crimson Flame's response arrived instantly.

The main control chamber is even larger than the outside, with a dome suspended high above. Countless fine, neural network-like bio-optical cables hang down from the fleshy dome, connecting to tens of thousands of operating nodes below.

Numerous intelligent programs of various forms are working efficiently, much like worker bees.

They do not communicate, they do not pause; the entire chamber is filled only with extremely faint bioelectric hissing and the flashing light of data streams, creating a cold yet highly efficient operational scene.

At the center is a huge, constantly shifting biomass platform, above which floats an incredibly complex three-dimensional star map, a miniature model of the second battlefield and its surrounding star field.

On the star map, the dark red dots representing the Zerg army and the bright white dots representing the Terran army intertwine, permeate, and devour each other. The flashing or annihilation of each dot may signify the change of control of a star system battlefield or the destruction of a fleet.

Countless tiny data streams flowed like waterfalls around the star map, updating the battlefield situation in real time. "'King of Blades,' this is the current overall situation."

The thoughts of Venerable Ruijia were transmitted, pointing to the three-dimensional star map.

"The human race has deployed more than thirty units of the Cosmic Nation Legion, as well as a large number of troops from vassal races, to the second front."

Their offensive was fierce, especially in the areas of the 'Shattered Star Ring' and the 'Dark Dust Cloud Sea'.

The compound eyes of the 'Sword Mantis King' locked onto the star map, but there was no indication of anything.

He extended his sharp, scythe-like forelimbs and gently touched the star map.

hum!
The star map responded instantly, as if his will had been directly connected to the entire Zerg command network.

In an instant, a massive amount of information flooded into his consciousness like a tidal wave.

Real-time status, energy levels, and ammunition reserves of tens of billions of combat units.
Tactical assessments, win rate predictions, and exchange ratios for hundreds of thousands of local battlefields.
Analysis of the location, capabilities, and threat level of known powerful figures on both sides.
The status of logistics supply lines, the mining situation in resource star systems, and the mobilization progress of reserve forces.
It even includes hundreds of possible branches of future battlefield scenarios derived from massive data models!
This information flow was so vast that it could instantly overwhelm the consciousness of an ordinary immortal god.

Jiang Ming calmly filtered and absorbed this information, while simultaneously sensing the command methods of the Zerg command system.

Highly algorithmic!
Almost all tactical suggestions, troop deployment plans, and even predictions of enemy actions do not come directly from the subjective judgment of a commander, but are processed in advance by an incredibly large and complex super war algorithm system called "Hive Will".

This system connects to every Zerg unit on the battlefield, collects all data, conducts almost infinite simulations, and ultimately generates several, or even dozens, of “optimal” or “second-best” solutions, which are then presented to the commander with decision-making authority.

The role of a commander is not to create tactics out of thin air, but to make the final decision based on their own experience and intuition, within the limited choices provided by the algorithm.

Even the supreme commander is no exception.

"Sure enough."

Jiang Ming understood.

The Lord of Bilong had already introduced him to the Zerg's unique command culture.

In fact, the algorithmization of warfare is not unique to the Zerg.

Almost all the top races in the universe use algorithms when waging wars on a race-wide scale.

Ethnic wars often involve trillions upon trillions of combat units. Such a massive number of combat units would be insufficient even with numerous think tanks.

A single major mistake in decision-making could very well lead to the collapse of the entire situation.

In this context, even a super-powerful being with computing power comparable to intelligent life cannot act arbitrarily.

The absolute rationality of algorithms and data deduction are the optimal solutions for tribal warfare.

The value of a commander often lies in the depth of their understanding of algorithms, the speed of their decision-making, and that little bit of intuition that surpasses the algorithm at crucial moments.

Even though Jiang Ming is the supreme commander, his orders will not be executed if they deviate from the algorithm.

'If it were someone else, even as the supreme commander, their room for maneuver would be very limited.'

Jiang Ming gazed at the rising and falling stars on the star map and thought to himself.

However, none of these things bother me.

With the existence of the 'Abyss of Calamity', he, the commander who must follow the algorithm's choices, will implant his own will into the gaps in these rules.
