Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

"What... what is this?"

Prahram's eyes lit up as he approached, his hand trembling as he reached out and carefully stroked the surface of the pyramid.

The entire pyramid is silver-white, and there is not even a trace of metal alloy interface, as if this 1200-meter-high silver-white pyramid is a perfect whole.

"Master—" Pula turned to look at Jiang Chen, her expression excited, "A treasure, a great treasure! This is a mechanical race spaceship!"

Although the human race is hailed as one of the most powerful races in the vast universe, there are still some races that can rival them, such as the machine race.

The Machine Race, every member of which is an intelligent being, has developed technology to an incredible degree.

Many of the advanced technologies of the human race were obtained from the machine race!

For example, Jiang Chen is very familiar with slave chip technology.

"The Machine Race! The most technologically advanced Machine Race!" Pula's eyes shone with excitement.

"Master, the mechanical race's spaceships are generally at least Class C. I think this one is likely Class D, or even higher."

Prata could not determine the true class of this mechanical ship.

Unlike humans, who have a more superficial understanding of metals and alloys and can easily distinguish what metals and alloys are used, mechanical beings are not as adept at using metals and alloys.

Humans simply cannot deconstruct the spaceships and other technological creations built by the Machine Race, nor can they figure out how they were made.

Therefore, the D-class of the machine race is generally directly recognized by humans as D9, which is the best in this class.

"This machine race spaceship might be a C-class ship, but what if it's a D-class ship or an even more powerful E-class ship?" Pula took a deep breath, his heart filled with excitement.

The leaps between each class of the spacecraft are quite exaggerated.

A spaceship with a diameter of 100 meters, the cheaper C5 class, also 100 meters in diameter, costs hundreds of millions. The Heilongshan spaceship, because it is made of pure metal, is dozens of times more expensive.

Even if it's made of pure alloy, a C9 grade would cost nearly 10 billion Black Dragon Coins, since C9's defensive capabilities are dozens of times stronger than C5.

As for D-level, most cosmic-level powerhouses and domain lords travel in such spaceships.

Prata knew that the first patriarch of their Norlanshan family, Norlanshan himself, had traveled in a D5-class spaceship, which cost 20...

0 billion Qianwu coins.

A D1-class spaceship costs hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins.

Even if it's made of alloy, the D9 class spaceship is nearly a thousand times stronger than the D1.

It usually takes selling dozens or even hundreds of planets to afford a D9-level alloy spaceship. If it were made of pure metal, it would be even more extravagant!

Of course, the prices of these different levels of spaceships refer to those with a diameter of 100 meters. For something like a pyramid that is 1200 meters high and has a larger volume and uses more materials, the price would be even more outrageous.

Prata knew that if this mechanical race spaceship was a D-class, D9-class, with a diameter of 100 meters, the Norlan Mountain family could afford to buy it even if they went bankrupt.

However, even the combined assets of the entire family are far from enough to support a D9-class spaceship that reaches a height of 1200 meters.

"This is Class E," Jiang Chen said with a smile, leading two dumbfounded servants to the entrance of the spaceship.

"Master." Ke Rong and Pula both looked at Jiang Chen in shock. Pula quickly explained, "Master, it's impossible to determine the level of this mechanical race's spaceship from its appearance."

"It's E-class because this spaceship belongs to a Machine Race Immortal," Jiang Chen said with a smile. "Machine Race? Immortal!" Ke and Pula were both shocked.

Immortals are the most powerful beings they know of, and they have come into contact with the strongest. The Machine Race represents incredibly advanced technology, and the spaceships that the Machine Race Immortals travel on must be extremely powerful.

It's completely confirmed that it will be classified as Class E.

"Ke Rong, you're currently wearing a Tier 3 Force Armor, with a D9-grade alloy armor over it." Jiang Chen looked at this Tier 9 cosmic-level martial artist.

The Force Suit is a suit of armor similar to the Black God Suit, which can be applied to the entire body at will. The defensive strength of the Force Suit is related to the Force level. The stronger the Force, the stronger the Force Suit's defense.

The Force suit is extremely expensive, comparable to Force weapons and telekinetic weapons.

Alloy suits are made of alloys and have very low technological content. They are similar to the combat suits worn by martial artists on Earth and are very cheap. However, alloy suits have many loopholes and cannot provide 100% protection for the entire body like Force suits.

Therefore, many martial artists in the universe wear Force suits underneath alloy suits for double protection.

"So, Ke Rong, you take the chip with you when you board the machine race's spaceship." Jiang Chen ordered, handing him a chip. "Once you're in the control room, just insert the smart chip into it."

"Yes, Master." Ke Rong respectfully accepted the chip, then turned and flew directly towards the passage.

Upon entering the passageway of the mechanical race's spaceship, three beams of light were immediately fired out. Ke Rong maintained almost no speed as he charged directly into the spaceship.

These rays are difficult to destroy even with C5-level weapons.

Because this kind of passive defense at the entrance needs to be maintained for a long time, and it occurs inside the entrance passage, the disturbance would be too great and could damage the spaceship itself. Therefore, attacks at the spaceship entrance are very weak.

For example, the C5-level Black Dragon Mountain spaceship that Jiang Chen often pilots can only kill ordinary second or third-tier planetary-level warriors when attacked at the entrance, but the laser cannons inside are B6-level and can kill ordinary sixth-tier planetary-level warriors.

In the past year, Jiang Chen has been immersed in cultivation and almost forgot about this mechanical race spaceship.

Immersed in the cultivation of the fundamental laws of fire, every second felt incredibly refreshing to the soul.

"Master, Lord Ke Rong, will he succeed?" Pula asked curiously.

"A spaceship usually has various obstacles and defenses inside, and is controlled by an intelligent computer. Even if you die, the spaceship is not easy to obtain."

Jiang Chen listened and nodded slightly. For example, the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship, it's been there for so many years on Earth, and no one has been able to enter it.

The main reason is that there is intelligence controlling the spaceship's defense system.

"Pula, those are all ordinary spaceships," Jiang Chen explained with a smile. "But the machine race is different."

"Most spaceships are controlled by intelligent quantum computers, like you and me."

"But the Machine Race is different!"

"The Machine Race, every member is an intelligent life form, far more advanced than any intelligent quantum computer. The Machine Race's immortality..."

Those are intelligent life forms far more powerful than the top-tier intelligent supercomputers we use.

"Therefore, the immortality of the machine race means that they only need to allocate a small portion of their consciousness to control the spaceship, without needing to use the intelligent quantum computer."

"Do you understand?"

"Master." Pula's eyes lit up, his breathing quickened, "You mean, this mechanical race spaceship might not have an intelligent computer controlling it?"

"Yes, so just wait patiently," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

He was very certain, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only say it as a guess.

Jiang Chen and Pula stood silently in the seawater, looking at the tall pyramid-shaped spaceship in front of them.

About five minutes later, the good news arrived.

"Master, it's a success." Ke's thoughts transmitted. "Haha, great!" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

"Master, my subordinate intelligence has begun to infiltrate the spaceship's control program."

"Intrusion successful. Power supply to the hatch has been cut off." Hill's cold voice rang out.

"We can now enter the spaceship. Don't worry about attacks through that passageway."

"Alright, let's go." Jiang Chen gave the order and flew first towards the entrance passage of the pyramid spaceship, with Pula excitedly following behind.

"Wow, what a huge and peculiar spaceship!"

Upon entering the spaceship, Jiang Chen was filled with amazement.

The entire pyramid-shaped spaceship layout features a main passageway that loops upwards, much like a mountain road.

The surrounding passageway, a full 30 meters wide, spirals upwards around the center of the pyramid-shaped spaceship.

Inside the pyramid control room.

The control room was circular, with a beautiful, crystalline floor. There was no console in the room, but a huge crystal ball floated above the center, where Ke Rong, a ninth-level cosmic martial artist, stood quietly, awaiting instructions.

"Ke Rong, well done," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, Master." Ke Rong smiled.

"Hill, find out the details of this spaceship," Jiang Chen shouted.

"Yes," Hill's voice rang out.

"Energy shield, intact."

"Master, this spaceship's energy shield is extremely high-level; the energy shield alone can withstand an E9-level attack."

"Without an attack power of immortality, this energy shield cannot be broken."

Pra and Ke, who were standing nearby, were dumbfounded. One of them was just a member of a cosmic-level family, and the other was a slave. They had never heard of such an extravagant spaceship.

An energy shield can withstand all attacks below the Immortal level?

"Master, the technological weaponry on this Mech Race spaceship is even more advanced than that of a typical F-class spaceship. No wonder it's a spaceship from the Mech Race, renowned for its advanced technology."

This spaceship has three Star Destroyer main cannons and nine E3-class laser cannons.

The planet-destroying cannon, as the name suggests, can destroy a planet with a single shot. Its drawback is that it has a wide dispersion range and consumes an astonishing amount of energy.

'Power system, intact.'

"The central core of the entire mechanical race's spaceship is almost entirely comprised of the power system, which is why it's designed this way."

This spaceship's instantaneous acceleration, evasive maneuvers, and other maneuvers are absolutely incredible, comparable to expensive F-class spaceships.

"Furthermore, according to the data from this mechanical race spaceship, the spaceship itself is made of alloy, reaching the peak of E-class, and possesses self-repair capabilities."

"Master, this mechanical race spaceship is worth far more than the combined value of thousands of star systems!"

Jiang Chen naturally knew this, and nodded with a smile, though he was also incredibly excited inside.

Pula and Ke Rong were so shocked they were speechless.

"Wow, a single E-class spaceship can buy over a thousand star systems?" Pula's jaw dropped. "Even a World Lord couldn't afford that!"

"If we buy cosmic-level slaves, wouldn't we be able to form an army?" Ke Rong, a powerful expert at the ninth level of the cosmic realm, was also dumbfounded.

"Master, how can this be so exaggerated? Even if it's a mechanical race ship, no matter how big or exaggerated it is, it's still an E-class spaceship, costing at most the price of ten star systems, right?" Ke couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, Master, an E-class spaceship is usually used by World Lords, how can it be so expensive?" Pula asked curiously.

One of them was just a slave who couldn't learn much, while the other, although of high status, was only at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm and hadn't yet come into contact with the real higher levels.

Therefore, they don't understand.

"Hill, I won't explain. You can give them a basic introduction," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, Master," Hill's voice rang out, beginning to explain.

"Human spaceships are not too expensive, precisely because of the alloys they are made of."

"Pure metal spaceships are considered luxury items. Alloy spaceships offer better value for money."

"The strongest alloy that can be artificially manufactured in the entire universe is E9 grade. Whether it's the human race or the more advanced machine race, the most advanced alloy they have ever created is E9 grade."

Therefore, F-class spaceships all use pure F-class metal, which causes their prices to skyrocket.

"So even among immortal beings, the vast majority of immortals cannot build an F-class spaceship; many of them still use E-class spaceships."

"Of course, the spaceships differ in size, propulsion, and internal structure. Even for the same E-class spaceship, the price difference can be enormous."

An ordinary World Lord's E-class spaceship costs approximately 1 trillion cosmic coins, equivalent to 1 Chaos Unit. However, Immortal Beings use peak E-class spaceships, typically costing trillions of cosmic coins, equivalent to hundreds of Chaos Units.

"This mechanical race spaceship is much larger, with an exaggeratedly large power module, making it even more maneuverable than a typical F-class spaceship!"

"This top-tier E-class spaceship reaches a height of 1200 meters and is the most popular mechanical spaceship among the human race, worth one or two thousand Chaos Units."

Both Ko and Pra were deeply shocked.

"Hill, put away the machine race's spaceship," Jiang Chen ordered.

"Yes." After Jiang Chen and the others flew out of the mechanical race's spaceship, Hill put the mechanical race's spaceship away.

"The machine race's spaceship can be used as a trump card in the future, or it can be sold for a large sum of money."

With the mechanical race's spaceship issue resolved, the next task is something else entirely.
