Super God: Star Guardians, another year of conquering the galaxy.

Chapter 34 Mechanical Swarm War

"Two mechanical clusters?"

Chen Yu opened the star map system and focused his gaze on the Andromeda Galaxy.

The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest celestial structure in the Local Group outside of the Milky Way. It is a large spiral-shaped structure located about 250 million light-years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of about 20 light-years.

The Local Group contains approximately fifty galaxies, with the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way as its main cores. It is divided into two subgroups: the Andromeda Galaxy Subgroup and the Milky Way Subgroup.

Between the two subgroups, the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are attracting each other.

In approximately 40 billion years, the two galaxies will collide and merge.

But now, the convergence of various cosmic crises has long since bound the fates of the two star systems together.

According to the previous strategic deployment plan, the strategic position of dealing with the "Hunter" threat is at the third level, while the strategic position of the Andromeda Galaxy and other galaxies in the Local Group is at the second level.

Previously, several galaxy nodes in the surrounding area, including the Milky Way, had experienced "abnormal spacetime effects" of unknown cause.

The source of the anomalous spacetime effects within the Milky Way has been identified, but they only occur near the supermassive black hole at the galactic center.

The Federal Research Department has been working tirelessly to solve the case. The dimensional membrane that appeared in the central star region near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way has been almost completely analyzed, and it is said that considerable progress has been made.

Now that Hydra's star-tracking technology has been involved, we believe that clear news will come soon.

Previously, Chen Yu had also ordered Gray Wind to launch "Gray Gu Storms" towards several galaxies around the Milky Way.

Its purpose was to conduct a test.

On the one hand, they wanted to try to find out the current situation in several galaxies near the Milky Way in order to prevent a terrifying crisis similar to "The Hunter".

On the one hand, if the threats in these star systems are relatively minor, then forward bases can be established to prepare for the Federation's next major expedition.

In this universe, without the threat of the "Virtual Realm," the Federation's vision can no longer be confined to a small galaxy.

It is clearly not feasible to overlook one's own civilization from a grand cosmic perspective and observe the opportunities and threats around us.

Comparatively speaking, the current pan-galaxy cluster strategic deployment formulated by the Human Federation is still quite conservative.

After all, compared to the vast known universe, the entire Local Group is just a drop in the ocean.

But there's nothing we can do about it; the Federation's development time in this universe is simply too short.

The original 500 galaxies and 300 trillion people that came with it seem like a lot on the surface.

But compared to the vast universe, it seems far too scarce.

Although the space available for Chen Yu and the entire Federation to operate is much larger than that of the previous universe, the difficulty is also much greater.

At present, resources are not lacking for Chen Yu and the entire Human Federation. What is most lacking is not novel technology or strategic space, but time!

Time is forcing the entire Federation to roll forward.

Every minute and every second is now incredibly precious.

Every usable resource must be put to practical use within a specified time; otherwise, using that resource is tantamount to a pointless waste.

Currently, almost all of the Federation's fleets are deployed to carry out missions. Even every engineering vessel that has just been pushed off the production line has to work non-stop to carry out various busy engineering tasks.

Simply put, the Federation is currently facing a severe shortage of military and human resources.

The "Grey Goo Storm" is a special technique that allows the Federation to instantly generate a large fleet to carry out strategic deployment missions without incurring significant costs or time.

Its main principle is to allow the gray wind to release some of its nano-clusters, mimicking the shape of a warship, and then assembling them into fleets.

The number of nanoclusters that Graywind possesses can theoretically be reproduced indefinitely; he can have as many as he wants.

That's just in theory, though.

Any theory must be compressed to the scale of reality before it can be put into practice.

Currently, Graywind's nano-clusters can probably only be used to assemble about 300,000 Epang Palace-class Titan behemoths. The conversion rate would vary depending on the size of the warships.

If the "Grey Storm" is executed using the Federation's First Fleet as a template, the Grey Storm could probably unleash 70,000 to 80,000 fleets to sweep across the world!

The "Grey Gu Storm," formed by the nano-clusters deployed by Grey Wind, has now sent a total of 30000 fleets into the Andromeda Nebula.

There, several advance groups of Greywind encountered threats from two sides.

Both threats are Gestalt mechanical intelligences, and their mechanical swarms are engaged in a fierce battle within the Andromeda Galaxy.

One side was almost unable to communicate, while the other was indiscriminately attacking Graywind's advance fleet.

Meanwhile, Graywind was communicating with them, but they also showed wariness towards Graywind's fleet.

In other words, there are currently three forces involved in the Andromeda Galaxy, with the first two already locked in a fierce battle.

Graywind, representing the Human Federation, has only recently intervened and it seems unlikely that it can eliminate these two threats on its own.

The latest novel is first published here!

If these two threats are not eliminated.

According to Graywind, if the Andromeda Galaxy were to decay, it could potentially bring unforeseen disasters to the Milky Way.

If such a galactic-scale nebula-level celestial structure undergoes a major change, its impact on surrounding galaxies will be minimal in the short term.

After all, the universe is vast, measured in distances of millions of light-years. If a major event were to occur, its actual impact would take at least hundreds of millions of years to materialize.

But the fear is that the two threats posed by the Andromeda Galaxy might not be enough for them; they might even try to wreak havoc in the Milky Way...

That hypothetical scenario is utterly unbearable to behold.

We are currently going through a turbulent time.

The Federation hasn't even finished dealing with threats within the Milky Way, and nobody wants an even more significant extragalactic threat to emerge at this time.

"Have you figured out why these two mechanical groups are fighting?" Chen Yu asked.

On the star map of the Andromeda Galaxy, the two forces, one red and one blue, were clearly marked by Graywind, while Graywind's fleet was marked with silver-gray.

Due to previous anomalous spacetime effects, coupled with certain technological limitations, the Federation's sentinel arrays deployed throughout the Milky Way were unable to obtain specific information about the interior of the Andromeda Galaxy.

Much of the actual information could only be obtained from Graywind's "Gray Gu Storm" fleet.

Currently, on the star map marked by the gray wind, the red and blue forces have almost occupied half of the Andromeda Galaxy, and both are still expanding.

On the other hand, Graywind's "Gray Gu Storm" fleet faced threats from two forces at the macro-strategic level after entering the Andromeda Nebula.

Currently, Graywind's "Gray Gu Storm" fleet is compressed into a small peripheral star field, caught between the two sides, and is making difficult progress.

"Reporting, Boss, one side calls themselves 'Cybernexus,' and they refer to the other side as the 'Purge Protocol' corrupted entity..." Graywind carefully replied.

"The other side claims that the 'Purge Protocol' has seemingly completed its full activation and is about to destroy the entire universe. Any civilization it encounters will be considered a threat and will be eliminated..."

"Cybernexus sought to prevent this, leading to a major battle between the Andromeda Galaxy and the Purge Agreement."

"This war cannot be ended indefinitely; it can only temporarily conclude with the complete collapse of one side within the galaxy!"
