The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 1256 - 431: Infiltrating Undead (6k)

"What’s the situation now?"

Returning to the Academy Star, Bai Yi immediately sought out Shang Ji.

This time the Undead was different from the other Life under her command; after all, it required covert action, no network connection, and in such an environment, there was no chance for prayer.

All her usual communication methods were useless here, and the most basic Quantum Network had instead become the only means of communication.

And now this method of communication was being personally managed by Shang Ji.

"It was just connected; they successfully boarded the spaceship and went into hiding during the time when the Bet Team was active.

But since it was a connection through the Quantum Network, to maintain secrecy, they haven’t acted all along.

Until recently, when they just entered the restricted zone established by the Three Great Civilizations in the Edge Star Zone, they then contacted me.

According to their latest message, it’s still three hours of jump distance from reaching headquarters.

They couldn’t know more, as after all, that spaceship isn’t an important database; further information will have to wait for subsequent contact."

Bai Yi nodded to show understanding, as using the Quantum Network to send back intelligence without being detected was already good news.

When she initially designed this plan, she had been troubled by only being able to use the Quantum Network for communication.

After all, the Quantum Network was under the surveillance of the Three Great Civilizations, and she had long confirmed their control over the Network. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

But after careful consideration and confirming the risks with the witch who specifically studied the Quantum Network, she finally decided on the plan.

Even though this channel appeared to be completely controlled by the Three Great Civilizations, it wasn’t entirely impossible to bypass it.

What was needed was understanding the Quantum Network itself.

Pure Quantum Communication itself is actually hard to monitor unless a lot of specialized equipment and significant manpower are used to barely monitor one or two communications.

It is simply impossible to control the entire Starry Sky.

However, this pure Quantum Communication is also range-limited.

To achieve communication across long distances, Quantum Signal Base Stations are required.

After the Quantum Network was invented, the Starry Sky realized this and built a communication system centered on Quantum Signal Base Stations.

Even nodes originally within the range of Quantum Communication would first connect to a Base Station before transferring the signal.

And the essence of the Three Great Civilizations’ monitoring of the Quantum Network is actually the monitoring of these Base Stations.

Once all information flow must go through the Base Station, backing up and analyzing all traffic within the Base Station is tantamount to monitoring the information flow of the entire Starry Sky.

That’s why the Undead didn’t establish contact with her immediately after taking control of the spaceship.

In the normal Starry Sky range, sending a message to Shang Ji required relaying through the Base Station, which would be monitored by the Three Great Civilizations.

She certainly wouldn’t use the monitored channels of the Three Great Civilizations to transmit information when stealing their intelligence.

Bypassing this monitoring is not difficult, and the only and most effective way is naturally to bypass those Base Stations and choose to revert to the most primitive Quantum Communication method.

After understanding this point, Bai Yi found that using Quantum Communication this time was not actually unsafe.

Not to mention the communication was sent by the Undead using the name of that spaceship and had nothing to do with her, Fan Mao.

Once the Undead completely controlled the spaceship, erasing all records was an easy task.

Collecting intelligence on others might be sensitive and found out during checks, but a self-owned spaceship wouldn’t face such strict scrutiny.

If mixed in with some routine operational information exchange of the spaceship, even a high-tier Mechanical Master’s intelligence would have a very low chance of detection.

Furthermore, the information sent by the Undead did not go through the official Quantum Network Base Stations of the Three Great Civilizations and left no record, so there was no way to track an anomaly even if one was detected.

The only thing the Undead needed to do was slightly modify the spaceship’s Quantum Communication module to switch it to the most primitive Quantum Communication mode.

For this, Shang Ji specifically set up a Quantum Base Station belonging to her on a transit planet planted with a Portal Giant Tree in that restricted zone, to receive information from the Undead.

Though this would strictly limit the communication range, with the range of the Quantum Network, communication within the restricted zone was still easily achievable.

Simply put, it is like setting up a small local area network within the normal network.

However, compared to a normal LAN, the communication range of this small Quantum Network is immensely larger.

Nonetheless, using this method, a completely independent Quantum Communication from the surveillance of the Three Great Civilizations had been established, and this intelligence was transmitted through it.

And now that it was already able to connect to her Base Station, it indicated that the Undead were not far from the target planet.

Bai Yi decided not to leave but to wait for the next piece of intelligence from the Undead.

In a blink, a few more hours passed.
