"The Professionals have various Cruiser Hunters active near the Empire's borders, and the Mother Empress Ship is hailed as the strongest cruiser because it can single-handedly form an army, is fully functional, possesses extremely strong standalone combat capabilities, and can even complete scientific research tasks."

"According to the Empire's ranking system for the life ranks of Professionals, based on the absolute value of energy they can reserve and deploy, Mother Empress Ships are divided into many ranks. The First Level Mother Empress Ship can reserve energy comparable to a small star. The Second Level Mother Empress can reserve about one ten-thousandth of a small star's energy. The Third Level Mother Empress can reserve the energy of a standard planet. The Fourth Level Mother Empress can reserve about ten percent of a planet's energy, roughly equivalent to ten percent of Source Star's total energy, including potential energy, thermal energy, geothermal energy, radiation energy, mineral energy, bioenergy, and all theoretically usable energy combined. Additionally, the Fourth Level Mother Empress Ship is the lowest ranked Mother Empress Ship among the Professionals."

The online conference room is dead silent, not a sound.

The Source Star Fleet appears quite large, with a total crew exceeding two billion people, along with eight thousand transport ships and nearly four thousand armed battleships, but anyone with common sense knows that all the energy held by the entire Source Star Fleet combined likely doesn't even reach one percent of Source Star's total energy.

The reason is simple; everyone knows that no matter how much fossil energy humans excavate, or how many high-energy batteries are configured using light energy systems, it's insignificant compared to the internal thermal energy of Source Star's star core and star mantle.

Planets are the mighty forces of the universe, forged over hundreds of millions or even billions of years.

Compared to the life of the universe, human history is so brief.

"Furthermore, most Mother Empress Ships qualified to be in the Patrol Team possess a special ability; when severely damaged with a risk of death, they curl up and secrete a rapidly solidifying keratin layer on their shell. This keratin layer's protective capabilities are comparable to composite neutron coatings, and even our Star System Level Main Cannon cannot penetrate it. To us, this is absolute defense."

The conference room remains quiet.

Ren Zhong's expression is unusually solemn, to the extent that he regrets not reviewing the intelligence himself before convening this comprehensive high-level meeting.

Some filtering should have been done; this is quite disheartening.

When outsiders are present, Sun Ai switches to a serious AI intelligence mode, consistently broadcasting information in a calm and indifferent tone, simultaneously displaying images, videos, and data analysis materials.

"Brief intelligence on the Fourth Level Mother Empress is complete. Next, begin broadcasting the detailed analysis report on specific military units and technical means."

The picture shifts, revealing Ding Canghai and the "Shadow" posing beside a corpse.

Seeing Ding Canghai grinning broadly, striking a victorious "V" gesture with his fingers in dim lighting conditions, the atmosphere in the online conference room, previously heavy to the point of freezing, inexplicably relaxed.

Especially Ren Zhong, who couldn't help but chuckle, jokingly adding, "That guy Ding Canghai."

As Ren Zhong spoke, others also slightly relaxed, their tense expressions unwinding a bit.

"Critical Poison Sting, a fundamental unit of Professionals, mass-produced by the Mother Empress Ship, with an Energy Level Index between Level Six Mechanical Warrior and Level Nine Mechanical Warrior. Based on Army Chief Ding's intelligence combined with photo content analysis, the conclusion is that this Poison Sting has undergone special enhancement, possessing augmentation abilities; information flow scanning radar, electromagnetic radar, infrared, ultraviolet radar, and metallic magnetic induction radar cannot detect its whereabouts, but it becomes visible under strong light exposure and can collide with solid material. According to the Empire's naming system, it may temporarily be named Critical Poison Sting. Critical Ability specifically refers to the stealth camouflage ability. Emergency manufacturing facilities on various armed battleships have begun mass-producing additional lighting bombs and smoke bombs."

"The second combat unit mentioned by Army Chief Ding has been identified. Based on the mass, vibration conditions, and the instant acceleration of the meteorite satellite reaching speeds of 2000 kilometers per second, it is speculated to be the main combat unit 'Mantis' of Professionals, mass-produced by the Mother Empress Ship. Analysis assigns it as a Second Level Mantis. Its combat power surpasses Level Nine Professionals."

"The enemy possesses capabilities to intercept information flow communications. The combat mode should be to allow the Critical Poison Sting to lurk close, then suddenly initiate information flow interference, simultaneously launching a full-scale attack."

"The enemy emphasizes cutting off information flow communication and does not prioritize radio communication and laser communication. Backup radio communications on all warships and transport ships have been simultaneously activated, forming a redundant communication system. Laser communication devices are also being rapidly modified and installed, with preliminary fleet-wide modifications expected to be completed in one hour."
