The remaining part requires top-level talents beyond conventional cognition for perfect completion.

Anyway, when the fleet departed initially, it indeed took away a significant portion of high intelligence gene talents.

Nearly 22 years have passed since then, and after a generation’s reproduction, the High Rank intelligence level on Source Star still cannot match the fleet; these top-level tasks still need some extraordinary genius inspiration to be completed on the fleet.

As if in the blink of an eye, four more years passed.

At this time, the fleet is still charging straight toward the Black Mist Zone and will arrive in a month, entering the stable shuttle track that has been used for thousands of years.

Most of the time, most of the dark energy clusters inside the Black Mist Zone are doing cross-law revolution around the geometric center.

The normal route will gradually enter the interior of the Black Mist Zone in a tangent manner, then carve out a curve with a large radius, moving in the same direction along the orbital trajectory inside the Black Mist Zone, and eventually pass through this area.

In theory, as long as the relative point at entry is correct and smoothly cuts into the safe route, this journey will be steady and without surprises.

But at this time, all the ships are ready for temporary direction changes, just waiting for Ren Zhong’s command, and they will immediately start to gradually change direction, ultimately keeping tangentially parallel to the olive-shaped Black Mist Zone.

The algorithm to deceive the Empire Super Network’s artificial intelligence has also been developed, but new problems have arisen.

According to the final research achievement of the Artificial Intelligence Institute, it is determined that a vehicle capable of direct communication must travel steadily along the original public route and use this as a relay point to relay signals, link fleet nodes with the Empire Super Network to achieve the deception effect.

Earlier, Ren Zhong planned to dispatch several intelligent small workships with strong communication abilities into the Black Mist Zone.

But subsequent front-line experiments jointly completed by Shuttle Ship and Eye Ship show that dense dark energy clusters have an unstable shielding effect on information flows.

If the information flow signals must repeatedly traverse the entire Black Mist Zone, they will inevitably be blocked, leading to insufficient and unstable signal strength, easily exposing anomalies in front of the Empire Super Network.

The pursuit of science is like this; only when you reach that step can you know what problems you will encounter and deal with them specifically.

Later, close cooperation among multiple departments such as the Artificial Intelligence Institute, Military Academy, Communication Institute, Engineering Institute proposed a new feasible plan.

The plan is as follows: increase the workship fleet from just a few ships to fifty thousand ships.

These fifty thousand workships will start extending from the fringe of the Black Mist Zone inward. The workship fleet will be divided into a thousand vertical rows, and travel across the crisscross areas of numerous dark energy clusters full of dangers.

Data from one workship after another will be connected in series and parallel, relying on redundant bandwidth to ensure the stability of the information.

At first, Ren Zhong felt the number of fifty thousand was too much; it wasn’t necessary to have such redundancy, attempting to compress the workship fleet to ten thousand ships, forming only two hundred information transmission chains.

But Hua Yuelan opposed Ren Zhong’s proposal.

In a closed-door meeting between the two, after hearing Ren Zhong’s idea, Hua Yuelan slapped the table heavily, angrily criticizing, "You were colder than anyone once, not hesitating even if it meant sacrificing 18 billion lives to become a pledge. Yet at such a critical moment, you seem overly merciful. Mercy at certain times is weakness, and weakness leads to failure. Tell me, what on earth are you thinking? What kind of person is Ren Zhong? I cannot understand you."

Speaking, Hua Yuelan, whose crow’s feet were gradually visible, fixed her piercing gaze on Ren Zhong’s face, her sharp eyes seeming to pierce through air and skin.

Ren Zhong felt uncomfortable being watched by her, turned his head away, shook his head, and said, "According to calculations by ’Network,’ indeed only need ten thousand ships to ensure infinitely close to 100% success rate. Each transport ship needs a crew of fifteen; having an extra forty thousand ships will cost us six hundred thousand more people. It’s an unnecessary sacrifice." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Nonsense!" Hua Yuelan shouted loudly, "You also know it’s only close to 100%, not truly 100%. But we must demand 100% because there is no margin of error. You analyzed Liu An’s humanity so thoroughly, you know what will happen without a doubt, so you mustn’t have any illusions. I acknowledge ’Network’s’ simulation calculations of the Black Mist Zone, but the basis of those calculations comes from outdated information by the Royal Academy of Sciences exploration team years ago. The routes in the Black Mist Zone are of no significance to the Empire, so this data has never been updated."
