Machine War: Infinite Frontier.

Mechas have been around for a long time, and they have been used in warfare for a long time as well. However, it was only recently that mechas were truly turned into weapons of war that ordinary people could use. In this regard, Dawn is not only a promoter but also a leader.

Pilot schools are indeed necessary. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the potential for the future development of mechas, but now is not the right time. It can be said that there is no time to do this.

For the Federation, the top priority at the moment is the aliens on the Alliance Star. Although everything seems to be going well now, if any unexpected situation really occurs, it is very likely that they will suffer huge losses. Therefore, all energy must be concentrated on attacking the aliens at this time, and everything else must be put aside for later.

There are still many things facing General Hunter. As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he must figure out what is the most important and top priority now.

But now Xiao Yun is much more relaxed. After all, the Alliance Star is not his home court. Even if the sky falls, there is someone tall to hold it up in front of him. What happens on the Alliance Star has nothing to do with him. He can watch the development of events on the Alliance Star leisurely.

The Federation, which had truly activated the war machine, was still very effective. Through its attack at all costs, it was able to further compress the alien race's range of activities, and adopted a step-by-step tactic. While attacking, it also continued to destroy the ground vegetation, not giving the alien race any opportunity to take advantage. However, the alien race's counterattack also caused great losses to the ground forces.

The parts that can be seen and monitored can be dealt with in advance, but there is also no shortage of species among the insect plants that can dig holes in the ground. Often these insect plants that suddenly emerge from the ground are the most threatening, so the process of this counterattack is not completely smooth sailing. In a war of this scale, any losses are just numbers in the report.

Finally, the transport fleet from Chimera arrived, and the biological genetic research team provided by Dawn came to the Alliance Star. After receiving Xiao Yun's low-key reminder, they all joined the research institute in the Federation Army's space fortress and began to work with Dr. Kula's team.

The research team provided by Dawn was composed of top experts in related fields. In just two or three days, they took over all the Federation's research data on the World Tree, Zygophytes, and alien warriors.

Although these things are considered relatively confidential within the Federation, they have to be given. The research team on the Federation side is indeed not as good as the Dawn team. They are obviously far behind in terms of experience and depth in the field. In this way, Dr. Kula can also lead his team to specialize in research projects on alien armor.

The Federation still attaches great importance to the Dawn research team, and will do its best to meet any request. Even if they need ready-made samples or even samples of the more core part of the World Tree, they will find ways to get them for the research team. With such support and more comparison samples, the research speed of the World Tree and Zygophytes will be faster than that of Fortress X.

However, within a week, there were dozens of samples of various plant insects and tree branches and trunks from different regions and environments around the world, and new discoveries were made almost every day.

Dr. Kula's team, which had also conducted research in this area before, had already been conducting research for such a long time, but the breakthrough discoveries they obtained were not as great as the results achieved by the Shuguang team in such a short time after they arrived here.

Naturally, a copy of the research results would be sent to Xiao Yun. Even if he could not fully understand the data, it would not prevent him from understanding the conclusions of the research.

It can be said that the most terrifying research result for the Federation today is that all zoophytes, regardless of their species, have more than 80% similarity in their genetic roots. Such a conclusion is normal. Even Dr. Kula's research team can come to such a conclusion. This is the case with this part. The important part is actually the following half.

According to the research, all zoophytes belong to the same species.

This description alone causes a big problem. Some people may say that this is nonsense, as zoophytes are a group of animals and therefore belong to the same species.

But in fact, this is not the case. Scientific rigor is not like this. Only 80% of the genetic overlap can strictly speaking be regarded as different species. Under this premise, it is not groundless for the Shuguang research team to come to such a conclusion.

Because after confirming all the samples, they found that the real reason for the change in zoophyte species is genetic evolution. The genes of zoophytes are very unstable and have a large mutability, but this mutation is logical and fixed. Simply put, all zoophytes have the ability to evolve, which means that the most common zoophytes may all become the ultimate form of zoophytes as they grow over time.

This reminded Xiao Yun of elves and Pokémon.

This kind of organism also has a very unstable genetic module with a fixed development pattern. It will evolve as it grows, and the current zoophyte is similar to this situation.

But the slightly different thing about zoophytes is that the direction of evolution depends on the mutation points of the gene module, or it can be fixed by the environment. There are many types of directions of evolution, which are quite confusing. If you want to thoroughly analyze all the genes, you can either ask X to help you greatly shorten the time, or you can force yourself to do it. It will take at least several years to complete the thorough analysis.

Even though World 0 has a very high level of development in artificial intelligence, it is indeed not as good as the VEDA series of quantum computers in research and computing.

According to the research, most of the zoophyte samples captured today can only be regarded as larval stages, or babies in the population, ranging from one month to three months at most. This illustrates another problem, that is, the vast majority of zoophytes eliminated on the ground now are just newborns who were born not long ago. Of course, it is only most of them, not all. There are also some other types of zoophytes that are large in size and are more than three months old to about a year.

In other words, the possibility of the World Tree being a biological weapons production factory has been indirectly raised to a very high level. Moreover, since the aliens arrived on the Alliance Star for such a long time, where are the more year-old insect plants hiding?

After obtaining this research result, General Hunter decisively stopped the offensive and began to build a new defensive position on the spot. Such caution was completely correct, because just as the position began to be built, countless large insect plants like flying dragons appeared and began to counterattack the federal army.

This war was so fierce that even Xiao Yun was asked to send the combat forces on the Valkyrie to land on the Alliance Star to assist in defending a certain stronghold. More warships also entered the Alliance Star and it was only then that they managed to hold off this wave of offensive by the aliens. Only after the war statistics were collected could one truly feel from the numbers how brutal this battle was.

More than one hundred warships were lost, including thirty-seven large battleships.

The casualties exceeded one million, tens of thousands of MS were lost, about two hundred knights were killed, and many more were injured.

The most outstanding team in this battle was the Dawn's combat team. Except for the loss of some backpacks and weapons, there was no loss of aircraft and personnel. Moreover, the stronghold they assisted in defending also suffered the least loss. Xiao Yun sent out all the combat forces of the Valkyrie without hiding them. Even Kira drove his golden machine to participate in the battle. The strength he demonstrated was absolutely dazzling and shocking.

In a real sense, it showed everyone on the Alliance Star what it means to be invincible and kill through enemies. No matter if they were Zerglings or alien warriors, as long as the target appeared within Kira's attack range, no one could escape. The shooting accuracy was as high as 68%.

Such combat capability is shocking, and Shuguang's strength has been known to countless people. Although Shuguang is not large at present, judging from everything it has shown now, once it expands in scale in the future,

If they had not prepared or arranged in advance and instead maintained an offensive posture, the federal army would have suffered unacceptable losses in the face of these unexpected enemies.

General Hunter also expressed his gratitude to Xiao Yun. Of course, gratitude cannot be expressed with just words. Soon Xiao Yun received a list. The items on the list were all what Shuguang needed most at the moment.

Xiao Yun generously accepted all kinds of new industrial equipment, and even an entire large factory, which could increase Shuguang's current productivity several times. After all, this would cost money.

Although this thank you is not completely free, its nature is different. Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to get such a large-scale factory and the latest industrial equipment. Even with Dawn's previous size, it could not be done. Before, it could only refurbish some second-hand equipment and build a small shipyard factory. But now the Federation directly gave Dawn such a ready-made large factory and things that money cannot buy, just spending some money. It can be said that Dawn got a great deal, and this thank you gift is also quite valuable.

However, it will take time for the things to arrive, but Xiao Yun has already informed Jina to collect money and transfer it to the designated account. Things that can be done with money are the easiest things. Now Shuguang has huge amounts of funds coming in every day. It has to be said that arms really make money during wartime. The scale of Shuguang has also been expanding, and now it has begun to recruit more people on a larger scale to expand production.

Because of this operation, General Hunter finally put the issue of the pilot school on the agenda and began to contact Xiao Yun about the pilot school.

When the two met, General Hunter also greeted Xiao Yun with a smile: "President Shi Zhen, thank you for this operation. If it weren't for the support of Shuguang that relieved a lot of our pressure, there might be some other changes in the operation."

Xiao Yun waved his hands quickly: "General, you are too kind. This is a conflict between humans and aliens. We are willing to make efforts if we have the ability. Besides, the thanks you have given us are enough."

General Hunter waved his hand and said, "Since you have helped us, we will reward you. This is what you deserve. With Shuguang's current performance, the Federation will definitely support you vigorously, whether it is equipment, money or taxation. If you have any difficulties, just tell us."

"I have reported your Shuguang situation to the Federation. Now, Shuguang has been listed as the highest supported enterprise. I hope that Shuguang can make greater contributions to the Federation in the future."

"That's for sure." Xiao Yun patted his chest and said, "General, rest assured. As long as we have any new research and development results, we will bring them out and put them into use in the battle as soon as possible."

Hunter nodded and said, "I heard that Chimera is actually controlled by your Dawn?"

"Yes." Xiao Yun admitted generously: "But it is also relatively speaking. After all, Chimera is a free trade planet, and Dawn is just more influential."

"Yes." Hunter nodded slowly and said, "The federal army is willing to recognize Dawn's management rights over Chimera. I hope this can also help accelerate the development of your Dawn."

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment and then expressed his gratitude again: "Thank you, General. Shuguang will definitely live up to the Federation and the General's trust."

General Hunter nodded with satisfaction: "You Shuguang are very good, both in terms of technology development and personnel training. I am very satisfied with you. You Shuguang didn't make it into the first list before, so I will add you this time. The strengthening potions you didn't get before will also be replenished to you next time. I see that your warriors seem to have only a small number of knights, is that right?"

Xiao Yun thought quickly in his mind, but nodded without any expression on his face, "Well, most of them are ordinary people, not knights. They are pilots we carefully trained, but there are still some knights participating in the battle."

These things are very easy to confirm. For example, the Scythe Squad obviously used the knight device after joining the battle, but more people still relied on the machine itself and weapons to fight. If Xiao Yun wanted to check, he felt that it would not take long to determine the specific number of people.

General Hunter just wanted to bring up the issue of the pilot school through this topic. After hearing Xiao Yun's answer, he said, "They are not knights, but they play a greater role on the battlefield than many knights. You Shuguang are really good at training talents. Through the recent battles, I found that ordinary pilots can also play a big role. But now the Federation has not been in contact with MS for a long time and there are no excellent pilots like you Shuguang. We have discussed it internally and want to establish a pilot training school with you Shuguang. I wonder if you are willing to do so."

"Of course." Xiao Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "The more excellent pilots there are, the more powerful the MS will be. We Shuguang will also be able to gain more development in the process. This is a good thing. I can agree to it. What about the location of the school?"

General Hunter was also very satisfied: "Let's put it in Chimera. There happens to be a rear base of the Federation there, which is also the headquarters of your Dawn..."
