Chapter 1656: Chapter 642: On Mistaking My Overwhelming Strength for the Enemy’s Weakness

"Too weak, too weak. Is it just this level?"

Hmm Wei Wu coldly watched the simulation projection screen in front of him, muttering to himself.

Due to its inability to link via brainwaves like humans to enter a virtual reality, it had to use a device similar to ancient VR glasses to satisfy its visual needs, issuing quick commands by shaking its six jointed limbs, and using its complexly structured mouthparts, which have a wide audio range and great modulation capabilities, to issue detailed commands.

This entire set of requirements needed a plethora of High Rank devices.

If it were an ordinary shipborne soldier, it would be hard to receive such technical support, but Hmm Wei Wu is, after all, the first "Defector" among the Elevators who joined when he couldn’t win, so he receives special care.

Taking the feather given by Ren Zhong as an arrow, Hmm Wei Wu approached the Red Blade Manufacturing Institute. The institute custom-made an entire equipment kit for him.

This new equipment perfectly suits Hmm Wei Wu, especially the custom-made projection glasses which were incredibly effective.

Inside the glasses are up to sixty thousand sub-screens, each precisely aligned with one of Hmm Wei Wu’s sixty thousand small eyes.

With Hmm Wei Wu’s physiological structure, each of its small eyes can focus independently, and its insect instincts can process the images captured by each one simultaneously.

Normal insects can only perform basic light analysis on these up to sixty thousand images, but Hmm Wei Wu is different. The Tactile Humans inherently have some human-like intelligence, and after actively evolving and consuming copious amounts of gel to continuously evolve, it gained the wisdom boost of the Hundred Emperors, enabling it to possess attributes of both humans and insects, capable of logically comprehending these over sixty thousand images simultaneously.

This endowed Hmm Wei Wu with a super-strong ability to extract information.

Across the entire Red Blade Clan, only Ren Zhong, who possessed countless thought channels as a "Demigod," and non-human Sun Ai could surpass it in information extraction ability.

Combined with the complex actions finished by its intricate mouthparts and six jointed limbs, Hmm Wei Wu’s command issuing speed is not inferior to that of humans using brainwave link technology.

Therefore, even though Hmm Wei Wu started as a most basic shipborne soldier, he quickly stood out.

Maybe it was luck, or perhaps his comrades around him were cursed, but shortly after joining, the comrades in his cabin fell "ill" one after another, and no one was replaced.

Then Hmm Wei Wu had to bear the work of ten people alone, responsible for simultaneously operating ten Medium Range Energy Cannon in manual mode.

As a result, this medium-sized ship conveniently participated in the decennial semi-live ammunition exercise as one of the lowest-ranked medium warships.

Initially, the Captain thought that the entire manual Medium Range Energy Cannon team had "all collapsed," and simply gave up, accepting the highest simulated casualty rate Suicide Squad mission handed out by the superior upon departure, planning to be eliminated early to wrap things up.

It’s not surprising, this lower medium-sized ship has long been in the bottom 10% to be eliminated first in prior semi-live ammunition exercises.

No one could have anticipated that this unexpectedly became the starting point for the new generation of War God, Hmm Wei Wu’s rise.

As the Suicide Ship, this medium-sized warship had good luck, or maybe the Captain had long been at the bottom and became experienced in treating long-standing issues, surviving even after completing an assault mission.

But true capabilities were shown during the return journey and rest.

According to the exercise plan, the Elevators would deploy highly redundant Quantum Tide combined with information stream impact to sabotage the legion’s intelligent devices. Thus during the exercise, the returning Suicide Ships completing the first wave of attacks had to shut off smart assistance, switching to manual mode.

The Captain already lay down, having issued only the order to operate according to simulated exercises, then waiting for the massive fly-mosquitoes swarm to "destroy" his ship. Because the interception of mosquitoes heavily relied on the Medium Range Energy Cannon. However, his ship’s Medium Range Cannon team had only one rookie left, just arrived, utterly unreliable.

No one could have imagined, Hmm Wei Wu actually completed the work of ten biped beings alone, achieving an interception rate of over 85%, surpassing the previous full ten-member team’s interception rate by nearly ten percentage points during exercises.

After the exercise concluded, Hmm Wei Wu was immediately promoted to Team Leader and given Sergeant rank.

Ten years passed by, and Hmm Wei Wu had already become a Commander of a Special Warfare Detachment composed of hundreds of medium-sized warships.

He participated in exercises once more.

The disparaging remarks on others being weak were his evaluation of other Special Warfare Detachments after the exercise ended.

Hmm Wei Wu felt he didn’t even exert his strength, already winning the top seat among all Special Warfare Detachments with scores twice that of the runner-up.

His decision-making speed was extremely fast, and his decision accuracy rate was very high.

Even without smart brain assistance, he can still observe through basic optical capture equipment, seeing down six ways simultaneously.

Moreover, his wisdom contained complete Elevator military intelligence. He was familiar with the operational capabilities of most space creatures currently widely used by Elevators, consistently completing correct targeting strategic decisions in the shortest time.

Even if battlefield information acquired through optical, radio, and other means had huge time delays, he could still rely on knowing oneself and enemy, calculating with precision to predict exercise target action patterns.

As Hmm Wei Wu once told Ren Zhong, no one understands the Elevators better than him, because his information directly comes from the sharing of the Hundred Emperors.

Ren Zhong once considered forcibly extracting these things directly from Hmm Wei Wu’s mind, but the Hundred Emperors clearly guarded against this trick, warning Ren Zhong explicitly.

The Hundred Emperors told Ren Zhong that it had implanted an encrypted backdoor in Hmm Wei Wu’s memory, and any attempt to directly extract memory would trigger an instant self-destructive mental shock.

The Hundred Emperors then phrased it like this, "Don’t provoke the authority of the First-Class Mother Empress out of ambition. In self-regeneration matters, I’m professional. I’m not a traitor, so cannot betray the Founder like that."

Ren Zhong listened to advice and decided to avoid force, simply placing Hmm Wei Wu in the army, then letting him self-disseminate intelligence, systematically recording it, slowly collating to generate useful information.

The Hundred Emperors didn’t say anything regarding this standoff.

Perhaps this was the tacit understanding of mutual unspoken agreement.

Eventually, less than fifty years passed, and Hmm Wei Wu slowly climbed up to the rank of Army Chief commanding one army.

During this process, Ren Zhong let the Academy of Sciences implement precise information control, preventing Hmm Wei Wu from truly spying too many effective messages.

Hmm Wei Wu had no knowledge of the basic principles of many weapons and devices; he could only see descriptions of firepower. He only knew how these things should be used, different weapons for different situations.

Most ordinary soldiers are like this, needing only to know how to pull the trigger, knowing how thick steel plates this bullet can pierce.

Several decades later, when Hmm Wei Wu became the first non-human commander of a corps, commanding about one percent of the total troop strength under the Red Blade Army.

He confidently provided the Hundred Emperors with his evaluation report.

"No need to worry, over the years, the military strength of the Red Blade Army has not significantly increased. Technology has improved, but it’s negligible. Most importantly, the Empire’s human thinking capacity is weak and single-threaded. Aside from the Red Blade Marquis himself, their best commanders are inferior to me. Our Expeditionary Army has infinite advantages, winning is certain."

The Hundred Emperors appreciated Hmm Wei Wu’s report immensely.

But neither master nor servant realized, within the Red Blade Army there were also people taken aback.

This Hmm Wei Wu is truly formidable, probably second only to the Marquis, maybe even stronger than Zheng Tian’s militaristic ancestors.

It indeed disclosed countless exciting details.
