Inside the bridge of the flagship USS Union, which is traveling through hyperspace.
"Zero-Point Missile has been successfully detonated, and the target clearance rate is 100%!"
"The advance fleet begins to enter!"
"The space disruptor device is being launched!"
"What's going on with the Zerg in the outer circle?"
"Report to Commander, the outer circle has begun to gather towards the scheduled arrival point. There are at least 3,000 Super Swarm. Contact is expected to be made in 25 minutes!"
"Inform the advance fleet, don't wait for passive contact, take the initiative, and within an hour, you must create a 10AU safe zone for me!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Radar Division, have you found the location of target No. 1?"
"No, Commander!"
"Keep looking and tell me if you find anything!"
"Understood!"
After the advance fleet exited hyperspace, the entire bridge of the Union became busy, and various instructions continued to be issued from the mouth of Lin Tian
For now, it is generally on track with the plan, but there are still some problems.
For example, Alba's location cannot be found!
However, this is not a big problem. As Lin Tian said before, the main goal of this operation is to destroy those cocoons. As for the No. 1 target, it is only a secondary goal.
When Lin Tian's order was conveyed to the advance fleet, the entire fleet of millions of warships immediately took action.
The range cleaned by one Zero-Point Missile is about a distance of 5 astronomical units, which is a spherical area with a radius of 2.5 astronomical units.
The requirement of Lin Tian is to create a safe zone with a diameter of 10AU within an hour.
what does that mean?
This means that the advance fleet must not only defend the current area, but also need to move outward to a range of at least 3AU. After all, when the fleet attacks outwards, the Zerg are also pouring in. When the two sides come into contact, at the speed of the Zerg, the distance is at least 0.5AU.
There is another big problem here, that is, the number of warships is too small. It is extremely difficult for 1 million warships to control an area with a radius of 5AU, so that each warship needs to take care of a large area.
After all, this is equivalent to the size of an array composed of one billion battleships.
Of course Lin Tian knows this, but he also has his own confidence, and this confidence comes from Dauntless Fleet, a fleet composed entirely of mid-to-late-stage battleships equivalent to Level 7 Civilization!
The advance fleet received the order, without any hesitation, and spread out in a spherical shape with the ten-ship squadron as the basic unit!
This scene also fell into the eyes of a certain insect hiding in Bug Nest Channel.
Since the last Li Cangqiong attack, Alba has been a little scared. After all, humans are armed with Zero-Point Particle, which is too threatening to him.
Not to mention that human Zero-Point Particle weapons can be transported into the insect swarm in an instant like space teleportation.
In addition, Spatial Fault has been seen through by humans, so they simply hide in Bug Nest Channel and wait until Imperial Guard breaks out of the cocoon.
It's no wonder that Lin Tian couldn't find Alba for a while!
Alba was a little strange at this moment. One was that the appearance of the human fleet this time was completely different from what he had encountered before. If it weren't for the federal emblem on the hull, Alba would almost have thought it was another civilization.
The other is that there are too few battleships from humans this time, only about one million.
According to the strength displayed by the human fleet before, 1 million warships are absolutely unable to stop their endless swarm of insects.
Not to mention, this small fleet is not gathering together and using dense battle formations to reduce the defensive surface. Instead, it is constantly dispersed, and there is a trend of further dispersion.
This kind of operation is simply incomprehensible to Alba!
However, the next moment, Alba understood why the opponent did not choose a dense array but dispersed.
Just when the advance fleet took action according to the order of Lin Fan, it opened fire.
You must know that the range cleared by Zero-Point Missile is only a radius of 2.5AU, while the range of the secondary gun of Dauntless Fleet can reach more than 3AU, and the main gun can reach a distance of 5AU.
Therefore, all the insect swarms that were gathering were already within the firepower of the advance team.
Since that's the case, of course it's time to fire, there's nothing to hesitate about!
The biggest difference between Dauntless Fleet's main battleship and the weapons used by the Federation's conventional fleet is that because Level 6 Civilization has not yet fully mastered the research on space technology, it can only produce weapons with a single function.
Such as Spatial Tear, Spatial Pierce, Space Cut and so on!
But Dauntless Fleet's main battleship is different. In the later period, Level 7 Civilization has almost completely mastered space technology. The naval guns it produces are no longer limited to a single space effect, but are called true space general-purpose naval guns. They can release different Spatial Attack according to different battlefield environments, making the battleship more adaptable to various battlefield environments.
Of course, this kind of weapon cannot be manufactured by the Federation. If you want to exchange it for technology, Lin Fan has not reached the system level limit. You can only buy finished products, and the price is quite expensive.
The 10 billion warships currently equipped are already the current limit of Lin Fan, and it is impossible to increase the number of Dauntless Fleet in the short term.
After all, as long as you have the power to protect yourself, more points should be used to acquire technology and advance in civilization level.
The attack currently being released by the previous fleet is a technology called Spatial Collapse. This is also the attack with the largest range of damage that the current Dauntless Fleet warship can release.
Of course, the range is large, but the power is a bit small.
If the target uses Spatial Shield and has relatively strong energy support, then it is absolutely no problem to withstand at least 3 or 5 hits.
However, where can Spatial Shield be found in these ordinary war bugs?
It is an ordinary Energy Shield, which is only owned by some relatively advanced war bugs.
In a corner of the void, a ten-ship squadron was advancing rapidly on one side, while the other side was continuously carrying out over-the-horizon attacks of more than 2AU. On Space Radar, the insect sea composed of a large number of insect swarms seemed to be being constantly eaten.
For a while, there was no piece here, and for a while, there was no piece there!
There were only ten battleships, but they completely suppressed most of the Super Swarm-sized war insects.
Not only is it suppressed, but the insect swarm is still retreating!
Of course, there is no such emotion of fear in the minds of the war bugs. Rather than saying that the bug swarm is retreating, it is better to say that the Dauntless-class Warship is annihilating the bugs so fast that the time it takes for the bugs behind to replenish them is greater than the speed at which the bugs ahead are wiped out.
This created a sense that the insect swarm was continuously retreating.

Within Bug Nest Channel.
Alba's six huge eyeballs were already widened to their maximum size.
Hell, even Holy Victory Empire's battleship is definitely not that strong without using Zero-Point Particle's weapons!
