In the void, the two sides are getting closer.
Even though there were 1 million warships in the advance fleet, when these warships were evenly distributed on a sphere with a diameter of several AU, they immediately seemed extremely sparse.
On average, the distance between every two warships is about 100,000 kilometers.
And what about the Zerg on the opposite side?
It was as turbulent as the sea water, and there was almost no distance between the insects. Basically, they were all crowded together and rushing forward.
In comparison, the advance fleet is really not good enough.
Of course, after the level of civilization reaches a certain level, the significance of quantity is far less than it used to be.
——
Advance fleet, hull number F012-ST27890-3312.
A warship, only a Level 3 Civilization frigate, was speeding forward at this moment.
"Captain, we are 30 million kilometers away from the target!"
"After the battleship slows down to its second cruising speed, it begins to release all Assault Ship!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Relying on the powerful Hyperspace Engine, it only took more than ten seconds for the battleship to slow down from its third combat speed to its second cruising speed, and its braking ability was very powerful.
When the battleship slowed down and reached the captain's request, its belly with a completely meaningless gap was suddenly opened.
The huge hidden cargo compartment is almost one third of the length of the entire battleship.
A thing the size of Assault Ship slowly emerged from it.
Its appearance is cigar-shaped, and its overall surface is extremely smooth. There is nothing extra, and you can't even find the propeller on it.
Just from the appearance, you can't tell that this thing is a warship at all. It feels like a huge solid metal body.
The second ship.
The third ship.
It wasn't until the twenty-fourth ship that it finally stopped.
However, no matter who looks at it, the size of these twenty-four Assault Ships is much larger than the size of the Dauntless-class Warship in front of them.
This situation is entirely due to the application of spatial storage.
Even though Dauntless-class Warship is only the size of the frigate Level 3 Civilization, its internal space is definitely not smaller than that of a heavy battleship due to the application of Spatial Storage Technology.
"Captain, all Assault Ship have been released and connections have been established. Command has been obtained!"
"Start the first wave of impact!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Twenty-four Assault Ship, like escort ships, surround the battleship.
However, if you really think of these cigar-shaped Assault Ship as escort ships, you would be totally wrong.
The next second, with a slight vibration in the space around the battleship, all twenty-four Assault Ship were stretched.
That's right, it was stretched!
At least that's how it looks visually!
Like a golden cudgel, it kept getting longer and longer, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that the Assault Ship that originally surrounded the battleship gradually dissipated.
Of course, Assault Ship will not really be stretched, it will only cause this visual effect because it accelerates to 0.99 times the speed of light in an instant.
"All data is normal. Contact with the insect swarm is expected in 79 seconds!"
"Put all attacks around the impact path, and try to squeeze the surrounding bugs into the path of Assault Ship!"
"Yes, Captain!"
With a distance of nearly 20 million kilometers, a large number of Spatial Collapse directly acted on the insect swarm, constantly harvesting the lives of the war insects.
Although the war bug is not afraid of death, nor is it afraid of this emotion, but when it encounters a powerful attack, it will still instinctively move its position and try to stay away from the killing range.
And it is this behavior, coupled with the constant deliberate behavior of the attacking warships.
There were indeed many war bugs pushed onto the path of Assault Ship, which increased the number of bugs on this path by at least 30%.
"Ten seconds until contact!"
"9"
"8"
"10"
"Contact!"
Twenty-four Assault Ship, at this moment, all plunged into the insect swarm.
"It has penetrated 1.92 million kilometers into the insect swarm and lost 0.02% of its speed!"
"It has penetrated the insect swarm for 8.4 million kilometers and lost 0.03% of its speed!"
"Successfully penetrated the insect swarm!"
The twenty-four Assault Ship took less than a minute to penetrate the insect swarm with a thickness of tens of millions of kilometers.
And this penetration is not calculated based on the size of Assault Ship. Otherwise, even if there are thousands of Assault Ships together, they will not cause much damage to the Zerg.
The key is that although these Assault Ship are not solid, their overall shells are all made of Degenerate Matter Material, especially the head, which accounts for 20% of the entire Assault Ship, is entirely made of Degenerate Matter Material.
Therefore, although Assault Ship is not as strong as Neutron Battle Star, due to its huge mass and the ability to move forward at 0.99 times the speed of light, it can also produce a large gravitational effect, which is enough to cause fatal damage to the Zerg within tens of thousands of kilometers around the ship during its forward movement.
If we really want to make an analogy, then Assault Ship is Neutron Battle Star that is weakened tens of thousands of times.
Wherever it passed, it was like a bloody storm was set off, and the bugs that were directly hit by Assault Ship were atomized in an instant.
Although the surrounding bugs that were not directly hit avoided the worst outcome, they could not escape death and were completely torn to pieces by its powerful gravitational effect.
Perhaps, just looking at the killing radius of only tens of thousands of kilometers is not that big, but the problem is the depth, which directly penetrates the entire insect swarm!
Therefore, in terms of lethality, for a race like the Zerg that emphasizes quantity, the effect brought by Assault Ship is more outstanding than that of ordinary space weapons.
"All Assault Ship readjust their angles and prepare for the next wave of impact!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Obviously, this captain is preparing to control Assault Ship to stage a seven-in and seven-out drama in the insect swarm.
However, it was not just this captain who was doing this, but all the warships in the entire advance fleet were doing this.
Due to the entry of Assault Ship, the firepower of the entire advance team more than doubled, pushing the insect swarm back again! ——
In hyperspace, the bridge of the USS Union.
"Commander, according to this progress, we should be able to control an area large enough for the entire fleet to descend within the specified time!"
While Bilodis reported, he was also a little shocked by the attack effect of team Assault Ship.
Originally, before Assault Ship had ever engaged in actual combat, she had always regarded it as a single-point attack to forcibly destroy the enemy's important targets.
However, after the battle with the advance fleet, her mind completely changed.
maybe
Compared with single-point attacks, it seems to be more effective against enemies like Zerg that rely on quantity.
