A fierce battle began.
The first one to attack was Dauntless Fleet on the defense line. When the two sides approached 5AU, they launched the first wave of attacks.
Of course, range-type space attacks cannot be used at this distance. Only single-point attacks of the Spatial Pierce type can be used, which will cause very limited damage to the Zerg.
After the three waves of attacks passed, Lin Tian was surprised to find that all the attacking groups still maintained a neat formation without any signs of loosening up. Moreover, the vacancies in the array created by these three waves of attacks had been filled by other war bugs at a very efficient speed!
Is this the Zerg, or is it Interstellar Fleet who has undergone rigorous training?
Just when Lin Tian was amazed, all the Zerg arrays began to change formations. Sprayer Bug came to the front of the array one after another and gathered the energy in their bodies. This was a sign that they were about to start attacking.
"Commander, Zerg Sprayer Bug stepped forward and showed an attacking posture!"
"The distance now!"
"4.8AU!"
This is a full 4.8 AU. According to the previous experience of human-insect battles, this is completely within the attack range of Federal Fleet, and the Zerg can only wait in line to be shot.
But now, Sprayer Bug, which can be cultivated in large quantities by just fifth-level king insects, has actually shown an attacking posture. The range has increased by more than 100 times. Okay, have you evolved several levels?
"Closely observe and analyze the attack of Sprayer Bug, and at the same time create a new file in the database, named High-level Sprayer Bug!"
"It's the commander!"
Although Sprayer Bug and Lin Tian are confident that Dauntless Fleet can withstand their attacks, they will not be careless and underestimate the enemy!
At the next moment, Sprayer Bug, whose number on the battlefield was so large that Lin Tian was too lazy to count, began to attack.
The scorpion-like tail retracted slightly, then suddenly stretched forward, releasing its own attack, and a sphere glowing with red light swept forward quickly.
"Commander, the attack released by High-level Sprayer Bug has been detected. The energy index is extremely high, but the speed is not fast. The speed is only 120,000 kilometers per second, and the distance from contact is about 105 minutes. Wait. Is this an entity?"
"Physical attack?"
"No, no, it's not quite right to say it's an entity. It should be said to be an energy bomb wrapped in a physical shell!"
With this said, Lin Tian understood why High-level Sprayer Bug was able to start attacking from a distance of nearly 5AU.
The reason lies in this physical shell!
Use a special way to wrap energy in a physical body and shoot it out, and finally the energy contained in the physical shell suddenly explodes upon contact?
In addition to the slower attack speed, this is simply an energy attack with a super long range.
I'm afraid it's because the energy will gradually dissipate during the march, so we only attack within 5 AU!
After all, even with a physical shell, it can theoretically have unlimited range, but if the energy that is the main lethality is completely dissipated, it will be meaningless!
However, Lin Tian was a little unsure about what kind of attack was contained in that physical shell.
"Calculate the path of one of the attacks and send an unmanned reconnaissance ship to hit it. I want to know the specific parameters of this attack!"
"Yes, Commander!"
According to the current attack speed released by Sprayer Bug, as previously reported by Radar Division, there is still more than an hour before contact. There is enough time for Lin Tian to test what kind of attack it is before contact.
Soon, in the middle of the battlefield, a Hyperspace Window was opened without warning. A Dauntless-class Warship quickly sprang out and released a small unmanned reconnaissance ship from the airport.
"Commander, the battleship has arrived at the scheduled location and has completed the release of the reconnaissance ship."
"Has the attack path of High-level Sprayer Bug been confirmed?"
"Confirmed!"
"Okay, control the unmanned reconnaissance ship immediately and hit me along the calculated path!"
"Yes, Commander. The unmanned reconnaissance ship has set off, 17 minutes from contact!"
Under the control of the command team, the newly released unmanned reconnaissance ship quickly swept away along the set route at fifth combat speed!
Time passed by minute by minute, and Dauntless Fleet and the Zerg attacks were released one after another.
The reconnaissance ship sent by Lin Tian had less than one minute left before contact.
In the bridge of the USS Union, the entire staff team, Lin Tian and Bilodis were all staring at the virtual image in front of them and the tactical image beside them.
In the tactical image, a blue dot and a red dot are facing each other in a straight line, and the contact time is accurately displayed on the side.

When the two origins, one blue and one red, came into contact, they both flickered for a few times, then dimmed from the image, and then disappeared.
The observation image on the side showed that a dark red energy cluster was being generated, covering a distance of 1 million kilometers in diameter!
"What a huge killing radius. Have you calculated the specific data?"
Lin Tian was obviously shocked and asked loudly in the direction of the command team.
"It's been calculated, Commander!"
"According to our calculations, this attack is still in the form of energy, but the energy level exceeds level 11, almost reaching level 12!"
"As for the killing range, it is calculated to be a sphere with a diameter of 1 million kilometers!"
The range is above 4AU and close to 5AU, the killing range has reached a diameter of 1 million kilometers, and the energy level has also reached nearly 12.
What this concept is, Lin Tian couldn't be clearer.
In terms of power alone, it has basically reached the extreme of the Positron Cannon developed by the Federation. Of course, it is definitely not comparable to something like Gamma Ray Cannon, but it is already very amazing!
This is Sprayer Bug, the lowest level among the Zerg!
However, despite being amazed, Lin Tian was also slightly relieved. After all, although the power was surprising, this attack essentially could not pose a threat to Phase Shield.
However, just when Lin Tian just breathed a sigh of relief, a new situation appeared on the Zerg side. When there was still a distance of 3.8AU between the two sides, those Warship Bug located in the array
Fire!
As a semi-solid weapon, Lin Tian can still understand how the ultra-long range came about, but now Warship Bug uses a beam-type attack, and it can actually start attacking from such a long distance.
This was completely beyond Lin Tian's expectations, and it was simply incredible.
You know, even the most advanced beam weapons in the Federation have an attack range of just over 10 million kilometers.
It's not even one-fiftieth of the range displayed by Warship Bug today.
