"How could it be... The optical brain will recalculate the results of the simulated battle." Zhang Zihao ordered. The optical brain carried by the Peace Messenger is the most advanced and should not make mistakes. Why is it so different from his own common sense?

With such huge losses, we only defeated the Swarm fleet. How is this possible?!

Because the Swarm fleet had already set up its formation, the loss calculated by the optical brain this time was hundreds more. Then Zhang Zihao saw the reasons listed by the optical brain. This Swarm fleet is specialized, and almost all units can effectively penetrate the defensive field shield.

If you want to reduce losses, you can only use the Peacemaker to top it, and let the Titan-class battleship bear the damage for the ordinary battleship.

This is not impossible. The Peacekeeper is originally a Titan-class battleship with specialized defense. Its field shield generator and external armor are 1.6 times that of an ordinary Titan-class battleship. The weapon system is relatively simple, mainly high-energy laser arrays and hundreds of large plasma cannons, as well as point defense systems throughout the ship.

However, Zhang Zihao did not dare to let the Peace Messenger move too far forward. The political significance of this only Titan-class battleship was too great.

The leader of civilization repeatedly told him that the purpose of this expedition was to investigate a remote planet, and that he should not take excessive risks, and that preserving the strength of the civilization's fleet was the top priority.

Koret had no intention of avoiding battle to save the ship. He felt that his strategic goal had failed, so he prepared to confront the Sapphire Fleet that blocked the exit of the hyperspace channel.

With the current number of his fleet, it is still possible to open a gap, but it is a pity that he has been preparing for so long and has not captured Cadian. It is obvious that victory is within easy reach, it is only a matter of time.

"General Zhang, it's time for you to take command of the fleet." Chen Hui is naturally also in Cambridge. She is opposed to the fleet rushing to rescue Cadian. She has only one opinion, which is Tabi Star. It is best to go there without sleep.

It is a pity that in her transaction with the civilization leader, she only has the right to make suggestions but not decision-making. Sapphire Civilization also has to consider the overall interests of the entire Stellaris Council.

"Thank you for reminding Dr. Chen, please go back to the room. The next war will be very dangerous. It is safer in the room." Zhang Zihao is a civilized leader. He is very afraid of Chen Hui. After all, Chen Hui has a great influence. If she runs for election, it is very likely that she will become the next leader.

Chen Hui didn't care about Zhang Zihao's little thoughts. She originally wanted to better see the combat effectiveness of the Swarm fleet on the bridge. Seeing that Zhang Zihao wanted to expel the guests, she did not insist and chose to leave and return to her room.

Pressing her hand on the displacement device, the automatic elevator began to move with Chen Hui, and the target was her room. The distance was not far, but at this point she had already felt the Peace Messenger shake three times, and it seemed that it was being attacked intensively.

Anyway, the war had nothing to do with her. After arriving in her room, she sat on the sofa very casually and turned on all the lights in the room.

The light illuminated the entire room. This was not a simple living area, it was a huge laboratory, and in the center of the laboratory was something even more terrifying. A huge Ultralisk was restrained inside.

After seeing Chen Hui return, Narga in the energy barrier raised his head and observed Chen Hui with Ultralisk's special black eyes.

After pouring himself a drink, Chen Hui also operated on the terminal nearby, and a straw and some meat rose up from the barrier.

"Sorry my friend, I can only provide you with this kind of food here, and the taste will be worse." Chen Hui did not rush to drink, but apologized to Nagar first.

Narga ignored Chen Hui. She tore two pieces of meat and ate it, then bit her straw and drank some water.

It is not good at eating like this. The mouth of Ultralisk is used for biting, not eating. On Hatchery, it also drinks nutrient solution or lies on Creep to replenish energy.

So Narga is not used to living here, but he doesn't like to drink nutrients even more. The nutrients made by Sapphire Civilization have a terrible taste, and the effect is not even one ten thousandth of that of nutrient solution.

"It seems that you are not going well and are in trouble?" Narga asked using the electronic vocal organ around her neck, which Chen Hui made specially for her. With the help of this thing, Narga's sapphire language was nice and soft.

"Well, it's not going well. The expedition fleet has arrived at the front line and is now fighting a fleet of Swarm. It seems that the situation is not very optimistic." Chen Hui did not hide it, and took a sip of hot drink to shake off the situation.

At this time, the Peace Messenger shook again, the power supply in the room was also changed to the active power supply, and the battleship seemed to be damaged.

After stopping eating, Narga looked at Chen Hui and said, "It looks very pessimistic, but you can keep your composure."

"The number of the expedition fleet is 30,000, and the number of the Swarm fleet is 100,000. Without the Peace Messenger, the losses in this battle would have been huge." Chen Hui smiled confidently when she said this.

"I was also fortunate enough to participate in the design of the Peace Messenger. I can't say that her field shield generator is the most advanced technology in Stellaris Council. There are probably very few that can compete with it."

"As long as General Zhang can effectively utilize the power of the Peace Messenger, I dare not say that we will win a big victory, but we will definitely win."

As Chen Hui said, the combat power displayed by the Peace Messenger shocked Zhang Zihao and Korrit.

Koret originally didn't think a Titan-class battleship was that difficult to deal with. In terms of size, a Titan-class battleship is generally 30 to 40 kilometers long, and an ordinary Swarm Leviathan is also about ten kilometers long.

Judging from the fact that the larger the size, the more powerful the energy system and weapon system it is equipped with are. Koret has three hundred Swarm Leviathans, which is enough to deal with a Titan-class battleship.

As a result, after the battle began, Koret realized that he was a little optimistic. The Peacemaker's lethality was relatively average, and the firepower displayed by its high-energy laser and plasma cannon was equivalent to that of five Swarm Leviathans, but the field shield it supported was very powerful.

Even for the specialized Swarm fleet specially hatched by Koret, only the biological gigabit cannon on the Swarm Leviathan can effectively penetrate, and its power will be greatly reduced.

Zhang Zihao was also shocked. He knew that the field shield generator of the Peace Messenger was very strong. What he didn't expect was that this field shield could not only improve the defense level of the Peace Messenger itself, but also improve the defense level of the surrounding fleets.

Civilization built it secretly, and the Titan-class battleship that made its debut is indeed different! Zhang Zihao thought excitedly.

In game terms, it exists like a defensive halo.

The shape of the Peace Messenger is like this. The middle part is the power cabin and the core compartment. Four wings extend from the center to firmly protect the core part like a shield. At first glance, you can tell that it is a hard turtle with extremely strong defense.
